Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

"I've roughly read the contract, and it's indeed very generous." Watanabe Yu put down the contract in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Kuriyama Akiie, "As for the royalties, how long will it take for them to arrive in my account?"

He admitted that the question he asked was somewhat embarrassing.

But making money is not shameful!

"Generally speaking, it's within three working days after the contract is signed." Kuriyama Akiie met Watanabe Yu's gaze, "But the financial efficiency of Akiba Bookstore is very high, so it can be delivered within two working days."

She has encountered problems like this many times.

This is what happens to many authors when they first sign a contract and receive royalties.

“Where do I need to sign?”

Now that all the doubts have been resolved, Watanabe Yuu doesn't plan to procrastinate any longer. He takes out a pen and personal seal from his pocket.

He stuffed it into his pocket when he was changing into casual clothes at home.

"Teacher Watanabe, you need to sign three contracts in total." Kuriyama Akie stood up, "Can I sit next to you? It will be more convenient for communication."

"can."

Watanabe Yu gave an affirmative answer.

"excuse me."

Kuriyama Akiie nodded slightly, sat next to Watanabe Yu, and then instructed him where to sign and stamp.

When all the contracts were signed, the lights outside the coffee shop had already come on, and the boundless night swallowed up the entire sky of the city.

"Well, I'll leave first. Contact me if you need anything."

"Hai, take care."

After saying goodbye to Akiie Kuriyama at the entrance of the coffee shop, Yu Watanabe set out on his journey home.

Qiuye Bookstore was not far from where he lived, only three kilometers away as the crow flies.

Although the subway would be much faster, he still decided to walk home.

He needs time to digest his current mood before making plans for the next step.

According to the royalties written in the contract, his life will become visibly more affluent from now on.

We no longer have to live a tight life like before, and we no longer need to ask our parents in Okinawa for living expenses.

It’s also easy to move to a nice apartment.

But if you want to buy a property, there is still a long way to go.

So, keep working hard!

Watanabe Yu raised his hand and gently patted his cheek. The pain made him concentrate.

Now, he, the time traveler, has finally taken a milestone step in this parallel world.

Next, he will focus on another project, copying songs.

Compared to novels, music makes money much faster.

Thanks to the online sales model of digital music and the price of a single song of 100 to 200 yen, for the vast majority of people who like to listen to music, they are very happy to pay for their favorite songs.

If you don’t want to buy each song one by one, major music apps have also launched other ways to listen, such as monthly membership and free listening by watching ads.

Without exception, just like the single purchase mentioned above, the singer-songwriter of the song can also get the income.

Before, he suffered from lack of channels and poor singing skills, but now, Naoko Hayakawa has made all the arrangements for him.

Watanabe Yu slowed down his pace, raised his eyes and looked at the crosswalk not far away.

The evening street scene was reflected in his eyes.

In front of the pedestrian crossing not far away, a tired-looking office worker just breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second his cell phone rang. Helpless, he could only take a deep breath, take out his cell phone, put on a smile, and answered the call.

this is life.

Watanabe Yu sighed in his heart, then retracted his gaze and subconsciously quickened his pace.

After passing two or three crossroads and walking from the main road into the residential area, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

The graceful figure walked out from a corner three or four meters away from him.

Hamabe Ryoko was still dressed the same as that day.

A short-sleeved shirt that has been washed to a pale color, simple jeans, and a pair of sneakers.

The only difference was probably the two extra plastic bags in her hands, which looked particularly large compared to her body shape.

From Watanabe Yu's perspective, he could clearly see what was in the translucent plastic bag.

——Those are vegetables and meats with discount labels on them.

[So, you meet at the corner again. Is it the red thread, or fate? Or is it a more romantic destiny?]

[The romance option has been triggered again]

[Ask her 'Would you like to live in my house?']

You've started to ignore the occasion and speak inappropriately again, Brother Tongzi!

Ignoring the mechanical prompt sounding in his ears, Watanabe Yu chose plan C between the two options of staying where he was and waiting for a while, and following someone like a pervert.

