Cartoonists and their assistants

"No wonder Bobo was so concerned. It turns out he felt it was wrong to 'stand by and watch someone die,' but in that situation, there was nothing he could do."

"Everyone is blaming themselves, including Popovich."

"Speaking of which, could it be that An Ming is planning to seduce Jinta, something only he can do?!"

"I don't think so, because it's impossible to confess now. The key point is 'that day'. We only have some excerpts so far, which is not comprehensive enough. I guess An Ming will have to tell the story."

Readers are still primarily concerned with the continued existence of Menma.

Some people think becoming a ghost is not bad, but others think becoming a Buddha and being reincarnated would be better. After all, you can't guarantee that you can exist forever as a ghost, and it's meaningless if no one else can see you.

There was even a poll on Twitter about this.

However, the final result was still a 50/50 split.

.......

On the second day.

Sakura Chiyo only prepared for a short while, and after confirming that her outfit was okay, she headed to her destination according to the address given by Mizuki-san.

"Wow~"

She saw the inscription "Ze and Guan" on the document, looked up, and instinctively gasped in surprise.

"It's a villa!"

Using such a nice living environment as a studio is beyond the imagination of an ordinary person like her.

She took a deep breath, opened the iron gate, and went into the courtyard to ring the doorbell.

"Welcome, Sakura-san, this is our secret base."

Mizuki Machi appeared before her and smiled slightly.

"This has broadened my horizons..."

Sakura Chiyo said weakly.

At this moment, the two people from the upstairs studio also came down.

"Come in, don't stand in the doorway blocking the way."

Eriri urged.

"oh oh."

She entered the villa and was immediately struck by its various anime-style decorations, which broadened her horizons.

"Hello, I am Sahoto Ashisu. I am currently working as a teacher's assistant. Nice to meet you."

Both the sands and the feet came before him.

"Yes, I'm Sakura Chiyo, nice to meet you!"

The girl said somewhat flusteredly.

Afterwards, as usual, they first showed the girl around the villa before letting her enter the studio to begin learning how to be an assistant from Ms. Ashisu.

"Miss Ashisu, what tasks does the assistant need to perform?"

She asked first.

"Painting black, white, adding halftone dots, drawing backgrounds... the assistant has a lot of work to do."

Ashisaki Saho answered meticulously.

"Is it that much trouble?"

"It's already pretty good. If you meet some cartoonists, they might even ask you to do some odd jobs or run errands."

"Isn't that a servant?"

"Yes, but such job opportunities are something many people would love to do."

"I see......"

Sakura Chiyo then realized the cruelty of reality.

"For now, just watch from the side. If you don't understand anything, just tell me. You're just an intern right now. I can only entrust you with these skills once you've truly mastered them..."

"Itsuka Saho said slowly."

79 But she calls me Onii-chan!

She's a responsible and cool older sister.

Would someone like that become a cartoonist's assistant?

Sakura Chiyo blushed secretly as she looked at that indifferent pretty face.

However, it's best not to speak too deeply with someone you don't know well, and she wasn't foolish enough to ask such a question at this time.

Sakura Chiyo spent the rest of the morning studying.

"How are you feeling? Are you adjusting well?"

When they went downstairs to rest, Mizuki Machi asked this question.

His invitation was not coercive. If the other party couldn't adapt, it would be better to part amicably to avoid conflicts that would make things awkward for both parties.

"It should... be okay, right?"

"Don't use such ambiguous language. If it's okay, it's okay; if it's not okay, it's not okay."

Eriri walked over at that moment, her serious expression giving her a teacher-like air of authority.

"Well, I feel like I can master black and white coloring very quickly, but I think it's very difficult to draw the background well."

Sakura Chiyo immediately adopted a more respectful attitude.

"That's quite normal. Miss Ashisu also spent a lot of time and effort to become proficient. The key question is, can you handle this workload?"

"OK!"

"That's good. We'll sign a contract then, so don't try to run away halfway through!"

Guan Yuezhen knew evil and smiled.

Sakura Chiyo swallowed hard in fear.

She felt like she had completely fallen into someone's trap!

"Don't worry, even though it's a part-time job for newbies, the pay won't be low, it'll be around..."

Eriri came over and patted her on the shoulder, a faint smile on her lips.

"Please continue to guide me in the future!"

Upon hearing the number, Sakura Chiyo immediately agreed.

Mizuki Machi and Eriri exchanged a knowing smile, their unspoken understanding unspoken.

After having lunch, they sent Sakura Chiyo home.

In the short term, the other party's skills are not yet of use, so they plan to have the other party come and learn when they have time, and then take over the work when they have reached a certain level.

"Oh no, I forgot to ask the teachers questions!"

On her way home, Sakura Chiyo realized this and was very annoyed.

.......

The day before the comic convention.

"Miss Asashisu, tomorrow is Summer Comic. We made a promise before, remember?"

Mizuki Machi talked about this with her assistant.

"Of course I remember... um, is there anything I need to prepare?"

Shisu Saho asked cautiously.

"No, that's not necessary, but if I come across a doujinshi that I like, my regular small bag won't be able to hold it."

he reminded.

"I understand."

Both Shisu Saho nodded.

"Also, Bibi invited me before, so we'll be with Bibi again tomorrow."

Eriri added happily.

"Tsukimi-sensei?"

The assistant had a very good impression of the teacher.

"Ding dong."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

.......

"Nice to meet you. I am Sahono Ashisu. I am grateful for your help, sister."

Wearing overalls and appearing to be an elementary school girl, she smiled sweetly and bowed politely in greeting.

This time, the visitor first introduced himself, and Eriri was confident that she wouldn't mistake him for someone else.

But having already made the mistake twice, she decided to confirm first, asking, "Miss Ashisu, is this really your sister?"

"It's definitely my sister; it shouldn't be someone impersonating her."

Apart from the childhood friend giving a sly smile, the Asahi sisters all had rather strange expressions.

"Sahono, why are you here?"

Zusu Sasuke looked puzzled.

"Yahoo~ I'm late because it's summer vacation!"

Saho explained with a grin, then looked at him.

"You must be Brother Yuexia?"

"I'm."

"You're as young as the legends say! Can I call you 'Onii-chan'?"

The girl clasped her hands together beside her ears, looked at him with adoration, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes that Mizuki Machi had encountered such a problem.

Honestly, this is incredibly tempting for a sister-obsessed person who doesn't have a younger sister.

"Ah, go ahead and call me whatever you want, it doesn't matter."

He couldn't help but agree.

Aha?

Why would you call someone "Onii-chan" as soon as you meet them?

Where did this vixen come from?!

Eriri, standing nearby, was internally frustrated.

"Come on, Onii-chan, let's play together!"

Saho took his arm very enthusiastically and walked inside.

“Sawamura-sensei, it’s okay. Saho is just a child and has no ulterior motives.”

Saho Ashisu realized something and quickly defended her sister.

"Miss Ashisu, what are you saying? How could I possibly argue with a child!"

Eriri forced a smile as she spoke.

......

"The room is really big! My sister is so lucky to be able to stay in a villa!"
