“...... Well, Tsukimi, do you mean you're going to ask for a painting assistant? ”

"Well, I've actually found a couple of predetermined candidates on the Internet...... But Sanshan reminded me to pay attention to safety, and editor Weng might be able to recommend me a good painting assistant, so I made a special phone call, "Weng Ruyu's voice on the other end of the phone sounded no different from usual, but for the sake of safety, Yuemi still asked, "That, didn't disturb editor Weng your work, right?" ”

"It's also part of an editor's job to solve problems for the creators under your control, so you don't have to mind." Weng Ruyu's slightly gentle voice made Yuemi breathe a sigh of relief, and she continued to listen to Weng Ruyu, "As for talking about painting assistants...... Actually, I really have a good candidate here, how many people do you need in Yuemi. ”

"If I could, I would like to keep the number as small as possible...... But Miyama said that it would take at least two people to match my speed...... And also, don't have a male ......."

"Well, don't have men, it's a cute condition, is it proposed by Mr. Miyama?"

I could hear the laughter of the man on the other end of the phone.

"No, it's a condition I asked for...... I'm not good at talking to strange men......"

If it's a girl, Tsukimi said that it should be barely able to communicate, and men ...... If you can, stay away as much as possible, after all, Yuemi has always felt that men sometimes exude a frightening aura for some reason.

"Poof, it's very Tsukimi's style."

"What does that mean?"

Yuemi protested dissatisfiedly.

didn't care about Yuemi's protests, Weng Ruyu continued: "Female painting assistant, to be honest, I just have someone here who can recommend it to you, but there is only one, of course, the quality is absolutely passable." ”

"Really?!"

"Of course, I can inform the other party right now if you need to, but I have to say in advance that she is preparing to make her debut as a cartoonist, so it is possible that she will quit her job as a drawing assistant after she feels that she has accumulated enough experience."

"It doesn't matter...... Well, can you come to my house for an interview at one o'clock in the afternoon next Monday? ”

Yuemi believed that her editor should not cheat her, but there was still a basic interview, so she told Weng Ruyu the time and place of the interview.

"Well, I'll get in touch with you later if she wants to."

On the other end of the phone, there was the sound of the tip of the pen scratching the paper, as if Weng Ruyu was recording something.

"And ...... That ......" The next words of Yuemi were subtle and a little difficult to speak, but the empathetic Weng Ruyu took the initiative to help her speak: "I hope I will come over on Monday to help watch the point, right?" No problem, I'll get my time right. ”

From the beginning of the phone Yuemi's sentence, Weng Ruyu roughly understood the purpose of Yuemi's call, and wanted to ask her if she had a recommended painting assistant, which was probably secondary, after all, she also knew that Yuemi lived alone, and it was better to have an adult present for safety.

Of course, in fact, if you want to talk about adults, Yuemi can call Miss Xueyi, who insists on going back to her house, but in terms of Miss Xueyi's physical combat power and deterrence, Yuemi feels that she may not be as reliable as herself.

"That...... I'm sorry for you......" Hearing that Weng Ruyu already knew what she was going to say, Yuemi felt that her face was slightly hot and thanked her very gratefully.

After all, if even this is the work of the editor, then the editor is really too busy, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart for the kindness that Weng Ruyu has revealed.

"And then anything else?" Weng Ruyu on the other end of the phone patiently stared at Yuemi's later text.

But before Yuemi could reply, the doorbell of her own entrance suddenly rang.

“…… There's nothing else to do, and I seem to have a guest at home......"

Thinking about who would come to him at this time, Yuemi said to Weng Ruyu as she walked towards the entrance.

"yes, then I'll hang up the phone."

"Well, I'm sorry for you......"

Hanging up the phone, Yuemi held the phone in her hand and walked to the door of her house, standing on tiptoe and looking out of the door in the cat's eyes.

That's Anna and Ji Kaiwei.

…… It's really a strange combination, are these two people very familiar?

Yuemi muttered in her heart, and then opened the door: "Anna, Kaiwei, why did you suddenly come to my house?" ”

"I'm here to play with you." This is the bright smiling Anna.

And Ji Kaiwei just said hello lightly as usual: "Good afternoon, Yuemi." ”

“…… If you come over, you can actually say hello to me first, and I can prepare snacks and tea. With a little complaint, Tsukimi welcomed the two of them indoors.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just here to show off today~" Putting up her glasses, Anna stretched out her hand and pointed at Yuemi, "Hmph, you also know the results of this issue of this newspaper that came out yesterday!" This is my first stage win since you started serializing Death Note! I won't give you the first place after that! ”

Even Ji Kaiwei couldn't look at that fluttering posture, and slammed it towards the back of her head, and while Anna was covering her head because of the pain, he picked up her back collar and threw it on the sofa, and then said to the stunned Yuemi: "Don't care, that idiot got carried away." ”

"Uh-huh, I didn't care......"

Yuemi smiled dryly, in fact, she was simply startled by Ji Kaiwei's strength to lift Anna with one hand.

"Anyway, Anna, congratulations~ I'm also reading your new work, it's a very royal work."

As a result, Yuemi's words of praise made Anna subtly shy, and she grabbed her hair and turned her face away: "Well, it's okay, I'm glad that you like me." ”

"No, but even if Yuemi says this, I won't give it to you in the next issue of this newspaper!"

However, even if she was embarrassed there, she still said such things awkwardly, which made Yuemi laugh, and even the corners of Ji Kaiwei's mouth were slightly upturned.

"And you two came here today just to talk about this?"

Although it was said that because the two did not notify Yuemi in advance that Yuemi would come over, Yuemi could not prepare snacks, but Yuemi still took out the snacks she bought to entertain the two.

"No, no, in fact, Ji Kaiwei pulled me over today, you asked her specifically."

Anna picked up a bag of potato chips and waved her hand, pointing at Ji Kaiwei, who was sitting upright, and then Yuemi looked at her suspiciously.

"Actually, I want to make a game, can Tsukimi, come and help?"

“…… Ha? ”
