Chapter 66: I have to think of a way
The next afternoon, Didan High School.
"Jingle bells."
The bell for the end of school echoed in the huge campus, and the end time of the entire high school was the last in Didan Academy, but even so, the sky was still bright.
If high school ends at night and a lot of homework is assigned, where will Shinichi Kudo still have time to appear at the scene of major murders.
"Deadline?"
Mito sat on a bench in the front courtyard of the campus, listening to the words of the editor on the other end of the phone, Nabe Shion.
"Yes, Mito-sensei, there are still three days until the magazine is published, and I wonder if Mito-sensei can send the manuscript the day after tomorrow, including typesetting and other factors?"
Nabe Shion's voice sounded a little apprehensive, she was a rookie editor, and Mito Moon was also a rookie writer.
Although "The Mystery of Rice Flowers" is indeed very good, and the word of mouth is slowly fermenting statistically, proving that Mito Sensei is indeed powerful, Mito is still too young to adapt to the form of a long-form serial.
I have to write thousands of words every half month...... It must be difficult.
Sure enough, when I talked about the deadline, Mr. Mito was obviously stunned.
Probably not, Mito-sensei didn't write anything at all!
Alas, these are all common things, these are all common things, and as an editor of Mito-sensei, I still need a lot of help for Mito-sensei.
"Ah, okay." Mito Yue nodded, "I'll check it again in the evening, and I'll be able to send the manuscript to the mailbox, so please pay attention to check." ”
"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Mito Moon had already finished writing, and Nabe Shion was very surprised, "Okay, okay, it seems that my worries are unnecessary, I thought Mito-sensei you hadn't finished writing yet." ”
“……”
Putting down the phone, Mito sighed.
He remembered clearly that it was only three days ago that he bought the semi-monthly issue of "Diamond" from the bookstore, which was a semi-monthly magazine, which meant that the next edition would not be published until fifteen days later.
No matter what, it's impossible to ask yourself for a manuscript after three days, right? Not to mention that Nabe Shion has three days left before the next "Diamond" is published.
Who stole the nine days in between?
This bizarre timeline is simply a nightmare for serialized publications.
Fortunately, Mito had already written a lot of content in one breath before, after all, when there was already a lot of storyline in his head, it was very easy to code up the words.
If it were a normal person, I would only have three days and I really didn't know what to do.
"Gotta find a way to get the computer to type on its own."
Two fingers pinched his lips, and Mito nodded heavily.
As a qualified writer, isn't it normal to let the computer as a tool learn to type on your own?
He pondered about the serialization of "Bad Boy" while bowing his head and walking forward, but not long after leaving the school, a figure suddenly popped up in front of Mito Tsuki.
Indeed, it can be described as jumping, it is like receiving rice...... Scared like a rabbit.
"Mizumito-san......"
Mito Moon looked up from her thoughts and looked at Himeko Omiya, who was suddenly standing in front of him with her head bowed.
This eccentric Omiya Himeko classmate is also too scary, and he has a bad heart to be scared on the spot when he appears in such a sudden way.
"What's wrong? Can I help you? ”
Mito Moon stood still.
"I, I, I...... This is a ...... for you."
Himeko Omiya handed over the gift box she had been holding in her hand.
This scene is familiar, the girl is standing in front of her with a gift, at least for Mito Tsuki.
"......" Mito Moon silently looked at the gift in Omiya Himeko's hand, "Omiya Himeko-san, if it's a confession, don't use it, you and I are just ...... Well, when Pingshui meets, the road is uneven and draws a knife to help each other. ”
"Huh?" Omiya Himeko was so frightened that she took a step back, and the things in her arms were about to fall to the ground, "Confess??? ”
"Isn't it?"
Omiya Himeko, who came back to her senses, hurriedly shook her head like a rattle: "This is a gift from my mother...... Thank you Mito-san for your help. ”
Hearing Himeko Omiya's explanation, Mito Moon understood what was going on. It seems that he is worrying too much, and the other party is just to express his gratitude, so he said this, is he just making himself amorous?
Although he knew that he was making himself amorous, Mito Moon was still normal, his face was not ordinarily thick, and Mito Yue knew it in his heart.
"So, thank you, what's inside?"
"Yokan! I don't know what flavor Mito-san likes, so there are matcha-flavored and azuki-bean-flavored ......"
Obviously, the family is in the business of cafes and foreign dim sum, but it turns out that it is Japanese sweets, is this considered an act of rivalry?
This funny thought just flashed through Mito Tsuki's mind, and after knowing that it was not a confession gift, he reached out and took the yokan.
He still has a good impression of this sweet snack.
Giving gifts to yokan in Japan is basically equivalent to giving gifts to tea in China, 365 days a year no matter who you give it to, it is a good choice.
Seeing Mito Moon accept her gift, a smile appeared on Himeko Omiya's face.
But she mustered up the courage to give gifts, and it can be said that it took a whole year of courage to make in one breath.
Himeko Omiya had also heard rumors that Mito-san had rejected other people's gifts, not to mention that Reiya-san, Hanabuchi, from Class A, but fortunately, the rejection did not happen.
If she was rejected in person, she felt that she had no choice but to jump from a tall building in shame.
"Hoo ......"
With a long sigh of relief, Himeko Omiya patted her chest and bowed her head and walked home.
Because both of their residences were in 2-chome, Mito Moon and Omiya Himeko walked a short distance together.
It's just that judging from the coordinated progress of the two of them, Omiya Himeko is like being coerced, and if Omiya Himeko walks in front and Mito Moon walks behind, this feeling of coercion will be even deeper.
"I'm home...... Thank you very much Mito-san for sending me home. ”
After bowing deeply to Mito Tsuki, Himeko Omiya ran into the café with a puff of smoke.
Mito Yue held the yokan gift box in her hand, and looked at Omiya Himeko who ran into the house speechlessly, and it seemed that she still needed to explain to this Omiya Himeko classmate later.
I wasn't sending her home, but the two of them just happened to have the same route home.
Mito didn't want anyone else to have any strange misunderstandings.
When he got home and sat in front of the computer, Mito Moon finished proofreading "Bad Boy" and sent it to Nabe Shion's mailbox.
"No, I have to find a way to let the computer do the daywork for me."
