WEBVTT 00:09.363 --> 00:13.743 So they will listen to no one? Interesting. 00:14.033 --> 00:15.363 Zack, are you... 00:15.573 --> 00:18.203 Enter not into the cave, and the snake shall laugh. 00:18.203 --> 00:20.373 I, too, am quite stubborn. 00:21.123 --> 00:24.753 We just freed you from the phaseys, and you're not at full strength! 00:24.753 --> 00:26.383 You can't go in alone. 00:26.503 --> 00:29.253 There's an unverified rumor going around 00:29.253 --> 00:32.383 that there may be a whole horde of enemies waiting to ambush us. 00:32.383 --> 00:35.513 If the kappa picks at the water wheel, it remains docile. 00:36.683 --> 00:37.763 However... 00:41.723 --> 00:44.313 The Senate won't stay quiet about this. 00:45.693 --> 00:48.363 If those old geezers insist on shutting themselves away... 00:48.363 --> 00:51.113 I shall tell them myself! 02:23.533 --> 02:27.623 OUR FIRST OFFLINE MEETUP 02:25.293 --> 02:29.173 It's really difficult to come up with your own group name, isn't it? 02:33.793 --> 02:36.383 ARTIST HAIMI (KUKUMI URESHINO) 02:33.793 --> 02:36.713 Ms. Makuwa, you don't have to agonize over it so much. 02:36.713 --> 02:39.013 I'm actually struggling with the layout. 02:36.713 --> 02:39.013 CREATOR DENGEKI MELON (YURI MAKUWA) 02:39.473 --> 02:44.013 The two are working together to create a fan manga for Uron Mirage. 02:44.183 --> 02:45.763 I'm sorry, Ms. Makuwa. 02:45.763 --> 02:48.143 It's all because I can't create a proper manga layout 02:48.143 --> 02:51.403 That's okay, I've been wanting to challenge myself with paneling. 02:51.693 --> 02:54.943 Plus I think it'd be difficult to make a manga out of that short story. 02:54.943 --> 02:56.073 Paneling is when 02:56.073 --> 03:00.283 you place borders, simply drawn characters, and dialogue on a manga page. 03:00.283 --> 03:05.163 Dengeki Melon's role is to prepare the story all the way to paneling it out. 03:06.873 --> 03:09.163 But to think I would get stuck here... 03:09.583 --> 03:13.423 This situation is definitely, "If the kappa picks at the water wheel, it remains docile." 03:13.423 --> 03:15.003 Yeah, I totally get it. 03:15.003 --> 03:20.303 It reminds me of Zack's line in chapter 127 when he says, "I'll tell them myself!" 03:20.763 --> 03:24.933 But you've been posting short stories more frequently on Chitter these days. 03:23.343 --> 03:24.933 SS: SHORT STORY 03:25.143 --> 03:26.813 And you've gained new followers. 03:26.813 --> 03:29.773 I can write those easily because they're quick one-scene stories. 03:29.773 --> 03:32.693 But when it comes to writing a full-length story, I suddenly can't write anymore. 03:33.273 --> 03:36.193 It's not enough just to have feelings of wanting to tell something. 03:36.523 --> 03:38.153 I feel like there's a component 03:38.153 --> 03:42.493 that's akin to a secret ingredient that I need in order to pull the reader in. 03:43.953 --> 03:45.993 I feel so close to grasping it. 03:45.993 --> 03:48.833 But everything's just out of reach. Just like how U.M. is! 03:50.623 --> 03:53.963 I'm sorry, but can I get a little bit more time? 03:54.043 --> 03:56.043 I'd like to have time to think on my own. 03:56.043 --> 03:59.213 Of course, there's still lots of time until the event. 03:59.343 --> 04:02.593 In the meantime, I'll be working on improving my art. 04:03.553 --> 04:05.013 Here, take a look at this. 04:05.803 --> 04:07.303 Oh, it's Madara! 04:07.303 --> 04:11.183 That's pretty unusual for you to draw him when you're an Utsu x Obo fan. 04:11.183 --> 04:15.603 Yep. It was a request from a new friend I made on Chitter. 04:15.603 --> 04:16.943 I see. 04:17.573 --> 04:21.113 Wait, what? You made a new friend on Chitter? 04:21.113 --> 04:23.283 I did! They reply to my posts a lot. 04:23.283 --> 04:27.243 Their name is "Catch Me in the Limelight." We really get along well. 04:27.243 --> 04:32.123 Wow, I see, while I was struggling with the layout, huh? Wow, sounds like fun. 04:32.373 --> 04:36.213 I see. Wait, did you post that you were taking illustration requests? 04:36.213 --> 04:38.173 We've been DMing each other. 