CHAPTER 25

After reviewing the sketch.

Tanjiro, Nezuko, Inosuke, Zenitsu.

One by one, the characters in the book jumped onto the paper one after the other.

Although slightly different from his print, it is quite similar to the original version.

But although the characters are very delicate and the expressions are quite intelligent, all the characters have the same characteristic.

That's why the characters look a bit shy, which except for zenitsu, the others don't have to do.

But nothing more would be a few small changes and that's it, it has almost the same style as the kimetsu of my world, but now that I think about it, this woman, wasn't she an erotic comics artist?

Because, due to this change, she doesn't have a hint of the essence of her other works, could it be that she also drew for other novelists?

Looking at the gentle and elegant wife in front of him, Shouko didn't quite believe it.

Saori noticed my look and asked.

"What is the problem".

-Well....

Shouko began a whole explanation, to describe the characters and improve the design as what it has to transmit, also the design of the environment and that it can bring the essence of Kimetsu from its world.

He spoke uniformly so that everything stays perfect, he also made some sketches of examples himself, since although Komi knew how to draw, Shouko had to improve it, since a novelist has to describe perfectly how they want their character to be drawn.

And unfortunately a few words are not always enough.

Time passed and it was 11 o'clock.

"Hey, it's too late!"

Saori looked at her watch on her wrist, she was a little scared and quickly said goodbye to Shouko.

"Shouko, I have to go now, I'll send the revised illustration to your mailbox in a few days, if you have any questions, you can contact me!"

-Okay, it's a pleasure to be able to clarify all the problems, any inconvenience, I'll speak to you privately.

"The pleasure is mutual, I'm leaving, see you, Shouko-san."

Goodbye, Miss Izumi.

Seeing his figure leave, Shouko couldn't help but sigh.

She left that professional attitude and her indifference returned, she had already noticed the looks of the people and more of the waitresses, a waitress left her number on the account, it was not the first time she had seen those intentions, but she didn't even care anymore.

It was already silly to put on his glasses now to hide, when everyone here had already seen him without them.

His gaze went to the window, where he saw the kadokawa building, so he decided to call his editor to let him know about everything he had done with his artist.

The ringtone began to play while waiting for Machida.

Elsewhere with Machida.

She, who was working, seemed a bit puzzled by the incoming call on the phone, then she set out to answer.

"Hello, my great teacher, do you have something to do with me?"

-Hello editor Machida, I haven't spoken to you for a long time, well I just came to tell you that today the artist and I just talked about the illustrations and the design problem is over.

"That's good to hear that, where are you now?"

-Hey...? , well we met in a cafeteria near kadokawa, why?

"No, it's just that I also talked to her a few days ago, about the same topic and she told me about the meeting place, you're still close to kadokawa.

-Okay, yes.

"And had lunch?".

Well, not yet...

"Let's have lunch together, what do you say, my lunch hour has already started and eating alone is boring."

Shouko wrinkled her eyebrows at the request, since it was not so much to her liking, but then she looked at the time and knew that she would be a long way from meeting up with Najimi and walking like a fool down the street all the time to meet up, it was not so much to her please and would be

So taking a deep breath and maintaining his composure, he accepted, even though it cost him a lot.

-It's fine...

"Very well, where is the cafeteria of your meeting?, to go look for you."

-Don't bother, I'm down in kadokawa right now, you can go directly.

"Okay, wait for me, I'll go down immediately"— Machida hung up the phone.

Putting the phone away, Shouko put the phone away and left the cafeteria with the looks of the waitresses.

As soon as he reached the ground floor of kadokawa, he saw his editor come out.

"Hehe, hi shouko, long time no see."

As soon as he saw her, Machida gave shouko a big hug.

He could feel her breasts collide against his body and shouko couldn't help but feel confused.

Machida's height was 1.75, obvious in heels, so her breasts reached the top of her belly button and her head rested on my breasts.

-Wow editor Machida, I didn't know it was for young people, please not yet, I'm very young and I have to stay a virgin until marriage.

"Hey, obviously you're misunderstanding all that, you should know that the old lady is still a big girl"—Scolded Machida with a smile.

The only good thing about talking with Machida is that she is a mature person, not like her mother, that she is always a 17-year-old for her whole life.

-If a big girl is 30 years old, then if editor machida, you are a big girl.

"Fuck you, I'm only 28, okay, come on, I'll take you to lunch."

Machida grabbed shouko's arm and pulled him towards his car.

"How about we go to the Kopei restaurant from last time?"

-It's fine for me.

Shouko nodded indifferently, she was here to eat and waste time of all, so she could eat anything, besides she was always a person who eats everything, as a child she was taught not to waste any food.

He got a little melancholy.

Since every time he remembered his past world, he did not remember faces, names or anything to recognize someone, only his actions and what he felt at that moment, apart from that, he felt that with the passage of time those memories were disappearing from his mind. .

