After discussing the matter of the same people with his assistants, Qin Han raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Okay, it's not early, I won't leave anyone." Fujisawa and Saeki are going to work, and Moeka and Okada have to go home early. It gets dark early in winter, so you two need to be safe. ”

"Got it, Teacher Qin Han. Jingjia Mengxiang muttered in a low voice, "It's not my brother-in-law, why do you look like you're a member of the family." ”

The little girl didn't know that although her voice was small, she still heard it clearly with Qin Han's perception.

"Am I really like the kind of guy who has a beautiful girl around me and wants to be in his pocket...... Well, it's kind of like that. After complaining to himself in his heart, Qin Han sent the assistants away.

Just after closing the door, he received a call from Yuo Kojima.

"Teacher Qin Han, are you free now? I hope to get the original manuscript of the first episode of "Pretty Girl of Light HC" as soon as possible. ”

Today is December 7th, and it is less than two weeks away from the scheduled serialization date of "Pretty Girl of Light HC" on "Flowers and Dreams".

Counting the time required for proofreading, typesetting, printing, etc., the time left for the production of the second half of the monthly magazine "Flowers and Dreams" is not tight, but it is by no means sufficient. It is necessary to follow the steps one by one to complete the work in order to ensure the smooth launch of the magazine.

"Didn't you say you'd pick it up tomorrow?" Qin Han asked.

Kojima Yuo on the other side of the phone smiled bitterly: "There is a change in the work arrangement, and I have to work overtime tonight, so I ......"

Qin Han also knew that the editors of these magazines worked hard, and there were always various changes in things when they were busy.

"I see, you can pick it up at any time. ”

Receiving this affirmative answer, Kojima almost cheered.

The first serialization of "The Beautiful Girl of Light HC" has two words and forty pages of content. This is also the usual treatment of a well-known cartoonist like Qin Han when he opens a new serial.

Although forty pages is nothing for Qin and Han, for many cartoonists, it is a lot of work.

Moreover, Qin Han also went to Las Vegas, and he had less time to draw comics.

Among the cartoonists that Yuo Kojima was in charge of before, he couldn't get the original manuscript alive or dead when it came to the deadline, and he kept delaying, and he was not happy when he was urged. If you suddenly encounter such a request for early delivery, it may explode in an instant.

But Qin Han readily agreed to his request without the slightest complaint, which was in stark contrast to the many bad experiences before.

This made Yuo Kojima sigh with emotion: "I have heard it a long time ago, after becoming the editor in charge of Mr. Qin Han, I will no longer worry about the delivery of the manuscript, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"

After confirming with Qin Han, Kojima Yuo set off from the editorial office and took the tram to Qin Han's house.

Because before, Qin Han took the original draft of the first episode of "Pretty Girl of Light HC" to the editor-in-chief of "Flowers and Dreams", Suzuki Hiroshi, so this time, Yuo Kojima only needs to review the content of the second episode.

After reading the manuscript three times, Yuo Kojima said: "No problem, Mr. Qin Han, your second sentence has maintained an extremely high level as always, and there is nothing that needs to be revised." So, I'll take the manuscript away, and if you have any questions, please give me a lot of advice. ”

Yuo Kojima returned to the editorial office with Qin Han's original manuscript.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already completely dark in winter in Tokyo.

Walking on the road, Yuo Kojima, who was cold and hungry, went to the convenience store to buy a bento, hastily settled dinner, returned to the editorial office, and continued to be busy.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the overtime ended. Yuo Kojima stretched his waist and moved his body, which was stiff from sitting for a long time.

"Go home. If "Pretty Girl of Light HC" is popular, maybe my prize money will be higher. This Christmas, I should be able to have a little luxury......"

Yuo Kojima packed up his things, and after leaving the editorial office, he received a call asking him to go to the friendship department.

"Hey, Kojima, are you free? We're socializing here, there's one more person on the girl's side, do you want to come over?"

It was his college classmate, Koji Muta, who called.

The relationship between the two is not very good, and Yuo Kojima doesn't like each other's character of bragging. It's just that because they are both editors of manga magazines - one in Hakusensha's "Flowers and Dreams", and the other in Kodansha's "Good Friends", both are shoujo manga magazines, so they also correspond from time to time.

Kojima was a little tired from working overtime and wanted to go home early to rest, but on second thought, he didn't have many opportunities to interact with women - except for his colleagues in the editorial department. If you join a social gathering, you might find a girlfriend and you won't have to spend Christmas alone.

So, Yuo Kojima agreed to Koji Muta's invitation.

After arriving at the private room of the hotel, Koji Muta immediately beckoned him to sit down: "Today, the five men on our side are all editors of the publishing house. The girls on the other side are all juniors at Ochanomizu Women's University. In order to reduce the single rate in the industry, I have been working for the benefit of everyone. ”

Although Koji Muta said it well, Yuo Kojima knew that his college classmate, who liked to play small calculations, was not so kind.

There are five men on the side, a thin monkey who is weak and can't help the wind, a fat man with three layers of swimming rings on his belly, and a bald man, a muscular man like himself, is not a very popular type in this era. Koji Muta, who is dressed fashionably and handsomely, is obviously the most competitive man in the friendship.

Kojima Yuo didn't say anything, said hello, introduced himself, and began to look at the girl's side.

One of them, a good-looking girl with long black hair, attracted his attention.

"Well, that's her. ”

Bonding between boys and girls is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun, and none of this matters. The key is that there is no favorite among the friendship objects.

Several men were interested in the black, straight, straight girl and kept taking the initiative to talk to her.

And this time, somewhat unexpectedly, Yuo Kojima found himself among the boys, and he was actually the most popular one.

"Is it so good luck that today's girls like muscular men?" said Kojima, a little smug in his heart.

He was in the limelight, and Koji Muta was unhappy in his heart.

Originally, he just asked Yuo Kojima to make up the numbers, but where did he think that the other party actually became the protagonist of the friendship.

"Hmph, when talking about work, I see what you compare ...... to me."

Thinking of this, he pretended to ask inadvertently: "By the way, Xiao Dao, I recently heard that you have become the editor in charge of that Qin Han......?"

Kojima Yuo saw the other party's fake attitude at a glance, and suddenly felt a little unhappy: "I don't know what is worthy of sympathy for being the editor in charge of Teacher Qin Han." ”
