Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

The other person was a man in his twenties, less than 1.7 meters tall, slightly overweight, wearing old-fashioned glasses, and a short-sleeved shirt with his own drawing of an anime girl printed on it. He looked no different from an ordinary fat otaku.

However, appearances can be deceiving. Although this person is not a character from any anime, his work, Tsuchimikado Fuyu, is quite well-known. Several currently popular fantasy works are adaptations of his manga, and they have been very successful.

Moreover, his forte is not drawing sexy and beautiful girls, but rather various exciting battles, which he draws exceptionally well. Even when the author learned that he was the one who adapted the manga "Battle Through the Heavens," she strongly recommended him and asked Tsuchimikado Fuyu to choose him.

Of course, he's also very skilled when it comes to beautiful girls.

After all, he used to be a doujinshi artist, and not just any doujinshi artist, but a proper 18+ artist, before he switched to drawing serious comics.

Tsuchimikado Tou talked with him for a long time and found that he was indeed able to grasp his own ideas very well. So Tsuchimikado Tou selected a fight scene from the first volume and asked him to draw it later. If he was satisfied, then they would sign a contract and start working.

This is a normal process. After all, if you don't see the actual effect of the drawing, no matter how well the other person talks, it's useless.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you, Master Kuburo."

"Not at all, it's my honor to be able to draw a comic for Battle Through the Heavens. I really love this light novel." The other person quickly stood up and said.

This wasn't just flattery; Tsuchimikado Fuyu could tell that he genuinely loved Battle Through the Heavens. He had studied many details of the book very thoroughly, and there were some parts that Tsuchimikado Fuyu had almost forgotten, yet he could immediately recall them.

Just as the two finished exchanging pleasantries and were about to leave, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open. "Wait a minute!"

Chapter 563 Yamada Fairy's Trouble-Finding

"Mr. Yamada, what do you mean by this?" Machida Wanko was furious when she saw Yamada Elf barging in without permission.

They were having a conversation when some unrelated person barged in. To put it mildly, this interrupted their discussion and left a bad impression on the other party and Tsuchimikado Fuyuki.

To put it more bluntly, it means that the editorial department of the library failed in its duty and damaged the library's reputation. Forget about getting a promotion; they'd be lucky if they weren't fired.

You know, she finally came across a phenomenal book and was on the verge of being promoted to deputy editor-in-chief. If this matter affected her promotion and salary increase, she would be devastated.

"What do you mean? I'd like to ask you what you mean too! My comic was just about to be adapted into a manga, and you stole the manga artist I had booked. I never expected you to be so shameless."

"Isn't it just because they're afraid I'll defeat Battle Through the Heavens? They've resorted to such underhanded tactics; it's utterly shameless."

Yamada Elf's barrage of accusations left Machida Wanko and the others completely bewildered.

"Wait, when did we steal your manga artist? Don't slander us, okay?" Machida Wanko quickly said.

"With witnesses and physical evidence, you still want to deny it?" Yamada Elf said angrily to Kuburou, who was trembling slightly.

"Wait, don't talk nonsense. Our teacher Jiu Bulang hasn't taken on any comic book contracts recently. Ever since the last comic he was in charge of was forced to stop updating due to a hiatus, teacher Jiu Bulang has been preparing to become the exclusive comic artist for Battle Through the Heavens."

At this point, the editors at Jiubulang were furious. "Who is this little girl, slandering people everywhere? We won't take on those unknown people, okay?"

Well, that's why he didn't know Yamada Elf's identity, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken in that tone.

After all, in his initial plan, if Tsuchimikado Fuyu refused, the next collaboration he prepared for Kuburou would be the Dark Fairy of Blazing Flames.

Although everyone has reached a preliminary agreement, it is common for the manga artist to be changed at the last minute if Kuburo's manga manuscript does not satisfy Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

After all, unless someone is indifferent to their own work or a writer who has no say in their own work, they will strictly control the adaptation of works into comics and anime.

"Huh? I clearly had the invitations sent to you. Are you looking down on me?" Yamada Fairy said angrily.

Just as the other party was about to mock Yamada Elf, Machida Wanko quickly reminded her, "Although I really don't want to introduce her, I'll introduce her anyway. This is Yamada Elf, the teacher from fudrive."

The other person's expression immediately changed, quickly turning into a flattering one, "So it's you, Yamada Elf-sensei. I've heard so much about you."

We have received your invitation, but we are sorry to say that our Mr. Jiubulang is such a big fan of Battle Through the Heavens that we cannot change his mind.

