Akizuki Takazo will never get hurt

"Then, you guys order, and you can call me after you order."

"Well, go get busy, Odoriko."

Watching the other party slowly turn and leave, Katsura Manami looked at Xiao San who was sitting beside her.

"So, what would you like to order?"

- - - -

Thanks to Tuoba Xiaobai, hey hey hey cute monthly pass!Thanks everyone for the upvotes!

Chapter 133 You seem to be short of money?

"You seem to trust her?"

Taking the menu in front of him, Xiaosan flipped through the menu, looked at the dishes on it, and said to Katsura Manami who didn't seem to care much.

The woman who smacked her cheek with one hand glanced at the boy beside her, and then asked a question with a smile.

"Why do you think so?"

Xiaosan didn't answer. After glancing at Katsura Manami beside him, he quietly flipped through the menu and wrote down what he wanted to order. He hasn't prepared dinner yet. There is such a white girl...cough, it's free There are not many opportunities to eat.

After casually flipping through two pages and finding a dish that he was quite interested in, he handed the menu in front of him to Manami Katsura.

"Speaking of which, Yan Ye doesn't know how to cook, right? Don't you worry about dinner or something?"

"I didn't expect that at this time, you would suddenly worry about Yan Ye. Oh, don't worry, there is a professional nanny at home, so you don't need to worry."

And while talking, the other party's white and tender arm stretched out in front of Xiaosan for some reason, and the palm of his hand lightly rested on Xiaosan's chin, turning Xiaosan's face to his side.

"Besides, at this moment, you should pay more attention to me, right? This is the most basic etiquette, don't you understand?"

Watching with Xiaosan's calm eyes, Katsura Manami seemed to feel a little bored, withdrew her hand, and then pressed the bell for ordering without looking at the menu.

Xiyuanji Tiaozi, who had originally left, appeared in front of the two of them again soon, but I don't know if it was Xiaosan's own illusion, I always felt that the other party looked at me, it seemed a little...

"Is it ready?"

"It's still the same as before. It's better if you ask him what he needs."

Katsura Manami's expression was quite calm, as if nothing had happened, she answered Saizono Odori in a flat tone.

As for Xiaosan, he had already written down the dishes he needed, and under the watchful eyes of Xiyuan Temple Odoriko, he told the other party the name on the menu.

A pasta, a steak, and a drink, this is what Xiaosan ordered.

After Xiyuanji Tiaozi wrote it down, she left again, and the eyes of the remaining Katsura Manami also fell on Xiaosan again.

"As expected, is it a boy?"

"If there is an opinion, I can pay for it myself."

"You seem to have a big opinion of me?"

"It's rare for you to be able to see this. I'm a little surprised."

Xiaosan chuckled, looking at Manami Katsura next to him, his expression seemed to be slightly mocking, which made the expression on Manami Katsura's face look a little faded.

When the food was served, the atmosphere between the two became more dull, there was almost no communication, they enjoyed their dinners quietly, and after Katsura Manami paid, the two left the restaurant.

"Are you so resistant?"

"what?"

Sitting in the car, Katsura Manami glanced at Xiao San who was sitting next to her in the passenger seat, and then sighed lightly.

"Where is your home, I'll take you back."

Xiaosan glanced at Katsura Manami who was a bit strange, didn't speak, and looked at her quietly.

"Just take me to the subway station, and you don't need anything else."

"yes."

Afterwards, Katsura Manami sent Xiaosan to a nearby subway station, then stopped the car, looked at Xiaosan who was about to get off, and grabbed Xiaosan's arm who was about to get off.

Xiaosan, who was just about to get out of the car, frowned, and looked back at Katsura Manami who was sitting in the car with a somewhat dull expression.

"Is there a problem?"

"...Forget it, it's nothing, you can go."

Katsura Manami let go of Xiaosan's arm, then watched as Xiaosan left the car, disappeared into the distant subway station, and closed the car door again.

