Regarding my opening of the harem in the comprehensive world

About me starting a harem in a comic book world. Chapter 8.

"So...may I ask what high school you're currently attending?"

"Um...Maezaki High School."

"I see, so the time is set for 4pm at...um...how about the McDonald's next to your school?"

"That...why McDonald's?" , Subaru's cold sweat was already running down.

"Ahaha, thanks to you, I'm very fond of McDonald's these days, and please make sure you let me recommend a few to you to try ah..."

"Well, can we..."

Subaru tried to struggle a bit with one last shred of hope, but that hope was quickly snuffed out by Mr. Editor.

"It's settled, then Sakamoto-sensei, I'm so sorry to bother you so late, see you tomorrow."

Hearing the "beep beep beep..." busy sound of the phone, Subaru gently put it down and silently shuffled off to bed, better not go, Subaru soothed himself and closed his eyes and went to sleep. In the dream, cherry blossoms were flying, and in the haze, it was the girl who was dancing under the flowers again....

With a bell ringing, the day's classes finally came to an end. Subaru got up to pack his things, suddenly sighed, it's been so many days, still can't adapt to the same classmate's eyes, the students in his class are all directly sent over through the sports test, I as the only basketball high school student in this class actually ended up with a suspension of the club, really very popular ah.

Take out your cell phone, the bell rings 3:00 sharp, what to do, should I go see that editor, inside the McDonald's....

"Hey! Subaru!"

A female voice from the back interrupted Subaru's thoughts, and it was Subaru's childhood friend, Aoi Hizama.

"Oh~ What's wrong, Aoi? So hasty."

Aoi stood in front of Subaru, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly with her upper body, and said softly, "That, we've formed a basketball peer group."

"A basketball peer group?"

"Yeah, so I wanted to ask if you were coming to anything today..."

"Um...sorry, not today."

"What's wrong?" Aoi was a little surprised that the basketball poisoner didn't have time to play basketball?

Although he had been wondering whether or not to meet the editor, Subaru knew in his heart that he had to meet that editor, no matter how scary it was, after all, it was his first step in the world of house culture, so he couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

Subaru also didn't dare to tell the truth, that would be too different from the feeling that his predecessor gave, so he could only make up a random excuse, "That, Mihoshi-san asked me for something, she said that she wanted me to help her with something."

"In that case, there's nothing I can do about it." , hearing that it was Miisung's request, Aoi stopped being preoccupied with it and in turn admonished Subaru, "It's you, Subaru, you shouldn't be led by Miisung-san when your aunt and uncle go to Hawaii."

"Who would?!" , Subaru grunted in displeasure, waved to Aoi as a goodbye, and continued walking towards the school building doors, leaving Aoi who was still looking at Subaru derisively from where she was.

"This is it."

Subaru arrived at the McDonald's store closest to the school, although it was afternoon tea time, not many people wanted to have afternoon tea at McDonald's, so there wasn't much traffic, only a few tables of customers.

Subaru looked around the store and found a young but surprisingly young man sitting at a table by the window, quietly drinking a Coke, using his own voice and whether or not he was alone.

Subaru came to the table and asked, "Are you Kenjiro Toki?

Toki Kenjiro had already noticed the high school student who was apparently looking around for someone as soon as he walked in the door, and roughly guessed that this student would be the Sakamoto-sensei he was looking for. But Kenjiro didn't say hello, instead he was silently observing the man who had recommended McDonald's to him... Once he heard that he was indeed the author, a gleam appeared in Kenjiro's eyes.

"Yes, it's me, so you're Sakamoto-sensei?"

"Yes...yes."

"Please sit down, you're welcome."

"That, Toki-san?" , facing the editor with a powerful aura in front of him, Subaru spoke up with trepidation.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm the one who was rude." , as if Kenjiro suddenly remembered something, he pushed the menu in front of Subaru, "You're welcome, order whatever you want, it's my treat. By the way, I recommend this Mai Tai Giant Burger, it's what I've been ordering for the past few days, hehehehe..."

It seems that Kenjiro has been tortured by this phone call for so many days, and is still not over it....

"I'm terribly sorry about that phone number, Editor-san."

Subaru braced his hands on the table and bowed to Kenjiro in apology.

This time it was Kenjiro's turn to be surprised, and his heart felt a little bit more fond of Subaru, to be honest he did feel a little bit emotional, after all he waited like a grumbling woman for more than ten days, but authors are usually a bunch of very personal people he also knew, he had just wanted to complain a little bit, but he didn't expect the author in front of him to apologize to himself. Much better than that dead girl control, and that high school student who was so prolific that she gave herself a headache....

Subaru was like this, and Kenjiro was too embarrassed to continue making a scene, "No, no need for that, Sakamoto-sensei. Well, McDonald's really isn't a good place for conversation, so how about we find a cafe and sit down before we slowly discuss the light novel?"

"It would be great if that were the case."

