Oba Hazo's Time Traveling

"Being charismatic and endearing is something I've never done before."

"I'm just... just going with the flow."

"I like the way Jiejun is now." After visiting the art museum, Xia Youjie and Ye Zang found a foreign restaurant for dinner. Their trip to the art museum was the same as before. Xia Youjie was silent, only responding to Ye Zang with a smile from time to time , while A Ye whispered the relevant knowledge, purely as a science popularization for Xia Youjie.

This first date after coming to Tokyo was neither interesting nor boring.

The art museum is located in a downtown area. The construction of science, education, culture and health in Tokyo has always been good. The government is willing to invest in the construction of art facilities in an area where every inch of land is expensive. Because of the good location and many restaurants nearby, they found this western food restaurant on the Internet The evaluation was quite high. A Ye and Xia Youjie ordered the signature lasagna and steak, and also ordered non-alcoholic drinks.

That sentence, "I like the way Jiejun is now" was said after A Ye took two sips of oolong tea. His teeth were white and neat, but he was dishonest when drinking drinks. He must leave a clear mark on the plastic straw. Tooth marks.

This action is a bit tempting. Ordinary girls are afraid that they will be so fascinated that they can't speak, but Xia Youjie is used to it. He only asks: "What is it like now? What is it like?"

A few strands of hair playfully jumped out of his ball head.

From the outside, Xia Youjie has never been a well-behaved student. He had his ears pierced prematurely, and his hair grew long. Private schools have stricter discipline than public schools, but he is an exception.

After all, the teacher always favors the students with good grades, and the classmates, Xia Youjie's classmates have a very good relationship. Looking at the whole school, it is rare to find someone who doesn't like him.

Such Xia Youjie would choose to have his ears pierced and grow long hair in the first year of junior high school. It was strange at first. The boy made contact, and still fell in love with a middle school girl.

Ye Zang said neither.

"so……"

Mrs. Xia You said worriedly: "What happened to Jie? Is it the rebellious period of youth?"

She spoke in a very low voice, and should not have been caught by Ye Zang, but the five senses blessed by the mantra were extremely sensitive, so he heard it.

Ye Zang didn't speak, just pretended he didn't hear anything, and Mrs. Xia You didn't bother, bowed slightly and left.

As I said before, Xia Youjie came from the most orthodox Japanese family, and his father was assigned to Aomori because of his job transfer. Because he did well in the local bank, his position was quite stable.

My mother was a college student from a prestigious girls' school. After working as a full-time employee for a year, she quickly retired from the company and became a housewife.She is not the kind of housewife who only does housework. Mrs. Xia You is proficient in various skills such as needlework, cooking, flower arrangement, etc., and is even more proficient in socializing as a wife.

Before Mr. Xia You was demoted, she was the confidant of the president's wife. When she came to Aomori, Mr. Xia You was promoted and demoted to become the president, so she often walked around with the wives of other bank employees.

All in all, she is an excellent wife.

This Mrs. Xia You is somewhat of a perfectionist. She takes care of everything she sees with the naked eye, including her family and her husband's career... Xia Youjie is of course her object of cooking, and it can even be said that she is her favorite. A perfect work, she has tutored Xia Youjie since he was a child, applied to prestigious schools, and even helped him choose friends, and Xia Youjie also followed her wishes and grew into a nearly flawless teenager.

That's why Mrs. Xia You was so nervous when she found out that he had pierced his ears behind his back.

’ It’s like a dissonant note in a perfect movement. '

Mrs. Xia You quickly accepted this point, she used her youthful rebellious period to convince herself, not to mention Xia Youjie was still flawless except for hair growth and ear piercing, she thought she could pamper the other party's little willfulness.

'No child is perfect. ' She thought so.

In the following year, Xia Youjie was still outstanding. Girls admired him and boys worshiped him. He was excellent in grades, versatile in sports, and good-looking. His closest friend was the youngest son of the Tsushima family. I heard that he was very favored. , I want to become an artist in the future, and my brothers and sisters have all entered the parliament. In the future, no matter whether Jie becomes a doctor and lawyer, or enters the banking and political circles, it will be helpful.

