Chapter 464: Talent is the most important
A few days later, Shuichi Minamino, who was originally unknown at Waseda University, has become a celebrity on campus. Not only did he officially debut in the literary world as a student with the novella "Pedestrian", but also another title that made him shine, and the identity of the only disciple of the National University writer Mr. Takeshita Kusaka is that it has attracted much attention.
For a while, Shuichi Minamino, who can be said to be in the limelight, in addition to constantly dealing with interviews and interviews with large and small media reporters, is harassed by many juniors, peers, and senior girls in the school. In their eyes, although he is not handsome and his appearance is very ordinary, he is indeed talented.
For men, it doesn't matter if he's handsome or not, but the most important thing is to be talented. Not to mention in a place like Waseda University. This look will never be better than the mind. As a result, Shuichi Minamino, who instantly rose from "Goubuli Buns" that no one paid attention to "Tang Monk Meat", was scared by the girls who boldly and actively confessed to themselves.
"Xiuyi, can you accompany me to meet someone at seven o'clock tonight? At half past six, you came to my place to pick me up. Yumi Oshima, who is holding a mobile phone attached to her right ear in her right hand, is walking around the rental room with her steps in her right hand.
"Okay, no problem." Shuichi Minamino, who didn't ask her who she wanted to meet with her, would never say "no" to the request of the goddess in her mind. Even if it is up and down the mountain and down the oil pot, it is not unrelenting. Even if he is now different, as long as he nods, he can have a girlfriend who is a beautiful and talented woman, and he still does not change his obsession with Yumi Oshima. is completely dead-eyed, explaining that falling in love with someone is really unreasonable.
After Yumi Oshima hung up the phone, Shuichi Minamino was still a little excited. Even if it wasn't a one-man date with her, it would make him happy. He is simply caught in the whirlpool of love, as long as he can see his beloved girl every day, then he is happier than anything else.
Shuichi Minamino, who returned to the dormitory, dressed up early. In this regard, he will never be late, but will only arrive early, and he can't hold back the surging mood in his heart at all, and he rushed to Yumi Oshima's residence early. It's different from the past, although he still doesn't have a lot of money, but he dares to use money boldly, after all, his books are still selling well in Yan SΓΉ literature.
In terms of sales, it is far inferior to the popular novel "My Dad" made by Miyuki Kitagawa and the best-selling book, but it is not unsold. I can get 10% of the royalties on each book. As a result, the price of "Pedestrian" is 1,500 yen, and the number of copies printed is 10,000 copies, which is 15 million yen * 10%, which is also equivalent to 1.5 million yen in remuneration.
Of course, I won't worry about Shuichi Minamino, who doesn't transfer money to his own at Wasakee Publishing House, and he knows very well that it will make a unified transfer of remuneration on the first day of every month. Therefore, he did not worry about not being able to get the money, and when he passed by a flower shop, he deliberately walked in, and bought a large handful of the freshest red roses.
Shuichi Minamino, who was holding this large bouquet of red roses in both hands, came to Yumi Oshima's gate and rang the doorbell on the side of the wall. After a short time, Yumi Oshima, who opened the door of her room, did not show the surprise of his early arrival, nor did she surprise her because the other party brought her a large bouquet of red roses. Her expression was still very ordinary, and while taking the red rose from his hand, she said without being salty: "Come in!" β
Stepping in, Shuichi Minamino, who closed the door with his hand, took off his shoes without hurrying. It's not the first time I've been here, but I'm excited every time. After so many years, his relationship with Yumi Oshima is still stuck in addition to being very ambiguous, and he has not even held hands.
Shuichi Minamino, who doesn't think he's particularly stupid, didn't think about pushing her to anything. In fact, the relationship between the two was already punctured when they were in their first year of high school in Kyoto. However, poking and poking, Yumi Oshima never had the intention of taking one more step towards him, and Shuichi Minamino didn't know why he couldn't take a step forward towards her. Even if he mustered up the courage to take a step closer to her, it prompted her to take a step back. As a result, the distance between the two has not changed from beginning to end.
Yumi Oshima, who put the large bouquet of red roses that Shuichi Minamino gave him, put it on the table, and went to the front of the desk to hold a novella that he had printed out in his hand. He turned his back again, walked straight to him and delivered it to him, and said thoughtfully: "Can you help me see how it is written first?" β
Shuichi Minamino, who stretched out his right hand and took it over, took three steps forward, and then pulled out a chair and sat down. Knowing that Yumi Oshima is desperate to make his official debut and become a veritable writer, he carefully reads with a review.
And Yumi Oshima, who didn't do anything else, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Shuichi Minamino. She was very worried in her heart, looking forward to getting a good evaluation from his mouth. In order to write such a novella, I not only spent a lot of time and energy to conceive it, but I wrote it, and I felt that it was better than any novel in the past.
Yumi Oshima, who really wants to make her official debut in the literary world, is quite unwilling to wait for a second, but immediately let it be officially released as a single book. Even if it can't be an instant hit, it is good for some people to know that there is a writer like themselves who is in the world.
Now, in addition to claiming to be a writer, what kind of thing is she? After all, a writer who doesn't have a single book on sale isn't a writer at all. Even if you write a lot, submit a lot, and publish a lot, you can only be considered an underground writer at best.
"Yumi, I'll tell you the truth, don't be angry. Although you write popular novels, it makes me feel the thinness of the content of your works. You focus too much on the description of the environment and use a lot of flowery rhetoric to pile up, so that the novel itself seems empty and weakens its storytelling. I'm afraid that your novel will not be accepted by the publishing house. I didn't finish reading it, but watched about a third of Minamino Shuichi, and frowned and made an objective evaluation of my own feelings. (To be continued.) )
