When the three members of the Firefly Office and the Dawning Studio came down from the upper floor, the eyes of all the members of the studio converged on them.

It's the first time that the studio has been established for so long, and a club and office have come to the door.

And it's also at a point where the Dawning Studio could fall apart at any time.

If nothing else, this negotiation between Dawning Studio and Firefly will determine the future of the studio.

Sota Imai has a hearty smile on his face, and Junpei Maruyama, although not as good as Sota Imai, is also smiling.

As for Taku...... Tanabe

It was a very strange look, like shock mixed with some kind of excitement.

The faces of the firefly office were also full of smiles.

This made everyone in the Dawning Studio feel a little impenetrable.

"Why are you laughing on both sides? How's it going? ”

"The expressions of President Imai and Superintendent Maruyama must have been smooth, but I don't know what happened to Mr. Tanabe's appearance."

The people on the other side were also laughing, and they couldn't understand it...... Presumably, both sides achieve their own goals. ”

"I don't know what the studio will become next, and if I can continue to animate."

"I don't feel like there's much hope. Firefly has never been in the animation production business before, presumably because they want the studio to be in charge of the post-production of their studio. ”

“…………”

The sound was faintly noisy, and it was not until the group stopped on the second floor that it gradually quieted down.

Seeing his brother come down, Kimura Konoki also stood up from his chair.

It's slow......

It's getting dark.

The ass is also going to sit numb.

Seeing Kimura Hayabusa waving, Kimura walked over.

"Who is this?" It was only at this time that the three of the people in Akenoshi Studio noticed the girl who had been with Hayata Kimura from the beginning.

"My sister, Kokoki Kimura." Hayabusa Kimura introduced.

"It turned out to be the younger sister of President Kimura, if I didn't say it, I would have thought it was a star artist......

Imai Sota and Maruyama Junpei suddenly said respectfully, bowing and greeting as they spoke.

After Kimura Konoki bent down to return the salute, he was a little cramped.

Although the other side was saying some nice things, the oppressive atmosphere that greeted her still made her feel uncomfortable.

"Alright, that's it for today." Hayabusa Kimura leaned sideways in front of his sister, "It's best to pack up your things as soon as possible from the studio, the Firefly Office has already arranged a new office space for you." ”

"Yes, yes."

"Teppei."

"Hey."

"During this time, we will arrange for the office and some people from the club to connect with the Shuguang Studio, and the foreign affairs team will be responsible for the rest of the work."

"Okay."

“……”

The view was blocked by his brother, and Kimura Xinxi's crampedness eased slightly.

It's just that the bad atmosphere just now has been transferred to Hayaya Kimura.

Is this the workplace? It feels more depressing than what is played on TV.

My brother looked like he was completely adapted.

Somehow, Kimura always felt that the figure in front of him and the memory in his mind could not coincide.

It's ......

It's like a different person.

……………………………………………………………………

By the time you get on the bus, the sky over Tokyo is already dark.

Bright and chaotic lights flickered in the distance, and cars drove through the bustling metropolis.

Kokoki Kimura leaned in front of the car window, looking at the pedestrians and traffic on the street.

I've been to Tokyo once before and seen the night view of the streets of Tokyo.

But no matter how many times he watched it, Kimura couldn't help but feel a surprise in his heart.

Then, she took out her phone and clicked on Kyoko Tachibana's chat box.

Take a picture and send it.

Kokoki Kimura [Night view of the streets of Tokyo. 】

Kyoko Tachibana [Ah, it's so lively.] The last time I went to Tokyo, I didn't have time to take a good look. I really want to watch it all the time. 】

Kokoki Kimura [Then I'll see it next time I come.] 】

Kyoko Tachibana [Next time is not necessarily when. 】

Koki Kimura [If you want to come to Tokyo, you can come at any time. Just get on the train and you're there. 】

Kyoko Tachibana: [I'm talking about staying in Tokyo all the time. Settle down and work or something. 】

Kimura Kokoki [Huh?? 】

Kyoko Tachibana [If you live in a place like Tokyo, you should be able to see many celebrities and eat all kinds of food that you can't taste in Morido City......]

Konoki Kimura [Do you settle down and work...... It doesn't feel very good. It will be tiring. 】

In Morito City, Kyoko Tachibana, who was lying in bed, saw a message from a friend on the screen.

Very keenly aware of a strange smell.

Kyoko Tachibana【What's wrong?】 What happened? 】

Kyoko Tachibana [Was Konoki-chan really left on the streets? 】

Kokoki Kimura【...... What do you think. Not at all. 】

Kyoko Tachibana [Then how do you feel that Xinxi-chan's words are mournful, like an old granny.] 】

Kokoki Kimura [Is there one?] 】

Kyoko Tachibana【Yes!】 Absolute! 】

Kimura stared at Kyoko's reply, looked up and thought about it.

Although nothing can be seen in front of me.

Kimura Kokoki [Kyoko ......]

Kyoko Tachibana【Huh?】 】

Kokoki Kimura [I'll tell you. It's a really tough place in Tokyo. The rent is scary, the house is very small, the things are sold very expensive, and there are all kinds of strange people on the street......]

The white light of the mobile phone screen shone on the girl's fair little face.

Kimura pouted slightly, her fingers quickly pressing on the screen.

Kokoki Kimura【...... Also, the people in that studio have been working for a long time, and there are even futons on the floor, and I heard a person say that he often sleeps in the company after work......]

