Suzuki Ha, female, pen name Shumoto Fuji, she has serialized several popular works in "Cold" before, and then won the main author position on "Cold" with "The Man Reflected in the Camera"

.

Similarly, "The Man Reflected in the Camera" has also suppressed "Between the Dolls" by the newly debuted author Kuromiya Akisa for most of the time, ranking first in a long-term reader review survey.

After the completion of "The Man Reflected in the Camera", she was recruited by Shinji Furuta to Fuji Publishing House, where she remains until today——

"If this continues, maybe I can really have a chance to meet Mr. Higashino from Urashima Publishing House..."

With this thought in mind, Shinji Furuta, who was holding this draft of the storyboard, turned to look at the woman at the manga workbench.

He had messy light yellow curly hair, his eyes were half-opened, and he looked dazed, his face was frighteningly pale, and his thick dark circles looked like he hadn't slept for a long time.

She was yawning at this time, making herself some coffee, and her white heels were hanging out of her slippers.

She is Suzuki Ha, who is also the same as Shumoto Fuji in "Cold", and is now the mainstay author of Fuji Publishing's weekly "Thriller".

Suzuki Ha was born with the air of being a bit of an idiot. Even if the editor-in-chief Furuta Shinji was in front of her, she would just wear pajamas and not care at all.

Under her feet were all shot manuscripts and pencil stubs that had been roughly used, so densely packed that it felt like people would slip if they stepped on them.

But Shinji Furuta understands the other party very well.

Suzuki Yu was originally such a person. Apart from lying down and resting, he could only draw comics and not care about anything else. He didn't care about anything.

Even when we go out to eat, the other party will bring a sketchbook to draw the available materials and save them for use in comics.

Shinji Furuta has seen her suddenly fall asleep while painting - it feels more like she suddenly fell into a coma than falling asleep.

Shinji Furuta panicked several times, thinking that his mainstay author had died suddenly while drawing comics.

He often acted as a father and a mother at the same time, helping to hire hourly workers to clean Suzuki Yu, and reminding her to rest in time... Obviously, this effect was not great.

The clean sofa under Furuta Shinji's butt was the one he had just tidied up.

But...compared to such trivial matters, Furuta Shinji wanted to ask the other party's opinion more.

This manga has something to do with Higashino Tsukasa...how is she thinking?

So he put down the draft storyboard of "The Lawyer Trap" and asked curiously: "Teacher Shumoto Fuji, what do you think?"

"Uh... what do you think?" Suzuki Yu took off his shoes, bare his feet, hugged his knees, held the coffee cup in both hands, took a sip and then raised his head.

Her expression was lazy and she seemed to be wandering.

"Comparing this "Lawyer's Trap" with Mr. Higashino over there...do you think it has a chance of winning?"

"Teacher Higashino...? Who is that?" Suzuki Yu asked strangely.

No...don't you know who Higashinoji is?

Furuta Shinji opened his mouth and really felt that Suzuki Yu was an alien.

The previous Kumamon controversy ended with "Midnight Ring", and now many newspapers in Tokyo are still dragging out Higashino Tsukasa to beat the corpse to heat up the heat... Why did Suzuki Ha come to ask questions and don't know anything about it?

In your next comic, you will have to compete with the other party!

Shinji Furuta shook his head helplessly, but he had also known for a long time that Suzuki Ha was a simple lazy person who couldn't muster the energy to do anything except draw comics, so he still explained.

"It's Mr. Higashino, the author of "The Ring" and "The Lonely Gourmet"."

Is it the author who drew "The Ring"?"

Suzuki Yu remembered it immediately, and a very interested look appeared on her face. She jumped down from the chair and walked over with her slippers on: "What's wrong with him?"

"..." Furuta Shinji.

When he said that he didn't recognize Higashinoji's name, and when he mentioned the name of the work "Midnight Bell", Suzukiha actually reacted... This is really...

But forget it, Furuta Shinji patiently explained to her: "It's that Mr. Higashino. He may be serializing a new work recently... and he is very likely to compete with you - I want to ask Mr. Shumoto Fuji.

