Chapter 188. Don't be a bastard (8000 words goal achieved!)(1/2)

Before Higashinoji spoke, Hosokawa Koharu, who seemed to be a little wrong next to him, took the initiative to speak: "Editor-in-Chief Kota, is there anything worth caring about? I don't know much about it here."

She didn't hear anything about Yakaku and Mochi who needed to pay attention to.

After all, just working at Urashima Publishing House made her take full attention to her, so of course she didn't care about these things.

"It's normal for Hosokawa editor to be unclear. After all, I just got the news." Nobuji Koda waved his hand and then pondered: "Teacher Higashino, the next release date of your single-book seems to be in conflict with Mr. Komori of Iwakatsu Press."

As soon as he said this, Higashinoji and Hosokawa Koharu both showed a look of silence.

They are not fools, of course they understand what this means, isn’t this just a fight?

And it is a competition for single-line sales.

"Iwakao Publishing House and Mochi Bookstore have not been very comfortable in the past few months. The sales of single-books and single-volume books have been suppressed by Teacher Higashino several times."

Nobuji Koda said happily, his expression was a little gloating about his family's Taizuko Suzuki Ha had never beat Higashinoji, so naturally he didn't want to see Iwakatsu. The two publishing houses of Machia beat Higashinoji.

In addition, Yanjiao Publishing House and Mozhu Bookstore are also well-known brother publishing houses in the industry. The number one sales volume of single-volume books and single volumes on the credibility list is always the one that is monopolized by the two publishers, and they can't even squeeze out.

Other comic authors from unfamous publishing houses do not even have the qualifications to participate in the war and become cannon fodder, which can be said to be extremely miserable.

At this time, Nobuji Koda was naturally happy to see them defeated.

However, when Koda Nobuji explained, Higashinoji clearly felt that Hosokawa Koharu seemed to have some reaction to Iwakatsu Press.

Just as Nobuji Koda wanted to say something, a polite greeting suddenly came from behind the three of them: "Is it Higashino teacher from Urashima Publishing House?"

Higashinoji and the other two looked back and found that at some point, the two middle-aged men were already standing at the dining table not far behind them.

"It is Yamano Editor-in-Chief and Ken Komori of Iwakatsu Publishing House." Koharu Hosokawa explained to Higashinoji: "The teacher Komori mentioned by Editor-in-Chief Futa just now is the man who doesn't wear glasses."

As the editor-in-chief of the three major publishing houses, she naturally knows these editors and famous comic authors.

"Long time no see, editor-in-chief Futa, editor Hosokawa." Editor-in-chief Yamano glanced at Koharu Hosokawa and said politely: "Editor Hosokawa found that a comic author like Mr. Higashino is really amazing. It's because my previous conclusion was too abrupt. Sorry, I hope you don't care."

He spoke politely, but Hosokawa Koharu looked a little stiff: "It's nothing, Yamano Editor-in-Chief, I don't care much about the previous incident."

Seeing Koharu Hosokawa like this, Higashinoji couldn't help but look at Yamano's editor-in-chief of Iwakatsu Publishing House.

This is a middle-aged man.

Unlike Nobuji Koda, who was in a middle-aged hair crisis, his hair was well maintained, his eyes were very energetic, and his uniform was ironed neatly.

However, the corners of this person's eyes were pressed down, and he looked a bit vicious, which was particularly close to the Japanese samurai feeling. However, he was wearing glasses, which invisibly dissipated the viciousness.

And it can be seen that Hosokawa Koharu and the other party should have had an unpleasant past.

At least now, Hosokawa Koharu's face looked ugly, and his thick-stained eyebrows were shaking disobediently.

"I heard that when Editor Hosokawa was a new editor, he was scolded by Editor Yamano when he attended the publishing house gathering and seemed to be criticized very much. This caused Editor Hosokawa to sit on the bench for a long time, and no comic author dared to ask her to submit articles."

Nobuji Koda added in a low voice, after all, he was also present when Yamano editor-in-chief criticized Hosokawa Koharu last time. This is a fact.

After hearing this, Higashinoji suddenly realized.

It turns out that there are new and old hatreds.

Looking at the appearance of his editor-in-chief Hosokawa Koharu, Higashinoji pondered, then looked at Editor-in-Chief Yamano, and made up a certain decision without thinking.

"Hello, Teacher Higashino, I'm very happy to know you." Editor-in-chief Yamano took the initiative and introduced Higashinoji: "I am Yukio Yamano, editor-in-chief Yamano, the next person is Teacher Ken Komori."

"Well, I'm very happy to meet two of you." Higashino nodded happily.

He seemed pretty easy to talk to, which made Editor-in-Chief Yamano breathe and simply expressed his purpose: "Teacher Higashino, your single-book version of your work should be released on Monday two weeks later, right?"

"That's the case, may I ask what advice do you have?"

"Where can there be room for negotiation on that date? Yours and our single-book release date of Mr. Ken Komori is in conflict with the release date of the book."

Editor-in-chief Yamano expressed his purpose: "There is no need for such competition between our two families. It is better to stagger the release dates of single-books to seek each other's best sales."

This is actually very common in publishing houses. After all, delaying the release date of a single-book for one or two days will not affect anything, and it can also avoid competitors, so a fool will not do it.

According to Higashinoji's previous smooth and smooth personality, it is normal to agree to win-win situations for each other.

But today Higashinoji seems to be a fool.

