After making up his mind, when Kazuya was about to contact Shiyu, he had already found that Kasumigaoka Shiha seemed to have disappeared again as before, and Kazuya was almost certain that the Machida editor must have played a role in this process, although it may have just added a fire to Shiyu's anger, but it was enough to make Kasumigaoka Shiha disappear in front of his eyes again.

What's more, Shiyu's novel is not completely completed, and with Kazuya's understanding of the editor who is known for oppressing, she will not let go of an author's free time, so, Kazuya is sure that Shiyu is now unable to contact herself, on the one hand, because of her rejection of herself, and on the other hand, because of Machida's obstruction.

Moreover, Kazuya already had a vague idea, at least the last time he contacted the Machida editor, Shiyu was not frustrated by the revision of the script, which shows that the previous Machida editor's blows to herself were completely her own deliberate blows to Kazuya, and what this blow was for, and Kazuku is not very clear, but, at least knowing this, for him, it is enough to be wary of Machida editors.

Therefore, Kazuya's approach is to go straight to Shiba and look for Shiba directly, however, he also knows that Machida will definitely not tell him where she and Shiyu are, so Kazuya decides to rush directly to Machida's editor's lair to get all this done.

So, Kazuya came to the editorial office of Fantastic Library with a resolute attitude - of course, he is not a so-called Long Aotian after all, although his family has a decent political background, but it is certainly not strong enough to confront a publishing house with a long history in the industry. So, in general, his goal is just to be able to talk to the people of the library.

As long as you don't kick him out, then you can say anything.

And at this time,A certain "teacher" level character who he has forgotten for a long time also happened to appear.,After providing Mr. Shinbuchi Gen, who is troubled by his novel "fake-zero", with a few painless but very finishing touches in his impression, he successfully exchanged for the guidance given to him by Shinbuchi Gen, although he can't see the so-called high-level or the like, but when he meets Machida's colleagues, he can at least find Machida for himself, and add some chips.

Of course, Kazumi was not stupid enough to tell the editorial department directly that he was looking for Machida in order to find a girl. Instead, he took out some old accounts and made a threat.

"If the Machida editor doesn't reply to me again, then I'll reveal to the media that the editor of your fantastic library maliciously deceived the author, and Mr. Gen Minobuchi here also recognized my creative level, and my novels have not been published many times, all because the Machida editor has concealed and deceived me, so you should do it yourself."

And Shi Yuanxuan on the side stared at Kazuya like looking at a monster, and his face slowly had an expression of "Didn't you just let me help you see these people in the editorial department, why did you seem to drag me into the water".

And Kazuya didn't notice Shi Yuanxuan's expression at all, and the honest classmate had to sigh helplessly that he was carrying such a pot just for a few inspirations that he could probably think of, and he suddenly felt a little worried about his future in the industry.

"So, Mr. Aragaki, are you really threatening Fantastic Bunko?" Jean Kazuya was a little surprised that he was received by the deputy editor-in-chief of the editorial department under Machida's editor, and this uncle, who seemed to be very shrewd, looked at Kazuya with a little frown, and said, "You know, maybe Machida's editor did misunderstand your work, but if you want to threaten the library in person, you don't think you can make any big waves!" ”

"Then we can give it a try!" Kazuya narrowed his eyes and said confidently, of course the person who negotiated with him on the other side didn't know, he was now in a state where he had nothing to lose, and the other party might think that his main purpose was to publish his novel, but only he knew that he no longer thought about these things, and if the other side negotiated with him according to his own fate, it would be in his arms.

And everything went smoothly as Kazuya expected.

"One more thing," the editor who was talking to Kazuya on the other side also narrowed his eyes and said, "If you want to offend the entire library, it means that you have completely broken with the library, and your novels will definitely not be published in the Fantastic library in the future, and if you want to join other publishing houses, the editor over there will definitely take into account the history of your thorn in the head!" After all, the author wants to rebel against the publisher or something, which is not the case in the industry! ”

"Ahh Maybe it's not a problem to fight a fish to die and break the net! Kazuya put on an indifferent expression, causing the editor on the other side to stare at him.

And Shi Yuanxuan, the back-to-back man on the side, couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to let himself get into, and secretly sighed in his heart: Hey, you don't want to mix in this industry anymore, I still have to eat in this industry, na, don't see me, editor Sang!

"Is that so?" The editor on the other side smiled and said, "Do you think that you broke the news to the media alone, and you can't suppress this kind of thing with the energy of the library?" It would be nice if you could join forces with other authors—"

Shi Yuanxuan on the side shrank his head, trying his best to dissociate himself from this guy.

"--If you are just a weak author, it is really ridiculous, after all, you are not even a 'teacher' now, you are just an ordinary person with some strength but no novels have been published, and many people will only think that you are just a grandstander!"

"Well! Probably so, but in my opinion, the solution to this kind of problem is better than less! Tell me where Machida's editor is, or if you don't know where she is, and get her to tell you where she works. Why risk a crisis PR while protecting the editor's interests? Or is there something behind Miss Machida that can't be messed with? ”

As soon as Kazuya's words came out, he felt as if he was a little carried away, after all, there are some things that he can feel, but being able to understand and understand are two different things from what he finally said, so as soon as he said this, he felt a kind of tension and pressure for the first time since he entered the office for negotiation, because he didn't know how the other party would react to revealing this potential identity of Machida.

