The physical store of Chiyo Bookstore, where Jun Kurotani works, is about to be sold out before the afternoon, and the store manager looks at the two empty bookshelves and wants to cry without tears, and there is a long queue outside the store. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the midst of his busy schedule, the store manager instructed while receiving customers: "Kurotani, bring the kanban that is sold out in the warehouse." ”

"Yes."

Kurotani Jun found a life-size kanban from the warehouse, Kanban Niang is a cute and cute silver-haired girl, wearing a cute dress, her eyes are lively and slightly playful. He recognizes the silver-haired girl as Illya von Einzberen, the baby who appeared at the beginning of Fate/zero, and the daughter of the android Alice Fell and the [magician killer] Kiritsugu Emiya.

Jun Kurotani picked up the board and shook his head and said to himself, "I hope you can have a good ending this time." ”

Now in this situation, the store manager has to put the novel sold out of the animation billboard outside, and in a hurry, he writes on it with a black pen with an explanation: "Our store's "Fate/staynight [Heaven'sFeel]" novels are all sold out from the first to the third volume, I am very sorry for the inconvenience, if you don't mind the customers who are still queuing, you can leave contact information to the store, and when the store is replenished, we will notify customers as soon as possible according to the contact information. If you still wish to buy, we will save a copy for you in advance. ”

"What, let us know sooner if it's out of stock!"

"Yes, I waited for more than an hour in vain."

"Garbage Chiyo Bookstore, go die."

"That's really harsh, we've been queuing up since yesterday to get it, and you just queue up and want to buy a novel? Don't underestimate society. ”

The sold-out billboard of the novel was placed outside the store, which directly attracted the dissatisfaction of the customers who were queuing outside, many of them queued for more than two hours, and as a result, how can people be willing to waste two novels without even seeing the cover of the novel? Chiyo Bookstore's physical store is not bad, and most of the customers who queued up in vain still obediently came to the store to leave their phone numbers and wait for the second replenishment of the novel, although they complained.

In the afternoon, because the novels placed outside were sold out, the flow of people in the physical store of Chiyo Bookstore was significantly reduced, but the store manager wanted to cry without tears at this time and discovered the fact that the number of customers who left their phone numbers in the store was much higher than the number of second purchases, and he could only comfort himself with the excuse that the number of customers who really wanted to buy novels would be less than the number of contact information.

Although "Fate/staynight [Heaven's Feel]" is nominally a sequel to "Fate/zero", the novel is not necessarily less than "Fate/zero", and "Paradise" itself is a hodgepodge, and if you want to do a good job of "Fate/Feel", you need to carefully adjust the plot and expand the length of the plot to do a good job of sorting out the plot.

Beyond most readers' expectations, volumes 1 to 3 of the novel are just the beginning of the story, and the plot of the novel is no less exciting than that of "Fate/zero".

That night, most of the social software or groups about ACG in District 11 once again set off a craze for discussing [Holy Grail War], especially the new Heroic Spirits just happened to be linked with the "Valhalla" game, although the content in the "Valhalla" game was updated, but for example, Red A, which involves the core plot, the Heroic Spirits did not open the character biography mode, and the Heroic Spirits such as Caster Medea and Assassin Sasaki Kojiro did not have much impact on the plot, but they were not restricted.

・・・・・・

In the evening, the Chiyo Bookstore editorial office was still working overtime, and all the editors were so busy that they could hear the phone ringing every less than ten seconds, and the editors were so distressed by the sound of the phone that they couldn't answer the questions of the callers in a respectful manner, most of them asking when the "Fate/staynight[Heaven'sFeel]", which was sold out in all regions of the 11th district, would be restocked.

The sequel to "Fate/zero" [Like Heaven] was originally highly anticipated, and then the linkage with the most popular game in the 11th district, Valhalla, caused a terrible chain effect that even the editorial department of Chiyo Shoten did not expect, and the 400,000 copies of the novel for more than a week were sold out in just half a day, and then they received a steady stream of protests from readers.

The female editor picked up the phone in her hand and listened to the reader's questions on the other side of the phone, and quickly replied: "Yes ~ Yes, thank you very much for your opinion, the second batch of novels will continue to be sold in the physical stores of the major Chiyo bookstores and partner bookstores in three days." ”

"Dudu Dudu~!"

After a while, the landline phone next to the female editor rang again

"Of course, we have reached an agreement with the [Mirror Flower Water Moon] company on this point, and anyone who buys the first to third volumes of the novel will receive a Heroic Spirit Card redemption code inside."

"Wait a minute."

"Yes, our editorial office can assure you of that."

"The fourth volume is yes.,If nothing else, it will be released next Friday.,After that, one volume will be released every other week until the end of Yu-sensei Kamiya's novel.。

Standing in front of the office door and looking at the editorial office in a chaotic mode, a middle-aged editor who is also an assistant to Gojing Akiyama laughed and quipped: "Isn't the editorial department completely paralyzed, thanks to the blessing of the Kamiya supervisor, the phone of the editorial department is now bursting, ahh~ At this time, it is impossible to divide people to take care of other teachers." ”

He picked up the document in his hand and looked at the data report displayed on it and sighed: "As of nine o'clock tonight, the novel supervised by Kamiya was sold out in one day, and 400,000 copies were printed anyway, and the average sales of each volume were 400,000 in one day. ”

Akiyama Gojing lay on the office chair and looked at the lights of the street outside, sighed and shook his head with a wry smile: "You specifically said it to hit me?" After all, it's the superintendent of Yu Kamiya, and the sales of this novel are also thanks to the increase in crossover activities on the game's side. ”

He is both the editor-in-chief and a light novelist, and when he sees such amazing results achieved by [Like Heaven], he can't help but feel envious in his heart, confident that the quality of his novel "Machine Age" will not be worse than Kamiya Yu's novel, but the results achieved by [Like Heaven] in one day shattered all his pride, and the average sales of each volume in a single day exceeded the cumulative sales of "Machine Age" in the past half a year.

"Haha, it's effective, isn't it, go have a drink after work."

Akiyama Gojing waved his hand and said in a low tone: "Excuse me, I'd better go back to sleep and feel better." ”
