Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK

Chapter 17: Settling down is a prerequisite for picking up the distressed saint

After coming out of the barber shop, Watanabe Yu took out his cell phone which had been vibrating for a while and took a look at it.

After taking a quick glance at the increasing number of unread messages on the private chat interface, he stopped, stood aside, opened the class group thoughtfully, and traced the source.

Logically speaking, the private chat in his small window, which had just quieted down, wouldn't become lively again so quickly.

Unless someone did something.

His eyes moved slightly downward, and one message after another was reflected in his eyes.

Soon, Watanabe Yu discovered the "culprit" of this incident.

"you……"

Putting away his phone, Watanabe Yu raised his head and looked at Kiriyama Kazuma who had already taken two steps to the side with a helpless smile.

"I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it."

Kiriyama clasped his hands together with a 'pop' sound and honestly chose to apologize.

His thought at that time was that he couldn't be the only one being scolded, everyone in the class had to be scolded!
Otherwise, he would feel very uncomfortable!

Why is it that I am the one who gets hurt every time!
"..."

Hearing this, Watanabe You rolled his eyes helplessly.

Tongshan and Mahua knelt down so quickly that they blocked his next words.

What could he say?

He can't say anything!
You can only play a '6' alone.

"I promise there won't be a next time!"

Kiriyama Hema glanced at Watanabe Yu's helpless expression and immediately added another sentence.

This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small one, and it mainly depends on his attitude of admitting his mistake.

"...Okay, let's go, it's time to go back and eat."

Watanabe Yu waved his hand and took a step forward.

It was a small matter, but in the end, it was nothing.

However, judging from Kiriyama and Ma's snapshot skills, this kid might really be a natural private detective.

"Oh."

Kiriyama and Ma responded and quickly followed Watanabe Yu.

Based on his understanding of the latter, such a "statement" was proof that the matter had already been exposed.

“I’ve actually always been curious about one thing.”

After the two walked for a distance, Kiriyama and Ma couldn't hold back and started talking again.

"uh-huh?"

Watanabe Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the crowded street.

The street scene at that moment was reflected in his dark eyes.

The midday sun passed over the city skyline and spread across the streets of the shopping district.

Dazzling rays of light shone from the outer windows of the clothing stores. Water droplets clung to the roses displayed outside the flower shops along the street. As the crowds of people surged, the noisy voices and the announcements on the billboards mixed together. At this moment, the bustling shopping street seemed to be covered with a layer of filter, adding a bit of the relaxing flavor of an art film.

"Watanabe-san, what do you usually do on weekends?"

As Kiriyama and Ma spoke, they looked at Watanabe Yu curiously.

On Saturdays and weekends, the latter will start to disappear, and it will take six to seven hours, or even twelve hours, for them to reply to their Line messages.

He is so busy that he seems to have no time to rest.

“It depends on how long it takes.”

Watanabe Yu narrowed his eyes subconsciously.

While chatting, the two of them had already walked from the shadows of the street into the sunshine. The white light shining from the window glass at the end of the street made him a little dazzled.

"What do you mean?"

Kiriyama and Ma didn't understand what Watanabe Yu meant by this sentence.

"literal meaning."

Watanabe Yu moved a few steps to the inside of the pedestrian street, avoiding the overly dazzling white light.

"Then in the near future."

Kiriyama and Ma glanced at Watanabe Yu, not quite understanding his sudden little action.

Then he followed suit and tried it.

Yeah, my eyes hurt a little, I understand.

"Picking up the saint in distress and settling down." Watanabe You thought about it and made a small modification in his heart.

To be precise, it means 'picking up a saint who is pretending to be in trouble'.

"?"

Hearing this, Tongshan Hema's eyes suddenly lit up, "Tell me more about the Saint in distress."

He is very familiar with this subject matter.

Especially that classic line.

Gu...Kill me!

"Shouldn't we talk about precipitation in detail?"

Watanabe Yu quickened his pace. God knows if it was because of his position, but the white light coming from the windows outside the clothing store became more and more dazzling.

If he continued to be illuminated like this for a while, he was afraid that he would turn into light as well.

"Is settling down a prerequisite for picking up a saint in distress?"

Kiriyama and Ma asked subconsciously.

"…You are really hopeless."

Watanabe Yu shook his head.

Now he finally understood what it meant for adolescent boys to have only the harem and the six courtyards in their minds.

"When did you develop the illusion that I could still be saved?"

Kiriyama and Ma asked back.

"..."

Watanabe Yuu fell silent.

Well, Kiriyama and Ma have completely let themselves go.

The two of them walked out of the shopping street.

Kiriyama and Ma were not idle either, they were always looking for topics to talk about. Watanabe Yuya would occasionally say a few words, but his thoughts were unconsciously focused on the issue of the publishing house.

During this period of time, he gained a general understanding of several more famous publishing houses.

First, the publishing house with the strongest overall strength.

Its internal competitive pressure and intensity are the same as its position in the publishing industry. Its main feature is the classic law of "Theory of Evolution": survival of the fittest.

There is no such thing as friendliness to newcomers.

Moreover, if you want to contribute to this publishing house, you need to have a certain reputation in the literary field.

In other words, you have to win a prize first and complete the BO3 qualifying match before you can join that circle.

Based on this screening model with very high requirements for rigid conditions, this publishing house has the most well-known authors and the widest publicity and distribution channels.

In simple terms, if you submit your work to that publishing house, you probably won't have trouble finding someone to help you write the recommendation for the book cover.

The second-ranked publishing house is slightly weaker in overall strength than the first one, and is slightly more friendly to newcomers, but only slightly better.

Regarding treatment, I can only say it is regrettable.

It is one of the top-ranked publishing houses that is more aggressive in lowering prices.

The third-ranked Akiba Book Company is slightly inferior to the second-ranked publishing house in terms of comprehensive strength, but because it is backed by Akiba Broadcasting Co., Ltd., it is stronger than the latter in terms of publicity and distribution channels.

However, since Akiba Books has only gradually entered the public eye in recent years, it suffers a bit in terms of popularity compared to the two old publishing houses mentioned above.

However, there are gains and losses. Precisely because Akiba Books is still young, in order to grab more market share, this publishing house is quite friendly to new authors. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the friendliest among the top publishing houses.

The same is true for treatment.

According to the treatment offered by Akiba Books, based on the premise of being newcomers, for books of the same quality, their royalties will generally be 0.5% to 1% higher than the industry average. For books of particularly excellent quality, the price can be further negotiated.

so……

There is still a long way to go!

Watanabe Yu took a deep breath and looked at a billboard not far away.

It was a real estate company's advertising billboard.

He was not interested in the formulaic content above, but he was quite concerned about the marked house prices.

[A single-family house in Bunkyo district is for sale urgently. It has convenient transportation and complete surrounding infrastructure. It is close to Xinghai Elementary School, Tianxiang Middle School, and Fengjing Middle School. It covers an area of ​​37 pings (Japanese house area measurement unit, 1 ping ≈ 3.3 square meters), about 122.1 square meters, and is only sold for 7400 million yen! ]

仅？
Well, as expected, no matter where you are, housing prices in central areas can never be too cheap.

You have a long way to go, Yuko!
