Zongman: Starting from adopting the homeless melon god

Chapter 197 The Brilliant Yukiko
Under Beichuan Yu's comfort, Yuna quickly let go of her tension, leaned against Beichuan Yu's body relaxedly, and smiled again on her face.

However, in the editorial office of Kodansha headquarters, the destination of their trip, a group of editors frowned because of the sudden impromptu meeting they were about to hold.

"What's the situation? Why did the editor-in-chief suddenly want to hold a temporary meeting? And asked us all to attend?"

"I don't know, do you have any news from Yamada-kun?"

"It is said that there is a new work temporarily to be published in next week's Weekly Shonen Magazine."

Before the senior editor named Yamada finished speaking, there were already exclamations around him.

"What? There is a new work about to be published in Weekly Shonen Magazine temporarily? Which work was cut in half? But didn't the cut-in meeting be held the day before yesterday?"

"Could it be that some cartoonist had a temporary problem and had to delay the production?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

That is to say, no one was cut in half, and no one bounced tickets. Under normal circumstances, someone suddenly added three, which made everyone frowned unconsciously.

"Could it be that he is the editor in chief."

Someone couldn't help whispering, and the words seemed to mean something.

The expressions of the other people around changed when they heard the words.

Someone gave him a hard look, and shouted in a low voice: "How can the editor-in-chief be willing to do such a thing! And have you forgotten, how was the former editor-in-chief sent in? 30 years! And the family members are not allowed to leave." Engage in related work! Do you think the editor-in-chief dares to challenge the authority of Asuka’s chairman?"

"Then this—"

"You don't need to guess," the figure of the editor-in-chief appeared behind everyone at some point.

The sudden sound made everyone in the room jump into a tizzy, like the scumbags who cheated on the exam and were caught by the invigilator. .

"Ahem, this work was named by the chairman to be published in the journal. However, in order not to infringe on the interests of other cartoonists, I discussed it with the chairman. Originally, I planned to attach a separate work in the next issue. This supplement is sold together with the main issue and is only advertised on the cover of the main issue. The reason why the temporary meeting was held is to prevent you from guessing."

Speaking of this, the editor-in-chief paused for a while, his face became more and more serious, his eyes swept over everyone majesticly, and he said: "However, as long as this work is not at the bottom of the ranking in the next issue, it will be officially serialized in the main magazine. The works at the bottom of the list will be moved to other second-tier magazines, so everyone has no objections, right?"

"No comment!"

Everyone who had already been shocked said in unison immediately after hearing the words.

Although this kind of separate supplement that comes with the main issue is a bit suspected of cheating, it is indeed much better than directly seizing the serialization position of other works in the main issue, isn't it?
It's just that they ignored what would happen if "Demon Slayer: Blade" ranked at the bottom.

Perhaps they took it for granted that if "Demon Slayer: Blade" ranked at the bottom, it would be good to put it in the second-tier journal of their magazine for a period of time to accumulate popularity.

After all, no matter how excellent a work is, it takes time to accumulate and ferment.

But only the editor-in-chief knows how much Yukiko values ​​this manga, or how much she values ​​Yuu Kitagawa.

"If "Demon Slayer" is at the bottom? Then continue to serialize it in the free supplement that comes with the main issue until it is no longer at the bottom~"

The editor-in-chief felt frightened again when he thought of the reply Yukiko gave on the phone.

Without increasing the selling price, if you add an additional supplement, even if it is only one chapter or a dozen pages, based on the sales volume of Weekly Shōnen Magazine, the cost of each issue will directly increase by tens of millions of yen. ah!
This is equivalent to spending tens of millions of yen per issue to praise "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba"!
Therefore, when Kitagawa Yuu and Yuna came to Kodansha, they did not meet the editor-in-chief of the beautiful women who are necessary for the protagonists in light novels and anime, but the editor-in-chief came to greet them in person, which made Kitagawa Yuu who knew the identity of the editor-in-chief After roughly guessing what was going on, I couldn't laugh or cry again.

But even if there is a suspicion of going through the back door, so what?Anyway, with the level of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, no matter where it is serialized, it will shine sooner or later.

