WEBVTT 00:09.380 --> 00:13.760 So they will listen to no one? Interesting. 00:14.050 --> 00:15.380 Zack, are you... 00:15.590 --> 00:18.220 Enter not into the cave, and the snake shall laugh. 00:18.220 --> 00:20.390 I, too, am quite stubborn. 00:21.140 --> 00:24.770 We just freed you from the phaseys, and you're not at full strength! 00:24.770 --> 00:26.400 You can't go in alone. 00:26.520 --> 00:29.270 There's an unverified rumor going around 00:29.270 --> 00:32.400 that there may be a whole horde of enemies waiting to ambush us. 00:32.400 --> 00:35.530 If the kappa picks at the water wheel, it remains docile. 00:36.700 --> 00:37.780 However... 00:41.740 --> 00:44.330 The Senate won't stay quiet about this. 00:45.710 --> 00:48.380 If those old geezers insist on shutting themselves away... 00:48.380 --> 00:51.130 I shall tell them myself! 02:23.550 --> 02:27.640 OUR FIRST OFFLINE MEETUP 02:25.310 --> 02:29.190 It's really difficult to come up with your own group name, isn't it? 02:33.810 --> 02:36.400 ARTIST HAIMI (KUKUMI URESHINO) 02:33.810 --> 02:36.730 Ms. Makuwa, you don't have to agonize over it so much. 02:36.730 --> 02:39.030 I'm actually struggling with the layout. 02:36.730 --> 02:39.030 CREATOR DENGEKI MELON (YURI MAKUWA) 02:39.490 --> 02:44.030 The two are working together to create a fan manga for Uron Mirage. 02:44.200 --> 02:45.780 I'm sorry, Ms. Makuwa. 02:45.780 --> 02:48.160 It's all because I can't create a proper manga layout 02:48.160 --> 02:51.420 That's okay, I've been wanting to challenge myself with paneling. 02:51.710 --> 02:54.960 Plus I think it'd be difficult to make a manga out of that short story. 02:54.960 --> 02:56.090 Paneling is when 02:56.090 --> 03:00.300 you place borders, simply drawn characters, and dialogue on a manga page. 03:00.300 --> 03:05.180 Dengeki Melon's role is to prepare the story all the way to paneling it out. 03:06.890 --> 03:09.180 But to think I would get stuck here... 03:09.600 --> 03:13.440 This situation is definitely, "If the kappa picks at the water wheel, it remains docile." 03:13.440 --> 03:15.020 Yeah, I totally get it. 03:15.020 --> 03:20.320 It reminds me of Zack's line in chapter 127 when he says, "I'll tell them myself!" 03:20.780 --> 03:24.950 But you've been posting short stories more frequently on Chitter these days. 03:23.360 --> 03:24.950 SS: SHORT STORY 03:25.160 --> 03:26.830 And you've gained new followers. 03:26.830 --> 03:29.790 I can write those easily because they're quick one-scene stories. 03:29.790 --> 03:32.710 But when it comes to writing a full-length story, I suddenly can't write anymore. 03:33.290 --> 03:36.210 It's not enough just to have feelings of wanting to tell something. 03:36.540 --> 03:38.170 I feel like there's a component 03:38.170 --> 03:42.510 that's akin to a secret ingredient that I need in order to pull the reader in. 03:43.970 --> 03:46.010 I feel so close to grasping it. 03:46.010 --> 03:48.850 But everything's just out of reach. Just like how U.M. is! 03:50.640 --> 03:53.980 I'm sorry, but can I get a little bit more time? 03:54.060 --> 03:56.060 I'd like to have time to think on my own. 03:56.060 --> 03:59.230 Of course, there's still lots of time until the event. 03:59.360 --> 04:02.610 In the meantime, I'll be working on improving my art. 04:03.570 --> 04:05.030 Here, take a look at this. 04:05.820 --> 04:07.320 Oh, it's Madara! 