I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

'This Gandr of mine contains ten years of my lifespan, take it—'

If the magicians still insist on fighting each other recklessly at this point, this is probably the outcome.

Alchemy and Ripple replaced the magicians.

Although alchemy existed in this world, it was very different from the alchemy in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist.

In contrast, alchemy requires relevant scientific knowledge and extensive research.

On this planet, only Ryougi Kazumi, who possesses the power of 'alchemy,' can use it simply by clapping his hands.

Ripple, on the other hand, is a method that utilizes one's own small energy source. It's fine for things like strengthening the body, but the peak of the ripple is also easily limited, since that's the limit of human beings.

As for being inhuman...

How can you use Ripple if you can't even be a decent human being? Aren't you afraid of burning yourself to death?

Magicians focused more on researching spirit hacking techniques and set their sights on the Mooncell on the moon, hoping to use its wish-granting machine to fulfill all sorts of wishes.

The answer is, of course, no...

Mooncell launched the Holy Grail War to deal with the upcoming Yusei.

Before selecting the most suitable Master.

All victors will be sealed away until a true victor emerges.

In other words, under such circumstances, Western European conglomerates gradually revealed their true strength and began to cooperate with the Holy Church, moving step by step from the position of 'world's richest' towards 'world's ruler'.

However, this process will naturally involve bypassing some areas.

For example... places related to Yin and Yang and Mi.

During the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, Ryougi and Miyabi fully demonstrated one thing—even without magic, they still have Gundam!

A Gundam that can go toe-to-toe with Servants, can fly, and can launch pollution-free nuclear bombs.

Moreover, with the passage of time and the advancement of science, Gundam will continue to grow stronger... Yes, that's right, it's Knightmare from the Code Geass world.

And so, 2008 came to a close. The new year of 2009 arrived.

Although something is stirring up in the world, on the surface, the world is at peace.

The city of Kanbuko also celebrated its annual fireworks festival, which was even more grand and spectacular than in previous years.

after all...

Ryougi and Mi left this world a hundred years ago, and during that hundred years they had almost no money.

The items in the noble district of Soul Society are indeed quite good, but they are ridiculously expensive. His salary as a vice-captain isn't even enough to cover his expenses, and they're gone in no time. Fortunately, he has royalties, but the royalties from 'Seireitei Communications' aren't much, which is quite frustrating.

Later, he made a fortune by relying on his understanding of the present world, or rather, the future, which made him feel a little better and allowed him to spend money extravagantly.

Now that I'm finally back, of course I can do whatever I want.

He's spending lavishly, operating according to his own ideas...

It feels so good to have the Golden Rule guiding you.

Chapter 1142 New Year

"Is this the place... Kanbuko City..."

Makoto, pushed back slightly by the crowd, exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many people here! Was there always this many people in Guanbuzi City?"

"I don't know, I've never been here before, how would I know?" Takagi Akito shrugged and looked around. "The fireworks festival seems to be going on for three days starting tomorrow... Isn't Azuki here?"

"Um...that...I didn't ask." Makoto paused, then said with a blissful expression, "But I have a feeling she'll definitely come. Maybe we'll have a fateful reunion then~"

That's enough...

"Alright, alright, let's go to the hotel we booked earlier. Look at this crowd, it's lucky Mr. Hattori booked a hotel for us, otherwise we wouldn't have anywhere to stay!"

Since 2000, the city that has changed the most in this country is Kanbushi.

The other cities remain largely unchanged, but entry and exit to Fuyuki City are now prohibited.

Meanwhile, Guanbuzi City, the city where Ryougi and Mi resided, underwent tremendous changes.

If you feel this city is lacking something, then build it!

If you feel like you want to play something, then build it!

If something seems good, then buy it!

Thus... under the unconscious influence of Ryougi and Mi, and also under the influence of the Golden Rule, the city began to transform rapidly.

All of Liangyi and Mi's own expenses were absorbed by these tourists who came to the city, resulting in a profit rather than a loss for them.

Meanwhile, Makoto Moritaka and Akito Takagi also finished serializing their new work in Shonen Jump CNIXE.

That being said, aside from the initial monthly prize and the subsequent Tezuka Prize, this was actually only their third work...

Although...

Because of their shared dream and the pursuit of the truest form of love, they are eager to achieve something, but there's not much they can do right now, so they can only wait for the results of this JUMCNIXE competition.

