Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

Zhuju Club definitely has no idea what to do now.

The only person who needs Kanda Yui's attention is Araki Sayuri herself.

"...I heard that you have two very well-behaved cats that accompany you home every day. Yui-san, how about selling these two cats to me?"

A creepy smirk was maintained on Sayuri Araki's beautiful face.

Even though she was lying on the ground and not moving, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

She doesn't look like a primary school student at all.

She possesses a charm that other children of her age don't have, and at the same time, she exudes a dark beauty.

Dangerous and fascinating.

Kanda Yui is no ordinary person, and she has been mentally prepared in the past few days.

When she heard what Araki Sayuri said, Kanda Yui shook her off with a look of astonishment, "What did you say?"

Araki Sayuri, who was released, giggled. She rubbed her hand that had just been grabbed by Kanda Yui, then sat up from the ground.

"Ah, name your price." Araki Sayuri gracefully stood up, holding onto the wall. She dusted herself off and said, "Give me the two cats..."

Kanda Yui frowned, "These two cats are stray cat friends. I am not their owner. I am sorry, I am not qualified to sell them."

After saying that, Kanda Yui signaled the two cats watching the show in the corner to leave quickly.

After Kanda Yui took five steps.

Araki Sayuri turned around leisurely and said nonchalantly, "My patience is running out..."

Hearing this, Kanda Yui continued walking.

But Sayuri Araki did not let Kanda Yui go. She shook off the dust and followed Kanda Yui all the way.

Kanda Yui looked like she didn't want to pay any attention to her.

However, Araki Sayuri quickly stepped forward and blocked Kanda Yui's path again. She said cheerfully, "Their owner is Shihodo Jugetsu, right? How about giving him to me?"

Kanda Yui's heart trembled, but on the surface she just glanced at Araki Sayuri indifferently, then walked around her and continued on her way.

Araki Sayuri still maintained her smirk, and this time she did not stop Kanda Yui.

……

at the same time.

In Yan Zhu's office.

"Shuyue-san, your second work was also very popular, winning second place in this issue's Tezuka Award... Well, the reporter and the magazine editor are all ready. You said you won't attend the awards ceremony. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

Editor Kondo looked worried.

Previously, editor Kondo actually suggested that Shuyue submit his first work for the "Tezuka Prize".

In fact, the editorial department had a little trick up its sleeve.

When Shuyue first contacted "Weekly Shonen Jump".

Due to the pressure from Shishigami Road and Shihodo, and the fact that Shuyue's first work does have some strength.

Therefore, the editor-in-chief agreed to let Shuyue's first work be serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump".

Just preparing to upload.

The editorial department will only send editor Kondo to come to Shuyue in advance to review the manuscript, and then bring the manuscript back to the editorial department.

The contents of the weekly serials are prepared in advance.

After all, if a new work is suddenly inserted, the original serialized comics cannot be arbitrarily interrupted.

Therefore, "Weekly Shonen Jump" had no choice but to increase the number of pages and include Shuyue's comics.

However, if Shuyue enters this work for the "Tezuka Award", then this work cannot be exposed in the weekly magazine before winning the award.

This way, the editorial department doesn’t need to consider adding pages to the weekly edition or letting other comic authors leave their stories unfinished.

However, what was unexpected to the entire editorial department was.

After Shuyue received consent from editor Kondo to participate in the Tezuka Prize, he did not submit his first work for the Tezuka Prize.

Shuyue easily came up with his second manga work to participate in the "Tezuka Award".

This resulted in the first work of Shuyue being serialized in the extra pages of Weekly Shonen Jump as originally planned.

Shuyue's second comic work was used for the competition.

For cartoonists of this era.

Shuyue, a "tentacle monster" who draws two comics at the same time and never delays the completion of the manuscript, is the nightmare of all cartoonists.

Originally, everyone had some complaints about him.

Shuyue didn't even plan to attend the Tezuka Award ceremony, which was considered a sacred ceremony.

This attitude is too arrogant.

"Arrogance" can bring a lot of trouble.

So, Editor Kondo came to find Shuyue in a hurry under tremendous pressure.

Shuyue poured a cup of oolong tea for Editor Kondo and said with a smile, "I see. I'm sorry to have troubled you. I will attend the Tezuka Award ceremony on time."

Editor Kondo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shuyue agree.

however……

The relief barely lasted a moment before Editor Kondo's nervousness returned. "Shuyue-san, your second work entered the Tezuka Prize and won second place. And the second place in the Tezuka Prize is only awarded as a candidate..."

