Well, it took us a while, but we finally made it here.

I didn't think that would happen to us.

It's like that "Cow Head" story.

It's your fault, Utsuro. Running ahead on your own again...

That's why I told you!

Stop being a hotheaded idiot!

Sh-Shut up!

I wanted to...

Wanted to what?

That's enough, rookies.

Looks like we made it here safely.

Our next investigation target.

So this is the place...

Be careful from this point.

We don't know what's hiding where...

Oboro!

Are you okay?

Don't touch me.

I'm fine.

What the hell happened?

I don't know.

URON MIRAGE

URON MIRAGE CHAPTER 119: THE PHASEY HUNT, PART 4

I don't know.

My blank guard was active. But it came from behind so quickly...

Damn it, I let my guard down.

Hah, you let me down.

What?

I'm saying that it's not like you to be so careless on the battlefield!

What did you say? What the hell do you even know?

Dragon and Tiger, if but steered the wagon, would be a taiko festival.

That's enough bickering.

It's just as Commander Fuwa had predicted.

The phasey are indeed hiding inside the run-down building.

What is this place, anyway?

The sign has rotted away and it's not really legible.

-- RESEARCH FACILITY

Er, nyer... Research Facility.

Seems like it's a facility that was used to research something.

Let's hurry up and go!

We can't let them escape like they did in the Recapturing Chaos disaster.

Wait!

Hurried arches of the foot will not allow for lovingly steamed food.

Young rookies will always panic and make mistakes. Follow my orders.

I will go east, and Sagiri will go infiltrate from the west building.

Utsuro and Oboro, you will both wait here.

Wait until one of us calls for backup.

How long are you going to treat us like novices, Senpai?

We're Feints now, too! So we're good enough to watch your back.

Oboro.

You're speaking quite a lot today.

Then, I shall teach you one thing.

You know what they say about chatty lions on the battlefield...

Zack! Behind you!

It is ineffective.

Stand back.

Would you look at that, Zack's gonna do "that."

"That"?

It's just way too fast, so no one's really seen it.

Zack Balan's ultimate move!

Oh no, Zack!

What? Zack got eaten!

And he was trying to do something.

It's fine, there's no need to worry.

Then, you're saying Zack is alive?

That's about half true.

It's unclear, but I kind of remember faintly hearing something about

how phasey crave the power of Feints.

From that, we might be able to predict with some certainty

that they might want to absorb Zack's powers.

Oh my, while I was talking...

a whole host of them have arrived!

Sagiri! Were there supposed to be this many phaseys here?

Who knows?

Damn those old guys. That trap was a fake.

So that means they made a decoy look like a bluff.

Utsuro! Oboro! I'm going to go save Zack.

I'm saying that I'm leaving this place to you!

Your Body Feints are unknown, right?

Then you'll be able to easily overcome this challenge!

Yessir!

Don't slow me down.

Back at ya!

They told me to aim for the top, and that lit a fire in me!

Commander Fuwa, what do you plan to do?

Honoka, you've grown so much.

It's sexual harassment to refer to a woman's age.

No.

I meant your measurements.

Have you gone mad?

The Elders will not keep quiet about your unorthodox methods.

Wait!

We don't want to involve you!

You're off your guard, Teach.

But...

We have no idea

what will happen out there!

Even if you think about it, the answer is in a grove.

We're going with Sagiri and Zack-senpai!

Commander, do you plan to initiate a coup?

Or perhaps you're...

It's neither.

But...

it's also both.

No good.

Our cuts are meaningless. Are phasey immortal?

How should I know?

Don't they have any weaknesses?

Don't ask me!

What's a phasey anyway?

There's something I noticed.

Their movements are too simple.

It's like they're on autopilot.

They're not phaseys, they're phantoms!

They're just puppets who take orders from the main body.

So only one is real?

No wonder I couldn't cut them down.

Phantoms can only move according to their orders.

And those orders are probably...

"Attack from behind,"

and "halt your movements when directly facing a sword wielder."

So, in other words!

Don't show them your back even if you're surrounded.

Hey, why are you at my six, huh?

Right back at ya.

We'll reveal the main body. Jump!

Don't order me around!

Fleeting Reflection!

There it is!

This time, I'll show you who's stronger.

Who cares? Let that stay uncertain.

Let's go in one go!

Zack!

Let's go in one go!

So this is Uron Mirage?

That's right, Moi!

It's super popular right now, and Kuku really likes it!

Yeah, but why is, "go in one go" the signature line?

I'm not really sure, but it's definitely going in one go!

Those vague and unknown things are what's making it great!

I don't get it at all.

DIARY OF MY FAVORITE ARTIST

My right hand has white for his coat, and orange for his hair.

My left hand has navy from his uniform, and of course red for his scarf.

My favorite character inspired nails from Uron Mirage.

Wait a second.

They're literally "in my hands." Utsuro is my right, and Oboro is my left!

I can do anything now.

It makes me want to pray.

Let's upload it to Chitter.

