They all think I'm a boss

When he first started writing the novel, Oda Sakunosuke did not have any source of income and could only rely on the financial assistance provided by Toki Fujikawa.

Murderink's salary has always been generous, and Fujikawa Toki is the company's ace killer, so it is not a problem to provide food and clothing for an adult and five children.

But sometimes, Fujikawa would stare at the completely unfamiliar face of Oda Sakunosuke, expressing with some pity that he should have let Silla help him make the appearance of the popular creamy niche, so maybe he can rely on this picture Make some gimmicks with your face, and there may be rich women who will take the initiative to contact him so that he can save decades of struggle.

His original appearance is not bad, plus he is 1.8 meters tall. If he hadn't spent all his money these years on raising those five teenagers, and he didn't have the time or spare money to take care of himself, he wouldn't be where he is now. Still a single parent.

The face Silla gave him was not ugly, but it was very ordinary. It belonged to the kind of appearance that could not be found in the crowd. Coupled with his dyed gray hair, he instantly changed from The important male supporting role has become a humble passerby.

But he himself quite likes his new face.

"Why did you suddenly go back to Tokyo?"

Oda Sakunosuke made himself a cup of coffee, and poured a glass of fruit juice for Fujikawa Toki. He remembered that this person tasted like a child, and he was never used to bitter things like coffee and tea leaves.

"Come back after a long time."

Holding the cup in both hands, Fujikawa sat casually on the chair that Oda Sakunosuke usually used to work, and replied casually.

"I grew up here anyway."

Glancing at the manuscript bound in kraft paper, Fujikawa raised his eyebrows, "Is this the manuscript that your editor made dozens of phone calls to remind you?"

"Tomorrow is the deadline, and he is afraid that I won't be able to hand in the manuscript tomorrow."

Oda Sakunosuke took a sip of coffee. He didn't add sugar to the coffee. The bitter liquid stimulated the peripheral nerves of the brain through the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, slightly easing his drowsiness.

"I'll make curry rice later, do you want to stay for a meal?"

He rolled up his sleeves, which was his habitual action before cooking. When he turned his head to look at Fujikawa sitting at the desk, he asked casually.

"Well, it's been a long time since I ate your curry rice."

Fujikawa nodded, Oda Sakunosuke's other meals were so-so, but the curry rice was really amazing. After Fujikawa went to Yokohama, what he missed most was not Lucia's sushi or the dessert shop downstairs, but Ori The chicken curry made by Tasakunosuke, I don't know how he made such delicious curry rice.

But this person is a curry maniac, he eats curry at least three times a week, even when he woke up in Silla, the first thing he said was not "I'm still alive" but "Is there any curry rice? "

Fujikawa suspected that this guy might have been a curry star in his previous life.

……

"You seem to have lost weight?"

Fujikawa raised his head and looked at him from top to bottom, and found that the man opposite him seemed to be a little thinner than the last time he saw him, not only thinner, but also a lot haggard.

The stubble on his face has not been shaved for a few days, and the area under the eyelid is obviously black and blue, and his hair should not have been taken care of by the barber shop for several months. His current gray hair was dyed in the barber shop Yes, his original hair color was wine red, and the hair that grows out is naturally also wine red, but now his original hair color is almost covering his dyed hair.

"Have it?"

After hearing this sentence, Oda Sakunosuke squeezed his arms and face a few times, and finally concluded solemnly, "It seems to be thinner."

"I've been busy with drafts these days."

He pinched his Jingming acupoint with his hands, and there was a trace of sleepiness in his voice, "I have to get a pair of glasses too. My eyesight seems to have declined a lot recently."

Fujikawa stared at him for a while, then put the empty glass in his hand on the desk, "You are becoming more and more like a novelist."

"I was originally a novelist."

Oda Sakunosuke replied flatly.

"Have you ever thought about living elsewhere?"

Fujikawa changed the subject, "You have been in this place for four years."

"Well, I've been thinking about this too recently."

Oda Sakunosuke nodded, "Sakule and the others have grown up too, and it's not good to be crowded in one room as before. I plan to wait until the manuscript is finished this time to see if there are any suitable houses. .”

The manuscript fees and copyright fees he earned from writing novels over the years are all enough for him to buy a small single-family house in Tokyo, not to mention that the recently popular "Touken Ranbu" was written by him.

A few days ago, he and his editor went to the partner to sign the contract. Just one film copyright has exceeded all the royalties he has earned over the years, not to mention the follow-up animations, radio dramas, stage plays, and musicals. .

In fact, as long as he is willing, it is no problem to buy a villa in the rich area of ​​Tokyo.

It's just that he has been busy with the editor to discuss the copyright with the collaborator recently, and he has to rush the manuscript when he comes back. He has no time to look at the house. In fact, he is going to wait for the final draft of this article in his hand.

