Twilight fell like a large gray net, quietly falling and enveloping the whole land. The evening wind is not as cold as it is, and in this midsummer season, it will feel hot and dry when you wear more clothes.

Gu Wu, who was standing alone in front of the mirror, wiped the water stains on his face with a towel, and the life of no one disturbed him couldn't help but recall the past time.

The days of living alone have a different flavor, and the loneliness that comes from the heart is like nutrients, urging Gu Wu to make efforts and struggles in some aspects.

By the way, Gu Wu sent Lin Yi back yesterday, although that little Lori used 'see you next time' as a farewell, in fact, as long as she wants, she can go to Gu Wu's house every day to play.

However, taking care of children is not what Gu Wu is good at, and he has been a little busy with work recently, so he doesn't have much free time to take care of that girl.

After everything was ready, he left the hallway, and as he closed the door, he received an email from Kasumigaoka and Eiri, and the exact time gave him a suspicion that they had made an agreement.

[Letter: Kasumigaoka Shiyu

Time: 18:34

Text: Everything is going well, I am ready to submit the manuscript in a week, and let's make an appointment for the final review of the work. 】

Kasumigaoka Shiba belongs to the school of action.

Whether it's love or work, she won't let herself be in a passive state, but the occasional girlish heart gives her a lot of opportunities.

After simply replying to Xia Zhiqiu, Gu Wu also opened the email from Ying Lili.

[Letter: Eiri Sawamura.]

Time: 18:34

Text: The revised work was submitted to the website, and the response was very good! Thanks to Mr. Gu Wu!! 】

In the face of this short paragraph, Gu Wu still thought of Ying Lili happily rolling around on the bed with a pillow.

She has gained attention because of this growth, and I believe no one will find it annoying, right? After all, it's more powerful than the original self, even if it's just a little bit, it will make people feel happy.

responded with the old-fashioned 'continue to work hard' and 'come on together', and then put away his mobile phone Gu Wu sped up his pace.

Last night, Machida Enko, the deputy editor of the Immortal River Bookstore and Gu Wu's senior, said that he wanted to have a conversation; And tonight, Gu Wu, who had no reason to refuse, rushed towards the meeting place given by Machida Yuanzi.

When Gu Wu arrived at the scene in a taxi, Machida Yuanzi, who was standing next to the station platform, had an unhappy expression on his face.

"I said junior, you can't do this, the lady arrived at the scene first, and the boy was thirty minutes early, but it was a necessary routine in the novel!"

"This is not the world of fiction...... Rather than arriving early, I would prefer that both sides can arrive at the meeting point on time. ”

Gu Wu, who took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, there were still five minutes left before the agreed time, which also showed that Gu Wu was not late.

However, just like dating, 'being late' is not about who arrives after the agreed time, but on who arrives after the other person arrives.

"Forget it, a dull-looking guy like you isn't suitable for those routines, let's go, I'll take you to a good place."

"Okay, I'll invite Machida-senpai this time."

Gu Wu, who is also a little interested in Japanese cuisine, said that now is the time to show his atmosphere, and it is not a loss to have a good relationship with the deputy editor of the Immortal River Bookstore.

"Hmph, you actually said that you had a treat? Then you can be enlightened! ”

"If you eat too much, your body will gain weight, please note this...... Woo————!! ”

Gu Wu, who was trampled hard by Machida Yuanzi, swallowed the last word into his stomach, and reluctantly followed the senior towards the bustling neighborhood.

The night view of the city in front of you is not as gorgeous as that of Kabukicho, but it is full of the charm of Japan's unique culture.

Handsome cowherds haunt the streets from time to time, kimono-clad kabuki performers hand out flyers for performances, roadside buskers show off their talents, and their melodious or cheerful singing voices are not muffled by car horns, but emphasize their presence.

In this steel forest, the neon-lit city has no intention of calming down.

Gu Wu heard that if you take the Shinkansen that stretches from Tokyo to Kyushu, you can see more than 1,000 kilometers of cityscape at once, and if you have time, you can try it.

In the past, Gu Wu had seen a lot of introduction videos of the beautiful scenery of the Celestial Empire, although he went first, but he was forced to take action due to economic problems.

If there was a chance to return to the original world, Gu Wu thought that he would try to take a trip.

However, this almost fictional thought was soon interrupted, interrupted by the energetic voice of a senior who had been single for thirty years.

"It's here! Izakaya that I recommend! ”

"'Izakaya' under the night? It's a strange name. ”

There are many Japanese names that are very strange......

"Let's go, don't forget what you just said."

