[Congratulations, Mr. Iwai, your light mention has been adapted into the anime.] ]

Before I saw this news, I was still contemplating at one o'clock in the morning at night how this quarter's light business drawing book would pass.

When I learned that the above message jumped on my phone, and the username was still my editor in charge, Kawataki Editor-

I was so shocked that even the pen in my hand pierced the five-layered paper.

Light, captured, adapted, animated.

These words have been circling in front of my eyes, looking straight ahead, clear and like a world away.

This reminds me of a remark that the editor-in-charge said to me when I was allowed to enter the industry: [In this industry, giving up is the most common and common thing].

I didn't quite understand it at the time.

Isn't everyone entering this industry with enthusiasm and the longing of the characters in their minds to shine in reality?

However, after six years of continuous writing, I gradually understood the actual meaning of the phrase responsible editor.

In the past six years, the debut novel, the former former work, the former work, the previous work. It's like a stone sinking into the sea, and even a part of the hard work that can't even be called a wave has been forgotten by the world.

I thoroughly understood that enthusiasm cannot be eaten.

That kind of suffering, loneliness, and depression instantly made me realize that I am nearly 30 years old and about to start to officially enter middle age!

In middle school, high school, and college, every time I went to a party and listened to these former classmates talk about various topics such as marriage, going abroad, children, promotions, and starting a company, I felt a sense of powerlessness and haggardness.

There is not only the guilt of my parents who are far away from my hometown, but also the confusion about the future of my life, and the apology for the characters I write.

I'm almost thirty years old, what have I been doing for so many years?!

Yes, I can only earn money to support myself by continuing to write to this day.

The price of a single book is between 600~800 yen, and the royalty you can get is 10% if you count the number of releases. There are some authors who haven't improved for many years are 8%, and I happen to be like that.

There is no manuscript fee for light authors, and all income depends only on royalties from publication and distribution.

According to the average annual income of young people in Japan is about 4.4 million yen, in order to achieve this figure, the author must sell more than 70,000 copies of the light in a year. Counting the tax amount, there will be more than 10,000 more copies!

For a young writer like me, who is between a rookie and a stalwarts of the middle, the publisher gives about 12,000 copies for the first issue, and the second episode will drop to seventy or eighty percent of the first episode, and the number after that will all be estimated in units of 1,000 copies, and if it is only finished in three or four episodes, this number will drop again and again.

Judging by the above criteria, it is even more difficult for Yiyi to achieve sales of 70,000 copies in a year.

And even if it achieves sales of 70,000 copies, it is barely enough to reach the average annual salary!

The work should not be too long, just according to four episodes a year, that is, one episode every three months.

And every time an episode is released, you need to write a planning book, and the planning book must pass the review of the editorial department, and you must also ask an illustrator to draw an illustration. While waiting for the editor's reply, it is not good to modify the previous text, so I can only wait.

No matter how much you underestimate your budget, it will be beyond the three-month range.

If you are beaten back at that time, all the manuscripts you wrote before will be in vain!

In other words, all the effort and time invested in these months has been in vain!

Coupled with the shrinking book market and the increasing number of light writers, you need to compete with hundreds of light writers every quarter. Talk to the editor?

I think that's the case with the vast majority of light authors. Either gritting his teeth as a part-time writer and insisting, or gnawing at his parents' old books, he fantasizes that he will always have a dream of becoming popular one day.

Even though he knew that there were only a few hundred views at a time, he still diligently wrote promotional articles for the publication of his new book on Twitter. Living a life of praying that your works will not be buried in the light of publishing more than 100 copies a month, only to see that your books have been removed from the shelves of bookstores the next month.

Too much.

There are too many emotions.

For people like us, it is a dream that my work can be adapted into animation, an unattainable dream, and it is also a hope for me to stick to it for a long time.

I want to see my favorite characters loved by everyone, and I want to see the characters I write are supported by everyone.

I want to see the love shown by the interaction between the characters in my pen be understood.

I'm glad that this can be done.

So, every time I make an animation, I take it seriously to make suggestions, thank the readers, thank the editors, thank the company, and thank everyone in the production committee.

Seriously, everything is like a dream.

At the dinner, editor Kawataki patted me on the shoulder while holding a congratulatory wine glass and said:

"That. Teacher, congratulations, but it's just a proposal now, and the animation hasn't been officially finalized. In other words, there is a possibility that it is not ready to be made. ”

"Huh? That's it. ”

"However, the people on the animation production side have told us that the funder has a suggestion that we need to agree to, I wonder what you think, teacher?"

