Either way, Nishida put her hand in her suit pocket with a cold expression on her face.

“Come on, here. One per person.”

Saying so, she hands Nishida a bag of money to each of the women.

When the women take the envelope and open it, there are five thousand yen bills in it.

The faces of the women who saw it brightened.

“Oh, thank you. If something like this happens in the future, please call me anytime.”

“Wow. I thought it was just a joke.”

“I can just do it for free.”

“Me too. Just call me anytime.”

“This is my number.”

“……”

Nishida, who had a look on her face that she didn’t like the reaction of those women, immediately called a taxi.

Then he ran out of there.

“Oh, look at how shy you are. It’s cute.”

“Are you going to call me again next time?”

“Mom, it’s late. The manager might find you. Let’s go.”

“Huh.”

The women who watched Nishida disappear immediately scatter from there.

Nishida, who was sitting in the backseat of the taxi, smiled victoriously.

He felt better when he remembered Kido.

In fact, she hadn’t really planned what had just happened.

Of course it’s true that she wakes up early in the morning and gets her hair done at a famous hairdresser, and she puts on her best suit. I also got my makeup done at a specialty store, but the women were spontaneous.

In the morning, after finishing all the preparations, the thought crossed my mind, so I immediately called Otake. Otake, who was supposed to meet at the bookstore, was fortunately at home.

“I’m waiting in front of Kido-sensei’s studio.”

-Yeah? How about the autograph session?

“Today, you have to win unconditionally. So, unconditionally wait there, and when that person comes out, call me, Berudomo (友, Bell’s friend).”

Berudomo is a pager (beep).

It is a new communication device that is gradually gaining popularity these days.

Of course, the pager itself was already in use in the 70’s, but the number appeared recently and the number of users was increasing because of that.

Anyway, at Nishida’s words, a sigh can be heard over the phone.

– What are you betting on with Teacher Keyo?

“I’ll tell you about that later, so as a person in charge, you just need to contact me. Okay?”

– Yes, I understand. I don’t know what it is, but if you can, win.

“Of course.”

Having said that, I took a taxi and set off.

And after a while, a number appears on the pager.

It means starting

He immediately stopped a taxi on the road he expected to pass. And he spontaneously recruited women.

I started this just by chance, but surprisingly, women gathered easily, and fortunately, I was able to meet Kido as well.

After seeing his distorted expression, I think he did well.

Even so, it may be nothing more than a mental victory, but this is a good start.

“Ah, wasn’t Key also your brother?”

“Well?”

Then, Seon-hee, who was walking around the street, opened her mouth.

“Kido oppa, that’s right.”

“Isn’t that right? As expected. Height was also an older brother.”

At that, Sumire asked with a surprised expression.

“Were you really a teacher of height?”

“That’s right.”

“By the way, who was the man you were talking to? Do you know your brother?”

“I don’t know?”

I glanced across the street earlier, but I wasn’t sure that it was Kido, but I can’t even tell that.

“Well, it looks like someone you know.”

“is it?”

While Kyung-hee tilts her head, Seon-hee suddenly finds something and walks at a fast pace.

“Huh? Where are you going?”

But Seon-hee just walks away without answering.

We followed Seon-hee countless times.

In front of the place where Seon-hee stopped after a while is a store selling various kinds of dolls.

And Seon-hee pointed to the items on display in one side of the store with her finger.



“that.”

“……”

“……”

What Seonhee was pointing to was the Hello Kitty doll mask.

Noisy autograph session (5)

“I want to do this.”

Looking at the Hello Kitty that Seon-hee had chosen, I was immersed in thought for a moment.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I just came out with the intention of getting a mask that hides the face, but it’s such a big doll mask.

Looking back at Sumire, he also had a rather absurd face.

Looking at his face, he must have been thinking the same thing as me.

than that. Hello Kitty this… … . Only the head is lying around, and there are no similar objects to be seen anywhere else.

Are you selling this?

“Are you selling anything like that here?”

Kyung-hee also glances around the store and talks.

This is a doll shop, and various dolls are on sale.

Looks like a teddy bear, and a Barbie doll.

Of course, there are a lot of Hello Kitty dolls, but no matter where you look, you can’t see a doll mask that is large enough for a person to put on.

Then, I think I know what this is.

“I don’t think this is for sale.”

“Then what?”

“Probably something the person standing here to promote was using.”

Kyunghee looks at me with an expression that she understands. Seonhee nodded her head to see if she understood what I meant.

However, the expression of regret remains.

“Seonhee, I’m not selling this, so just give up. I’ll find a better mask for this unnie.”

“I’m your sister.”

“Hey, just for today, let me try my sister.”

“……Hate.”

“Sheesh.”

Kyung-hee, who had been grumbling like that, stopped as soon as she saw something. Then, he looks towards the alley next to the store.

“uh?”

I also reflexively look into the alley to see Kyunghee like that.

“…?”

