Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"Yeah, okay"

As she spoke, she stood up.

Xiangbe Shino smiled and asked:

"Since you're sitting in front of Kamishiro-kun, you must have spent some time with him already. What do you think of him normally?"

Upon hearing this, Mizuno Maki hesitated, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards Kamishiro Shirokaze, her ears turning slightly red. Knowing the video would be broadcast on television, she didn't dare look any longer and quickly averted her gaze, saying somewhat shyly:

"Very good."

"A humorous way of speaking makes everyone happy."

Many students in the class like him very much.

Aibe Shino was not surprised by the answer and continued to smile as he asked:

"Do you know if Kamishiro-kun has any secrets?"

"For example, do you have a crush on a girl?"

Mizuno Maki blushed and immediately turned to look at Kamishiro Shirokaze.

Kamishiro Hakufeng realized something and immediately looked up at Mizuno Maki.

When he realized that she was looking at him, Shiro Shiro thought to himself, could it be that Mizuno Maki actually remembered the time he confessed to her all along?

The two stared at each other for a long while.

Finally, Maki Mizuno was the first to look away, shyly lowering her head and stammering:

"I don't know about those things."

"But he's currently writing and publishing a novel, does that count?"

Aibe Shino stared blankly for a moment, then turned to look at Kamishiro Shiro:

"Eh?"

"really?"

"Kamishiro-kun's literary novels have even been published?"

Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:

"Yes."

Xiangbe Shino said in surprise:

"It seems that Kamishiro-kun is indeed very powerful."

"They even managed to publish a novel."

"That's really impressive."

Aibe Shino was genuinely surprised by this.

But after thinking about it, I think it makes sense.

Because Kamishiro-kun himself joined the Literature Club.

It's perfectly normal for someone to be writing novels.

To her real surprise, his submission was successful and has already been published.

It's important to understand that the difficulty of submitting literary works and anime/manga works is on completely different levels.

Publishing literary novels is very difficult.

Out of a hundred authors, only two or three books will be successfully submitted.

Most of them don't even get a second chance for review.

It's truly impressive that Shiro Kaede was able to submit her work and have it successfully published.

However, Shino Aibe knew that once the publication was successful, it would be available for sale.

However, selling is a different story.

In fact, if the first printing of a book doesn't sell well after it's released, there's basically no chance of a second publication.

In this situation, the author himself is unlikely to profit much.

Because the publishing house handles all the commercial activities, such as printing and contacting bookstores.

The expenses involved are also considerable.

The first print run could only earn the author a few hundred thousand yen at most, but that was the maximum possible profit.

In more common cases, the amount is only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yen.

Because many authors' books seem to have decent editing, but when it comes to selling to the general public, they are actually quite poor.

Also, because writing a literary novel takes a long time—some people need several months, and some even need years—it is very time-consuming.

With only this much income, it's safe to say that we're losing money.

Even if you work part-time at a convenience store for a month, you could probably earn 20 to 30 yen.

Furthermore, Shiro is still too young and it's difficult for him to accumulate much literary knowledge, so Aibe Shino doesn't have high expectations for him in this regard.

However, knowing that the program would be filmed and broadcast, she didn't want others to know the title of Shinobu Kaede's novel and criticize it, so she didn't plan to ask any more questions on this topic.

Aibe Shino changed the subject and continued to question Mizuno Maki:

"I remember the high school midterms just ended recently, didn't they?"

"May I ask how your grades are?"

Maki Mizuno said softly:

"Second in the academic year."

Aibe Shino was very surprised and said:

"Wow, your grades are that good?"

"It seems that this young lady is not only beautiful, but also very good at studying."

Normally, Maki Mizuno wouldn't be too embarrassed by such praise, but she seemed a little reserved in front of the camera.

She shook her head slightly, somewhat shyly, and said:

"No, this is nothing special."

Pretending not to know about Shirakaze Kamishiro's grades, Aibe Shino continued to inquire:

"By the way, I remember that Kamishiro-kun said before the show last time that his score was a C."

"Since you're Kamishiro-kun's deskmate, do you know how Kamishiro-kun did on his midterms?"

Maki Mizuno nodded emphatically and said:

"His grades are very good."

"He's even better than me, and he's currently ranked number one in the entire school."

Aibe Shino feigned surprise as he looked at Kamishiro Hakufu:

"Amazing!"

"Last time it was a C grade, but now it's first in the grade?"

"Kamishiro-kun, how did you do that?"

Kamidai Bai Feng smiled:

"If you have no woman in your heart, learn from the God of Nature."

"But the most important thing is that our school's teachers teach very well."

"They are very responsible towards their students. My grades weren't good at first, but after being properly guided by the teachers, my grades started to improve rapidly."

Aibe Shino also knew that when Kamishiro Hakufu said those words, part of it was actually an advertisement for the school.

However, she wasn't too surprised, because the school allowed them to come and interview for free, which meant they wanted Tokyo TV to help them advertise for free.

Moreover, since Kamishiro-kun is so smart, he must know that if he says a few nice words at this time, the school will only give him more and more preferential treatment in the future, so that's why he said that, right?

After all, it only takes a few words to improve one's future, so why not?

Xiangbe Shino smiled and said:

"It seems that Kamishiro-kun's choice not to have a girlfriend has had a very good effect."

"Moreover, judging from what Kamishiro-kun said, it's clear that the private Shujin Academy has a very good teaching staff."

The teachers, including Matsueda Asami and Kubouchi Reiko, were eavesdropping on Kamishiro Hakufu's interview.

When they heard him say that it was because of the good teaching of his teachers, they felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

I just think that Shiro Kaede is really good at talking!

Chitanda Mirai, who had changed seats and was now sitting in front, couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile slightly upon hearing this.

After chatting for a while longer...

The school bell rang slowly.

Aibe Shino stepped back from the spotlight, leaving only the photographer to capture Shiro Kaede's class.

at this time.

The gentle morning light filters through the lush trees, dappling the spacious classroom like stardust, adding a touch of tranquility and beauty to this temple of learning.

The May breeze, carrying the fragrance of flowers and a slightly intoxicating warmth from outside the window, gently blew into the classroom and softly caressed the cheeks of Shiro Kaede, causing her hair to tremble slightly.

At that moment, he was sitting in his seat, listening attentively to the teacher's lecture.

Even the male photographer was stunned after capturing this scene.

He has photographed so many handsome boys, but none of them can compare to this Shinobi Kaede.

The photographer was certain that if this footage of Shiro Kaede diligently attending class were broadcast, it would surely make many girls' hearts flutter.

Because this boy was just too eye-catching.

Even if you don't say or do anything, just sit quietly among a group of students.
