Before receiving the call, Hosokawa Koharu was in a pretty good mood.

But after answering the phone, she felt a little lost. It took a long time to understand the meaning of Higashiji's words: "Teacher Higashino, what do you mean is that you plan to finish?"

According to her relationship with Higashinoji, she usually calls each other "you" and "me". This time she uses the honorific "you" directly, and you can imagine her current chaos.

It was indeed quite chaotic... because she was discussing with the editor of Oshima in the morning whether Higashinoji would finish the book. At that time, Hosokawa Koharu was still lucky, but in the afternoon, Higashinoji gave her a home run.

The ball was too fast, and Koharu Hosokawa couldn't catch it.

"Yes, I'm really planning to finish it." Higashino replied with a smile.

"Unnatural Death" has entered the final stage, and there are about five chapters left... In other words, a single volume can be finished, and it will be completed in just over a month.

As for the completion of national comics like "Unnatural Death", at least one month has to be spared for Hosokawa Koharu and his editorial department to prepare.

Fortunately, Hosokawa Koharu on the other side has been working with Higashinoji for too long, and she is more likely to accept Higashinoji's idea of ​​some fantastic ideas than others.

She thought about it and spoke on her own initiative: "...Teacher Higashino, although you have told you many times, you may be a little bored, but I still tell you the gains and losses."

She couldn't stop Higashinoji from finishing it, after all, it was Higashinoji's wish.

But as an editor, you must tell Higashinoji about the gains and losses one by one, so that you can fulfill your work responsibilities.

"The situation of "Unnatural Death" cannot be compared with the previous "Midnight Bell" and "The Winner Is Justice". It is the first work under your command to rush into the sales ceiling of Japanese comics."

Hosokawa Koharu continued: "So, it is not something I can decide in one sentence to finish "Unnatural Death"... I hope Mr. Higashino can understand this."

Higashinoji naturally understood what the other party said, "Unnatural Death" is now the only national-level comic of Urashima Publishing House. With a movie "Unnatural Death", Urashima Publishing House's "Abnormal Death" can be said to have earned a lot of attention from Japanese comic lovers.

To be honest, even if you don’t read comics, you don’t know the comic magazine “Aversion to Chill”, but you will definitely be familiar with the name “Unnatural Death”.

This is like the Japanese "Dragon Cat" and "Cherry Maruko".

The work "Unnatural Death" is no longer just about Higashinoji, but now it can affect the entire Urashima Publishing House.

It's not that easy to finish.

If Higashinoji insists on completing it, the upper level may put pressure on Hosokawa Koharu.

Maybe even the team leader who has not yet sat in the warm position will be "abdicated and given up" to the wise.

but...

"If Teacher Higashino wants to finish it, he still needs to help."

Hosokawa Koharu shook his head and thought so.

She didn't know what other editors had to do with her own authors? But she had a half-life relationship with Higashinoji.

Can Koharu Hosokawa reach this day? At least two-thirds of the credit can be attributed to the good works that Higashinoji keeps producing.

Compared with her business partners, she and Higashinoji are more like relationships between relatives and friends.

What is the matter of burning bridges across the river? No matter what others think? At least Koharu Hosokawa cannot continue to do it.

"So I have to ask Mr. Higashino again... Are you really planning to finish "Unnatural Death"?"

Hosokawa Koharu did not force Higashinoji, but asked rationally.

"Yeah. I'm still planning to finish... But editor Hosokawa? There's not much problem with you, right?"

Higashinoji asked again after answering.

Hosokawa Koharu has a different position from himself. If he insists on completing the situation, Hosokawa Koharu on the other side may have to be under a lot of pressure.

"My side..." Hosokawa Koharu paused? Then he laughed: "No problem. How could there be a problem? Don't worry, I'll negotiate for you later, Teacher Higashino."

"Yeah?"

"Yes, the complete version of "Unnatural Death"... This is a total of fifty episodes. The result is pretty good this time? Teacher Higashino? At least it has reached the length of a comic book."

Hosokawa Koharu smiled and joked, shifting the topic.

"It's pretty good, at least it's progress." Higashinoji echoed.

The two of them chatted for a while, and then Koharu Hosokawa hung up the phone and stood up at the same time? Looking at the editor-in-chief's room.

Her heart was filled with an upset...

Is "Unnatural Death" scrambled into the comic ceiling really that easy to finish?

She was a little unconfident, but she still planned to give it a try...

