Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 218. 215. It really shames me
"Brother Cheng, is that your acquaintance?" Xiao Jing asked, pointing to the booth of the black and white witch.

"Oh, it's an acquaintance." Jiuzhou Cheng nodded: "Is the relationship okay."

Seeing Eliza on this occasion, Makoto Kyushu was somewhat surprised.It's like a female detective who has to work overtime every day, her eyes are as cold as an ice cave, but she wears a pink dress and a bow hairpin to go shopping on weekends.

"Then let's go and have a look~" Xiaojing had already walked over without authorization.

Seeing the two people approaching, Eliza lowered the brim of her hat to completely cover her face. After a moment of hesitation, she said in a tone that did not recognize them:
"Welcome. Do you two want to come and see?"

The two picked up the product samples on the booth, a not-so-thick fan comic book, and turned the pages to read.

The protagonists of the manga are a girl magician and a young witch. The atmosphere of the manga is more casual and relaxed, which is probably the kind of daily story that has a match and a match.

From Makoto Kyushu's amateur perspective, the artistry of this manga book is fairly passable, but both the storyline and the storyboard design are mediocre, without any appeal, and uninteresting.If it is put in a professional comic magazine, it will probably be cut in half if it is serialized for three issues.

It's no wonder that there are many comic books on the booth, but almost no sales are made.

"Did you draw this, Miss Qing Gong?" Jiuzhou Cheng couldn't help asking.

Hearing that Makoto Kyushu still reported the name, Eliza snorted a little uncomfortably, and then introduced in a slightly gentler tone:
"I drew it."

"So you know how to draw? Your level is not bad." Kyushu praised pretendingly.

Only then did Makoto Kyushu recall that Elisa seemed to have decided to give up the psychic profession in order to become a cartoonist.Although this sounds as outrageous as "giving up a civil servant to become a homeless person", there are all kinds of people in this world, let alone a famous young lady whose thinking cannot be understood by ordinary people's common sense.

Anyway, she must be holding the idea of ​​"even if I fail, my family will support me". The life tolerance rate of rich children is very high.

"The level is good. This is really a perfunctory compliment to me." Eliza sighed softly.

"Aren't you usually very busy, do you still have time to learn painting?" Jiuzhou Cheng asked again.

"There are elective courses in art in school, and I study them seriously." Eliza replied.

"Can you draw to this level just by relying on art classes in school?" Makoto Kyushu was surprised.

For example, the art class of their Xiujin Academy basically emphasizes a perfunctory.Even if a person is drawn as a dog, the teacher will happily pass the student.

Of course, if it is the kind of art examinee who is going to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, the teacher's requirements may be stricter.But Eliza is obviously not an art college student. The "art elective course" she refers to should be an interest course that mainly cultivates sentiment.

Seeming to see through Kyushu Makoto's confusion, Eliza replied in a low voice: "Don't underestimate Gao Tianyuanfeng, even the educational level of elective courses is beyond the reach of your high school professional courses."

"That's it~ That prestigious school is really amazing~" Jiuzhou Cheng smiled, not intending to argue too much about it.

"Well..." Xiaojing suddenly said curiously after reading the fan book:

"Are you Teacher Wuyu?"

"Oh, you know me?" Eliza's eyes lit up immediately, she looked up at Xiaojing, and then her eyes revealed a bit of vigilance.

"Ah, it's all right~ I just read your work on the Internet by chance before~" Xiaojing quickly put down the comic book, lightly tugged Jiuzhou Cheng's shoulder, and switched to Yanhuang: "Let's go, Brother Cheng."

Jiuzhou Cheng waved goodbye, and came to the side with Xiao Jing: "You know her too?"

Xiaojing pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then replied: "Well, she has a personal account on social media, and she occasionally updated her comics and essay illustrations three or four years ago, and she was called "Kiriyare Eliza". "

"Then is she famous?" Makoto Kyushu raised his interest.

"Rather than being famous, it's better to say that the reputation is not very good~" Xiaojing smiled helplessly:
"Her painter is not particularly good, but she used to like to spend money to improve her reputation, such as spending money on social platforms, or asking other painters to help her promote."

