Chapter 0027

"Izumi-sama?" Iida Ayano heard the chief's mutter and repeated.

The editor-in-chief ignored her and looked at the work directly...

After only a while, he finished reading all three pages of the manuscript. Sure enough, the chief was old.

The chief nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay! It is indeed a rare work!"

Then turned to look at Iida Ayano, and said, "Editor Iida, this work will be signed by you!"

Iida Ayano was surprised when she heard his words: "Now? The competition is not over yet!"

"Well, this person is a bit special. If the contributor is Izumi-sama, then sign it now if you can sign it!" The editor-in-chief explained to her, and then said, "As for the ranking of the competition, I will publish it after the competition is over. , And the contract does not affect each other."

Iida Ayano nodded to express understanding, and curiously said: "Editor in chief, can I ask who this Izumi-sama is?"

The editor-in-chief pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, since you want to become his responsible editor, it doesn't hurt to tell you."

With that, he motioned for others to leave.

The other editors looked at Iida Ayano with envy, then turned and left and returned to their posts.

Seeing everyone gone, the editor-in-chief and Ayano Iida came to the side, and the editor-in-chief just said a word in a low voice.

"Our Manke Bookstore... is owned by the Izumi family." After speaking, he left, leaving only Ayano Iida standing in place, with an apparent expression on her face.

"No wonder..." Iida Ayano muttered to herself and smiled, "Then I look forward to meeting this young master Izumi."

After that, she took a brisk step and returned to her seat.

…

Toyosaki Academy.

Homura is having lunch with his club members.

Utaha ate her bento and said with a sigh: "Unexpectedly, Homura-kun prepared a bento for us. We bother you."

"It's no bother, the dishes are all the same, but the amount of cooking is a little bit more, not to mention the help of Megumi, which saves a lot of things fairly speaking!" Homura waved his hand and motioned to the women not to mind.

Om~! There was a vibration, and Homura picked up his phone and looked at the phone number that he didn't recognize.

"I'll answer the call first." After speaking to the three women, he answered the strange call.

"Hello, is this Izumi-sensei?" A mature female voice came across the phone.

Izumi-sensei? he thought for a while and realized that it should be a comic.

"Yes, I am Izumi, may I ask who is this?" Homura also politely asked, he guessed it was the editor.

Iida Ayano on the other end of the phone was surprised. What a young voice, it should be the young master Izumi.

"Hello, Mr. Izumi, I am Ayano Iida, the manga editor of Manke Weekly. This time I contacted you because of the signing of your manga "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun"." Ayano Iida said calmly the purpose of her call.

Iida Ayano? Homura was slightly surprised, this familiar name, this is Shiina Mashiro's manga editor!

This chaotic world has shocked him again, and soon calmed down, and the voice on the other end of the phone came again: "Mr. Izumi?"

"Excuse me, I'm a bit surprised, isn't the contest not over yet? Why did you sign the contract?" He asked in confusion.

"What you said is correct, but it does not affect our signing with you. After the contest is over, we will announce the ranking."

Homura understands that works with special potential must be given preferential treatment, otherwise, what should they do if it is taken away by other publishers?

Signing is fine, but I don't have time now!

Homura said with some embarrassment: "Editor Iida, I'm at school now. What do you think of it in two days? On Saturday, we will meet and discuss the contract."

"Okay, Izumi-sensei, where will we meet on Saturday?" Iida Ayano asked.

He thought about Sagiri who was afraid to meet strangers, and said, "I'll leave it for you to decide!"

"Then...Okay, I will notify Izumi-sensei after I decide the location."

"Izumi-sensei, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye." Iida Ayano said goodbye.

"It's okay, see you next time."

Hung up the phone and saved Ayano Iida's number. Looking at the three women who came over, Homura shrugged and said, "If you want to ask, just ask!"

Eriri couldn't help saying first: "Homura, is the editor who just called you?"

"Yes, I was surprised too! I just uploaded it yesterday, and I got called today."

Utaha then asked: "Homura-kun, the competition you participated in is not over yet, right? How did I hear you talk about signing the contract?"

He smiled: "I think they're afraid that I will run away and moved to another publishing house so to win me in advance, they prepared a contract!"

Finally, Megumi asked, "Homura-kun has decided to sign a contract?"

Homura nodded and replied: "Yes, I originally planned to let her come to my house to discuss the signing of the contract on the weekend, but when I thought that Sagiri was rather afraid of strangers, I let the other party decide the location!"

"That's right..." Said Homura remembered what he had agreed with Sagiri, and said to Eriri, "Eriri, Sagiri told me last night that she wants to meet you in her room after school!"

Eriri heard this as if she had seen a ghost, and asked Homura in shock: "You said Sagiri wants to see me today!? Didn't she avoid people after moving to your house? What did you do!?"

Homura stepped back a little, and smiled awkwardly: "Hey, I told her that you're Egoistic-lily, and she reluctantly agreed."

"!!!"

"You!!!" Eriri jumped up and wanted to catch him, and Homura ran away when he saw this.

"Stop running!" Eriri shouted while chasing, "How many people are you planning to tell about me!"

Homura ran wildly around Utaha and Kato Megumi: "As long as we know, not to mention that Sagiri will join our club in the future. It's okay to let her know in advance. You know each other on the Internet. Right?"

"Moreover, I want her to grow up as soon as possible, no matter in terms of drawing or other aspects."

Eriri finally stopped, panting heavily, and said unhappily, "Isn't she good enough! Her works are very famous!"

Homura also stopped and said seriously: "Sagiri still has big shortcomings. Eriri, I also think that you have shortcomings too. You two have a good talk and exchange experiences!"

Eriri did not speak, but she could barely agree with his words by looking at his expression.

Utaha raised a question: "Homura-kun, could it be said...that there is nothing that Kato and I can do?"
