Chapter 301 "Akechi Mitsuko" appears!
No one expected that Oda Shingo fans would cause trouble at the scene.
"Long live the Demon King! The Demon King will live forever!" The two members of the Oda Army kept waving the banners, almost like fanatics.
There were many comic fans around them. They were stunned for a moment and then started laughing and joking.
Some would stay away in disgust; some were actually fans of Oda Shingo and immediately followed suit by shaking their fists; more people took out their mobile phones and hurriedly took pictures.
The reporters who were originally sitting in the venue also turned around quickly, raised their cameras and snapped pictures.
The scene was chaotic.
Xiaoshan Norilong's face had already turned dark.
The security guards around were stunned for a moment and then quickly went up to dissuade him. But how could the two fans be willing to listen?
"What are you trying to persuade?! Take him away!" Seeing the security guard's clumsy movements, Xiaoshan Norilong quickly covered his lips with his hand, gritted his teeth and gave stern instructions to his subordinates in a low voice.
He immediately responded quickly and directed the security guards to forcefully pull the person away.
Fortunately, no force was used. Oda Shingo touched his forehead helplessly. But I was really a little touched.
This was spontaneously done by fans. They must have also guessed that the special event promoted Hideko Akechi Mitsu, and it must be aimed at idol Oda Shingo. So I came to support idols and add trouble to the Heroes Club.
When the two fans were pulled away, they kept shouting:
"Noriyama Koyama! I am a long-time reader of "Jump" for 20 years! I can't stand you!"
"The heroes of the Warring States Period must be defeated by the Demon King!"
"Sooner or later, the Heroic Society will be destroyed by you who are jealous of your talents!"
"The absence of Oda Shingo from the Heroic Society is like the absence of the snow-white peak of Mount Fuji!"
The sound gradually faded away, and Oda Shimbun secretly gave him a thumbs up, with a small proud smile on his lips.
But there is a small flaw. Next time, remember to say: If I don’t believe in myself in Tokyo, the world will be as long as the night. First there was Tezuka, then Ten, and Mr. Oda even more...
"Are you happy? Your fans have helped you earn face." Todo Koucho whispered in Oda Shingo's ear.
She spoke in a very low voice, but it made Oda Shingo's ears itch.
On the other side, Namikaze Yukaku also exhaled: "It's because of your good comics that you have such firm fan support."
Mikami Yuko said nothing, but looked at Oda Shingo with even more respect.
Normal order was restored at the scene, but many of the editors and reporters sitting in the audience had smiles on their faces that could not express their meaning.
The group is so unlucky. Is Oda Shingo their natural nemesis?
It took a long time for Noriyama Koyama's expression to soften, and he continued to host the special reception for the media stage.
The next questions all revolved around Oda Shingo.
Even though Koyama Noriya suppressed his anger and kept hinting or even stating that we could talk about something else, these media people just wanted to talk about Oda Shingo.
This is what everyone eats! You have the fun of fans pulling banners for their favorite cartoonists. Wouldn’t it be disrespectful if we didn’t follow up and ask?
You still want us not to mention Oda Shingo, are you questioning our professional ethics?
As a result, Noriyama Koyama was so angry that he finally exploded when a reporter asked him "What is his opinion of Oda Shingo?"
"Putting aside the status of president, whether it is personal professional level or character level, I think Oda Shingo is not worthy of our group of heroes!"
"Several of his works have attracted the attention of some comic fans in the market by relying on a little gimmick and opportunistic content!"
"Manga fans were only deceived for a short time, so we chose an outstanding manga artist like Hideko Akechi Mitsuru!"
"Without contrast, there is no harm; without juxtaposition, there is no height!"
President Noriyama Koyama even became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke. He stood up and slapped the screen showing the comic pages with his hands.
"Look at the comic book "Goblin Slayer". How excellent it is, like a work of art! How do Oda Shingo's works compare?! How do Oda Shingo and Akechi Mitsuhide compare?!"
