It is said that I joined the wrong organization with my friend

Iwanami Bookstore.

This bookstore, or the location of the publishing house in Yokohama is not very good.

In this era when the war has just ended and there are few excellent literary works, the existence of publishing houses is quite embarrassing.However, there is no way to do this. In war, the most important thing is a strong force value, and literature as spiritual food has been put behind.

However, this may also be caused by the consciousness of the big universe, otherwise it would be unreasonable to not even have an excellent anti-war literature during the war.

Reminiscent of the literary giants who "abandon literature and pursue martial arts" in the background of the game... Sure enough, the latter is more likely.

"Speaking of which, have you written anything?" Atsushi Nakajima didn't think of this serious question until he arrived at Iwanami Bookstore.

After spending a few days with Akutagawa Gin, and barely convincing the little girl that she is not a bad guy with plots to do anything wrong, Atsushi Nakajima suggested to go to the city to look for Iwanami Bookstore and investigate in detail.

Akutagawa Silver also came because he was worried about Akutagawa Ryunosuke.It's just... when the three of them came here, they realized that none of them seemed to have any manuscripts to submit.

Atsushi Nakajima thought about it, he didn't seem to see Ryunosuke Akutagawa writing before, and he didn't see any paper items when he came.

"Of course," Akutagawa Ryunosuke said without a pause, he stretched out his hand, "If you don't have anything, you won't come back here."

Some ugly Rashomon appeared between Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi, opened the mouth that the enemy can't avoid, and a red light emerged from it - a thin stack of manuscript paper fell in the hands of Akutagawa Ryunosuke .

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

Ah, can Rashomon still use it like this?

------

A special little guest came to Yanbo Bookstore today.

The little boy with white hair poked out half of his head timidly from the door, carefully looking at the situation in the bookstore.

However, this kind of hiding technique, which is so cute in anime, is actually... completely incapable of hiding people.

At least, the little lady who had been staying at the front desk saw this cute little guy at a glance.

"Little friend, what can you do?" The front desk lady asked with a smile. Although she still maintained her usual elegance, Atsushi Nakajima was sure he saw the stars in her eyes.

Although Yanbo Bookstore is very embarrassed due to the general environment, it still has the capital to recruit an excellent front desk.

In fact, the front desk lady also felt pleasantly surprised when she saw Atsushi Nakajima. She knew that only some middle-aged men would come here—the kind of "excellent" writers who were self-deprecating and depressed.

It's the first time I've seen such a cute little guy~

Especially during the period just after the war... All the children who appeared on the street were little killers who could not be underestimated, and the little guy in front of him could be seen to be well protected by adults.

Really very rare.

Ah... I didn't expect this pair of skins to be so easy to use.

Atsushi Nakajima thought about this, but he had a gloomy look on his face: "That...big sister, it's like this..."

"My good friend likes literature very much, likes the feeling of creating and editing words, and I really want to publish my own articles here..."

"Oh~ I see, is this your friend?" So they are all little guys who are about the same age as this little guy?

Although I feel that it is impractical for such a young child to submit an article, I have to say that the front desk lady is really gentle: "This way, then, do you need my help?"

Yanbo Bookstore never underestimates anyone who has a love for literature, and will not reject anyone's manuscript—even if the other party is just a child.

The front desk lady would not have contempt for Atsushi Nakajima because of his young age. She knew that in this chaotic period, even in the city, there were not a few adults who were killed by a child.

Of course, the receptionist believed that Atsushi Nakajima was not this kind of child, but she was also willing to give a little help to the "friend" in the child's mouth.

"That...he wants to submit a manuscript to you. I wonder if you can accept it?" Atsushi Nakajima expressed his request to the front desk lady. By the way, he couldn't help but sigh that the people in this publishing house are good-looking, and the front desk is like this. Are you empathetic?

"Hmm... this..." Although Atsushi Nakajima's request had been expected, the lady at the front desk still felt embarrassed.

But looking at the child's expectant eyes, she couldn't refuse: "Do you think this is good? Just wait for a while, and the editor-in-chief will come later and let him take a look at your friend's work, okay?"

It stands to reason that such trivial matters would not be seen by the editor-in-chief, but the business of Yanbo Bookstore is not easy to do now.

