The air in the discussion room was silent.

After signing the contract, Hayabusa Kimura turned his head to look at Kokoki Kimura, who signed the contract.

looked at Ryoichi Kishida on the side.

"Mr. Kishida, can I take a look?" Hayabusa Kimura said.

"Huh? Ah, good. ”

The young man's voice pulled Ryoichi Kishida back from the manuscript, and he closed the manuscript in his hand and handed it to Hayaya Kimura.

"Where's that sentence?"

"What is the teacher talking about?" Ryoichi Kishida leaned forward in confusion.

"It's the passage that Kishida-sensei just read." Hayabusa Kimura repeated.

Ryoichi Kishida stretched out his hand and flipped through the manuscript on the table, and said in his mouth: "I remember where the part where the owner of the izakaya and Yuriko just opened a store in Tokyo, where did they come from...... Got it. ”

The page stopped, and the manuscript opened to the page where the passage was written.

"That's what the teacher said, right?" Ryoshi Kishida pressed a finger to the side of that passage.

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Kishida. ”

Hayata Kimura saw the passage that Ryoichi Kishida had just said in a pile of cute words.

His hands pressed to the sides of the manuscript, his eyes looked at him in astonishment.

Heard me right......

That's what my sister really wrote in it.

For a moment, a bunch of possibilities flashed through his mind.

Hayabusa Kimura twisted the pages of the manuscript with his fingers and flipped it back.

His eyes quickly swept the neat columns of words on it.

He had also looked at Xinxi's manuscript a few times before, but he hadn't looked at it very closely.

One is because he knows a lot about the boss of Kushima, and even if he doesn't read it, he knows the direction and development of the story.

The second is that his sister always hides from him, and she looks at it a few times or takes a few glances when she is not paying attention.

Sometimes he is very suspicious that Kimura Kokomi's Asuki, Grandma and Kyoko Tachibana have seen it, and even the two fat cats in the family, Daro and Jiro, may have seen it.

Only I haven't seen it.

But.

Hayabusa Kimura can understand his sister's thoughts, after all, he is seen by his relatives, and he is also a writer.

There will be some shame.

Or, it may also have something to do with the fact that I used to read aloud the essay written by my sister.

It doesn't have anything to do with that, does it......

Probably not......

The pages flipped and he didn't find anything else in it.

But for Kimura Shinki's writing, Kimura Hayabusa has a deep understanding.

The kind of sentences and styles that are not as sophisticated as old writers, but a kind of writing with a touch of sadness and freshness.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, Kimura's voice sounded from the side.

Before he could react, a pair of small white hands had already taken the manuscript from his hand.

"Say no, don't peek." Kimura said fiercely.

Hayabusa Kimura came back to his senses and shrugged his shoulders innocently: "I didn't peek, I asked Mr. Kishida to take it openly." ”

“…… Bastard dude. Kimura Xinxi opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time, and finally could only scold himself viciously.

"Okay, it's going to be published in a journal anyway, even if you don't read it now, you'll see it then."

Hayabusa Kimura raised his hands and comforted.

Kimura Konoki pursed her lips, looked at him with bulging cheeks, and her little nose wrinkled aggrievedly.

"Then, you can't read it now, buy a journal to read."

"Okay." Hayabusa Kimura smiled, and his eyes fell on the signed contract on the table, "If it's signed, I'll give it to Kishida-sensei." ”

"Hmm."

"Manuscript."

"Don't look."

"Don't look."

Kokoki Kimura put the manuscript under the contract and handed it to Hayaya Kimura.

A pair of lovely eyes staring at it.

Seeing this, Hayabusa Kimura couldn't help but want to take the manuscript to it and tease her again.

But after thinking about it, after all, there was still Ryoichi Kishida watching from the side, so he wouldn't tease her.

"Teacher Xiaoyuan and Teacher Orange Cat, the relationship between brother and sister is really good." Ryoichi Kishida took the contract and the manuscript and said with a smile.

"Where's the ......" Kimura complained, her snow-white teeth grinding.

"Brother and sister don't like each other, it's good to quarrel. Otherwise, it's no different from a stranger. Ryoichi Kishida said as he checked what he was holding.

"Do you hear that?" Hayabusa Kimura quipped.

Kimura rolled her eyes and didn't speak.

"Then congratulations to Mr. Orange Cat for officially becoming a contracted writer of the Yuyin Society." Ryoichi Kishida said.

"In the future, I will ask Mr. Kishida for more advice." Kimura Konoki hurriedly replied.

