Chapter 845

If that's the case, he won't have to work hard every day, and will have more free time.

In this way, he seems to have no reason not to find a girlfriend.

With Natsume-brother's popularity, after this news spreads, the girls around him will probably be more than before.

Confessions will definitely be endless...

Thinking of this, Kaga Reisa's originally shy and weak small face instantly became terrified and uneasy, her voice trembling slightly:

"Natsume-brother... is... is this true?"

Natsume Chikage was somewhat unable to laugh or cry, and complained helplessly:

"What finding a girlfriend, bringing a girlfriend home to be intimate, what are you thinking?"

"Brother just thinks that although the living room is much bigger than before, you need to draw manga, so you definitely need a more professional and larger drawing area."

"You can't just draw on this small table every time, right?"

Natsume Ruri pouted suspiciously:

"Really just like this?"

Natsume Chikage nodded affirmatively:

"Really."

Natsume Ruri hugged her brother's arm and muttered:

"Even so, I don't want it!"

"Ruri thinks it's really satisfying to be able to get out of the three-mat shack, and even brother, you earned so much royalties."

"Although we earned a lot of money now, we still have to save what should be saved."

"Money that doesn't need to be spent, we don't spend!"

"And for the drawing area, at worst, we can just set up a small table in the corner of the room."

"Why spend so much money to specifically change to a set of houses?"

Kaga Reisa also nodded in agreement:

"Yeah, yeah, that's right!"

She thought secretly, as long as Natsume-brother doesn't change houses, she can have more opportunities to contact him.

After all, like this now, even if she comes to spend the night with Ruri and sleeps on the same bed, she can see Natsume-brother on the floor mat not far away.

Once they change to a bigger house, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such an opportunity.

So she absolutely opposes it!

Natsume Chikage couldn't beat these two girls, so he had to give up temporarily.

Thinking that if they don't change, they don't change.

Anyway, his ultimate goal is to buy back the old house.

Now, he is still a lot of money away from that goal.

Living here temporarily is not unacceptable.

After all, as his sister said, this ten-mat house is already much more comfortable than the cramped three-mat shack before.

"Fine, let's live here for now."

Natsume Ruri immediately beamed:

"Yeah."

Kaga Reisa also breathed a sigh of relief completely.

A surge of joy also rose in her heart.

At this time.

Natsume Ruri suddenly remembered something and asked curiously:

"Brother, just heard you talking to the editor, it seems you also talked about a new book?"

"Could it be that your new book is finished?"

Kaga Reisa blinked those shy eyes.

"Speaking of which... I really haven't seen Natsume-brother use his phone to write code these past two nights."

Natsume Chikage nodded with a smile:

"Yes."

"Actually, two days ago, I just finished writing it."

"So after the tournament ended today, I found a time to take the new work to the editor for submission."

Natsume Ruri's eyes brightened:

"Since that's the case, have you already successfully submitted it?"

Kaga Reisa was also curious:

"What did the editor say?"

Natsume Chikage explained:

"The editor said that their publisher only accepts suspense mystery novels, and mine is pure literature, so they don't accept it."

Natsume Ruri said "ah" disappointedly:

"So that's how it is..."

Kaga Reisa encouraged softly:

"Since that's the case, let's submit to other publishers."

"I believe with Natsume-brother's strength... you can definitely submit successfully."

Natsume Chikage laughed:

"Thank you."

"But the Late Night Publisher side doesn't completely not accept it."

"They can also review the manuscript, and then transfer it to the editorial department of their parent company, which is the New English Publisher side."

Natsume Ruri heard this and cheered up again:

"So that's how it is, no wonder brother you and the editor were talking about those things just now."

"In this way, you don't have to run around so troublesomely."

"And with the editor you know endorsing you, I think it will be simpler to pass the manuscript."

Kaga Reisa felt relieved:

"That's really great."

"If Natsume-brother, your novel also passes, I think the income will definitely be higher."

Natsume Chikage laughed:

"Yes."

But he also knew that "Snow Country" was not modern popular literature, but a work with the imprint of the times.

Even if it was excellent enough to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

But the times are different, and readers' tastes are also changing.

In addition, the types of "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "Snow Country" are completely different.

The former is a modern suspense mystery that meets the mass market, and the audience is much wider than "Snow Country," which focuses on literary nature.

Therefore, he could not be sure whether this book could replicate the success of "The Devotion of Suspect X," and everything still needed market testing.

Natsume Ruri couldn't hold back her curiosity:

"Brother, I want to see the novel you wrote!"

Kaga Reisa also echoed softly:

"I... me too."

Natsume Chikage thought for a while and suggested:

"How about I give it to you when the novel is trial printed and I get the trial copy?"

"At that time, the polished version should have a better reading experience, how about it?"

The two girls felt it made sense and nodded together.

"Yeah, yeah, it really needs to be polished, and if you read it then, the reading effect will definitely be better."

"If... if there is paper, it really has more reading texture."
