The man rescued from Kabukicho

In late April, cranberries were freshly available. The French chef and owner of the dessert shop, after repeated attempts, designed three new desserts with the theme of cranberries, and asked the store staff to try them.

There is a crème fraiche, which is strawberry jam topped with mixed dried cranberries; a mousse that is generous with cranberry jam and fresh cranberries; and a cranberry crepe.

Not to mention the sweet and sour taste, each dessert is beautiful enough to be featured in pastry magazines, and the young employees took out their mobile phones to take pictures non-stop. With the permission of the boss, they published it with the name label of the small fire. Going to social platforms can be regarded as pre-publicity in disguise.

Takao-kun, who introduced Jiro to work here, is a college student of Meida University, majoring in fashion design. He wears fashionable everyday clothes and likes to post selfies. In addition to the enthusiasm and boldness of the school itself, his social account is in It is very popular among the students in the same school, and it belongs to the category of popular amateur and handsome bloggers, so the boss specially asked him to retouch the pictures before publishing.

Takao-kun complained loudly while posting: "Recently, there are no longer long queues in the store. After sending these photos, it will become a holy place for ins check-in again."

The boss slapped him on the head, and said in much more fluent Japanese: "Who would say such a thing in front of the boss, read the air too, you big-hearted KY."

Being scolded by the French in Japanese for not reading the air, this incident seems to poke Takao-kun's jokes. He laughed until he whimpered and said his stomach hurts, so everyone can only look at him embarrassingly.

Because Takao-kun is a big-hearted but kind and lovable guy, no one is really angry with him in the end.

It's just that some female employees know that Jirou and Takao-kun have a good relationship, so they say to Jirou half-coquettishly: "Nakamura-san, you have to take good care of this guy Takao!"

Jiro, who used the pseudonym [Nakamura Kazuya] in the dessert shop, was very helpless when he heard that the lower half of his face was covered by a mask, but he could see the slightly curved eyebrows, smiled and said: "I can take He can't help it."

Takao's heart is not ordinary.

Just knowing Cilang's identity, ignoring those reports, interacting with him without any suspicion, keeping his identity a secret, and introducing him to work, is enough to make Cilang both grateful and worried.

Getting along now, Cirou also understands a little bit, Takao-kun is either completely defenseless, or he does things purely based on his feelings. If he thinks Cirou is a good person, he will help, and if he thinks the atmosphere in the store is good, he will be straightforward... To some extent, it can be said that he is quite his own way. In other words, it is self-centered, not so concerned about the outside world and the eyes of others.

Generally speaking, in China's social environment that emphasizes obedience to the collective, Takao-kun's self-centered personality is easy to be criticized, but perhaps because Takao-kun is still very straightforward and enthusiastic, not the type who doesn't consider others, so even if a I had a bad impression at first, but after getting along for a long time, I can understand that this guy is a good person.

——Although this is an impression that takes a while to get along with.

To be honest, Cilang envied this kind of courage to "speak straight".

Hearing the words, Takao-kun rushed over, lay on Cirou's back, made a face at the girl who was talking, and joked, "Hey, don't provoke the unbreakable male friendship between me and Nakamura-san!"

The girl deliberately rolled her eyes, and joked, "What kind of friendship between men is it because you are unilaterally and unbreakably attached to Nakamura-san!"

"Not at all!"

"That's it!"

Ci Lang listened to this back and forth conversation, smiled and said nothing, not mixing with the excitement of young men and women.

He is an elderly man with a family, and he is very conscious.

The people in the store also know how affectionate Cilang is with the "big lady's fiancée". Today, the boss specially reserved a package of all three desserts for Cilang, who is serious about his work, because Cilang mentioned before that he would buy a copy for her when the new product comes out. .

Speaking of desserts, Cilang was also amazed by the appearance of these three desserts. He took a photo, but it was stored in his mobile phone and was not posted online.

With his appearance, even if he wears a mask every day, he will inevitably be approached by people. Whether it is in a private school, a dessert shop, or on the commute, there are always men and women approaching him, wanting his social media contact information.

