MTL - When I Bind the Plot Maintenance System-Chapter 21
Nozaki Umetaro, an ordinary freshman in high school, the only unusual thing is that he has a hidden identity - ah, it is not hidden, he did not deliberately hide it, but no one believed it.
He is actually a love girl cartoonist in private.
The night before the entrance ceremony of the first year of high school, because I was thinking about the long new serialization that the editor said, I didn't think about the setting of the heroine, so I didn't sleep well, resulting in being late in the morning.
As for the injury on the body, this is the occupational disease of the cartoonist! Don't understand the draft! Occupational diseases in the waist, shoulders, neck, and wrists caused by rushing drafts—that is, Nozaki Umetaro used to be a basketball player, but also a young high school freshman with excellent physical fitness. After two days of putting on the ointment, it will be fine. .
Originally, he wanted to ask for leave. After all, physical and mental exhaustion was difficult to control, but he did not want to miss the flower on his chest that would be given to the students at the opening ceremony. Related plots can also be referenced.
And the most important thing is that high school entrance is also a classic setting that can be drawn from among girls' manga. For example, at the school gate, the female protagonist falls in love with the male protagonist at first sight, and the two bump into each other while biting a slice of bread at the corner for the first time, or the female protagonist is a freshman and the male protagonist is the senior student council president. Anything I've longed for—all are good materials.
result…
"Huh?! It's actually out of school!" Nozaki Umetaro, who was finally clear-headed, looked at the empty painting style in the classroom, and then looked at the sky that was about to turn into dusk outside the window. Nozaki Umetaro scratched his hair blankly, and then got involved To the sore shoulder: "his..."
"As a result, the character of the heroine is still not..." Nozaki Umetaro, who was muttering like this, was taken aback for a moment, and the appearance of a young girl suddenly appeared in his mind.
As a professional cartoonist, Umitaro Nozaki immediately took out a pencil and drew it on the square book. His skillful drawing skills allowed him to draw a character design in just a few minutes. It was a teenage girl with simple princess braids, wearing a high school uniform dress that you can see everywhere.
"Well, this is how the heroine looks." After Nozaki Umetaro easily determined this, he looked at the currently blank facial features in the character design.
"If the shape is like this... the face is really cute..." Said, Nozaki Umetaro tried to fill in the facial features on the blank face, and then he drew a pair of slightly sharp, even as if with A murderous cat's eye that is not cute at all.
Looking at the obviously aggressive heroine in the drawing book, Nozaki Umetaro's eyes lit up, he made a decision in an instant, and contacted his dear editor that night.
Then he was called back by the editor, and the editor on the other side of the phone was quite speechless: "Although such a heroine setting is relatively rare, it may be a good direction, but...why should the hero be slapped unconscious by the heroine at the beginning of the game? ?"
"Because I feel very handsome, Mr. Sword!" Nozaki Umetaro's eyes were bright, even if the editor was not in front of him, he looked very excited.
Edit Gong Qianjian: "..."
Editor Gong Qianjian: "What about after that?"
Nozaki Umetaro asked sweetly, "Huh? After what?"
Gong Qianjian took a deep breath: "The follow-up plot trend."
Nozaki Umetaro replied firmly: "There is no inspiration for the time being!"
Then why do you say it in such a proud tone! Gong Qianjian lost his temper, and he held his forehead across the phone: "As I said just now, this is your first attempt at a long-form serialization. If the heroine's character is too aggressive, choose Miss Tsundere's. The character design is not impossible, but it may not be recognized by the public, and the follow-up plot direction will be greatly limited."
"And most readers will unconsciously bring in the heroine. If the heroine's character is too distinct, it will also affect this."
Gong Qianjian briefly explained the advantages and disadvantages of this character, and only after he made it clear, he said: "If you want to stick to this character, it's not impossible, but if you do a good job in the middle and late stages, you may be cut in half. preparation."
"As expected of Mr. Jian! I listened to Mr. Jian!" Nozaki Umetaro said immediately.
Gong Qianjian: "..." No, you can give me an accurate answer?
Nozaki Umetaro didn't listen at all, but thought for a few seconds: "Then ask Mr. Jian to give me another time, and I will think about it."
After hanging up the phone, the editor Gong Qianjian looked at the cat's-eye heroine scanned and printed out in his hand, and thought seriously: "Compared to the protagonist of a long story, being the second female lead by the protagonist's side, or trying to open a short story, would also feel better. good…"
And this hairstyle is too good-looking, it doesn't quite match the face, the black long straight princess might be more suitable.
Then ask Yumeno-sensei (the pseudonym of Nozaki Umetaro) if he has any thoughts on this. Well, in short, it is absolutely impossible to slap the male protagonist at the beginning.
This is a girly manga, not a funny manga!
On the other hand, Nozaki Umetaro was thinking about a question, "Speaking of which...why did I think of this character?"
The next day, Nozaki Umetaro, who came to the classroom, pinched his shoulders, which had almost recovered, and found his place. As soon as he put down his schoolbag, he saw the black-haired boy who opened the door and walked in.