Then, Editor Kondo went on and on with a lot of talk.

Shuyue listened with a smile but no words.

Finally, Shuyue waited for Editor Kondo to finish speaking before smiling and refilling his tea.

While Editor Kondo was frantically drinking water, Shuyue said, "...Uncle Kondo, I think I understand."

"You mean to say that my second work still needs further selection and competition before it can be serialized in a weekly magazine, right?"

Editor Kondo nodded while drinking water.

Shuyue added, "For this work, I need to draw three weeks of serialized content in advance, and give you the manuscript for review and discussion."

Editor Kondo took a deep sip of tea and nodded, "Yes, Shuyue-san, you have to be mentally prepared."

"In my experience, it's not uncommon to have meetings lasting several hours just for one comic strip panel."

"In the days ahead, we need to meet frequently to discuss how to adjust the overall look of the work, the direction of the story, and the character's growth..."

"To qualify for serialization of award-winning new works, it's no longer a one-man show."

"This is a team effort. You really don't need to fight alone anymore. Can you rely on me for a little while?"

Shuyue looked at the sincere editor Kondo and blinked, "Oh, okay, then... come back to the main house with me later and pick up the manuscript that is being serialized."

"Eh?" Editor Kondo was a bit confused. "Well... I'll wait until you finish the three-week series of your new work before I go. The manuscript you gave me earlier still has several weeks of new series..."

Shuyue smiled and shook her head, saying, "I've already completed four weeks of serialization for the new work. I didn't realize I needed to prepare and revise the story for three weeks in advance."

"In that case, can you please ask the editor to review it carefully first so that I can correct any problems in a timely manner?"

Editor Kondo: “…”

You're a monster, right?

Chapter 063 Itch is not gender specific

After agreeing with Kondo Masahiko, Shuyue called the bird guarding outside the window and sent a message to the animals in the comics studio.

Then, Shuyue called Takayama and took him and Kondo Masahiko back to the main house of Shihodo.

Less than ten minutes.

Kondo Masahiko was held in two thick stacks of manuscripts, his eyes dull as he was driven back to the city by Takayama.

At this time, Shuyue was standing in his own comics studio, listening solemnly to a group of crows telling about the accident that Kanda Yui encountered after school today.

Same as before.

These jackdaws are qualified actors.

On the smooth wooden floor, they acted out the entire story of the two girls meeting at the alley entrance.

Not long after.

Shuyue said calmly, "Oh...are you sure you heard it right? That Shinki Sayuri told Kanda that she would give me to her?"

Jackdaw: "Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

Shuyue asked again: "Did you follow her afterwards? Why did she suddenly come to see Kanda Yui, and why did she say that?"

Sayuri Shinki is now in the second semester of sixth grade, and she will be going to junior high school in the new semester.

She is at least two years older than Kanda Yui.

Moreover, Sayuri Araki grew up in an environment full of matters between men and women, so it is normal for her to mature early.

But Shuyue didn't think that she would fall in love with him just because of love.

After all, they are still too young.

There must be another reason.

At Shuyue's inquiry, the group of crows once again showed Shuyue what happened after Shinmu Sayuri.

After Sayuri Shinki returned home.

Her mother, Eiko Araki, wants to ask her if she has made friends with first-year student Shihodo Shugetsu.

I heard Sayuri Araki say "No".

Araki Eiko was very angry and said, "Then let's perform the "exorcism" ceremony."

Then, Shinki Eiko scooped up the ice water from the bucket with a porcelain cup and poured it hard on her daughter.

Every time she splashed, Sayuri Shinmu would scream.

It was autumn now, and ice water splashed on the school uniform would quickly penetrate it, and the force would cause great pain to the child Shinmu Sayuri.

In addition to the physical pain and coldness, this experience also made Araki Sayuri feel extremely ashamed.

The act of throwing water is actually a form of humiliation.

Shinki Sayuri was splashed with water seventy-seven times.

Only then did Eiko Araki let her go back to the house to take a shower.

On the surface, it was a demon-exorcism ceremony.

In fact, it was the punishment that Sayuri Araki received because she "failed to complete the task".

After listening to Jackdaw's report.

Shuyue's mood was complicated.

A mother like Eiko Araki will sooner or later drive Sayuri Araki crazy.

Moreover, judging from the way this mother and daughter get along.

The system previously said that Sayuri Shinki would inherit her mother's business, but it is possible that Sayuri Shinki was forced to do so.

Although Araki Sayuri is older than Kanda Yui.