In this regard, Ci Lang always excused that he didn't like social media and didn't register any account, so he politely refused.

His online and real identities have so far been well segregated.

In fact, he didn’t do this consciously at the beginning. When he first registered his ins account, because he could only name it with English letters and numbers, he thought of the word moonlight related to his surname, and then thought of the name of Ijuin and Kazuomi. I don’t know. Why is it associated with the picture of moonlight shining on the paper (kami), so it was named "MoonlightKami", and the gender was selected as female.

Later, Mr. Hanada Kiyoshi paid attention to it, and gained many fans. Some people began to discuss the name. Only then did Jiro realize that because kami is also the pronunciation of "God", the first impression of this homepage name is that of a young man who has not recovered from the second illness. female……

At that time, Cirou also sent a special ins to explain, but the fans started to call "her" by kami instead, which made Cirou dumbfounded.

Not long after, he completed the work invited by Mr. Hanada Kiyoshi, and drew the stories needed for the new booklet of Mr. Hanada Kiyoshi’s new picture book. Publishing and editorial department of new picture books.

Even if it is just a booklet, it involves contractual issues of remuneration and authorization, and negotiating a contract is a necessary process.

Because he was just an unknown newcomer, the editor sent by the publishing editorial department was not the editor of Mr. Hanada Qing, but a newcomer editor.

This new editor surnamed Takeuchi, after reading the manuscript, is very optimistic about Jirou's future growth. She did her homework and wanted to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Jirou. As a result, she always thought that Jirou was a female Takeuchi editor, and she was scared when she first met. What a big jump.

Not only because Jirou is a man, but also the famous "Mochizuki Jirou" who was deceived by the witch, but also because Yijuin insisted that Jiro bring Assistant Takeya and Assistant Fujiwara with him. responsible for checking the terms of the contract.

Not to mention editor Takeuchi, even Jiro himself felt at a loss for this overly luxurious lineup.

However, it is obvious that it is the right choice to bring two assistants, because in the face of the coercion of the two gold medal assistants of the Ijuin Consortium, Editor Takeuchi was not stage-frightened. In business and business, he asked Jiro calmly if he would use his real name Create picture books.

She calmly analyzed that doing so can achieve the best marketing and promotion effect. As long as it is "the picture book created by Mochizuki Jiro after he was released from prison", many people, even if they have never touched picture books, will read it out of curiosity, so As soon as he came, he naturally had a wider audience than other picture book writers, and he might become an instant hit.

But the negative impact of doing so also exists, that is, no matter how hard Jiro paints, some people will look at his works with colored glasses and contact Cilang's past history.

Cirou, of course, refused.

It was only at this time that he realized later that since he registered on the ins homepage, in his subconscious mind, he hoped to put aside his identity and just want his works to be loved by everyone.

And he himself, never wants to be paid attention to by society again, no matter whether it is good or bad.

If possible, he never wants to see his real name in any media.

After Jirou expressed his intention clearly, editor Takeuchi immediately accepted his own wishes, and made her suggestion accordingly. She thought that Jiro should adopt a pseudonym and synchronize the name of the ins homepage with the pseudonym to make it more formal.If you don't want to be noticed by the media, you can use a gender-neutral name that can be used by both genders to further confuse the gender.

This suggestion was exactly what Jiro wanted.

In the end, the creator of the accompanying booklet of Mr. Hanada Kiyoshi’s new picture book, the new generation of picture book artist-Haru Ijiin, was born with the accompanying booklet, not only gaining popularity among readers, but also affirmed by many people in the industry .

And Ijuin Haru's ins homepage was renamed "IjuuinHaru" in sync with the pseudonym, and quickly rose to No. 16 with the most fans of picture book artists in the country.

The drawing in the attached booklet is a new setting of the cat & dog series. It depicts an abandoned golden retriever who wanders the streets. In the bustling city of Tokyo, he meets a wild black cat who is the leader of the neighborhood. A cat and a dog meet and get to know each other in a funny and warm story.

