Although it was a rainy day, the editorial office of "Weekly Shonen High" was as lively as ever.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator room, a large group of voices smashed towards Kyosuke Hojo.

The clicking sound of the fax machine sounded like the health was not very good, and it was a little stuttering. The bell of the old-fashioned landline, followed by a roar sounded, "I can't find anyone, what's the situation, if you can't knock on the door, call the police!" It seems that an author who repeatedly jumps sideways on deadlines is trying to drag the manuscript by playing dead. The crisp sound of the keyboard, the cooing of the coffee machine......

He is also a well-known figure in the comics industry now, especially in the editorial department of the base camp, so as he took a step, the office areas on both sides suddenly resounded with an endless stream of greetings, whether it was a clerk girl who was hurrying with a document or an editor who was about to release a cigarette case, they would immediately stand up and bow and say hello. And he had to stop again and again, smile and respond one by one. This process didn't end until he walked into the meeting room, and although Tetsuya Shimomura was the chief editor, he didn't have a separate office, and everyone worked together.

Fortunately, this will be the Heisei era, and when it was Showa, as soon as you walk into the editorial office, people who don't know will immediately call the fire alarm. Although there was a pile of paper, the editors sat at their desks and began to swallow the clouds, you smoke my second-hand smoke, I smoke your second-hand smoke, not to mention cancer, and I am not afraid of fire.

"That's Hojo-sensei, he's really young."

A man in a gray suit sitting on the side of his desk sighed that his eyes had not left the other party since Kyosuke Hojo walked out of the elevator, and he still looked nostalgically at the closed door of the meeting room.

"Yes, there are two popular works at such a young age, and it would be nice if it was the author I was responsible for."

At the desk, the editor with black-rimmed glasses also had a mixed tone.

"What is Hojo-sensei here for today? Could it be that "Attack on Titan" is finally going to be anime? Gray Suit asked.

"No, there seems to be some special reason for that work, otherwise it would have been animated. Mr. Hojo came to Shimomura's editorial chief today to discuss the new work. ”

"NEW!? Do you still have room to create new works!? The gray suit suddenly became excited.

"Yu Yu is such a thing...... Hojo-sensei is different from those authors who deliver their manuscripts like death, you haven't seen Hojo-sensei's speed...... Wait, you still have the leisure to care about other people's affairs?? ”

The editor was about to tell this rookie author about "Weekly Shonen High's Top 10 Incredible Golden Hand of Kyosuke Hojo", but suddenly reacted, now is not the time to talk about this.

"That's Hojo-sensei! Isn't it normal to get a little excited! It was after reading his story that I made up my mind to draw a manga! There's no reason why a middle school student can draw such a great comic, but I, a social person, am afraid of it. As Hojo-sensei said in an interview, as long as you have a dream, you will definitely succeed! ”

The gray suit said excitedly.

"I don't remember Hojo-sensei saying that, but as far as I know, he himself is quite pragmatic and would never say such irresponsible things. If you remember seeing something like this in a magazine, tell me and I'll tell Hojo-sensei that someone has ruined his image, and maybe he'll switch to me out of gratitude. ”

The editor shook his head, although he didn't have much contact, but Kyosuke Hojo himself was not a difficult person to contact, so everyone in the editorial department knew him well. Pragmatism is just an implicit statement, but in fact, Hojo-sensei is also a proponent of the theory of talent. Didn't you read what he said in an interview? Those works were created only because he heard voices from another world.

A godsend!

A thorough proponent of the theory of talent, it is only because I am too modest that I use this implicit statement. Translated as he didn't need to think hard at all, and the content of the manga appeared in his head by himself.

"How is that possible! Don't you know how quickly Hojo-sensei's drawing skills are improving! At first, he was a child doodling, and he had to rely on the artist Lily to complete "One Punch Man", but by the time of "Attack on Titan", he was able to paint independently, and this is what he did through hard work! ”

The gray suit retorted unconvinced, he couldn't forget the shock of seeing the egg-headed cockroach man, and he didn't expect Hojo-sensei to be like this at that time.

After creating a personal website,In addition to occasionally releasing some character drawings or four-panel comics as fan benefits,Hojo Kyosuke also relaxed the soul comics he created when his drawing skills were bad at the beginning.,Originally, I just wanted to shorten the distance with fans.,But I didn't expect the effect to be unexpectedly good.。 A large number of people worship him as the leader of hard work, and they think that this kind of soul painter can still stick to the comic dream and practice a superb painting skill, which is really inspiring.

