My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

"Miki, I bought some great stuff too!"

"Listen to me, I've bought ONE's doujinshi!"

"Huh? You also bought ONE's doujinshi?"

Just as the two were about to share the good news with each other, they unexpectedly discovered that it seemed their friend had bought ONE's doujinshi.

"Huh? Miki, how did you buy ONE's doujinshi?"

"Right after you left? Then there was an old man selling doujinshi there, and he ripped me off for 20,000 yuan for just four books."

"But I also bought ONE's doujinshi. I bought four of them and only spent less than five thousand yuan."

The two looked at each other in bewilderment. Both were ONE doujinshi, so why was the other's price less than a quarter of theirs?

"Dongyue, did you buy a fake product?"

"Miki, I was just about to ask you, did you get scammed?"

The two best friends looked at each other and then handed their comics to each other.

“It’s different.”

"They are different, but Miki, why is your manga so... shabby?"

At this moment, Fuyutsuki looked at Miki's manga with a puzzled expression. Could this quality really be called a manga? Even if it were a doujinshi, it would be far too perfunctory.

"Well, it does seem a bit off. So, Fuyutsuki, where did you buy it?"

Seemingly realizing that her own comics were far inferior to her friend's, Miki asked him about it, feeling embarrassed.

That's right. Their books look just like the official JUMP single volumes, while mine is just a piece of trashy pirated comic. How can you even compare them?

"I bought it from a stall over there. I heard they were from the PK Academy Creative Club."

"PK Academy Creative Club?! Shouldn't that be ONE's club?"

"That's right, so their comics should be fine. In fact, look, there's even ONE's signature on this comic."

"Does this mean I've been scammed?"

At this point, Miki also realized the problem. ONE-sensei would never present works from two different comic book companies when he comes to a comic convention, so there must be something wrong with one of the comics.

Compared to the manga that Miki has, which is clearly terrible but sells for a super high price, and whose artwork, plot, and materials all reveal a perfunctory attitude, Fuyutsuki's manga is obviously the real deal.

"I knew I'd been tricked!"

Miki was furious. These few comic books had swindled her out of 20,000 yuan.

"Let's go! Let's settle accounts with that boss!"

Without saying a word, Miki ran straight to the stall where Qin Kou San Niao was located.

At this time, many people besides Miki also noticed that something was wrong.

When Miki arrived there, Qin Kou was already arguing with the others.

A young woman dressed in simple clothes was arguing with Qin Kou San Niao.

Although the girl was extremely angry, Qin Kou San Niao still refused to admit his guilt.

"Boss! What's going on with these comics you have? Why is another comic book store also selling ONE's comics? Who is ONE's collaborator, you or them?"

"Hmph, they're just a bunch of greenhorns. I'm ONE-sensei's good friend. Those brats are the imposters. I have ONE-sensei's drafts here."

"But they're from PK Academy, even from the creative club, and even Professor Akira Mugen is in there! How do you explain that?!"

"This, this? It must have been created by that kid Yashiro Mugenyo secretly behind ONE's back! Anyway, the original is here, buy it or not, it's up to you!"

"You're a complete scoundrel! How could someone like you possibly be ONE's friend!"

"Oh dear, Miss, you're judging me by my appearance! Do you need to tell me who I am? I know not only Teacher ONE, but also Teacher Enkou and other teachers. So what?"

"You, you, you bastard!"

"Furthermore, we do not accept returns. Who told you to buy it? Get out of my way and stop interfering with my business!"

Faced with the unreasonable Qin Kou San Niao, the elegant young girl was furious, and her eyes even turned red.

Although those around him also thought the item was probably fake, most people in the hall were just ordinary people. Qin Kou's shameless demeanor left many angry but unable to speak out.

"You bastard! You're a liar! What kind of friend are you, ONE-sensei? ONE-sensei would never have a friend like you! Pay me back right now!"

Upon seeing Qin Kou's arrogance, Miki, unable to recognize him, immediately launched into a tirade.

Upon seeing his friend's reaction, Fuyutsuki immediately began to hurl insults.

"That's right! We want a refund, we want a refund!"

Qin Kou got angry when he saw that someone actually wanted to return the goods.

I'm just selling something, why are these people making such a fuss? I'm selling to these people, and they dare to return the goods? I've already got the money, why would I give it back!

"You want to pay me back, huh? Fine, I'll see who dares to make me pay back today!"

At this moment, Qin Kou pulled out a wooden stick from behind his stall, looking just like a street thug.

Seeing this, the people around dared not say anything more.

"So it's you who wants me to pay back the money and return the goods, right? Today..."

"Snapped!"

Before Qin Kou could finish speaking, Dong Yue slapped him across the face.

At this moment, it was as if a line in Qinkou had completely broken.

