"Endo Kun, no noise!"
A man in his 40s sternly shouted at the young man named Endo. The people working around him also looked over.
"Sorry, Teacher Kojima! Sorry, everyone, I've disturbed everyone's work.”
The young man put away his surprised expression and bowed repeatedly to apologize to the people around him. Seeing his formal apology, the others also smiled and focused on their work again.
Shueisha didn't only have Shōnen JUMP, but the other magazines weren't as well-known compared to the highest-selling manga magazine in Japan. One of the departments 'jobs was to interview manga artists to increase the topic of discussion.
Endo was a newcomer who had just finished his internship and was working at Shueisha. The man, who was nearly 40 years old, was his old employee, who was also his teacher. In this country where seniority was extremely important, it was necessary to treat teachers with respect.
As a newcomer, Endo was already prepared to do some miscellaneous work, such as organizing documents and other low-level work. However, he never thought that he would be called by Teacher Kojima to be his assistant and get the chance to interview manga artists!
The people of this country always had the mentality of worshiping the strong. As an employee of Shueisha, coupled with his young age, Endo was also a manga fan. He admired the 16-year-old Shrine Sensei for being able to submit his first manuscript and pass the conference at this age. Getting an opportunity to interview Shino Shrine was a very important matter for him personally and professionally. He had to face it seriously.
"The interview is scheduled for Saturday. There are still two days left. Go back and prepare the interview script today. Give it to me tomorrow. I'll see if there are any changes.”
Endo was stunned. He couldn't believe that his teacher had entrusted him with the preparation of the interview script. This was a very important job, and one could even receive guidance from a teacher. Whether it was for newspapers, television stations, or even magazines, as long as one was a professional reporter, this was a dream opportunity. It was a very important work experience.
"Yes, Teacher Kojima. I will definitely finish the preparation work for the interview today!”
Endo bowed deeply, thanking his teacher for the trust and opportunity he had given him.
"This is just a routine interview, there is no need to be so nervous…Teacher Jingu is only sixteen years old, and this is also his first time being interviewed. If he sees us middle-aged and old people, he is afraid that the atmosphere will be a little tense. The content of the interview should not be too serious, nor should it be too in-depth. We will stop at the first interview, and there will be plenty of opportunities to continue the interview in the future. Therefore, your interview should be as simple and clear as possible, and the questions should be as straightforward as possible.”
As a teacher, Kojima educated his disciple earnestly.
"I understand, Teacher!"
Xiao Dao nodded in satisfaction and continued,""Since you understand, then hurry up and prepare. We don't have enough time, and we can't lose face during our first interview with Teacher Jingu.”
Endo quickly agreed and returned to his work desk. He was highly focused as he prepared for the interview the day after tomorrow.
"Young people are full of energy."
Kojima looked at his disciple's working condition. He took a sip of tea on the table and sighed.
However, he soon became as busy as his disciple. The work at Shueisha wasn't easy.
——
On Saturday, shortly after lunchtime, the doorbell rang in front of Shino Miyagi's house.
The Labrador named Jojo barked, and Shino Miyagi appeared at the door, dressed neatly. He opened the door.
"Teacher Jingu!"
Maki Ogata, the editor of Shonen Jump, stood at the door and greeted Shonen Kamiya warmly with a smile on his face.
"Xufang's editing is really punctual.”
Sho Miyagi looked at his watch and realized that the editor had arrived less than five minutes after the previous appointment.
"I'm already used to it. I'm too busy with work, so I'm always accurate to the minute.”
Shino Miyagi and Maki Ogata were dressed casually. They were not attending a banquet, so they naturally did not dress too formally, making the atmosphere too serious.
"I'm really sorry that I made Sensei Shrine run around with me instead of resting at home during his rest days.”
Maki Ogata smiled. He opened the car door for Yao Kamiya and gestured for him to enter.
The car was Maki Ogata's private car. Like most Japanese, he drove a Toyota. Of course, because it was business, he was able to reimburse the gas bill.
"It doesn't matter. I'll be resting from Monday to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.”
"Eh? Doesn't the Shrine Master go to school?"
After Shino Miyagi fastened his seatbelt, Ogata Maki started the car and asked in surprise.
"I've been studying for the past year. Well, for some personal reasons.”
Shino Miyagi replied casually.
Xufang smiled shyly at Shino Miyagi, but didn't say anything.
In his mind, it didn't matter whether Shino Miyagi went to school or not. He had already debuted as a manga artist. As long as he could maintain this, he wouldn't lack money at all. Wasn't the so-called purpose of going to school to learn enough knowledge so that he could earn money to support himself after graduation?
As for improving the quality of people and making them more educated, compared to the needs of people's lives, they had to stand aside.
"This interview will be held at the headquarters. The content of the interview is just some basic questions. Teacher Jingu, you can answer them at will. Don't be nervous, and it won't be long.”
Xufang joked. He was afraid that Shino Miyagi would have stage fright due to his age, so he had warned him in advance.
"Editor Xufang, do I look like a nervous person?”
Shino Miyagi shrugged and leaned back in the car seat.
Xufang, who was driving, turned his head to look. He saw that Akimiya had a relaxed expression on his face. He thought back to the first time they had met, and how this young man had bargained with him with a maturity that didn't match his age. He felt that his worries were unnecessary.
"But it doesn't matter if it affects my dinner, as long as Shueisha manages it.”
"Haha! Then, Xufang-sensei, you'll probably have to eat lunch with us.”
The two of them chatted casually. After meeting each other many times, they had a feeling that they were friends. The car was also driving toward the headquarters of the weekly teenager, Jump, in the traffic on the weekend.
