Minato meets his ex-girlfriend

Since the commander's room was being monitored by Zuikaku's Zuiyun, such a box of small notebooks would definitely be discovered, so the commander had no choice but to move the box of notebooks to Nagashima's room.

"but……"

The commander glanced at Ximu who was still lying on the bed and hadn't woken up yet, "What happened to Ximu?"

"Maybe I'm too tired. The holiday is almost over and I had too much fun with everyone."

Changdao wiped a cold sweat.

She couldn't say that Ximu fainted because she was scared after seeing the notebook, right?

"Okay, let's put it here."

The commander pushed the box under Nagashima's bed and dusted off his hands.

He was sitting on a chair taking a rest, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Long Island."

"What's wrong? Commander?"

"Teacher Changdao, did you finish the manuscript at this time for Xia Comic?"

"Eh eh eh eh?"

Nagashima was stunned for a moment.

Summer comic, I have indeed thought about it.

dreaming.

"Otherwise, why would Mr. Changdao complete the manuscript at this time?"

The commander had an expression that said, 'I already understand it all.'

"But we can also sell them on doujinshi sales websites."

Nagashima explained.

She originally wanted to put it on a doujinshi sales website, sell the electronic version, and also sell a few physical copies to earn some pocket money.

"This is different."

The commander shook his head, "Sir, I'm sure you want to participate in the summer comic."

"Then what the commander means is..."

"Ms. Changdao has given us such a difficult task. We must help her catch up with the summer comic, meet her, and then help her sell this set of books in the summer comic."

“But it will open the day after tomorrow.”

Nagashima forced a smile, "It's too late for international delivery."

"Why is it too late?"

The commander slammed the table.

"Let's airlift the notebook to him!"

Chapter 226: Riding a Tiger (Part 3)

Long Island is numb.

Why does the Commander understand this?

Why do you think that the books will be sold at the Summer COMIC?

Nagashima pursed his cracked lips, "Commander, why are you so persistent?"

"Because Teacher Changdao gave us her original manuscript."

The commander held out the envelope.

It contains the original manuscript. It goes without saying what the manuscript represents to an artist.

"This is the first time I've seen the original manuscript of a book. Whether it's an animation, a book, or a comic, the manuscript is very important to the author, right?"

The commander confirmed to Nagashima.

Nagashima remained silent, and it was true.

Comic manuscripts are the most direct output value of cartoonists.

It is also the most important thing for cartoonists.

Not to mention hand-painted originals which are extremely rare.

“I thought it was just an unpublished electronic copy of a new journal, but it turns out there’s also a hand-drawn manuscript.”

The commander sighed, "This is the trust that Mr. Changdao has in us."

No, that's not the case.

Nagashima now wants to explain clearly that she simply doesn't have a digital tablet.

So it can only be hand-painted.

Although I made a lot of money, I used it all to support my home-based hobby. I didn’t have time to buy a graphics tablet.

Even the scanned copies were secretly made using the scanner in the commander's office.

In order to create the sense of impact of the male character on the female character, Nagashima could only scrape dots and draw speed lines. The feeling of that hard work is something that new-age digital tablet artists cannot understand.

It all comes down to poverty.

This time, I also want to take advantage of the summer COMIC to make some money.

"Commander, even if this is the case, there is no need for human airlift, right?"

Nagashima whispered, "I can't even make back the cost of my flight and accommodation."

"This is trust. Mr. Changdao is a well-known artist in the industry. Even if I am just a volunteer, I have to hand these books over to him."

"..."

The commander looks too serious right now.

There are so many things to complain about that Changdao doesn’t know where to start.

"Wait a minute!"

Changdao realized the point, "Commander, what did you say? I want to hand these notebooks to him personally?"

"Yes, of course human air transport must deliver the items to the victim."

"But……"

But the real teacher of Changdao is right in front of him.

Where can Nagashima find the 'prostitute teacher' that the commander thinks of?

"I'm going to talk to Lao Meng and prepare to go to Sakura again."

The commander seemed to have made up his mind and he stood up.

"Nagashima, have a good rest. We will go together. After all, you are also an insider."

"...Thank you, Commander."

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

Under Nagashima's complicated gaze, the commander walked out of Nagashima's room.

Even though it was late at night, it was still hot outside.

Go back to your room, take a shower and go to bed.

………………

“It’s so hot…”

After the commander took a hot shower, he felt much cooler as soon as he came out of the bathroom.

After your hair is dry, turn on the air conditioner.

"ha--"

Lying in bed, I began to feel physically exhausted.

I accompanied KanColle to swim for three consecutive days, and stayed up late with Nagashima to print the book.

The mental fatigue makes it impossible to take a shower.

"sleep."

Tomorrow I will work with Nagashima to prepare for the summer COMIC for Changdao Sensei.

No, theoretically after twelve o'clock, it is already a new day.

The commander closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

………………

The next morning.

It was eight o’clock in the morning, the thirteenth day of the port closure.

"……Um?"

The sun shines in through the gaps in the curtains.

The commander yawned. It turned out that he slept too late yesterday and was very sleepy when he woke up at eight o'clock.

"Wash your face."

After spending twenty minutes washing up, the commander came to the cafeteria to have breakfast.

"Ah, Commander, good morning?"

Shokaku was sitting by the window drinking barley tea. When he saw the commander, he greeted him.

"Oh, good morning. Commander got up late today, so breakfast has been wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in the refrigerator."

Feng Xiang walked to the refrigerator to get breakfast for the commander.

"Feng Xiang, thank you."

The commander accepted the breakfast gratefully.

I was so busy printing books last night that I didn't even have dinner.

Now Commander, everything you eat tastes delicious.

Breakfast was bread with scrambled eggs and bacon, and the commander put the plate in the microwave to heat it up.

Pour another cup of barley tea and breakfast is complete.

The commander sat down next to Shokaku.

"I can have breakfast."

The commander chewed the bread, "It's such a blessing."

"Xiaobai, you came back very late last night, didn't you?"

Because it was vacation time, Shokaku simply called the commander Xiaobai.

"Well, I didn't go to bed until after twelve."

"What happened yesterday? Z23 said you and Nagashima went out for something..."

"I printed something with Nagashima yesterday about this."

The commander gave a brief explanation of the situation, but did not specify what was printed.

"and."

The commander took a sip of barley tea and said, "Nagashima and I are planning to go to Sakura City to participate in the Summer COMIC."

"what is that?"

Shoukaku was curious.

"Anime Expo."
