Chapter 6: 6: Extra Funding
(Yuuta's POV)
As I expected, my mom was angry at me. She didn't give me approval to move to Tokyo. She said I could do that later, after I enter university. I don't know the reason, but that just means there's no reason for me to move there. That's right, I just need to come up with a good reason, not an excuse. And I have been preparing for this for a month.
The school year is about to end. Students are cramped in front of the billboard in the school hall. As for me, I'm standing at the back of them.
"That's impossible."
"It's my first time seeing his name in the top ten."
"Psst. That guy is Shinomiya-san's ex right?"
"Ah, that guy?!"
These fuckers... I could hear that shit well. I heard murmurs around me. Judging by their reactions, these students aren't my classmates, so their reactions are quite comical. My gaze is fixed on my name. The billboard in the middle, only shows the top ten. Who's on the top? It was me. These fuckers didn't expect my emergence as the best of the best.
"Yamano-san! Congratulations on taking first place!"
"You're so cool! Let's keep our study group for next year too!"
I smile back at them, "Sure, let's do that next year."
My classmates recognize me here. It is said that human's brain only save important things and throw shitty memories out. Sure, after I said that line, I might forget about it.
"Yuuta..."
I look to my side.
"Hm? Ah, it's just you. Sup, Natsuha."
It was then that the crowd circling around me slowly dispersed.
"...C-congratulations."
My ex said with a shining smile. I nod at her.
"Why so nervous? Chill, I won't bite. Thank you. How about you?"
I look back at the billboard, then ask. She laughs slightly.
"Ahahaha. My rank is 14. It's not as good as you thought."
I hum, "At least you're 14 out of 220. Good work."
She 'um.' at that. I think it's time for me to go back. Today is just the announcement about the final exam. The rest is just the graduation ceremony and about two weeks of spring break.
On my way back to class, Natsuha asks, "Do you think we'll get the same class again?"
"I'm not sure."
She falls silent at that.
About me and her? Well, we still interact. On my side, I just be... me? yeah, and do things like I like. The day after the breakup was just another day, so it didn't affect me. I didn't ignore her just because she's my ex. Do you want me to be a sad-looking boy who just broke up? Nah, no thanks.
"Yuuta, I didn't give you a proper thanks yet for helping me study and letting me join your study group."
"No worries. I just did it because I wanted to."
"Is that so? But still, thank you."
"Okay."
Lately, she seems to be trying her best to make up with me. I'm not dense. I can tell she's trying hard, but I just pretend not to notice. After a while, I arrived at my class and packed my bag. It was then that my dinosaur-model smartphone rang. Well, it's 2012.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Kira-sensei. It's Iida Ayano from Shobo Publishing."
Ah, this is what I've been waiting for.
I need a lot of funds now, so I thought I could use my past memories. As a result, I've been writing a lot this month. I wrote two volumes of the light novel I read in my past life.
Yeah, I know it's cliche. But money is money after all~ Who doesn't like money? I want to buy stocks that will be valuable later. Because! No one will give a 14-year-old high schooler like me, millions of fucking dollar loan. Hey, I'm an investment prodigy. Fuck it. They would just kick my ass and call the police instead.
It's sad, but I don't want to take advantage of my parents even though they are rich.
So what kind of novel is this? I've been researching, and isekai isn't popular yet, so I gambled with Mushoku Tensei. I posted some free chapters on WN, and it worked so well that I'm scared to open my account. Hahaha! I never thought I could remember all my past life like a book. So this is the legend of photographic memory? Kehehe~ sounds good.
This world is different from my past. The music and some other things I don't recognize here, like where the hell is Harry Potter?
After that, a lot of publishing companies contacted me, and that's why Iida Ayano called me so we could negotiate.
"Ah yes, Iida-san. Are you here in Kyoto?"
"That's right, sensei! I'm calling you so I can pick you up."
"Are you alright with that? Must be hellish just arrive here straight from Tokyo."
"That's alright! I arrived yesterday and this is just my respect for a genius author like you, sensei!"
"Haha. Alright then, I'm currently at Horikawa High School."
"I see. I'll be there in 20, no! 15. I'll be there in 15 minutes, sensei!"
"Thank you. Also, take it easy."
Don't rush. She might get isekai'd for that. After that, I went to the locker and changed my shoes.
"Yuuta, did something good happen?"
"Of course."
I opened my locker... wait, did my face was obvious?
"What should I do with this?"
I sighed. There was one letter in my locker.
"Another one again?"
Natsuha said as I sighed.
"Oh? You got one too. Anyway, good luck with that."
I said, then left.