"This. What could be the problem? ”

"That is, the voice of the heroine must be a person designated by the management, a newcomer voice actor."

Would it be fine, right? And if the voice actor is casting, I shouldn't be able to speak."

"Hey, you can't say that, your support is also very important, teacher! You're writing about love, and according to the market, you should have heard of this type of animation, and the production of an episode is only 10 million at most, a season. It's only about 100 million, but do you know how much money the management gives? ”

"How much.?"

Kawataki smiled and stretched out five fingers.

"50 million?"

"Hahaha, cough cough cough," Kawataki slapped me on the shoulder with a smile, almost choking on the drink, he took a while to regain his strength, and said with a gaffe smile, "It's 500 million!" 500 million! ”

I couldn't close my mouth in surprise.

As far as I know, the production cost of the episode "Ice Candy" is only more than 11 million.

And if you adapt this one, there will be a maximum of 13 episodes in one season, right?

The cost is evenly shared, and it is close to 40 million per episode!

What is this concept?!

It's the same level of funding as Kyoto Animation's "Violet Evergarden"!

"Of course, because the deadline required by the management is very short, the work has to be spread out more, and it is impossible to achieve the level of Violet. But even so, the quality level is absolutely superb. ”

"Congratulations, teacher!"

In short, my life was on a rollercoaster ride during that time.

More than half a year has passed since then.

Recently, the animation has also begun to be officially broadcast.

Like the unexpected explosion during the promotion, my animation has also become popular on the Internet because of its high quality, and the blessing of a senior animation production company and popular directors and scriptwriters.

Naturally, sales of the original have skyrocketed.

As soon as the animation was broadcast, it sold 23,421 that week.

I could have replied to readers' comments sentence by sentence, but now I can't reply at all.

Every day I open Twitter, there are countless comments and likes.

Countless questions came to me, bloggers with many followers began to recommend my books, and even my mom and dad, who don't usually ask me much about things, didn't know where they heard the news and called to report the good news.

At the moment, the time is reached for the official release date of the sixth volume.

In order to cope with the popularity, the library and the production committee decided to jointly hold a sales event.

Invite yourself to the stage to talk about your creative feelings, and invite voice actors to sing and perform on stage.

- When I tweeted the propaganda myself.

It's no longer the kind of hundreds of traffic, sporadic and a few likes.

It's thousands of likes, countless supportive rumors such as "I'll definitely go then", "[to support Hidaka-chan] and so on.

There are also animators, illustrators and illustrators who have carefully carved out character illustrations.

All of this is for sure!

I see these.

I couldn't help but burst into tears, and the feelings that had been suppressed for six years seemed to have been proven at this moment.

Memories of the scenes to this day, there is really only gratitude left in my mind.

There's also a dreamlike sense of unreality.

——————

"Teacher, teacher!"

Iwai Shu broke free from the memories, and it was his own editor-in-charge, Yoshiichi Kawataki, who stood in front of him and shook his shoulder.

"Ah, yes, yes."

Editor Kawataki smiled: "I heard AP (assistant producer) call just now, saying that the voice actors will arrive later, do you want to go and greet them together?"

"Can I go?"

"Teacher, you are the original author and one of the protagonists of this activity, why not?"

Editor Kawataki said this, anyway, he was idle sitting here and idle, so he came to the back of the venue with AP Mitsuo Maeda.

Of course, the voice actor of a work will not be from the same office.

But the one who is going to come out to greet you right now is naturally Miss Sakakihara, the protagonist of today's event.

Iwai Shu knows some inside story, and knows that Miss Sakakihara, who is the voice actor of the heroine of this seat, has an inextricable relationship with the employer.

Most people know the same thing as him.

To be honest, when I auditioned, Iwai Shu was originally worried that the rookie voice actor was not strong enough, and what should I do if the management intentionally praised it?

But the truth still put him at ease.

Although Sakakihara is a newcomer, she is quite serious about her work.

She has to ponder the lines and scripts of each episode for a long time, and do a good job of marking and precautions.

Even the original book, as far as Iwai Shu knows, she has read it at least five times.

Every time I work, I communicate with myself for a period of time and discuss the plot of the characters. Although I'm not very good at talking to girls.。

It's no wonder that their own readers leave comments under their tweets.

