Chapter 30: A Chance Encounter

Every manga artist has his own habits, especially in the face of a genius newcomer like Araki Haku, and Yosuke Akasaka doesn't want to ask him to draw NAME too much.

He could only say a little helplessly: "The purpose of drawing NAME is mainly to grasp the direction of the story, if Araki-sensei is already in mind, he can naturally skip this step." I wonder if you can show me the original manuscript of the first volume? ”

Araki Bai nodded and took out the manuscript from the box.

There are three words in the original manuscript of the first volume that have been pasted with a grid, and they are complete. There are still a few words that haven't had time for post-processing, and it's just a first draft.

Yosuke Akasaka picked up the first three episodes and read them, and the plot direction of the first three episodes is somewhat similar to the short story, but it is more complete than the short story.

After all, the short story is short, so the conflict between the characters cannot be developed well, but in the original version of the original version, there is no such problem.

Compared with the short story with a cut content, the official version is undoubtedly more attractive. Such an original manuscript can already be used for serialization at the serialization meeting.

"Looks very good! Araki-kun, can I bring these three original manuscripts back to the magazine? Yosuke Akasaka said excitedly.

"No problem, I was originally going to let you bring it back to the magazine to submit it." Araki Hakuro said.

"OK, then I'll go first."

Yosuke Akasaka just stood up and realized that he still had something to say, and then sat down awkwardly.

He said to Araki Haku, "Araki-kun, I told you about our contract on the phone before, but you didn't give me an answer at the time. So I'd like to confirm with you again, do you have any questions about the contents of the contract? Are you interested in accepting our contract? ”

Araki Bai nodded, "Of course I will accept it, but I don't like to look at those rules, and I'm still a minor." So I'll hire a lawyer to negotiate my contract with you, so that's fine, right? ”

Akasaka was stunned, they signed a new person, and no one had ever hired a lawyer to negotiate.

However, what Araki Bai said is also very reasonable, he is still a minor, and theoretically he is not qualified to sign a contract.

Yosuke Akasaka said, "We know that you are a minor, but you can have your parents come and sign the contract. Isn't it a waste to hire a lawyer and pay a lot of legal fees? ”

Araki Hakuro said: "My mother is seriously ill and is now in the hospital, and I don't want her to worry about this kind of thing. My father has been missing for months, and it will be difficult to find him. As for the lawyer's fees, I still have some savings, so don't worry. ”

Yosuke Akasaka nodded stunned and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Araki's family situation to be so complicated...... I see, I'll report to the editorial office. ”

Araki Hakudao: "Then thank you Mr. Akasaka, I'll send you." ”

In this way, Yosuke Akasaka left the Araki Haku's house with three original copies of "Samsara" and a DV player with a video of Araki Haku's paintings.

Kazushi Kitagawa played GALGAME all night yesterday, so it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up.

He opened his phone and found an unread email, sent by Araki Shira.

After a night of venting, Kitagawa Kazushi's mood finally became a little more normal, and he clicked on the email casually.

In the email was a photograph of half a caricature.

The cartoon depicts an old man driving a black Mercedes-Benz sedan carrying a beautiful girl. Araki Haku wrote a sentence in the email that Kitagawa Kazushi couldn't understand: "Senior, can you use this photo to match the school's roster and find out which girl in the school is this?" ”

"I actually want to match a three-dimensional girl with a two-dimensional character...... It doesn't seem impossible to do it. Kazushi Kitagawa actually carefully considered what kind of algorithm should be used to achieve Araki Haku's requirements.

Soon, Araki Haku received a reply from Kazushi Kitagawa.

"I don't need to match, because I know who the girl in the picture is."

Araki Bai picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that it was Kitagawa's reply, and he was immediately overjoyed.

He sent a message to Kitagawa Kazushi: "Who is it? Hurry up and tell me! ”

Kazushi Kitagawa sent a message: "I know who it is, but I don't want to tell you about such a European bastard (laughs). ”

Araki Bai looked helpless and sent a message: "Senior, I don't have time to joke, this matter is really serious!" ”

Kitagawa Kazushi scratched his head and said casually: "Araki-kun, you have to remember to owe me a favor!" Although there is a certain gap between the appearance of the characters in the comics and reality, I know both the car and the old man. It was supposed to be the president's car. ”

Araki Bai was stunned for a moment, and typed, "President? You mean President Kasuga? ”

Kazushi Kitagawa sent a message: "If there are other girls in our school who will be picked up by special buses...... That's right, I'm talking about the student council, Haruhi Yukino! ”

Araki Haku typed, "Do you know President Kasuga's mobile phone number?" ”

Kitagawa and Zhidao: "I don't know, her mobile phone number and email number are secrets, and only a few people in the school know about them." Because someone used to sell her number and made a fortune. ”

After Kitagawa Kazushi finished typing, he suddenly pushed his glasses, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face.

Even Kitagawa Kazushi couldn't get the chairman's number, and Araki Haku thought that he would definitely not have the honor to get it. He thought for a moment and sent a message to Beichuan Dao: "Do you know where the president's house is?" ”

Kitagawa said, "I know, but are you sure you really want to go to the president's house to find her?" ”

Araki Bai said: "I'm sure, hurry up and give me the address!" ”

Kitagawa sent a string of addresses.

"Good luck, don't say it's the address I gave you."

Araki Shiro replied with an "OK" and left the house in a hurry.

Stopped a taxi on the street, and Araki Shiro reported the address of Kasuga's house.

The taxi driver first glanced at Araki Bai in some surprise, but he didn't say much and started straight on the road.

Araki Shiro didn't pay attention to the driver's strange gaze, he was thinking about the connection between the two death notices.

There is no doubt that the targets of the death notice are all people who have been in contact with Araki Shiro.

One of them is Aya Hirano, and the other is Yukino Haruhi, the student president.

Judging from Ayaya Hirano's preview, the time of the incident was almost 36 hours after Araki Haku's prediction. At this time, it has only been 12 hours since Kasuga Yukino's death notice, so there should be more than enough time.

So what Araki Haku has to think about is how to convince Kasuga Yukino not to travel by car for the next 24 hours.

But if Araki Haku's proposal is too abrupt, he will appear very suspicious.

What do you have to say? Araki's brows were furrowed, and he was working out a foolproof plan in his heart.

The rental slowly stopped at an intersection, which was already close to the suburbs, so there wasn't a lot of traffic, and Araki Shiro leaned back in his chair and looked out the window a little bored.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a heavy truck coming from the road on the right.

Realizing that something had changed, he immediately looked up and saw a black car driving from far and near on the right lane in front of him.

At such a distance, Araki Bai naturally couldn't see the appearance of the drivers in the two cars, but he immediately opened the door of the taxi and rushed out of the car.
