Episode 20: Cooperation and Conditions

Mashiro and Takagi refine their concept, now titled Detective Trap, while Takagi studies the numerous detective works Hattori provides. They tell Hattori they want to pursue the project during high school, and he sets the Golden Cup as their route toward serialization, requiring a 19-page submission every two weeks to prove they can produce weekly chapters with assistants. Despite the demanding schedule, they maintain the pace and receive official entry into the contest.
