A girl.
They are all much more emotional.
When the girl first heard Hachiko's story at Kasumigaoka, she cried very hard.
Waiting and waiting, waiting and waiting
Life just slowly passes by like that...
Even death refuses to leave.
How foolish...
Why don't you understand?
Xiao Ba, that person has been taken advantage of.
Even now, Kasumigaoka doesn't want to speculate too much about this story.
Every time she thought about it, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Perhaps, but... sometimes Hachiko might actually know too."
Aoba sighed softly.
He's seen a lot.
He no longer wanted to think about many things.
Only occasionally, I can't help but feel sentimental late at night.
Sometimes, even knowing someone won't come back, you still hold onto hope.
"Waiting for someone for ten years..."
The girl seemed to be thinking about something.
She murmured to herself softly, as if she had a thousand things to say.
But in the end, he quietly took it back.
"let's go."
Aoba was a little worried that if the girl stayed here any longer, it would affect her upcoming meeting with the editor.
"Ah."
Kasumigaoka nodded silently.
Perhaps it was the sadness of seeing Hachiko, or perhaps it was the nervousness of meeting the editor.
She couldn't help but follow in Aoba's footsteps.
The two were very close to each other.
Their hands seemed to be drawn to each other as they walked, and it was unclear how many times they had touched.
Aoba stared intently at the road ahead.
If you take the opportunity to hold hands at this moment, the girl will definitely not refuse.
It's just that I do this when the other person is feeling down.
He doesn't want to do that.
Just like before with Yamabuki Otome.
The kind of affection he desires is straightforward and unambiguous.
Before fully understanding the other person's thoughts, one will not rush into things for the sake of emotional or physical needs.
Simply.
The two of them continued walking.
The girl's mood seemed to have improved after interacting with Aoba.
Along the way, I also took the opportunity to introduce Aoba to the publisher of the manuscript he had submitted, Shinazugawa Bunko.
It is considered one of the three major archives of this country.
Moreover, it is the most user-friendly library for newcomers.
The previous editor, Shioya, had to hand over Kasumigaoka to a new editor because he needed to work with another well-known author.
According to her understanding, the new editor seems to be named Machida Wanko.
She is a female college graduate who has just graduated.
This put Aoba at ease a little.
"Which coffee shop did you and Editor Shio meet at?"
Aoba and Kasumigaoka Utaha had arrived in front of the Shinazugawa Bunko Building.
The library building is located directly on the commercial street, which shows that it is indeed wealthy.
"This is it."
Kasumigaoka glanced at her phone, then led Aoba, swaying left and right, into a coffee shop.
This coffee shop seems unremarkable.
But Aoba paused, stunned, when he saw the name of the coffee shop.
Okay!
How could I run into this?!
The sign above the coffee shop looks very stylish.
"Antiques?"
Aoba smiled.
An antique-style coffee shop located in the heart of Anding District.
Who would have thought that all the staff inside were ghouls?
However, the people here are actually quite nice.
Didn't think much about it.
Kasumigaoka then led Aoba inside.
The interior decoration is retro yet perfectly complements modern craftsmanship.
At this time, there weren't many people in the shop.
By the window.
A mature man who looked to be in his forties smiled when he saw Kasumigaoka.
"This way."
"there."
Kasumigaoka walked over with Aoba.
This middle-aged man is Mr. Shioya, the former editor of Kasumigaoka.
The short-haired woman in office attire next to him was Ms. Machida, the editor of the work being handed over.
"Is this Kasumi Shiko-sensei's boyfriend?"
Machida Wanko is quite outgoing.
"Machida, this is someone's privacy, don't pry into it."
Mr. Shioya turned his head and faced Machida-michi.
Then she looked towards Kasumigaoka and Aoba:
"Ms. Kasumi Shiko, Machida is a new employee, but he is quite capable. I'll leave the rest of the time for you to talk."
He was the editor of Kasumigaoka Utaha before.
Being able to recommend a new editor would already be a great help.
After all, there is competition among editors.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Shioya."
Kasumigaoka nodded slightly.
She was still very grateful to the salt.
"No need, you guys chat first, I still have work to do."
Salt didn't say much and left the coffee shop directly.
As Aoba was leaving, she noticed that he lingered at the front desk for a while, presumably to pay for both of their meals.
Compared to the very young Machida Wanko, the other party is clearly quite competent.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
Machida Wanko glanced at the two of them with an embarrassed look in her eyes.
She seemed to understand, but didn't say anything more.
As an editor, his hasty apology was a great gesture of respect to Kasumigaoka.
"It's alright, let's get down to business."
Kasumigaoka waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, and then began to discuss serious matters.
The discussion mainly revolved around the subsequent works of Kasumigaoka, as well as issues such as revisions and contracts.
Aoba listened silently from the side.
Although he didn't quite understand how light novels operated, he did understand some basic business matters.
After listening to Machida Wanko's explanation, there wasn't anything negative about Kasumigaoka.
to the end.
Machida Wanko produced a contract.
