I'll post an extra chapter every 300 Power Stones. Good luck with that!
Goal for the next extra chapter: 62/300

A lot has happened over the past few days.
The new volume of Oregairu was published and has been receiving a lot of praise, both from readers and from well-known people who are known for being quite critical. A complete success.
First-week sales surpassed 100,000 copies once again. It reached #1 by a huge margin over second place. No author has the ability to sell as much as I do.
And speaking of novels, I finished all the illustrations for the first volume of Tensura, and the first volume would be published in two days. Many of my readers were worried, saying things like, "You're working too hard" or "You should get some rest."
They have reasons to be concerned. I'm publishing Oregairu, Tensura, and I'm also publishing Dragon Ball. On top of that, I do EVERYTHING by myself.
But they're wrong. They would be right if I hadn't already finished all the volumes of Tensura, Oregairu, and all the chapters of Dragon Ball. The only thing I'm currently writing is The Apothecary Diaries.
I still haven't started drawing the chapters of Shingeki no Kyojin. I'll probably start working on them soon.
But speaking of manga, Dragon Ball's sales keep increasing every week. My editor sends me an email almost every day thanking me for my work. He said that my manga has helped Shonen Jump a lot.
I was surprised because I didn't know Shonen Jump was doing so poorly.
I'm happy that I can help.
But seriously, the number of people talking about all of my works is insane. I try to respond to as many readers as possible to get closer to them. My editors said it's a good thing to do.
Now, let's put my acting career aside for a moment and talk about the "Idol" music video.
Aoi Hoshino sends me messages every day asking about the animation process of the video. Fortunately, Asuna said it wouldn't take long for the video to be completed. She said it would be ready for release within a month.
When I told Aoi Hoshino about it, she sent me a two-minute voice message screaming with happiness. She was incredibly excited to officially release the video.
Fortunately, people have already forgotten about "my version" of Idol. The video is still on YouTube and continues to get views, but people aren't talking about it anymore.
In fact, my name is currently being talked about a lot because of "A Piece of My Heart." The director and screenwriter of the series recently gave an interview saying that filming was close to being completed.
After that interview, the series started being discussed everywhere. And of course, I was included in those discussions. It created a new boom on my Instagram, and my follower count increased significantly.
And speaking of Instagram, I started posting things daily at Rina and Rikuya's request.
They said it would be good to keep the account active in order to receive offers from brands.
As for those offers, I've already made two sponsored posts on my Instagram. They were for two clothing brands. They sent me products and asked me to post a photo wearing them. All I had to do was that and tag the brand to earn a few thousand yen.
Making money that way is easier than writing.
Rina said her email inbox is exploding and that offers keep coming in nonstop. But of course, she made it clear that she would only tell me about the best opportunities.
Huff~~
Letting out a sigh, I stood up.
I looked around and smiled.
"It turned out really well."
My office is finally finished too. A computer with three monitors, a large desk, a bookshelf filled with figures, manga, and novels, a television, a PlayStation 5, and even a bed in case I want to sleep here.
Actually, this looks more like an otaku teenager's bedroom than an office, but who cares?
"The only thing left now is setting up my studio so I can start producing some music."
A company will come tomorrow to install soundproofing in one of the rooms. After that, I'll need to spend a lot of money on equipment.
I talked to Aoi and got the contact information of one of her friends to help me with that.
He agreed to help without thinking twice.
I picked up my phone and saw that I had received a message from Rina.
[The meeting will start at 4:00 PM. I'll be at your house at 2:30 PM.]
[Okay, thanks.]
Today is the day of the meeting with the director, screenwriter, and actors who will be participating in the project "Teenage Love."
A few days ago, I decided to take part in this movie, and today the first cast meeting will take place.
According to the information I received from Rina, filming will begin in two weeks. She also said that filming will last no more than a month.
"I'm looking forward to it."

POV: Third Person
As soon as he arrived at the meeting, he greeted everyone and sat down. The meeting was taking place in a restaurant that had been reserved exclusively for that gathering. Everyone looked at him.
Kyo felt uneasy but said nothing. After all, he didn't know any of the people there.
'They're probably actors and actresses, but I don't remember seeing their faces before,' Kyo thought.
It's not a major project, after all.
So he took out his phone and waited for the arrival of both the director and the screenwriter.
They took a while, but eventually they arrived.
Director Yuki Matsuda arrived shortly afterward, accompanied by screenwriter Kaito Fujimori.
"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm glad you all came," the director said with a friendly smile. "Especially you, actor Kyo Evans."
"Well, of course I would come." Kyo smiled innocently.
The women at the table felt their hearts race, while the men were clearly jealous. Kyo attracted a lot of attention.
The director was impressed by Kyo's appearance.
'He's even more handsome in person.'
Screenwriter Kaito Fujimori was also surprised.
'It's unbelievable. His skin doesn't have a single blemish... Besides, I've never seen such perfect teeth in my entire life.'
The two then introduced themselves (unnecessarily) and sat down.
Kyo put away his phone and started paying attention to the meeting.
But in the end, they discussed almost nothing about the project itself. It was simply a dinner meant to help Kyo get closer to the other actors and actresses so everyone could get to know each other better.
Of course, all the women flocked to Kyo like predators.
It was difficult for Kyo to keep everything under control.
