"Why not?" Ji Kong asked a little stunned, "Is there anything wrong with this name?" ”

"Tsk...... Have you just come out of the country, or have you never paid attention to your surroundings? Iida Ayano couldn't help but complain: "Don't you know that the author of the recently popular "Sword Art Online" is also called empty?" ”

Ji Kong: "Uh...... Of course I know that. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Now that you know, do you still use it?"

Iida Ayano said in a mysterious tone: "I'll tell you a secret, in fact, this guy named Sora has a very big background, and even the chief editor of the Dengeki Library has to look at his face to act!" ”

Ji Kong: "This ...... He's just an author, no matter what, he won't show the editor's face, right? ”

"How not? People in our circle know that Hara Tianyeren, the person in charge of "Legendary Era", was once put into a prison cell by him, do you think other people are afraid of him? ”

Iida Ayano paused, and seeing that Ji Kong didn't reply, he thought that he was bluffed by himself, so he said with satisfaction: "So, it's better not to use this pen name casually, on the one hand, for fear of angering the author of "Sword Art Online" and causing him to put you in a prison cell; On the other hand, this kind of deliberately making your pen name the same as other popular authors will make others disgusted with you and think that you are deliberately rubbing off on other people's popularity. ”

"However, I'm the author of Sword Art Online!" Ji Kong couldn't help but say.

"Tsk...... Young people, lying is not a good thing to do. ”

Iida Ayano waved her hand, not believing what Ji Kong said at all.

As an industry insider, from internal channels, she already knows that the animation of "Sword Art Online" is already in production, and she also knows that Mr. Sora's "Sword Art Online" is a volume every month, in this case, where would a normal person find time to draw comics?

You know, the workload of drawing comics is greater than writing novels, and "Shonen Jump" is a weekly magazine, and it will be published once a week, so just rushing comics is enough for normal people to have a headache, and where can they find time to write novels?

It's not that Iida Ayano is mentally retarded, but that Ji Kong's existence is beyond the scope of ordinary people, and anyone who hears him say this can't believe it at the first time.

Hearing her say this, Ji Kong was a little helpless, but he was not ready to change his name.

After all, now the pen name "empty" has a lot of fame in Japan, and if you don't take advantage of such a huge fame, you just start from scratch with a new trumpet, isn't this a fool's behavior?

Ji Kong doesn't think he's a fool.

So he insisted, "If you still don't believe me, I'll ask Mr. Suzuki, the editor of Dengeki Bunko, to give you a call." ”

"Tsk...... I believe, I believe in it, right? Since you've insisted on it to this extent, then I'll put this pen name up, but the ugly words are ahead, even if I agree, the editors-in-chief above will definitely not agree, so you better think of a suitable pen name during this time, then, bye-"

After hanging up Ayano Iida's phone, Ji Kong shook his head, called Suzuki Kazuchi and briefly told him about the matter.

When Kazuchi Suzuki heard that Ji Kong actually drew a manga, and he also passed the final review of Shueisha, and was about to be serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump", he almost fainted!

This empty teacher, can you save some snacks!

Like Ayano Iida, he felt that how could a person have so much energy to draw manga and write novels at the same time?

And he went deeper into the pit, so naturally he was even more worried, if he could, he really wanted to call and tell the people of Shueisha that Ji Kong was a fake at all, so you guys should return his manga quickly!

But there is no way, now that Teacher Kong has spoken, he can only hope for Teacher Kong's discipline.

"By the way, Mr. Sora, I also have one thing here."

When he was about to hang up the phone, Kazuchi Suzuki suddenly said: "The 300,000 copies of the first volume of Sword Art Online have now been printed and are currently being distributed nationwide, and it is expected that it will be officially released this weekend." ”

"Okay, I got it."

Ji Kong nodded to show that he understood, this release time was probably also expected by him, after all, if he hadn't specifically requested it, then the official signing meeting should have been held this weekend.

After ending the call, Ji Kong walked over to Shiina Mashiro, who was painting seriously, touched Mashiro's little head and said, "Masak-chan, I have good news for you!" ”

"Tomorrow's breakfast is the ultimate Baumkuchen?"

Shiina Mashiro raised her head all of a sudden, her burgundy eyes were obviously very flat, but they conveyed an emotion called longing.

"Baumkuchen is forgotten, but what's going on in the end?!" Ji Kong covered his face with his hand, "No, besides eating cake, can't you think of other good news that will make you happy?" ”

"Comic submissions approved?" Shiina Mashiro tilted his little head and thought about it, and then said.

"It's a shame that you can think of your career in addition to Baumkuchen."

Ji Kong sighed and said: "Ah, that's right, both of our submissions in Shueisha have passed, and it will be serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" next week, and the results of the newcomer award will be released next week, judging from the current situation, our chances of winning should be quite good." ”

"Smack!"

The sound of the pencil breaking suddenly remembered, Ji Kong turned his head in some astonishment, and saw Kasumigaoka Shiyu hanging his head down, holding only half of the pencil in his hand.

"I'll go to the bathroom."

Kasumigaoka Shiwa stood up and walked towards the bathroom with her head down.

"What's wrong with her?"

Ji Kong asked with a stunned face, didn't he provoke her just now?

"Sora, just now when you were playing the game, she received a letter, and then she was unhappy." Shiina Mashiro said softly.

"What letter?"

"There." Shiina Mashiro pointed to the trash can.

So Ji Kong walked to the trash can and took out a crumpled piece of stationery from inside.

At first, Ji Kong thought it would be some kind of love letter.

But when he unfolded the letter and saw the contents on it, the whole person was stunned.

"It's a pity, Miss Kasumiko, your work did not pass the review of our editors, and you are welcome to submit it next time."

-- This is a rejection letter!
