Chapter 197: Summer Season Begins!
Tuesday, August 3rd. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info summer file began.
Of course, it is said that it has begun, but in fact, in the Japanese novel industry, there is no actual definition of summer file.
There may be in the future, but until now, it's just an implicit rule, something that only anyone who knows about the industry will know.
Japanese elementary and junior high schools have a three-semester system.
There are holidays between each semester, which are summer, winter, and spring.
Depending on the school's schedule, the summer vacation starts early or late.
For example, the private Toyonosaki College where Xia Yu is located is the late one.
However, in recent years, under the regulation and control of the government, relevant policies have been introduced, which clearly stipulate that the holiday cannot exceed August 3 at the latest.
Because in the summer, this time is usually the hottest time.
In the same way, major companies in society will also give employees vacations one after another.
Of course, it can't be as long as a student's summer vacation, at most only a few days. But it's pretty good.
During these days of national vacation, close to the beginning of the month, most people have a lot of wages in their hands, which is a great time to make money.
Many stores, department stores, and other industries will carry out promotions.
The novel industry is no exception, and all major libraries and publishing houses are aiming at August 3 to launch new works and prepare to make a lot of money.
This has become the norm in recent years.
Over time, the period from August 3 to September 1 is called the summer file.
And Natsuyu's RE0, after participating in the Sneaker Newcomer Award and winning the grand prize, and setting a horror pre-sale result of more than 50,000 copies, was very valued by Kadokawa Bunko.
After discussion by the company's upper editors, it was also scheduled to be released on this day, allowing it to compete with many great writers.
Of course, because Xia You is still only a rookie writer, although he won the Sneaker Newcomer Award, he is still far inferior to those writers who have already become famous in terms of fame and influence.
If they go on sale on the same day, it will inevitably be affected a lot, and many readers will be diverted.
In other words, readers have to give up some of the books because they want to buy too many books, resulting in sales not as high as expected.
A few days ago, Kadokawa Bunko conducted a special author interview for Xia You.
And combined with the content of the interview, carry out large-scale publicity.
Not only did the illustrations of RE0 appear in the most conspicuous position on the official website, but they were also promoted online on well-known websites such as 2ch, Twitter, Youtube, etc.
Offline, do not forget to carry out large-scale publicity.
In short, all these actions are to build momentum for Xia You and the upcoming RE0.
With these actions, the summer season has finally arrived.
And at this moment, Xia You, who is the party concerned, is-
"It's hot...... The heat died ......"
Muttering in his mouth, Xia You, who was only wearing a vest and shorts, was lying on his back on the floor of the living room with blank eyes.
Beside him, the fan was whining from side to side.
Although the fan kept blowing cool breezes, it couldn't lower Xia You's temperature by half, and the sweat on his forehead became more and more.
The room was as stuffy as a steaming room, and the summer cicadas chirped wantonly outside the window.
"No..... If you stay here any longer, you're going to die of heat......"
That being said, Xia You, who was covered in sweat, didn't want to move at all.
I don't even want to do it when I turn over and let the fan blow my sweaty back.
"If I had known, I shouldn't have saved money and not installed air conditioners, I regret it......"
As early as Sunday, thinking that the weather would get hotter and hotter in the future, Xia You had thought about whether to install air conditioning.
But after thinking about it, I finally dismissed the idea.
Saving money is one of the considerations.
On the other hand, Xia You is not a person who sweats easily, he feels that as long as it is not too hot, it doesn't matter, blowing the fan is enough.
That's how he came before.
But as if a god heard Xia You's heart and wanted to play tricks on him, he turned up the temperature.
In just a few days, the weather suddenly warmed up.
As of today, the temperature has reached a maximum of 35 degrees.
"It's just going to be hot. ”
Because of the constant sweating, Xia You felt that his throat was dry like a fire, and he had to turn over, open the refrigerator and pour a cup of barley tea to drink.
"Goo-go ”
Drinking it in one gulp, the iced tea flowed down his throat, making Xia You feel much refreshed.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered, "Sure enough, let's go out, stay at home, it's too hot." ”
But if you want to go out, where can you go?
According to the usual habits, going to An Yilun's house must be the first choice.
The guy has air conditioning in his room, as well as all kinds of light novels, Galgames.
It's super cool to stay there and play games for an afternoon in such hot weather.
However, it's a pity that Lun Ye followed his parents back to his hometown a few days ago to escape the summer.
This seems to be the decision of the Ahn Yi couple.
As salarymen, they rarely had a vacation at the same time, so they decided to go back to the countryside to rest.
Even if An Yilun was a dead house like that, he couldn't resist his parents' orders, so he was forcibly dragged into the car and then driven away.
And Xia You, who was also present at the time, was dumbfounded, and could only say that the couple was really powerful.
Although before leaving, An Yilun also told Xia You that the keys to his house were hidden under the potted plants in front of the door.
If Xia You wants to go in, he can go in at any time.
But out of all considerations, Xia You still dispelled this idea and went home honestly.
As for Ayase's little angel, since the beginning of the summer vacation, he has gradually become busy.
Ayase's office always has a busy variety of activities that she needs to attend.
Of course, because it had been made before, Ayase didn't pick up that kind of swimsuit photo again, which made Xia You finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he also had some disappointment in his heart.
Even though Natsuyu hates letting people see Ayase's swimsuit, I have to say that the kid is really cute in a swimsuit.
She has fair skin, slightly bulging breasts, slender and tight thighs, and a cute and attractive swimsuit.
Coupled with the perfect smile of Ayase's little angel, it makes people want to lick it super ... Ahh
When I was buying painting tools before, the twenty or so TEEN magazines with Ayase photos that I bought in one go are now all collected by Xia You, and they are well placed in the cupboard, and I take them out and lick them from time to time... Ahh
Incidentally, the number of these collections is gradually rising.
Because Xia You went to buy a new issue of TEEN magazine, this issue of the little angel appeared with that guy Kirino.
