[pseudo] what happened

As the spring break draws to a close, preparations for the Namorimachi Cherry Blossom Festival are also quietly going on.

However, this time Wujiang’s pollen allergy symptoms were much more serious than before, and she hadn’t completely recovered after a whole week, so this directly caused her to spend almost all her time at home until the end of the spring break. passed.

During this period, although she was restless and always felt that something was going to happen, and she even forgot something important, but in the face of the pressure of finishing the official novel, she still chose to ignore these abnormalities Feel.

——During the spring break, she could receive a call from Marukawa Bookstore almost every day.

If she still had the mood to think about those inexplicable things under such circumstances, then maybe she would really spend the last few days of spring break in the "little black room" prepared for her by Marukawa Bookstore.

Five days before the end of the spring break, Wujiang finally finished the official novel written for her mother's comics, which lasted several months. During this period, she revised and revised the content several times, but finally finished it all before the end of the spring break.

Thinking that he would no longer have to sit in front of the computer and type on the keyboard every day, forcing himself to write thousands of words, Wu Jiang felt a little bit disappointed while he was happy.

After all, habits are formed.

It's just that she must not let her mother and those people in Marukawa Bookstore know about this loss, otherwise she might get another job in the future.

One time is enough for such a thing, really!

On the second day after finishing the manuscript, Wujiang, who was finally liberated from the heavy pressure, personally sent the novel to Marukawa Bookstore. After exchanging a few words with the editor-in-chief Takano and Onodera, Wujiang left there with an excuse.

God knows what will happen to her in a place like an editorial office that eats people and doesn't spit out their bones.

—Editors are devils.

She dare not forget the lesson of her mother's blood and tears.

And she's already been cheated once—although her mother was also one of them—staying here and waiting for embarrassing things to happen to her before her life will be in vain.

Who knew that just as he got out of the elevator and was about to leave Marukawa Bookstore, he happened to see the manager of Marukawa Bookstore and his secretary walking in from the door.In addition, there was a man in a suit and leather shoes standing beside the executive, about 30 years old.

Wujiang only felt that this man looked familiar, but he didn't think too much about it.

Now she only thinks about how to sneak out from under the nose of this seemingly careless, but actually weird and unpredictable executive.

——Although she may not remember her as a small person as the other party, it would be better for her to be more cautious.

When Wue minimized her sense of presence and silently turned her side to let the three of them pass, who knew that Marukawa Bookstore's salesperson, Isaka, stopped beside her.

"Isn't this Miss Shinagawa?"

He looked at Wujiang with a surprised look - although Wujiang didn't feel any surprise in his sight.

"Good morning."

Now that he was discovered, Wujiang couldn't pretend he didn't see them.

She immediately folded her hands in front of her, and then bowed slightly to Isaka, her attitude seemed to be respectful and polite, but a little strange-even though she was wearing ordinary casual clothes instead of a formal kimono, her demeanor But it is exactly the same as the ladies in kimonos in people's impression.

"Good day, Mr. Isaka."

"You don't need to be so polite, Miss Shinagawa."

Jingsaka seemed to see that Wujiang was just greeting him formally, but he didn't say much—he didn't care about it anyway.

"By the way, are you here to deliver the manuscript of the official novel?"

It's good that the other party didn't mention this matter. As soon as Wujiang mentioned Wujiang, he remembered how he, his mother and the editors dragged himself into the water in the conference room that day. Although the manuscript was completed now, she The resentment in his stomach has not been eliminated.

"Yes."

Wujiang nodded slightly, still maintaining a gentle and gentle smile on the surface.

"Speaking of... this matter is really thanks to Mr. Isaka."

Although his son inherited his father's business rather than starting from scratch, as the executive of Marukawa Bookstore, Isaka Ryuichiro is not an idiot—otherwise, the performance of Marukawa Bookstore would not be as prosperous as it is now, and Nishi would have been divided and annexed by other colleagues. ——So he immediately heard the resentment in Wujiang's words.

"It seems that Miss Shinagawa is not in a good mood today. It's a pity that I have to go to a meeting soon, otherwise I must have a good chat with Miss Shinagawa."

(Is there a meeting...)

Wujiang glanced at the man who had been standing there silently, and saw that there was a little annoyance in his eyes, and it wasn't aimed at her or Isaka.

——Maybe this person doesn't want to come to the so-called meeting today at all.

she guessed.

It's just a matter of "having a good chat"... Wujiang looked at Ryuichiro Isaka, even though she was full of dissatisfaction, she didn't show it at all on the surface, she still maintained a slight smile on her face, which made people see Can't tell her emotions.

Who knows if the result of that good chat is another official novel or something else.

She wouldn't fall for that.

"Since Mr. Isaka still has a meeting, then I won't bother you."

Not to mention that he doesn't have the time now, even if he did, Wujiang doesn't want to continue talking with this cunning, difficult and unpredictable man.

"If Mr. Isaka has nothing else to do, then Shinagawa will leave first."