Thinking of this? Hosokawa Koharu stood up and walked into the editor-in-chief's room.

At the same time? Higashinoji also put down his phone and was a little unsure about the ending of "Unnatural Death".

He is not an employee of the editorial department? But he also knows that "Unnatural Death" is very important to Urashima Publishing House, which is now missing high-quality comics.

Similarly? Higashinoji also knows that the pillar comics such as "Naughter", "Pirate" and "Dragon Ball" in their previous lives have been more or less blocked by the publishing house.

After all, when you reach this level, your comics are no longer your comics to a certain extent - this is very normal.

"I hope editor Hosokawa will go well." Higashinoji murmured.

After dealing with the matter of "Unnatural Death" to be completed, Higashinoji did not hesitate, and then lay down to rest after a simple wash.

I will go to see the windmill tomorrow... I will go back to Tokyo the day after tomorrow, of course I have to raise my spirits.

The days ahead will pass very quickly.

It's nothing more than rest, get up, and turn to see the Aomori Windmill Group.

But to be honest, the windmill here is quite different from the windmills that Higashinoji remembers.

It is the standard metal white windmill with narrow blades and looks very thin and sturdy. It does not come with a wind wheel like a Dutch windmill, and it also has its own body, which looks thick.

But even so, the densely erected windmills made Higashinoji feel very good - at least there are many, and it looks quite satisfying.

Chihaya Higashino was also very happy, and took a photo with Yumi Takahashi and the others, looking very excited.

After visiting Aomori Windmill, Higashinoji and others had lunch in the local area and experienced the fun of picking apples before leaving for the hotel.

That's it, but in fact, Higashinoji is the only one who returns to the hotel.

The remaining girls, including Chihaki Higashino, rushed out together to happily buy specialties from Aomori Prefecture.

After all, there is still one night, and their desire to shop has long been unable to suppress.

Higashinoji returned to the hotel alone and started packing things.

Change clothes, mobile phone charger, check wallet, check for omissions and fill in...

After Higashinoji's inspection was completed, Higashino Chihaya and the others almost all came back.

Among them, Konoe Ryoka and Fujiwara Aoi bought the least things, which can be regarded as the simplest.

Because Fujiwara Aoi's glasses were not enough, she changed into new lenses and bought some apple-filled snacks from Aomori Prefecture, preparing to take them home to her parents.

Konomiya Lianghua changed into a new bra and bought some snacks for the car... She didn't buy any specialties, but just secretly looked at Higashinoji's bag to a little.

I guess my breasts are a little bigger, so I'm embarrassed.

But Higashinoji obviously doesn't care.

They are all lying on the same bed, and they usually sleep in their arms, so they can count the places they should touch or rub. Dodging is not very meaningful.

However, considering Kome Ryokai's face, Higashinoji turned to Chihaki Higashino and Yumi Takahashi.

They were quite exaggerated, carrying large bags of small bags in their hands.

Yumi Takahashi was coaxed by the store and bought a lot of specialties, such as snake oil, and salted vegetables...

But these are nothing.

The most important thing is that she also bought a mascot puppet of Aomori Prefecture.

This thing is more or less strange than Kumamoto. It has an apple flower in Aomori Prefecture on its head, and its whole body is blue, and its tail is also beech leaves...it looks very strange overall.

At least Higashinoji doesn't think this thing is cute.

However, Yumi Takahashi was in a good mood and held this thing and said she would sleep with it at night.

As for Chihaki Higashino on the other side.

She looked a little proud. When she saw Higashiji look over, she showed Higashiji what was in the bag, and she was still muttering: "Look, Asi, this is for you to eat, this is for you to wear, this is for you to use..."

To be honest, Higashinoji is quite grateful for his sister's intentions.

But... he obviously can't use some things.

What cartoon apple-patterned boxer underwear, what apple-scented soap...What are these things?

Higashinoji felt that Aomori Prefecture probably couldn't get along with the apple, and everything was about to be involved in the apple.

Obviously no boys will wear boxer underwear with an apple pattern.

They sorted out their own things until midnight. During this period, Higashinoji was not easy to help. After all, some of their personal belongings were not easy for him, a boy to see them.

That's it, time comes to the last day.

Higashinoji retreated and consciously carried the specialties of large and small bags and headed straight to the station.

Perhaps it was too late yesterday, and several girls from Komwei Lianghua fell asleep and rested as soon as they got in the car.
To be continued...