Regarding the request of Yamano Editor-in-Chief, Shi Higashino politely smiled and shook his head: "Yano Editor-in-Chief, I think it is normal for each other to compete in the comics industry. There is a saying that can lead to each other's progress. I am looking forward to fighting with Teacher Komori."

He said this, and Koharu of Hosokawa next to him was stunned, and then there was an inexplicable layer of touching mist in his eyes. Next to her, Nobuji Koda could not help but be stunned when he listened to Higashiji's words.

They didn't expect Higashinoji to hit him in a straight head.

Even the editor-in-chief Yamano felt that he had heard it wrong or that Higashinoji was joking, but looking at Higashinoji's expression didn't look like a joke.

"Teacher Higashino, this is unnecessary. Such competition is not beautiful," said Yamano editor-in-chief with a smile.

"Well, I know, I can understand." Higashinoji nodded to this and expressed his understanding, but also said: "But if I have to change the sales date of the single-line book, it will have a certain impact on the serialization. So I can only hope that the editor-in-chief Yamano can take a step back and delay it for two or three days later. How about it?"

His words were completely soft nails. Compared to slandering, this soft nail made Editor-in-Chief Shanye feel like he had no place to use his strength.

You should know that Ken Komori's animation has been scheduled for a long time, and the release date is only one day short of the release of animated TV. This time is impossible to be transferred at all. If it is transferred, the sales volume and performance of a single book will inevitably be affected.

But at the same time, Yukio Yamano felt a little uncomfortable.

Originally, he came over to discuss with Higashinoji.

After all, he also considered the possibility that even if there was animation and promotion of the first color page of the volume, he could not beat Higashinoji.

If Higashinoji could take the initiative to withdraw from the competition, this would undoubtedly be what he would like to see.

But judging from the current situation, Higashinoji made up his mind to meet them.

Of course he felt a little uncomfortable.

But Higashinoji gave him soft nails, and he was embarrassed to tear his face directly, which made him lose his grace, so he could only shake his head regretfully and said, "It seems that we cannot reach a consensus among us, Teacher Higashino. Then let's divide the sales of a single book."

Higashinoji also sighed, looking helpless: "Okay, I understand. Since Editor-in-Chief Yamano insisted on making achievements in a single book, I can only face it."

His evil man's behavior of complaining first made Editor-in-Chief Yamano almost smoky.

Haven't you always expressed your desire to compete?

Why does it become my fault for making a single book when it comes to your mouth?

Editor-in-chief Yamano glanced at Higashinoji again, and felt that this bite was full of soft nails, and he couldn't even stand the truth.

So he could only speak to Higashinoji: "Teacher Higashino, next time Mr. Komori will be animated to promote it. To be honest, you may be under great pressure to win."

Higashinoji also smiled and said, "Is that right? It just so happens that I always feel that life still needs some pressure. This pressure feels just right, and I am motivated again."

Nobuji Fuda, who was on the other side, couldn't help but cough several times when he heard Higashiji's words.

He could see that Higashinoji was probably venting his editor-in-chief.

But I have to say that Higashinoji has a strong communication and conversation ability. I believe Yukio Yamano must be very depressed too.

Ken Komori, next to Yukio Yamano, shook his head and sighed in his heart.

After a long time, I still have to confront Higashinoji head-on. Isn’t this no difference from the origin?

They both nodded and said goodbye.

When Koharu Hosokawa next to him saw this scene, he couldn't help but lean on and said, "Teacher Higashino, you shouldn't have agreed to the proposal of Yamano to change the sales date. At least you don't have to engage in such a vicious competition."

After all, no one can tell how much overlap there is between Higashinoji's readers and Ken Komori's readers.

When two pillars compete, the loss of the two people must be the interests of the two people.

In addition, whether Higashinoji can play the animation Ken Komori is still a question.

You should know that it is animated, and will continue to update twelve episodes, and last for a whole period of time.

Unlike last time, Akisa Kuromiya was just OVA, the update ended in two or three episodes.

So there is no need for Higashinoji to do this.

Hosokawa Koharu didn't understand it either.

Why is Higashinoji, who has always been very wise, now seems to have kowtowed medicine, this is no longer a problem.

It's simply a metal head made of titanium alloy.

What's going on?

"Teacher Higashino is probably venting his anger for Hosokawa editor." Nobuji Koda explained to Hosokawa Koharu: "Last time, Hosokawa editor just joined Urashima Publishing House, he came here to attend the party. Wasn't he scolded that old boy Yamao?"

"is that so?"

Hosokawa Koharu opened his mouth, and for a moment he couldn't speak.

She looked at Higashinoji, her mouth moved, a little moved, but soon shook her head hard again, and sighed deeply: "Teacher Higashino, you don't need this."

Higashinoji waved his hand to Koharu Hosokawa's words, not commenting on it.

Higashinoji is actually a very pure person. No matter how you provoke him, he will only laugh happily, and only push you to the point of being a critical moment and let you fall into the pit.

But if you touch his friend, Higashinoji doesn't mind pushing you into the pit from the beginning.

After all, he has worked with Hosokawa Koharu for a long time. The other party promised to run a series of double-openings on Aoba, and even won him the position of the first color page of the volume.

To be honest, Higashinoji is taken care of by Koharu Hosokawa.

If he didn't stand up at the critical moment and exclaimed his anger to Koharu Hosokawa, Higashinoji felt that he was just a pure bastard.
To be continued...
