Chapter 44 - First Encounter with Mitsugetsu Miyako

"Great! So your name is Lin Feng, right? My name is Mitsugetsu Miyako, and I'm the intern editor here."

"I've already taken a look at the content of the manga you submitted. It's a really, really fantastic piece of work!"

"I've submitted your work to the editor-in-chief for a second review. I believe it will pass soon, and then you can sign a contract for publication!"

Just as Lin Feng was still wondering where he had seen this girl with the wine-red hair before, her words made Lin Feng feel enlightened.

Mitsugetsu Miyako!

No wonder Lin Feng thought she looked familiar. It turned out she was Mitsugetsu Miyako, the daughter of Dr. Mitsugetsu, who appeared in Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld.

When he heard the name, Lin Feng's heart also felt a little uneasy.

The appearance of Mitsugetsu Miyako now, didn't it mean that the plot of Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld was about to unfold?

Because he was thinking about these things, he subconsciously ignored the fact that Mitsugetsu Miyako had just congratulated Lin Feng on his work passing the initial review.

Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld's plot is definitely among the top three most dangerous storylines in the entire Doraemon series!

Without sufficient preparation, it would be quite difficult to clear this movie without any injuries.

And Lin Feng currently had absolutely no preparation whatsoever!

Although the Golden Finger (System) had already been bound and activated, without enough Reputation Points, he couldn't exchange for any items or powerful life-saving abilities in the shop.

Nor could he participate in the lottery to try his luck.

So, if the plot of Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld were to really begin now, he would only have the identity of an elementary school fifth grader to face it.

Lin Feng admitted that after learning that the girl with the wine-red short hair was Mitsugetsu Miyako, his mood was indeed a little complicated...

"Hey...? What's wrong with you?"

"Why did you suddenly stop talking? Did something happen…?"

Mitsugetsu Miyako had originally thought that after she told Lin Feng this good news, he would also show a happy expression.

After all, having a submission approved was something worth celebrating.

However, Lin Feng's expression had been serious and expressionless ever since she finished her self-introduction.

This also left Mitsugetsu Miyako somewhat puzzled.

She tried calling Lin Feng a few times, and found that he didn't seem to hear her, so she had to raise her voice a little, and also waved her hand in front of Lin Feng.

"Ah? Uh… Sorry, sorry, I was thinking about some other things just now, my apologies…"

"Also, if I heard correctly, you said your name was Mitsugetsu Miyako, right?"

Woken from his thoughts by Mitsugetsu Miyako, Lin Feng sat up straight again, a little embarrassed, and asked her.

"So that's how it is. I thought something had happened to you just now."

"Indeed. I am called Mitsugetsu Miyako. Is there a problem?"

Mitsugetsu Miyako breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Feng's explanation. At the same time, she was a little puzzled by his question, so she asked back curiously.

"May I ask, is your father Dr. Mitsugetsu?"

Lin Feng looked up and glanced at the pendant necklace on Mitsugetsu Miyako's chest.

Although, based on the current situation, ninety-nine percent of the time, the Mitsugetsu Miyako in front of him was the same one from Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld.

But Lin Feng still couldn't quite believe it and wanted to confirm.

What if? What if it isn't? Even though the probability is tiny, almost nonexistent.

But what if there really is someone in this world with the same name, who looks exactly the same?

Well, thinking about it, Lin Feng had to admit that he was probably overthinking it. The probability of this happening was practically zero.

The truth was, it wasn't that Lin Feng didn't want to accept the facts, but rather that the plot of Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld was just too dangerous. If things went wrong, the Earth would be destroyed.

The cost was simply too high.

"Hmm? You know my father?"

"That's right. My father is indeed Dr. Mitsugetsu."

After her initial surprise, Mitsugetsu Miyako nodded, confirming it.

"I know. I often read some science fiction weeklies, and your father is often featured in them."

Lin Feng nodded. With Mitsugetsu Miyako's affirmative answer, he felt a growing sense of helplessness.

"So, were you spacing out just now because you were thinking about these things?"

Mitsugetsu Miyako smiled and asked Lin Feng.

"Well… sort of. I was just a little surprised. I didn't expect Dr. Mitsugetsu's daughter to be working as an editor at a publishing house."

Lin Feng really hadn't expected to run into Mitsugetsu Miyako here.

Because according to the original story, wasn't she supposed to be her father Dr. Mitsugetsu's assistant, doing research at the Research Institute?

"You mean this? Actually, I do spend most of my time at the Research Institute, doing research with my father. But recently, things have been pretty slow at the Research Institute, so there hasn't been much to do."

"That's why I came to the publishing house as an intern editor, to learn something new."

Regarding Lin Feng's curiosity, Mitsugetsu Miyako answered truthfully.

"I see."

Lin Feng nodded calmly on the surface, but countless question marks filled his mind.

The Research Institute has been relatively quiet recently? Nothing to do?

Seriously? It would be fine if other places were quiet, but a high-end research facility like the one Dr. Mitsugetsu is in charge of, could it really be so quiet that there's nothing to do? Lin Feng clearly remembered, at the beginning of Doraemon: Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld...

Dr. Mitsugetsu was video-conferencing with researchers from all over the world in the Research Institute, discussing the impending asteroid impact on Earth, and he was so busy that he was sweating profusely.

But Mitsugetsu Miyako now says that the Research Institute has been very quiet recently, and that she has nothing to do, so she came to be an intern editor?

Could there be something wrong here?

Regardless, it's a good thing that the Research Institute isn't busy, which proves that there's no impending crisis recently.

So Lin Feng decided to deal with the immediate issue first, and think about the rest later.
