Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Surprised Machida Garden

The moment the door opened, Machida Enko straightened out the manuscript and put it aside and raised her head.

Walking in the line of sight is a young man with blue broken hair and wearing casual clothes, the young man is sunny and handsome, slender and straight, and he is the type who walks on the street and can fascinate thousands of girls.

Of course, Machida Enko's first impression of this teenager was not the boy's charming appearance, but his calm, calm and confident temperament.

"This teenager is not simple!"

This was Machida Enko's first reaction. She has been working from an ordinary editor to an associate editor for nearly a decade, and has been responsible for reviewing the works of many authors, most of whom are submitted directly to the company's mailbox, and a small number of novice authors have directly brought their manuscripts to the library for face-to-face submission.

Among the novice authors who came to submit their manuscripts in person, no one could be so calm and calm after bringing the manuscript to her, and most of them were very nervous and even sweaty.

Of course, if it is an author with a certain reputation, I believe that she can also face her calmly, but such an author, who publishes a new book, naturally does not have to come to the company in person with the manuscript.

Therefore, Machida Enko judged that this teenager should be a novice author, not only because the teenager personally took the manuscript to the library to submit it, but also because the teenager was very fresh.

However, it is not possible to say for sure at a glance, because it is possible that someone else has sold a work in other libraries.

"Hello, I'm the deputy chief editor of the Immortal River Bunko, Machida Enko."

Machida Enko took the initiative to stand up, wearing a neat and capable black OL professional uniform, with a faint smile on her face, looking very professional and revealing the mature charm of women.

"Hello, Machida Editor, my name is Otsuki Hamura, and I'm here to contribute."

Hamura chuckled in response, and gently shook the jade hand that Machida Enko took the initiative to reach.

"Mr. Otsuki, please be seated."

Machida Enko smiled and made a gesture of invitation, Hamura nodded, and then sat down in the chair arranged across from the desk.

After seeing the Hamura seat, Machida Yuanzi also sat down, the politeness of the performance has been done in place, and there is no need to be polite next, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that Hamura should not be a simple character, she wouldn't have gotten up and be polite to Hamura at all.

She went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Otsuki, are you here to contribute?" Then please send your manuscript to me for review, and if it meets the contract criteria, we will talk about the next matters. ”

Hamura nodded, then took out a notebook from his handbag and handed it to Machida Enko.

The casual movements, as well as the black leather notebook, made the corners of Machida Yuanzi's eyes twitch fiercely.

Fortunately, Machida Yuanzi is not the kind of person who pays more rigorous attention to superficiality, otherwise just with Hamura's casual, no attention to etiquette, she will mark the boy opposite as OUT in her heart, unless the other party's book can far exceed the signing standard, it is a rather dazzling work to escape this fate.

But the black notebook made her a little unacceptable. If this notebook is a manuscript, then it must be handwritten, but in this era of advanced technology, even those traditional writers of the older generation can be counted with one hand purely handwritten.

But after being surprised, Machida Yuanzi took the notebook, whether it was hand-typed or handwritten, as long as it was wonderful, it didn't matter, but she wasn't optimistic about this book in her heart.

"It's the first time Mr. Otsuki has written it, right?"

Machida Enko asked as she casually flipped through her notebook.

"Hmm."

Hamura nodded calmly.

"Haven't you ever tried to write before?"

Machida Enko continued to ask, her eyes on the page, looking at the four big characters written on the first page, and secretly said, "Sword Art Online, what type of book will it be?" ”

Hamura shook his head, "No. ”

Machida Enko is even less optimistic about this book, "But I guess Mr. Otsuki has read a lot, right?" If you read more, you will also have the idea of writing your own book, which is the case with most of the authors I have met. ”

"Actually, I've seen only a handful of them."

Hamura explained frankly: "I will try to write this light, but I actually heard that this industry is very profitable. ”

The corners of Machida Yuanzi's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "Mr. Otsuki is really ...... Be honest! ”

Then he turned to the second page, "It's a game, but it's not a joke." ”

"Is the online game type light?"

Machida Enko was aroused by this introduction, but she was still extremely unoptimistic about this book, even if it was a novice writer who had never written lightly, it was not without that kind of extremely talented genre, and the first book she wrote was extremely eye-catching, comparable to a masterpiece.

But people who haven't had much contact with even light, no matter how talented they are, I'm afraid they don't know the concept of light, and what high-quality books can they expect such people to write?

However, although she concluded that the quality of the book must be very poor, in line with the editor's sense of responsibility, she still decided to read it patiently, just read it hastily, and it was also a little face for the handsome and sunny young man opposite.

It's just that after hastily reading the opening, her eyes became extremely serious, and her hand that was about to turn the page stopped, and she read it seriously from the beginning again.

Page after page, Machida Enko looked at it very seriously, sometimes with a smile on her face, sometimes with a heavy face, and it seemed that she was completely immersed in the book.

Hamura smiled slightly, leaning back in his chair with his arms folded, looking confident. Although he himself has not read a few light books, if he thinks about it himself, he may not be able to write a wonderful story.

But he didn't have confidence in himself, but he had a lot of confidence in Sword Art Online. Sword Art Online was not good in his first world.

Although he has read only a handful of books, he can't say anything about this book, and he doesn't know how good it is, but it's so popular, there is always a reason, he can't see whether it's good or bad, but it doesn't mean that the editor in front of him can't see it, right?

As a professional editor, one glance and ten lines seem to be the basic ability, and the first volume of more than 100,000 words, Machida Enko only read it in just over an hour.

With a long exhale, Machida Enko returned to reality from the death game in it, and then stared at Hamura hesitantly, "Otsuki first...... No, teacher, are you really writing for the first time? ”

This is too exciting, the plot is decent, and there is nothing too eye-catching, but the setting of this death game is never more novel. The story is very sophisticated, the words are quite skillful, and the characters are also distinctive, not at all like a novice writer can write. ()
