The propaganda advertisements constantly broadcast on the TV next to him made Kamiya Yu feel embarrassed and the cancer was about to attack, especially the deliberately low voice of the advertising narrator has always been in line with the aesthetics of the second secondary school in the 11th district, but a serious novel introduction is also matched with advertising words with a weird painting style. Even so, Yu Kamiya sat on a chair with a warm smile on his face and signed autographs for readers who came to buy the novel.
Rest day,On this day that should be relaxing and pleasant, Yu Kamiya feels a thousand times more tired than work.,Today is the release period of the main novel and anime of "fate/zero", as a reward for Chiyo Shoten sparing no effort to promote "fate/zero" some time ago, [Yuannoku] animation production company and Chiyo Shoten jointly promote the novel and animation. Then Yu Kamiya was dragged to a large physical bookstore under Chiyo Bookstore to hold a novel signing meeting. There were more fans than he expected, and the large bookstore was about the size of a large supermarket and could accommodate thousands of people, but the Chiyo physical bookstore had been promoting the book signing session a week ago, and all readers who bought the main story of "Fate/Zero" or the seven character novels today could get the opportunity to shake hands with Yu Kamiya and sign autographs.
Not to mention Yu Kamiya's current popularity, even the seven character biography novels are in full swing in the light novel industry, leaving aside the least popular "Blue Beard" and "The Assassin", the other five character biography novels directly occupy the top ten of the monthly sales list of light novels in Chiyo Bookstore, and their popularity is not high.
The large bookstore that held the autograph meeting was surrounded by readers before 7 o'clock in the morning, but fortunately, the residents of District 11 still had good personal qualities, and under the guidance of the store staff, they quickly lined up to enter the bookstore. Then Kamiya was busy, signing autographs all morning, shaking hands with different readers, and welcoming them with a warm smile all morning. In less than two hours, Yu Kamiya thanked himself for the soreness and stiffness of his facial muscles, and his right hand, which was used to drawing original paintings, was sore.
"Mr. Kamiya! I'm a big fan of yours! I've seen all of "RWBY", "Magical Girl Naye", and "Madoka Magical Girl", and I especially like "RWBY" and Weiss, and I will continue to support you in the future! An agitated male fan walked up to Yuu Kamiya's autograph table with a mountain of novels in his hands, which together far exceeded the total number of novels in Fate/Zero.
- Two copies, no, that's about three copies.
Yu Kamiya, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the pile of novels with a surprised face, stood up and shook hands with the fan, and smiled while signing the novels he brought over, "Can you tell me your name?" β
"Yes! My name is Yukimura Murata! The male fan wiped his sweat and panted and replied, his face was particularly pleasantly surprised.
"Did Mr. Murata buy a three-point novel?" Yu Kamiya opened the cover of the novel and signed it one by one, and roughly estimated that there were at least sixty copies of the novel, and the weight alone added up was not something that ordinary people could move. The physical novels of Zone 11 are different from the physical novels of China, and most of the novels in Zone 11 are typeset vertically like those of ancient China, and readers need to read the content of the novels from top to bottom. This typography is also destined to contain not much content per page of the 11th District novel, so novels of only a few hundred thousand words may often need to be printed into several copies.
The male fan was a little embarrassed and proudly explained: "Yes, one is for collection, one is for teaching, and one is for myself." β
ββThere is no "Lucky Star" in this world, but I didn't expect this tradition to appear first.
Yu Kamiya was dumbfounded in his heart, and after signing all the novels, he handed them to the male fan with a smile: "Thank you for your continued support." β
The saying that you need to buy a house in triplicate,Kamiya Yu first knew the animation "Lucky Star" in the last world,Take the novel as an example is to buy three copies of the same.,One for collection.,The novel for collection can't be read.γ One is to lend it to others to prevent the embarrassing situation of not having to see it after borrowing it. One is to read by yourself, because the novels that you often read may have worn covers or wrinkles at the corners, and the appearance is damaged and cannot be used for collection.
In addition, the saying of "Holy Land Tour" is also carried forward by "Lucky Star", the so-called Holy Land Tour is the place where the audience watching the animation comes to the animation filming, for example, the home of the heroine of "LoveLive" Takasaka Honoka's [Sui γγ] Japanese confectionery shop, the prototype of which is a Japanese confectionery shop called "Bamboo γγ", thanks to the blessing of animation, the popularity of this Japanese confectionery shop skyrocketed overnight. On Takasaka's birthday, the store was even surrounded by fans of "LoveLive", and some fans climbed up to the second floor of the dim sum shop to live on the second floor of the store manager, so they angered the store manager and posted a notice that LL fans were not allowed to enter, which became one of the famous jokes in District 11 that ridiculed LL fans for being too extreme.
After the male fan left, Kamiya Yu put down the pen and shook his hand, feeling the labor pain in his fingers because of holding the pen for a long time, Kamiya Yu looked at the team that had not changed at all since the morning and there was another burst of despair, it seems that unless he reaches the end time of three o'clock in the afternoon, he will not be idle.
"Hello, Mr. Kamiya."
The next fan had already walked over, and Yu Kamiya hurriedly patted his cheek to continue to maintain his already stiff and enthusiastic smile.
ββIn short, I would like to pay tribute to the service workers and idols in all 11 wards! It's not easy to be a celebrity.
When he saw the next fan, Kamiya was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he remembered that this young man was a classmate he had seen at Kamiya Dome School: "I remember that you are Ando-san?" β
Seeing Yu Kamiya recognize himself, Xiu Ando, who had been queuing for two hours, was excited, and the depression of queuing for a long time disappeared. He touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Kamiya to remember me, I caused you trouble at school last time." β
"It's okay, Qiong's classmates are my readers, and that's what makes me happy." Yu Kamiya smiled and took the official novel he bought, and drew a stick figure of Saber on the inside page of the novel, which was the appearance of Saber standing in the distance with a sword.