Taking out her bag, she took out the mirror she usually used for makeup. She narrowed her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.

"..."

Xiaosan, who didn't know what was going on with the other party, quietly bought a ticket, and then got on the subway home. When he was sitting alone on the subway, he was a little baffled by Katsura Manami's strange reaction.

With his arms around his body, he thought carefully for a while, and he could only think that his reaction had disappointed the other party.

"It would be the best if the other party can completely lose interest in me."

Xiaosan is not interested in the type of Katsura Manami, especially in that excessive way, allowing himself to be taken advantage of without dignity, which makes Xiaosan have a deep resistance to Katsura Manami in his heart.

He took out his mobile phone and glanced at it. No one had sent him a message. Xiaosan put his mobile phone back into his pocket.

Sitting quietly on the tram, and then returned to the vicinity of his home, Xiaosan slowly walked to the door of his home.

He took out the key, opened the door, and Xiaosan, who returned home, saw Qingshan Qihai sitting in the living room at a glance, who seemed to have just returned.

"Well... welcome back."

"I am back."

Responding weakly, Xiaosan returned to his home, and slowly walked towards his room, but when he reached the door of his room, Xiaosan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked at the green mountain in the living room seven seas.

"Anything else?"

He has been paying attention to Xiaosan's green mountains and seas all the time, looking at Xiaosan who suddenly stopped in front of the door of the room, he is also a little surprised.

Watching with cautious eyes, Xiaosan stopped, and cast his eyes on himself, Aoyama Qihai asked hesitantly.

After returning home, Xiao San originally planned to go directly to his room to rest, and to think about things like taking a bath in the morning, but after seeing the green mountains and seven seas who had returned home, he suddenly had an idea.

So he stopped his footsteps, and looked at Qingshan Qihai who was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Looking at the girl with brown hair and single ponytail, the bright eyes with a bit of surprise, the corners of Xiaosan's mouth slightly raised, and then slowly turned to look at Qingshan Qihai who was sitting in the living room.

Originally it was just a flash of inspiration, but at this moment it completely took root and sprouted in Xiaosan's mind, and spread rapidly.

His eyes fixed on Qingshan Qihai's body, Xiaosan's smile became even bigger, and he opened his mouth slowly.

"You seem to be short of money, isn't that right?"

In an instant, Qingshan Qihai's hands subconsciously hugged her body, looking at Xiaosan vigilantly.

- - -

I'm a little sleepy, and the fifth update may not be up to date. Let's continue to add updates tomorrow.

The bounty that was originally set, now just happened to be one more.

Chapter 134 Diligent Xiaosan, a role model in the industry

Looking at the girl who seems to have started to make up some restricted content in her mind, Xiaosan stretched out his hand and gently covered his forehead.

"What do you want to do?"

Facing the vigilant gaze, Xiaosan was a little at a loss as to what to say to the girl who was making a vigilant movement with his arms folded in front of him.

Maybe his words were too subtle?

"A job with an hourly salary of [-] yen? Are you interested?"

"Ok?"

After hearing Xiaosan's words, Qingshan Qihai's expression became more vigilant, and the expression of looking at Xiaosan also became more vigilant.

"Forget it. With your personality, you probably can't accept that level of work. Good night."

Shaking his head, Xiao San, who originally wanted to say something to persuade the girl in front of him, chose to give up after seeing the girl's completely devoid of trust expression.

Under the strange gaze of the girl, he returned to his room and closed the door casually.

Aoyama and Qihai were left behind who had no idea what Xiao San wanted to do, and sat alone in the living room. After a long time, the girl slowly returned to her room.

During the time when she came to Tokyo, Aoyama Nanami suffered from insomnia for the first time because of worry.

As for Xiaosan who returned to his room, he just fell asleep without any extra thoughts, and slept soundly.

"Huh? Teacher Jeanne has already finished the second volume? Isn't this speed too fast?"