While talking, Wujiang bowed to the other party again, then turned around and was about to leave, but she stopped her movements because of Jingsaka's voice before she could take a few steps.

"Hey, you know what."

Jingsaka's voice came from behind Wujiang. There was a bit of weirdness in the magnetic voice, just like the tone of a radio host reading a ghost novel at midnight.

"It is said that Shibata's family has been a little uneasy recently."

Even if Wu Jiang didn't pay much attention to this seemingly simple sentence, the meaning behind it made Wu Jiang pay attention.

Although her mother and she have already left the Shibata family, even when her mother divorced Shibata Keishi, the Shibata family signed a statement of severing ties, and her nominal brother Shibata Soma has nothing to do with her mother since then and she has nothing to do with the Shibata family.

At the beginning, the Shibata family hated the mother and daughter to such an extent, but if they were labeled as interests and placed in front of them...

Who knows what Shibata's family will do.

I have to say that this news from Ryuichiro Isaka is really timely. Although it may just be his unintentional words or with other emotions and purposes, for Wujiang, this is a warning.

It is always better to take precautions than to hold on to the Buddha's feet temporarily.

"……I see."

Wujiang paused for a moment, and the gleam of light in the emerald eyes was fleeting.

"Thank you, Mr. Isaka."

If this is simply an internal problem of Shibata's family, it's fine, and she will not add fuel to the flames after she has broken away from them-Wujiang wishes to stay away from them, and even a little relationship with them will make her I feel sick all over.

But if it involved her and her mother...

Even if she is weak now, she will not let that group of people succeed.

After thanking Jingsaka, Wu Jiang took another step forward.

Seeing the girl walk out of the building and turn around and disappear out of sight, Ryuichiro Isaka turned his head to look at the man beside him who had been silent all this time.

"What do you think of this matter, Akihiko?"

Isaka asked.

"If the Shibata family collapses, then the Usami family will have one less opponent."

The expressionless man glanced at Isaka, and replied indifferently, "That kind of thing has nothing to do with me, Mr. Isaka."

Isaka shrugged, but he didn't continue to entangle with the man on this issue, but walked into the elevator first to go upstairs for a meeting.

On the other hand, Wu Jiang, who left Marukawa Bookstore, was full of thoughts about Shibata's family.

Although Wujiang didn't want to get involved, it was better to have the other party's information in his hands than to wait at home for the other party to plot against them.After all, the Shibata family can develop to the point where it is today, and Wujiang can guess how many secrets there are even if he has never been involved in it.

There is a lot of right and wrong in a big family, especially a family with a long history, where right and wrong and those ulterior things are even more indispensable.

Although Wujiang didn't want to get involved with the mafia again, it had to be mentioned that when faced with the current situation, she suddenly began to miss the intelligence network of the family she belonged to.

At least the information she needs can be obtained in the shortest possible time.

The accuracy of the news and the richness of the content made Wujiang have to wonder whether the intelligence personnel of his family were all paparazzi and gossip.

——No, even those gossip paparazzi can't get such accurate and rich information.

Now that the huge family and the staggering intelligence network behind her are gone, although Wujiang feels nostalgic, she doesn't feel sorry for it. After all, this is the path she chose. Since she chose not to enter that world, then she Then there will be no intersection with that world.

Even if it's just sporadic.

And she doesn't want to have a relationship with that world because of those people she doesn't care about.

After all, whether the former will involve her and her mother is still unknown, and even if it is so noisy, it will only be temporary, and once it enters that world, it will be as deep as the sea, and ordinary people will be passers-by from now on.

As for Hibari Kyouya... Wujiang can only say that this was completely an accident.

But she does not reject this accident, as long as this "accident" does not develop into a "disaster", she is very happy to continue to associate with Skylark.

It can be regarded as making up for the regret when Jiang Wu was still at the beginning.

Thinking of the past, Wujiang couldn't help but let out a sigh, and a gust of spring breeze blew past, making Wujiang's sigh quickly disappear into the air.

And the pieces of cherry blossom petals fell from the branches because of the gust of wind, and the light petals swirled in the air like a rain of cherry blossoms. Fortunately, Wujiang knew that he was still in the period of pollen allergies, so he was prepared in advance to wear a mask The mouth and nose are covered, so it is not affected too much.

(etc……)

Wujiang looked at the cherry blossom rain in front of him and frowned.

(Cherry blossoms... cherry blossom viewing festival... skylark...)

Damn it, she knew why she was restless these days, and she also knew that she had forgotten something.

—— On the day of the Cherry Blossom Festival, Skylark was assassinated by the internationally wanted criminal known as "Trident Shamar" who was on a 2062 boat, and suffered from cherry blossom sickness.

——And that halo syndrome was the main reason why he was defeated by Liudao Mu in the Black Obsidian Incident.

——As for the damn cherry blossom viewing festival that caused Hibari to contract cherry blossom sickness, it was today.

—Damn it.
