The development of events was beyond Chitanda's expectations, and he regretted that he didn't figure out the situation thoroughly, so he casually spoke for his senior sister, but he was caught by the editor of Machida.

At this moment, he was a little at a loss how to speak.

Machida editor rubbed her eyebrows, annoyed, she didn't seem to have the idea of scheming with Chitanda, but sighed imperceptibly, "It seems that Xiaoshi is really in trouble." ”

Chitanda pursed his lower lip, and in the words of the editor of Machida, he heard the meaning of what you think of Motoyoshi, "Machida editor is experienced, do you think the senior sister will be in trouble?" ”

Machida editor was stunned, looking at the corner of Chitanda's mouth with a hint of smile, she groaned and said: "The latest volume of the small poem was originally completed, but this morning she suddenly decided to tear back a large part of the content and start over, I think it must be yesterday afternoon to evening, she has some new feelings." ”

"Hmm......"

Qianantitian Chengyu scratched his head, from yesterday afternoon to evening, there was no doubt that it happened at his house......

"So ......"

Machida editor took out a pale silver magnetic card from the pocket of his suit and put it in front of Chitanda Chengyu's eyes, "Since Xiaoshi is unwilling to confide in me the reason, can I ask you to try it?" If you can find out, I can make an exception and consider whether or not to let her go home. ”

"Uh...... Just thinking about it? ”

Machida smiled, "If it was really a legitimate reason or a special circumstance, I would have agreed without hesitation." ”

Qianantitian Chengyu didn't know if he could ask about the situation of his senior sister, but he still picked up the magnetic card that opened the door, after all, he didn't want to see anything change in the original "Love Metronome".

"I'm going to try to talk to my senior sister now."

"I don't think it's necessary to go out of here, let's let Xiaoshi rest for a while. Chitanda-san, who is here to apply for a translator, should also arrange your lunch, and then I will ask you to bring dinner for Xiaoshi. ”

Machida editor spoke slowly, and he thought about it very comprehensively, Chitanda Narita really needs a good entry point and deliver food

It's just that......

Qian Yan Tian Chengyu hesitated a little and said: "Actually, I can't guarantee that I can ask about the situation of the senior sister soon......... And after a while, when the results of Yamada's editing come out, it's time to go home. After all, it's dinner time soon, and Aunt Tsurumi has only one little sister at home, so it's not a long time to delay. ”

Aunt Tsurumi had been listening quietly, and when she saw the two of them talking about Xiao Rumi, her face was a little hesitant, and she said softly: "That's true...... And it's raining hard today, so I'm a little worried about letting Chitanda go home alone. ”

Machida didn't give up, she thought about it, but begged more and more insistently, "Then can you please let Chitanda live in my house tonight." My house is not very far from here, and with me taking care of it, Tsurumi can rest assured. ”

"This ......"

Aunt Tsurumi looked at Chitanda, and Chitanda Chengyu had no reason to refuse, so she had to nod, "Then, about sending food to senior sister, Machida editor, please leave it to me." ”

………

When he returned to look for Yamada's editor, Sentanda Chengyu patted his head and remembered: It is better to be more anxious about his part-time employment than to pay attention to the affairs of his senior sister.

People who don't do it and don't die and overturn it are often due to too much self-confidence. And like him, he almost has to put his worries behind, which is even more dangerous.

Restrained from arrogance, following the guidance of the previous Yamada editor, Sentanda Narita Chengyu found a suite with Yamada's house number on the 8th floor.

I knocked on the door, and not only Yamada editor, but Rukawa-sensei was also inside. As soon as he entered the door, he was a little excited and grabbed the sleeve of Qiantantian Chengyu, "Qiantantian's junior translator is very good!" ”

Qianantitian Chengyu was a little embarrassed by his enthusiasm, and said reluctantly modestly: "Hmm...... Mr. Rukawa has won the prize, right...... I'm just a newbie.,There must be a lot of shortcomings.,And ask the teacher for more advice.。。 ”

Teacher Rukawa calmed down a little and led Chitanda Chengyu to sit down on the side, "While waiting, I have just read Chitanda-san's translation. The number of words after translation alone is a lot more than me, and it is not deliberately procrastinating, but every word has a subtle feeling, which not only has the beauty of Chinese, but also appropriately depicts the feeling that Mr. Yamada fairy wants to express, which really surprises me! ”

Sentanda Chengyu smiled bitterly and coped for a while, finally waiting for the reply of Yamada's editor, or the Yamada fairy who was locked in the inner room of the suite.

"How? What does Yamada Fairy Sensei think? ”

Rukawa didn't know that the true face of the Yamada fairy was just a middle-aged middle school girl, but he only knew that this was a writer who could translate works on his own, so he naturally consulted with a serious and expectant look.

Editor Chris Yamada nodded, "The two teachers have translated very well, and Mr. Yamada and I have decided to invite the two of us to translate the second to fifth volumes of "The Dark Goblins of the Flames." ”

"So how exactly is it distributed?" Chitanda asked.

Editor Yamada did not hesitate and said directly: "We hope that Chitanda-sensei can translate the second volume, Rukawa-sensei translates the third volume, and the next two volumes depend on the speed of the two teachers, and whoever can finish it earlier will translate the fourth volume." ”

Chitanda and Rukawa glanced at each other and said in unison: "Okay!" ”

………

There is no need to repeat what happened after that, Aunt Tsurumi went home, and Sentanda Narita and Rukawa-sensei were entertained by Yamada in the upstairs café together, and signed an agreement by the way.

The salary of the translator of the second volume is one million yen, with 100,000 yen paid in advance and the remaining 900,000 yen after the translation is completed, for a total of almost 800,000 yen after tax.

Qianantitian Chengyu is in a good mood, work hard, and stay up for a few nights to almost finish it, and he probably doesn't need to worry about money in a short time.

Thinking that Kasumigaoka's predecessors were still waiting for dinner, in the café, Chitanda also ate some symbolically.

His stomach was about a quarter full, so he got up and said goodbye, bought desserts, cakes, and coffee for two and went upstairs to meet Sister Kasumigaoka.

As he passed by the editorial office, Machida smiled knowingly and made a cheering gesture, "Call me when you're done." ”

Qianantitian Chengyu was a little at a loss for what expression to make, "Hmm...... Got it. ”

It's still the iron door, Chitanda Chengyu looked through the iron railing, and didn't see the shadow of Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

He thought about it for a moment and didn't knock on the door, put down the food first, took out the magnetic card from his pocket and swiped the door lock.

The door opened, and he crept in with a plate, and said softly: "Senior Shiyu, I'm here to deliver prison food!" ”