Before that...

I think you should go out and have some fun.

The two were advised by their editor, Hattori Tetsuya.

Even if you just draw relentlessly without thinking about anything else, there's a limit. Taking a break might spark some new inspiration... By the way, there's a fireworks festival coming up in Kanbuko City, organized by Kurokawa-sensei. Although it's said he last attended the JUMC annual meeting six years ago, you might actually run into him if you're in that city. Getting some guidance from Kurokawa-sensei might help you progress even faster, hahaha.

Using this excuse, the two were finally brought to the city.

"No way—is this really the place?" Makoto Moritaka stared wide-eyed at the magnificent hotel in front of him.

"It should be true..." Takagi Akito's gaze darted back and forth across the address in his hand, confirming. "Even though it's said to be Kurokawa-sensei's free hospitality gift to the JUMC editorial department every year... this is just too much..."

"It seems to be true," Zhencheng said, pointing to a sign on the side.

JUMC Cartoonist Hotel

"That's awesome!"

"That's great... If only we could start serializing in JUMC sooner..." Makoto Moritaka clenched his fist. "We were just lucky this time. It just so happened that JUMCIXE was happening at this time, so we made it in time. But... I heard that JUMC has all sorts of other perks that you can only enjoy after you get the serialization rights..."

"Ah, well, good luck anyway." Takagi Akito nodded. "We'll come here next year too! You can bring Azuki with you then. I think it's allowed to bring people."

"Ahem... Well, let's go inside anyway." Makoto Moritaka coughed twice. "According to Hattori-sensei, it's not just us who's here this time... Other manga artists, no... Eiji Niizuma might be here too!"

"Eiji Niizuma... Anyway, the fireworks festival is tomorrow, let's go check out the hotel first."

"Um... is it really okay for us to go out like this on New Year's Day?"

"What? You didn't tell your family?"

"Ah... I did say that... but, never mind, let's go anyway!"

At the same time—within the same hotel.

"How strange..." Hattori Yujiro looked at the room in front of him and knocked on the door. "There's no music coming out. Is this really where that guy lives?"

Every time he went to Eiji Niizuma's house, he saw almost the same scene—

Eiji Niizuma, drawing at breakneck speed, and music playing at an enormous volume.

The music was so loud that it could be heard clearly from outside the door. Every time he went there, the neighbors would look at him with strange eyes, but he wouldn't listen to them no matter what they said!

Once inside, even if you speak loudly, Eiji Niizuma can't hear you at all; you have to shout right next to his ear.

This is so troublesome!

But now, there's not a sound at all...

Hattori Yujiro pressed the doorbell with some doubt, and after a long while there was no response, he twitched his lips, took out his spare room card, and opened the door.

After all—the people inside the room can't hear a thing, they don't hear you when you knock, and they don't answer your phone. If you don't have a key, you'll never be able to get in!

boom--

Boom boom boom—!

The moment the door opened, deafening music filled the air.

"This guy... no wonder I couldn't hear the knocking, was the music louder?!" Was it because the soundproofing was good that I couldn't hear it? Damn it!!

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Although this isn't my first time at this hotel, no one would play music at this volume in a hotel room!

Aren't you afraid of deafening yourself?

"Just now..." Makoto, who had just come upstairs, looked at the room where all sounds had disappeared as the door closed and he asked, "What was that?"

“It’s a manga artist’s quirk…” Takagi Akito thought for a moment. “Everyone has their own hobbies… But the soundproofing here seems pretty good. There wasn’t a sound at all after that door closed just now.”

"Anyway, let's go. My room is 604, and Akihito's is 605, right?"

Zhen Shisei Moritaka's lips twitched slightly as he spoke: "Just now... the room that made that noise sounded like room 603..."

Chapter 1,143 Supreme He Qiuren

First, first, first, first...

Lying on the bed in the room.

Sincerity is paramount; keep repeating these words in your heart...

Although it's confirmed that the new work will be serialized on NEXT!, it's still unknown what kind of results it will achieve. He just barely finished drawing it and was then advised to come here.

There are still countless unknowns.

"Ah...I just want to lie here and do nothing...it feels so good..."

"Ding-dong-"

"Akito..." Makoto Moritaka struggled to sit up, walked over, and opened the door.
