Is it okay not to want to work hard?

"Phone, phone, phone, I found it!"

Goto Ichiri's eyes lit up. If he woke him up, his dream would be different when he went back to sleep.

In her dream, she had thought about asking Higashino Kanade for help, but it was easy for her to run out of the classroom but difficult to run back, after all, there was a monster teacher following her and she could not outrun him at all.

Goto Ichiri quietly went downstairs and called Higashino Kanade at the landline downstairs.

Late in the night, Higashino Kanade was awakened by the ringing of the phone in his dream. He looked at the incoming call from an unfamiliar number and wanted to refuse it, but after rubbing his hair and regaining his composure for three seconds, he finally answered the call.

It couldn't be a sales call so late at night. Either it was a wrong call or it was a ghost call. There was no problem in answering the former, but for the latter he could decide whether to exorcise it based on the situation to avoid the possibility of evil spirits harming people.

"Hey……"

"Is this Tono? I'm Goto. I'm sorry for disturbing you at night. I don't want to have that dream again. Can you just have a nice dream? No, just an ordinary dream will do."

As soon as Higashino Kanade said "Hello", the person on the other end of the phone couldn't wait to say a series of words. It could be heard that the person on the other end was very scared and there was a tone of crying in his voice.

"No need to apologize, and no need to use honorifics. Just talk to me like normal. I'm the one who should apologize and help you. It's okay. We're all awake now. We shouldn't have the same dream again."

Higashino Kanade was amused when he heard Goto Ichiri using honorifics to him in real life, so he comforted Pochi and asked how Pochi made the call. After knowing how Pochi made the call, he taught Pochi how to delete the call records.

The fact that he and Pochi were on the phone was not something that could be made public, so he couldn't tell Pochi's parents how he knew them. In order to avoid trouble, it would be better to be careful and not let Pochi's parents know about his existence.

What he didn't know was that when Bochi was calling, Bochi's mother had already woken up and was quietly listening to the conversation downstairs at the stairs on the second floor. Although she couldn't hear it clearly, she knew that Bochi must be talking to someone on the phone.

It's so late, is he calling? I don't have any friends in primary school, who can I call?

Doubts and fear arose in Michiyo Goto's heart, and one horrific urban legend after another emerged involuntarily in her mind.

Chapter 103 How do you know I'm a professional manga artist for Shonen Jump?

Higashino Kanade was painting the whole day today. From morning to afternoon, he was not heard except for eating, drinking water and going to the toilet.

It's not that he is so hardworking and diligent, but today is Xiaozheng's day out, and he is worried that he will be worried and have wild thoughts before editor Yoshida calls, so he forces himself to indulge in painting and cannot extricate himself.

He was the only one at home, and Uncle Soujiro had taken Konata and Korin to see an animated movie.

He didn't go because he wasn't in the mood to watch it. Although he really wanted to see that movie, he would do it next time. Before going to Shimokitazawa next week, he would ask Hongxia if she was free and ask her to watch it together.

After operating on P station for a period of time, after he published his first book "The Extraordinary Life of Childhood Taming", his fans reached 10,000. Now he is drawing congratulatory pictures for the 10,000 fans. He draws two pictures, one with clothes and the other also with clothes, but his clothes are cooler.

Pornographic pictures cannot be as meticulous as the emperor's new clothes, which need to be shown after much anticipation, and half-hidden behind the lute. Being too frank can easily make people bored after a while, while some little secrets can easily arouse the desire of the viewers and break their will.

For the stories in the book, he learned from "The Teasing Master Takagi-san" and "Guan Gong's Talk" ("About Not Understanding What My Husband Is Saying"), and drew simple stories about showing affection and showing off their love, and then having sex.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably have to draw many parts, at least ten parts, from elementary school to college graduation or high school graduation and marriage. Twenty-something pages for one part is obviously not enough.

I don’t know if a book like this will become popular, and if it does, will it be made into an animation? It would be funny if his comics on land weren’t animated, but his comics in the sea were animated first.

Dongye Zou pinched his brows, looked at the sky outside the window, and immediately became worried even though he was resting.

It’s afternoon now and it’s almost dark, but Xiaozheng’s results haven’t come out yet.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

The cell phone on the table rang. Higashino Kanade hurriedly picked up the phone. When he saw that it was editor Yoshida calling, he became even more nervous.

coming.

Higashino Kanade took a deep breath.

"Congratulations, Higashino-kun, congratulations, you're first place, you've made a comeback, a big comeback!"

Yoshida Koji's voice on the other side was very excited.

"what?"

