Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Present and the Past
"Come on, come on, please refer to it!"
"Welcome to your advice, this is the book of "Little Romance 3"!
Looking at Lunya, who was in a state of hyperactive propaganda, Kazuya sat loosely in his chair and watched all this silently. And the other side went to sea, and covered his cheeks tremblingly:
"Ahhhh It's a shame that the worst manuscripts were released by you in such a grand manner if they were not completed! ”
"It really doesn't matter!" Kazuya rubbed his hair and said, "As long as the guests stop, even if they stop for a few seconds to take a closer look at those paintings, the result will be different!" ”
"Well, but I'm still ashamed!" While showing an embarrassed expression, Izumi slapped Kazuya's hand on her head a little evasively, and said, "Don't touch it!" Kazuya seniors, that, that has been rushing the manuscript for the past few days, and I don't have time to wash my hair! Girls don't like boys touching their heads, especially when their hair is not washed. ”
"Well, well," he took a serious look at his paws, and didn't feel anything unusual about his hair at sea, so he had to withdraw his hand embarrassedly, and whispered, "It's really all a lie!" Anime or something, obviously, has been promoting that girls like boys to touch their heads and kill something.,And it will show that kind of puppy-like very comfortable expression.,This kind of thing is really a lie! ”
And on the other side, the eyes of the remnants of the pear have already been cast on Kazuya's body, and the eyes that suddenly became rotten always made Kazuya have an inexplicable tremor that Ying Lili hopes that Kazuya will die immediately.
Of course, Ying Lili still behaved like a senior sister at this time, pointing to a guest who stopped in front of Lun Ye, who was shouting on the other side, and said, "Look at that guy, you know what will happen next!" ”
A male customer who was hurrying with a backpack on his back, apparently just using the club as a passage, stopped next to the billboard that Lun was holding high with an exaggerated expression. And Lun's shouting just now also stopped, and he looked at the first guest with some trepidation.
No matter how you look at it, there was a hint of doubt in the eyes of the male guest, but when he approached, his confused eyes turned into concentration, and he looked carefully at the display board in front of him.
Then, he lowered his head with some hesitation, and looked at the books that went to sea with completely blank covers.
Kazuya could feel that the breathing of the coquettish Izumi beside him suddenly became short, and he also felt Izuki's eyes staring straight at the man in front of him. On the other side, Lun Ye, who was holding the display board, couldn't help but tremble a little, and without the calmness just now, the display board held high was also lowered.
Infected by other people's emotions, Kazuya suddenly became nervous, and his eyes were also on the guest who finally picked up the book and flipped through it.
The focused gaze turned to disappointment, and after glancing at the first few pages of the book, the man was a little excited and ready to put the book down.
The eyes of the sea drooped.
However, the matter is not over, after putting down the book, the man looked at the display board curiously, thought about it carefully, and picked up the book for the second time, this time, he compared the contents of the display board and the book, and turned it over at a faster speed.
After turning a few pages, the man's expression changed again, and the feeling of ecstasy from disappointment to incredible was clearly increasing his power to turn the page.
"It's game over!" Kazuya muttered in a low voice, taking his gaze away from the man and looking at the others around him.
Ying Li Li is clear.,But there was a little envy to look at the guest in front of him.,There was a hint of nostalgia on his face.,Maybe when she first started creating.,There was also such a book that brought an explosive impact to people.,And I also think she may have remembered the initial feelings.。
"Sorry, I'll buy a copy!" By the time Kazuya turned back to look at the first guest, his face was flushed, and he was rummaging through his wallet in a daze, his trembling hands and excited cheeks all showed how satisfied he was with the book.
"Thank you for your patronage!" Lun also hurriedly responded, with a relieved expression on his face.
Then, he turned his head to look at the sea, glanced at Kazuya again, and made a V-shaped gesture triumphantly.
Regardless of the fact that he was still immersed in shock and couldn't extricate himself from going to sea, and his friend who also looked a little carried away, he grinned helplessly.
---------------------------- dividing line---------------------------
As Kazuya just said, this game is over, and the rest is a matter of course.
"This book, I want four!"