That bothered him a bit, but what else can he do, to continue with his new life here.

Instantly, he suppresses his melancholy and continues with his usual self.

"Okay, let's get in the car then."

After a while, the two arrived at the Kopei restaurant.

"Welcome, Miss Machida is here."

As soon as we entered, Soma, who was in charge of ordering, greeted them. Obviously, Machida was a frequent visitor here.

Two of us arranged to sit down and machida ordered the order and soma sent it after a while, the two of them while waiting talked about shouko's novel.

"Shouko, the editor-in-chief, for the third volume, I approved it and it will be published in the middle of this month."

-Sounds good, thanks for your help, editor Machida.

"Come on, don't be so formal with me, you can just call me machida or machida sister."

-...

-Okay, machida sister.

"Hehe, shouko, the most important thing here is that your novel is well written, otherwise the library wouldn't have agreed to publish it so quickly", Machida waved his hand, hinting that he didn't get full credit.

"Also, I give you other news, her first sales volume has now surpassed 100, which is enough to prove the excellence of her novel, if this momentum continues, there should be no problem with the total sales of her novel exceed 5 million...".

-Mmm....5 million is not enough, my goal is tens of millions.—Shouko shook her head.

"Haha, so ambitious, keep going! If you can reach the 10 million level, I guess my position as editor-in-chief will be stable."

Machida strongly encouraged him to follow his goal.

The conversation went on like this, until Machida had to go back to work, he told me to go out again one day, I just nodded at his proposal and we said goodbye.

Shouko already prepared to take a taxi and go to the meeting location.

When he arrived, he began to wait, he had his glasses on, so no one paid attention to him and he waited calmly.

The minutes passed and shouko waited, then she felt someone touch one of her sleeves and she turned.

When he turned around he saw a woman and she told him.

"Sho-shouko-chan, hello, sorry for being late, I made you wait so long."

-...

[Huh?...Najimi?].

When Shouko saw her, she felt a bit strange, since Najimi looked at her maximum beauty capacity and with clothes of her liking, in Shouko's opinion.

It seems as if Najimi had a list of the things he likes and which I don't know, if I never told him any of that, I just told him my favorite color, which is Ruby and gold and if it's phosphorescent too.

Her hair shows that it was fixed by a beauty salon, since it had a platinum valayage and some black tones, which was very beautiful, and made her eyes shine, which in this case were golden, she had put on contact lenses, her shoes that cover a little higher, with lacesphosphorescent red, you can tell they are new.

He has tight black pants, but one of those that have tears, and at the waist he has gold buttons and a black belt with a gold buckle.

He had a white shirt but underneath it, he had a wine-colored polo shirt, the shirt was open and showed the polo shirt, which also seems to have put on a bit of a bust since it was noticeable if you look at it all the time, the buttons on the shirt were gold, on top of everything, he had a big jacketof black color that in the part of the arms, had phosphorescent red ties.

-Najimi?

"Y-yes?"

Shouko looked at Najimi's clothes in detail, her eyes roaming every part of her body.

Najimi wasn't stupid and she noticed this, her heart raced when she saw how shouko looked at every part of her, she felt that if shouko looked at her like that she wouldn't take it anymore and she would faint.

-Why, that big change of clothes, is it a special day?

"N-no, n-not at all, just...well...we're going to a cosplay event and I thought.....in dressing as one of those anime characters, I looked for a model that I liked it and.....from there I adjusted it to me".

-Hmm...

"How do you think I look...?"

-I'll be honest with you, Najimi, you look very beautiful, I must admit.

"S-really!"

-That's right, I like the colors and the details, today you surprised me dwarf.

And that was noteworthy, the people around did not stop seeing Najimi, it seems that today was the opposite day where Najimi stood out more than shouko.

Najimi was overflowing with happiness inside, it was difficult for shouko to give a compliment and when she asked for it, she only said it in a neutral way, showing that it was nothing.

But this time he could see the surprised expression and the different tone, implying that this was a sincere compliment, Najimi was very happy.

-Hears...

That of copying an anime character, it was a lie, rather I invite him to a cosplay event for that reason, so that the change of look does not look so sudden and that it is only a cover to hide it.

- Dwarf, answer.

She spent a long time researching but it was difficult to know exactly what Shouko likes, since she is not very open to such things, so I only had to see the designs she uses, some small details that I found out, by showing her photos many times of clothes to shouko and see herreaction and together with his favorite colors, I concluded in this.

It had taken Najimi a long time to make this day come and all her effort was worth it, a sincere compliment from Shouko filled her soul.

-Hey dwarf, I'm talking to you.

"E-Eh!, I'm sorry, I was in my thoughts."

Shouko just rolled her eyes and spoke again.

-Now, will you take me to the place where you told me?

"Yes, come on, let's go, the event will soon be about to start."

The trip began, where shouko would think it was a normal day, but for najimi it would be their first date.
