Afternoon.

Hayata Kimura came to the front of the Hazunsha building.

Gray and white walls, simple and bright style.

It's a bit plain, but it exudes an unpretentious precipitation atmosphere.

A lovely receptionist in the lobby takes Hayabusa Kimura to a discussion room after asking him about his reservation.

It is a place for writers and editors to discuss the publication and publication of their works.

The young lady in charge of the reception was turning on the heating in the house, and her eyes peeked at the young man.

She has met a lot of writer teachers, and raunchy and casual dress seems to be what writer teachers have in common.

But the ...... in front of you

It's a very handsome young writer teacher!

"Teacher, please wait in the room for a while."

After pouring a glass of water, she left the discussion room.

Hayabusa Kimura was left alone.

Hayaya Kimura took out his phone and sent a message to Ryoichi Kishida.

It wasn't long before there was a slightly hurried pace outside the discussion room.

There was a knock on the door of the discussion room.

The door was slowly pushed open.

A thin man in a formal suit appeared in front of the door.

…………………………

"Ryoichi Kishida. In the future, I will be responsible for following up on the publication and distribution of Mr. Kowon's works......"

Ryoichi Kishida pointed to the manuscript on the table,

"Hello Kishida-sensei."

It was only at this time that Ryoichi Kishida really looked at the young man in front of him.

He looks very young, like a college student.

But unlike the simple appearance of college students, it seems more calm and introverted.

"Teacher Xiaoyuan's novel should be a theme of pure love, right?"

"Hmm."

Because it was the first time to negotiate with the publishing house, Kimura was too reserved.

It wasn't the environment he was familiar with.

He chose to follow the other party's question.

"Maybe the teacher of the small courtyard doesn't know very well, the theme of pure love is not popular now."

Ryoichi Kishida said thoughtfully,

"However, the setting of Mr. Kogain is different from any book on the theme of pure love that I have seen before...... It's new, it's something that hasn't been created before. ”

"I know." Hayabusa Kimura nodded.

"Huh?"

"Not being popular also means there are more possibilities, doesn't it?"

Ryoichi Kishida was stunned.

"Teacher Koin seems to have said something very interesting."

"It's just what I thought in my heart."

"But...... Teacher Koinaka, please believe that the Yuyin Club only looks at the quality of the work............ will never veto a good work just because the subject matter is not popular. ”

"I believe that otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here with Mr. Kishida right now."

Hayabusa Kimura reached out and stroked the cup on the table and said jokingly.

Ryoichi Kishida had a relaxed smile on his face.

Then, as if thinking of something, he leaned forward and sat up straight.

"Teacher Xiaoyuan, in fact, I have some questions about the content of the work."

"Kishida-sensei, please."

"What exactly is the "sudden end" mentioned in the introduction? It doesn't seem to be clearly stated in the manuscript submitted by the teacher in Kowon......"

"About this...... After reading the follow-up of the novel, Kishida-sensei will understand. ”

Hayaya Kimura took out a stack of manuscripts from his backpack, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Ryoichi Kishida.

That's the content of the second half of "Tonight、世界からこの爱が消えても"。

…………………………

Outside the window, the sky was getting dark, and the discussion room was illuminated by the golden afterglow.

Silence pervades the room.

Only the occasional sound of paper churning sounds.

Ryoichi Kishida was silent after reading the manuscript.

When the last sheet closed, Ryoichi Kishida lowered his head.

His eyes stared at the manuscript for a long time.

By the time he looked up again, his eyes were already a little red and swollen.

Ryo Kishida opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it because of the choking in his throat.

My mind was like a mess of twine.

entangled, making him feel extremely depressed.

He had tried to imagine the plot that might come to many novels in the future, whether it was a happy ending or a sad ending.

But......

When Toru Kamiya in the novel dies suddenly.

It was like a tight rope that suddenly broke and left suddenly without a sound.

So many sweet pasts in front of me turned into a heavy punch and smashed into my heart, and a violent emptiness and sadness surged up.

Ryoichi Kishida swallowed hard, mixed emotions that made his chest rise and fall.

"A heart-wrenching ending."

He had never seen such a pure love novel, with a novel setting and a heart-wrenching ending.

Even after reading it, I still feel a dull pain in my heart.

"After reading Mr. Koina's manuscript, I am even more convinced that this is an excellent novel." Ryoichi Kishida said sincerely.

"Thank you."

"If there's no problem, let's go through the process...... It's best to finalize it today and try to publish it in the next issue of Light Things. ”

"Ahh Please wait a minute......"

"Do you have any questions?"

"Excuse me, if I remake my novel into a movie, is that okay?"

"Huh?!"

……………………………

Although there are some rounds and turns, after confirmation by Ryoichi Kishida.

I don't know if it's because of the respect for the writer's teacher or because Hayabusa Kimura is just a newcomer, but the Hayanonsha doesn't have too many restrictions on this strange request.

After signing the contract, Hayaya Kimura leaves the Hazunsha building.

I really didn't expect it......

One day, I will be called a writer teacher.

It's an amazing feeling.

Hayabusa Kimura sat on the train back, filled with excitement about the novel's publication.

From yesterday when he received the email to now, he has been keeping this matter in his heart.

Didn't tell anyone.

But now that the contract has been signed, the novel will be published in the next issue.

He was desperate to tell the good news.

I don't know if Smoke will be surprised when he finds out!

The cold light outside the tram window fell on his face, and a soft smile rose on his face.

Somehow.

It popped into his mind.

That night, the smoke of tomorrow under the streetlights......

The girl smiled and said to him, "Because the person I want to share with the most is close by......"

Hayabusa Kimura lifted his fingers and touched the beige scarf around his neck.

"Whoosh, I see."

A few sounds of surprise rang out in the carriage, and everyone's eyes looked out the window.

The dark night is illuminated by the bustling lights of Tokyo, and through the beams of light, it seems that something is falling downward.

A whimpering cold wind swept across the moving tram.

Countless snowflakes floated in the sky, dancing in the wind.

It's snowing......

At the end of the winter day that is about to leave Tokyo.

Hayabusa Kimura took out his phone and found that Tomorrow had sent two messages.

Tomorrow smoked [When will Hayabusa-chan come home?] 】

Tomorrow smokes [wronged cat. JPG】

Hayabusa Kimura [On the way back.] 】

Smoke tomorrow [Good!] 】

Hayabusa Kimura [I have good news to tell Smoke in the evening.] 】

Smoke tomorrow [Huh?] What? 】

Hayabusa Kimura [I'll talk about it when I get back.] 】

Smoke tomorrow [Then I'll make dinner and wait for Hayabusa-chan to come back.] 】

The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Hayabusa Kimura put away his phone and looked out the window.

Odd.

I always feel that today's tram is so slow.
