As usual, every time a club video conference is held, time will always pass unconsciously because of a series of dispensable little things such as bickering and poisonous tongues.

It wasn't until the time when ordinary people were almost supposed to turn off the lights that everyone finally dragged out their business.

"Anyway-my new book is over, and then it's the turn of Senior Sister Shiyu and the two of you, come on. ”

Clenched his fists, Xia You cheered for the two girls.

According to the schedule previously set by Kadokawa Bunko, when the second volume of SAO and RE0 is both released, it will be the turn of Kasumigaoka Shiha, that is, Kasumi Shiko's "One Hundred Pa of Innocence" to be released.

The specific release time is scheduled for next Wednesday morning. At that time, she will also hold a book signing.

As for Black Cat's "Friends of the Week", it's even further. It's next week, and it's already October.

"Understood. ”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu and the black cat didn't look at each other, but they nodded in tacit understanding and answered in unison.

Seeing this, Xia You didn't say more, and asked instead: "Then again, Senior Sister Shiyu, you have to run propaganda with the editor Machida in the past two days, right?"

Although he didn't bother to ask, Xia Yu still heard a lot of things from Machida Yuanzi.

For example, in order to stabilize sales and ensure the smooth holding of the next book signing, this Saturday and Sunday, as the creator Kasumigaoka Shiha, has to cooperate with many bookstores in the prefecture to promote it.

"Well, that's right......"

Nodding in response, Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked dejected and helpless. Or maybe it would be more accurate that she was weak, and even the usual inherently defiant, tired smile disappeared.

Because Kasumigaoka Shiyu has always been a girl who is very afraid of trouble.

The trouble is that if you can push it, you can push it, and if you can't push it, you can simplify it.

For this reason, although she has debuted for more than a year, and even her debut work "Love Metronome" has been over for several months, she has not held any reader signings. Every time Machida Enko asked, she would find all kinds of excuses to refuse.

However.

This time, she really couldn't find the right excuse to refuse. He was given an ultimatum by Machida Enko.

So, I had no choice but to agree.

However, Kasumigaoka Shiyu is both a girl who is very afraid of trouble, and at the same time a very professional writer. She knew exactly what she had to do. Since she has agreed to Machida Yuanzi to hold a signing meeting, she will not procrastinate and be absent-minded.

In addition, Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't want Xia You to worry too much, so she quickly restrained her look. The previous discouragement meant that it was gone.

The usual playful chuckle reappears on his face.

She blinked.

"But, you can rest assured, I won't let the progress of the game script fall behind just because I'm busy. ”

When Xia You heard this, he couldn't help but wave his hand funny.

"Ah, that's fine. It's true. If you're too busy, Senior Sister Shiyu, it's okay to put it down a little bit these days. Just make it up later. ”

In fact, the game has been produced so far, not to mention the original art, music, and programming, and the script is still very fast to complete. We are now more than halfway through the process.

Judging from the efficiency that Senior Sister has been maintaining, Xia You estimates that in a few weeks at most, the script should be completely completed.

Then urge Ying Lili and them to do their best to liver original painting, programming, etc., and the game will be completed.

Finally – wait until it's released on the Winter Comic.

"Well, I know, I'm measured at work. In short, you don't have to worry too much. ”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu replied nonchalantly. Then, as if switching topics, her conversation changed abruptly.

A charming smile that can charm thousands of seating beings blooms.

"Compared to these, Xia Jun, let's talk about the reward after the completion of the task, right? As I said before, after the script is written, you will meet one of my requests-I guess you haven't forgotten this, right?"

In the video screen, Kasumigaoka's Shiyu fingers are plain white, stretching one by one, and then lightly touching the red and tender lips. She smiled lightly at Xia You.

This action looks both innocent and charming. The two completely different temperaments are intertwined, which adds a bit of temperament to the Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

And her words also made Xia You stunned.

No, rather, it stunned everyone. Even Megumi, who had been playing mobile games with her head down, raised her head slightly and looked over.

The women looked at each other in amazement.

"What? Did you two talk about this in private? I haven't heard of it at all!"

The first to fire was naturally Sawamura Eiriri, who had always been unable to resist agitation, and it was easy to blow up.

With an expression of disbelief on her face, she glanced back and forth at Xia You and Kasumigaoka Shiyu. Especially the former. As if trying to see something in his face.

However......

Xia You himself is also at a loss.

The only thing that can be seen from his face is probably the word 'confused'.

"Wait a minute—Senior Sister Shiyu, did I tell you anything like this?"

Xia You had to stop, lest the situation become more and more chaotic. At the same time, he also wanted to appease the defeated dogs in the fried hair.

"Of course there is......! Have you forgotten about it, or are you going to go back on it after using me as a laborer, and then kick me away?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu has a weak woman's tone that has been abandoned from the beginning to the end. There was also a sad expression on that plain face.

Although he knew that Senior Sister Shiyu was 100% pretending, seeing her sad look, Xia You, who was already a ghost in her heart because she almost pushed her sister, couldn't help but shed a little cold sweat.

'Could it be that there really is such a thing, just because I've been so busy lately that I forgot?'

He thought about it.

Think about it.

Try to remember.

But...... Still can't remember.

"Uh, I'm sorry, Shiyu-senpai—that, are you sure I really said that?"

"I'm sure. ”

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's answer was unhesitating and decisive.

Of course, this time she was not as negligent as she was just now, and she had restrained her happy smile well, so as not to be seen through by anyone again.

Seeing this, Xia You couldn't help but hesitate a little. According to his experience, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's words are nonsense nine times out of ten, just to trick him.

Because with his own golden finger memory ability, it is unlikely that he will not be able to remember the agreement with his senior sister.

But Xia You thought about it for a while, "Well, forget it." Senior Sister Shiyu has not taken any help to make the game until now, and there is nothing wrong with giving a little reward. ’

So he nodded.

"Alright then, I can grant you a request. ”
