Cartoonists and their assistants

Eriri, aged 94, no longer wants to be treated like a child.

After a fierce battle.

"Kanzuki, you're amazing."

"The technology is much better than before."

Hearing the editor's praise, Mizuki Machi felt that her vanity in a certain aspect had been satisfied to the extreme.

All the hard work over this period of time has finally paid off.

The editor who used to be able to hold her own against him is no match for him anymore.

In that case, the day of revenge is not far off!

"Kanzuki, I want some snacks."

Minamoto Matsumura spoke in her clear, girlish voice.

It's like a younger sister being affectionate with her older brother.

In fact, that's exactly how Mizuki Machi feels right now.

Ms. Minano's appearance is so deceptive.

"Give."

"Only one pack?"

"The stock ran out, I forgot to buy more."

"Okay, then be prepared next time."

The game soon resumed.

It's no longer a two-player duel, but a two-player challenge.

"Kanzuki, what's your opinion on Ashisuke?"

During the journey, the editor suddenly brought up the matter of Ms. Zuxu.

"He is a responsible person with a good personality."

"Does it make you feel like you need a sister?"

"That's not true."

"That's it."

The conversation was interrupted.

Guan Yuezhenzhi harbored doubts.

What is Ms. Minano trying to say?

"What a pity, it turns out Mizuki is a siscon."

Just then, the editor's voice rang out again.

"Ms. Minano, how did you come to this conclusion... It's either the older sister or the younger sister?"

"Because I've already figured it out, Mizuki likes girls with young body types."

Minamoto's golden eyes stared directly at him.

"This is slander!"

He gritted his teeth.

"Then why are all the girls around you so petite?"

"It was just an accident. Isn't Ms. Minano short too?"

"So that's how it is. I was the target all along."

"what?"

"However, it's normal for the editor to sacrifice for the author. As long as it makes Mizuki happy, I can call you 'Onii-chan' too."

Minamoto blinked.

Seeing that she didn't change her expression, Mizuki Machi strongly suspected that she was being teased, so she retorted firmly, "I've already said, I'm not a siscon, nor am I a sistercon... If you insist, I just like cute girls."

"I see."

They all nodded heavily and said.

"It seems you are far bolder than I imagined, Mizuki. I really underestimated your ambition."

He was silent.

This is a complete misinterpretation of the meaning of his words!

......

After teasing him, the editor suddenly received a phone call, seemingly about work, so she left without even staying for lunch.

And after lunch.

"Sawamura-sensei, there's something I want to tell you..."

After some hesitation, Sakura Chiyo finally brought up the request that the art club president had made earlier.

"It's been a long time since I've been to the art club. I never thought that this ghost member like me would be remembered so much."

Eriri let out a long sigh.

"Because Sawamura-sensei's status is unparalleled."

Sakura Chiyo praised her again.

"Well, although I can't stay here permanently, it's not a bad thing to go and visit occasionally."

Eriri smiled and then said.

Her debut work is about to end, so she will have some free time coming up.

"What do you think, Zhenzhi?"

However, she still asked one more question.

"As long as you can manage your time well, that's fine."

Mizuki Machi didn't have any particular opinion on this.

.......

A new week begins.

Eriri went to the art club after school as agreed.

"Sawamura-kun, it's been a long time."

"Sawamura-kun, how have you been lately?"

As soon as she stepped into the club, the members rushed over to greet her, pushing Sakura Chiyo aside.

"haven't seen you for a long time......"

Eriri adopted her usual high-handed demeanor at school and dealt with everyone accordingly.

Then, under the guidance of the instructor, we began today's sketching practice.

This time, Eriri's painting skills surprised everyone.

"Whether it's the expression of lines, the handling of light and shadow, or the composition design, Sawamura has made great progress compared to last year. It seems that he has been practicing hard all this time. If Sawamura were willing to participate in the competition, he could at least win an award!"

The club's advisor praised it highly.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I don't have extra time to participate in the competition."

Eriri politely declined, though she had already long since looked down on the so-called competition.

She'd be better off drawing another page of comics with that time!

After staying for a while longer.

Eriri ended her club activities early and went to the secret base to show off to her childhood friend.

“Zhenzhi, do you know what kind of expressions everyone makes after seeing my paintings?”

"what expression?"

"They're all shocked; they're probably completely convinced by my strength!"

"Isn't that a matter of course?"

I'm speechless.

As a professional comic artist, compared to an average junior high school student, it's like a game-changer.

"To think she's still so proud of something like this, Eriri is still just a child."

"What? In my opinion, the most arrogant thing is true knowledge."

The girl looked dissatisfied and spoke her mind frankly.

"Hey, am I arrogant?"

"Isn't that right! You always act so arrogant and disdainful of everyone. When are you going to reflect on yourself?"

After saying those words, the girl turned and left.

"Arrogant and dismissive of everyone...?"

He muttered something to himself and reflected on it.

Because of my two lifetimes, I do sometimes view certain issues from the perspective of someone who is older.

This can indeed be described as a certain degree of arrogance.

Because he overlooked the fact that a girl's mind and body are also growing.

Eriri no longer wants to be treated like a 'child' by him.

Of course, this could also be just his misinterpretation.

After all, the most difficult thing to understand in this world is a girl's heart.

......

Late September.

They achieved a familiar position in the popularity rankings for this season of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day"—fifth place.

"This is the third time already! Is this our limit?"

Eriri wasn't happy about her improved ranking; instead, she felt quite melancholy.

"Everything was predicted by someone's jinx."

She pouted and turned her head to look.

"How can you call this a jinx? It just shows that I had foresight."

Guan Yuezhenzhi chuckled.

"We can only pin our hopes on the final episode; let's hope for a good ending."

The girl puffed out her cheeks and said.

"What you should be worried about is whether someone will send you razor blades later."

"Isn't that a problem with Tsukishita-sensei? What does it have to do with Yuriko, the artist I'm drawing?"

The legendary Shura Field of '95

In early October, Shimamura Junior High School plans to hold an autumn sports meet.

Is anyone planning to participate voluntarily?

The homeroom teacher scanned the expressions of the students and found that most of them avoided her gaze.

Only a small number of athletes who participated in sports clubs dared to raise their hands.
