……
Monday, afternoon.
Sanae Touma, Rikka Takanashi, and Yui Doma came to the Far East Magic Society.
"I'll go make tea first, you guys go in." said Doma Mai.
Toumori Sanae and Takanashi Rikka nodded and walked into the second room, while Doma Mai stood in the first room and made tea.
She had decided that she would study hard this afternoon instead of sitting in the club, drinking afternoon tea and wasting her time.
[No matter how Sanae and Rikka influence me, I will study hard. ]
Doma Mai secretly made up her mind. After all, the midterm exam was approaching, and she was still thinking about the reward promised by Yushan Kazuto!
"The tea is here." Holding the tea, she walked into the second room and couldn't help but blink slightly.
Tu Shou Zao
Miao, Rikka Takanashi, and Asuna Yuuki were actually sitting at the table, reviewing seriously.
Doma Mai couldn't believe her eyes. If it was just Yuuki Asuna, it would be fine, but why were Touma Sanae and Takanashi Rikka also studying in the club? Isn't this a mess?
"Asuna, when did you come here?" Tsuchima asked as she walked to the table.
"The last class is physical education. I came here early after it was dismissed." Yuuki Asuna said with a smile.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly. She didn't expect that after knowing each other for so long, the other three people in the club were all the best in the club.
It seems that I am the only one who wastes the most time!
After putting down the tea, Domama quickly found the textbook and started reviewing together.
……
At Toyosaki Stadium, the football club is training.
"Three points and twelve!"
"Three points and fourteen!"
"Three points and fifteen!"
……
Looking at the numbers on the timer, Coach Feng Zhizaki's face became increasingly gloomy.
There had been no training for a few days, and in order to check the physical fitness of the members, Coach Feng Zhiqi specially put the 1,000-meter running training first.
As a result, most people's physical fitness tests declined, and only a few improved.
"We haven't even started training yet, and your physical strength is already approaching the limit?" Coach Feng Zhiqi couldn't help but roared, shocking several members and making them blink slightly.
"Today's training intensity will all be increased by 20%!"
Chapter 1546: Conditions for Authorizing Interviews
"Scumbag senior, why are you so late today?"
Seeing Yushan Kazuto walking out of the school gate, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but go to greet him.
"The football club's training volume has increased today." Yushan Kazuto said with a sigh.
"Hey, why did it suddenly increase? Will it have to be so late in the future?" Tsuchima couldn't help but blink.
If the club had to wait until this time to disband, Doma Yui would have left the Far East Magic Society later.
"That's not the case." Yushan Heren said.
"The situation today is a bit special. Since there has been no training for four days, the physical fitness of some members has inevitably declined, which made the coach a little angry, so the training volume has been increased." Yushan Heren said.
"Is that so?" Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly, "But after not training for so long, it's normal to have some decline."
"We can't help it. We are going to play against Tokyo FC U23 team on Friday. If our physical fitness declines at this time, the coach will definitely be a little angry." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Tokyo FC Club's U23 team sounds very professional?" Tsuchima couldn't help but say.
"Don't doubt it, it's a professional team." Yushan Heren said angrily.
"Huh?" Tsuchima Mai was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the Toyonosaki football team could actually make an appointment with a professional team.
"It's actually just a training match. Strictly speaking, it's not important. However, the coach is a serious person. Even if it's a training match, he hopes to give it his all." Yushan Kazuto explained.
"So that's how it is." Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly.
We had repeatedly told the members to train independently, but it all fell on deaf ears.
Even though they had already made an appointment with a team to play against, the players of Toyosaki relaxed their training, which did make the coach a little annoyed.
"Okay, get in the car, it's time to go home." Yushan Heren said.
"Got it!" Doma Mai glanced at Yushan Kazuto and sat in the co-pilot seat.
Looking at the appearance of Tsuchima Yui, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile. Just as he was about to get in the car, his cell phone vibrated at an inopportune time.
【Mai-senpai? 】
Looking at the caller's message, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink.
"Scumbag senior, Sagiri's fan count has risen to 15,000!"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Tsuchima raised her cell phone, but saw Yushan Kazuto make a "hush" gesture to her and walked aside to answer the call.
"Senior Mai, I'm calling suddenly. This is from the official competition committee. Have they received any response?" Yushan Kazuto looked at Tsuchima warily, and after confirming that the other party was still in the car and had not gotten out, he spoke.
"I was just planning to tell you the good news, but you guessed it. I don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all." Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but say.
"Well...next time I won't tell you even if I guess it." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile.
Since it is good news for Mai Sakurajima, then the national competition committee must have given a positive response and the authorization should have been obtained.
"Forget it, let's get down to business. In principle, the competition committee has agreed to the authorization, but there is one thing we need to discuss with you." said Sakurajima Mai.
"Hey, is there anything else?" Yushan Heren asked.
"Since you've agreed to star in a promotional video, you have to confirm the time frame." Hearing Yushan Kazuto's tone of being annoyed, Sakurajima Mai said helplessly.
"Weekends here are fine anytime, we're still relatively free during this time." Yushan Heren said, "Well, except this weekend."
"What are you doing this weekend?" Mai Sakurajima asked.
"I'm going to pick up a little cousin to come to Tokyo to play for two days." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
It has been a long time since we brought Shirasaki Hana to Tokyo. The last time she came, she just had a quick dinner. This week, Yushan and others plan to bring her over to have some fun.
