Cartoonists and their assistants

Eriri prepared to express her gratitude.

"It's not my achievement; it's just that you're different from ordinary cartoonists, and publishers have higher hopes for you."

Minamoto shook his head.

There is no such thing as unwarranted favoritism; the halo of being the youngest manga artist in history should rightfully bring such benefits to Yuriko Tsukishita.

"Indeed, it's mainly because Zhenzhi and I are both too amazing."

Eriri had no intention of being modest and immediately started boasting.

"hehe."

He laughed.

The meaning behind it is clear to everyone.

At that moment, Minamoto suddenly remembered something else important.

"Why hasn't the final chapter been submitted yet? It's been a long time since you've submitted a manuscript this late."

"For the final episode, we don't want to leave any regrets, so we'll do our best!"

Eriri's eyes were sharp, and her expression was firm.

Minamoto stared at her for a few seconds.

"I understand. Remember to submit it to me before the deadline next week, otherwise, if you miss the deadline, it will have to be postponed to next month."

"Don't worry, Ms. Minano, I'm not that confused."

107 treasures buried in the past have been discovered!

Once the voice actor selection issue is resolved, they won't need to go to the animation company for the time being.

Eriri was able to use the little time she had left to complete all the redrawing.

It was at this time that a post on Twitter by a fan of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" attracted everyone's attention.

I will always love Meiko: Minna-san, first of all, I want to say that I am a huge fan of Yuriko Tsukishita and also a native of Chichibu City. So after watching Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day, I knew that the filming locations were in Chichibu City. So, in order to find the location corresponding to each scene, I traveled all over Chichibu City. However, I could not find the secret base. It seemed to be completely fictional... However, on this day, when I came to search a small hill nearby, I found a flat area that looked like it had been dug up. So I went over and dug up the soil, and then I found a 'treasure' there.

The fan also attached a photo to it.

Two boxes sat quietly in the mound of earth.

"Could it be a hidden stash of gold? It's full of gold!"

"You didn't put it there yourself, did you?!"

"I don't believe it. It seems like a deliberate publicity stunt. Who would put something in a place like that for no reason?"

"Are you trying to create a big news story? By the way, it hasn't been opened yet? What's inside?"

Netizens below shared their thoughts.

The fan then replied: I've already opened it, and there are only two notes inside, but it is indeed a 'treasure' in my heart. However, I'm not sure if what's written inside is true. I hope to find Teacher Yuexia to verify it.

"What the heck? It's related to Ms. Yuriko Tsukishita?"

"Could it be that the teacher buried it?! No way!"

"When is it? This is very important!"

"If it's true, that's so romantic! Could you please reveal the contents?"

Netizens responded with a series of comments.

Then many more people went to the official account of Yuriko Tsukishita and left a lot of comments.

......

Takasago Bookstore.

At this moment, Mizuki Machi is looking for a new book to read.

"Kanzuki, come here for a second, something's happened!"

Suddenly, the cashier waved and called out urgently.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

He walked over.

"Look at this."

Chie Takasago leaned forward, getting a little closer, and raised her phone, as if taking a selfie with the two of them.

He glanced to the side, and the distance between them closed again; if it weren't for the counter, they would almost be touching.

This feeling of closeness had occurred many times before, yet it still made the girl blush slightly with shyness.

"So that's how it is, so we've finally been discovered."

"Oh, so it's true!"

"That's right. When Eriri and I were filming the location, I suddenly had a brilliant idea, so I left a surprise for fans who might be disappointed in the future because they can't see the secret base."

Mizuki Machi hugged the back of her head with both hands and sighed.

"It sounds so romantic, and it's such a sweet treat for the fans. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to dig it up."

Chie Takasago's face showed a regretful expression.

"By the way, you guys hadn't even debuted yet back then, right? You were really confident."

"It was all destined."

"Hmph, what does it say on it? I'm very curious."

"I have no idea what Eriri wants to say either, so let this lucky person reveal it to the public."

He turned his head to the side and gave a mysterious smile.

"That's really something to look forward to."

The girl blinked, her gaze shifting slightly.

......

After buying the book, Mizuki Machi returned to the secret base and placed it on the bookshelf on the second floor.