"Using money to solve problems is quite like her style." Kyushu Makoto commented as a matter of course:

"What then?"

"Later, she was convinced of what she did, so she was ridiculed by many people. She herself came out angrily to defend herself, and tried to spend money to ban those accounts that mocked her." Xiaojing shrugged:

"As a result, her reputation was completely stink, and she rarely appeared on the Internet. But before she left the social platform, she said that she would become the number one manga artist in Wano Country, which made everyone look up."

"I see. She still has such a dark history~" Makoto Kyushu couldn't help but want to laugh.

I didn't expect that this girl with a weird mind, who was always frosty except for the occasional impulsiveness, would have such a miserable past.

"In this case, why does she still appear at this kind of comic exhibition to sell her own comic book?" Makoto Kyushu asked:

"Isn't she afraid of being recognized by former netizens and ridiculed on the spot?"

But if she really loses her temper, those who laugh at her will surely suffer.

"Actually, her disguise work is quite good, and the comics have not been signed." Xiaojing pouted and recalled:
"I recognized it based on her painting style, and she used to like to draw the characters of the two witches and witches."

"That's it~ you are indeed an old net nerd who is proficient in this kind of culture~" Makoto Kyushu squeezed out a compliment that was not considered a compliment, which was regarded as a thank you for suddenly inquiring about this information.

"However, I didn't expect that Mr. Wuyu, who was a bit nervous back then, would be so young~" Xiaojing sighed with a smile:
"Feel...like a high school student like us?"

The two chatted for a while, and Xiaojing suddenly said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and there happened to be a long queue in the women's toilet, so he had to ask Jiuzhou Cheng to wait for her for 10 minutes.

Makoto Kyushu was idle and bored, so he returned to Eliza's booth.

There was a fat man in a cartoon T-shirt who looked like a textbook-level nerd was standing in front of her booth, holding a camera in his hand.

"Hey~ I didn't expect someone to cosplay a black and white magician these days~" A Zhai pushed the glasses frame, as if thinking about something:
"This is an old character that has been out of date for several years."

"I'm not too angry." Eliza raised her head slightly, looked at him with a slightly cold gaze, and then smiled reluctantly:

"Does the guest want to buy a doujinshi? This is DA☆ZE, which I have poured my soul into~"

"Oh oh oh!" A Zhai became inexplicably excited:

"It's this mouth fetish! The soul of this character lies in adding a "DA☆ZE" at the end of the sentence!Take a closer look, miss, your cosplay is really professional, and your appearance is also rated as [-] out of [-]. Can you allow me to take a few photos as a souvenir? "

"Of course there is no problem, but can you please support my small business?" Eliza also pointed to the comic book on the booth.

"No problem! Please give me a copy!" A Zhai put the two banknotes on the table, and then raised the camera.

Eliza also stood up and took a pose, tilting her head like a lively little girl:

"Remember, I'm just an ordinary magician passing by, but one day I'll scare those monsters DA☆ZE~!"

"Oh! That's the classic line!" A Zhai excitedly took several photos, and the flash clicked;
"You really like this character!"

"Of course DA☆ZE～"

After sending A Zhai away, Eliza sat back on the chair with a blank expression, waiting for the next customer.

At this moment, Eliza suddenly realized that someone was staring at her.She turned her head quickly and found that it was Jiuzhou Cheng standing next to the booth.

For a moment, Eliza's face became extremely cold, and then revealed disgust visible to the naked eye, and her cheeks flushed inexplicably.

"What are you doing back?" Eliza lowered the brim of her hat to cover her cheeks, and asked in a deep voice:
"Also, when did you come back?"

"." Jiuzhou Cheng thought for a while, and replied, "I saw everything just now."

"You bastard." Eliza shook her body, gasped for several breaths but couldn't calm down.

After finishing speaking, she left the booth, walked quickly to an empty corner, and slammed her fist on the wall.

thump--

Her strength wasn't too great, and she didn't leave any marks on the wall. Instead, her fists were slightly red.

"Are you okay?" Jiuzhou Cheng stepped forward and asked.

Boom—!Boom—!Boom—!
Eliza continued to slam her fists against the wall, her cheeks under the big hat were as red as apples.

