Kakushigoto (かくしごと)

This house that has the exact same layout as our house in Nakameguro

had even more boxes.

"18 years old"

"18 years old" The boxes from Nakameguro...

"13 years old" The boxes from Nakameguro...

The boxes from Nakameguro...

They were boxes that my mother had left me.

The boxes had ages written on them

and inside, there were various things that I'd probably need around that age.

Of course, since these boxes were filled years before,

"Because I'm Wild" Of course, since these boxes were filled years before,

"Because I'm Wild" they didn't match what was in anymore and were a bit confusing.

they didn't match what was in anymore and were a bit confusing.

But it was exactly those things that made me feel my mother's presence

and made them even more precious to me.

To think that there were even more boxes here...

"This card can be used at any Isekaido" "Name: Kazushi Goto"

"This card can be used at any Isekaido" "Name: Kazushi Goto" Kazushi Goto...?

Kazushi Goto...?

Is your real name Kazushi?

So I guess Kakushi was a pen name.

It's actually the opposite.

My real name is Kakushi Goto and Kazushi Goto is what I publicly go by.

Why would you...?

Because I debuted using my real name without thinking about it.

And because it's an unusual name...

Kakushi Goto-san...

Are you a manga artist?

What if Hime ever found out?!

"Kazushi Goto"

"Kazushi Goto" So for cards that don't matter, I make sure to write Kazushi Goto.

"Kazushi Goto" I see.

"Normale Namae"

You guys should think of pen names before you debut.

Wait... do you already have one?

Well, yeah...

You haven't even debuted yet! How dare you?!

You are the same person who just told us to think of one, aren't you?!

So, what is it?

I'm not telling you.

Aw, come on! Tell me!

I absolutely will not!

-Just tell m--

--I absolutely will not. --Just tell m--

-I absolutely will not.

Never dig too deep about an assistant's pen name.

What are you doing, Hime?

"Hime Goto"

D-Do you not like your name?!

That's not true.

I love it.

Everyone always tells me how much they like my name.

Then what's that?

"Easy to Understand Onomancy by the Mother of Nakameguro"

"Easy to Understand Onomancy by the Mother of Nakameguro" It's a book on onomancy.

"Easy to Understand Onomancy by the Mother of Nakameguro" Fortunetelling using names.

"Easy to Understand Onomancy by the Mother of Nakameguro" It's really popular in my class right now.

"Easy to Understand Onomancy by the Mother of Nakameguro"

The number of brush strokes in our name isn't that lucky...

Not that I can do much about that.

Then maybe I'll have my name looked at, too.

I already did.

Your overall luck was five stars.

"Overall luck" Your overall luck was five stars.

"Overall luck" Your wealth luck was five stars.

"Wealth luck" "Overall luck" Your wealth luck was five stars.

"Wealth luck" "Overall luck" Your love luck was five stars.

"Love luck" "Wealth luck" "Overall luck" Your love luck was five stars.

"Love luck" "Wealth luck" "Overall luck" Your work luck was five stars.

"Love luck" "Wealth luck" "Work luck" Your work luck was five stars.

"Love luck" "Wealth luck" You basically have the best number of brush strokes in your name as possible.

I see!

But...

"Jobs to avoid" "composer" "manga artist" "painter" But...

"Jobs to avoid" "composer" "manga artist" "painter" ...apparently artistic jobs just aren't your thing.

...apparently artistic jobs just aren't your thing.

But that's okay because you're a salaryman, Daddy.

Right...

"Kazushi Goto" Right...

"Kazushi Goto" So this is the name of one of my friends, but...

So this is the name of one of my friends, but...

Kazushi Goto...

All alone...

What's it say?

They don't have much going for them, so be nice to them, okay?

They're really unfortunate.

S-So that's how it is...

"Kazushi Goto" "Luck diagram" S-So that's how it is...

I really love Hime-chan's name, too.

It's a great name and easy to read.

Huh?

Lately, kids' names can be really hard to read.

You mean eccentric names?

"Ace" "Relax" "Sapphire" "Silver" "Saint" "Heart"

"Ace" "Relax" "Sapphire" "Silver" "Saint" "Heart" If I were to ever get their names wrong,

"Ace" "Relax" "Sapphire" "Silver" "Saint" "Heart" I'd get a call from their angry guardians.