The black-haired boy lowered his eyes slightly, but the curvature of the corners of his eyes was still obvious enough, and there seemed to be nothing reflected in his eyes, which seemed rather cold. He was carrying a schoolbag with one hand, and there were some imperial guard decorations hanging on it that didn't quite match the person's design.
Nozaki Umetaro opened his eyes slightly. When the boy walked in front of him, the character in his mind suddenly became clear, and he shouted out in surprise: "Ah! Miss!"
Zhufu Kongliang, who was about to open the chair, paused, turned his head slightly, and glanced at Nozaki Umetaro, who was staring at his back table.
The classroom, which was quite lively before, was quiet at this moment.
and many more? what miss? ! The whole class once again started complaining in their hearts. Could it be that Zhufu is actually a gangster girl disguised as a man, and Nozaki-kun is a bad boy who protects the eldest!
Due to the situation the day before, Nozaki Umetaro's height and appearance were too fierce (mainly because of occupational diseases that caused his expression not to be controlled), and how could a normal student fall asleep in class with an injury on the first day of school!
As a result, classmate Zhu Fu was not afraid of him at all, and even slapped him directly on the desk. The former, who looked like a bad boy, was not angry at all, and actually went back to sleep obediently, which made the classmates feel Incredible, and had an unstoppable curiosity about the identity of the two.
However, if it's the eldest lady... the other students in the class have their brains wide open, and they can't help but look in the direction of Zhu Fukongliang.
Zhu Fukongliang doesn't like to exercise, and he doesn't like to go out, so his skin is very white, and he doesn't have too strong muscles. Wearing a high school uniform gives people a very clean feeling.
Especially when standing next to Nozaki Umetaro, who seems to be over 180cm tall, he looks petite (?), plus that beautiful facial features that are attractive enough by themselves... If you insist on being a girl, it seems, It seems... it's not unreasonable!
The male students in the class thought at this moment.
The eldest lady of the underworld is curious about high school life, so she disguised herself as a man and entered the campus - isn't it a unique plot of shojo manga!
Nozaki Umetaro didn't notice that he attracted the attention of his classmates, and he didn't realize that he had said something strange, and even his expression became serious: "What's your name?"
Zhu Fukongliang: "..."
Classmates: You really didn't listen to me yesterday! Self-introduction is all in vain!
Zhu Fu Kongliang put down his schoolbag a long time ago, he looked sideways at Nozaki Umetaro, his tone was still calm: "You still haven't woken up today?"
Classmates: Wait, wait? It's a threat! It's a death threat, right? ? Nozaki-san—!
Nozaki Umetaro was surprised: "How do you know? I was thinking about what kind of girl (the heroine) to choose last night, so I'm still very sleepy now."
Classmates: …Huh? Is Nozaki-san a setting popular with women...?
My brain made up for the picture of the bad Nozaki-kun hugging the black hot **** the left and right, and the pupils of the classmates were shaking: ... scum, scumbag? !
Zhu Fukong nodded brightly, raised his hand, stretched out his slender and clean hand, landed on the back of Nozaki Umetaro's head, and pressed down hard: "Go to sleep."
Nozaki Umetaro was not prepared for such an action. When he lost his balance and smashed his head on the desk, Nozaki Umetaro was stunned, raised his head and said in surprise: "This familiar feeling... It really is you! Miss (the origin of the character) !"
Classmates: Classmate Zhu Fu really is—
Zhu Fukongliang's men continued to exert force and repeated: "Sleep."
So Nozaki Umitaro, who was really sleepy last night thinking about the character design, fell asleep with his face down on the table with a peaceful expression just like the previous day.
Classmates: Are you really asleep and not in a coma—you make it clear! What the **** is Missy - Nozaki-san! ! And Zhu Fu, you must be too skilled!
After confirming that Nozaki Umetaro was asleep, Zhu Fukong Ryo withdrew his hand, sat in his seat, took out a book and read it, perfectly ignoring the gazes of other classmates.
My brother said that calling a boy a girl is also a way of bullying. If he is judged like this, he will definitely refuse and beat him back.
But Hagihara also said that he was often regarded as a girl when he was a child, so there is also a possibility that he praised you for being cute and beautiful. To get such an evaluation, you must first judge whether the other party is malicious.
Zhu Fukongliang did not feel malicious, which means it should be the latter, and Zhufukongliang also heard a little inexplicable surprise from Nozaki Umetaro's mouth.
In short, if it's not a bad classmate... then don't worry about it, just make a compromise and let him get a good night's sleep and wake up his brain.
This time, Nozaki Umetaro didn't sleep all day, but slept for half an hour and woke up.
And the first thing he woke up was, he immediately asked Zhu Fukongliang, "Classmate, can you tell me what kind of person you like!"
In this way, he knows what the male protagonist can draw! Nozaki Umetaro was very excited.
Zhu Fukongliang: "..."
Classmates: - Huh? ? ! !
Teacher: ...that is, does anyone still remember that get out of class hasn't ended yet...?
