After saying that, Kyung-hee greets Kosaku with a broad smile.

“Good morning.”

“·················ogue.”

For a moment, Kosaku is dazed with surprised eyes, then turns to Seon-hee, who was working again. Then he looks at Kyunghee again.

“Seonhee and I are twins.”

“Oh, twins.”

Even the hair style is exactly the same, so it’s hard to tell them apart.

Then, he takes care of his facial expressions and says hello.

“Good morning. My name is Mine Kosaku from Eiensha.”

“Yeah. I am Kyunghee Lee.”

He smiled like that and asked Kosaku.

“Brother, would you like some coffee?”

“uh. okay.”

“How would you like some coffee? three three?”

“Yeah?”

At Kyunghee’s question, Kosaku asked with a puzzled expression.

“How many tablespoons each? Coffee, cream, sugar.”

Kosaku, who knew only then, muttered “Ah” and answered immediately.

“Only three tablespoons of coffee, please.”

“Yeah? Do you want coffee?”

“Yeah.”

“uh? Then it would be very useful.”

“It’s okay. I drink black.”

“······Ah yes.”

Kyunghee goes to the kitchen, scratching her head.

In fact, even if there were cases where a little cream or sugar was added, it would be the first time not to add it at all, so I can understand such a reaction.

Is that kind of a culture shock?

I am smiling while looking at it, but the expression on Kosaku’s face looking at me like that is strange.

Why are you looking at me like that?

“What’s wrong?”

Kosaku flinched at my question and then smiled awkwardly.

“Because it’s surprising.”

“What?”

“I was curious about who the people who make the works of Samsara are. When I first met him, he was so ordinary…”

“Ah.”

“Sunny-sensei is a high school student, and Tengen-sensei who wrote the story is still very young, and the twins are special, but what I was talking about is ordinary because it is quite different from what I expected with Samsara.

“Haha, that’s right.”

After sharing her blessings for a while, she had a serious conversation with him.

“There was a cartoon called Pasiencia for a flat-footed striker, so it was understandable. However, in the case of the god of management, it was a bit surprising. It was a lot of fun, and it felt familiar to me as a Japanese person.”

“Oh, is it?”

“Yeah.”

Hagi-ya, it was originally made with reference to ‘Cool Man Tae-Rang Kim’, so maybe it’s more suitable for Japanese people. However, since Tae-Rang Kim will start serialization in about 8 years from now, God of Management may be a fairly new story.

Does this mean that Tae-Rang Kim does not appear?

Even if it comes out, I don’t know if the content will be different.

ah i don’t know

Because I decided to quit living while thinking about all those variables.

Kosaku’s story continued while I was immersed in these useless thoughts.

“Since you are the writer of Samsara, it may be natural, but there are also quite a lot of interesting points. The dialogue was also very impressive.”

After praising the work for a while, he asked me when the conversation was about to ripen.

“But why did you want to meet me……?”

“Mr. Mine. No, I was on the phone with her sister.”

“Ah······.”

He looks at me with slightly enlarged eyes.

“Did you know?”

It seems that the brothers and sisters did not communicate with each other.

It seems that it is because cell phones are not as common as these days.

“You don’t have a face.”

“no. Actually, I was curious about what kind of publishing house Eiensha was, so I called and only then found out that it was a family.”

“······i See.”

I am quite perplexed.

“Then what about this contract?”

“Well, if there are no problems, I want to sign a contract with Aensha. Of course, the final decision rests with the former teacher.”

Then his expression brightens again.

It’s more of a loud feeling than just a feeling of brightening.



But what I want to say is not over.

“By the way, can I give you my opinion?”

“Yes, tell me.”

“I want the novel to be developed in a first-person spoken language. I’d like to add an illustration there…”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“First Person Colloquialism, Illustration . . .”

“Yeah. We also work on the maps ourselves.”

It was the opinion that it would be good to make it into a light novel.

Of course, the term light novel was not yet available. After all, the definition of the term light novel is still unclear in the future.

But when Kosaku heard what I said, he was startled.

Then he immediately spoke out loud to me.

“If you do that, we would be more than grateful. Still, personally, I was a little worried. It’s an interesting novel, and even if the names of the two were known, I was worried about how successful they would be if they moved on to a general novel. However, I think it would be fine if it was that way. There are cases where the anime was made into a novel, so I think it would be fine. Besides, if it’s first person, it’s immersive, so I think it’ll be fine.”

He also understands my intentions well.

In fact, the strength of light novels is that the illustrations, i.e. illustrations, are written in a light style.

Especially in the case of illustration, it is very important because it has a huge impact on sales.

Of course, this is not to say that similar novels did not exist at this time.

There was also a girl’s novel by Saeko Himuro, and the science fiction novel by Motoko Arai is a similar case.

“The style should be as easy and light as possible, so the more popular it is, the better.”

Ko Saku nodded his head in surprise at my words.

“Yeah. I think like a teacher.”

“First, we will work on the god of management, then we will see the results and move on to the next project. Of course, after my teacher signs it.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

And after talking about the novel for a while, as soon as he passed away, he called Jeon Sang-gil.

After he explained his situation to Jeon Sang-gil, he asked:

– So, can I just sign it?