When he heard the congratulations, Higashino Kanade couldn't quite believe it. After confirming that he was first place, he felt a sense of unreality and trance.

First? Really first? I'm not dreaming.

"The Fake Hero ranked first in the reader survey with 498 votes. Almost half of the people voted for your work."

Yoshida Koji was extremely excited after knowing the result of Komasa. He had originally been very confident in Higashino Kanade, but the quick results made him lack confidence. What he didn't expect was that Higashino Kanade's big reversal on Komasa shocked him.

There are one thousand reader survey forms, and one reader survey form can be filled in with three works. So, rounded off, Higashino-kun’s 498 votes means that half of the people who watch “Akamaru Jump” support him.

This is really amazing. Not to say that there has never been anyone like him before or after him, but for a new cartoonist like Higashino Kanade, this achievement is too impressive. What's more important is that Higashino Kanade is still young, only 11 years old.

"498 votes, wow, that's pretty good."

After a brief moment of confusion, Higashino Kanade came to his senses. He suppressed his desire for ecstasy, took deep breaths continuously and told himself to stay calm.

"Congratulations, Higashino-kun, no, Bad Ringo-sensei, "False Hero" can be serialized in Shonen Jump."

Although the transfer of "False Hero" from "Akamaru Jump" to "Weekly Shonen Jump" still needs to pass the serialization meeting, but judging from the performance of "False Hero", passing the serialization meeting should be a foregone conclusion.

When cartoonists succeed, editors rise to heaven.

As a new editor, Higashino Kanade can breathe a sigh of relief that his manga can be serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. If "False Hero" can become a big hit after being officially serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, then he won't have to worry about being transferred or fired.

Maybe as he gains more experience, he can even become a team leader.

Yoshida Koji imagined the future and then made an appointment to meet with Higashino Kanade.

Since "False Hero" will be serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" as expected, he should have a good talk with Higashino-kun and Higashino-kun's parents about the issue of royalties, as well as a series of issues such as royalties after the comics can be serialized stably and published as a single volume.

These things couldn't be explained over the phone, so he had to talk to Higashino-kun, especially Higashino-kun's parents, in person.

Yoshida Koji excitedly went back to the editorial office to get busy. On the other side, Higashino Kanade, who had been telling himself to stay calm, finally couldn't hold it anymore after the call ended.

"Great."

Higashino Kanade jumped up happily.

“No.1 in the Reader Survey!”

"I'm super awesome, super strong!"

"Just average, just average, third in the world."

"What is an international cartoonist? This is an international cartoonist."

"Haha, hehe, hehehe, hehehahahahahahahahaha!"

One was at home. At first, Higashino Kanade wanted to act, but later he couldn't act anymore. He started to smile foolishly like a lunatic. His happy smile turned into joy, and the joyful smile became more and more rampant, from a lunatic's smile to a perverted smile.

Higashino Kanade laughed and talked to himself at the same time, as if he had a split personality, sometimes playing the role of A and sometimes playing the role of B in the conversation.

After being crazy for almost half an hour, Dongye Kanade, who was so exhausted that he had no strength left, ran to lie down on the sofa in the living room.

His body was tired, but his mind was very alert.

I didn't expect there would be a reversal, that's great, this is the quality of a genius cartoonist.

In a good mood, Higashino Kanade took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Izumi Konata. If it had not been officially serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" yet, he would have wanted to find Nijigasaki, Nozomi, and Yuzuru and ask "How did you know that I'm a professional cartoonist for "Weekly Shonen Jump"? "

In the Higashino family's restaurant, Higashino Suzu, Izumi Konata, and Izumi Sojiro were having dinner after watching a movie.

Feeling the vibration of his phone, Quan Konata took out the phone from his coat pocket.

"Dad, Xiaozou's comics might be serialized in Jump."

"Ah, really?!"

Izumi Sojiro couldn't believe it as he put the dried fish into his mouth.

"Really? Isn't there a comic of his in Akamaru Jump? Didn't I lend it to you, Dad? Didn't you read it?"

Izumi Konata stared at Izumi Sojiro with contempt in his eyes.

"Well..." Izumi Sojiro scratched his face embarrassedly, "I'm too busy. I have to write novels every day."

"I see you either playing games, watching TV, or sleeping. Are you really writing a novel?"

"Cifang, you don't understand. A novelist doesn't just write on paper, he also has to write in his mind."

Izumi Sojiro pointed to his head. He couldn't be said to be talking nonsense. After all, the ideas in a writer's mind when writing a story also count as writing a novel.