To put it simply, it is said that there are editors, but in fact, they are all running for their livelihoods, and some of them have not been here for a while.

I don't know if I didn't want to do it, or it was an accident.

In short, now only the editor-in-chief comes to work every day.

"Thank you sister~" Atsushi Nakajima smiled sweetly.

It has to be said that Atsushi Nakajima deserves to be the leading actor in the future. With this background, even if he is only eight years old and has not yet grown up, he still fascinates the front desk.

The lady at the front desk thought about it, and took out a stack of manuscript paper and pens that are not so precious to the publishing house: "Take it, little guy, and throw yourself into the embrace of literature with your partner!"

"Huh? Ah, thank you." Atsushi Nakajima, who was just accompanying Ryunosuke to submit the manuscript, got the manuscript paper for no reason, and thanked him forcefully.

Does fate want him to be a writer?

"What are you doing here?"

Atsushi Nakajima: "!"

Atsushi Nakajima was startled by the sudden male voice coming from behind him. He quickly turned his head and saw a man in a suit and leather shoes squatting down and asking about the brothers and sisters Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Akutagawa Gin.

This man looks very young. If there is no accident, he is about 30 or [-] years old. Maybe he is... a staff member of this publishing house.

But even so, it doesn't mean that Atsushi Nakajima will feel safe because of the other party's identity.

What's more, Ryunosuke's mouth is really, very easy to offend people unknowingly!

Atsushi Nakajima quickly ran over to block Ryunosuke Akutagawa: "Hello, uncle, this is my friend, he came with me, there is no other meaning."

"Uncle, uncle?" Sasaki looked like he was hit, you know!He is only 24 years old!

However, it was impossible for Atsushi Nakajima to know the emotions surging in the man's heart.

Compared to Raibo Street who hadn’t come into contact with the sinister friends in the world these days due to different abilities (I think), Atsushi Nakajima didn’t say that he saw it just on the way to find Ryunosuke Akutagawa these two days. A lot of cruel reality.

Although there are many heart-warming scenes in it, how do you know that the person in front of you is a good person under such a big environment?

"Ah, editor Sasaki?" The front desk lady saw that the cute boy who was thanking her suddenly ran away in a panic, and couldn't help following the other's movements, and saw the editor Sasaki of the editorial department of their Yanbo Bookstore talking to the boy just now at the door ...There are two children beside him, a boy and a girl, so they are the children's companions, right?

Unfortunately, the front desk lady was some distance away from the door, and the few people in the restaurant didn't notice her voice.

Of course, this dialogue is very likely to be one-sided.

"That... I didn't mean anything malicious, I just wanted to ask the two children here all the time." Mr. Sasaki waved his hand, indicating that he didn't intend to do anything to Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

I have to say that this misunderstanding is really big enough.

However, he didn't mean to blame the two children.

The Second War of Supernatural Beings has just ended, and all countries in the world are recovering from their wounds. Even if the governments of all countries seem to be working hard, the turmoil underneath is not so easy to suppress.Let’s just talk about the city of Yokohama, because of the defeated country, the government has already stocked this city.

Now adults may lose their lives when they go to the streets during the day, not to mention children who are vulnerable in front of adults.

"...I think you may be a little nervous," Akutagawa Ryunosuke patted Atsushi Nakajima on the shoulder, signaling him to relax: "Didn't the lady say that? This is the editor here, you don't think the editor What harm will it do to us?"

"Besides... I'm not a powerless person..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke whispered.

Atsushi Nakajima has not yet realized that his friend is no longer the ordinary person who raised his illnesses. Although his body does not look very good now, it is just an illusion on the surface.

Don't you see, the cough that occurs from time to time due to "weakness" is just a small problem that Akutagawa Ryunosuke has never noticed?Not even a burden on his body.

What's more, he is now a person with powerful supernatural powers, and he is dangerous to ordinary people.So how can it be hurt by ordinary people? ...No, don't say that, you can't say the flag.

Hearing what Akutagawa Ryunosuke said, Atsushi Nakajima temporarily put down his meaningless guard.

This is also his own habit for a long time. After all, Ryunosuke Akutagawa was a student who could catch a cold for several days when the wind blows.

