Anime: My younger sister, Sora, starts as an illustrator!

Chapter 3



After dinner, it was time for the Kasugano siblings to have their regular emotional exchange.

Don’t get me wrong, emotional exchange here actually means sitting on the sofa watching TV and chatting.

“Brother, is your living expenses not enough again?”Thinking of what happened during lunch today, Kasugano Sora felt a little sad.

But there was also something to be happy about, that is, she would get paid tomorrow.

Although the spring vacation is not as long as the winter and summer vacations, the first thing Sora did after the vacation was to find a part-time job for herself.

Because of Sora’s outstanding appearance, many stores are willing to let such a beautiful girl act as a cashier.

During the winter vacation last year, Sora earned 270,000 yen in a month by working only 6 hours a day.

This made Kasugano Toru drop his jaw.

“”Destroy this world that values appearance!” This was the only thought that Kasugano Toru had at the time.

Just because his sister was pretty, she could get 1,500 yen an hour. What kind of world was this?

You know, the average high school student working in a convenience store usually only gets about 1,000 to 1,200 yen an hour. The hourly wage at an izakaya might be a little higher, but it usually won’t exceed 1,500 yen. Moreover, a place like an izakaya where all kinds of people gather is not suitable for girls to work. God knows what kind of outrageous things those drunk customers will do.

Expecting drunkards to see pretty girls It is unreliable to hope that a girl will not cause trouble after having a child, just like hoping that a dog will stop being humble and like a goddess.

But no matter what, Qiong is much better than him as a brother.

Of course, these bosses who are willing to pay high salaries are not fools.

With such a beautiful cashier, the store’s turnover can be multiplied many times.

Who doesn’t like a beautiful lady to greet you with a smile?

Although the spring break is only about two weeks, Qiong has only worked for 10 days, but as long as she gets paid tomorrow, she can also earn 90,000 yen.

Although The parents of the Kasugano siblings have passed away, but they have left them some things.

For example, the small house they live in now is an important asset accumulated by their parents.

In addition, there is a passbook that cannot be used at will.

The reason why it cannot be used at will is that the amount in it is only enough to pay for the tuition of the siblings.

The siblings have calculated before that if both of them can be admitted to a public university, the money in the passbook will just be enough for all their tuition until college, not a penny more.

Therefore, they can only rely on themselves to find a way to pay for their living expenses.

Fortunately, Kasugano Toru’s painting skills in his previous life have not been lost. He will go to the streets of Tokyo to draw portraits for others on weekends.

When the situation is good, he can earn 30,000 or 40,000 a day.

In addition, Kasugano Toru will also find a part-time job, from Monday to Friday during the spring break and winter and summer vacations (because he has to go to paint on weekends, which makes more money than working). If school starts, his sister will go to the school dormitory anyway, and there will be no one at home, so he will choose some izakayas that are open later.

1500 yen an hour is really good.

But starting from this semester, he no longer has to stay up in the izakaya until the early morning.

Because he found a more stable job

“Brother, is the illustration you mentioned reliable?”Kasugano Yui was lying on the sofa in an indecent manner, with her head resting on the armrest of the sofa.

But the sofa in Kasugano’s house was only a short distance away, and even though Kasugano Toru, who was sitting at the other end, tried to stick to the edge of the sofa, Yui’s feet inevitably stuck to him.

Because of the warmer temperature, Kasugano Toru’s clothes were not thick, but rather thin, so he could naturally feel the softness of his sister’s skin.

“Hey, Qiong, sit down quickly.”

“No, my brother is just a hypocrite.”Qiong curled her lips in disapproval. In her opinion, as a family, she and her brother did not care about this.

“Anyway, my brother is just a blockhead, he won’t be smart.”Qiong thought a little darkly.

But soon, she was happy with her idea.

Because a blockhead brother wouldn’t look for other girls.

Kasugano Toru leaned against the sofa again. Although there was no space to escape, he felt better psychologically.……

“Brother, you haven’t answered my question yet.” Putting her little feet into her brother’s arms, Qiong repeated the question with satisfaction.

“It should be reliable.”Kasugano Toru thought of the young woman he met on the street a few days ago, and felt a little emotional.

Fate is often so unpredictable.

Obviously, he has tried his best to hide his talent, but gold always shines.

“Damn, I have a temperament that has nowhere to go.”

According to the data released by the Neon Illustrators Association, the remuneration for a black and white illustration is usually 3,000 to 5,000 yen, and if it is in color, the price may be around 10,000 yen. However, due to copyright issues, the living environment of illustrators in Neon is really not good.

This is why Kasugano Toru had never considered being a full-time illustrator before.

He can not draw this month, but he and his sister can’t not eat this month, right?

But last weekend, when he was drawing portraits for others on the street, a strange woman took a fancy to his paintings and asked if he was interested in drawing illustrations for light novels.

After learning about the salary and benefits and discussing it with his sister, Kasugano Toru decided to accept the other party’s invitation.

There is no way. For him, having a stable income is more important than anything else.

Although working in an izakaya is not unstable, it is really too hard.

For a high school student who is still growing up, staying up until the early morning every day and doing physical work is really not an easy thing.

“What if my brother doesn’t get any manuscripts?”Qiong also knew that in all industries in Japan, seniority was very important. Can an illustrator who just debuted and was still a high school student compete with those illustrators who have been famous for a long time or have a lot of experience?

Just think about it, those people must have picked first, and then the works that no one cares about will be his brother’s turn.

But how much can those works that no one cares about be paid for?

“No way, that woman said, there is a good light novel that urgently needs an illustrator, if you can pass the assessment of the novel author himself, you can have a stable cooperation.”Kasugano Toru recalled the conversation that day, he felt that his chances of winning were still quite good.

“Okay, okay, I won’t talk to you for now. I have to go out to paint and earn money. I will come back to make dinner for you at dinner time.”After exchanging some feelings with Qiongmei, Kasugano Toru picked up his painting tools and prepared to go out to paint and earn money.
