Chapter 66 Sumire, My Cat Can Do Backflips!
Chapter 66 Sumire, My Cat Can Do Backflips!
Upon entering the coffee shop, Ruyue Yulu immediately spotted a woman in a suit sitting further inside.
She's a classic black-haired, straight-haired, icy beauty—the kind you'll never forget at first glance.
She wore a bodycon skirt, her slender and long legs were wrapped in black stockings, and she wore high heels.
A stylish necklace adorned her fair neck, which, combined with her cool and aloof demeanor, made her irresistibly attractive.
Clearly, this is a beauty who did not appear in the original work.
After all, in this world, every female protagonist has a nickname.
Ruyue Yulu approached her quietly, extended her hand, and said politely:
"Are you Ms. Touma Kazuko? Hello, I'm Futatsume."
"Oh, so you're Ms. February Rain! You're wearing a high school uniform, right?"
Touma Kazuko quickly stood up and shook hands with him, her eyes filled with surprise as she looked at Kisaragi Amuro.
"I am Kazuko Touma, an editor at Shinazugawa Bunko Publishing. May I ask what your real name is, Ms. Futatsumi?"
"My name is Kisaragi Amuro, and I am currently a second-year high school student at Nishiki Tsutsugu Academy. Touma-san, nice to meet you."
"Kisaragi? February, I see. Kisaragi-sensei, please sit down."
Touma Kazuko looked at the handsome young man in front of her with admiration, feeling pleasantly surprised.
She had originally thought that the author of the heart-wrenching romance between a beautiful senior and an arrogant childhood sweetheart would be a gloomy middle-aged man, but she never expected that he would be such a handsome young man.
And he's still a high school student—that's the potential of a genius writer!
Ruyue Yulu sat down opposite her, admiring the beauty before her while waiting for her to speak.
Touma Kazuko composed herself and waved for the waiter to come and serve her.
"Ms. Kisaragi, what would you like to drink?"
"A latte, please."
Kisaragi Yuru casually ordered a cup of coffee.
Only after the shop assistant brought the coffee did she officially begin today's business negotiations.
"Ms. Kisaragi, it's like this, I think your work has great potential."
"On behalf of the company, I would like to formally sign a contract with you. Although I am a new editor with limited resources, I really have high hopes for your work."
"And I imagine you still have a second volume that you haven't taken out yet?"
Seeing Touma Kazuko's sincere expression, Kisaragi Yuru couldn't help but smile and nod.
"That's right, I've almost finished writing the second volume. It's about childhood sweethearts, and there's a twist later on, like lovers ending up as siblings."
Upon hearing this, Touma Kazuko's face immediately darkened.
"Ms. Kisaragi, you've gone too far! Aren't you afraid of getting death threats from your readers?"
"You already wrote a heart-wrenching storyline for the senior in the first volume, it gave me a stomachache, and now you're doing the same thing in the second volume?"
"Haha, let's give it a try first. Only by pulling back and forth can we create movement in the writing, and it can also show that a relationship is hard to come by."
Ruyue Yulu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he had no intention of changing.
"Besides, this will lead to the third volume. To tell you the truth, Ms. Touma, my ideal ending is a happy ending."
"After all, I can't stand tragedies."
Touma Kazuko's eyes lit up. "So, there's an even more outrageous and shocking plot twist in Volume 3?"
"Sure, Ms. Kisaragi, since you're so confident, let's give it a try!"
"Our company's process is like this: first, we release an announcement and let readers preview it online. After accumulating a certain amount of popularity, we then print and publish it."
"Furthermore, there's a light novel newcomer awards event right now, you can definitely sign up and participate to boost your popularity."
"Of course, I will follow up and take full responsibility for those matters, and I will definitely ensure that your book receives the best possible exposure."
"By the way, here is the contract. Please take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be negotiated."
Kisaragi Amuro quickly glanced at the contract. In fact, she had already had the artificial spirit Yui scan and check it. The conclusion was that no problems were found. As the editor, Touma Kazuko had already used her abilities to give him the best treatment.
"I have no objections, Ms. Touma. It's a pleasure working with you!"
"It's a pleasure working with you."
They shook hands again, and both were satisfied with this discussion.
