Before Kira Yoshikage could reply, a surprised female voice came from the corner of the cafe:

"Ah, 17-year-old teacher, this way!"

Kira Yoshikage looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw an urban woman with short, neat brown hair standing up from her seat and waving at him.

She was wearing a slim-fitting OL outfit. The white shirt set off her fair and tender skin, the black hip skirt perfectly outlined her curvy figure, and the stiletto heels made her already tall figure look even more graceful.

"Miss Kagurazaka."

Kira Yoshikage sat down opposite her and nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Eh~ Is the reaction so cold?"

Kagurazaka Ayame dragged out the last word, with a playful expression, "17-year-old teacher, aren't you going to ask me why we chose to meet here?"

Kira Yoshikage cooperated and asked:

"why?"

Kagurazaka Ayame hummed twice and said with a smile:

"Haven't you heard of the 17-year-old teacher? There are three things in life that are necessary: ​​coffee, dessert, and a maid.

"Only in a maid cafe can I experience all three of these things at once!"

"Great." Kira Yoshikage said perfunctorily with a smile.

Kirara Yoshikage asked:

"So when do we sign the contract?"

Kagurazaka Ayame was also somewhat puzzled:

"Is the 17-year-old teacher anxious?"

"I go to work at 6 o'clock."

Kira Yoshikage is concise and to the point.

"That's it~"

Kagurazaka Ayame then remembered that Kira Yoshikage was working at the Okura Tokyo Hotel, but she did not ask why. Instead, she took out a contract from her bag and handed it to Kira Yoshikage. "The specific content of this contract is the same as the electronic file I sent to the 17-year-old teacher. The bank card account number has also been printed out according to the one sent to me by the 17-year-old teacher. You can check it."

Kagurazaka Ayame considerately pointed out the important parts of the contract to Kira Yoshikage, such as the specific proportion of the royalty sharing, and confirmed whether the personal information such as the bank card account number that she helped fill in was correct.

Kirara Yoshikage glanced over the contract, finally stopping at the line about royalties, and asked in confusion:

“Why is the royalty rate 12%?”

"Of course I applied for the 17-year-old teacher. If it was any other editor, they would only give 10% at most~!"

Kagurazaka Ayame patted her plump chest proudly, making it form a wave-like shape.

"Thank you." Kira Yoshikage thanked him softly, sincerely.

If the share was 12%, the online writers next door would definitely curse.

But in Japan's light novel industry, this profit-sharing ratio can be considered conscientious.

因为正常轻小说作者的版税分成也就是8%-14%,此外还有2%的版税要分给插画师。而14%的版税也只有那种有足够资历和成绩的老牌作家才有机会拿到,大部分新人都只能拿最低的8%。

It’s not because the publishing houses are stingy, but mainly because the profits in the traditional publishing industry are low.

Printing costs, logistics costs, publicity costs, labor costs, and the profit of the bookstore that distributes the books is also a cost. So even Kadokawa Bookstore, a well-deserved light novel giant, has a total annual turnover of about 2000 billion yen, but its operating profit is only 80 billion yen, with a profit margin of only 4%.

Kagurazaka Ayame got a 12% royalty share right from the start, which is definitely a generous ratio!

Just like she said, if it were any other editor, they would never give more than 10%.

"There are three places that need signatures."

Kagurazaka Ayame smiled as she handed the bi to Yoshizaki Ryojikage, pointed out the areas that needed signatures, and reminded him, "Just write your name, and I'll fill in the date."

Kira Yoshikage did not hesitate, quickly signed his name, and handed the contract back to Kagurazaka Ayame.

Kagurazaka Ayame took the contract and carefully examined Kira Yoshikage's signature to check if there were any mistakes.

And when her eyes swept over the line about Kira Yoshikage's age, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

He is only 16 years old!

Although strictly speaking, minors need to be accompanied by a guardian when signing a contract.

But she had already learned about Kira Yoshikage's family situation on LINE, so she didn't force it.

Anyway, according to the law, minors over the age of 16 can be regarded as persons with full civil capacity if their main source of income is their own labor. They have the right to enter into contracts in accordance with the principle of freedom of contract. It is not illegal to sign a contract with others. As long as there are no other defects in the effectiveness of the contract, the contract is valid.

Therefore, even if there is no guardian present, this contract is completely reasonable and legal.

But no matter what, Kira Yoshikage is only 16 years old!

Although Kira Yoshikage looks like a delinquent due to his blond hair and tall stature, the contact during this period also made Kagurazaka Ayame convinced that Kira Yoshikage is a good boy - he does not steal, cheat or rob, does not rely on others for support, works part-time to earn tuition and living expenses on his own, and even has good academic performance to get into Shuchiin Academy. If this is not considered a good boy, what is?

"Ah~ thank you for your hard work~!"

Kagurazaka Ayame put the contract back into her bag and asked with a smile, "Teacher 17, you haven't had dinner yet, right? Do you want me to treat you while we still have time?"

"It's not impossible."

Kira Yoshikage was about to stand up and say goodbye, but upon hearing this, he sat back down.

