Teacher Higashino doesn’t want to submit the manuscript, right?

The editor of Oshima subconsciously thought, but quickly shook his head and wiped it away.

You should know that Higashinoji's comics have never been serialized for anything since their debut. This is Higashinoji's golden sign. He can't just smash his signature because of this simple personnel change, right?

Besides, Hosokawa Koharu is not coming back

The editor of Oshima thought about it the more he felt it was unlikely, so he shook his head, thinking that he probably was too sensitive and thinking too much.

After all, he just got the news and became the editor of Higashinoji, and was immediately notified that he was a nanny, who was entrusted with Hosokawa Koharu. At that time, he would have to return Higashinoji directly, so he started to think about it.

Moreover, the author Higashinoji has always been very time-honored and rarely works. Oshima editor is very confident in Higashinoji.

So the next thing is to take the initiative to call Higashinoji to ask for the original manuscript, or wait for Higashinoji to call and go to his house to pick up the manuscript?

Generally speaking, a mature editor naturally needs to take the initiative to call the author and ask about the status of the manuscript.

But Higashinoji is not like a mature printer, just like there is a saying outside that is 'Keyboard, you should learn to mature, you should learn to code by yourself', a mature comic author like Higashinoji does not need to urge him, and will continue to spit out original manuscripts.

The most important thing is that Higashinoji is the author of the pillar of Urashima Publishing House. Unlike other comics, he has just taken over Higashinoji. If he calls to urge him, it would be a bit inappropriate.

So the editor of Oshima was about to wait for a while and wait for Higashinoji to call him.

Then two hours passed

"No call!"

No call

The editor of Oshima touched his head: "This is unscientific."

Teacher Higashino didn't really call?

When he chatted with Hosokawa Koharu in the past, Higashinoji would often call him on his own initiative. His different treatment was too different from that of Hosokawa Editor, right? It was simply no news.

Is it because I am a male editor?

The editor of the Big Island waited, the less confident he was, and he was obviously a little crazy.

But soon he cheered up again.

"According to general principles, this should not be the case. And Mr. Higashino is a mature author, so of course he will not benefit from the issue of the issue."

Thinking of this, the editor of Oshima became confident again, and he felt that he was OK again.

"That's right! I want to have confidence in Teacher Higashino!"

He murmured to himself.

Then two or three hours passed.

"No call, there is no intention of calling."

The editor of Oshima stared at the company's landline phone with red eyes, and he felt much more haggard.

Two phone calls came just now, but those two phone calls had nothing to do with him, and they were the phone calls from other authors who came to submit the manuscript.

He couldn't help but grab his hair and glanced at the time again.

It is already five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and it will take until evening to hold on. I have to get off work myself.

"It's better to call." The editor of Oshima originally wanted to shout, "I want to believe in Teacher Higashino," but it was already five or six o'clock.

The editor Hosokawa next to him was also not here because he went to talk about handover affairs.

The editor of Oshima can only take out a telephone contact book from his desk.

Every editor has this thing in his hands. It mainly contains the contact information of the comic author who is serialized in "Qi" and of course Higashinoji's name is also very prominent on it. It is directly placed on the first page and can be regarded as the treatment of the author of the pillar, so it is very easy to find.

The editor of Oshima quickly found Higashinoji's contact information and dialed the phone a little uneasy.

He is now afraid that Higashinoji won't even answer the phone.

Fortunately, Higashinoji did not disappoint the editor of Oshima this time. Before he could hear the blind sound twice, he immediately answered the phone: "Hey? Who is it?"

His tone was also quite kind, which made the editor of Oshima more or less confident.

The editor of Oshima breathed a little: "Hello, Teacher Higashino, I am the editor who is responsible for you for the time being, Oshima Homoto."

"Ah, it's Oshima editor." Higashinoji said in a daze: "Urjima editor has already told me about Oshima editor's affairs, so please give me more advice."

The other party smiled and said hello, which made the editor of Oshima even more relieved.

Teacher Higashino is indeed a reasonable author. At least he didn't scold him directly as Oshima editor imagined.

