Cartoonists and their assistants

At the dining table, Eriri's gaze fell upon them.

"Going to buy books."

"I am Mizuki Machi replied."

"I see, so he went to find that woman."

The girl gave a slightly jealous snort.

Beside them, both Saho Ashisu and Chiyo Sakura wore expressions that resembled sweaty, smiling faces.

The smell of vinegar was so strong that they could smell it too!

Mizuki Machi ignored the somewhat repetitive statement and instead asked Sakura, "Sakura, how does it feel to start work today?"

"It feels pretty smooth, probably because I've been practicing at home for a long time."

Sakura Chiyo thought for a moment and said.

"Ms. Sakura's skill level will probably be able to replace mine soon."

"Itsuka Saho said with a faint smile."

"Oh, not at all. I'm still not as good as Miss Ashisu. For example, I'm drawing backgrounds way too slowly right now..."

"These things can be solved as long as you get more proficient."

Judging from the conversation, the two assistants got along very well.

For some reason, it seems that Ms. Ashisu has a good impression of Sakura.

"I've seen it too. Sakura's skill level has indeed improved very quickly. No wonder she's someone I've chosen."

Eriri adopted a teacher's demeanor and offered her critique.

"Didn't I see it first?"

He was full of questions.

"Who said that? I've had my eye on her ever since I was in the art club when we enrolled."

"You call that? You're just taking all the credit."

"Okay, then let me ask you! Who understands painting better?"

Is there any necessary connection between these two things?

Sakura Chiyo panicked as she watched the two teachers bickering because of her. She wanted to stop them but didn't know what to do. Just as she was fumbling around, Ms. Ashisu pulled her aside and whispered in her ear:

"Shh~ The teacher is just using this as an excuse for the couple to bicker."

"That's it, I understand."

Sakura Chiyo nodded in sudden realization, then gave a smile like an aunt.

After their usual bickering, the childhood sweethearts turned around and noticed her expression, feeling completely bewildered.

......

"This is a new work recommended by Takasago. I've already read it. Although he's a newcomer, his work is top-notch. I wanted to recommend it to you all, so I bought a few more copies."

"seriously?"

"Did the teacher give it such high praise?"

"I want to see!"

Mizuki Machi took three copies of "Fantasy Demon Blade Chronicles" from the sofa and handed them to the three people.

"Damn, is this the level of a newbie? That's incredibly impressive."

"Such amazing writing skills, the imagery is so vivid."

"so amazing!"

The three quickly immersed themselves in reading and gave it unanimous praise after finishing it.

"Wow, I checked, and this Senjumura Masaru might be a junior high school student like the teacher."

Sakura Chiyo took out her phone, searched for information, and was even more surprised.

"What!? There are people who are even more... no, just as talented as us?"

Eriri was also surprised.

Fortunately, the other party was just a light novelist, and their competition was not on the same level. Otherwise, she would have really been worried that the other party would steal her thunder.

"The world is a big place, so we can't be complacent because of temporary achievements."

The moon-gazing insight seems to have a hidden meaning.

"I know about that too."

Eriri responded impatiently, seemingly lost in thought.

.......

The emergence of a genius in the light novel world did not affect Eriri's mindset.

After all, she had heard of even that Yamada guy who debuted as an elementary school student.

However, its quality is still far inferior to that of Yuriko Koishita in the world of manga.

Time flies, and it's already the 12th of this month, the day for the release of the latest issue of Monthly Shonen Gangan.

This time, Sakura Chiyo didn't rush to the bookstore to buy it.

After all, as her assistant, she had already seen the plot of this episode, so she wasn't in such a hurry.

So she took some time to visit the art department.

However, she soon regretted it.

The art club president soon approached her and pleaded, "Sakura-san, I heard that you and Sawamura-san are childhood friends and have a good relationship. So I would like to ask you to use this connection to get Sawamura-san back into the art club, even if it's just for occasional appearances."

"Why, why?"

Sakura Chiyo asked with a forced expression.