But don't worry, we've arranged for you a manga artist who's just as good as Kuburo-sensei; you're sure to be satisfied.

"Huh? You mean mine is inferior to Battle Through the Heavens?" Yamada Fairy said angrily.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Machida Wanko said bluntly.

Anyway, she's not one of their authors, so even if she's a bestseller, it won't do her any good. On the contrary, the more popular Yamada Elf is, the less good it will do for their company.

Therefore, Machida Wanko naturally didn't need to give Yamada Elf any face.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you. I want to confront Master Kubero face to face." Yamada Elf walked up to Kubero and said loudly, with an arrogant demeanor:

"I've read all your comics, and only you can perfectly showcase my work. Battle Through the Heavens doesn't offer you any opportunity to truly demonstrate your abilities."

"Although I also like Yamada Elf's work, I prefer Battle Through the Heavens. And compared to the sexy female lead, I prefer the passion and battle scenes in Battle Through the Heavens," Jiu Bu Lang said apologetically.

Putting aside the fact that I prefer the two versions of Battle Through the Heavens, from a purely comic book perspective, if I were to finish drawing Battle Through the Heavens, I would definitely be able to completely shed the label of a comic book artist and become a true comic book artist.

However, if he draws a manga about Yamada Elf, he is no different from before; he is still the manga artist who came out of the doujinshi world but still lingers on the fringes.

Just from this point of view, you'll know which one you should choose.

Hearing Kuburou's direct refusal, Yamada Elf immediately lost face. She looked at everyone with a grim expression, as if they were all ganging up on her. She snorted coldly and stormed out.

After being interrupted by Yamada Elf, no one wanted to continue the conversation. She quickly took her leave and promised to bring the manga manuscript that Tsuchimikado Fuyu wanted next week.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." After Kuburo and the others left, Tsuchimikado Fuyu also got up to say goodbye.

"Um, Teacher Tianyu."

"Hmm? Is there anything else?"

“It’s not that there’s anything wrong, it’s just that child,” Machida Wanko said, pointing to Yamada Elf, who was sitting silently in the lounge.

"She hasn't left yet?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said speechlessly.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't have any ill feelings towards Yamada Elf, after all, that's just her personality; she'll do her best to get what she likes.

Just like in the original series, she challenged Izumi Masamune to a contest because she wanted Eromanga-sensei to draw illustrations for her, and in the end, she not only lost but also lost herself.

"Well, I'll leave that child in your care, Teacher Tianyu. I hope you can persuade her to leave."

"Aren't you afraid I'll end up arguing with her?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

You know perfectly well that she's very hostile towards me right now, yet you still want me to go?

“But it’s not good to leave her there, especially since she’s not even in our library.” Machida Wanko said helplessly, “Anyway, as long as we can get her out of here, it’s none of our business whether she gets into a fight with you, Tianyu-sensei.”

"That last sentence is redundant." Tsuchimikado Fuyu rolled her eyes at Machida Wanko, wondering what she was up to.

After all, if it's just about getting Yamada Elf to leave, there's absolutely no need to send him. Sending him would just be adding fuel to the fire, wouldn't it?

"And what was your answer, Teacher Tianyu?"

"I'll give it a try," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a sigh.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Teacher Tianyu." Machida Wanzi smiled and walked into the office, leaving Tsuchimikado Fuyu alone in the lobby.

However, what Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know was that after Machida Wanko went inside, she turned around and opened the door a crack, secretly observing Tsuchimikado Fuyu's side.

The reason she sent Tsuchimikado Fuyu to find Yamada Elf was certainly not for the simple reason of getting Yamada Elf to leave.

She wanted Yamada Elf and Tsuchimikado Fuyu to become familiar with each other so that if there was anything, Yamada Elf could go directly to Tsuchimikado Fuyu to cause trouble, instead of coming to the editorial department to make a scene every time something happened. This would not only have a bad influence on Kureha, but would also affect her promotion.

As for whether Tsuchimikado Fuyu will argue with her, Machida Wanko thinks it's unlikely. After all, the two got along well at the last fan meeting, so it's unlikely they would become enemies over a manga artist.

Chapter 564 The Sensible Hinata Gokou

"What? Still angry?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu walked up to Yamada Elf and sat down next to her, asking.

"Hmph, who am I? I am the strongest beautiful girl in history, Qingjia. How could I possibly get angry over a mere manga artist? His not choosing me is his ignorance. Sooner or later, I will use my achievements to show him that his choice was wrong," Yamada Elf said defiantly.

