However, this rumor attracted Hitomi Kuroishi's attention. Every time there was news about the appearance of the "Unknown Duelist" on the forum, she would rather skip class to fight with this person.

Hitomi Kuroishi skipped class to catch Uesawa Palace, but Uesawa Palace used eye deception the moment she came over, changed his appearance, and left her openly, choosing another game arcade.

For the sake of her friends, Mai naturally skipped class.

She followed Kuroishi Hitomi, and of course she saw that Uesawa Palace was the so-called "Unknown Duelist", but she pretended not to see Uesawa Palace, and let Uesawa Palace and Kuroishi Hitomi pass by each other several times.

And then let her return without success.

Kuroishi Hitomi was very unwilling. She determined that one thing would never change. Later, she even chose to stay in the dormitory and skip school like Uesawa Palace.

Hitomi Kuroishi's grades are very good and she has made special contributions to the school in computer science. All the teachers turned a blind eye to her truancy.

However, Mai was not so lucky. Her grades were not very good. On the second day after she skipped school, she was warned by her teacher that if she continued to skip school, she would use the "invite parents" trick.

Mai reluctantly stayed in school, while Uesawa Miya and Kuroishi Hitomi seemed to be playing a game called hide-and-seek, with one hiding and the other looking. At least in this game, Uesawa Miya was victorious.

At night, Shangze Palace was still fighting with Dorothy, Yuxia and their water friends.

In order to avoid being targeted by Kuroishi Hitomi due to his excessive reputation, Uesawa Palace did not have a perfect victory record and deliberately lost several times.

In the past few days, Uesawa Palace also took the time to complete the online selection competition and successfully qualified with a complete victory.

It is worth mentioning that Youxia also signed up to participate in this competition. Although it was difficult and she barely passed the line, she also qualified for the offline competition.

Youxia's competition was broadcast live in its entirety. What surprised Uezawa Palace was that when Youxia won, Dorothy actually gave a rare reward of 100 US dollars to Youxia's live broadcast room as a celebration.

Although it wasn't much, it changed Dorothy's iron-rooster image in Shangze Palace's heart a little bit.

Of course, Uesawa Palace was not "idle" in his sleep every night, and "dreamed" good dreams with the help of Asukai Muji.

...

On the afternoon of Friday, Uesawa Miya did not go to the game arcade. Instead, he rented a van from Ouna Kinoko and drove to a printing factory with her to pick up the book he had previously entrusted to the printing factory to print.

.

Ouna Kinoko likes to fish so much. Even though she has the ability of a [magician] and one person can work more efficiently than three or four people, she didn't start working until a week before the deadline.

Fortunately, she had the help of Asukai Muji, otherwise, she might have to stay up late to deliver the manuscript to the printing house on time.

Generally speaking, it is necessary to call the work to the printing house some time in advance and arrange the printing time for the printing house. However, Ouna Kinoko seems to have cooperated with this printing house many times, and the other party rushed it and printed her in just one day.

All books are printed.

Uesawa Miya didn't know how many copies she had printed at first, but when she came to the scene and looked at the exaggerated number, she suddenly clicked her tongue in surprise: "Miss Ouna, what's wrong with you... 1,000 copies?"

, is there too much printed? Can it really be sold out?"

Uesawa Miya is also a frequent visitor to comic exhibitions, and he has also talked with some artists.

At the Iket Comic Expo, if you want to sell more than 50 copies, unless the quality of your paintings is explosive, you need to promote it in advance and have a certain reputation.

Most of the people who come to the Comic Expo are there for well-known artists and societies. Unless the quality of unknown artists is very good and they are spread by word of mouth, 50 copies is the limit.

At a comic exhibition, people come only for 5 hours a day. In these 300 minutes, 50 copies can be sold, which is equivalent to selling one book every 6 minutes. For an unknown artist, this is

, is a very difficult thing.

The average fan author only prints about 100 copies, and they may not be able to sell them all, and they have to take dozens of copies back with them.

Most people who create doujinshi do it to satisfy themselves. In fact, not many people can make money, but even so, countless people still come here one after another.

"Believe me, I'm very famous!" Ouna Kinoko said confidently, "Besides, I booked the show for two days in a row, so five hundred books a day might not be enough."

It turned out that it took two days, and Shang Zegong's doubts were eliminated.

Generally speaking, the club only rents the booth for one day, but Ouna Kinoko boldly occupied the stall for two days. In addition to the price, it also shows that Ms. Ouna is quite famous.

Uesawa Palace suddenly became curious, what is Miss Ouna Kinoko's name as an artist?

Although Miss Ouna has never concealed it, Kamizawa Palace has never asked about it.

He picked up a book jointly drawn by Ouna-san and Asuka-san, and after opening it, he finally learned her artist's name - Nasu Mōgō.

"So you are Nasu-sensei, no wonder you have such a good position."

Nasumu, this artist is very famous in the industry. He has drawn many well-known characters and served as the scriptwriter of many original scripts. However, no one among the fans knows whether she is a boy or a girl. They only know her

The anthropomorphic figure is a mushroom.

Nasu's identity is still a mystery.

Shangze Palace finally understood.

It turns out that's the case. No wonder there are no rumors about her identity in the industry. It turns out that she is a [magician] herself.

"Kamizawa-kun, when you arrive at the venue tomorrow, you have to remember that we are not the painters themselves, we are just members of the same club as the painters. Mr. Nasumu himself did not come, and he entrusted us to be responsible for the sales."

Naminoko instructed.

"I understand." Shang Zegong smiled bitterly and nodded.

Many Nasu fans have been complaining that although Nasu-sensei is very famous, she has never signed a book on site.

It turns out that Mr. Nasurou didn't come, but was actually at the scene, but he just didn't reveal his identity.

In this way, the time arrived on Saturday, which is the time when the Iket Comic Exhibition was held.

Generally, the CM Comic Exhibition is held twice a year, from the second Friday to Sunday in August each year, and on 2-4 days from December 28th to 31st, and is located in Koto, Tokyo.

Held at Tokyo Big Sight in Ariake Ward.

It is usually held in August, but this time it was moved up more than a month due to some force majeure, and the time was compressed to two days.
