"Hello." "Hello, are you Teacher Wangyue? I'm Machida Sonoko, an editor from Undead River Publishing." Machida Sonoko was slightly surprised; with such a slightly youthful voice, Teacher Wangyue must still be very young. But he can already write such excellent works.
"Hello, yes, that's me." Mochizuki thought, the work efficiency is good, they called so quickly.
Also, are they still working this late? That's tough!
"It's like this, Teacher Wangyue, first of all, congratulations on winning second place in the newcomer award we held.
Then," "Yes, thank you for the prize money." Machida Sonoko?
"Ah, hehe, you're welcome." "And then I wanted to ask if you are interested in signing a contract with our Undead River Publishing?
If you are interested, we can find a time to discuss it.
I believe our terms here will not disappoint you." "Oh, no problem." Machida Sonoko was surprised by how straightforward he was, but at the same time, she was very satisfied dealing with straightforward people.
"Then let's add each other on Line later, I'll send you the address.
Can you make it tomorrow morning?" "How about the afternoon, around three or four o'clock, I still have classes in the morning." "Classes?" "Could it be that Teacher Wangyue is still a student?" Machida Sonoko was a bit confused, no wonder his voice sounded so young, could he be a high school student?
"May I ask what grade Teacher Wangyue is in?" "First year of high school." Mochizuki answered truthfully, there was nothing to hide about this, after all, they will be partners from now on.
Machida Sonoko was overjoyed, she's found a treasure!
An excellent work, combined with the gimmick of a young high school student, the publicity effect won't be bad!
"Okay.
Then, Mochizuki student, get some rest early, good night." Mochizuki Yo?
You just called me sensei, and you used formal address, you changed your tune when you heard I was a student, right?
"Wait, may I ask when the prize money will be disbursed?" "It will be transferred to your bank card within three days." Machida Sonoko's mouth twitched, feeling that this Teacher Wangyue was a bit greedy for money.
"Okay, thank you.
Machida Editor, good night." After hanging up the phone, Mochida Sonoko's friend request quickly appeared on Line.
Machida Sonoko's profile picture was a real photo of her, with short black hair, wearing a company uniform, looking capable and sharp.
After receiving the address, Mochizuki checked it with navigation.
Fortunately, it wasn't far, about half an hour by train from school.
Because he opened Line, Mochizuki also saw some messages sent by Yamada Elf.
Yōsei-sama: Log on, there's a new event...
Yōsei-sama: Where are you? Hurry (angry) emoji.
The other party invited you to a video call...
The other party invited you to a video call...
The other party invited you to a voice call...
(Idiot) emoji.
Voice message...
Voice message...
Yōsei-sama: Get lost, Mochizuki, are you dead!
Yōsei-sama: I declare that you have lost this young lady! (angry) emoji (goodbye) emoji.
There were as many messages as usual, and the purpose was still to play games as usual.
Mochizuki Yo was used to it, but this time, could he have been deleted?
Mochizuki tried sending a message.
Light Novelist Wang Yue: Yahallo?
The message was sent successfully, and Mochizuki breathed a sigh of relief.
He still didn't want to lose Yamada Elf as a gaming partner.
Yōsei-sama: Idiot, are you mocking me? Go die (emoji) go die (emoji) go die (emoji)...
Light Novelist Wang Yue: No, no, I thought you deleted me.
The angry Elf in the villa shouted sharply.
Fortunately, she lived in a villa area, with few people around, and the sound insulation of the house was very good.
Damn it, so I was too soft-hearted and didn't delete you.
Yōsei-sama: That's what this young lady intended.
Light Novelist Wang Yue: Sorry, sorry! It's all my fault.
Yōsei-sama: It's too late to apologize now! Idiot!
Light Novelist Wang Yue: Log on now?
Yōsei-sama: No, it's late, first explain why you ignored me.
Mochizuki thought, should I say that I put you on do not disturb because you were too noisy? Or that it was better to eat pizza with Shiina?
Light Novelist Wang Yue: My phone didn't ring?
Yamada Elf: ...Angry (emoji).
Light Novelist Wang Yue: Didn't I say I've been very busy recently? I spent the whole day cleaning the house today.
Light Novelist Wang Yue: Also, I'm writing a light novel recently.
Oh?
Writing a novel, hearing this, Yamada Elf became interested.
Yōsei-sama: Oh ho, light novel, really? Just you, mere Mochizuki?
Light Novelist Wang Yue: Hey, don't look down on people! Didn't you see my ID!
Yōsei-sama: Just a fantasy of a failure.
Light Novelist Wang Yue: ...My work might be published soon, just wait and be surprised!
Yamada Elf called directly via video.
"Surprised? That's impossible.
Let me tell you the truth, Stupid Wangyue, this young lady is a novelist with over two million copies sold." Mochizuki sneered, bragging, huh, and so ridiculously!
No one would believe that.
"Hey, that's too fake, you don't even know how to brag, just you, a mere Elf?" Yamada Elf laughed proudly, completely ignoring Mochizuki's ridicule.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it, but that's the truth, maybe you're even a fan of this young lady... Hahahahahaha..." "Heh, impossible." "Since that's the case, I'll let you give up, let you know this young lady's identity.
Hahaha...", and then, Yamada Elf, full of momentum, arrogantly shouted, "'Explosive Flame's Dark Elf', the author is me." Mochizuki felt like he had seen this book somewhere before, and quickly opened Google Chrome to search.
Hiss~ Mochizuki took a sharp breath.
It was this one, indeed, it said, written by Yamada Elf.
"Hahaha, have you fallen for this young lady's work!" "Do you want an autograph, Mochizuki-kun~" Yamada Elf's previous anger had completely vanished, this battle, she fought with momentum and style...
"So you're that author with only elementary school level writing?" "What? What did you say?" Yamada Elf was furious, shouldn't you be worshiping me?
How dare you mock me?
Mochizuki also realized he had said the wrong thing, "I didn't say that, your comment section all says that, hahahaha." "Hmph, of course I know that, but aren't those idiots still reading it?
You just need to know that I'm a popular author with over 2 million sales!" Mochizuki was still quite impressed internally, but he couldn't admit defeat verbally, otherwise the Elf would surely fly into the sky.
"Okay, okay, let's play games quickly." "Hey, show some respect for your senior!
Speaking of which, you haven't read this young lady's work, have you...?" "I have." "That's good, hahahaha, it's very good, right!" "I read a few pages, couldn't continue..." Mochizuki replied.
This was the truth, he really didn't finish it.
"Idiot————" Mochizuki even wanted to say: Your comment section is better than your book...
But he didn't dare say that.