"Then let me ask you, can ordinary people, no, people with good painting talents, make such great progress in such a short time?"

The editor pushed his glasses, and it was not like their editorial office had not discussed it. After all, there are still a lot of authors who need the cooperation of artists for their poor painting skills.,There are a lot of authors who think the plot and storyboard of the comics are very good after the editor receives the submission.,But it's the painting that is miserable, so I help coordinate.。 Since then, there have been many artists who have made progress in painting techniques, but there is no such exaggeration as Kyosuke Hojo.

It was like a different person!

"But......" The gray suit was still unconvinced, and wanted to justify.

"So! In order to! Say! Do you know what is the most important thing for you right now? Hojo-sensei has more than enough to open the third manga.,And you,Even the serialization opportunity that you won so hard is going to be lost! Be serious! has been at the bottom of the voting twice in a row, and is about to reach the halving standard! Your dreams are about to turn into bubbles and explode! ”

The editor slapped the table and roared.

"How can there be a bottom, there is no ...... below" The gray suit's voice gradually deepened, falling into self-autism.

"At the moment, readers' opinions are mainly focused on ......"

The editor took a sip of water, took out a piece of paper, and began to discuss it with his own author. This is also a big role of editors, paying attention to readers' feedback in a timely manner to help authors not go down the wrong path. In particular, the "Weekly Shonen High", which pursues the supremacy of questionnaire surveys, is extremely important in a timely manner. It doesn't matter how wonderful the content is behind you, as long as you can't win the favor of readers in the early stage, you will be killed.

Kyosuke Hojo walked into the meeting room and saw his own editor, Tetsuya Shimomura, sitting on the sofa, frowning at a pile of materials.

Shimomura's editor's hair seems to be less......

Thinking so, he walked over and sat directly opposite Tetsuya Shimomura. He smiled and was about to say a few words of greeting, when he saw Tetsuya Shimomura slam his brain on the mahogany coffee table, the sound was very dull, and it was good wood when he heard it.

"Private Marseille! Red bean puree private Marseille! Because my mistake caused so much trouble to Hojo-sensei! I'm really sorry! ”

Tetsuya Shimomura shouted in a deep voice, the sound was very loud, even if the meeting room itself had a certain soundproof design, it would definitely not be able to isolate the transmission, which means that the editors and authors outside must have heard the editor's deep apology. And even after he finished apologizing, he still held the coffee table with both hands and did not raise his head.

The smile on Kyosuke Hojo's face also retracted, and his expression was slightly solemn.

He naturally knew why the other party was apologizing, and it was because of the investigation done by Tetsuya Shimomura that the content of his new work was exposed in advance, which caused the two social judges of the Reasoning Writers Association to jump out and make a moth. The impact of this series of things on oneself, including but not limited to: being worried by this stupid guy on the way home happily with Ying Riri, being forced to make up for the magic by Kasumigaoka Shiyu after returning home, and being encouraged by the cheers of the glass after getting up.

And what he paid in order to solve this trouble was to create another excellent murderous trick that copied three reasoning and sent his own murderous brother.

Don't look at what he says it is simple, but it's actually really hard! When I was writing, I was squeezed in the middle of the incompatible Kasumi Hill and Ying Liri.,While enduring the harassment of Shiyu Senpai, I also have to deal with Ying Lili's sudden nervousness.。 Although Yukino had been watching all this tenderly with tolerant and doting eyes, Kyosuke Hojo's old face couldn't help but be a little ashamed.

In short, it can be said that because of this incident, Hojo Kyosuke's house was almost restless, what a damn!

Neither of them spoke, and the meeting room fell silent for a while.

Sure enough, for making such a serious mistake, Hojo-sensei couldn't have forgiven me.

Tetsuya Shimomura closed his eyes tightly, feeling the cold lacquer surface of the coffee table. He knows how important an award can be for a writer and how much benefit it can bring to a writer.

Damn it, don't let him know who's doing it, or he'll kill that person!

For now, I can only sincerely apologize first, and then try my best to make amends.

