In this life, we will meet again

Chapter 37 37. Talk about a lot of outrageous things
In the end, I still had to wait for the rain to stop in school.

"Are you an official player now?" Baiyuan Xianshu asked.

Chitose Toru's eyes wandered, and he scratched the back of his head and said, "I have to hit the ball first to see my ability, and then I will know if I can become an official player."

Baiyuan Immortal Tree stretched out his hand, and raindrops hit his palm.

"Then just go hit the ball."

"But I need to be an official player to be able to hit the ball."

"Then go and become a regular player."

Chitose Toru grabbed his hair with both hands.

"How the hell am I going to hit the ball and become a regular player without a chance to play?!"

"Go hit the ball." Baiyuan Xianshu responded in a joking tone.

"what!!!!"

It sounds ridiculous, but in reality there are a lot of things that are even more ridiculous.

The rain in July is like glass marbles falling on the ground to compose a melody. The red plastic bags in the grass are like a girl in red boots jumping into a puddle.

The baseball boy indoors was washing his hair without water or shampoo. Naturally, he found it difficult to accept this "natural and simple" fact.

The rain had almost stopped, and the two walked to the carport.

"Want to go to my house to play video games?" Chitose Toru asked.

"No, I have something to do."

The second volume of "Literary Girl" has been finished, and he is going to visit the Pastoral Club.

"Where did you come from so many troubles?"

Chitose Toru always felt that Bai Yuan Senshu had a lot of things to do after he entered junior high school. He would come to his house to play game consoles every week after school, but now he has never come once.

"Another day, I will come to school tomorrow to watch you practice."

"Forget it, I probably won't be able to play."

"You can play as long as I'm here. Let's go now."

Baiyuan Xianshu waved to him and drove to another street.

The pale sky was extremely sticky, smelling of weeds and dust.

Baiyuan Xianshu rode a bicycle to the address of the Pastoral Society in the city.

Kurosawa Takao had told him the address of the Pastoral Club a long time ago, but today was his first time here.

The office of Tianyuan Club is an ordinary two-story civil reform office building that looks concave when viewed from the sky.

Near the gate, after conveying his name and necessary information to the man at the door, Baiyuan Immortal Tree walked in.

After walking a few steps, the office door opened in front of me, and standing in front of me was a man with an extremely fierce face.

Wearing purple-rimmed glasses, the second button of his shirt is tied to the third buttonhole, and his body can be seen from the surface.

"Oh, you're the new handyman, right?" Without saying a word, the man put his hand on Baiyuan Xianshu's shoulder and generously took out a ten thousand yen note and handed it to him, "Just in time, you go buy some cigarettes and a cup. noodle"

He picked up a lot of products, and at the end he didn't forget to say——

"You keep the rest of the money to buy candy for yourself."

Baiyuan Xianshu held the money he handed over in his hand and looked at him with a smile on his face. He only felt funny in his heart.

It turned out that he thought he was a handyman who came to work during the summer vacation.

"Ah~~ I see! Don't worry! I've done the math, and there will definitely be three or four hundred left."

The man thought Baiyuan Immortal Tree thought it was too little, so he took out another five hundred yen coin.

"Hey, take this away and buy a bottle of drink. The weather is really hot."

After he finished speaking, he held Baiyuan Xianshu's shoulders with both hands, pushed it out like a toy, and closed the door by himself to return to the office.

Baiyuan Xianshu was not in a hurry. He remembered the cigarettes and other sundries he said he wanted to buy and went out to buy them.

The street was particularly refreshing after the rain. A black cat jumped on the low wall, licking its fur gracefully.

Buy the items the man mentioned in the store and go back with a large bag of snacks.

When he opened the door, he expected that the inside would be filled with posters and various clutter, but it was much neater than he imagined.

Only that man is different.

Everyone's workstation is divided by partitions. Some desks are piled with a large amount of information, some have succulent potted plants on them, and there are "little houses" for pets in the corners.

"No Smoking" is written in thick ink on the wall.

There is only one person in the office.

Among the more than ten empty workstations, only that man was looking at his mobile phone with his legs crossed.

As soon as he saw Baiyuan Fairy Tree come in, he raised his hand to greet him and said, "Just put the things you bought in the cabinet."

The Baiyuan Immortal Tree was put in according to his request.

"By the way, the broom is in the cubicle. People in the editorial department are in a meeting right now. You can sweep it while there are fewer people." The man said again.

Baiyuan Xianshu picked up the broom and dustpan in the cubicle and swept while asking: "What meeting are the editor-in-chief and the others having?"

The sloppy man crossed his legs and said, "It's a planning meeting. Members of the editorial department put forward various plans. Everyone exchanges opinions and discusses and decides on the special issue and the content of the special issue."

"Then why didn't you go to the meeting?"

"I'm an in-house photographer." He smiled proudly, "Compared to those editors, the responsibility is quite huge!"

Baiyuan Immortal Tree pretended to be envious: "Wow~~ You are so awesome!"

"That's right!" He laughed so much that the biscuits fell on his shirt. He picked them up and threw them into his mouth. "My name is Hato Aizawa. What about you? You look like you are a junior high school student, right? Are you here to work so early? "

"Baiyuan fairy tree." The pen name of "Literary Girl" is not his own name, but "Nomura".

"Yeah, a good name." Hato Aizawa nodded.

Just then, there was noise in the corridor outside. The editors who had gone to the meeting came back from the meeting.

