Chapter 0031

Homura walked into the shop, and a beautiful maid with long flax hair came to face him: "Master, Welcome back!"

He was stunned. The appearance of this maid was unexpected but reasonable...

"Kotori...Uh, no, Minalinsky!" Subconsciously said the real name of the person in front of him.

(Her title was "Legendary Maid Minalinsky" while working. She's from 'Love Live!')

"Um... Master, do you know me?" Kotori Minami asked in shock and confusion.

It hasn't been a few days since she start working here, why would anyone know her!?

"...A coincidence! Yes, a coincidence." Homura wiped off his cold sweat and quickly changed the subject. "Yes, someone asked me to be here. Do you know where Miss Iida is?"

After taking a deep look at him, Kotori bowed slightly and said, "Miss Iida? Please come with me, Master."

Homura hurriedly followed, and while walking, he thought about the changes that would be brought about by discovering Kotori Minami, and whether his plans needed to be changed.

It's just a general consideration, and there is no time to think about it for now. His focus, for now, is on the issue of comics, which involves the level up of him.

"Oh! Coming! It's nice to meet you Izumi-sensei!" Ayano Iida found his figure and got up to greet him.

Kotori was puzzled upon hearing this, Izumi-sensei? He should be about my age, right? Why is it called Izumi-sensei?

Homura stretched out his hand: "It's nice to meet you too, I am Homura Izumi. You can call me Homura or Izumi, it's okay if there's no 'sensei'."

Iida Ayano was not polite, holding his hand and saying, "Then I will call you Homura directly, and Homura you can call me Ayano."

Kotori thinks that these Izumi-sensei are light novelists or cartoonists?

When the two of them sat down, Kotori came up and said, "This is our menu."

"What do you want Homura?" Ayano said, passing the menu.

Homura stretched out his hand to open it, glanced at it casually, and closed it again.

"Since I'm at a maid cafe, I'll order omelet rice!" Homura said.

Then she looked at Kotori: "I'll also have omelet rice and for a drink..."

Looking at Homura with a questioning gaze, he stretched out his hand and motioned her to decide.

"And two cups of Coke!" After ordering the drinks, she returned the menu to Kotori.

Kotori recorded it and confirmed it again with a sweet voice: "Two omelet rice and two cups of Coke, right? Master, please wait a moment."

"By the way, two masters, do you have any requirements for what do you want to be called?"

Homura's eyes trembled when he heard this, and said calmly, "Miss Maid, please feel free."

Iida Ayano glanced at him unexpectedly, wondering if he found something, and asked with a smile, "Is it okay to call anything?"

Kotori smiled and said, "Yes, its master, sister, princess, and eldest lady are all okay."

"Then Miss!" Iida Ayano said directly.

Homura looked at her speechlessly.

Just thinking about it, Kotori looked over...

"The one over here is Onii-san!"

Homura was shamelessly shaken. It must be intentional!

"Then Onii-san and Miss, please wait a moment." Kotori left with a smile, and Homura always felt that there was something in that smile.

After a moment of silence, Homura looked at Ayano who was staring at him with a smile on her face, and said angrily: "By the way, why in all locations why maid cafe?"

"Isn't this considering you, your age, and hobbies!" Iida Ayano said generously, choosing this on purpose for me.

Homura sighed after hearing this.

"Forget it! Let's talk about the signing of the contract first!" He entered the topic.

"Signing a contract is okay!" Ayano Iida said directly, "Manke Bookstore can give you the greatest profit distribution!"

Homura was shocked, is there anyone like this? Don't you fight for the interests of the publisher?

Seeing his expression, Ayano continued: "Of course, this is because your work has this quality, otherwise even if you are from the Izumi family, the publishing house would not do this."

"...What does this have to do with my family?" he seemed to have guessed something, and still asked.

Ayano shrugged: "So you don't know? Manke Bookstore is your family's property."

"...I have a hunch" Homura shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't expect that in the end, the source of his funds would still have something to do with his father.

He didn't even think about leaving to change a publishing house, but because Iida Ayano contacted him, and since there was a problem with their own publishing house, he could still help!

"Does my father know?" he asked.

"He probably already knows, the editor-in-chief will report it." Ayano guessed.

He nodded: "Well, then I guess my dad will call me in these two days."

Ayano was a little surprised when she heard this. Is this a bad father-son relationship? She shook her head, did not ask much, and took out the contract.

Homura took a look and signed it after without finding any problems.

"I thought I would be arguing with you for a while, but I didn't expect to be the biggest beneficiary directly," Homura said with some sigh.

Ayano smiled: "It was originally your Izumi's family's profit and your work. It is normal to give more to you. After all, you are the young owner, and you have this talent yourself, so it is not a loss of the publishing house's interests."

Homura smiled freely: "Then I want to bring out a gift!"

Ayano looked at the present he brought out and placed it in front of her. One was a follow-up to Monthly Girls, and the other was...new manga?!

"Open it and see if you are satisfied with it." he motioned.

Looking at Homura's expression, Ayano felt that he was serious.

After thinking about it a little bit, she picked up the "Monthly Girl" and checked it. She still looked at the works that she had decided to sign.

Iida Ayano said with satisfaction: "Awesome, the quality hasn't decreased at all, and the characteristics of these new characters are very unique.

Not far away, Kotori looked at Ayano's expression and sighed in her heart... Seeing the editor's satisfaction, this 'Izumi-sensei' should be amazing.

"Thanks for the compliment." Homura continued, "Then, please look at the other one!"
