"I'm hungry, Miyata, go buy something to eat!"

"Yes! Wait! ”

Koji Miyata was wearing clogs and a thick cotton coat, and he didn't even bother to wipe the ink off his hands, so he hurried from Osamu Tezuka's mansion to the convenience store. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Life was cruel to Koji Miyata, annoyed his boss, angrily threw down his job and switched to his dream, but he couldn't grab a single serial opportunity.

Fate favored Koji Miyata, and when he hesitated, he was valued by Osamu Tezuka, who he met by chance, and became his manga assistant.

Over 30 years old, he doesn't have much savings, and he has to be called around like a newcomer, but Koji Miyata cherishes this hard-won opportunity. Although Osamu Tezuka is a bad guy, there are many masters among his disciples!

In a reply to his mother in the countryside, Koji Miyata wrote, "Maybe one day, I can stand on the same height as them and look at the same scenery." ”

With a beautiful vision for the future, no amount of ordeal can sustain it.

I hurriedly took a few lunches and was about to settle the bill, but I found that the newsstand at the door began to load new issues.

"I wonder who is the work of the magazine that I could have gotten on Shonen Sunday?"

He shook his head, no matter what happened to him, it didn't matter to him anymore. He was just about to leave when he noticed a new issue in the corner of the newsstand.

"Shonen Jump? Hey, this cover looks familiar......"

The cover is similar to the novel version, but after using color printing, Reinhardt's thick blonde hair is really eye-catching, and it completely compares to Willy Yang on the side. Especially with the black starry sky on the cover, it forms a strong contrast.

For this novel that changed his fate, Miyata naturally will not forget. Because of the cover, I was attracted to pick out "The Legend of Yinying" from a bunch of advertisements; Because Yinying's brilliance made him unwilling, he would reprimand the minister in a gaffe and resign angrily; It is also because Suzuki has the right to adapt the comic book of this novel that he will lose a key serial position in the competition.

It all seemed like it happened yesterday.

By the time he reacted, the comic was already in his hand.

The clerk glanced at the magazine's pricing: "Okay, thank you for your patronage, it's 318 yen in total." ”

The price of the bento is 300 yen, which means that the price of "Shonen Jump" is 18 yen.

How cheap is it?

Come to think of it, such a thin booklet is worth the price of 18 yen. In this way, even Miyata, who is shy in pocket, can afford it.

At this time, two girls dressed as junior high school students came to the convenience store.

"Hey, that's the place, right?" The older girl at the head didn't even have time to catch her breath, and asked, holding her knees.

"Yes, I ran to the nearby bookstore, and there is only one volume left." The little girl tilted her head, flipped through the corner, and suddenly panicked, "Hey, I was still here just now, why is it gone, I obviously put the magazine under the other books......"

The tall girl got angry: "That's why I said I want to bring money with me!" Stupid apricot! Someone bought it! ”

Miyata thought about it and listened to their tone, it seemed that this "Shonen Jump" was selling well? Maybe it was someone else who bought the magazine on it, so it was his turn to pick up the only remaining volume.

At this moment, the little girl found the intense golden color through the transparent plastic bag, and immediately pointed at Miyata and shouted, "There has been!" Over here! ”

The tall girl seemed to see hope, her eyes lit up, she ran over, folded her hands and said, "Please!" Can this uncle give me this magazine? I'm out fifty, no, one hundred yen! It's important to me! ”

Koji Miyata was stunned, "But, it's very important to me!" It looks like my friend drew it! ”

The two girls screamed and merged into one tone, and Koji Miyata couldn't help but take a step back. After the girl called, she said expectantly: "Do you know Mr. Ailuo Wuyong?" ”

Love Luo Wuyong? Who's that? Is this strange pronunciation a person's name?

"Isn't the author Suzuki-kun?" He asked.

Hearing that they had recognized the wrong person, the faces of the two girls seemed to have been ravaged by the dentist, and they all collapsed. The little girl pouted and thought for a while: "Uncle, are you dressed like this, are you a cartoonist?" ”

"Well, so to speak." Miyata immediately straightened up, but he couldn't embarrass the manga artists. Although his dress is already very embarrassing.

The two girls were muttering to each other, not knowing what they were discussing, and then the tall girl came over with a flattering smile and said:

"Uncle, please, we still want this magazine, even if we have read it!" The tall girl shook his arm and said coquettishly, "If you don't have a copy of "Shonen Jump" at school, people will be bullied by their seniors!" Have pity on the poor people, uncle! ”

Koji Miyata had never eaten such a battle, and he was dizzy, and he didn't know how to agree. Even emptied the little stock in his stomach.

"Hey, uncle is amazing! It turned out to be Tezuka-sensei's assistant? ”

"Uncle! Do you really know Mr. Ai Luo Wuyong? Is the teacher's real name Suzuki? ”

"Wow, uncle, can you take us to meet Mr. Ai Luo Wuyong?"

By the time he reacted, he was already at the door of Tezuka's mansion. The two girls in the distance were still waving goodbye, and there was a note with the address and phone number in his pocket.

Young people are amazing nowadays...... Miyata thought so, ignoring that he was only in his early thirties.

He returned to the Tezuka Mansion, where the hall was filled with anxious editors waiting for their manuscripts, and the atmosphere was smoky and unpleasant. He hurried back to the office area, only to find his colleagues hiding in the hallway.

