Chapter 17: Two Evil Stars Missing One

Tokyo, Rice Flower Town.

Teidan High School, Reading Room.

"Hey, it's strange that Mito-san didn't come to the reading room today."

The glasses lady at the front desk looked at the familiar seat strangely, but there was no Mito Tsuki's figure, judging from Mitotsuki's habit of not being in the reading room every day, it was really strange that she didn't appear in the reading room today.

Could it be that the death of Reya Hanabuchi brought him a blow? But now that a long time has passed since that day, even if it is a blow, it should not be so late.

"I don't know where he's gone." The glasses lady felt that her movements this afternoon had become boring.

Mito didn't know that anyone was worried about him because he didn't go to the reading room, but even if he did, there wouldn't be any psychological fluctuations for him.

He arrived at the location and time on the phone, a café in a chome in Rice Flower Town.

After all, as you can tell from the name, it must have been changed from a town to a city in the Meiji period when the local system (capital, prefecture, city, and town) was corrected.

In the final analysis, Mihua City is actually the area of a village in ancient times, and it is naturally not big.

However, as the center of Minato Ward, there is also the Tokyo Tower in the park, and the land price has increased by tens of thousands of times compared to the rural area of 200 years ago.

It is estimated that the descendants of the villagers of that year have all ...... Died in the bombing of the BBQ in Tokyo presided over by U.S. Army General Li Mei.

"Xiaozhu Cafe, this is it."

Mito walked into the café with a blank face, and he swept the first floor with the clerk's soft welcome.

Well, the proprietress who was making coffee at the front desk was almost forty years old, but she was still beautiful.

But that's not the point, Mito found the person she was looking for in the corner of the window.

"Hello, you're the editor of Nabe, right?"

"Ah, I am." Nabe Shion immediately stood up.

She was dressed in the right overalls, and on one side of the table was the original manuscript of "The Mystery of Rice Flowers", and on the other side was a contract-like document, and of course there was a cup of coffee.

It's just that the coffee is halfway drunk, and it's no longer steaming, and it looks like I've been sitting in a café for a long time.

Mito Moon is looking at Nabe Shion, and Nabe Shion is naturally looking at Mito Moon in the same way.

Her first feeling in her eyes is that she is young, Mito Yue's appearance is unexpectedly younger, of course, she is more handsome, handsome doesn't look like a book writer at all, why do you write books with this look?

However, Nabe Shion is also a person with some face blindness, and he only sighed in his heart for two or three seconds about being handsome or something, and then sighed that he could write a book like "Rice Flower Mystery Case" at this age, is there really a genius in the world?

"Mito-san, you...... Is it a college student? ”

"It's a high school student."

"That's it, that's really powerful......" I didn't expect the other party's age to be younger than I guessed, and Nabe Shion was already so shocked that she didn't want to speak.

Think about it, when I was my age as Mito Tsuki, although I also wrote a few 'works', but the things that were written, Nabe Shion now looks back on it and feels like a deep black history, and if you show it to your friends, your friends will break up with you.

"Your work has been read by our editorial department, and it meets the publishing requirements of my editorial department." In fact, she and the editor-in-chief were the only two people who really read the original manuscript completely, and the others also read the beginning, "So Mr. Mito, did you write this book "The Mystery of Rice Flowers" alone?" ”

This sentence is equivalent to asking about copyright, no matter which country or physical book e-book, this is a necessary process.

Knowing that Kadokawa Shoten was really planning to publish his book, Mito Moon also became slightly serious.

In the face of Nabe Shion's inquiries one by one, Mito Moon replied fluently, if he were to be another author and editor, he would have to discuss the plot of the work more at this time, but "The Mystery of Rice Flowers" obviously has no problems in this regard.

In terms of plot, it is already difficult to find any faults, a little too flat and straightforward, and it is also broken by narrative tricks.

"Welcome."

The door of the café was opened, and two female guests walked in.

One of the two women had long straight black hair that was 37 points to the right, and the other had short brown hair.

The two look similar, both have extremely beautiful faces, but in terms of temperament, they are far from the same, and the short-haired beauty gives people the feeling of being frozen and shivering once they get close.

When Mito Tsuki's gaze swept over the two of them, his whole body couldn't help but stiffen.

"I won't discuss the specific publication matter for the time being, because according to the industry rules, you need to win the prize before publication, so for your work, our publishing house will price the original manuscript material at 6,000 yen per page, and if you divide it, you can give 10%, I wonder if you are satisfied?"

For the average newcomer, the original manuscript material is only 4,000 yen per page, and if you divide it, it may be 6% or 8%, which is about ———— same as the share given to translators who translate foreign works from Japan.

If those famous writers are divided, they will naturally go higher, after all, with the other party's fame, the sales will be extremely high.

But for Mito Tsuki, a newcomer who has no fame at all, a 10% share is already very good.

"Mr. Mito? Mr. Mito? ”

"Oh, yes, very generous."

Mito came back to her senses and nodded.

But now his focus was no longer on the publication of books, and from time to time his eyes glanced at the two women who had just entered.

The other party sat diagonally in front of him when he came in.

"No......" Mito rubbed her eyebrows.

If he guessed correctly, these two wouldn't be Akemi Miyano and Shiho Miyano, who later became Gray Plains.

This is a very possible thing, otherwise Mito Moon would not have developed a great sense of familiarity the moment he first saw the two of them.

And although Tokyo is big, the bank where Akemi Miyano works is in Yonkacho, and so is the research institute where Shiho Miyano works.

It's a normal thing to meet in Rice Flower Town - that's why there are so many cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in Little Millet Flower Town.

Speaking of which, the bank where Akemi Miyano works won't be the same bank that the original owner used to deposit money in, right?

"What's wrong? Mr. Mito? ”

Nabe Shion looked at Mito Moon who suddenly became strange in confusion.

"Nothing ......"

Mito Moon wanted to say that we would talk in another place, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem that Gray Hara didn't have the terrifying Grim Reaper physique like Edogawa Conan.

Although there may be members of the black-clad organization around to spy on Shiho Miyano, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Don't be so suspicious.

"Jingle bell."

"Welcome."

Another couple of guests walked into the café.

"Shinichi, come in quickly."

Looking up at the horned girl who walked in from the door, and then looking at Kudo Shinichi who was dragged in by Mao Lilan, Mito Moon covered her forehead with a headache: "No." ”

The Yakuza Town Evil Star present is still short of Maori Kogoro!