I don’t have the confidence to defeat him.”

"Didn't he just finish "Midnight Ring"?" Suzuki Yu frowned upon hearing this and couldn't help but interject: "Is he going to start a new work so soon?"

"Yes." Shinji Furuta added: "Like you, he also wants to draw cartoons about lawyers' profession."

I also want to draw lawyers’ professional themes...?

Suzuki Yu looked disappointed after listening to Furuta Shinji's words, and muttered to himself inexplicably: "What a pity..."

"Huh?" Furuta Shinji obviously didn't understand what Suzuki Yu meant by this, but he still looked at her.

"Chief Editor Furuta, have you seen that...that...teacher?"

"It's Mr. Tono."

Furuta Shinji really couldn't listen anymore, so he added something.

Suzuki Yu rubbed his hands and asked him curiously.

They already knew the type of comics the other person wanted to draw, and she estimated that Shinji Furuta had met him before.

"I've seen you before...what's wrong?" Feeling that something was not right about Suzuki Yu's state, Furuta Shinji asked her strangely.

"I want to meet him in real life. Chief Editor Gu Tian, ​​can you take me there?"

Suzuki Yu made a rare request, but the content of the request...

"Why do you want to see Mr. Higashino?" Furuta Shinci was very surprised and couldn't help but ask.

"I like "The Ring" very much, so I hope to meet Mr. Higashino."

Suzuki Yu waved her hand, and the coffee in her hand spilled out due to her fierce movements. She looked very excited, as if she must see Higashinoji.

"...It's okay to just meet once."

After all, he was the author of his own pillar. It was just such a simple request. Shinji Furuta just thought about it and nodded in agreement.

However, he still gave Suzuki Yu a vaccination: "But after meeting Mr. Higashino, Mr. Shumotofuji, you can't talk nonsense."

Furuta Shinji still wants to poach Higashinoji, but if Suzukiha makes the atmosphere too awkward... that won't be good.

"Okay... I understand." As soon as he talked about this, Suzuki Yu turned back to his lackluster appearance and responded, and then spoke again: "It's too late today, Editor-in-Chief Furuta, I should probably take a rest.

Yes. Look..."

Too late?

Only then did Furuta Shinji react and glanced at the time on his watch.

It's really late, it's already ** o'clock.

"It's indeed very late. I'll leave right away... Do you want to see Mr. Higashino tomorrow? I can also inform the other side."

"Yeah, let's do it tomorrow. I'll go to bed earlier today and be more energetic when I see Mr. Higashino tomorrow."

Suzuki Yu responded lazily, and then hurriedly sent Editor Furuta out the door.

Feeling her anxious movements, Editor-in-Chief Gu Tian also looked puzzled, but he suddenly thought of something.

——Suzukiha hasn’t answered yet whether he has the confidence to defeat Higashinoji!

"This... was deceived?"

Editor-in-chief Gu Tian opened his mouth, then shook his head after a while.

Forget it, there's no point thinking about it now.

What we need to think about is how to defeat Higashinoji.

He glanced at Suzuki Yu's closed door before leaving with the storyboard draft of "The Lawyer Trap".

...

The next day, the high school in the North Yi School had a noon break.

Higashino took out a breath and rubbed his temples.

He was still not very interested in these school courses as always, and spent the whole morning thinking about the plot of "The Winner Is Justice".

"The situation is not bad... I'll probably just keep drawing according to the ideas in my head... There shouldn't be any big problems." Touyaji gently knocked on the table and sorted out the plot in his mind again, but found no flaws.

At that moment, he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take out the bread to eat.

But soon——

The PA in the North Yiyuan School sounded.

"Please Mr. Higashinoji from Class A, please come to the faculty and staff office immediately."

"...Huh?" Higashino stopped moving, feeling that this development seemed to have happened last week.

Could it be Furuta Shinji again...?

This shouldn't be the case.

My attitude should have been quite firm last time.

No matter what the other party does, he has to let him go for two or three weeks before coming back...

But forget it.

Since there is a summons, it must be because of trouble.
To be continued...
