The structure of the Junior Jump editorial department is very simple, with a chief editor, three groups of editors, each group has an associate editor, and several editors under him.

The chief editor-in-chief, named Nao Sasaki, sat at his desk, looked at Koji Yoshida, the second deputy editor in front of him, and repeated: "You mean, the author is only ten years old? ”

Koji Yoshida nodded: "Yes, I can hear from the phone that the other party is not very old, he does want to become a manga artist, but because he is underage, he needs us to talk to his guardian." ”

Editor-in-chief Zhang Sasaki groaned, he looked at the manuscript in his hand, this story is very interesting, and the author's painting is also very good, the lines drawn by the dipping pen actually have a kind of brush style, the lines are smooth, some places are tactful and light, some places are hard and powerful, with a strong impact, and the setting of this ninja system only shows the tip of the iceberg, and many things can continue to be excavated in the future, it is a popular masterpiece that can become a long story!

However......

"Ten years old? At such a young age? Are you sure there are no other originals? ”

Koji Yoshida shook his head: "No, I talked to him about the follow-up story direction and setting, that kid has already thought about everything, and the story development is also ups and downs, not like there are other original works." ”

Sasaki said: "Since this work has been shortlisted for the Tezuka Prize, it is enough to prove its potential, and we don't want such an excellent work to die anyway." ”

Koji Yoshida looked at the editor-in-chief in surprise: "You mean that this work was shortlisted for the Tezuka Prize?" ”

"Yes, although it has not been announced yet, the ranking has come out, it is an admission award, and the potential is huge." Sasaki said categorically: "Since the other party asked us to have an interview, then let's go and see it for myself." ”

Koji Yoshida took a deep breath: "Yes! ”

He must make this work really serialized!

…… The dream of a real serialization seems a little far away.

When Koji Yoshida and Sasaki really came to the door according to the address, they were completely dumbfounded.

Natsukawa Uroru's address is the annex of the field gate in Kumamoto, and the field gate is an ancient family, even the annex is a courtyard that occupies a large area, and when he stood in front of the door and knocked on the door, not only Yoshida Koji, but even the editor-in-chief Sasaki, was a little apprehensive.

If this author really lives in this kind of place, he is definitely not a person who can be impressed by money.

Ring the doorbell, and it took a long time for someone to open the door.

Out of the picture was a young man who wore a wide gray yukata with half-long hair and a solemn face covered with a long robe, looking like a nobleman from the shogunate era.

Sasaki coughed: "Hello, I'm Sasaki, the chief editor of Shonen Jump, and this is Koji Yoshida, the deputy editor, who contacted you before and visited today." ”

This young man is the little brother of the field family, and he nodded: "Nanase-sama is waiting for you, please come with me." ”

He let the two of them into the door, inside and outside the door are two worlds, if the outside is a busy modern society, the door is a long and peaceful elegant era, a group of people walk on the long corridor, under the corridor is a quiet and quiet garden, the spring water is flowing, sometimes there is a tail of red rain jumping out of the water, spit out a few wisps of clear spring, walking in such a courtyard, the heart is quiet, Sasaki and Yoshida Koji came before all kinds of speculation and prediction are gone, can build such an elegant courtyard in the city, It's not something that ordinary people can do.

Brush pull.

The young man in front of him opened the paper door, and after entering, he sat down and bowed: "Nanase-sama, the guest has arrived." ”

Lady Nanase nodded, "Please come in." ”

Opening the paper door, the wind blew in from the other side of the room, and it was not until they entered the room that Sasaki and Koji Yoshida heard the jingling wind chimes under the opposite porch.

On the opposite side is also the cloister, the paper door is wide open, through which you can clearly see a white sand, with mountains and rocks standing in it, and a lady is sitting in the room watching them.

Sasaki hurriedly bowed: "First meeting, in Shimosaki, the editor-in-chief of Junior Jump, this is Koji Yoshida, please forgive me for bothering rashly." ”

Koji Yoshida also spoke: "In Shimoyoshida Koji, the deputy editor of Shonen Jump. ”

"I'm Nanase." Nanase said lightly: "Please take a seat." ”

Sasaki sat opposite Nanase, due to the atmosphere and environment, both of them sat upright, and subconsciously straightened their bodies, trying to make themselves ...... Well, there's no shame on you.

Ms. Nanase didn't speak, she just waved her hand, and soon someone came over with a tea tray to serve tea.

Sasaki and Koji Yoshida are even more nervous, is this going to have a tea ceremony exchange? Oh my God, I knew I was here to check the relevant information first!

Fortunately, the majestic lady in front of her had no such intention, just an ordinary tea, and the tea soup was already brewed and served with a hat the size of a child's fist.

