"So, let me explain the specific modification method!" Shi Yu, who had not spoken before, stood up at this time and said.

"Kasumigaoka-senpai-uh, Kasumi-sensei," Kirino looked at Shiyu in amazement and said, "Well, if it's for you to explain, there's no problem. ”

"So, let me explain," Shiyu indifferently glanced at Kirino and Kazuya and Eiri next to her, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, "Miss Machida, the editor of the novel that vetoed Miss Takasaka mentioned earlier, is my editor in charge, and she also mentioned Miss Takasaka's novel to me before, and for Miss Takasaka's novel, her opinion is that she wants to publish it as a side novel of my "Love Metronome". ”

"What do you mean?" Kirino's eyes widened in surprise, "But, my novel is obviously an original novel?" ”

"An original novel means that your character settings and plot are original," Kimura editor interjected at this time and added, "What Machida editor means is that the plot is still your own plot, but if Miss Takasaka can cooperate with us, the character setting of your character - well, mainly the character setting of the heroine is modified, and then in some necessary places, add some interaction with the original work, the main plot is still Miss Takasaka's own plot, so that's it." ”

"No, I still don't quite understand what you want me to change." Kirino's face turned pale and she said intermittently, obviously, even if she was ready to make drastic revisions to her novel, she couldn't accept the somewhat domineering revisions of the current Myster Library.

"I'm sorry, Editor Kimura, and Kasumiko-sensei, can you explain your request in detail?" Kazuya frowned, he originally hoped that he could convince Shiyu to help Kirino so that Machida editor could open up to Kirino, but obviously, the current situation is that Shiyu is obviously on the same side as Machida editor, which can't help but make Kazuya feel a little dissatisfied with Shiyu.

"This guy, when did he become this kind of person who doesn't care about the feelings of his juniors and friends at all for his own interests? Even if there was no way to connect the author with Kirino when I was reading the novel at the time, why would I make such a request now that I see this situation? Kazuya secretly complained while trying to restrain his expression.

"That's right, for Miss Takasaka's novel, Machida's editor has made such a comment before, well, that is—" Kimura said with some slurring.

"--Then let's talk about Miss Machida's evaluation!" Kazuki said impatiently, Kazuya can be seen that although this Kimura looks really scary, but the actual character should be the character of a good old man, and he can vaguely feel this from the beginning when he has been trying to ease the atmosphere in the meeting room.

"Well, Machida's editor-in-chief's evaluation is: the product of self-satisfaction of a typical online novel, and it has no publication value at all."

"Wow! This guy's evaluation is really merciless! Kazuya opened his mouth and sighed secretly. Of course, in fact, in fact, his evaluation of Kirino's novel is actually similar, the bitch-type heroine in Kirino's novel that makes people feel a little desperate, can still be sought after by so many boys, and even generated enough popularity as a mobile phone novel, which in itself surprised him, of course, he is now a supporter of Kirino on this side and does not dare to make this kind of evaluation.

"Nonsense-" Kirino's face became even paler, although the criticism her novel had received before was not small, but this evaluation came from the editor-in-chief of an editorial department, and it was the editor-in-chief of the editorial department that might decide whether her novel could be published, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, "But, but, even if there are many people who like to read it, the popularity of my novel is also high enough!" ”

"Yes, that's how we persuaded the editor-in-chief Machida," Kimura said with some embarrassment, "but the editor-in-chief Machida emphasized that the heroine of such a novel is too easy to arouse social criticism, and the heroine's kind of over-uh, free and casual appearance looks a little too rebellious, and the self-entertainment of mobile novels is naturally okay, but if you want to take the road of commercialization, you may need to make some corrections to the heroine's character." Another point is that the relationship between the heroine and the adult uncle is also easy to make the Ethics Association question, which is a flaw of publishing. Moreover, although the final transformation of the heroine is very good, if it is published as a light novel, it is difficult for this character at the beginning to attract new readers, or to attract new readers, but will be dissatisfied with the final transformation, these are the points that light novels published by volume are different from mobile serialized novels. ”

