Chapter 185: Strike While the Iron Is Hot
After turning off the voice recorder, Kasumigaoka Shiha flicked the ends of her sideburns and handed the recorder in her hand to Machida Enko. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Machida editor, here you go. ”
"Thankyou, little poem~"
In a cheerful tone, Machida Enko took the recorder.
"Is this the end of the interview?" Xia You asked.
This is the first time he has interviewed the author, so he doesn't know exactly what the interview will look like.
It turns out that you only need to ask a few questions to OK?
Machida Enko smiled and nodded.
"Yes, that's fine, we will write a report based on your answer, Mr. Qing, and then cooperate with the library to publicize it. ”
"I see, then I'll ask Machida to edit you. Xia You nodded gratefully.
RE0 can have the current results, in addition to the support of many fans, Machida Enko has also provided a lot of help, and many things are due to her busyness.
Machida Yuanzi smiled, "It's nothing, it's our responsibility, Teacher Qing just needs to write seriously." ”
"Well, I know. Xia You also smiled and nodded.
Then, as if he remembered something, he looked around and asked:
"By the way, what about Yamada-sensei? Didn't she come over?"
It's been almost two weeks since I last saw Yamada Fairy, that is, Yamada Ilf.
Although they have exchanged mobile phone numbers and added LINE friends to each other, Xia You has never taken the initiative to contact her.
And Yamada Irf is the same.
Hearing this, Machida Enko smiled, "Yamada-sensei, she went on a trip with her uncle. ”
"Travel?" Xia You was a little surprised.
Because Yamada Irf gave him the image of a super lazy otaku girl, he couldn't see it, and it turned out that he would go out to travel.
Machida Enko nodded, "Well, I guess it will take a while to come back." What's the matter? Is there something wrong with Mr. Yamada?"
"Not really, just casually asking. ”
"Ah, Xia Youjun, could it be that you are the one under the age of the year?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu's fingers caressed Sakura's lips, and the corners of her mouth curved into a subtle arc.
"Ah, considering the actual age of Mr. Yamada, it should be said that it is an elementary school student?"
"Not really!"
"Isn't it?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu had a surprised expression.
"Of course not!" Xia You complained.
"Well, don't argue with the two teachers. "Machida Enko is playing a round game.
Then she looked at Xia You, "Teacher Qing, I wonder how the illustrations of Sword Art Online are being prepared now?"
"Huh?" Xia You's face froze.
"Haven't you started to prepare yet?" Machida Aenko was a little surprised.
Xia You gave her the feeling that she was the kind of person who did it super fast.
The previous illustrations of RE0 were also given to her less than a few days after they were commissioned.
Machida Yuanzi thought that the illustrations of Sword Art Online were the same, so she hadn't urged them for so many days, and seeing that Xia You never took them, she couldn't help but ask just now.
"Ah, well, I haven't started drawing yet. Xia You scratched his head a little embarrassed.
These days, because he was busy with various things, and he had to go to the café to work at night, he had forgotten about it.
"Are you in a hurry now?" asked Natsuyu, looking at Machida Yuanzi.
If you're really in a hurry, then Xia Youyou will go straight home and start drawing, and with his painting speed, he will probably be able to draw the illustration at night.
Hearing this, Machida Enko hurriedly waved his hand.
"Not really, there's plenty of time. ”
According to Kadokawa Bunko's plan, Sword Art Online is scheduled to be launched after RE0 goes on sale, and it will be launched after a wave of hot publicity, and the time is not very tight.
Of course, it is still necessary to prepare in advance to avoid delays in the rollout plan when the time comes.
In this way, it will take more time to miss the heat of the summer file and the excellent results that Sword Art Online wants to achieve.
This is also known as striking while the iron is hot.
So Machida Yuanko says:
"Although there is no hurry, I would like to ask Mr. Qing to start drawing illustrations as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, I got it. In a few more days, I'll bring the illustrations. Xia You nodded.
"Well, that's fine. ”
"Uh, wait a minute, Xia Youjun, can you explain to me what you are talking about?"
The conversation between the two was suddenly interrupted by a voice full of confusion.
The person who spoke was naturally Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
Her beautiful face was full of puzzlement.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu knows that in addition to RE0, Xia Yu has also written another work, Sword Art Online.
She had read it with RE0 before.
It's also a very good work.
After reading it, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was very amazed by Xia You's talent, you know, creating two extremely high-quality works at the same time is not an easy task.
But—
"Why is it that the topic is suddenly talking about illustrations?"
"Ah, speaking of which, I don't seem to have told you yet. Machida Enko looked like she had just remembered.
"Say what?"
"The illustrations of RE0 and Sword Art Online were actually drawn by Mr. Qing himself. ”
Machida Yuanzi said amazingly, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't react.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, that's-"
After some explanation by Machida Yuanzi, Kasumigaoka Shiyu understood.
But there was a burst of disbelief in her heart, she couldn't help but look at Xia You with beautiful eyes, "In other words, Xia Youjun, you can still paint?"
"Well, sort of. Xia You smiled.
“...... What a surprise. ”
Although what Xia Yu said was very unusual and different, Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who had known Machida Yuanko for nearly two years, knew that if she could approve and hand over the illustration to him, at least the level would never be low.
But thinking like this, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was surprised again.
Not only can I create excellent novels like RE0 and Sword Art Online, but I can also draw illustrations.
How many more things will this boy have?
Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but be curious.
"It's a pity that the illustration has been handed over to the editor-in-chief by me, otherwise I would be able to let you take a look at the poem~ The drawing is really great!"
As she spoke, Machida Enko seemed to remember something.
"Ah yes, I remember I had a backup, and I sent it back to Xiaoshi on your LINE, right?"
"Ahh ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded.
Looking up at the clock on the wall, and seeing that the time was almost twelve o'clock, Machida Enko smiled and said:
"Well, there's nothing going on now, Xiaoshi, Teacher Qing, you can hurry up and have lunch. ”
"Aren't Machida editors coming along?" asked Natsuyu.
"Hehe, I'm not so uninteresting~"
Machida Enko pursed her lips and smiled, and secretly glanced at Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
As a result, she was naturally glared at by her.
Machida Enko, who is familiar with her character, doesn't care either.
"You two go eat together, I still have some things to do, I'll go back to eat when I'm done." ”
"In that case, then-" Xia You looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu, "Sister Kasumigaoka, do you want to go to dinner together?"
"Hmm. Nodding, Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked away, "Just right, tell you something." ”
