The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"...What does it mean?"

"I mean, 'I'll give you the pen, and you write.' Ms. Higuchi, please guide me~"

"...Haha——What a useless person."

At this point, do I still have a choice?

At this moment, the two hands met in the air, and then their shadows overlapped.

......

...

..

Yoshida Tsuna, 28 years old, office workerdesu.

To be honest, while he appears to be a chatty person who's good at livening up a cocktail party, that's just a skill honed over years of work. In reality, he's just a nerd who loves cute 2D characters, and who especially enjoys relieving stress by appreciating cute yuri and fantasy-themed works after a long day at work.

Today, he still opened the most popular comic website in the East at night, and "hunted" on it with his experienced eyes. On this ordinary Monday, he will see a wonderful work that will change his life (laughs)

"Magical Girl Tsuna... My name is the same as mine? The label says [Magical Girl] [Yuri] [Healing] [Battle] [Original]... I see, then this is the side dish for today!"

Note: The side dishes here do not have any extra meaning, they are simply meant to go well with rice.

......

...

..

"Magical Girl Tsuna...where did the original title go?"

"Hehe..even though it's in the title, the story actually revolves around Madoka."

"I see... It's a complete fraud right from the title, Mr. Dark Scholar."

After hearing the full story, Higuchi Enka was convinced that this wasn't a work that was made up on the spur of the moment to fool her. If it was, then this man was truly terrifying. Regardless, this is indeed a good work, but on the other hand, "the negative impact on teenagers is immeasurable."

So she would stay, as a "supervisor", as Higuchi of the cartoonist group "Drawing Devil Higuchi", as his——

......

...

..

At the beginning of the story, a girl with twin ponytails runs through an endless winding corridor. She's young, dressed in a school uniform, and aside from her adorable round face, there aren't many details about her. It feels like a character dreamed up by a junior high student, with a flawed beauty.

This simple character creates a strong contrast with the complex yet delicate pattern in the background, while the depressing black and white background also contrasts with the cute pink twintail girl. A few scenes flash by, and the girl has arrived at the place where the emergency exit sign is hung.

But this doesn't make sense at all. The girl's reassured expression and the obvious trap that readers can see through make people nervous. Although it's just a few simple strokes, the opening of the story is full of a different flavor from other cute magical girls, and Yoshida Tsuna can't help but continue reading.

Little did he know that this was the beginning of his journey towards the end of the healing system——

......

...

..

After pushing open the door marked with the escape exit, the girl saw—

I saw the huge gears floating in the sky, the devastated city, and... the black-haired girl fighting an unknown existence in the air.

Ruins drifted in the air, a black and white sky cast a heavy, oppressive vibe, and a mysterious enemy hovered in the center of the sky. The black-haired girl's presence, judging by her size alone, was barely even one percent of the enemy's. The rainbow-colored halo surrounding her only added a touch of divinity and strangeness to her.

As expected, the black-haired girl quickly fell into a disadvantage when facing a powerful opponent. She was hit by the wreckage of the building, and a huge cloud of dust rose up, and her life or death was in danger. The girl with twin tails saw this scene and couldn't help but worry about the black-haired girl, lamenting the cruelty and injustice of fate.

"Hmm... there should be a turning point next. After all, this is a story about a magical girl, and a so-called magical girl is someone who can cause miracles!" Yoshida Tsuna didn't notice that he had been attracted by the short few pages of the story. Now he didn't even eat his meal and started reading the comics attentively.

Just as he imagined, just as the twin-tailed girl sighed, a cute creature that clearly shouldn't exist appeared. With its short limbs and adorable large head, it was the standard magical girl mascot. Add to that the adorable cat ears, the droopy ears with indeterminate golden rings, and the large tail resembling a fox or squirrel, and the adorable creature immediately captured Yoshida Tsuna's heart.

After all, as a macho man, what he likes most are these cute pink and tender creatures and beautiful girls!

......

...

..

"...Do you have to draw this guy so beautifully?" Higuchi Enka frowned at the cute white creature on the digital tablet and asked.

