On the other end of the phone, Yusuke Tamura's voice was clear:

"Mr. Asaba, I took a cursory look, the new book you submitted to the mailbox is very much in line with the requirements of our denki library, if you don't mind, I don't know if you can come to the denki library tomorrow morning to sign the authorization contract.

If you are in the following cities and counties, I will send you an electronic version of the contract, and after you sign it, you can mail it directly to our electric shock library. ”

"I'll go to the deneki bunko in the afternoon, I'm in Tokyo right now."

"That's great, by the way, there's one thing I'd like to ask you, may I ask if the illustration at the beginning of "Reincarnated Succubus" was drawn by yourself?"

"Yes."

"Illustrators with a level far beyond the ordinary, if you don't delay your codeword, you are responsible for the illustration of your own novel, maybe there will be unexpected surprises." Yusuke Tamura said seriously.

Kazama Asaba nodded subconsciously.

That's why he just drew the illustrations first.

Take the lead!

Just because you fresh graduates know how to prepare a good-looking resume for yourself, how can he not know how to instantly attract attention in the thousands of flowers?

"Of course there is no problem, I trust the aesthetics of the editor of the denki library."

Yusuke Tamura was silent for a moment, his voice seemed to be three points lower, and said:

"Mr. Asaba, you should be famous in the world of illustrators, right? IMHO, with the quality of your illustrations, we may not be able to give you a satisfactory price, and the editor-in-chief and other illustrators will have opinions. ”

Asa Kazama snorted softly.

Here he comes, that's what he wants.

He said lightly: "It's okay, just come at the price you can give, just think I'm paying for my dreams, I still have a little confidence in this book." ”

Editor Tamura breathed a sigh of relief, and with his instinct for years of work, the book was probably going to explode with this custom-made illustration.

But as he said, Dengeki Bunko couldn't afford such a high price, and he said in a gentle voice:

"I don't know how long it will take you to draw an illustration like this, and whether it will delay your time to write a novel."

"Of course not." Asa Ha Kazama said flatly, "It's only half an hour to draw an illustration that is inaccurate, and it's not as long as I code." ”

"Half ~ half an hour?"

……

[Venue: Dengeki Bunko Editorial Department]

Yusuke Tamura put down the phone, took a screenshot of Kazama Asaba's illustration, and sent it to a colleague on the side.

"Wow, that's a great painting."

Another editor, who was still working overtime, poked his head out of his workstation and shouted at Tamura, "Tamura, which teacher's masterpiece is this, I'll go see if there are any color maps." ”

He looked at Yusuke Tamura sitting at his workstation thoughtfully, so he said, "What's the matter, Tamura, you look scared?" ”

"This painting was painted by an author who just submitted it to me, and painted it for himself."

"That's amazing! Which big teacher wants to go ashore, and he actually chooses to paint such a picture by himself, it's very hard! ”

"I don't know who it is, it should be an old author who has been writing light novels trying to reopen, this writing is quite sophisticated, not like a newcomer.

But what he just said, I kind of care. ”

"Huh?"

"He said it would take him half an hour to paint a picture like this."

The editor was stunned, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't be kidding, Tamura, you can believe this."

We also deal with that group of illustrators, others don't know, you and I don't know?

For illustration, it doesn't take much time to draw a beautiful character, but it is not easy to ensure that the characters are beautiful while ensuring that the colors are rich and eye-catching, and the movements are beautiful and eye-catching. ”

"yes." Yusuke Tamura secretly thought to himself, "Some people have been drawing for a few years, and the illustrations they draw will give people a 'dirty' feeling. ”

"What's more, you see the use of color, it's amazing! Look at this background again, elegant, really elegant! Where is this that can be done in half an hour? ”

Yusuke Tamura pondered, this is really not good.

Teacher Fang Cai's words were too calm and too natural.

He cautiously asked, "Nippori, what if he really did it in half an hour?" ”

Nippori turned her head in surprise, thought seriously for a moment, sighed and said:

"Painting requires skill, but some people are born with such ability, and the field that ordinary people have spent half a lifetime touching, may be the starting point for them.

This level of illustration, each one is a pleasure, and if it's really as you say, that Asaba-sensei can really do it......"

"It must be amazing!"

The Nippori editor shook her head and said, "No, it's not very powerful, it's a god!" ”

……

The words are divided into two ends.

On the other side, while reading a book, Kazama Asaba picks up his phone from time to time.

After a while, I put my phone down again and started reading the book again.

But soon, feeling a little irritable, he put down the book again, got up and went to the computer.

"Forget it, you can draw."

Rina Ishihara hasn't sent a message for a long time, which has kept him unable to calm down.

The magic version of "The Prince of Tennis", he is also ready to be serialized in the weekly "Shonen JUMP".

However, compared to illustrations that require more detailed drawing, manga is faster to draw.

As he draws, he suddenly notices that his phone is lit up.

As soon as the pen in his hand was forced, a scratch appeared on the PS's drawing.

Putting down the pen, he picked up his phone, and then he saw the backstage of Twitter, and Rina Ishihara replied:

"Eh, did you recognize the wrong person?"

Kazama Asaba smiled, and subconsciously said, "See you again, sister."

But I felt that talking like this might scare some stupid person who was afraid of things, so I deleted this sentence and followed the "reference answer" in the love simulation, and sent a sentence:

"Eh, Rina-san, aren't you in Kumamoto Prefecture? I'm Kazama Asaba, don't you remember me?"

What Asaba Kazama didn't know was that on the other side, Rina Ishihara's eyes had widened when she saw the message he sent.

In the dimly lit room, the light of her phone shone on her face.

Before she could react, a photo was sent directly.

"It's me, I saw that Sister Rina sent the Tokyo Sky Tree, did you come to Tokyo from Kumamoto Prefecture? Why don't you come and play with me?"

Asa Ha Kazama's words jumped out directly.

Rina Ishihara looked at the photo in a daze.

In the photo, the young man's eyes have an indescribable look, and he smiles gently and brightly.

Rina Ishihara's heart sped up uncontrollably.

An irrepressible flush crept up from her collarbone all the way to her face, and she hugged the pillow tightly, with a confused and unconcealable joy in her eyes.

"It turns out that it's really not a dream!"

Her fingertips tapped lightly on the screen, as if trying to touch the boy's face: "Meet again, my knight, and the groom......"
