I don't know, it turns out that the editor of JUMP is also so gossip...

I was ashamed: "That... what do you mean?"

"No, I'm sorry! I'm Yujiro Hattori from JUMP, and I'm the editor in charge of the new wife-kun." The editor Hattori handed over his business card, showing the working mode of his work.

"Ah, hello..." I took the business card and laughed dryly, "Anyway... please come in first."

Standing at the door in the middle of the night exchanging business cards is still a bit strange...

After Yujiro Hattori sat down, his eyes were still full of shock and disbelief.He looked at me, then at his new wife, his expression self-evident.

"That...although I don't know what you imagined, but my new wife teacher and I are just ordinary friends..."

"No!" The new wife Eiji turned around, stretched out her hand and retorted solemnly, "It's an old enemy and friend."

"Yeah!" Being affirmed again, I feel so touched!I nodded again and again, and continued in a gratified tone, "That's right, my new wife teacher is still my old enemy!"

"Hey——" Hattori Yujiro's expression was still distorted. He leaned over to his new wife and asked in a low voice, "New wife-kun, what's going on? Isn't the old enemy Ashiroki-sensei and the others?"

"No, Ashiroki-sensei is someone who can become an old enemy in the future, but now, the old enemy is Iori-sensei." The new wife Eiji held the chair with both hands, did not shy away from me, said in a normal voice, and turned to me after speaking It seems, "Iori-sensei, are you here for something?"

"Ah... that's right, the new work I told you about is finished, I want you to take a look at it for me!"

"Oh oh - ok, no problem!"

The editor Hattori looked like he was facing a big enemy. After I handed over the manuscript to my new wife, he looked at me with a bit of resistance in his eyes: "That... Mr. Iori, my new wife won't fight because of you." He jumped ship to VIBES."

"...What are you talking about, editor Hattori." This person must have seen the forum!What kind of unreliable guesswork did you see!The corner of my mouth twitched, "Well... If you don't mind, can you please read the manuscript? I want to submit to JUMP this time."

"Huh? Really?" Editor Hattori's expression changed from cloudy to sunny in an instant, and his attitude suddenly became affectionate, "Ha, hahaha... I should have said it earlier, I misunderstood."

Where did your misunderstanding go?I resisted not complaining, looked at the two people who started to read the manuscript, and spontaneously got up to make tea... But there is no tea at the new wife's house!

Too!According to the personality of the new wife teacher, there will be no time to entertain guests at all!

Resigned to my fate, I went to my studio to get some tea and snacks. After making the tea, I watched the two of them react nervously.

The new wife Eiji gave out onomatopoeia of admiration throughout the whole process, which made me feel even more disturbed.He put down the manuscript first, then closed his eyes and murmured, and stopped talking.

I waited for a while, couldn't bear it any longer, handed me a cup of tea, and asked, "How about it?"

"I'm very touched!" The new wife Eiji opened his eyes and commented seriously, "I can feel the emotion that you have worked so hard to convey, Mr. Iori, and the open-mindedness that you inadvertently revealed. And Mr. Iori, in order to match the style of this time I deliberately adjusted the style of painting, and this spirit also moved me! To sum it up... Iori-sensei, did you create this work with the feeling of falling out of love?"

"..." I was still listening happily at first, and when I heard the last sentence, the smile disappeared. I stepped forward and put my hand on the other person's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Mr. Shut up."

"Yes—" the new wife Eiji made a movement of zipping her mouth.

"I'm not as sensitive as the new wife-kun, I can't detect anything..." The editor Hattori also finished reading here, put down the manuscript and looked at me, "However... whether as a reader or an editor, I can't say anything about this work Negative comments..."

"Huh? Really?" I have received too many compliments in the past two days, and now I am a little worried from the joy at the beginning, "Is there going to be a but next?"

"That's right, there is a but..." Yujiro Hattori showed a hint of helplessness, "Just now, Mr. Iori, you said... you want to submit an article in JUMP, right? Then do you want to serialize it in JUMP? Based on this work In terms of its uniqueness, almost everyone in the editorial department will give high marks to the work itself, but no one will agree to serialize it.”

"Ah...About this..." I rubbed my nose, "I know this too well...and I'm still in school, and there's still VIBES serialization, so I can't start the second serialization either."

"So... what is the purpose of your submission to JUMP?" Editor Hattori looked at me seriously, "If you have the willingness to switch to JUMP, I welcome it very much, and we can even help persuade VIBES. Of course, if your contract is If you signed the work, then when you go to JUMP, you have to give up the current serialization and start a new work."

"Huh? The purpose..." I scratched my head in embarrassment, "Actually... I have been thinking about whether I should go to JUMP to develop in the future... More than one person said that my works are more suitable for the JUMP series, and Mr. Fukuda also Suggest that I change jobs..."

"Oh—— Fukuda-kun, I'm in charge of him now!" Editor Hattori immediately interjected to help raise impression points.

"Well..." I nodded and continued, "But... I will not give up the serialization of "Today I Start Saving the World". And I also want to get into a good university. I can’t do serialization... But at the same time, I really want to prove myself, and I also want to confirm what level I am in JUMP... And, most importantly..."

