Jimbochoch, Chiyoda-ku.

In the office building of the Otte publishing house "Juxiansha".

Although I am the editor of the same publishing house, the environment is very different in different editorial offices.

For example, the shonen comic editorial department on the tenth floor is a busy scene.

Ever since the manga "Detective Konan" became an instant hit by AKBS Planning Studio, which was serialized in the weekly manga magazine "Shonen Run", the editors and assistants here have become busier and busier.

First of all, because of this incredibly popular manga, letters from readers in the editorial department are falling from the sky like snowflakes flying in the Hokkaido sky in winter, making forwarding, opening, reading, and replying to letters a daily lesson for the editorial assistants.

Secondly, the number of follow-up submissions imitating this comic has increased rapidly, and thematic works such as "Elementary School Detectives", "School Detective Group", and "Reasoning is Always After School" have been pouring in, making the review editors exhausted and overwhelmed. Even Miura was promoted from an editorial assistant to a junior review editor, which is evident from the lack of manpower.

However, just because he is busy, it is impossible to pull a random person to review the manuscript, and Miura's glorious promotion is mostly due to his editor Kazuhiko Torishima, which is absolutely inseparable from his usual rigorous training and the use of his hands to teach students according to their aptitude as the textbook-like standards of the manga "Detective Knan".

In stark contrast to the bustle of the shonen manga editorial team, the office area of the weekly magazine Culture Spring and Summer, located on the seventh floor, is much more deserted.

Originally, the slightly unpopular field of popular literature itself exudes a faint and quiet atmosphere. Editors spend most of their time working only with text, and only occasionally need to sift through illustrations and photos to decorate magazines, so most don't need to talk and interact with authors and readers like comic editors do. Interviews and meetings were held outside or in conference rooms, and the occasional phone call to the newsroom took little more than five minutes.

So there's a kind of relaxation and silence in the middle of nowhere.

It's just that the mood of the editorial assistant Masaji Miyone at the moment is extremely inconsistent with the environment around him. If Miura Chongde in the same period is "proud of the spring breeze" at the moment, then his situation can only be described as "cold and frozen".

As for the reason, isn't it because of the press conference he messed up at the Imperial Hotel before?

He always remembered what it was like that day. Originally, he was instructed by Ryiichiro Imamura, deputy editor-in-chief of the literary editorial department, to challenge the organizers' "Nishino Studio" and "AKBS Planning Studio" at the press conference that began the national roadshow of "Tokyo Girls' Holy War" and "Voice of the Far Star", and then rely on the photographic evidence obtained from the "black market" to bring a wave of rhythm. But clinker he "flinched" in the battle, not only failed to complete this task, but messed up Imamura's action of forcibly coming forward to present evidence, resulting in the fierce material of "pillow business" finally turned into a speculation chasing after the wind and shadows, not to mention smashing the field, it was simply a lot of "IQ tax"!

The ending was not entirely unsatisfactory: Deputy editor-in-chief Ryiichiro Imamura directly lost his job title and job because he was found to have some economic problems of "pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud"; while he Miyone Masaji became a "tainted witness" because he was able to "learn from the lost" and "abandon the darkness and turn to the light".

Although it seems that Miyone has nothing to lose, and there will be no retaliation from his boss to give him "small shoes", the "betrayal of the leader" makes the colleagues around him "stay away" from him, and deliberately maintains a self-evident and distressing distance.

This made Massashi Miyane's chest like a lump of cotton, and he even felt depressed and suffocated at times.

At the same time, Miura continued to rise, and his performance became more and more prosperous, but he seemed to be slowly sinking in a cold backwater, and he could not see a trace of a slight wave.

In contrast, this is simply two heavens of ice and fire!

It is impossible for Miyone to be without troubles about this situation, but in addition to the troubles, there are some unknown sweet feelings for him, like a small flame warming his cold heart in this cold workplace.

It all came down to a casual glance at the girl idol group "AKBS48" at the venue at the time that took away his soul.

With the peculiar nature of his work and the resources available to him, he naturally easily investigated all kinds of information about that person - he admitted that he had a feeling of "love at first sight" unilaterally!

That's right! It's that girl idol with apricot eyes and a smile - Watanabe Yoitomo!

If she hadn't looked at herself on the stage at that critical moment, he Miyane Massaji would not have made up his mind to completely disobey his boss's orders and choose to hold on to his discipline at that important juncture!

But was he captured by "another force"? He couldn't figure it out when he thought about it.

All he knew was that it wasn't just to relieve the pressure from the workplace, there was an inner force that drove him to go crazy outside of work to collect photos, reports, news and traces of Watanabe and even one of the walls of his apartment was plastered with all the information about Watanabe!

She was a still from the movie "Tokyo Jihadist Girls", an interview she gave in a fashion magazine, a photo page from her in a youth manga magazine, and a promotional poster from her game "DOA......

Only when he leaned on the head of his bed and looked at the innocent face of Youyou on the wall could he feel a moment of peace in his heart.

The pointer on the wall was about to point to half past eleven, and it was almost time for lunch.

At times like these, he feels at ease in being able to leave the office that squeezes him down and get outside for some fresh air.

Just then, he saw the glass door at the entrance to the office revealing the head of a young man, looking in his direction.

Hi, it turned out to be my own contemporaneous Miura Miura!

His exaggerated mouth gestures are clearly to let himself go out and join him.

Massaji Miyone looked around, stretched his neck and observed the situation of his colleagues, and immediately resumed their work, either with their eyes on the computer screen, or with their necks bent to read the manuscript in their hands......

For this kind of cold-eyed surveillance with no malicious intent but no bad intentions, Miyone snorted disdainfully, quickly stood up while locking the computer screen, and strode towards the office door.

In addition to Miura Mitsutoku, there is another young man at the door of the office!

It turned out that he was a visitor who had just finished the interview with Miura, and seeing that the meeting was over and it was close to dinner, he asked him to go to lunch with him. When he learned that Miura had a year in the literary editorial department, he asked him to introduce him through the dinner.

After briefly introducing themselves to each other, Miyane and the young man learned that he was a signed manga artist under Miura, named "Aoyama Minomasa", from "AKBS Planning Studio"!

Under the roof of the same publishing house, he heard that his masterpiece "Detective Kenan" was selling well......

Wait a minute!

Isn't he also affiliated with that "AKBS Planning Studio"?!

Doesn't that mean it's possible for him to know Watanabe Yotomo?!