"The comic "Goblin Slayer" fully demonstrates the cultivation, skills, skills and character of an excellent cartoonist!"
"Ms. Hideko Akechi Mitsuko is definitely an excellent cartoonist who fits our "Jump" motto of liveliness, struggle, enthusiasm, and positivity!"
Immediately, a reporter asked: "So the promotion for this event stated that Teacher Akechi has been invited, when will she appear?"
"The next session will be a time for popular cartoonists to meet with fans." Noriaka Koyama introduced confidently.
Then there were a few innocuous questions, and everyone's attention was focused on the cartoonist's upcoming appearance.
Some staff began to move the seats and set up a new row of cartoonist seats.
Soon a cartoonist sat down, but the seat with [Akechi Mitsuhiko]'s card was empty.
Noriaka Koyama covered his mouth with his hand and asked the director of this magazine in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Oda Shingo would arrange such a way to disrupt the scene! It's really rude! Are our arrangements ready?"
The arrangement he was talking about was that when Hideko Akemitsu appeared on stage, fans came forward to send flowers, and some knelt down to beg for autographs, creating an atmosphere of great popularity.
"Don't worry, we hired professionals!" He specially hired actors and actresses to pretend to be passers-by and comic fans.
Of course, it won't be a famous actor, nor can it be a bit player who often appears, otherwise everyone will look familiar.
Japan may lack other things, but it definitely does not lack actors, even better than Hengdian in China. Spending hundreds of thousands of yen to find a few actors with excellent acting skills, reasonable fees, and hard-working performances is definitely not a problem.
Koyama Noritaka nodded: "Okay, then we will wait for Akechi Mitsuhiko to come. Where is she?"
"It's said to be here soon!" the head of this magazine replied immediately.
He turned his eyes to the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief knocked the editor Keiji Kamefuji hard, and the latter quickly called "Akechi Mitsuhideko".
The call was quickly connected, and a woman's voice came: "I have already entered the venue. I am quite shy and introverted. I hope you can read my name and appear."
"Understood! Just wait until you arrive!" Kamedo Keiji quickly replied.
It's a pity that he didn't know that the person answering the phone was Mrs. Yukino who was watching the live broadcast remotely.
Kamefuji Keiji immediately conveyed his intention to the minister.
"This is not shy, it's obviously a ceremony to appear." The director of this magazine muttered, but also informed Noriaka Koyama.
Xiaoshan Zelong nodded, as long as the people are here. They tried to look for it. But there were dozens of people at the scene, many wearing masks and sunglasses, and it was hard to tell which one was who.
No one had ever doubted their identity before. At most, some people felt strange, but they didn't think of Oda Shingo.
People are used to recognizing faces of celebrities, but they almost always have a rough impression of cartoonists. After all, they just admire the talent of cartoonists. So when Shingo Oda and the four of them put on masks and sunglasses, they were almost disguised.
To take a step back, almost all fans' impressions of him are that he is young, handsome and elegant. Even if Oda Shingo didn't hide his appearance, probably only the kind of yandere female fans who really want to marry him and watch the videos every day would recognize him.
Of course, Yuko Mikami has a special body shape, so she deliberately wore a large windbreaker today with shoulder pads to make her body look stronger. At least she would not think of her cosplayer status from Tatsumaki's body shape.
"Dear readers, you've been waiting for a long time, please come this way." The staff gave guidance.
More than a hundred comic fans who were lucky enough to win the qualification were invited in and began to circle around the scene in an orderly manner.
Oda Shingo looked around the entire place. The walls around him still had the same comics and club history that he had seen when he first came here.
He smiles.
Even if you don’t leave your own photos or records on the wall in the future, it can only mean that it is an incomplete record.
In the history of Japanese comics, it is impossible to avoid your own name!
After the entire audience was almost seated, this special event in the lobby of the Qunying Society Building officially began.
Noriyama Koyama covered his lips and asked the director of this magazine in a low voice: "Are the actors in place?"
