Hikigaya Hachiman Will Also Become a Current Charge

"Is the new book going to be released so soon? How are you preparing for the first volume?" Machida Sonoko asked.

"Don't worry about this Yuanzi sister, I have already written the first volume of the new book, look." Hachiman smiled, and took out a stack of A4 papers, on which was the first volume of "The Realm of the Sky" content.

"It's already finished, Hachiman, your code word speed is really amazing."

Hearing that Hachiman said that the first volume of the new book has been completed, Machida Sonoko was a little surprised.

"Let me see."

After taking the stack of A4 papers in his hand, Sonoko Machida began to browse.

As an editor, fast reading is a resident skill. In less than half an hour, Machida Sonoko read all the contents of the first volume.

Putting down the manuscript in her hand, she closed her eyes and savored it carefully, and then opened her eyes again.

"As expected, it's you, Hachiman."

"Thank you, Miss Yuanzi." Hachiman smiled and shook his head.

"What do you think of the first volume of my new book as a whole?"

"Since it was written by you, the quality of the manuscript is absolutely worth mentioning. The world view is grand. Although the story in the first volume is a bit dark, the plot of the story is compact and quite fascinating." Sonoko Machida praised, and then stood up Come.

"In that case, let's sign the contract."

It seems that compared with the ending of "Fights Break Sphere", Sonoko Machida still pays more attention to Yawata's new book. After all, the old book has entered the final stage, and it just needs to be finished normally, and there will be no major problems.

Moreover, she has just read the first volume of the new book, and the quality of the opening chapter is high. I believe that with Hachiman's level, the following stories will not be too bad, so as long as the publicity is proper, the sales volume of tens of millions is not a big problem.

But at this moment, Hachiman said: "Wait a minute, Sister Yuanzi, I have something to talk to you about the new book contract."

Machida Sonoko was a little surprised that he would have objections to the contract.

One must know that Kadokawa's current contract standard for Yawata is already comparable to that of an old thief playing mahjong, and it is the highest standard in the industry.

"Hachita, but the draft fee standard of your contract is already the highest in the industry, if you increase it..." Machida Sonoko also reminded cryptically.

However, Hachiman continued to shake his head, "Sister Yuanzi, you misunderstood, what I want to talk about is not the standard of the manuscript fee in the contract, but something else."

"others?"

"That's right." Hachiman nodded and said his plan.

"What I want to talk about is this novel, no, it should be this series of novels. I will only hand over the copyright to Kadokawa's novels and comics. I need to keep the other copyrights myself."

"Retain copyright in other aspects?"

Hearing this request, Machida Sonoko was a little puzzled.

You must know that apart from novels and manga, there are only games and peripherals that are profitable. Does Yawata want to develop games?

But she didn't think too much, she paused and said.

"I can't make the decision. I need to ask the editor-in-chief for instructions."

"Then I'll trouble you, Sister Yuanzi, to ask for your help." Hachiman said.

"No problem, Hachiman, wait a moment, I'll ask the editor-in-chief." Machida Sonoko nodded, and walked out of the conference room with the manuscript.

Chief Editor's Office.

After knocking on the door, Sonoko Machida walked in.

Seeing her come in, the middle-aged editor-in-chief asked, "Editor Machida, what's the matter?"

"Editor-in-chief, the great teacher is here today." Machida Sonoko said.

Hearing Hachiman approaching, the middle-aged editor-in-chief raised his head.

"Oh? The big teacher came here unexpectedly. Is he here today for something?"

"He came here today to talk about the end of "Fights Break Sphere" and the reason for opening a new book." Machida Sonoko continued.

"Oh? The new book, is that what you have in your hand?"

Like Machida Sonoko, the middle-aged editor-in-chief also pays more attention to the issue of new books than the completion of old books.

"Yes, this is the first volume of Da Sensei's new book." Machida Sonoko nodded and handed over the manuscript in her hand.

After taking the manuscript in her hand, the middle-aged editor-in-chief quickly scanned it.

Just a click, very quickly, it will be over soon.

"As expected, he is indeed a great teacher, with a grand world view, and the compactness of the story is perfect, quite fascinating."

Putting down the manuscript in his hand, the middle-aged editor-in-chief let out a sigh of relief and said the same judgment as Machida Sonoko.

"This is already fully in line with the publishing standard, is there anything else?"

"Yes, in fact, the teacher asked to make some changes in the contract." Machida Sonoko nodded, and then spoke out Hachiman's request.

