In the following period of time, Hachiman also began to write his own light novels.

At the beginning, Hachiman also asked Akito about the writing methods of light novels and discussed some of the creations.

After absorbing experiences from all sides and using his own stories and templates, Hachiman's creation became faster and faster.

Gradually, Hachiman's first light novel was finally completed.

When Hachiman submitted this light novel, no one knew what the final outcome of this light novel would be.

This light novel is based on Hachiman himself, and Hachiman named it "Goodbye! Mr. Despair"

If Naoto knew about this, he would probably be shocked.

After all, the work Mr. Despair was actually created by Hachiman.

Although it is a bit strange that the original manga became a light novel, this work that shines so brightly in the original world actually appeared with Naoto's slight interference. Perhaps, this is the wings of a butterfly.

While Hachiman was writing a new novel, Naoto was also thinking about what kind of work he should create.

After the completion of "Parasyte", Naoto felt that his thinking had stagnated and he had no idea what kind of comics he should create.

This also caused concern among the JUMP editorial department.

Chapter 125: Iron-willed Nanzijiang

"Honey? What's wrong with you? Why do you seem so listless?"

At Saiki's house, Saiki's father at this moment was just like the protagonist of Asumi no Joe, and his whole body seemed to have lost color.

Nan Zi was not too worried about her father's recent condition. Instead, she was just eating the coffee jelly in her hand, looking uninterested.

Looking at Nan Zi's indifferent expression, Saiki's father sighed again. It seemed that life was filled with desolation.

"Isn't this all because of Naoto? It's been so long, and there's still no new comics created. To be honest, I'm very anxious."

If you ask why Saiki's father is so depressed, in fact, a large part of it is just pretend.

Of course, there is indeed a sense of urgency in it.

If it were any other comic book writer, Saiki's father wouldn't be too anxious. Even if there were no updates for a few years, it wouldn't be a big problem for them.

After all, when it comes to serialization, there will always be capable people following suit. One more or one less won’t make much difference. For an experienced editor, this kind of thing is no big deal.

But what if this person were replaced by the current pillar of JUMP?

Among the current JUMP comics authors, there are four who are particularly capable.

If we change it into a ranking list, Niizuma would be second, Fukuda Shinta would be third, Kou and Akito would sometimes be third, but they would probably be fourth.

And the strongest king is undoubtedly Naoto.

After Naoto stopped updating the comics, the editorial department seemed to lose some passion. Even Saiki's father felt that his life seemed to be empty.

Recently, the editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief have been asking Saiki's father about various things, hoping to get from him when Naoto will serialize a new comic.

You should know that when Naoto was still serializing, JUMP's sales even increased by 10%.

No matter which magazine this is, it is an extremely terrifying number.

But after Naoto finished, the number started to decrease again. Doesn't this make the editors and others anxious?

But how could he possibly know about such a thing?

After all, a cartoonist's inspiration is not something that can be easily obtained.

The more famous the cartoonist is, the slower the update frequency. For best-selling cartoonists, updating comics is just a pastime.

Or is it considered making extra money?

Updating once every few months is considered fast, not to mention starting a new book.

And with Naoto updating so quickly, how is it possible for him to create a comic so quickly?

Although Saiki's father had contacted Naoto, Naoto said he had no idea and could not think of any inspiration.

This made Saiki's father very annoyed. He couldn't force Naoto to draw comics. Besides, the most annoying thing for these cartoonists is that someone keeps asking questions, which can easily make the inspiration they have worked so hard to get disappear.

"Maybe Naoto is too tired from drawing comics lately? Ready to take a break?"

The mama-san couldn't help but speculate about what her husband looked like.

"Maybe, but at least give me some definite information. Ah~ It would be great if someone could help me ask. Who is it? Who is it?"

At this time, Saiki's father kept turning his gaze towards Nanko who was eating.

Because the gaze was too obvious and intense, Nan Zi couldn't ignore it.

Sometimes Nan Zi wondered if she had spoiled her father too much. Why did she have to do even this kind of thing?

No, I can't help with this matter no matter what.

Seeing that Kusunoko was still indifferent, Saiki's father had no choice but to use his trump card.

"Oh, by the way, Mom, where are the two boxes of coffee jelly that my company sent me a few days ago? Oh, if I don't eat them now, they will go bad."

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Saiki's mother hasn't reacted to Saiki's father's sudden change of subject. How come the comic turned to coffee jelly?

"Yes, yes. It is said that this jelly was made by a high-end French pastry chef and was specially made to reward us editors. It's a pity that I don't know where it is now. Where did it go?"

When hearing the words "French high-end desserts, customized", "coffee jelly", Nan Zi's hand holding the milk was trembling slightly.

It's the same trick again, every time. Nan Zi has had enough of this father.

But the coffee jelly, custom-made by a top French pastry chef... No, I can’t think about it anymore.

At this time, Qi Mu's father said to his mother again: "It's so strange. The coffee chocolate and high-end jelly machine I ordered from the Internet are also missing. It's terrible. I bought these things specially. It would be great if someone could help me remember them."

