Although put on hold, the loudest issue, the composer issue, has somehow been resolved.

But there were countless other things we could discuss.

Adaptation staff, stage management, auditions for minor roles, and so on.

Of course, it went very smoothly compared to what had just happened.

As expected, as the investment increased, even the details survived well, which was satisfactory enough.

For example, the costumes were also newly produced, and even though they were imitations, they also looked at the newly forged weapon props.

“Then, the next one will be after the rough music is completed.”

“Yes, please take good care of me during the audition for a minor role.”

So the two shook hands and parted. And behind Richard Doyle Carte looking at him like that.

“I’m surprised, you don’t even have pointy ears. I was a bit surprised that he was Asian.”

said his son and assistant, Rupert Doyle Carte, with a languid expression and a quiver. Richard glanced at his son and said.

“Are you still his conspiracy theorist?”

“No, but it has to be, right? The writer who wrote such a work could not be Asian.”

Asian, of course, but distinctly different from the other Asians Rupert knew.

He is tall, and his skin is relatively fair.

Compared to Chinky, who works at the port, it feels somewhat mysterious. I wonder if that is orientalism.

Rupert was still casting an interesting glance in the direction he had disappeared.

That’s what I said, but I still care about useless things.

When the hell will the operation of the theater be spurred on?… Richard just shook his head and clicked his tongue. But there were parts that I was quite happy with.

It is true that my son, who would normally be flirting with actors his age or stuck in a corner, came out to work from this time anyway.

‘Yeah, where would it be if it came out like this?’

It looked much better than the usual melted and flowed look.

If the writer often listens to it like this, and his son comes out like this every time, it would be perfect.

‘I have to succeed unconditionally even for him!’

＜Peter Perry＞ is a long and deep work. This time, I only deal with a small part of the contents, but the rest of the contents are left for a long time.

It was said that if you do well, you can make your son come out again and again.

Besides, even excluding that, the success of this play is significant.

Isn’t Hanslo Jin’s work only ＜Peter Perry＞? ＜Vincent Villiers＞ and ＜Dawnbringer＞ are also hugely popular.

What if we signed a contract and produced all of these works on our own? For at least a few decades, your worries will disappear.

His thoughts were further strengthened after he directly confirmed the writer, Hanslo Jin.

‘He’s an outrageous person.’

He continued to humble himself and be humble… but no, he wasn’t.

The look they showed while checking things together was extremely delicate and meticulous.

Even that was not an outrageous request that he pushed unconditionally to do because his work felt like this.

It was a compromise that came from respecting the site and knowing its scope.

A typical example is when we talk about music. Although he spoke in a light humming style, what he said clearly followed the Leitmotiv established by Wagner.

It was something you would never know unless you are knowledgeable about the latest music.

Of course, the person concerned was just talking about common theme songs and feelings about OSTs, and it was a misunderstanding that occurred because most of modern music was rooted in Wagner, but Carte couldn’t know that.

‘My son’s nonsense may not be a lie at all.’

Having worked in the industry for a long time and seen a lot of talent, Doyly Carte knows it well.

A creature called genius.

Their ecology is one of two. Either drown in excessive ideals because you can’t reconcile with reality, or push yourself while breaking reality.

However, Hanslo Jin did not fall into either of those categories.

While obsessing over reality, he pursues the ideal and realizes that ideal.

It is as if they have lived and come from a future where the ideal has become a reality.

‘Ah, no way.’

Does that make sense?

Carte shook his head.

Anyway, there was one thing I had to do right away. No matter what, it’s about creating something he’ll be satisfied with!

He shouted as he slapped the back of his son’s head, who had gone into slug mode again.

“You have a lot of work to do, but are you still idling around here! Go and do at least one more audition ad with the PR department kids!”

“Oh, it hurts, Father!”

Anyway, under the bow of Hanslo Jean, the Savoy Theater was cruising today.

***

next day. Bentley Publishing House.

“Straussra… will it be all right? I heard that it was a big failure in Germany.”

No, how many times have you failed and the evaluation looks like this?

I couldn’t help but tilt my head at Bentley’s words.

The person who left such a famous song had a tremendous failure? Are you different from the Strauss I know?

After thinking for a moment, I shook my head.

“Looking at his piano skills, he’s genuine. It will probably be of great help.”

“Well, then I have nothing to say…”

“By the way, are my books selling so well in Germany?”

I don’t think it sells very well if a man equal to Strauss comes all the way to London.

To me thinking so, Bentley nodded and said.

“It’s not just Germany. We are expanding sales to Denmark, Austria, France, Orange (South Africa), and recently India.”

“Huh, already?”