"Huh, four? Uh, are you going to buy so many copies? Although I'm slowly accepting the reality that my book is selling better than usual, this sudden situation still makes going to sea seem rushed.
Relatively speaking, this side of the Waya and Lun are also more comfortable.
"Sir, are you sure you want to buy four?"
"Ah, is there a limit to this book? This book? ”
"I'm really sorry about this, each person is limited to two copies!" Lun replied quickly.
"Well, also, if you are interested in following the Twitter of this community, I can increase the number of purchases for you next time according to the situation!" After accepting Lunye's opinion and not providing excessive protection to the sea, Kazuya seems to be more open, since this jade has been prepared for people to discover, let more people realize her value!
"Ah, it's really limited! Then I'll buy two copies," the customer across from me nodded and smiled knowingly, "And, so what's this Twitter account?" ”
"That, senior, Kazuya senior, when did my club have a Twitter account? Isn't this kind of thing unique to the kind of big community? Going to sea grabbed Kazuya's sleeve a little anxiously, and said with a bite of his ear.
"It's okay, it's okay," Kazuya shook his head, "This is what I just created, let's look at the team in the back!" Your club isn't a small club anymore! ”
"But, all of a sudden, I don't know what I can post on it!" I bit my lip and said at a loss.
"Ah, I didn't think about this," Kazuya frowned, "Anyway, what paintings do you have to put on them!" That's for later! ”
"Really, senior, you're so irresponsible!"
"There's a special situation here," Lun also shouted in surprise from the side, "Kazuya do you have any change over there!" There are people who pay 10,000 yuan here! ”
"Don't think of Miss Ben as an invisible person!" Ying Lili's indignant voice came, "No, find it for yourself, this is Kazuya's wallet." ”
"When did you take my wallet?"
"Oh, just as you took off my overalls."
"Yingli Li, you are so cunning!"
----------------------------- dividing line------------------------------
"I'm so sorry, the book is out of sale!"
"Thank you really, so much!" There were tears in her eyes when she went out to sea, and it was obvious that she was surprised by the situation in front of her, and she was more of a tear of joy.
And I don't know how many books are left before going to sea.,But judging from the estimation of going to sea.,The number of printed books will definitely not be large.,And the number of sold must be less.。
"It's over!" Kazuya looked at the club stall in front of him that was obviously a little messy because of too many customers queuing, but this booth was obviously much emptier compared to when Kazuya had just arrived, after all, the books with blank covers that were originally stacked on the table were now sold out.
Remembering that there were more than a dozen people queuing up with some disappointment at the same time as the sale was finished just now, he asked Lun Ye unwillingly, "Is there anything else?" "Even if it's a broken manuscript?" "Are the failed prints still preserved?" "I can buy a manuscript for ten times the price!" "I can give twenty times this one!" The somewhat chaotic crowd, and also a little gladly patted their backpacks, thinking that they had wittily kept a copy for themselves in advance.
"yes, that's the end of it!" Compared to Lun, who is still very excited to deal with the clutter on the side, because he has met a few loyal fans of himself who have been in contact with him and is talking happily with them, Ying Lili looks very quiet next to him.
At that moment, Kazuya suddenly felt that it was not Ying Lili who was standing in front of him, the golden hair fluttering in the wind, the obvious ladylike standing posture that had been impeccable home training, if it weren't for the light gray sportswear on his body that was a little incongruous, Kazuya simply felt that which eldest lady appeared in front of him, of course, Ying Li Li was indeed an eldest lady.
"It reminds me of how I felt when I secretly drew books and sold them in the first place!" Ying Lili said with some nostalgia.
"Eh, weren't you in your parents' club when you first started?" Kazuya tilted his head and said.
"Ah, that's it, it's not like this, when I sold the book for the first time, my parents hadn't officially let me take over the work of a painter!" Ying Lili stroked the bangs in front of her forehead and said, "The first time I sold a book, it was when my parents didn't know it!" As you know, I've loved drawing since I was in elementary school! ”
"That's right! What a person from that kind of family! Whether it is talent, environment, or nurture, it is impeccable. ”
"I've wanted my notebook to appear on the comi platform for a long time!" Ying Li Li said helplessly, "But,I don't know why my parents are always very cautious in some places.,They have been blocking me.,Don't let my book be put on comi to sell.,Always tell me,Ying Lili, you're not ripe!" Your paintings suck! Absolutely not! ”
"Parents' protection!"
