I Won't Be a Loser

"Haven't you considered inviting a long-term and stable assistant? You don't have enough time alone. It would be much better if you had an assistant to help you, right?"

"I have considered it before, but the assistant is too expensive, and I can't afford it for the time being."

Cartoonists can invite an assistant to help them create comics, but ordinary writers simply cannot afford the assistant's expenses, and even many ordinary cartoonists have to pay for it because their works have been cut in half. To be an assistant to other cartoonists to subsidize their own living expenses.

At Nozaki Umetaro's current level, he might be able to invite an assistant, but for himself, he felt that the cost was not worth the gain, so he gave up such an idea.

"It's a separate book now, right? One volume?"

"Well, there is only one volume for now."

Umetaro Nozaki was preparing dinner, while Sage was sitting quietly in his living room, blacking out the part where the 'x' was drawn. In fact, this job does not have any technical content, but part of it requires a little meticulousness. He lowered his head and blacked out quietly.

When Nozaki Umetaro was ready for dinner, the sage put aside the pen in his hand for a while, and sat in the house with Nozaki Umetaro and had a meal.

"Probably there is still a part, and it may last until after 9 o'clock tonight."

"It's okay. On weekdays, I basically don't rest until after 9 o'clock. After I run out of time, I can continue to work."

"Well, thank you."

To Nozaki Umetaro's thanks, Kento just smiled slightly.

Then--

Although Umetaro Nozaki said that it might last until 9 o'clock, in fact, the two of them finished their work until 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. Nozaki Umetaro, who had dark circles under his eyes, couldn't help taking a deep breath.

"It's not just 9 o'clock now, it's already 11 o'clock, and it's close to 12 o'clock."

"Is it that late already?"

Nozaki Umetaro, who was immersed in his work, did not notice that the time passed so quickly. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, he noticed that it was already late at night, and he couldn't help but rubbed his eyes. was rubbed on the face by him.

The sage subconsciously looked down at his hands, and the wrists of his right and left hands became pitch black.

"Your hands are dirty, and your face is stained. I'll go back first. You can only deal with the rest by yourself."

"Well, don't you stay overnight?"

"I'm not used to spending the night at other people's houses. Besides, it's still early. It took me less than half an hour to get home. Let's go first."

Picking up his school uniform jacket and the schoolbag that was placed aside, Sage stood up, looked at Nozaki Umetaro who was still sitting on the ground, said goodbye to him, and then walked towards the door.

"I go first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

Umetaro Nozaki watched the sage leaving, and responded, looking at the empty living room, he silently lowered his head and cleaned up the manga on the table, while the sage who left walked home alone following the street lights at night. on the way.

It took about half an hour to leave Nozaki Umetaro's apartment before Sage returned to the door of his apartment. In the silent night, when he returned to his apartment, after taking a shower and lying on the bed, it was already It's 1 o'clock at night.

"Rest early."

Glancing at the time, the sage closed his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep...

"Sage?"

"Ah, ha—it's the world, what's wrong?"

When he went out, even though he had washed his face, he was still a sleepy sage, looked at the girl in front of him, walked up to her, stretched out his hand, and gently rubbed the hair on top of her head .

"You look very tired. Did you not rest last night?"

He opened his arms smoothly, and embraced the world into his arms. Feeling the girl's soft body and the faint fragrance from her body, the sage felt that he had recovered a little bit.

Suddenly being embraced by the sage, Xiyuan Temple World's cheeks became shy, and he looked at the side face of the sage leaning on his shoulder, and couldn't help being a little fascinated.

"Ah, I slept a bit late yesterday, but I still woke up. After all, I still have to go to school today."

Ears moved slightly, the sage who heard the movement opened his eyes, glanced towards the direction of the stairs, saw the moment when he came down the stairs, and then glanced at the world of Xiyuan Temple in his arms , naturally loosened his arms.

"Good morning, Setsuna."

The Season of Cherry Blossoms: 186. Qualified Boyfriend

Gently pressed the doorbell, the sage stood at the door, waiting for a while, the door in front of him was opened, wearing a dark red dress, with a drunken face, not fully awake yet, the petite tax accountant, half asleep and half awake, watching the person in front of you.

"It's not open yet, what's the matter?"

"Accountant Ohno, isn't that right?"

"it's me."

Wearing a white silk and crimson dress, the petite and lovely tax accountant, who looked like a girl, slowly narrowed his eyes, and carefully observed the boy in front of him with his eyes. When he noticed the handsome face of the boy, A smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.

"A tax discussion?"

"Ah."

"Come in and talk, it might be a little messy inside, just pay attention to yourself."

Pushing the door open casually, the tax accountant named Ono Ashley turned around and walked into the house. As for the sage standing at the door, he knew her character long ago, and silently held the door's handshake. While stepping into the house, he gently closed the door.

As soon as he stepped into the other party's office, there was a pungent strong smell of alcohol pouring into his nostrils, which made the sage frowned slightly, put his hand under the bridge of his nose, and looked at Ashley Ohno opened the window, and then slowly sat down in the office.

While sitting down, he conveniently placed the empty wine jar beside him on the coffee table in front of him.

"Are you still a student?"

