12 CHAPTER 11

[Ironies of life].

Looking at Shouko, who was walking towards her with her bag in hand, Nino blushed and unconsciously began to smooth her hair that had gotten a bit messy from running just now.

She didn't expect that the person who helped her get the bag back from her was a super handsome guy.

From Nakano nino's point of view, the one who sent the thief was a person, tall, strong and beautiful, and her mind felt like a man.

Seeing Shouko made Nino's heart beat faster.

As she got closer and closer to him, Nakano Nino's heart beat faster and faster.

Although she couldn't see the boy's full face, she could tell just from his exposed eyes that his true appearance was definitely not far away.

As a Qualified Appearance Association, Nino is quite confident in this regard.

So how can I thank this guy later?

I invite you to eat?

Thinking about it, Nino's face turned red again.

-This is yours?.

Just as she was thinking wildly, Shouko walked up to her and handed over her bag.

"Thank you..".

Nino raised his head, reached out to take the bag from him, and thanked him.

He then planned to use this opportunity to have a few more words with her and to make an invitation to go to the cafe for a drink in the name of thanking her.

But before she could say anything, her attention was drawn to her beautiful eyes.

[Nakano nino, what an irony, so the quintuplets are here too… well one plus one less, they are not something that can affect my life].

-No problem.

Responding normally, Shouko kept walking forward, paying no attention to talking to Nino.

"That...".

When she was gone, Nino came to his senses and quickly stopped him.

"W-wait, do you have time to wait? As thanks for helping me get my bag back, I want to treat you to lunch." Nino blushed and asked quietly.

-.....Nope.

Shouko just looked at her strangely, since for her, just a thank you was enough, since she is a simple stranger.

She was rejected!...

Maybe you have something important to do later?

Nino silently found a suitable excuse for Shouko in her heart.

"C-can we exchange email addresses then..."

She did not give up, but instead continued to launch the offensive.

-Hey, thanks, I'm fine, it's not a big deal.

"Please!".

Nino bowed sharply, but his blush was getting bigger.

He attracted the attention of the people around him and make a lot of people whisper.

Shouko remained calm, but inside she was getting desperate little by little.

Since he is fed up with the public gaze, if he drew attention with her beauty and it was no small thing, with this, it seemed as if people were gathering around her.

Nino was still waiting for Shouko's answer without raising her head.

Shouko's patience was at a premium, so he did what he had to do to calm this down.

.

.

.

He left without saying anything and he didn't even care about Nakano nino.

Nakano with the seconds that passed, felt the great silence, so he raised his head.

But when he looked up, he found that she was far away and he noticed that she was about to lose sight of him.

Nakano felt sad that the handsome boy had just left and wondered if she was too rude.

Was she too desperate? What does he have, he just wanted to thank you?

Nakano nino's pride was hurt and she had mixed feelings, on the one hand she was happy to get her bag back and meet the cute boy, she was also sad that he rejected her in her attempt to get close to him and angry because... ...why not I accept it.

The next time she sees you, won't you run away again?

Nakano nino with clenched fists and an angry pout, exclaimed those words, she is not one to give up easily.

Nino looked at the thief who was still lying on the ground and couldn't get up, so he quickly left the place of good and evil.

//Later night came, and in the Nakano family's apartment//

"I am back".

Nakano nino opened the door and put on her slippers as she hummed a song.

Kid, what's up? Did something good happen outside?

Ichika, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the girl with a face full of emotions and asked curiously.

"How can I put it? It's not a good thing, but at the same time it's a great thing."

Nino sat on the sofa across from Ichika with uncontrollable emotions on her face.

Tell me the story.

Ichika was interested, sitting up straight, intending to listen carefully to what happened to her sister.

"I may have met my legitimate true love."

Nino after thinking for a while, replied.

Hearing the answer, Ichika's first reaction was to suspect that Nino was joking with herself.

It's a joke, right?

"Of course it's true, do I have to lie to you about that kind of thing?"—Nino's tone was quite firm.

"It is my true destiny."

"You really don't need to lie to me."

After looking at Nino and making sure that he didn't seem to be lying, Ichika continued to ask, So how did you find your true destiny?

"Cough cough."

Nino coughed twice and then told her that he stole her and then a super cute guy showed up to rescue him.

Nino especially pointed out that the boy who helped him was a super handsome boy.

"It's like something that happens on a TV show."

Nino made an assessment.

"But this isn't a television series, it's reality" —Nino covered his face with his hands and his eyebrows filled with smiles.

"This shows that he and I are destined to meet!

This has nothing to do with fate, right? Maybe he just kindly helped you." Ichika twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at Nino.

Falling in love at first sight with the boy you met for the first time sounds very strange.

He didn't want to see Nino being cheated on by a strange boy.

"Anyway, he and I are destined"—Nino said confidently.