In a dark alleyway, I see someone wearing red clothes.

I couldn’t see clearly because of the light, but at some point my eyes got used to it and I realized that the person sitting there was a young woman.

And that woman is smoking her cigarette.

Well, she didn’t get our attention just because she smokes.

That was the reason for her red dress.

What a woman is wearing is thick clothes, and it looks strange at first glance to wear it in a summer like this.

And in that moment, I knew that it was Hello Kitty’s outfit.

After all, he seems to be the owner of that headband in front of the store.

Anyway, the woman’s expression is not serious.

At first glance, his hair is drenched in sweat, and his expression is full of irritation.

I don’t know, but I can guess.

You’d be crazy and excited to be wearing something like that in this hot weather.

Even before lunchtime, the weather is still so hot.

At least I got it wrong inside, I stepped on shit. may be doing

It’s a serious expression, but seeing that figure and guessing the situation, it feels like a story is being created by itself.

Then the back door opens and a middle-aged man comes out.

Then he shouts something to the woman sitting there with a very angry expression.

If you look at the situation, it’s like, ‘Hey, what are you doing here without work?’ feeling to some extent.

And yet, she only smokes her cigarette while the woman sits down without saying a word. His expression is more annoyed than before.

A man tells such a woman something else.

Then, as if she didn’t want to hear any more, the woman rubbed her cigarette on the floor and extinguished it, and then jumped up from her seat.

She and she looked at the man and she screamed.

“I don’t! I don’t! I’m so dirty!”

Saying so, she goes straight ahead, dressed and walking across the alley we’re looking at. Seeing that, the man shouted something, but he didn’t listen.

‘Take off your clothes and go!’ it must have been

“……”

“……”

Among us who had been silently looking at this scene until then, Kyung Hee was the first to speak.

“That woman, you deserve to be pissed. How do you do this on a hot day? If it were me, I’d fall over in a minute. Aren’t you?”

“Yeah. To be honest, I might die in this kind of weather.”

Sumire agrees with Kyunghee.

Heck, it’s terrifying to even think about using something like that on the roadside. No matter how much I tell you to do it under the shade of a store, that’s unreasonable.

“Seonhee, do you want to write a report on something like that?”

“That’s right. I don’t know if it’s another season, but it’s a little difficult in summer. So let’s do something different.”

When I also helped Kyung-hee, Seon-hee looked like she was lost in thought for a moment.

You wouldn’t even want to imagine yourself wearing it in this weather.

Thinking like that, Seonhee finally opened her mouth.

“Hey, the head. Isn’t it useless now?”

“What?”

“So, there’s no one to use that anymore. The woman took the clothes too.”

“……”

What is he talking about now?

Am I listening correctly now?

***

An autograph session began in the bookstore.

Two tables were set up, and Kido and Nishida took their seats and sat down.

On the back of them are large illustrations and titles of recently serialized works.

Soon, the people who appear to be the operators give a signal, and people who have been waiting since the bookstore opened start pouring in. Then, each holding the works of two cartoonists they bought at the bookstore, line up to get autographs.

The number of people gathered is considerably larger than expected.

At first glance, it is difficult to ascertain the number of people standing in front of the tables of the two cartoonists.

But if there is another thing, it is that there are a lot of women in Nishida side, and that Kido has overwhelmingly male fans.

[From now on, Jotaro Kido of ‘The Man of Sincerity’ and Yuki Nishida of ‘Esper Zone’ will start the autograph session. Please come forward one by one and get your autograph.]

As soon as the host’s words run out, the people in line step forward one by one.

At the same time, Nishida and Kido start signing the books the fans have brought out, and soon afterward, a specially prepared mini-illustration sticker is attached to the signed place.

“Oh my, what’s this sticker? It’s so pretty.”

“Oh, yes. It’s a service.”

Nishida calmly answers the fans’ questions.

Kido looks at Nishida like that.

I like the service.

The original purpose of this sticker is to check who signed more autographs. But that doesn’t mean he can’t deliberately talk about his true purpose, so Kido just licks his tongue once.

Then Otage brings a drink and gives one to Nishida and Kido. Then he approached Nishida and spoke quietly.

“Teacher, don’t overdo it. I’ve also told the person in charge here that if the signing time becomes longer, it may stop.”

“What did Kido-san say?”

“Ah, that’s…, I’ll do that until the end…”

“Then I’ll go all the way.”

“Yes? Are you serious?”

“okay.”

“The deadline for the manuscript is tomorrow. If you overdo it today, it will be difficult to complete it by tomorrow.”

“What are you doing all night long?”

“Teacher.”

“Stop, you’re signing now.”

Nishida, who answered like that, greeted with facial expressions because of the approaching fans.

“Good morning.”

Saying so, she received the book of a female fan who approached and started signing.

Then he glances at her side.

Kido silently signs and turns to Nishida.

She removed her gaze for a moment, and she continued to sign her autograph, pretending to be relaxed with a grin.