Speaking of copyright fees, Oda Sakunosuke remembered one thing.

"After you moved to Yokohama, did you still use the same bank account?"

He had previously agreed with Fujikawa Toki that if he sold the copyright of his novel in the future, half of the copyright fee would be given to him.But when Fujikawa moved to Yokohama later, he didn't know if the other party had changed his bank account, and the money hadn't been sent to him. Originally, he planned to call to ask about it, but he didn't expect Fujikawa to come to him today. up.

"That's not in a hurry."

Fujikawa Toki waved his hand and responded casually.

"Do you think it's hard for you to take care of the food and daily life of the five of them alone?"

Oda Sakunosuke was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Fujikawa suddenly asked this question.

After pondering for a moment, he replied earnestly, "They have grown up now, and they are much more sensible. Many things can be done by themselves without my help."

Saku Le started learning to cook a long time ago, and the boys also made a roster very consciously. For example, today it’s Katsumi’s turn to clean, Shinji’s turn to do the laundry, and Kosuke and Yu’s turn to go shopping. food...

He didn't need to say anything, these children had already arranged everything on their own initiative, and he didn't need to worry about it at all.

So he didn't really work hard at all.

"Is that so..."

Fujikawa rested his chin with one hand, thoughtfully, then raised his head and looked straight at the man across from him.

"Then do you mind five more?"

……

Oda Sakunosuke stood in front of the glass window of the study, looking at the teenagers who were playing with Sakule and the others outside, Fujikawa pointed at some of the teenagers who were obviously restrained and couldn't let go, and compared the incident that happened in Yokohama with the previous incident. He told it briefly.

After he finished speaking, he didn't speak any more, waiting for the reaction of the man beside him.

He also went to the orphanage that Kunikida found for those children. It was indeed a very good orphanage, and the conditions were no worse than the orphanage he had been in back then.

It's just that these teenagers all came out of the slums. The youngest girl named "Sunai" has mild autism. Once she doesn't adapt to the living environment of the orphanage, her autistic symptoms will only be aggravated. .

The reason why he came to Oda Sakunosuke was largely because he was the only one he knew who had experience in raising children.

In addition to this, there is actually another reason.

Oda Sakunosuke is a very gentle person.

Four years ago, when Fujikawa Toki was ordered by Murderink to kill Oda Sakunosuke, he had read his information.

The records about him in the materials are very detailed, and Fujikawa Toki only remembers two points from beginning to end.

"Ex-Trump" and "Ruthless".

Being able to become Murderink's trump card, the strength will definitely not be inferior. At that time, Fujikawa Toki also took this into consideration. In order to ensure the success rate of the mission, he would secretly observe this person's every move, so as to find an opportunity to strike.

But he didn't expect the former ace to be so miserable. After joining the port mafia, he was reduced to going to various stores to collect protection fees in person.

His attitude is not strong enough, so every time he collects protection fees, he is often ridiculed by others, and some people who are impatient will even yell at him or drive him out.

He wasn't angry either, he just calmly explained to them that the collection of protection fees was a contract made between the port mafia and merchants like them, and he was only doing things according to the contract now, and hoped that they would abide by the contract.

After following this man for several days, Fujikawa hardly saw him make a move, so he didn't know how strong this man was.

As for "ruthless", he didn't feel the slightest bit from this man.

How could a ruthless person adopt five orphans who had no blood relationship with him, and how could he break his belief of "not killing people" that he had always insisted on because of their deaths.

So Oda Sakunosuke is a very gentle person.

Because he is very gentle, Fujikawa Toki knew that he would not refuse.

"it is good."

Sure enough, after pondering for a moment, Oda Sakunosuke nodded in agreement.

"However, during this period of time, they may be wronged to squeeze with Xiao Le and the others first."

The house they live in now has only two rooms. The master bedroom is for those children. He usually sleeps in the small second bedroom next door. This study is where he works. Stay up all night here to catch up on manuscripts, and also make do with one night here.

Now there are five more people at once, and his small second bedroom is not enough for five children to sleep, so he can only let them and Saku Le Kosuke and the others squeeze together in the master bedroom for the time being, and come back when he finds a suitable room Rearrange the room.

But in this way, the matter of buying a house has to be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Considering that there are more people, it is necessary to find a house that is bigger than the previous budget.

"It's all about moving."

Fujikawa stared at Sakunosuke Oda for a while, then silently took out a small notebook from his sleeve and handed it to the man opposite.

"How about moving to Yokohama?"

Oda Sakunosuke looked at the words "Real Estate Registration Rights Information" written in bold black font on the small notebook, and suddenly fell silent.
