Chapter 86: Naoki-san actually became a writer?

Earlier, the Nakamori family in Kiyose Town also received a piece of mail when they were getting the newspaper.

A slightly thick envelope, signed for Nakamori Akina and Nakamori Akiho.

"Akina, Akiho, there is mail for you~" Nakamori Akio said to the two who were washing up after getting it, and put it on the living room table by the way.

"Is it our letter?" The two little ones ran over and opened it happily.

"It's two books~" Nakamori Akiho took the book out, and a postcard fell out.

Nakamori Akina picked it up, and it wrote:

"Akina-san, Akiho-san, I recently published a novel, please appreciate it! Naoki Nagayama~"

"Naoki-san published a novel!" X2

Nakamori Akina and the two hurriedly opened the novel.

"Naoki-san actually became a writer? 'Summer Garden', is it written about this summer? It's really amazing~"

"This is incredible!" Nakamori Akio, who was reading the newspaper on the side, also heard, "That young man actually has such talent..."

Chieko saw that the two started reading at the dinner table and was a bit angry: "Akina, Akiho, don't read things while eating!"

"Hai!" The two stuffed the novel into their schoolbags. They still had to go to school.

Nakamori Akio on the side silently put down the newspaper in his hand...

The literary circle didn't have any reaction because of a newcomer's novel.

Every year, countless new authors jump out, but after the first batch is released, there is no improvement.

Not to mention reprinting, even if the first batch can be sold out, the publisher has to thank God.

Even if the first book's sales are okay, there are very few people who can persist and become professional writers.

This author named Teiju might just be one of the millions of failed ones.

Only the editor of "Summer Garden", Kuniharu Morikawa, had great confidence in this book and actively submitted it for the Japanese Children's Literature Association Newcomer Award and the Children's Literature Newcomer Award.

At this time, Naoki Nagayama had already thrown the novel aside and put his mind into the renovation of the new house.

Yes, the two-story small building in Chiyoda had been transferred. Naoki Nagayama planned to renovate it according to the Nordic style he liked more. Of course, it still had to be combined with the Japanese style of the courtyard.

For such a difficult job, Naoki Nagayama found Takashi Honma, who had cooperated before, to help.

"Takashi-san, I have such an idea for the new house. Do you think where it is still unclear?" After Naoki Nagayama brought the designer to the two-story small building in Chiyoda, he explained in detail the style and budget he liked, especially that a piano room with good sound insulation should be made on the second floor.

"Naoki-san, the difficulty of combining the two styles is a bit high, and if you want to retain the solid wood floor and the corridor courtyard, hiss... you need to design it carefully."

Takashi Honma's notebook was full of key points. This kind of private customization business didn't happen often, but every time it was a challenge.

Giving the house key to Takashi Honma to facilitate the design preparation such as measurement and drawing, Naoki Nagayama agreed with him to produce the design drawing at the end of September and strive to complete the renovation by the end of October.

There were also two shop signings. Keiko Fujita was really capable and quickly contacted suitable tenants. The rent for the shop in Akihabara was 500,000 yen per month, and the shop in Shibuya could actually reach 1 million, almost double the difference.

After sighing at the comfortable life of a landlord, Naoki Nagayama suppressed the idea of investing in land again. Let's wait first. Isn't it good to be a landlord? Let's not be a mortgage slave for the time being.

"Naoki-san! Good evening~" The voice from the other end of the phone was still full of energy.

"This voice, it's Akina-san!" Naoki Nagayama was also very happy. It seemed that he hadn't heard Akina's energetic voice for a long time.

"Hai, it is Nakamori Akina who is full of energy~ Hahaha" Saying this, she pretended to be a child's voice and couldn't help laughing herself...

"Haha, is Akina-san going to tell me a comedy routine?"

"Not at all~" The little girl who restored her original face, "Naoki-san's novel was received yesterday. I specially came to inform you~"

"Oh? Have you read it? How do you feel?" Naoki Nagayama asked curiously.

"I've already read it. As for the content, Akiho-chan was crying in the afternoon~"

Then I heard the noisy female voice on the other side of the microphone, mixed with words like "What are you talking about~", "Didn't you cry too~", "Talk properly".

After a while, the microphone finally quieted down.

"Sumimasen, Naoki-san, a cockroach just disturbed! It's fine now~"

Hehe...

"Hai, so the novel is okay, right~" Naoki Nagayama decisively ignored the previous sentence.

"Yes, yes, Naoki-san suddenly became a writer, which shocked us!"

"It's just a coincidence~"

"I feel that the stories in Naoki-san's novel are very real. Is it a real experience? Which one of the protagonists is Naoki-san? Cucumber-kun?"

"Ano, it's not based on me... and why am I Cucumber-kun..."

"Eh, isn't it... because Naoki-san is tall and thin~" I didn't expect Akina to have so many questions, "Then the old grandfather living in the old house and the courtyard full of cosmos are not real?"

"This, I can't say it's fake..." There was indeed an old grandfather living in the old house downstairs, and the courtyard was indeed tricked by Naoki Nagayama to plant cosmos. When I looked at it before, a neat little piece had already grown.

"That courtyard and the old grandfather are actually downstairs in my house."

"Eh? Really? Are the three children also real?"

"Those are three elementary school students nearby. I happened to see them during the summer vacation..."

"Eh!!! The characters in the story! I really want to see them~" Nakamori Akina longed, then took the microphone away, as if saying to the side, "Akiho-chan, did you hear that? The characters in the story are all real~"

Naoki Nagayama heard this statement: "Although it may break your imagination, a novel is a novel, it's made up. The plot and so on are completely different from reality~"

"Eh~~ It feels very real..." Akiho's voice came from next to Akina: "Aho, the novel era is different~"

It was another fight...

"Akina-san? Akiho-san?" Naoki Nagayama had to speak to call the two back.

"Hai, Sumimasen~ It's all Akiho-chan's fault!" Akina finally returned, "Naoki-san, can I go see that courtyard in the future?"

"Of course you can, but the cosmos hasn't bloomed yet."

"Aleh, when will it bloom?"

"It will take about October~"

"Is that so? It's only about two weeks. Can Naoki-san take us to see it then?"

"No problem, I can treat you to dinner then~"

"Hai, Arigato, then it's settled~"

"Hmm, it's settled!" ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
