The results of this newspaper are finally coming out, and Yayoi is anxiously waiting for Yoshida's notice.

Soon, Yoshida called.

"How?" Yayoi asked eagerly.

"Uh...... How to say it, the results are very good...... "Yoshida did not follow up for half a day.

Yoshida didn't say the answer, but Yayoi knew the result. He sighed and asked, "Is it the new wife first?" ”

When she saw her new wife's "KROW" on Monday, Yayoi gradually came to her senses. "Infinite Terror" in the foreshadowing, no matter how wonderful the painting is and how attractive the setting is, I am afraid that it will not be able to win such an interesting "CROW".

"Does the teacher know about it?" Yoshida continued with relief: "The new wife is the first, and you are the second......"

"Yacheng Mu Mengye is third, Fukuda is fourth, right?"

"Hmmm! How did Hattori-sensei know? Yoshida asked, stunned.

"The cartoons of the four of us are the funniest." Yayoi said plainly.

"And that's probably what I like and what my readers' data are. Sure enough, the new wife is very strong! I was too naïve to try to suppress him just by painting. ”

Yoshida cautiously relieved: "This has nothing to do with the teacher, it's just that the words of the new wife teacher are too interesting!" If it were any other time, the teacher would have been number one. ”

"Yoshida-san, you don't have to comfort me so much."

Yayoi said amusedly, "I won't be hit." That's a good thing for me. ”

"After the serialization of "Infinite Horror", he became the most popular cartoonist by default. After that, he won the first place in a row. Although I didn't show it, it all made me arrogant inside. I underestimated the cartoonists on the jump too much. ”

Listening to Yayoi's unexpected words, Yoshida was very happy, but in the face of such an excellent Yayoi, he could only praise weakly: "It's really worthy of Hattori-sensei..."

Really, I don't have any pride in being an editor.

……

After hanging up, Yayoi sat down in the chair with a blank face, losing to his new wife, his sadness, although he couldn't go against the current, but still made him unable to laugh.

Sitting silently, he remembered the plot of "CROW".

Faced with the enemy of fate, Crow did not speak, and rushed forward with a distorted face. The enemy's attitude towards him was the same, but at the same time, the two of them began to fight.

Although they are enemies, this is also the first time the two have met, and the fighting actions are unexpectedly synchronized. It's like a mirror in the middle, and one person is just an image of another.

The new wife has gradually constructed this scene since before the 20th chapter, whether it is crow or the enemy, they keep destroying each other's plans, and it is no longer a thorn in the eye that can be summed up.

And when it comes to the flashpoint of the plot, the new wife draws it so simply and straightforwardly. didn't ask each other why, didn't say a lot of helplessness, just one word - dry!

But unexpectedly interesting, unexpectedly hot-blooded! This is the battle between men.

Through the scene of the battle, the reader is intuitively told that the hatred of these two people is irreconcilable.

is the same as "Knight", but in one point, it is a lot worse.

Fukuda uses the dialogue between the protagonist and the younger brother to give the reader a sense that the protagonist is tenacious and the protagonist is dissatisfied with the villain.

In the past, it was no problem, but compared to crow, it is a little weak.

The intuitive contrast between Fukuda and his new wife gives the reader a feeling that Fukuda is not very interesting at this point, and Fukuda's entire plan is defeated at this point.

This is also the reason why Yacheng Mu Mengye is ranked higher than Fukuda.

"New wife Eiji, it's so funny!" Yayoi propped up her chin with her hands and stared at her eyes, as if she saw her new wife in her struggle.

"That's what makes it worth beating him!"

……

Yacheng Wood Dream Leaf Studio.

"Third place? Is it only the third place in such an interesting storyboard for Akito? The highest muttered.

"Or is it like Ishizawa said, my paintings are a drag on Akito."

"Nope."

Takagi said solemnly, "Whether it's the tallest painting or my storyboard, it's all very good. There is nothing to be fooled in. ”

"Then why ......"

"It's not that our comics aren't interesting, it's just that the first two are monsters! Hattori Teacher, who was already very good at drawing, has improved again. The new wife's "CROW", like us, has been laid out for a long time, and it also broke out heartily at this moment! There is not a word said in the whole article, from the storyboard to the style of the battle, it is all paved for this sentence. Losing to them is not something to be frustrated with. ”

Looking at Takagi, who analyzed carefully, the highest finally understood that the ranking on the jump was not so simple to get the first place.

When he was young, Yayoi had not yet appeared, and Nobuhiro Mashiro had told him that he had won the second place or the last place, but only the first place, and he never won it.

I want to be ranked first even if I dream of being in the first place!

"I underestimate the cartoonists on the jump!" The highest ignition of fighting spirit, he passionately said to Takagi: "Autumn people, to come up with the most interesting storyboard!" Now that we have failed, we have to work harder, and one day, we can surpass our new wife Eiji and Hattori Yayoi and become the number one! ”

"That's it! You'll be able to make more money that way! ”

“……”

"Haha!"

……

After Yacheng Mu Mengye, Fukuda finally knew his results.

"What! Uncle Ben is only the fourth! ”

His irascible voice scared his editor, Yujiro Hattori, enough to choke.

"You've been notified, goodbye." Yujiro quickly hung up.

"Damn!" Fukuda gasped.

"Obviously, I put all my energy into drawing the most proud comic scene, but I still ranked fourth! Why! ”

"That can only be said from the foundation, the teacher is not as good as the top three cartoonists." The assistant teased him as always.

"That's true!" The assistant's words woke him up, and he slammed down at his desk and took out the manuscript paper.

"Then you have to practice harder! Drawing too! Storyboards too! Be sure to make "Knight" more interesting! ”

It's good to win, but there's something good about losing. This is the best spur for those who are tenacious and refuse to admit defeat.

Presumably, "Knight" will get more and more interesting.