However, to Kazuya's surprise, the reaction of the editor on the other side seemed to be relatively cold, he just raised his eyebrows a little interestingly, and then said seriously: "The library will only protect the editor, and will not be biased because of the identity of the editor, the library protects all editors equally, not to mention, Machida editor is now in the position of the editor-in-chief." ”

I won't be partial because of my identity as an editor.,Will protect every editor equally.,But,This also means,Even if Machida's identity as an editor is really that high-level,,The person in front of her.,It doesn't seem that she will be treated particularly preferentially.。 Kazuya was a little sensitive to detect a trace of strange information from the words of the person in front of him.

It seems that the popularity of Machida editors within the library is not so good!

Sure enough, for the first time, the deputy editor-in-chief smiled a little sincere to himself, but also with a hint of his own appeal: "However, as you said, Mr. Aragaki, there is no need for us to have the entire library go to crisis public relations for the sake of the personal mistakes of the Machida editor, especially if this kind of public relations can be avoided, so we can provide you with the current position of the Machida editor." ”

"But you have one condition, right?" Kazuya nodded and added a sentence to the deputy editor-in-chief opposite.

"I'm beginning to believe that at your age, you can indeed write articles that are approved by Gen-sensei Minobuchi, Mr. Aragaki, you are indeed a very smart person, and you may be a person who can be compared to Machida's editor Kasumi Shiko-sensei!" The deputy editor-in-chief said leisurely.

"Thanks for the compliment!"

"Actually, our conditions are very simple! That is, even if you find Machida editor, please ask me to take care of your work, and it must be very bad compared to your impression of her! So, wouldn't it be a good option to change editors and then publish your work? ”

"You mean, you're going to publish a novel for me?" Kazuya raised his head in obvious surprise, although he didn't care much about publishing a novel or something, and he was ready to interrupt his own novel extra-fast road in the future, but to say that Kazuya didn't feel sorry for this situation, it must be a lie.

However, the subordinate of Machida, who was still fighting with him just now and seemed to be bent on maintaining it, seemed to throw himself a very tempting cake.

"That's right! And Kasumi Shiko teacher also won the big prize.,But the novel has not been published.,Deceived by Miss Machida more than once.,Aragaki sensei,It's really hard for you.,But your strength is definitely undoubted.,Whether it's the recognition of Mr. Shimito Shiji.,Or the ability to be on a par with Mr. Kasumi Shiko at that time,You are qualified enough to be an excellent writer.,So,Since Miss Machida can't be discerning.,We fantastic library can't let go of another excellent writer.,Especially, It seems that this writer has been buried by us for a year, which is really regrettable! ”

"Internal poaching? Dig me from an editor to your own side and add your own strength, right? ”

"No, no, no, how can you say that? Aragaki sensei, your work was only reviewed by Machida at the beginning, and we all know that Machida is very busy right now, so she can't do it for everyone, so it's very simple, I'll help Machida solve some problems that she can't solve, do you think that's okay? ”

"Has this risen to the level of factional fighting?" Although Kazuya is not the kind of person who is very sensitive to this kind of struggle, after all, he was born in a political family, so he has a certain awareness of this aspect, although he himself is actually not very good at these things.

However, his choice at this time was naturally a little more conceded: "I'm sorry, thank you very much for the invitation, but I'm not an adult yet, if I really want to do something like publishing a novel, I think I still need to discuss it with my parents and then give you an answer, is that okay?" ”

"Absolutely!" The deputy editor-in-chief smiled and handed over a note with an address written on it, and said, "So, this is the message to Mr. Aragaki first, this should be the name of the hotel where the editor-in-chief Machida has been staying when she was urging people to write the manuscript, which is in the next city, and the invoice for the room she opened should also be reimbursed by the library, so I will go back and check it and tell you the specific room number, is this okay?" ”

"Before I have agreed to be your author?" Kazuya asked with some confusion.

"That's right! This is a benefit that was advanced to Mr. Aragaki first, although this benefit is indeed a little small, but it is more or less a little heart! The deputy editor nodded and said.

"Okay!" Although looking at the guy in front of him seems to have the appearance of an old fox, Kazuya still nodded and took the note on the other side, after all, although he is not completely sure, but this is also the main purpose of his coming, and now to be able to get the location of Shiyu's location should be more important than anything else.

As for this old fox, it's okay to deal with it later!

"Well, I'll be waiting for your reply, Mr. Aragaki! Every author who submits to the library has a dream of being a writer, right? What's more, Teacher Kasumiko, who has the same starting point as you, has already stood at such a high height, so Mr. Aragaki, with such an opportunity, I think you can do it too! ”

"Okay!" Kazuya nodded, took a deep breath, and stood up with a hint of mixed emotions, "I'll think about it." ”

"Well, I look forward to you making the right choice."

When Kazuya left the building of the Fantastic Library, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: Originally, he had always tried his luck to find Shiyu-senpai, but he didn't expect that he seemed to be involved in something even more terrible!