"Ace" "Relax" "Sapphire" "Silver" "Saint" "Heart" I guess that's pretty common for teachers.

Also, there are a lot of kids named after anime and manga characters lately.

Oh?

But at least with your manga, none of your characters' names

"Tights" would be used as kids' names.

"Garta" "Tights" would be used as kids' names.

"StocKing" "Garta" "Tights" Thank goodness.

"StocKing" "Garta" "Tights" Right...

Oh, I'm sorry...

It's fine.

You're exactly right.

I told you not to go over there, Atom!

I wonder what it feels like having someone name their kid after your characters...

I'm sure that'll never happen to me...

Tights! I told you not to go over there!

Someone actually used that name!

There, there. That's a good boy, Tights.

That's a rather unusual name.

Well, it looks like he's wearing tights, right?

How... cute.

Hime-sama.

What are you doing?

Fortunetelling.

"How's your luck?" "Astrology" Fortunetelling.

"How's your luck?" "Astrology" Do you have fortunetelling in your home country, Nadila-san?

Yes. Shall I tell you your fortune?

Yeah! What's it like?

Then I'll pray to the spirits to get your fortune.

Mm...

What's the matter? You sound like a cow.

Well...

I debuted with my real name, so life's been a bit rough.

Ah.

Then why don't you start using a pen name starting now?

"Plop"

"Saw the light"

Of course!

Want to think of one together?

Sure!

"Yamikishi07@3rd"

"Weekly Shonen Mangazine Editor-in-Chief" "Rikiro Daiwa"

"Weekly Shonen Mangazine Editor-in-Chief" "Rikiro Daiwa" What's this supposed to be?

"Weekly Shonen Mangazine Editor-in-Chief" "Rikiro Daiwa" Goto-sensei's pen name.

Goto-sensei's pen name.

He's going to start using that next week.

"Slap" "Yamikishi07@3rd" How stupid are you?!

"Yamikishi07@3rd" How stupid are you?!

How stupid are you?!

You mean he can't? But I helped him come up with it.

Of course, he can't! Maybe if he was a writer that hadn't debuted yet...

"Associate Editor" "Risa Uchiki"

"Associate Editor" "Risa Uchiki" An author's name is basically their brand.

"Associate Editor" "Risa Uchiki" It's basically a trademark and if it gets changed suddenly,

"Associate Editor" "Risa Uchiki" the audience won't know who they are.

Exactly.

Okay, I'll tell him he can't change it.

Uh, hang on a second.

Did he seem pretty determined about this?

Yes.

He said, "Life's a bit rough with my current name."

"Murmur Murmur"

"Murmur Murmur" What's wrong?

"Murmur Murmur" Do you think it's actually...?

"Murmur Murmur" Yeah.

Did you happen to see a shady-looking fortuneteller hanging around Goto-sensei?

Huh? Why do you ask?

Whenever a writer wants to suddenly change their name

there are a lot of cases where they're being manipulated by people like that.

I can't say I've ever seen a fortuneteller at his office.

Maybe there's one at his house.

What's this smoke?

Don't tell me...

Are you all right?!

"Rupatumtum" "Rupatumtum" Are you all right?!

"Rupatumtum" "Rupatumtum"

Th-- There totally is one!

What exactly are you doing?

Fortunetelling!

I knew it!

Huh?

A spirit?

Nadila-san!

So you've come, spirit...

Sh-She's totally my type!

Huh? This spirit looks like

"See anime episode 1" Huh? This spirit looks like

"See anime episode 1" the CEO that came to our house before.

CEO?

Do you want me to tell you your fortune, too, CEO?

CEO?

That must be my real name...

"CEO" CEO...

"Weekly Shonen Mangazine" CEO...

"Weekly Shonen Mangazine" This is rather worrying.

"Weekly Shonen Mangazine" Yes.

Yes.

There are plenty of manga artists that lost their marbles after

devoting themselves to some weird psychic or fortuneteller.

"New name" "Taro Reishiki 1/6" devoting themselves to some weird psychic or fortuneteller.

"New name" "Taro Reishiki 1/6" It begins with a sudden new name,

"*Definitely not 'Conan'" It begins with a sudden new name,

"*Definitely not 'Conan'" then they'll have a lot more dialogue,

start thinning out their ink with hydrogen water,

and in the end, some end up believing they are god
