Chapter 69: golden age

Tohsaka Tokiomi suddenly remembered that he forgot to ask where Kurokawa and Ya lived.

"Can I just investigate..."

However, this matter cannot be left to the magician... Otherwise, they are likely to get other original manuscripts of Fate/Zero from Kurokawa and Ya... This is very bad for themselves.

I can't leave Fuyuki City without authorization. It's okay to confirm the location of Kurokawa Kazuya. If I don't confirm it, I don't have so much time to investigate.

That's the only way...Let Kirei go, and trust him. Looking at the performance in that comic, he is... a disciple worthy of my trust.

In the end...he still forgot what he said before, "Kotomine Kirei cannot let Kotomine Kirei see this manga...

…

"Oh oh oh oh! This is amazing!" Ishizaki Rito's eyes lit up. This work with a strange style of painting, in his opinion, has a strong sense of epic.

but...

After a while he got confused.

For the first place this time, should I vote for JOJO or Fate?

…

"Not enough? If it's not enough, reprint it!" JUMC's editor-in-chief Shigeo Nishimura said into the phone, a little out of the ordinary.

Of course, I'm still very excited.

The approximate division of JUMC's editorial level is editor-leader-deputy editor-in-chief-editor-in-chief.

As the editor-in-chief, Shigeo Nishimura has already stood at the top of JUMC, but... he estimates that he will retire soon. But—JUMC has come to glory in this process.

In these few issues, the comic plots on JUMC have ushered in a big climax. One after the other, today is the first, and tomorrow it may become fifth or sixth, but in fact the difference in votes is not much.

The reason is that now, every comic is ushering in a big climax/tide, which brings JUMC to a peak.

Dragon Ball has risen rapidly from the tepid beginning, and the plot has advanced to the world's No. 1 Budokai.

Fist of the North Star came to Kenjiro and Rao's greatest battle of the North Star.

Captain Tsubasa is Nange Primary School vs. Dongbang Primary School.

JOJO progressed to Joseph confronting the man in the pillar.

There is also a new serialization... Although the serial bulletin has not yet come out, you can still feel the fiery atmosphere of "Fate/Zero"!

The current sales volume of JUMC has exceeded 4 million, but it is still not enough! Still need to print!

The most glorious era of JUMC appeared in his hands.

"Editor Nishimura, the quick report is out."

"Hmm... how about the flash report?" Shigeo Nishimura asked hastily.

"That... the flash report, the newly serialized manga "Fate/Zero" ranked first with an absolute advantage of 63 votes, the second place was "Fist of the North Dipper" with 28 votes, and the third place was "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" 27 votes, the fourth place is "Dragon Ball" with 25 votes..."

"Huh? Bring it here, I'll take a look!" Shigeo Nishimura was slightly taken aback.

There are three positions on JUMC's reader survey form. The so-called quick report is to select the first 100 readers sent to the survey form for survey.

The official one is called "Xiaozheng", which is judged by selecting a thousand from all the reader questionnaires.

"63 votes? No way..." Shigeo Nishimura also watched "Fate/Zero". He also likes this comic very much. He finds it unexpectedly powerful. Although the style of painting is different from the current one, it looks very comfortable. The fighting scenes also look very real. It feels like the author has real materials in this regard. .

But what I didn't expect was, is this comic so popular?

Thinking of this, he looked at the comments on the reader questionnaire.

[It's amazing, what is this? 】

[As expected of Mr. Kurokawa, the new manga is as interesting as ever. 】

【Those bugs are disgusting...】

[Who is the last female knight? so beautiful. 】

[The female character named "Irisviel" looks so beautiful, how did you draw it? 】

Those who chose "Fate/Zero" were almost all well-received, others were not selected, and some also wrote in the reader's testimonials [Fate's manga is so disgusting, it made a little girl suffer such a thing, what is the manga artist's opinion? What are you thinking? ] and the like.

It can be said.

In this manga, the short first chapter has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

And Shigeo Nishimura knew very well that the manga would be more exciting later on.

It seems... the first approach was correct. Originally, the first chapter was divided into the first chapter (top), (middle) and (bottom), but in the end they followed Iwamoto Yu's suggestion and put the three in Together, form a complete first chapter and put it in the serialization.

Looking at it now, sure enough, the effect is surprisingly good!

But—there's a problem.

Fate/Zero has only thirty-two chapters. In other words, it will be over in less than a year. What to do when it's over?

It's okay if... it doesn't have such a big effect, but if it can...

"That's right... the world view of Fate/Zero seems to be very big... see if we can let him continue to draw?" After thinking about it, Nishimura Shigeo decided to use JUMC's good method "don't let it end."

However, it all depends on the situation behind—

Then...

Sure enough, after Xiaozheng's situation came out, "Fate/Zero" was the same as the previous flash report, and it was the number one as always.

Then, the sales volume of JUMC in this issue exceeded 4.5 million.

The new issue of JUMC continues to be released - "Fate" is even more popular, with sales reaching 4.7 million.

And...Tohsaka Tokiomi, who was going to come here to hypnotize JUMC's top management, didn't come here for some reason.

…

at the same time-

Duke Town.

Kurokawa and Mi kept switching the TV channels.

"There's no news from Fuyuki City today... Besides, Tokiomi Tohsaka didn't come over..."

Two weeks have passed, two weeks have passed since "Fate/Zero" was serialized on JUMC, and the second chapter of Fate, Xiaozheng, has already come out.

The number of votes has dropped, but it is still the first.

The full set of Fate/Zero that I sent Tohsaka Tokiomi should have arrived long ago, even if he was calculating how to get it right, it should be over by now.

But why, there is no trace at all?

Tohsaka Tokiomi didn't come...and neither did the Magic Association.

If it is suppressed if nothing about it is shown on TV, what is going on?

Isn't there really no mystery in this world?

Kurokawa and Mi felt a little stuffy in their chests. Recently, even the creation of manga has lost their enthusiasm. The reason is because of this half-up feeling... He yearns for mystery, yearns for the unknown, and yearns for interesting things.

but...

All the preparations on my side have been completed, why no one came to the door at all! ?

Even if you are investigating your own location, you should have already completed the investigation, right? After all, he didn't move there, not at all...

But why no one came? Is this world really... so hopeless? Is it still the boring world with no mystery at all?
