Tokyo: Love Comes After Making Money

After dying suddenly, a struggling author for Shumeimao is reborn as Arima Shinya, an orphaned Japanese light-novel writer. With plenty of experience as a corporate drone, he decides to support himself with light novels until he comes of age. But his long absence from school brings one hassle after another: pressure from the school, warnings from his editor, investigations by the orphanage, and more. To get rid of these problems, and to avoid suddenly falling below the kill line if his light-novel career blows up, Arima Shinya decides to return to school, build up his savings, finish his education, and secure a stable job and income before saying goodbye to his corporate-drone fate.

But as he scrambles after money and dreams, a girl gradually appears at his side.

Hoshino Mayu, his gaming buddy. School, meals, shopping, studying, sleeping, competitions... The two are always together, sharing their everyday lives.

Many years later, after successfully starting a business and achieving his dream, Arima Shinya finally comes to his senses and decides to confess to Hoshino Mayu.

"I love you. Will you go out with me?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because our daughter is already in elementary school, dummy."