I paused and looked at my new wife: "I want to compete with my new wife's teacher. This is my original intention to contribute to JUMP."

As for other purposes, such as selling JUMP booklets better and making more money faster, it’s too vulgar, so I won’t talk about it.

The new wife was stunned, her eyes widened, and she made a gesture to unzip her mouth, and shouted to me with a little excitement: "I am also very much looking forward to the battle with Teacher Iori! I really hope that day will come soon!"

"You..." Editor Hattori looked at his new wife and then at me with indescribable eyes, his face became even more difficult, "Then... Iori-sensei, do you want to vote for this work on "Akamaru Jump"?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

"No." Editor Hattori looked at me with regret, "The standard of your work is enough to publish, but it is a disaster for other works of the same period to be published in "Akamaru JUMP". And "Akamaru JUMP" has always been a A key springboard for choosing serialized works, as an editor of JUMP, he would not agree to such behavior."

"Hey..." I didn't expect how to publish the work after it was finished, it became a difficult problem, and I was a little troubled, "Then...that is to say...my "Love and Grave without Tombstone" can't be published on JUMP? Then I'm still at VIBES..."

"Wait a minute! There is another way!" Yujiro Hattori showed a trace of reluctance, his face was full of struggles, and finally he decided, "I can discuss with the editor-in-chief to have your work published on SQ... But because this is a work that ends in one episode, it's not serialized. I can't guarantee success, I can only try my best. Can I take your original manuscript with me?"

"Hmm..." I stared at the other party for a long time, then quietly approached my new wife and asked, "Mr. Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Xin, is this person reliable? He won't make a fuss about absconding with a manuscript, right?"

My new wife, Eiji, also replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Hattori is not a new editor at JUMP anymore, he should not be that kind of person."

Hattori Yujiro: "...You guys, I can hear you."

"I'm just kidding, Mr. Hattori. Then I'll leave it to you!" SQ's words... are indeed suitable for the type of subject I am currently painting.

"JUMPSQ" is different from "Weekly Shonen Jump". First of all, it is a monthly magazine. Secondly, its themes are relatively loose. In addition to boy manga, shojo manga, youth manga and even essay novels will be published, and the content of the works is also relaxed. There are all kinds of allusions to social reality and descriptions of the dark side of human nature.

This work of mine is indeed more suitable for publication here.

After handing over the manuscript to the editor Hattori, he asked about my situation in VIBES.

I replied truthfully: "Very good. Although my contract is about to expire, I will continue to choose to sign works when I renew the contract, so it will not affect my submission elsewhere."

"That's it..." Editor Hattori understood, "I've seen your work, and it's a pity to put it on VIBES. If it's in JUMP, the popularity and sales of the booklet will be better."

"But in JUMP, I'm afraid I was cut in the early stage... because I couldn't hand in the manuscript." I smiled helplessly, "Last month, I was too tired to prepare for serialization and new works. I was really in school. It will be serialized in JUMP...I'm afraid I will be admitted to the hospital in less than half a year."

The rush to draft these days has really exhausted me.

"That's right, I almost forgot, Mr. Iori, that you are still in school... may I ask which school you are in?"

"Ah, I'm in the Bingdi High School." I scratched my face a little embarrassedly, "Our school still needs to take enough extracurricular credits every semester, and the number of times of leave is also limited... I don't join any clubs and only choose those with high credits. The activities make up for it, but once you encounter a bottleneck, you still feel that you don’t have enough time.”

"Ice Emperor..." Editor Hattori said in an admiring tone, "I remember this school is private, right? It seems to be very expensive."

"But at the same time, the scholarship is also very high, and all kinds of infrastructure are complete and good." After boasting about my school, I realized that this time has become a small talk, and immediately decided to leave, "Mr. Xinwife, I will go back first. , thank you today."

"You're welcome!" My new wife Eiji made a gesture of salute to me, and suddenly sighed, "I always feel that the refreshments are more delicious when Mr. Iori is around."

"Mr. New Wife..." I looked at him with a moved face, and after a few seconds, my expression collapsed, and I couldn't help but hold my forehead, "That's because you don't have any refreshments here, and I always bring them with me every time I come! "

"Ah, it seems to be like this!" The new wife Eiji suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Okay——after eating the condolences from Mr. Iori, I will work hard to meet Mr. Iori's expectations!"

As the new wife said, she rushed to the painting table, picked up a pen and began to draw in large strokes.

"Come on, Mrs. New Wife—" I routinely called and got up to leave.

After walking into my studio, I looked at the time, called my mother and told her that I slept in the studio today. After washing up, I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, feeling sleepless for a while. .

This is the first step to JUMP...

"Ahhh—it's finally over!" I stretched, and when I was about to fall asleep, my phone rang.

I turned over and stretched out my hand to grab the phone on the table, lying on the bed to read new emails.

[from Tetsuya: I decided to practice shooting. 】

"...Huh?" I sat up in shock, "Tetsuya? Shooting?"