"But oh, you know, children are always very rebellious at that time, so although my parents repeatedly emphasized that they would not let me participate in COMI, I was just unwilling, I just wanted to prove it to them, so again, while they were not paying attention, I secretly stuffed a few books that I drew myself into the books they had printed, and I thought about it, there were about 6 or 7 copies at that time! Each one does not come with a duplicate copy, and it has been prepared for a year! Hide in your room every night and draw.,At that time, I didn't have the consciousness to create a plot.,It's basically piecing together the bridges in the galgame.。 ”
"Eh,Wait a minute.,I remember that your mother also drew the same book of H before, right? Did you draw an adult at such a young age? ”
"How is that possible! I also started to draw Ling-humiliation after the third grade of junior high school.,When I was a child, I had no concept of that kind of thing at all, okay? Ying Lili blushed and shouted, "Anyway, I didn't fall asleep the next night, and the next day, I stayed in front of my parents' booth very obediently, wanting to see what my results were." ”
"Well, so you can recognize which books you are drawing?"
"Of course, the book I drew by myself can't be more familiar, right?" Ying Li Li said proudly.
"And then it turned out to be a big success?"
"Well, this one," Ying Lili scratched her head a little shyly and said, "I can only say that it is not bad!" You know,The main thing the guests come to buy is my mother's book.,Although my painting style is similar to my mother.,But old customers can still see it at a glance.,So when a guest buys my book,,They immediately questioned it! ”
"Well, that's miserable! Then I was severely reprimanded by your mother, and your books were also removed from it? ”
"How so? Do you think my mom is the kind of person who kills a person's childhood? Ying Li Li glanced at Kazuya dissatisfied.
"Unfortunately, I think so." Remembering the fear that he had once been dominated by Sayuri Sawamura, Kazuya secretly cried.
"Always, my mom is pretty open-minded! She asked me to put my books in it and sell them.,Said that if there are guests who want to buy two copies at the same time, then sell them.,If you don't want to, it can only prove that the quality of my books is not enough! ”
"So what the result is?"
"It's all sold out!" Ying Lili raised her head proudly, "Although it's a little reluctant, although my book has been rejected by many people, but the last few people who bought my book have praised me!" It was probably one of the happiest times when I was drawing, right? ”
"It's a really good feeling to be recognized as soon as you debut." Kazuya looked at Ying Lili, who was stuck in memories and smiled like a child, and was a little stunned for a while.
"Then the next year, my mother unexpectedly announced her retirement, and I took over, when I was in the first grade of middle school." Ying Li Li nodded and continued.
"What do you mean?" Kazuya raised his head and looked at Ying Lili, who had obviously become a little melancholy.
"Yes, in the second year, I had to think about the problem from the perspective of the community, and I didn't have that feeling of doing what I wanted, so although the painting was very good, although it sold very well, and it was very well-known and happy, but it just didn't have the excitement at the beginning!"
Kazuya silently lowered his head and looked at Ying Lili who was a little disappointed.
"But that's okay! Look how sad you are," Eriri patted Kazuya on the shoulder and said happily, "I've been feeling like that I've been feeling like lately!" In this club of Lunya, in the process of working with Kasumigaoka Shiyu, I have regained a little bit of that feeling! So the recent book is also quite good! ”
"That's it!" Kazuya said stunned.
"Anyway, Kazuya, I like this club very much, I like the current situation, if I can, I just hope that the current situation gets better," Ying Lili raised her head and looked into the distance with a blurred vision, "If you can't, at least, don't break the current situation, okay?" ”
Kazuya could clearly feel the feeling of even a little pleading revealed in Ying Lili's last words, and glanced blankly at Ying Lili's blue eyes, and Kazuya took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand!" ”
"Sa, that's fine." Ying Lili smiled and stood up, "You have to close the stall here when you go to sea, right?" If you have the chance, you can go to other places! ”
“OK!” Looking at the Ying Lili who was bursting with infinite vitality on her body, Kazuya suddenly had a feeling that the estrangement between the two had completely disappeared.
