Story of Longevity

Summer Comic, its full name is ComicMarket, which means "Comic Market". It is opened twice a year, once in summer and once in winter, so it is divided into summer comic and winter comic.

But their basic functions are all the same. If you want to say something different, then you can only say that the Winter Festival is more... better? After all, it will be warmer if people crowd in in winter, but not in summer. Especially the summer in Tokyo is even more sad.

The comic market, as its name implies, is a place where all kinds of comics gather, but the reason why it is a "market" instead of other tall words such as "supermarket" or "hall" is actually because it is nothing in itself A tall store.

The first ComicMarket in the very first period was actually a hypermarket featuring 18 banned fan comics, or a crowd of stalls.

There is no company distribution, no entry card, and no restrictions on the subject matter. You can draw comics completely by yourself, print them at your own expense, and just sell them yourself.

Loss or profit is also the burden of yourself or your own small group, and has nothing to do with this venue.

Of course, if the things you buy are healthy or not, there is no one to review, no one to manage, and the event venue is also not responsible.

A typical "place of nowhere" in the field of manga culture.

But because of such a completely liberalized organizational model, this place has produced countless outstanding works in less than a hundred years, and has made countless industry gods.

Because of this, the “open” culture that does not remember the consequences has brought huge original power and economic benefits to the neon ACG culture, and even radiated this culture to all corners of the world, which really makes people have to Admire this reckless "handwork".

Of course... it may be deceiving if you pay and pay, but you will never deceive if you pay if you pay.

Unrestricted disclosure of information, or unlimited restricted creation and sales, will definitely bring some problems.

The most obvious consequence is that neon has a lot of abnormalities, the fertility rate is somewhat low, and the aging and declining birth rate are also quite fast...

But all of this is actually a light price, and it is not without a heavier price.

For example, what if someone sells a book of curses in this venue? It is the kind of textbook that guides human beings to learn the law of curses and exercise the art of curses.

""Cursed Essays"?"

Yes, it is this book.

The Star Carving has been opened in front of the booth. Star Carving guarantees that he has less than a hundred years of magic age. This booklet of less than 30 pages contains at least more than 20 effects from entry to advanced. The curse of the crowd.

There is everything from the most basic puppet to the real name curse that requires extremely high levels of magic and life.

To use an unsuitable analogy, this book is like a [skill tree] of a rare class called [Cursed]. You can take it slowly from level one to level one hundred.

Moreover, compared to this kind of skill book appearing in places where comics are sold, Xingke also discovered an even more incredible thing, that is...

""Curse Collection" only sells for 1,000 yen?!

real or fake? so cheap? ! "

This is a big profit, okay? In the past, star carvings were used to exchange gold nuggets for magic books!

Now you can buy it for the price of a cup of tea, what are you waiting for! ?

"Boss, I want all the books you have here!"

Xingke instantly decided that he had all included the two hundred books on this booth.

Why don't you buy it so cheap? It's not a magician if you don't buy it!

However, what Xingke did not expect was that the stall owner refused Xingke's purchase intention.

"No way."

"Why? Don't you sell books?"

"One person is only allowed to purchase two volumes."

"That's a rule set by a famous manga artist to prevent selling out of stock, right?"

"Yes."

"then you……"

"I like."

"...I was speechless."

Until now, Xing Ke had the opportunity to observe this very passive and proud stall owner.

Long straight black hair covering one eye, blood red eyes, gentleman's round glasses, deacon's long suit, beautiful face and slender figure...

Very good, Xingke confirmed that this guy is not a human at all.

Because of his attitude, the star carving can see through it at a glance.

This is a false appearance changed by magic.

The appearance disguised with magic power can deceive others, but can't deceive Star Carved.

"The stall owner, are you not a human?"

"So what? Mage."

The owner of the stall who was seen through his identity immediately became sharp, as if a sharp sword pierced the star carving.

Is this the murderous spirit in the legend?

"No, no, nothing..."

Having not seen him for many years, seeing the real murderous intent, Xingke immediately persuaded him, and hurriedly stepped back, blocking Long Zhisuke, who was looking at his shopping with an innocent face behind him, in front of him. His head was exposed behind Ryunosuke.

"Mr. Vendor, you are not human, and you may not understand the rules of human trafficking.

Here, only the booths of famous fan (book) painters are eligible to limit the sales volume.

Because this can prevent some greedy people known as the "Scalper" from using their books to make huge profits and discredit their reputations.

You have to know that for more than ten years, regardless of famous or unknown, insisting on selling comics in this environment at an average price of 500 yen, this is a very conscientious welfare behavior.

This can't be done without a high character and love for comics.

But here you..."

Having said this, Xingke took a peek at the expression of the stall owner, and then got a sentence...

"Participating for the first time."

Although it still felt cold, the murderous lock was not released, but at least he answered Xingke's question.

At least it means that this entity is actually the stall owner of [Evil Dragon] who can communicate.

So Xingke tried to comfort him.

"...It doesn't matter, don't care about common things.

Everyone was like this when they were not famous.

After all, there are more than 50,000 booths here. There is no time to visit. First, you can visit a famous painter before you have time to [fish] a newcomer~www.ltnovel.com~ right? "

Xing Ke glanced at the booths on both sides of the booth with embarrassment. Both sides were full of queues, which were about 20 meters long.

Only here, like a river in the land, there is no one except Xingke and Ryunosuke.

Say it in advance, this is definitely not Xingke's hands and feet, it was like this before Xingke discovered this.

I can’t blame others, I can only blame the stall owner for the comics he drew with practical effects, but the style is really curious, and the curiousity of mosaics on TV.

And the cover is not good at all, not attractive at all.

The reason for not being able to sell is the same as the first limited edition of "Divine Comedy-Altaïr" by Star Engraved.

But it was precisely because no one bought it that Xingke discovered this strange little stall, and it was also because everyone bought it that it was convenient for Xingke's plan to save the world by the way.

No way, Neon does not have radio and television, and the Ethics Publishing Committee is just a decoration. If Star Carving does not come out, it will be troublesome if it is broadcast... It is also very interesting, such as the sky and small books.

"All in all, you see, Mr. Vendor, if you can’t sell a single copy like this, you might as well let me [find] you...what are you doing? Don’t be impulsive! It’s troublesome for people to erase the memory!"

Seeing that the mood and magic of the stall owner in front of him began to fluctuate at the same time, Xing Ke quickly pulled the bewildered Ryunosuke's shield behind him.

Then Kankan greeted the first wave of curses from the dark magic.

"You said... I can't sell a copy?!

Human magician, you successfully angered me!

In the name of Fafner, the dragon guarding the treasure! ——【Law Order? Death】! "
