As they spoke, the two of them quickly ran over.

"Mr. Kurokawa—"

"Um, is that Professor Kurokawa?"

The person who heard the voice turned around and saw a face that was even younger than expected.

"Who are you??"

"I'm Takagi Akito, and he's Masashi Moritaka. We're manga artists aiming for serialization in JUMC... though it doesn't seem appropriate to call us that yet. Um... are you Kurokawa-sensei?"

“I see…” Ryougi Kazuya nodded: “If you’re talking about the manga artist ‘Kurokawa Kazuya’ who serializes in JUMC, then it is indeed me.”

Both Makoto Moritaka and Akito Takagi were taken aback.

I never expected... it really was Kurokawa Kazuya himself!

In that instant, the two felt as if they were in a dream.

They glanced at each other, and the excitement in each other's eyes was clearly visible.

Chapter 1147 Position

"I've heard Mr. Iwamoto mention you before, the new manga artists at JUMC, your name is Ashirogi Muto, right?"

“Yes!” Takagi Akito nodded. “It’s an honor that Kurokawa-sensei knows our names!”

"You guys are really amazing, you actually managed to spot me..."

"Normally, it shouldn't be detectable?" Zhencheng asked with utmost doubt.

“Very perceptive, isn’t it? Yes, normally it wouldn’t be noticeable.” Ryougi Kazumi nodded and said with a smile, “You should also know that I have a few tricks up my sleeve.”

"Sigh~ Such a little trick..." Shi said with a smile after eating a dumpling.

"Ah, what a little trick."

"Um, who is this..." Takagi Akito asked Ryougi Shiki, "Is she Kurokawa-sensei's daughter?"

"Huh? Haha—" Ryougi Shiki laughed, looking at Ryougi Kazuya who was also stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "What is it, Kazuya? Your junior is really interesting."

"Um...did I guess wrong?"

"Ah, I guessed wrong," Ryougi Shiki said with a smile.

“Although I do have a daughter, she’s only just started elementary school,” Ryougi Kazuya said with a smile. “Shiki is my wife.”

"wife--?"

Takagi Akito and Masato asked in disbelief.

Although both of them look quite young, Ryougi Kazuya should be in her forties... So, what about this person...?

"Is it Ripple Qigong?"

"It's a pity, but the direction is correct." Ryougi Kazuya said with a smile, "Speaking of which, is there something you two need?"

"Yes—yes! Top, hurry up and take it out."

"I know, I know," Makoto Shinichi said, quickly taking out two copies of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and saying, "Um, I hope Kurokawa-sensei could sign them for me!"

"Okay, it's all done."

"It's already done? When—?" Takagi Akito's eyes widened, and when he looked at the two manga, he found that there were indeed two signed names on them.

'Wow, that's fast! I didn't even see it! Drawing comics at that speed... a normal person could never reach that level in a lifetime!!'

"Well then, we're leaving." Ryougi Kazumi waved his hand and prepared to leave with Ryougi Shiki beside him.

"Um... wait a minute." Makoto Moritaka quickly said, "Actually... for our manga... I wonder if I could ask Kurokawa-sensei for some guidance? No, no need for special guidance, just let me watch Kurokawa-sensei draw it!"

"I'm sorry, that's impossible. I don't have the time, and besides, I..."

"Kazumi," Ryougi Shiki said, looking at Ryougi Kazumi, "It's nothing important, and besides, you're free anyway, so let them see it."

“That’s not how it works…” Ryougi Kazuya sighed and said, “What I mean is, even if you watch me draw comics, you won’t learn anything.”

“No one can be sure about something like this if they don’t try,” Makoto Moritaka said. “Maybe I can learn something, or is it that Kurokawa-sensei is afraid I’ll learn your drawing techniques?”

Laughed.

Ryougi Kazuya laughed: "Really... your words are so full of youthful spirit."

He glanced at Ryougi Shiki and sighed softly, "Alright, as Shiki said, I happen to have quite a bit of free time..."

Makoto Moritaka and Akito Takagi exchanged a glance and laughed. This was the best possible outcome!

"Shi, do you have anything to do during the day tomorrow?"

“Ah…no.” Ryougi Shiki nodded. “If I had to say, it would be a walk, but these things feel better at night.”

"Well then, tomorrow during the day, though the exact time is uncertain. I'll go to that hotel and do some drawing... Oh right, I'll draw the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that's getting a reboot soon. This is my only chance... As for where I live, I'm not going to tell anyone. It'll be troublesome if others find out."

"Inside the hotel? — I understand!" Makoto Moritaka clenched his fist tightly.

“Well then, we’ll be going.” Ryougi Kazuya smiled. “With such beautiful scenery and such interesting things to do, it’s a bit boring to talk about comics now.”

With that, Ryougi and Mi left.

This time, Makoto Shinichi didn't stop them. Instead, he took a deep breath, exchanged a glance with Takagi Akito, and then clapped his hands at the same time: "Great!"

Ryougi Kazumi turned around and smiled at the scene before turning back: "What a lively young man... It makes me feel like I've gone back to when I was young."

"What, are you not young anymore?"

"Ah...haha, no matter how young the body looks, the time that has passed has definitely passed. And...as of now, both the body and the soul are already centenarians. At this time, to still perform drawing comics in front of other people...I really don't know what to say...haha."

