"Might as well get started then." Akeno encouraged. Even if only for having a decent portfolio, she thought Atsuko should finish every single one of the post haste. "If you ever need some pointers or anything, let me know, I'll be happy to help." She blinked in confusion as she heard she was being treated, and once processing the offer she shook her head. "Hey, hey, no need! I'm just glad I get to help a fellow artist is all, it's its own reward." She said with a sheepish smile, scratching the back of her head. Regarding Hideki's question, she started counting the years with her hands' fingers. "Actually working... Uh... Two, three years? Unless you count random online commissions, at that point's pretty much a decade." |

"Oh, don't be silly, Akeno! You did something wonderful for me!" Atsuko cheered. She was so happy to have met her. "Eat as much as you can! It's no problem for me to pay!~" She said happily. She would rather die than let them pay. Atsuko grinned. "Wow! You're so amazing! I bet you're going to be the best mangaka in the world someday!" |

"Oh wow, a decade? That gotta be a lot of experience to have!" Hideki said, surprised by the time she spent in her craft. After seeing the drawing examples she made, it's no wonder how she was so good. "I agree with Atsuko-san, someone of your expertise would surely be able to eventually fame sooner or later!" Maybe she just needed more publicity? Or more influence? She already had the talent, maybe she's just not lucky enough spreading word around. "By the way, what are your mangas about?" The drawings were mostly miscellaneous, so he wondered what sort of genre she was part of. |

"Well, uh... Thanks, then." A small smile grew on Akeno's lips in appreciation. Hey, free food was free food! It wasn't like she was rich in the first place to afford eating out so often, that day had been a self treat. A very good one that she seemingly didn't have to pay for. All was good in the world! "Best mangaka...?" That actually earned a chuckle out of her. "Eh, I don't think there's such a thing. Each artist has their own style, y'know? Each one can be the best at what they do specifically, just not all in all." She shrugged with Hideki's remark. In her opinion, she had actually started quite late - she hadn't done anything of the sort during most of her childhood, which was a waste. Instead, she had been lending her body completely to gymnastics. I don't hear a certain someone complaining about the flexibility~ "Just your typical Shounen thing really. Some guy who's a bounty hunter but the monsters he has to kill for a living only show up at night and in certain locations." It was a good way to experiment with a tiny cast, travelling and monster design. |

"Wow! It sounds so cool and interesting!" Atsuko cheered. Killing monsters was always awesome. She did it herself sometimes. Slaying Shadows was hard work though. "Do you make up the monsters? Or do you research various ones from different cultures around the world to use?" Atsuko asked. She honestly hoped it was the latter. It would show that Akeno haa a lot more dedication. A woman who looked a lot like Atsuko walked over. She placed a hand on the girl's shoulder and smiled at them. "Sorry to disturb you, but I just need to speak with my daughter for just a minute!" She said. Atsuko turned her head. "Did I do something wrong?" "Just wondering if you're feeling okay? You look very pale..." The orange-headed girl immediately blushed. Of course it was a health question! It had to be in front of people! Every single time! She chuckled sheepishly at her mom. "N-No! I'm fine, mom! This is just my normal complexion..." Her mom smiled. "Okay, dear. I'll be in the kitchen if you need me, dad's out her for the moment too." Her mom waved and back to kitchen. Leaving Atsuko with an urge to jump out in traffic. |

"Oh my, that sounds interesting!" He said, pondering how did she work on such a premise. "How does he do it? Does he have a lot of gadgets to help it? Or does he have magic and stuff?" Hideki asked curiously. It wasn't until suddenly someone came in to talk to Atsuko for a moment. Turns out it was her mother, who was askint about... Health related things? "Huh? Atsuko-san, what did she mean?" He wondered as the mother was leaving. He did hear something about "pale", but Atsuko didn't exactly look sickly just because of paleness. |

"A bit of both, actually." Akeno smoothly left out the part where she used to go around some abandoned labyrinth ruins just under Nagashima for inspiration. As of late she just plain started throwing those little thingies as random enemies in her manga... It worked! Akeno didn't seem to mind Atsuko's mom's interruption, taking the opportunity to make an actual dent in her meal as opposed to incessantly chatting. And successful she was, as her stomach was almost rumbling from hunger. The day hadn't been that great thus far, but the meal and pleasant company were making up for it. "Mostly, he uses his blade, and cunning. Occasionally he has some help from people with those things you mentioned. Variety's good, y'know." And with that, people couldn't guess how the next fight would go, past the obvious 'the hero must always win' trope. |

"Oh, nothing. She's my mom, and she tends to worry about me a bit too much..." Atsuko chuckled sheepishly. Her parents didn't want her to get sick again, and neither did she. But her parents always kept a close on her, just in case. "Sounds wonderful! If I ever see a copy of it around, I'll be sure to pick it up!" Atsuko cheered. She wondered if they were even sold in stores. |

"Ah, I see." He responded, letting out a slight chuckle at the last remark. If they were this concerned with Atsuko now, just imagine how they would react if they found out she was a User. Note to self, never let parents know you are a User. "Actually, it sounds interesting! I'll see if I can get a copy if I see it on sale one day." He said. Even if he wasn't interested in mangas, helping a friend take off it's always a good thing. |

With the mention of getting copies, Akeno halted her meal once again (regrettably), and fished for a copy she always carried for show in her bag. It wasn't the most recent issue, but, better than nothing. She handed it to Atsuko. "Here, y'can keep it. I have a few of those at home." Little did any of them know that would be worth a pretty penny one day. |
