บท 548: Youtful Spirit! 2

"Boss," Sasaki who was the editor-in-chief, greeted him.

"Sasaki-San," Yuuki nodded.

"Everyone is ready and we can start the meeting," Sasaki said with a formal tone.

"Sure," Yuuki nodded and turned toward both Utaha and Eriri, "Iida will accompany you, you can look around, I will go to the meeting shortly."

Iida, who was eating cup ramen on her desk, was startled. She coughed up her ramen, "Cough! Cough!"

"Alright, don't worry, this place is quite fun," Utaha said.

"Ok," Eriri felt a bit disappointed since she couldn't join the meeting.

Yuuki looked at Sasaki and said, "Let's go."

Sasaki nodded in response.

Both of them walked toward the meeting room together.

Utaha and Eriri walked toward Iida.

"So do you want to tour around this place?" Iida asked.

"Sure, also can you let us see a scene where a newcomer comes to this place and the editor rejects their story?" Utaha asked.

"Yeah, I want to see that," Eriri said.

"Oh, I also want to see an editor trying to support their mangaka and make their spirit burn," the Utaha said with an excited tone. She wasn't done and kept talking about what kind of scene that she wanted to watch in this place.

Iida could sigh and wondered why she had received this job.

Yuuki and Sasaki entered the meeting room together.

There were a lot of people already inside and in front of them, there was a document.

Yuuki sat down and took the document, "Is this the survey data of the Gold Future Cup?"

Sasaki nodded, "Yes, the reader has chosen the winner."

Yuuki nodded and looked at the data, in two weeks the result of the Gold Future Cup would be announced to everyone. He saw the names of his acquaintances there were Ashiragi Muto with Detective Trap, Shinta Fukuda with Kiyoshi Knight, Aoki Ko and Takuro Nakai with Hideout Door, and lastly Koji Makaino with Colorfusical.

"Boss, what do you think of Koji Makaino?"

"Oi, stop it!"

"No, let me talk, boss, don't you think that Koji Makaino is kind of dirty? He is using his fans to help him with the voting."

Even though the other people didn't say anything they felt the same.

Yuuki looked at the number of a vote of those four mangas and it didn't seem that much different. He looked at him and asked, "So what do you want to do?"

"I, no, we want him to leave the tournament."

Yuuki looked at him calmly and said, "You think too much about him, the manga is about interesting or not, the reader isn't blind, you're worrying too much, he is a newcomer in this industry let him know how cruel this the world of mangaka."

His eyes were chill and made everyone shudder.

Yuuki knew who would become the winner and didn't think much since there was still two weeks before the announcement.

Sasaki nodded in agreement, he thought the manga was good as long as it was interesting.

"Enough about the Gold Future Cup, there are still two weeks before the result is being announced," Yuuki said and added, "Let's talk about something else here."

They nodded and started to talk to him about the condition of this company.

Yuuki was glad that even though there weren't any manga from his past life, this company was still strong. He could see that this company was moving to better and it was quite fast, especially with the One Piece that he published.

"That's right, the 'Weekly Shounen Gongon' can shake our position to become the number one manga industry," Sasaki said.

"Boss, can you move your manga to our company?"

They knew that he had drawn manga in that company too.

"Oh, don't worry about them," Yuuki said.

"Why?" Sasaki asked.

"I own some of their shares," Yuuki said.

They were stunned and weren't sure how to react when they heard he also owned them.

Yuuki smiled, "This is also your job, don't lose against them." He wanted to incite their competitive soul within them.

They could only nod when they heard it.

The meeting wasn't that long since they were mostly about a report and the Gold Future Cup.

"Alright, I will go back now," Yuuki said.

Sasaki nodded, "I will send it to you."

Yuuki only nodded and walked to meet both Eriri and Utaha. He was wondering whether they were trying to make trouble or not. He walked to the office and saw there were Utaha, Eriri and Iida were looking at something.

"What are you looking at?" Yuuki asked.

"Yuuki, look at this," Utaha said.

Yuuki looked at the manga and was amazed with the skill of drawing but....

"It's good, right?" Utaha asked.

"It's good, but the story..." Yuuki said.

""It's true that the author should learn how to make a story or partner up with someone else," Utaha said.

"Iida, you should contact this mangaka," Yuuki said.

"Yeah, I plan to do that," Iida nodded.

Yuuki noticed that Eriri who saw this manga became grumpy. He placed his hand on her head and said, "Don't lose."

"I won't," Eriri said while showing her tiger teeth.

"Alright, let's go back," Yuuki said.

Eriri nodded, "I need to draw." She looked at him and said, "Let me stay in your manga studio."

"Sure," Yuuki said.

"Listen, poor milk, I know you're trying to tempt him, but it's impossible with your flat chest," Utaha said.

"KASUMIGAOKA UTAHA!!!" Eriri became angry.

Yuuki thought it would be a peaceful trip but it was far from his imagination. He picked them on both of his arms similar to handling a cat, "Alright, you can fight later." He turned toward Sasaki and Iida, "I will go back first."

"Goodbye," Iida had gotten used to this kind of scene in his home.

Sasaki adjusted his glasses and nodded. He felt that he wanted to become young again since he was still single. He needed to go to a bar and meet a beauty barista later.
