Chapter 427 Only at home with Mrs. Yukino
Springfield Books prepares to celebrate 200 million sales.

After the official condolences and invitation to Oda Nobuo, Mikami Saburo came over with some small gifts.

Oda Shingo felt a little confused.

Saburo's compliments to Oda Nobuo were almost corny.

"Shingo, you must be the most eye-catching cartoonist at this ceremony!"

"Springfield Books is what it is today, thanks to you."

"The president and I, along with many of my colleagues, are eager to worship you and burn incense sticks in your honor."

In fact, many people in Springfield Bookstore are worshippers of Oda Shingo.

Oda Shingo looked at him with a somewhat depressed expression.

What on earth is this guy trying to do by keeping saying this to my face?
After praising Oda Shingo for a long time, Mikami Saburo suddenly said, "So when is the right time for me to take my sister home?"

Oda Shingo: “…”

You guys have been praising me for so long just for this?

"Brother!" Although Yuko Mikami was still working at the desk, she was listening nearby. When she heard this, she immediately jumped up to stop him.

"Hahaha, stop talking too much." Mikami Saburo was such a smart man that he immediately realized that his sister's elbow was bent so far outward that there was no hope of saving it.

Forget it, Oda Shingo is also a trustworthy guy, and I already have Kono Ran, so I should try not to worry about my sister. This is the only way he can comfort himself.

But I just feel uncomfortable. I have watched her grow up since she was a child, so why is she not close to me now?

This guy Oda Shingo is a girl-stealing devil! He is also called a sister-stealing devil!
Hmm, when he thought of this, San Shang Saburo felt that his speculation was quite correct. Is this how male succubi came about?

Before leaving, he whispered to Oda Shingo: "I will take you to meet my parents someday."

“???” Oda Nobuo subconsciously took a step back, but soon realized that he had misunderstood.

When he heard this, he thought that San Shang Saburo was a little gay, but he soon realized that he was asking for information for his sister.

"If you want to know the progress between your sister and I, just ask directly." Oda Shingo smiled.

But San Shang Saburo rolled his eyes: "Everyone knows that you can't answer, right?"

"You can ask whatever you want."

"Okay, what's the progress between you and my sister?"

"you guess."

"..."

Oda Shingo smiled and said, "You can ask whatever you want, but the question is up to you. Whether or not to answer is up to me."

"You sister demon!" Sankami Saburo gritted his teeth.

Oda Shingo retorted: "You are the sister demon, the sister-control demon."

"The 200 million sales celebration is very important, and you are also a top priority, so come early." Saburo Mikami tapped him on the shoulder before saying goodbye and leaving.

Oda Shingo promised, "I will definitely be there on time."

Springfield Books' celebration of its two million sales was a rare ceremony of commercial prosperity in recent years.

Since Japan's economic decline began in the 90s, the entire society has never recovered.

Especially in the comics industry, as paper media is severely impacted by online media, most companies consider surviving as a pass, and companies with an annual performance increase of 3% are considered market-leading companies.

However, Springfield Books' performance improved significantly in the year when it hired Oda Shingo.

Although the annual profit has not been released, the market sales have increased from millions to 200 million, which is definitely an unprecedented achievement in the comics industry.

Therefore, Springfield Books really attaches great importance to the celebration of 200 million sales, and also holds a celebration party to thank Shingo Oda.

Oda Shingo also understood this truth, so he had to go there.

He returned to the room and noticed several girls looking at him.

The two of them were talking louder and louder just now, so the female assistant and others could hear them.

Mikami Yuko's face flushed red, and after Mikami Saburo left, she hurried over to explain: "Teacher Oda, my brother didn't mean anything else, maybe he wanted you to recognize my family."

"Yeah, yes, that's probably the case." Oda Shingo waved his hand.

Namikaze Yuzuru and Todou Kacheng both looked at Oda Shingo with squinted eyes.

"The day after tomorrow is the Springfield celebration, so we need to speed up the progress." Oda Shingo called on his female assistants to work hard.

"Boss, are you being so cruel as to squeeze out the red blood cells from your body?" Fujido Kaoru protested.

Oda Shingo was annoyed: "Where did you learn that from?" "From your comics."

Oda Shingo corrected: "It's a comment on my comics, right?"

"The root cause is still your comics."

Oda Nobuo was speechless.

His cartoon is a metaphor for black-hearted capitalists, so how come he enlightened his female assistant?

"I want to take half a day off tomorrow! To buy some..." Fujido Kaoru was about to say, but when she saw Namikaze Yukaku and Mikami Yuko, she shut up.

"What to do?"

"I'm taking half a day off anyway."

"... OK! Don't be too crazy."

"I'll go crazy if I keep looking at you every day!" Fujido Kaoru pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Thank you for the compliment." Oda Nobuo didn't take it seriously.

Namikaze Youhe suddenly said, "I want to take a leave as well."

Yuko Mikami: "And me."

Oda Shingo: “???”

The next day, the three girls were not there early in the morning.

Oda Shingo was a little confused.

Only Mrs. Yukino arrived on time, and she was a little surprised: "They are not here?"

But Mrs. Yukino arrived in the afternoon as usual.

"I've asked for leave." Oda Shingo shrugged.

"Oh." Mrs. Yukino changed into slippers and sat on the sofa.

In such a large studio, there are only two people, Oda Shingo and Mrs. Yukino.

I don’t know why, but as Oda Nobuo was painting, he felt his heart beating a little faster.

He glanced at Mrs. Yukino and was surprised to find that she had also turned her eyes away.

Could it be that Mrs. Yukino has the same idea as me? Oda Shingo was surprised.

No, no, Mrs. Yukino wouldn't be that rude. Oda Shingo quickly corrected his thoughts.

Time passed quietly, with only the hands of the quartz clock on the wall ticking.

Damn it, I should have bought a completely silent clock! It's like it's deliberately trying to make me uneasy.

Oda Shingo, who usually paid no attention to the sound of the quartz clock, began to have some wild thoughts at this time.

Oh, by the way, the clock came with Mrs. Yukino's house. Does it have any meaning? Could it be that Mrs. Yukino's heart is also restless like this quartz clock?

As soon as Oda Shingo thought of this, he shook his head violently.

What are you imagining? Even Conan wouldn't make such an irrelevant inference, right?

Taking two deep breaths, Oda Shingo tried to calm his mind.

At this time, Mrs. Yukino stood up and said, "I'll go buy clothes too."

"Ah? What about buying clothes?" Oda Shingo was stunned.

"Don't you think that they all asked for leave to go out and buy clothes to wear to the celebration tomorrow?" Mrs. Yukino asked back.

Oda Shingo slapped his forehead and understood.

Mrs. Yukino walked to the door and was about to go out.

"Then, Mrs. Yukino, will you also dress up and attend the event tomorrow?" Oda Nobuo asked quickly.

"...No, I don't like places that are too crowded." Mrs. Yukino opened the door and was about to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Oda Shingo's expression of disappointment that he could hardly conceal.

She paused as she walked out, smiled and said, "You want to see me wearing clothes other than kimono?"

Oda Shingo was stunned, and quickly responded: "Ah, although it is very rude to say this, it is undeniable... yes."

Mrs. Yukino's smile was so charming: "If there is a chance, I can wear it for you to see..."

After saying that, she opened the door and left, leaving Oda Shingo still in a daze.
