Chapter 44: Coincidence is not

"Mito-sensei, please come here."

Nabe Shion, who invisibly carried the mark of a hot rich woman in Mito Tsuki's mind, led the way in front, and the two of them walked through the corridor and sat down in a private room.

"Kansai-style food, Mito-sensei?"

Looking at the iron plate on the table, Mito Moon replied, "Osaka-style teppanyaki, no problem." ”

Although it is calm on the surface, in fact, it has been more than a month since I traveled to Japan, and Mito Moon has never eaten Hanyaki at all, and eats half-price goods at convenience stores every day, but how can a man say that he can't.

"That's good, the chef of this restaurant is a celebrity of teppanyaki, and I made a reservation several days in advance."

Before the chef arrived, the two of them began to talk about books and work at the dinner table, which were basically common all over the world.

"The sales of 'Rice Flower Mystery Case' are very good, and the momentum has risen sharply, and it is estimated that a new edition will be printed soon, and the number will definitely be much more than 30,000, and Mito-sensei will be able to get more manuscript fees at that time."

As soon as Nabe Shion came up, she went straight to the point and said what Mito Moon was most concerned about.

In the era when there is no online sales statistics, Mito Moon has no idea how his book is selling, although there is Nabe Momiji who buys more than ten books at one time, but he is an avid fan, and he can't be generalized and adapted to other people.

What if other people don't like the book, and if the front of the book is so boring that few people can make it to the end.

"If we look at this momentum, Mito-sensei's work may sell 500,000 units! It's a pity that the publication time is in the winter, and if the book is released at the beginning of the new year, the annual sales will definitely be amazing. ”

If it can sell 500,000 copies......

Mito Yue felt that he could go to a building in Huaguo Baijing and Shanghai, and he could be a rice worm in his next life and the next life.

"By the way, here are some of the magazines and newspapers I sorted out the evaluations of "The Mystery of Rice Flowers", all of which I cut out and collected."

Nabe Shion took out a folder from her bag and opened it to see that it was full of paper or tofu cubes cut out of magazines and newspapers.

Mito took a look, and he caught a glimpse of a person's pen name 'Onishi Ichizusan' about the evaluation of "The Mystery of Rice Flowers".

After only a few glances, Mito Yue discovered that this person's writing style is very much the essence of the later Huaguo UC Shock Department, and the words and sentences are not shocking, and he directly describes "The Mystery of Rice Flower" as the pioneering work of a new genre of mystery novels.

This kind of discourse is naturally not exaggerated when applied to the original author, Agatha, but when used on himself, Mito Moon always feels as if the other party is killing.

It won't be someone sent by the opposite family, but it's not right, I've just written a book, where will there be any opponents who don't like me.

"These are just part of it, and I believe that as "The Mystery of Rice Flower" becomes more and more popular, there will be more and more praise from all walks of life."

Nabe Shion paused and said, "But there is another thing to ask Mito-sensei to eat with today. ”

"Has Mito-sensei ever considered writing a long mystery book that can be serialized?"

"We have a semi-monthly magazine under the name of Kadokawa Bookstore, and the teacher who was serialized in that column before wants to recuperate for a while, is Mito-sensei interested in taking over?"

Kadokawa Bookstore is a behemoth in the publishing industry, and its business is not only monotonous such as publishing books, but also movies and TV dramas, and the Kadokawa Group is also involved, not to mention weekly semi-monthly magazines and monthly magazines.

"This is also very helpful for Mito-sensei's next plan, and after making a name for himself in the magazine, it will also help in the selection of novels."

"......" Mito Moon pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "Are there any restrictive requirements in terms of subject matter?" For example, whether it needs to be consistent with the previous author's subject matter. ”

He's not looking at fame, it's just money.

Mito Moon is such a man who can be frank and look directly into his heart.

"It's okay to write mystery novels that Mito-sensei is good at, and the vacated slots happened to be the subject of mystery novels before."

"I see."

"Mito-sensei is still a high school student, right?,If you serialize the column like this, will it delay Mito-sensei's study?"

Calling a teacher to a high school student, there is nothing wrong with Nabe Shion, is the master a teacher, Mito Tsuki's talent in mystery novels deserves her praise as a teacher.

"Hmm...... It shouldn't be too difficult to stay at the top of the class. ”

“…… When I didn't ask. ”

Mito Yue agreed to be refreshing, to the surprise of Nabe Shion, she thought it would take a lot of talking, but she didn't expect it to be so simple, as soon as the task was solved, Nabe Shion's stomach growled: "The chef came so slowly today, it stands to reason that this time should have arrived." ”

Don't.

There won't be another murder.

Hearing Nabe Shion's complaining words, Mito Moon blinked his eyes uncomfortably, the deaths he had encountered in the past few days had given him a clear understanding of the probability of homicide in the Kexue world.

Nabe Shion's complaint,Isn't it a proper Flag scene in the animation?

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Fortunately, this did not happen, and the muscular chef strode in.

He has a high nose and half-white hair, and it can be seen that he was a handsome guy when he was young.

It's just that it seems to be the beginning of a serious illness, and the chef's face is amazingly pale.

"Oh, it's the first time I've met Chef Liudao, I'm late."

Nabe Shion seemed to be familiar with the chef and greeted him as soon as he came in.

"Something happened to an acquaintance of mine, and he was on the phone just now."

"Is it a relative?"

"Haha, sort of, it's just someone who doesn't know it well......"

"Isn't it a serious matter? If it's serious, you don't have to force it to come and cook it for us. ”

"It's okay, I can't help if I go......"

"Six?"

Mito Moon smashed the word, frowning curiously at the chef of the six courses, dressed as a chef.

The six-way chef smiled at the corners of his mouth with a pale face: "It's the six paths in Buddhism, it's a very rare surname, since I was a child, when I was a child, people have been curious about my surname." ”

"I was surprised when I first learned Chef's last name." Nabe Shion said on the side, "Maybe there is only one chef in the whole of Tokyo with this surname." ”

"It's really strange." Mito Yue nodded, "But coincidentally, I also met a family with the surname Rokudo yesterday, and I don't know if the chef of Rokudo recognizes them." ”
