Chapter Twenty-Nine: Getting Rich

"Xiaolan, you must be my wingman and help me take down Mito Tsuki!"

Sonoko Suzuki has neat short hair and is full of ambition.

"I can't help you with anything......" Mao Lilan doesn't have any expectations for Suzuki Sonoko's frequent whims, and Mito Moon and Suzuki Sonoko look like two people who don't get along.

Mao Lilan and the two walked in the corridor with their school bags, but when they walked to the faculty office, Mao Lilan stopped and looked at the office in surprise: "Garden, standing at the desk inside, it seems to be Mito-san." ”

"Ah, really! Mito-kun: Was this called by the teacher to give a lecture?! ”

I saw Mito Moon standing at the desk with her head bowed slightly, and the teacher sitting on the chair with a sad brow.

It's clearly a scene where the teacher is reprimanding a bad student.

"Mito-san, if the other party is really a gangster who has been making trouble for you, the school will definitely not let this kind of thing continue, but at the beginning of the matter, you should tell the teacher about the other party's behavior or call the police."

"Hmm."

Mito Moon lowered her head, but there was no emotion of gratitude or repentance on her face.

The teacher in charge brought him in this time to ask about the gangster's photo.,Although in fact, it's true that the original owner was threatened by the other party.,But what if something happens to Mihoko Shimura.,It's Mito Moon and the gangsters hooking up?

Didan High School wouldn't allow that to happen.

"Hey, it's been the forty-ninth day of Reya Hanabuchi in a while...... the head teacher wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Similar to Chinese customs, there is also a saying that the Japanese have the first seven or forty-nine days after death.

It's been a while since the death of Hanabuchi Reya, and the all-night, the first seven or something has already been held.

“……”

Mito Moon is a smart person and understands what the head teacher wants to say and stop.

Most of them wanted to make an appearance at the forty-ninth day festival of Hanabuchi Reya to express their consolation to Hanabuchi Reya's soul.

For example, those classmates in Class A, it is said that some people went to participate in the all-night stay of Hanabuchi Reiya.

However, things never go as people want, and Mito Yue understands that even if he has the heart to participate in Hanabuchi Reiya's memorial, Hanabuchi's family will probably drive him out directly.

It's not that he killed Reya Hanabuchi with his own hands, but Reya Hanabuchi's death has a weak connection with himself, and from the perspective of Reya Hanabuchi's family, I'm afraid that without himself, Reya Hanabuchi wouldn't have died.

"Jingle Bell~"

Just when the atmosphere at the desk was a little silent, the mobile phone in Mito Tsuki's pocket rang.

Mobile phones were a novelty in the 90s, and they didn't do anything other than send and receive messages.

After the advent of feature phones and smart phones, most high schools in Japan, like Huaguo high schools, will have regulations prohibiting students from carrying mobile phones.

However, there is no such rule yet.

"Teacher ......"

"Oh oh, yes, I'm done with what I'm going to say, Mito-san, go answer the phone."

Nodding at the teacher, Mito walked out of the office and looked at the caller ID on her phone.

It is Nabe Shion editor.

"Ah, Mito-kun is coming to us." Seeing Mito Moon walking out of the office, Suzuki Sonoko covered her face shyly, and then immediately adjusted her state.

If you put her hair down completely, Suzuki Sonoko still feels like a bourgeois lady, but in the state of supporting her hair with a headband every day, Suzuki Sonoko is completely energetic and ordinary high school girl.

But Mito didn't even look at Suzuki Sonoko, who came up with a smile on her face, and went straight to the dead corner of the corridor to pick up the phone by the window, as if she didn't want to be heard.

"Mito-sensei." Nabe Shion on the other end of the phone sounded very excited, "I have good news for you!" ”

"Your novel will be published next month!"

It's already the end of the month, and if the timeline is correct, it's next month in just over a week.

However, if Kudo Shinichi is reduced to Edogawa Conan, maybe the timeline of the whole world will be chaotic, today is still summer, tomorrow is Christmas, and then the day after tomorrow becomes spring break, and then there is no hope that books will be published as usual.

"So fast?" Mito Moon raised his eyebrows, Nabe Shion's words were really beyond his expectations, "Didn't you say that you need to wait until you win the award to arrange the publication?" ”

"That's usually true, but it's great that the editor-in-chief shows your work to a famous artist, and the other party is willing to promote and recommend your book for free."

Mito Yue couldn't help but smile slightly, if he could get paid earlier, who would refuse such a good thing.

If you can't get the money again, the original owner's savings will bottom out, and you will have to work outside.

"Then who is the other party?"

"It's a great writer, you must have heard of his name, Yusaku Kudo."

“……”

"Well, scared." Nabe Shion's tone sounded very proud, after all, being able to invite such a famous writer is also the strength of Kadokawa Shoten, "I was shocked when I got the news from the editor-in-chief at the beginning, but I didn't expect the editor-in-chief to know Kudo-sensei. ”

When it comes to Kudo Sensei, Nabe Shion's tone is full of admiration, if he could have been born decades earlier and entered the industry, maybe he would have had the opportunity to meet Kudo Sensei.

As the hottest Kudo Yusaku in the current Japanese mystery novel industry, he also deserves this worship.

"But Kudo-sensei is willing to endorse Mito-sensei, and it is also Mito-sensei that the quality of your work is excellent, and if you were someone else, no matter how much you plead, you won't have this honor."

Nabe Shion feels that she is really lucky to meet a talented writer like Mito Moon in her first year at the company.

"In the case of the first edition, the trading company plans to print 30,000 copies first, and if the sales are good, there will be other plans to print more."

In fact, at first, Kadokawa Shoten only planned to print 10,000 copies, and this was if "The Mystery of Rice Flowers" won the mystery novel award.

But now the direct number has tripled, and Yusaku Kudo is equal to three times the prize!

"Then there's the issue of remuneration, the check and thank you letter have been mailed to Mito-sensei's home address, and the remuneration is a share of the original manuscript and 30,000 first-printed books, each book is priced at 2,000 yen, and the remuneration is 10 percent...... Four or five million ...... The remuneration ......! ”

After a simple calculation for Mito Tsuki, Nabe Shion felt her heart twitch suddenly.

“……”

Not to mention Mito Moon on the other side, his paralyzed expression directly multiplied by three on the spot.

"Mito-sensei? Mito-sensei? ”

"Oh." The corners of Mitotsuki's mouth stiffened.

"As Mito Sensei, concentration is strong."