Mrs. Xia You thinks that Ye Zang is a very good friend.

Before coming to Tokyo, Xia Youjie's life was almost flawless.

Xia Youjie asked Ye Zang, "Am I any different from before?"

Their meals haven't been served yet, and one of them is holding a glass of drink, Aye said in a brisk tone: "There are many differences."

"Where should I start?" He fiddled with the suction pipe, "Jiejun's words have always been depressing."

He showed a perplexed expression just right: "For me, I don't really know what Jiejun is thinking, but how to put it, sometimes I feel that Jiejun's attitude towards the people around him is like holding porcelain carefully."

Xia Youjie was dumbfounded.

"Is that so?" he said. "So it is."

Ye Zang said: "Recently, things have improved a lot. Since arriving in Tokyo, Jiejun's whole body has come alive, and today is the same." He said, "Should I have made a good friend?"

Xia Youjie said: "That's right," he subconsciously paused, "It's a very hit-and-run object." After thinking about it, he always felt that it was not good to say that to Ye Zang, after all, they had the best relationship when they were in Tsugaru Saying that to him now is like denying the friendship between the two and denying Ye Zang's position in his heart.

But Ye Zang thoughtfully showed a relieved expression and said, "That's really great."

"I know that Jiejun has been taking care of me all the time, and he still is now." He blinked his eyes and said, "Don't look at me like this, you can feel it. If other people are porcelain, then I can be counted as a precious one One kind."

"But human beings force themselves to get along with porcelain, isn't it sad? Holding it in the palm of your hand is worried that it will be broken. The experience of making friends sounds very bad." He said briskly, "Instead of making it difficult for yourself to protect and take care of others, you should follow yourself. It's better if the same people are together, Jiejun can relax, and it won't affect us occasionally going out together."

He twirled the straw: "Isn't it more pleasant this way?"

That's right...

Xia Youjie was speechless again.

Although he was right, he always felt that there was something wrong with Ye Zang, especially after hearing the other party's frank words, he felt his tenderness and consideration, and he also knew that he might be troubled by the curse spirit.

I feel even more sorry for him.

After all, he is the kind of person with a strong sense of responsibility. For him, it is the right way to protect ordinary people who are weaker than himself, and Ye Zang, he seems to need protection more than ordinary people. The ability of a conjurer to exorcise more curses, but to give up Ye Zang who will be constantly harassed by the curse spirit, isn't this a betrayal of Ye Zang?

The above thoughts kept lingering in Xia Youjie's mind.

He finally said, "You've been a lot more relaxed lately."

He chose to reopen a topic: "Compared to when he was in school, his complexion is much better."

A Ye is as good as others: "Maybe it's because my recent life is more suitable for me." He scratched his cheek embarrassedly, "According to universal values, my behavior of living in other people's homes is not right. You must be a pretty boy, but..."

"Yuriko makes me feel very at ease, and it's the same to be able to paint quietly." He said, "I'm ashamed to say, I like this kind of life very much, maybe I'm a third-rate person."

"No." Xia Youjie denied it.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

What's weird is that when Xia Youjie was with Gojo Wu, he laughed and cursed, and there was nothing he couldn't say. When he was dissatisfied, the two went out to fight. It can be taken for granted that the other second-level conjurers are weak He didn't worry that the other party would be poked and hurt, but when he was with Ye Zang, his whole body was tied up, and he had to think twice before speaking, whether he could say it or not, and whether it would hurt the other party.

This is the attitude towards porcelain, he thought in a daze, what Xiu Zhi said was not wrong at all.

"Jie Jun."

Ye Zang, who was sitting opposite him, showed a fairy-like smile.

"Since you have made a decision, let yourself be happy."

He said so.

……

"Hello."

Fumichi Tsushima said politely, "What's the matter?"

He asked the servant to serve tea to Mrs. Xia You.

Mrs. Xia You is dressed in a formal dress that is not too much, which matches her identity as "the mother of the youngest friend". The identity of "Mrs. Bank" is very well managed, and I can't fault it at all.

