"Yesterday's incident?" Shiyu's topic changed a little too quickly, so Kazuya didn't even have a chance to react for a while, but he quickly figured out what Shiyu wanted to say, "Oh, are you talking about Kirino's novel?" At that time, Shiyu Senpai just had to obey the meaning of Myster Library, right? There's no way around that! ”

"Oh, that's not the case, Kazuya-kun, there are some problems with your understanding!" Shi Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "Yesterday's suggestion, I didn't make it on behalf of the Mystery Library-of course, there is nothing wrong with saying that it was proposed on behalf of the Library, but the proposal itself is indeed my own idea!" ”

"Senior sister's own thoughts?" Kazuya looked at Shiyu in some shock, and asked with some confusion, "No, I thought it was the idea of the editor of Machida.,Uh,It's not that it's the idea of the senior sister.,But I think,Senior sister.,That's just.,There's no need.,Uh,That's.,I know it's Kirino's situation-"

"--You still have such a proposal when you know it's Kirino, right?" Shi Yu smiled a little playfully and said, "Hey, Kazu-kun, what kind of good person do you think of me?" The author of that novel is just Kirino Takasaka, oh, what do you think is the relationship between me and Miss Kirino Takasaka? ”

"Well, seniors and juniors - ah no, friends - well, it doesn't seem right." Kazuya looked at Shi Yu's expression, and then realized that there seemed to be some big mistakes in his previous judgment.

"That's right, Kazuya-kun, I guess you understand, right?" Shiyu said softly, "Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Takasaka Kirino actually don't have any intimate relationship!" For me, Miss Takasaka, it's just a very good friend of mine, plus a good friend of the person I once liked. ”

"Uh, the object of your liking or something-" This time Kazuya already clearly felt that something was wrong with Shiyu's state.,Talking about his feelings for himself in such a way.,That feeling.,It's as if you've completely looked away from this aspect of things.。

He also absolutely does not believe that a person can suddenly see through a thing in a short period of time - although he does not think that it is a bad thing for Shi Yu to let go of his feelings, but he is sure that even if Shi Yu wants to let go, it will take a gradual and slow process, just a few minutes ago, he could still see the expectation of himself flashing in Shi Yu's eyes, and a few minutes later, just a few minutes after he vetoed this expectation, the other party immediately became like this, It is said that it is completely open and absolutely unbelievable.

More, it could be a more drastic response to what you just reacted to.

"I have a headache! What did I do wrong just now to make Senior Sister Shiyu what she is now. Kazuya patted his forehead again, however, he didn't find any solution to Shiyu's state.

At this time, Shiyu's words had continued: "Of course, I must admit that Miss Takasaka's novel is indeed a very good novel, but we have already told you about her fatal wounds and weaknesses after the publication of the physical book, so my suggestion is to save the life of the materialized version of Miss Takasaka's book." This is the best result that I have come up with after discussing it with Ms. Machida. ”

Shiyu's words are not wrong in most aspects, but in order to create a harsher image of herself, she concealed a very important fact: that is, although this decision was made by Shiyu on his own initiative, it was true that Shiyu wanted to save the opportunity for the physical publication of Kirino's novel, but this decision was made after Machida completely vetoed the possibility of the publication of Kirino's novel.

For Machida, who has just joined the Mystery Library and is in charge of the new planning area of campus romance novels, she does not need other novels to interfere with her early publishing tasks, and her only goal now is to make the second volume of Shiyu's emigration novel steadily published in the Mystery Library, and maximize the market value of Shiyu's novel.

Of course, Machida knows that there is still a big killer move like Fushimi Ling on the side of the Fantastic Library, and Machida also knows that with Shiyu's current popularity and writing level, it is not enough to shake Fushimi's extremely high status in the industry, however, Machida's positioning for Myster Library's short period of time is to occupy a stable market in the industry as quickly as possible, this market is not too big, but at least it must be stable, and this, for Machida, she has pressed all the treasures on Shiyu's body.

