Chapter 8: Natsumi's Manga

"By the way, Kotori, what did you want to ask?"

Shido asked his little sister curiously after a second.

"You crossed over to this world because of her, and it was also because of her that we were able to come as well."

Kotori explained somewhat unhappily.

"How?"

Shido still didn't quite understand.

"So we the Spirits came to this world because of her, not because of the mutual attraction between reiryoku powers. The limitation of reiryoku power should be the result set by her."

"If she wants to, it should be very simple to lift this restriction or bring all the Spirits directly into this world. I just wanted to ask her about it."

"Who knew she would give me a negative answer directly! "

Kotori gritted her teeth, and because of the identity of the other party, she could not fight back at all, this feeling was naturally very annoying.

Indeed, as Kotori said, not only his crossing, but also the crossing of the Spirits were also under the control of this girl. In other words, the Spirits could only come to this world once in more than ten days because of her.

But what was this restriction for?

Wouldn't it really be like what he imagined just now, in order to make him have something to do with the girls in this world?

Shido gave a wry smile. He really didn't understand, since he originally thought that there were some natural causes, but now that he realized it was all manipulatives, he couldn't help but feel unpleasant as well.

It was useless to think too much about this kind of thing. After all, the decision was in her hands, and he also believed what the other party said just now, that there was no ill will towards him. If she wanted to hurt him, she would have many methods available to choose from.

"Kotori, shall we go to the open-air mall?"

Shido suddenly proposed.

"OK..."

Kotori also had no objection.

"Speaking of which, I haven't been there for a while..."

Shido sighed.

"Mochi over there tastes pretty good."

Kotori thought for a while and said.

"Then let's buy more."

Shido said with a light smile.

"What if I can't finish eating?"

Kotori asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Mukuro will eat them all..."

Shido said with a smile.

Suddenly, his phone rang, interrupting his sentence.

He looked down and saw that it was someone he didn't know, but after thinking about it, he picked it up anyway.

"Hello, is this Natsumi Itsuka?"

A male's voice sounded.

Looking for Natsumi?

Shido thought about it and knew that it should be about her manga. Since Nastumi couldn't stay in this world for long, he let her leave her numbers to the Library, in case they needed to contact her.

But the pen name of Natsumi Itsuka ... Shido didn't expect her to use it.

"I'm her big brother. She's inconvenient now, but I will pass the words to her."

Shido said softly. He knew that Natsumi's manga probably got accepted.

"I see... I'm sorry, because this matter is very important, I can only tell her."

The man shook his head professionally, knowing that many mangaka had been opposed by their families when they debuted, so many of them would debut secretly. Generally speaking, it was not convenient for them to tell their families about this kind of thing.

"Okay, then wait. Natsumi, your phone..."

Shido waited for a while before handing over the phone in his hand to Kotori.

Kotori also knew about Natsumi drawing manga, and naturally she was very supportive of things that could ease Shido's pressure.

After she heard the conversation between Shido and the person on the phone, she probably knew what was going on. Shido gave her the phone and wanted her to pretend to be Natsumi for a while. Anyway, the other party had never seen Natsumi. As long as she let her know later, it shouldn't be an issue.

"Hello..."

Kotori pretended to be a little nervous and said.

"Hello, Natsumi Itsuka..."

The man smiled. Since the family knew about Natsumi drawing manga, it would be great. Every time they received manga from younger artists, they would always be very worried, because many of them would stop updating their series in the middle thanks to their families' objections. It would be a huge loss for their industry.

"Natsumi Itsuka?"

Kotori frowned and looked at Shido next to her. She seemed a little unhappy. After all, such a name sounded like Kotori's little sister. As Shido's only little sister, she absolutely needed to defend her identity!

(Mana: ?)

"What's wrong?"

The man asked incredulously.

"Nothing, this is my pseudonym, so I didn't react for a while."

Kotori said with a smile.

"I see..."

The man nodded, but couldn't help but be suspicious.

"My real name is...Natsumi Kyouno. You can just call me Natsumi."

Kotori said with a smirk.

"Got it, Natsumi-chan. So, about your manga..."

The man asked some questions about the manga. One was to make sure that the person who was on the phone was the one who drew the manga, and the other was to let the other party know her inadequacies.

"Yes, well, yes, no problem."

Kotori responded casually. She knew the content of the manga, so she did not reveal any flaws.

"Okay, then let me introduce myself. I'm Editor Yamada. Congratulations, your first draft of the manga has passed our review, and the drawing skills are very beautiful. Although there are some flaws in the storyboard, it can be seen that you have a role as a mangaka's assistant. The experience and the story are also very dramatic, and it is very good as a debut work."

Editor Yamada praised Kotori.

"Thank you..."

Kotori nodded.

"When is it convenient to come to the Library and talk about the content of the manga and the division?"

He asked softly.

"What time is convenient? I think..."

Kotori looked at Shido, and when she saw him hold out two fingers, she immediately smiled clearly:

"The day after tomorrow! I will come with my brother at noon."

"Ok, I see."

Editor Yamada said in a deep voice. He had no objection to Kotori saying that she would come with his brother. After all, according to the information, Natsumi was still young, and it was a matter of course for her brother to accompany her as a guardian.

After hanging up the phone, Kotori and Shido looked at each other and smiled, not only happy for the success of Natsumi, but also excited for the seamless cooperation just now.

"Shido-san, Kotori-san! You two are as close as ever!"

"Pa… I mean, how are you?"

Shido and Kotori turned their heads, and saw a high school girl with pink hair holding the hands of a little girl with plum hair, walking toward them with warm smiles.

PS: I got midterms coming up, sorry that my updates will slow down for a while.
