After today's serialization meeting, Yoshida's expression was very strange, holding Makoto Takahashi's work in his hand, sitting alone in the conference room, the editor-in-chief next to him sighed, walked over and patted Yoshida on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and left directly.

&I hope it doesn't interfere with the creation of Fullmetal Alchemist......" Yoshida muttered, leaving the conference room a little frustrated.

At the just-concluded serialization meeting, Makoto Takahashi's new manga "Chilling Campus Forever" did not pass the serialization meeting! Many editors questioned Makoto Takahashi's ability to serialize two manga at the same time, and Yoshida, as the editor in charge, argued with reason, and although he reluctantly persuaded everyone, he still did not pass the commander.

> However, the Phoenix-in Murderous Manga has always performed very well, but please don't ignore the fact that he is only a high school student!" Aida looked serious, "The gimmick of a genius junior high school student has been used, and high school students are not very conspicuous......!

&It's Ah Cheng who said that there are a lot of bold ideas in this work!" Yoshida looked at the people around him with a serious face, "Although this work was a little chaotic at the beginning, but if you look closely, I think there are a lot of hidden things in this work, especially the theory about parallel worlds that Cheng mentioned to me before!"

& Maybe what you said is not wrong, but this work does not have the same things as you said!" Aita pointed out the flaws of the work sharply, "It's not that I'm targeting you, Yoshida-kun!, but if you look at this work, the storyboards in many places are handled in a mess, and the main plot is very chaotic, and the mode of coexistence of multiple protagonists is difficult to grasp for novels, let alone comics?"

&I know all of this, Aida!" Yoshida looked at Aida with a cold face, "But you have to believe Makoto! His previous works, everyone here has already seen them, do you think Makoto will not be able to handle these problems? Just like the previous "Destinynote", didn't you all think that there were a lot of people at first? But what was the result?"

& Tian, comics for me!" Seeing that the quarrel began to escalate, the editor-in-chief finally spoke, "Comics are things created by the author's heart, we can't make a decision easily, maybe a random decision! Whether a comic is interesting or not, you can only know if you have read it yourself!"

Hearing the editor-in-chief say this, Yoshida and Aida's argument stopped, and they nodded at the same time, and the entire conference room became silent, and only the sound of the editor-in-chief constantly flipping through the draft could be heard.

> Tian, this comic is a little confusing, and the storyline is very ordinary, but ......" the editor-in-chief pushed his glasses, "...... Some of these places are still interesting! So, ah, I think you should ......."

&The question now is, how did you talk to Makoto ......" Yoshida, who walked to the door of Makoto Takahashi's house, was full of what the editor-in-chief said at the serial meeting, and his face was tangled, "I don't know if this result will make Makoto stop drawing manga in a fit of anger...... Huh, not at home?"

"My dependents are cats, do you need to summon the Demon King when you encounter something that can't be solved?" came Makoto Takahashi's voice on the other side of the phone, "Oh ho ho ho, what an incompetent servant! But not now, I'm fighting an elite vengeful banshee, and I can't get out of the battle for the time being! Twenty minutes later, we'll meet at the save point in the hot spring plaza! Of course, if I don't show up, then I've been sacrificed!" At that time, please pass on my legacy and protect the Konoha Ninja Village!"

&...... Hashimakoto" Yoshida resisted the thought of hanging up the phone, and said in a cold voice, gritting his teeth, "I'll wait for you at your door!"

& ......"Makoto Takahashi hung up the phone directly!"

Makoto Takahashi said it was twenty minutes, but by the time Yoshida saw Makoto Takahashi, it was already two hours later! Faced with Yoshida, who was full of anger and had already begun to enter the edge of blackening, Makoto Takahashi scratched his head blankly, cocked his thumb, and showed a smile that he thought was very bright!

&Haha, I'm sorry, my family cat, I just got lost on the road called life!"

&&I hope you'll be able to laugh later!" Yoshida took a deep breath and turned to follow Makoto Takahashi into the room.

Looking at the manga manuscript that Yoshida put on the table, Makoto Takahashi showed a trace of doubt in his eyes, and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. And Yoshida didn't speak, but quietly observed Makoto Takahashi's expression! For a long time, Makoto Takahashi posted the manga manuscript on the table, the smile on his face gradually faded, lowered his head, and began to think seriously about something!

>> Ah, you can't do this!" Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi who was deep in thought, and began to persuade, "The serial meeting did not pass, this kind of thing is normal! Don't have negative emotions because of such a trivial matter, you know, you are a real person in Phoenix Temple, and you are a cartoonist!"

& So what?" Makoto Takahashi looked up at Yoshida, "The serial meeting didn't pass, and this matter ...... Well, it was already in my expectation! The Demon God's Evil Eye had already foreshadowed everything that was coming!"

