My Cartoonist Girlfriend

"Oh yes, speaking of this."

Quickly holding her son who was about to go upstairs, Asakura Reiko asked, "I checked online before, and it seems that cartoonists will be very busy. The weather will be hot during the upcoming summer vacation. Is it okay for you and Eriri to run back and forth all day? Even if you take a taxi all the time, it will cost a lot, right?"

"Forehead......"

Asakura Kaede had never thought of this and was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, if the weather wasn't so hot, it would be fine, but summer vacation is coming up, and summer is a hot period. Even if you take the bus most of the time, you will still feel hot the rest of the time. And whether it's Asakura Kaede or Eriri, it's okay to go two days a week like before, but if it's summer vacation, the cost of taking the bus will be huge.

Taking the bus or tram is out of the question, as the heat alone would kill you just waiting for the bus.

Seeing her son lost in thought, Asakura Reiko smiled.

"Xiao Feng, Mommy wants to ask you something."

"Ah, what?"

Being pulled by his mother to sit on the sofa in the living room, Asakura Feng was a little confused about what she wanted to say.

"Xiao Feng didn't spend much of the money he earned from writing the light novel, did he?"

After hearing this, Asakura Feng nodded and said, "Yeah, I don't spend money recklessly. Apart from buying myself a new high-end computer, I just bought some games and figurines. Also, I bought you some skin care products and perfumes for you, mom."

"I know you're filial, Xiaofeng." Patting her son's head, Asakura Reiko said with a smile, "In other words, the money was basically not spent, right?"

"Yes, I have been saving it. Why, does your family need money?"

"Of course not. But there's no need to tell you now. Mom just has an idea. Okay, go upstairs."

Asakura Feng was even more confused at this moment. What the hell was going on? After asking about her spending, she didn't say anything?

It's really confusing.

However, Asakura Feng did not continue to ask. After all, his mother would never cheat him. Even the income from royalties was never collected by him.

After watching her son go upstairs, Asakura Reiko said to herself with a smile on her face: "Although Xiaofeng is only 16 years old, and will be 17 in a few months after his birthday, our son is precocious, so it won't be a big problem. Well... If nothing unexpected happens, Eriri will become a cartoonist, and Xiaofeng is a light novelist. In addition, he is Eriri's partner, so we can set up a studio and make it easier for the two children to cultivate feelings. However, there is no need to rush. Wait a few days after the summer vacation, and then talk to Sayuri about this matter and understand her ideas."

.........

Asakura Feng naturally didn't know that his mother was already thinking about so many things for him. During the days of waiting for submission, he didn't let Eriri busy drawing comics all the time, but took advantage of the beginning of summer vacation to rest for two days.

Relax while playing games.

Soon, it was time for the serialization meeting of the Jump editorial department.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, in the editorial department's meeting room, after all the editors had gathered, the editor-in-chief sat in the main seat and said, "Okay, let's start the meeting. Everyone should have received the comics that have been selected for serialization this time. Let's take a look at them all before discussing it."

After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

As the editor-in-chief, he had already read all the comics last night and had already made up his mind about which two comics would be qualified to be serialized next.

After listening to this, the other editors picked up the stacks of comics at hand and started reading. The meeting room became extremely quiet.

As one of the editors, Kaori Isumi naturally skipped Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan and started reading several other comics.

Half an hour later, after she finished reading all the comics, she put down the draft and smiled with relief.

This time the serialization is stable.

It’s not to say that other comics submitted for submission are not excellent. Two of them are quite distinctive and some are well drawn. However, when comparing the two, any discerning person can see that Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan is superior in all aspects.

After all the editors had read it, the editor-in-chief looked at everyone and said, "Well, each of you please speak your mind."

Starting with the first editor in the front, they all spoke out the two comics they had decided on.

As expected, 90% of the names mentioned by the people had Nura: The Rise of Nura.

After listening, the editor-in-chief nodded and said, "It seems that everyone has reached a conclusion. It's pretty much what I expected. The two best ones here are Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan and Chainsaw Man. Although Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan is a manga about monsters, it is still an orthodox boys' manga. But Chainsaw Man is a dark hero manga. Let's look forward to its subsequent performance. Editor Ueda, Editor Ichun, after the meeting, please invite the cartoonists to come and sign the contract. The first serialization will be in the issue at the beginning of August."

