Chapter 19: Manga Artist and Assistant (Part 2)

  Above omitted——Heaven's hentai lord.

  Sōsuke is neither a genius nor an excellent screenwriter. All of this can be called plagiarism, and it can be said to be theft.

  However.

  However.

  Satoru's actions precisely demonstrated his love for something.

  Being called a big teacher, being seen as childish, none of these matter. If you can genuinely like something from the heart, it's quite wonderful.

  If she hadn't gone to 'rescue' Mao Yuanjiu, what would she be doing now?

  Is it crying? Is it sorrow? Is a person staying in the corner resisting?

  All these guesses are meaningless, past things have passed and cannot be recalled.

  Shu Yu's rebirth is not a return, but a beginning.

  After all, this is not the original world, but a new world with a new future and different roads.

  So Sōsuke was filled with confidence in his own actions, just like Zweig's famous saying ——

  Gamblers who stake their lives on a gamble, when they dare to be presumptuous, have full confidence in their own strength and think that bold adventure is the only form.

  The world is full of wonders, and everyone is a part of those wonders. Sosuke and Mahiro are no exception, both waiting for something.

  Perhaps in order not to let the atmosphere continue to become strange, the female host hehe smiled and threw the first question at Muhara Kujira.

  "Your relationship is really good, so [Horizon] teacher, what was the opportunity for you to create 'Detective Conan'?"

  "When I saw my assistant's painstaking efforts to find a painting from ten years ago, the idea of 'Are you a pervert detective?' came up and I started wanting to draw detective comics."

  "How casual!"

  It's not just casual, but from now on, the role of 'Mao Yuan Jiu Shi' has already collapsed.

  Also, I must declare that Sosuke himself has never gone to look for the painting from ten years ago. It's said that the style of the painting from ten years ago was definitely very poor, so don't bother.

  Watching the two people talking, Sosuke thought he didn't need to interrupt, after all, now was the time that belonged to Makihara Kyouji.

  She wants to use this interview to increase her popularity, even if it means being exposed.

  All of this was for her to show her father that she had the power to make people look at her in a new light, and not just be an excellent voice acting student and academic achiever.

  This can be said to be stubborn, but also can be understood as being obstinate, Zuo You feels that this is also okay.

  It's better to try your best and make an effort rather than doing nothing at all.

  If you don't take a step forward, you'll lose your courage.

  But Sosuke thinks that the current Miharu is in a different state, not the same honor student type of Miharu he used to know.

  Is this change? For this situation, Zuo You is still not very clear.

  "Hmm, so the next question is, which character does teacher 【Horizon】 like best in the comic?"

  "Except for the main character, it should be the black-clothed person in each episode."

  "What is that?"

  "Isn't there always someone lurking in the darkness, a figure as black as coal?"

  "Horizon: The teacher is definitely the culprit! And isn't that your technique? Bad guys are always painted black, so you can't see what they look like, which makes it meaningful to deduce."

  "I forgot."

  "You're really humorous, Teacher Horizon."

  The female host seems to be unsuitable for a conversation with the current 'Super Evolution · Mogami Kujirai', this is simply the 'King-type · Mogami Kujirai' from the Millionaire Scholar King!

  "Horizon, teacher, how do you and your assistant usually divide up the work when painting?"

  "I drew the draft, he was on the side pouring water and tea, and the fruit was upside down."

  Who would do that!

  Shou Yu slammed the book in his hand onto the desktop, this was a classic move.

  "Which manga artist's assistant is so idle, only knowing how to pour tea, and actually pouring it upside down is a crime!"

  "Is it a crime? Miss Xiaohui, you can call the police now."

  "Listen carefully! Mao Yuan classmate! Don't make it sound like I really did something."

  By the way, playing the role of a talker will basically end up with a hoarse voice.

  "It's not over yet! It hasn't ended!"

  "Are you a major?! Don't wear sunglasses during interviews!"

  It's probably just a coincidence, but when Mokoto says this line while wearing sunglasses, he looks just like Quattro Bajeena from Gundam. This must be my own misconception.

  Put the sunglasses aside and continue with the interview.

  This time, the host Xiao Hui asked a somewhat tricky question.

  "What's next is a few questions, I'd like to ask teacher Horizon why he uses the pen name 'Horizon' when drawing comics?"

  Just like a certain Oda, I heard his former pen name was 'Moon Water Fire Wood Gold Earth', how cool is that?

  When he heard the host's question, Muhara Kujira seemed to fall silent for a moment.

  Sōsuke was silent on one side, he also wanted to know why Makihara Kaito used the pen name "Horizon", because this pen name was exactly the same as the founder of that "Night of Fate" theory.

  This is speculation, or rather a more affirmative guess, Sosuke thinks that Muhara Kujira is the same as the 【horizon】 of that forum, and also the current 【horizon】.

  She likes "Night of Fate", and the name "Horizon" originally means the horizon, maybe it means she wants to see what kind of scenery exists at the end of the horizon.

  "【Horizon】 This pen name? Honestly, I'm not too sure either, it just came to me in a flash of inspiration. Does doing something really need all sorts of reasons and explanations?"

  "Horizon teacher is indeed humorous, but that's just the way it is, no need to understand. So, Horizon teacher, are you satisfied with your own manga?"

  "As for the results, they're not bad, but it's not just me, I also had help from my assistant."

  So saying, Sosuke found himself being stared at by Kugayama Koji.

  At this time so gentle, really is a strange woman.

  "My assistant is quite stupid and has very poor grades, almost to the point of having none, only knowing how to cook a little..."

  "Hey..."

  Wanted to refute, but Sosuke's words were immediately interrupted.

  "But - a person can't do many things, and an assistant has solved this problem for me, so I'm very grateful."

  Makihara Kyou bowed his head in gratitude, while Sosuke responded with a gentle smile, unsure of what to say.

  All those words were just a prelude to "thank you", it seems that this bookworm girl is indeed not very straightforward.

  But being thanked by someone was not a bad experience for Sosuke.

  From now on, I'll give her a little push too.
