Start By Becoming A Mangaka
Chapter 155: Gold Future Cup 1

Yuuki looked at six people in front of him. He looked Tsubasa who was excited and Ruki who was nervous. He couldn't blame her since in front of them were quite a famous mangaka in Shounen Jump and they were mangaka from Gongon Weekly.

"Well, Niizuma, can you introduce them?" Yuuki asked.

"That's right, caw! All of them is my friend! The long-haired one is Fukuda-san! The chubby one is Nakai-san! And the only girl is Aoki ko-san!" Niizuma said while opened his hands wide.

"Niizuma-kun, who are they?" Fukuda looked at Yuuki, Ruki, and Tsubasa.

Mashiro and Takagi knew the identity of three people in front of them but it was different for Fukuda, Nakai, and Aoki. They didn't know about it and quite curious since they saw Mashiro, Takagi, and Niizuma looked very courteous.

Shinta Fukuda is a main supporting character in Bakuman.

Yuriko Aiko is a supporting character and mangaka in Bakuman. She uses Ko Aoki as her pen name in Jump to avoid crowds of fans.

Takuro Nakai is a Mangaka under Shueisha. For the latter of his career, he maintained a living as an assistant to other Mangakas.

Yuuki knew who they were but he didn't say anything. He looked at Yuriko and didn't expect she was very cute.

"EHEM!! Let me introduce you to the three people in front of you! CAW!! But I don't know the other 2!!" Niizuma said with dramatic way. He pointed his finger at Yuuki, "He is the famous Yuuki-sensei!!"

When Niizuma introduced him Yuriko, Nakai and Fukuda looked very startled. They would never expect to meet Yuuki-sensei.

Fukuda took out something from his pant and gave it to him, "PLEASE, GIVE ME A SIGN!!"

Yuuki didn't expect him to be his fans. He nodded at him and gave him a signature.

"Hmm, I've some questions, can I ask you?" Takagi who had been silent raised his hand.

"Well, it depends on the questions though," Yuuki said.

Takagi adjusted his glasses and asked, "Are you also the writer of 'Sword Art Online'?" He had heard that Yuuki who was the one who wrote it but he still wanted to confirm it from the person in front of him.

Yuuki didn't think it was a secret and nodded at him, "Yeah, I'm the one who writes it."

"Caw, caw, that light novel is awesome, Yuuki-sensei!" Niizuma stood up and said with a strange pose. He tried to mimic Kirito's technique with both of his manga pen.

Fukuda was still happy with the signature he got from Yuuki. Nakai was overwhelmed with the pressure in this store but Yuriko looked curiously at both girls beside Yuuki. She was wondering if they were also a fellow mangaka. It was her first time to meet girl's mangaka and younger than her at that.

"Umm, can I ask who are they?" Yuriko was also wondering if one of them were his girlfriend.

Yuuki looked at both Tsubasa and Ruki. He asked whether it was fine to introduce them about their real identity in the mangaka world.

Tsubasa was fine since her name was quite cool but she was actually quite afraid that she would disappoint her reader if they knew she was actually a woman. She drew a Shounen manga which most of them being drawn by a male. She hung her head and noticed someone patted her head.

"Don't worry, I'm sure, they'll be happy to see you," Yuuki said to encourage her.

"Umm," Tsubasa got her confidence back when she heard him.

"Her name is Tsubasa and her pen name is Wing V-sensei," Yuuki said made the six people in front of them startled.

They knew who Wing V-sensei was since he was a famous newcomer from Gongon Weekly and self-proclaimed Yuuki-sensei's general. They didn't expect him to be a girl and a cute one at that.

They blinked their eyes then screamed especially Niizuma, "Caw! Caw! Wing-V-sensei! I'm your fan!" The other person was also happy to see her.

Tsubasa didn't expect that they would have an exciting expression. She was happy that no one would discriminate against her. She also gave a sign on Niizuma's book.

"And who is she?" Mashiro looked curiously at the last beautiful girl. In his opinion, Ruki looked very graceful and thought she was writing Shoujo manga. The other person also had the same opinion as him and looked curiously at Ruki.

Ruki who was being stared started to feel embarrassed. She was very shy with her pen name and her manga. After all, she drew an ecchi manga but her pen name was just too awful. She didn't want them to know and looked at both Yuuki and Tsubasa with begging expression.

Yuuki nodded in agreement. He knew that Ruki's pen name was just awful especially for a cute girl like her but it was a different case for Tsubasa. Tsubasa didn't think it was embarrassing and told them her identity.

Ruki noticed that Tsubasa wanted to open her mouth. She wanted to stop her, "Tsu-chan!!" But it was too late. Tsubasa had already told them about her identity.

"She is Big Boobies♥Himeko!" Tsubasa said with a proud expression.

"WAAAAAA!!!!" Ruki was almost crying when her friend told them her pen name. She had been trying hard to cover it but her friend blew it away.

Yuuki shook his head and tried to calm Ruki down. He wanted to laugh at her pen name since it was just too awful.

The six people mangaka from Shounen Jump were in a shocked state. They didn't expect this graceful looking girl to be an ecchi mangaka.

Fukuda almost had a nosebleed when he thought about it. He looked at Yuuki with an envious gaze. He thought that both Ruki and Yuuki were doing an experiment every night to draw a manga.

Mashiro, Takagi, and Nakai were also shocked.

Niizuma blinked his eyes several times. It was a gap moe!

Yuriko took out something from her bag and gave it to Ruki, "Please, sign this!" She liked her manga very much.

Ruki even though she was crying still signs her manga. Yuriko was the first fan she had met after all.

When Ruki calmed down, they started to talk about the main thing.

"So? Why did you come out together?" Yuuki asked. After all, it was quite rare to see many mangakas gathered like this.

"We're going to talk about the Gold Future Cup," Takagi said.

"Gold Future Cup?"