"So, all you need to do is change that, right?" Kazuya asked, "Kirino's novel is indeed a little too casual in these aspects, which is also what your editorial department needs to point out when publishing the physical book, and then Kirino needs to revise it, why do you want to make Kirino's novel an accessory to the novel of Shiyu-senpai-En, Teacher Xia Shizi?" ”

"However, do you think that if these seemingly messy aspects of Miss Takasaka were modified to become a decent girl's romance novel, would Miss Takasaka's novel still have such a high popularity?" Shi Yu's cold voice interjected, making everyone not only stunned.

"It should be- no problem, right?" Kazuya replied subconsciously, but he was a little surprised to find that Kirino and Yingli Pear beside him had already lowered their heads with some ugly faces.

"It seems that you are the only one who has this opinion!" Shiyu smiled and said, "Mr. Takasaka, you should have read your sister's novels, but, as a man, you still don't understand the attraction of these female-oriented novels!" Just as you men will like a very domineering male protagonist, girls will also want this kind of free and unrestrained female protagonist, although the logic of the pathetic patriarchal hegemony in this world leads to the fact that Miss Takasaka's novels will end habitually ending with a pure love - the so-called women must also be attached to the logic of men in the end, which makes people feel a little sad, but at least the freedom of the heroine we see in Miss Takasaka's novels, It's what keeps her novels so popular when they're serialized on their phones. ”

"So, what Kasumi Shizi meant, if you simply modify these things, then the popularity of this novel will disappear, right?" Kirino lowered his head and said with some bitterness.

"Well, that's what Machida editors said," continued Kimura, who was always in charge of concluding remarks, "and our Myster Bunko is now aiming to enter the market of youth romance novels, although it is a bit rude for Miss Takasaka to say this - of course, it is also an affirmation of Miss Takasaka, we chose Miss Takasaka's "Sister Sora" as a physical book adapted from a mobile novel, officially because we noticed the popularity of "Sister Sora", but its popularity seems to be based on the category that physical books do not allow. This makes the materialization of "Sister Kong" seem very embarrassing! After all, Mystery Library doesn't have much experience in this area, and if the first novel is not successful, it will have a great impact on the evaluation of the industry and the continuation of creation. ”

"Well, that's understandable." Kazuya nodded and said, he also had to admit that if it was a library like Fantastic Bunko with sufficient publishing experience and reputation, then the failure of the materialization of a novel could still be afforded, but for the Mysterious Bunko, which was in the embryonic stage in this regard, it was not like this, and at this time, Machida, as the general director, in pursuit of stability, rejected the plan for the materialization of Kirino's novel to be rejected.

"However, there is a circumstance in which the premise of Ms. Takasaka's novel can ignore the problems mentioned earlier, that is, if the heroine's personality has formed an inherent impression among the general public before, then her previous image will only give the reader a feeling even if it does not conform to the impression we are accustomed to. The curiosity of how this girl changed from the previous image to such a 'curiosity and continued to chase, because there is already an expectation that the final image of the heroine is a positive image, then the group of people in the Ethics Association will not be suspicious of the detours she took before, but will think that this is a necessary process of transformation of the heroine's image. Taking Kazuya's words, Shiyu said.

"That's why you want "Sister Kong" to become a side novel of "Love Metronome", right?" And also somewhat understand the meaning of Shiyu's expression.

"I'm a little too proud to say that," Shiyu said with a slight smile, "but I think everyone here has seen my Love Metronome, right?" So, I think you should also understand that a popular female character other than the two heroines has a setting that is somewhat similar to the setting of the heroine of Miss Takasaka's novel, right? ”

"Well, an avid supporter of Sayuka, who is one level lower than Sayuka, of course, was a girl who was Sayuka's rival in the club before, Sayuri Suzuki, right? Although there was a more bitch atmosphere everywhere at the beginning, as the plot progressed, in fact, readers can clearly find that she still has her own pure persistence in her heart, and she feels that she did have a very complicated experience in the middle school period! "What is a little surprising is that the first person to answer this question is Ying Lili, who feels that she has never cared about Shiyu's situation at all.