"That's spirited." Tsuchimikado Fuyu gave a thumbs up. This was the Yamada Elf he knew; how could she be discouraged by something like this?

"Hmph, you're the same. I'll prove that mine is countless times better than yours, Battle Through the Heavens. I'm the bestselling light novel author." Yamada Fairy changed the subject and said to Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

"Then good luck, and don't mess with our previous match," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

"I haven't forgotten. It's just an anime adaptation. I'm already in contact with them. I don't believe you can be faster than me."

Yamada Fairy has more volumes than Battle Through the Heavens. Although the manga adaptation will be slower and is only being finalized now, it meets the requirements for an anime adaptation. Therefore, in order to win the competition, she plans to pursue both anime and manga adaptations simultaneously.

"Really? Then I'll look forward to it." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said nonchalantly.

Whether or not Yamada Elf is being adapted into an anime, Tsuchimikado Fuyu doesn't care.

Because the anime adaptation of Battle Through the Heavens has been confirmed, and a top-tier animation production company, "Sakura Workshop," has been contacted.

Cherry Blossom Workshop may not be the most famous in this world, but its quality is the best. Its production is excellent. Even if the animation is not popular, it is only because the subject matter is niche, not because the quality is bad.

Furthermore, it selects scripts based solely on quality, not popularity. It refuses to accept scripts that skirt the line or rely on the female lead's sex appeal to gain attention.

It is precisely for this reason that many people see Cherry Blossom Workshop as a studio that likes to "make money on the side." Many of its anime are considered classics by those who like the genre, but are just considered to have good art style by those who don't.

The production of Battle Through the Heavens was initiated by Luoying Workshop, who indicated that the subject matter was very much to their liking.

Although it's not a single-female-lead story, it's not a mindless harem either. Each female lead has her own unique charm, and each one could challenge for the title of "Queen of Moe" every year.

That's right. Although only three volumes of Battle Through the Heavens have been written, several female characters who may be the female lead have already appeared one after another.

Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu's situation is still uncertain, stock market experts have already started betting on their wives.

Of course, the other party did have some requirements. The first requirement was that Battle Through the Heavens must have a fourth volume, and the quality of the fourth volume could not be lower than the first three volumes.

The second requirement is that Tsuchimikado Fuyu has the right to make suggestions, but cannot interfere too much with the animation production. Of course, if they do not arbitrarily change the plot, Tsuchimikado Fuyu has the right to veto.

The third request is about the distribution of profits. This is something the editorial department and his lawyer can discuss. He only wants the final distribution result.

As for buyout

Tsuchimikado Fuyu must be crazy to choose to sell the copyright. Battle Through the Heavens is so popular, wouldn't it be better to get a share of the profits while retaining the copyright?

After all, once it's adapted into an anime, if you own the copyright, you can make an animated movie in the future, which can be quite profitable.

After a brief chat, Yamada Elf made a few harsh remarks, forcefully obtained Tsuchimikado Fuyu's contact information, and then hurriedly left.

This time she was serious. She wanted to win the competition and show Tsuchimikado Fuyu and that clueless Kuburo who didn't know how to appreciate talent who was the best.

As for why he needed Tsuchimikado Fuyu's contact information, it was obviously so that if he won later, Tsuchimikado Fuyu wouldn't deny it, and he could find him.

After Yamada Elf left, Tsuchimikado Fuyu also left the editorial department and went to Kuroneko's house.

Ding dong, ding dong!

Arriving at the door of the black cat's house, Tsuchimikado Fuyu rang the doorbell, and then heard the sound of running footsteps coming from inside. Immediately, the door opened, and there was Itsuka Hinata smiling and saying, "Ah, it's Fuyu-nii."

"Is big brother here?" Hearing Hinata's voice, Tamaki Gokou immediately poked her head out of the room and looked at Fuyu Tsuchimikado.

"Hinata-chan, Tamaki-chan, good afternoon." Tsuchimikado Fuyu smiled and patted her head before walking in and asking, "Where's your sister?"

"Ruri-nee and Mom went out to buy groceries. Mom was so happy to hear you were coming today," Hinata Gokou said with a smile. "Hey, hey, Dong-nii, when are you and Ruri-nee getting married?"

"It's still early."

"Huh? I thought it would be quick." Hinata Gokou said regretfully, "Even though Mom is quite satisfied with Tou-nii."

"Well, these things are none of your concern." Tsuchimikado Fuyu rubbed Gokou Hyuga's head and said, "By the way, these are the snacks I bought for you guys, but don't just eat snacks and not eat meals, or I won't bring you any next time."
