Chapter 8. Cover of "Midnight Bell"(2/2)
No matter how sideways I turn or how I look away, the woman in the comic... is always staring at me——
Creepy!
"Editor Hosokawa, what's wrong? Is it the comic "Midnight Ring" that's too bad?"
The male editor next to him couldn't help but tilt his head towards me.
His name is Oshima Sapien, he is a very courageous editor, and he is also very serious about his work.
Just now, after he and Hosokawa Koharu laughed and joked about the author of "The Ring" who boasted about not drafting, he got immersed in his work.
Later he heard the sound of Hosokawa Koharu smashing the manuscript.
It seems that this comic called "Midnight Bell" is so bad that Hosokawa Koharu's face turned blue with anger, but——
"Even so, don't destroy the original manuscript. The original manuscript is the hard work of every comic author. Even if it is really bad, there is no need to destroy the original manuscript."
Oshima Sapien, with some airs of an old-timer, took over the manuscript of "The Ring".
He was also a little curious.
Although Koharu Hosokawa only took office last month, she was also selected as the editor of Urashima Publishing and she still has good vision.
To be able to make the editor of Urashima Publishing so angry...how bad is this manga? Not really.
He, a senior, became interested and planned to teach the ignorant junior a lesson while reading the manuscript, so that she would not be so impulsive in the future and destroy the manuscript if she disagreed with her.
"It's not like that, Oshima-senpai...there's something wrong with this comic."
Seeing that Sapien Oshima seemed to want to read this over-the-top comic, Hosokawa Koharu hurriedly reached for it as he spoke.
As a result, Homo Oshima dodged and dodged.
He looked a little amused: "Of course I know there's something wrong with this comic."
Isn’t this nonsense? If there was nothing wrong with the manuscript, why would Hosokawa Koharu be so angry? He would even smash the manuscript so hard.
"I'm just a little curious about how bad this manuscript is. Editor Hosokawa, you're so angry that your face is turning blue. Could it be that someone mistook the funny comics for horror comics and submitted them to our publishing house?"
Sapien Oshima said, turning to the first page.
His eyes casually glanced at the cover of the first page.
Then his eyes became fixed and he couldn't move his eyes away.
"..." Hosokawa Koharu.
Hosokawa Koharu stopped talking and just looked at him.
After a few seconds, she keenly noticed that cold sweat was breaking out on Oshima Sapiens' face.
After a few more seconds, Homo sapiens Oshima's arms and legs began to tremble, and his breathing became rapid.
Another two or three seconds passed, and Oshima Sapien's eyes were raised in fear. He glanced around confusedly, as if to confirm his environment.
Then he lowered his head and continued looking.
Shake... shake, shake... shake, shake, shake, shake...
It was like an earthquake. It shook twice at the beginning, and then the whole body began to tremble crazily and uncontrollably.
Then, Oshima Sapien's face turned livid, with an expression as if he had seen something terrifying, and he smashed the manuscript of "The Ring" on the table!
Bang!
The strength was so great that even Hosokawa Koharu trembled.
After doing this action, Oshima Sapien's mouth began to turn pale with fright, and he felt like he was about to cry. He looked at Hosokawa Koharu:
"There's nothing to be afraid of, Editor Hosokawa...you're still making a bit of a fuss."
After saying this, he turned around with an alarmingly fast movement, looked at the male editor who was standing next to the big TV, looking up at the news from time to time and shouted:
"Can you please turn off the TV?"
The sound was like a goose being strangled by its neck.
Even the editor-in-chief, who was sitting drinking tea, felt as if a needle had pricked his butt.
What's the fuss about?
All the editors raised their heads and looked over curiously.
They had good eyesight, and they immediately saw the manuscript that Oshima Sapien dropped on the table——
