Chapter 33: The Sky Star Signing and the Introduction of Senior Brother

The Mon Lan Bon festival in mid-August is second only to the New Year in importance to the neon people. Different from the Zhongyuan Festival in China, the prototype of this festival at the same time, after more than 1,000 years of development, it has gradually evolved into a festival with neon characteristics.

The Menglan Bon Festival is a day for neon people to return to their hometowns to worship their ancestors and reunite with their families, and a festival will be held, which is equivalent to the combination of the Chinese Qingming Festival and the Spring Festival. Because there is a long holiday, the summer exhibition is also held during the holiday period.

Not only the summer fair, but other two-dimensional events, such as the famous Tokyo Game Show, are also held during the Mbon holiday to attract more people.

But for the majority of fans of Sky Stars, this summer exhibition is completely different from previous summer exhibitions. The god of the sky star is going to hold a new book signing party for a long time! And, moreover, he will show everyone his true face of Lushan!!

Daihatsu! Daihatsu! Finally, we can know what the great god of the sky looks like when he painted masterpieces like "Samurai Windward" and "Infinite Terror". Could it be a beautiful big European sister?

The atmosphere of the Bon festival is getting stronger and stronger. The holy war of the otaku came as scheduled.

The Summer Comic Con lasts for three days. The comics of Sky Star are all general comics, and the time is scheduled on the first day. The Comic Con is held at one of Tokyo's famous international exhibition centers.

On the first night of the comic exhibition, a large number of houses gathered on the road outside the exhibition center. They are there to snap up limited edition items, opting for fanatics who queue up all night.

Xia Cicada is also so hot that she chooses to choose a silent night, otaku and otaku sit on the ground, shaking fans, chatting in groups, and sharing their shopping lists for tomorrow with each other with great anticipation.

Judy and Pepe are also inconspicuous members of the army of otaku girls.

The two of them are Chinese students, their hometowns are both in Shanghai, and they have participated in three comic conventions in Neon this time.

This time, I queued up all night so that I could be the first to get the comic book "The Birth of Colonel Chu Xuan" that was sold in limited quantities by Baiquan Club tomorrow. The two of them were attracted to the first time they saw the "Infinite Terror" of the Sky Star Teacher, and when the comic came to the twentieth chapter, Colonel Chu Xuan appeared, and said coldly: "The wisdom of mortals." "I was instantly fanned. Three no abstinence, a cold man or something, is the best. On the other hand, they are also curious about Sora-sensei himself. Since his debut, he has been wearing a gorilla puppet costume, and no one has ever seen his true face. And the previous "Samurai Windward" was normal, but the setting of the current masterpiece "Infinite Terror" is very broad, and it can be created from the first perspective of the reincarnation squad neon team, but unexpectedly the protagonists are all Chinese. This caused a great deal of controversy among readers, and was initially strongly resisted by some far-right activists. But after all, the quality of the comics is excellent, and the plot has ups and downs, which has not affected the popularity of the comics among the readers. Especially in Huaxia, it has almost created a wave of sales of Japanese manga close to classic Japanese manga like "Doraemon". Still, one can't help but wonder about the nationality of Sky Star.

There are many others who have the same questions as Judy and Pepe, but none of them matter anymore, because tomorrow the answers will be revealed.

This time, many of Shonen P's works will also participate in the doujin exhibition, and a variety of limited-edition merchandise will be sold. There were even well-known cartoonists who were present in person.

On the first day of the Comic Con, Judy and Pepe followed the crowd to the west side of the show. The Sky Stars exhibit is located in the best location in the West End. In addition to the neatly stacked single book of the latest issue of "Infinite Terror", there are many figures of different shapes, fans, bags, cultural shirts and other peripherals. The staff wore futuristic synthetic combat uniforms (coser costumes). Of course, the most eye-catching are the two guys who are also wearing combat uniforms and gorilla hoods. It should be that Mr. Sky Star is not wrong. Wait, why two?!

Because he said that he wanted to reveal his true face of Lushan, before the signing began, dedicated media friends rushed to surround him. Because the thing the reporter wanted to ask happened to be what everyone wanted to know, everyone didn't make any other moves, just quietly watched, waiting to see the true face of the teacher of the sky star.

"Ah, hello Mr. Sora. I'm Tsukikawa Okasaka, a reporter for the Asahi Shimbun. May I ask which of you is the Sky Star Teacher? โ€

As soon as he finished speaking, the two "gorillas" raised their hands together.

"Huh? Both? โ€

"Whew. And Fujiko ยท Like Soo and Hiroshi Fujimoto, the grandsons of F. Fujio, the two of us share the pen name Sky Star. One of the "gorillas" replied.

"I see." ร—n

"Teacher Sky Star is actually two people."

"Hello teacher. I'm Konosuke Matsushita of Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine. You recently posted a promise to reveal your true identity, is it true? โ€

"Whew. That is true. But I'm the only one ready to show my face. My partner", or the "gorilla" replied, and the other gorilla bowed down in a fancy gentlemanly salute, with a big gorilla hood looking particularly joyful, "I have a very sensitive identity in the professional Go world." He is a member of the industry's recognized 'high art', and it is not easy to reveal his identity as a cartoonist. โ€

"That's right."

"Dafa, a national player of Go. Guess who? โ€

"Ryo Taya? Or Sogata Seiji Kudan? Or the wasteland......"

"Ah, it's inconvenient for the teacher to make it public, so don't guess."

"So, this teacher of the sky, can you take off your hood?" A journalist.

"Absolutely." The "gorilla" reached out and took off his hood, and continued to say coldly, "Look at the wisdom of mortals. I'm your Kogoro Sekiya. โ€

"Ah, Colonel Chu Xuan!"

