Characters: Hiyama Takaomi & Tsuduki Makoto.

Title: It’s over once you flee

-Hiyama’s Office-

[Click]

Makoto: …… Pardon the intrusion.

Hiyama: Tsuduki? Did you need something today?

If it’s information, then you just came to purchase that only yesterday, is that not so?

Makoto: Yes……

Hiyama: Was there anything insufficient to what I handed you then?

It’s our job to also oversee our clients afterwards. So depending on the content, I may be able to answer your concerns.

Makoto: No, today……

Hiyama: ……?

Makoto: …… That is, please allow me to gather research material.

Hiyama: Gather research material? Of what sort?

Makoto: Like what sort of objects are in your office, or what type of layout it has.

I would like for those things to be reflected in my work.

And in order to accomplish that, it is necessary that I remain in this office for a little while longer.

Hiyama: I have no qualms with that, however……

Makoto: …………

Hiyama: According to prior released information—

I recall that the setting for the next Tsuduki publication does not involve an office.

Makoto: (As expected, he’s quick to learn of things……)

…… It’s material for my next work after the next.

Hiyama: (How suspicious……)

Makoto: ……!

Hiyama: Hm? A phone call?

Makoto: Y-Yes……

Hiyama: It’s urgent, is it not? You’re welcome to answer it.

Makoto: No, it’s not urgent. Don’t mind it.

Hiyama: …………

Makoto: …………

Hiyama: (This reaction of trembling in response to a phone call……)

(I see. So that’s how it is.)

If I’m correct, it should be here……

Makoto: What are you searching for?

Hiyama: Your editor’s business card.

Makoto: ……!?

Hiyama: Your deadline is fast approaching, no? If you choose to voluntarily return home then allow me to ready a car for you.

Makoto: …… Sigh. I understand. I will behave and go home……

“The one who wants to be sighing is your editor.”

While thinking that, he sent off the author that trudgingly left on his way.