"No problem! If someone takes Hideko Akechi's seat, they will come immediately to express their sincere admiration!"
Xiaoshan Zelong nodded with satisfaction.
Soon he passed the microphone, and his voice echoed throughout the audience as the volume increased:
[Next, let us warmly welcome Ms. Mikiko Mishima, the author of "Broken Dawn". 】
The auxiliary lighting was like a searchlight, and a young woman sitting in the seat of "Mikiko Mishima" stood up and bowed to everyone in the shining light.
There was a burst of applause.
Meet-and-greet event with popular cartoonists begins.
The cartoonists were introduced one by one, and finally they came to the last one.
"Akechi Mitsuko" still has a vacant seat.
The place became very quiet.
Comic fans excitedly looked at the several cartoonists on the stage, and more of their eyes fell on the empty seat of "Hideko Akechi Mitsuru".
Xika is here but no one is on stage. He must be on stage for the finale, expecting everyone’s applause and cheers, right? Everyone at the scene was guessing this.
Noriyama Koyama scanned the room, trying to see a certain lady approaching.
He believed she would not give up.
On such an important occasion, no one would dare to offend Qunying Society! Koyama Noritaka and others were very sure that Teacher Akechi would appear.
She must be very beautiful, that's why she is willing to appear on the stage to satisfy everyone's appetite.
That would be even better and more gimmicky!
Noriyama Koyama thought of this, but he was a little excited. He grabbed the microphone and said loudly: "Next, please give a round of applause to welcome the author of "Goblin Slayer" who is loved by thousands of readers, our newly rising genius, Ms. Akechi Mitsuhide. !”
Whoops - the scene suddenly burst into warm applause! Many fans also cheered.
Editors and reporters from media websites took up their cameras.
But the place is still empty, and no author has come out from the screen or other places.
Everyone in the audience was puzzled, even Koyama Noritaka was a little confused.
But after all, he was a person who had experienced a strong wind. He immediately smiled and said: "It seems that our applause is not enthusiastic yet."
Immediately, amid a burst of echoing laughter, more enthusiastic applause broke out.
But in the end, no woman came over.
Noriyama rolled his eyes, and immediately motioned to the director of the network department to get up and sit in Akechi Mitsuhiko's seat.
At the same time, Noriyama Koyama stood up and personally moved the seat card of "Akechi Mitsuhide" to the vacant seat next to him.
The whole audience burst into applause.
Everyone understands that this fully demonstrates the importance that Noriaka Koyama, the president of the Kunei Club, attaches to Akechi Mitsuhideko!
I'm optimistic about you! Come sit next to me!
It's like the supreme courtesy of a general asking a certain daimyo to sit next to him!
There was a lot of discussion in the audience.
"marvelous!"
"President Noriyama Koyama is truly a polite and virtuous corporal!"
"Oda Shingo is a traitor in the eyes of the Heroic Society, and Akechi-sensei is the cartoonist he wants to fight against! Naturally, the Heroic Society respects him very much!"
On the stage, Xiaoshan Norilong smiled and extended his warm invitation for the third time:
[Please invite Teacher Mingzhi to come on stage. 】
The whole audience almost held their breath, waiting for the long-awaited Hajime to appear.
However, still no woman came to the stage.
Everyone started to be surprised, something seemed to be wrong!
Just when the discussion was about to start, a young man in a suit stood up among the people sitting below.
He strode to the stage and took off his mask and sunglasses.
Those who reacted quickly noticed that all the faces of the middle and senior management of Qunying Club on the stage had changed!
Especially the president Noriyama Koyama's face turned black immediately!
Then, as if he figured something out, his face quickly turned pale again!
With the whole audience watching, the man walked around the table and sat down at the seat of "Akechi Mitsu Hideko"'s seat card.
The whole set of movements is full of confidence, smooth, generous and steady!
And the location is right next to his arch-rival, President Noriyama Koyama!
[Hello everyone, my name is Oda Shingo, my pen name is "Akechi Mitsuhideko"! 】
