Are You Born Again?

Hikigu thought for a moment, then patted her on the shoulder.

Ms. Yubihama turned her head and looked at the man's face, she couldn't help but froze, she just felt familiar, and then she was shocked.

"what……"

"Haha..." Hikigu smiled and recalled who this person was.

"Small enterprise police... eh no, classmate?"

"You should still call me Biqigu..."

Earlier, after thinking about it, Ms. Yubihama decided not to let her daughter come, because she felt that my daughter Yuighama Yui was fascinated and would definitely help the other party to speak.

In this case, it is safer to go to the meeting alone.

"... Yui is indeed doted on like this. It is very rare for a daughter to have a good relationship with her mother these days. Most of them despise their parents for being old and stubborn."

Hikigu combined his own experience, if he was in the same situation, his parents would not intervene, and he would not allow the other party to intervene.

As a descendant educated by Sparta, hum!It's not the kind of greenhouse flowers grown in Komachi!

"Hurry up! Are you going to buy a ticket or not?"

A passer-by took his girlfriend on a trip, feeling impatient and accusing him aloud.

"..." Ms. Yubihama was urged by the people behind, and hurriedly started to operate the ticket vending machine.

It was Hikigu's turn to buy a ticket, and he smiled back.

The passer-by's girlfriend was sunk, and I felt that this person was super handsome, and I couldn't help but stare.

At the same time, Mrs. Yubibin's heart skipped a beat, and she said that Xiaoqi is indeed a pretentious type, and the invisible sultry is the most terrifying.

This kind of reason that does not cause physical disgust is entirely because of that super handsome face, which instead makes Ms. Yuigahama vigilant.

The two quickly got into the car.

The train from Chiba to Tokyo is not very congested, and the return journey may be different. From Tokyo to Chiba, it may become a can of sardines.

Hikigaya and Mrs. Yubihama found a random place to sit, and Ms. Yubihama took a deep breath, pointed to the top and asked:

"By the way, Yui said you were writing a novel? Auntie is more curious."

Hikigu thought for a while, this is not talking to a classmate friend, the other party is Yui's mother.

"It's true that I'm writing a novel."

"What's the name?"

At the moment, the top of the train that Ms. Bibin pointed to had a banner advertisement for the promotion of light novels. Hikigu looked at it and found that it was the work of the well-known writer Tianchi Xiaoma, Catalog of Scientific Banned Books.

"Auntie, this is a light novel. Now the industry treats light novels separately from traditional novels." Hikigu corrected this point.

"Then what is this novel about?"

"The Catalog of Scientific Forbidden Techniques is a well-known book in the industry, otherwise there would not be such a large-scale publicity." After seeing Mrs. Yuigahama nodding, Hikiya continued: "Especially the heroine, Mikoto Palette, is very popular. It is a frequent visitor to the character leaderboard."

"What about the income of this kind of writer?" Mrs. Yubihama asked curiously.

Bi Qigu said heartily... As expected, I came to help my daughter look at men, and I found an idea in just three sentences!

Here, you still need to answer carefully. A bowl of water is flat and moderate. It can't be too high, and it can't be looked down upon.

"It's not to say that I'm not flattering, the cumulative sales volume of Mr. Tianchi Xiaoma's books in China is very strong, and the income is also at the top level in the industry." Bi Qigu stretched out his finger, "It's about this amount a year."

Mrs. Yubibin nodded thoughtfully, took out a small notebook in her heart to calculate, and began to give Xiaoqi students an impression point.

This kind of thing is not easy to ask in detail, so Mrs. Hikihama can only rely on guesswork. Hikigaya made a gesture of three, that is 3000 million yen?Tianchi Pony's income is really high, several times that of her husband!

Hikigu looked at Mrs. Yubibin and thought, Tianchi Xiaoma’s royalties are nearly [-] million. They can also write scripts and write various things. There are about [-] million a year. I don’t know what the other party guessed the point.

"Then how do you calculate Bi Qigu's manuscript fee?" Mrs. Yu Bibin babbled, playing tricks.

"Uh..." Bi Qigu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "There are three calculation methods..."

"Which three?" Only this kind of question, Mrs. Yubihama felt that she could break the casserole and ask the end.

"It's like this, Auntie, look at this." Bi Qigu raised three fingers and bent the first one: "C type contract, the writer occupies 5-7% of the royalties, and this type is generally provided to newcomers without any reputation."

"Oh?"

Then, Hikigaya looked at the thoughtful Mrs. Yubihama, and bent the second finger: "B type contract, the writer occupies 7-10% of the royalties, and it is provided for the use of the old author. As for the last type A, When the circulation of the author's series reaches more than 50 copies, the royalty share will become 14-20%, which is very impressive at this point."

While speaking, Hikigaya put his thumb flat in front of Mrs. Yubihama: "Then there is the last one, the one that doesn't speak well, such as Mr. Haruki Murakami, who uses this method."

Before Bi Qigu was reborn, he also used this method.

"What about that?"

Mrs. Yubihama also knows Haruki Murakami, a national treasure writer. Girls like to read youth literature when they are young.

"That is—moving abroad." Hikigu said.

"Aha?"

"Oh, there is one article in Japan's tax laws: as long as you live overseas for more than half a year, you don't have to pay any tax on your domestic income in Japan."

"Ah...this..."

"But because of unspoken rules, if you are not very famous and have a background, you will be rejected by the circle if you do this, and if you are serious, you will be screwed!" Hikigu said lightly.

