I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

"It's not that they have a good relationship, she's just a good person."

"I will repay her well!"

Before this, Machida Sonoko had come to see him.

And I believe that Kasumigaoka Utaha should know better than anyone how good that deputy editor-in-chief is.

It is not easy to find people who can let authors just focus on writing books and not worry about other things.

If Kasumigaoka Utaha is a good horse, then Machida Sonoko must be her horse trainer.

In the light novel industry, she could have made great achievements, but now she has to switch to writing popular novels.

If you put yourself in the deputy editor's shoes, you will probably be furious after knowing the truth.

But Kasumigaoka Utaha is not an ungrateful person. She will naturally remember the kindness of Machida Sonoko, but she will not give up her determination to write popular novels.

Regarding what happened between them, Aki Tomoya could only say a few words, and couldn't say more.

"I still have to read, so I won't bother you."

"Ah."

After seeing the last news about Tomoya Aki, Kasumigaoka Utaha fell headfirst onto the bed.

Holding the pillow, Kasumigaoka Utaha actually had a lot to say, but the medical student from the University of Tokyo opposite her didn't give her much time.

"I really want to find someone to complain to. How did I manage to pass this test?"

But she didn't tell anyone.

Maybe it’s really enough to just let everyone see the results.

At this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha imagined that if it were the current Eriri, she would probably act coquettishly without any scruples.

It seems that she only wrote about acting like a spoiled child in books.

After looking at the phone for a long time and thinking, Kasumigaoka Utaha slowly typed with her fingers.

"I still want to know what the first reader I know will think of my debut work again."

I wrote this paragraph, then slowly withdrew it without sending it.

“It’s only released in November…”

This is Kasumigaoka Utaha's debut work after her transformation, and it was released in November, one month after Kudo Sayaka's debut work.

"Feeling a bit tired."

Transformation is not that easy either.

But I don't want to show my weak side.

"Don't I want to give in to him?"

Subconsciously analyzing her own psychology, Kasumigaoka Utaha laughed at herself.

Thinking that the other party might not care, I feel like I'm just worrying about nothing.

If she wants to show her weak side, it might be more appropriate to be in front of her good friend Eriri and her editor Machida Sonoko.

But for some unknown reason, she entered the withdrawn text again.

"Excuse me, when will Senior's novel be released?"

But before she sent it, Aki Tomoya suddenly asked again.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment, then withdrew the text to be sent and told the other party the time when her work would be released.

"I know. I'll take a look."

"You didn't even ask my name. If you want to comfort me, you don't have to treat me like this."

For a moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a little pitiful for herself.

I was comforted by my junior in a somewhat perfunctory way, and I felt a little speechless.

The release date was told to the other party, but it wasn't like her was the only novel released that day, and she wasn't a big star, so who would know who she was if she was using a pseudonym?

Without asking the name, just saying you will watch it, it's just a perfunctory response no matter how you watch it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought about it and thought that the other party might have guessed her mood.

"I will watch it. I will watch it."

She still gave a perfunctory reply, but Kasumigaoka Utaha could only smile helplessly at this moment.

Let's just leave it at that.

When the other party actually read it, a reader named TAKI followed suit, which felt pretty good.

Simply speaking as an author, I have loyal readers supporting me.

But that's about it.

The other party was just being polite and taking her feelings into consideration as a former reader.

But that's it, it's already pretty good.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had nothing to complain about at the moment.

"But when I think about my loyal readers, they actually say this out of pity for me, it's so annoying!"

She was a little envious of her junior in the literature department.

Not as a woman, in terms of being an author.

"No, how can I, Kasumigaoka Utaha, be weaker than others! If you say you can watch, then really watch it for me!"

Chapter 230 Bugs (1/?)

Late September, Saturday, UDI Institute.

After receiving a request from the Musashino Police Station, the Misumi Squad went on duty.

The body was sent to the institute for autopsy in the afternoon.

"Please ask Aki-kun to help record it."

Today, Aki Tomoya works part-time at UDI. During the summer vacation, he was the only one willing to work here part-time. After school started, the situation was still the same.

