If I don't capture the girl, I will die

They might be able to work closely together, and if they can spark some romance...

Isn't that how it's written in novels and comics?

At the entrance of the busy building, several polite and courteous staff members quickly came out with polite smiles.

This is the person in charge of reception in the company.

Among these people, Ji Qi saw Kagurazaka waving at him.

"Hello, Teacher Kasumi Shiko, Teacher Himeshichi, welcome, welcome, good morning. Um...and what is the name of this beautiful lady?" Kagurazaka walked quickly up to the few people and greeted them with a smile on his face.

Another group of students next to them did not receive such good treatment.

They were simply invited in by the staff with a formulaic smile.

Even a fool can see the difference in their attitudes.

"Yukikinoshita Yukino."

Yukinoshita Yukino crossed her arms across her chest with a puzzled look in her eyes.

She knows that Ji Qi writes novels, and so does Kasumigaoka Utaha?

There is another problem.

The reason why he chose the publishing house is also very clear.

"Okay, let's go upstairs first. I'll hand over the work to you guys in a bit, and then I'll go home."

After saying that, Kagurazaka led the three of them into the building in front of them.

The company with air conditioning on and the dry weather outside are two extremes.

The receptionist bowed politely to them.

Kagurazaka walked straight past the reception area on the first floor of the company and took the elevator directly under the confused gazes of those students.

Yukinoshita held her chin in her hand, deep in thought.

This development was different from the script she had imagined.

"To be honest, I've been a bit busy lately, and your coming here is a real help." On the way, Kagurazaka started the conversation in a familiar manner.

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't say anything.

Yukinoshita Yukino also had no interest in such casual conversation topics.

"We will help you with it. After the internship, Miss Kagurazaka, remember to get a higher score." Seeing that the two girls were silent, Ji Qi took the initiative and made this request very naturally. Anyway, he was here anyway, although it was of no use, it would be nice to make his resume look better.

"That depends on your abilities." Kagurazaka did not agree immediately, but said cunningly.

We chatted casually and arrived at the editor's room.

Kagurazaka said "wait a moment", then moved a chair for each of them, poured them a cup of tea, and then took out a notebook from the tidy desk and handed it to Ji Qi.

It says what editing work they are going to do today.

Obviously, Kagurazaka thought that Himeshichi was the real leader among the three, not Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yukinoshita, who had been as quiet as a cat, did not feel dissatisfied with this.

In front of outsiders, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who has always been a typical literary girl, yawned.

Both of them simultaneously threw the entire reception work to him.

Ji Qi scanned the notebook in front of him from top to bottom.

The work is similar to what we discussed yesterday.

I urged the author to submit manuscripts, read the manuscripts, interviewed Kasumigaoka Utaha and improved her outline.

These are the only highlights.

Seeing that Ji Qi had finished reading, Kagurazaka sat on the chair and asked, "Any questions?"

Ji Qi didn't answer in a hurry, but handed the manuscript to Yukinoshita Yukino next to him.

This action made Kasumigaoka Utaha's thigh tremble.

As a perfectionist, Yukinoshita asked two questions after watching the specific actions: "Ms. Editor, I would like to ask, for authors who are urging us to submit manuscripts, is our identity as editors useful? Can we contact the other party to sign a contract for the manuscripts we like?"

"Of course I can do the first one. As for signing a contract... I can't do that for now." Kagurazaka answered with some difficulty. She didn't expect Yukinoshita to be so serious. Once she signed a contract with an author, she would be legally responsible. She was not qualified to sign an author casually.

"I understand."

Feeling confident, Yukinoshita nodded.

"That's about it. If there are no other questions, I'll be leaving first. Also, if you have any questions during work, you can call me~"

Finally, Kagurazaka turned and walked out the door and gave a worried reminder.

"Okay." Ji Qi responded. Although he wanted to say that with Yukinoshita Yukino around, it would be hard for them not to be serious, but considering that it was the first time she and Kagurazaka met and they didn't know her personality, he gave up.

After Kagurazaka left, there were only three of them left in the fairly spacious editorial office.

Utaha Kasumigaoka was sitting on a chair, yawning, looking like she was sleep deprived.

Ji Qi was very confused and didn't know what to do because Yukinoshita took a brand new notebook and pen from the desk and wrote and drew on the blank paper.

I have to say, Yukinoshita is a girl who is decisive and serious.

It makes people feel relieved to hand over the work to her.

……

PS: This chapter is two chapters of 4000 words combined, so it counts as two updates, and there will be another update later!

Chapter 168 We are all wings!

"Let's assign the work specifically." The pen in her hand stopped writing, Yukinoshita raised her head and turned her gaze to the two of them.

Ji Qi quietly walked over and took a look at what Xueshita had written.

"First of all, to be honest, I'm not very familiar with the work of an editor because I've never been exposed to it before."

As soon as Yukinoshita came up, she started exposing her shortcomings.

When she heard the woman talking, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was drowsy in a chair nearby, suddenly woke up.

"So, when I start working, I need someone to assist me first." Yukinoshita drew a cross next to the solo action in the notebook.

Ji Qi's mouth twitched. Although it was reasonable, why did it feel weird?