[It's nice to have Saka-san as the heroine, don't worry.] ]

He looks cute and has a serious work attitude.

Thanks to her, Hidaka Ho's character performed quite well in the anime.

Sunny, handsome, confident, and occasionally show loss and tenderness.

Maybe you don't need to use money to promote, she will become famous one day sooner or later, right?

Iwai thought so.

The WOD office car came soon.

After the people in the car got off the car one by one, Mitsuo Maeda, who was an assistant, greeted loudly and energetically:

"Good morning! Miss Sakakibara, Miss Sakai Chi, and Mr. Niimura. ”

"Morning, good morning." Sakai Chi Tian replied first.

"Good morning, please advise me today."

I saw Sakakihara Suzu, who looked extraordinarily delicate today, folded her hands in front of her, and bent down slightly like a princess to make a beautiful greeting. The agent, Shinmura Shi, followed her like the princess's personal bodyguard.

To be honest, this agent has the posture of an agent, with a smart style and a straight suit, as if everything can be handled perfectly to the good.

The broker will not talk about it.

Miss Sakakihara herself has seen many times, and this newcomer does not look like a newcomer at all, and his style of handling things and greeting people is very polite.

In front of his predecessors, he was very relaxed and took the initiative to greet all kinds of people warmly.

Iwai Shu greeted Mitsuo Maeda.

Miss Sakakihara seems to be a high school student, right?

Iwai has always felt like a high school student who has never seen the world, and he doesn't even know how to talk to people when he goes out.

After a few small talks, Mitsuo Maeda invited them into the elevator and followed him.

Iwai was the third to enter, and he had to stand still in front of the control panel, staring straight up at the flickering floor numbers jumping and flashing above.

The cramped space of the elevator was simply embarrassing, and the gravity and silence that didn't even allow the cough to appear made the shoulders heavy.

As an author, do you want to say something to the voice actors?

But for high school students, he's already an uncle, right?

Wouldn't it be rude to take the initiative to speak?

Although there is a common medium, I really don't know what to say to them.

Yes, I don't talk to girls at all.

"Are there any other sales items today?"

Miss Sakakihara suddenly asked, behind her. This made Iwai panic for a moment, and thought that Miss Sakakihara was opening a song to him.

Mitsuo Maeda, who is AP, quickly replied with a smile on the side: "Yes, in addition to the sale of the teacher's works, there are other peripheral items that need to be sold on the spot, such as light sticks, towels, key pendants, T-shirts and other items." ”

It's really enviable.

Should it be said that it is worthy of being an assistant? I can talk to people so freely.

If Iwai Shu talks to the voice actor, he is afraid that because he doesn't know what to say, plus he avoids his gaze or something, he will be mistaken by the other party in his heart for a "perverted middle-aged uncle" with improper thinking.

How embarrassing that is.

Mitsuo Maeda and Ms. Sakakihara continue to talk behind him, and the topic revolves around "today's arrangement", although the communication between them always refers to "sensei", that is, himself.

But Iwai always has a feeling that he can't interject and is an outsider.

"I don't know, can you want me to see the new library book first?"

It took Iwai a long time to come to his senses as he stared straight at the flickering floor numbers.

Miss Sakakihara was really talking to herself this time.

"Ahh

Iwai Shu replied in a voice that he was not very skilled at talking, "If Miss Sakakihara wants to see it, I'll go to the warehouse and get a copy later." ”

The author probably signed the book - the idea popped into my head.

I wanted to ask if I needed a signature.

But when I think of myself as an author with a big fart, what kind of signature do you talk about! There is no such qualification at all.

Iwai didn't go on.

"Well, there's no need to bother the teacher at all, Miss Sakakihara needs it, I'll just get it." Mitsuo Maeda immediately said with a light smile on the other side.

While talking, several people arrived at the station and stepped out of the elevator.

"This." Sakakihara Suzu smiled in front of several people, and deliberately nodded to Iwai Shu in front of him, with a little polite apology, "My main purpose is actually to get the teacher's autograph."

"Signature? Haha, I see," Mitsuo Maeda nodded, and said to Iwai Tree, "Why don't I go and help the teacher bring the book first?" ”

"Yes."

I don't know what to answer, so I can only prevaricate with an affirmative sentence.

Iwai didn't expect that Miss Sakakihara would want her autograph.

After six years of writing, he himself almost didn't know what the value of his pen name was!

