Cartoonists and their assistants

Both of them, as assistants, immediately felt much more relaxed.

However, when the assistants saw Yuriko Tsukishita, their attitude was naturally not so casual.

Although the two people in front of them were young, they were undoubtedly seniors in the industry, and everyone treated them with great respect.

"Teacher Yuexia, it is a great honor to meet you. Please take good care of me!"

"Ms. Yuriko! I've heard so much about you! Please take care of me!"

After that, the two young assistants went to exchange experiences with the veteran assistants.

The childhood friends then started chatting with Kazuka Konno, who generously showed them her painting skills, her experience in finding inspiration, and her well-planned daily routine.

"This is all thanks to Sasa Ei; she really helped me reduce a lot of my burden."

Kazuka Konno smiled sweetly.

This changed the duo's impression of that person.

Although very strict, he is first-rate in all aspects. He can not only coordinate all his assistants well, but also has a very meticulous mind.

However, even someone like her couldn't achieve her dream.

Mizuki Machi's eyes flashed, and he shook his head inwardly.

No, it must be that she saw her best friend's talent, which is why she was willing to play a supporting role.

But making such a decision also requires courage; not everyone can let go of that mindset.

Therefore, the two men felt a greater sense of respect for their assistant.

I stayed in the studio for more than an hour.

As the conversation dwindled, he exchanged glances with Eriri before deciding to retreat.

"Mr. Konno, that's about it. We should head back now."

"Hey, are you leaving already?"

Kazuka Konno adjusted his glasses, his expression revealing obvious disappointment.

"Then let's stay a little longer."

He turned his head and glanced at the girl's expression.

"thank you all!"

Konno Kazuka's face lit up with joy.

"By the way... Mizuki, Sawamura, can we be considered friends now?"

"of course."

He affirmed.

"Great! I finally have a friend again, besides Sasa."

"How childish."

Eriri couldn't help but mentally complain.

"By the way, how has your relationship progressed lately?"

Just then, Konno Kazuka clapped his hands together, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.

The only way she could think of to relieve her loneliness was to tease others.

It was like this before, and it is like this now.

Even Eriri was immune to it, and immediately retorted, "Konno-sensei, let's talk about love first before we discuss this kind of topic!"

"If there's a chance..."

Kazuka Konno looked embarrassed.

After chatting for a while longer, it was finally time to say goodbye.

After all, this is taking up the other party's working time and making their assistant come for further training, so they are the ones who are taking advantage.

Goodbye~!

She reluctantly said goodbye to everyone at the door.

"Black Cat, Sakura, what did you find?"

On the way home, Mizuki Machi asked.

"Yes, I've learned some lessons."

Ruri Gokou thought for a moment and said.

"They're all so amazing, their drawing skills are incredible..."

Sakura Chiyo was still in awe.

"Without a story, no matter how well it's drawn, it's useless."

"Itsuki Ruri said coldly."

"Ah...that's true."

Sakura Chiyo gave an awkward smile.

Eriri furrowed her brow.

Is this guy subtly mocking me?

......

Two weeks later.

While Mizuki Machi was in class, she received a message.

[Zhenzhi, let's have lunch together on the rooftop today!]

【I see. 】

"Gah..."

The iron gate was slowly pushed open.

Apart from a water tank, there was nothing else on the huge rooftop.

A blonde girl with twin ponytails stood in front of a barbed wire fence, looking up at the sky through her narrow view. A gentle breeze ruffled her bangs, and her snow-white skin shimmered in the sunlight—a beautiful CG image straight out of a visual novel.

"You came."

"I am coming."

This dialogue makes you think the following scene is some kind of duel between heroes.

He muttered to himself, then sat down on the ground to the side.

The girl took out a cloth and placed it on the ground, then covered her skirt with her hands and sat down very elegantly.

As expected of a young lady!

Sometimes, he still gets that feeling.

"Is there something you need from me today?"

"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"

"Not really, but I think Eriri must have something to ask me, given her personality."

"You talk as if you know me perfectly!"

After exchanging a few words, the two opened their lunchboxes.

The girl's gaze unconsciously fell down.

He keenly perceived this.

Are you concerned about my lunchbox?

"No."

"Oh, I was going to let you try my cooking, but since you don't mind, then forget it."

"Since you've said that, I'll give you face! Perfect, let me see if you're just talking the talk... If it tastes bad, I'll just spit it all over you."

"nausea."

Eriri moved quickly, smiled slyly, grabbed a large meatball, and stuffed it into her mouth.

I finally got to taste the food that Zhenzhi made himself!

And it was surprisingly delicious...

So satisfying.

"How's my cooking?"

Seeing her expression, Mizuki Machi asked.

"It's just so-so, I can't really taste the difference. Let me try again..."

Without showing any emotion, the girl picked up another one.

"Hmm...it seems like it's still a bit lacking."

"Come on! If you keep eating, you'll finish it all!"

"It's no big deal! I'll just share some of the bento that Gasang made with you."

Because the taste was better than expected, she stopped pretending and picked up her chopsticks again, intending to take more.

"no!"

He reacted quickly and intercepted the attack with his chopsticks.

The girl's eyes were sharp; she was determined not to give up until she achieved her goal.

"pia...pia...pia..."

The two went back and forth, their chopsticks clattering together, until she finally lost the struggle.

"You lost. Now I'm going to take my spoils."

He then took more food from the girl's lunchbox.

"How can it be repaired?"

The girl let out a wail.

I'm going to go hungry today!

......

After a while, the two changed the subject.

"Zhenzhi, do you remember that book we read before called 'Love Metronome'?"

"remember."

"I recently checked, and it's been on sale for two months, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of a reprint..."

"Are you trying to help her?"

He understood.

"That's right! The quality is clearly very good, but the sales are so poor... I can't accept it! I want to see what happens next!"

The girl clenched her fists, her expression one of resentment.

"If you want to do it, then go ahead and do it. You don't need to ask me."

He waved his hand away.

"Hehe, after all, Yuriko under the moon is two people, so I still need to ask for your opinion."

The girl smiled and acted cute.

Later, Yuriko Tsukishita posted a tweet specifically recommending the work "Love Metronome," with the caption:
