09. Why is snow white
"And these are your novels?"
"That's right, it's a pity that I can't bring all the grace to you mortals, after all, if you look at too many of those texts in your mortal body, you may be destroyed, thank me for my mercy! Worship me! Believe in me......"
It's not all of it~ It's really grateful~
Long Er looked at the two paper bags carried by the black cat, all full of A4 printer paper. There are also bulging works stuffed in black cat backpacks. According to Kirino said, part of it is the setting, so the setting that didn't take all of it really shows your kindness, black cat. Avoid editors who will die of exhaustion when they see your work.
Long Er was glad in his heart for the editor he hadn't met yet, and when he saw the black cat and his gushing appearance, he hurriedly interrupted:
"Although I still want to listen to the teachings of the Dark Divine Fallen Tmall, but since we are meeting at the appointed time, it will be unseemly if we are late, so I suggest that we can still prepare to go up, what do you think of the black cat."
"Well~ That's right, then let's go."
As he spoke, the black cat walked away.
Although the word "departure" is used in the word, the editorial office is actually only a few dozen meters away from Long Er and the black cat. It is also the place where the black cat and the dragon agreed to meet, and after walking through these dozens of meters, they arrived at the business card editorial office displayed on the business card that Kirino obtained. But...... Looking at the black cat's staggering appearance with a [heavy object] in his hand and on his back, Long Er sighed in his heart and walked a few steps quickly. snatched the bag from the black cat's hand.
Boy! It really carries a lot of weight. How did she bring these here~
The dragon who felt the heavy hand couldn't help but admire the black cat.
"Ah...... Thank you. ”
The black cat pulled the hair from her ears a little embarrassed, as if she was a little embarrassed to thank you.
"It's okay, let's go."
"Oh...... Wait, there's this thing! Didn't you say I'll bring you a mask? So that I don't reveal your identity. ”
The black cat took out a round mask from his backpack and handed it to Long'er.
"This is ......"
"It's Zero"
The black cat looked strange, as if wondering why Long'er would ask such an idiotic question.
"Of course I knew it was Zero! This is the anime I created, can I not know?! The question is why Zero! It's not Ultraman! It's not a fox mask, it's not a monster mask, it's Zero's mask! ”
If it weren't for the fear that the black cat would judge him, Long Er would have felt the urge to smash the Zero mask on the black cat's hand to the ground.
"The Prince of Darkness is the only one I recognize, and it can be said that it is a great gift to lend you."
The black cat raised its head and looked very proud.
"Do I have any other choice now?"
Long Er shook his head, and reluctantly took the Zero mask from the black cat's hand.
"Oh~ This is some, I used the leftover convenience bag when I went to the supermarket today. Just dig two holes in the bag. ”
The black cat took out a large paper bag from its backpack. Motioned to the dragon to look at it.
"I suddenly feel like it's good to be zero."
Looking at the paper bag that the black cat took out, Long'er immediately put Zero's mask on his head.
"Well~ It's okay, it just so happens that I have to fill this bag with some ingredients when I go home...... I'm talking about dark energy replenishment. ”
The black cat carefully put away the paper bag containing the dark energy.
"Now that it's done, let's go."
After watching the black cat pack its things, Long Er greeted and prepared to leave.
"Wait!! Can you please do me a favor? ”
The black cat with his free hands pulled the corners of Long'er's clothes and said a little shyly.
The dragon, who was suddenly pulled by the black cat, turned his head to look at the black cat.
"What's the matter?"
"Taiwan...... Lines...... Can you say a few words? ”
The black cat didn't remember how many times it had been a little hot, but it looked at the tall figure in front of him. In particular, the original author and supervisor who created his favorite anime characters, the moment he put on the mask, he involuntarily tugged at the corners of his clothes and made his own request. Although the two didn't know each other before, they only knew that he was a boring sister.
"...... lines? Could it be...... zero? ”
Long Er tilted his head, gestured to the mask on his face, and asked the black cat.
"Well...... Kindness...... Isn't it okay? Or...... Or do you want me to call you...... Europe...... Ernie sauce, that's it?! ”
At the end of speaking, the black cat was already shocked, and took a few steps back one after another, looking at Long Er with [friendly] eyes.
"No, it won't!! I'm not a sister! ”
Long Er barely cared about the surprised eyes of the crowd around him, and yelled at the black cat.
"Wow~~~~~~~~~~~"
The black cat's expression at that time looked like this:
=_=
"That's it! Come on! Anyway, what lines do you want me to say! Let's get in quickly! ”
Unable to stand the black cat's contemptuous gaze and the casual gazes from the pedestrians around him, Long Er decided to make a quick decision.