Subaru got up and shook the hand of the editor in front of him, saying a first time real greeting.

Chapter 11 - Light Fiction and Bounty

On their way to the cafe, Subaru stopped by to explain to Kenjiro why he hadn't given his real phone number.

This made Kenjiro even more impressed, and his affection for the newborn author continued to grow. For an author who could write such a great novel to be so humble, I'm so lucky to be the first one to see it!

No need to feel exaggerated, no matter how you embellish it, society is essentially a jungle that follows the rule of the law of the jungle. As the winner of the highest prize that no one had won in six years, Subaru was perfectly capable of playing a big game. He's been on tenterhooks for the past few days because of that phone call, fearing that the author might not be interested in Dengeki Library and might switch to another company. This was the only good novel, but there were more than just one company that could do it. Their reactions also showed that this book, which had won the "This is a great novel" championship three years in a row in its previous life, wasn't just a waste of time.

Picking a coffee shop nearby, Kenjiro ordered a cup of coffee, Subaru wasn't used to the bitterness of the coffee and ordered a cup of milk tea.

"So, Sakamoto-sensei, can we start now?"

"Haha, Toki-san, there's no need to call me teacher, my real name is Subaru Hasegawa, so if you can, just call me Subaru."

After talking on the way, Subaru also learned that Kenjiro, although he looked like a fierce uncle on the outside, was actually a very kind person, it was just that as the editor in charge, sometimes being too kind would only cause those authors to procrastinate over and over again, and over time, he had developed such a temperament. Speaking of which, Kenjiro is only about 10 years older than himself, so it's really rude to take a younger Kenjiro as an uncle....

"Well, that's rude. Ahem, Subaru. First of all, I'd still like to congratulate you on winning the Top Winner Award, and just in case I need to confirm again, do you agree to publish and distribute your light novel, My Youthful Love Story Goes Wrong, at the Electric Shock Library?"

"I agree."

"Good, then I have a contract here for you to read about the novel's publishing related matters, and we'll discuss the awards afterwards." , said Kenjiro took out a contract from his briefcase, it was as thick as a quarter of a New China Dictionary.

"Oh...well, how come it's so thick?"

Subaru took the contract, the heavy weight in his hand clearly telling him that he hadn't misread it, that it was indeed his contract.

"Haha, as an award-winning work, of course our company will take it seriously, and we will also host more author-fan interactions in future releases."

Subaru nodded that he knew, picking up the contract and reading it over carefully, it was better to be more careful at this time as it concerned his own personal interests.

Seeing that Subaru was reading the contract, Kenjiro didn't rush, sipping his coffee and waiting quietly.

The contract was roughly about how to deal with any problems that might arise after the novel was published, as well as the company's requirements for Subaru's novel, which were nothing more than no plagiarism, no similarities, and so on. Subaru was really a good transporter himself, but not of this world. Subaru had done a little homework last night, and he could tell that this was a proper contract. As for the profit aspect....

"Tsuki-san, won't your company think a little too highly of me for giving me such a generous offer."

Even though he already knew that "Argano" had caused a sensation, Subaru still didn't expect that as one of the three major light novelists, the Electric Shock Library would look so highly upon him, and the financial gain aspect had reached the peak among light novel writers. Generally, in addition to the manuscript fee, there is an additional profit share for light novel writers, which is usually between 15% and 25%, and only a few big-name writers can get more than 20%. Subaru originally thought that he could get 20% was already the limit. The fact that you can't get a share of the profits from a book is a big deal, and that you can't get a share of the profits from a book.

Kenjiro laughed and explained the reason to Subaru: "Haha, you're so modest, you're the winner of the highest prize, don't you know that the Light Novel Competition held by the Electric Shock Library is not only for new writers, but also for established writers. "

It seems that I had underestimated the power of the Argano, and overestimated the extent of ACG development in this world.

After the last doubt was clarified, Subaru closed the contract and said with a serious expression, "Mr. Toki, I have read the contract carefully, and I have no more questions."

Kenjiro also sat up straight and solemn, "Then, please sign the contract." , after saying that, Kenjiro handed out the pen he was holding.

The contract was in duplicate, and after Subaru had signed it, Kenjiro carefully received it inside his briefcase and suddenly stood up laughing, oblivious to his surroundings.

"Hey! Toki-san!" , seeing the gazes cast around him, Subaru lowered his voice to remind.

Kenjiro, now aware of his surroundings, sat down on his butt and apologized, "Sorry, got a little carried away."

"Ahem, well then, Sakamoto-sensei, good cooperation."

Our editor-san extended his hand.

"Pleasure working together."

Subaru stretched out his hand and shook his own responsible editor's hand.

"Well~~ Then it's about the awards, right now the company gives two options, one is to release the novel while holding the award ceremony, and the other is to release the novel first and then hold the award ceremony when it has built up a certain amount of fame, as far as our company is concerned, we recommend you to choose the latter. Of course, it's also up to you personally."

