took out his mobile phone to look, Xia You glanced at it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, it was an email from Machida Yuanzi.

"Hmm, what's the matter with the sudden email?"

Natsuyo muttered. Although he has known Machida Yuanzi for a long time, unlike Senior Sister Shiyu, the relationship between the two of them is not very close, and most of the correspondence between the two is about work, and rarely involves personal matters.

If you want to use one sentence to describe the impression that Machida Yuanzi gave Xia Yu, it is probably to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

But Xia You didn't wonder for long, and soon, as if he remembered something, he said 'oh', and then opened the email.

"Teacher Qing, do you have time in the afternoon? If it's okay, let's meet." Regarding the second volume of Sword Art Online and RE0, which will be released in a few days, I have something to discuss with you again."

"That's what I said. ”

Natsuyo shrugged. Actually, for a long time, Machida Yuanzi has been discussing the sequel with him.

After all, it has been more than a month since the release of the first volume of "Sword Art Online" and "RE0". It's also time to launch the second volume and consolidate the popularity.

In addition, during this period, the sales of both the former and the latter have been rising, and a few days ago, they both set a new monthly sales record for new works of Kadokawa Bunko.

For this achievement, whether it is Xia Yu, Machida Enko, or the editor-in-chief of Kadokawa Bunko, they are all very satisfied, and even called it a surprise. It is also for this reason that the sequels of these two are valued very seriously by the library.

That's why, obviously as early as before, Xia Yu sent both the manuscripts to Machida Yuanzi, but Kadokawa Bunko has been pressing the reason for not sending it. They took the trouble to review and revise the manuscript, and even the illustrations were discussed repeatedly to make them perfect.

In this regard, although Xia You felt that it was not necessary, he could understand their caution.

If the second volume of "Sword Art Online" and "RE0" is written, it will be able to stabilize its current popularity, and increase sales through publicity, and one day become the pillar of Kadokawa Bunko. But once the writing is poor, it will fall off the altar, and it will even attract countless sunspots, and it will be sprayed to the ground.

After all, as the saying goes, 'the higher you stand, the harder you fall'. Not to mention these two works, they are almost the hottest in today's light world. If the quality of the second volume drops, it will definitely be sprayed miserably.

However, his family knows his own affairs, and as a copyist, Xia You has never worried about the quality, not to mention that he has repeatedly revised it many times during this time.

Although it cannot be said that there are no more revisions, it should still be much higher than the completion of the first volume, at least it is more than enough to be published.

So Xia You replied to the email.

"Okay, I see, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, but I still have to go to school, so the meeting time is scheduled after school, right?"

"Well, okay, that's the same place, is it still the same café from before, no problem?"

"No problem. 』

The café that Machida Enko said,Xia You has also been to many times.,Every time there was something to talk about at work before.,The two of them were there.。

It's not far from Toyonosaki, it's five stops by train, and if you don't get stuck in traffic, you can get there in about 20 minutes.

"Oh also, the sequel to Xiaoshi is about to be released, so I also asked her to meet, why don't you two come over together in the afternoon, they're both in the same school anyway~"

"Okay. 』

The mail was cut off at this point, and Machida Enko did not reply to the letter.

And Xia You didn't care, the way he got along with Machida Yuanzi was like this, he was businesslike and never.

In fact, if they want to talk about it, they have nothing to talk about.

After all, the age gap is too big, Machida Yuanzi is thirty years old, and Xia You is not a mature woman's type, he still prefers soft girls, so he never considered having an affair with the editor.

Of course, not only Xia You doesn't look down on her, but Machida Yuanzi is not good at Xia You's type. According to her, she still prefers strong scholars to weak scholars......

Thinking about it, Xia You shook his head, drove the superfluous thoughts out of his mind, and then sent an email to Senior Sister Shiyu on his mobile phone, and made an appointment with her to meet Machida Yuanzi after school in the afternoon.

After the email was sent, there was no reply, and Xia You was not in a hurry. For a while, Kasumigaoka Shiyu may not have seen it, but if she sees it, she will always reply.

So Xia You turned the phone to vibrate and withdrew his pocket.

"Jingle bells. ”

At this time, the class bell rang, and it was already half past eight. Before the bell stopped, a young girl walked into the classroom alone, her ponytail flicking around.

Well, today's passerby heroine still stepped into the classroom.