I think I might get a lot of likes from this.

DENGEKI MELON

There's been a lot of tardiness lately.

This time of year might have you feeling lazy, but please try to stay focused.

Okay, thank you.

Stand. Bow.

Nico, wanna get parfaits?

Yeah!

Yeah!

I don't remember inviting you guys!

And then after that, Oboro said that line!

"They told me to aim for the top, and that lit a fire in me!"

I thought the scene with Utsuro and Ms. Honoka was kinda cute.

When he said, "You're off your guard, Teach."

And then Sagiri's blah blah.

Well, Zack Balan blah blah.

Blah blah blah-blah, blah blahblah. And then, blah lah, blah. So funny!

Totally blah it. It's bleep-bloop blah blah. My favorite blerb bler blurh and blah blah!

Blah!

Blah!

Yuri Makuwa, Class 1-3's homeroom teacher, and Kuku aka Kukumi Ureshino,

are otaku friends who share a love of the currently airing shonen hit "Uron Mirage."

Yesterday, Haimi... er, you posted a wonderful illustration.

We got a side-eye glance! I was so excited I had to cover my mouth.

And this is only my assumption, but Oboro is slightly... smiling... right?

Haimi, isn't this your first time drawing Oboro's smile? It's the best thing ever!

And when this week's end card outed him as a dog person,

I would've understood if it was Utsuro, but Oboro?

My entire feed was buzzing with excitement.

I also love your color choices, too.

This analogous color scheme is really great. Oh...

I'm so sorry.

I shouldn't go on about my opinions in front of the actual person, huh?

No, it makes me happy.

I'm also very happy, too.

You have allowed me to befriend you when I worshipped you as a god.

Normally I would be prostrating before you while never making eye contact.

Aww, please get used to it, Ms. Makuwa.

Ureshino and I are the same otaku, but our stances are strikingly different.

My creed is that, "otaku shall forever hide in the shadows." However...

even though I became otaku friends with Ureshino,

I haven't revealed that my Chitter account name is Dengeki Melon.

I'm still way too embarrassed to expose my online self to her.

On the other hand, she's enjoying her hobby to the fullest out in the open.

Even though we're the same otaku, I can feel the generational gap between us.

We have a student-teacher relationship,

but she's also my dear friend and a godlike illustrator who draws fantastic art.

I don't want her to be put off by reactions that are ingrained in my head.

I really don't want my goddess to hate me.

I need to be careful.

Ms. Makuwa, I actually wanted to talk to you about something.

I draw illustrations and love it when people online look at it.

But lately, I've been feeling like that's not enough.

THEN WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT THING YESTERDAY?

U.M. has some pretty unique dialogue, right?

IT WAS LIKE A DARK HOT POT PARTY IN THE GROVE So I'll do my best when drawing, but it doesn't hold a candle to their one-liners.

All right.

Hold on a sec there, Haimi.

So one time, I added a speech bubble to one of my illustrations,

and filled it in with a phrase. YOU WOULDN'T LOSE TO A GUY LIKE THAT.

And then my heart couldn't stop racing.

Oh, no. Please, say no more.

If you say what I think you're going to say, I might faint.

And so... I thought that I'd like to try it, too.

It's a little embarrassing though.

Please! Don't go any further!

I started drawing manga.

W-Wow.

That's definitely a new challenge for you.

Holy fricking frick, man!

My fave fan artist is gonna start drawing manga!

Have I died and gone to heaven? Yay, yay!

O' God.

So, um... It's still a rough draft, but I brought it with me.

- My eyes! Oh, no! - Ms. Makuwa?

It's shining! Just like that time Michio Maga beheld Mr. Tezuka's manga draft!

It's my first time drawing manga,

but I was able to divide the page into panels like cutting cake.

Is she a genius?

But I can't tell if it's interesting or not.

Ms. Makuwa, you know more about manga than I do, so can you take a look?

Wow, wow! Haimi's unique touch that adds cuteness and sexiness to the page.

THANKS TO YOU, I LEARNED SOMEWHAT OF A NEW SKILL. THIS ISN'T MUCH, BUT TAKE IT. IT'S GOOD. THANKS.

The characters are moving! And talking!

THAT WAS JUST LUCK. IT'S NOT LIKE ANYONE WON. I THINK. TEEHEE.

Oh! This is...

pretty dang normal.

What? Have I lost my touch?

No, Haimi's distinct, translucent characteristics have died.

It's fine that the lack of information makes situations difficult to understand.

However, the panels are divided thinly,

and because the faces are the same size in every panel, it feels monotonous.

It's difficult to understand the characters' feelings, which is the most important thing.

Haimi can successfully capture emotions in her art.

She's already beginning to show that in her one page illustrations.

The case stems from Haimi not reading a lot of manga,

so she doesn't quite understand how to make them.

When it comes to creating worlds in the 2D medium,

readers are looking for, "the same character with mutual feelings for loving their world,"

and, "the coincidence of what I was feeling becomes visualized and verbalized in 2D."