“Yeah.”

– by the way. I’m sorry if you add illustrations to the cover as well. So let’s adjust that part a bit. Even if I have no conscience, I can’t eat so freely

“no. That part is a contract anyway.”

– Oh, but that’s not it. I’ll try to adjust that part later in the direction of making more concessions.

This yangban is also not common.

Seeing that he is never bound by immediate interests, he seems to have great success in the future.

“Okay. Let’s talk about that separately.”

– okay.

And the next day, I got a call that I had signed a contract with the God of Management first.

*

a few days later.

Seon-hee was busy making the new color cover for management.

During his recent break from Parsiencia, he bought various Japanese booklets to study color. Based on that, I got stuck on how to use paints and maca.

I’m still a little clumsy, but I have a lot of greed to do a cover for myself in the future, so I’m studying various colors, but right now I’m getting better at using markers.

The depth is a little off, but because of the clean feeling, this is not too bad.

However, he is constantly drawing new colors to see if he doesn’t like the colors.

“This is fine, why?”

“I can draw better.”

“You’ve already drawn more than 10 pages.”

“I want to draw a little more. Are you fine?”

“If you want to draw, you have to draw. Still, do it in moderation. There is no end to greed.”

“Okay.”

Seon-hee couldn’t draw until the night, so she went out to the studio early the next morning.

Seeing that, her mother clicked her tongue.

“I think he fell right again.”

“Who is stopping you?”

Kyung-hee also agrees with her mother.

Spending early in the morning alone So I eat breakfast early and leave the house early to the studio, but the neighborhood is noisy.

Local elders are gathering on the flat in front of the supermarket and talking about something.

It’s usually like that, but today it feels different.

What’s going on?

With that in mind, I went into the studio and saw the silver shoes already.

“Are you here early? uh?”

But it’s not in the bathroom.

There is no seonhee

Where have you two gone?

But then I hear the TV in the next room.

Oh, it looks like there.

What are you looking so hard at in the morning?

When I open the door, I see Silver watching TV frantically. However, there is also Seon-hee by Silver’s side.

“Good morning. You came early today.”

“·················ogue.”

However, Silver does not respond to my greetings.

Seon-hee also seems to be busy watching TV.

At first glance, it sounds like news.

I asked as I approached Silver and sat down.

“What are you looking at like that?”

“This morning, the space shuttle launched by NASA exploded.”

“What?”

What’s going on with this in the morning?

unexpected remake (4)

I watched the news the two of them were watching, Silver and Seon-hee, with a bewildered look.

In the news, the announcer talks for a while, then calls the US correspondent and the screen is switched.

And the next screen.

A zoomed-in video of the space shuttle ascending the sky at a tremendous speed is shown, and then flames spread and explode into the air. And you can see the scene where it splits into two pillars of fire and creates a long cloud of smoke in the sky.

[The US Space Shuttle Challenger with 7 crew members on board exploded in the air at 16km in 75 seconds after leaving the launch pad at 11:38 a.m. on the 28th (1:38 a.m. Korean time on the 29th). All crew members including Mrs. The cause of the explosion is still unknown.

The news repeats the same story over and over, and it is said that President Reagan of the United States once said, “There are risks involved in pioneering.”

I also remember hearing about the accident of the space shuttle launched by the United States in the past, but the feeling is different because it is transmitted in real time.

Especially, when the latest information is mostly limited to broadcasting media or newspapers like now.

It was only then that I understood the way the locals had gathered when I left the house earlier.

Come to think of it, there seems to have been some talk about an explosion or something.

Anyway, because of this, Seonhee and Silver were only absorbed in the news for a while.

Even Seon-hee, who was not usually interested in news, is so engrossed in the news, it is understandable how big of a shock this is.

But suddenly, memories of the 911 terrorist attacks when I was a kid come to mind.

At that time, my mother and father were watching the news at night with shocked expressions.

And after some time passed, the fishermen went to work one by one.

Naturally, when they went to work, the whole place was buzzing with the explosion of the Challenger.

“I was expecting that as the first Asian-born astronaut and the first general public astronaut to be a female teacher. I am so sorry.”

“It broke my heart to see my family who was watching it cry. After all, space is still a difficult area for Earthlings.”

“Iknow, right.”

“When I saw the spaceship explode this time, I was so scared. I also wanted to go to space someday. After seeing that, I’m afraid I can’t do it.”

In the morning, the atmosphere in the studio seems to have subsided.

If something like this happens, it’s only natural.

When I called Jiro in the afternoon, I heard that this atmosphere is the same in Japan.

– The editorial department is also in a state of shock because of this incident. The Japanese news is all about the space shuttle explosion. In particular, Ellison Onitsuka was very interested in Japanese Americans.

I heard it on the news too.

What kind of engineer are you talking about at NASA?

However, this is not something we will be talking about for a long time on international calls.

So, I immediately put aside the conversation and changed the topic to a story.

When I tell Jiro the story of a novel that has been going on for the past few days, he is curious.

– It seems pretty cool to make a new novel from a comic book that came out in Korea. In addition, if Sunny puts illustrations on the cover, the results look good.

“But it is difficult to confirm the outcome until the book is released. It’s probably not a comic book.”
