Chapter 211: Dessert Shop
The role competition for "Fate/Staynight" is over, but Zhongxia has been delaying the release of the sequel to "Sherlock", which makes Meng Shu stay at home and paint all day, feeling like he has nowhere to start.
"Are they not out?"
Sometimes he even came up with the idea of simply releasing "One Piece" first, but in the end he held back.
Anthony and his pact is to compare sales, and this sales volume must not be compared with "Weekly Boy" and "Midsummer Daily", the gap between the sales of these two magazines is very large, and the gap has recently doubled.
The Zhongxia Daily is updated every weekday, and the Zhongxia bookstores are located in all corners of China, attracting a large and steady readership. And "Weekly Boy" is updated once a week, and the channel is backward, if Meng Huo is regarded as a reader, he would rather buy "Mid-Summer Daily".
Of course, this is not to say that "Weekly Shonen" has failed, in fact, since the last revision, the sales of both magazines of Phoenix have been growing steadily, the only difference is that it has not increased as much as "Midsummer Daily".
Meng Huo wanted to make "Weekly Boy" a daily magazine, but it was impossible. The number of cartoonists in Phoenix Company is much smaller than that of Zhongxia Comics, and it is not easy to maintain a "Weekly Shonen", and it is impossible to want a daily magazine......
Therefore, this time Anthony proposed the agreement, Meng Shu does not intend to use "Weekly Boy" to compare. It is enough to have Detective Conan in the journal, and One Piece needs to be sold separately. It's a pity that he hasn't figured out how to sell it yet......
And Zhongxia Comics has not launched a new work for a long time, I don't know if there was any accident, Meng Shu can only be patient.
He paints at home. When it starts to get boring. A phone call came.
"What a pity for the teacher. Your readers have opened a dessert shop on Corniche called "What a Pity House", should we ban their nonsense? ”
This is He Qian's phone number, and she sued Meng Shu that someone had used the name of He Xi's house. And those were Meng Huo's readers, the members of the Big Sisters Alliance, who had set up shop on a bustling commercial street near the ocean in Ninghai......
"Your last prize was hung up in the store by them, and now it's very ostentatious!"
He Qian was a little indignant, in fact, it was a pity that no one had registered a trademark for the name Home. So it's no problem to be used. But on the other hand, He Xi is Meng Shu's pen name, and He Xi has obvious infringement in the name of Home, and he can also ban business.
"Dessert shop?"
Meng Shu didn't complain about the news, but was a little surprised, and a fandom dessert shop appeared--a waiter in a maid's skirt suddenly appeared in his mind. Shaking his head, Meng Shu felt that he had thought too much, there are very few maids in the comics now, and the maid shop has not risen, it should be just an ordinary dessert shop.
But a dessert shop with his own pen name. Meng Shu still felt very curious, and he asked He Qian not to look for trouble. Then the next morning, Meng put on his hat and went out.
Once he went out, he took a bus, his hat blocked the view of others, and no one seemed to recognize him. Listening to the chatting and discussion of the passengers around him, Meng Shu missed it very much, and he liked the feeling of staying in the crowd in obscurity.
After several stops, and in the last car, he saw some young girls talking about their work, and even some talking about "Detective Conan".
"Conan seems to be returning to the main story a bit lately, do you see?"
"I know, there was a black-clad organization last week, which was unexpected. Although the ordinary cases are also interesting, it is really exciting to see the dark curtain come out! ”
"It's a little pitiful that Akemi died, I didn't expect the black-clothed organization to be so cruel!"
From their conversation, Meng Yu knew that the foreshadowing of "Detective Conan" was good, and no one saw through the foreshadowing. He was satisfied, and when he got to the Corniche, the young girls who were chatting in the car also walked down, and they were going to go to the house of what a pity?
Meng Shu followed behind them, and sure enough, he soon saw a dessert shop with a sign of "What a Sorry House".
"What a pity!"
"It's so lively, are all the members of the alliance inside?"
This is a newly opened dessert shop, with a few pots of flowers on the outside, and the space inside seems to be very large, and it is full of noisy girls, which seems to be very lively.
The young girls walked in, but Meng Shu's feet stopped, there was no doubt that this shop must be the handiwork of the Big Sister Alliance. And it looks like it's become the base of that fan group?
The dessert shop was full of girls, and Meng Xu, who was a boy, frowned slightly, and had a little urge to retreat.
"Tsk......"
He heard the sound of tsk, and turned his head to see that several young men appeared around him at some point, each looking at the house and refusing to enter.
