"Okay... I'm just a little anxious. Before I knew it, I was almost 30, and I still hadn't accomplished anything..."

"Is that so? If I'm not mistaken, you should be 24 years old this year, with your birthday in October. You're five months away from turning 25."

"You seem to know quite a lot..."

“I remember everyone’s birthday so I can buy them birthday gifts.” Masamune paused. “So, are you experiencing age anxiety? You’re not that old, are you?”

"Can't I have some personal privacy?"

"Of course you can, but if you want to quit your job or move, that won't work for me."

"Then what reason should I use?"

"It's like... a distant relative has passed away, leaving no one to carry on the family line, and you're going to inherit a large sum of money."

"That's a real shame, I don't have any relatives like that."

"In that case, continue living here. Being all alone, it shouldn't make much difference to you where you live."

Tomoyo remained silent. Although she understood what he meant, she was still a little annoyed to be spoken to like that.

My relationship with my parents is terrible, and I don't plan to ask them for financial support. Although I've saved a lot of money this year, it's not a huge amount.

If someone wants to live there alone, it's definitely impossible to get permission.

Ultimately, this is all about human relationships and social dynamics.

No matter how much you dislike it, no one can escape it while living in this world.

"What if I insist?"

“Then… I’ll insist too.” Masamune sighed softly. “If you live alone, you might die quietly in your rented room one day.”

"impossible."

"Gas leaks, alcohol poisoning, illness without care, irregular lifestyle leading to multiple diseases, etc., don't cause trouble for Yingwen."

Tomoyo opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Now that you're getting married, it's not appropriate for me to continue living at the Hayase family's house."

"So that's it. So that's what's bothering you."

Masamune instantly understood and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Mashiro is a junior in college this year, and she won't get married until at least the year after next."

"Besides, isn't Mom planning to buy the house across the street? Then you can live either one."

"Before getting married, I will also buy some villas in other places for vacation purposes."

"If you find a partner and plan to get married, I can also give you a house. If you feel embarrassed, you can change it to a loan, indefinite and with zero rent."

Tomoyo remained silent for a long time, then said softly:

"Rita, what are you planning to do? She probably won't give up."

"Time will solve everything. If it doesn't, then... we'll see when the time comes."

"At that time, I was almost 27."

? ?

Masamune paused for a moment, and an anime suddenly popped into his mind.

I hadn't thought of it before, but this animation is actually quite interesting.

It would be even more interesting if Musashino made it.

"Have it!"

"what?"

Tomoyo looked surprised when she saw Masamune suddenly walk quickly behind his desk and start typing on the computer.

"what happened to you?"

"I suddenly thought of a great story, and the fourth season of the anime for next season is here."

"Uh…"

Is this the world of genius?

Tomoyo unconsciously walked behind him and silently stared at the computer screen.

"Back to being seventeen?"

"That's right, the male protagonist, Arata Kaizaki, is 27 years old and still hasn't achieved anything. After a party one night, he is stopped by a mysterious person who offers him a job as bait and gets him to participate in a biological experiment..."

"27 years old? Haven't accomplished anything? Are you sure this isn't a reference to me?"

"nothing dealing with you."

After quickly completing the initial setup for the story, Masamune paused, searching for relevant information while thinking:

This anime doesn't exist in this world, nor do any similar comics or novels.

Based on this, it can be inferred that Arata Kaizaki and others should exist in the current world, with their ages unknown.

However, such a drug probably doesn't exist in this world.

After all, even if only his appearance is restored to 17 years old, and his physical abilities are the same as his actual age, it will still cause a huge reaction.

Continuing the search, no results were found for the Relife Research Institute or any related names. However, a significant amount of information was found about Aoba High School, the setting of the story.

Tomoyo, who had been watching from the back the whole time, asked curiously:

"Does such a thing really exist? A new drug that can make people ten years younger?"

"Probably not."

Masamune paused, then smiled and said:

"A ten-year gap isn't actually that significant. If you dress up a little and wear a high school uniform, no one will think you're not a high school student."

"No thanks, I have no intention of going back to high school."

"Would you like to come with me to find the people involved in this story? You'll be the production manager when we produce this animation next season."

Do you know these people?

"do not know."

"We don't have a single clue, only a name. How are we supposed to find them? Besides, are you sure these people really exist?"

"Having a name is enough. Don't underestimate the abilities of a private detective. He may not be as good as Sherlock Holmes, but he's got half the skills."

Seeing that he had given up searching and continued writing the script, Tomoyo fell into deep thought.

How did this story come about?

Inspired by certain keywords, a flash of inspiration struck me like lightning, and the story instantly came to mind.

Or is it simply about predicting the future?

But that creates a new problem: does such a drug really exist?

When should we start looking for people?

"Let's wait a few days. I'll refine the script first, then hire a private investigator to gather information about the parties involved. After that, all we need to do is take the materials to persuade them. I'll find the male lead, and you find the female lead."

"it is good."

Honestly, even though you didn't mean it that way, you insist on keeping me by your side. It's easy for people to misunderstand.

Well, that's probably how my life will be.

Chapter 314 Being a cartoonist is also a high-risk profession.

"Is Xiao Zheng ranked second?"

As evening fell, Mashiro Moritaka heard the weekly JUMP reader survey rankings over the phone from his editor and sighed in disappointment.

Generally speaking, the first chapter of each comic book usually gets the highest popularity and reader ranking.

Judging from online comments, the manga "Bakuman," which uses himself as the subject, is indeed very popular.

Even so, it still couldn't surpass the manga "On the Eve of Fate" by Munehaku.

Because the hands-free connection was on, Akito Takagi heard him clearly and understood his feelings perfectly, so he spoke without any hesitation:

"There's nothing we can do about it. Shiina-sensei's storyboards are excellent; every page is beautiful and has a unique charm."

"Yes, the difference in painting skills is really too great."

As they were talking, Mashiro Moritaka suddenly stood up, walked to a bookshelf, picked up a two-year-old JUMP magazine, and quickly started flipping through it.

"Compared to two years ago, Shiina-sensei's drawing skills are like those of a completely different person."

"Moreover, this rate of progress is clearly visible. If I look at it a few more times, I wonder if I can find the secret to improving my drawing skills?"

"You might as well just ask him directly," Takagi Akito couldn't help but complain. "If you feel that Shiina-sensei is difficult to communicate with, asking President Hayase is better than figuring it out yourself."

“That’s true.” Mashiro Moritaka nodded slightly. “In that case, next time I go to Musashino, I must ask if there are any tips for improving drawing skills.”

"By the way, I think the script also has room for improvement."

"Although these are things that actually happened in the past, I think we can still think about which ones can be drawn into the comics and which ones should be glossed over."

“That’s what I think too,” Takagi Akito said as he thought. “I’m polishing the script every day. By the way, is there anything you’re hiding from me?”

"Huh...? Which aspect are you referring to?"

"The matter between you and Azuki, and the matter with your uncle."

"That should be all, right? If not, I'll explain it from the beginning again."

"Alright."

Suddenly, a lot of noise came from the doorway.

"What's going on outside? Have any neighbors moved to new houses?" Mashiro Moritaka asked with a surprised expression.

“Maybe a beautiful woman is passing by,” Takagi Akito said with a smile.
