Chapter 4 Do You Still Like Me?
After school in the afternoon, because the field did not add any clubs, it was a legitimate homecoming, so school was released very early in the afternoon.
On the island side, all the courses that can be solved in the morning are solved, and most of the afternoon is reserved for club activities, of course, if you don't participate in the club, you will go home for activities.
Because I made an appointment with the editor of Whisper Bunko, after school in the afternoon, Shingo Harano took the train to a café in Minato Ward.
In fact, there are several libraries that have discussed related issues with him, including several large light novel libraries, such as Lightning Library and SNACK's light novel publishing house.
But the remuneration they give to new writers is not very rich, after all, there have never been new writers who have written light novels.
It only opened for 1,200 yen per 1,000 words, but the price given by the Whiper library is 1,500 yen per 1,000 words, and you can negotiate it again.
Harano arrived at the agreed café, and according to the description of the message sent on his mobile phone, he found Inoshiro in a formal suit.
"Hello, are you an underground editor?" Shingo Harano smiled kindly.
"Yes, you're Harano-kun. I didn't expect you to be so young, please take a seat. Ininoshiro was visibly surprised.
Although novelists in recent years, especially light novelists, are very young, the immature appearance in high school uniforms still makes people feel surprised for a while.
"That's right, Harano-kun, let's open the topic directly, because you are a rookie writer, so even if I am very optimistic about your work, I can't give you too high a salary when I give advice to the editor-in-chief.
After all, I'm just an editor, so the final answer for you is 1,800 yen for 1,000 words, and if a single book is published in the future, you can get a share of four percent. You should also believe that our library has given you the greatest sincerity. ”
Ininoshiro said solemnly as he looked at the handsome-looking young man opposite.
1,800 yen for 1,000 words is equivalent to about 100 yuan, and a volume of 100,000 words is about 10,000 yuan, of course, excluding the copyright of a single book and other adaptations.
Shingo Harano was sitting on a chair with a coffee and thinking, while Ichiro Inoue on the other side was not anxious at all, but patiently waiting for Shingo Harano's reply.
After a while, Yuan Ye still made up his mind.
"Okay, I agreed to your agreement. However, I am sure that this novel will bring you a surprise that you never expected."
Yuan Ye Shingo frowned and said with a little regret, although he felt that he could be higher, but the reality was like this.
Yuan Yuan thought that if the contract broke out, he should continue to increase the remuneration, but now he is a rookie writer who has not the slightest fame, and he is not qualified to pick and choose.
"Then let's sign the contract now, I hope Harano-kun will send the manuscript to my mailbox as soon as possible," Inoue Ichiro said as he pulled out an agreement from the file bag next to him.
"Okay, I'll send it tonight, I hope we have a good time working together" Shingo Harano smiled and held out his right hand to Ichiro Inoino.
After the two shook hands, Shingo Harano signed the agreement.
After signing the agreement, the two chatted about some things about light novels, and then said goodbye to each other and left.
When he returned home, he first sent the manuscript of the first volume of the war to Inouero, and then continued to work on the second volume
The white smoke of tea swirled up next to the computer, and Shingo Harano stared at the computer, his mind unhindered, and he was working on the second volume of the dating battle, and he felt different today.
Seeing that my agreement was signed, my future life was guaranteed, and I felt very comfortable writing today.
At this time, Shigo Harano's mind was excited, and all the words turned into crimson images in his mind, and the characters in the images seemed to come to life.
It seems that my knowledge of words has become active, and the speed at which I write novels has become faster.
The train of thought is extremely smooth, and there is no jamming at all.
It's like a spring of thought, and writing is like diabetes insipidus.
Suddenly, the sound of the clock also interrupted Shingo Harano, who was immersed in his creation.
Shingo Harano looked at the clock on the wall, it turned out to be seven o'clock in the evening.
With his stomach growling, Yuan Ye got up and took a pack of instant noodles and put it in the pot, and at the same time picked up his phone to look at the messages, and suddenly found that he had new contacts added to his LINE account.
line is a communication software commonly used by the Japanese public, similar to WeChat and QQ in the Celestial Empire.
Snow Baby adds you as a friend! A red exclamation point appeared in the eyes of the wilderness.
Snow baby? Isn't this my online dating ex-girlfriend, is she here to scold herself, saying that she is a scumbag and abandoned her?
Although Shingo Harano thought evilly in his heart, he also agreed to Snow Baby's friend request.
On the other side of the phone, in a luxurious room full of pink and white atmosphere, a young girl is sitting motionless at the table where she is reading.
The long black hair is draped on the back like a waterfall, the side face under the black hair is like a beauty from a painting, and the white arms like lotus roots are holding their mobile phones.
Kitagawa Yukino has been in a bad mood recently, not only because she was dumped by her online boyfriend, but also because she was in a bad mood because of this incident, so she just had a big fight with her family.
Although she always looks cold and indifferent to outsiders, she actually hides her feelings, and only she knows her sadness.
Because of the strict family education, Kitagawa Yukino has not been allowed to get too close to boys since she was a child, so she can only rely on online dating to fill herself with the awakening of love attributes in adolescence.
Kitagawa Yukino, who was watching the classic masterpiece, immediately picked up the phone after hearing the vibration of the mobile phone.
After seeing that his friend request was approved, a trace of fluctuation appeared on his indifferent face.
instantly clicked on the other party's avatar and sent a message.
Shingo Harano put his phone on the table after agreeing, and then went to the kitchen to eat for himself.
After all, people are iron and rice are steel, and big things can't disturb me to eat, and the principle of Yuan Ye Shingo is that eating and sleeping is the greatest, and everything else is on the side.
On the other side of the phone, seeing that he had sent a message, the other party had not replied to the message for a long time, but Kitagawa Yukino was frowning in the room, biting his lip and waiting anxiously.
"Damn, this guy agrees that he hasn't replied to my messages, is he playing me again, bastard." Kitagawa Yukino thought a little bit of gritted teeth.
After about half an hour, Shigo Harano swallowed the last noodle and picked up his phone.
Suddenly, I saw that the snow baby above was actually sending him a message, and it was half an hour ago, and he didn't reply because he was eating.
Yuan Ye clicked on his line and saw a message sent by Snow Baby to himself.
"Do you still like me?"