The editors were men and women, all wearing casual clothes.

Because Baiyuan Immortal Tree was holding a broom and dustpan, they all recognized him as a student who came to work during the summer vacation. They just smiled slightly as a greeting and didn't look at him.

Only some female editors would make half-joking jokes such as "very handsome" and "sister, wait for you to grow up".

But no one stayed longer and quickly returned to their workstations.

"Ai-chan~~I bought your favorite seafood cup noodles~~" Hato Aizawa ogled a female editor greasyly.

The female editor who was called Ai-chan glanced at him with great disgust: "Can you please stop calling me Ai-chan all the time? I'm over 30 years old!"

"Then you can call me Usagi-chan."

"roll!"

The editors were about to laugh, but a figure in the corridor forced them all to hold back.

Takao Kurosawa walked in with a serious face in a plain gray shirt, stood at the door with a bunch of documents in his hand and said:

"The content of this special issue revolves around the summer activities in Odawara Commercial Street."

Just as he was mid-sentence, he saw the Baiyuan Immortal Tree standing aside.

"Fairy tree? What are you doing with the broom?"

Baiyuan Immortal Tree said: "Clean up."

"What are you cleaning?" Kurosawa Takao hurriedly stepped forward and took the tool in his hand, "Just tell me if you come early."

The editors were stunned when they saw the president being so reserved with a child, but they quickly realized that the person was probably a relative of the president.

The sudden situation made Hato Aizawa a little confused. He raised his hand in astonishment and said, "Um, isn't Mr. Baiyuan a handyman here?"

As if to answer his confusion, another boy who was in the stage of changing his voice hurriedly walked in and shouted: "Sorry! I'm late! I'm the new handyman today!"

".Uh." Hato Aizawa's Adam's apple jumped up and down like a buoy on the sea.

Kurosawa Takao stared at him with an inverted brow, and said seriously and sternly: "This is the author of "Literary Girls"! No matter how big or small!"

As soon as this sentence was said, the editors in the office were shocked. They had heard that he was a junior high school student, but they still couldn't hide their surprise when they saw it with their own eyes.

At the beginning of the year, the president said that the agency would be closed, and everyone was even thinking about finding a new home, but suddenly "Literary Girl" popped up.

This was the first time that Tianyuanshe printed tens of thousands of copies of a light novel and placed them in bookstores across the county. They were deeply impressed by the president's hard work.

Even Takao Kurosawa, an editor who wanted to become the editor-in-charge of "Literary Girl", refused to agree, and had to do it himself.

At the same time, the results brought by "Literary Girls" are also impressive. It has continuously received printing requests from other bookstores in the county, and has received continuous praise from the industry. It is only a matter of time before the first volume is reprinted three times.

"."

He thought he was a handyman, but turned out to be the savior of the club. The muscles on Hato Aizawa's face were dancing.

In the Tianyuan Club, it was all based on grades and qualifications, but in front of "Literary Girl", his small photography had no reputation at all.

Not long ago, I not only asked him to go out to run errands and buy groceries, but also asked him to do hygiene.

Hatu Aizawa raised his hand and said hello to the Baiyuan Fairy Tree with a silly smile to express his apology.

"Editor-in-Chief, is this Mr. Nomura? This is the first time we meet. I am Miai Aoyama, the editor-in-chief here. You can call me Miai. I like your "Literary Girl" very much."

The woman previously called "Ai-chan" came over, her soft smile and gentle tone impressive.

"I am Baiyuan Immortal Tree, thank you for your like."

Kurosawa Takao said: "Xianshu, it's rare for you to come and have a chat with me."

"it is good."

Under the leadership of Kurosawa Takao, the two came to another room, which was more like a reception room than an office.

The atmosphere was very much like being in school and being summoned into the counseling room by the dean.

Kurosawa Takao said straight to the point: "The royalties have been paid into your mother's account."

My mother has never told me any news about the funds. I am afraid that before this, my mother would not tell me the amount unless I asked.

"Thank you." Baiyuan Xianshu said, "Well, the second volume of "Literary Girl" has been finished."

Kurosawa Takao's expression shone a little at that moment, and he said with relief: "Great, great. Then we will increase the price of the second volume appropriately according to the market response. The range is estimated to be between 350 and 450. The region will try to cover Kanto.”

These are all things that happen sooner or later, but there is one more thing for Baiyuan Immortal Tree to come here.

After chatting with Takao Kurosawa for a while, Bai Yuan Senshu asked: "This Odawara commercial street event, Grandpa Kurosawa, can you do me a favor?"

"what?"

"I have a friend who wants to go on stage and sing, but I don't know if that's possible."

Kurosawa Takao thought it was something, just smiled and said: "It's a small matter, just go and sign up."

He thought that the friend Baiyuan Xianshu mentioned was himself.

"Well, I have one more thing."

"what?"

"Do you want to conduct an exclusive interview with Mai Kiyoaki in Tianyuan Club? She is the one who is very popular recently."

Kurosawa Takao frowned, leaned back slightly and put his hand on his chin and said, "Mai Kiyoaki, but isn't that one too far away from us? An exclusive interview would be more troublesome."

　Thank you for the tip [Growth means knowing that maturity means pretending not to know]. Thank you all for your tips so that the little author can change the cover.

　　Although I was a little sad that I failed to advance, I also gained some readers. Thank you all.