The question is, are some people really writing novels in their minds these days, instead of thinking about games, idols, paper figures, idleness, eating, drinking and having fun?

Chapter 104: Some French Fries First

"Shocking, a genius comic that only comes once in a century!"

"The future of Japan, the 11-year-old genius cartoonist - Bad Ringo."

"Can you please not do this?"

In Shimokitazawa, Higashino Kanade is here again. He came to Hongxia to watch a movie.

Of course, there is also Konata who came with him.

Izumi Konata and Ichichi Hongxia were reading about the recent reports on him on television, jokes that were praising him in name only but actually criticizing him, or publicly executing him.

This Thursday, his manga passed the serialization meeting and will be serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump next month.

Normally, even if his comics passed the serialization meeting, it would not be possible for them to be serialized so quickly. After all, the comics of "Weekly Shonen Jump" are not cut off at will. The cartoonists will be notified five weeks in advance so that they can be prepared for the cut.

The comic was cut short, but it didn't just end there. The cartoonist was given a certain amount of time to complete the ending, which means the cartoonist had to complete the ending within five weeks from the time he received the notice of cut-off to the time the comic was officially cut short.

Therefore, comics that are cut short all have this characteristic: the plot begins to speed up rapidly, and many battles and plots are either glossed over or come to an abrupt end, and it is obvious that the story ends without anything being said.

This is because the deadline for the comics to be cut short is approaching, so they can only speed up the story and at least tell readers a barely complete story. The most classic example is that everyone likes to complain that ACG works all play the stalk of "our story has just begun". If it is not out of helplessness, there is no reason for the cartoonist to finish it hastily.

To be honest, it's pretty good if a cartoonist knows that a comic can be cut off and still draw an ending for you. Some cartoonists can't even give an unsatisfactory ending, let alone a bad ending. The story has a good beginning but no good ending, and it just ends there.

In order to promote Higashino Kanade and tell the industry that they have a super young talented cartoonist, Shueisha made an exception and allowed Higashino Kanade to serialize his works in "Weekly Shonen Jump" early on, instead of waiting in line for a month or two.

It's a good thing that the comic can be serialized earlier, but although Higashino Kanade originally thought that this publicity was a good thing, it was no longer a good thing after Konata and Korin saw the news reports about him.

"Don't be like this, Hongxia, you've learned bad things from Cifang."

Higashino Kanade covered his face with his left hand. He was a vain person who liked to be praised and flattered.

It would be fine if Kojima and Hongxia were praising him 100% sincerely, but their praise of him was only half sincere and the other half seemed sarcastic.

It's just like when you are playing the casual mode of "CS:GO", and your roommates and classmates from the neighboring dormitories are all standing behind you watching you play, and when they see you kill someone, they immediately start to make a noise, sighing, shocked, and exclaiming "Is this the Big Earth?" "Look at the operation of the Big Earth?" "What shooting skills, what body movements, what awareness."

I am indeed praising you, but it's too harsh.

"What do you mean by being a bad student? We are sincerely praising you."

Izumi Konata moved closer to Tono Kanade's face mischievously, with a cunning light flashing in his green eyes.

Who made this guy always ask her "How do you know I'm a cartoonist for Jump" when talking to her after the comic was confirmed to be serialized.

Don't you want to praise her? Then she will praise her to her heart's content.

"Yes, Xiaozou, we are praising you, don't be embarrassed. Didn't you tell me that you want to be a super popular cartoonist? You have to get used to our praise. If you can't stand our praise, what about the fans' praise?"

Ijichi Hongxia's smile was bright and sunny, but what she said was a little sinister.

Who said Hong Xia is the archangel of Shimokitazawa? This is obviously the little devil of Shimokitazawa.

Higashino Kanade covered his ears with his hands, pretending to be unhappy and said, "If you do this again, I will be angry."

Unfortunately, this trick of his didn't work on Quan Cifang.

"Then you can get angry and roll around on the ground crying."

Quan Cifang kept smiling and even made a gesture of invitation.

"..."

Higashino Kanade looked at the dirty ground, then looked at Ichichi Hongxia who looked like an archangel but was actually a little devil and remained silent, and smacked his lips softly: "Let's go."

Ignore them!

It’s fine that Ci Fang is not gentle, but why is Hong Xia not gentle either? Isn’t she said to be a woman who can be a mother?

Higashino Kanade has a deep misunderstanding of Ijichi Nijika. In his impression, the archangel Ijichi Nijika should be the high school girl in the animation, not the junior high school student in reality who has only been in junior high school for more than a month.

Besides, gentleness may not be expressed in the same way by different people.

"are you angry?"
