...

Shogakukan called me last night and made an appointment to send the sample issue of "Jurassic Park" to Naoki Nagayama for review this morning, so Naoki Nagayama stayed at home in the morning and did not go out.

"Yingtaro, let's talk about it, can you stop sticking to me?"

Naoki Nagayama, who was sitting on the verandah, pushed the dog next to him with his fingers. It was a hot day, but he still wanted to cuddle with his owner...

Such a big dog radiates a lot of heat, and with its mouth open and gasping, it's like hot air from an air conditioner blowing next to it.

Still have breath!

"Woof woof! (No!)" Yotaro shook his head, and then put his head on Naoki Nagayama's lap...

"Oh~~~ If it was a female, I would recognize it, but you, Taro Ying, are a male dog!"

Nagayama Naoki rubbed the dog's head,

"Sure enough, males are more clingy..."

At this moment, Akina's voice suddenly came from behind:

"Naoki-san, what are you talking about? What about being clingy?"

Nagayama Naoki turned his head and saw his wife walking over with juice in her hands, and quickly stood up and took it.

"Yutaro is too clingy..." Nagayama Naoki helped Akina sit on the wicker chair, "Akina doesn't need to give you juice, it's so tiring..."

"It's only a few steps away..." Akina smiled, "It's not like I can't move now..."

Looking at his round belly, Nagayama Naoki felt heavy. The closer to the due date, the more thin the belly felt as if it would burst at any time.

"You still need to have a good rest..."

Akina sat down, feeling lost in thought as she listened to the occasional cicada sounds in the yard...

In fact, the cicadas on the cherry tree usually don't dare to bark too much, because there is an orange cat in the house that can climb trees. If it is too noisy, Nyanotaro will climb up and catch the cicadas.

Under the bright sunshine, the lush cherry trees cover nearly half of the courtyard, leaving the white sand of the dry landscape with a shiny luster. The succulents in the corners and the bamboo leaves outside the courtyard wall sandwich a white wall, like a blank picture.

Picture scroll.

"You can draw on the wall from now on!"

Akina, who had her hand on her belly, suddenly said such a sentence, which stunned Nagayama Naoki for a moment.

"???"

"I mean, the baby can use the wall as a drawing board and draw on it in the future!"

"...."

Nagayama Naoki didn't know why his wife suddenly said such words, but in line with his pregnant wife's best wishes, he still nodded pretendingly:

"Well...if you look at it this way, it's really suitable for painting..."

"Woof woof woof!"

"You see, Taro Ying also agrees!"

"..."

Lying on the cat climbing frame, Nyaotaro stretched out his head, glanced at the three strange guys on the verandah, and then retreated into his nest... He didn't sleep in broad daylight, so he started dreaming~

.....

The doorbell of Yamasakura-yuan rang once, and then the iron door opened, as if a vehicle was driving in.

Not long after, the butler Alfred walked from the main hall of the front door to the living area here and reported to Naoki Nagayama:

"Naoki-san... the guests from Shogakukan have arrived."

"Ah..." Nagayama Naoki stood up and walked towards the main hall, "Thank you very much, Afu!"

"This is what I should do...Naoki-san, I'm going to prepare tea..."

Alfred, the butler, was still dressed very rigorously and followed out without a smile... With this emotional value, the monthly salary of one million yen is not a waste at all!

Walking to the living room, Kuniji Morikawa from Shogakukan and Yuya Furuya, the baby-faced assistant editor, were sitting there chatting.

"Kuniji-san...and Furuya-kun?"

Nagayama Naoki was a little surprised. Isn’t Furuya Yuya a rich second generation who is experiencing life? Didn’t he say that he had gone back to inherit the family business? Why did he come here again?

"Naoki-san~" Kuniji Morikawa said with a smile, "Yes, when Yuya Furuya heard that I was coming to deliver sample magazines, he had to follow me..."