After Ohno Ashley opened the window, the flowing air gradually weakened the smell of alcohol in the room. When walking towards the sofa, she casually kicked the wine can aside at her feet, came to the sofa and sat down, alone Gently supporting his chin with his hand, he looked at the boy sitting directly opposite him.

She has been in the industry for many years, and Ashley Ohno has also experienced ups and downs in the industry. There are also some young people in business customers, but this is the first time I have seen such a young boy in front of me.

"So, what kind of business do you want to discuss with me?"

Looking at the face in front of him, which was much younger than in his memory, the sage was also slightly moved. Hearing Ashley Ohno's inquiry, he expressed his intention for coming.

"Some time ago, because I just published a work, I had some income. In this regard, there are tax issues that need to be resolved. After I occasionally learned about Ohno tax accountant, I came to visit and wanted to send me I will entrust Tax Accountant Ohno to help solve my tax problems.”

"Work? Writer?"

She just came out of a large firm, not long after she established her own personal firm, and Ashley Ohno's business has not yet started, and she hasn't come into contact with many writers, especially such a young writer in front of her.

"Hmm~ I'm a little rude. It seems that I have to introduce myself seriously. My name is Ashley Ohno. As you can see, I am a tax accountant of this Ohno firm. It is about royalties. No wrong?"

"Sage Miyamizu, a newcomer writer."

"Please teach me more, Miyamizu-kun~"

"Please advise."

Ashley Ohno looked at the little boy in front of her, smiled, stood up, went to boil hot water, and then sat down again.

"Although it's a tax issue, it's not time for tax refund this year, right?"

"I know, it's just that this matter needs to be dealt with sooner or later, so let's pay a visit to tax accountant Ohno first."

Generally, the time for tax processing is in February of the following year, so under normal circumstances, it is usually in December that people start to think about tax issues. Now it is only June, and the time for tax processing Time, there is still nearly half a year, there is no need to prepare so early.

But the sage just has nothing to do now, and such things cannot be easily forgotten, so he found Ashley Ohno in advance and handed over this matter to the other party, so he himself can save a lot It's time.

"Generally I understand, then, receipts and bills?"

"At my place."

"Then, please keep it safe. When you need to deal with taxes, these can come in handy and can refund you a lot of taxes."

"I see."

Ashley Ohno looked at the boy in front of her, blinked, and was also curious in her heart.

"I don't know where Miyazui-kun learned about my firm?"

"this......"

Walked out of Ono's office, looked back, recalled the acquaintance with Ono Ashley back then, with a smile in his eyes, turned around and left the office.

Standing in front of the window, looking at the back of the boy leaving, Ohno Ashley always felt that the other party seemed to have known her for a long time, and the way she looked at her did not look like someone who met for the first time, but she was indeed with the other party for the first time. When they met, Ono Ashley couldn't help but pay a little attention to this young man.

"There should be very few writers of this age. By the way, the name of his work is called carrying...well, what is carrying?"

Before the wine fully woke up, Ohno Ashley also felt her head ache, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, she closed her eyes, and sighed softly.

"Forget it, anyway, I remember the general name. Go to the bookstore and find out. It's called Gongshui Xianren. Well, I remember the name."

Ashley Ohno, who still had a headache, lay down on the sofa, covered her forehead with one hand, and fell asleep in a drowsy state...

When I got back to the apartment, it was almost noon, and the sage sat in his apartment, not knowing what to do for a while, so he went to Qingpu's house.

The weather is getting hotter, and the sage is only wearing a white shirt. He doesn't like T-shirts very much, and he doesn't like those tight jeans. He prefers looser cropped slacks. I don't like dark colors very much, more of them are beige, or khaki, or light blue.

"Sage?"

Not long after arriving at Qingpu's house, she came to the door and opened the door for the sage. She was wearing a pure white camisole and a light blue long skirt. I was a little surprised.

Early in the morning, the sage told her that she had something to go out today, but she didn't expect to come back so soon.

"Is there something wrong? Has it been dealt with?"

"Well, I went out for a while, and everything has been dealt with. I just got home. I have nothing to do in the afternoon. Would you like to go shopping around together?"

If it was earlier, when he heard the invitation from the sage, Setsuna would naturally happily agree, but at this time, Setsuna showed a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

"I have already made an appointment with Yan Ye and the world in the afternoon."

"Are the three of you together?"

"Ah."

"That afternoon, I won't bother you. I just have some things to do, so let's deal with them together in the afternoon."

"Sages can also come with us."

"Three girls, plus me, will make Gui feel troubled, the three of you will be fine."

Don't bother Setsuna, knowing that she has an appointment in the afternoon, the sage returned to his apartment, thinking that it was almost summer time, when he was thinking about whether he should take a lunch break, he sat at the desk for a while , suddenly looked at his desk, feeling that something was missing.

"Although I have already made a girlfriend, the room still lacks a little detail, and it lacks a little bourgeois sentiment."

Originally, when I told Setsuna that I had something to deal with in the afternoon, it was just an excuse to prevent Setsuna from thinking too much about his mood, but now sitting in the apartment, I really had some ideas.

I have nothing to do, and I added my newly printed royalties to the account. While I have more money, I also think about the issues of "living" and "travel" in my "basic clothing, housing, and transportation".
