"No means no. Moreover, although I don't know what kind of ad you composed, but... perhaps after your publicity, the possibility of Yoshiwara's business becoming worse is still very high." Kawaki casually replied, "Alright. Hurry up and get out of here. Otherwise, I will ask Hyakka to invite you out."
Katsura's face darkened as he forced himself not to flare up. After a long time, he slowly raised his head, extended five fingers, and said, "Five points in profit!"
Kawaki replied, "Seven-three!"
"Four-six!" Katsura gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
"Eight-two," Kawaki replied again.
"You don't have to cut the price like this!"
"You don't seem to understand. This is what you are begging me for." Kawaki revealed a treacherous smile.
"At most three-seven!" Katsura clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Nine-one." Kawaki smiled and revealed his bottom line.
"You bastard! Are you fooling me?!" Katsura shouted with bloodshot eyes as if he was about to pull out the sword at his waist at the next moment.
"I'll give you three seconds to think about how to talk to others." Kawaki put on an indifferent expression, "One, two..."
"One-nines, one-nine!" Katsura gritted his teeth and replied.
"Oh my! Then sign the contract first." As Kawaki spoke, he took out the contract he had prepared from under the table and took out the ink and pen.
"Have you prepared it beforehand?!!" Katsura was in a bad mood. He lowered his head.
"Don't just stand there. The contract still needs to be signed. Two copies for each of us." Kawaki said and pushed the contract to Katsura, "My name has already been signed, and only the second party is left. Hurry up. After signing in, I am ready to have someone design the ad. But I still have to remind you a little. You have to look at the contract carefully."
In the end, Katsura signed his name on the contract and stamped his fingerprint. Of course, he didn't have time to look at the contract carefully because... the contract was too thick. A contract was almost as thick as a book...
After carefully looking at Katsura's signature to confirm that there was no problem, Kawaki nodded and stuffed a contract into his bosom. Then he clapped his hands at the door and shouted, "Come in; it's time to design the ad."
Just as Kawaki finished speaking, the door was instantly pulled open. Tsukuyo was wearing glasses and holding two books about advertising and marketing. She pushed Hinowa in. Hinowa was also wearing a pair of glasses. There were several books about advertising and marketing on her legs.
"Wait a minute! I have already composed the ad." Katsura quickly replied.
"No, I don't trust you at all." Kawaki replied, "And did you not look at the contract carefully? In additional condition 1, [the advertisement word is decided by Party A, and Party B is only responsible for inserting it in the interview. Party B must insert the advertising words a hundred times. Once there's a breach of contract, compensation of one billion yen liquidated damages must be given]!"
"This is completely impossible!" Katsura scolded, "What exactly do we have to do to insert a hundred ad lines in the interview! Just reading an ad will take a day!"
"Calm down, Zura." Kawaki comforted, "Don't worry, we will try to compress the ads as short as possible! At least, it will be compressed within two hundred words!"
"It's not Zura."
"It's not Zura; It's Katsura! That's not short at all! "Katsura shouted with veins popping out, "This is simply an overlord clause! My goal is to let the public understand Jouishishi's truest side, not to promote Yoshiwara! "
"I see..." Kawaki nodded and then continued, "Then you can also choose to break the contract~."
"Right, there's still this option..." Katsura muttered. Then, he revealed a smile and said, "Then I choose to go against it..."
Before he could finish his word, Kawaki took out a piece of white paper from his pocket and wrote down his bank account. He handed it to Katsura and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to transfer the one billion yen penalty fee into this account within a month."
"One... one... one billion?!!!!" Katsura was in a bad mood, "How come there are so many!"
"Didn't anyone tell you before you entered the society? You should have looked at the contract carefully before signing it, right?" Kawaki said casually.
"That's too long!" Katsura retorted, "It's as thick as a book. How can I read it carefully? It's a scam! A scam!"
"You can't blame me for that. I told you in advance." Kawaki casually replied, "You signed it in black and white! Besides, I didn't force you~."
As he spoke, Kawaki looked at Tsukuyo and Hinowa beside him. He smiled and said, "You guys, are the ad words ready?"
"Of course." Hinowa adjusted her glasses and replied with a smile. Then, she took out a thick stack of A4 paper from her bosom and put on a difficult expression, "But I seem to have prepared a little too much. I have composed several copies. Which should I choose? It's really annoying."
"I have also composed a few copies. If they are matched with pictures, the effect should be very good." Tsukuyo said as she took out a thick stack of colored pages from his bosom.
"You also have pictures?" Katsura was already starting to doubt life.
"But don't worry. I've already tried my best to compress the ad into two hundred words," Tsukuyo continued.
"I really didn't expect this day to come! Yoshiwara can be promoted in front of the people of the country. I really look forward to it!" Hinowa smiled and sighed.
Tsukuyo snorted and then replied, "Well, this man is somewhat useful for that."
"In your heart, how bad is my impression..." Kawaki retorted expressionlessly.
"Good-for-nothing man." Tsukuyo adjusted her glasses and replied decisively.
"Hey, I'll really be angry." Kawaki replied, "I'm really serious!"
