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

"Teacher, it's useless to deceive yourself and others." A voice belonging to Sasaki sounded from behind Atsushi Nakajima, and at that moment Atsushi Nakajima felt that he heard a demon whispering in his ear.

If you ask an author what or who they are most afraid of, most of the authors should choose the editor because he will send you a press attack.

There are also quite a few authors who say that the scariest thing in the world is that you sit there for a long time without typing a word, which is commonly known as exhaustion of inspiration.In addition, the one who is comparable to being uninspired is Calvin.

The former, maybe you can find it inadvertently when you go out for a stroll, and the latter, it's really uncomfortable.You know what's going to happen later, but when it's time to connect the plot, you feel that everything you write is wrong, as if you are already a useless person who can't write a manuscript.

What is written above, the visual inspection is that the author has experienced it.

Of course, if you have to say it, you will still make the editor of the manuscript more scary, right?

"Ah... so it's Mr. Sasaki!" Atsushi Nakajima said "surprised" when he saw Sasaki just now, "I'm really sorry, I didn't notice you just now. Speaking of which, Mr. Sasaki came to see me today ?"

Of course Atsushi Nakajima knew that Sasaki probably came to him, but!

It's embarrassing not wanting to face reality.

Any author who has been out of publication for a long time, when faced with the fact that he is about to invest in new creations, most of them have one reaction: I don’t want to write, I don’t want to write, I’m a free and easy code word, what can I eat? The author, no, I'm not, don't look for me...

"Nakajima-sensei, although I know that you are indeed a playful age as a child." Sasaki said, "However, I still hope that you can realize one thing-you haven't had a baby for a year. Published work."

In fact, Sasaki is also quite troubled by Atsushi Nakajima's age.

Strictly speaking, Atsushi Nakajima and Ryunosuke Akutagawa are not even adults. Of course, he does not mean that minors cannot write and publish articles. After all, there are no precedents for young writers.

Coupled with the social situation at that time, many children came out to work at a young age to support themselves and even their younger siblings. Akutagawa Ryunosuke and Nakajima Atsushi just wrote books to make money. The difference is that the content written by these two people is too profitable. .

Sasaki's headache is that these two people already have some influence in Japan and even abroad. All in all, no matter in the long run or now, it is better for the two of them to have relatively stable updates.This is beneficial to both Yanami Bookstore and the author himself.

However, these two are still boys at Sasaki's age, and their sudden hobbies may become a stumbling block on Sasaki's smooth way to get the manuscript.

So the problem came, like this time, two people suddenly said that they wanted to study painting—one of them was taken away by the other, by the way, this is also a problem.These two people are still good friends, and it is easy for one to do something, and the other is also brought along to do it together.

Like this time, the two haven't published a new story for an entire year.

Iwanami Bookstore's requirements for authors are not so strict, and they are even more tolerant of the two children, Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Atsushi Nakajima, who are cash cows.Especially after everyone in Iwanami Bookstore became fans of these two, the degree of indulgence has really skyrocketed.

Don't you see, the number of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's manuscripts has decreased so much since Higuchi Ichiyo took office, didn't they say anything?Cough, of course, this means that Mr. Akutagawa is not in good health. If it were Mr. Nakajima, we must ask him if he has gone fishing again.

But ah!Let's not say that several works are published a year, don't you write at least one?

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is okay, after all, he has a manuscript.Although, Ichiyo Higuchi was unwilling to publish all of them, and insisted on publishing the content that should have been published in one issue into two issues... In other words, Akutagawa Ryunosuke himself did not save the manuscript, and all It depends on the part that Ichiyo Higuchi did not hand over to Iwanami Shoten.

After knowing this, Sasaki finally understood why after Higuchi Ichiyo became the editor of Akutagawa Ryunosuke, the number of Akutagawa Ryunosuke's manuscripts plummeted, and the changes were very professional.

The quality is still great though.

But no matter how this manuscript came about, in short, he did have it!

"So, is Sasaki-san here to urge the manuscript?" Atsushi Nakajima asked after returning to his seat in his office.

This kind of thing, Atsushi Nakajima already had a premonition when he opened the door and saw Sasaki, plus the surprise that his dear boss said before he left...No surprises, Sasaki will appear here, Mori Ogai knew about it, and it is even possible that this guy single-handedly created the current situation.

To put it bluntly, Sasaki is likely to be able to enter and leave the Hong Kong Black Building as an ordinary person and not a member of the port mafia.

And it's the long-term kind.

This is really not good news for Atsushi Nakajima.

To be honest, he almost forgot that he was an author because of the passage of time.