"Miyata, you're back. I'm going to starve to death, where have I gone! One person complained.

"Something happened...... What's going on inside? Why don't you go to work? The editors out there are getting impatient. ”

The man took out a bento from his bag, "Oh, it's Koike-senpai who came to see Tezuka-sensei, and it's talking inside." ”

Koike is Miyata's original apartment manager in Tokiwa-so, with curly hair and a noodle sucker.

Koike seems to be an ordinary middle-aged man, but in fact, he is a friend of Tezuka's peers. Back then, he was also a competitor with Tezuka, and the two cherished each other. almost became the ancient supreme god of the era of the birth of comics.

It's a pity that an accident injured his hand and he couldn't pick up a paintbrush anymore, so he turned to running an apartment and provided accommodation for manga newcomers at a low price with Tezuka's subsidy. From time to time, he pretends to be a sweeping monk to give guidance to newcomers. He also has a good temper, and he is not annoyed by being teased in comics drawn by various juniors, he just loves to joke.

Miyata secretly opened a crack in the paper door and looked inside.

"Well, this color is quite bold." Koike said proudly.

"Hmm...... Yes good. Osamu Tezuka sat across from him, frowning.

"And this body type, see it, normal proportions!"

"Damn, I wanted to draw like this, but he got the first shot." Tezuka's cheeks bulged out.

"And this storyboard, how smooth and natural," Koike laughed, "Didn't you just want to copy this storyboard that day?" As a result, someone grabbed the bag, and I almost squirted noodles into my nostrils when I saw it. Tezuka, after all these years, you've finally met your opponent! ”

Tezuka was annoyed and angry: "Bastard Koike! What the hell are you here for! ”

"Of course I'm here to make fun of you, who made you so jealous of this little guy that day." Koike didn't have the demeanor of his predecessors, and picked up the magazine with two fingers, "Do you want it?" If you get it a day earlier, you will be able to learn a new storyboard a day earlier, and you will never have to copy it yourself~"

"Hmph, I don't need it!" Tezuka's temper came up, and his neck stalked, "I can buy it myself!" ”

"It's late, I can't buy it around Tokyo now, and I still snatched this one from my little niece," Koike smiled as a chicken thief, "It's from Shueisha, you don't need me to say you know, right?" Shueisha is a down-and-out editor who has been sidelined to feed the magazine. Maybe it's going to be out of print! ”

Tezuka secretly hates, why is this guy so hateful!

Suddenly, he pointed behind Koike and shouted, "Look! There are UFOs! ”

Taking advantage of the gap between Koike's turn of his head, Tezuka jumped and grabbed "Shonen Jump", his agile body did not look like a forty-year-old man at all.

"Hey, you always come up with this trick, I won't be fooled again!" Xiao Chi had already prepared, and the whole person ran up, turned around and grimaced: "Do you want it?" Want it? If you don't give it to you, you just don't give it to you, laalalala~"

Miyata, who peeped in the gap of the paper door, was dumbfounded, I heard that manga artists are very naïve, but I didn't expect Tezuka-sensei to be so naïve! It's no different from a kindergarten child! It's just subverting the image of a great teacher in my mind!

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the bag in his hand.

He remembered, don't you have a copy of "Shonen Jump" here?

His heart was pounding, this was a great opportunity to please the teacher!

He took the magazine in his hand, took a deep breath, spotted the movements of the two people in the room, and opened the paper door:

"Tezuka-sensei! I got it! ……”

Osamu Tezuka maintains the posture of snatching Koike, while Koike stomps one foot on Tezuka's face. Disturbed by Miyata like this, the two were stunned for a moment, and Tezuka took the opportunity to fly towards Miyata, but was caught by Koike's scissor legs.

Miyata hurriedly squatted down, put the magazine in front of Tezuka and shouted, "Tezuka-sensei! You told me to buy Shonen Jump, and I bought it for you! ”

"Really?"

Osamu Tezuka was overjoyed, he didn't care about his image, picked up the magazine that was still covered with plastic, and when he saw the bright golden color, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh: "Hahaha, well done!" Koike, now that I have this magazine, you can't threaten me! ”

Xiao Chi slammed the ground in annoyance: "Damn! Obviously, I had already checked with a nearby newsstand before I came, so why are there any fish that have slipped through the net! ”

"This is the favor of God!"

Koike jumped to his feet angrily: "Tokiwa Zhuang is full of traitors!" Not happy! I'm going to raise my rent! Rent increase! ”

"Whatever you want, I'm proud of having a magazine anyway, and I'll pay them as much as it rises!"

Osamu Tezuka was very proud, and turned to Miyata and said, "Miyata, you did a good job." It just so happens that Ohno is going back to his hometown to get married, so you can be my chief assistant! ”

Koji Miyata waited for this opportunity, and was overjoyed: "Yes! I will definitely work hard to live up to your expectations! ”

Out of the room, the other assistants stepped forward and congratulated them sourly. In just a moment's effort, Koji Miyata climbed on top of them from the last newcomer to enter, and of course the sour breath was indispensable.

Koji Miyata, on the other hand, clenched his fists tightly. Mom from my hometown, I said that I would definitely become a famous cartoonist, and now, I have taken another step!
