Chapter 8 Section five

I was walking in the courtyard of the university with the backpack hanging on my shoulder when I was suddenly stopped by Mr. Kamo, who taught modern literature.I had a conversation with my teacher about something when I was a sophomore, and the teacher has remembered my name ever since. "Ah, you showed up just in time." "yes." "I'm looking for you everywhere." Then the teacher narrowed his small eyes and smiled mischievously, "Little girl, do you need money?" I couldn't help but also smiled, "Yes, I really need it." "Well, do you want to work part-time? Have you heard of Misaki Study Room?"

I nod.It is a solid publishing house that mainly publishes literary and artistic books. The price of Misaki Selected Books series is moderate, and the selected books are also very readable.The teacher continued: "That publishing house has decided to publish the complete works for Mr. Tazaki Nobu." Tasaki Nobu is an old man in the literary world, about eighty years old.Good at writing prose essays and short stories.Speaking of this, I just remembered that his memoirs were published by Cape Study.Recently, it is almost impossible to see any new works from him coming out.However, since a few years ago, he has been serializing the novel "Troubled Times" irregularly several times a year in literary magazines.I've also watched it intermittently.The protagonist in the book travels freely through time and space between the Middle Ages and World War II. It is an incredible novel.

"What about "Ghost Times"?" "I heard that it will be included in the last volume of the novel part of the complete works. It is a good work. It is really a great work." Kamo-sensei nodded and emphasized again and again. The teacher said in April "I want to graduate with you", that is to say, he is going to retire.The face of that kind old father-in-law is speaking happily now, like a three-year-old child.I couldn't help blurting out: "Compared to Mr. Tazaki, you are still very young, Sensei." "No, this..." The teacher scratched his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about my business, the focus is on Misaki's study room. They heard that they need help in the process of compiling the complete works. It doesn't seem to waste too much time. , so do you want to try it?"

"Oh……" I answered vaguely.I hesitate.To be honest, I haven't had a part-time job so far.Although it is not a greenhouse flower, it is indeed easier to stay in the greenhouse.I doubted my ability to do the job, and I was a little worried about the timing.However, the answer "need money" is not a perfunctory word, but the truth.I want to buy one thing - a word processor for my senior thesis. I'm pretty good at maintaining things, and now I have a pretty old one on hand.I don't need to make tables or draw statistical charts anyway, so I thought this old one would be enough.But that thinking has recently changed.Because when I went to a nearby hypermarket to buy audio tapes, I inadvertently played with the word processor displayed in the hypermarket and entered the kana pinyin of "grape", and the result was automatically converted into Chinese characters for display.This is said to be a must-have feature for granted these days, but I can't help but admire it.

I, who would admire me for such a thing, may also be a strange girl.Thinking of this, I entered the pseudonym "weird", but the Chinese characters that appeared on the screen were "safe name".This is so funny.Why this happens, I don't know.In short, the performance seems to be worlds apart, and the printing is beautiful and fast.I would love to buy one. The teacher turned his head slightly, "How is it? The people from the publishing house asked me if there was any suitable person who could help me, and I told them that I have a student I like. I'll give you my business card, and you can go and find out yourself?"

The teacher has talked to this point. Compared with the money issue, I can only be grateful.I said yes right now.