04:38.173 --> 04:42.383 I see, so you get along well enough to directly take requests, huh? 04:43.133 --> 04:46.553 We've hit it off so well that we'll be meeting in person very soon. 04:46.553 --> 04:47.553 Whoa, what? 04:47.553 --> 04:49.313 You're meeting up? In person? 04:49.313 --> 04:51.473 Yes, we're having an offline meetup. 04:51.473 --> 04:54.483 Are you going to be okay? Do you know about this person? 04:54.483 --> 04:56.353 She's a high school girl, just like me. 04:56.353 --> 04:59.113 If you're worried, would you like to see our DMs? 05:04.903 --> 05:07.203 This is definitely old guy speech! 05:07.453 --> 05:12.203 Okay, wait, wait! This is an old g... Um, are you sure this is a high school girl? 05:12.373 --> 05:14.583 Yes, she's a high school girl. 05:14.583 --> 05:16.713 Such confident, yet innocent eyes! 05:16.963 --> 05:22.003 She uses tons of emojis, gets excited easily, and talks about herself a lot. 05:22.003 --> 05:23.633 That's definitely an old guy! 05:23.633 --> 05:26.803 Even her username "Catch Me in the Limelight" is really cute. 05:26.803 --> 05:28.553 No, that reeks of old man as well. 05:28.553 --> 05:31.143 And she says she really wants to meet up with me. 05:31.143 --> 05:33.143 See, that's definitely a red flag! 05:33.143 --> 05:35.643 You can't! That's most likely a man in his 50s! 05:35.643 --> 05:38.773 You shouldn't be so quick to meet with people you find online! 05:38.773 --> 05:41.653 What? But it's so horrible to be suspicious without knowing anything. 05:41.653 --> 05:43.403 Limelight is a good person! 05:43.533 --> 05:45.783 You can't underestimate otakus like this. 05:45.783 --> 05:48.113 It's dangerous to bring your internet relationships into real life. 05:48.113 --> 05:50.743 We're also otakus and this is technically an offline meetup! 05:56.003 --> 05:57.503 That's true. 05:59.293 --> 06:01.003 But I'm a teacher. 06:01.593 --> 06:03.923 It's our duty to protect our students! 06:03.923 --> 06:05.213 That's what I'll tell myself, 06:05.213 --> 06:07.883 and now rummage through this Catch Me in the Limelight's account. 06:08.303 --> 06:13.393 Besides U.M., this person posts about golf and Go. 06:13.763 --> 06:17.143 This picture... Is that their reflection in the golf club? 06:17.523 --> 06:19.653 There it is! It's an old guy after all. 06:19.983 --> 06:23.073 Ugh, I can't believe she got tricked like this by an old guy. 06:25.483 --> 06:27.903 What should I do? Should I stop her from going? 06:28.613 --> 06:33.283 No. "Enter not into the cave, and the snake shall laugh." For this... 06:33.493 --> 06:36.043 "I shall tell them myself!" 06:37.003 --> 06:38.583 I know what the person looks like. 06:38.583 --> 06:40.543 I can also prove that I'm a teacher. 06:41.133 --> 06:43.093 Haimi looks nervous. 06:43.293 --> 06:45.303 Oh? Was that a, "I'm just about here" message? 06:45.593 --> 06:49.053 Where? Are they here? If it's that old guy, I'll tell him off. 06:49.053 --> 06:51.393 "Don't you dare touch my student!" 06:51.393 --> 06:54.643 There he is! I'll catch that Limelight! 06:54.643 --> 06:56.103 Excuse me! 06:56.723 --> 06:58.353 Nice to meet you! 07:01.103 --> 07:04.273 - I'm Haimi. - I'm Catch Me in the Limelight. 07:01.733 --> 07:04.273 What? This is Limelight? 07:05.023 --> 07:06.783 What an extremely beautiful girl. 07:07.193 --> 07:09.363 Okay, thanks Dad. 07:09.903 --> 07:11.073 Your dad? 07:11.073 --> 07:13.573 Yeah, he insisted on coming with me. 07:14.493 --> 07:15.533 I see. 07:15.743 --> 07:17.293 I'm so embarrassed! 07:17.663 --> 07:20.543 And this is such a cute scene where two beautiful girls get all moe. 07:20.753 --> 07:23.793 I was so excited to meet you today! 07:21.373 --> 07:24.923 I'm such a terrible person for suspecting her just because of the way she writes! 07:25.093 --> 07:29.633 Haimi, have you been well? I'm so happy to meet you. 07:29.633 --> 07:33.723 I want to be cured by the cute Haimi today. Haha, jk. 07:33.723 --> 07:35.683 Does she talk like an old guy, too? 07:36.183 --> 07:37.893 Do you think the way I talk is strange? 07:36.183 --> 07:40.103 Her face and voice are beautiful, but the way she talks hopelessly doesn't match. 