"If not, how could he show up there and help me get my bag back?"

It seems that the boy is extremely handsome, otherwise Nino would not have reacted this way.

Ichika made an assessment in his heart.

It's okay, you just think it's fate—Ichika sighed.

But still, you don't even know his name?

If you say I turned you down when you asked me for his email to thank him.

"Okay, yeah."

Ichika cracked a smile at this.

So what are you going to do, look for him all over the city.

"I know that fate will find us again, since we are destined, I am very sure."

Ok little sister, continue with your dreams of love at first sight and crazy destinations.

Now... could you paint my nails, the ones I have are worn.

Nino just looked at her and went to her room ignoring her.

Wow, how bad.

// Time after //

Kadokawa Library.

Immediately after the meeting ended, Machida furrowed his brows in pain.

"Sales of novels by current authors are not very good during this time, it looks like new authors will be discovered."

Looking at the report with gloomy forefinger in hand, Machida had a headache.

"By the way, what about komi girl novels?" At this time, she thought of the magnificent data of the first day of sales of Komi's novels and quickly checked a lot of information.

"I found it!".

"There are so many!" Looking at the numbers on the report, Machida suddenly widened his eyes.

"In just ten days, 8,000 copies were sold?"

You know that this is still in the absence of large-scale advertising. If you get large-scale advertising, doesn't that mean the number of sales can at least double?

Thinking of this, Machida did not hesitate at all. She picked up the sales report and walked over to the editor-in-chief's office. Since this book has the potential to catch fire, it is necessary for her to help Komi-san as an editor!

// Office of the Editor-in-Chief //

Seeing the sales report delivered by Machida, the middle-aged editor-in-chief made up his mind.

Seeing the sales report delivered by Machida, the middle-aged editor-in-chief made up his mind.

"Very well, since this book has the qualifications to be a best seller, then our library should increase its support. This is not only beneficial for the author, but also for our library. Immediately arrange for publicity and printing."

Machida nodded seriously, "No problem, I'll fix it right away!"

After leaving the office, Machida happily informed Yawata of the great news without hesitation!

Meanwhile with Shouko.

*Buzz*.

At 4:30 in the afternoon Shouko was sitting on a bed and his phone suddenly vibrated.

[Hears? , Editorial Machida?].

-Moshi-Moshi.

"Master, I have good news for you."—Editor Machida's happy laugh came over the phone.

-Good news, what good news?

Shouko wasn't aware of anything, also because she didn't need her personal account, because for now she didn't catch his attention.

"Of course it's your novel, don't you pay attention to your blog?"

-Blog?.

Shouko minimized the screen call and entered his personal blog.

And he was very surprised, he already had about 7 thousand followers and there were tens of thousands of comments.

Many talked about how great Kimetsu no Yaiba was, this large number of comments is enough to prove the popularity.

[My novel became popular...what a relief].

-It is a lot of people.

Hearing his words, Machida suddenly laughed.

"It's because of your novel, master, it is indeed a good novel! At least it has been recognized by the readers!"

"You should know that in the past 10 days, Master, your novel has sold 8,000 copies, which can be said to be quite popular, so the Editor-in-Chief has decided to increase the promotion and printing of your novel. Congratulations, Komi-san, now you too will soon become a famous light novelist.

"If you calculate it at 800 yen for a novel, you can get 12% of yawata's royalties, and you can earn almost 800,000 yen for 8,000 books, which is much more than my monthly salary."

"Ohh, but it's just Japanese yen, not US dollars," Shouko whispered.

He is still far from living comfortably and luxuriously, without worrying about money.

[But even if it is useful to me, to buy an apartment, adaptable for me, that raises more money and in a short time I will leave my parents' house].

Shouko is not that she hated living with her parents, just that she loves privacy much more, so the first thing she will spend a lot on is an apartment and she must have the budget, so she can easily afford it for a year. , he is not stupid and he buys it only has the exact amount only from the apartment.

So with this money the first thing I would buy with less expense would be a gaming PC it's also annoying all the time on my cell phone typing and using up your battery and stuff other than with a modern computer you'll have a lot more room to do things, as well as create more things to earn money.

There are videos that I can make famous on social networks, there are songs that I know can be a jewel here and above all the world of games, although there are good games here, but there are no classics of those that last. during years.

So the first thing I would have to learn to program was to study some basic concepts, but programming on a cell phone cannot be compared to a computer.

Hearing Shouko's whisper, Machida on the other end of the phone couldn't help but roll her eyes beautifully.

"You really dare to think that, but if you can write at the current level, it is not impossible to change to dollars."

-And I will continue to do so, editor machida.

"Trust me, you can do it, by the way, now you can start writing the second volume, don't delay the draft." After thinking about it, Machida still remembered.

"Don't worry, I have finished the second volume and now I have started writing the third volume."

"What, so fast? So fast."
