Female-dominated society: A beautiful boy from the countryside near Tokyo

Chapter 123 Senior Moonstar, Little Zhen

"I feel so comfortable after taking a shower, and I feel much more relaxed."

In the room, Hoshino Makoto dried his hair and sat back down at his computer desk.

After submitting the revised version of the "Buried" Frillien manga to Hoshizuki Manga, Hoshino Makoto went to take a shower.

He knew the comic book company needed time to review the submissions, so he waited for news while taking a shower; he wasn't in a hurry.

"Let's see if they've replied, but it's so late, they're probably all off work and resting by now."

Hoshino Shin turned on his computer and subconsciously glanced at the time on the screen; it was already past eleven.

It was almost midnight, and he figured the comic reviewers at Star Moon Comics should have already left for the day.

I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to receive a reply from Star Moon Comics.

However, there was nothing wrong with just glancing at it, so Hoshino opened the email with a sense of anticipation.

The next moment, several messages popped up from the email and appeared on Hoshino Makoto's computer screen.

"Hello, Senior Moonstar, your work is absolutely wonderful..."

"Whether it's signing contracts or... we at Xingyue can provide the greatest support."

"Senior Yuexing, I've already clicked to approve the contract..."

Hoshino Makoto looked at the information that popped up in the email, her fair face showing surprise.

"Isn't your aunt's company exploiting people a bit too much? Are there still people working overtime this late?"

Hoshino Shin glanced at the time since the message was sent; nearly ten minutes had passed.

Hoshino Makoto thought for a moment, then typed: "Hello, do you guys at Hoshizuki Comics have to work overtime so late?"

Hoshino sent the email, then picked up the milk on the table next to him and took a small sip.

He was thinking of opening the video software again to watch for a while, and then waiting a few minutes to check the email messages.

Hoshino felt that the other party had been waiting for almost ten minutes, and had not sent her any more messages in between.

The other party might be busy right now, so he figured he could wait a while before checking the email.

But the next moment, before Hoshino Makoto could even open the video software, his email received a notification that a message had been delivered.

"Huh? So fast? Were they waiting in front of the computer the whole time?"

Hoshino looked at the message sent to his email with surprise and curiosity.

"Hello, senior Yuexing. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Shimizu Yuzuki, and I am the niece of Shimizu Yukizuki, the president of Xingyue Manga Company."

"Star Moon Comics is a very humane comic company, and there is no issue of maliciously making employees work overtime."

"The reason I'm still reviewing contracted comics so late is because I want to achieve something and at the same time help my aunt, Shimizu Setsukatsu."

. . . . . .

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"My answer was fine, right? It should be fine."

"Senior Yuexing didn't ask about the signed contract or the copyright revenue sharing, but instead asked about the issue of overtime work."

"Senior Yuexing must be someone with high moral standards and a gentle personality."

Shimizu Yuzuki leaned forward, her chest pressed against the edge of the desk.

She stared at the email from the comic artist Yuexing on her computer screen, her delicate and pretty face filled with tension and excitement.

Ten minutes ago, Shimizu Yuzuki clicked to approve the contract for this comic, and then sent an email message to the other party.

Shimizu Yuzuki did not receive any further messages from the other party during those ten minutes.

During this time, Shimizu Yuzuki's feelings went from initial excitement to worry, and finally to anxiety.

The reason why Shimizu Yuzuki was excited at first was that she felt very lucky to have found a top-notch work that could completely make Hoshizuki Manga famous.

She had finally achieved something, and was even able to help her aunt, Shimizu Setsukatsu, which made her feel excited and happy.

But after Shimizu Yuzuki sent out the news of the contract approval via email, she began to worry.

Because Shimizu Yuzuki didn't receive a reply from the other party, she worried that the other party might have found one of those better comic book companies than Hoshizuki Comics.

Besides this thought, Shimizu Yuzuki also felt that the other person might have already fallen asleep, since it was already very late.

But what if, instead of going to sleep, this doomed Frillie Manga has found a better comic book company?

This thought gradually turned Shimizu Yuzuki's worry into anxiety, which is why she has been waiting in front of the computer until now.

And now the author of the now-ruined Frillie comic has finally replied to the message.

However, Shimizu Yuzuki did not expect that the other party's first question would not be about royalties or copyright revenue sharing.

Instead, they asked her why she was still working overtime so late, but Shimizu Yuzuki wasn't the kind of inexperienced college student who had just graduated.

After seeing the other party's reply, Shimizu Yuzuki quickly realized what was going on and gave what she thought was a correct answer.

. . . . . .

In a clean and tidy room, at the computer desk.

"Huh? Is that the older woman on the other end?"

Hoshino Makoto looked at the email messages on his computer screen.

His strikingly fair face was filled with unexpected surprise.

Hoshino Makoto knows that her older sister, Shimizu Yuzuki, works at her aunt Shimizu Yukizuki's company.

But he didn't expect that Shimizu Yuzuki actually worked at Shimizu Setsukatsuki's Hoshizuki Manga Company.

Moreover, it was reviewed by a comic book editor, and I happened to see and review his comic book tonight.

"It's the older sister on the other end, what a coincidence!"

"Sister, you're still working overtime so late. Are you working that hard?"

Hoshino looked at the information on the screen without hesitation and continued typing.

"Sister, I'm Xiaozhen."

. . . . . .

Star Moon Comics Company, in front of a desk.

"Why haven't you replied yet? Was there something wrong with my reply?"

Shimizu Yuzuki stared at the unresponsive email messages on her computer screen.

With worry in her beautiful eyes, Shimizu Yuzuki wondered if the other person was not satisfied with her answer.

Or perhaps the other party felt they were being deceived, since the idea that the person reviewing the comic contract was actually the company president's niece sounded too fantastical.

But just as Shimizu Yuzuki was lost in thought, her computer screen sent another notification that a message had been delivered.

Shimizu Yuzuki eagerly looked at the message that had arrived in the email, but the next moment, she was completely stunned.

Shimizu Yuzuki's mouth gaped slightly, her beautiful eyes widened, and she stared at the email message on the computer screen, utterly incredulous.

On the email page on the computer screen, a few small black words form a sentence.

"Sister, I'm Xiaozhen."

Shimizu Yuzuki raised her hand and then gently patted her face.

It hurt a little; she wasn't dreaming.

"Is the other person Xiao Zhen?"

"Senior Tsukishiro is Shin-chan?!"

"I really am Tsukishiro-senpai!!"
