Cartoonists and their assistants

"The way you're talking makes it sound like you know everything!"

"I understand it better than you do."

"Huh? Your tone is really unpleasant. No wonder no one talked to you before."

"Aren't you the same? Dressed so extravagantly, people who don't know better would think you're here on a date."

The two argued for a while.

After Makishima Saori understood the situation, she turned back to check on the two of them.

"Mr. Xiaotongtong, Ms. Heimao, if it's possible, could you please attend our next gathering?"

"You don't need to ask me about this, there's only one person here who's not involved."

Ruri Gokou glanced at someone sideways and said meaningfully.

"Eh!?"

Kosaka Kirino was shocked and confused.

131 Brand New Team

After changing locations, the group arrived at a more spacious coffee shop.

Kirino Kousaka sat in the innermost seat, took a sip of her drink, and glanced suspiciously at the others.

From their appearance, there was nothing special about them, but from the previous conversation, she vaguely realized that something was wrong with these people!

"So, what is the administrator's purpose?"

she couldn't help but ask.

"Because I noticed that you two hadn't been talking much earlier, and you happened to be having a lively discussion about 'Anohana,' I thought I'd give you two a chance to chat a bit more. That's how it is... But I never expected to run into the person in question here."

As Makishima Saori answered her question, some words of emotion slipped out unconsciously, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

"Huh? The main person?"

Kosaka Kirino frowned.

"Does being tall mean being more careless? What a reckless fool."

Ruri Gokou glanced at her and said sarcastically.

"Hug, sorry."

Saori Makishima looked at the man and woman opposite her.

"It's okay, everyone knows, but it would be too pitiful if she were the only one who didn't know."

Eriri showed her magnanimity.

Only Mizuki Shinichi understood that this was actually the girl's psychological need to fulfill the desire for a supernatural manifestation.

"Could it be that you are..."

Kirino Kousaka was quick-witted; she realized what was happening and looked shocked.

"Under the moon."

"Yuriko."

Even if someone is there to play the straight man, they still have to accept it.

"You guys aren't all in cahoots to scam me, are you?"

Kirino Kousaka didn't choose to believe him immediately, just like Ms. Kuroneko had done before.

Because no ordinary person would trust others so easily.

Eriri quickly took out her phone and logged into her account to prove her identity.

"It's the real her! Ms. Yuriko Tsukishita, I'm your fan! Can you give me an autograph?"

After confirming it, she immediately transformed into a fanatical fan, supporting herself with her hands as she stood up.

"It's possible, but there's no need to rush."

Mizuki Machi reached out his hand.

"It's just a signature. If you want it, I can give it to you."

Eriri gave a smug smile.

After their identities were confirmed, Makishima Saori's plan to bring the two autistic girls closer together failed.

Kirino Kousaka had completely lost interest in communicating with Ruri Gokou, focusing all her attention on Yuriko Tsukishita.

"Well, building good relationships with the teachers will have the same effect, right?"

She could only console herself with this thought.

"Alright, stop taking up my precious time. I'm here today to celebrate the successful anime adaptation..."

After enduring for a while, Gokou Ruri couldn't help but stop Kousaka Kirino.

"I'm also here to assess your work abilities, Black Cat."

Guan Yue Zhenzhi followed suit.

"Assessing work ability?"

Kosaka Kirino looked confused.

"Miss Black Cat is our chosen assistant."

He replied.

"Just her?"

Kirino Kousaka looked at him with disdain.

"just me."

Ruri Gokou suppressed her anger and said.

"Alright, alright, Ms. Tongtong and Ms. Black Cat, today's exchange is over! It's time for the next segment."

Saori Makishima clapped her hands, stopping the two.

Although the two were unruly, they were too embarrassed to act recklessly in front of Yuriko Tsukishima.

"Mitsuki, Sawamura, congratulations! The related trend on Twitter is rising rapidly! The anime adaptation is a huge success!"

"You too, Bibi, the production quality of 'Maschera' is not bad either."

"Hehe, I'm still a bit behind you guys."

.......

The conversation among the group began.

Kirino Kousaka finally figured out everyone's identities, and felt both excited and relieved.

I never expected that my impulsive decision to attend this tea party would lead me to meet one of my favorite authors, as well as another famous cartoonist...

Today is her lucky day!

After the celebration ended, Eriri also evaluated the black cat's work ability.

In the end, the black cat passed the test.

"We'll officially start work next week, and then we'll sign the contract."

"I am wise enough to remind you," said Guan Yuezhenzhi.

"Yes."

A smile appeared on Ruri Gokou's tense face.

After that, they took a stroll around Akihabara.

Kirino Kousaka even bought a complete set of Anohana manga volumes and had Yuriko Tsukishita sign them before leaving satisfied with everyone from Chiba.

......

After having fun, it's time to return to reality.

Mizuki Machi gave Eriri the second episode of "Your Lie in April" titled "NAME," and Eriri significantly reduced her visits to the art club, focusing her energy on her main job.

In the past few days, the trend related to the BGM of "Anohana" has been rising, and the discussion has not subsided.

Five days later.

They received good news from the editor.

The animation was very well done, and sales of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" are skyrocketing, leading to a new reprint soon.

And this trend is likely to continue.

"Won't the final volume of 'Anohana' average the number of readers reach several million?"

Eriri couldn't help but gasp at her own idea.

"One million would put you in the top 100, two million in the top 200... You really have a good head for this! But it's not impossible."

Mizuki Masashi conducted a rational analysis.

In this world, "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" is an original manga, and the quality of both the manga and the anime adaptation far surpasses that of its predecessor, so it's reasonable that it achieved even greater success.

However, this is only the average per volume; the most attention-grabbing data is still the total number of comics sold.

"The song that Zhenzhi wrote really worked! I didn't expect it to fit so perfectly. Now I'm starting to wonder, could it really all be something you dreamed about, Zhenzhi?"

Eriri is starting to have an existential crisis.

"Are you having a fit of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?"

He retorted, which was unusual for him.

"Damn it, didn't you say that yourself?"

"I was just teasing you. Who told you not to believe me before?"

"I don't believe you now either. I was just teasing you!"

The girl laughed.

'Fine, you're still playing this trick on me.'

Mizuki Maki secretly plotted in his heart.

This girl has really grown up; she's learned from experience and isn't as easy to deal with as before.

......

Saturday has arrived.

Yuriko Tsukishima arrived at the secret base first to wait.

Next to arrive was Sakura Chiyo, and Gokou Ruri was the last to arrive.

"Don't be nervous, relax. If anything goes wrong, Eriri will let you know and then we'll correct it."

Mizuki Machi could see the state of the two, so she offered them some psychological support.

"There's no need to rush. We can work things out for a while first."

Eriri, adopting the demeanor of a teacher, spoke calmly.

"Yes!"

Sakura Chiyo and Gokou Ruri took a deep breath and responded at the same time.

The 132nd anniversary of the 100th anniversary is highly anticipated!

This was Ruri Gokou's first time working as an assistant. Although she had been training in private for a long time, it wasn't practical work, so it wouldn't matter if she made a mistake.

But now, if she makes a mistake, it will affect the quality of the finished comic, or even worse.

Therefore, she remained tense.

“Miss Black Cat, I was a little nervous when I first tried it, but it’s really not that difficult. Once you get used to it, you’ll find it’s not hard at all.”
