Chapter 385: A Reason to Do Your Best
The hand of the new wife, Eiji, who held the brush, began to tremble because of the soreness caused by the long hours of work......
Eiji, the new wife who used to make strange noises when finishing the manga draft, is now dry and the voice in her throat has become hoarse......
Cartoonists who originally worked at home, because they didn't withstand the interference of ultraviolet rays for a long time, so their faces were pale or something, which is a relatively normal phenomenon...... But now because he hasn't had a good rest, his new wife Eiji's face looks frighteningly pale at the moment!
Soreness in the arms, dryness in the throat...... These sensations, called physiological sensations, are all a reminder to the new wife Eiji that his body is about to reach its limit! But the cartoonist named Eiji the new wife did not stop his work because of this, and still just held the brush and drew hard......
The cartoons scattered around the table prove that the new wife Eiji has been completing the cartoons at an astonishing speed during this time...... And according to the principle of equivalent exchange, the new wife Eiji sacrificed a lot of rest time and the health of her body in order to complete these comics!
Since observing the [Super Electromagnetic Cannon], the new wife Eiji has entered such a crazy rhythm when she comes back!
…… Sure enough, did it start the rhythm of [If you don't go crazy, you can't live]?
"Although I can understand your eagerness to finish "A Certain Science", this is not possible!" Yujiro persuaded his new wife Eiji who was drawing again while sorting through the messy manga drafts around the table! "Now, new wife-kun, take a break!"
"Yada! I refused!" "Stubborn like an awkward child, the new wife Eiji rejected Yujiro's proposal very decisively and willfully, and did not stop finishing the manga manuscript because of his words," although the teacher of Phoenix Academy said that he was not in a hurry to finish it. But I still want to finish it early!"
"But don't you still have a manga serialized in a weekly magazine?" Yujiro tried to convince his new wife Eiji in a different direction, "It's ...... to serialize both weekly and monthly magazines at the same time."
"It can be done...... Of course you can do this kind of thing!" "The new wife Eiji seemed to have understood what Yujiro wanted to say, and replied prejudging one step earlier, "Since the teacher of Phoenix Academy can serialize both "CLANNAD" and "Dream Eater" at the same time. So this kind of thing...... I can do the same thing!"
"Calm down, new wife-kun! I think competing with the monster of the Phoenix Courtyard is completely an act of begging!" Regarding the new wife Eiji's thoughts at the moment, Yujiro said that he was powerless to complain!
It's good to have the awareness that if someone else can do it, there's no reason why I can't do the same thing...... But the premise should also be clearly distinguished, is it not the object of comparison? According to the information obtained from Yoshida before, the physical strength of a certain middle two cartoonist is definitely a [Demon King] or [Extrahuman] level existence!
"Big husband!" The new wife, Eiji, rarely ignored Yujiro in the process of completing the comics. There was a very dazzling light burning in his eyes, and he replied to Yujiro very seriously, "Although I have always felt that Mr. Yacheng Mumeye is a [lifelong rival]...... But in the process of completing the comics, I realized that the existence of the real duel was really said by the teacher of Phoenix Academy! So, I was serializing monthly and weekly magazines at the same time...... It's not about trying to do it, it's about what you have to do......! Ha! Super Electromagnetic Cannon!
"Although I really want to persuade my new wife, you have a good rest. But looking at your current state, it is estimated that it should be useless to persuade anything!" looked at his new wife, Eiji, who looked completely like he didn't enter. Yujiro spread his hands a little helplessly, "Okay, I won't stop your new wife!"
"Oh, it's unexpectedly reasonable at this time, Yujiro San!" Regarding Yujiro's attitude at the moment, his new wife Eiji was obviously a little surprised. The drawing pen in his hand was lightly dipped in ink, and while he began to finish the manga draft, he asked Yujiro, "If it were normal, Yujiro-san would definitely do his best to stop me." He didn't even hesitate to use the murderous killing trick of [summoning the editor-in-chief......]! Tut-tut, is your head broken?"
