Chapter 7: Contract
Chapter 7: Contract
Yuuki looked at her with a strange gaze and made her uncomfortable.
"Wh-what's wrong?" She asked him.
"Well, before I show it, can you tell me who are you?" Yuuki asked.
"Th-that's right! How am I forget!" Yuuki sweatdropped in response, "My name is Otosuna Mihari, I'm the editor in this Weekly Shonen Gongon" Mihari said while handed over her name card.
"Well, don't be formal my name is Shuuei Yuuki, I want to submit my manga here," Yuuki said while pointing his finger at his manga.
"Then, please, let me check your manga." Mihari guided him to the reception room so she could check his manga.
"Can you let me see it?" Mihari asked.
"Sure, here is my manga." Yuuki gave her his manga.
"Thank you," Mihari said while started to read his manga.
'Fairy Tail? It looks interesting.' Mihari started to immersed into reading it.
Mihari couldn't believe it, in front of her was a manga that could change the world of manga within a day. Her hands started to shake while holding his manga.
"Shuuei-san! No, Shuuei-sensei! Let us publish your work!" Mihari bowed his head at him.
"Well, don't call me Shuuei, call me Yuuki," Yuuki said.
"Yes, Yuuki-sensei!" Mihari said. "Please, publish your manga in our company!!" She asked while looking at him.
"Well, I can publish my manga here, but we need to talk about the contract right?" Yuuki said and made her remember. Mihari had never done a contract at all. She was startled and didn't know what to do.
Yuuki noticed that Mihari was confused and could only sigh. He didn't really care who was his editor and he didn't mind to have her as his editor. He knew that she was a new editor in this company. He could only help him to get her superior.
"Why don't you call your boss or superior?" Mihari realized her mistake and started to call her editor in chief. She started to open her phone and called her superior.
"Hello, a chief editor that is...." Mihari started telling her about his manga.
They talked for a while and Mihari closed her phone.
"My editor in chief will come in 10 minutes." Yuuki nodded in response and decided to talk with her.
Both of them had talked for a while and Yuuki was quite amazed at Mihari. She was just graduated from her university. She had actually wanted to become a mangaka, but she didn't have the ability to draw a manga. But she wanted to involve in the world of manga, that was why she became an editor.
"But, I didn't expect you're a high school student, Yuuki-sensei!" Mihari was amazed.
"Well, do I look old to you?" Yuuki teased her.
"N-no! But, your body is a bit.." Mihari started to observe his fit body and blushed. She had never thought someone so young to have a such a great body. She then noticed that he was also handsome. She wanted to say something to him but the chief editor appeared.
"Mihari-chan, where is the mangaka?" A little girl with a white t-shirt, short green hair, and expressionless appeared suddenly,
Yuuki was startled at her appearance, 'Well, she is small.' He knew the anime 'Assistant-san and Mangaka-san'. He knew the small editor was quite perverted and expressionless. She was also legal loli, but she was too small for him.
"Hmm, did you think something rude about me?" The chief editor looked at Yuuki.
"Sorry, I didn't expect the chief editor is quite young," Yuuki said calmly.
"Hmm, well, it doesn't matter." The chief editor actually quite surprised seeing someone who didn't surprised to see her. There were many time that people didn't believe she was the chief editor of Gongon. She was quite vexed but she had used to it. She had a good impression of Yuuki when she saw him didn't show any surprise expression.
"Can you let me see his manga?" Mihari hurriedly gave her. She started reading and left both Yuuki and Mihari. He asked her the name of the chief editor.
"Her name is Minano Matome." Yuuki nodded in response. Even though he knew her name from his past life, but it was strange if he knew her name suddenly.
Yuuki was confident that his manga would be accepted and would be published as soon as possible.
Yuuki kept waiting until Minano looked at him with a serious expression.
"Please, publish your manga on our company," Minano said the same thing as Mihari.
"I'm okay with publish it in your company, but let's talk about our contract," Yuuki asked again.
"Don't worry, we'll give you an appropriate contract." Then both of them started to talk and left Mihari who was clueless. Yuuki didn't expect that Minano would give him 18% royalty, it was quite a lot for a newcomer.
"Really, 18%?" Yuuki asked her.
"Yes, I believe this manga has a lot of potentials and we can increase it in the future," Minano said.
Yuuki didn't expect that Minano was so shrewd. He knew that she was so generous to him because she wanted him to publish his another manga in this company in the future.
"For now, we'll pay 25.000 island coin for each page, but it will increase when the popularity is rising." Yuuki nodded and didn't mind. He was a newcomer and 25.000 island coin was quite a lot. It was usually 12.000 island coin or less for a newcomer to for each page of their manga.
In this world, all the money used an island coin as their currency. It was almost the same as 'Yen' in the currency.
After both of them were satisfied, Yuuki sighed a contract to publish his 'Fairy Tail' in Weekly Shonen Gongon.
"Happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation."
Both Yuuki and Minano was handshaking.