After deciding which manga would be serialized, the editor-in-chief announced the names of the cartoonists to all editors. All editors knew that Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan was a collaboration between two people, and they had heard of both of them.

One is Hong Fengye, who is currently serializing a best-selling light novel, and the other is Kashiwagi Eri, a well-known doujin artist in the doujin community.

Seeing the shocked looks on the editors' faces, the chief editor smiled and said, "Okay, just let everyone know that the duo of Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan are relatively young, so please don't reveal their true identities to the public, otherwise it will be difficult to handle the situation later."

All the editors understood and nodded in unison. Compared to the identity of the cartoonist, they paid more attention to the quality of the comics.

The meeting ended here. After coming out of the meeting room, Isumi Kaori dialed Eriri's number quite unwelcomely.

Chapter 126 Asakura Save Me! Version 2.0 (3/3, please subscribe!)

When the phone call came, Eriri had just arrived at Asakura Kaede's house for less than ten minutes. The two of them sat down in Asakura Kaede's bedroom.

Seeing the caller ID, Eriri looked at Asakura Kaede excitedly and answered the phone.

"Hello, Editor Yichun?"

"Good morning, Eriri, I'm here to tell you some good news." Izumi Kaori said with a smile, "The serialization meeting has just ended. You and Asakura-kun's manga has successfully obtained the serialization qualification and will be serialized for the first time in Jump in early August!"

"Really passed? That's great!"

Eriri shouted excitedly and hugged Asakura Kaede beside her.

"Feng Jun! Passed!"

"Yeah, I heard you."

Holding Eriri, Asakura Kaede also had a smile on his face.

On the other end of the phone, Kaori Isumi heard Asakura Kaede's voice, checked the time, and thought about the relationship between the two. She was caught off guard and ate dog food. She thought Eriri should be at home at this time, but she turned out to be with her boyfriend.

As an editor, she suddenly had a premonition that she would be fed dog food many times in the future.

Holding the phone, she waited for the two people on the other side to get excited for a while before she said, "It would be great if Asakura-kun is here too. No need to notify us separately. If you two have time, you can come to the editorial office to sign the contract."

"Okay, we got it! Is this afternoon okay?"

Eriri is very excited at the moment and can't wait to rush to Jump headquarters to sign the contract.

"Afternoon? I see. I'll be waiting for you in the editorial office."

After the call ended, Eriri put down the phone and threw herself into Asakura Kaede's arms again.

"Feng Jun, it worked! It worked!"

Eriri hugged him tightly, and Asakura Feng couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed, so he quickly said, "Okay, be quiet, Eriri, if you keep going like this, you're going to get angry."

After hearing what Asakura Kaede said, Eriri finally responded with a red face, and quickly got out of the other's arms and said, "H!"

"Tsk, you can't blame me for this. It would be abnormal if I didn't react when you rubbed me like that, Eriri."

Eriri was unable to refute Asakura Kaede's words. She could only turn her back and pick up her phone to report the good news to her mother.

Patting his head, Asakura Feng walked out of the room and went downstairs to tell his parents about this.

Although Ying Lili is here today, my mother has already prepared a lot of delicious food and thinks they will definitely pass, but telling her this news will make her happier.

Sure enough, after knowing that the series was approved, my mother immediately took out the few pieces of wagyu beef she had just bought for dinner and prepared to cook them together for lunch.

Well... just keep a normal mind, get used to it, get used to it.

At noon, of course, they had a big meal prepared by their mother. After resting for a while, the Asakura couple drove Asakura Kaede and Eriri to the Jump headquarters.

Not only the Asakura couple, but also Sayuri Sawamura arrived almost at the same time as them.

After the two sides reunited, Asakura Kaede was surprised to find that her father and Sawamura Sayuri already knew each other, and the three of them were talking and laughing together.

Eriri walked beside Asakura Feng and asked quietly, "Feng-jun, when did your uncle get to know my mother?"

"If you ask me, I don't know. I guess the parents met each other at a dinner party one day. After all, the relationship between us..."

"I...what is our relationship..."

Ying Lili hesitated and glanced at the elders from both sides. If anyone didn't know, they would have thought that the two children were getting married.

