Chiaki smiled, a little charmingly, and looked at Harusa with soft eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Then what kind of heroine expression do you think I'm suitable for?"

Of course, it is the expression of the heroine of the happiness drama. ”

"Is there such a TV series?"

"Of course, there are, comedies, comedies, comedies, inspirational dramas...... In short, the TV series in which the characters are happy and laughing is a happiness drama, which is much more than a tragic drama. ”

"That sounds like that. ”

The two chatted casually.

The girl quietly approached the boy and leaned lightly against him.

"What's wrong?"

"I feel a little cold. ”

"Then let's go inside. ”

"I don't want to go into the house yet. ”

“…………”

"Is it okay to warm me with your body?" Chiaki said with a smile, unfolding the blanket.

Her expression at this time was touching and charming, and with the words, Harusa felt itchy in her heart.

He acquiesced wordlessly, letting the blanket drape over himself and wrap it with her.

Chiaki clasped his left arm with her right hand and pressed it tightly against him.

"It's not cold. ”

Her body was warm, her heart was warm, and she was immersed in a sense of security.

"Harusa...... Can I rely on you all the time?"

"Huh?"

"You just said that as long as it is not unreasonable, you will cooperate with me...... Can it go on like this?"

"Of course. ”

"Really? I'm annoying. ”

"As I said just now, if you feel unreasonable, I will complain and sanction you. ”

"Then it's agreed! I'll always rely on you, but you can't get rid of me. ”

"Well, no, you're my important friend. ”

Is it just a "friend"......

The corners of Chiaki's mouth twitched in a subtle arc, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

I don't want to be like that, stupid Harusa.

……

Dawn.

After breakfast, Chiaki said goodbye and left.

She had a pleasant smile on her face when she went out...... I don't have to worry about it.

Mika asks about Chiaki's situation, and Harusa explains, and she gives a look of sentimentality after hearing this.

"Why did Chiaki's father ...... What about Chiaki?"

Harusa was silent.

Judging by what he did, it was indeed an incompetent father.

For the sake of Chiaki, should we take action and try to talk to Mr. Wakaba?

He wasn't sure.

Chiaki didn't mean to let him interfere, and if he had to force it, it would be difficult to predict what the outcome would be, and it might be self-defeating.

Let's pay attention to Mr. Wakaba's information first, and learn more about it to understand what to do.

"Mika, how much do you know about Chiaki's father?"

"His name is Mahiro Wakaba, and he is a famous painter......"

Meijia said something. Basically, when she first learned Chiaki's father's name, she searched for information on the Internet out of curiosity.

Harusa listened silently.

"Harusa, are you going to do something?"

"Not ...... for the time being"

He said what he thought. Meijia nodded in understanding, and then said no more.

On the other side, Ling Yang happily played a new game.

After watching for a while, Harusa remembered that he had something to do, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.

Connected.

"Good morning, Editor Yoshizawa. ”

"Good morning, wilderness. ”

"How is the Winter Snow Festival going?" he asked casually.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

“…… Same as usual. The female editor said lightly.

There seemed to be something buried beneath the calm words.

Did Editor Yoshizawa encounter anything yesterday? Haruji was curious.

He wanted to ask, but reason told him it was best not to do it, or he might step on a mine.

"Uh...... It's good to live like usual. ”

"Yes, I work as usual, work overtime as usual, take the bus home as usual, eat convenience store bento and watch TV as usual...... Pretty good. ”

Harusa: "............"

Hearing the other party say this calmly and indifferently, he felt as if he had glimpsed the darkness hidden deep beneath the surface, so much so that he didn't know how to react for a moment.

A moment of silence.

"What's the matter, Wilderness?" the other side of the phone motioned to get down to business.

"Uh...... It's like this......"

Harusa organizes the language, explains the situation, and expresses his desire to draw illustrations for "Brother Story".

Saki was silent.

"Isn't that too unreasonable?" Haruji asked, trying to ask.

"It's a bit of a hassle because the artist has already been commissioned, and the other party is expediting the painting. At this time, it would be very rude to say that you would not use other people's paintings. Sahi explained.

"Normally, this kind of request will not be accepted, but you don't want to change to another artist, but you want to paint yourself, this ...... I think it's okay to consider. ”

"No one understands the work better than the author. If the author himself draws illustrations for his own novels, he can better express the charm of the novel, but of course, the quality of the drawings must be high enough. ”

"I'm going to see what you've painted with my own eyes, and if I think you're good enough, I'll take you to the artist who took the commission and talk to him. If I don't think you're good at drawing, then ......"

"Then I didn't say it. Harusa said.

"Hmm...... Is that okay?"

"Yes, I accept. Thank you for thinking about me, ed. ”

"You're welcome. Are you free right now?"

"Available. ”

"Then bring the painting to the editorial office and let me take a look. ”

"Okay, I'll be over soon. ”

End of call.

Harusa said something to Mika, then stood up and knocked on the door of Xiao Shi's room.

After getting the painting from his sister-in-law, he dressed neatly and went out.

……

Take a taxi to the front of the building where the editorial office of Thunder Library is located.

Harusa walked into the lobby on the first floor, explained the situation to the front desk receptionist, filled out a simple visitor card, and was placed in the No. 3 reception room.

The reception room, on the left side of the hall, is a small room separated by opaque glass partitions.

Harusa feels very similar to the picture he saw in the O Eater in his previous life, and he can't help but think of the plot where the two protagonists first showed the original manga manuscript to the editor, as if they were arranged in the compartment...... It's number 3!

It's such an interesting coincidence.

As Harusa passed by reception rooms No. 1 and No. 2, he faintly heard voices talking inside.

It seems that the editor is criticizing the content of the manuscript, and the criticism is quite harsh.

I remember that the two protagonists of the O eater were also, and when they showed the original manuscript to the editor for the first time, they felt like prisoners on trial, and they were so nervous that they were to death.

"'Tea is considered qualified'...... Seems to say that, right?" Haruji reminisced as he walked into reception room No. 3.

His novel is already set to be published. Compared with the two protagonists at that time, and the two authors who are next door now, their hearts are stable.

"Come on, you two. ”

Haruji silently cheered for the two colleagues next door.

After a while, the editor Yoshizawa came.

"Just now, I contacted the artist 'Ghost Soldier Sharp' and asked him to send the illustration that he had already drawn and print it out. ”

The female editor walked into the reception room and placed a drawing on the table.