Walking into the lounge, it didn't take long for Mitsuo Maeda to come over with two brand-new volumes of the sixth volume. I gave myself a pen and a book.

"Sakakibara-sama, can you sign it on the first page?"

"Everything."

Iwai picked up the pen and signed his pen name on the first page behind the cover with an unfamiliar understanding.

"What is Suzu-chan doing?"

"Ah, I'm asking for an autograph," Suzu Sakakihara said with a smile as she held up her signed library book, "Iwai-sama's work has been really hot lately, and you can often see discussions about it." So I asked for an autograph before Mr. Iwai was so popular that I couldn't climb high. ”

"Haha, Suzu-chan is too cunning, isn't it?"

Of course, the lounge is not only the two voice actors Suzu Sakakihara and Sakai Chi Sweeteno, who just arrived, but also people from other offices.

When they found out that they were actually signing autographs, they all gathered around.

Alas, how can this be said to be good?

It's lively, but the number of people asking for books and autographs has also increased.

Miss Sakakihara's compliment is really exaggerated!

What is so hot that it can't be climbed.

In the first half of the year, he was just a light author who no one cared about.

I couldn't resist everyone's enthusiasm for autographs, so I really had no choice, so Iwai Shu had to ask Maeda-san to go to the warehouse to get a few more libraries, sign them one by one, and distribute them to everyone.

"Mr. Iwai's work is really hot right now!"

"It's just that recently, colleagues have been discussing that the people who receive this animation scene should follow the tide."

"yes, yes."

Since I really didn't know how to answer, I could only reluctantly use "yes" to prevaricate the answer.

This period can be described as restless.

After that, assistant Maeda-san went to fetch a lot of things, a bunch of glow sticks, T-shirts, keychains and other similar peripheral products. Each one is packaged in a very neat way.

"That."

The eyes in the lounge all looked at the assistant who coughed dryly, Mitsuo Maeda, "These are all just mentioned, today's peripheral products, you will refer to them first, and at the same time, these are also things that I want to give you today." ”

"So much?!"

"Huh! Are you sure? Is it really okay to take it casually? Thank you! ”

"One for everyone."

Probably the meaning of the production company, everyone present has a piece of merchandise.

Even Iwai Shu himself has the author.

I have to say, the production is really concise.

Looking at the smiling on the peripheral products, the heart of the female character Iwai Shu in his pen gave birth to a burst of warmth.

Just as everyone was looking around curiously, Iwai noticed that Miss Sakakihara had been looking at a keychain.

That's not the heroine Hidaka played by herself.

Rather, in the work, Hidaka's brother, as the eldest son in the family, Hidaka Hagi, who has long since died.

- This character does not officially appear in the work, but is presented as a memory of the heroine's past.

Overall, it's a character who takes on Hidakaho's upbringing.

A character like this who didn't appear in the feature film shouldn't have been in the peripherals.

But I can't stand the reader's request, and the producer still made a small batch of small peripherals of Hidaka Hagi in a small way.

This keychain is in it.

Miss Sakakihara looked over and asked herself:

"How did Mr. Iwai come about writing the character of Hagi Hidaka?"

Iwai Shu subconsciously avoided his gaze, but he was also thinking seriously: "This Hagi Hidaka is a very, very important person for the heroine in her life journey, and it can be said that she has influenced her for a lifetime." In order to make things reasonable, and at the same time because of the identity of a classmate I met when I was a child, I wrote the character of Hagi Hidaka. ”

As he spoke, Iwai Shu sighed to himself:

"It's a brother and sister who have no father or mother since they were children, and they live in a relative's house, and Hidakahagi's influence on Sui is too great."

"Is it the kind of psychology of unconditional trust?"

"Yes, that's the mentality." Iwai immediately turned around, surprised by Suzu Sakakihara's understanding of the role of Hidaka, "After that, the male protagonist was able to get Sui's liking, which was largely influenced by his resemblance to Hagi." ”

"Then on the day Hagi died, Hidaka must have cried very sadly."

Iwai Shu immersed himself in the book and replied sadly: "Indeed, it should be said that it has been a long period of slump. After all, it is the most important dependence in the first half of her life, and the heart that suddenly disappears and does not want to live is also the most fundamental reason why the heroine tries to contact the male protagonist in the rain for the first time - he is very similar to herself. ”

"Sakakibara-sama likes Hagi's character very much?"