After a simple polite remark, Kishida began to pack the things on the table into his bag.

Taking advantage of this gap, Hayabusa Kimura looked thoughtfully at Kimura Koki, who was full of happiness.

"Xinxi."

"Huh?"

"Passing through the long tunnel at the prefectural border, you will find Snow Country. The bottom of the night turned white......"

After Hayata Kimura said this, his eyes carefully observed the change in the expression on his sister's face.

But......

"Huh? Brother, what are you talking about? ”

Kimura just blinked blankly, puzzled.

"Ah, nothing. It's just that I suddenly remembered a sentence from a book and couldn't help but say it. Hayabusa Kimura shook his head without changing his face.

"Oh." Kimura nodded confusedly, but then she couldn't help but ask, "What kind of book?" Walk through the long tunnel at the county border...... I've never seen a sentence like this before......"

"I don't remember." Hayabusa Kimura shook his head.

"It's a pity." Kimura sighed softly.

Hayabusa Kimura smiled and withdrew his gaze.

But the next moment.

He felt a particularly strong gaze fall on him.

Well......

"Mr. Kishida, if the contract is over, will we be able to leave?"

"Teacher Xiaoyuan." Ryoshi Kishida turned to Hayaya Kimura on one side, his eyes seemed to have some kind of faint grief.

"Hey......" Hayabusa Kimura sensed something was wrong in her heart.

"Teacher Xiaoyuan still remembers when the "Love Letter" was published......

"This, if I'm not mistaken, should have been ...... a few months ago"

"It's been a few months since the final chapter of the love letter was serialized." Ryoichi Kishida sighed lightly.

Gotcha.

Even if Ryoichi Kishida doesn't say it later, how can Hayabusa Kimura not understand what he means.

"Teacher Xiaoyuan, I've been waiting for "Light Things" here, when will I be able to wait for Teacher Xiaoyuan's next book." Ryoichi Kishida said sincerely.

Now in the forum of "Light Things" weekly, a bunch of people ask the publishing house every day about the new work of Xiaoyuan Liuying.

Every time the editorial department of "Light Things" responds, it has not received any news from the teacher in the small courtyard.

At the beginning, everyone was still patiently waiting for the follow-up of Teacher Liuying's new work in the small courtyard.

But this half a year has passed, and there is still no news about the new book in the small courtyard.

Thereupon......

Gradually, some people began to wonder if the small courtyard Liuying had left the Yuyin Society and found another way out.

Some people are still wondering if it was because the small courtyard was too popular before the fireflies, which attracted other writers to be excluded and hidden by the publishing house.

Seeing such comments, Ryoichi Kishida was about to cry.

How could they!

Every time Mr. Koinakain's book is serialized, the sales of "Light Things" Weekly will increase for a while.

They can't wait to make offerings, how can they hide in the snow.

You must know that there are not many famous and powerful writers and teachers who are willing to serialize in literary journals all the time.

Although the majority of people in the forum believe that Xiaoyuan Liuying is still polishing the new book, it has been like this.

It's inevitable that it won't make people think too much.

I even heard that some people have inquired about the news in the editorial department of "Light Things" about whether Teacher Liuying in the small courtyard really left the Yuyin Club.

Even the literary monthly "Hundred Faces" is asking.

"New Book...... I haven't finished writing it yet. Feeling Ryoichi Kishida's expectant gaze, Hayabusa Kimura said stiffly.

"Mr. Kishida, you know, every work takes time to polish, how can you take it out so quickly...... But! Recently, I've been writing a new book in earnest. ”

"If that's the case, there's really no way around it."

Ryoichi Kishida opened his mouth bitterly, and it seemed that Mr. Koina's new book would have to wait for a while.

"The teacher must remember the new book, and I hope it can be completed as soon as possible."

Hayabusa Kimura patted his chest and smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Kishida, I will definitely put things first, and I will write when I go back." ”

"Then please!"

"Can Smoker paint this crater bigger?"

"This?"

"Hmm."

"What about the clouds inside, do you need to readjust it?"

"No, that's fine. As long as the edge of the crater is extended, it doesn't matter if it's a little exaggerated. ”

"Okay, I'll try."

“…………”

Kimura Konoki sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes looked at the old brother standing next to Tomorrow Smoke speechlessly.

things come first......

Scold.

As soon as Sister Xun came back, she pestered Sister Xun to paint.

After silently complaining in her heart, she looked back at the book in her hand.

The appearance of my sister and brother in front of the drawing board is really not enough to see.