Coupled with the fact that the other party is good at studying and is also popular with girls, he naturally became the object of envy of many boys in the school, so there is no need to say anything about what will happen in the end.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Nakajima Atsushi, maybe Akutagawa Ryunosuke would eventually drop out of school because he couldn't bear it.

"Well, I'm a little allergic." Atsushi Nakajima sighed softly, once again feeling that his friend hadn't felt the danger of this world at all, and he couldn't imagine that the other party was so confident because he felt that there was nothing wrong with his force.

Habits become natural, even if Akutagawa Ryunosuke tells the other party in front of Atsushi Nakajima that he is not an ordinary person without combat power, Atsushi Nakajima will still subconsciously protect Akutagawa Ryunosuke in various situations.

And... You said you are in good health, so you are really good?

Ever heard of painlessness?What if the current situation is similar to painless?You look at your pale face and empty body, you won't even believe this.

It has to be said that Atsushi Nakajima is not as soft and cute as he appears on the surface when it comes to certain issues of principle.

"So you two are here, what's the matter?" Editor Sasaki asked.

As he said this, his gaze unconsciously fell on the stack of manuscript paper and the few pens in the white-haired boy's hand.

It's impossible to come here specially to ask for these things, after all, they are not valuable things.

"I want to contribute. I wonder if you accept things written by children?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't want to hide anything, and asked directly.

"Huh?" Sasaki was taken aback for a moment.

To be honest, he subconsciously thought the kid was entertaining him.

What works can a ten-year-old child write?

However, he did not say such impolite words. As a literary worker, Sasaki has a good impression of these two literature-loving children-he can say what he wants to contribute at a young age, but he can't tell the other party's interest in literature. Do you love it?

"Of course!" Sasaki cleared up his complicated emotions and said, "You are very welcome to submit manuscripts to our publishing house. If you really come to submit manuscripts, I can be your editor."

Although he knew that these two children could not produce any excellent works, Sasaki could not say hurtful words either.

Although children who can live alone during this period are not good, Sasaki believes that children who still think about literature at this time will not be too bad.

"..." Akutagawa Ryunosuke silently looked at the haggard man in front of him, Nakajima Atsushi also put away his guarded attitude, Akutagawa Gin looked at the other person... as if looking at a fool.

Should it be said that it is a publishing house that "can be ranked among the top three in the country in peaceful times" by the systematic evaluation?The editor's reaction was beyond Akutagawa Ryunosuke's expectations.

----

Maybe it's because the literature in this world is seriously withered, or maybe it's because the content written by Akutagawa Ryunosuke is really good.

In short, the submission was successful.

"Sure enough, there will never be a shortage of courageous people at any time." On the way back, Nakajima Atsushi sighed.

"...Are you sure it wasn't forced by the situation?" Akutagawa Yin, who had been silent all this time, saw Atsushi Nakajima's words, and finally couldn't help but refute.

Getting along with the other party these days, I thought she was a guy with a little brain, but now it seems that she is thinking too much.

That editor obviously broke the can, didn't he?

Although the other party looks like a successful person in a suit and leather shoes, Akutagawa Gin, who has been at the bottom since he was a child, can see the exhaustion hidden in the other party at a glance-this kind of people-seeing skills is not Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Naka Islands like this can be mastered by half-way monks.

If my guess is correct, this publishing house is probably at the point where it can't afford to eat...

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Atsushi Nakajima asked harmlessly with his purple-gold eyes open, as if he really didn't understand the twists and turns.

"Isn't that obvious?" Akutagawa Yin couldn't help wondering if this guy was a fool at all, or was it that all children protected on the bright side were like this?I'm really envious.

Akutagawa Gin suppressed the bitterness in his heart—hmph, so what?She has a brother!

Akutagawa Gin, who had a slight sense of superiority, explained: "You have also seen that the publishing house has accumulated quite a lot of manuscript paper. What does this mean?"

"The life of that publishing house is not easy... Looking at the emaciated appearance of that editor, I doubt whether this publishing house can survive." Agree: "Brother, what do you think?"

"Ah? What?" Akutagawa Ryunosuke turned his head innocently.

"I was conceiving the content of the novel just now, did you say anything?"

Gin Akutagawa/Atsushi Nakajima: "...no, nothing."
