Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 103 Editor and Author

Chapter 103 Editor and Author (Part )
Miss Matsueda Muko was sulking for two days because her report card was not produced.

Toru Ryukawa went to Tokyo with his girlfriend in mid-February.

The weather has been gradually warming up since the beginning of the month. Along the way, we saw the ice and snow melting and the grass and trees growing wildly.

When he arrived in Tokyo, someone was already waiting for him there.

"Hey, Ryukawa-kun." He spoke in the poor Kansai accent he had just learned on TV.

Taro Ono, wearing casual clothes and accompanied by a little girl, waved to Ryukawa Toru and another man who got off the train at Tokyo Station.

"Who is this person?"

Longchuan Che sighed.

When Taro Ono is not at work, he wears a leather jacket and sunglasses, giving off a retro vibe from the last century that makes people feel embarrassed to respond to him.

"I didn't expect you to come to Tokyo."

Taro Ono was wearing the makeup that his daughter had given him, a look that young people would definitely like, and he nudged his daughter, who was also looking weird, with his hand.

【welcome! 】

Looking at the junior high school girl holding up the light sign, Ryuukawa Tetsu knew that this was probably the two people's way of welcoming each other.

"Don't do this next time, I beg you."

Longchuan Che asked for help from someone first, but he didn't expect that the person he asked was his own editor.

I can understand that the other party wants to express enthusiasm, but ordinary people really can't handle two unique styles.

"You are the author, it's normal for fans to pick you up in the car." Ono Taro smiled and walked up to hug the lonely young man.

Driving an old Toyota sedan, we headed from Chiyoda Ward, where Tokyo Station is located, all the way to Shinjuku Ward.

"Is today the written interview at Waseda University?"

"Ah."

"Didn't you say you wouldn't come to Tokyo?"

"Changed my mind."

"Because of a girlfriend?"

"That's it."

Deal with nagging middle-aged people casually.

The car passed the Imperial Palace and drove through Ginza.

Chuo Ward is luxurious and magnificent, Chiyoda Ward is neat and clean, Shinjuku Ward has the largest station in the country, and Shibuya Ward has the most turbulent flow of people.

Tokyo is indeed a prosperous city. When Ryukawa Toru was watching it with great interest, he found that Ono Taro was poking him with his finger.

"Sss~" The editor-in-chief looked a little obscene.

"what?"

"there."

The car drove along a red street with words like [Hosting], [Free], [Service] written on the roadside.

"What is that?" Long Chuan Che frowned, not quite understanding it.

"Kabukicho Ichibangai, many authors like to go there." Ono Taro's expression was not only obscene, but also a little ambiguous.

The largest red-light district in Asia?
Longchuan Che was stunned for a moment, then looked through the rearview mirror at Songzhi Muzi who was chatting enthusiastically with the little girl.

The girl was wearing a plush coat and a scarf, and the sunlight on her face was warm and pleasant.

"I'm not interested. I won't go to such a place."

Long Chuan Te didn't know whether the other party heard him or not. Anyway, his tone was serious and his expression was also very serious.

Miss Matsueda Muko, who was chatting behind her, smiled.

The car drove all the way.

Let Longchuan Che see most of the prosperity of Tokyo.

At the gate of Waseda University where Ryukawa Toru and his friends were going, two women had been waiting there early today.

"Sister Takeda, will that amazing author you mentioned really come today?"

A girl with a bob haircut, with a slightly immature look on her face, looks at the working women around her.

Wearing a classic OL uniform and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

A little intellectual, but more charming.

Takako Takeda raised her glasses on the bridge of her nose, her expression calm.

"The author of the Edogawa Ranpo Prize will be here today."

"The author of Only Cats Know?" The young girl's eyes lit up.

The two are editors of Kodansha's newly established editorial team.

After the New Year, Ms. Takako Takeda, who was said to have a strong background, became the editor-in-chief of the newly formed editorial team, responsible for the signing rights of a series of Kodansha publications including pure literature, popular literature, and light novels.

The girl is currently the only operator under her command.

"Ah, it would be great if I could get a commission from her work." The girl clenched her fist to encourage herself.

The newly established editorial team is in great need of achievements and authors.

Most famous authors already have cooperating editors, and authors like this who have just won the Newcomer Award are exactly what their editorial team needs.

"Sister Takeda wouldn't be accused of using a backdoor by so many people."

Chiyo Tanabe secretly glanced at the beautiful woman.

She was wearing a black OL uniform, with her plump thighs tucked into shiny flesh-colored stockings.

The woman was so charming and beautiful that she attracted the attention of most of the editorial department as soon as she arrived. However, due to the presence of her sister who was a general manager, many people did not dare to mess with her.

If you are good-looking and have privileges, you don't have to worry about other people's feelings.

Such people are easily gossiped about behind their backs.

'A useless flower vase' 'Nepotism is already a minor offense.'

Some even said that she and her sister were both mistresses of some important figure.

Chiyo Tanabe didn't want to hear any dirty talk, she just hoped that the other party could quickly sign a contract with one or two influential authors to achieve some results.

After all, although he is a little cold, he is a nice person.

Standing at the university gate, the waiting time was boring. Chiyo Tanabe thought for a while and took out a literary magazine.

"What is this?" Mrs. Takeda took a glance and felt that it looked familiar.

"'Xinchao', it's very popular right now."

Chiyo Tanabe turned the book to the page with the words "Snow Country" and began to read it with familiarity. The familiar words made Mrs. Takeda dazed.

Once you leave there, it's as if some people have disappeared.

No contact, no phone calls, and no greetings.

"It's time to enroll in schools nationwide. Are you still staying in Yamanashi?"

Under the sunlight, the woman had a complicated expression.

"Do you like his books?" Editor-in-Chief Takeda's voice became a little gentle for the first time.

It is very difficult to lead an editorial team alone, especially since she has no experience and can only imitate her sister and pretend to do things.

"Quite like."

Tanabe Chiyo nodded honestly, "Although my teacher said before that his article is not suitable for current literature, his writing is very delicate."

Women are emotional creatures, Chiyo Tanabe pointed to her favorite sentence.
-
The moment her eyes overlapped with the lights, she looked like a gorgeous and beautiful luminescent insect dancing in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"I guess he's a very gentle person, and I will support his stand-alone book coming out next month."

Gentle? Ryukawa Tetsu?

Takako Takeda really wanted to cut open the other person's brain to see if there was any problem with the folds on it.

"Don't contact this author, okay?"

Takako Takeda looked at her sweet-looking and easy-to-bully subordinates.

Japanese editors have the right to commission articles independently, and you can find out the contact information of many authors by asking.

"He'll let you do your business."

The so-called pillow business is equivalent to the unspoken rules.

Chiyo Tanabe looked at her editor-in-chief curiously.

"Sister Takeda knows him?"

"I know him. He's an old, ugly, smelly man."

Because there was not much information about Longchuan Che outside, the woman made up stories about him at will.
