Daily life in anime: Not the male protagonist of Asahi

On the train, Yuan Qingkong leaned against the corner of the carriage and didn't want to move at all. Fujiwara Chika's competitive spirit was too strong.

Yuan Qingkong glanced at Furumi Shoko who was standing next to her. She didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

「What does a cartoonist's assistant do?"

Kojima Shoko typed on the notepad and then handed the screen to Yuan Qingkong.

"Assistant."

When signing the agreement with the publisher, Editor Hattori mentioned this matter. I didn't expect that Komi would be interested in this.

"Generally, if the work passes the passing line within 5 weeks, the publisher will arrange an assistant for the cartoonist."

"There are two types of assistants"

"One type is the assistant who wants to become a cartoonist who is still learning."

New cartoonists who have just debuted, whose works are not good enough for serialization, but feel that they still need to practice, will choose to become assistants to cartoonists.

Generally, they will practice their cartooning skills and challenge their cartooning dreams in their spare time until their paintings are successfully selected for serialization, and then they will consider starting their own studio.

"The other type is a professional assistant who has given up on becoming an independent cartoonist but has high points in auxiliary skills."

"The assistant's job is mainly to draft, outline and color.

Yuan Qingkong explained it to Gu Jianxiaozi in detail, and she nodded as if she understood.

"Why is Mr. Komi interested in this?"

「"Secret!"

It seems that Komi-san is also planning something, Gen Aozora thought.

Hattori editor generously offered 10,000 yen per manuscript, which is almost the highest price for a newcomer. The price can be raised according to the serialization performance, but the price is to sign an agreement with the publisher, and even if the book is cut short, it cannot be serialized in other publishers.

"By the way, how long will it take to get to Furumi-san's house? Should I bring a gift or something?"

Furumi-san, who was originally calm, became nervous again after hearing this.

She looked at Yuan Qingkong with complicated eyes. It was her first time to bring a friend home, and the closer she got to home, the more nervous she became. She had always longed for her friends to come home, but she was a little embarrassed to let others know about her private life. She wondered if her mother would misunderstand that she was dating Yuan, etc. Various thoughts were spinning in her mind.

"Komi-san?"

「Well, we'll be there in about ten minutes, so you don't need to bring any gifts."

After getting out of the train, I followed Komi Shoko and walked for five minutes until we arrived in front of a single-family house that was nearly as big as a villa.

From the surrounding buildings and environment, it can be seen that this is obviously a wealthy area.

Komi Shoko took a deep breath, took out the key and walked to the door. Her hands were shaking with nervousness, and she couldn't even aim at the keyhole.

"Let me do it."

Yuan Qingkong took the key from her and opened the door, and walked in before Gu Jiao Nitro without any hesitation.

"Excuse me!"

Then a beautiful woman in an apron and holding a clothes basket walked out from behind the stairs leading to the second floor, and she met Yuan Qingkong's eyes.

Whether it was her figure, appearance, or intimidating eyes, she was 90% similar to Furumi Naoko, and people could tell at a glance that they were family.

The only difference was that she had short hair, while Furumi Naoko had waist-length hair.

When she saw Furumi Naoko also walk in and stand next to Yuan Qingkong, her expression instantly became excited. She put the basket in her hand directly on the floor, covered her mouth and said in disbelief:"Oh, are you Naoko's friend?"

"It's our first meeting, welcome!"

She walked to the steps in front of the door, put her hands on her hips and looked at Yuan Qingkong happily, feeling more and more satisfied the more she looked.

"Nice to meet you, auntie. I am Gu Jian’s first friend and also your deskmate."

"My name is Yuan Qingkong."

Furumi Hideko suddenly sat down, placed her hands flat on her knees and performed a very formal etiquette:"Nice to meet you, I am Nozomi's mother, Furumi Hideko."

It seems that her daughter's first friend is a very important thing for her.

Then the style of the picture changed. She suddenly made a V sign with one hand in front of her eyes and said playfully:"Forever 17 years old!"

Even though Yuan Qingkong knew Furumi Hideko's personality, she was also electrified by this. The mature version of Furumi Nozomi is so charming! Furumi Nozomi

, who was standing aside, covered her red face with her hands. What she was worried about really happened.

Furumi Hideko stood up happily,"Nozomi's room is upstairs, you go up first, I'll prepare snacks and tea."

In extreme embarrassment, Furumi Naoko pushed her mother from behind and asked her to stop talking.

Yuan Qingkong followed her to Furumi's room on the second floor, and he left the door half open after he came in.

After all, it is not good for adolescent boys and girls to be alone with the door closed, and it is in someone else's house.

After entering the room, Furumi Naoko's room broke Yuan Qingkong's impression of a beautiful girl's room.

The furnishings were extremely simple, with some study materials on a bookshelf. The only two decorations were a photo of a black cat on the desk and a black cat doll at the head of the bed.

There was a circular turf-like carpet on the floor, and the furniture was almost all in natural wood tones, and even the sheets and quilt covers were pure colors without any patterns.

Just as simple and pure as Furumi Naoko's personality.

Yuan Qingkong put his schoolbag on the carpet and sat down casually at the small square table.

Furumi Naoko was very nervous. She put a cushion on it and sat on it with her back straightened. Those who didn't know would think she went to Yuan Qingkong's room.

"To be honest, when I first saw Aunt Gu Jian, I thought she was your sister."

"Looking at her eyes, I wondered if she was the same as Gu Jian, and I was thinking about how to communicate with her."

"Unexpectedly, Auntie Gu Jian has an unexpectedly good personality."

As soon as Yuan Qingkong finished speaking, Gu Jian Hideko came in with tea and snacks.

"Hi, I brought the refreshments."

"I heard what Yuanjun just said. From now on, you must call me Sister Xiuzi!"

""Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

When Komi Hideko went out, she actually closed the door.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward.

Yuan Qingkong stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and found a thick photo album.

"Can I take a look?"

Yuan Qingkong looked at Furumi Nishiko with expectant eyes. It was the first time she saw his eyes like that, and Furumi Nishiko nodded shyly.

"This is six-year-old Gu Jian, so cute.

This is a photo of Gu Jian when she was in elementary school. At that time, she still had short hair.

From elementary school to junior high school, Gu Jian learned a lot of things, such as calligraphy, piano, swimming, and painting.

No wonder she is so versatile.

"It's late, I should go home."

Gu Jianxiaozi sent Yuan Qingkong to the door, and watched him walk to the end of the intersection before turning back home.

She returned to the room, sat in the place where Yuan Qingkong had sat before, and thought for a long time.

"Want comic paper and dip pens?"

Furumi Hideko looked at her daughter in surprise. At this time, Furumi Shoko's father had also returned.

Furumi Hideko looked at her husband and said happily,"Shoko rarely asks us to buy things!"