04:07.320 --> 04:11.200 That's pretty unusual for you to draw him when you're an Utsu x Obo fan. 04:11.200 --> 04:15.620 Yep. It was a request from a new friend I made on Chitter. 04:15.620 --> 04:16.960 I see. 04:17.590 --> 04:21.130 Wait, what? You made a new friend on Chitter? 04:21.130 --> 04:23.300 I did! They reply to my posts a lot. 04:23.300 --> 04:27.260 Their name is "Catch Me in the Limelight." We really get along well. 04:27.260 --> 04:32.140 Wow, I see, while I was struggling with the layout, huh? Wow, sounds like fun. 04:32.390 --> 04:36.230 I see. Wait, did you post that you were taking illustration requests? 04:36.230 --> 04:38.190 We've been DMing each other. 04:38.190 --> 04:42.400 I see, so you get along well enough to directly take requests, huh? 04:43.150 --> 04:46.570 We've hit it off so well that we'll be meeting in person very soon. 04:46.570 --> 04:47.570 Whoa, what? 04:47.570 --> 04:49.330 You're meeting up? In person? 04:49.330 --> 04:51.490 Yes, we're having an offline meetup. 04:51.490 --> 04:54.500 Are you going to be okay? Do you know about this person? 04:54.500 --> 04:56.370 She's a high school girl, just like me. 04:56.370 --> 04:59.130 If you're worried, would you like to see our DMs? 05:04.920 --> 05:07.220 This is definitely old guy speech! 05:07.470 --> 05:12.220 Okay, wait, wait! This is an old g... Um, are you sure this is a high school girl? 05:12.390 --> 05:14.600 Yes, she's a high school girl. 05:14.600 --> 05:16.730 Such confident, yet innocent eyes! 05:16.980 --> 05:22.020 She uses tons of emojis, gets excited easily, and talks about herself a lot. 05:22.020 --> 05:23.650 That's definitely an old guy! 05:23.650 --> 05:26.820 Even her username "Catch Me in the Limelight" is really cute. 05:26.820 --> 05:28.570 No, that reeks of old man as well. 05:28.570 --> 05:31.160 And she says she really wants to meet up with me. 05:31.160 --> 05:33.160 See, that's definitely a red flag! 05:33.160 --> 05:35.660 You can't! That's most likely a man in his 50s! 05:35.660 --> 05:38.790 You shouldn't be so quick to meet with people you find online! 05:38.790 --> 05:41.670 What? But it's so horrible to be suspicious without knowing anything. 05:41.670 --> 05:43.420 Limelight is a good person! 05:43.550 --> 05:45.800 You can't underestimate otakus like this. 05:45.800 --> 05:48.130 It's dangerous to bring your internet relationships into real life. 05:48.130 --> 05:50.760 We're also otakus and this is technically an offline meetup! 05:56.020 --> 05:57.520 That's true. 05:59.310 --> 06:01.020 But I'm a teacher. 06:01.610 --> 06:03.940 It's our duty to protect our students! 06:03.940 --> 06:05.230 That's what I'll tell myself, 06:05.230 --> 06:07.900 and now rummage through this Catch Me in the Limelight's account. 06:08.320 --> 06:13.410 Besides U.M., this person posts about golf and Go. 06:13.780 --> 06:17.160 This picture... Is that their reflection in the golf club? 06:17.540 --> 06:19.670 There it is! It's an old guy after all. 06:20.000 --> 06:23.090 Ugh, I can't believe she got tricked like this by an old guy. 06:25.500 --> 06:27.920 What should I do? Should I stop her from going? 06:28.630 --> 06:33.300 No. "Enter not into the cave, and the snake shall laugh." For this... 06:33.510 --> 06:36.060 "I shall tell them myself!" 06:37.020 --> 06:38.600 I know what the person looks like. 06:38.600 --> 06:40.560 I can also prove that I'm a teacher. 