And the editor-in-chief, who originally thought that he had to say a few good words even if his level was average, became serious after seeing the unique painting style of Ghost Mie for the first time, and waited for him to spend more than 20 minutes carefully After reading the first three chapters, he already showed a look of amazement, and felt extremely ridiculous for his original thoughts.

"It's no wonder that the chairman, who has always been fair and strict, would 'praise' a work like this. It seems that the chairman has a unique vision! You are worthy of being the next generation head of the Asuka family!"

The editor-in-chief sighed again, but at the same time couldn't help but get excited.

Because the style of Demon Slayer: Blade is more suitable to be serialized in Shueisha's "Weekly Shonen Jump" by their deadly rival.

It seems that it does not match the style of the works on "Weekly Shonen Magazine", but from another perspective, at the moment when the sales growth is stagnant, their "Weekly Shonen Magazine" suddenly serialized a more passionate and friendly "Weekly Shonen Jump" All the works currently serialized on the Internet are even more outstanding. Isn't it possible to snatch the market share of "Weekly Shonen Jump"?
The finishing touch is that "Demon Slayer: Blade" is serialized in a free supplement, which will not dissatisfy readers who are used to the original style of "Weekly Shonen Magazine".

After all, it's all free, so what else do you want?

In this way, with the quality of "Ghost Slayer: Blade", coupled with the convenience of free, it will definitely spread among the readership at the fastest speed, and it will attract those who like to read juvenile blood manga Readers, did the purchase of "Weekly Shonen Magazine" increase its sales?
"High! The chairman's move is really high!"

Thinking about it this way, the editor-in-chief couldn't help but admire Yukiko's wise decision even more.

Of course, the key to all this is that the quality of the upgraded Ghost Slayer is really too high.

For a moment, his attitude towards Bei Chuan Yu and the two became more enthusiastic, which made Bei Chuan Yu almost think that he was seriously ill.

Therefore, after agreeing on the time to visit the door every week, Kitagawa Yu hurriedly took Yuna and left the Kodansha.

"What's next for you?"

After leaving Kodansha, Kitagawa Yu looked at Yuna who was still a little excited and asked.

"The class said that we will prepare for the campus festival next week. The theme of our class is a haunted house. The class leader wants us to gather in the classroom and make props when we have time." Yuna thought for a while and said.

"But I don't really want to go, I still want to continue drawing manga, and draw the fourth chapter as soon as possible." Yuna stuck out her tongue playfully.

Perhaps because she saw the hope of helping her family pay off her debts, the invisible burden that had been weighing on her body was finally completely broken, making her look like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, becoming more vivid and bright.

"That's okay," Kitagawa Yuu raised his hand knife, tapped her on the head lightly, and said, "You have been working overtime and painting for two weeks, it's time to take a good rest~! One episode a week , the two of us will paint together, there will definitely be no problem~"

After a pause, Bei Chuan said leisurely: "Well, I'm going to record a song in the afternoon, and I happen to be short of a female harmony voice, so I'm counting on you~"

"What about now?" Yuna asked.

"Now, pay the deposit now, let's go to the amusement park together!"

There is no doubt that places like amusement parks are very attractive to girls from the age of four or five to the age of 30 or [-].

Yuna is no exception.

And because of her family background, she never really went to an amusement park except when she was 'working'.

The most important thing is that this time with her is someone she really likes!

As soon as his eyes lit up, Yuna immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and agreed without hesitation.

A sudden date came just like that. Although the time was not very long, after lunch and a little shopping, the two went to the recording studio together, but even so, both Yuna and Yuu Kitagawa felt very happy. happy.

On the other hand, Ayako slept longer than Kitagawa Yu expected. She woke up from the bed in a daze at one o'clock in the afternoon, and then she let out a panicked scream after looking at the alarm clock.

"One by one?!"

"Why didn't my alarm clock go off?"

"And the mobile phone, why didn't Sister Xingli and the others call me?"

Various thoughts flashed through Ayako's head, and then she instinctively thought of Yukiko. After all, who else would play such a prank on her besides Yukiko?
Just then, Yukiko opened the door and walked in, not knowing whether she heard her scream.