"Aren't you afraid of smashing the wall?" Makoto Kyushu sighed and asked.

"It doesn't matter, if it's broken, I'll pay for it to be repaired." She hit the wall with her fist twice, and managed to calm down.

"Does it make you feel ashamed to let me see you like this?" Jiuzhou Cheng thought for a moment before realizing why her reaction was so great.

"It's long-winded, it's not." Eliza denied coldly, and quickly changed the subject:

"Compared to this, I didn't expect you to come out with a new girl? I didn't expect you, a stone man, to pretend to be an idiot in love on the surface, but you really care about it behind your back~"

"Don't you add "DA☆ZE" at the end of the sentence? " Kyushu asked sincerely.

"Oh, did you bastard do it on purpose?" Eliza was choked up, her cheeks flushed again: "It really shames me that you saw my appearance like this."

"That's my neighbor, an overseas student from Yanhuang." Makoto Kyushu explained solemnly:

"After she came to Tokyo to study, she was wronged and became a little introverted, so I am slowly enlightening her."

"Hmph, if I heard this from someone else, I would definitely think it was an excuse to pick up girls." Eliza sneered:
"But since you, a good old man, said it, then I will forcefully believe you once."

"Of course, I didn't intend to lie about this kind of thing." Kyushu said confidently:

"For me, a girl who is too weak cannot be my girlfriend. In other words, I only like girls who can fight."

"Only like girls who can fight? What a strange thing, but it fits your personality~" Eliza shook her head, and couldn't help laughing:

"Forget it, just pretend you don't know anything about today's affairs, and don't tell anyone." Eliza ordered in an almost commanding tone.

"No problem, I'm not interested in gossiping about you with others." Jiuzhou Cheng folded his arms and sighed:
"You must have suffered a lot on the road of pursuing a manga artist, Mr. Wuyu?"

"You..." Eliza glanced at him in surprise, and asked reluctantly, "That neighbor of yours. Did she recognize me?"

"She told me about your previous story." Makoto Jiuzhou commented: "How should I put it~ You are probably a little too eager for quick success, but considering your age at that time, it should only be considered when you were young. Stupid thing."

Eliza took a deep breath, her face became gloomy: "You don't need to worry about it."

"Sorry, this kind of thing really has nothing to do with me, I am talking too much." Jiuzhou Cheng said to himself:

"Do you come to this kind of exhibition every year?"

"Well, I come here every year to sell doujinshi." Eliza snorted angrily:
"I didn't mean to become a manga artist. No matter how busy I am at work, I still have to spare some time to draw doujinshi during the summer vacation. Otherwise, when I reach the master level, my drawing skills will be so unfamiliar that I can't use it."

"But if you go on halfway like this, can you really successfully reach the master level and retire to become a cartoonist?" Makoto Kyushu asked again.

"." It seemed to touch Eliza's inner pain, she lowered her head with a gloomy face, and did not speak again.

According to what Eliza disclosed earlier, her father will probably stop providing her with sufficient financial support in the future, just like most Chinese people treat their adult children.

Her family obviously never intended for her to realize that unknown dream, but only gave her a little hope, let her struggle for the last time before she became an adult, just like diners watching drunken shrimp jumping helplessly on the dinner plate.

As for Jiuzhou Cheng, it must be just an unrelated person accidentally involved in this ridiculous bet.Just because it was easy, she was used by her father.

Her incomprehensible personality is probably her attitude towards her false but helpless life, so that Jiuzhou Cheng, who has been getting along with her as a "colleague", is not used to it.

But for her current appearance, Jiuzhou Cheng is also helpless.Who told her to be a very self-respecting person, and Jiuzhou Cheng would not put his face on others' cold ass, and even licked his face to help others when he was rejected.

"Brother Cheng, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" Just when the atmosphere was tense, Xiaojing ran over quickly:
"Hey, why is Brother Cheng and Teacher Wuyu together?"

"Acquaintances, let's chat for a while~" Kyushu Cheng waved goodbye:

"I'm sorry, my friends and I will continue to go shopping. Let's do our best to sell doujinshi~"