Although she secretly liked this kind of cuteness, when she thought about the role played by the character named QB (Qewpie) in the "first version of the story", it was not an exaggeration to say that it was the author's malice incarnate. Therefore, she was so angry that she finally punched the author twice. This must be the dream of most readers in the future, right?

"Hey, come on, I'm drawing... Of course it has to be cute, or rather, it has to be this way! After all, the other magical girls are so cute, so how can it not be cute as a 'mascot'?"

Although he spoke in high-sounding terms, Ping Xin's raised mouth and bared teeth betrayed his inner thoughts. This guy definitely had no good intentions. Anyone who saw him could tell at a glance. Behind her, Enka, who had become angry for some reason, punched him again.

"Oh, why don't you understand... the cuter something is, the kinder it is? That's totally wrong. It's like thinking bears are cute animals after watching a cartoon. Do you think you grew up drinking vodka? Not everyone can chase and beat a bear."

No, I think the example you gave is very strange. What kind of "ordinary person" can chase and beat a bear?

Keeping her doubts to herself, Enka discussed with Hirayuko while watching him paint. She had no idea that what he said about being able to paint was actually true...

But what did he mean when he said before that “I drew the music and illustrations myself”?

Let's go back and search again. Higuchi Enka once again felt the convenience of the Internet.

......

...

..

"If you give up, that's it. But if it's you, you can definitely change fate. You can overturn the inevitable destruction and sighs. You have the power to do it..."

Well——such lines are too classic and too cool!

I guess what will happen next is that the girl with twin ponytails will deal with the monster, and then she and the girl with long black hair will live a sweet and romantic life, right?

Can’t wait, serve it up now!

Yoshida Tsuna clicked to turn the page, but the result was different from what he thought and what he knew about the mainstream plot——

The huge monster in the distance, the tiny girl standing on the top of the giant tree, and the pink and white mascot beside her, the black and white background and these three colorful creatures create a picture that brings a strong sense of powerlessness, just like the girl with pink twintails' evaluation of herself at this moment.

"But can someone like me...change this outcome?"

Yoshida Tsuna unconsciously recited this line. He had once imagined that one day he would suddenly awaken his power and save the world, just like the protagonist in a classic shonen manga. But his yearning day after day brought no results. In the end, he was just an ordinary office worker, unable to change anything.

"Heh...I've even been completely changed by this world. Initially, I couldn't drink or talk, let alone liven up the atmosphere. But now I'm the star of the show. The only thing telling me this isn't right is my parents back home and the medical report from the hospital."

After a little self-deprecating emo, Yoshida Tsuna continued to look down——

The white mascot affirmed the girl's low self-esteem and then proposed a contract to make her a magical girl.

"Okay, that's how it should be written!... No, it can only be written like this!"

Yoshida Tsuna likes magical girls because he can feel happy from the bottom of his heart just by seeing their easy and healing daily lives. Although they may encounter difficulties and obstacles sometimes, they will eventually overcome them with friendship, bonds and love, which is different from this shitty world where even if you give, you may not get anything in return.

Under the persuasion of the cute white creature, the round-faced girl with twin ponytails strengthened her confidence. Her eyes became firm. The black-haired girl in the distance also looked over and shouted something.

At this moment, a cute round-faced girl with twin ponytails woke up from the bed with her hair loose. From the pink patterned wallpaper, the pink doll in her arms, and other toys scattered around the room, it can be seen that this should be her home.

After she cried out "It was a dream", the story of the first episode ended here -

"..."

Although the chapter was interrupted, Yoshida Tsuna was not indignant because he was attracted by the exquisite illustrations at the end. It was a dilapidated place like an abandoned church, with cobwebs, dust and weeds vaguely visible in the background. But in such a place, there was a girl praying in front of the stained glass window.

A young woman with long black hair stood before the fallen cross, her hands clasped together and her head slightly lowered. Half of the stained glass window that once depicted an unknown goddess was now shattered. Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the darkness within but also bringing with it a terrifying, demonic shadow.

But the girl resolutely stood on the side of the intact stained glass window, away from the shadow of the sunlight, and would rather be with the devil (shadow).