He felt relieved, so he smiled and said, "Since Teacher Higashino has accepted me as the temporary editor, I also want to fulfill my responsibilities as the editor. Can I get the original manuscript of "Unnatural Death" now?"

After saying this, the editor of Oshima kept smiling and waiting for Higashinoji's reply.

And Higashinoji there did not hesitate at all and quickly responded: "Sorry, editor of Oshima, I just came back from a trip, and the original manuscript of "Unnatural Death" is not ready yet. Can you please wait?"

Higashinoji's voice sounded a little embarrassed.

Why?

Not ready?

After hearing Higashinoji's words, the editor of Oshima was stunned.

This is the first time I heard

In the past, when Hosokawa Koharu received the manuscript, he basically made a phone call and agreed on the time. After all, will the original manuscript really not be prepared by a printer like Higashinoji?

But to be honest, I didn't have so much time to prepare after just returning from a trip, and I still have a lot of things to pack

The editor of Oshima cannot deify Higashino. He really feels that he has the ability to "spout" the original manuscript from his mouth.

So he quickly asked: "The death line of "Unnatural Death" is the day after tomorrow. Can Teacher Higashino hand over the original manuscript to me before the day after tomorrow?"

When publishers print magazines, they need to send the original manuscript and specific design to the printing factory first, and printing and release will take time. The deadline is something that barely step on this timeline.

After hearing this, Higashinoji over there did not hesitate and replied politely: "Sorry, editor of Oshima, I will try my best to complete the original manuscript before the deadline."

The editor of Oshima took the opportunity to communicate with Higashinoji. After talking throughout the article, he felt very comfortable.

Because Higashinoji is so good at speaking, in a sense, he completely satisfies all his fantasies about the author as an editor.

Be polite, polite, not embarrassing, reasonable, and speaking in moderation

This kind of fame is too rare to have an author without any pride.

"Sure enough, Teacher Higashino can still believe it."

The editor of Oshima became confident again and muttered happily, turning around to prepare for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

He felt that he would give a good impression when he first met, so he planned to take out the formal outfit he had not worn through and was going to go on a blind date.

Although it was not a blind date, seeing Higashinoji was like half a kiss!

Make sure to make money!

He thought happily.

A big man was so happy that he was like a little girl who wanted to meet her boyfriend.

Then

"He didn't call"

If the other day, Homo sapiens Oshima was like a little girl waiting for her sweet first love, smiling at everyone, looking like a spring breeze.

Today, Oshima Homo sapiens is a middle-aged woman who is as sensitive and irritable as entering menopause.

He stared at the landline he placed on the desktop and fell into melancholy for a moment.

As an editor, of course he knew that it would be impossible to wait for the author to get news, but no matter how he called him in the past two days, Higashinoji was laughing and fooled by him with a smile.

What an emergency? The school has come to inform him to show up. It’s inconvenient to make him appear now. There’s no time. It’s still a little bit late.

In short, there are all kinds of reasons.

But what made the editor of Oshima the most helpless was that when Higashinoji said these words, there were sometimes some sounds of mahjong shooting there.

"bump!"

"Don't eat mine!"

This is the voice of several girls.

This gave Oshima editor a little headache.

You have started playing mahjong, don’t you have time to prepare the original manuscript of “Unnatural Death”?

But the editor of Oshima is not able to expose the other party. After all, Higashinoji showed this attitude, and it was obvious that he did not want to submit the manuscript.

And he didn't know how to blame the other party, because Higashiji was very friendly to him, and he always smiled from beginning to end, and never said anything rudely.

"Let's call." Although there was no hope, the editor of Oshima picked up the phone and called Higashinoji.

"Hey? Big Island Editor?"

"Teacher Higashino, today is already deadline. How is the original manuscript of "Unnatural Death"?"

"Ah, you said the original manuscript of "Unnatural Death". "Taiji Higashino's voice suddenly realized: "Sorry, editor of Oshima, can you give me some more time and more time, it will definitely be done."
