"I'm sorry for your trouble, Machida-senpai."
"No, it's a matter of course to help juniors!
But don't get in trouble!
” Gu Wu, who had taken a document from Machida Yuanzi, nodded repeatedly, and then set off to say goodbye to this senior.
Kasumigaoka is going to school today, and as an examineee, if she focuses on her creation and other trivial matters, I'm afraid she won't be able to study.
Therefore, Gu Wu did not discuss today's plan with Xia Zhiqiu, but planned to complete this job alone.
"It turned out to be the deputy editor-in-chief of [Jiande Publishing House]......"
In this world, the Jiande Publishing House is generally responsible for the publication of some pure literary works, which has a high reputation in the industry, and the style of the published works is also highly recognizable, and it also has many bookstores and means for publicity.
With the continuous growth of online novels and the excellent works selected by various library newcomer awards, Jiande Books has also begun to accept the publication of various works, and the current emphasis is on light novels.
Gu Wu is now holding the information of the deputy editor-in-chief of the Jiande Book Society, that is, the person who had a conflict with Xia Zhiqiu that day.
The deputy editor-in-chief is named Koga Daichi, and in addition to his name, his contact number and address are also written on it, which should not be something that Gu Wu can get.
Fortunately, Machida Yuanzi knew what the advisor was going to do, and also supported him in doing so, so he opened a back door for Gu Wu.
Taking a somewhat expensive taxi to a residential area, Gu Wu slowly searched for the address given on the message, and finally found a name plate with the word "Koga" written on it at the end of a prop planted with cherry blossom trees.
In the morning, I helped sort out the newcomers' submissions at the Immortal River Bookstore, and at noon I went to various places to investigate the materials and ask Machida Yuanzi, and in the afternoon, I ran to this kind of place, and it was impossible to say that I was not tired.
"I've finally found it......"
What Gu Wu has to do now is to apologize to the door, after all, it is impossible to continue the contradiction between Kasumigaoka and the deputy editor-in-chief, otherwise Kasumigaoka's "Love Metronome" will be postponed forever.
So the question is, what if the other party doesn't accept the apology?
Don't look at Gu Wu always likes to be lazy and troublesome, but when it comes to what needs to be done, he will still do it well.
Living alone and working part-time, he knows all kinds of difficulties and oppression, so Gu Wu, who has personal experience, is very good at dealing with this kind of matter, if he can't solve it by apologizing......
People have weaknesses, problems at work, family conflicts, etc., and Gu Wu thinks that he can easily find these.
To be honest, Gu Wu didn't plan to use that kind of way to directly attack the weakness to deal with the opponent, it was too unchallenging.
"Whew!"
Gu Wu, who was taking a deep breath, pressed the doorbell, and after a while, he heard footsteps, and the person who opened the door to the entrance was a woman about forty or fifty years old, with a gray knitted sweater, and a shovel as long as an arm in her right hand, which was still stained with mud.
"Huh?
Who are you?
I'm not going to accept a pitch. ” "No, it's not, I'm Gu Wu, the editor of Fantastic Library, and I came to Mr.
Koga to discuss something at work."
"Well, come in, he's just returned.
Kid Dad!
Kid Dad!
Earth!
There are guests!
” It seems that this woman is Koga's wife.
"Guests?
I haven't made an appointment, and I actually came to ......."
The voices of doubt came from the living room, and most of the owners of the voices were the objects that Gu Wu wanted to see this time.
After bringing Gu Wu to the living room, the woman who brought Gu Wu to the living room turned around and walked towards the backyard, not interested in the issues that the two of them were going to discuss.
"You ......"
"I'm Gu Wu, the editor of Fantastic Library, and I met last time at the Newcomer Author Banquet held at Fantastic Library."
"I see, it's the girl's ......!
Go ahead, I don't want to see you. ” "I'm here to apologize."
Gu Wu also put the desserts he bought on the way on the table.
"Apologize?
What about the parties?
Do you think a few words from you, as the editor-in-charge, are enough?

Last time I was humiliated by her. ” "That's all nonsense, it's our mishandling, please don't worry about it, Mr.
Koga."
Gu Wu, who lowered his head, apologized on behalf of Kasumigaoka, but the result was not ideal.
"Hmph, I'm not a person who likes to give a little girl a treat, the problem is that even then I can't easily forgive her, it's a matter of principle."
Principles?
Gu Wu, who raised his head, fell into thought, thinking that the guy in front of him was just caring about his face.
Guys who care about face will have more weaknesses.
Gu Wu, who pretended to be very troubled, looked at the room and could see that every place was very clean, there were several trophies and certificates on the table next to the TV, and there were three family photos on it; Koga has a son who is good at baseball, and so is he himself, after all, there is a lot of baseball news in the newspapers he reads so far.
Judging from his actions, he should rarely clean the room, and basically his wife is responsible for it.
In addition, Koga wears a watch on his right hand and a teacup on his left, so he is likely to be left-handed.
Gu Wu, who was collecting as much information as possible, was thinking about how to make the man in front of him fear him in the future, but he heard unexpected words.
"And if you apologize on her behalf, do you think that this act is sincere enough?"
"Of course not."
"yes, it's not enough to bow your head."
What does that mean?
Dirt seat?
Do you kneel on the ground, bend down, put your hands on the ground, and bow your head in apology?
Gu Wu heard that this was the deepest way to apologize in Japan.
If the apologizing party apologizes in the form of a sitting, they will generally be forgiven, but at the same time, the apologizing party will also be ashamed of it.
With a sigh, Gu Wu stood up from his position.
No way.
Just as Gu Wu was about to take action, the doorbell rang, and the woman who opened the door for Gu Wu just now ran towards the entrance again.
The sound of footsteps sounded, and Gu Wu, who had made a move, turned to look in order to confirm who it was, and a long black hair suddenly swayed and appeared in his field of vision.
"You're mine!"
So the girl declared.
"As my editor-in-charge, don't do such a stupid thing!"
The girl named Kasumigaoka Shiyu took Gu Wu's hand arrogantly, glared at Koga, and walked away quickly, apologizing to the woman very politely on the way.
Gu Wu, who was pulled outside, was a little surprised, and he didn't expect that Xia Zhiqiu would appear here.
"Mr.
Gu Wu!
What are you doing here?
” "Of course it's an apology, but it's not okay to postpone the publication of your work."
"Isn't it just a few months?
I don't care. ” Xia Zhiqiu stared at Gu Wu with serious eyes.
"So I don't want you to apologize, you were going to sit down just now, right?"
Kindness?
Dirt seat?
I did mention it earlier.
Hearing Xia Zhiqiu's guess, Gu Wu laughed.
"Teacher Xia Shizi, I am indeed a troublesome person, and I don't do anything about the problem that can be solved by apologizing, the problem is ......
As you said, I'm the editor in charge, if the author is not to be outdone, I can't show weakness. ” "Then I guessed wrong?"
"yes."
Gu Wu stretched out his hand to express helplessness.
"It's good that you came just in time, teacher, otherwise that Mr.
Koga would have cried."

Gu Wu temporarily thought of a means to threaten the other party, intending to use this to make that stubborn guy change his mind.
However, since the contradiction has deepened again, it is quite boring to use threats.
"Teacher Xia Shizi, did you know that there was a short story newcomer award recently?"
"Fantastic Bunko's competitor, the one held by Gagaga Bunko?"
"Let's participate."
"What do you say, I don't have that time."
"I have the original case, this is tailor-made for Teacher Xia Shizi!"
If you win the gold award, there is no doubt that your attention and popularity will increase!
