06 December 2017

Characters: Tsuduki Brothers.

Title: Even though I properly finished it

-Makoto’s House: Living Room-

Makoto: (Phew…… How long has it been since I’ve completed everything the day before the deadline?)

(To think that I was able to hand in my manuscript and take it this easy.)

(The editor was also weeping with happiness…)

Kyosuke: Oh, it’s you, Brother. What are you doing in the living room?

Makoto: You see, the truth is—

Kyosuke: Jeez…… You’re escaping from reality again, aren’t you?

Makoto: No, I’ve already finished up with the manuscript.

Kyosuke: You said the same thing last month as well. Then right afterwards, you got a lot of calls from your editor.

Makoto: Indeed, I wasn’t able to finish my work accordingly last month, but it’s true this time.

I’ve already completely handed in my manuscript to the editor.

Kyosuke: That sounds like something I’ve heard you say the month before last on that day you were going on a trip.

In the end, you still hadn’t handed it in so didn’t your editor come chasing after you all the way to where you were staying?

Makoto: ……

(Something like that did happen……)

Kyosuke: Even though you promised me that you would make sure to meet your deadlines this time.

Makoto: Yes, and that’s why I’m already done with handing it in……

Kyosuke: ……

Makoto: (He’s looking at me with doubtful eyes…)

(So I’ve made Kyosuke suspicious to this extent, huh…)

Later on, he was finally able to get his little brother to believe him after showing him the evidence……

Thus, the author turned over a (slightly) new leaf as he thought of refraining from giving excuses for his deadlines from now on.
