"Don't get me wrong, I'm just speaking about my feelings as a reader, not as an editor-in-chief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Seeing the expressions of the editors, Sozao saw what they were thinking, so he explained.

"This novel reminds me personally of what it was like to read that novel ten years ago...... As the editor-in-chief, I can only say that this work is quite well written so far, and it is likely to become a popular novel. As for whether it will be popular, it depends on whether there is luck or not. ”

The editors were suddenly surprised.

Even if it is a popular work, whether it can become a work is not all based on the quality of the work, but there is an element of luck, or more accurately, luck.

If you're unlucky, even if it's a good quality work, it won't be a big hit. On the contrary, if the luck is strong, even if the quality of the work is average, it will become a hit.

In other words, there are both inexplicable and inexplicably popular works, and the so-called light novel market is such a strange thing.

This is still the case with popular works, not to mention legendary works.

Even the editor-in-chief of Hattori, who has been in this industry for decades and has witnessed the development of light novels to the extent they are today, cannot conclude that this will be a hit or even a legend after reading a few pages of manuscript.

"Miss Yoshizawa, tell me about this novel...... As for you, why are you still standing here? Go and do your job!"

The editor-in-chief spoke, and the editors immediately dispersed.

Saki explained the situation to Sozo.

"I don't want to publish 'Handsome Death', but I want to publish this 'Brother Story'. ”

Zongzao muttered, then looked at the screen and thought seriously.

"In terms of the quality of the existing manuscripts, yes. But after all, it is necessary to look at the whole book before making the final conclusion. ”

"Miss Yoshizawa...... You tell him that as long as he completes the whole book with this quality, votes it here, and if we approve it, we will give him the contract with the highest treatment for the newcomer, and promise to publish the book as soon as possible!"

After thinking about it, the editor-in-chief of Hattori said with a twinkle in his eyes.

……

Harusa received another call from Editor Yoshizawa during his lunch break.

Although the manuscript has not been written yet, there are a lot of words, and it takes time to read them all. So he thought that the other party would call again in the afternoon or even in the evening, but he didn't expect to call during the lunch break.

Saki spoke highly of the manuscript on the phone, and said that if it is written with this quality, she will sign a contract with the best treatment for newcomers and publish the book as soon as possible.

Harusa was happy to be highly evaluated, and he also felt the sincerity of the other party, so he agreed.

After that, he immediately called and told Xiao Shi the good news.

Kagura was delighted when she heard it, saying that it was a natural result.

"The novel written by Brother Harusa is the best!"

"No, it's not just me who wrote it, we created it together!"

Harusa hopes that Xiaoshi will be more proud of herself, instead of taking credit for him.

After talking to my sister on the phone, Harusa told Mika and Chiaki, who were having lunch together, about the situation...... Kaori wasn't with them this time.

Both Meijia and Chiaki congratulated "Brother Story" on being recognized by professional editors, and looked forward to seeing the finished manuscript even more.

After school.

Harusa and the others went to the library again to attend the drama club study meeting.

Kazama-san, who fainted yesterday, did not appear.

The members asked Deputy Minister Sinai about his specific situation.

Kazama-san, who didn't say why he fainted, just thanked me, and asked me to thank Harano-sani and Wakaba who sent him to the infirmary, saying that they didn't need to care about him. "As for today, he took time off to rest at home and did not come to school. ”

As a result, it is not known what the real cause is.

Could it really be the "truth" that I said yesterday?

Harusa and the others and the members of the department all showed subtle expressions.

"What's wrong with you?" Shinnai thought it was a little strange when she saw this.

Everyone looked at Nakajima.

"The brutal truth should not be repeated and let fade into darkness. Nakajima said in a deep tone.

You're afraid of the "ghost-faced" deputy minister's complaints!

Everyone complained in their hearts.

Sinna: "?"

"Brother Nakajima, what are you talking about?"

"Don't care, Deputy Minister, it's just a joke. Chiaki said, "Let's start learning." ”

Sinai looked a little concerned, but the senior sister said so, so she didn't ask more.

And the crowd began to learn.

Harusa writes novels again. When Mika and Kaori ask questions, I guide them.

Time passed smoothly.

After the study session.

Saying goodbye to Chiaki and Kaori, Hariji and Mika walk back to the apartment with Kaede Mai, whom they met when they left school.

During this period, I walked to an intersection and saw a boy walking a little shaky on the opposite side.

It's Hiroto Kazama.

Harusa recognized him.

The face of this "Ice Prince" at this time was twice as bad as yesterday, his face was as white as paper, his eyes were black, and he looked very sluggish, and he walked staggeringly, and the whole person seemed to be hollowed out.

He also walked to the intersection, didn't notice the red light turned on, and kept walking to the middle of the road.

A van sped up.

The truck driver suddenly noticed a pedestrian walking out and slammed on the brakes, but it was too late.

Just as he was about to hit it, a figure rushed through with great speed and dragged the blue-haired boy to the side of the road!

"Kiyogo!?" "Harano-kun!?"

Mika and Kaede Mai's exclamations rang out.

Passers-by were also shocked by this scene.

The truck driver was even more shocked into a cold sweat.

Thankfully it didn't hit.

"Bastard, don't you look at the red light!?want to die!?"

The middle-aged driver, who was apprehensive and angry because of it, leaned out of the window and cursed.

Then he drove back to the car very unhappily and quickly left the scene.

Harusa glanced at the truck, and then at the same student he had saved.

"Are you alright, Kazama-san?"

Kazama looked dazed, as if he hadn't realized what was happening.

"You didn't pay attention to the red light just now, and you almost got hit. Harusa said.

Kazama reacted and blinked.

"Are you...... Harano-san...... Thank you for saving me. He thanked weakly and lowered his gaze, "I'...... Accidentally ......"

Looking at the other party's depressed face, Haru Si frowned.

At this time, the green light turned on, and Meijia and Kaede Wu hurriedly walked over.

"Kiyogo ......" "Harano-kun ......"

Both the double ponytail girl and the blonde beauty have worried expressions on their faces.

"I'm fine, don't worry. Harusa smiled at them.

Seeing that he was indeed fine, the two girls were completely relieved.

"Really, all of a sudden, rush out...... It's scary!" Mika said in a complaining tone.

Kaede didn't say anything, but her eyes flickered.

"I'm sorry to scare you. ”

Harusa said sincerely, looking at Kazama again.

"Kazama-san, your face is really bad, you can't walk well, and your spirit is so sluggish...... What the hell is going on?"
