Faced with the other party's appearance, Jiang Yu naturally put on enough junior posture, bowed his head, chuckled, and said solemnly: "Thank you Senior Sister Xiazhiqiu for your concern." I also hope that my sister's new work can be a big seller and become a bestseller again. ”

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu shook his head and said indifferently: "That's not necessarily...... The last work was able to sell so many copies under various conditions. At first, neither myself nor my editors thought it was a blockbuster. By the way, Junior, what is the number of your works in the first edition? ”

"Hmm...... Listen to Black Cat — ah, I mean my editor — say it looks like 30,000 copies. ”

Although he didn't understand why the other party said this, Jiang Yu still answered honestly.

"Thirty thousand, ah......" stirring the coffee in front of her that was almost cool, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's gaze seemed to become deeper, and after a pause, she continued to ask, "Then do you know the number of the first version of "Love Metronome" at that time? ”

"I heard...... It looks like 10,000 copies. ”

Jiang Yu still didn't quite understand what the other party was asking, so his tone became a little cautious. I don't know if it's his delusion, he always feels as if the next second, the senior sister sitting opposite is about to burst out and hurt people.

"Tsk-"

After Jiang Yu's words fell, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu's eyebrows twisted, his eyes instantly became sharp, and his whole temperament changed greatly, and for a while, he seemed to show the side of himself in the class that he had never shown in front of Jiang Yu.

However, this gesture is only fleeting, Kasumigaoka Shiyu snorted lightly, revealing a slightly unwilling expression, and whispered: "-Lost......"

The kind of complicated feelings that are seniors, but can't set an example for their juniors from all aspects, Kasumigaoka Shiyu finally realized it.

If you watch your juniors, catch up step by step, start from scratch, and finally be able to keep up with yourself, it is also a kind of fun. However, the other party has surpassed himself a lot from the very beginning......

Jiang Yu looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu who suddenly had a big change in mood, and wanted to say something, but found that it seemed that no matter what he said, it was not appropriate, so he had to remain silent in the end.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu naturally wouldn't tell him that the number of first editions of her new work this time was only twice as many as the other party's, reaching 60,000 copies...... It's not that the publishing house is not confident in her or anything, it's just that the last work was able to sell so highly, and there is indeed a certain element of chance.

After all, who would have thought that a work that was on the verge of being cut in half could be brought back to life and have a shocking reversal because of a fan's blog, right?

But after a little bit of loss, the girl with long black straight hair regained her spirits, pursed her lips, and secretly made up her mind - this work, in terms of sales, will never be lower than the average volume sales of "Love Metronome"!

For this work, she has such confidence. And believing in yourself, and then persevering, is a sufficient condition for every miracle that makes others talk about it.

……

After chatting for a while with Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who had returned to normal, Jiang Yu got up and said goodbye. And Kasumigaoka Shiyu wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said that she would sit here for a while. Therefore, although he was a little puzzled, Jiang Yu left straight after settling the account.

It is worth mentioning that when checking out, the ambiguous smile that most of the people around him who knew Jiang Yu at him really made him powerless to refute...... It seems to be a little dark again!

Ahem...... Well, that's an emotion that shouldn't be generated, let's seal it off.

On the way home, Jiang Yu turned to the nearest supermarket and replenished a wave of ingredients and snacks - speaking of which, after one more person in the family, sure enough, the consumption of both ingredients and snacks has greatly increased?

But in his impression, he doesn't seem to have seen Shiina Mahaku eating snacks...... Could it be that it was Nanako who quietly increased her own daily calorie intake? I'm really not worried about gaining weight, and this is the most worrying problem for a girl of this age......

Shaking his head with a smile, Jiang Yu quickly threw away the idea just now. I'm not going to limit that...... Since his sister himself is not worried about whether he will gain weight, he has no reason to restrict the other party in these aspects.

And...... Although it seems a little embarrassing to say, Jiang Yu, who has never had a sister before, actually enjoys taking care of each other and watching each other coquettish with him.

After all, in the last world, it was a sister (silenced)!

……

At 6 p.m. that day, from the detective slope near An Yilun's house, turn left at the intersection and walk about 200 meters along the national highway - a family restaurant "Famir" located nearby.

For his grand ideal, even if it was a weekend and two days that should have been a good rest, An Yilun had no intention of resting, and was busy diligently.

Speaking of which, he has an event that he will never miss tomorrow, and today he has put out 12 points of effort to help prepare from two hours before the store opened.

That's why he can take a vacation until tomorrow...... It's no wonder that there will be no such harsh requirements for students' part-time jobs, as long as the situation is explained, they are generally granted leave. What's more, the shopkeeper here has a pretty good relationship with him.

"An Yi, you're almost ready to get off work today."

The person who spoke was a cowardly store manager in his thirties, skinny and small, dressed in a super common store manager costume.

This person is not an otaku, but probably because of the relationship between the same glasses character, he and An Yilun are also compatible.

At least, he himself thinks so.

"No, I'll be able to stay until it closes today."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, An Yilun also said emotionally.

Yes, for the great dream of earning a million in his heart...... No, more precisely, to be able to create that game that tickles his heart!

"You're working so hard. You've been working all day today without a break since the morning, right? ”

Helping his glasses, the store manager said helplessly. Although he has all kinds of shortcomings, he is essentially a good boss who is considerate of his employees.

"It's okay, I'm totally fine. Ah-there is another guest over there, I'll be absent first~"

Hearing the bell at the door again, An Yilun also said goodbye to the store manager, turned to greet the new customers.

"Welcome, how many ...... are there?"

"Huh, An Yijun?"

What should have been a normal conversation between the waiter and the guest was a slight deviation due to the fact that both parties were old acquaintances.

An Yilun also looked at the two people in front of him with some astonishment.

One of them is a girl with a weak sense of existence who was pulled into the club by him in the name of an unclear "heroine", but she herself is actually quite happy-Megumi Kato.

The other is a handsome adult man with hair that seems to have been well groomed, and a gentle smile on his face.