"Junior Kazuto has quite a lot of cousins." Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but complain. It was also said that this time's comic by Kazuto Hayama was drawn by a cousin.
"Well, there are only two actually." Yushan Heren said unhappily.
"Forget it. It's hard to discuss time over the phone. And the organizing committee hopes you can come out to discuss it in detail and sign a written authorization agreement," said Mai Sakurajima.
"Is that so? The cartoonist himself doesn't need to be present, right?" asked Kazuto Yuyama.
Izumi Sagiri is most afraid of contacting outsiders. For example, the people on the competition committee are all serious. It is estimated that after meeting them once, Izumi Sagiri's social phobia will be deepened a lot.
"Well... the competition committee didn't tell me. I have to ask them about the situation."
"It would be best if the cartoonist himself doesn't need to show up. As I said before, my cousin is a bit introverted, so I can represent her fully." Yushan Heren said.
"I understand. I will try my best to help you." Sakurajima Mai blinked and said.
"Thank you, Senior Mai." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
"If the competition committee agrees, is there any problem with the interview tonight?" asked Mai Sakurajima.
"As for tonight...there's no problem on my side." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but glance at Doma Mai, who was leaning back in his chair, sulking.
"Let's talk about this first. If the organizing committee agrees that the cartoonist does not need to attend, I will send you the address for the interview." said Mai Sakurajima.
"Okay, then
I'm hanging up first, Mai-senpai."
Listening to the "beep" sound on the phone, Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly. This was not the first time that Yushan Kazuto hung up on her.
After taking a deep breath, Mai Sakurajima found the phone number of the organizing committee on her mobile phone and called them.
……
"Who did the scumbag senior talk to on the phone for so long just now?"
Looking at Yushan and others getting into the car, Tsuchima couldn't help but puff out her cheeks.
"They are from the national competition committee." Yushan Heren said.
As the manager representative for the national competition, it's not wrong to say that Mai Sakurajima is a member of the competition committee... probably.
"People from the competition committee? Why are they calling?" Tsuchima couldn't help but blink.
"Didn't I say it before? The competition committee should have recognized Sagiri's work, and now they are preparing to officially authorize the work." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Formally authorized? Huh?" Tsuchima couldn't help but blink.
"If we obtain official authorization, Sagiri's work should be seen by more people, right?"
"Well, and there are some invisible benefits. Maybe it can be published." Yushan Heren said.
Although the potential for hot sales should be relatively small, there is no problem in selling it as a peripheral work of the national competition.
Chapter 1547 Negotiators
"Can it be published? Then Sagiri will become a formal cartoonist." Doma Mai blinked and said helplessly.
This kind of publishing is different from some artists publishing their own picture albums at their own expense and selling them at comic conventions. In this case, it is equivalent to having an official certified identity, and future resources and cooperation opportunities will be greatly increased.
"It still depends on the response. As long as it can maintain a certain level of popularity, there should be a chance of publication." Yushan Herendao.
"Is that so?" Tsuchima blinked slightly and lowered her head in thought.
"When Sagiri becomes a cartoonist in the future, you, Koumaro, can really be Sagiri's servant." Hayama Kazuto said with a smile.
Doma Mai couldn't help but puff out her cheeks slightly. Even if she was willing to be Izumi Sagiri's servant, she didn't know how to do housework!
"By the way, the scumbag senior." Tsuchima Mai suddenly remembered something.
"what happened?"
"If the national competition committee officially authorizes it, do we need to sign an official contract?" asked Doma Mai.
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto nodded.
"Then doesn't Sagiri need to come forward?" Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but ask.
"That's not necessary. I can sign the contract on behalf of Sagiri." Yushan Kazuto said.
Doma nodded, but quickly reacted: "So the scumbag senior is going out again tonight?"
"Well... maybe? I wonder if the contract with the competition committee has been finalized." Yushan Heren said.
Tsuchiya couldn't help but snort softly, puffed her cheeks slightly, and turned her head to look to the side.
In recent days, Yushan Kazuto has been out all day long.
"Okay, anyway, we won't go out before dinner. Today, we won't go out until after dinner at the earliest." Yushan Heren said.
"Meru-chan doesn't care when that scumbag senior goes out!" Mei-ma snorted and leaned back in her chair.
……
As soon as I got home, I received a message from Sakurajima Mai.
The competition committee agreed to let Kazuto Yuyama sign the contract on his behalf, but he needed to obtain authorization from Sagiri Izumi and a document proving that the artist had authorized it.
Looking at the requirements of the competition committee, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink slightly. Does this count as exchanging one certificate of authorization for another?
However, since the authorities have agreed that Sagiri Izumi does not need to show up, Kazuto Yuyama no longer cares about these trivial matters.
The proof of authorization is very simple. Just let Sagiri Izumi sign one. As for the document proving that it is the artist herself, Kazuto Yuyama just needs to take the comics drawn by Sagiri Izumi and at most add a screenshot of her Twitter personal interface.
After replying to Sakurajima Mai, the other party quickly sent the address and time for a meeting in the evening.
The meeting place was a little far away, in Setagaya Ward, but luckily the meeting time was at 8pm, so there was still plenty of time.
After talking to Izumi Sagiri about the authorization documents, Yushan Kazuto went into the bathroom and took a shower.
