Section 10 A small test of a knife (1)

It was not very close to the schoolchildren's club publishing house located in Chiyoda District. It was unrealistic to walk there like the last few times. I had no choice but to ask my mother for 50 yuan and board the morning tram.

Standing in the tram car that was crowded like canned sardines, Ai Fei was shaking left and right by the crowd. He grabbed the car railing several times and was squeezed away by the crowds coming up several times. He felt so uncomfortable. He was already thin and his strength was not as strong as the adults in the carriage. Standing in such a tram, it was like this morning rush hour again, and a 30-minute journey was simply a process of suffering.

There was endless clanging sound, and the tram finally arrived at the end of the trip. Ai Fei was the first to rush off the tram and took a long breath: I'm going to squeeze into a photo!

It was pretty good to get off the tram. The School Children's Club Press is located opposite the street. A 5-story building. The glass of the east-west building reflects the morning sunshine, reflecting a little golden light. When I approached, I saw that there were still rice-shaped notes on the glass of the building. Could it be that the mark left in the war has not been removed yet, right?

When I walked to the door of the building, there was no one to receive him. Ai Fei was really unhappy: Japanese people should pay attention to details in this regard, right? Should I let myself wait in the cold wind?

He informed a guy in an old military uniform downstairs of the building. The latter was quite polite and immediately grabbed the phone: "Hey, hey, please find Nishio-kun..."

Soon, Xiwei trotted downstairs and bowed when he met: "I'm sorry, Ai Feijun, I'm really sorry! There are very important guests today..."

"Should I come back in a few days?"

"Is this young man quite majestic when he fell off his face?" Nishio muttered in his heart and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, sorry, ah, I mean, you can go upstairs with me now. I will arrange for Ai Feijun's contract to sign soon. Please go here."

"Who is here today?" Ai Fei asked casually as he climbed up the stairs.

"I am a famous cartoonist, Mr. Osamu Tezuka who once created legendary sales numbers."

"So it's him!" Ai Fei said with a long "oh": "Why, does he have a lot of contact with your club?"

"Yes. Mr. Kato Maeichi of our company is considered his predecessor. Mr. Tezuka's work "Shin Treasure Island" was released in our company. It has created a distribution result of 400,000 copies nationwide! This is almost impossible to surpass..."

"How about such a number?"

“………?”

"I mean, is it big?"

Nishio seemed to be choked: "Don't Ai Feijun think such a number is still an impossible number to surpass??"

"Do you think the sales score of 400,000 is an insurmountable number? Or do you have this understanding within your schoolchildren's club? If you are limited to such results, you will no longer make any efforts?"

"Uh..." Nishio was even a little angry when asked by this strange young man.

"Oh, that's it here, right?" Ai Fei looked up indifferently and pointed at the nameplate with the words "edited by the editor".

"Ah, yes." Nishio shook his head in confusion: "Yes, it's here. Please come in."

The room in the editing office is very small, with four or five desks neatly placed. In front of each desk is a nameplate with his name written on it: Sakai Shima, Takagi, Tetsuo Momoto, Yoshihiko Nishio and Tanaka Rui. On the side of each desk is a large drawing board, with pencils, erasers and some essential materials for drawing in the border below. The desks full of drawing paper and drawing equipment fill the space for everyone, and it even feels a bit difficult to turn around.

"So, please wait. I'll inform you." Ai Fei was arranged to sit down on the row of sofas by the window, and Nishio bowed: "It's rude." Then he turned around and walked away.

Ai Fei was put here alone, and no one brought him a glass of water. He was embarrassed to stand up and walk around. He took out paper and pen from his schoolbag bored, and conceived the content of the next work in randomly with the coffee table in front of him.

"So, it's rude." A slightly immature girl came, accompanied by the sound of the door on the inside, and a slender figure appeared in the office.

Ai Fei looked up and looked at it. He was a girl who was no more than 20 years old. She had a pretty face and a typical Japanese appearance. She had a shrunk nose, a small mouth, single eyelids, and small eyes. She was not ugly, but she had nothing to do with beauty. Moreover, it may be because of the lack of nutrition, the girl's figure did not have any curves. At first glance, she looked like a little boy.

Thinking in my mind, the brush in my hand moved back and forth, the girl's avatar appeared on his drawing paper in a short while.

The girl didn't seem to notice that he was sketching herself, and walked lightly behind the editor named Taoren Tsawano: "Ha!" She screamed, and the latter was startled by her: "Is it Miss Lianzi?"

"Thank you for your hard work." The girl greeted him first, then looked at him with a smile: "I'm sorry, I didn't scare Uncle Taoren, right?"

"No. Why, are you looking for a new comic again?"

"It was. But Dad didn't allow me to take the unpublished comics home to read. Um... Dad really hates it, right?"

"This may be to prevent Miss Renzi from showing the comics to her classmates?" Momoto Tetsuo smiled and said a few words: "So, have you found any good comics here?"

"No! Oh..." The girl named Renzi pointed inside mysteriously: "Does Mr. Tezuka have any new works?"

"It seems that it hasn't been there yet. This time I came here just to ask for the opinions of Mr. Kato and other editors on the concept of the new work. It seems that the new work will take a while before it appears!"

"Ah! That's right?" Lianzi looked disappointed: "Then forget it. Oh, I won't disturb your work."

"It's rude."

Lianzi walked around the office, and was busy with her work. She didn't have time to chat with her too much. In a helpless manner, the girl walked to the sofa. It seemed that until then, she noticed Ai Fei's existence and turned her head and smiled embarrassedly: "You... OK!"

"Hello." Ai Fei nodded loudly and continued to lower his head.

“…………”

"Please wait." Ai Fei suddenly shouted at the girl who was about to leave, and took off a piece of paper from his drawing board: "Please forgive my presumptuousness."

Lianzi hesitated and walked closer a little, but turned her head and looked at it, and a surprised smile immediately appeared on her face: "Is this... me?"

"Do you like it?"

"Ah, yes. I like it very much."

"That's you."

"Thank you very much!" The girl bowed to him and then took the drawing paper from his hand, and seemed to remember something: "Ah, what if I say I don't like it?"

"It's still you." Ai Fei spoke very quickly: "But I'm just an arrogant idiot."

Since he was born to adulthood, Reiko has never seen a person who speaks so weird or so interestingly. She was stunned for a moment: "You...?"

As soon as the door on the inner side rang, several mermaids came out in a row: "Then, please give me!"

"Dad!" Lianzi shouted, and walked towards the man who was talking, handing over the drawing paper like a treasure: "Look, is this what the gentleman drew for me?"

As soon as Kato took the drawing paper, he immediately returned it to his daughter and continued to speak to a small man in front of him: "Since that's the case, Tezuka, my family is looking forward to your masterpiece!"

Ai Fei looked carefully and saw that the famous manga master Osamu Tezuka, who was called Tezuka Jun by Kato. This guy who was later called the "God of Manga" was very short, no more than 165 cm in size, with a big head and a small body. This disproportionate body seemed ridiculous to Ai Fei, but none of the people present found it ridiculous. Just as Nishio said to him, Osamu Tezuka is the top master in the current comics industry in Japan!

Osamu Tezuka's eyes swept across Ai Fei's face and nodded slightly: "Since that's the case, then I'll say goodbye! Please give me some advice on the following work."

Without any recommendations or advertising, this book has risen to 13th place on the new book list. I would like to thank readers for their support and love again!
