In my mind, I have been thinking about reading Chie Sakai, who has been reading Takeshita Kusake's first novel "Kokoro", and I can't wait to take it back to read it. So, after a few bites of dinner, she said that she was full, but she was the first to leave the dining table, and hurriedly ran from downstairs to upstairs, pushed the door directly into his bedroom, knelt down at the low square table, and in her left hand picked up the complete manuscript that had been printed out on the desk, and read it hungrily.

"Today, what's wrong with Chie?" Sitting at the dining table, Kitagawa Kako, who didn't know why, stared at Takeshita Kusaoke, who was eating vegetables and grilling rice, and asked purposefully.

"You don't have to worry about her. It's like she's losing weight. What's more, if she eats less, we will make more. I often come to us to eat, and I haven't even paid you a single yen for food. The portion she didn't eat, let me wrap it up. Takeshita Grass Mustard, who laughed informably, has not eaten well in the past two months, with things in his heart. Tonight, I can be said to have done a great job, and I finally sat down to eat such a meal easily, and my appetite was very good.

Kitagawa Kako, who didn't believe his nonsense at all, knew best that Sakai Chie had spent a lot of money on her daughter. As for the food money or something, it is not worth the other party's penny at all. She knows that she has been taking advantage of her, and the reason why Sakai Chie likes Miyuki so much and makes friends with herself is still due to Takeshita Kusaoke. Otherwise, they are people of two worlds, two parallel lines, and there will never be a day when they intersect.

After another half an hour, Takeshita Kusaoke, who had a round stomach, did not go upstairs to the bedroom to continue working, but sat on the couch in the living room with Miyuki as before, eating snacks and watching cartoons together. At this moment, Miyuki Kitagawa feels extremely happy that the good father who loves her the most has changed back. I habitually sat on his laps, and once my father saw the funny part of the cartoon, he invariably let out bursts of cheerful laughter. Kako Kitagawa in the show is naturally wearing an apron, and she is busy finishing all the finishing work after eating.

After finishing a series of housework in the kitchen, Kitagawa Kako appeared in the living room with a large glass plate in her hands and laid it flat on the glass coffee table. A large plate of cold watermelon is the best fruit after a hot meal. This is exactly what she took out of the refrigerator, peeled it, and cut it into every small piece with a knife that was easy to eat, and on top of the better ones was a toothpick that was easy to hold in her hand.

"You guys eat, I'll go and tell Chie to come downstairs and eat watermelon." Kitagawa Kako, who didn't see her here, naturally thought that she must be reading the manuscript in the bedroom of the one upstairs under Takeshita Kusao.

"I've said it all, you don't have to worry about her. After reading the manuscript, she will definitely come down. You're all tired from the day, sit back and rest. Isn't it nice to eat watermelon, watch cartoons, and accompany Miyuki? Looking at her Takeshita Grass Mustard, I hope she can be a housewife quietly, after all, the money she earns is not the slightest pressure to support this family.

For this reason, Kako Kitagawa who is unwilling always feels that her current relationship with him is not right, and her words are not good, and Takeshita Kusaoji can't stop her from continuing to go out to work, so she is not reluctant, after all, everyone has the right to choose freely. While he expressed his understanding of her, he highly recognized her great contribution to this family.

Kako Kitagawa, who no longer insisted on asking Sakai Chie to come downstairs to eat watermelon, sat down next to the right side of Takeshita Kusaoke. Pick up a piece of watermelon with a toothpick and eat it, and laugh at them watching the cartoon. Such a beautiful and happy scene is completely a family of three happy together.

I don't know how long it was, Sakai Chie walked out of the bedroom on the second floor with the manuscript of "Heart" in her right hand, went down to the living room on the first floor, and blurted out: "Takeshita-kun, I have to admit that I am going to start worshiping you." Your first novel is so well written. I really didn't expect you to be so outstanding. You really have to be someone who was born to write novels. Not only can you write short, medium, and long novels here, but you can also write them so well. Throughout the ages, you are the first! ”

"Thank you." The concise and concise Takeshita grass mustard, with a smile on her face, readily accepted her praise for her as a copyist.

In front of the single sofa on the left, Chie Sakai turned around and sat down, and said quickly, "A novel like "Heart" can only be published in a serialized way. The manuscript fee remains the same, and the single book of "Heart" will be released in the future according to the royalty of your "Rashomon". ”

"Don't! Even if you don't give me a little increase in the manuscript fee, forget it. But shouldn't royalties go up a few points? The best-selling of my "Rashomon" is an objective fact that is obvious to all. For her to prescribe the conditions of Takeshita grass mustard, he expressed his objection.

"That gives you two points, 12% royalty. That's pretty much it, don't make it hard for me. At the moment, Chie Sakai, who is his editor in charge and his good friend, has an impartial position, which not only represents the position of the publishing house, but also takes into account his interests.

"For the sake of your face, so be it!" Takeshita Kusaoke, who knew her fairness, did not wait for an inch to bargain.

Sakai found his handbag, took out the two copies of the physical authorization contract and a Parker gold pen prepared in advance in the bag, and put it in front of him, waiting for him to sign the contract and stamp it with a private seal.

"I didn't think you were not only efficient, but also premeditated." Hold the little Lori with both hands to the bamboo grass mustard sitting next to her, touch her daughter's hair, and say directly: "You go to the bedroom and take down my private seal." ”

Miyuki Kitagawa, who knows very well where her father's important things are, is very happy to be sent by him to run errands. So, she tapped her head hard and happily trotted to get it. At this time gap, Takeshita Kusaka picked up the pen and signed the physical book distribution rights of his second book to the Literary Spring and Autumn Publishing House, where Sakai Chie works. After a short time, he took over his private seal from his daughter, who had gone and returned, and dipped it with the color in the red ink box, and pressed his own seal on the place where the contract was stamped one by one.
