The controversy about Shi Yu's new work continues on the Internet, and it is not a good thing for Shi Yu to have an argument, after all, as a popular writer who is in the limelight, the best way for Shi Yu to promote it is to crush all competitors with undoubted word of mouth, but obviously, Shi Yu has made a mistake here.

If there was no spoiler of Kazuya, Shiyu's situation might have been better, but with the comparison of Kazuya's work, which is also a "depressed comedy", the controversy of Shiyu's novel has been magnified.

There were even offensive posts on the Internet, such as "It's also a transformation, why did Aagaki and Teacher do so well as soon as they debuted, but Teacher Kasumi Shiko didn't do a good job, is this because Teacher Kasumi Shiko is standing still" and attracted many comments.

And I don't know whether these similar offensive posts were spontaneously formed.,Or fantastic library took advantage of the chaos to hype.,Judging from the large-scale temporary propaganda of fantastic library to himself before.,The publicity department of the library is almost very set in the use of these.,So,And also feel that this kind of naked contrast and offensive posts,The possibility of coming from the hands of the library is very high.,Of course,For this situation,Although he has a vague sense of guilt because he offended Shi Yu., However, in this regard, he remained silent.

After a week of changes in this situation, the Mystery Library finally responded to Shiyu's work.

"Teacher Xia Shizi believes that creating the most satisfactory works is the focus of her writing, if she blindly pursues the market effect, then Xia Shizi will not have the current high-quality achievements."

This is the official explanation given by the Mystery Library.,Basically means that the library acquiesces to the fact that Shiyu's new work is not a light comedy.,This approach of the Mystery Library,It's a rather ruthless approach.,Decisively abandon that part of the readership that has fantasies about light comedy.,And use this life.,Consolidate the existing readership that Shiyu himself has formed.,Shiyu's "Create a satisfactory work" statement,Although it's very unfavorable to attract new fans., But at least it will settle down Shiyu's already existing fixed fan base, and as long as Shiyu's existing fans are not lost, although he can't get a good start in the opening game of Myster Library, at least a safe result can be guaranteed.

However, this also means that Machida and Shiyu have actually accepted the result that their first shot was unsuccessful, and then, the status of the two people who were airborne in the Mystery Library will be subject to great suspicion, and Kazuya believes that if Kirino's novel is handed over to the Mystery Library at this time, Machida will not be able to play that decisive role.

Of course,Now that he has completely torn his face with Machida and Myster Library,He won't think about re-looking for Mystery Bunko to submit.,His eyes have been cast on Fantastic Bunko.,Because,A week later,The initial sales of the novel have come out-

Dividing line-

"Aragaki sensei, congratulations, the sales in the first week are 20,000 copies, which is already an amazing result for a new writer, you know, the first week of Kasumi Shiko's novel sold less than 1,000 copies, almost halved!" Editor Kiyotake greeted Kazuya, who came to the editorial office, with a happy face, and said excitedly, "Just now, the editor-in-chief asked me to discuss, about the publication of Mr. Aragaki's next novel, the editor-in-chief said that if Mr. Aragaki needs it, he can go to a more famous illustrator, and the first printing of the next novel will also increase, and the publicity work in the early stage will be more sufficient." ”

Kazuya looked at Qingwu who wanted to shake out all the good news in the book helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Another question, how much is the sales volume of Teacher Xia Shizi's works. ”

"Well, this one," Qingwu frowned and said, "Although we haven't gotten any specific information from Myster Library, according to our estimates, the decimal sales of Kasumi Shiko-sensei are about 25,000 copies, which is still a little more than Aragaki sensei, but considering that Kasumi Shiko-sensei's popularity base value is much higher than Aragaki sensei, so I don't think Aragaki sensei needs to care too much about this number-"

"-It's okay, I know, I didn't expect to surpass Shiyu in sales--Well, Ms. Kasumiko-sensei, if my sales are 20,000 copies, and her sales are 30,000 copies, that's a victory for me." Kazuya interrupted Kiyotake's apologetic speech and said.

――Of course,A cannon fodder can play such a big role in blocking,It's still great to open the way for the next sister's work.,This time the myster library,Ambitious to debut in a new field.,The final result is not very satisfactory!

However, for me, the result of all this is not the goal, and this achievement should at least give me a voice in the editorial department, and at least the ability to recommend the editorial department to review a novel, right? Kazuya secretly calculated.

"Uh, Aragaki sensei, so your opinion is that you should start preparing the outline of the second volume of "Yusho" right now? Or do you mean—"

"――Before that, can you let me meet with the editor-in-chief? Anyway, I was also the writer he was responsible for before, so it's not difficult to meet him now, right? Kazuya sighed and said.

"Well, that's what Aragaki Sensei thinks." Qingwu looked at Kazuya with some concern, but in the end, he still honestly conveyed Kazuya's thoughts-

Dividing line-

The meeting with the editor-in-chief,It's much easier than Kazuya imagined.,Although I somewhat expected the role of cannon fodder that "Friends Less" might play.,But the unusually tenacious combat effectiveness of this cannon fodder still makes Mr. Editor-in-Chief very happy.,Although Machida has jumped ship.,Kazuya's success can't be a direct means for the current editor-in-chief to fight competitors.,But,After all, it's his own strength to defy public opinion.,Made the plan for the publication of Kazuya's novel.,This unexpected achievement., also made him, who had just secured the position of editor-in-chief, have a capital to show off from the beginning, so when Kazuya took the initiative to ask to meet him, Mr. Editor-in-Chief's narrowed eyes were naturally not false.

