MTL - When I Bind the Plot Maintenance System-Chapter 24

Nozaki Umetaro has been following two people recently.

One is from another class, called Yuko Chai Shiqin, a red-haired boy who looks very frivolous. The other was Zhu Fu Kongliang, who was in the same class and sitting in front of him.

Originally noticed Miko Chai Mikoto because of the frivolous appearance of the other party - it is a relatively difficult thing to produce comics out of thin air, Nozaki Umetaro often refers to the things and people around him - and Miko Chai Mikoto seems to be very good at dating girls Communication, this kind of character may be very suitable for appearing as the second male character who likes the heroine in the comics.

In the end, after a little attention, Nozaki Umetaro discovered that Miko Shiba is actually a character who is completely opposite in appearance and heart, and is extremely shy.

...contrary, contrast cute? ! Nozaki Umedaro was a little surprised.

Yuko Chai Shiqin is a classmate from another class, so it is more troublesome to contact him on weekdays. But it is much easier to get in touch with Zhufukongliang. Zhufu Kongliang was sitting in front of him, and even when he was in class, Nozaki Umetaro would inadvertently set his eyes on him.

Even if it was unconscious, Nozaki Umetaro also discovered that Zhu Fukong Ryo almost never looked at the blackboard seriously in class. Either hold your face aimlessly in a daze, or look out the window.

In the first few days of school, the teacher was not too tough, and there was a more excessive (sleep directly) Nozaki Umitaro, so the teacher didn't say anything.

But after the time at the beginning of the semester, the teacher's attitude also began to become serious, and he would specially ask students who were obviously not serious in class to answer the questions on the blackboard.

And every time I click on Zhufukongliang... In short, the teacher will be very tired.

I can't tell what kind of inner character of Zhu Fu is at all. Nozaki Umetaro sighed in his heart, but he completely took the other party's external performance into his eyes.

Cold, paralyzed, and a certain degree of arrogance, does not like to chat with people, but unexpectedly responds politely. And, good grades.

…Um? Why do you always feel that it seems to be very suitable for the characteristics of the male protagonist? But this time, you can continue to make a contrast between the appearance and the heart. The appearance is very cold, but it is actually a social fear or something? Then being guided by the gentle heroine, I can slowly get in touch with people... the other way around seems to be good too?

"Ah, they all look pretty good." Nozaki Umetaro looked at his notebook where he had recorded a lot of drafts, and suddenly found that too much inspiration is not very good, and it is easy to lose focus.

Putting the recorded inspiration aside for the time being, Nozaki Umetaro clearly knows that the most important thing for him at the moment is to hand over the first chapter of the manga to the editor before the deadline.

And now, there's... a week to go before the deadline!

After the deadline passed, Nozaki Umetaro appeared in the class again with plaster on his body. The expressions of the classmates in the class were quite complicated: So, so is it really bad?

Different from the situation at the beginning of the school year, the students around him have become closer now, and Yuuki Hanoi asked, "Nozaki, what's the matter with your injury?"

"Painting." Nozaki Umetaro answered honestly.

"Eh? Painting?" Yuuki Hanoi looked at him in surprise: "What kind of painting will make you hurt all over!"

"Love manga." Nozaki Umetaro was still quite honest.

However, no one believed him at all. Yuuki Hanoi immediately laughed out loud, and the atmosphere in the class returned to normal: "Hahaha, I didn't expect Nozaki to be joking! What a surprise!"

Nozaki Umedaro: "I'm not kidding."

"Okay, you're not kidding." Yuki Kawachi patted Nozaki Umetaro on the shoulder: "Anyway, take care of your injury. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to go to the infirmary."

Nozaki Umetaro nodded, not too depressed about the fact that no one believed him.

But at this time, he noticed the front table that had been in a daze, and glanced at him at this time.

Unlike other people who instinctively judge others by their appearance, Zhu Fukong Ryo realized that Nozaki Umetaro didn't lie, he was really hurt because of drawing love comics.

And Nozaki Umetaro seized this opportunity and took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong? Zhufu."

"..." Zhu Fukongliang was silent for a while before he said, "...drawing comics, is it dangerous?"

"Huh? It's not dangerous." Nozaki Umedaro was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he was inexplicably connected to Zhu Fukongliang's brain circuit, and suddenly said: "Ah, you mean these injuries on my body? It became like this because I was bent over and lowered my head for a long time, and my wrists have been drawing at a high intensity.”

"The manga itself is not dangerous, don't worry." Nozaki Umetaro replied.

Zhu Fukong nodded, then turned around and said nothing.

"...Huh?" Nozaki Umetaro reacted with hindsight - Zhufu, it seems, unexpectedly... good communication!

Nozaki Umetaro's eyes lit up, and during the second class break, he took the initiative to chat with Zhufu Kong Ryo again: "Speaking of which, Zhufu is interested in comics?"

"I will." Zhu Fukongliang replied.

"You can read it, so what type do you like? Are you interested in juvenile manga? Are you interested in romance manga?" Nozaki Umetaro asked.

"It's all right."

"Oh! In that case, I have a new monthly magazine here, can I lend it to you?"

So just like that, Zhu Fukongliang went home with a monthly magazine.

The next day, Nozaki Umedaro asked curiously, "Where did you see it?"

"half."

"how do you feel?"

"I don't quite understand."

