Chapter 215
Xiao Tongtong: That’s right.
Of course Gogeng Ruri and Kosaka Kirino are very confident. After all, they can get first-hand information here, so from the beginning, they have been in an invincible position!
.......
In the afternoon.
Kurusubata separated from his sister and her friends, went straight back home, and then sent a message to his fierce rival.
"How about it? You must have read the second volume of Madoka, right? 』
"Don't pretend to be stupid. I know that although you like to sleep in, you will also become enthusiastic when you see a work you like." 』
"I don't believe you are not interested in Madoka. 』
She sent several messages in succession, but found no response.
"Did you fall asleep?"
She suddenly thought of the other person's work and rest habits, so she started waiting. She didn't receive a reply from the other party until after eight o'clock in the evening.
…
In the darkness, a hand suddenly stretched out.
The bedside lamp comes on.
"Is it already night?"
Aoi Makina slowly opened her eyes, waiting for her consciousness to become clearer.
"Gu Gu."
There was a noise in my stomach.
She hadn't even eaten lunch before, so at this point in time, she actually woke up from hunger.
After quickly going to the kitchen to cook a bag of instant noodles and filling her stomach, Aoi Makina saw the message on her phone and responded immediately.
Aoi: I just woke up and saw your message. I felt that you were quite anxious.
Kurusu: You should be the one who is anxious, right? As a famous magical girl creator, I saw your tweet. Many viewers felt unhappy and wanted you to criticize Madoka's works that pretended to be magical girls.
Aoi: Just pretend you didn’t see it.
Kurusu: Then what are you going to do? Many of those in the audience are Merulu, right? Are you sure you don't want to respond?
Aoi: I don’t believe that all those people are people who like magical girls. Maybe they just want to provoke a dispute.
Aoi: I think people who like magical girls are not bad people, so they won’t worry about this kind of problem.
Kurusu: That makes sense, but why do I feel like you're bragging?
Aoi: That’s true. I, who can write Merulu, must be a great good person, so you are the villain who is my enemy, so hurry up and catch me!
Kurusu: You are already in your twenties, why don’t you become a middle school student? Let’s be serious.
Aoi: Then let me tell you about my thoughts after reading it.
after a while.
Aoi: Speaking of which, I suddenly became curious. Teacher Tsukishi seems to be less than twenty years old, right?
Kurusu: That's what I heard. I heard that I just graduated from high school this year. At this age, it's not surprising that I like magical girls.
Aoi: You sound like older people can't like magical girls. You're discriminating!
Kurusu: Stop being weird. Why did you mention this?
Aoi: Actually, it’s nothing. I just want to talk to Teacher Yueshi in person.
After Aoi Makina finished typing this paragraph, she rested her chin with one hand and looked at the moonlight outside the window.
In fact, she knows a lot about the author of Madoka, mainly because her reputation is already loud enough in the light novel world. In order to pursue inspiration and be inspired by others, creators like her will inevitably read about it. Just one volume of the other party's light novel impressed her deeply.
After that, she learned a little bit about the other person's experience, but that was it.
Only this time, her feelings were different, because the other party's creative direction turned out to be magical girls, the subject that made her famous.
"I really want to get to know him and talk to him about magical girls."
Such thoughts inevitably sprouted in Aoi Mashina's mind.
This comes from the creative desire that the creator himself desires from the bottom of his heart.
During this period of seclusion, she seemed to be resting in publicity, and indeed she played games for a long time every day, but her focus was still on creating a better sequel to Merulu.
However, she never found the inspiration she wanted.
Now, I seem to have found it.
The corners of Aoi Makina's mouth raised slightly.
Ever since, she began to contact the teacher Yue Se through her own connections.
...
"Miss Yuanzi, are you saying that the daughter of the president of A2P Co., Ltd. wants to get to know me?"
Hikigaya Hachiman was confused when he received the news from the editor.
Isn't this an old-fashioned drama?
The domineering female president falls in love with me?
Kidding.
When he heard the other party's name, he immediately understood the reason.
"Her name is Aoi Makina. Although she is young, she is already a very famous and talented script writer. For example, the famous magical girl animation Meruru was created by her, so the purpose of her looking for you must be related to this. ”
That’s all for Machidaenko.
The rest is up to him to judge.
"Then let's meet."
he replied.
