Isshiki wants to join Lunya's fandom club with Shiyu.。
When Shota learned that Isshiki was Shiyu's assistant, he was already quite mentally prepared, but when Lun also informed Shota about it by email the next day, he still had mixed feelings in his heart.
"Do you want to say no to An Yun's seniors? If it's Shota's opinion, he'll definitely take it seriously. ”
"That's right." Shota smiled bitterly and looked at Yukino who was sitting on the sofa.
If he resolutely opposes it, Len will definitely refuse to let Isshiki enter the club because of Shota, even if Shiyu threatens with 'If Isshiki doesn't join, then I will quit' is the same result.
However, it will certainly be quite difficult to do so.
"Well,On the bright side,If Caiyu really joins, it's still very helpful for the club.。
"Huh? I don't know, so I don't make many reviews. But can you really control your emotions? ”
"No problem, we talked about it last time."
"Talked? How to talk about it? ”
"Well...... In short, it's a good deal. ”
Shota looked at him left and right, but Yukino just glanced at him and didn't say much.
"Anyway, I'm going to Hehe City today."
"To meet that ex-girlfriend of yours?"
"Well, her name is Yishi, Yishiyu."
After closing the library book in his hand, Yukino looked at Shota calmly, "I know, I'm just reminding you. ”
"Ah, I'm not an indiscriminate person, and if you keep saying that, it might be counterproductive."
"Well, it's true that you're not an indiscriminate person, but you're an impulsive person."
"Me? Impulsive? Shota, who was sitting on the other end of the sofa, pointed his finger at himself in surprise, "I think I'm a calm person." ”
"It turns out that your behavior during the signing meeting was calm?"
Yukino's look with a hint of sarcasm made Shota slightly embarrassed.
"Well, in fact, if it weren't for my behavior and Lunye's behavior, the situation inside would have been even more serious."
If Shota hadn't rushed in, there would have been more than one person who was beaten, and from this point of view, it was thanks to Shota, but Yukino wasn't talking about it.
"Huh? It's good if you're happy. ”
Without saying anything more, the sneering look on Shota's face said it all.
"And it's not like I'm going to see Caiyu, but she lives in Chiba, and you don't need to run to Hehe City to see her."
"Who is that going to see?"
"Machida-samachi, the editor in charge of me, said she had something serious to talk to me about."
"Miss Machida...... How big? Married? ”
“……”
Shota suddenly felt that Yukino seemed to be becoming more and more like Yui said, and she was simply a 'heavy girl'.
"Don't look at me like that, these things have to be figured out for you abusive gorilla. I don't want my sister to come to my door the next morning with a bunch of photos of you and other women at a love hotel. ”
As if hearing Shota's heart, Yukino said casually.
“…… Why do I feel like we've been getting more and more acquainted lately? ”
"It's normal for gorillas in heat to involuntarily misinterpret the normal behavior of all the opposite sex around them."
"Can't you stop using the word 'orangutan'?"
Shota's helpless complaint made Yukino suddenly fall silent, and after thinking for a while, she called tentatively.
"Baboon?"
This person definitely did it on purpose!
"You're not cute at all."
"That's definitely a problem with your eyes."
"Cute or something, it's definitely not just because you're cute on the outside, you're not cute at all in terms of personality."
"Oh, really?" Xue Nai, who didn't seem to be affected at all, said lightly: "It's good if you're happy." ”
I don't know how many times Shota and Yukino fought in a tongue war, and it ended in a fiasco with Shota, and there has never been another ending so far.
Wait, the word war of words seems to be easy to misunderstand?
……
……
The Jefferson Hotel in Hehe City, in a café in the lobby.
When Shota arrived, a 30-year-old Machida lady dressed in professional attire waved at Shota.
"I've been waiting, Machida-sama." Looking at the three empty plates in front of Miss Machida, Shota said apologetically.
"Hmm~ Well, I just didn't know what to do at home in the morning, so I came here in advance to pass the time."
Machida Enko, the editor of the editorial department of the Immortal River Fantasitic Library, is different from ordinary editors, she likes to wear a neat black suit, and her face is still delicate with light makeup, but the neat short hair makes Shota feel like a lot of pluses.
"Did something happen?"
It is Machida-sama's habit to like to think about it while eating a snack when she encounters something in trouble.
"It's about July-kun's debut work."
"Huh? Haven't they all been discussed before? ”
Shota's words made Machida feel a little embarrassed, after all, this was something that had been discussed by both parties, and now he raised an objection.
"That's right, but there's a better opportunity."
"Better?"
"Yes." Machida summoned the waiter to help Shota order a cup of coffee, "Do you remember our main evaluation of your work?" ”
"Well, slow heat."
"That's right, it's slow heat. Although if you look at it according to the outline and your writing, when the plot develops to the middle and late stages, it must be quite brilliant, but the slow pace and slightly bland plot in the early stage make it easy for readers to give up directly, after all, you are a rookie writer. ”
"Uh, sorry, wait a minute, hasn't this already been discussed?" Shota interrupted Machida's words in surprise, "Didn't you say it before, in such a situation, you can refer to Kasumi Shiko-sensei, right?" ”
"Well, the editorial department has re-estimated the risk and thinks ...... Hey, I can't make it up. Under Shota's skeptical gaze, Machida sighed helplessly, to be honest, Machida was angry with the irresponsible boss who handed over this task to him.
"I'll tell you the truth, there's a club that wants you to write a script for a galgame."
"Me? Am I a complete newcomer? ”
"Yes, and it was the other party who directly indicated the request. Because of the other party's background, and it doesn't hurt you to do so, the company hopes that I can convince you. ”
Machida's statement made Shota even more hesitant, how could it be possible for a complete newcomer to write the script with a background that the Immortal River Fantasitic Library had to pay attention to?
However, if it's really a strong club.,And the galgame produced is also passable.,Shota will indeed get a lot of fame because of it.,But it's too strange.。
Now even a fool wouldn't believe pie in the sky.
Looking at Shota's suspicious expression, Machida also sighed again depressedly.
"Even I don't know the details, but the other party said that I would like to discuss it with you in person. By the way, the person the other party is looking for for for the first time is not you, but Kasumi Shiko. ”
"Huh? Kasumi Shiko? ”
Suddenly, Shota remembered what Shiyu said when he went to invite Shiyu with Yukino that day.
"But whether it's me or Teacher Xia Shizi, we're both newcomers."
"I think so too, but the other party seems to be very optimistic about your talent, and has made a request to meet you, whether you agree or not."
After tugging at the corners of his mouth, Shota continued, "I'm so panicked about what you said...... Machida-samachi, can you give me some advice? ”
"Hmm......" Machida muttered in a low voice for a while, then began to look Shota up and down as he said, "I think ...... Whether you refuse or agree, it's okay to take the time to meet, after all, you are a boy, and there should be fewer people who are interested in your body. ”
“…… No, no! I can't be bent, and I don't want to be! ”
"Huh? Why do you think the other person is a man at first? ”
Under Machida's playful gaze, Shota was speechless.
In the end, Shota decided to find a time to meet with the other party as soon as possible, after all, there was no need to drag on such a thing, and he would definitely refuse.
What made Shota more and more speechless was that after Machida called the unknown person in charge of the club, the other party actually offered to come to Shota's place now if he was free.
"The other party really values you, July-kun."
"The more I value it, the more uneasy I feel."
Shota has always been very confident in his own strength, but he is still a complete newcomer in this industry, and he has no experience at all, and he will definitely not be able to receive such attention under normal circumstances.
However, when he saw the person in front of him, Shota suddenly understood everything.
"Long time no see, Shota."