"I do what I say, and the money is still enough."

"Let me see your manhood."

It's not manhood, it's wallet style.

Due to Gu Wu's recent relationship with various bigwigs, he also spent the last 1,000 achievement points.

The items spent are [in exchange for money], which is used to buy various gifts and snacks, after all, there is a need for people, and it is not possible to prepare nothing.

At present, there are still 200,000 yen of residual funds, which is more than enough to treat the seniors in front of you to a meal.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Wu entered the izakaya under the leadership of Machida Yuanzi, and the person who came to greet him was a man who looked like a black bear.

The unshaven man, wearing a chef's hat, pointed to the innermost seat when he saw Machida Enko.

"Miss Machida is here again, and the last seat by the window has been reserved for you!"

"I'm sorry for you."

"No, it's surprising that a man came? Could it be ......?"

"Please don't make that weird guess!"

Machida Aenko slapped the chef in the face while denying, and even the bear-like man stumbled.

Gu Wu greeted the chef with a smile and followed behind Machida Yuanzi to take a seat.

Both of them are located against the window, and they can see a small river outside, and occasionally people walking and walking their dogs appear in the field of vision.

The wind blows from the other side of the river at night, mixed with the aroma of grass, and it is indeed a treasure of feng shui.

"What do you want?"

The waiter appeared on Gu Wu's left side at this time, his eyes fell on the senior in front of him, and motioned for her to order.

"Three bottles of ale, two servings of cold slaves, and two servings of edamame, sashimi, and fried meat, and the oden will be asked for last."

"Okay, I'll be ready for you."

Seeing the waiter leaving, Gu Wu fiddled with the cup in front of him.

"Are you really eating it all?

"Of course!"

"So what did Machida-senpai do when he approached me? Is there a problem with the bookstore or the library? ”

"Well, it's time to warn you."

Since the waiter brought the ale first, Machida Enko said while pouring the wine.

"Recently, several works have been animated in advance, and they are not officially TV, but OAD for publicity, so it takes close cooperation from all sides, after all, excellent promotional works can lay the foundation for the future and increase the overall sales of the library."

The competition in the industry has continued, and Machida Enko's meaning is obvious, that is, to strive for the position on the sales list.

"Character design, original words, script writers, including our editors, are all one and the same, you must know that animation companies are basically connected with authors through editors, and each aspect plays an indispensable role."

“…… Okay, I see, the busy Immortal River Bookstore has been running out of time for other things. ”

"That's right, but you stupid junior bothers the teachers who have a job; They don't talk about it, they don't hate helping young people, the problem is that it can affect their work. ”

While Machida Yuanzi urged Gu Wu to drink, he had already begun to pour a second glass.

"That's why some editors think you're a rude guy and deliberately bother those teachers to find a shortcut for a fledgling author."

"But as a rookie author, Teacher Xia Shizi has good grades, right?"

"The grades are good, but they are far from the popular writers, especially those teachers who have millions of books."

"Can't deny ......"

Helping Kasumigaoka seek expert advice has backfired?

Probably seeing Gu Wu's gloomy expression, Machida Yuanzi drank Gu Wu's cup to the brim of half a cup.

"The ale here is delicious, come back!"

"Now is not the time to drink."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let those guys do anything to my juniors! If you want to help your own editing, just do it! ”

"Machida-senpai!"

"So drink!"

Speaking of this, Machida Enko drank the ale from her cup.

"Let me tell you, yesterday another classmate invited me to a birthday party, and their child turned five! Last week, I went to the wedding of the class president when I was a student! It's disgusting!!! ”

Gu Wu probably thought of the reason why this senior came over by himself.

The conversation between the two continued, and the dishes were slowly served.

Listening to the seniors' wine talk, Gu Wu thought that this night was still a long one.

"What do you think I'm wrong with?"

"I think Machida-senpai is very good."

"Then are you going to marry me?!"

"This ......"

"Don't want to, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to."

The thirty-year-old royal sister is also earning if you want to say that you are earning, but Gu Wu is more interested in the same age or JK.

"Hmm! One more drink!! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”

"Too much to drink!"

"Junior! Come here! I'll feed you with my mouth! ”

"Waiter, a big cup of tea!"

Gu Wu planned to wake up the senior in front of him who was 'drunk alone'.

While using his hands to stop Machida Yuanzi from sticking up, Gu Wu did not forget to eat the sashimi held by the chopsticks, after all, the taste was very good.

In addition, Gu Wu also took this opportunity to learn that the seniors in his arms were definitely his companions
