Cartoonists and their assistants

Page 61

Saho looked left and right, occasionally revealing an envious look in her eyes.

"We will not mistreat Miss Zusu either."

"This is what Mizuki Machi said."

"Sister Zuxu..."

"Onii-chan, you can just call me by my name!"

"So, is Saho really just here to have fun today?"

"Of course I'm here to have fun! But I'll also take this opportunity to do some scouting and find out what kind of person Teacher Yuexia really is."

"Now that you've seen it, how do you feel?"

"Hmm...you're a very nice person. I want to thank you on behalf of my sister! My sister had been submitting her work for a long time, but it was never accepted. She seemed so disappointed. But since she became your assistant, she's become much happier. I also heard that she recently won a newcomer award."

"It's not just my achievement; it also includes Ms. Yuriko's contribution, and most importantly, it's Ms. Ashisu's persistent efforts."

After hearing this, Saho stared at him blankly.

"If only my brother were a little older."

"Uh, why?"

"In that case, he's almost like my sister, a perfect match! I can have such a great brother!"

"Hahaha......"

Mizuki Machi had no way to respond to such a question and could only laugh it off.

"Strange, why do I feel a chill..."

Saho suddenly frowned.

Because a hostile gaze has been lurking in the shadows, ready to strike.

"Teacher, work is more important. Teacher Guanyue knows what she's doing."

"Humph!"

Saho Ashisu quickly pulled Eriri, who was about to explode, up to the second floor, and the latter gave her face.

After that, the two in the living room didn't talk about anything exciting anymore; they simply played games for a few hours until Saho Ashisu got off work.

"Teachers, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

The assistant bowed to express her apology.

"nothing."

Mizuki Machi waved his hand.

"No problem."

Eriri gritted her teeth and said.

"Then we'll take our leave."

"Onii-chan, let's play together again sometime!"

The two sisters quickly said goodbye.

"Ok."

He waved, and suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

80, you're quite suited to drawing notebooks.

Mizuki Machi turned around and saw the girl with her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes filled with disdain.

He said, "Don't stand behind someone and not say anything."

Eriri snorted and said, "How pathetic that someone was bought off by just one 'Onii-chan'."

"You do not understand."

He said harshly.

"How could I not understand? You perverted siscon!"

The girl scoffed.

She is extremely knowledgeable about the existence of various XPs!

Only in this way can we create a book that satisfies the readers.

This made her firmly believe that even if she didn't become a comic artist, she would still become a top artist in the adult entertainment industry.

"It's only people like you who don't have younger sisters who mistakenly think that younger sisters are as cute as those in anime. That guy definitely has ulterior motives. Besides, Miss Ashisu probably never told her where her sister works. How did that guy find out?"

"None of that matters. All we need to know is that Sahono came to visit because she cares about Ms. Asasu."

Kanzuki Masashi smiled calmly.

"Um......"

The girl clenched her fists, and the sound that came out of her nose was like asking a kitten to hiss.

"Alright, it's time to go home. We have to get up early for Summer Comic tomorrow. You don't want to go through that hellish scene again, do you?"

He turned his head and asked.

".......really."

The girl's eyes flickered, and then she nodded in agreement.

A hot season, and a hot spot in terms of popularity.

Even without having experienced the Summer Comic, one can easily imagine what it was like inside and outside the venue.

So, having learned from their previous experiences, they decided to arrive early, before the temperature rose and people became as crowded as ants.

......

8 month 15 day.

Mizuki Machi put on a casual T-shirt and shorts, and a pair of sunglasses to shield her eyes before heading out.

After waiting for a while at the bottom of Detective Slope, Eriri came up the slope, already fully disguised, wearing a small round hat and black-rimmed glasses, and overalls with a T-shirt underneath, as if she was imitating some stereotypical otaku image.

The girl noticed the slight upturn at the corner of his mouth and said resentfully.

"what's so funny!"

"It's nothing, I just feel you're being too deliberate."

"You were wearing sunglasses too!"

"I just needed it for shade."

"Stop trying to fool me!"

The two argued as they boarded the tram.

At first, the girl's appearance was rather unique.

However, at the stop before the destination, things seemed less special; many people were dressed in what appeared to be outlandish costumes, clearly also there to participate in the summer comics.

"There are way too many people, even though we got up so early today."

Eriri looked at the almost full train, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered.

She already had a bad feeling about it.

"Then there's nothing we can do. It seems everyone has the same idea."

Mizuki Machi said helplessly, then complained.

"Well, if Eriri were still Eri Kashiwagi, we wouldn't have to worry about this kind of problem."

Because those who set up stalls can enter first as a community group, without having to queue like ordinary people.

"No way! I'd rather stand in line!"

The girl denied it without hesitation.

If it gets exposed, she'll be really in deep trouble.

"That's such a shame..."

He said with a regretful expression.

......

Upon arriving at the station, the two found the agreed-upon spot and waited for a while.

"Mikazuki-sensei, Sawamura-sensei."

Asahi Saho arrived quickly, walking briskly over to greet him.

"Ahem, Miss Asashisu, please don't address me that way today. It's easy for someone to overhear and then pester me, even though that's not my real name..."

Eriri coughed twice.

"I understand, the teacher wants to keep a low profile."

The assistant nodded, then changed her address to, "Then I'll just call you by your surnames, Mizuki and Sawamura."

"So be it."

Mizuki Machi nodded.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting!"

Ten minutes later, Kanata Kurusu finally arrived at the scene.

She lives in Chiba, so it's normal for her to arrive a little late.

"Alright, let's hurry up and get in line, otherwise..."

After only a few words, Eriri couldn't wait any longer.

"Don't worry, Bibi has already made preparations in advance, so there's no need to queue at all."

At this moment, Kurusu Kanata smiled slightly.

"Could it be that?"

Apart from Ms. Ashisu, who was still unaware of the situation, the childhood friends exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up.

after a while.

The four glanced at the long queue of people, then entered through another passage.

"I never knew that Bibi was involved in a club."

Eriri exclaimed in surprise.

"That's normal. If you want to pursue your dream of becoming a manga artist, you can't support yourself without having some side jobs. Before, Pipi was able to afford an assistant because of her doujinshi. Not everyone's family background is as good as Sawamura's."

Kurusu Kanata raised his finger and said with a smile.

"I see... I see."

"By the way, Sawamura's art style is quite suitable for drawing doujinshi, have you ever thought about it?"

"Absolutely not!"

Eriri said with a firm expression.

"That's a pity."

Kurusu Kanata spread his hands.

I heard the same words twice in a row.

The girl's expression at that moment was almost unbearable.

"Ah."

Kanzuki Masashi laughed out loud.

"Ok?"
