Act 3: Chapter 39.2 - The End of Turmoil

?First, allow me to say this, Kanata-dono… I have no intention to give up on finding a way to cure Kotone-dono. But, I’m also aware that the chance for her to be cured is really low.?

?I… Am aware of that.?

?I won’t force you if you’re unwilling to answer this question and stop at this point… Kanata-dono, are you an otherworlder who come from the same world as Kotone-dono??

I hesitated for a moment but I ended up nodding.

I had no intention to hide it at this point of time.

Moreover, Gannet who had contact with Kotone-san must’ve long since realized that I was an otherworlder just like her.

That’s why there was no use lying to him at this point.

?I see… May I presume that you also know about Kotone-dono;s hobby too??

Gannet asked with a serious look on his face.

I nodded at him since this matter might be related to her hobby.

?Yes, Gannet-san must have already know about her hobby too, right??

?Yes, though I know it’s rude, I conduct various investigations about Kotone-dono… Kotone-dono even told me when she wanted to take a break from her adventuring job. She told me that she want to finish her work, so I prepared a workplace for her.?

?You know that much eh…?

Kotone’s dream was to spread manga culture in this world.

Surely, using her connection with Gannet who led the ?Mithril’s Cane? was the simplest and fastest way to spread her works.

?The truth is… I wanted to at least fulfill Kotone-dono’s dream.?

Gannet opened the thick envelope on the desk as he spoke.

He took out a lot of paper from inside.

?Is this…??

?Kotone-dono’s manga. In fact, I lent her one of the rooms in ?Mithril’s Cane? when she said that she wanted to focus on finishing this manga. This is something that we collected from her workplace.?

Surely, she did tell me before that she wanted to show me her manga when we visited next time but, are you sure about showing me her manga without permission like this… Gannet-san?

I mean, Kotone seems to be slightly embarrassed by this secret hobby of hers.

Well, Gannet who lived his life in this world devoid of manga culture might have no idea just how embarrassed it was to show the manga that you draw on your own to other people.

Though I was worried about that matter, my curiosity won over me.

I apologized to her inside my heart while scanning over the manga.

It was a battle manga.

The setting was a supernatural battle in the world based on a Japanese setting.

?Interesting…?

?Yeah, you think the same right? Kotone-dono doesn’t seems to agree with this opinion but, even I think that this will be a hit.?

Gannet nodded happily.

But then, I agree with Kotone’s opinion about this work being unsatisfactory.

The setting and content was cliche, I could pretty much point out which and what kind of reference she used here.

Moreover, despite the above average quality of the drawing, it wasn’t on the level of a pro.

But, considering the fact that this was the first manga in Locklore, it was definitely the best of the kind.

?I’m a little bit confused about what kind of manga that Kotone-dono wanted to make. That’s why I want to ask you a few things about that matter. I’ll be really grateful if Kanata-dono can explain about those matters. Everything is for the sake of spreading Kotone-dono’s manga in this world.?

?Leave it to me, I’m ready to cooperate anytime.?

I also wanted to fulfill Kotone’s dream to spread manga culture in this world.

?Ooh, thank you very much, Kanata-dono! The mood of the citizens of Manarak is rather gloomy after the previous turmoil after all. Though it’ll increase the labor force, it will allow us to mass produce the original copy in large numbers, it’ll only take a few days before it can get released. Meanwhile, I also need Kanata-dono’s opinion in a rather trivial matter but…?

?Don’t worry about it. I’m not in such hurry and ready to be of help for you.?

?Thank you very much.?

Gannet nodded happily while stroking his beard.

?Which reminds me, Kanata-dono, there’s this manga that I can’t understand. It’s in the last envelope, will you take a look at it for now??

?A manga that you can’t understand… Is it??

The moment I read that manga, I understood what he meant immediately.

And since it was using the characters of manga that I’m rather familiar with, my face stiffened the moment I read the content.

To sum it up, it was a manga which used the characters of extremely popular manga… A BL doujinshi.

Well, Kotone did say she loves the original manga.

This doujinshi might be drawn for her personal enjoyment instead of showing it to others.

It was a story without setting or any kind of background story, even the quality of the drawing was sub-par.

?Since that was the only example I could find, I have no idea what it was… Kotone-dono might’ve another page hidden in her room.?

?Uhm… There’s no need to see this manga. To be exact, we should burn it to ashes and never publish it.?

?Uh…? Is that so??

Gannet didn’t seem to understand the reason though.
