"And... what about the comic book authors?"

Lin Youshu asked cautiously again.

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "This hasn't been finalized yet. We'll recruit artists with different art styles based on the novel's progress. You can also offer your suggestions at that time."

Lin Youshu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the other party would say that the manga author had hired Eri Kashiwagi, which would be really ridiculous.

……

After careful consideration, Lin Youshu decided to agree.

What were his previous goals?

Isn't it all about promoting Chinese culinary culture?

What could be easier than having someone else spend money to promote your product?

of course.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. They must have chosen him because they saw his potential and the benefits he could bring.

It's okay, we're just getting what we need.

If this IP becomes popular, Lin Youshu will also receive a large sum of money from the revenue sharing, and he can even sit back and count money in the future!

Since it's a revenue-sharing model, he doesn't need to pay a single penny. When the contract is actually signed, we can have a professional lawyer review it, and as long as there are no problems, that's fine.

Then there's Kasumigaoka Utaha's contact information.

The other side pushed it to him.

Lin Youshu hesitated for a moment before choosing to add it.

Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly agreed and then sent a message:

"Tomorrow at 10 a.m., Smmertime Cafe."

……

the next day.

At the agreed-upon coffee shop, Lin Youshu met Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Today, my senior was wearing a blue short dress, along with her signature white headband and black stockings.

Upon seeing Lin Youshu appear, she stopped stirring her coffee with her small spoon, her eyes playful: "You don't seem surprised at all to see me."

"To be honest, I was quite surprised when I first heard the news."

Lin Youshu shrugged: "The fact that Shinazugawa Bunko chose you as a novelist seems a bit far-fetched to me. Aren't you supposed to write romance light novels?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes narrowed slightly: "What? You doubt my writing skills?"

"Can't you?"

"Ah!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha remained noncommittal, instead saying, "I thought you would refuse."

Lin Youshu raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked out the window: "There's no reason, it's just a feeling."

Lin Youshu spread his hands: "I originally wanted to refuse, but your president offered too much. The promises he made successfully attracted me. Anyway, I don't need to spend a penny, so why not give it a try?"

"you're right."

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't despise his vulgar statement; on the contrary, she agreed with it.

She knew all too well the benefits of money!

She wrote a bestselling book, which brought her a huge amount of royalties, and that's why she lives such a comfortable life now.

"Actually, I watched your final match live yesterday."

"Ok?"

Lin Youshu was now surprised.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was very satisfied with his expression; otherwise, it would be too boring if he always looked like he knew everything.

"Not bad, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good. Even in a novel or manga, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say you're the main character!"

"Thank you for the exaggeration."

Lin Youshu looked surprised, then smiled modestly.

To be honest, from the moment my senior saw him today, his attitude was completely different from when we first met. She almost suspected that he had dug a trap for her.

Become wary.

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly asked with interest, "By the way, you really have absolutely no interest in that Nakiri Erina?"

Lin Youshu had just picked up his teacup and taken a sip when he almost choked. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "Don't you think you're being a gossip?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's smile grew even wider: "I don't think so! Tell me, let's just consider it a discussion about the novel's plot!"

"Don't use discussing the plot as an excuse. Even if we're discussing the plot, we should start from the beginning."

Lin Youshu put down his teacup and sighed deeply.

He began to regret it.

Chapter 83 Lin Youshu: About the fact that I became the protagonist of the novel

Kasumigaoka Utaha is quite easy to get along with when she's not talking.

She is a very beautiful woman who looks very quiet and gentle.

However, once she starts speaking, you can feel her unrestrained and sharp tongue. No one knows if she will pierce your heart in the next second, plus some rather explosive remarks...

This made Lin Youshu secretly regret his actions.

You might as well be mute!

of course.

Putting aside his somewhat terrible personality, Hayashi Yuuki actually admires Kasumigaoka Utaha quite a bit.

A newcomer who sold 50 copies of a romance light novel easily joined the ranks of emerging authors and achieved financial freedom at a young age.

A true literary genius!

This kind of innate talent, bestowed by God, is enough to make 99% of struggling authors green with envy.

If she continues to write diligently, she will definitely be able to occupy an important place in the light novel field.

Not to mention she's a really, really beautiful girl.

If her identity is ever revealed, the number of fans who want to express their love for her could probably stretch from Tokyo to Hokkaido!

"It would be even better if she had a better personality."

Lin Youshu smacked his lips.

One tsundere is fine, but too many are unbearable; they're too exhausting to deal with.

He already has enough to handle at home, and he can't imagine what it would be like to be surrounded by tsundere types.

He probably died a terrible death.

In comparison, the healing-type beauties are much more popular, no wonder Kato Megumi's popularity exploded later on, easily surpassing the senior and the blonde loser.

Who wouldn't love a domestic angel?

……

"Don't you think it's very impolite to think about other girls while on a date with a beautiful girl like me?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes flashed with a dangerous light as her little leather shoes stepped on Hayashi Yuuki's foot.

Lin Youshu snapped out of his daze and immediately denied it: "No way, don't talk nonsense!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha sneered: "My intuition tells me you have it! My intuition is always very accurate!"

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business!"

Lin Youshu quickly changed the subject: "Let's start with the title. What are your thoughts on the novel's title?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha pouted, loosened her legs, and leaned back in her chair: "Tell me your opinion. The editor wants me to hear more of your thoughts, after all, this book can be said to be tailor-made for you."

Lin Youshu thought for a moment and said, "My requirements are very simple: the title should be catchy, the highlights should be obvious, and the selling points should be prominent."

"..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him like he was an idiot: "If this is easy, then you do it yourself!"

Lin Youshu was annoyed: "Fine, I'll do it! You're a professional bestselling author, what use are you!"

After saying that, he picked up the paper and pen next to him.

Seeing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha just sneered and didn't say anything.

She wanted to see what kind of catchy name this guy, who only knew how to cook, could come up with.

Do you really think naming a novel is easy?

"Think about it!"

Less than a minute later, Lin Youshu put down his pen: "Take a look!"

Hand the paper over.

Kasumigaoka Utaha took it and looked at it, her disdainful expression immediately turning into a stunned silence.

"To offer Chinese cuisine to a better world?"