On a well-known reading website, Mr. Hua Tianqing's new picture book, because it touches people's hearts, naturally received high marks, but many comments also added praise to the story that comes with the booklet.

Among them, the reader comments that received many likes include: "It is a very lonely little story that can't help but make people feel tender", "It is created in the image of cats and dogs, but at its core, the painter is The collision of extreme loneliness is depicted as a warm night in Tokyo".

Limited by the space of the attached booklet, the story came to an abrupt end and did not continue. Many readers looked forward to seeing the follow-up, not only leaving messages to Cilang on the Internet, but also many readers sent letters to the publisher requesting a separate book.

Therefore, the publishing house quickly made a decision to invite Jiro for manuscripts, to expand and complete the story in the accompanying booklet, and to publish a picture book alone. Editor Takeuchi seized the opportunity and became Jiro's editor in charge.

Since then, Jiro has lived a life of dual identities. On the Internet, "she" is the new generation of picture book artist [Haru Ijiin], and at other times, he is Mochizuki Jirou.

He hoped that this situation could continue like this, everything was too good for him now, and he didn't want any changes.

"Ah, ah, my stomach hurts," said Takao-kun, who was kicked out of the back kitchen by the chef, lying lazily on the counter.

While giving change to customers, Cilang smiled and said, "Who made you laugh so exaggeratedly?"

"I'm hurt," Takao-kun said, clutching his stomach, "Brother, my heart is hurt."

Already used to being called big brother by Takao-kun, Cirou still couldn't help complaining: "Is your heart in your stomach?"

Takao-kun laughed fufufu.

There are two dine-in customers, a man and a woman, watching TV programs with the video on their mobile phones, the volume is very loud, and they are very impatient when reminded by the clerk, because the male customer with flowery arm sunglasses looks like a very difficult customer. The boss doesn't want to cause trouble, but there are not many customers right now, so everyone can only wait patiently for them to finish eating and leave.

At this moment, the narration background sound coming from their mobile phones proves that this is the most topical TV program at the moment, and I don’t know which genius planned the idea. Its main guest is: Makoto Kishio, who failed to run for the governor of Tokyo, And Kasuga Mirei, who was previously known as Makoto Kishio's dog-headed military advisor.

This is the two people who have been stripped of their backgrounds by the media, their reputations have been discredited, and they have turned against each other. Under the fanning of the host, in front of the audience, they live broadcast the program of exposing each other's backgrounds.

Although Cilang didn't watch the show, he knew very well that it was written by Yijiyuan.

Under Jirou's request, Ijuin will not hide from him the matter concerning Kishio Makoto and that woman.

Cilang also thought about it, would he be too cunning if he didn't take the initiative to deal with this matter, but handed everything over to Yijiyuan?Although to be honest, he just wanted to forget about the past, and if he really wanted to deal with it, he didn't know where to start with a politician and a liar.

But Ijuin said, "I had a great time."

So Cilang's worry was completely shifted to another direction. Now he was only worried about whether Yijuin had played too much. As long as he didn't go too far, everything else would be fine.

He felt like a breeder who indulged the cat and justified it ("This time it was the mouse") knowing that if the cat was let out, the cat would kill small animals in the garden.

Takao-kun also heard the narration on TV, and suddenly sighed to Cirou: "Speaking of which, I still think you are very powerful, you are a real man."

"What?" Cilang didn't know why, "Are you sick?"

Takao-kun lowered his voice: "That's it, that woman. When they were working in the convenience store, their gang was mainly that bad guy Yamada. They deliberately put the promotional poster that the woman made for that man on The door of the store. They are all gangsters born and raised in that block. I just went there, and I didn’t dare to offend them, and I was worried that you would be angry. But you, brother, it’s like you didn’t see it! They posted it for several days, and finally It was even posted on the cash register, and you still get cash and change as usual, is there any super-manly ones! From then on, I felt that you are much more powerful than those gangsters who want to punch their fists at every turn!"

Cirou was dumbfounded.

He looked back at Takao-kun, and said honestly: "Well, I don't remember this at all..."

"what?!!!"
