"Gift?" Xia You raised his eyebrows slightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmm. ”

On the phone, Megumi Kato's soft voice came out, "It's rare to come to Hokkaido, so before I go back, I want to bring you some gifts." Is there anything you want to eat? ”

After a pause, she added, with a chuckle, "Of course, it can't be too expensive, otherwise I won't have enough savings~"

"Hmm...... So—"

Speaking of Hokkaido, Japan, the most representative is naturally its fresh seafood, such as blue tuna, offshore flounder, abalone, etc., all of which are super delicious.

Then there are rice, Tansuke watermelons, and flowers such as Ezo gentian, which are abundant due to the comfortable climate.

But none of these things can be easily brought back.

At the same time, the price is also on the high side.

So only Pass.

But in addition, for Hokkaido, Xia You really can't think of any specialties.

In addition, even if he wants to come up with it, it is difficult to choose one with his usual difficulty in choosing.

Seeing that he hadn't received a reply, it seemed that he understood Xia You's hesitation, so Megumi Kato put forward his own suggestion.

She said, "I remember, Xia You, you like sweets very much, right?"

"Well, yes. Xia You generously admitted.

"In that case, I'll buy you some sweets? Hokkaido's cream crackers are delicious. Megumi Kato said with a smile.

Xia You had no objection to this, so he also smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

After deciding on the gift, he was still thinking about what to talk about, but Megumi Kato took the lead and easily provoked a new topic.

"Anyway, what has Xia You been doing in the past two weeks?"

"I didn't do anything, I was basically just staying at home. As he spoke, Xia You yawned lightly.

Immediately, he added: "Last week, I was quite busy, and I have been painting with Ying Lili all the time. ”

Listening to Xia You's words, Megumi Kato was stunned for a moment, "Ying Lili?"

Immediately, after a few seconds, she reacted, "Ah, it's Sawamura-san~ Xia You suddenly called Sawamura-san by name, which made me a little unable to react." ”

"Having said that, did Xia You have such a good relationship with Sawamura? ”

"Ahh......h Well......"

Listening to Megumi Kato's somewhat subtle tone, for some reason, Xia You suddenly felt a little weak.

Although he himself did not know where this weakness of heart came from.

Xia You coughed lightly a little deliberately, and was about to explain, but Megumi Kato skipped this point lightly and asked instead, "So last week, Xia You-san was drawing with Sawamura-sama?"

Because the topic was changed, and he was about to blurt out an explanation, Xia You had to swallow it back.

"Hmm...... Oh, yes. ”

"Then Xia You is really an all-rounder, not only can he write novels, music, but now he can even paint?"

"Well, it's okay. ”

"What are you drawing? It's going to take a week to paint. ”

"Hmm......"

Xia You wanted to talk about painting books directly.

But then he remembered that Megumi Kato seemed to be the only person in the club who didn't know the identity of the book artist of Eiri Rikokou.

After all, before the summer vacation, in the club classroom, Xia You and the others only hurriedly discussed the game plan, and did not introduce each other.

And with Kato's low presence, Xia You estimates that Ying Li Li and Kasumigaoka Senpai may not have noticed her......

So he paused and said, "It may not be clear on the phone, but when Kato comes back, I'll tell you about it, right?"

Hearing this, Kato Megumi was a little puzzled, but she was not the kind of person who had to get to the bottom of it, so she replied with a smile: "Okay, I know." ”

Immediately, she remembered something, and asked curiously: "I remember that Xia You's novel is scheduled to be released during the summer vacation, right?

Xia You smiled, "It's okay, it's pretty good, now I can sell more than 10,000 copies a day." ”

"Wow, more than 10,000 copies? Megumi Kato's tone was slightly surprised.

"Well, but there will only be fewer and fewer in the future, and it's not that great. Xia You smiled bitterly.

That's true.

Compared with traditional novels and mystery novels, the potential and audience of light novels are really limited.

As time goes by, RE0's sales in the summer will only get lower and lower.

And the former, as long as it can increase publicity, sales will rise steadily, which is not difficult at all.

Hearing that Xia You's words were a little frustrated, Megumi Kato smiled slightly, "But it's already very powerful-it's the first time for Xia You to write a novel, so he can do it to this extent." ”

"Well, yes. Xia You was not modest, and smiled as if he was self-aggrandizing.

Immediately, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Ah yes, Kato, I told you before - RE0's novel, when you come back, I'll give you a copy." ”

As early as after RE0 participated in the Sneaker Newcomer Award and won the grand prize for pre-sale, Xia You had already pre-ordered two copies of RE0 and was ready to give one to Kato.

Now, the two pre-ordered books have also been delivered yesterday.

"Eh, is it okay?, great~" Megumi Kato's tone was a little undulating, "I'm still worried, if I go back too late, will the novels be sold out." ”

"No, you can buy these novels whenever you want. Xia You smiled, "But since I gave you a copy, then you don't have to buy it." ”

Megumi Kato nodded, "Well, thank you, Xia You." ”

"After all, I already said it. Natsu You smiled, didn't continue to talk about it, and asked, "What about you, Kato, is it fun to travel in Hokkaido?"

"It's fun, but during the summer vacation, Hokkaido is full of people, and it always bothers me when I travel with my parents. Megumi Kato said in a tone that was completely inaudible.

"That's right. ”

"Well, there's that—" Megumi Kato paused slightly, chuckled, and said, "I'm learning to write programs." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xia You couldn't help but be stunned and a little surprised.

Immediately, he recalled that on the last day before the start of the summer vacation, in the club classroom, because he couldn't find something to give Kato to do, Xia Yu casually entrusted Kato with the task of writing programs.

Then, I forgot about it.

If it weren't for Kato's mention, Xia You wouldn't have remembered it.

Unexpectedly, Kato actually took this matter to heart and took the time to study.