However, considering that Eriri was focused on finishing her work and didn't want to hinder her inspiration, he didn't directly disturb her. Instead, he logged into the 'Tsukika Yuriko' account and posted a tweet—

"These two boxes were indeed left by us, but we don't know what's written on them... So, we're very curious and waiting for someone to dig them up and reveal them to the public someday."

As soon as this tweet came out, the fans below immediately went wild, pounding their chests in frustration and regretting that they weren't the ones who found the treasure. At the same time, a group of people found the fan's Twitter account and retweeted the message.

After receiving confirmation, the fan generously shared it publicly.

I will always love Meiko: I never imagined it was really written by both teachers! I am so touched! I will cherish this gift forever!

I will always love Meiko: This is what I took directly, you can see for yourselves.

He quickly uploaded images of two notes, the contents of which were—

Who will unearth this treasure? Our fans? Or some complete stranger? And when? Have we become manga artists yet? I don't know right now, but I believe I will definitely debut successfully in the future and become a very, very amazing manga artist... If not, please don't post this.

"Although this was a spur-of-the-moment decision, since it's a comment, I'll share some valuable information... I believe we will definitely debut, and the person who finds this gift will definitely be one of our fans. So, when our debut work is finished, you can receive a signed comic book and selected merchandise by showing this note."

Although neither note was signed, anyone with a modicum of comprehension could tell that the two people were different individuals.

"Haha, there's such a big difference in mental age between Ms. Tsukishita and Ms. Yuriko! They're clearly the same age, aren't they?"

"Yuriko-sensei leans towards dreams, while Tsukishima-sensei leans towards reality."

"I was moved after reading Yuriko-sensei's comment, and after reading Tsukishima-sensei's comment... I felt so jealous! Why wasn't it me?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the two teachers were right after all. But I never expected that the teacher would become a famous cartoonist right after his debut!"

"Yuriko-sensei's last sentence was so cute!"

"It's wonderful that the children's dreams can come true so quickly. The teacher is truly a blessed chosen one."

"I'm so touched... in every sense of the word."

On the internet, this sparked a huge wave of discussion.

Readers of Anohana have been sharing their thoughts.

This discovered treasure is also a gift to others. Seeing the inner journey of 'Yuriko Under the Moon' evokes a feeling of empathy.

at the same time.

During lunch break.

Eriri found out about this.

108 The final... submission

"Idiot! Why didn't you call me for something so important!"

The girl puffed up her cheeks angrily.

"There's no need to rush this kind of thing. If you're in a state of inspiration, interrupting it will only cause problems."

He explained.

"Hmph! You always have an excuse!"

The girl muttered something else, but didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, she took out her phone and searched for messages on Twitter, where she saw the content above.

As she flipped through the pages, her smile grew wider, and she blushed because of a comment that had been made about her.

"I was so naive back then! What were I saying? Isn't debuting a given?"

"You're still very childish now."

The girl caught someone seemingly muttering to himself and immediately glared at him.

"However, although we said 'giving a gift,' I didn't expect you to actually give one, Zhenzhi. You're so generous!"

"Because I've already figured it out, at this point, we can barely be considered to have achieved success and fame."

"Ha, you always say I'm arrogant, but someone else is clearly the one who is."

The girl pouted.

"What are the teachers talking about that they seem so engrossed in?"

Sakura Chiyo then came over and asked curiously.

The two told her.

"Wow, how romantic! That fan must be so happy!"

Her eyes immediately lit up.

At the dinner table that followed, Saho Ashisu also learned of the incident, and a similar expression appeared on her usually indifferent face.

Because such things are rare in reality, they made them feel the romance that only exists in so-called 'comic book plots'.

.......

A new week begins.

Early in the morning, Eriri woke up from her sleep, tidied her messy hair in the mirror, and then patted her cheeks to wake herself up.

"Only a few days left."

She had a strange feeling when she thought about it.

It's like that feeling of loss and disappointment when you see the ending of a comic book or novel.

Now, she will experience it in another form.

The rooftop during lunch break.

Guan Yuezhenzhi closed his eyes, leaning against the railing listening to the wind.

Beside her, Eriri leaned on the railing, looking completely listless.

"Eri, aren't you going to submit your manuscript yet?"

"The deadline is Sunday, there's no rush."