"Well, I also agree with your company's opinion, let's release the novel first and then hold the award ceremony."

Joking, definitely choose the latter ah, wait until the novel has a name and then go to the award ceremony themselves, there will certainly be many people to see, a sentence "under Sakamoto, what do you do" certainly slut burst the whole field, wow click click click click click click click.......cough, go sideways........

"By the way, by the way, the company is going to give you the Highest Winner Award when I get back to work today, did you leave your bank account number on the author information?"

"Uh...that one doesn't seem to be either."

How little confidence do you have in your own work, hey! Kenjiro sputtered helplessly, even if he didn't leave his bank account number, he left his phone number wrong... It was good that he had asked by the way.

"Well, is it convenient for you to give me your bank account number?"

"Okay."

Subaru took out his bank card and gave the number, saying that the bank card was also made not long ago, saying that it was convenient for Mom and Dad to call their pocket money, and that the living expenses would be paid to Misei.

"I'll ask again by the way, do you know what the bonus is?"

To Subaru, who had previous experience, Kenjiro asked again unsurely.

"I don't know."

As expected... Kenjiro held his forehead, are you asking a question and not knowing!

"Ten million oh."

"Oh, ten million...", Subaru didn't care to reply, no matter what, it was just a competition, not much higher... of a... bar... "Well? What did you say? Ten million?!!!" , which gave Subaru the same fright as Kenjiro, feeling a little weak in the legs, Subaru quickly sat down and lowered his voice and asked again, "Is it really 10 million?"

"Yes."

Subaru who got reconfirmed leaned back in his chair, his mind full of that ten million, ten million yen converted to RMB is 579,000 ah. Did he become a local tycoon overnight? It's a pretty crazy world, but I like it....

Actually, the original prize money wasn't that high, but according to the rules the prize money would accumulate, and it was only after six consecutive years of accumulation that it reached a staggering 10 million. Seeing Subaru's appearance, Kenjiro felt a little funny and a little sighing.

"Hey! Back to God!" , Kenjiro got up and patted Subaru on the shoulder, interrupting Subaru's fantasies about how to use the 10 million, and put his arm around Subaru's shoulder again, "How about finding a restaurant and we have a meal together? My treat!"

"Ah...oh, sorry, I might not be able to make it today, my family is still waiting for me. How about we set it for the weekend? My treat!"

Yeah, there's a tigress waiting for me at home, and I'm sure I'll die if I don't go back....

Kenjiro laughed, "How can there be a reason for a junior to invite a senior to dinner, so let's make it a weekend, or my treat, it's a deal ah."

The pleasant two-hour conversation came to an end, and Kenjiro finally met the mysterious writer who was a godsend. The original impression of the eccentric author was unexpectedly a humble and easy-going high school student. Hey, also a student, why can't that dead girl control save herself a lot of trouble, Kenjiro sighed, not to mention the same as Subaru in front of him, even if it's the same as that Kazumi I'm satisfied ah....

"If it's you, you might be able to inject new blood into the now deadly light novel world."

After they said goodbye to each other, Kenjiro muttered to himself as he looked at Subaru, who was walking home into the setting sun.

When they got home, Mihoshi-san was already waiting for her in the dining room.

"Yo, Subaru, coming home so late, isn't the loli-controlled soul finally awakening to tailgate petite, cute schoolgirls and then venturing out with your fantasies about them?"

Okay, daily flirtation mission complete.

"What are you talking about, if the loli-controlled soul really awakened, don't you think you're the most dangerous...", Subaru said and suddenly felt the temperature next to him inexplicably lower.

"Just now... what did you say?" , source was the legal loli who was already standing in front of Subaru.

Subaru hit the ground running in an attempt to change the subject, "Speaking of what we're eating tonight, Miisei-san's food will be delicious, I'm starving..."

"No changing the subject! Well done, how dare you sarcasm me, Subaru!"

Mihoshi didn't buy Subaru's story, and jumped onto Subaru's neck, but who knows how she could jump so fast. Then wrenched Subaru's neck and fell to the ground together, quickly backhanded Subaru's hands a butt on Subaru's body.

"Pain, pain, pain... I'm sorry, Mihoshi-san!"

"Huh?"

"Mei Xing sister I was really wrong, this hurts hey!"

Mei Xing grunted again, then left Subaru alone and went to eat. Subaru was left sitting there with a regretful face.

I'm sorry, I forgot that she's a black belt in Taekwondo. Subaru can't wait to slap himself, but he touched his face....

After eating and apologizing, Subaru collapsed on his bed, exhausted, and came every now and then.

Suddenly the sound of a text message rang out, Subaru quickly climbed up and opened his phone.

"Your tail number XXXX account completed transfer transaction 10,000,000 yen on March 7th, current account balance 10,015,450."

"Oh hohahahahaha..."

Subaru mimics the way a certain sage laughed in a former apartment, and his actions and expressions are strikingly similar.

I, Subaru Hasegawa, have become a rich man!