Asakura Kaede smiled without saying a word, took Eriri's hand, and followed her into Shueisha headquarters.

After arriving at the editorial department, the contract was naturally signed by Asakura Takaichi and Sawamura Sayuri. They had seen this kind of thing many times and would not let their own children suffer any loss.

After reading it and confirming that there are no problems, the contract is signed.

After putting away the contract, Izumi Kaori shook hands with the others and said with a smile, "Well, please give me more advice in the future. Whether it's the serialization of the comics or problems with the plot, you can discuss it with me. I will do my best to assist you two."

After coming out of the headquarters, Asakura Reiko said with a smile: "Oh, I didn't expect that I have also been to the Jump headquarters. It feels really good!"

Asakura Takaichi smiled and said, "Hahaha, but compared to that, I think we should book a restaurant first and have dinner together tonight to celebrate?"

"I think it's okay."

Sayuri Sawamura agreed immediately: "Sure, both sides have time today, it would be great to have dinner together in the evening."

Emmm~~~~

Asakura Feng showed a playful expression and glanced at Eriri beside him. The girl's face was now flushed and she didn't dare to speak at all.

Seeing that her daughter was so shy, Sayuri Sawamura didn't say much, but her actions showed her dissatisfaction. While walking towards the parking lot, she took out her cell phone and started contacting the restaurant.

At this moment, Asakura Kaede's cell phone rang.

"A call from Takasu?"

With doubts, Asakura Feng pressed the answer button.

"Takasu..."

"Asakura, save me!!!"

"..."

Asakura Kaede had a blank expression and didn't know what to say.

Scratching his head, he said in surprise: "Takasu, three times the limit is a sure thing, why did you do it again?"

"No, this time is different! It's hard to explain over the phone, come to my house first, I'll send you the address! Ah, mom, don't call! Beep...beep..."

Looking at the already hung up phone, Asakura Feng said belatedly: "This means that my part-time job was discovered."

There was no choice but to go.

After talking to Eriri and a few elders, Asakura Kaede left alone and went to Takasu Ryuji's house. She had agreed to meet him at dinner.

Half an hour later, Asakura Kaede arrived at the door of Takasu Ryuji's home, a somewhat old apartment.

After ringing the doorbell, Asakura Kaede heard footsteps after a while. The door opened and Takasu Ryuji appeared in front of him.

"Huh... Asakura you're finally here."

"Hey!" He raised his hand to greet Takasu Ryuji and said to Asakura Kaede, "Are you still alive?"

"Can you say something nice? I'm very lucky that I can hold on until now. You don't know how terrible this scene is!" As he said this, Takasu Ryuji moved aside to let the other party in.

"What's so scary about that? Would Aunt Taizi really beat me to death? It's just a part-time job, isn't it?"

As he was speaking, he saw another pair of women's leather shoes at the entrance. From the style, he knew they were not worn by Takasu Yasuko.

"...Takasu." Looking at his friend, Asakura Feng said in shock, "Did you find some girl from a special industry to come to your house? Then I really can't save you."

“That’s not the case!!!”

Chapter 127 Helpers and spectators (1/3, please subscribe!)

Because the Takasu family is not well off, they live in an old-style apartment. As soon as you enter the entrance, you will see an open kitchen, and to the left is a not-so-big living room.

Here, Asakura Kaede met Takasu Ryuji's mother Takasu Yasuko, and another unexpected person.

"Oisaka?"

That’s right, Oosaka Taiga, this guy actually appeared in Takasu Ryuji’s house, which really surprised him.

When Oosaka Taiga, who was eating pudding, saw Asakura Kaede, he bit the spoon of the pudding and took out another one from the bag beside him: "Do you want some?"

"Well, thank you."

Just as he was about to take it, Takasu Ryuji grabbed it and shouted, "I didn't ask you to come here to eat!"

"Uh, sorry." With an awkward smile, Asakura looked at Takasu Yasuko who was sitting next to him, "Good afternoon, Aunt Yasuko."

Although there were guests, Takasu Yasuko was obviously not in a good mood at the moment.

"Good afternoon, Xiao Feng-kun. Long Er, come over and sit down!"

Hearing this, Takasu Ryuji immediately knelt down in his seat, not daring to breathe.
