As the seasons change, the temperature gradually cools, and the scorching heat over Tokyo is covered in cold air.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the young women walking the streets, still wearing short skirts that are no different from summer.

Jingu Terakitsuki tightened the scarf around his neck, put his hands in his coat pockets, stood silently in front of the platform, and got on the train alone.

When you arrive in Shinjuku, follow the route you remember, come to a building, and check in at the front desk.

Pretended not to understand the front desk lady's dark gaze, and silently bowed his head and waited.

Not long after, a young man wearing glasses walked out of the elevator, Jingu Terakitsuki stepped forward, greeted each other, and then took the elevator upstairs together.

"Jingu Temple-kun, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Mr. Natsuki."

"Seems to have been in the editorial office since you graduated from high school."

"Well, I heard that there was a named job, so I rushed here immediately, thank you very much Mr. Natsuki."

Jingu Temple Moon is not short of money, but he is indeed not rich, in addition to studying and reading, he occasionally receives some private illustrations in the name of an illustrator on the Internet as a living allowance.

As for his parents, since he went to college, he has never asked his family for money again.

But Jingu Terakitsuki is finally still a student, and in terms of tuition, he still accepts assistance from his family.

He wanted to be more independent, so when Yuta Natsuki contacted him and a writer teacher named him, Jingu Terakitsuki immediately rushed to the editorial office.

"Well, let's wait for the teacher to come, it's almost time to make an appointment."

"Yes."

After arriving at the editorial office, Yuta Natsuki led Jingu Terexugi to the other room where the guests were entertained, and the woman in the OL costume brought him hot coffee, and Jingu Terakitsuki nodded and thanked him.

"Jinguji-kun, now a college student?"

"Yes, in my first year at the University of Tokyo."

"It's true that you are young and promising, and you will definitely choose a great career in the future."

Jingu Siyue didn't know how to answer, thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know much about the future, but like a headless fly, I absorb some knowledge that I don't know if I can use it in the future." ”

"You're still so young, you have a lot of opportunities in front of you, and you're so talented."

"Thanks, if only that were the case."

Blowing on the hot air and taking a sip of coffee, Jingu Terakitsuki asked, "That...... Mr. Natsuki, who is the teacher who named me this time? ”

"Well, you'll find out when you see him later."

Yuta Natsuki picked up the mobile phone on the table and glanced at it: "The teacher seems to have arrived, I'll go down and pick it up." ”

Watching Yuta Natsuki leave, Jingu Terakitsuki sat quietly in place and took out his tablet from his school bag, which contained all the paintings he had painted over the years.

Considering that this was the first time he had received a job assignment, the writer teacher should have known him, and he selected some works with different styles, wondering if he could use them as a reference later.

"Jingu Temple-kun, I've been waiting for a long time."

Hearing Yuta Natsuki's voice, Jingu Teraritsuki immediately turned off the tablet and stood up to look at him.

Next to Yuta Natsuki, followed by a tall and thin young man about thirty years old, when Jingu Terakitsuki saw his appearance, he was immediately stunned.

When Jingu Teratsuki was a high school student, he had a few encounters with this teacher, and he borrowed his umbrella on a rainy day, which he still keeps at his parents' house.

"Hello, Jinguji sensei."

"Hello, Tozuka-sensei."

There is no need to introduce himself, Jingu Terzuki can naturally recognize who he is, he originally thought that he would name him, only a little-known rookie writer, but he didn't expect it to be a writer teacher who has been famous for a long time.

But it didn't matter to Jingu Terakitsuki, whoever it was, he just had to get the job done seriously.

After that, there was no much greeting, and went straight to the main topic of discussion.

Since Totsuka's debut, he has served as the exclusive artist for his works, and has always been a big illustrator in the circle, Mr. Fukasaki.

This time, the name is not because of a new work.,It's because of the original artist.,Stopped the work at hand.,Jingu Temple Moon guessed.,Maybe it's related to health reasons.,Otherwise, the illustrator wouldn't be changed easily.。

But this is not what Jingu Temple Moon needs to care about, to take over the works that are serialized to the middle of the way, the most important condition for choosing a painter must be similar in style.

Jinguji doesn't have any significant features, but since its debut, it's been known for its varied style and ability to imitate other people's styles, so it's not an incomprehensible thing to receive this kind of work.

And Mr. Fukasaki, as a big man in the industry, Jingu Teraki naturally has a lot of experience in imitation.

Therefore, after the initial negotiation, neither the author nor the artist expressed any objection to this cooperation, and the rest only needs to sign the contract according to the procedure.

When leaving the editorial office, to the surprise of Jingu Terakitsuki, Totsuka asked him if he had any reservations for Yunyun next, and it was inconvenient for Fang to go to dinner together, and it seemed that the main purpose was to talk about some things about work.

Jingu Terakitsuki originally planned to go back to the apartment, and today was Alice Arisugawa cooking, but thinking that this job was a hard-won opportunity, if it was done well enough, he might be able to receive more work in the future, so he nodded and agreed.

Just like the rumors, Totsuka doesn't have a driver's license, so of course he doesn't have a car, so he takes a taxi directly.

Of course, it can't be Jinguji monthly payment.

Jingu Teratsuki was the first time he had come to an izakaya in Golden Street, and a noisy place like this was really not suitable for a quiet person like him.

I thought that Mr. Totsuka next to him was a person from the road, but I didn't expect that under that cold face, there seemed to be another side hidden.

After entering the izakaya, I went straight to the corner of the store, and after placing a simple order, Jingu Teratsuki took out his tablet and continued to discuss work.

Jingu Terakitsuki is a student who has never been out of society after all, and as soon as he comes up, he goes straight to the topic of work, which is somewhat inconsistent with the logic of social people, but Totsuka and he is not excluded, so the discussion went quite smoothly.

However, Jingu Teratsuki always felt that something was wrong, and he had the illusion of being spied on.

No, it shouldn't be said to be an illusion, someone is definitely staring at him, or rather, staring at Kazu Totsuka in front of him.

He looked around, and finally found the source of his sight, and quietly skimmed it over there, and found five pairs of piercing eyes.

However, there was a girl with her back to him, and Jingu Teratsuki couldn't see her face, but recognized her hair.

Even in the crowd, it stands out, as if it was born and is the focus of the world.

The familiar azure color.

so that he can't take his eyes off.