After all, I haven't written an article for a whole year, and I haven't even seen Mr. Sasaki who focused on Oda Sakunosuke this year, so of course I forgot it.

Is there anything wrong?Atsushi Nakajima felt that there was nothing wrong with his logic.

"Of course!!" Sasaki was furious when he heard Atsushi Nakajima's understatement.

This person in front of me!Suddenly said that he wanted to chase his dream of being a cartoonist!He even wrote an announcement irresponsibly - don't tell him that he called Oda Sakunosuke over!He won't listen!

"Irresponsible to leave readers aside, you don't even look at how many reminder letters have been sent to the editorial department." The grievances suffered by Shi Shi this year made Sasaki completely ignore his promise to Atsushi Nakajima, and find someone who can stand on top of him. The fact that the writer allowed Atsushi Nakajima to study fine arts.

But this is also understandable, after all... Oda Sakunosuke's slow temper, it's fine to delay the draft, the key is that the editor blablas next to him and said a lot, it's useless.

The guy didn't react at all.

"Ah... Any letters from readers?" Nakajima Atsushi stared dead.

After so many years, he still can't forget that a few years ago, he opened the letters from readers with great interest, and ended up writing a letter full of admiration for the "beautiful girl writer" Yuexia, and his statement was as disgusting as Atsushi Nakajima's life. The best I've seen—now thinking about it, Atsushi Nakajima still couldn't help shaking, and his skin got goosebumps.

The main thing is!Not just one!

As a result, he was laughed at by Ryunosuke (not at all).

"Oh, yes, I forgot you never read it." After saying that, Sasaki remembered that Atsushi Nakajima is one of the few authors who can't read letters from readers.

The psychological shadow was so great that Sasaki opened and checked Atsushi Nakajima's letters to readers.Sasaki, who read those letters, couldn't bear to tell Atsushi Nakajima that even though he had already stated in the newspapers that he was a man, he even said so in the interview arranged by Iwanami Bookstore, but...

There are still a group of readers who don't believe it, and there are still some confession letters.

"I haven't even been there, how could I watch it." Atsushi Nakajima said weakly.

Sasaki: "..."

Why can this guy say such things for granted?

Pushing his glasses, based on his understanding of Atsushi Nakajima, if nothing else happens, he may have forgotten the reality that he is an author in a year.At the moment, Sasaki didn't talk nonsense, and simply ignored Atsushi Nakajima's powerless appearance, and directly cut to the topic: "It's not a big deal this time, I just want to know what you think about a book in advance, teacher."

"Do you have an outline? If possible, I hope you can write the outline for me to see at the end of the month."

"Hmm..." Atsushi Nakajima pondered for a moment when asked this, and asked an irrelevant question, which even made Sasaki wonder if he had listened to him: "Didn't I introduce Odasaku to Mr. Sasaki before? ? Could it be that the articles written by Odasaku are not good enough?"

Ah, when did I start calling Oda as Oda Saku?Isn't his surname Oda?Atsushi Nakajima's mind drifted.

"Please don't change the topic, Mr. Nakajima." In Sasaki's opinion, this level of changing the topic is really not technical at all. "We are talking about your new work now, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Oda Saku No."

"Haha, is that right? I still want to care about the creative status of Oda Saku." After all, that's what the editor called?When did this kind of thing reach a consensus?

Atsushi Nakajima felt that he had discovered Huadian,

Then, he noticed the distrustful gaze from Sasaki opposite him.

"What, what's the matter?" Nakajima Atsushi said with some guilt, after all, he was distracted while chatting with people.

"Alas..." Sasaki sighed while resting his forehead.

If it is said that after receiving the news that the update will be resumed, although Akutagawa Ryunosuke did not want to draw, he took the initiative to agree and ask, and asked his editor Higuchi Ichiyo to go out with him to collect materials, then Atsushi Nakajima can be said to be Write the words "I don't want to write" and "I want to coo" on my face, for fear that Sasaki won't see it.

However, looking at Sasaki's eyes that hate iron for nothing, Atsushi Nakajima was still defeated.

"Okay... I see, I will give you the outline later." Atsushi Nakajima said, who actually didn't know what to write.

It's not a big problem, just don't know what to write?What's the big deal? Could it be that he can't make up a story every minute after reading so many online routines?

"Really? I hope so." Sasaki pushed his glasses, "But forget it, no matter whether you really said that and planned to do it or not, in short, I will supervise you in the next time."

"Huh...huh?!" Atsushi Nakajima, who was still slumped on the table, bounced up when he realized it: "Supervisor?!"