"Not only that, I've read no more than three so-called light novels, so I'm not capable of doing the job of reading manuscripts." Yukinoshita said in a cold voice, and put a cross next to the words "read manuscripts" on the notebook.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had a half-smile on her face, her legs stretched straight, quietly waiting for Yukinoshita to reveal her purpose.

"So, considering our personalities, our strengths, and our dislikes, he and I will go there to collect the manuscripts, while Kasumigaoka-san will stay in the editorial office to read the manuscripts. When we come back, we will interview you and write the article. This arrangement is the most suitable."

In a short while, Yukinoshita wrote a lot of words and punctuation marks on the blank notebook.

I have to say, judging from the literal meaning, her choice was indeed the right one. It was completely businesslike.

That calm and matter-of-fact look made it difficult for others to think that she had any selfish motives.

There is no doubt that Kasumigaoka Utaha's personality is not suitable for urging submission of manuscripts.

Moreover, as a light novel writer, Shiyu can easily handle the task of reading manuscripts.

Although it was also inappropriate for Yukinoshita Yukino to urge for submission of manuscripts, she thought that her situation was still better than that of Kasumigaoka Utaha.

With Ji Qi, who is well versed in the ways of the world, by his side, this problem was easily solved.

What did that guy say last time?

Kasumigaoka Utaha sneered. She said such nice things, but her fox tail was still exposed.

The two of them went out together for the whole day, leaving her alone in the editorial office.

The calculation is quite good.

Although this arrangement is the most appropriate considering the identities of the students, she doesn't care!

At the same time, a great sense of crisis arose in my heart.

Although she had seen the two of them together in the past, she had never had such a strong feeling.

Really. Why did it turn out like this?

Shouldn't Ji Qi be the kind of person that no one notices?

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Even now, his interpersonal relationships are very simple, and he can see it with his own eyes.

I don’t have any bad habits, and what I do every day is very reassuring.

It's just... he's a bit of a homebody, and the few people he knows are all girls.

This is probably an illusion, right?

Shouldn't she let go of her girlish reserve a little and be more proactive?

But I feel so ashamed.

While thinking in her heart, Kasumigaoka Utaha said without showing any weakness: "I object."

Hearing different opinions, Yukinoshita Yukino was not angry, her expression was still cold, "Oh? Tell me your reasons."

"I think the order should be reversed. We should first let Junior-kun help me with the interviews and perfect the outline. He can also read the manuscript. Ms. Yukinoshita can just call and come to urge the manuscript. I believe in your ability. Finally, if you can't do it alone, we can come together."

Shi Yu glanced at Ji Qi, then pursed her lips and gave a serious suggestion.

Caught in the middle and watching the undercurrent of confrontation between the two women, Ji Qi had an awkward smile on his face.

Nothing he said was appropriate.

"I just said it. It's not that I don't want to do it alone, but I can't." There was a puzzled expression on Yukinoshita's face, and I didn't know if she was pretending or serious.

Her choice, which was made entirely from the perspective of the overall situation, would temporarily put her one step ahead.

"It's okay, it's very simple. If you don't know how, I can teach you, Yukinoshita-san. Maybe if I just make a phone call, they will hand in their manuscripts obediently."

Kasumigaoka Utaha said playfully. Anyway, there were only three people here, and Ji Qi was already very familiar with her character. She didn't care about how Yukinoshita Yukino felt about her, so these seemingly unreasonable words were easily said out of her mouth.

She did not go to be sarcastic to Yukinoshita Yukino.

There's no point in doing that other than venting your anger.

"It's wrong for you to do this, both in terms of academic performance and in terms of your own training, Kasumigaoka Utaha." Yukinoshita Yukino narrowed her eyes, and her originally calm words took on a hint of coldness.

"Hit? Do you think Ms. Yukinoshita dares to say that she is absolutely right and has no selfish motives?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's mature and beautiful face showed a hint of mockery. She did not say that she was right, but pulled Yukinoshita to the same position as her.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder that was about to explode.

Although the core of the topic has always been Ji Qi, the two girls have completely ignored him at this time.

Yukinoshita Yukino paused, closed her eyes, and said firmly: "Yes, I am absolutely right."

Her long-standing obsession with what is right prevents her from lying.

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her head, her bright eyes reflecting the famous snow girl, "Oh... you didn't deny it."

There is no denying anything, and in this case, it is very clear.

The two girls stood up without knowing when.

That graceful and perfect figure can make countless girls envious.

But their expressions were so cold.

In the end, after arguing for a long time, no result was reached.

Facing the two girls who were at loggerheads, Ji Qi rubbed his aching brows.

He really wanted to say, "You are all my wings."

But...Shiyu's words in his ear last time are still fresh in his mind.

He doubted that if he really said that, Sister Shiyu would really turn evil. Nothing good would come of Yukinoshita either.

"In that case, the minority should obey the majority." Yukinoshita Yukino breathed out. The regrettable southeastern plain of England on her chest rose and fell a little.

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha's reasons were not very sufficient, she surprisingly did not have the confidence to correct her today.

In the end, this is the only method left.
