Chapter Seventy-Seven: Retreat
Natsuyo still remembers that Machida Enko gave him the LINE accounts of Kasumi Shiko and Yamada Fairy last Sunday, asking him to add the two of them as friends. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
However, several days have passed, and until now, there is still no reply to the friend request sent in the past, as if it has been ignored.
This made Xia You quite puzzled, so he asked Machida Yuanzi.
On the phone, Machida Yuanzi said in a tone, "Haven't the two of them replied?"
In the past few days, due to the fact that RE0's data has been sluggish, Machida Yuanzi has been unsettled, so he didn't care much about Kasumi Shiko and the two, and he didn't know much about these things.
"Yes. Teacher Xia Shizi, something shouldn't happen to them, right?" Xia You asked with some concern.
Although Xia You has never seen Kasumi Shizi and Yamada Fairy, after all, they both belong to the same library and are still the same editor, so naturally they don't want anything to happen to the two.
In this regard, Machida Yuanzi's reply was very positive, "Well, this should be fine." β
"Is that so?"
"Yes, don't worry about them. Machida Machiko paused slightly, "Yamada-sensei only submitted the manuscript last Sunday, and I guess she should be playing games now, so I forgot what I told her about asking her to add your friends on the line." β
"Fighting, playing games?" Xia You was stunned.
"Well,Actually-Mr. Yamada Fairy is a heavy game nerd.,Because it's always delayed.,So I was forced to go to the code word and didn't play the game.,It was hard to hand in the manuscript on Sunday.γ β
Machida Enko's tone was a little crying and laughing.
"I guess she's just playing games like crazy, and in a few days, she should remember to go to line. β
"Well, I see. Xia You lifted his forehead slightly.
After listening to Machida Yuanzi, he remembered that the last time he went to Kayamada Fairy, he saw her line nickname as "I'm super strong when playing video games", the name of a super abandoned house.
In this way, this guy is really a dead house.
Huh
She?
Xia You only then reacted, it seems that Machida Yuanzi has always used "she" to refer to the Yamada goblin.
Some of you may not know that in Japanese, "he" and "she" are pronounced differently.
Soβ
"Yamada fairy teacher is a woman?"
"Hey, yes, what's wrong?" Machida Enko's tone was slightly confused.
"Uh, well, nothing. β
Xia You held his forehead, and there was a feeling that his worldview had collapsed again.
Seeing a girl in a workers' shop before, it once made him think "there are really everyone in the world".
This time, he always thought it was a colleague author of the game fat house.,I didn't expect it to be a woman!
Are you sure you're not kidding me?!
Although she was a little puzzled by Xia You's silence, Machida Enko didn't ask much, but continued: "As for Teacher Kasumiko's words, she should have been writing in retreat for the past few days, after all, her new book hasn't been written yet." β
Xia You's attention was pulled back suddenly, "Isn't Teacher Xia Shizi's new book ready yet?"
Machida Enko's tone was full of a wry smile, "yes, because she's been Kavinka for a long time this time, and she hasn't had a clue." β
I can't tell anyone about these things, so as not to cause trouble, but it doesn't matter if I talk to Xia You, after all, he, like Kasumi Shiko, is the author of Machida Yuanko herself.
Xia You was slightly surprised, "That's it, no wonder I didn't see Teacher Xia Shizi publish a new book." β
According to the testimonial he saw in the appendix of the final volume of the love metronome, Kasumi's new book should have been published a month ago, but there was no news.
"This time, she must have suddenly had an inspiration and decided to retreat temporarily, and it is estimated that it will take a few more days to come out. β
According to the custom, before deciding on the retreat codeword, Kasumi Shiko will first make a phone call to inform Machida Yuanzi, so that she will not be able to inform herself of anything.
But this time, Machida Yuanzi did not receive a notice, which means that Kasumi Shiko decided to retreat temporarily.
And this kind of situation usually occurs when inspiration bursts.
So Machida Yuanzi smiled: "When she comes out of retreat, she should notice the news on the line, don't worry." β
Xia You said yes, and then the two didn't say anything, and quickly hung up the phone.
After finishing the call with Machida Yuanko, Natsuyu returned to the classroom and sat down in his seat.
I didn't sit for long before I heard Megumi Kato say in a flat tone: "Classmate Xia You, it seems that you are in a good mood." β
Xia You was slightly surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Can you see it?"
"Slightly. β
"Wellβindeed, I'm in a good mood. β
Xia You paused, "Didn't I tell you before? β
On Monday, when he showed Kato the printed original RE0 manuscript, he told him about the fact that RE0 was submitted to the Sneaker Newcomer Award by Machida's editors.
"Is the situation getting better now?"
"Well, to be honest, I was about to give up before, but I didn't expect it to suddenly get better today, jumping from the bottom position to the top 100 on the list in one go. β
"Well, a hundredβ"
Megumi Kato's fingers tapped her lips, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.
But after a while, it turned back to a flat state.
"I don't quite understand how powerful this is, but it's getting better, right?"
"yes, and RE0's ranking is still rising, and it will get higher and higher. β
Xia You just looked at it with his mobile phone, and RE0 was no longer 100th, but 98th.
Although it is only two places advanced, you must know that this is a change that has only occurred in an hour, which is already very good.
In this way, maybe as Lun said, RE0 can really rush to the first place in the next week!
Of course, Xia You doesn't have much expectation for this.
After all, the works at the bottom of the list have a relatively small difference in data, which is why RE0 can surpass the past so quickly.
But as the ranking rises, when it reaches less than 50, it is not so simple to surpass other works, after all, the gap in their popularity is quite obvious.
Especially the top fifteen works, the data of any one is scared to death.
At least with the current RE0 data, if you want to compete with them, you have to at least multiply it by about 20 on the original basis.
Hearing Xia You say this, Megumi Kato pursed her lips and smiled, "That's really congratulations." β
Immediately, she paused slightly, "But it's normal for this novel written by Xia You to be popular, after all, it's really good-looking." β
The original manuscript that Xia You brought on Monday, Megumi Kato spent one night reading it, and it felt really exciting.
That's why when she heard that RE0 wasn't doing well at the Newcomer Awards and that it was likely that it wouldn't be published, she was very disappointed for a while, and felt that it was a pity that a work like this couldn't be published.
Now that she learns that RE0's condition is starting to improve, Megumi Kato is also sincerely happy for Natsuyu.
"Well, thank you. Natsu Yu smiled, and then, as if he remembered something, "Ah, by the way, Kato." β
"What's wrong?"
Xia You paused, "Didn't we say okay last week, when I start working, I'll find time to eat something together." β
