Pushing open the door of the conference room, there was a woman in her thirties with short hair sitting inside.
The woman wears thick glasses and looks unattractive, but her super-sized bust adds a lot of points to herself.
She is Izumi Toru's editor, Takahashi Raika.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Takahashi Laika stood up.
"Teacher Aoki, you..."
Seeing Jinguji Kiyohime walking out behind Izumi Toru, Takahashi Raika was suddenly stunned and forgot what she originally wanted to say.
What a nice view……
Izumi Toru knew Jinguji Kiyohime's temperament, so he directly introduced her to Takahashi Raika: "Takahashi-sensei, this is my friend. Just think of her as a secretary who can't speak..."
Jinguji Kiyohime rolled her eyes at him, but was too lazy to refute his words.
Suddenly, the look in Takahashi Raika's eyes towards Jinguji Kiyohime changed from shock to regret.
Such a good-looking person, it's a pity that he is mute...
Could it be that this is the jealousy of beauty?
"When will they arrive?" Izumi Toru asked.
"Soon."
As soon as Takahashi Raika finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the conference room.
Turning his head, there were two men and one woman standing outside the door, with the woman vaguely leading the way.
Izumi Toru pointed at Jinguji Kiyohime and repeated his previous excuse. After receiving a gentle kick and a roll of the eyes from the girl, everyone got to the point.
The woman in the lead, Aoi Hayasaka, said straightforwardly: "Teacher Aoki, integrity is the basis of cooperation. Therefore, before we talk, I need to make it clear that our team has never done animation before."
Just this sentence made Izumi Tetsu stunned.
Turning to look at Takahashi Raika, she lowered her head in shame.
Seeing that Izumi Toru didn't speak, Hayasaka Aoi continued: "If you can accept that your work will be handled by an unknown new production team, then please take a look at this document."
With that said, Hayasaka Aoi pushed a contract to Izumi Toru.
Izumi Toru picked up the contract and read it. As a result, the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.
It's not that the conditions are too bad, but that the conditions are too favorable.
Based on the achievements of his works, he shouldn't have received this treatment.
So, confused, he browsed it a few times again, and then he discovered the clue.
Izumi Toru spread out the contract, pointed to the production time and asked: "Isn't it too hasty in such a short time?"
"Sorry, the management only has so much time left for us." Hayasaka Aoi lowered her head and said.
Hearing these words, Izumi Toru suddenly thought of something. He looked at Takahashi Raika and asked, "Is there something else you are hiding from me?"
Takahashi Raika sighed and told the truth.
"Actually, the original animation plan this time was another one, but due to the teacher's inappropriate remarks, his work could not be released. In order to stop the loss, the ongoing plan had to be terminated... By the way, in
After paying the liquidated damages, the original production team was disbanded due to some reasons."
The conference room became quiet.
Izumi Toru finally understood the whole story.
It turns out that my own works were presented as substitutes.
You want to stop the loss, but you refuse to give a normal production time. Does the work produced in such a rush still have quality?
What's more, even the production team is new...
Is there really nothing wrong with the investor’s head?
but……
This is animated.
Sighing inwardly, Izumi Toru knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention.
"When does it begin?"
"the day after tomorrow."
"Um?"
Hayasaka Aoi asked: "Is there anything wrong?"
My heart, which had no hope for this project, instantly dropped.
If you are in such a hurry, it is probably because you want to catch up with the schedule.
But this way...
Izumi Toru shook his head, and then said: "There is nothing wrong. It's just, what should I do?"
"You don't need to do anything..."
At this time, Takahashi Raika suddenly raised his hand and said: "Well, Mr. Aoki, at least publicize on your blog that your work will be animated."
"I understand, I will do it."
Izumi Toru picked up the pen and prepared to sign the contract.
At this time, Hayasaka Aoi said: "We have sent messages to various voice actor agencies and will start voice actor auditions in the next two days. After all, time is running out."
Izumi Toru raised his head and looked at Hayasaka Aoi with some surprise.
Is this really animated and not an April Fools' joke?
You just told me that I wanted to make it into an animation, but now that the contract hasn’t been signed, you’re telling me to audition directly?
"Teacher Aoki, if you have any questions, just ask."
After thinking for a long time, Izumi Toru asked in as tactful a tone as possible: "I sent a notice in advance, what will happen if we don't reach an agreement?"
"Even if he knew everything in advance, would Mr. Aoki refuse the opportunity to animate the work?" Hayasaka Aoi asked.
Izumi Toru shook his head and wrote his name on the contract.
This is the only point that cannot be refuted.
"I suddenly felt that this animation might surprise people."
"It will surprise everyone." After putting away the contract, Hayasaka Aoi said meaningfully.
"By the way, the voice actors are auditioning the day after tomorrow. Can I come and watch?"
"You are the author, so you can come. If you have a favorite voice actor, you can also give suggestions to the sound supervisor."
Izumi Toru, who had decided not to do anything proactively except taking the blame for the money, just smiled and nodded.
Suggestions?
All you have to do is find someone to sign for me and get everything done. Now tell me, can I still make suggestions?
I wouldn't be surprised if the "True Girl" anime airs tomorrow.
After walking out of the Immortal River Building, Jinguji Kiyohime asked: "Izumi-kun, don't you think it's strange?"
"Strange? Of course it is strange."
"Then why still?"
"No light novel writer can resist the temptation of animation, let alone..." Izumi Toru turned his head and looked at the girl's delicate face and said: "...They gave too much."
If Izumi Toru hadn't had the memory of the car accident ten years ago, he would have even thought that the investor behind it was the original person's biological father...
"But if the animation fails, will it affect [Aokiichi]'s reputation?" The girl frowned slightly and asked.
"Except for the editor and you, no one knows my true identity. Besides," Izumi Toru smiled, "Aoki Kazu is only a small author, what kind of reputation can he have?"
"...Only you feel that way."
After saying this, Jinguji Kiyohime walked forward with a "click, click, click" sound.
Looks a little angry.
Izumi Tetsu jogged two steps to catch up with her.
"Why are you so angry? Anyway, you like to read traditional literature. Since Aokiichi's reputation has been ruined, I will change my pen name to write traditional literature. Wouldn't it be more to your liking?"
Jinguji Kiyohime's footsteps stopped.
After looking at each other for a while, she took the lead and looked away.
"Let's... go pick out a tie."
"Animation that is doomed to fail is not something worth celebrating no matter how you look at it, right?"
"If I say it's worth it, it's worth it."
Looking down, the girl's crystal clear earlobes were slightly red.
