Chapter 404: Are You Really Here for the Annual Meeting?
According to the practice of the editors, whenever the annual meeting is held, all the editors in charge who do not appear at the annual meeting must wear all kinds of strange costumes and perform programs...... And as the responsible editor of the manga artist Phoenix Temple, Yoshida has become the responsible editor who will inevitably appear at the annual meeting every year!
By the way, under the [role model] of a certain middle two manga artist, the editor in charge who cooperates with Yoshida the most in the annual meeting performance every year is either Hattori, the editor of Yumeha Aki, or the editor of Eijiro, the new wife......
However, at this year's annual meeting, because a cartoonist who never appeared in the past actually appeared at the scene of the annual meeting this year, a responsible editor who was an exclusive guest of the performance at the annual meeting in previous years finally did not need to wear [shameful costumes] this year, and performed on stage for [no discipline......
"It's not scientific! Yes...... Liar, huh?"
A certain responsible editor, who has long since lost the festival, is also running out of brains for the program to be performed at the annual meeting this year, as usual...... However, after learning from the editor-in-chief that Makoto Takahashi promised to come to the annual meeting, Yoshida kept repeating these two sentences in his mouth! Although it is a happy thing to be able to avoid [Shame Play], Yoshida, as a party concerned, is not happy at all!
Let's not mention that Yoshida himself has made up his mind to give up [festival] and the like for that performance...... After all, it has become a common practice for a second-year cartoonist not to come to the annual meeting!
However, what makes Yoshida difficult to accept is that Makoto Takahashi, who has always disliked attending the annual meeting, will actually take the initiative to participate in the annual meeting this year, and the time is before being invited by himself as the editor in charge! Yoshida's sixth sense as a family cat is roaring and shouting, and this year's annual meeting will definitely be very lively if someone else attends...... In every sense of the word!
"I've managed to infiltrate the venue...... I know that this time the task is indeed difficult, but in order to be a partner in justice...... Even if I risk my life, I will definitely complete this mission!" The white coat that was looking around and saying all kinds of [savior] remarks into the phone was undoubtedly Makoto Takahashi! Yoshida didn't need to turn on the search mode at all, and he could easily find a certain middle school and second manga artist!
"Now, I said Makoto...... "Yoshida didn't have to perform a routine shameful performance, so he put on a formal suit that he hadn't seen for a long time! Carrying a wine glass to Makoto Takahashi, as a dutiful editor-in-charge, Yoshida still didn't abandon his responsibilities as a responsible editor even if he attended the annual meeting!" "I didn't expect you to come to the annual meeting this year...... HOW'S THE PROGRESS OF THE COMPLETION OF THE MANGA "CLANNAD?"
“…… "Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida with a smirk on his face, frowned slightly, and did not answer Yoshida's question, but turned sideways and continued to talk, "It's me...... Visually it has been discovered by the lackeys of the organization!Support?Hmph, with an enemy of this level in front of me, I can clean up ten ...... with one hand So big husband, it's still easy to get out!"
"......" really asked Makoto Takahashi to participate in this kind of annual meeting that gathers many people, and that's how it will become...... Yoshida listened to the whispers and chuckles of the people around him from time to time, and instantly felt the urge to cast a sorcerer's [Vertigo] strategy on a certain secondary and second manga artist!
“…… That's right, it's all for the sake of righteousness!ELPSYCONGROO!" Just when Yoshida was still lamenting from the bottom of his heart the specificity of a certain middle school and second manga artist's behavior, Takahashi Makoto's side seemed to have ended the strange call! Ignoring Yoshida's depressed look on his face and the look of "I want to beat you", Takahashi put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, and said in a rather dissatisfied tone while looking around at the people around him, " Sure enough, as Jin Shin said, the greatest sin of human beings is that they are numerous and lack uniqueness......"
"Yes, yes, Makoto, you are a unique being...... what a perfunctory tone is this? Although today is the annual meeting, and although today should be spent happily, Yoshida still chooses to speak in this way for someone who is in the second year of secondary school...... Because Yoshida knows that once he complains about Makoto Takahashi's words, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable!
However, it was already too late...... Because he hates this kind of crowd gathering activity, Makoto Takahashi can't suppress his reason anymore!
"From the very beginning, I wondered, why do humans engage in such activities that waste time and life?" Yoshida's worst fear still happened, and a certain middle school and second manga artist in a white coat began to talk about hatred everywhere! "Like that fat man over there, with an obscene look, it's obvious that he is the kind of unspoken rule implementer who [just stay with me for one night can make you a heroine voice actor]......"
"Hey, hey, Makoto is the sponsor of the anime......" Yoshida began to break out in a cold sweat......
"Eh, doesn't it mean that inhuman creatures are not allowed in the venue, and why are there horse-headed people here?"
"Ah Cheng, this is definitely discrimination! Although people do have a horse's face...... But you're going too far, aren't you?"
