Last night, Chie Sakai and Takekusake, and Kako Kitagawa not only chatted freely, but also drank to the fullest. She borrowed another night here, so she naturally slept in the same room with Beichuan's mother and daughter. When I woke up and opened my eyes, I found that the mother and daughter were gone.

Chie Sakai, who was wearing a pajama from Kako Kitagawa, slept very comfortably. I don't have to ask, and I know that Kako Kitagawa went out to work early in the morning, and the cute Kitagawa Miyuki must be habitually sitting in the living room watching DVD cartoons and eating snacks. As for the bamboo mustard of "Elm Head", he either watched cartoons with Little Lori, or stayed in the bedroom to work, after all, the bilingual translation of "Rashomon" and "Heart" was pressed to him together.

Chie Sakai, who knows that he is going to buy a big house in Shinjuku Ward, does not doubt that he will become a workaholic in order to achieve his goals and work hard to make money. When she got up, after doing all the things she was supposed to do, she was still watching cartoons with Miyuki Kitagawa in the living room, and she finished her breakfast at the same time.

Returning upstairs, Chie Sakai knocked lightly on the door, and got permission from Takekusawa to enter his bedroom. He did not disturb his work on translating "Rashomon" into Chinese. As soon as she saw the manuscript on the desk of the low square table, she first approached and got her hand, then went to the side, knelt down to the side and carefully read his new novella "The Wind Rises".

Of course, Sakai Chie would not have known that this novel was written by Takekusa Wasashi and is one of Tatsuo Hori's representative works. Tatsuo Hori is the only disciple of Ryunosuke Akutagawa and the grandson of Natsume Soseki. "The Wind Rises" is a novella based on Tatsuo Hori's personal experience, and the delicate brushstrokes depict the delicate and sensitive inner feelings of the characters, and the atmosphere of the work is mournful and lingering. Intoxicating chapter & section small. Say it's in the hey ~ smoke ~ grid

The text consists of five chapters: "Overture", "Spring", "The Wind Rises", "Winter", "Valley of the Shadow of Death", and the plot of the article is very simple. "The Wind Rises" has won the affirmation and emotion of many readers with its profound ideological theme and aesthetic artistic realm, and has also become a milestone in the stereotype of Tatsuo Hori's thoughts.

Holding it in her hand, she didn't stop in the middle, and Chie Sakai, who finished reading it in one go, couldn't help blurting out emotion: "Excellent." ”

Zhu Caoji, who was interrupted by her two words, stopped the Chinese translation work in his hand, raised his head, looked at her with two eyes, and said bluntly: "What are you doing in a shock?" I'm scared of you. ”

Chie Sakai, who was holding the manuscript in her right hand and took the initiative to stand up, walked straight to him, knelt down on his right side again, and said happily: "This is another excellent novella work." When it comes out, it will cause quite a stir. At that time, not only will your fame increase, but your readership will also increase a lot. ”

"My editor-in-charge, don't come to these vain things, but give me some of the most practical thoughts." With his right hand supporting his head, his elbow is a bamboo mustard placed on the table, and he leans his body and smiles.

"Real writers are very high-minded, and they are embarrassed to ask for money. Why do you always want me to give you a raise? As soon as she heard it, Chie Sakai, who understood it, put the manuscript in her hand on the low square table and said it straightforwardly.

Zhu Caojiao, who sat up straightened his waist again, said whatever he was thinking in front of her: "Can Qinggao be used as a meal, or can it be used as a dress?" When I was very short of money. At this point, you are not unaware. Oops, I'm so poor. At the mention of money, tears are about to flow from my eyes. I wish that the money in my hand was like a hen that lays eggs, eggs hatch chickens, and chickens and eggs, and eggs and hatch chickens...... One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes sixteen...... Endless development goes. Unfortunately, I could only break one yen into eight petals. ”

"Your novel is also nearly 200 pages. Based on your current 30,000 yen per page, once it is published in the Spring and Autumn of Literature and Literature, it will be nearly 6 million yen in your pocket. In the past six months, you have not earned 200 million yen, but you have more than 100 million yen. You're a money printer. "I feel that it is really difficult to give him a manuscript fee increase, Sakai Chie, Gu Zuo said to him.

"You're my editor-in-charge, and you're my accountant." Although there is some money in the pocket, which is indeed a lot compared to ordinary salarymen, all the savings added up are less than half of the at least 600 million yen needed to buy a big house.

He didn't want to take out a loan at all, and he didn't want to give the bank a chance to eat interest, and his plan was to implement a spacious and bright high-end apartment in Shinjuku School District before Kitagawa Miyuki went to elementary school, so that she didn't have to spend about four hours on the way home from school, but only needed to spend a total of half an hour back and forth, walk slowly, and walk back and forth. Especially in winter, she doesn't need to get up before dawn, and when she goes out, she can still see the stars and the moon in the sky.

"Say something you don't like to hear. Do you do it, is it worth it? Chie Sakai, who also understood what he was working on for a reason, asked seriously.

I have long regarded Miyuki as my own, and Kitagawa Kako as a family of bamboo mustard, like thousands of responsible and daring men, I am willing to be mean to myself, but also to make their happiness and life better: "It's worth it." ”

Sakai Chie, who was suddenly sour in her heart, inexplicably had a sense of loss. The more he treats Beichuan's mother and daughter, the closer the relationship between the three of them becomes, unlike a family of three. What is he in the mind of Bamboo Mustard? Pal? Responsible editor? Or something else?

Sakai Chie is strongly aware that she and he really want to get together, and she can't avoid this obstacle between the two of them. In all fairness, she really likes to spend time with their mother and daughter. But...... Interrupting Sakai Chie, who continued to go deeper, she could only take one step at a time and said, "Since you think it's worth it, then it's worth it." As for the manuscript fee, I will try my best to get it for you. However, there should be little hope. If you can win an international award, it's easy to talk about anything. Otherwise, you can publish this new work in other publications with high bids. ”