On the weekend, Xiaosan, who was at home, called to tell Kagurazaka Iris that he had completed the content of the second volume. After that, the other party's attitude seemed extremely surprised, as if it was a little unbelievable for Xiaosan's speed.

As a former internet writer who could write at least 10,000+ words a month, Xiaosan was somewhat puzzled by Kagurazaka Iris' surprise.

"What's the matter? At this speed, is it very fast?"

Xiaosan's tone was quite soft, for fear of attracting dissatisfaction from Kagurazaka Iris.

Kagurazaka Iris, who was sitting in his office, felt like he had nothing to say. After a moment of silence, he gave a light chuckle to dispel the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"Generally speaking, the publishing speed of light novels is about five months before one volume is released. For example, Qiuyue-kun can release the second volume in only two months. It cannot be said that there is no such thing, but It’s pretty rare.”

"That's the sales volume of the first volume, no, so is it cut in half?"

"Of course not. Teacher Jeanne's sales volume is quite good even in the industry as a whole. The second volume can definitely be published."

"That?"

Xiaosan vaguely guessed something, with a hint of probing, he deliberated towards Kagurazaka Iris.

"Because the first volume was only sold recently, Mr. Joan of Arc, there is no need to be too anxious to release the second volume. In addition to the various arrangements and plans of the publishing house, even if you have already completed the second volume, Mr. It has to be postponed for at least one or two months before it can be released on the market."

Xiao San, who got a relatively accurate answer, nodded lightly, and then did not pursue the content of the second volume.

Kagurazaka Iris's answer is already very clear, no matter how good Xiaosan is, under the work arrangement of the other party, even if Xiaosan handed over the second volume to the other party, the publication will have to be delayed until one or two months later.

"I understand."

After chatting with Kagurazaka Iris for a while, Xiaosan hung up the phone with the other party, and then quietly put the phone on the desk in front of him.

With a leisurely sigh, Xiaosan felt a little helpless in his heart.

"It seems that the idea of ​​publishing consecutively and then earning income is somewhat difficult. However, it takes five to six months to quit a volume, and a volume of 10,000+ words is too leisurely."

It is not clear what is the substantial difference between the physical version and the online version. As a former online writer, Xiaosan was a little surprised in his heart.

Even if it is a gradual advancement of three to four thousand words per day, the work of 10,000+ words can be completed in one month. Even if it is to collect materials or something, it takes two months, plus preparation, four to five months It's almost there.

"Probably due to the gap in the operation link, and the cost of the entity itself is also very large."

After thinking for a long time, Xiao San still gave up thinking about these things, then raised his head, and glanced at the time displayed by the clock beside him.

"It's almost time to find Miss Izumi."

Standing up slowly, Xiao San walked to the mirror, took a look at himself in the mirror, confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his image, and then slowly walked out of his room.

Arriving at the door of the next door neighbor, Izumi's house, Xiaosan stretched out his finger and lightly rang the doorbell.

With the sound of 'click', the door was slowly opened, and it was Izumi Sagiri, Miss Izumi's daughter who opened the door.

"Long time no see, Sagiri."

"Humph."

Seeing Xiaosan at the door, the little girl didn't show any good looks, she just turned her face away, then turned around and walked towards the house.

As for Xiaosan, seeing the girl's plain and easy-to-understand mood, he followed her into the house and closed the door behind him.

Put the snacks I had prepared a long time ago on the table in the living room.

"Has Mr. Qiuyue come?"

Izumi Shayi, who was sitting in her studio, glanced towards the living room after hearing the movement, and saw that it was Xiaosan, the surprise in her eyes disappeared a bit.

"Did you buy some snacks for Sagiri again? I feel like that kid is getting fatter and fatter recently."

"I didn't!"

Izumi Sagiri, who was hiding in her room, seemed to have been eavesdropping on the movement outside the room when the door was closed. Just as Izumi Sagi had finished speaking, the girl's dissatisfied rebuttal came.
