Chapter 601: Debut Anniversary with Cake and Red Envelopes
Android 18 married Krillin.

Comic fans were very surprised by this.

After all, the gap between the two sides seems to be very large.

Now is not the era when beautiful women are the protagonists, but Krillin is described as the second protagonist in the minds of comic fans, which is not a big problem. After all, he has always fought side by side with Son Goku and experienced life and death. As long as Son Gohan doesn’t mind.

A comic fan commented directly on the forum: “It is actually very reasonable for No. 18 to choose Krillin. Krillin has a kind and upright character and a strong sense of responsibility. Although he sometimes seems a little timid in battle, he never backs down and always strives to overcome his fear and bravely faces strong enemies.”

“You’re right. No. 18 isn’t an ordinary girl who would be picked on based on her looks.”

A female comic fan was unhappy: “As a girl, I am offended. The above poster, don’t you follow No. 18 because she is beautiful?”

“Krillin doesn’t even have a nose, lol. The point is, would you women consider a bald guy? Isn’t that the definition of a greasy uncle?”

The female comic fan did not respond directly, but other male comic fans answered jokingly: “Hey, speaking of baldness, girls might really like it. As the saying goes, nine out of ten bald men are strong, and Krillin is still the strongest person on Earth, so why doesn’t Eighteen like it?”

“Someone above reminded me, why is Qiqi still so irritable after getting married? Isn’t Sun Wukong super strong?”

“Sun Wukong doesn’t make money.”

“Hahaha, the upstairs is so realistic.”

Comic fans mentioned the various judgments of men and women on suitable partners from the perspective of love and marriage in society, and finally someone even brought up Oda Shingo’s ideas.

“Didn’t you notice? I think this is Mr. Oda’s good wishes to the losers.”

“I feel the same way. It’s rare to have a brother who shares the same opinion as me.”

“That’s right. Although Mr. Oda is handsome and rich, he still supports us ordinary otakus.”

“That’s right. Eighteen and Krillin’s partnership is Oda-sensei’s love for otakus. He is the matchmaker for us otakus.”

“I worship Oda-sensei and hope to meet a nice girl this year.”

Below the post is a selfie taken by the poster at home, which is a photo of an interview with Oda Shingo in a magazine, and also shows the environment of burning incense and offering sacrifices.

If this was a black and white photo with a circle of flowers, Oda Shingo would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

This hot topic became popular for a while, and everyone praised Oda Nobuo for being kind to otakus, and then began to pay attention to Mr. Satan.

“Why does Oda-sensei often portray Satan? He’s just a villain, right?”

“Why not?”

The headquarters building of Qunying Society and the editorial office of this magazine.

When the editors saw posts like this, they could only shake their heads helplessly.

It has been a year since the rival Oda Shingo debuted. How many loyal fans does he want to win over?
Many cartoonists take several years to accumulate some fans, but Oda Shingo seems to have countless fans speaking for him with just one move.

It’s clearly a bald character getting married, so how did it involve Oda Nobuo taking care of otaku?
But only a little bit

His popularity is too good, isn’t it? It makes people envious and jealous.

The editors of Qun Ying Society were shaking their heads and sighing when the door of the editorial office was slammed open.

A young editor rushed in, his face full of anxiety and tension, and reported loudly: “There’s a quarrel, and it’s almost a fight!”

“what?”

“The seniors who came to help started arguing again because of their dispute over the direction of the plot!”

“Nani?!”

The editor was dumbfounded. It was only five issues in the series, right? It could even be said that the enemy hadn’t made a move yet. How come our own people were arguing over and over again, and now it was getting so serious that they were about to start a fight?

The editors of our magazine rushed to mediate the fight.

When he rushed to the workroom of the senior colleagues who were helping out, the editor was shocked to find that the blackboard had been kicked over.

Several old veterans were facing each other like fighting cocks, their eyes were wide open with bloodshot in the corners, and they were ready to fight at any time.

Fortunately, because hitting others is a taboo in the Japanese workplace, this did not immediately turn into a gang fight.

“What’s going on?” The editor-in-chief quickly asked the staff present. A senior assistant whispered, “Oda Shingo posted a message in his personal column.”

“Which sentence?”

“Who is the leader of the group of heroes who are fighting with me in the comics?”

“Just that one sentence?” The editor-in-chief wanted to bang his head against his desk.

One peach kills three warriors. Are these old guys going to fight like cockfighting just for a chance to argue with Oda Shingo?

Those old guys at the headquarters who are only good at talking on paper are making random orders to summon their seniors to help fight against the big devil, but it is simply impossible to achieve!

While Qun-eisha was in a panic, Oda Shingo was still busy preparing a new comic.

The question “Who is the boss?” was really just a casual question. He himself didn’t know that the other party would react like this.

However, he recently rejected a small event held by Springfield Books.

Haruta Sadako originally wanted to arrange a “first anniversary of debut” ceremony to commemorate the first anniversary of Oda Shingo’s manga serialization.

But Oda Shingo replied: “Thank you very much, but I just want to draw comics, and this kind of ceremony will take up too much time.”

Showing up in public might attract girls like Kurokawa. And Namikaze Yuzuru is quite socially anxious. Last time I took her to an event, it was mainly to announce the relationship status with his girlfriend. She was very reluctant and didn’t say anything to anyone else during the whole event.

But in order to celebrate the anniversary of Oda Shingo’s debut, Sadako, the boss of Springfield Bookstore, still visited and sent Ferrantino chocolate cake, which was airlifted from Italy and cost at least 400 million yen.

“Mr. Oda, thank you for your hard work.” Haruta Sadako also wrapped a red envelope and presented it to him.

Japanese bosses generally don’t give out red envelopes outside of festivals, but this kind of red envelopes with symbolic meaning for the career are not uncommon.

After she left, Oda Nobuo opened the red envelope and took a look.

It has to be said that the red envelopes in Japan are actually white envelopes, which is also a completely different custom from that in China.

“This cake looks so expensive!”

“Is that the Italian Air Freight logo on the side of the box?”

Namikaze Youhe and the other three girls looked at the cake.

Oda Shingo was only concerned about the red envelope, but after opening it he found that the amount was not much, only 8 yen.

The amount of money in a red envelope is not important in Japan, it is just a commemoration of a stage in life. On the other hand, Japan pays attention to odd numbers and auspiciousness, avoiding 4 and 9, and 8 is an exception.

It is said that 8 turned sideways is the symbol of infinity and is seen as implying unlimited possibilities in work and career.

Also, Haruta Sadako might really not have known that Oda Shingo would be short of money.

He never told anyone that he had bought a new house and was in debt.

Oda Shingo complained: “It’s only 80,000 yen. I might as well cash this cake. I’m very poor now… Ugh!”

Before he could finish his words, a piece of cake was stuffed into his mouth.

Namikaze Youzuru put away his fork and looked at him with a smile.

The cake tasted really good, and there was a little bit of gold foil in it, which made it look luxurious. Oda Shingo wanted to take off all the gold foil and exchange it for money.

Of course, gold is too ductile, and gold foil is actually not valuable, it is just a symbol of luxury. However, the ingredients of these cakes are more expensive than gold foil.

“It’s delicious!” Yuko Mikami stood beside the cake and ate it.

While eating the Fujido orange, she began to wonder how to cut off a piece for her dad to try.

“As long as you are happy. Eating cake is better than holding a ceremony.” Oda Shingo just let it go as he watched the three girls enjoying the meal.

He took out his cell phone, took a picture of the cake, and sent it to Mrs. Yukino in Hokkaido, asking about her diet.

“Ah – I have no appetite recently -” Mrs. Yukino answered lazily.
