"Doujinshi--there is always something shameful about this line of work. So I have always wanted to get on board, but I am not very good at story construction. Although I wanted to create new works myself before, I had to cut them off in the end because the plot was too weak. So, I wanted to find an interesting story. At this time, I found that "Tokyo Ghoul" was going to be adapted into a manga, and I like this story very much. So I wanted to seize this opportunity." Eriri explained a little embarrassedly.
"Oh, so that's the reason." Hasegawa suddenly realized.
"So, if possible, please give me the story of "Tokyo Ghoul" by Mr. Hasegawa." Eriri stood up and bowed to Hasegawa directly.
"Actually, I am quite satisfied with your ability. The first chapter you drew is exactly the picture I imagined in my mind." Hasegawa said with a smile.
Not considering any other aspects, Eriri is very capable, and can even present the style required by "Tokyo Ghoul", so Hasegawa will naturally refuse.
"Really?" Eriri's eyes widened, revealing infinite joy.
"Well, because there is really no need to deceive you, but first I have to talk about my conditions. We can only cooperate if you can accept it. If you can't accept it-" Hasegawa didn't continue to say it, and the meaning is already very clear.
"Please speak." Eriri sat opposite Hasegawa seriously.
"First of all, I don't want the story I wrote to be modified by others, especially in terms of character setting. I don't want others to tamper with my plot." Hasegawa said to Eriri seriously.
"There is absolutely no problem in this regard. And I am relatively weak in the plot. Even if I were asked to modify it, I would be incapable of it." Eriri nodded quickly.
"That's the best. Actually, I didn't have too many requirements. It's just that because of Sawamura, I need to add one more." Hasegawa nodded with a smile, and then said to Eriri.
Eriri blushed when she heard Hasegawa say that. Maybe she was a comic book artist, so at this time, countless plots flashed in her mind, such as for work, she had to succumb to the despicable conditions proposed by Hasegawa, but for the sake of her dream, she could only endure humiliation, and then every day Hasegawa put her in 365 postures, etc.
Or it was a book of imprisonment, Eriri naturally put herself in the shoes of the heroine.
Or it was the plot of other books...
"No, no. Absolutely not!" Eriri blushed, her breathing began to become rapid and disordered, and she shouted loudly at Hasegawa.
"Huh?" Hasegawa was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face. What's going on? Didn't he say it was fine just now? He hasn't said anything yet, why does Eriri react like this?
As Eriri's childhood sweetheart, Tomoya Aki's face darkened a little. He probably wanted to know what Eriri was thinking about just now. He quickly poked Eriri: "Hey, Eriri, wake up."
"Ah? Um, sorry, that, I, I..." Eriri blushed as she saw Hasegawa and Yuigahama Yui, two outsiders, looking at her with even stranger eyes.
"Sawamura-san, in fact, probably because of your previous career, when you draw comics, you will inevitably bring out your previous style, just like here, things that shouldn't be leaked are inadvertently leaked. Although this will attract some people. However, Sawamura-san also needs to pay attention to a degree, so if possible, I hope Sawamura-san can be a little more restrained." Hasegawa explained to Eriri.
"Ah, yes, that's right. No problem, I will definitely restrain myself." Eriri finally understood what conditions Hasegawa had said for her, and her face turned red.
"If Sawamura agrees to both of these, then I don't have any requirements on my side. What do Sawamura have to ask of me?" Hasegawa asked seriously, as if he didn't see Eriri's embarrassment at all.
"I, I don't have any requirements on my side either." Eriri shook her head quickly.
"Is that so? Well, I will contact my editor later and explain the situation here. If there is nothing else on the publisher's side, Sawamura should be chosen. However, I hope to give the content of the first episode drawn by Sawamura to the editor so that she can confirm your strength."
"No problem, no problem at all." Eriri said quickly.
"Well, if possible, I would rather Sawamura go with me to meet my editor." Hasegawa thought about it and felt that it would be more appropriate for Eriri to go with him.
"Will you go together? Sure. That's fine." Eriri nodded heavily.
Aki Tomoya was watching Eriri from the side and felt that it was a little strange. Eriri seemed to be in a completely disadvantaged position in front of Hasegawa. Of course, this was also related to Eriri's request to Hasegawa.
So, the matter was settled.
After returning, Hasegawa began to contact his editor, briefly explained the matter, and agreed on a meeting time.
Because this matter was also very urgent, Machida Sonoko and Hasegawa agreed to meet the next day.
The next day,
Hasegawa, Eriri and Machida Sonoko sat at a table.
Machida Sonoko looked at Eriri curiously. She was a little surprised. Such a cute girl with blonde hair and twin ponytails, not only was she so cute and beautiful, but her temperament was also quite good. She was a top beauty. However, it is too unbelievable to say that this beautiful girl is actually the famous teacher Kashiwagi Eri in the book world.
Before this, Machida Sonoko's impression of Kashiwagi Eri was probably that of a very sloppy, very greasy, middle-aged fat man wearing a vest and big shorts and compromising. Now Eriri has completely broken Machida Sonoko's three views.
"I didn't expect that Kashiwagi Eri is actually a cute beautiful girl. It's really hard to guess." Machida Sonoko said with a smile.
"I, I just, just like to draw." Eriri blushed.
"Okay, let's not discuss this, Editor Machida, take a look at this." Hasegawa helped Eriri out.
