Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 103 Then I want to eat too! (Third update!)

"No one has any comments, right?" Editor-in-Chief Urashima asked again.

There are no edits to speak below.

To be honest, they are very helpless now.

Obviously, the first chapter of "The Lonely Gourmet" is about a very simple and everyday thing.

To sum it up in simple words, the middle-aged man received a difficult customer, was overwhelmed, and then felt hungry, so he found a restaurant to eat.

It's such a simple daily plot.

However, it is such a simple plot, but Higashino has meticulously processed it into a story of a fighter fighting against reality with great momentum.

This is no longer just a problem of Higashino Division's painters, but Higashino Division's ability to conceive plots has also risen to a higher level.

His ability to conceive a plot has improved to a higher level than in "Midnight Ring".

"This is a geek," an editor below whispered.

But the muttering was the same, and the editor present took a peek at Xiaochun Hosokawa again incomprehensible.

They were all a little confused.

Why didn't I find out before that this newcomer editor still has this skill?How can you guide a newcomer author to such a height?

Yes, newcomers like Higashinoji obviously need a qualified guide.

As his editor in charge, Hosokawa Koharu must have had a huge influence on Higashino Division, maybe this time "The Lonely Gourmet" was also her idea.

Why didn't I find out that Hosokawa Koharu has this ability before?

The old people looked at Hosokawa Koharu and secretly made up their minds. They didn’t see it before, and now it’s still too late. Let this newcomer, Hosokawa Koharu, have a meal and ask her what experience she has, how can she cultivate an author like Mr. Higashino? Won't you lose face?

Just as they were thinking this way, the editor-in-chief Urashima, who had been silent at the top, finally spoke:

"Since everyone agrees, it's decided. "The Lonely Gourmet" is listed on the front page of the monthly magazine "Aoba."

As he spoke, he paused: "By the way, you and the people in the printing department also said hello, and asked them to postpone the release date of the booklet of "Midnight Ring", and put the release date of the booklet of "Midnight Ring" in the monthly magazine " When "Aoba" was published."

At that time, taking advantage of the upsurge of the "Midnight Ring" booklet, and then taking the opportunity to launch Higashino's new work "The Lonely Gourmet"-this is a very common marketing method.

At that time, just the words 'the new work of Mr. Higashino, the author of "Midnight Ring" was enough to attract those readers to come and buy "Green Leaf".

but

"Ms. Higashino is really amazing." Editor-in-Chief Urashima looked at the original manuscript of "The Lonely Gourmet" in his hand and sighed.

His request can be said to be somewhat difficult, but Dong Yesi was able to complete it, and it can even be said to have exceeded the standard.

That's really great.

Thinking of this, the editor-in-chief Urashima coughed again, and added: "By the way, in order to celebrate the monthly magazine "Aoba" getting such an excellent manuscript, I decided to hold a dinner party after get off work today."

"As for the location"

Editor-in-Chief Urashima murmured, then turned to look at Koharu Hosokawa, with a smile on his face: "Leave this matter to Editor Hosokawa, you can ask Mr. Higashino, where is the Japanese restaurant in the manga."

Uh

Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth.

Looking at the faces of editor-in-chief Urashima and other colleagues who suddenly became eager, I seemed to think of the delicious dishes described by Higashino Tsukasa.

She swallowed: "Okay, I see."

Hosokawa Koharu also wanted to know the specific location of the Heshi Pavilion.

"Huh? Ah, got the front page qualification? Ah, it's all right, thanks to Editor Hosokawa for taking care of me, thank you."

Listening to Hosokawa Koharu's congratulatory words on the other end of the phone, Higashino nodded with a smile.

Great, my efforts were not in vain, and I was recognized by the editorial department of "Aversion to Chill".

Just when he was about to say something again, Chihaya Higashino suddenly came over and widened his eyes curiously: "Who is A Si talking to?"

"It's something about work." Higashino Division reached out and touched Higashino Chihaya's head.

"Hey? Is it the woman who wants to have an office romance with Asi?" Chihaya Higashino became interested all of a sudden.

Office romance?

Only then did Higashino remember that Chihaya Higashino had met Koharu Hosokawa before, but he still explained: "It is indeed editor Hosokawa."

Just when Higashino Chihaya wanted to ask something, Hosokawa Koharu over there finally spoke again:

"Congratulations are congratulations, but Higashino-sensei, can you tell me the specific address of the Japanese restaurant in "The Lonely Gourmet" first? We decided to have dinner here temporarily."

Impromptu decision to have dinner together?

Hearing this, Higashino Division's first reaction was, "Could it be possible that the poisoning was successful?" '

But soon he shook his head and replied:

"Of course, do you have a pen and paper? Let me tell you, the address is Komagome, Toshima District"

Seeing Higashino Si talking about unknown place names to the phone in a serious manner, Higashino Chihaya put his index finger to his mouth, raised his head halfway, wondering what he was thinking.

After Higashino Si finished the phone call, Higashino Chihaya grabbed his palm: "Asi Asi, are we going out for dinner?"

Ok?

Higashino was also taken aback when Higashino Chihaya asked him suddenly.

Then he suddenly realized.

Probably because when she introduced the Heshi Pavilion to Xiaochun Hosokawa just now, she listened to it and fell in love with it.

So Higashino nodded with a smile, and held Higashino Chihaya's palm instead: "Yes, we're going out to eat today, what would Miss Chihaya want to eat?"

Just now he got the news that the booklet of "Midnight Ring" is scheduled to be released in the middle of September [-]th, and it will be released together with "Green Leaf".

In addition to "The Lonely Gourmet", this is another good news. As a celebration, it is not impossible to go out for dinner with Chihaya Higashino.

"Then I want to eat mapo tofu!" Higashino Chihaya brought Higashino Si to the entrance to change shoes, and said seriously.

"Hey? The mapo tofu I make is better than the ones made outside, and it's more authentic." Dong Yesi joked cheerfully.

"A Si is lying, you have never been to China."

"Haven't been there doesn't mean it's not authentic or delicious."

"Then I want to eat too!" Higashino Chihaya crossed her hands in front of her chest angrily: "A Si really doesn't listen to my sister now."

"well"

The voice that gradually faded away completely disappeared as the yellowish porch lights went out.

Along the way, I could only hear Chihaya Higashino making a request in a low voice and laughing in response to Higashino Tsukasa.