Ando Shu bowed deeply to Yu Kamiya and said solemnly, "Thank you very much!" β

The "fate/zero" novel autograph meeting, which was supposed to end at three o'clock, was delayed until four o'clock in the afternoon, and the length of the line was only reduced a little at three o'clock, and the staff of Chiyo Bookstore simply restricted future readers from continuing to line up, and those who were still in line before three o'clock could continue to get Yuu Kamiya's autograph. In addition to the novel, many fans brought things from Yu Kamiya's other works to ask for autographs, including "RWBY" posters, "Madoka Magical Girl" T-shirts, and exaggerated figures of "Magical Girl Naye", and their enthusiastic appearance made Yu Kamiya unable to refuse.
When everything was over, the staff of Chiyo Bookstore bowed to Yuu Kamiya and thanked him, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kamiya." β
"This is a novel I wrote, but I'm going to trouble you all afternoon helping out." Yu Kamiya stood up and smiled and waved his hand, picked up the green tea on the table and wanted to take a sip but found that the bottle had bottomed out, and the surroundings of the venue were also in a mess. The "fate/zero" poster that had only been put out in the morning was in tatters, and the floor was littered with empty bottles and toilet paper.
Yu Kamiya cleaned up the table and asked the Chiyo Bookstore staff next to him, "Is there anything else you need help with?" β
"The next step is our job, and it would be a dereliction of duty on our side to trouble Mr. Kamiya any more." The staff at the head bowed respectfully to Yu Kamiya.
Yuya Kamiya didn't want to stay here for too long, nodded to them and said, "Trouble, then I'll go back first, if there is anything, you can contact my company directly." β
After saying hello to the other staff, Yu Kamiya left Chiyo's physical bookstore, and as soon as he pushed open the glass door, he felt a wave of heat rushing towards him. It's July and the weather in Tokyo is very hot, but the heat when you leave a bookstore is much better than bathing in the air conditioner inside a bookstore.
"It's really hot on this day, but I don't have time to go to the beach like the anime to enjoy it."
Yu Kamiya lamented inwardly, walked to a nearby convenience store, bought a bottle of green tea to quench his thirst, and called Shindoji of the sound department by the way.
"How's it going, is the dubbing going well?" Yu Kamiya stood in the shade outside the convenience store and took a sip of green tea.
"What went well or not, the overall feeling is no different from the front, but the voice actor you named, I remember it was Rain... Amamiya Huayi, this time has improved a lot, and the voice is quite compatible with a role like Alice Phil."
Amamiya Hanai, this rookie voice actor left a deep impression on Yu Kamiya in the voice actor audition of Sakura Kyoko in the last "Madoka Magical Girl", and felt that her voice was quite compatible with his wife Alice Phil, so he directly adopted her as the voice actor of Alice Phil. Kamiya Yu smiled: "Amamiya Huayi, ah, she is indeed quite talented. So how about melee combat on the BGM side. β
"I've hired a big classical orchestra and we can record it next week."
Kamiya pondered for a while, calculated his schedule and said, "Just right, call me when you record." β
"Yes~Yes."
Now Yu Kamiya rarely interferes in the creation of animation BGM, but asks BGM to ask Shindoji to come up with a satisfactory plan, which really does not meet his requirements and creates it himself. The two discussed the convenient modification of the lines again, and it was not until after drinking this bottle of green tea that Yu Kamiya hung up the phone with Shindoji and called his home instead.
Yu Kamiya threw the green tea bottle into the trash, and after the phone was connected, he asked, "Dome." β
"Hmm." A flat answer was heard.
"I'm almost going back, do you have anything you want to eat?"
"γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" was silent for a while
"The ice cream stored in the fridge is gone." Kamiya said in a low voice.
Kamiya Yu raised his eyebrows: "I remember that there were four left in the refrigerator last night." β
"Eat." Kamiya Qiong's tone of reply was a little weak.
Kamiya Qiong's flat tone made Kamiya Yu not know how to react, holding his forehead and sighing helplessly: "So much, what should I do if I eat a bad stomach." "Speaking of Kamiya Dome, it belongs to the type without self-control, as long as Kamiya Yu is not there, she will easily eat a lot of snacks, but no matter how many high-calorie snacks she eats, Kamiya Dome's figure seems to be always slender and slender, and it is the legendary attribute that makes female foodies envious and jealous.
Kamiya Qiong said lightly, of course: "It's okay, Yu will take care of me." β
Kamiya Yu's mood turned to joy and doting: "I really can't help you, what kind of taste do you want this time, first say that you don't want to continue to eat ice cream today, eat up to two a day." β
"Strawberry milk and chocolate."
Yu Kamiya continued to ask, "What do you want to eat for dinner?" β
"It's good to decide."
Kamiya said slowly: "Then curry rice." β
"Don't!" Kamiya Dome decisively refused to hear that she didn't like the taste of curry, which originally belonged to Indian cuisine, but after being introduced to District 11, it gradually integrated into District 11 families because of its convenience, and now it has become an indispensable family dish in District 11.
Yu Kamiya asked knowingly, "Didn't you say that I decided?" β
"Yo." Kamiya Qiong's tone of voice became heavier, as if he was dissatisfied with Kamiya Yu teasing her.
Yu Kamiya could imagine Kamiya Dome's awkward look, and looked at the fading sunlight on the street and chuckled, "I know, I don't know how to make curry." I'm going to hang up the phone, I'll go to the supermarket to buy groceries first, and if I have time, can you help me take my clothes back? β
"yes, I know." (To be continued.) )
