After introducing each other's names and identities, Kawaichi Saburo poured two cups of tea for Hanamaru Hanabi and Uesugi Sakura, placing them in front of them on the table.
In terms of age, he was the senior among the few people here, with graying hair, yet not putting on any airs.
He poured another cup for the two of them.
Uesugi Sakura sat beside Hanamaru Hanabi, taking a small sip from the teacup while listening to Editor Kawaichi and Hanabi discuss matters.
As mentioned before, this invitation was to ask her to illustrate a novel long-term.
Kawaichi Saburo continued promptly, "Teacher Hanamaru, although Shinomoto-san is a new author, his second work has great potential on our library website. After much discussion in the editorial department, it was decided that I should be responsible for this work."
Quite frankly, Uesugi Sakura didn't fully grasp the situation yet.
