Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"Now that Auntie has finished reading, it's my turn!" Seeing that Bai Feng was comforting her aunt, Erina Kamishiro happily picked up the novel that Ayaka Sato had placed aside and started reading.

After all, this isn't the first or second time my aunt has cried because she was saddened by watching TV dramas or reading novels.

She's used to it all.

Upon hearing this, Shirofumi said helplessly:

"Give me a late-night snack before you watch it."

Erina Kamishiro paused, realizing she had forgotten, and sighed softly.

"Ok."

Shiro Shiro wiped Sato Ayaka's reddened eyes with a tissue, who was still sobbing, and said softly and gently:

"Okay, Auntie, stop crying."

"Let's go get some late-night snacks first."

Ayaka Sato sniffed, wiped away her tears, and nodded, choking back sobs:

"Ah."

after that.

While eating a late-night snack.

Shiro noticed that Erina Kamishiro was engrossed in reading her novel, so much so that she barely ate her favorite food.

After witnessing this scene, he felt both amused and helpless.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

Anyway, Erina is the one washing the dishes, so she can watch them for as long as she wants.

after that.

After taking a shower, Shiro Kaede returned to her room.

Without saying a word, he started grinding for the magician's professional experience.

After scrolling for a while, it was almost midnight.

Shiro Shiro knew it was late and it was time to sleep, so he stopped watching the magic tutorial videos and started checking how much experience he had gained during this time.

Occupation: Magician

[Level: LV1]

[Experience: 75/100]

[Skill: (LV2 Magic Space)]

Upon seeing that his professional experience had reached 75 points, Shiro Shiro couldn't help but beam with joy.

I just feel that with a little more practice tomorrow, I can immediately upgrade my magician career.

Then you'll be able to gain skill points and attribute points again.

After looking at the Magician class, Shinobu Shiro only glanced at the other three classes.

After realizing that there was still a long time before the upgrade was coming, he gave up on the idea.

After reviewing his experiences, Shiro Shiro began to tally up today's earnings.

Today's income still came from the coffee shop, around 60 yen, which is no different from before.

After all, coffee shops are only so big, and there's a limit to the number of people they can accommodate, which means that revenue has always been limited to this level.

He had considered opening a branch, but he was already preoccupied with many other things, and opening a branch would be too much of a hassle for him.

She had to go to school, practice dance, look after the coffee shop, and also gain experience in other professions during this time.

Any more and we really won't be able to handle it.

In addition, there are many things to worry about when opening a branch.

There are a whole host of issues involved, such as hiring, site selection, training, and management; it's not something you can just decide to do and open a business on a whim.

But the most important thing is still the time factor.

His time is already completely filled, and he really doesn't have time to do anything else.

Even if it's opened, it will have to wait until later when there's more time to deal with it.

Now, compared to opening a shop, Shiro Shiro feels that writing is a better way for him to make money.

After all, you can write whenever you have spare time, and you can post it directly once you're done.

I still have so many classic novels in my memory.

Simply writing it down and making some modifications using one's own writing skills can generate a steady stream of income.

From this perspective, the profits from opening a store in the short term are not as quick as those from writing.

Of course, if you really succeed in opening a shop, the income is actually more stable than writing.

After thinking it over, Shiro Shiro decided to postpone the matter of opening a branch store until it was too late to level up. For now, he should focus on gaining enough professional experience to make leveling up difficult.

After considering all this, Shiro Shiro turned off his laptop, picked up his phone, and lay down on the bed.

I was planning to check the news before going to sleep.

He unlocked the phone with his fingerprint.

But I didn't check the LINE message first.

Instead, I clicked on X first, intending to search for my own article, "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas," and read the comments.

After making a circle, Shiro Kaede's expression couldn't help but show some relief.

Because most of the comments above are positive.

Everyone says it's very well-written and immersive, and they hope the author will publish another novel soon.

However, there were also some negative reviews.

However, the negative reviews weren't particularly bad.

They were all just talking about why they wrote tragedies, why they killed off the female protagonist, and so on.

Of course, he only searched for a small part.

He didn't know if there were any even harsher comments afterward.

After reading the comments, Shinobu Shiro thought that he would probably finish writing his book "Love Letter" by tomorrow.

However, since "White Night Walk" has not yet been released, let alone had its price discussed.

He planned to finish writing "Love Letter" and then discuss the price after they were agreed upon.

Otherwise, the submission wouldn't have been completed so quickly.

Because for every additional 10% he receives, his income increases significantly.

So submitting your work directly like this will really result in a lot of losses!

However, I'll wait until they contact me about the profit sharing.

After all, he had given all the signals he needed to, and even mentioned contacting other publishers. Anyone with a modicum of sense would probably understand that he was doing this because he wanted to discuss revenue sharing.

If they still don't contact me after all this, then it can only mean that Futaba Publishing House probably doesn't care about a novice author like me.

In that case, Shiro Shiro will have no choice but to take the initiative to discuss the revenue sharing.

If they don't agree, then go to another publisher.

Anyway, you're not afraid of wearing shoes if you're barefoot.

There are many publishing houses in Tokyo, Japan; you can always find one that offers a good price.

Therefore, there is no need to insist on staying with OnePlus Publishing House.

Make money, not shabby.

It's just a few more steps and procedures; it's nothing compared to making money!

After thinking about all of this.

Shiro Kaede turned off X Special and opened LINE.

I'm going to check the messages before going to sleep.

After he opened it, he found that many people had sent him messages.

After replying to some simple greeting messages.

After reading the news about Shiina Shoko, Nagasawa Yui, and Chitanda Mirai, Shimashiro Shirakaze decided to rest.

He first clicked on the message that Shiina Shoko had just sent.

[Shiina Shoko: (﹏) Kamishiro-kun, can I ask you a question?]

[Kamishiro Hakufu: What's the problem?]

After sending the message, I waited for a while but there was no response.

Just when Shino Shiro thought Shiina Shoko was already asleep, she sent a message.

[Shiina Shoko: (＞﹏＜) So, if Shoko guesses correctly which novel you wrote, can I ask you to go on a date with Rika?]

[Kamishiro Shirofumi: I remember that guessing this correctly was just a reward for a custom-made meal or dessert, right?]

[Shiina Shoko: o(╥﹏╥)o Shoko knows too. But Rika really, really likes you, Kamishiro-kun, so Shoko was thinking that she might be able to do her part to help.]

[Kamishiro Hakufu: Let's talk when you can guess right.]

[Shiina Shoko: (﹏) Yeah, Shoko will do her best. After I finish reading those novels, I'll tell you which one it is.]

[Kamidai Bai Feng: Yeah. 】

Shiro Shiro looked at the message she sent and remained silent for a long time.

He remembered that among the books Erina and the others bought, there didn't seem to be his novel.

In that case, it should be a bit difficult for Shiina Shoko to guess.