Compared with the summer vacation, UDI has not changed much. One day of relaxation is considered a lot. The low dissection rate does not mean that there is no work. As we accept official and private commissions, we are busy almost every day.

Having one more person to help would make things a lot easier, not to mention that someone like Aki Tomoya who is already accustomed to the work environment could help with other things besides the recorder's job.

"Is this the case that you guys were on duty for this morning, Doctor Mitsumi?"

After changing into protective clothing, Akitomo asked.

On Saturday morning, which was this morning, the Sancheng class went to work, but Aki Tomoya did not go with them because the Zhongtang class also had dissection work to do.

If you want to help others, you still have to do your job well first.

In the morning, I went into the anatomy lab with the Zhongtang class, and in the afternoon, I went with the Sancheng class.

I chose to work part-time at UDI this Saturday, and it was more fulfilling than I imagined.

But then again, I got used to such fulfilling work during the summer vacation.

"The deceased, Miharakami, was unemployed and lived in a rental apartment in Nishi Musashino. According to the apartment manager, the deceased was usually taciturn and had changed jobs many times. He recently worked part-time at a nearby convenience store. When I asked for rent this morning, no one responded. After opening the door, I found the deceased collapsed in the room..."

Mori Tadashi explained the situation. This was not the first time they had met the detective from Musashino Police Station.

There is no Conan here, but there is also Officer Maori.

Whenever he appears, it's usually a murder.

"Come on, it should be suicide, it won't be an accident, right?"

"You are a police officer, Detective Maori. It is your responsibility to find out why the deceased died, right?"

Tokai Lin Xizi couldn't help but complain.

There are actually detectives who find troublesome. Japan is doomed!

"Please spare me. You said so. You have also seen the scene. Didn't you preliminarily conclude that it was suicide?"

"We never said suicide, it was an unnatural death! We can probably rule out homicide, but we need to find out why he died!"

Misaki Mikoto reminded Mori Tadashi with the rigor of a forensic scientist.

The man who died in the apartment was most likely not murdered, but at this point, we must find out why he died.

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Maori Tadashi replied helplessly.

Case closed, I really want to close the case.

Seeing the reaction of this Japanese detective, Tomoya Aki muttered to himself.

Should we say that his reaction of being bothered by trouble is irresponsible?

Forget it, it’s still not good to judge others.

However, one thing is certain: if there is any possibility of homicide, a case must be opened for investigation. This is a very serious issue.

"Then let's get started."

"Yes, I'm ready."

Picking up the camera in his hand and shaking it, Aki Tomoya said that he is always ready.

As always, start by inspecting the exterior to check for any external damage.

"The body is 169cm long... There is no obvious damage to the head... There are signs of poisoning..."

The work in the autopsy room has always been tedious and meticulous, maintaining the usual rigor of forensic medicine.

Misaki Mikoto's experience in dissecting 1,500 bodies is not as exaggerated as the 3,000 bodies of the Nakadō family, but it is still impressive.

One can't help but sigh that this is the person who became an associate professor in the forensic department of a university at such a young age.

He has rich practical experience and is also good at writing papers.

Aki Tomoya has already read the paper that Misaki Mikoto published in the magazine, and it is indeed amazing.

After an external examination, the dissection begins, checking step by step from the chest cavity to the abdominal cavity, carefully finding out all the problems inside the body.

"Is this... a bug?"

While recording, when he saw the stomach being cut open and the stomach residues being extracted, Aki Tomoya said something strange.

"Undigested worms."

Misumi Mikoto looked over and corrected herself.

"An undigested spider was found in the stomach. We need to check what species it is."

When recording Mikoto Misumi's words, Tomoya Aki's eyes looked a little subtle.

What happened to this deceased person?

There were actually worms in the stomach, and not just one.

"We found insect tissues that look like centipedes, cockroaches, etc...."

It's true that here you can see all kinds of strange dead people.

A dead person with worms in his stomach came in today.

"Don't tell me he ate it himself."

An Yilun couldn't help but mutter.

Eating insects, especially poisonous insects, what kind of habit is this?

If the deceased ate it himself, then he was really asking for death.

"This is very possible. Bottles filled with bugs were found at the scene. This is getting closer to suicide!"