Anyway, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, and the other party is also a relevant person from a famous production company. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so it doesn’t hurt to get to know him in advance.
Both sides added a line.
"Teacher Moonlight, do you have time this Saturday?" If possible, let's meet up, right? Ah, by the way, where do you live? 』
Aoi Makina couldn't wait to send him a message.
Me: I have time. I currently live in Chiba.
Aoi Makina: Eh, isn't it Tokyo?
In order to facilitate animation, creators usually settle in Tokyo.
This is what surprised the other party.
Aoi Makina: Ah, I almost forgot that Mr. Tsukiro is still a student. In this case, I will go to Chiba to meet the teacher.
Me: OK.
Hikigaya Hachiman chose to accept the other party's kindness.
299 Do you understand the pain of magical girls?
The agreed time and place are chosen by him.
At two o'clock on Saturday afternoon, in a coffee shop he often passes by.
"I'm going out to meet the scriptwriter of Meruru Animation. This is what happened..."
Before leaving, Hikigaya Hachiman told the other girls about this.
At the same time, Yamada Fairy and Senjumura Masaru's eyes fell on Kanayuta.
"Why are you looking at me!"
The latter muttered dissatisfiedly.
Of course, Nayuta knew exactly why they were looking at her.
"I know, I know... Senior, go early and come back early."
She raised her hand as if she had compromised with herself.
This should be considered a work matter, and the senior also told them directly, so the natural girl did not let her possessiveness run wild, saying that she must go with her to feel at ease.
"You finally learned your lesson."
After he left, Yamada Fairy looked at the silver-haired girl and praised her with a wink.
"What do you mean by learning your lesson? I have always been a good girl, don't slander me, A-Ren!"
Kari Nayuta looked confused.
"What a noisy guy."
Senjumura Masaru stopped writing, looked up at the two of them, and shook his head.
...
After waiting at his seat for about ten minutes, Hikigaya Hachiman waited for someone to come.
"Welcome."
Someone pushed the door open, chatted with the waiter for a few words, and then came straight over here.
With soft, wavy chestnut hair, she looks like a high school student. She wears round-framed glasses, and her bulging chest exudes a strong sense of self-assertion. She is dressed in casual pink and black clothes, and looks very relaxed.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Tsukiro? I'm Makina Aoi. It's better to meet you than to hear about you. You are really too young. You can write works like "Summer Returns", "Steins; Gate" and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". You are such a genius!"
Makina Aoi started to praise her.
"It's nothing. It's just luck... Miss Aoi shouldn't be that old, right? She can create such a well-known children's work as "Stardust☆Little Witch Meruru" at such a young age. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I guess I wouldn't believe it."
He turned to compliment her.
He still understood the principle of speaking to people in a way that is human and speaking to ghosts in a way that is not human.
"Hahaha, I would be shy to hear such praise from Mr. Tsukiro."
Makina Aoi scratched her hair and laughed heartily.
This way of speaking clearly shows a bad temperament. Is he deliberately making a fuss?
Hikigaya Hachiman frowned.
"Hehehe."
Aoi Makina seemed to notice his expression, and the smile on her lips changed again, with a soft feeling.
Then, she talked about her purpose and why she wanted to see him.
A few minutes later.
"So that's how it is."
He nodded thoughtfully.
Do you want to find the truth from me because of lack of inspiration?
This question is indeed a very headache for creators.
People's inspiration is often not controlled by themselves, and the birth of an excellent work usually requires many factors. Although personal quality is a major factor, it can only ensure a relatively high lower limit.
Creators usually have many ideas in their minds, but they may not want to realize them, because it is likely that they will not meet their expectations. Many excellent creators will not start working until they come up with an idea that makes them want to create it no matter what.
As a creator of the same magical girl, the other party naturally placed his hopes on himself.
"In fact, in terms of personal style, you and I are not compatible at all."
Holding a spoon in one hand and stirring the coffee and milk, Aoi Makina said leisurely.
She is famous for her lively and cheerful drama works. Although the ending of Tsukiro Makina's works is always happy, the process cannot be ignored. The heavy and depressing style is needless to say.
"The transition between lightness and heaviness is actually just a thought away. It's just the two sides of the same emotion... Miss Aoi, let me ask you first, do you understand the pain of a magical girl?"
Hikigaya Hachiman smiled secretly, then raised his head and said seriously.