06:41.150 --> 06:43.110 Haimi looks nervous. 06:43.310 --> 06:45.320 Oh? Was that a, "I'm just about here" message? 06:45.610 --> 06:49.070 Where? Are they here? If it's that old guy, I'll tell him off. 06:49.070 --> 06:51.410 "Don't you dare touch my student!" 06:51.410 --> 06:54.660 There he is! I'll catch that Limelight! 06:54.660 --> 06:56.120 Excuse me! 06:56.740 --> 06:58.370 Nice to meet you! 07:01.120 --> 07:04.290 - I'm Haimi. - I'm Catch Me in the Limelight. 07:01.750 --> 07:04.290 What? This is Limelight? 07:05.040 --> 07:06.800 What an extremely beautiful girl. 07:07.210 --> 07:09.380 Okay, thanks Dad. 07:09.920 --> 07:11.090 Your dad? 07:11.090 --> 07:13.590 Yeah, he insisted on coming with me. 07:14.510 --> 07:15.550 I see. 07:15.760 --> 07:17.310 I'm so embarrassed! 07:17.680 --> 07:20.560 And this is such a cute scene where two beautiful girls get all moe. 07:20.770 --> 07:23.810 I was so excited to meet you today! 07:21.390 --> 07:24.940 I'm such a terrible person for suspecting her just because of the way she writes! 07:25.110 --> 07:29.650 Haimi, have you been well? I'm so happy to meet you. 07:29.650 --> 07:33.740 I want to be cured by the cute Haimi today. Haha, jk. 07:33.740 --> 07:35.700 Does she talk like an old guy, too? 07:36.200 --> 07:37.910 Do you think the way I talk is strange? 07:36.200 --> 07:40.120 Her face and voice are beautiful, but the way she talks hopelessly doesn't match. 07:37.910 --> 07:40.700 I'm an H.S. girl who likes golf and Go. 07:40.830 --> 07:44.000 So I became good friends with my dad's friends, 07:44.000 --> 07:46.710 and by talking to them through LINE my speech became like this. 07:46.710 --> 07:48.920 Is old guy speech contagious? 07:48.920 --> 07:51.470 Next time I wanna have a sleepover party with you. 07:51.470 --> 07:53.510 Maybe things will get steamy at the bathhouse! 07:53.510 --> 07:54.720 My brain's gonna bug out. 07:54.720 --> 07:57.050 This cute airhead just sounds so greasy and terrible. 07:58.060 --> 07:59.560 Wait, just now... 07:59.720 --> 08:01.100 A hint for my manga! 08:01.640 --> 08:04.060 There's a gap... Misunderstanding each other... 08:04.060 --> 08:05.560 Major big feels?! 08:05.980 --> 08:08.070 A scene is revealing itself to me! 08:11.900 --> 08:12.900 Ms. Makuwa? 08:14.490 --> 08:16.280 Y-You're Dengeki Melon? 08:16.530 --> 08:19.160 Teacher and student? Working together? 08:19.410 --> 08:21.040 Information overload. 08:21.040 --> 08:25.460 Ms. Makuwa, I'd already been talking to Limelight through a voice call app. 08:25.460 --> 08:27.460 I think I forgot to mention that part. 08:27.460 --> 08:30.630 I'm sorry to have made you worry. But I'm happy you came here. 08:30.630 --> 08:34.880 I-I was just doing what any normal teacher would, and... 08:36.140 --> 08:39.430 No, I was probably a little bit jealous. 08:39.680 --> 08:45.440 I was afraid that Ureshino... No, that Haimi would be taken from me. But... 08:46.020 --> 08:49.190 Seeing both of your happy faces filled me with joy, too. 08:49.650 --> 08:53.150 It's such a wonderful thing to have a friend who shares your hobby. 08:54.400 --> 08:56.360 But that's still pretty shocking. 08:56.360 --> 08:59.490 A teacher and a student? That's just like that manga "Fishing Nut's Diary." 