"New wife, I said you......" Gritting teeth and black lines on his head, no matter which one of them shows the anger of the speaker at the moment! However, when the two appear in the same person together, through the principle of negative and positive, it shows that although the speaker is full of anger at this time, he is trying to endure and suppress the power of the desolate flood in his body that is about to go berserk because of various conditions and restrictions! "I see that you are the same as the fierce guy in the Phoenix Courtyard, and you have been completely broken!"
"Of course!" Without denying Yujiro's speculation and inference, his new wife Eiji lowered her head and began to speed up the completion of the comic draft, muttering in a voice that Yujiro could barely hear, "If you want to defeat His Royal Highness the Great Demon King, the first thing to do is to keep working hard and move forward in the direction of ......the brave."
After several unsuccessful attempts to suggest his new wife Eiji to have a good rest, Yujiro, who thoroughly understood the truth of [the bell must be tied to the bell person], although there were 10,000 unwilling to meet Makoto Takahashi in his heart, whether it was his duty as the editor in charge, or as a friend of his new wife Eji, in desperation, he still found Makoto Takahashi!
“…… I see...... Is it a strategy to save the country with a curve?" After listening to Yujiro's narration, Makoto Takahashi stopped his brush and turned his head to look at the frightened Yujiro over there, "So, the servant of the King of Black Flame, let's not talk about whether I am willing to stop the King of Black Flame...... What price can you pay?"
Yujiro looked at Makoto Takahashi with a puzzled expression, his expression was obviously saying, "Did I hear it wrong just now?" and after confirming that he had heard correctly, Yujiro almost bit his tongue, looked at Makoto Takahashi in disbelief, and asked with difficulty, "You guys...... Aren't they friends? Aren't we supposed to ...... each other?"
"Huh?friend?" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yujiro in surprise, "The servant of the King of Black Flame, I want to talk about your wrong perception." When did it come about? Friends or something...... Stop laughing at the dead!"
"But you didn't serialize manga together under the name [Makoto Shinkai]...... Yujiro understands that the two people who can create manga together should be considered friends......, right?
"You want to say that Yajo Mumengye is over there, right?tsk!Is the relationship between Lan Du's and the yellow-haired glasses-kun a friend?That's Hongguoguo's friend!Don't confuse the definition of a friend and a friend!" Takahashi Makoto seemed to be quite indignant at Yujiro's misunderstanding, and slapped the table fiercely, "Regarding the definition of a friend, you go to my family cat to find relevant literature! With this naïve and naïve idea...... By the way, are you really the servant of the King of the Black Flame? and what do you want? You have to pay something, but the common sense of this world!"
"But ......" Even Yoshida, who has the title of [Poisonous Tongue] on the editorial side, is not an opponent of Makoto Takahashi, let alone a mere Yujiro? Sure enough, the evaluation of the new wife Eiji is correct...... Yujiro's IQ is indeed worrying!
"Now, servant of the King of Black Flame, answer me a question!" Takahashi Makoto's stopped brushing again, but this did not hinder the conversation between the two, "Wang, is it lonely?"
“…… Huh?" Yujiro said that he couldn't keep up with the thinking of a middle school cartoonist at all, with a look of help. Turning his head to look at his colleague on the side, Yoshida, who had been silent since he entered the door......
But it's a pity that Yoshida seems to want to be silent to the end today, and in the face of Yujiro's pleading gaze, he just spread his hands helplessly, and then continued to observe some of the comic drafts of "A Certain Science" in his hands! Yoshida, who had missed the [Super Electromagnetic Cannon] experiment before, can only make up for the regret of missing the comic manuscript in his hand now......
"The king is above all the people, and he sits on a throne and looks down on the people. Because he has royal power, he has already decided to be accompanied by loneliness......" Takahashi Makoto said in a very calm tone. But whether it was Yoshida, who was reading the manga, or Yujiro, who was listening carefully, they could feel that when a certain middle two manga artist was speaking, it was from the tremor of the soul! Greedier than anyone else, taller than anyone else, and likewise more far-sighted than anyone else...... However, the price to be paid is the so-called loneliness! The king can be admired and admired by the people. But the king must be alone, because this is the destiny of the king, and this is the price to be paid to become a king!"