"Yes," Sakakihara Suzu replied earnestly as she looked at the key in her hand, "I like it very much, it gives people a feeling of relying on and supporting." In the long run, it will really be difficult to let go. ”

"That's it."

Sakakihara Suzu pinched the surrounding keychain, smiled and said to Iwai Shu: "Actually, there is such a person in my family, who was able to embark on the path of voice actor at the beginning, and also relied on his encouragement intentionally or unintentionally on weekdays Once my voice was very uncomfortable and sleepy, I woke up and found a cup of flower tea that could moisten my throat." ”

"I take the liberty of asking, is it a brother?"

"Yes, brother."

"Then Sakakibara-sama, you should respect him very much."

Sakakihara Suzu thought for a moment and said, "This. It should be respected and hated.,Feelings are very complicated.,Maybe there's a contradiction.。 Seeing the memories between Hagi's character and Ho, I can't help but think of my brother, who is a single parent. Dad left us and left, Mom was busy, and he was always taking care of me. He never scolded me and I really appreciate him. ”

"I didn't expect Sakakihara-sama to have such an experience."

Iwai reminds him of the anime's critically acclaimed sixth episode, which describes memories of the past between siblings.

He tried his best to write at a level close to reality in the original work, there was no exaggeration, just a very warm and warm brother and sister relationship, and then the sad past of this relationship was suddenly cut off.

It's no wonder that fans praise it, probably because Miss Sakakihara invested real feelings in this scene.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Iwai, you are really infuriating, you actually write so excessively Hagi so well, but let Sui watch her brother die in front of her with her own eyes."

"This is the true story, does Sakakihara-san know? At that time, there was an elderly man driving in our area, because he was old and in a trance, he accidentally hit a father's daughter against the wall, and he didn't hit it at first. The father dropped the groceries he had just bought, roared and banged on the car window, shouting to the old man inside, 'Hey! Get me off! Get me off! But the old man didn't know if he was scared or what. Holding the steering wheel with her hand all the time, and slamming on the brakes, the daughter kept screaming in pain in front of her father's eyes until she was completely out of breath."

This passage silenced the topic for a long time.

"That's why you're going too far, Mr. Iwai!"

"Yes, I plead guilty to this. At the request of fans, I will probably open an IF line in the future, and I can barely fill everyone's regrets. ”

Sakakihara Suzu smiled and said, "Am I looking for any top-secret information from the author's mouth?" ”

"Not really."

"But overall, I'm very grateful to you, Mr. Iwai, for creating this work, and everyone is very grateful that it came."

"Sakakihara-sama-chan doesn't have to be so formal."

"It's nothing, just thank you, sir, for writing such a work, and then give me a chance to grow."

Miss Sakakihara was called away by her agent and left to work.

Iwai remembered how she had just spoken.

No wonder, no wonder everyone likes her.

Treat people kindly, have a beautiful face, be polite and upright, not only the hidden identity behind it is quite extraordinary, but even the work is 100,000 serious.

When I talked to her, I was naturally respected.

maintains a cute and serious character design when facing the screen, and in reality, he is a junior who respects his predecessors.

With such respect for people, she must also have great respect for her brother!

——————————

"Stinky Lele! Stinky Joy! What to buy is not good, buy this! ”

In the dressing room, after changing into Alice's dress, Suzu Sakakihara looked at her phone to see if Sakakihara had replied to her.

But as a result, there was none!

She had always been reassured by the black rabbit doll she saw today.

He. He, he, he, what's not good!

What do you do with this for your birthday?

Is it implying to yourself something?

Is it implying that he has the same fate as the original owner of the black rabbit doll?

Hey~~

What a perversion.

I, Suzu Sakakihara, will never accept it, well, absolutely not!

I don't know why, he didn't reply to his own messages.

No, no, I have to ask him when I go back in the afternoon.

There is also the clothes that I am wearing now. It's too much of a shame.

Suzu Sakakihara stood in front of the mirror and looked at the blue and white dress on herself, Alice.

There is a bow tied at the waist, a bow tied at the neckline, and even a bow at the door of the head!

He also wore white stockings and small leather shoes with round toes.

The whole is a fairy tale match.

Also. Shame on you!

Suzu Sakakihara thinks that it is already a very, very good situation that she can maintain her expression on stage without collapsing.

Not to mention, I had to say hello to the fans who came to the launch party on stage, singing and dancing in this outfit.

Sakakihara Suzu now wants to die.