"Captain, let's go...... Too many women. ”
"Yes, I don't want to go in, if someone takes a photo, I'll be laughed to death in the company in the future!"
The two men persuaded a young man with glasses in the lead, but the young man with glasses noticed Meng Shu, and he suddenly asked, "You are also a member of the Knights?" ”
Meng Shu was stunned, Knights? Before he could answer, the young man with glasses seemed to affirm: "Forget it, I know this kind of idiotic question without asking." The boys who will come to this shop, who else are the Knights! ”
"But it's really a trial...... the young man looked up at the dessert shop, plucked up his courage and said, "I heard that the teacher painted a portrait of Saber and hung it inside, as a member of the Knights, how can he retreat!" ”
"Wait...... he turned to leave, and then brought back a few masks in less than two minutes: "Come on, put this on!" ”
Meng Shu was also stuffed with a mask, he was a little dizzy, watching a few young people around him quickly put on masks, and then looked at the dessert shop murderously, muttering in his heart: "They want to go in?" As for it?"
But he still wore it, so that he would not be afraid of the girls recognizing him when he went in. Although he has already had contacts with readers in the Far East, this kind of shop that is full of female readers, Meng Shu thought that it might be exposed inside, and he was still a little worried.
After the young men put it on, they slapped their hands: "For our queen, go on!" ”
Meng Shu followed them over.
"Welcome!" However, the strange thing is that after entering the door, a waitress greeted me and smiled: "Do you have any reservations?" ”
There was not the slightest surprise on her face, as if it was not the first time she had greeted a male guest.
"No ......"
The young man replied stiffly, it was fine when he looked at it from the outside of the store. As soon as I entered the store, the air changed, it was full of girls and desserts, and the sound of girls laughing in my ears made several people nervous.
Meng Shu was better, but after coming in, his nervousness dissipated a lot, and he secretly looked around the environment in the store. This sweet shop has a nice environment, but it is no different from other sweet shops in that there are many comics and books in many places.
"What, it's just a name......"
Shaking his head, Meng Shu was a little disappointed, he didn't see any bright spots in the store, it turned out that he just used his pen name as a howl.
But when the waitress took the young man and him to sit down, something was wrong with Meng Xuxian, and he saw a lot of photos of him under the glass of the table, even the menu......
"Well, what a pity is this, teacher......"
A young man pulled the stacked menu open, and the background of the whole menu was like a poster, printed with the picture of Meng Shu playing the piano in the night, which was very beautiful, mostly a clip taken from the video of Sky City.
"It's a pity that the teacher is really handsome!"
"Look, there's a photo service on this menu, should we buy a few?"
"Boys, forget it, buy it back and hit yourself, but it's no wonder that so many girls come here, it turns out that there is this kind of special service."
"Huh? Brother, what's wrong with you......"
The young people were chatting, but now Meng Shu was lying on the table, banging his head against the glass. If there was a crack in the ground, Meng Shu would probably have already gotten into it, which was the strongest shame he had ever encountered.
"Let Alice come over and negotiate immediately, you can't let this store open!"
Meng Huo gritted his teeth and took out his mobile phone, crackling. However, before he could click send, his hand was grabbed by the young man: "Okay, don't play with your phone, let's go see Saber's portrait first!" ”
The young people dragged Meng Huo and ran to see the portrait.
What is so beautiful about that portrait, Meng Shu has no interest in Saber at all, when he looked at some female customers in the store pointing to the photos under the table and laughing, he finally couldn't help but pull his hand out: "I'm sorry, you go and see, I want to go to the toilet." ”
He left a few youths, found the boys' toilet, opened a small room, then took off his mask, took out his mobile phone and called Alice.
"Hey, Alice? Are you available right now? Well...... Do me a favor......"
Meng Shu told the ins and outs, which made Alice laugh: "You can't stand the fact that there are a lot of photos of you there?" Cluck...... Okay, I'll take care of the work at hand first, and I'll talk to them in an hour. ”
Alice agreed, hung up the phone, Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't care about the preservation of the house, and he didn't intend to hurt the female readers here. But the fact that the photo is spreading all over the world must be banned no matter what.
"An hour......
Muttering about this time, Meng Shu turned around and wanted to go out, but he suddenly heard a crisp voice coming from above.
"Ah, I found it!"
Hearing this voice, Meng Shu couldn't help but look up, only to see a girl lying on top of the toilet, looking at him with sparkling eyes: "Sure enough, it's the voice of the teacher, I finally found you!" ”
Seeing the girl's appearance clearly, Meng Shu felt a little headache. Isn't this the little girl who jumped into the river, how could she be here...... (To be continued......)