It wasn’t because Kagurazaka Ayame offered to treat them, but mainly because he wasn’t in such a hurry to go back to work.

It's only a little after four o'clock, it won't be too late to have a meal before leaving.

"Ah, Minalinsky-chan, just right."

Kagurazaka Ayame greeted the beautiful maid passing by very familiarly, "Give me two times the coffee, two cakes, and two omelette rice~!"

The girl with long light grey hair tied in a half ponytail had a sweet smile on her face:

"Okay~ Master, please wait a moment~!"

"Hey, my Sojira-kun, isn't Minalinsky-chan pretty?"

Kagurazaka Ayame teased the boy opposite her in a playful tone. She thought this would make the young boy blush, but Kira Yoshikage nodded very frankly:

“Very beautiful.”

The face and hands are very beautiful.

Chapter 76 You call this Level 1?

Shuchiin Academy, indoor activity room.

Mai Sakurajima, who was sitting by the window, raised her head and looked at the full moon above her head. She couldn't help but ask:

"Yukinoshita-san, how long are we going to wait here? You don't want us to exorcise evil spirits in the school, do you?"

"I don't advise you to do this."

Yukinoshita Yukino was still leisurely drinking her tea, her tone was cool:

"There is only one 'spirit' in the school, and that is the god you serve."

"God?"

The five Nakano sisters knew nothing about Geng Xizi's affairs and looked a little surprised.

Nakano Satsuki asked curiously:

"Is Sakurajima-san a miko?"

Sakurajima Mai nodded slightly and continued to ask:

"Then she..."

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to know what she was going to ask and answered in advance:

"She's at least level 1."

"Because of the field?"

"Yes, not all level 1s can deploy domains, but those who have domains are at least level 1, or even special level."

"how about you?"

Mai Sakurajima's words caught Yukinoshita Yukino off guard, and after a brief moment of surprise, the five Nakano sisters all turned their eyes to the girl with long black hair who was like an iceberg and exuded a temperament that kept people at a distance.

Although it's a bit rude, they are really curious!

After all, Yukinoshita Yukino is their "teacher", what kind of strength is she?

Yukinoshita Yukino did not avoid the question and tilted her head and said:

"I should barely be considered level 1, right?"

Nakano Miku shifted her gaze from her phone to Yukinoshita Yukino:

"What level were those evil spirits we encountered before?"

"The Slender Man is level 4, level 3 at most. As for the two evil spirits that May and Nino encountered, both the mirror and the pool of blood in the bathtub can be regarded as simple domains. Therefore, they are at least level 1."

"That's level 4?"

Nakano Satsuki's face was filled with horror. You call that kind of monster a level 4?

Nakano Nino stood up suddenly, her tone somewhat incredulous:

"Didn't you say that the one Kasumigaoka Utaha has is only level 4?"

Yukinoshita Yukino still drank her tea elegantly:

"I didn't lie to you. Although there is a big difference in size, they are indeed both level 4."

"That's because the lowest level is 4!"

"Yes."

Yukinoshita Yukino's honesty made Nakano Satsuki want to cry, why don't you refute it!

Yukinoshita Yukino ignored the resentful gazes of the five Nakano sisters and said in a cold voice:

"Don't use the logic of the real world to understand psychic power, and don't judge the strength of evil spirits by their size, otherwise you will die sooner or later. In addition, our people are here to pick us up."

Mai Sakurajima looked out the window. The classroom they were in was facing the school gate.

A black MPV had stopped at the school gate at some point.

Before anyone else had a chance to react, Yukinoshita Yukino had already left the classroom, leaving behind only these cold words:

"I won't force you, but those who haven't done the minimum have no right to envy talented people. Those who can't succeed are those who can't imagine how much effort successful people have put in, and that's why they can't succeed!"

Nakano Satsuki spoke nervously:

"Do we really want to follow?"

Nakano Miku held the phone tightly and walked towards the door with a determined look.

Nakano Ichika seemed to have made up her mind and comforted him softly:

"It's okay, Mayu. Miku and I can go. There's no need to take risks together."

As long as they successfully master psychic powers, perhaps they can teach others in a safer way.

"no!"

Nakano Nino said stubbornly, "I want to go too! I don't want to have to wait for death in despair the next time I face an evil spirit!"

Nakano Satsuki whispered:

"We can't always count on Kira-kun to save us, right?"

-----------------

When the five Nakano sisters arrived at the school gate, Yukinoshita Yukino had been waiting for a long time. The girl's eyes were penetrating but without a trace of emotion. She did not praise their courage nor ridicule their hesitation and fear. She just spoke lightly:

"Get in the car."

Only then did they turn their attention to the black MPV. Yukinoshita Yukino sat in the passenger seat without hesitation, while Sakurajima Mai and Nakano Miku grabbed the middle seat, leaving the other four to squeeze into the back row.

But fortunately, they are all slim, so even if four of them sit together, it won't feel crowded.

Yukinoshita Yukino calmly ordered:

"Let's drive."

On the right side of the driver's seat was a woman in a suit, with long, smooth black hair combed into a very neat hairstyle. But for some reason, she had a hair on her head.