And looking at Kazuya and Kirino, and even Shi Yu's somewhat surprised gaze, Ying Lili couldn't help but blush, and said, "What are you doing!" Hey, I just have a better memory, so I don't mean that I've watched "Love Metronome" five or six times, and I can remember every plot! Well, I just coincidentally, coincidentally remembered! ”

"Well, thank you so much for remembering it, this one, Miss Girlfriend." Shiyu nodded lightly, also because the two sides are communicating with each other now, so they didn't continue to tease Yingli Li, but simply agreed, and said, "That's right, it's Sayuri Suzuki, although I didn't want to give her too many stories when I created this character, but the high popularity of this character, it feels like it's really a bit unexpected to me, when I was in the fantastic library before, the editorial department has always had the suggestion of creating Sayuri's biography novels, But because I didn't have this idea, and "Love Metronome" wasn't over, I never agreed. ”

"It's true that if you're writing a Gaiden novel by Sayuri, I feel that with the popularity of "Love Metronome" and the popularity of the characters themselves, it won't be too eye-catching, but it should have no problem becoming a successful work. , which would also be a successful start for the Mystery library. Kazuya thought to himself from the perspective of the Mysterious Library.

"But after watching Miss Takasaka's "Sister Sora", I think that as long as I modify part of the plot and setting a little, and then become the setting of Sayuri, it will actually be quite emotional! I even think that the plot of Miss Takasaka's novel can be said to be tailor-made for Sayuri, and even if I had to think about the plot of Sayuri myself, I might not be able to think of a plot more suitable for Sayuri than Miss Takasaka's. ”

"Well, although it's a little strange to say this, but Teacher Xia Shizi, you still have an overreputation." Kirino scratched his head a little embarrassed and said.

"So, Miss Takasaka, is it okay for me to invite you, as the author of the novel of "Love Metronome", to be the author of the story of Sayuri Suzuki, the side story of "Love Metronome"?"

"Well, "Sister Kong", can't it be published by other means?"

"Although I can't say that it will definitely not work," Kimura editor smiled a little awkwardly and said, "but it may still be difficult to change it to meet the requirements of Machida's editor-in-chief, and even if the adaptation is really successful, and the approval of Machida's editor-in-chief, we have no way to estimate, so the proposal of Machida's editor-in-chief and Kasumi-sensei's teacher to write a foreign biography novel should be the least risky and the most likely to make Takasaka-sama's novel a physical book." ”

"Well, if that's the case—" Kirino bit her lip a little unwillingly, closed her eyes, and said.

"--Then let's think about it a little more!" Kazuya mercilessly interrupted Kirino and said.

"Uh, Kazuya—ah, brother?" Kirino stared at Kazuya with wide eyes.

"If possible, of course it's best to publish an original work, right? Right? Kirino "Kazuya asked with a wink at Kirino .

"Uh, yes, I guess so." Kirino also lowered her head and pursed her lips.

"So, I hope we can think about it a little more!" Kazuya stood up and nodded at Kimura Editor and Shiha.

"Well, I understand your thoughts," Kimura nodded, "and then there is a week left before the next editorial planning meeting, and hopefully we will get your final answer in this week's time!" ”

"Unfortunately, I thought this would be a good solution!" Shiyu also stood up and shook her head with regret.

"But if there's a better solution, why not try it?" Kazuya looked at Shiyu and asked solemnly.

"You're a stupid guy!" Looking at Kazuya, whose expression was unmoved, Shiyu closed his eyes and complained softly in a voice that no one could hear, "You know, I've worked hard too!" ”