Then the two sisters looked at each other, and Yukiko understood her thoughts almost instantly, and said quickly: "It wasn't me, it was Yuu who did it!"

"Huh? Senior?" Ayako immediately became angry when she heard this. Yuxiko refused to admit that he did something bad, and even dared to plant someone she likes. This is something that my uncle can bear, and even my aunt can't bear it!
"I didn't lie to you, it was Yu who turned off your alarm clock and left a note for you. I planned to wake you up and have breakfast in the morning, but only after I saw the note did I realize that you and Yu watched anime all night, and you didn't Take me! It's just too hateful!" Yuxizi couldn't help clenching her small fists as she said, grinding her teeth for a while.

This made Ayako, who was still aggressive, feel inexplicably guilty.

"In addition, Yu also specially notified the three members of your band, saying that it is a holiday this morning, so they should also take a good rest."

"And Yuu also knows about the debts of your small company. I heard from Akari-senpai that Yuu went to the company in the afternoon and seemed to be planning to release two singles of his own."

Before she finished listening, the anger and anxiety in Ayako's heart had already turned into full emotion.

Especially when Kitagawa Yu wanted to release her own single in order to help her reduce her burden, her heart almost melted.

but
"Senior, he actually wants to sing by himself?"

How could she miss this!

Ayako quickly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, preparing to wash up as quickly as possible, change clothes and rush to the company. As for lunch, she could just bring two sandwiches to the car~
But Yukiko's next words made her change her mind.

"By the way, that Yuna-senpai went to the company with Yu, and it seems that she wants to record harmony for Yu's new song~"

"."

Although she gets along well with Yuna, but as a competitor, she doesn't want to lose to Yuna anywhere, so...
Ayako decisively doubled the time spent on dressing up.

When she came to the company, she happened to meet B Komachi who was going to the rehearsal room after lunch break to continue contacting. For a while, even a young and beautiful girl couldn't help being amazed by Ayako's appearance and temperament.

Then they couldn't help but sweat over Xiao Ai, who had already gone to the recording studio to find Yu Kitagawa.

"This little love's competitors are too powerful!"

"I can only say that Mr. Beichuan is so popular."

The three secretly glanced at each other, and suddenly there was a kind of gloating excitement in their hearts.

Ayako doesn't have mind reading skills, so it is obviously impossible to know what these three guys are thinking, so when she saw these three guys, she just stopped for a while and greeted them with a polite smile, and then continued to speak gracefully. Without losing speed, he quickly walked towards the elevator.

"I was born empty-handed, struggling in the gap between eternity, I linger in an era where only those who have no hope and those who are wise enough are the winners"

Seeing that the lights in the recording studio had been turned on, Ayako first walked into the listening room in order to avoid disturbing Kitagawa Yuu.

But as soon as he opened the door and walked in, he heard Kitagawa Yu's soulful and melancholy singing. He couldn't help but stop, and even his breathing slowed down unconsciously.

There is one thing to say, although "What else can love do" is not as classic as "Dream Lantern" and "Previous Past Life", but it can be selected by Makoto Xinkai as the theme song of "Children of the Weather" and can be on the neon The Oricon weekly chart champion is actually not bad at all. The singing voice ranges from sadness and helplessness, to struggling and despair, to never giving up, and the appeal is really strong.

And just at the end of the first section, Yuna and Xiao Ai's soft singing sounded just right. With the simple and clean accompaniment of only the piano, there was a strong impact that hit the soul.

In the second section, with the addition of other instruments, the slightly sped-up melody also drove a surge of power from the bottom of Ayako's heart, dispelling many distracting thoughts in her heart and making her unable to help but immerse herself in the singing. There was only the figure of Yu Kitagawa sitting in front of the piano, playing and singing.

"The magic of courage, hope, and bondage is useless, so adults avoid it, but even so, from that day until now, you have been guiding the way for me to move forward. Even if I run counter to the world, you will still Always by my side."

"Senior, even if the whole world is against you, I will always be by your side!"

As if there was a tacit understanding, Bei Chuanyu suddenly turned his head and looked over. The eyes of the two were intertwined, as if the first light after the rain had passed through the thick roof and landed on the two of them at the same time.