At this moment, Nan Zi felt as if a string of reason had been broken.

It’s not that Nan Zi has no conscience, it’s just that the enemy’s attack was too fierce!

This trick really works every time on Nan Zi.

"This is the last time."

There was really no other way, so Kusunoki could only teleport to Naoto's room.

Looking at his daughter who had already set off, Qi Mu's father smiled slightly.

"Humph, a little kid is fighting with me."

"Dad, shouldn't you explain to me where the money for the premium coffee chocolate and premium jelly machine comes from?"

Just as Qi Mu's father was looking at Nan Zi who was leaving with a smug look on his face, he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming from behind him.

At this time, Qi Mu's mother was looking at Qi Mu's father with a smile on her face.

But in the eyes of Saiki's father, behind his mother was an evil ghost wearing an evil ghost mask and holding a dagger in his hand.

"Listen, let me explain!"

..............................

When Nanko came to Naoto's room, she saw Naoto concentrating on the draft in his hand.

The small desk that belonged to Naoto was now piled with various discarded manuscripts that were almost one meter high.

"Naoto, are you okay?"

Seeing Naoto so focused, Kusunoki carefully responded to Naoto with telepathy and asked him a question.

At this moment, Naoto seemed to wake up from a dream. He came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked at Kusunoki in surprise.

"Eh? Nanzi, when did you come over? Did I miss a date? I'm so sorry, I've been a little busy lately."

At this time, Naoto hurriedly packed up the manuscript papers on his desk. He now thought that he had missed his date with Kusunoki.

Chapter 126: Creating a Perfect Hero

"Don't be nervous. We don't have a date this week."

"Huh~ That's good, I thought I missed something."

After hearing what Nan Zi said, Naoto finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the chair tiredly.

I originally thought that Naoto would be relieved after the end.

But Naoto is not at ease at all. He has been worried about the ideas for the new comics recently.

But Naoto is not very satisfied with every comic.

If you want to surpass it, there must be at least a comic that can be on par with Parasyte, but there are so few of them that Naoto would give up after writing the beginning of each article.

At this time, Nan Zi looked at the drafts on Naoto's desk and found that each one was quite interesting.

If it is put in the current JUMP, even if it is not a masterpiece, it is still a good work.

But even so, Naoto was not satisfied.

"So Nanzi, what brings you here today?"

"Can't I come if there's nothing else?"

"No, it's just that I..."

Nan Zi couldn't help laughing when she saw Naoto looking a little helpless.

Sure enough, no matter what time it is, playing a prank on Naoto is always a very interesting thing.

"Okay, it's nothing serious. My dad just wanted to ask if you have any ideas for a new comic. But it seems like you probably don't have any ideas right now."

Looking at the draft papers all over the desk, no matter how hard I think about it, it doesn't look like he has an idea, right? Otherwise, Naoto wouldn't be so distressed now.

"Uh, is Uncle Saiki getting impatient? Yeah, that's right. After all, such a long time has passed. Although I have some ideas for the new comic, I'm actually a little undecided."

"Naoto, are you still undecided?"

"You know me. What I hate most is making decisions."

At this point, Naoto took out a draft that he had kept in his drawer for a long time.

In fact, Naoto had already created this work a long time ago, but for various reasons, he never drew it.

In fact, this draft was created just the day after "Bloodline" was created.

Originally, Naoto thought that if "Bloodline" failed, he would just draw this comic.

But what I didn’t expect was that after so much time, I still hadn’t finished drawing this comic.

"what is this?"

At this time, Nan Zi took the draft from Naoto in confusion, and found that the protagonist on it was a man with a weird egg-like hairstyle.

"Nanzi, what do you think if I create a perfect hero?"

Naoto did not answer Kusunoki's question, but instead spoke slowly as if he was asking himself.

As mentioned in the previous plot, a big part of the reason why Naoto named himself ONE was because of his admiration for ONE.

When talking about ONE, we cannot avoid this one, ONE's most famous work - "One Punch Man".

ONE teacher is a very unique cartoonist.

When he was creating the comic One Punch Man, he could be described as having no drawing skills at all.

Even if you find an elementary school student, he can definitely draw better than ONE.

However, even with such a nearly zero painting skill, he still has top-notch storyboards and stories.

Using completely unappealing drawing skills, he managed to create a comic that shocked everyone.

As someone who has read the original One Punch Man novel to the end, Naoto has no reservations about his admiration for ONE.

The story and spirit expressed beneath the crude painting skills are something that cannot be matched by the current remake.

So when drawing this draft, Naoto was on pins and needles. If he didn't do it well, he would become the second Murata.

Someone who has good painting skills but cannot understand the connotation of One Punch Man will not be able to complete this work well.

For Naoto, who has already finished drawing Parasyte, completing One Punch Man is undoubtedly a more difficult task than creating Parasyte.

The biggest reason is that Teacher ONE has not finished!