No, you said you had a hard time reconnecting the old sales route, but are you already breaking through the overseas publishing route like this?

As I was admiring it, Bentley smiled shyly and looked me in the eye.

“hehehehe. So writer, please don’t abandon us…”

“Ah, no worries. Could it be that I will abandon Mr. Bentley?”

That’s why you’re worried about ＜Dawnbringer＞.

In fact, the ＜Peter Perry＞ series is also the 6th volume. After finishing the finale in Volumes 7 and 8, you should think about the next work.

Well, ＜Strand Magazine＞ is also good, but it seems to have a bit of a strong sense of its own…

But whether he knew what I was thinking or not, Mr. Bentley was still trembling alone.

Seeing that, I laughed bitterly.

“Ugh, don’t worry, the next work will also be serialized in ＜Weekly Temple＞.”

“thank you! Author!”

“By the way, what happened to the study book series?”

“Ah, yes! Author Lewis Carroll sent me the 2nd episode of ＜King Arthur and the Knight of Mathematics＞. Would you like to check it out?”

“of course.”

I smirked at the manuscript Mr. Bentley showed me.

Also Lewis Carroll. I already had a sense of it, and the story was progressing quickly.

While still maintaining the unique poetic rhyme, seeing that the content of the work is tightly packed, you don’t have to worry about it anymore.

“It’s good. I will work on this right away and hand over the manuscript.”

“yes. Oh, and Bonnie, Mark Twain’s telegram has arrived. After successfully persuading the scientist named ‘Nick’ you mentioned last time, he said that he was going to write a study book in the fields of physics and chemistry.”

“oh······.”

I said there wouldn’t be a big problem, but things in the world aren’t necessarily like that.

In the midst of my nervousness, the good news that came to me made me feel better.

“As I said before, the contents are like the adventures of Tom Sawyer, where the reckless kids in the neighborhood use various scientific laws to stop the villains from attacking the village where there are no adults.”

Roughly speaking, it was a novel version of Home Alone.

Also Mark Twain. Considering the American culture that shotguns are legal for a child trespassing on private property, the content was perfect for Americans’ sensibilities.

At a glance, the ad text comes to mind.

‘A book that enables your children to keep a house by themselves!’, ‘Scientific and safe house keeping!’ That should be enough.

Come to think of it, when Mark Twain talked about it before, he listened to this idea and laughed like a boy and liked it. He said he had built such traps near the log cabin when he was a child.

As expected, he is a writer who writes more realistically when the autobiographical part is mixed, so it was a perfect fit.

So with this, did the study novel side have its own framework?

“As the artist said before, we can proceed with labeling.”

“Okay, then I’ll leave it to you. Lastly… This is the manuscript written by Peter Perry this time. Could you please check?”

“Ugh, of course. I will read it soon.”

everything is in order to such an extent that there is nothing better.

The moment you try to organize the story with such a relaxed feeling.

“Oh, and this is a fan letter from the artist. Would you like to take a look while I check the manuscript?”

“Sure.”

It’s a fan letter······ To be honest, it was still a bit strange.

In the era of web novels when I was active as a writer, fan letters themselves were a thing of the past.

Even if they received it, there were more cases of unpleasant texts of 5,700 characters in the mail.

As such, it is always exciting to open fan letters.

I opened the small letter at the top first.

Boowook-!

Inside the letter, which was neatly opened with a paper knife, I could see letters scribbled by children with their tiny hands.

The contents are very pure, and they are sent not to me, but to ‘Peter Perry’. It was a letter that warmed my heart just by looking at it, with pictures of cute Peter and Winky drawn at the bottom.

I continued to open the letter.

Of course, it wasn’t just ＜Peter Perry＞. There was ＜Vincent Villiers＞, and there was also ＜The Mathematical Knight＞.

‘I was beaten by an aristocrat, but seeing this makes me feel better’, or ‘My kids started studying math after seeing this!’

Among the senders were occasional children from daycare centers of the ‘Alice and Peter’ Foundation.

Yes, it’s charity for this taste.

While I was opening them one by one.

“Hmm, this is…”

As if the rumor that it was sold globally was true, there was even a letter with overseas stamps, customs clearance and stamps attached to it.

Um, where did this come from? The sender… Uh, how can I find out about this? It is written so sparsely that it is difficult to read the name.

Let’s see the contents first.

I thought so and began to read the words written in the letter carefully.

and.

“······what is this.”

I involuntarily turned my head left and right and looked around. It had to be.

That would also be true in that letter… Now the editor-in-chief is checking.

The final chapter of ＜Peter Perry＞ with only the current plot, ＜Peter Perry and Radiant Ray＞.

Because it was written in its entirety.