This wonderful composition seemed to be foreshadowing something, but at this moment he was simply shocked by the painting skills and beauty. He was so scared that his chopsticks fell to the ground before he came to his senses.

"Most authors nowadays only focus on describing the characters, because as long as there are lovable characters, even if there are some flaws in the plot and other aspects of the story, they can be forgiven.

But this author did the exact opposite, using simple lines to depict lovable characters, while spending a lot of energy on the 'useless' 'background'. It's really unique..."

But the most imaginative thing is the lines of the black-haired girl on the last page illustration -

"I will save you, no matter how many times... This time, I will definitely hold your hand!"

......

...

..

"...Do you have to design it this way?" After reading the first episode as the first reader, Higuchi Enka asked a soul-searching question.

"Don't be jealous, En-chan~...Ah, sorry, I was wrong. Please put down my tablet!"

After easily controlling the overly naughty Ping Xin, she weighed the digital tablet in her hand, and then, looking at him with twitching eyelids, she began to explain: "This is all about creating suspense, you should be able to understand... Wait until some people start to ship CP, and then we will create a new CP through the plot, that's how the popularity is hyped up, hehehe——" But after laughing for less than 2 seconds, the cheeky laughter stopped abruptly, and Enka's attention was involuntarily attracted to it.

"The last line is what I want to say to you~"

Higuchi Enka subconsciously looked at the digital tablet in her hand, where the answer she wanted to find was.

"I will save you, no matter how many times... This time, I will definitely hold your hand!"

…Sure enough, you’re a man as cunning as a QB.

But I won't fall for your trick. After all, I'm not some magical girl.

Chapter 68 updated!

On the weekend of the second week, the comics were updated as scheduled. Yoshida Tsuna, who had been living a miserable life in the previous period, immediately opened the comics website app to watch.

In order to relieve his loneliness during this week, he recommended several friends in the chat group, and then saw these people looking forward to it with him, which was really exciting.

Although this comic has only one chapter, the author's superb painting skills and the unique style of "black hobby" that is completely different from the cute styles on the market have captured the hearts of many people.

Although most people are still waiting to see the plot, when they fail to see the exciting plot in the first place and are spoiled, they will know how stupid their current decision is, hehe~

After clicking on the work's homepage, Yoshida Tsuna couldn't help but rub his eyes. After repeated confirmation, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with his eyes.

"Oh my god, 7 chapters a week, even the staff working in the field can't be too busy!"

It was a surprise, a joy, and a pleasant surprise. I thought the author would update weekly, but it turns out he updates seven times a week instead of once. If this update speed can maintain the same quality as before, wouldn't it be better than other artists?

I would call it the reincarnation of the tentacle monster!

......

...

..

"..ha--"

Even though it was just the end of the first class in the morning, Higuchi Enka lay on the table and yawned loudly. This abnormal behavior attracted the attention of acquaintances, such as her childhood sweetheart Toru Asakura.

"Did you stay up late yesterday, Higuchi?"

"Nothing special, is it? I just slept a little late last night. Besides, you know I always sleep late."

Asakura Toru was still expressionless, but her eyes were darting around. After a brief moment of reflection, she continued, "Really? But I haven't stayed up late for a while, and I feel like...

......She still went to bed late a few days ago, but because of someone's superpower called "Ripple", her sleep quality has been significantly improved, so she looks better and looks like she went to bed and got up early.

But in reality, this is not the case. However, things about super powers must not be spoken out——

"...I was just reading comics." Finally, she chose a more appropriate "statement".

"Eh...is this comic interesting?" Toru asked.

"Hmm... Haa ...

"...(bored but) watched it all night?"

"Just killing time... Haah~~~~" Another long yawn. Although lying on the table was not comfortable, for someone who had a heated discussion with others until 4 o'clock in the morning last night, it was already a "bed" that was enough for them to sleep well.

"..Well, good night, Higuchi."

After hearing this, Enka's eyes finally closed completely and she fell into a deep sleep. At this time, she still had 15 minutes before her name was called in class.
