After waiting for a few minutes on the spot, several girls hurried over, and everyone was all complete.

Ryoko Kawano counted the number of people and did not find that the student was absent. Then he took the students to the museum area.

There is no need to pay the ticket fee to enter the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. Only by walking to a certain exhibition area will you have to pay the ticket fee.

But to be honest, this kind of ticket fee is not expensive. With the student ticket price, it only takes two or three hundred yen to enter the exhibition.

Ryoko Kawano announced the meeting time and meeting place outside the museum, and then organized a group of students to enter one of the exhibition halls.

Higashinoji and Konomiya Ryoga naturally mingled among the crowd.

As soon as the exhibition hall was advanced, Higashinoji relaxed.

There is no way. It was too hot outside just now. Japan itself belongs to an island country. The air is humid. After staying outside for a while, Higashinoji could feel that his body was damp and hot, and it was very uncomfortable.

"Student Higashino, do you want to visit the exhibition area with us?" Fukushima Tsubasa next to him sent an invitation in a timely manner, with a childish face wearing light makeup and a little expectation.

"I'm sorry, senior Fukushima." Higashinoji lowered his head and apologized: "I want to go to the art store over there and I'll be back to visit later."

"Do you want to buy something?" Fukushima asked curiously.

Higashinoji shook his head, approached him and said to her in a low voice: "I only told senior Fukushima about this matter, I want to be lazy. I have been standing outside for so long just now, and I am a little tired."

As he said that, Higashinoji smiled and nodded at her, with an expression of "I hope you can keep it secret".

High school girls are quite simple.

When I heard Higashinoji's words "I will only tell you this" with a little secret, Fukushima's face also smiled:

"I understand, I will keep it secret, Higashino."

Watching Fukushima Yuan and the others leave, Higashinoji breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

He actually didn't plan to be lazy, but was planning to go to a nearby mobile phone store to take a look and buy a new mobile phone.

After all, he is still well-off now, so it is naturally inconvenient to contact Hosokawa Koharu with his home landline. Moreover, there are many civilian mobile phones in Japan, which are not expensive, so it is also good to apply for a phone card.

So Higashinoji wanted to take this opportunity to take a look at the mobile phone store outside.

After leaving the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum and walking for more than ten minutes, Higashinoji found a mobile phone store.

After completing various procedures for registration and payment, Higashinoji finally got an old-fashioned flip phone.

It's not a popular model. Anyway, as long as you can call, Higashinoji doesn't have much requirements for this thing.

When he got the phone card and installed it, Higashinoji was a little clumsy in manipulating the phone.

There is no way. I used a lot of full-screen smartphones in my previous life. Now that I can use this phone again, Higashinoji will be able to find a link to the address book for a while.

But at least it was a man from the Celestial Empire in the 21st century. Higashinoji got used to the operation method of this broken mobile phone.

He also called Hosokawa Koharu.

Hosokawa Koharu quickly answered the phone: "Hey? Who is it?"

"I am Higashinoji, editor of Hosokawa." Higashinoji said hello and explained the reason with a smile: "That's right, I have bought a new mobile phone. In the future, editor of Hosokawa will call this number and contact me."

"Ah...it's Teacher Higashino." As soon as I heard Higashinoji's voice, Hosokawa Koharu's voice slowed down: "Okay, I understand, then use this number to contact us in the future."

"Yeah." Higashinoji responded, just about to hang up-

"Wait a minute, Teacher Higashino, I happened to tell you something."

Hosokawa Koharu tilted his head and clamped his phone, rummaging on his hands to search for the information that had just been printed on the desktop:

"All reader reply statistics have been received. Teacher Higashino, the first time you are expedited to count your reader praise rate is ranked first, and the second time you are fully counted your reader praise rate is ranked second."

Speaking of this, Hosokawa Koharu couldn't help but comfort Higashinoji:

"Actually, the quality of your comics is enough to be ranked first, but the first-ranked "Between the Dolls" has recently announced that it has become an OVA, and has made two episodes of animation and used big resources to promote it. It is normal for you to be ranked second."

As young people, they always have some arrogance. This time, "Midnight Bell" was on the first page of the volume, but they didn't get the first place... Maybe Higashinoji will be sad? She must comfort Higashinoji.

After all, in the Japanese comic magazine industry, the ranking of the first episode of many comics is already its peak ranking. Going further, the ranking of most comic readers' positive reviews will only get lower and lower. Only some comics with excellent quality can maintain the top ranking.

So she was worried that Higashinoji could not think so.

But what Hosokawa Koharu didn't expect was that Higashinoji on the other side just laughed twice:

"Is that so? This result is already very good."

There is no such thing as hosukawa Koharu imagined, nor any of the operations that he imagined were frustrated.

Higashinoji's attitude was calm from the beginning.

It was so calm that Hosokawa Koharu was stunned.

"In short, Teacher Higashino, don't take this score too seriously. The OVA production of "Between the Dolls" is too strong, and it's normal not to get the first place. Next time, as long as "Midnight Bell" maintains this quality, it's definitely not a problem for first place."

Hosokawa Koharu said confidently while comforting.

That's right!

She has confidence in "Midnight Bell".

As long as Higashinoji maintains the style and level that makes people get goosebumps all over, he will win the first place in the next episode of "Midnight Bell"!

First, that is, something.

The comic author who can get some of the comics at Urajima Publishing House is completely worthy of the title of "teacher" in the industry, and it is the dream of countless horror comic writers.

"I understand, I will bother Hosokawa editor in the future."

"That's good..."

Hosokawa Koharu on the phone could sense that Higashinoji's mood was still stable and did not have the strong spirit she imagined.

This made Hosokawa Koharu sigh a little.

Higashinoji's painting skills are not bad, the comic plot is not bad, the storyboard structure is clear, and most importantly, the author's psychological stability...

"This is too stable."

Hosokawa Koharu hung up the phone and couldn't help but murmur.

It is said that editors want to grow up with the author.

But who knew that the author she met was a complete monster, so stable that it was not good...

This made her feel inexplicably carried by Higashinoji.

The editor was taken away by the author...

If I say this, even my colleagues will laugh at her.

But what's the use of laughing at her?

Hosokawa Koharu leaned helplessly on the office chair, looking quite hopeless, like a big salted egg editor.

But she wouldn't mention it for now, but Higashinoji met something he didn't expect.