"Oh? Are we only allowed to own the copyrights of novels and comics? All other copyrights must be reserved."

Hearing Hachiman's request, the middle-aged editor-in-chief thought about it for a while, and quickly made a decision.

"It's okay, promise him, our Kadokawa's main business is only in novels and comics, as for the game and other copyrights, it's okay to leave it to the teacher."

Although he had some complaints about Hachiman's additional request, the middle-aged editor-in-chief did not refuse, and he would not offend Hachiman for this small request.

After all, with Hachiman's current status as the [King of Light Novels], other libraries are rushing to get them. If this request makes him unhappy and runs to other libraries, it will not be worth the loss.

"Okay, then I'll go back and tell the big teacher."

Seeing that the editor-in-chief agreed, Sonoko Machida nodded, then turned and left the editor-in-chief's office.

Soon, Machida Sonoko returned to the meeting room, still holding the revised contract in her hand.

"Okay, Hachiman, the editor-in-chief has agreed, let's sign the contract."

After taking the contract in her hand, Hachiman looked at the specific terms and then nodded.

"Okay, let's sign the contract."

As he spoke, he signed his name in the signature column.

Seeing that he had signed the contract, Sonoko Machida breathed a sigh of relief, and handed one of them back to Hachiman.

Holding the signed contract in hand, Hachiman also breathed a sigh of relief.

The copyright of the game has been obtained, so it can be regarded as the first step of the plan.

Putting away the other contract, Sonoko Machida laughed, "Okay, then that's fine, by the way, it's time now, do you want to have a meal together at noon?"

"Okay." Hachiman nodded, but did not refuse.

After some waiting, it was already eleven o'clock, which happened to be lunch time.

Chapter 398: Servant Angel and Adventurer Demon

After a lunch at Machida Yuanko, Hachiman also left contentedly.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Chiba.

After getting off the tram, Hachiman walked towards home.

On the way home, I happened to pass by the [Angel] cafe owned by the mustache store manager.

After thinking about it, Hachiman decided to go in and have a cup of coffee before leaving. Anyway, he didn't have anything important to do when he got home.

Pushing the door open and entering the room, a decadent and familiar voice came from next to my ear.

"Welcome... what, it's Hachiman."

Looking up, I saw a petite figure in a waiter's uniform standing not far away.

Some messy long blond hair, and a somewhat lazy expression on his face.

It was Gabriel.

Seeing this lazy angel wearing a waiter's uniform, Hachiman was a little curious.

"Xiaojia, are you... working part-time?"

"Yeah, can't you tell, I work as a waiter in this coffee shop." Gabriel said lazily.

"But how did you come up with the idea of ​​working?"

Hachiman was a little puzzled. You must know that this lazy angel can sit and never stand, and can lie and never sit. Moreover, he is a severe Internet addict, so how could he come out to work.

"I don't have any money. There are still so many games to pay for. Of course I have to go out and work." When the money was mentioned, this lazy angel showed an unhappy expression.

The living expenses issued by Tianjie every month are only a little bit, and they will be increased and deducted according to their usual performance.

Ever since Gabriel became obsessed with games, she hasn't done any good deeds for a long time, so the living expenses given to her by the heavens have also dropped again and again.

So in order to earn krypton gold, this lazy angel had to come out to work.

Hearing her words, Hachiman twitched the corners of his mouth.

It seems that there is such a plot in the original book, this lazy angel came out to work because of lack of money.

Thinking of this, Hachiman sighed, "If you have no money, you can borrow it from me, it's not that I won't give it to you."

He had such a plan before, in order to build a good relationship with Gabriel, he would lend her money or something.

But what surprised Hachiman was that this lazy angel never asked him to take the money.

Sure enough, after hearing Hachiman's words, although Gabriel was a little moved, she still shook her head.

"Forget it, it's a good way to ask you to borrow money, but I don't have the money to pay it back, so I'd better work by myself."

Although being addicted to games has become depraved, Gabriel was also number one at the Angel Academy back then, and it is still impossible to do such a thing as borrowing money and not repaying it.

Well, if the borrower is that idiot Satania, that's a different story.

But unfortunately, Satania also has no money.

Unlike Gabriel, a lazy angel whose money was deducted, Satania's living expenses were increased a lot because of various "pranks".

However, Satania still has no money. Although she is not silent about krypton gold games, this idiot devil is indeed a handcutter, addicted to a TV shopping in the devil world, buying and buying like crazy.

And the props bought are often fake.