Kokoki Kimura [Those adults speak with a strange feeling, like wearing a mask......]

When the message passed, the screen was almost full of her complaining words.

Kimura Konoki was also a little surprised that he had written so many things.

The phone didn't reply to the message immediately.

Instead, there was a burst of silence.

It wasn't until a long time before Kyoko Tachibana sent a message.

Kyoko Tachibana [Terrible. JPG】

Kyoko Tachibana [But...... I haven't experienced it, so I don't know what it's like. Workplace rent or something feels so far away......]

Kyoko Tachibana [If it were me, I would never have worked overtime and disguised myself like that. It's too uncomfortable to live like this. 】

Kyoko Tachibana [I can't tell. These things will be better with Xinxi-chan telling your brother, right? Didn't you say before that your brother went to Tokyo alone after graduating from high school? 】

That's right.

My brother came to Tokyo after graduating from high school, and what I felt was felt by my brother at that time.

Thinking in his heart, Kimura Kokoki tilted his head to look at Hayata Kimura, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

As if sensing his sister's gaze, Hayabusa Kimura looked at her in the rearview mirror.

"It's boring today." Hayabusa Kimura asked.

"Sort of. But there's not much to do in Tokyo, it's the same everywhere. Kimura put away her phone.

"Wait a little while to pick up tomorrow's smoke, and go to the izakaya for dinner in the evening." Hayabusa Kimura said, propping his elbow on the window edge, "The shooting over there should be over there." ”

"Is it an izakaya owned by the owner of Kushima?" Kimura's eyes lit up. Although she also knows this izakaya in Tokyo.

"Hmm." Hayabusa Kimura nodded.

"The udon noodles made by the owner of Kushima are really delicious! When I went back, I didn't eat udon noodles that tasted the same as those of the owner of Kushima. I can still see Udon, and I don't know how Udon is doing, and whether it will become as fat as Jiro and them. ”

"Not so fast."

"It's magical. Eat at the izakaya of the characters in your book. Kimura smiled, "The boss of Kushima also said that he will definitely buy a copy after it is published." ”

Listening to her sister's excited voice, the corners of Kimura's mouth raised slightly.

"But I really didn't expect that Xinxi's first work would be favored by the publishing house, which is amazing. I can't tell what kind of literary genius Xinxi really is. ”

Kimura Shinki's eyes widened, as if he looked at him with something terrible: "It's not convincing for my brother to say such a thing. ”

"Huh? How? ”

"I've heard Kishida-sensei say that my brother's sales of the journal "Light Things" have hit a new high! The single book also sells quite well. Mr. Kishida also relied on his brother to become the person in charge of the pure love section of the journal "Light Things". If you really want to say it, my brother is a literary genius, right? Kimura said.

Hayabusa Kimura smiled and didn't speak, and only after a moment did his smile fade.

"These are not my first works."

"Huh......?"

"When I first arrived in Tokyo, oh, after the vacation after graduating from high school, I wrote several manuscripts and sent them to the publishing house, but all of them were rejected and none of them passed." Hayabusa Kimura looked out the window in front of him.

"All rejections?" Kimura's voice was a little incredulous.

After learning how powerful his brother was from Ryoichi Kishida before, now he only feels a little unbelievable when he hears these Kimura Kokoki.

"Why is the rejection happening? Is it being targeted by the publishing house? This was the only possibility that the girl could think of.

"What do you think...... At that time, it was nothing, how could the publishing house inexplicably target a newcomer. It's just that the manuscript is not suitable. Hayabusa Kimura explained.

Kimura waited quietly for his follow-up.

"The right background, the right people, the right timing...... and a variety of other factors that are inseparable from the success of the work. It's not that easy to succeed. ”

"Brother, what are you talking about......" Kimura frowned slightly, with some doubt in his eyes.

Some don't understand what Hayabusa Kimura said at this time.

"Nothing. It's just a sudden sigh. Hayabusa Kimura shook his head, "Rejection is rejection. It's true that manuscripts have been rejected many times. So I want to ...... I wonder if you're really a literary genius. ”

Kimura pouted, specious words.

But.

Her brother had such an experience of being rejected before, which she never expected.

Suddenly, she thought of something, leaned forward slightly, and asked curiously.

"Brother, how did you feel when you first came to Tokyo?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Curious."

"Feel...... Think about it, isn't there enough money to spend? At that time, I felt that I didn't have enough money to spend, and there were places everywhere that might need money. ”

"I see." Kimura nodded thoughtfully.

"Later, I started to study part-time, earning money and studying at the same time. You can also save some and send them home. ”

"You're going to be tired, right?"

"Forget." Hayabusa Kimura glanced at Kimura Kokoki, "But the time will be very tight, and I will often be busy until late before going back." ”

"Early in the morning?"

"Yes, there are. But most of them won't be that late. Izakaya, convenience store, delivery ...... Hey, I've really done a lot of part-time ......."

Listening to Kimura Hayayata's description, Kimura Xinxi's small face gradually became solemn.

It wasn't until the other party finished speaking that she let out a long sigh.

"It's hard to ...... in Tokyo"

That made Kimura Hayabusa look at her in surprise: "Speaking of which, I've been asking about these things since I started. What's going on? ”

Kimura shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "I just feel that it is difficult to survive in Tokyo." ”

Kimura raised his eyebrows too much.

It seems that the last time Kimura Konoki came to Tokyo, he asked the girl a similar question.

The answer is the same, but this time it seems to be a little more wasteful.