Yoshida didn't find a series of negative expressions such as sadness, loss, or frustration on Makoto Takahashi's face, and he was a little puzzled, "You already knew that this work couldn't pass the serialization meeting? Makoto, when facing setbacks, don't force a smile! Man, it's normal to fail once or twice! After failure, it's good to get up again and move on! What you have to do now is to draw Fullmetal Alchemist well, after all, everyone has given this manga a high evaluation! ”

>> What are you thinking, my family cat?" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida with a smile on his face, "That kind of term for comforting bereaved dogs...... Don't underestimate the Demon King's strength! Besides, have you ever seen a Demon King who wants to destroy the world, but has only one simple plan? Tsk tsk, you are too naïve!"

&Makoto you ......" Yoshida suddenly found himself a little taken for granted, "Don't you feel unwilling that the manga didn't pass the serialization meeting?"

&Willing?maybe......" Makoto Takahashi rubbed his temples and sighed with an unhappy expression, "I wanted to save some trouble, but now it seems that it still can't work......!

& I expected you to be hit by this, but it seems that I was thinking too much...... In short, now you, just draw "Fullmetal Alchemist" well!" Yoshida completely chose to ignore the words he didn't understand, "Don't think about the new serialization for the time being!"

& If the first set of battle plans doesn't work, then let's move on to the second set of battle plans!" Takahashi Makoto had a wicked smile on his face, "Then, my family cat, this time I will make an exception for you to see the existence of the king!"

& ......Yes" Yoshida watched Makoto Takahashi take out the manga manuscript from the drawer, and cold sweat broke out on his head, "It's not going to be another manga draft for the new serial, right? Don't make a fuss......"

&The previous work, I was too anxious! Because the parallel theory cannot be accepted by the reader, I don't know when the king will appear! But now I encounter such a thing...... It's a bit contrary to my plan, maybe I'm thinking too much!" Makoto Takahashi put the manga manuscript on the table, a trace of remorse flashed on his face, "Hmph, since this time has come, then it's time for you to see what the so-called king of duelists looks like!"

&Say...... Are you sure this is your new work?" Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi with a gloomy face, "You're just kidding me, aren't you? This is obviously the work you drew before, isn't it? It's just that you deleted some characters!"

Actually, that's what this manga is really about!" Makoto Takahashi raised his hand, "sacrificing despair for the light of hope...... Come out, "When the Cicadas Cried"!"

"......" Yoshida picked up the manga draft and flipped through it, his face became worse and worse, and finally he was overwhelmed, threw the manga draft on the table, and roared loudly, "Let's not comment on whether this manga is interesting or not, you tell me first, since "When the Cicada Cried" is a separate story, why didn't you draw it like this at the beginning, but instead added some unnecessary things to it? Do you know, for the previous work, I fought hard at the serialization meeting!"

"It's what you should do!" Makoto Takahashi sneered, "My family is a cat, can't you see it? This is the Demon King's test for you! If you can't complete the Demon King's trial, then how can you become a loyal servant?"

"Lie, it's definitely a lie!" Yoshida's face was very angry, "You must have heard me say that the development of the story was a little messy before, and then you changed it to this!"

Who do you think you are?" Makoto Takahashi turned his head, not daring to face Yoshida, and stammered a little, "Hmph, this is just a sudden reminder of me...... That one...... This ......"

"What did I do so hard for?" Yoshida looked at Makoto Takahashi and sat on the ground weakly, "Are you sure you want to submit this to the serialization meeting?"

"Makoto Takahashi folded his hands, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and said with a holy face, "All this is prepared to welcome my king! The existence of parallel worlds is the condition to ensure the birth of my king! But if you want to challenge the existence of gods, it is not enough to have only my king! In order to create a relatively fair battlefield, I will keep trying, keep honing, and integrate the world or the plot...... Until I have mastered these mysteries, I will welcome the coming of my king!"

At that time, the editor-in-chief told me that if conditions permit, you really want to start a new serialization, instead of spending time drawing some stories that you don't want to close, it is better to seriously draw interesting stories more perfectly! This is what the editor-in-chief asked me to convey to you after reading the work you submitted before!"

"Well, the Commander has a wisdom that his servants do not possess......! It seems that I thought that with the help of the golden finger, I could finish the world with the help of the golden finger, but I was too naïve!" Makoto Takahashi completely ignored Yoshida, who was on the verge of an outbreak, and began to make a high-pitched declaration, "But it doesn't matter, let "When the Cicada Cries Now" become the vanguard of the counterattack, and turn it into a sharp blade to implement the crow army of the King of Black Flame......!

&Makoto, I'm curious, what you've been talking about, I'm ......" Looking at Makoto Takahashi, who was in a certain state, Yoshida asked curiously, "...... Who the hell is it?"

&'s real name is not something that a servant like you can listen to wantonly!" Makoto Takahashi looked at Yoshida with a cold expression, "Wait quietly! When the horn of the Battle of the God Butcher sounds, my king will surely come to the world!"