And Kazuya's side-to-side expression "If you can, I hope to recommend a novel to Mr. Editor-in-Chief for publication",The other party also recognized,At least,In addition to the series of crises encountered on the day of the novel's publication,Kato's suggestion to Kazuya is proceeding in an orderly manner.,Next,It's just a matter of persuading the editorial department to publish Kirino's novel.,In Kazuya's view,It's not difficult at all.,Publishing a popular mobile phone novel or online novel itself is not a difficult thing., The fact that it was abandoned by the Mystery library was easy to convince the editor-in-chief, and when everything was in place, Kazuya finally dialed Kirino for the first time since the publication of Kirino's novel failed.

Through the news obtained by Ayase's side knock on the side,Kirino has at least been much less enthusiastic about using mobile phones recently.,This is obviously cutting the time for the update of mobile phone novels.,Although in Ayase's opinion, the state of Kirino who is no longer addicted to mobile phones has changed.,But Kazuya understands,The failure of the novel's publication,The blow to Kirino is definitely not just what she shows on the surface.,More obviously,It's the exhaustion of that creative enthusiasm.,And this kind of exhaustion,It's a terrible thing.。

So, when he dialed Kirino's phone, Kazuya was ready for Kirino to refuse to answer his call, but he was also ready to use all his thoughts to tell her that he had won her a new opportunity.

However, to Kazuya's surprise, there was no silent refusal as imagined, Kirino quickly answered his phone, and even, from her steady tone, Kazuya didn't seem to hear too much depressed emotion, which also had to make Kazuya feel that this girl, showing her best side in front of others has been deeply rooted in her bone marrow.

"And, well, Aragaki senpai? Hello, is there anything you can do with me? ”

However, Kirino's obvious unfamiliarity with himself, as well as the deliberate sense of distance, still made Kazuya aware of the other party's rejection and unforgiveness of himself.

"I'm sorry, Kirino, it took so long to call you to explain." After being silent for a long time, Kazuya decided to point out the topic with Kirino straight to the point.

"It doesn't matter, in fact, I can almost guess what Aragaki senpai went to do that day, and I like the gift that Ayase gave me."

"Ah, that's it!" Kirino's words made Kazuya obviously stunned, and then, he finally reacted, although he didn't take these issues into account at the time, but as long as he calmly analyzed it afterwards, all the situations were almost ready to come out, and he didn't help Kirino because he wanted to accompany Ayase, and Ayase gave Kirino the gift that could only be obtained by participating in the cosplay competition that day, Kirino is not a fool, for this matter, she may not know how much of a role Kanako played, But she can still guess what Kazuya did in it.

As for why I didn't talk to Ayase about it, it's probably because I want to take care of my good friend's "the other party is still in the dark" unexpectedly good mood!

"Besides, Aragaki Senpai also asked Eiri Senpai to help me at that time, didn't he? So, in conclusion, Aragaki didn't owe me anything, and the problem that day was more of a problem that my own ability was not enough. ”

Kirino 's calm tone,Let and also a little uncomfortable.,Since the first time we met, I was a little brain-dead to debunk Kiri's disguise.,Kirino has always been that unscrupulous temperament in front of herself.,Even if you need to pretend in front of others.,She has also formed an unscrupulous habit in front of herself.,And now Kirino is the top student Kirino in the eyes of others.,But,It's not the Kirino that Heya is used to.。

Unconsciously, everyone was moving away from themselves, everyone began to keep their distance from themselves, and Kazuya suddenly had such a strange feeling. Until a week ago, the conversation between himself and Kato has not been easy, and after being "caught raped" by Ying Lili yesterday, the atmosphere that has just recovered has become very solemn again; The relationship with Shiyu has almost fallen to an irretrievable and irretrievable freezing point, so there is no need to mention this; Even Ying Lili, who is his girlfriend, the cold storage and grim eyes when they met last time made Kazuya's psychology tingle for a while, and now Kirino has the same attitude towards herself, polite, but every word reveals a feeling of "I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with you".

Maybe the only thing that hasn't changed in the relationship with himself is Ayase, right? Although he and Ayase will also quarrel because of their age, although Ayase is not listening to himself as much as he did back then, but no matter what, the distance between Kazuya and Ayase will never increase, which is probably the benefit of brother and sister. Kazuya smiled self-deprecatingly, he couldn't imagine how he and Ayase would have been good if they had a sense of distance.

Shaking her head, she dispelled her distraction, and Kirino on the other end of the phone didn't seem to take the initiative to hang up the phone, or ask Kazuya why she was silent, she just waited quietly for Kazuya's reply.

"I don't think I know how to explain it." Kazuya sighed and said, "But, now that I've given you a chance, can we talk face to face?" Make an appointment to meet at a location or something? ”

"There's no need, Aragaki Senpai, I understand your thoughts, but I'm much stronger than you think—"

"--Don't pretend to be strong, I know that your enthusiasm for writing mobile novels has dropped a lot, and if I can't see this disguise, then I'm a big idiot, okay?" Kazuya mercilessly interrupted Kirino's words.

"Really? You know it from Ayase, right? ”

"Of course, sooner or later, you'll be abnormalized by Ayase, so I'm here to help you solve this problem now, come and thank me!" Kazuya tried his best to show a tone when he was arguing with Kirino, trying to arouse Kirino to quarrel with him.

However, Kirino did not accept Kazuya's provocation, and after being silent for a long time, she gently spit out some words: "Okay, if Aragaki senior must meet me and solve my problem, in fact, I don't have any opinion, I'm in the house of the senior of the pear pear now, you can come to the house of the senior of the pear pear, come to me!" ”