"That ......" sounds like some truth though...... But what does this have to do with his new wife Eiji's desperate drawing of comics?? Yujiro looked at Makoto Takahashi with a stupid look and tried to interrupt Makoto Takahashi's words, but before Yujiro could speak, he was directly sniped by Makoto Takahashi!
"So the servant of the King of Black Flame, do you understand now?" Makoto Takahashi pulled the brush down heavily, completing the final stroke of the character's line drawing, and then threw the brush aside, and continued, "It's not that I don't want to help the King of Black Flame, but because all this is the king's fate! The so-called king doesn't need friends or anything, just strengthen his will and move towards the desired goal! So...... Is that something to think about? Hmph, no kidding! Is the body anything compared to the pain that comes from the soul when it gives up the existence it has always believed in?
"It's just about finishing the comics, Ah Cheng, aren't you exaggerating too much......" Ding Ding, who consciously came to work overtime to complete the comic manuscript today, stopped his brush at this moment and intervened in the conversation! But after seeing the weird smile on Makoto Takahashi's face, Ding Ding immediately felt a chill, although he reacted now that he shouldn't have rushed into the conversation, but it seemed to be too late! And Ah Cheng, Yujiro San, is also thinking about his new wife Eiji! If his new wife Eiji falls ill because of this, it will delay the progress of the manga "A Certain Science"......"
Makoto Takahashi did not retaliate against Ding Ding, who suddenly intervened in the conversation, but just pointed to the stack of comic manuscripts on the table to be completed, and motioned to Uncle Ding Ding to continue working...... Ding Ding showed a sad and indignant expression on his face, and after making a look of "I can only help you get here" to Yujiro, like an abandoned resentful woman, he picked up the comic manuscript on the table, and continued to work with a long sigh......
Since you are the king's servant, no matter what path the king takes, you should follow the king without hesitation, instead of becoming an obstacle and an obstacle when the king is advancing...... You are not worthy of being the king's servant!" After sending Uncle Tintin away, Makoto Takahashi turned his head to look at Yujiro and continued the topic just now, "When my family cat was moving forward, although there were some ignorant complaints from ordinary people, it never tried to stop me, because my family cat believed in me and was willing to follow me...... So compared to my family cat, the servant of the King of Black Flame, you are still far behind!"
Yoshida, who was praised by Makoto Takahashi, silently looked down at the comic manuscript, but his heart was like a horse roaring by...... It's not that I don't want to stop you, it's just that every time I want to stop you, no, or even just to make some suggestions, I can feel Makoto Takahashi's murderous aura breaking through the sky......
“……”
Although the rhetoric is a bit exaggerated, although the tone is a little unpleasant, but for Takahashi Makoto's words, Yujiro can't refute it! Although from the perspective of the responsible editor, Yujiro still will not agree with the behavior of his new wife Eiji, but what if it is from the perspective of a manga artist?
Whether it's the determination to fight the opponent to the end, or the unwillingness that [others can do it but can't]...... Is it just a comic manuscript of "A Certain Science" that the new wife Eiji has worked so hard to complete?
No, it's more than that, right?
The reason why the new wife Eiji worked so hard, and even tried his best to complete the manga draft, was because the new wife Eiji knew the gap between himself and Makoto Takahashi...... If you can't even do what Makoto Takahashi was able to do, then how can you have a duel? If you can't do what Makoto Takahashi once did, then what qualifications do you have to start a duel?
Maybe......
I shouldn't have come here today......
Rather, it should ......
"Oh, it seems that the members of the editorial side are not useless existences!" Takahashi Makoto looked at Yujiro who was gradually withdrawing from the [Introspection State], and a smile appeared on his face, "Now, the servant of the King of Black Flame! It seems that you have understood? So can you answer my previous question?"
"......" Yujiro said that he still couldn't answer! )