......

"They're back, and Akito is at the top too."

Hattori Tetsuya looked at the two who had returned to the hotel and asked with a smile, "How was your time?"

"Hmm, not bad!" Takagi Akito nodded and said, "It looks like there are a lot of people... but—we accidentally found a spot that wasn't too crowded, but had a really great view, and we even ran into Kurokawa-sensei there!"

"Hahaha." Hattori Tetsuya said with a laugh, "We already know about this, including that Kurokawa-sensei will be coming here tomorrow. We plan to inform the manga artists currently serializing in JUMC, including those who can't come... Hopefully, they can make it before Kurokawa-sensei arrives tomorrow morning."

"You already knew?" Zhencheng Gaoshang was taken aback.

"Ah, after we parted ways, Kurokawa-sensei contacted the deputy editor-in-chief about this matter. The deputy editor-in-chief suggested that more people should be able to see Kurokawa-sensei's process of drawing manga, which might inspire the current manga artists at JUMC."

"Is...is that so...?"

"Haha, don't worry." Hattori Tetsu patted the two on the shoulders and said, "You two are the heroes of this matter. Even with so many people, you are in the best positions. Don't worry, haha."

Chapter 1148 Painting

"Seriously... why did I even come here in the first place... okay, turn off the cameras, I'll just clap my hands at most, I don't want to be on camera anymore, it's ruined my life."

“That’s Professor Kurokawa…” Eiji Niizuma said, looking at Ryougi Kazuya in the hall below.

“Yeah…that guy,” Shinta Fukuda said, leaning against the railing. “Just looking at him, you'd never guess he’s a manga artist. And yet, this person who least wants to be a manga artist is now the most famous one…”

“I definitely feel that way.” Takagi Akito said, looking down at Ryougi Kazuya, “How should I put it… it gives off a very different feeling, unlike any other manga artist or editor I’ve met… although I haven’t met many, haha.”

“Agishiro-sensei—” Niizuma Eiji waved to the two of them and said, “Thank you so much. It’s all thanks to you that I have this opportunity. This is truly a wonderful place… I wonder what Kurokawa-sensei will be like when he’s drawing manga… I can’t wait.”

"Speaking of which, did Professor Kurokawa come alone?" Shinta Fukuda asked with some doubt.

“No, two people.” Makoto Moritaka said, looking at a girl in a kimono standing in the corner of the wall. “She came with that person. I saw her yesterday too.”

“Ah, I know, I think her name is ‘Shiki’.” Takagi Akito said, looking over. “I remember that’s what Kurokawa-sensei called her. She’s Kurokawa-sensei’s wife, but she gives off a… how should I put it, indescribable feeling.”

"I'd say she's very sharp," Eiji Niizuma said. "I feel like a character like that would look great with a sword~ By the way, what's her full name?"

"I don't know. I just heard that Kurokawa-sensei uses 'Shiki' when addressing her, but I have no idea about her surname. Could it be Kurokawa?"

“No, it’s Ryougi.” Iwamoto Yu walked over from the side and said, “It’s fine if you say it, but don’t spread it around. Professor Kurokawa stopped using this name almost twenty years ago. He married into the Ryougi family, and that girl is the head of the Ryougi family.”

"Married into the family? That Kurokawa-sensei?" Takagi Akito said in surprise.

"Ah, it seems that because Professor Kurokawa has no parents, he didn't want Ms. Ryougi to be in a difficult position, so he simply married into the family... As for the Ryougi family... they are probably the actual controllers of this Kanbuko City, since Professor Kurokawa originally lived in Morioh Town."

"About twenty years ago... then wasn't she no longer a young girl at all?" Takagi Akito said in surprise.

"Hey, are you looking to get killed?" Iwamoto Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've got guts, kid. Hope to see you again someday."

With that, he waved and left.

"Huh? Wait...wait—um, I was wrong!" Takagi Akito clearly felt a chill. He glanced at Ryougi Shiki, who wasn't looking at him, and shuddered. He quickly said, "These people absolutely cannot say what I just said!"

"Akito, I'll put in a good word for you with Miki, so don't worry."

“Wait… about Ryougi…” Fukuda Shinta paused and said, “I’ve heard of it. It seems to be a local yakuza group in Kanbuko City… So… Mr. Iwamoto might not be joking?”

Takagi Akito and Makoto Moritaka both froze simultaneously... mechanically turning their heads: "R-really?"

"Ah...really!"

"Alright—all comic artists can go to their seats now. It will take about an hour."

Ryougi and Mi's voices came over.

"Wow, Kurokawa-sensei, the sound came through even though you didn't use any equipment..." Niizuma Eiji said, while his other hand kept drawing something on the drawing board.

"Akito... don't think about these things anymore, let's go quickly." Masato sighed and patted him on the shoulder.

"Highest..."

"Come on, Akito, I don't want to change partners."

Soon, the manga artists, following their initial plan, gathered around Ryougi and Miya's workbench, but only in one circle; the others could only watch via live stream.

The only part of the live stream is the wrist.

"Well... I'll finish drawing one chapter of JOJO here. I have other things to do afterwards, so please bear with me."

"Okay, Professor Kurokawa—"

"Alright... then, let's begin." Ryougi Kazumi picked up her paintbrush, and the next moment—