Just as Kawaki finished speaking, he saw Katsura, who was looking at the contract in his hand with a dark face, laughing.
"Hahahaha..." Katsura's laughter became more and more deranged.
"Hello? Are you alright?" Kawaki asked doubtfully.
"Do you think I didn't consider this point?!" Katsura snorted and said. Then he raised his head, pointed to the contract in his hand, and shouted loudly, "You should first see if the signature is right or not!"
"What do you mean?" Kawaki was puzzled. He took out the contract in his bosom again and turned to the signature on the end page. "Zura Kotaro, there is nothing wrong. What's wrong?"
"It's not Zura; it's Katsura!" Katsura replied and then laughed loudly, "That is not my real name at all! You remembered it wrong, Kawaki!"
"What?!" Kawaki was shocked and then looked at Katsura with a puzzled face, "When did you change your name?!"
"How is that possible! It has always been Katsura! How many times have I reminded you since you were young!" Katsura shouted, "Just because you bastard calls the wrong name every day, I can't help but write the wrong name when I sign!"
"You are almost the same! You are so stupid that you can sign with the wrong name! There is no one else beside you!" Tsukuyo retorted.
"But it was fortunate that I managed to escape." Katsura chuckled and then revealed a look of relief.
"I never expected this." Kawaki covered his forehead with his hand and could not hide his disappointment, "It has been so long because Gintoki and Takaji have always called you that. It made me think that you were really called Zura Kotaro."
"Do you want to die? It was clearly you bastard who started to call me that!"
"Really? Is there such a thing?" Kawaki asked, "My memory is not very good. After all, it has been so long. Moreover, the name is not important, right?"
"How can it not be important! If you don't remember, turn to the fourth chapter and read it from beginning to end, bastard!" Katsura retorted loudly, "Every time you call someone else's name by mistake, it's very rude, don't you know!"
"Speaking of which, what is your real name, Zura?" Kawaki was puzzled.
"It's not Zura; it's Katsura!"
"Didn't I tell you?! What is your real name?"
"Didn't I tell you?! It's not Zura; it's Katsura!" Katsura shouted.
"Didn't I tell you?! What is your real name, Zura?" Kawaki's voice drowned out Katsura's voice.
"Didn't I tell you?! It's not Zura; it's Katsura!" Katsura also raised his voice, "Are you deliberately finding fault with me?!"
"That... I understand," said Tsukuyo, raising her hand, "This person's real name should be Katsura."
"Huh? Why?" Asked Kawaki, puzzled.
"Because didn't he just say, "It's not Zura; it's Katsura"?"
"No, no, that was just Zura's catchphrase." Kawaki retorted, "Just like what you often say about [You] and [I]."
"I see..."
"Heavenly punishment!" Katsura couldn't take it anymore. He pulled out his sword and slashed at Kawaki.
"Well, calm down." Kawaki quickly dodged, "There's no other way. Who told you never to explain? Then, why don't you take this opportunity to introduce yourself again? It can also be considered clarifying things in front of all the readers."
"What you said makes sense. Then..." As he spoke, Katsura put away his sword and said with a serious expression, "It's not Zura; it's Katsura; I am a member of the Jouishishi and one of the original five people! The Noble Youth Of Madness!"
"It's too long!" Kawaki complained, then sighed, "But I still can't remember it clearly. Come to think of it, how should I write the words "Katsura Kotarou"? Can you show it?"
"I didn't expect that you would end up like this one day..." Katsura sneered, "It seems that you didn't listen carefully when the teacher was teaching. Kawaki, then I will be merciful and tell you how to write the words "Katsura Kotarou"!"
"Please!" Kawaki took out a pen and paper and placed them on the table.
Katsura still had a proud expression. He took the pen and signed his name on the paper without looking at it. He said, "Did you look carefully? If you don't see clearly, I can do it again."
"Thank you so much!" Kawaki sighed with emotion. He took out another piece of paper and placed it in front of Katsura. Katsura signed his name again.
Kawaki held the two pieces of paper and held his face. His body trembled slightly.
"What's wrong? Are you too excited? I can understand. After all, my signature is also very precious..." Katsura held his hands and said proudly.
"Yes... I am really too excited..." As he spoke, Kawaki raised his head and revealed a dangerous smile, "Looks like you still haven't noticed where you signed your name, right? The contract has taken effect, Zura..."
"Don't tell me!" Katsura also reacted and said exasperatedly, "You actually did such a despicable thing!"
"How can you say that~" Kawaki teased, "You wrote it yourself~."
"Kawaki-kun~," Katsura said coquettishly.
"Give up." Kawaki replied, "If you act like this, it will only make me feel even more disgusted!"
"What a... dangerous man." Tsukuyo looked at Kawaki and muttered, "Although I said so, the result is not bad..."
"Kawaki! You bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
-----dividing line-----
The next day, after Katsura had continuously promoted Yoshiwara a hundred times in front of the entire nation's audience, Yoshiwara's GDP skyrocketed several times in the following month.
PS: Katsura, who was only focused on talking about the advertisement, had completely forgotten why he was participating in the interview...
PS of PS: Ninety-one shares; the part that should be given to Katsura, Kawaki ignored it.