Sasaki picked up the teacup with a stiff face, and subconsciously shuddered after seeing the teacup clearly, this and this...... Looks like Tang Wu Tianmu? It's not clear which one it is, that is to say, the teacup he is holding in his hand is an antique from the ancient Tang Kingdom?

If his wrist shook like that and it shattered...... Sasaki couldn't imagine it anymore.

He took a sip cautiously, and immediately put it down quickly, and he didn't drink the taste of the tea soup at all.

He took a deep breath and said what he meant.

"A few days ago, our editorial department received a submission, the submission address was left here, the author said in the manuscript that he wanted to become a cartoonist, before we also called Guò, the other party asked us to come and interview him, I don't know ......"

Ms. Nanase held the tea cup, she did not drink it directly, but slowly rubbed the delicate porcelain surface of the tea cup in her hand, the maroon kimono hung down, the bottom of the skirt turned black, embroidered with vermilion cherry blossoms and waves, and the wide sleeves hung down neatly, gently shaking with the stroking action.

She was as elegant and reserved as a court lady, smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes, and after a while she spoke, her tone was calm, but her words were light and sharp: "I wonder if you can let me see the manuscript?" The young masters of this family don't have the leisure time to paint such childish things. ”

Yoshida Koji was stunned for a moment, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to want to say something, Sasaki hurriedly pulled the sleeves of his subordinates secretly, signaling the other party to shut up.

He said: "Naturally, you can, but I don't know what the relationship between you and the author is?" ”

"The old body is not talented, and I will deal with the affairs of my family." Ms. Nanase reached out and took a few drafts handed over by Sasaki, she looked at them, the corners of her lips raised slightly, okay, it is indeed a drawing of Emiyagawa, but compared to those magic arrays with mysterious symbols, the manga characters look much more handsome.

Nanase put the manuscript aside and clapped his hands, and soon someone came in and left with the manuscript.

She said, "Please wait a moment." ”

Sasaki was stunned: "This ......"

Nanase smiled: "Master Kazukawa will come over in a while, please be calm, I don't know what hard rules and benefits your company's comic series has?" ”

Confirming the authenticity of the matter, Nanase instinctively began to talk about the benefits.

Sasaki didn't say a few words, and he felt struggling.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, this time he was really careless.

"Comics?" Shizuji looked at the manuscript sent by Nanase and chuckled, "Are you really going to be a manga artist?" ”

Xia Chuanyu said: "This is more suitable for you and for me, and it is more convenient." ”

Shizuji of the field moved, he looked at the boy, and remembered the previous task of intercepting Asakura.

Xia Chuanyu said calmly: "I have to do something, which may bring some trouble to the field, but if it is done in the name of a person, it will be fine." ”

The field Jingji put down the manuscript, and he said with a smile: "Emiya Chuanjun, you have been in the field for a year, and you plan to leave?" ”

Xia Chuanyu sneered: "How is it possible? My custody is in your hands, or is it entrusted to you by my father, why should I break away? ”

He pointed to the manuscript: "If I really want to break away, I don't need to use my real name." ”

The expression of Shizuji at this moment was very unfathomable.

"Do you want to completely separate your identity?"

Xia Chuanyu said: "Yes, Wei Gongchuan is a magician who aspires to become a cartoonist, a small and powerful magician, and at the same time is restrained by the field, I think this identity will be at ease in all aspects, and it will be very convenient for you and me." ”

Shizuji of the field chuckled, "What about actually?" ”

"Actually......" Shizuji Natsukawa looked at: "It is undeniable that after the death of my adoptive father, you came forward to shelter me and Shirou, so if there are some things that are inconvenient for you to do, you can leave them to me, and I can also do some things myself, of course, I can promise not to deliberately damage the interests of the field Ichichi, if I am not accidentally implicated...... Then I can't help it. ”

The field Jingji squinted slightly, and the eyes that were not covered by the talisman flashed with a piercing light, and he said after a while: "With your words, I can assume that you don't plan to revive the Weigong family?" ”

Otherwise, why take refuge in the field?

Xia Chuanyu snorted: "If my father wanted to carry forward the Weigong family back then, he would not be called a magician killer." ”

Emiya Kiritsugu doesn't care about the glory and prestige of his family, he only cares about whether he can use magic to achieve his goals.

The goal of Emiya Kiritsugu is to be called the partner of justice, and the goal of Natsukawa Fish is ......

The first thing is to let himself live in style, and the second is to find a way home, and if he finds it, it's best to wait if he can't find it, anyway, he believes that Uchiha Shinichi and the people in his hometown are more anxious than himself.

In the end, if you meet a friend you can talk to, you will get drunk, stick a knife in both ribs, and the rest ...... Nope.

Shizuji smiled, "I see. ”

Different people have different usages, and as the head of the demon slayer family, he knows this very well.

"Since you like it, go for it."