He quickened his pace, caught up with the pretty figure, and took the initiative to greet her, "Hamabe-senpai!"

Hearing this, the walking figure paused for a moment, then turned his head with some confusion.

After seeing that the person coming was Watanabe Yu, her cold expression eased a little.

"Watanabe-kun."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded slightly and said hello.

"This is, just finished shopping?"

Watanabe Yu raised his eyebrows and started talking openly.

The two started chatting as they walked.

"Yes."

Hamabe Ryoko nodded, and as she walked into the shadows, she quietly moved her hands that were holding the bag.

This weight was more than she usually twisted, and it hurt her hands a little.

"Shall I get it for you?"

Watanabe Yu noticed her little action and mentioned it.

The old lady was usually very nice to him, so it was only natural for her to lend a hand to her granddaughter at a time like this.

"No, I can do it myself."

Ryoko Hamabe shook her head, and under the street light, her fair little face showed a bit more persistence.

Since she started living with her grandmother, she has never relied on anyone other than her grandmother.

"You can't do anything. Your hands are all red."

Watanabe Yu exposed Hamabe Ryoko's lies without giving her any face.

Under the white light of the street lamp, her red little hands were too conspicuous.

“…I can do it!”

Hamabe Ryoko bit her thin lips, raised her little face, and subconsciously quickened her pace.

"I know you can do it, but I also know that if I saw your hands being strangled like that, it would be painful for grandma."

Watanabe Yu followed Hamabe Ryoko and calmly reminded the latter.

"…I'm used to it."

Hamabe Ryoko turned her head away, and her cold voice became more stubborn.

"..."

Watanabe Yu didn't waste any more words with her. He grabbed her wrist, snatched a bag from her hand and picked it up.

The latter resisted but failed to snatch the thing from him.

"Hamabe-senpai, you don't want grandma to worry about you, do you?"

Seeing that Hamabe Ryoko was still planning to continue snatching, Watanabe Yuu uttered this classic line.

After she finished speaking, Hamabe Ryoko suddenly became quiet.

She didn't respond, just remained silent.

She had no way to refute Watanabe Yu's words.

She knew very well how much her grandmother loved her.

The two fell silent.

After walking in silence for two minutes, she took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Thank you."

Hamabe Ryoko lowered her eyebrows and said thank you in a low voice.

"You're welcome." Watanabe Yu chuckled. That's right, be frank. "But then again, why did you suddenly buy so much?"

It’s best to buy these discounted items for just one or two days at a time.

If you buy too much, yes, the food can be stored in the refrigerator, but it will not be that fresh after all. Besides, buying groceries once every two days is not a high frequency.

"In a few days, I will go to the hospital to take care of my child. I won't have enough time to buy groceries every day." Hamabe Ryoko explained, "So, I thought I would buy more at a time."

"Hospital escort?"

Watanabe Yu grasped the key point keenly.

The old lady's physical condition seemed to be worse than he had imagined.

Before, he just thought that the other party's health was not good and needed recuperation, and at most he could just take some medicine.

Now it seems that he was too optimistic.

"Grandma's health has not been good."

Hamabe Ryoko considered her words and gave a tactful answer.

"So, what does the doctor say?"

Watanabe Yu asked with some concern.

"The doctor..." Hamabe Ryoko was silent for a moment, then she forced a smile, her fair face lost in the darkness that the street lights could not illuminate. "It's not very serious."

There was no need to let Watanabe Yu worry with her.

"That's good."

This time, Watanabe Yu didn't notice the micro-expression on her face.

"Come to think of it, I have an exam tomorrow."

Hamabe Ryoko coughed lightly and took the initiative to change the subject.

Before they knew it, the two had reached the road in the residential area where they lived.

"Yes."

Watanabe Yu nodded and planned to go back and read some more books.

Money is secondary. The main thing is to review the old and learn new things.

He wants to improve so much.

"Have you reviewed?"

Hamabe Ryoko tilted her head and asked this question.
