Chapter 2 – End of Outsourcing
[It’s not that I didn’t like it because it’s a woman, but I just found it a bit surprising. Were you displeased after reading the novel I wrote?]
To be precise, since I was a woman, I was worried about this, regardless of whether it was good or bad.
I wrote a novel that darkly targets women from a male perspective, steeped in fantasy, but I feel a vague shame about how a woman would view the author who wrote such a novel.
She got her message back quickly.
[Of course, as you said, the novel you showed me has a male-oriented bias, but since I have dabbled in a lot of different subcultures, this is not a big deal haha. You don’t have to worry!]
In short, he said, ‘I’m a junkie who can’t eat anything, so don’t worry.’
Rather, I like it.
[I was a little worried that you might not like it, but thank you for understanding. Well then, thank you!]
[Thank you for entrusting me with such a precious character. I think the coloring rough will probably be completed in about a week. Then, we will contact you again as soon as it is completed ^^]
Quite friendly.
[Thank you for cherishing my character. See you in a week then~]
… I definitely didn’t bother sending another message because I found out it was a girl. Maybe it’s because I’ve been part of the top-down culture for a long time, but I was timidly worried that ending the conversation like that would make me feel like I was ignoring the other person’s words and not fully responding to them.
[Yes, thank you for your support as well ^^ Enjoy the rest of your day~]
“…”
They probably thought the same thing.
I felt like the conversation would continue endlessly if things continued like this, so I decided to let the reply stop on my end.
Something um.
It feels refreshing.

A week later.
As promised, Ms. Satomi sent the color rough.
The fellatio of the pretty girl wearing colorful clothes was so intense that it was dizzying.
When I came across the max-level rough, which no man would be able to resist without pressing down on, I felt faint, my lower body became stronger, and I vividly felt dopamine spreading through the capillaries of my entire body.
I wish I had known Satomi in the military, but a faint feeling of regret comes over me. Then this work would have become a legend.
[If there is anything you don’t like or want to add, please feel free to tell us ^^]
[Doesn’t exist. I am so satisfied.]
… I was just about to end the conversation.
[Oh, by the way, if you don’t mind, is it okay if I use the rough version as a temporary cover?]
I gathered my courage and asked that because I wanted to show the world a cringe-inducing cover as soon as possible.
However, from Illerre’s perspective, is rough work treated similarly to a writer’s unrefined draft?
[Ah, I’m a bit embarrassed to reveal the rough…]
That’s the answer I got back.
When I saw the answer, a feeling of embarrassment spread to the back of my head.
I made a mistake.
That thought suddenly occurred to me.
[Oh, sorry. I think I asked you a rude request because I don’t know much about painting. Furthermore, I’m sorry if you were offended.]
There was no response to the apology right away.
‘Was it very unpleasant?’
Should I have known the unwritten rules of painting in advance? That time when I was blaming myself like that.
[No! Now that I think about it, I’m thankful because it means that the rough was also looked at favorably. You can make it public ^^ Oh, if it’s for the cover, I think you’ll need a high-resolution version, so I’m sending you the original ratio file!]
Satomi Is she a god…? ?
I expressed my gratitude generously, downloaded the image, and registered the cover in the serial section.
Even with just the cover, it feels completely different.
[Writer, then I will greet you with the finished work in a week. If you have any changes, please feel free to let me know at any time.]
I was smiling happily as I looked at her message alternately and at Yeon Jae-ran, who was looking very upset.
After I sent her a message asking if I wanted to publish the rough, I was thinking about the unwritten rules in the art industry and realized by looking at the time of her message that it only took about a minute for her to give me permission to publish the rough.
‘… It felt like a really long time.’
Have I been waiting for a message for quite some time without realizing it?
I don’t know.
###
As promised, I received the finished copy a week later.
The effect of the cover was amazing.
The average number of daily views nearly tripled, and word of mouth also gained a lot of attention, with reviews saying that the story was “Quite good for a pornographic topic.”
The power of the bad guy was scary. Since ancient times, men are animals that have no choice but to do what their lower body tells them to do. I was a little disappointed that I only started getting attention after posting a crappy story, but I felt good because she confirmed that I wasn’t buried because I couldn’t write.
I enjoy writing.
I already have the story in my head anyway, so should I get in the mood and give it a try?
“My son.”
“Oh, just knock and come in!”
Suddenly.
Even though I was getting angry at my mother who opened my son’s room after returning from military service without knocking, I quickly pulled down the Internet window.
“What did you see?”
“Nothing in particular.”
“You’re not doing that because you saw something strange, right?”
“What kind of kid am I? Look at me like that.”
Since I am past the age of seeing strange things, I am now producing them myself.
“Son. “A mother trusts her son.”
“Where can I believe it or not? I am now 21 years old. “No matter what I do, it’s my heart.”
“What kind of habit is that when you talk to your mom?”
“Hey, get out now. Because I have something to do.”
When my mother heard that, she smiled strangely.
“You shouldn’t do it too often~”
A significant warning was issued.
“It’s not what you think, so don’t worry.”
“I’m out of tissues.”
“There is no need.”
“If you don’t have that…”
“It’s not like that!”
I ran out of tissues. It was almost like a big problem.
Anyway, if the story gets longer, I, as an adult content producer, will be in trouble in many ways, so at this point, I decided to become the fire-elemental son who drives out her mother.
“Get out quickly. Get out! Is there a case like this where a son comes straight from his military service to his room without knocking? Get out quickly!”
The mother, pushed by her son, left the room, and after locking her door, I opened the document creation program again and started working.
… But anyway, there was no content, so I felt a bit of regret later, wondering if I had made a mistake.
Anyway, the cover was completed.
The result, which was produced much faster than the deadline, was so satisfying that I never got tired of looking at it over and over again.
To commemorate her first outsourcing transaction, which she was very satisfied with, I bought her a gifticon and sent it to her with her thank-you note.
It was a kind of bribe given to her because I liked her drawings so much that I wanted her to work again, but on the other hand, compared to other artists, her outsourcing fee was very cheap, so I thought, ‘It is my conscience to get this level of result at this cost. It is also because of a strange sense of justice that says ‘I will not allow it’.
[Satomi, this is to thank you for your hard work in drawing beautiful and excellent results. It’s nothing special, but I would appreciate it if you could accept it. I hope I have something to request again.]
It was nothing special, just a set of coffee and a piece of cake. It was too simple, even in my opinion, so I felt a bit of regret after buying it, thinking I should have bought something more proper.
[Oh my god, thank you so much!! It’s my first time outsourcing, so there may have been a lot of shortcomings, but I’m so grateful that you took such care. I hope I can work with the author again. Thank you, I will eat well!]
I feel this every time I see him, but he really has a rich reaction. I thought there was bound to be a certain level of rigidity when talking to each other as money was exchanged, but thanks to her kindness and consideration, I was able to inquire with great ease.
Although his speech is soft and round, he meticulously provides information essential to business without missing any information. It’s a perfect style when working together.
… It would be nice to have another job to work with.
That’s how the work with author Satomi ended.
