Chapter 209 Maki is in a hurry to get down to business!
After arriving at the sushi restaurant, this time, Ayano Yui was not able to sit next to Haruno Sawayama as she wished.
After all, Maki Miyazawa is now his genuine girlfriend, and has a more appropriate reason to sit with Haruno Sawayama.
Fortunately, this time, Ayano Yui did not intend to compete with the other party for Haruno Sawayama, who had just returned from Kyoto.
So when she saw the young couple leaning together sweetly and ordering food, she just curled her lips, feeling a little depressed but didn't show it.
"Did you order tempura?"
"It's clicked."
"Did you order the onion rings?"
"It's clicked."
"What about French fries? I want to eat French fries too."
"Come to think of it, we are eating sushi, right?" Haruno Sawayama returned the menu to the waiter and asked helplessly, "Why are you ordering more fried food than sushi?"
"Hey, but isn't that what you need to eat when eating sushi?"
Maki Miyazawa looked at him with some confusion.
“Does anyone really eat sushi without ordering tempura?”
"."
Sawayama Haruno smiled helplessly.
In fact, he quite agreed with the other party's idea, probably because he almost never had tempura when eating sushi in Kyoto.
"Having your part-time job caused no trouble for you recently?"
"No, I'm not a child anymore."
Maki Miyazawa groaned and said: "The store manager sister also gave me a set of game cassettes, even though they were returned by customers."
"As long as it doesn't cause any trouble."
Haruno Sawayama picked up the cup and took a sip. When he put it down, he looked at Ayano Yui who was sitting opposite and looking out the window, and couldn't help but ask: "Where's Yui? Didn't you say before that you need to adapt to university life in advance?"
"Huh?"
"Ah, you said that."
Ayano Yui seemed a little careless.
"I did go, but I got bored soon and went back home to stay. However, the professor who was in charge of teaching me was probably afraid that I wouldn't be able to draw well if I was alone, so he forced me to give him some arrangements. Got a new art assignment.”
“I’ve basically been busy with this these past few days,” she added.
"There is an art studio in the school, right? If you don't want to go to class, can't you borrow the art studio?"
"Forget it about the studio. After all, there is no single-person studio. Even if it is a professor's own, he will run into brothers and sisters from the same school from time to time."
Ayano Yui stretched out and said lazily: "I don't want to have too much contact with them, for fear that they will ask questions."
"Is this what you told Aunt Yazi last time?"
Next to him, Maki Miyazawa immediately took up the topic curiously, "Is there anyone in the school who has any objection to your early admission?"
Hearing this, Sawayama Haruno subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the other party.
Is there such a thing?
But if you think about it carefully, it is normal.
After all, most people have worked hard for who knows how many years to get into Tokyo University of the Arts, but Ayano Yui was directly recommended because of her talent. It is normal for others to be jealous and ostracized.
What's more, she is now in a state of "she can go to school or not", so others will naturally have an even less favorable impression of her.
"Absolutely, but I'm too lazy to talk to them. Anyway, I don't usually do any activities on campus." Ayano Yui held her chin up and said slowly, "They will probably forget about me after a while."
"Yeah."
Maki Miyazawa subconsciously clenched Haruno Sawayama's hand.
It didn't mean anything special, it just reminded her of her experience of being treated specially by others in high school.
Naturally, Haruno Sawayama noticed her little thoughts, so he turned around and said, "This business trip to Kyoto went very well. The group has decided to finalize the printing matter within this week. I have to rush early tomorrow." I went to sign the contract.”
"Hey, so fast?"
Maki Miyazawa's attention was quickly attracted by what Haruno Sawayama said.
She said slightly excitedly: "Does that mean it will become popular soon? How much money can it probably make?"
"How much can you earn?"
Sawayama Haruno opened his mouth, really not knowing how to answer the other party.
It's definitely a lie to say he doesn't make money, but he doesn't seem to have much understanding of how much money he can make.
Anyway, relying on this book alone, it is definitely no problem to support Maki Miyazawa and Miyazawa Mana, and it is even more than enough.
As for how much money it can make, it depends on how long it will take for "Norwegian Wood" to reach the influence of its previous life in this era.
But he is very confident in this. After all, after experiencing this essay competition, Kodansha will most likely train him as a new star and a future top author. All resources will definitely be used. possible to meet his needs.
After thinking for a moment, Haruno Sawayama decided to tell the truth, "I'm not sure how much I can earn, but it should be a lot."
"Then I will become a rich wife in the future?" Maki Miyazawa murmured to himself.
I have thought about this kind of thing before, but after it actually happened, it still felt a little different.
Obviously she is still working in a video game store.