08:59.490 --> 09:00.740 That's true. 09:00.740 --> 09:02.830 But that was an office worker and his CEO. 09:02.830 --> 09:07.080 Oh yeah, I had a great idea regarding your group name. 09:07.370 --> 09:09.920 How's this one? Ta-da! 09:10.630 --> 09:13.630 The "Fave Artist" part is kinda embarrassing, though. 09:13.630 --> 09:15.090 I do like the play on words. 09:15.090 --> 09:18.970 Then how about we write it in katakana and... How's this one? 09:20.510 --> 09:21.220 Yeah! 09:21.220 --> 09:23.970 FAVE FANART FILE 09:21.470 --> 09:23.600 I'll register for the event with this! 09:26.390 --> 09:28.690 "I'm glad I got another chance." 09:29.150 --> 09:31.820 "White hair... Oboro became a Whitenling?" 09:32.070 --> 09:35.740 "That's no surprise. His older brother is one, too." 09:36.490 --> 09:41.490 "After going through so much, it's like, finally, you know?" 09:46.500 --> 09:47.460 SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED. 09:47.460 --> 09:48.250 SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED. LET'S MEET AT OUR USUAL PLACE. 09:48.580 --> 09:50.290 I can't believe this. 09:48.870 --> 09:54.340 FAVE ARTIST FILE: CREATIVE SURGE 09:50.290 --> 09:52.250 I was suspicious of it, too. 09:52.250 --> 09:55.760 And we'd just finished paneling out our doujinshi, too. 09:55.970 --> 09:59.010 But now they officially reveal that Oboro has a big brother? 10:01.640 --> 10:02.510 Ms. Makuwa? 10:02.680 --> 10:05.390 - Please calm down. - How can I stay calm? 10:05.390 --> 10:10.770 I DON'T HAVE ANY SIBLINGS, SO... THAT'S A PROBLEM I SADLY WON'T HAVE. 10:05.810 --> 10:09.190 The premise for the story I wrote is that Oboro is an only child. 10:09.190 --> 10:10.770 If he has an older brother, then it's not consistent! 10:11.060 --> 10:14.440 But to discard our rough draft that we paneled out and everything... 10:14.440 --> 10:17.700 I think it'll be okay if we move forward with this rough draft. 10:17.700 --> 10:20.410 When creating fan art, there are people with many different opinions. 10:20.660 --> 10:25.200 There are people who say it's okay to stray from the official setting, and that's fine, too. 10:25.740 --> 10:28.540 But I can't. For me... 10:32.750 --> 10:35.130 the official setting is like a bible. 10:35.130 --> 10:36.760 Canon purists. 10:36.760 --> 10:40.050 This type of otaku loyally protects the original work's setting. 10:40.340 --> 10:42.090 Instead of tweaking the character, 10:42.090 --> 10:44.810 they prefer to stick to the original work as if they were enjoying an extension. 10:44.810 --> 10:47.810 I will not stray from the official works! We look for a crevice! 10:48.020 --> 10:52.150 We drown with imagination in those crevices that're not shown! We allow ourselves to do so! 10:52.150 --> 10:53.440 I understand, Ms. Makuwa! 10:53.770 --> 10:56.030 And so, after rereading it, I noticed something. 10:56.030 --> 10:57.570 In volume seven, that phrase... 10:57.780 --> 11:00.320 Even my parents don't expect much from me. 11:00.700 --> 11:03.620 Do you think this could be hinting that he has an older brother? 11:03.620 --> 11:06.370 Utakata was foreshadowing that! 11:06.370 --> 11:07.620 Oh my goodness! 11:07.620 --> 11:11.790 For my error of not realizing that until now, I shall take punishment. 11:11.790 --> 11:13.130 Besides that... 11:13.130 --> 11:16.170 If Oboro's older brother is a Whitenling, 11:16.170 --> 11:18.840 then that means he's a Feint, right? 