Chapter 27: Publishing Work
The dinner was great Miu and Shirahama family laughed happily. It was the first time for Miu to laugh with a normal family as she never had lived with one.
"Miu if Kenichi ever hurts you even a little tell me I will help you to make him sorry" said Saori.
"Hey Mom what are you saying!? How can I ever hurt Miu!?" said Kenichi.
"Ok ok don't fight now, Kenichi it's already quite late you should go and drop Miu to her house" said Matsumoto.
"Yes dad I was going to drop her by my bike" said Kenichi as he stood up to take the key and helmet.
"Let's go Miu" said Kenichi to Miu.
"Ok" said Miu as she stood up said her goodbyes to the Shirahama family and picked up her Teddy bear while wearing the helmet.
Kenichi and Miu took of from Kenichi's house and went towards Ryozanpaku Dojo. It was already night time so Everyone was worrying about Miu though not everyone showed it on their face as only Apachai and Shigure were waiting near the door.
Kenichi dropped Miu near the dojo.When Miu was going to give back the helmet Kenichi stopped her and said "Keep it I had bought that helmet for you so that we could go on drive together"
Miu blushed when she heard what Kenichi said but nodded her head accepting Kenichi's request."You should go know everyone must be hungry since none of them know much about cooking" said Kenichi while smiling.
"Ahhh...! I almost forgot about it, Moo Kenichi you should have dropped me earlier, bye now" said Miu while complaining a little and running towards Ryozanpaku.
Kenichi smiled looking at her back view started his bike and went away from there.
The moment Miu reached the door it was opened and Apachai and Shigure came infront of Miu.
"Miu, Apachai is hungry" said Apachai.
"Ah sorry Mr. Apachai I will make dinner for everyone right now" said Miu
"It's ok Miu came back, Apachai thought you left us" said Apachai.
"Did Kensei Ma disturbed you much tell me I will cut him" said Shigure.
"Hey I didn't do anything like that, she is late because of her date" Said Kensei Ma coming from behind some bushes trying to take pictures of Shigure's panties which ofcourse he failed.
"Ok ok she has came back we should all go inside" said Akisame coming out of the shadows.
"Tch, so it was just a date" said Sakaki who came from behind a tree.
"Who was the date with?" said Hayato coming out of nowhere.
"I also have such a great family don't I Kenichi" thought Miu in her mind.
"Ok let's go inside I will cook something for you all" said Miu smilingly as she ran towards the kitchen.
"Looks like she really had a great day today" said Akisame when he looked at Miu's smile.
"Hmnp it must have been that Kenichi I will warn him tomorrow about this" said Hayato Furiniji as he went Inside followed by the rest.
NEXT DAY
Kenichi woke up in the morning and got ready to go to Kotogawa shonen (KS) which is now at a decline due to loss of good stories and manga's. Kenichi had already decided to help them rise up again and become a pillar of their support making him indispensable for the company.
Kenichi put one of his manga that he had wrote in the past and a story of a book in his bag and picked up his bike keys to go to the KS
"Mom I am going outside" said Kenichi to his Mom as he went out of the door.
"Ok son take care" said Saori.
Kenichi started his bike and went towards the (KS). After reaching the company building Kenichi straight away went towards the receptionist.
"Hello is there something I can help you with" the receptionist asked while having a red hue around her cheeks due to Kenichi being too handsome cause of which the receptionist thought of serving him well.
"Yes I want to submit my work, so can you help me" asked Kenichi smilingly.
"Yes I will help you, right away" said the receptionist while calling the editors office, since today was Sunday there weren't many people's in the office but since someone was here to submit there work they will not want them to wait for long.
Kenichi only waited for 5 minutes and saw a young man in glasses in his mid 20s.
"Hello sir my name is Ryuto Kaguchi an editor here in Kotogawa Shonen , are you the one who wanted to submit his work"
"Yes, I am Kenichi Shirahama" said Kenichi.
"Please let me check" Ryuto said with longing in his eyes.
"Sure why not" said Kenichi and bringing both the novel as well as the Manga from his bag and showed it to Ryuto.
"I have a novel here and a manga I would like you to check the manga first" said Kenichi as he passed the Manga to Ryuto. The manga was Fairy Tail one of the best manga's of all time in his previous world.
"Yes" said Ryuto as he started reading the manga.
"Fairy Tail it's Looks interesting" thought Ryuto when he read the name.
———————
Ryuto's hands were shaking after reading the manga which will change the manga world.
"Shirahama-sensei please let us publish your work" said Ryuto.
"Would you not call me Shirahama and Kenichi instead" said Kenichi.
"kenichi-sensei please let us publish your work" said Ryuto once again.
"Sure but what about the contract, don't we have to sign that" said Kenichi.
"Yes, please wait here I will call my superior" saying that Ryuto took of to call his superior.
After 10 minutes Ryuto came with another man "Here he is boss" said Ryuto while pointing towards Kenichi.
"Hello Kenichi-sensei my name is Minato and I am the head of the company and we want to publish your work" said Minato.
"Of course you can but I have to talk about the contract and royalties that I will get" said Kenichi
"Yes, we will give you 18% royalty for know and with the sales of the manga it will increase how's that" said Minato. The amount of royalty was too big for a newbie.
"I agree" said Kenichi without hesitation as he knew that it was good enough for him for know.
"I almost forgot, I also brought a book to submit" said Kenichi while he showed the book to Minato.
"Highschool Dxd, a catchy name it is" thought Minato but after reading it he looked at Kenichi and asked "This-This book is great it includes the fantasies of men, though it's for children above 17 but I know it will be a big hit, so Sensei what about the next Volume"
"Relax I have already written 2 &3rd volume of it" said Kenichi.
"Sensei please let us publish it as well, we will give 19% royalty for this one" said Minato.
"Ok I agree, but are you sure you wanna publish them together won't the market of both clash together" asked Kenichi.
"Not at all instead it will complement each other, the one who read the manga will like to read your other work and the one who reads your book will also think the same" said Minato.
"OK then, actually I have made the images of the lead characters as in the whole Peerage of Rias Gremory of course, so that it will be helpful in the marketing of the book"
"What!? then please show us, I was going to ask someone to make the pictures of them but since you have it we don't even need to go anywhere else" Minato said.
"Ok" Kenichi said and took out separate pictures of Issei Hyodo, Rias Gremory, Asia Argento, Akeno Himejima, Koneko Toujou and Yuto Kiba and also a group picture of them standing together.
Minato and Ryuto both were amazed by the images of these characters and couldn't utter a word.
"These are the members of Rias's Peerage in the first volume when you reach the second volume I will design the character of the new members introduce in the volume" Kenichi said.
"Yes, thank you sensei" said Minato happily as Thier workload would reduce.
"And one more thing I don't want to use my real name as pen name instead it should be Sun Wukong" said Kenichi.
"Oh yes I also think it will be perfect" said Minato while thinking "Which idiot will tell your identity to the world".
After the contract was signed both parties were happy from it....