"Huh?" Nozaki Umetaro asked, "What do you mean by not understanding? Ah, yes, this is a monthly magazine, and it contains a lot of manga serializations. If you want to understand, you need to read all the previous serializations. Just do it."

Nozaki Umetaro suggested: "I have a new issue that I keep every month, are you interested? Which story are you more interested in, I'll find out if there is a single book for you."

So Zhu Fukongliang went home with several thick comics the next day. Even Zhu Fukongliang himself didn't react-about the fact that he didn't seem to give an answer that he was more interested in which story.

Zhufu's mother stood at the entrance of the stairs, touching her face with one hand, and worriedly said to Zhufu's father sitting on the sofa: "Kongliang recently... Has it been quieter?"

"But doesn't he look very happy?" Zhufu's father reassured: "The child won't hide it from you anyway."

"I prefer Kong Liang to take the initiative to tell me." Zhu Fu's mother glared at Zhu Fu's father and said in a slightly coquettish tone.

"Haha, that kid is also a high school student, let's try to let it go."

"Of course I know." Zhu Fu's mother thought for a while, and restrained the worry in her eyes: "Okay, I will listen to you this time."

After all, there are no negative emotions in his youngest son.

After eating as usual, Zhu Fukongliang returned to his room. He sat on the bed against the wall, put the book on his lap, and continued to read the stories in the comics.

Monthly magazines seem to have such a magic power. Even if you don't know the previous plot, just watching this clip will unknowingly be attracted to it, and you will be curious about the previous plot.

"So, Zhufu, do you like... um, or in other words, which author do you care about the most?"

Zhu Fukongliang opened the middle page, then pointed to the civet cat on it: "This."

Nozaki Umedaro: "…"

Nozaki Umedaro: "... civet cat?"

"...It's really interesting." Nozaki Umetaro rubbed his chin: "Toshi-sensei's plot and style of painting are very interesting, but I don't know why, no matter what she serializes, civet cats appear very frequently."

"The civet cat, spanning time and space." Zhu Fukongliang said solemnly.

"Yeah, it's not just the ordinary campus romance, the magical world of another world, or the historical comics, all of them are very conspicuous, and they have completely become the personal characteristics of Mr. Tou." Nozaki Umetaro understood: "No wonder you know what to do with Zhufu. I care so much... If I have a chance to meet Teacher Du, I'll ask you."

Zhu Fukongliang didn't care about the appearance of the civet cat, he simply felt that the civet cat was too unified, which made it a little troublesome for him to remember.

The topic of tanuki is temporarily over. As a love cartoonist, Nozaki Umitaro has a lot of comic books at home, and Zhufukong Ryo has not refused, so Nozaki Umitaro is also used to bringing Zhufukong Ryo a new comic every two days this matter.

Zhu Fukongliang always refused to come, and Nozaki showed it to him, but this routine was suddenly interrupted for a day after two months.

Nozaki Umetaro scratched his hair: "Sorry, I forgot to bring it."

Zhu Fukongliang rarely took the initiative to care: "What happened?"

And when a person took the initiative to speak, Nozaki Umetaro also seemed to have an outlet to vent, with a gloomy expression: "Do you remember the tanuki we discussed before?"

"A civet cat across time and space." Zhu Fukong nodded his head.

"...I finally understand why Mr. Du likes civet cats so much... No, that's not at all!" Nozaki Umetaro scratched his hair and slammed his head on the desk in pain: "Mr. Jian, these two Because of something, Yue temporarily handed me over to another editor... This editor is also the editor in charge of Teacher Du—"

This editor is called Mae Ye, who is quite a self-talking person. Although he may not have malicious intentions, the other party likes to give credit to himself after telling the cases that everyone can think of. In addition, he is quite sloppy.

"For example, the episode I serialized should be called [Trembling Heartbeat], but it ended up being [Shake Kondo]! What is Kondo, bastard?!" Fist clenched: "I'll put up with these typos for the time being - but this **** almost lost my original manuscript!"

"You think this is too much! Zhufu!"

Zhu Fukongliang tilted his head: "It has nothing to do with me."

Yuuki Hanoi, who had just arrived in the classroom, did not hear the previous conversation, but only heard the second half of the sentence.

The cheerful and normal person Yuuki Hanoi, put down the schoolbag for a while, almost instinctively retorted in his heart: Although I don't know what happened, shouldn't I comfort Nozaki at this time! Zhufu!

However, Nozaki's response was beyond Hanoi's expectations. Not only did Nozaki Umitaro not feel wrong, he took a deep breath: "Yes, it really has nothing to do with you - but even so, you are so serious in replying to me and listening to my message. Complain, you are indeed very gentle, Zhufu!"

Yuki Hanoi: …Huh? and many more? Nozaki, are you serious? !

"Then tomorrow..." Zhu Fukongliang said.

"No problem, I'll bring it to you tomorrow!" Nozaki Umetaro felt relieved after complaining, recalling what Zhufu Kongliang saw and which copy he should bring tomorrow.

Zhu Fukongliang turned around with satisfaction.

Yuki Hanoi: Huh? What to bring? Forget it, that's not the point, but Zhufu's attitude of treating Nozaki as a tool person is too obvious! Cover it up a bit!

Nozaki Umedaro: "You are reminding me to face him with the usual attitude, right, I remember it! Thank you, Zhufu, you really are a good person!"

Yuki Kawachi: Nozaki—! ! ? ? ?
