NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19
The final price of the deal was that Kasugano Toru took one day a week to discuss the plot with Kasumigaoka Utaha to deepen the character’s image.
And the girl did not pay a 20% share, but a fixed 50,000 yen reward.
Although compared to tutoring Eriri, Kasugano Toru was a loss, but long-term poverty made him understand a truth.
That is, don’t take money that you shouldn’t take!
Let’s not talk about the fact that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. Kasugano Toru knows his own weight better than anyone else. Is his level really worthy of a 20% share or a 20,000 yen an hour reward?
The answer is no.
If you lose your mind because of the temptation of money at this time, the price you have to pay in the future will definitely be far more than the money you get now.
There is no doubt that in the eyes of rich people, it is too easy to want to mess with someone.
Including the senior sister who looks very tempting and easy to talk to now.
One day in the future, maybe she will become the one who pushes him into the abyss.
You know, Toru Kasugano wants to continue to mix in the illustration circle, and as a famous light novel writer, if Kasumigaoka Utaha has any negative comments about him, who in the circle will dare to cooperate with him in the future? Toru Kasugano will not do such a thing of drinking poison to quench thirst, and he cannot do it.
But in general, today’s gains are really not small.
If he was not in a hurry to return the textbooks to the classroom, Toru Kasugano would have wanted to share this good news with his sister.
Do you think you are great if you can earn 120,000 just because you are beautiful?
Brother, I am being kept… After being hired, I only need to work four days a month to earn 200,000!
Toru Kasugano, in a good mood, hummed a little tune and returned to the teaching building. With the help of his classmates, he moved the textbooks to the classroom.
It is said that money is a good thing. With the blessing of this BUFF, Toru Kasugano can go up to the third floor in one breath without panting, his back is no longer sore, and he even has enough time to hum a song. This good mood lasted until the class meeting.
“Kasugano-san looks very happy.”Because in the whole class, Kasugano Toru only knows Kato Megumi, and Kato Megumi also knows Kasugano Toru, so the two of them naturally became deskmates.
Since returning from collecting textbooks, Kato Megumi noticed that Kasugano Toru’s smile never stopped, so she said curiously.
“Indeed, it was the first time I knew how good it felt to be with a rich woman.”Since they were friends, Kasugano Toru would not be as serious as he was when facing Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, but instead joked.
“Ah, Kasugano-san, you can’t bully the disabled. It’s a crime to cheat people out of money just because they are blind.” Kato Megumi complained in a light tone.
But the smile on her lips had disappeared.
When she saw Kasugano Toru in such a good mood, she was obviously smiling.
“No, no, how could he be blind to find my real gold on the beach?” Kasugano Toru didn’t notice his deskmate’s behavior, but boasted about himself instead.
“So that’s how it is.” Hearing the boy’s words, Kato Megumi’s smile reappeared.
She thought of what she saw Kasugano Toru drawing on the street yesterday.
“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing to worry about, right? But he’s still like this, always saying irrelevant things. Does he like to be misunderstood so much?”
……
The rooftop of Fengzhizaki Private Academy is a restricted area.
Don’t get the wrong idea, it’s not because someone has fought here that it’s designated as a restricted area. The school simply believes that if students are allowed to enter and exit at will, there may be serious safety hazards.
Although there are high barbed wire fences around the rooftop.
However, there are always some people in this world who are born to break the rules, such as Kasumigaoka Utaha who is on the rooftop at this moment.
As a top student, she can ignore the management of teachers and schools to a certain extent, as long as she doesn’t do anything out of line.
And as a beautiful girl, she can enjoy privileges among students.
When she picked up the broom during the general cleaning today, a boy would appear and sweep the floor of the classroom clean.
When she picked up the rag, there would be a few other boys who would make the glass spotless in an instant.
It’s so fast that it’s like having super powers.
The happy and leisurely girl avoided her group of licking dogs and came to the rooftop alone to make a phone call.
“Xiao Shi, have you really thought it through?”The voice on the other side was pleasant, but also full of worry.
She knew better than anyone what the novel”Love Metronome” meant to this girl named Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
That’s why she was surprised by the girl’s decision.
“Of course I’ve thought about it. In the eyes of editor Machida, am I the kind of person who makes decisions at random and causes trouble for others?”
“That’s not what I meant. I just didn’t expect you to rashly let Kasugano-sensei participate in the creation of the novel.”
If it was just a simple job as an illustrator, Machida Sonoko would definitely not have any objections.
But now Kasumigaoka Utaha wants to let Kasugano Toru participate in the creation of the novel directly. She trusts someone she has only met once so much. Machida Sonoko doesn’t know what to say.
“Editor Machida, you still don’t understand.” The girl straightened her messy hair and said slowly,”I just hope someone can understand the story I wrote. You don’t understand the feeling of meeting a soulmate.”
“The story of Boya and Ziqi has been passed down for thousands of years in China. Although I don’t expect to meet such a person, Kasugano-san is indeed the reader who truly understands”Love Metronome”.”
How should I put it? A literary girl is a literary girl. She talks about allusions all the time.
This made Machida Yuanzi feel a dimensionality reduction attack.
But if Kasugano Toru knew that he was just preparing for this job, and was interpreted like this in the eyes of Kasumigaoka Utaha, perhaps he would have been more cautious at the time.
It’s true that the reading comprehension is more than the author himself thinks.
“Well, since Xiao Shi has made up her mind, I won’t say much.” Machida Yuanzi still gave in helplessly.
But it was not her turn to comment, after all, it was Kasumigaoka Shiyu’s own book.
But after thinking about it, she still wanted to fulfill her responsibility as an editor.
“But I have to remind Xiaoshi that there is not much time left before the deadline. The battle of wits and courage with the editor-in-chief has already wasted a lot of time. If the progress is slowed down further, the popularity accumulated by the first volume of”Love Metronome” will disappear completely.”
