Manga

Whilst the clone stood silently on the living room, Kuro have hidden outside the room, while covering himself with darkness, he gained control from some days ago.

The reason of covering himself with the darkness was for that the person he's about to prank now, won't detect him. After all, her ears are really good.

Unexpectedly and coincidentally, Ayame and Okayu left their room, at the same time. Seeing Okayu going out from Kuro's room, she earned the suspicious looks from Ayame, knitting her brows. From the eyesight of clone, Kuro silently laughed at how cute thatlooked.

""Ah, Kuro~! Good morni-…"" The two spouted the same words at the same time, making no delays. Afterwrd, they also cancelled their sentences at the same time, looking at the clone in front of them suspiciously.

The clones in front of them, had the exactly same appearances with Kuro. The only differences was, this one looked more cuter than the original ones. The moment Ayame's hand touched the sheath of Asura, her eyebrows raised, then she lets her hand out from Asura.

At the same time, Asura disappeared to the space, while Okayu whose whole attention on the clone, loosened her eyes, her eyes didn't bare the emotions of cautious and panic anymore—it changed into distract.

'Damn it they saw through it instantly. How!?' Kuro outside the tree house, sweated a bullet, then gave up.

"There you are, Kuro. What're you doing here?" Whilst Kuro was distracted, Ayame appeared in front of Kuro, surprising him as it was too sudden.

"Nothing." Because of how easily his small prank was seen through, Kuro couldn't help but puff his face out. Now that she found out that he was hiding here, Kuro couldn't help but wonder himself.

How did she found out? Kuro made sure to hide the sound wave he produces, by engulfing it with the darkness he made. From his expectations, even with Ayame's sense of ears which is inhumanly good, shouldn't even be able to hear it,

Not to mention, his clone was easily seen through, not only by Ayame-chan, but also Okayu.

"As I expected… Kuro, you have become more cuter!" With a straight face, Ayame said while observing Kuro's face seriously.

'Stop that… wouldn't you? I am a boy… I'm gonna cry, if you keep that, okay?' Kuro thought to himself. His thoughts exactly transmitted to his face.

"I am not lying! Although I don't what changed, Kuro's look feels become more refreshing! And… I feel I can look at it for an hour straight!" Ayame tried her best to rephrase what Kuro looks into words.

"D-do I also look cool?" Kuro nervously said.

"Hm? No?" Meanwhile, the Oni's words were as heartless and as merciless as the ogre, it easily stabbed Kuro's heart.

"But don't worry, Kuro! Even if you don't look cool, to me, you are the coolest person I've known!" At least she tried, doesn't she? Despite her attempt to cheer him up, Kuro began to throw tantrum, so much that he refused to return inside the tree house.

After thinking with a hard face, her face brightened up as she suggested: "How about I piggyback you to tree house like we did before?"

Kuro was genuinely tempted, but his pride didn't forgive it. "No! I don't need to."

Instead, Kuro decided to spoil himself by holding her hands. The two looked like a good friends, which you can see an kindergarten children from time to time.

Since the past days, Kuro have been working hid rune writing to make an official elevators so that climbing up would be convenient, but it was hard, as expected. Even spending a whole days in it, it was incomplete. Purely due to his writing speed. He already got his formula right on.

"Kuro~!" Once Kuro and Ayame climbed up the treehouse, Okayu went toward Kuro, and embraced his arm. And like a cat would do, she started rubbing her heads to it.

All of this happening while the clone was rune writing on each cards, and it seems like it wouldn't be too long for the 2nd deck to be made.

"Ah, that's right! Ayame-chan, among the story I told you, which one was the most fun?"

"Story?… oh. Let's see… Rise of the Shield Hero was fun, while Blue Lock was also good… but, I think I liked Inuyasha the most!" While deeply pondering she slowly answered.

"What story?" Meanwhile, the 'story' mentioned by two piqued the cat's interests.

"It's the story of a human in the modern age, by falling through the well, going forth and back to the past… and a certain story between human and fox demon. I am going to use magic and this story… will take it's form." Looking at the two's eyes glimmer in hope, Kuro smiled as the desire to return their expectation welled up.

The problem was… his art style. He already confirmed it that his writing was actually good, and their appearance, what they look wasn't a problem to Kuro as he have seen it through 21's memory (he showed it).

The problem was; whether to force himself and imitate their art style, or to risk it and write in his own art style which isn't that bad compared to the original style.

However, manga isn't a things to be taken lightly. Masterpiece is a thing, if you imitate it but with a changed art-style, it can ruin the rhythm of the story, and the readers may not get the best experiences from the manga which Kuro intended.

Not to mention changing the art-style, changing a single scene from a masterpiece. For example the Demon Slayer manga scene of where Rengoku Kyojurou dies. If you change it to a scene where he won't die at that scene, that manga wouldn't turn into a masterpiece, but a mere 'fan-fiction' made by the reader.

It's because that Rengoku Kyojurou died at that scene that the main character was able to growth at accelerated speed. It's because that Rengoku Kyojurou died that scene that the reader was made aware that any person could die at any moment in that manga no matter how strong they are.

If some deleted that scene, what would the impression of readers be when reading that Demon Slayer rip-off? It was a joke to try to misinterpret with the masterpiece, if you don't have the capabilities to make a good story in the first place.

That's being said, Kuro had the ambition. He didn't want just to copy the story on his world to this world. He want to engrave his 'own work' to this world, as well. This is the 2nd reason why he decided to rely on clone.

He will try to have a competition from the manga in 21's world with the manga from his own hand.

While the clone began to move his hand, the pen moving swiftly, Kuro himself was thinking on how should he plan his manga to work on.

As for the Inuyasha, Kuro decided to write it in his own art-style.