"Haha, Auntie has changed her view of the writer industry..." Mrs. Yubihama felt that Hikigu had opened a door to a new world for her.

During the chat, the sky train has entered the Tokyo area, and Hikigaya and Mrs. Yuigahama were exchanging greetings, but his cell phone rang suddenly.

"Sorry." He stopped talking, looked at the caller ID, and couldn't help being moved.

Arakawa sent a line with his work master number, and the content was: "Notify Kadokawa's author Hikiya Hachiman to change the content of the contract. Please call back as soon as you see this message."

"PS - the printing process is very tight, please call back as soon as possible."

Not long after, Hikigu received another line from the editor-in-chief of Ryuji Temple, and the other party sent an exclamation.

"Mr. Bi Qigu, your book title is too cheap! After our investigation, we found that many people did not read this book, and because people around them were discussing it, they had to buy it. Otherwise, this group of people would not be getting along with friends. It will be very embarrassing when you read it. The little knowledge about arms in it touches the pain points of men, and besides that, the appropriate content of sex and love makes the male compatriots want to stop!"

Bi Qigu had serious doubts. The two had just finished a meeting and decided to change the contract, so they happily sent him a line together.

But... Well, everyone likes the content of H very much!

However, it should be quite common for Japanese traditional writers to stuff H content into their books, but Hikigu's description of sex and love is much better than others.

Hikigu thought about it, and besides Arakawa's work account replying to the customary message of [Call when you get off the bus], he also sent an exclamation from Ryuji Temple.

"This is not something to be happy about. It shows that the circle culture in Japan has been closed to a certain extent. Once the content of participation deviates, not only the deviation will weigh the proportion and choose whether to leave the circle. More importantly, according to your Judging from the sentence 'otherwise this group of people will be embarrassed when getting along with friends', these circles may also take the initiative to screen out those who deviate. This is a very scary social phenomenon. It's not a good thing to be stricter..."

Dragon Temple sent a line: "Hey, don't say it out loud, just keep this kind of thing in your heart."

"Hey, it's useless to say it clearly, right? At most, it's just a complaint." Hikigaya replied, turned off the phone screen, and exchanged greetings with Mrs. Yubihama again.

At this moment, Mrs. Yubihama is not very calm. She has just been explained by Hikigu, and she has a little understanding of the manuscript remuneration system.

A book with 10 words is basically 1000 yen, and 20 words is about 2200. The 200 yen in it is the additional cost of printing, and if there is more, it is celebrity tax.

Just now she saw a little text message, the actual income of the other party should be higher than that of her husband!

As the tram moves toward the Tokyo area, more and more passengers are on the train, and the carriage gradually turns into a can of sardines.

Not long after, the tram stops at Shibuya Station.

The two got out of the car.

Shibuya is a very bustling area, and it is also an excellent destination for holiday travel. Young people like it very much, so the two of them almost squeezed out.

Leaving from Shibuya JR, the scene flickered again and turned into a street full of people.

There are no cars in Shibuya Pedestrian Street, and there are a lot of billboards hanging on the commercial buildings on both sides of the road. The most conspicuous one is the poster made by the third season of the Scientific Forbidden Art Catalogue. Flick your fingers in front of you.

"Ah, there are also advertisements for light novels here." Mrs. Yuigahama once again realized that this industry might be very profitable.

"Oh, even the promotional advertisements of first-line artists are not as conspicuous as that!" Mrs. Yubibin looked at a group of paintings of [Lan] in surprise.

"Haha..." Bi Qigu laughed along with him, feeling a serious generation gap, Ma'am, what you said is too small to understand!

The two headed towards their destination.

･････････

···········

There is a relatively famous food street in Shibuya, which is located in the back street area. The rent of stores here is relatively cheap, and it is suitable for industries such as sushi that occupy a large number of customers.

Hikigaya called Arakawa while walking, and after some conversations, the contract was finalized, and the two walked to this street.

What caught my eye was the signboard of the Michelin three-star restaurant Longyin, and there is a branch here.

In fact, Mrs. Yubihama was also looking forward to this meal. She usually bought some clothes, but because of her relationship with her husband and daughter at home, she didn't have much chance to wear them, so today she wore something luxurious.

Not only wearing jewelry, thinking not to embarrass Yui, but also wearing a set of more restrained black clothes.

Hikigu thought, as expected of a housewife, her usually suppressed desire to express herself poured out at this time.

"Hikigaya, I made an appointment for a tea restaurant-style general store. The coffee in it is good. I heard from Yui that you like this very much?" Mrs. Yubihama smiled and took out her wallet, intending to take out the reservation form inside.

However, at this moment, her expression changed.

Oh my god, I have a little change in my wallet, and my appointment slip, but where's my card...?

Hikigu was keenly aware of this, and hurriedly said: "This meal must be treated by me, how can I ask Auntie to pay for it?" He said, and took the reservation form from Mrs. Yubibin.

He expresses himself hard.

"Haha..." Mrs. Yubihama smiled awkwardly. This is her new wallet, and all the cards are in the old bag...

Hikigaya laughed and looked at the reservation form, which said [Tokuma] restaurant.

The two of them took a closer look and found that there was actually a Michelin star hanging here. The whole facade was decorated in black tones, but they didn't know what was going on inside.

But right now!

Bi Qigu's expression was not right - he saw a person.

The man was wearing a black suit, but that face... Hikigaya would never forget it.

Not long ago, the other party was still handcuffing him...it was Kasumigaoka Shiyu's father.

But in fact, what surprised Hikiguya was the people around Uncle Kasumigaoka...

It was...
