章節 559: Book
"Aaa...."
Shiina was right in front of the electric fan since it was a new experience for her. "Ware~ ware~ wa~ uchuujin~ da~." Her voice was slightly strange because of the fan, which made her curious.
Shishio stared at Shiina and asked, "Mashiro, you don't want to turn on the air conditioner?"
"After this~."
They were in the manga studio of his apartment.
In the high heat of the summer, they didn't have any hesitations and made a decision to stay in his apartment.
While it was quite strange, some of the rooms on Sakurasou weren't equipped with the air conditioner.
While some of them had them, it was impossible to turn on all of them during the day since it would cause a short circuit.
Even if it was possible, it was also quite wasteful, and they had to pay more.
Shishio might not think too much since he had money, but if he was at Sakurasou, it would be impossible for him to be with all of his girlfriends, so he stayed in his apartment from time to time.
His girlfriends were the same, especially Saki and Miu.
Well, aside from that, they were also all gathered together since it was a rare summertime, so they decided to clean up their homework first before they decided to go somewhere. They had gone to the beach before, so they wondered where they should visit.
On the other hand, Shishio went to the toilet since the smell of his girlfriends was too intense on his body. He had to go somewhere after this, so he had to prepare.
As for why he had a smell of his girlfriends, it was obvious, right?
"Shishio, where are you going?" Shiina suddenly asked. The summer made her quite lethargic. The fact that she didn't have a good sleep since she slept with Shishio was also part of them, but watching him going out, made her curious.
"I'm going to take a bath."
"Your book is published today, right? Let's go together," Shiina quickly chirped with a great smile as if she was the one who had published the book.
Shishio looked at Shiina and wondered which one they should go to together.
The bath or the book?
Anyway, they decided to take a bath together first since it was eco-friendly.
As for the time they were in the bathroom, it seemed it was longer when they were alone.
Still, while they were in the bathroom, they talked about the book that he had published.
Shishio had planned this book for so long. It wasn't until he returned from the Izu that he had someone to help him publish his book. He had his own publishing house anyway, so the process was relatively easy.
He hadn't given up on his dream of becoming a prime minister, and becoming a writer was his first step to achieving this.
While he had the privilege, the quality of the book was also worthy of being published. He wasn't sure how many books were going to be sold, but he was glad to have Shiina with him since this girl was really precious.
"What's the title? I haven't read it," Shiina asked eagerly.
When he wrote this book, he had only shown the prefix to everyone. They hadn't read to the end, and they also didn't know the title.
"You'll know when we go to the bookstore later, but I'll have to meet my editor first. Is that okay?" Shishio asked.
"Un!" Shiina nodded and asked, "I can go with you, right?"
"Just the two of us?" Shishio asked.
Shiina's smile was ever brighter, and she nodded eagerly, snuggling into him and hugging him tighter.
However, Shishio had a big problem if this continued since he was afraid they might not be able to get out of the bathroom.
---
"Sorry to make you wait, Sumi-san."
"It's okay, Oga-sensei. I have just arrived."
Shishio and Shiina visited the nearby coffee shop where they would visit the bookstore.
Frankly, even if his editor didn't come, it didn't matter. However, his status and the quality of his book made his editor excited and worked harder for him. Anyway, during the creation time, she didn't do much and just received the finished product. She also believed that his book could reach something unbelievable. This was the feeling she got when she read his book for the first time.
Still, it was Shiina's first time seeing Shishio's editor. If she didn't see her big boobs, she would think of her as a man.
However, it was normal for her to think so since his editor had short, choppy, blonde hair. She also wore a manly-like outfit during the occasion.
Still, Shiina knew this wasn't a problem since she often heard that an editor had a flexible time to work. They didn't work from morning to night. Instead, they might only start working at night since every writer has a habit of writing, so the editor has to match their schedule.
"By the way, have you eaten lunch yet?" Sumi asked.
"Not yet."
Shishio and Shiina hadn't eaten lunch since they were almost late because they had taken a bath too long.
"Then, if you're okay, how about we have lunch together? I know a good place to eat," Sumi said eagerly.
"Okay." Shishio didn't refuse and asked, "By the way, what are we going to eat?"
"Ah, do you have some allergies or something?" Sumi asked and forgot to ask this question.
"No, I don't have such a problem."
"Then, if that's the case, how about we have an eel?"
"Eel?" Shiina looked at Sumi before she looked at Shishio and lowered her head slightly.