He has already decided that even if he exerts his old face and exhausts all the favors he has accumulated over the years, he will help Kyosuke Hojo save those two votes.

Kyosuke Hojo looked at the editor Shimomura who pressed his head deeply on the coffee table, and he only felt very embarrassed.

He solves the trouble easily, and he does it easily, and even the whole process is accompanied by beautiful girls and is full of fragrance, but that's because of his own strength. It was not easy for ordinary people to get on the line with the two judges and see the hope of winning the award, but because of a mistake by others, the hope of winning the award was dashed, and I am afraid that I have the heart to kill. Well, it's like the writer K in his new book. If that guy comes, the first person to kill is not the judges, it must be Tetsuya Shimomura, who is sitting under the soil, so he uses the coffee table as a chopping board and chops off the other party's dog's head.

But then again, it's no wonder that Tetsuya Shimomura is doing everything, everything he does is in accordance with the regulations, whether it is the starting point or what he does afterwards, it is for the good of Kyosuke Hojo. It's not that it's for the good of xx, but I really want to make sure that Kyosuke Hojo's new manga can become a hit. Things will turn out like this, but someone is using the topic to play, and Tetsuya Shimomura also belongs to the yellow mud crotch, pure back pot.

The two used to get along very happily, and the editor Shimomura can not only be regarded as his leader, but also helped him a lot. Strive for a good section, strive for a cover color page, and strive for animation...... Not to mention these, even the fact that he wanted to keep the animation copyright of the comic in his hands helped him coordinate successfully, and when he founded "Carbonic Carbon", he also helped him introduce many related people (down-and-out cartoonists).

Considering this, Kyosuke Hojo didn't have the idea of blaming the other party in his heart, but he couldn't easily forgive. After all, if it weren't for the fact that he had a system...... If it weren't for his serious and diligent efforts, the award he received might have been lost because of the mistakes of Shimomura's editors. At least this favor is to be remembered by the other party, and only in this way will the relationship network become more and more stable.

After thinking about it, Kyosuke Hojo adjusted his expression and said in a deep voice:

"Please keep your head up, Shimomura editor!"

"Hojo-sensei's ......"

Tetsu Shimomura, who is well versed in the culture of apology, didn't perform anything, if you don't forgive me, I'll kneel here, it was persecution instead of apologizing, but obediently raised his head, but his body was still lying on his back.

"Are you doing something to get me in trouble?" Kyosuke Hojo asked.

"How is that possible!!"

Tetsuya Shimomura's eyes widened violently, looking at Kyosuke Hojo's expressionless face, he knew why a gentle and jade-like Kyosuke Hojo would be the most violent ghost in Tokyo in the mouth of his son, this person was really scary when he got angry, he hurriedly explained:

"I'm definitely the person in the world who wants to see Hojo-sensei's manga succeed!"

His prize money and his future are all counting on Kyosuke Hojo! Even his son was sent to Kyosuke Hojo as a little brother in the bag, he only hated that he was not a daughter, otherwise he would definitely follow Kyosuke Hojo every day to serve him meticulously.

"Then why apologize, editors and cartoonists are a community, and making comics better is our common goal. Whether it is success or failure, it should be shared. ”

The coldness on Kyosuke Hojo's face faded, and his tone became much gentler.

"If I really want to say it, I have a part of the responsibility that things have developed so far, if I had actively communicated with you from the beginning......"

He took out the posture of being a spiritual mentor in Itomori, and if he wanted to make others feel guilty, the best way was not to keep emphasizing the mistakes of the other party, but to take the fault on him in turn and excuse the other party reasonably. Of course, this is only done by the decent person. However, if the opponent is a scumbag, there is no need to waste energy and directly kill the ball.

Listening to those gentle words, Tetsuya Shimomura nodded subconsciously, yes, everything he does is for the good of Kyosuke Hojo, the manga artist and the editor are one, and the first person to be held accountable if something happens is even his own editor. If it weren't for the fact that Kyosuke Hojo usually cares about playing with girls, and it is more difficult to find him than to go to the moon, how could it have developed to this point......

Smack——!

Thinking of this, Tetsuya Shimomura directly raised his hand and slapped himself.

Shameless, Hojo-sensei was comforting himself, how could you take it seriously!

It's been such an old life for nothing, Tetsuya Shimomura! Your son will be ashamed of your shameless thoughts!