Therefore, he couldn't think of any reason why the other party could come to visit. Could it be that he was asking for something?It's not impossible, but they don't owe the Xia You family any favors, do they?Even if there is any problem, it should be asked by Xiuzhi.

Just as he was thinking about it, Mrs. Xia You said with a pale face, "Excuse me, have you heard about Jiejun's whereabouts?" She added, "He said he left for Tokyo, but I visited all over the place. I don’t know whose house he lives in, but I heard that Shuji-kun is also in Tokyo, so I wonder if he will bother you at Tsushima’s house..."

Wenzhi listened to a long conversation before he understood Mrs. Xia You's meaning. He was taken aback at that moment: not only Xiuzhi from their family co-authored, but even Xia Youjie ran away from home? !

His first reaction was, these two bastards won't mix together, right?Then he thought again: No way, Xia Youjie should live in a high school, didn't he mean he was going to be a magician?

Wen Zhi said: "I'm not sure, that kid Xiu Zhi recently lived in the studio of a teacher of the Utagawa school and studied painting with great concentration. He should have never met Jie Jun. How about it? I'll ask you later Ask, and let me know if I have any news."

Mrs. Xia You's complexion didn't get any worse, she exchanged pleasantries with Wen Zhi for a while, and left gracefully.

As soon as he closed the door, Wenzhi's expression changed, and he made several phone calls, the first of which was to Yingzi.

Yingzi was in the small foreign building next door, and asked him indifferently, "What are you doing?" Wenzhi said in a hurry, "Help me find out about the situation of the college."

"Xia Youjie is in a high school, right?"

Yingzi said, "Why don't you ask yourself."

Wen Zhi showed a disgusted face.

His dislike for the magic world is written on his face. Even though they are inextricably linked with the Wutiao family, the recent politicians have to communicate with magicians, so their major affairs related to the magic world are handled by them. Yingzi is in charge.

Among other things, there are three or four first-level conjurers that Guangyingzi is familiar with.

Yingzi disliked Wenzhi, but actually hung up the phone and went to inquire about it. She said, "Xia Youjie is at the High School of Conjuration, and Xiuzhi is not with him." She added, "His parents don't know about Xia Youjie. Jay can see spirits."

After hearing this, Wen Zhi said: "I don't know whether Xia Youjie is too smart or his parents are too negligent, and they can't even find out that the child can see the curse spirit." He muttered again, "The relationship between Xiu Zhi and Xia You is not so good. , why don't they stick together?"

Yingzi said: "What's the matter, conjurers and ordinary people belong to two worlds. I heard that Xia You and Wujo Wu have a very good relationship. They hit it off right away."

"They're all super magicians, right?"

"Yes."

Wenzhi first said: "That's normal." Then he taunted, "The friendship between him and Xiuzhi for so many years is not worth Wujo Wu, a magician, haha." That's a sarcasm.

Yingzi was thoughtful: "Tell me, should we ask Xia Youjie?"

"what?"

"He might know where Xiu Zhi is."

Wenzhi: "Huh?"

Yingzi said helplessly: "You have too much prejudice against conjurers, haven't you thought about letting Xia You protect Xiuzhi before?"

Wenzhi died of fish eyes.

"...So you thought of it a long time ago?" He held back for a long time and said, "Then why didn't you find Xiayou?"

Yingzi sneered first: "What's the matter with you, but whenever you encounter something related to Xiuzhi, your IQ will drop by several gradients."

Wenzhi silently endured the humiliating ridicule.

"I didn't look for Xia You before, because I knew Xiuzhi well. He was quite calm. When he ran away from home, he would not tell anyone about himself. He was worried that we would find him. Recently, he can continue to speak. The news is coming, proving that life is stable."

"He will only contact his friends when he is stable. Isn't Xiu Zhi the kind of person?"

"What's more, Xia Youjie is a newly discovered conjurer talent. Think about it with your toes and you will know. Before that, he must have been crazily studying the knowledge related to the conjuration world, and participated in the action of exorcism. Unlike you, I I've been paying attention to his work schedule, and I've just been a little free recently, probably because I'm getting used to life."