"Forget about the above......" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yajo Mumengye, who was surrounded by a group of people not far away, and asked Yoshida with some confusion, "My dependents, are you sure that today is really an annual meeting, not an annual [philosophical ♂ ♂ party ♂]...... If you can have such an awareness in comics, let alone me, even the King of Black Flame will admit defeat!"
...... "If the two of them heard your words, they would definitely kill you, Makoto Takahashi!"
"Although it is said that nuns like Lis, Intix, etc., are all the products of the black hole, and the stomach is connected to the existence of another dimension......" Makoto Takahashi pointed to his new wife Eiji, who was practicing [Sanhua Gathering Top] with a plate full of food, and loudly vented his dissatisfaction to Yoshida, "But what is the matter with that guy of the King of Black Flames? Why is he, as a fierce collaborator of my Phoenix Academy, awaken the gluttony skill that can only be awakened by [female nuns]? Could it be that he is performing the [Personality Awakening Technique] After that, after the personality of the King of Black Flame awakened, did he become a mother? It's not scientific at all!"
"I also think it's unscientific...... "It's rare that Yoshida will agree with Makoto Takahashi's opinion! After all, at the annual meeting, the characteristics of the new wife Eiji [gluttony] are really memorable!
"Lord Phoenix Temple...... Hiccup!" The little sea otter, who has fallen into a drunken state, still does not forget to maintain high respect for a certain secondary and second cartoonist......! I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, but today's little sea otter didn't have the usual timidity when communicating with Makoto Takahashi, "Yuri-chan...... Belch...... Yuri-chan said that the plot of the manga "CLANNAD" ...... ...... vomit"
Before he finished speaking, the little sea otter suddenly covered his mouth with a pale face, and quickly turned away from defeat...... Yoshida, who witnessed this process, kept twitching the corners of his mouth, and wanted to say something several times, but in the end he still didn't say a word!
"Oh, Teacher of Phoenix Academy, you actually came to say!" The new wife Eiji also seemed to notice Makoto Takahashi, and quickly got rid of the uncles gathered around her, and quickly moved to Makoto Takahashi's side, "Although it's a little late...... But Happy New Year, Anyway, Teacher Phoenix, about that comic, when will it start serializing?"
"You can ...... at any time" Although it is a little difficult to understand why his new wife Eiji can speak clearly while eating, when it comes to the new manga, Makoto Takahashi still feels the need to communicate with his new wife Eiji, "Although I would love to say so...... But the King of Black Flame, do you think that even if the serialization starts now, the new manga will be able to resist the onslaught of CLANNAD?"
"Of course not!" As a cartoonist who has read the manga "CLANNAD" in advance, as the author of another manga, the new wife Eiji naturally has the most right to speak, "Although I don't know what kind of twist the content behind "CLANNAD" will be, but judging from what I saw that day, whether it is the new manga of [Makoto Shinkai] or the manga of Mr. Yumeha of Akigi, it will not work!"
"Sure enough, it's right to choose the King of Black Flame as your collaborator!" Makoto Takahashi spread his hands helplessly, and said to his new wife Eiji, who was a little depressed, "If you want to serialize a new manga, the King of Black Flame, you must wait until the manga "CLANNAD" is serialized...... That's basically it!"
"It's really a pity...... I thought I would be able to see the gorgeous performance of [Super Electromagnetic Cannon] earlier!" Looking at Makoto Takahashi, who turned around and was about to leave, his new wife Eiji muttered with some regret, "Are you leaving, Teacher of Phoenix Academy?"
"Hmm...... Tonight's purpose has been achieved, so for more pleasure, it's time to leave!" Makoto Takahashi raised his white coat lightly and raised his right hand with his back to his new wife, Eiji, in a bid of farewell, "CLANNAD, which will resume serialization next month...... It's the second time I've observed it, but I think the King of Black Flame might be crying even more miserably than the last time!"
“…… That's really looking forward to it!" The new wife Eiji whispered a sentence and put the plate full of food back on the table...... A certain cartoonist who has always been keen on the food of the annual annual meeting, but this year's annual meeting is planning to leave early!
“…… By the way, Ah Cheng, are you really here to attend the annual meeting today?"
Yoshida, who came out after Makoto Takahashi, didn't understand the idea of a certain middle school second manga artist at all!
Spit it, sell cuteness, and leave after saying some inexplicable words...... It's not so much Makoto Takahashi's performance at the annual meeting, but it's still the same as always, with the magical style of a middle two cartoonist, but it's like he's here to play soy sauce!
"The purpose of coming here tonight is to observe the ugliness of ignorant human beings, immersed in joy without knowing the despair and pain of the future......" Makoto Takahashi spread his hands and looked up at the cold winter night, "I am an observer, a witness to the world...... This is the choice of the Gate of the Stone of Destiny!Pinch hahaha......"
Celebrate with joy......
Have a good laugh......
The more joyful I am at this time, the more I will be able to experience the pain and despair when "CLANNAD" resumes serialization...... Sure enough, this kind of pleasure that distorts the soul is a delicacy that is hard to give up no matter how many times you taste it! )