07:37.893 --> 07:40.683 I'm an H.S. girl who likes golf and Go. 07:40.813 --> 07:43.983 So I became good friends with my dad's friends, 07:43.983 --> 07:46.693 and by talking to them through LINE my speech became like this. 07:46.693 --> 07:48.903 Is old guy speech contagious? 07:48.903 --> 07:51.453 Next time I wanna have a sleepover party with you. 07:51.453 --> 07:53.493 Maybe things will get steamy at the bathhouse! 07:53.493 --> 07:54.703 My brain's gonna bug out. 07:54.703 --> 07:57.033 This cute airhead just sounds so greasy and terrible. 07:58.043 --> 07:59.543 Wait, just now... 07:59.703 --> 08:01.083 A hint for my manga! 08:01.623 --> 08:04.043 There's a gap... Misunderstanding each other... 08:04.043 --> 08:05.543 Major big feels?! 08:05.963 --> 08:08.053 A scene is revealing itself to me! 08:11.883 --> 08:12.883 Ms. Makuwa? 08:14.473 --> 08:16.263 Y-You're Dengeki Melon? 08:16.513 --> 08:19.143 Teacher and student? Working together? 08:19.393 --> 08:21.023 Information overload. 08:21.023 --> 08:25.443 Ms. Makuwa, I'd already been talking to Limelight through a voice call app. 08:25.443 --> 08:27.443 I think I forgot to mention that part. 08:27.443 --> 08:30.613 I'm sorry to have made you worry. But I'm happy you came here. 08:30.613 --> 08:34.863 I-I was just doing what any normal teacher would, and... 08:36.123 --> 08:39.413 No, I was probably a little bit jealous. 08:39.663 --> 08:45.423 I was afraid that Ureshino... No, that Haimi would be taken from me. But... 08:46.003 --> 08:49.173 Seeing both of your happy faces filled me with joy, too. 08:49.633 --> 08:53.133 It's such a wonderful thing to have a friend who shares your hobby. 08:54.383 --> 08:56.343 But that's still pretty shocking. 08:56.343 --> 08:59.473 A teacher and a student? That's just like that manga "Fishing Nut's Diary." 08:59.473 --> 09:00.723 That's true. 09:00.723 --> 09:02.813 But that was an office worker and his CEO. 09:02.813 --> 09:07.063 Oh yeah, I had a great idea regarding your group name. 09:07.353 --> 09:09.903 How's this one? Ta-da! 09:10.613 --> 09:13.613 The "Fave Artist" part is kinda embarrassing, though. 09:13.613 --> 09:15.073 I do like the play on words. 09:15.073 --> 09:18.953 Then how about we write it in katakana and... How's this one? 09:20.493 --> 09:21.203 Yeah! 09:21.203 --> 09:23.953 FAVE FANART FILE 09:21.453 --> 09:23.583 I'll register for the event with this! 09:26.373 --> 09:28.673 "I'm glad I got another chance." 09:29.133 --> 09:31.803 "White hair... Oboro became a Whitenling?" 09:32.053 --> 09:35.723 "That's no surprise. His older brother is one, too." 09:36.473 --> 09:41.473 "After going through so much, it's like, finally, you know?" 09:46.483 --> 09:47.443 SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED. 09:47.443 --> 09:48.233 SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED. LET'S MEET AT OUR USUAL PLACE. 09:48.563 --> 09:50.273 I can't believe this. 09:48.853 --> 09:54.323 FAVE ARTIST FILE: CREATIVE SURGE 09:50.273 --> 09:52.233 I was suspicious of it, too. 09:52.233 --> 09:55.743 And we'd just finished paneling out our doujinshi, too. 09:55.953 --> 09:58.993 But now they officially reveal that Oboro has a big brother? 10:01.623 --> 10:02.493 Ms. Makuwa? 10:02.663 --> 10:05.373 - Please calm down. - How can I stay calm? 10:05.373 --> 10:10.753 I DON'T HAVE ANY SIBLINGS, SO... THAT'S A PROBLEM I SADLY WON'T HAVE. 10:05.793 --> 10:09.173 The premise for the story I wrote is that Oboro is an only child. 10:09.173 --> 10:10.753 If he has an older brother, then it's not consistent! 10:11.043 --> 10:14.423 But to discard our rough draft that we paneled out and everything... 10:14.423 --> 10:17.683 I think it'll be okay if we move forward with this rough draft. 10:17.683 --> 10:20.393 When creating fan art, there are people with many different opinions. 10:20.643 --> 10:25.183 There are people who say it's okay to stray from the official setting, and that's fine, too. 10:25.723 --> 10:28.523 But I can't. For me... 10:32.733 --> 10:35.113 the official setting is like a bible. 