"careful!"

At this moment, the elegant young girl saw Qin Kou San Niao raise the stick in his hand and instinctively stood in front of Dong Yue and Mei Shu to protect them.

However, the pain she expected did not come the next moment.

"Take this, Cavalier Kick!"

At that moment, right behind Qin Kou, the straight man in the leather suit kicked Qin Kou directly.

His physical abilities, far exceeding those of ordinary people, sent him flying more than ten meters away. If it weren't for the extremely high physical abilities of the people in this world, this kick would probably have sent Qin Kou straight to meet the King of Hell.

"Are you alright, Mr. Cangshu Hong?"

"you are……?"

Chapter 210: The Red Tree

"Are you alright, Professor Cang Shuhong?"

Naoto, dressed in a leather suit, looked at the elegant woman in front of him and couldn't help but ask a question.

That's right, the person in front of you is none other than Aoki Kurenai, the number one beautiful girl in the entire JUMP series of Bakuman.

Aoki Kurenai is one of the few female authors in Weekly Shonen Jump. Her real name is Aoki Yuriko, and she is only 20 years old, a typical college student.

A quiet beauty with a beauty mark on her cheek, known for her tendency to cry easily, was admitted to To-O University, one of the most difficult universities to get into in Japan, where she continued drawing manga while pursuing graduate studies. To prepare for the possibility of not being able to become a manga artist, Aoki also obtained a teaching certificate.

She used to write short shoujo manga for "Margaret", and was aloof and cold. She was also selected as the runner-up in STOKIN.

He accepted the editorial department's suggestion that "fantasy works like this are better suited for shonen magazines," and thus moved to Shonen Jump. He partnered with Takuro Nakai to draw "Hideout Door," which was submitted to the Golden Future Cup. His values ​​were the opposite of those of male manga artists, and he appreciated more artistic manga works.

He had no good feelings towards the Fukuda Group and later married the genius manga artist Kazuya Hiramura. However, at present, this Aoki Kurenai is just a new manga artist who has just started serialization. As for why Naoto knows Aoki Kurenai, we can only say that Naoto is too familiar with the various characters of Bakuman.

"you are?"

Aoki Akane, or rather, Aoki Yuriko, looked at Naoto, who was wearing a leather suit, with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding why this person knew her.

My first book was only recently published, so not many people should know me. Why does this person know me?

"Ouch, my back hurts so much! Who are you, you brat?!"

At this moment, Qin Kou San Niao, who had been kicked away by Naoto, got up from the ground with a pained expression.

Naoto's kick just now almost knocked him out. Now that he's finally managed to get up, he finds out that the one who kicked him was actually a guy wearing a leather suit.

"It was you!"

At this moment, Naoto also saw the person's face clearly. Although at first he just felt that the face looked familiar, he later remembered that this was the person he had met in Sakuta's cafe last time.

Surprisingly, it was this person who was selling his comics.

Thinking about it carefully, he does fit the bill quite well. After all, this person stole so many of Yuan Kou's drawings. If this particular drawing was still in Yuan Kou's possession, there's no reason why he wouldn't steal it.

However, Naoto didn't expect that when he called Enkou last time, Enkou didn't mention that the manuscript had disappeared.

Was it because you didn't notice, or were you too embarrassed to say it?

"Who are you! How dare you kick me!"

"Who am I? You bastard, do you want me to teach you a lesson? I already taught you a lesson at the coffee shop last time, but you still dare to cause trouble this time, and even dare to sell comics in my name?! It seems that this time I have no choice but to send you to the police station."

"A coffee shop?!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Kou suddenly remembered what happened a month ago: he had tried to extort money from someone, but was stopped by a despicable brat.

"You're that brat who impersonated ONE?! Well, what a small world!"

"Impersonating ONE?"

Upon hearing Qin Kou's words, the people around him looked at Zhi Ren with curiosity.

The fat otaku who had shown the manga to Naoto before felt something was off.

"You're saying I'm impersonating ONE?"

"Isn't that right? Last time in the coffee shop, he had the audacity to call himself ONE, it was absolutely laughable! He's just a brat!"

Upon hearing Qin Kou's words, Naoto looked at the guy with a strange expression. Naoto had previously thought that this person was just bad, but he didn't expect that this person was also stupid.

After I taught this guy a lesson, he didn't even bother to investigate me. I really don't know how he hasn't been arrested yet.

"I'm telling you, don't you dare ruin my plans! Or I'll beat you up!"

Seeing Qin Kou still shouting, Zhi Ren really couldn't stand it anymore.

Making money under his own name is one thing, but daring to threaten him? And claiming he's fake, he's truly hopeless.

"You're saying I'm an imposter, right? Fine, then you'll see for yourself today whether I'm an imposter or not!"