"Oh~What line~~"
The black cat listened to Long'er's promise to say the lines, and just came over with confidence. However, when listening to Long'er's decision on which line to say, the black cat suddenly stopped and turned his back to Long'er, looked at the crossroads on the street with a reminiscence-like look, looked towards the somewhat gray sky, and said with a slightly open mouth and a self-scrutinizing tone:
"Lelouch do you know why the snow is white? Because it forgot its own color. ”
Obviously, what was in front of him was not the woman with green hair and white clothes, but a black cat wearing a gothic loli suit with a backpack on her back, and the combination of the backpack and the gothic suit was also a little funny, but when the black cat turned his head with his hands behind his back and looked at Long'er with a slightly desolate smile on his face, Long'er seemed to have crossed the dimension. Traveled to the edge of the cliffs, the upcoming Great War and the land of snowflakes falling from the sky.
It was this suddenness that made Long Er take off his helmet, and looked at the slightly weeping woman in front of him and said the sentence that had been echoing in his mind for a long time:
"C.C., although I don't know why the snow is white. However, I think the white snow is beautiful and I don't hate it. ”
At the entrance of the editorial office, the crowd came and went. There is no scene where this line is slightly similar at that time. But between the eyes of the two. The falling snowflakes are already visible, and the distance between the demon king and the witch has been further improved.
(At the time of writing, the song "Stories" was playing on my speakers, obviously at random, obviously in the middle of more than 300 or nearly 400 songs, and playing this song at this time made me almost think I was in the snow.) Of course, it's just some emotion, and it has nothing to do with the text. Let's continue reading the text! )
Unfortunately, when the snow eventually melts, although a glance of 10,000 years exists, time cannot be stopped. With the flow of time, the two still came out in this suddenness.
"Why did you take off your helmet~"
The black cat looked at the dragon in front of him with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"Uh...... Ah~ when. ”
was reminded by the black cat, only to know that he had inadvertently taken off his helmet, and in order to cover up his mistake, Long Er also immediately responded:
"What, C.C. When he said this, didn't Lelouch also wear a helmet~"
"But it's not like it!!"
I don't know why I'm angry, but the black cat clings to it.
"Uh...... Or, let's do it again. I'm definitely not going to take off my helmet this time. ”
It was also his own mistake, so Long Er still said softly to the black cat.
“…… Forget it, so be it. The artistic conception has been destroyed, what's the use of doing it again...... Though...... Although it just felt pretty good. ”
The black cat hurriedly walked past Long'er, and the last sentence was already invisible.
"Oh~ Let's go."
Looking at the back of the black cat in a hurry, Long Er reluctantly took on his helmet and followed the black cat's footsteps.
"Hello, we made an appointment with the editor at three o'clock in the afternoon, and we have something to find him. He should be in the editorial office now, can you help him come down and meet with us? ”
The two walked to the front desk, because the black cat didn't want to pay attention to the appearance of other people, so it was better for Long Er to come forward and negotiate with the front desk and service staff.
"Ah...... Ah~ yes, please...... May I ask this Zero ...... What do you call a gentleman? ”
The girl at the front desk looked at Long'er, as if she was frightened by Long'er's helmet, and she was a little speechless.
"Ah~ You just say, just make an appointment before."
Long Er looked at the black cat beside him with such a mask with some grievances, and said to the waiter at the front desk.
"Oh~ Okay! Right away! ”
The front desk began to dial their intercom phone, and finally it seemed that the editor had been contacted. After confirming this time, he took the dragon and the black cat to the side of the lounge.
"Wait a minute, the pudding editor will be here, please wait a moment."
"Pudding? Is it another name for boo its editor? Oh~ Well, thank you. ”
"And ......"
The waiter at the front desk seemed to have something to say.
"Any questions?" Long Er asked suspiciously.
"Yes...... Can you not use Geass for editors? The waiter said in a slurching voice.
"Forehead ......"
"What do you know, what a noble skill it is to die a chicken and duck, and what a glorious thing it is to be a soldier of the Black Prince, not to mention that the Black Prince is also a king of [king] first, so ......"
Long Er hurriedly covered the black cat's mouth, and said to the stiff-faced service staff with a sneer:
"Don't worry, you won't use it." ……
Despite some apprehension, the attendant returned to her job.
"Anyway...... Will the editor really come? You're the one who got in touch! You guy didn't say anything rude! ”
After calming down, the black cat said with some concern.
"I didn't even talk to the editor, how do I know?"
"Clams?? So who are you? ”
"I found an acquaintance and handed over a word."
Long Er shrugged and said indifferently.
Coincidentally, as soon as Long Er finished saying this, before the black cat could react, someone had already come to the lounge. Before the editor could see the face of the person who had been waiting for him for a long time, the editor preemptively said:
"Although I don't know what kind of relationship you have found, let the chief editor tell me to read your novels, but this will not give you extra points for your novels, but will make me read your novels with the strictest attitude!"
