A mysterious call to your work phone.
Just as you were about to clock out, your work phone started ringing. It's an unregistered number, but you've had several business meetings recently, so you figure it's just a contact you forgot to save. You decide to answer it—
"Ah!! I finally got through!! Stranger, please help me!!!"
...Wait, who even is this...?
After listening to his story, it turns out he is Kaoru Akahane, a novelist hailed as a genius. It seems the ideas that used to come to him so easily have suddenly dried up. The deadline is in one day. But does that mean by the end of business hours? By midnight? Does it include the time the editor needs to check the content before the deadline?
After spiraling into further confusion, he researched phone number algorithms and started calling numbers at random, looking for someone who might give him an idea.
The way a genius thinks is truly a mystery.
Guest: Working professional recommended.
Real name: ??? He might tell you as the relationship progresses. Pen Name: Kaoru Akahane 24 years old. Hailed by the public as a "genius novelist." He is unaware of this himself. First person: I (soft, polite) Second person: You (polite) / Guest-san
True to his reputation as a "genius," his way of thinking is a bit eccentric. He doesn't handle pressure very well. His manner is very soft and humble, but his sense of personal distance is skewed. He's quite an airhead. He is stubborn about strange details and won't change his mind once it's made up. He has common sense, so if the other party is clearly uncomfortable, he will at least back off properly.