"Both parties have enough room to communicate."

Yingzi concluded: "By the way, if it weren't for the threat of 'girl apprentices', I would rather Xiuzhi go out more to get used to the society. When he was his age, we would have gone to other places to study a long time ago. Is it? No one would want to be tied up in their hometown, that place is so decayed that no one wants to live there."

"In the final analysis, you are overprotective. You are more like a mother than a mother. If he can take good care of himself, it's okay to go out for a while." Yingzi lit a cigarette, "Anyway, even if Mr. Xiuzhi causes any trouble, you can still Help him cook well, that's enough."

It is said that the elder brother is like the father, and the elder sister is like the mother, but in the Tsushima family, these two relationships seem to be reversed.

The male mother Wenzhi said that he would take time to go to the college to talk to Xia Youjie.

He said that Yingzi was too big-hearted, and even said that there were "female apprentices", how could he rest assured?Xiuzhi must be found out, immediately, immediately, and let him stay obediently in the protection circle, this is the right way.

It is absolutely impossible to go out and live by yourself, absolutely impossible.

Yingzi: "..."

Okay, okay.

She always had a premonition somewhere.

Yingzi crushed the cigarette butt, she looked out through the window frame, saw the buildings in the distance, saw the Tokyo Tower soaring into the sky, a strange thought came to her mind.

'Xiuji, do you really know nothing about curse spirits and female disciples? '

……

When Wen Zhi, Xia Youjie, Mrs. Xia You and others were in entanglement, what was Ye Zang doing?

He was engrossed in his work, and he passed on the first chapter that he changed and changed to Xiao Zhuang. In addition, he also uploaded the setting set that he worked so hard to make.

The final draft of the first chapter is 42 pages. Aye strives for perfection and has revised it countless times, trying to restore the true image of Oda. By the way, he paved the way for Osamu Dazai who appeared in the second chapter, trying to draw him cool and aggressive.

Aye has always been wearing a thick filter for Dazai. He was guilty of stealing Dazai's body from himself. After watching "No Longer Human" in this world, he regards Dazai as the "father" who created himself. In addition to Rumu, Rumu is Rumu.

Judging from Aye's subjective wishes, he wished to paint Osamu Dazai as a saint, but he still has a sliver of reason, knowing that Osamu Dazai is not a saint, not to mention that purely positive characters are not popular these days.

Finally, what appeared on the setting set was a very mature image of Dazai.

Xiao Zhuang: "The devil-like wisdom that can see through people's hearts at a glance, the handsome and slender boy, the pupils are not bright, the details are quite good, the pursuit of death..." He said after watching, "Very attractive character, Mr. Ye Zang , as long as you shape it well, your popularity will explode, Teacher Ye Zang!"

Xiao Zhuang knows what kind of supporting role will be popular. It is necessary to be handsome, and it must be handsome with characteristics. The background must be mysterious and the character must have certain flaws. You have to be soft and have your own ideals and persistence, and in the end you have to help the protagonist.

This character must also have a complete plot line, preferably with an extremely miserable and climaxing past or something, by the way, he also needs to have a cp that can be smashed.

Osamu Dazai has them all, but judging by the character design, he is a big hit.

After Xiao Zhuang watched the character collection, his admiration for Ye Zang increased.

Excellent comic works have two elements, one is an excellent plot, and the other is an excellent character design. An excellent plot is likely to become an evergreen tree, while an excellent character design... sorry, it is easy to become a cash cow.

Xiaozhuang hopes that Ye Zang's works can shoulder the burden of both sides.

On Monday, Ye Zang's work "Yokohama Stray Dogs" began to be serialized on JUMP, and Xiao Zhuang won a cover color page for him.

Aye put a lot of thought into painting the coloring pages, so that the pictures he drew are very complete, and the style of painting is very unique.

Later in the interview, Ye Zang also mentioned his motivation for drawing this cover.

"Well, because it's the first chapter, it's really not friendly to let everyone out at once. The readers don't know who is right for whom."