"What? You're thinking too much. It's just a middle-aged handsome uncle. โ€

I saw that the person under the hood had a handsome face, a high nose bridge, distinct eyebrows, a wide face and thin lips, the overall lines were very tough, and he wore a pair of silver sci-fi glasses. Although he looks a little handsome, it can be seen from the vicissitudes of his eyes that this handsome guy is no longer young, and he can be regarded as a lightly mature man in his thirties and less than forty. The reason why some people mistook him for Senior Colonel Chu Xuan, in addition to his pretended serious expression and ridiculous lines, was mainly because he was too white, just like he had never been in the sun.

"Isn't this Kogoro Sekiya? Isn't he dead? "I can only say that Japan is still too young to meet acquaintances.

Uncle Kogoro, who was reborn, pretended to be inadvertently holding his glasses, and the glasses emitted a faint burst of light. (Hypnotic glasses)

A person next to him said to his companion who had just spoken, "Did you drink too much yesterday and didn't wake up?" Kogoro Sekiya only attended our high school reunion last month. โ€

"Ah, yes, yes, I remember."

Using the resurrection technique of the righteous remains, Anna's eldest sister's head, Sekiya perfectly resurrected Uncle Kogoro, although this will lose the super kill of the Kun Knife, but it is nothing for Sekiya, who is determined to live a peaceful life. The most important thing is to be able to reunite Uncle Kogoro, Ms. Miyako, and the family of Myonne Sekiya (Sekiya tori) in her belly. Then he entrusted Brother Koyamada to hack into the government website to modify the death information of Uncle Kogoro, and then borrowed hypnotic glasses to modify the memories and paper documents of a series of related personnel, and Uncle Kogoro returned to the world from both material and legal levels perfectly. Ms. Miyako forgot about the death of Uncle Kogoro, and in her impression the two of them were a couple who had already gotten on the bus and were about to make up the ticket, and Fengzi got married. Fujiwara Kogoro, played by Sekiya, is still the illegitimate son of Kogoro's uncle. Everything was handled perfectly. However, occasionally I will meet ordinary friends who have just known about the death of Uncle Kogoro and accidentally missed the memory that has not been modified, but I am not familiar with it, but fortunately, there are hypnotic glasses, and this kind of problem is generally easy to solve.

The episode was not noticed by everyone, and the reporter continued to ask: "We can see that Mr. Sekiya Kogoro is an authentic neon man." But why should your comics feature Chinese people? Is there any meaning to this? โ€

"Here's the thing. My partner and I have always dreamed of being the best cartoonists. But the last thing neon lacks is cartoonists. The domestic comic market is close to saturation. We have a deep understanding of this from our own work "Samurai Windward". That's why there is "Infinite Terror". We believe that the future market of neon animation is in China, which is also the consensus of many teachers in the industry. So we want more ......."

Sekiya Kogoro's series of future plans for the neon animation industry and the Chinese animation market are a big cake that has not yet been cut, and the theory of untapped virgin land has resonated with many depressed Japanese manga artists, who have decided to go to Huaxia and draw manga in Huaxia. It's like pirates embarking on a great voyage in search of One Piece. Of course, that's all for later.

Kogoro Sekiya's arguments are liked by some people, and some people hate them. A tabloid reporter also made a negative report that Kogoro Sekiya was a neon traitor. However, this will not affect the continuation of the signing.

After the interview, it was a day like many other book signings. Uncle Kogoro, who didn't wear a hood, and Sekiya, who wore a hood, signed autographs for fans together, and from time to time they had to draw some signature drawings at the request of readers. Although one is a righteous corpse and the other is a psychic, both of them have reached the point of being on the verge of breaking their hands at the end of the day. The staff who participated together were also very hard, and at the end of the day, they were all tired and Wang was no different.

Uncle Kogoro generously said that he wanted to invite all the staff to go to the high-end restaurant to eat kaiseki Japanese food, and by the way, he gave the bonus of the part-time worker in advance. It has been unanimously supported by everyone. With a hood, Guan Gu Magic, who was inconvenient to show his face, chose to go home first, to have a good rest, and at night Zuo Wei had to play Go on the Internet.

Leave aside the switch valley and not mention. Uncle Kogoro and his entourage came to the private room of a certain high-end restaurant. After ordering the food, Uncle Kogoro began to pay the wages in advance for temporary workers such as Kanban Niang. Unification is a stack of yen wrapped in an envelope, although it can't be said to be bulging, but from the market point of view, it is really not light.

The first few people all happily followed. Until Kogoro sent a handsome guy with big eyes and glasses with slightly dark skin. He can see that today's day, this young man's work enthusiasm and work attitude are the best, and his ability is also remarkable. So the envelope for this young man, Uncle Kogoro was extra thick. But this young man didn't accept it, but bowed deeply, and couldn't stand it for a long time: "Teacher Sekiya Kogoro." I am a ...... from Shanghai, China, and an international student at the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Tokyo, Japan. I want to learn manga from you, so please take me as an apprentice. "Oh, there is no pause at the critical moment.

Looking at the young man who couldn't bow for a long time, Kogoro Sekiya seemed to think of his past self. The corners of his mouth pulled up a mysterious smile: "Your name is ...... Ah, good name. I ......"

Tang Sanzang repeatedly excused himself, and finally received the vulgar plots such as the good apprentice Sun Wukong, we won't talk about it, just say that since then, "Fujiwara Kogoro" has an older nephew than himself, and soon after, Guan Gu who also worshiped under Guan Gu Kogoro's door has a magical one more senior brother, and his name is - Du Jun.

The wheel of fate may occasionally be lifted, but it can never be derailed. In the dark, there seems to be a predetermined......
