To be honest, when Suzuki Yu said this, his tone was actually very calm.

Rather than provoking Higashinoji, it is more like she is telling a fact.

Yes... there is no way Higashinoji can beat her.

This is a full month and a half time difference, and Higashinoji is not a god.

If we use long-distance running as an analogy, Higashino asked her to run for forty-five days before setting off.

After such a long time, Higashino wanted to catch up with her and overtake her...?

Do you really think Higashinoji drives a sports car?

After all, there are so many things that can be prepared in one and a half months.

Cases, techniques, evidence, and common sense for drawing lawyer cartoons...

Higashino only has two weeks, what can he find out?

You probably don’t even know common sense, right?

Suzuki Ha has also said before that she is a fan of Tonoji - this is not a courtesy, but the truth.

Her family bought a lot of single copies of "The Ring" just to contribute sales to Higashinoji.

Because "Midnight Ring" is a work that she likes and admires.

After all, if you can't compare, you can't compare. Suzuki Yu has never been stubborn.

But this time it's different.

This time, Tonoji really didn't have any ability to compare with her.

That's why she can make such a conclusion.

But after hearing Suzuki Yu's words, Higashinoji just smiled in the end: "It's okay, what if we win?"

What if I win——?

Hearing these words, Suzuki Yu directly announced to Higashinoji when he left: "Then I will beat you to pieces, Higashino-sensei, and then let you prepare the new manga seriously."

She was angry.

The reason for being angry is also very childish.

What if you win?

You are simply making fun of me. How can such good luck happen?

Why do you beat me?

Suzuki Ha's character is relatively honest and she usually doesn't care much about other things. Only in comics, she is really serious.

So she ran all the way, followed by the panting Furuta Shinji: "Wait a minute... Teacher Shumotofuji, what are you so anxious to do?"

"I'm going back to drawing comics."

Suzuki Yu was really angry. She glanced at the faculty and staff office behind her, and her tone was a bit unbelievable: "Why do you think he can beat me? Editor-in-chief Furuta."

"...It's better if you don't say this..." Furuta Shinci shook his head, a little speechless.

Originally, Suzuki Yu had promised not to talk nonsense after meeting Higashinoji.

What's the result?

He even said words like "beat him to pieces".

Shinji Furuta was really in despair.

It’s really hard to be the editor-in-chief of Fuji Publishing House.

I feel like my hair is falling out.

Afterwards, he would make a phone call to Higashino to apologize.

but.

Seeing Suzuki Yu's confident look and what she said to Higashinoji just now, he gained a little more confidence.

Mr. Higashino from Urashima Publishing House is certainly great.

But their Fuji Publishing House's tree vines are not weak either.

And we here have been preparing for so long in advance - can your grass platform team still knock us down?

He gained confidence and encouraged Suzuki Ha by a few words, asking her to work harder and try to defeat Higashino Tsukasa and elevate his Fuji Publishing House to the top three manga publishing houses, replacing Urashima Publishing House.

On the other side, Higashinoji was also dumbfounded.

He didn't know what Suzuki Yu wanted to do with him at first.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually persuaded me to give up.

However, there was no provocation in the other party's tone, so Higashinoji didn't pay much attention.

He will still follow his own plan and release it when it should be released.

And he doesn’t think that “The Winner Is Justice” can’t beat the opponent’s comics.

In addition, the other party has declared war. Although Higashinoji doesn't care, of course he still has a competitive spirit.

Let's take a look at Urashima Publishing and Fuji Publishing next week...the lawyers there will be more attractive to readers.

...

In the next week, Higashinoji did not go to Konoe Ryoka, who had already confirmed the relationship between man and woman. Instead, after explaining some reasons to her, he devoted himself completely to the creation of "The Winner is Justice".

Komemon Kensuke, who did whatever it took to win, upheld justice and mortgaged his real estate for 30 million yen, just to ask Komemon Kensuke to help take over the case...

The whole plot went on smoothly.

The foreshadowing of various reversals has been laid out one by one.

Then--

"What? Mr. Higashino, you have already finished drawing "The Winner is Justice"?"

Hosokawa Koharu was a little confused when she received the call. She glanced at the time.

This... there are still three or four days before the deadline.

Originally, she thought that Higashinoji was going to finish the work before the deadline, but she didn't expect that Higashinoji would finish it today.

"Okay, okay... I'll come over right now to pick up the manuscript, please wait a moment." Hosokawa Koharu hung up the phone and left in a hurry.

Watching Hosokawa Koharu's leaving figure, several editors who had been paying attention came together and started discussing in a low voice.

"Did Higashino Printer deliver the manuscript so quickly? Isn't it too fast this time? I heard that the first chapter of his comic has forty or fifty pages."

One of the editors sighed and said.

"Otherwise, why would we call him a printer? Isn't the meaning very clear? Even printers are not as fast as him."

The editor next to me looked unperturbed.

"I heard that Higashino-sensei is drawing a lawyer-type comic this time. I don't know how the final product will turn out. And isn't Mr. Shumotofuji also going to serialize a new work? They really collided this time."

After all, he is a pillar author, and whenever there is any disturbance, it attracts many editors to discuss.

However, this discussion did not last long.

Hosokawa Koharu came back after being out for more than forty minutes. When she came back, she also brought the paper bag of manuscripts that Higashinoji gave her.

"Editor Hosokawa, could you please print out a copy of Mr. Higashino's manuscript for us to look at?" An editor who has a good relationship with Hosokawa Koharu made a request.

They were all very curious about what Higashinoji's completely transformed work would look like.

"It doesn't matter whether it's troublesome or not. It's good to have everyone help me review the manuscript and brainstorm ideas." Hosokawa Koharu agreed without hesitation.

What she said was also true.

For her to review Higashinoji's manuscript alone would inevitably involve some subjective factors and cannot be completely neutral.

In addition, the editor-in-chief Urashima will definitely need a copy of the manuscript, so it will be easy to print it without any trouble at all.

She quickly printed out the manuscript and distributed it to the editors without forgetting to send a copy to the editor-in-chief Urashima who looked over from time to time.

"Chief Editor Urashima, this is the manuscript of "The Winner is Justice" written by Mr. Higashino." Koharu Hosokawa handed the manuscript of "The Winner is Justice" to Editor-in-Chief Urashima.

"Really...?" Editor-in-Chief Urashima coughed dryly. Looking at the manuscript of "The Winner Is Justice" in front of him, he felt inexplicably nervous.

This time it's not just a simple comic.

It is also related to the "death battle" between Urashima Publishing and Fuji Publishing.

He hadn't slept well in the past few days. When he lay down, his mind was filled with the maniacal smile of Furuta Shinji's big bald head in front of him - Higashino Tsukasa's violent death and being crushed by Toki Shinji's new manga.

Every time he dreamed of this, he would suddenly wake up from his dream, and then he would feel sad - he couldn't help it, it was indeed his mistake to dig up the tree vine.

Likewise, Editor-in-Chief Urashima also wanted to kick Furuta Shinji’s ass hard and let him know that without Kukimoto Fuji, Urashima Publishing would still have Higashinoji.

Because people are selfish and naturally have tempers.

Editor-in-chief Urashima certainly doesn’t want to see his nemesis have the last laugh.