Of course,Machida has enough confidence in Shiyu's works.,Although she knows that at the same time,Fantastic Bunko launched Kazuya's works that were once denied by herself to compete.,But,With her judgment of the level of Kazuya's novels,She's sure that the level of Kazuya's works,Compared with Shiyu's second novel,There's still a big gap.,So, As long as Shiba can achieve enough success and occupy a stable enough market in the month before the new release of Fantastic Bunko Fushimi Ling, then this battle of Myster Bunko will be considered a success, and as for how good Fushimi Ling's performance will be after that, it is something that needs to be further considered later.

However, although Machida has enough confidence in Shiyu, she has always been cautious, and she has done enough publicity and preparation for the publication of the novel to ensure that Shiyu's second volume of the novel can be fired at this critical point.

Therefore, under the guidance of everything to give priority to Shiyu's newness, Machida almost vetoed or postponed all the previous plans for the publication of youth campus novels in the Mystery Library, and for Kirino's novels with obvious innate advantages and congenital disadvantages, Machida chose to give up directly for the sake of the principle of safety.

It was at this time that he accidentally discovered that the author of this novel was Kirino's Shiyu, and out of the idea of saving the publication of Kirino's novel, he proposed to Machida that it be published as a biography of his own novel. Even,Shiyu has already made a plan to revise it without affecting the outline of the novel and the main plot.,That is,As long as Sunday's sum is not too involved.,Kirino agreed to such a revision.,Then this revision plan that takes into account Kirino's ideas will be presented in front of Kirino.。

However, all of this has been deliberately concealed by Shiyu in the past, and what she wants to create in front of Kazuya now is an image of resolute confrontation.

"Yes, if it's Kazuya-kun's novel, then I definitely won't have this kind of thought, because I know that every author of a novel cares about his own originality, and if his original novel is only used as an accessory to other people's novels in the end, then no one will accept this, I think Kazuya-kun later persuaded Miss Takasaka in the same way, right?" Shiyu continued to ask Kazuya somewhat condescendingly.

"Yes, I know that Senior Sister Shiyu must know this," although he knew that Shiyu's current state was very abnormal, but Jean He was also a little helpless that the current rhythm of the dialogue had completely fallen into Shiyu's control, so although he was very reluctant to answer these questions head-on, wanting to get Shiyu out of the abnormal state, he could only force himself to continue the dialogue with Shiyu, "So, why can't you think of a better solution?" Why do you have to insist that Kirino's novels be your own subordinate works? I think it would be a little different if you didn't interfere and let us fight for it with the Machida editors, right? ”

"However, I must stand on the same side as Machida-sama now!" Shiyu's tone softened a little, and she said a little helplessly, "Although both me and Miss Machida have already made some achievements before coming to Myster Library, but suddenly let her be the head of the new department in power, and let me be the leading writer here, we are also under a lot of pressure, at this time, if the two of us disagree, it will definitely make others have a kind of 'Eh, these two people look very powerful, But in the impression of the dissatisfaction of the infighting! So, now, I must express my unconditional support for Ms. Machida's plan. ”

"I had already expected this." Kazuya smiled wryly and nodded.

"So, Kazuya-kun, give up!" Although the emotions just now were obviously a little abnormally excited, but now this sentence, Kazuya can see that Shiyu is really sincerely requesting, "At least in Miss Takasaka's novel, let's give up the idea of confronting us!" I know you have a lot of ideas, and I know that after you refuse our request, there will definitely be other ideas, but have you ever considered that your approach will only cause you more pressure? Sometimes, do you impose your own ideas on other people? ”

Sometimes, do you impose your ideas on other people without authorization?

Shi Yu's somewhat unconsciously said such a sentence that made Kazuya's whole person tremble. He is no stranger to this sentence, and his unauthorized understanding of each girl has caused a less happy result one by one, and this situation is still vivid.

Kazuya once felt that he no longer had this kind of thought, but Shiyu's words were like pulling him into that nightmare again.