"Sasashibu~" Furuya Yuya stood up and said hello, "After the renovation of Yamazakura-in, it is much bigger than before!"

"It was renovated last year..."

Nagayama Naoki said with a smile,

"Because I have a family~"

"Haha, it's true that the space will be larger after you start a family..."

"How come I didn't see Furuya-kun when I went to Shogakukan before?"

"Because I went abroad to study for a while..."

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them sat down. Kuniji Morikawa also handed over a novel. On the cover was an exaggerated photo of a Tyrannosaurus rex, as well as the title of the novel "Jurassic Park"...

"Naoki-san, the trial version of the novel is ready..." He pointed to the cardboard box next to him, "Send a box to Naoki-san..."

These trial printing plates can be given as gifts or kept as souvenirs.

"Well, it's already printed~"

Nagayama Naoki looked through the freshly baked books. Since it was Nagayama Naoki's book, both the paper and the ink were of excellent quality, exuding the smell of freshly printed ink...

"Naoki-san~" Furuya Yuya said excitedly from the side, "I didn't expect Naoki-san to change the track again!"

The last "Paradise Lost" had already surprised him. The later "Tokyo Love Story" was a return to the original realm of youth love. This time it was actually a science fiction novel!

And the quality far exceeded expectations...

In Yuya Furuya's eyes, Naoki Nagayama is already that kind of talented and versatile writer.

"Haha, maybe I still have a childlike innocence~" Nagayama Naoki explained with a smile, "I reviewed "Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur" before, and I actually came up with the idea of ​​writing a dinosaur novel~

"

"I see!"

"Is this the reason?"

Both Kuniji Morikawa and Yuya Furuya felt strangely relieved. Speaking of which, "Doraemon: Nobita's Dinosaur" is indeed somewhat similar to "Jurassic Park". They both raise dinosaurs, but one is an animation and the other is a science fiction novel.

That's all.

Naoki Nagayama saw the two people's looks and nodded with satisfaction. He had just recently thought of finding a starting point for the sudden changes in his novel, and it seemed to work well.

Yuya Furuya continued to chat with Naoki Nagayama about the content of the novel, like a loyal book fan, and also discussed whether cloning technology could actually realize the behavior of cloning dinosaurs in the future, etc.

"Cloning is definitely achievable...but when the technology reaches that point, the first consideration should be ethical issues..."

Nagayama Naoki lamented that there will be many books and movies on cloning-related topics in the future, such as "Escape from Cloning Island" and so on, all of which will explore the relationship between cloning technology and ethics...

With the development of science and technology, there will be more and more conflicts and discussions about them~

Alfred, the butler, brought tea, which made the three people in the living room feel like they were having a tea party. However, this kind of chatting was really interesting. If you were not careful, you could talk for a long time...

Naoki Nagayama stopped this strange "seminar" when he felt that he was almost done.

"Naoki-san... the official release of the novel will be in early August..." Kuniji Morikawa said, "But before that, you should be able to see the promotion of this novel~"

As I said last time, a lot of money was spent on promoting Shogakukan this time, and they will advertise it in the children's playground.

"Thank you for your hard work, Bangzhi-san~"

Naoki Nagayama and Kunji Morikawa shook hands to express their gratitude.

"Naoki-san, I will introduce this novel to my friends!" Furuya Yuya's words were very down-to-earth, like a big boy, "They will definitely like it too!"

"Haha, thank you very much~"

"It's getting late, so we'll say goodbye~"

"It's hard to come here..."

"Where, where~"

"..."

After sending people out, Nagayama Naoki saw Akina also arrived in the living room and was flipping through the trial version of the novel that had been sent to her.

"Naoki-san's "Jurassic Park" is about to be published~"

Akina looked at her husband with a smile,

"Can you sign your name for me?"

"You can sign ten of them!"

Nagayama Naoki picked up the cardboard box and walked to the small living room with Akina.
To be continued...
