I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 49 How can I meet him?
"Huh? Why don't you want to see him? Don't you just want to participate in the comic competition with him and have fun?"

Masako Hane turned her head and asked Shion Hane curiously.

She knew her sister very well. Although she was not the type to interact with others frequently, she was not unwilling to interact with others in her heart.

On the contrary, she has always been looking forward to having a good chat with like-minded partners.

What's more, this person is her idol whom she has always admired.

That's really not her style.

Feeling her sister's gaze, Hanase Shion said with a cold sweat, "I think we should wait until after the grand prizes to discuss this matter. Isn't he also a contestant?"

Of course, she wished she could meet Haruki Nagayama right now and have a good chat with him about comics.

Of course, that's assuming she never sent her that kind of private message.

How should I talk to him using the name "Akira Yumi"?
Talk about how you're going to rape him?
Let's not talk about how he would see her, what if the editor, Shueisha, and even everyone in the industry knew about the content of her private messages?
She would probably want to jump off the Rainbow Bridge over Tokyo Bay and end her life.

Although I don’t know, what should I do when we meet next time?
But at the moment, faced with this proposal, Hane Shion decided to delay it as long as possible.

Believe in your future wisdom and you will definitely be able to come up with a solution in the future.

"Oh, I understand what you mean!" Shinkawa Aimei nodded after hearing this, and suddenly sighed, "What youth! I'm so excited."

"Huh?" The Hanase sisters looked at Shinkawa Ai, who had suddenly become passionate, with a puzzled look on their faces.

"Although you admire Haruki Nagayama very much, you have actually always regarded him as your opponent and target!" said Ai Mi Shinkawa.

"And Haruki Nagayama said he doesn't want to show himself to outsiders, so you don't want to meet him as a semi-expert. Instead, you want to officially debut and then meet him as a manga artist!"

Shinkawa Aimi expressed her understanding.

Hanase Shion stared with a puzzled look on her face, but immediately nodded and agreed with Shinkawa Aimi's reasoning. "No, that's right, I just want to wait until after my official debut!"

"Ah! This kind of story, where you clearly yearn for and admire someone, yet you unwillingly want to secretly compete with them and strive to catch up with them, has a lot of Jump vibes! It's a kind of young man's romance!"

After receiving a positive response from Hane Shion, Shinkawa Ai once again lamented that the pace of the story was too jumpy.

"So, before I officially debut, I still want you not to tell him anything about me."

Hanase Shion took advantage of the situation to ask Shinkawa Ai for help.

"Okay, I get it. Keep going! Even though your opponent is strong, don't give up easily! I'm looking forward to you personally introducing yourself to him as a cartoonist at the Jump annual meeting."

Aimi Shinkawa gave a thumbs up to Shion Hanase.

"Well, there will be a day like that, probably."

Hane Shion finally breathed a sigh of relief, having temporarily escaped the storm.

Just listening to Shinkawa Ai's enthusiastic praise of her Jump-style passionate youth, Hanase Shion still lowered her head with a guilty conscience.

The reason why she didn't dare to meet him now had nothing to do with Jump.

Those things are absolutely impossible to appear in Shonen Jump
"Then, let's do one last check and adjustment before officially submitting the manuscript. By the way, Ms. Masako can also offer some suggestions. Although we are not strictly in the same industry, I have heard of yours as well."

Ai Shinkawa took out her laptop and started talking about business.

"Well, yes."

Masako Hanase nodded, then turned her head to the side and looked at her sister with half-closed eyes.

I always feel that things are not that simple.
Inside Sakurai and Sato's house.

"I'm so free today. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Sato Wakaba was standing in front of the fish tank, throwing bait to feed the two pufferfish named Sakura and Xiaozu.

Because the manuscript for "Goodbye Eri." has been submitted, and the club project is almost done, there is nothing she can help with.

Now the only thing left in the project is the daily serialization of "Flame Fist".

Sakurai Itsuki's painting speed was astonishing, and now with the help of an assistant, this made the evening suddenly free.

"It's not good to be idle. Are you a scab who can't be comfortable unless you're exploited?"

Sakurai Itsuki, who was washing dishes in the kitchen at the moment, complained.

After Sato Wakaba took charge of the daily cooking, washing dishes became a regular task for Sakurai Itsuki.

"Hey, people are really strange. When they are busy, they want to take some time off, but when they are suddenly free, they think it is better to be busy."

Sato Wakaba sighed.

"Don't you have any plans for the next one? I feel like it's such a waste for someone like you to only serialize one work!"

Although she may be a black fan, Sato Wakaba is still a fan after all, and fans naturally hope that Sakurai Itsuki will update as much as possible.

"Ah, that's true. I have a short story I'd like to try. I'll wait until the Grand Prize is over. The Gold Prize gives you the right to force yourself to start a series."

Sakurai Juto has already verified the feasibility of the assistant, so he naturally won't slow down.

"Hey, what style is it?" Sato Wakaba's eyes immediately lit up, and she turned her head and asked curiously.

Obviously, she had no doubt that Sakurai Itsuki would win the gold prize of this Newcomer Award.

"We'll talk about it later. It's no use telling you now."

"You're so stingy. It's no big deal if you say it. I won't serialize your idea." Sato Wakaba pouted and complained.

"I wish you had that ability."

"Come to think of it, it seems Shion also participated in that grand prize and even met with the editor today." Sato Wakaba said, "It would be great if she could debut as well. Wouldn't that mean I could be your two assistants?"

"Are you planning to rebel now?"

After washing the dishes, Sakurai Itsuki walked out of the kitchen and was about to hit Sato Wakaba on the head when he suddenly remembered something.

Shinkawa Aimei said today that she was meeting a new person.

Hiss. Could it be?
Wait, they are all wearing uniforms today, that guy won’t let anything slip, right?
Hane Shion sat alone in the room with mixed feelings.

She has completed the final submission, although her comic still has many shortcomings.

But time is running out, as the deadline for submissions and selection is approaching.

Therefore, in the end I just adjusted the lines and finally submitted the work.

Just like handing in an exam paper, once the paper is submitted, the rest of the work no longer belongs to her. She has already done her best.

The specific results can only be left to the selection committee.

Logically speaking, you should be happy after finishing a job.

But now, in addition to the nervousness and excitement, there were more distressing things lingering in her mind.

"Ah, what should I do? How are we going to meet?"

Hane Shion covered her head with her hands while looking at the private message chat box on the computer, her head aching.

Although she temporarily postponed the meeting between the two, she still couldn't think of a way to solve the problem.

Just when she didn't know what to do, a message on her cell phone suddenly flashed, interrupting Hanase Shion.

Hanase Shion picked up her cell phone.

The person who sent the message was an unexpected person.

That bastard Sakurai Itsuki.