"It's not like that, I've also been sure, this is Kirino himself's thoughts, or rather, Sister Shiyu, your attitude towards Kirino at that time was a little abnormal, if it weren't for your step-by-step pressing of Kirino at that time, she seemed to have no way out, let her think about it later, she probably wouldn't have made the decision to agree to your request so easily, right? So, it made sense for me to interrupt her at the time. Kazuya said a little reluctantly, he remembered that when he persuaded Kirino later, he was considered by Yingli to be a "inducing inquiry" question, and he was not so sure when he said this.

However, Shi Yu didn't want to continue to ask, she just shook her head a little helplessly, looked at Kazuya, and returned to the less aggressive, but a little weak look at the beginning.

Although I don't know why Shi Yu suddenly became abnormal, and why she suddenly changed back to normal, Kazuya looked at Shi Yu like this, and decided to continue to take advantage of the situation: "So, senior sister, if possible, I still hope that you can not insist on your point of view!" Even if you give up this idea personally, even if you don't express your position, Ying Lili and I will definitely continue to discuss with Kirino with Kirino , but I don't want to stand on your opposite side completely! ”

"My opposite?" Shi Yu shook his head with a wry smile, and said like a dream, "What do you think I was doing with those words just now?" I don't want you to be on the opposite side of me! ”

"yes, if we have the same demands, then we can think of a compromise—"

"But you can't do it anymore, can you?" Shiyu interrupted Kazuya's words.

"Uh, Shiyu-senpai, I don't understand what you mean."

"I said, Kazuya-kun, if you don't want to stand on the opposite side, you can't do it, right?" Shi Yu repeated his words again.

"What is called can't be done, we can't still discuss-"

"Next month, the second volume of my novel will be published! This is my first book since I moved away, and the first book that Ms. Machida, the entire editorial department has high hopes for, you know? ”

"Yes, I know." Looking at Shi Yu's expression, Kazuya already roughly understood what the other party wanted to say, and what the other party wanted to say was actually the topic that he had always wanted to avoid.

"Of course, I also know that your new novel will also be published in Fantastic Library at about the same time next month, right? Although the publicity is not as good as my debut work, it is high enough for a newcomer who actually has no capital, and it is to fight against my work, right? ”

"Yes, yes." Kazuya lowered his head with some hesitation.

"I don't know what you think, but, Kazuya, you know what? I can't afford to lose! Miss Machida and I can't afford to lose! If the sales of my novel can't crush yours, then I'm losing, and I have a reason to win you, you know? ”

"Yes."

"So, the two of us at this time, what do you say about confrontation or not, what do you say to avoid confrontation or something, aren't you kidding? Even if I cancel my position for Kirino's novel, our biggest confrontation is still to come! You don't want your debut to disappear from the sales of my novels, do you? ”

"Yes, I don't want to."

"Kazuya-kun, I fantasized about it just now, and I fantasized that you could compromise in the direction of Kirino's novel, and then I thought, maybe you will avoid me in your new novel, and then everyone may be happy, but, obviously, you are not such a person!" Shi Yu said with a wry smile.

"I don't have that much choice to avoid it, Fantastic Library probably uses me as cannon fodder!" Kazuya replied with a wry smile.

"But you don't have to be cannon fodder, and maybe for the Fantastic Library, you might be a secret weapon that they didn't even think of! I know you, Kazuya-kun! Shi Yu shook his head and said.

"Thank you, senior sister, for the compliment."

"So, Kazuya-kun," Shiyu put his strengths to the back of his head, and his eyes showed a somewhat sad and somewhat determined look, "Originally, I wanted to say this sentence secretly in my heart, but after thinking about it, it was still too despicable, so I still said it clearly." ”

"Well, I'm listening, Senior Sister Shiyu."

"So, Kazuya, I'm sorry, I declare to you now that the war between the two of us has now begun." Shi Yu raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, raised his right hand, and announced heavily.

"So, is that the end up like this?" Kazuya looked at the firm Shiyu, helpless, angry, sad, and all kinds of feelings were intertwined, but in the end, he could only straighten up, clench his fists, and say softly, but in a voice that Shiyu could hear, "Yes, I know, the war has begun!" ”
