Is this mangaka crazy?

The next day arrived.

"Amamiya-san, you're here."

Seeing Ren slowly appear, Ayumi smiled.

But at that moment, she was stunned, her face rigid.

Because at that moment, Ren was holding a golden puppy.

It was Pochita.

Pochita is no longer the small puppy she once was.

When she first met Ren and Sakura, she was probably only half a year old.

After a year, she has almost grown into an adult dog.

Naturally, she doesn't need to stay in the pet backpack.

Ren tied a collar and leash on her and let her try walking by herself recently.

Ayumi, of course, knew Pochita, but the reason for her astonishment was...

"Amamiya-san, you've come today to discuss cooperation. Are you still bringing Pochita?" Ayumi said helplessly.

"Ah... I'm sorry, but there shouldn't be a problem. Does your company not allow dogs?" Ren blinked and asked.

Unconsciously, he had brought Pochita out.

"Not really... It doesn't matter, please go ahead first, sensei. I'll have reception take care of Pochita," Ayumi said.

"Okay."

Ren didn't intend to impose Pochita.

He didn't want to cause trouble for Ayumi.

Ayumi immediately put her in the care of the receptionist.

Pochita is also a very well-behaved dog and is not afraid of strangers.

It seems she also knows that Ren has something important to do and doesn't make a fuss when Ren leaves.

She simply lay obediently by the reception desk, and her low eyebrows and pleasant demeanor are very adorable.

This is also thanks to Ren, who used to take Pochita out before.

Pochita is a well-behaved and intelligent Japanese shepherd dog. After socialization training, she behaves even better.

Then Ren, led by Ayumi, went up to the office floor where Akatsuki Cultural Company's editorial department is located.

As soon as he arrived, Ren felt uncomfortable.

Wow! What a serious, long-lost work environment!

Some people were quickly passing by with documents, others were staring intently at computer screens and continuously typing on keyboards from their seats, and still others were on landline phones with formal and friendly smiles...

This seemingly quiet, yet extremely solemn work environment...

so familiar!

Oh my god, this is giving him PTSD! Ren got goosebumps.

"Sensei, please wait here for a while, I'm going in to notify them." Ayumi led him to the tea lounge, poured him a cup of tea, and said.

"Okay," Ren said without any objection.

Ayumi disappeared in front of him, but just as he was observing the atmosphere of the manga world's editorial department,

Ayumi quickly returned and reappeared in front of him.

"Sensei, they're ready over there and invite you in to discuss the game adaptation copyrights," she quietly said to Ren.

"Okay."

Ren stood up.

Then, led by Ayumi, they arrived at a conference room.

They pushed the door open, and Ren walked straight in.

"Hello everyone, this is Amamiya-san, the author of 'Edgerunners'."

Ayumi directly introduced him to everyone present.

Ren took the opportunity to observe the people in the conference room.

There were over a dozen people at that moment, but they were sitting in two rows.

It should be to distinguish the "powers." As for their attire...

well... everyone was wearing suits and leather shoes, and at first glance, they looked professional.

But... which side was "ours" and which side were the ones who wanted to acquire the game adaptation rights for "Edgerunners"?

Ren was a little confused.

It seemed they had been talking for a while, and presumably the intention to cooperate was almost agreed upon.

All that was left was for Ren, the nominal copyright holder, to agree.

However, at that moment, a middle-aged man near the conference room stood up with a smile and extended his hand to Ren.

"Hello, Amamiya-san, I'm Takeshi Kimura, from Akatsuki Cultural Company's Business Department. On this occasion, I'm solely responsible for the sale of your work's copyrights."

Ren suddenly understood that this was his own people, and with great willingness, he shook his hand.

"I am Haruto Yamamoto, from Hyperion Game Development, who this time wants to acquire the game adaptation rights for 'Edgerunners'."

Takeshi Kimura introduced him with great enthusiasm.

Ren observed the young CEO in front of him, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He was quite young,

but he seemed serious, and

he certainly deserved to be the company's CEO. At that moment, Haruto Yamamoto observed Ren, a young man who looked younger than himself.

He was thin, 1.8 meters tall, and looked like a bamboo stick.

He had long, messy hair, and he looked like an attractive man.

But... his carefree and lively gaze gave him a déjà vu feeling of a lively and active mental patient...

Haruto Yamamoto especially knew that Ren had created "Edgerunners", a manga work that could be considered insane in every way...

That deepened that feeling.

"Hello."

However, when Haruto Yamamoto examined Ren, Ren showed him a mouth full of white teeth, gave a neurotic smile, extended his hand, and said.

Ren actually wanted to smile kindly at him.

But his sudden smile was a little unsettling and almost scared him.

But Haruto Yamamoto, with so many years of work, still maintained his good character.

Immediately, he showed a friendly smile, much more restrained than Ren's, and shook his hand.

"I didn't expect Amamiya-san to be so young. In fact, I'm also his admirer. I really like 'Edgerunners'," Haruto Yamamoto said kindly.

To others, it was obvious that he was being polite and trying to get closer to him.

In fact, what he said was true.

He was a big fan of Ren and loved the work "Edgerunners".

Before, he didn't even read manga, much less buy manga world magazines.

But thanks to "Edgerunners", he bought two copies of "Manga World Gogo" a month.

Of course, he usually bought the two issues of "Edgerunners" that were serialized.

"Yes, thank you for your support," Ren said with a smile.

Some thought Haruto Yamamoto was just being polite, but Ren didn't pay much attention to it.

"Sit down first, let's talk calmly," Haruto Yamamoto said with a smile.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

Before Ren sat down, he suddenly asked: "You've acquired the adaptation rights for "Edgerunners". Do you have any ideas about the type of game you want to make?"

Suddenly, everyone present was stunned.

Why did Ren ask this question directly?

No one has sat down to talk yet.