Next, they discussed the issue of royalties and added each other's personal contact information before Ruyue Yulu left the coffee shop and returned home.
With the contract successfully signed, all that's left is for Touma Kazuko's side to work hard to boost the work's popularity, and he can just sit back and collect the money.
Having initially resolved her future employment issues and avoided becoming a miserable corporate slave, Ruyue Yulu was in a very pleasant mood.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Sumireko Sanshokuin.
"Sumireko, I've already met and talked with the editor. I'm now a full-fledged light novel author."
Sumireko Sanshokuin replied almost instantly.
"Congratulations, Mr. Rain and Dew. I'm waiting for you to receive death threats from your readers."
Ruyue Yulu: "Hehe, I'll sell razor blades to support you then."
Sanshokuin Sumireko: "Oh, really? Just me? What about your sunflower, and the beautiful Akari-senpai?"
Asuka Rain: "It's simple, just make them work to support me."
Sumireko Sanshokuin: "Pah, what a scumbag!"
Asuka Rain: "I was just kidding, Sumire. Seriously though, your boyfriend has made initial progress. What are you going to do to reward him?"
Sumireko Sanshokuin: "Pervert, what reward do you want?"
Ruyue Yulu: "Come to my house this weekend, I'll show you around, and my cat can do backflips, you know! Want to see?"
Sumireko Sanshokuin: "Nonsense, you don't even have a cat!"
Asuka Rain: "How did you know?"
Sumireko Sanshokuin: "It's nothing. It's just that your mother saw me following you before, and Ms. Laurie invited me to your house. I just observed you for a bit."
Asuka Rain: "Wow, so you managed to win over my mom without saying a word? But seriously, I really do have a cat at home that can do backflips, I'm not kidding."
Sumireko Sanshokuin: "I really can't do anything with you. You really wanted to trick me into coming to your house?"
Asmoon Dew: "This is my most sincere invitation, not a deception!"
Sumireko Sanshokuin: "Yes, yes, I'll come over this weekend. Your family should look forward to it!"
There are still a few days until the weekend.
Even the moon and rain are not in a hurry.
After resting for a while and having dinner, he washed up and went to bed.
The next morning.
Ruyue Yulu is sleeping soundly.
I was woken up by my mother, who called me like a laurel tree, and after breakfast, I went out.
As soon as he stepped outside, he found that Hinata Aoi was already waiting at his door.
"Hey, good morning, Sunflower!"
"Good morning, showerhead!"
The girl responded loudly and energetically, her big, watery eyes fixed on him.
Asuka Yuru naturally raised her hand and patted her little head. Seeing the look of enjoyment on her face, she couldn't help but ask:
"Why didn't you come to my room to wake me up this morning? Sunflower, you're not a real childhood friend!"
"Pah! You have the nerve to say that about a weird showerhead!"
Hinata Aoi, her face flushed, glared at him angrily.
"I don't want to go to your room to wake you up, and you'll treat me like you did last time... what am I supposed to do?"
"I wasn't bullying you, I was trying to strengthen our childhood friendship."
As Ruyue Yulu spoke in a serious tone, he raised his hand and put his arm around her slender waist.
Sunflower truly lives up to her reputation as the tennis club's ace; that tiny waist looks amazing to the touch.
"Hey, showerhead, what are you doing?"
Holding her slender waist, Hinata Aoi's cheeks flushed. She stared at the man with some shame, feeling the warmth of his hands.
"Nothing much. Sunflower, have you gained weight recently? Hmm, it seems you haven't."
"Hmph, of course! Even though my breasts haven't grown, I always pay close attention to a balanced diet and exercise regularly to maintain my figure!"
The girl puffed out her chest with a smug look on her face.
Seeing her obedient appearance, Ruyue Yulu lowered her head and kissed her directly.
Hinata Aoi trembled slightly, but instead of refusing, she responded shyly.
In an instant, Ruyue Yulu heard a notification in her ear.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden quest of correcting childhood sweethearts. The quest in this world has been completed ahead of schedule."
Ruyue Yulu's eyes lit up, which meant that from now on, this little girl would be her leading lady!
A wonderful life lies at his feet!
