Chapter 198: I'm Just a Mangaka
It was Friday night.
In front of the magnificent Shangri-La Hotel, luxury cars of all kinds were bustling in and out.
It is located on the banks of the Sumida River, in the heart of the financial district. It is magnificent and luxurious.
The nearby Odaiba, brightly lit and colorful, reflects the luxury and decadence of Tokyo.
Ren drove his simple car and brought Sakura, Ayumi, and the others.
He didn't drive wildly this time.
After all, there's a speed limit on urban roads, and after what happened last time, he knew that Sakura and Ayumi couldn't handle speed and passion.
So he chose to drive normally.
There were no accidents on the way, and they smoothly entered the hotel's underground parking lot.
After arriving at the parking lot, Ren said, "Alright, let's go eat!"
For him, this wasn't a celebration banquet, but a grand buffet.
"Okay."
Sakura and the others got out of the car.
Then they found the private room, according to the address for the celebration banquet that Haruto Yamamoto had given them.
"Amamiya-sensei!"
Haruto Yamamoto, along with a group of executives and key company members, were waiting at the door.
Upon seeing Ren and the others, he was very happy.
"Hahaha, Haruto, you don't need to come out and wait for me, do you?" Ren said, a little embarrassed.
"Amamiya-sensei is the protagonist of our celebration banquet this time, of course we have to wait for you," Haruto Yamamoto said with a smile.
"Then, let's go in first, don't keep everyone waiting anxiously."
Ren was a little embarrassed.
He wasn't used to others waiting for him, especially when everyone was waiting for him together.
It was very embarrassing.
"Alright, alright, let's go in," Haruto Yamamoto said enthusiastically.
But after entering, the leader's speech was what Ren found very boring.
He showed no interest and started eating directly with Sakura, Ayumi, and the others.
But the most embarrassing part of the way was that Haruto Yamamoto called him up to speak.
How terrible! He has become a leader.
Faced with this situation, Ren laughed out loud and said, "Everyone has contributed to this success, so let's eat, drink, and have fun today!"
Then he ran down and continued to nibble on a lobster claw.
Haruto Yamamoto couldn't say anything at that moment.
Ren's current strength and status allowed him to completely ignore the rules.
So Haruto Yamamoto could only follow his words and let the employees start eating directly.
But at that moment, he quietly approached Ren and said, "Amamiya-sensei..."
"Huh? What's up?".
Although Ren didn't follow the rules, he was still very polite.
He stopped immediately, looked at Haruto Yamamoto, and said.
"Thank you so much for your success this time, sensei."
Haruto Yamamoto smiled and took out a bank card. "This is a thank-you gift from our company to you, sensei. There isn't much money, just 600 million yen."
"The profits from subsequent game sales will also be transferred to the sensei's account through this card. I hope you don't mind."
"Oh, thank you very much."
Ren nodded and put the bank card in his pocket.
He is quite rich now. He is no longer the poor boy from before.
Not counting the money and properties his parents and uncle, who were scrooges, gave him, he has a considerable income from the royalties of the three manga and the share from peripherals.
So 600 million... is fine.
However, although 600 million is not enough to move him, it would be a waste not to accept this money.
No one would mind having too much money.
Ren considers himself a vulgar person, so the more money, the better! Seeing that Ren accepted it, Haruto Yamamoto continued to smile and said, "Speaking of which... does Amamiya-sensei plan to continue selling the copyrights for Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man?".
"Uh... you want the adaptation rights for Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man?".
Ren scratched his face with his index finger and asked with curiosity.
"Yes, since they are all your works, they should have the potential to be adapted into popular games," Haruto Yamamoto replied confidently.
"I don't think so."
Ren tactfully replied, "But if you want to acquire the rights to create a game... it depends on your good ideas."
Haruto Yamamoto was stunned for a moment, but smiled shyly and said, "Can you give us any advice or technical help at that time?".
"Ah... this... no."
Ren shrugged and said, "My main job is a mangaka. I'm only good at manga, so from now on you can only rely on yourselves."
"This... okay."
Haruto Yamamoto took a deep breath, with a slight regret on his face.
Ren said it; obviously, he didn't plan to interfere any more in the game's production.
He could only give up.
However, he was still confident in turning Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man into games; after all, these two works had Ren's backing.
The most important thing is that, although Ren didn't move, his game engine is still there.
Furthermore, Kenji Nakamura and the technicians in the development department have received a lot of teachings from Ren during this period, and their level has also improved a lot.
So... Haruto Yamamoto decided to take the risk! In this way, the celebration banquet ended with everyone eating and drinking.
Ren was also satisfied and sighed repeatedly, stating that this was worthy of the skills of a five-star hotel chef.
Sakura, the hidden rich girl, said it was okay; after all, she used to eat at that hotel.
Ayumi also immersed herself in the food and thanked Ren very much for bringing her.
Yuka and the other three assistants also gained knowledge and secretly decided that in the future they would become great mangakas like Amamiya-sensei. ...
Next, Ren's life returned to normal.
Chainsaw Man continued to be published.
The next plot of Chainsaw Man is no exception. Denji and Katana fight fiercely on the subway.
The duel between the two armed men is full of blood and violence. However, Denji was concerned about the innocents, while Katana had no scruples and beat her step by step. Nevertheless, Denji fought fiercely and finally defeated Katana.
However, it is obviously unlikely that he will kill Katana.
After all, he also has the physique of a fiend. Even if he's split in half, he can still recover later.
After Katana woke up, he found himself tied to the track naked.