'Where are you looking?' Shishio was speechless, but he didn't bother and said, "Have you tried an eel Mashiro?"
Shiina thought for a moment and nodded. "I have tasted it, but I don't like it."
Shishio and Sumi were surprised, but he thought for a moment and asked, "Was it eel pudding?"
"Eel pudding?" Sumi was dumbfounded.
"It's a traditional British food," Shishio explained.
"Oh, right! Shiina-sensei is from England, right? You don't need to worry, Shiina-sensei. The eel in this country is different, and it tastes good. It is also good to fight against the heat," Sumi explained kindly.
The identities of the two were obvious.
Shishio was one thing, but Shiina was also famous since she was a world-famous painter, and her manga had been in the 1st position for a few months. The sales were also good, and it had even passed seven million in sales.
Shiina was the illustrator, and Shishio was the author.
Their names were already famous.
If they didn't reject many interview invitations, they would even be famous.
Unfortunately, they rejected it since being too famous was quite troublesome.
Sumi also heard that Shishio made an anime with Misaki, the genius animator, and the result of that anime was also amazing, making him the most famous writer among the young generation.
Still, there was one big problem, and this problem was going to be mentioned later.
"Is it good?" Shiina looked at Shishio curiously.
"It's good. It's a luxurious dish. The price of one dish is similar to several Baumkuchen."
"Really?!" Shiina was shocked.
"......" Sumi wanted to say something, but she decided to endure it. After all, she knew that a creator had one or two quirks, but one thing was for sure, they were far better than one of the writers she had taken care of.
After they agreed to eat the eel, they decided to visit the bookstore. Before they entered, they wore facemasks since they were quite famous. While normally, most people didn't really know them and only looked at them because of their appearance, many people who were familiar with the book knew them well.
After all, their appearance was just too attractive, and the publishing house also didn't let go of this chance, considering a good appearance would also help with sales.
When the three entered the bookstore, they were quite speechless when they saw a group of women holding Shishio's book in their hands with a smile. They lined up together and waited for their chance to pay the book at the cashier.
It seemed that the manager of the store noticed Sumi and quickly approached them.
"Hello Sumi-san, Sorry for being impolite, but can our bookstore ask for more copies of the "Kitchen" from Oga-sensei?"
"Ah, um." Sumi glanced in Shishio's direction.
"You can do your job. We'll be okay on our own," Shishio said calmly.
"Thank you very much!" The publisher had decided to sell 10,000 copies to taste the water first. However, Sumi could tell that this was far from enough, and soon, they would ask for another 50,000 copies of the reprint. Then 100,000 copies, before it reached one million copies.
Her editor's spirit became excited before she talked with the manager.
However, the eyes of the manager were on Shishio, and somehow he had an idea who that young man was. Still, Sumi wouldn't let him get close to Shishio, and they decided to talk about their order first.
"Genius High School Writer?" Shiina looked at Shishio curiously while picking up Shishio's novel.
Kitchen.
This was the title of his book.
However, what made Shiina feel interested was how the publisher did their promotion since they gave Shishio the nickname of a genius high school writer.
Shishio felt a bit embarrassed, but this was what he had decided.
There were two opinions for him: one was to create a mysterious identity as a mysterious writer, and the other was to make a gimmick of the genius writer.
Shishio decided to choose the genius writer without hesitation since his goal was to become a prime minister. The topic that he wrote about in his book also wasn't weird, so he didn't feel afraid to announce his name.
It was also the reason why he wrote the "Kitchen" since he wanted to become famous.
If the topic that he talked about was about a detective or something weird, he might try to hide his identity. Maybe, it didn't matter if he was a little older, but he was a high school student, so there was a certain topic that he shouldn't write about. After all, he didn't want to be labeled as a weirdo.
"You're going to buy it?" Shishio asked.
"Um!" Shiina nodded without hesitation while holding his new book.
Shishio only rubbed Shiina's head and thought this girl was too cute.
After Shiina bought the book, Sumi also finished her matter with the manager of the bookstore. She was quite busy, but she didn't show it on her face since she knew she had to take care of Shishio well.
As they had planned previously, they had decided to eat an eel and went to the unagi (eel) restaurant in the Kamata area. Yet when they arrived, they didn't expect to see someone familiar there.
"Hey, Sumi! Shishio-kun! Shiina-san! Here! Here!"
Shishio and Shiina looked at each other and wondered why Ayano Iida, their manga editor, was there.