11:18.960 --> 11:20.300 That's right. 11:20.300 --> 11:23.760 He hasn't even appeared yet, and he's already got these strong character vibes. 11:25.720 --> 11:26.720 Twitch... 11:26.930 --> 11:27.720 Twitch... 11:27.720 --> 11:28.520 Fwomph. 11:28.850 --> 11:31.190 Twitch, twitch, twitch... 11:31.190 --> 11:32.100 Bam! 11:34.610 --> 11:36.320 I think I can draw up some new rough drafts. 11:50.120 --> 11:50.870 ONE WEEK LATER 11:51.040 --> 11:52.460 This is really great! 11:52.870 --> 11:55.080 Wait, hold on now. Can you give me some time? 11:55.080 --> 11:59.260 My words! I can't seem to say any words! I'll DM you later! 11:58.800 --> 12:00.710 [I'LL DM YOU LATER] WHEN YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TO SAY AND WOULD PREFER TO TYPE IT OUT LATER WHEN YOU HAVE TIME 12:01.010 --> 12:03.180 When I think that your drawings will fill these pages, 12:03.180 --> 12:05.010 it's definitely like, "sake barrel entering the wrestling ring." 12:05.300 --> 12:07.560 The only problem now is the scheduling. 12:07.640 --> 12:10.930 The deadline for the printing is three weeks away. 12:10.930 --> 12:14.100 So that means I have to complete one and a half pages a day. 12:14.560 --> 12:18.110 I've drawn three pages in one day before, so I think we'll make it! 12:18.110 --> 12:20.230 An amateur's naive expectations! 12:22.150 --> 12:24.410 Things won't go that smoothly. 12:24.410 --> 12:27.740 That's strange. I haven't even finished half of what I scheduled. 12:27.950 --> 12:29.950 Drawings won't come that easily. 12:29.950 --> 12:33.210 Backgrounds are hard! Let's just make this part white, too. 12:33.210 --> 12:35.750 It's really not that simple, so please be careful! 12:35.880 --> 12:38.210 My predictions were way too optimistic! 12:38.210 --> 12:41.170 I'll never finish this! 12:41.170 --> 12:45.010 Whatever will you do? Fave Fanart File's first doujinshi! 12:45.010 --> 12:48.010 URON MIRAGE 12:48.010 --> 12:51.020 URON MIRAGE 12:51.060 --> 12:52.560 THE DAY OF THE DEADLINE 12:51.060 --> 12:52.980 And then, the day of the deadline! 12:52.980 --> 12:54.520 I finished! 12:54.980 --> 12:56.770 I thought I was going to die. 12:57.150 --> 12:59.110 My pen and heart were about to break. 12:59.980 --> 13:01.320 Good job on finishing that up! 13:01.320 --> 13:02.150 Peek. 13:02.400 --> 13:04.900 I have 30 minutes left until the deadline to send it to the printers. 13:05.150 --> 13:09.620 There are parts I wish I could fix, but I think this is plenty for a first attempt. 13:09.830 --> 13:10.660 Okay, Ms. Makuwa. 13:10.910 --> 13:14.330 Can you please check the pages that you haven't seen yet? 13:14.330 --> 13:15.920 Uploading it to the cloud now... 13:18.750 --> 13:19.420 Huh? 13:19.840 --> 13:21.920 I'm sorry, can you send it over again? 13:22.170 --> 13:25.510 It looks like it didn't save properly, so I can't open the file. 13:25.510 --> 13:26.680 Got it. 13:27.510 --> 13:30.430 Huh?

You don't have the original file? 13:43.690 --> 13:46.320 Instead of copying the file over, I moved it. 13:46.320 --> 13:49.950 The autosave file is from several days ago, too. 13:51.120 --> 13:53.200 So... it no longer exists. 13:53.490 --> 13:58.790 "Data Loss." It's a part of digital creation where you must exercise extreme caution. 13:58.790 --> 14:02.090 Please be careful, as a few hours of labor can disappear in an instant. 14:02.170 --> 14:04.840 Page 23!