With her extraordinary sense of interpretation and expressive prowess,

she was fulfilling that at a high level.

But in these small panels, those abilities aren't shining through.

If you were a veteran otaku woman, then you can grasp "something" from that outpour.

But these new fans heavily rely on impressions.

Can we expect newbie otaku who just became fans to comprehend that?

The answer is no!

Haimi has the talent, the originality, and a deep passion for the manga.

But the U.M. fandom is full of skilled creators at the height of their careers.

There aren't many fans with the time or patience to go hunting for hidden gems!

The current otaku are busy!

At this rate, this small bud that just came to life will get buried underneath.

If it's not as popular as her illustrations, she'll think, "Maybe drawing manga isn't for me,"

or, "A person like me should just stick with one page illustrations forever."

Those are the conclusions she might come to.

Therefore, the possibility of a number of divine works being created will be lost forever.

Am I supposed to let that happen?

Hey Dengeki Melon, are you just going to witness a giant raw gemstone being thrown away?

Could you do something so selfish? Well, Melon? What's it gonna be?

It was quite fantastic-melon.

Really? Wait, melon?

First, the expressions on the characters are great.

It really made me think how amazing manga is.

I do really like it when I can see my favorite character's face a lot.

I can't go on like this.

The story is really good, too.

They just passed by each other in front of a vending machine. How exciting.

Utsuro buying a ton of Yobick was quite endearing, too.

Yes, I knew you'd get it! I'm so happy!

And then this destructively excellent angle.

A composition where big innocent eyes are looking down on you, plus that backlight!

I have to applaud you for trying that idea with Utsuro of all people.

Of course, it's not terrible.

An ordinary person won't be able to draw this much.

However, if the goal is to convey Haimi's charms to a large audience,

then there are several points that need to be addressed.

But I wonder.

Instead of showing it to one amateur,

why don't you ask your online followers?

You have so many of them.

Oh, but...

I think it'll be embarrassing to upload such a rough draft to the internet.

That's not necessarily true.

I'm sure they'll celebrate you challenging yourself.

Okay. I guess I'll try uploading it tonight.

It'll probably be better to hear different opinions.

THIS IS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING, BUT I DREW A MANGA AND UPLOADED IT. IT'S JUST A ROUGH DRAFT. H-H-HOW IS IT?

Okay, there. Uploaded.

Ugh, I'm so embarrassed. What if no one responds to it?

Wait, did I just publish my fantasies to the entire world?

Isn't that the same as people seeing you naked?

I gotta delete that post!

What?

Someone already replied. So fast! Wait, this soon?

Dengeki Melon?

DENGEKI MELON

It's that passionate follower who always gives me likes.

Whoa, that's thick!

It's such a long reply! What? They really wrote a lot.

There're no line breaks, so what they wanted to say is laid on thick!

But they're very polite about it, and it doesn't make me feel uncomfortable at all.

Each of them are good constructive criticisms.

It has all the things I wanted to know.

How much manga do you have to read to get to this level?

Who is this Dengeki Melon person?

Goodness.

So this Dengeki Melon person really wrote that long of a reply, huh?

My otakuness was overflowing!

Ureshino, do you dislike it when someone gives their opinion like that?

Of course not.

"They told me to aim for the top, and that lit a fire in me!"

Dengeki Melon's writing had kindness to it, while still having a strict point of view.

They also encouraged me to aim for expressions that'll reach other people.

I came to understand that coming up with stories isn't my strong suit.

I plan to redraw it from scratch.

So I feel really appreciative.

You're Dengeki Melon, right?

What? H-How did you know?

I went to Dengeki Melon's account and saw their past comments and posts.

I got curious.

That's when I saw the picture of the Utsu x Obo nails.

You had the same nails yesterday, right?

Oh. My otakuness was leaking out.

"You're off your guard, Teach."

I don't think you have to hide it.

We're friends who've revealed everything to each other.

We shouldn't be embarrassed about anything.

Ureshino.

O' God.

Okay, thank you for taking care of the story part, Dengeki Melon.

Wait, what? I'm going to write the story?

I really loved that one short story you posted.

How far back did you go?

That's what I really like.

I like Ms. Makuwa. And I like Dengeki Melon.

I'm just a plain old otaku though.

There's a side of me who has fun creating things,

but that short story was just written on a whim.

But since you've already done it once, that means you have that passion.

That creative fire.

Oh, please don't say something so emotional yet perverse.

I will turn your fantasy into a manga!

SHOT TO THE HEART

Plus, we both interpret characters in the same way.

OH NO

All right, I'll try it.

Hurray! Thank you so much!

Let's celebrate the birth of a teacher-student manga duo!

We didn't get to do much!

When we complete this mission, then that secret will finally be revealed.

If that happens, then that one incident will definitely...

It's that, "You drop three ryou, pick up a sake bottle."

Next episode on Uron Mirage, "A Dark, Unknown Shadow Approaches."