10:35.113 --> 10:36.743 Canon purists. 10:36.743 --> 10:40.033 This type of otaku loyally protects the original work's setting. 10:40.323 --> 10:42.073 Instead of tweaking the character, 10:42.073 --> 10:44.793 they prefer to stick to the original work as if they were enjoying an extension. 10:44.793 --> 10:47.793 I will not stray from the official works! We look for a crevice! 10:48.003 --> 10:52.133 We drown with imagination in those crevices that're not shown! We allow ourselves to do so! 10:52.133 --> 10:53.423 I understand, Ms. Makuwa! 10:53.753 --> 10:56.013 And so, after rereading it, I noticed something. 10:56.013 --> 10:57.553 In volume seven, that phrase... 10:57.763 --> 11:00.303 Even my parents don't expect much from me. 11:00.683 --> 11:03.603 Do you think this could be hinting that he has an older brother? 11:03.603 --> 11:06.353 Utakata was foreshadowing that! 11:06.353 --> 11:07.603 Oh my goodness! 11:07.603 --> 11:11.773 For my error of not realizing that until now, I shall take punishment. 11:11.773 --> 11:13.113 Besides that... 11:13.113 --> 11:16.153 If Oboro's older brother is a Whitenling, 11:16.153 --> 11:18.823 then that means he's a Feint, right? 11:18.943 --> 11:20.283 That's right. 11:20.283 --> 11:23.743 He hasn't even appeared yet, and he's already got these strong character vibes. 11:25.703 --> 11:26.703 Twitch... 11:26.913 --> 11:27.703 Twitch... 11:27.703 --> 11:28.503 Fwomph. 11:28.833 --> 11:31.173 Twitch, twitch, twitch... 11:31.173 --> 11:32.083 Bam! 11:34.593 --> 11:36.303 I think I can draw up some new rough drafts. 11:50.103 --> 11:50.853 ONE WEEK LATER 11:51.023 --> 11:52.443 This is really great! 11:52.853 --> 11:55.063 Wait, hold on now. Can you give me some time? 11:55.063 --> 11:59.243 My words! I can't seem to say any words! I'll DM you later! 11:58.783 --> 12:00.693 [I'LL DM YOU LATER] WHEN YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TO SAY AND WOULD PREFER TO TYPE IT OUT LATER WHEN YOU HAVE TIME 12:00.993 --> 12:03.163 When I think that your drawings will fill these pages, 12:03.163 --> 12:04.993 it's definitely like, "sake barrel entering the wrestling ring." 12:05.283 --> 12:07.543 The only problem now is the scheduling. 12:07.623 --> 12:10.913 The deadline for the printing is three weeks away. 12:10.913 --> 12:14.083 So that means I have to complete one and a half pages a day. 12:14.543 --> 12:18.093 I've drawn three pages in one day before, so I think we'll make it! 12:18.093 --> 12:20.213 An amateur's naive expectations! 12:22.133 --> 12:24.393 Things won't go that smoothly. 12:24.393 --> 12:27.723 That's strange. I haven't even finished half of what I scheduled. 12:27.933 --> 12:29.933 Drawings won't come that easily. 12:29.933 --> 12:33.193 Backgrounds are hard! Let's just make this part white, too. 12:33.193 --> 12:35.733 It's really not that simple, so please be careful! 12:35.863 --> 12:38.193 My predictions were way too optimistic! 12:38.193 --> 12:41.153 I'll never finish this! 12:41.153 --> 12:44.993 Whatever will you do? Fave Fanart File's first doujinshi! 12:44.993 --> 12:47.993 URON MIRAGE 12:47.993 --> 12:51.003 URON MIRAGE 12:51.043 --> 12:52.543 THE DAY OF THE DEADLINE 12:51.043 --> 12:52.963 And then, the day of the deadline! 12:52.963 --> 12:54.503 I finished! 12:54.963 --> 12:56.753 I thought I was going to die. 12:57.133 --> 12:59.093 My pen and heart were about to break. 12:59.963 --> 13:01.303 Good job on finishing that up! 13:01.303 --> 13:02.133 Peek. 13:02.383 --> 13:04.883 I have 30 minutes left until the deadline to send it to the printers. 13:05.133 --> 13:09.603 There are parts I wish I could fix, but I think this is plenty for a first attempt. 13:09.813 --> 13:10.643 Okay, Ms. Makuwa. 13:10.893 --> 13:14.313 Can you please check the pages that you haven't seen yet? 13:14.313 --> 13:15.903 Uploading it to the cloud now... 13:18.733 --> 13:19.403 Huh? 13:19.823 --> 13:21.903 I'm sorry, can you send it over again? 13:22.153 --> 13:25.493 It looks like it didn't save properly, so I can't open the file. 13:25.493 --> 13:26.663 Got it. 13:27.493 --> 13:30.413 Huh?
