Although he learned that Xia Shizi was Xia no Qiu Shiyu, Xia You was very surprised, and his mood was in a commotion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But these days, he works in the café, and he has experienced a lot of unexpected situations, and his mood has quickly stabilized.

So I decided to finish talking about business first and then think about other things.

"Machida editor, didn't you just say that you wanted to talk about illustrations? Now it's time to get started. ”

Hearing this, Machida Enko nodded, then took out a document from the copywriting folder and handed it to Xia You.

"Mr. Natsu Aoku, please take a look at this document first. ”

"What is this?"

Xia You took it, flipped through it, and found that it was full of illustrations and a brief introduction.

Immediately, Machida Enko took out another copy and handed it to Yamada Irf, saying, "And Yamada-sensei will also take a look." ”

Compared with Xia You, who was a little unclear, Yamada Irfu obviously wanted to know more, and the document took over and looked through it.

Seeing that Xia You was a little confused, Machida Yuanzi explained with a smile:

"This document records most of the illustrators that Kadokawa Bunko can contact, and there are also a few of their works for reference, so Natsu Aoku-sensei will choose one of them as the illustrator of RE0. ”

As for the illustrator of the work, Kadokawa Bunko has always left it to the author himself.

After all, the author is the one who knows his work best.

Even if you don't know how to draw, you should have a vague imagination of the colors in the book, and you know what is the best.

Xia You suddenly nodded his head,

"Okay, I see, I'll take a look first. ”

So he continued to flip through the document in his hand, which was very thick, hundreds of pages.

He glanced a little, and saw that each page was actually accompanied by four or five brightly colored illustrations, as well as a brief description of the illustrator who drew them.

Looking at the candidates recorded in the document, there are many quite famous painters, Xia You couldn't help but say in surprise:

"Hey, that's amazing. ”

"You can choose the teacher slowly, don't rush, there is a lot of time. ”

With that, Machida Enko got up, smiled and asked, "Does the teacher want to drink coffee, or ice water?"

"Ice water will do. ”

Xia You doesn't like to drink coffee.

Hearing this, Yamada Irfu, who was looking at the document with his head buried in it, moved his pointed ears, and poked his head out, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone:

"I'm going to drink ginger ale. ”

"Sorry, there's nothing like that here. ”

Machida Motoko shrugged slightly, apparently accustomed to Yamada Irf's nonsensical speech.

Immediately, he filled two glasses of ice water and placed them in front of Xia You and the others.

Xia You thanked him and drank it.

He hadn't drunk any water on the tram just now, and he was quite thirsty.

Yamada Irve, on the other hand, flattened her mouth and didn't drink the ginger ale she wanted, which obviously made her a little unhappy.

But there was no way at the moment, she hated to drink bitter coffee, so she had to drink water.

Looking at her awkward appearance, Xia You smiled a little, shook his head, and said in his heart that he was really a child.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Anyway, isn't Yamada-sensei's work already accompanied by illustrations?"

Xia You still remembers reading the light novel that Kato brought to school before, with quite exquisite illustrations.

"yes, it's just that the previous illustrator had jumped ship and accepted an invitation from another writer, so we had to choose another one. ”

Machida Enko said with a helpless expression.

Generally speaking, there are relatively few illustrators who suddenly quit like this.

After all, before cooperating, illustrators also need to sign relevant agreements, and breach of contract requires a certain amount of compensation, and it is quite expensive.

But unexpectedly, the painter finally left resolutely, a little caught off guard.

There was no way, so Kadokawa Bunko had to arrange another illustrator for Yamada Ilf.

And I brought her here today, and it was for this reason.

Listening to Machida Yuanzi's words, Yamada Irfu suddenly became a little angry.

Since her debut, the painter who has worked with her for nearly a year has obviously made her very unhappy if she says she won't do it.

Yamada Irf put his hands in his arms, and his fair and lovely face was a little resentful.

"Hmph, that guy will definitely regret it in the future, who let her not grasp the super potential stock of Miss Ben well, and when I become the world's No. 1 light novelist, I won't pay attention to her at that time. ”

"Yes, yes. Machida Enko responded a little more on the spot.

Regarding Yamada Irf's speech, Xia You was also a little crying and laughing.

The world's No. 1 light novelist, should I say that Yamada Irf is confident, or is he arrogant?

Hawkers, but she didn't panic in the face of emergencies, which is already very powerful.

After all, judging from his age alone, Yamada Irf is just a primary school student.

Immediately, Yamada Irf snapped, slapped the document in his hand on the table, and pointed to the pages of the book with a white and slender little finger.

"Miss Ben has already decided that this person will be the illustrator for the next work. ”

"Who?"

Hearing this, Machida Yuanzi and Xia Yu both looked over curiously, only to see that the name of the illustrator listed on the page of the book was-

Eromana.

What a nasty name.

Such a thought suddenly appeared in Xia You's heart.

Compared with Xia You, who wanted to complain, Machida Yuanzi didn't care, but her tone was a little surprised.

"Mr. Yamada, your illustrator, has you decided to choose this Mr. Eromana?"

Originally, according to her thoughts, with Yamada Irve's always proud and arrogant personality, she would definitely choose the most famous illustrator, but she didn't expect to choose a relatively less famous person.

Eromana.

Machida Enko doesn't know much about this illustrator.

Looking at the information recorded on the document, Eromana is an active artist on Niconico, and often broadcasts the process of painting herself.

In addition, I occasionally receive some commercial illustrations, which are of high quality, so they are quite popular.

Yamada Irf snorted triumphantly.

"That's right, it's decided that it's her, according to Miss Ben's always absolutely accurate intuition, working with this teacher Eromana will definitely create the strongest light novel in history. It's definitely 10,000 times better than the guy before. ”

"Well, it's okay, but it's hard to say if you can invite her. Machida Enko hesitated slightly.

Because this teacher is a notoriously fastidious painter, he is not absolutely willing to paint works that do not suit his wishes.

So far, she has worked with very few works.

"It doesn't matter, I believe that with Miss Ben's work, this teacher will definitely agree to cooperate!"

Seeing that Yamada Irf was still so confident, Machida Enko was a little helpless, but she didn't say anything and nodded.

"Well, I'll get someone to contact this teacher. ”

After speaking, Machida Yuanzi looked at Xia You, and saw that he was flipping through the document with a little interest, and couldn't help asking:

"Mr. Natsu Aoku, isn't there a painter here that you think is suitable?"

"Not really, there are a lot of people I think are nice, it's just-"

Xia You paused.

"Just what?" Machida asked Machida Enko.

If Xia You is not satisfied with these painters, it doesn't matter, she can also find other painters.

Or contact directly, Xia You thinks the right painter is fine.

With the depth of Kadokawa Bunko, it is quite easy to reach out to people in the industry.

However, Machida Yuanzi didn't expect it, and the next moment, Xia You said in surprise: "I think I can just paint it myself." ”