It's already noisy to her eyes!!

In the living room of the rental house, the golden yellow of the skyline dusk falls into the house through the glass.

Coincidentally, Hayabusa Kimura and Tomorrow smoke were caged in it.

The drawing board stood in front of the window, and Tomorrow's little feet in white socks were folded and gently hung under the chair.

The plain white long skirt outlines the graceful curves of the body, and a pair of snow-white slender calves are exposed under the light and flowing skirt.

The girl's white little hand was holding a paintbrush, and her clear and bright eyes were staring intently at the drawing board in front of her.

A strand of hair next to her fair and delicate little face hung down on the corners of her mouth that she had carefully pursed, and the sunlight gilded her long eyelashes with a light and soft light.

On the drawing paper of the drawing board is a scene from the "Your Name" anime.

Although just no color, simply sketched with a pencil outline.

Drifting clouds in the crater and the surface of the lake at the bottom......

Hayabusa Kimura stood beside Tomorrow and quietly watched the girl revise the drawings on the drawing paper.

Dawning Studio has just moved from its original location to a new office location, with a rearranged location and recruitment......

It was impossible for Dawning Studios to start animation work immediately.

In addition, the studio has not announced the animation plan for "Your Name", and the script has not been completed.

It is conservatively estimated that the animation will not start until next month.

In order to facilitate the follow-up of Akebo Studio, Hayabusa Kimura completed the script of the animated film, and asked Asuki to serve as his own artist for a short time.

Help to sketch out some of the more important scenes in the animation.

At that time, everyone in Dawning Studio can understand the script setting faster by the drawings.

Fortunately, Tomorrow Smoke readily agreed to Hayabusa Kimura's request.

It's a hopeless animatronic idiot to just hate yourself......

Hayabusa Kimura thought helplessly.

The tip of the nose lingers with the faint fragrance of jasmine on the smoked body.

He turned to look at his girlfriend.

The tip of the pen makes a "rustling" sound on the drawing paper.

The girl's earnest painting seemed to freeze in Kimura's eyes, and the light was so thick that the light reflected from the paper reflected her cheeks white and shiny.

"Is that okay?"

Tomorrow Xun suddenly turned his head, and Yingying's eyes looked at it.

With their eyes staggered, Hayabusa Kimura couldn't help but kiss the girl's smooth little mouth.

I just looked at the drawing paper in front of me.

After some changes by Tomorrow Smoke, the drawings on the drawing board began to overlap with the images in my mind.

"Yes." Hayabusa Kimura said with satisfaction.

Asunha, who was quickly kissed by her boyfriend, was slightly ashamed, and her moist and soft lips were still sipped.

Pretty eyes curled up happily.

I feel like I can draw another one!

"Is there anything else you want to change?" Asuki asked softly.

"This should be pretty much the same, nothing needs to be changed." Hayabusa Kimura stood up straight, his hands on his waist, "exactly as I thought." ”

"Oh......," Tomorrow said with a pout.

"What's wrong?" Hayabusa Kimura heard something inexplicable in the girl's voice.

"Nothing." Tomorrow shook his head with a smile.

Asuki put down the paintbrush in his hand and looked down at his hand.

A patch of black appears on the delicate little finger.

Her eyes flickered, and the girl raised her hand to hold Kimura's too wide palm.

"Huh?" Kimura looked at it in confusion.

I saw the soft and delicate little finger of tomorrow smoke rubbing lightly twice in his palm.

Then he looked up and smiled.

"It's clean."

Hayabusa Kimura was stunned: "......"

The girl smiled, and then carefully removed the paper from the drawing board.

"Give. If you need to change it, call me again. ”

Hayabusa Kimura took the drawing paper, looked at it in front of him, and put it on the computer desk.

"Miss Ohara said she would help me pick up a few variety shows or shows." Tomorrow stood up and leaned over to the young man.

Kimura Hayabusa was too stunned, "...... over there in the movie"

"It's waiting for the end of the filming."

Tomorrow smoked his little hand and explained: "Miss Ohara said that by going on more TV in the future, you can increase your popularity." It's just that it's too long for movies alone. ”

That's right......

When a movie starts, the only places where the artist can be seen by fans are some social platforms and some irrelevant interviews.

Compared with those artists who often show their faces on TV, there are indeed many fewer opportunities to appear.

"Okay, did she say that she asked you to participate in any show?" Hayabusa Kimura opens his phone and takes a picture of the painting on the table.

"Human Observation of the Wooden Flower Terrace."

"Huh......?" (End of chapter)