…

Although the school curriculum is a bit boring and feels useless, for the purpose of graduation, Xia You still listens to the lectures and tries to keep his grades at the level of not failing the subject.

After all, he didn't want to wait for the future to become more famous, and he was exposed to a scandal similar to 'shocked, the famous family Qingkong Xia didn't even finish high school'.

And just like that, the lesson passed quickly.

After Teacher Jing announced the end of class, Xia Yu talked to Megumi Kato and asked her to help a little.

- Pick up Mahahiro after school in the afternoon.

This was originally one of Xia You's daily tasks, and it was the obligation of the owner of the breeder, but because he made an appointment with Machida Yuanzi to meet, he naturally couldn't take care of both ends, so he had to ask someone else to temporarily replace the owner's obligations today.

As for the object of please, it is naturally Megumi Kato, and there is no more suitable person than her at the moment. In addition, Megumi has a high affinity with Mashiro, so there is no need to worry about the latter not going with her.

But after asking for it like this, Megumi Kato's response was a little unexpected for Xia You.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I have something to do this afternoon. ”

Megumi Kato said apologetically. Her voice is soft and soft, like cherry blossoms blooming in spring, listening to people's ears, can quickly soothe the anger in the heart.

However, Xia You was not angry, but it was just a little surprised.

"Well, I'll send an email to Ayase later, and let her pick up Mashiro as well. ”

Or maybe Rita can do it. Xia You believes that she will be happy to pick up Mahaku when she finds her, after all, these two girls are in a 'bed and sleep' relationship. However, considering that Rita doesn't know the way very well, she may not know where Shuiming High School is, so forget it.

"Then again, Kato, since you have something to do in the afternoon, can you still come to the villa to participate in club activities?"

Xia You asked casually. Since he is used to eating dinner made by Ayase and Megumi Kato, he always feels uncomfortable if there is a sudden lack of a girl tonight.

Oh, if you count Rita, it's actually not less, and it just makes up for it.

"Probably not. After thinking about it, Megumi Kato shook his head and said, "I have to go home directly after school in the afternoon, because my cousin came to the house today as a guest, but my parents have something to do temporarily, so I have to go out to dinner with him." ”

"Oh... That's ......."

After hearing this, Xia You always felt that his mood was a little delicate, and even his voice was a little weak.

Megumi Kato didn't seem to notice this, and she continued, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Keiichi's cousin for a long time, maybe a few months, right? ”

"Moreover, Cousin Keiichi also bought a movie ticket in advance and is going to watch a movie after dinner, so I'm really looking forward to it. ”

"Oh......"

Xia You is even more powerless.

He finally understood what it was like to be a sufferer...... Of course, it's not that exaggerated, but it's still a little depressing.

I believe that anyone who hears the girl next to him say that she is looking forward to going to the movies with another boy should feel a little uncomfortable, right?

emmmmm, although it is just a cousin, but ......

Japanese cousins, can they get married?!

Thinking of this, Xia You was even more depressed. He opened his mouth for a long time, and somehow, he squeezed out such a sentence.

"Than... Are you looking forward to going out together next Saturday?"

"Huh?"

Megumi Kato was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she stroked her lips with her fingers and said slowly, "Hmm... It's hard to answer this when you suddenly ask me, because I didn't think to compare it to me......"

"But ......"

She paused, and shrugged her shoulders as Xia You usually did: "Let's just say it...... When I say 'looking forward to it', I mean I'm looking forward to watching that movie. ”

"It's... That's ......."

As soon as he heard this, Xia You was immediately embarrassed, and coughed a few times: "I... Of course I know, it's not because I think you're going out with other boys, so I'm a little jealous, don't get me wrong. "His ears are red.

"Yes yes~"

Megumi Kato's usual casual answer, just......

Her tone this time, how did it sound, and it felt a little pleasant?

Before Xia Yu could reminisce clearly, Megumi Kato continued: "Speaking of which, Keiichi's cousin is not considered another boy, is he?

"Well..."

She suddenly turned her head away and said, "But...... It's not strange that Xia You thinks about this relationship crookedly. ”

Somehow, Megumi Kato's tone changed again, and this time it was a little prickly. But because she turned her face away, Xia You couldn't see what her expression was like at the moment, but the corners of her mouth slightly retracted.

"For... Why is it strange that I am the only one who wants to be crooked?"

"That's where you have to ask yourself. ”

Megumi Kato didn't look at him and said.

Today's passers-by are at the same table, a little unhappy.