"If you have money, please remember to support me, please, please."
Ayano Yui, who was sitting opposite, put her hands together and looked at Haruno Sawayama coquettishly. "Young Master, with your talent, you will be able to become famous on the road of art sooner or later, right?"
Haruno Sawayama said helplessly: "It's too early to talk about income now. Let's wait until the first batch of printed books are released and put into various publishing channels."
"Are there many?" Maki Miyazawa tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Isn't it directly published as a physical book?"
"Of course it will be published as a physical book, but judging from the appearance of the group, it seems that it also intends to directly test the water in overseas markets."
Sawayama Haruno said with some uncertainty: "I'm not sure about these things. I'll have to go to Kodansha to discuss it again tomorrow to find out."
Yes, opportunities in overseas markets came faster than he imagined.
Almost not long after the award ceremony ended, Riho Morikawa told him that the group's top management had already made plans in this regard.
To be honest, being able to reach this point so quickly was beyond Sawayama Haruno's expectations.
Maybe it's because the more troubles you have in love, the smoother things will go in business.
Of course, it may also be because the export to overseas markets in this era is already very powerful, so we can directly discuss and decide whether to sell "Norwegian Wood" overseas.
No matter what, it's a good thing to have it. After all, no matter how much the islanders like this book, the number of people who can buy it is pitifully limited. We have to rely on the huge overseas market to further expand the book's sales and influence.
Maki Miyazawa suddenly pushed him with his arm and whispered: "Remember to bring the book to me when you come back."
"The computer at home is backed up."
"Yeah, that's good."
Hearing this, Miyazawa Maki's mood suddenly improved again.
The sushi ordered by the three of them was also brought to the table by the waiter. The rest of the time was basically spent with Maki Miyazawa eating tempura while encouraging Haruno Sawayama to talk about things in Kyoto.
Unable to resist his girlfriend's request, Sawayama Haruno had to carefully pick out some of the things he could say to distract her.
Fortunately, Maki Miyazawa did not continue to ask questions. When he went sightseeing in Kyoto, he always went with other fellow authors. This actually made Haruno Sawayama breathe a sigh of relief.
Ayano Yui's smile across from her was a bit intriguing, but she didn't say much in the end.
In this way, the first dinner party back in Tokyo was spent in a relatively harmonious atmosphere.
After eating, Sawayama Haruno planned to take a taxi back directly, but Ayano Yui used the excuse of "going to Itoya to buy something" to temporarily leave their group.
Haruno Sawayama didn't think much about it. After saying goodbye to Ayano Yui in front of the sushi restaurant with Maki Miyazawa, he stopped a car and returned to Shinjuku area.
In a high-end apartment in Shinjuku District, Tokyo.
Haruno Sawayama took out the key that had not been used for a long time and opened the door.
Upon hearing the commotion, Salmon Ball rushed out of the living room and headed straight for his male poop shoveler.
"Eh-"
Haruno Sawayama hurriedly knelt down and picked up the beautiful white cat.
Today's salmon balls can no longer be described as kittens.
Of course, the skinny look he had when he first came to this home has long since disappeared, replaced by beautiful white hair and beautiful sky blue pupils.
"I seem to have gained a lot of weight."
He weighed the cat in his hand and couldn't help but laugh: "You weren't that fat before you went out, were you?"
"Meow~"
Salmon Ball stretched out his paws, as if to show that he wanted to have sex with Haruno Sawayama.
Maki Miyazawa instantly became depressed when he saw Maki behind him, this little green tea cat!
"If you have good food and drink at home every day, of course you will gain weight."
She pouted unhappily and snatched the salmon balls from Haruno Sawayama's arms.
The white cat suddenly became reluctant and twisted wildly in her arms.
Miyazawa Maki was furious when he saw this scene.
Smelly cat, I have taken such good care of you this week, and as soon as Haruno comes back, you want to cling to his arms.
"Go go."
She immediately placed the salmon balls on the ground as a gesture to expel the opponent.
But the salmon balls didn't show any fear at all. They moved around flexibly and kept rubbing against Haruno Sawayama's feet.
The latter couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing!"
Maki Miyazawa bit her lip and said angrily: "If you want to stick it on, I won't give it to you."
After saying that, she grabbed Haruno Sawayama by the collar and started dragging him towards the bedroom with a confused expression on his face.
"Wait, Maki."
Sawayama Haruno quickly wanted to stop the other party.
"The suitcase, the suitcase is still at the entrance."
"We'll talk about that kind of thing later, since it won't run away anyway!"
Maki Miyazawa suddenly turned around, his face flushed and said: "Now."
"Now, I want to do that kind of thing first, can't I?"