"Because it will affect our art club's rating with the school. If Sawamura-kun is there, we can hold our heads high with pride, whether it's in front of the school or other clubs!"

The head of the art department said with a sincere expression.

she:"......."

Episode 92, Part 11: Could it be that the teacher is really a reincarnated person?

"I understand. I'll ask when I have the chance."

Sakura Chiyo wasn't the cold-hearted type, so although she felt it was troublesome, she reluctantly agreed.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Sakura!"

The head of the art department put his hand on her shoulder.

After dealing with the department head, Sakura Chiyo joined the art club's activities.

This time, her painting attracted everyone's attention.

"Wow, when did Sakura-san become so good at drawing?"

"He hasn't been to the club lately, he must be secretly training!"

"At this rate, Sakura-san will be able to take the top spot in the art club."

The members all looked over.

"No, it's not that exaggerated. I'm still far behind Sawamura-kun."

Sakura Chiyo replied modestly.

"I've seen Sawamura-kun's drawings too, they're not that different, are they?"

Some people have questions.

She shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Eriri hadn't drawn in front of everyone for over a year, so no one knew how amazing her progress had been since she started her professional career.

Sakura Chiyo, who was her assistant, had seen it many times before.

First, Eriri's drawing skills have clearly improved to a higher level; second, her art style has developed a strong personal style.

A year ago, compared to the manga artists on GANGAN, Eriri's artwork was somewhat lacking, ranking at the bottom and worse than most newcomers. But a year later, she is now close to the middle level.

Although it still doesn't sound very good, it is, after all, the field of professional comics, and the basic threshold is still there. There are only a few people who can still serialize their works even if their drawing skills are not good, and these people are all older than Eriri, by quite a bit, so it is normal that she can't compare to her for the time being.

After all, although Eriri is considered a genius among her peers, she is not the kind of ultimate genius.

......

Chiba Prefecture.

Ruri Gokou spent another boring day at school.

After school, being relatively unknown, she quickly packed her things and left the school.

She didn't go to work at the nearby old bookstore as usual because she wanted to meet the requirements to be an assistant as soon as possible. She decided to spend as much of her spare time as possible improving her drawing skills and temporarily put aside her personal hobbies.

However, before going home today, she still needs to go to a nearby comic book store to buy the latest issue of GANGAN.

Since the goal is to become Yuriko Tsukishima's assistant, it's natural to want to have a deeper understanding of her.

For example, she has already finished reading all of Anohana's content through two volumes and magazines, and has also learned about other manga on GANGAN.

Among them, Tsukimi Rimai's "maschera" aroused her strong interest, and she was completely on the same wavelength.

"Why wasn't it Ms. Tsukimi who invited me...?"

Ruri Gokou couldn't help but think this.

Enter the bookstore.

"Welcome! How can I help you?"

"Give me the latest issue of Monthly Shonen Gangan."

After some time, she returned home.

"Sister Liuli, aren't you working lately?"

The second sister, Hinata, asked in surprise.

"Does Big Sister want to play with us?"

The third sister, Zhuxi, looked at her with innocent eyes.

"I have other things to do right now, so just act like you don't exist."

As Gokou Ruri spoke, she locked herself in her room.

The two younger sisters exchanged a glance.

"That's really suspicious!"

"That's really suspicious."

After entering the room.

Ruri Gokou opened GANGAN and began reading.

"The teacher's popularity ranking for 'Anohana' isn't low either; it's been consistently around seventh place. Is this really something someone my age can achieve? Speaking of which, if I learn from the teachers, will I also have a chance to debut?"

Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that this situation might be better for her life.

"I don't want to think about it anymore."

The girl shook her head and flipped through the contents of the eleventh chapter.

.......

The narrator immediately throws out a suspenseful question.

To fulfill Menma's wish, Jinta must part ways with her again. Faced with this dilemma, what will Jinta do...?

What follows is a conversation between Menma and Jinta's mother about 'reincarnation'.