"Therefore, only Oda Saku and Mr. Dazai appeared in the cover art, and one of them appeared at the beginning of the first episode, and the other appeared at the end of the first episode."

"I thought again, wouldn't it be weird to let them stand there blankly? Since it's the cover, it doesn't matter if the drawing has a bit of an artistic sense, so I talked about Mr. Dazai's left body and Oda Tsukuru's right body. They put it together."

"The effect is surprisingly good. Maybe putting them together will create a sense of visual impact."

"In short, the purpose of shocking people has indeed been achieved." When he said this, Ye Zang showed a rather shy and embarrassed smile.

So what's going on with Monday's JUMP sales?

First of all, it is absolutely impossible to say that the purchase rate can be increased by relying on the cover. JUMP is originally a national magazine, and the volume of circulation is very large every week. Secondly, readers have read comics for so many years, what kind of style have they never seen? , although he was shocked by Ye Zang's exquisite painting style, he quickly returned to normal.

So how do you judge whether Ye Zang's new works are popular or not?It depends on JUMP's reserved items, questionnaires.

As a national magazine, JUMP has fierce internal competition. Generally, there will be no more than 20 serialized works in the same period, and the possibility of cutting works after ranking 18 is very high.

Then how to determine the ranking depends entirely on the reader survey.

A week after the first serialization of "Yokohama Stray Dogs", Xiao Zhuang was out of his mind, and was very worried that the questionnaire ranking of this work was low.

His worries are also justified. Although "Yokohama Stray Dogs" has a good conception, exquisite composition and good plot, there is a very big bug in this work, that is, the characters on stage are all writers.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Xiao Zhuang himself thinks that the image created by Mr. Ye Zang is very good, but who knows what the readers think?If the image of the characters on the stage does not match the literary heroes in their hearts, it will inevitably arouse rebellious emotions.

Xiaozhuang actually discussed with Ye Zang whether to change his name, but Ye Zang insisted on keeping the name of the writer.

What else can Xiaozhuang do? Of course, he listened to Ye Zang.

For all the above reasons, when the questionnaire rankings were announced, Xiao Zhuang was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out. He stared at the editor-in-chief with a grim expression.

Fortunately, the editor-in-chief was used to being stared at by such expressions, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, so he calmly announced the ranking of works in this issue.

"The first serialized "Yokohama Stray Dogs" ranked second, congratulations, Xiaozhuang." That's what the editor-in-chief said, "The results are pretty good, keep working hard."

Xiao Zhuang took a long breath and said, "Thank you very much, I will definitely do my best to serve Teacher Ye Zang."

Let’s just say it’s a good start, right?

……

At this moment, a parallel world.

Dazai Osamu, who was at home and raised by Oda, was very happy. He found that his mobile phone was endowed with the function of a book (God knows how this happened). At first, he might read Ye Zang’s Twitter. Soon, his mobile phone There is an inexplicable app called "Junior JUMP" on the Internet.

He took a look and found that it was an app for serializing manga. Dazai immediately thought, could it be that Ye Zang returned to his old career and went to a parallel world to draw manga?

The leader rubbed his chin: It's not bad to think about it carefully, life is so boring, reading Aye's comics can bring some fun.

With the idea of ​​having some fun for himself, he started to read the comics drawn by Ye Zang, and he enjoyed himself as soon as he opened the first page.

What, Aye's protagonist must be Odasaku? !

It's quite normal to think about www.

The leader Jae said: If he was a painter, he would definitely let Oda be his protagonist.

Until the last page, Osamu Dazai was in a good mood, hey, there is no way, who said that the whole first chapter is Odasaku's handsome scene?There's no Zack creature not enjoying watching this.

When he turned to the last page, the easy-going smile that had been on Dazai's face disappeared.

He looked at the person who took up more than half of the picture, saw that condescending expression, and his mind went blank.

'What?Ah Ye actually regarded me as the main supporting role? '

'And to draw something I did in my second year of middle school? '

'This is too cute for Cassie! '

The leader Zai expressed his admiration.