"That's right, Mr. Ouwai has already cleared out a room for me next to your cadre dormitory." Sasaki smiled and said words that made Atsushi Nakajima despair, "Please do your best, teacher."

"Ah?! Isn't this lying to a child?!" Nakajima was so angry that he jumped up and rushed to Mori Ogai's office to ask him for an explanation: "This guy clearly said that he would give me a vacation! That's the end? !That's it?!"

Who wouldn't be happy if a good vacation turns into an alternative job?For example, students go to cram school during summer vacation and winter vacation, and office workers take their work home.

This is simply too much.

"On my side, Mr. Nakajima has been on vacation for a year." Sasaki smiled with narrowed eyes.

Nakajima Dunka Shell.

It seems that this is the case.

"However, if the teacher can give me the manuscript earlier, I won't stop the teacher from going out~" Editor Sasaki, who finally regained his fortune, felt relieved.

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

I think you just want to make me feel bad.

------

At night, a virtual battle space.

"Ah——my freedom has just gone away from me, woo woo woo (┯_┯)" Atsushi Nakajima lay on the ground as if he was paralyzed, like a brain ax that lost his dreams, his whole body was limp It became a puddle of water.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke who heard this sentence as soon as he entered: "?"

what happened?Sudden convulsion?

It's no wonder that Akutagawa Ryunosuke's first reaction was this. It's really that Atsushi's current position in the port mafia is no longer that small person who can be bullied by anyone-although it feels strange to say that a person with supernatural powers.

In short, Atsushi Nakajima, who is now a quasi-cadre and has a dormitory in the Hong Kong Black Building, is unlikely to be bullied by people other than those above him, let alone lose his freedom.

As for Atsushi Nakajima's boss?He can't restrict the freedom of movement of a high combat power, can he?

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who couldn't figure it out, came to Atsushi Nakajima who was lying on the ground, and squatted down.

So, Atsushi Nakajima, who was in a bad mood, turned over and over, and when he turned over again, he felt that he was poked in the head.When I opened my eyes, it was indeed Ryunosuke.

"Ryunosuke——! I'm so miserable!" Seeing Akutagawa Ryunosuke, Atsushi Nakajima seemed to be about to cry, at least the tone of his howl was raised a lot: "Mr. Mori and the adults are too dirty Right! It was said to let me take a break, but the result, the result..."

"QAQ, he actually found my editor, asked him to press me for the manuscript, and even arranged a room for him..."

"Ah," catching the whole Cerebellar Ax that rushed over, Akutagawa Ryunosuke skillfully rubbed his head to appease him, after listening to Atsushi Nakajima's cry.

Then, Akutagawa Ryunosuke said in the same tone as usual: "It's okay, we can run away."

Nakajima Atsushi swished away from Akutagawa Ryunosuke's arms: "Huh?"

"I said, we can run away and skip tickets." Akutagawa Ryunosuke said it again after seeing Atsushi Nakajima's suddenly dumbfounded look.

"Run away?! Bounce ticket?!"

Atsushi Nakajima couldn't believe his ears!

His good friend!Actually!Tell him to run away and skip tickets together!

OMG!What's going on today?One or two of them made the sun come out to the west, and it was like the end of the world.

After all, he is a childhood sweetheart and good friend for many years. Atsushi Nakajima is confident that he knows Ryunosuke Akutagawa. It is absolutely impossible for Ryunosuke Akutagawa to suddenly say something like skipping tickets. This is not in line with his usual moral standards!This is a person who can struggle for a long time with a promise that has not been clearly promised!

Seriously, if only the two of them could come in this space, the feeling I hugged just now was indeed the touch of my friend (?), Atsushi Nakajima would have suspected that Mori Ogai had been replaced by someone Suspect Akutagawa Ryunosuke!

"Wait, let me slow down." Atsushi Nakajima turned around as if he couldn't bear the stimulation, it was too exciting today.I just thought I could take a vacation and saw the editor who urged the manuscript. I thought I was about to fall into the hell of coding, but my friend said "we can run away"?

... Hiss, it seems that it is not impossible.

Anyway, Mr. Mori told Dazai Osamu about the Raibo Street incident, and you don’t have to worry about the need for combat personnel... emmm, it seems that it is not impossible.

but……

"Why do you suddenly want to run away?" Atsushi Nakajima asked.

"Oh, I plan to draw manga directly for the new work, which is what we agreed before." Akutagawa Ryunosuke explained, "However, I don't have any good ideas about clothes and characters. Ranpo-san suggested that I from other cities."

Atsushi Nakajima: "..."

Is it not just me who wants to leave work and avoid editing to relax and play?

What's going on with a little pain in my conscience...
