I don't know who said this sentence-

Creation is like having a baby.

The process is difficult and painful.

As a comic editor, Koharu Hosokawa believes in this sentence very much.

Because she had read many comic authors for a long time before she could submit an original manuscript with difficulty, the difficult process was no less than having a child.

But in Higashinoji, Hosokawa Koharu had never seen a pig liver look similar to other authors who had a "hard childbirth".

Yes.

Higashinoji didn't seem to be giving birth at all... He felt like he was reaching out and he took it out, and the formed work came out. He didn't have to be busy with "prenatal education conception" like other authors, and repeatedly asked the editor as a doctor.

Especially this time...

Higashinoji's production process this time was too fast. He took out his work in one week and felt like he was "creating it all at once when the editor was not paying attention."

You should know that the ending work of his last work, "Unnatural Death", has not been completed yet.

"Teacher Higashino...have you really drawn the draft of the comic storyboard?"

Hosokawa Koharu sat down and quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart.

No matter how fast Higashinoji was born, she had to perform her duties as an editor.

She also served as the editor of Higashinoji for two years. The sudden attack on the other party was no longer as it used to catch her off guard.

"I've drawn it. I hope that editor Hosokawa can come to my house in the near future. I want to discuss some things with editor Hosokawa about new works."

"Okay, I understand... In fact, I have time today. I wonder if Teacher Higashino can take the time?"

After confirming the itinerary, Koharu Hosokawa opened his mouth.

"Then I'll trouble Hosokawa editor."

The two of them finished discussing the new work in just a few words.

This speed made the editors next to them envious...

When I was in charge of Higashinoji, I couldn't receive the manuscript for four or five days, and I couldn't see Higashinoji...

As a result, Hosokawa Koharu... Higashinoji actually called.

This made the editor of Oshima couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

He increasingly felt that the reason was that he was a male editor.

Hosokawa Koharu didn't care much about the colleague's opinion. After she made an appointment with Higashinoji, she looked at her watch and continued to lower her head to work.

It was not until after three o'clock in the afternoon that Hosokawa Koharu picked up the briefcase on the other side and walked out.

About half an hour later, Hosokawa Koharu came to Higashinoji's apartment room and rang the doorbell.

After a few seconds, the door was opened.

At the same time, a very familiar face of Hosokawa Koharu was shown in front of her.

"Good afternoon, Chiaki." Hosokawa Koharu greeted him politely, looked inside, and asked casually: "I'll come here to find Teacher Higashino to receive the article..."

Before she finished speaking, she found something was wrong.

Chihaki Higashino in front of him did not call Higashi, "Asia, Koharu, who has an office relationship with you," as usual, and called Higashinoji.

Instead, he blinked his big peach blossom eyes and looked at her very seriously for a while: "Are you here to find Asi?"

What's going on again?

Hosokawa Koharu had a question mark on his face.

She looked question marks on her face, while Chihaya Higashino on the other side was a little incredible—

Another very beautiful girl!

As early as when she went to Keito School to study, she had already keenly realized that her younger brother's interpersonal relationships were not normal.

The most important point is...

There are so many beautiful girls!

There are really too many!

Not to mention Konomi Lianghua's girlfriend.

Fujiwara Aoi and Takahashi Yumi each have their own advantages, one is quiet and steady, and the other is lively and vibrant.

There are already many of these trio... But now another woman with a capable civil servant type has come up.

This made Chihaki Higashino secretly sigh that his younger brother did have two tricks, allowing so many women to surround him...

It also made Chihaki Higashino worry whether his younger brother would become the kind of boy who showed mercy everywhere.

If it were Chihaki Higashino before, I would definitely not think Higashinoji was that kind of person.

But now she can't understand Higashinoji.

He is especially good at making girls happy. Even her extremely smart sister was coaxed by Higashinoji... Then let alone others.

So when she saw Koharu Hosokawa for the first time, she became a little alert.

But hearing the other party can call his own name... Chihaki Higashino probably should have a good relationship with him.

"As is in the living room. Please come in."

Chihiro Higashino looked up and down, and reached out and said.

"Ah... I'm sorry Miss Chiba."

Listening to Higashino Chihae using honorifics skillfully, Hosokawa Koharu subconsciously used honorifics.

"It's enough to call me Chiao." Chiao Higashino grabbed her head - the other party called her "Miss Chiao", which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"OK."

Although Koharu Hosokawa was full of strangeness, he still followed Higashino Chihaya into the room.

At this time, Higashinoji was waiting for her in the living room.

As soon as he saw Higashinoji, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but smile.

This smile comes from the heart, just like an old friend meeting, and it is natural to smile.

But the bright smile of Hosokawa Koharu entered Higashino Chihaya's eyes, but she felt something was wrong.

This is so happy to smile...

While preparing tea next to her, she secretly looked here.

Chihaki Higashino's gaze naturally could not escape the awareness of Hosokawa Koharu - she had been working hard for two years in society, and was no longer the kind of novice she used to be. Of course, this kind of scrutiny gaze could be noticed.

So she approached Higashinoji and did not ask about the comic draft storyboard at the first time, but asked him directly.

"Teacher Higashino, is something wrong with Chibayashi? It feels very different."

"This matter is a long story."

Higashinoji did not expect that Hosokawa Koharu didn't care about the draft storyboard at the first time, but instead cared about his family, so he subconsciously smiled and explained to her.

This includes the treatment process of Higashino Chihae, who is now basically able to adapt to social situations.

"So that's what it is..."

Hosokawa Koharu nodded his head thoughtfully, and then smiled at Chihaki Higashino.

Chiba Higashino on the other side also smiled and nodded at her when he saw this.

It is a good thing that the other party can recover smoothly, and Hosokawa Koharu is sincerely happy for Higashinoji.

She will introduce herself to Higashino Chihaya again to avoid some possible misunderstandings.

As for now...

"So, Mr. Higashino, can I give you a little visit to your newly drawn comic draft storyboard?"

Hosokawa Koharu asked.

Higashinoji's current status in Urashima Publishing House is now extraordinary. After she saw his comic draft storyboard here, she would take her to Urashima Publishing House for research with other editors and even editors.

It's no exaggeration to say.

If Higashinoji goes to Urashima Publishing House for a walk, some new editors who have just entered the industry and are not well-qualified will still stand up and bow half to him, and call out "Teacher Higashino" respectfully.

This is the situation of ‘Author Influence Press’.

But there are so few authors who can get to this point. It is very rare to publish one or two more years.

Not to mention that paper magazines are always on the decline now.

Hosokawa Koharu made a request, and Higashinoji was naturally not hesitant and simply took out the draft storyboard of "Hansawa Naoki".

When he saw this familiar draft storyboard, Hosokawa Koharu was slightly stunned: "This is... the draft storyboard that Teacher Higashino had shown me after the end of "Midnight Bell"?"

"Yes." Higashinoji nodded with a smile.
