Higashino saw that Konoe Ryoka's mood had stabilized, so he told her a few words.

Most of the content is to ask her to buy some swelling medicine, so as not to be red and swollen until tomorrow.

Konoe Lianghua nodded slightly, and opened her mouth before leaving: "Goodbye... Higashino-san. ”

The other party's awkward personality was inexplicably stuck halfway through this, and Higashino Tsukasa was used to it, he waved his hand: "Well, see you tomorrow... But Konoe-san..."

"Huh?" Ryoka Konoe raised her head.

"You look really beautiful, and your bangs can actually be left a little shorter, and you can cover your eyebrows a little." Tsukasa Higashino smiled and gave his advice.

"Really?" Konoe Ryoka's face turned slightly red when she heard this, and the fingers of her right hand unconsciously curled the sideburns in her ears, and replied hesitantly: "I, I'll try..."

She bowed to Higashino again before leaving.

Seeing that the other party completely disappeared into the park, Higashino took out his phone and glanced at the time on it.

He didn't delay for long, and it was only a little past five o'clock, so he had time to go to the Uradao Publishing House.

Tsukasa Higashino pulled back his shoulder bag and checked the original manuscript of "The Lonely Foodie" inside.

Fortunately, the originals were well stored and there were no traces of messing.

Tsukasa Higashino relieved himself and trotted in the direction of the station.

Changing trains and changing stations, Tsukasa Higashino soon traveled to Chiyoda Ward and headed for Urashima Publishing House.

"Little brother Higashino, are you here to hand in the manuscript again?" Miss Uzaki, who was in charge of the reception, greeted Higashino quite warmly as soon as she saw him.

"I just handed in the manuscript by the way, mainly to see Sister Uzaki." Higashino replied with a smile, and then asked, "Then I'll just go up like this, it should be fine, right?" ”

Miss Uzaki was coaxed by Tsukasa Higashino to laugh happily and waved her hand: "Go up, you are all acquaintances, you don't need to register as a tourist." ”

Higashino thanked him, and then got on the elevator.

It's still a familiar editorial department, the only difference is that there is a beautiful poster of "Midnight Bell" on the comic wall, and the words "Higashino-sensei's work "Midnight Bell" are being serialized on it.

This colorful poster was painted by Tsukasa Higashino in the spare time, and will be used in the single book after "Midnight Bell", which can be regarded as a small benefit for readers who buy a single book.

The Sadako on it is not only not terrifying, but also reveals a Q version of the appearance of a rough hand and a big head, she climbed out of the TV, and opened her mouth wide in front of the TV, looking cute with teeth and claws.

"It feels pretty good." Tsukasa Higashino nodded with satisfaction, admired his work twice, and then hurried into the editorial office of "Bad Cold".

.......

Hosokawa Koharu himself doesn't know how he spent the last half month.

While waiting for news from Tsukasa Higashino with great anticipation, he was worried that the content drawn by Tsukasa Higashino was not interesting enough and would be denied by Urashima and other editors.

This is a very complicated mood, so even if she has a new one, "Midnight Bell" has always been the first in the reader's praise rate, but it can't calm this worried and expectant mood.

And as time passed, the confidence of 'doing the best in Japan' that I had at the beginning with Tsukasa Higashino has gradually been worn away.

It's like a secondary two disease, I thought it was handsome at first, but later I felt that my behavior was too second, and I couldn't stand it.

And the main thing is that there is really no news from Tsukasa Higashino.

"What the hell is going to happen? Will Higashino-sensei really not be able to come up with good works...? Hosokawa muttered worriedly, biting his thumb.

In fact, Tsukasa Higashino is already very powerful, "Midnight Bell" has been the first stable reader's praise rate, and the number of follow-up readers is getting higher and higher...

Ask him to create a brand new comic... Isn't it a little difficult for him?

Hosokawa Koharu took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

Higashino hasn't heard from him, so I'll ask him myself.

Don't be emotional, be steady, if Higashino Tsukasa can't get results, but also fulfill the responsibility of the editor to comfort the other party, it's a big deal not to want the frontispiece of "Aoba", as long as Higashino Tsukasa can stabilize his mentality...

Hosokawa Koharu thought a lot, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he directly dialed the phone number of Tsukasa Higashino.

After the phone called, Hosokawa Koharu directly identified his identity: "Hey? Is it Higashino-sensei? I'm Hosokawa. ”

"It's me..."Tsukasa Higashino's tone on the other side of the phone was a little subtle: "Why did you call me at this time?" Hosokawa editor? ”

He was already outside the editorial department, and he was just about to push the door in, when he received a call from Hosokawa Koharu, he naturally felt a little weird.

Isn't this a good timing?

But the weirdness in his voice, Hosokawa Koharu didn't sound like that.

She felt that it was about half a month since Higashino Tsukasa didn't come up with any results, so she was inexplicably weak when she received her call.

Thinking of this, Hosokawa Koharu finally couldn't help but open his mouth to convince him:

"Mr. Higashino, in fact, even if you don't come up with results, you don't have to be ashamed."

Hosokawa Koharu comforted Tsukasa Higashino: "Actually, even if you can't get on the frontispiece this time, it doesn't matter, the results of "Midnight Bell" are enough to shut up anyone, it's a big deal that we will next time..."

"Wait a minute, Editor Hosokawa." Higashino Tsukasa listened with a puzzled face: "Why can't I get results?" ”

Why did Hosokawa Koharu suddenly start pouring him chicken soup?

"Huh?" Hearing Tsukasa Higashino's question, Hosokawa Koharu, who had already prepared a large vat of chicken soup for the soul, was stunned, and she argued loudly: "Because Mr. Higashino... Something wasn't quite right when you answered the phone... I thought you were weak-hearted..."

"The sound of answering the phone...? Oh, you mean that. Tsukasa Higashino suddenly said: "I just walked to the entrance of the editorial department, and then you called me, I think the timing is a bit coincidental, so the voice is a little strange." ”

"You're already at the door?" Koharu Hosokawa stood up with the microphone and looked towards the door.

Really, Tsukasa Higashino was standing by the editorial department at this time, and he was smiling helplessly outside the glass door.

Hosokawa Koharu blushed, knowing that he would be mistaken, so he hurriedly hung up the phone, came to the outside of the editorial department, and said hello to Tsukasa Higashino.

She then led Tsukasa Higashino into a discussion room dedicated to editors and authors.

"I'm here to deliver the original manuscript of the manga serialized in the monthly magazine Aoba."

Tsukasa Higashino quickly forgot about the previous oolong incident and entered the working state.

As he spoke, he took out the original manuscript of "The Lonely Gourmet" and handed it to Hosokawa Koharu: "Please take a look at the editor Hosokawa." ”

Belch...

This action that went straight to the point made Hosokawa Koharu, who was originally worried about whether Higashino Tsukasa would be able to deliver the manuscript, was stunned.

Was it really tinkered with by Tsukasa Higashino? New food comics?

I don't know how the quality is...

A good food comic is supposed to give the reader a sense of appetite for something to eat...

I don't know if Tsukasa Higashino can do it.

Hosokawa Koharu shifted his gaze and looked at Tsukasa Higashino's new work this time-

The title above is simple:

"The Lonely Gourmet".