"Suzu-chan's dress is cute." Sakai Chiten looked at Suzu Sakakibara.

"It's too cute. Make me like a little girl."

"I think the makeup you drew also looks like Hidaka's ho, it's just a character who came out of the anime, huh!"

Knock knock

There was a knock on the door.

Poking in was Suzu Sakakihara's agent, Shishi Nimura.

"Miss Sakakibara, and Miss Sakaichi, let's prepare a little, and go on stage in half an hour to practice and rehearse."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

"Hmm." Shinmura left.

Sakai Chi Kanno turned around again and looked at Suzu Sakakihara, who was full of embarrassment, "Come on, Suzu-chan!" You're going to be a voice actor idol in the future! You've been super popular on the Internet lately! ”

"Okay."

Suzu Sakakihara sat down discouraged.

Half an hour later, the practice arrived as scheduled.

The purpose is to sing two songs.

One animated op, one animated ed.

OP is a chorus, and ED is a cappella sung by Suzu Sakakihara alone.

After going on stage, those female voice actors and seniors all came around, surrounded Sakakihara Suzu, pulled her clothes and said that she was cute and cute.

She kept touching the bow on her body.

Suzu Sakakihara blushed, feeling that she had really become everyone's doll.

I won't talk about the rehearsals after that. What a shame!

She jumped and jumped and wanted to bury her face, and was stopped several times because of this.

If Sakakihara is offstage.

That ironclad is over, Sakakihara Suzu has no face to see people!

The practice lasted until the afternoon after lunch, and the setting of the launch party was pretty much the same.

Only Sakakihara Suzu is still uncomfortable.

"Suzu-chan, come on!"

"Even if I'm sweet, you say come on, this dress"

"How cute!"

"It's too cute!"

"Anyway, Suzu-chan come on!"

“.”

After that, Sakai Chiten said that she was going to the toilet and left the dressing room first.

There is still an hour to go, and I heard that there will be a lot of people attending this sale in the snow, and it will be quite lively.

Suzu Sakakihara thought to herself that she was finished this time.

No one else she dances so ashamedly, as soon as this person comes, she will soon be even more finished?

"What should I do?"

Sakakiwara Suzu stirred her hair, and at the same time wanted Sakakihara to give her the doll, whether it meant that much.

She hadn't thought about it for long.

There was another knock on the powder room door, and it was pushed open.

I thought it was Sakai Chi Tian who came back from the toilet, but I didn't expect that the person who came directly made Sakakihara Suzu's eyes widen.

She raised her hand and said in amazement:

"Fox, fox!"

"That's what you're talking to your patrons?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue dusted the snowflakes on her shoulders, pulled the scarf around her neck, and soon walked in.

She was still carrying a small schoolbag for school, apparently coming out of school just now.

"Funders? What do you mean? ”

"I remember telling you about it before. But it doesn't matter, you just need to know that I'm half your boss now. ”

Tianhai Qimingyue approached Sakakihara Suzu, saw the blue and white skirt on her body, and looked at the clothes on her body with curiosity.

"It's cute." She watched it for a long time and gave such an evaluation.

Endure. It's cute?!

Sakakihara Suzu was so ashamed that she couldn't help it at all, and said with a red face: "Me! I don't need this kind of praise from you! ”

"Shy?"

"Just, no!"

"If you're shy, just say it. And as an older sister, isn't it natural to praise your younger sister? ”

Sakakihara Suzu turned her face arrogantly with red ears, but the clothes on her body only made her lose her temper like a little girl: "I don't want to talk to you about these useless things, tell me quickly, what are you doing with me today!" I know you won't come to me if you have nothing to do. ”

"Who said that? My sister-chan has been very busy at work lately, can't I care about it? ”

"You," Suzu Sakakihara suddenly seemed to realize something, and asked in surprise, "You don't mean to say that my work is all arranged by you, right?" ”

"That's not true, I'm only responsible for leading, funding and making requests, and the specific work is naturally arranged according to the actual situation, which is my business."

"Are you really a funder?"

"Didn't you see the word 'Tianhai' from the investor? Even if it's not my property, you should understand that it has something to do with me, at least, I can use these things. ”

"Are you really rich? Where did you get so much money. Sakakihara asked curiously.

"Pocket money."

"Bragging! How can any family let a high school student manage so much money! ”

"Believe it or not, it's my sister-chan's own business." Tianhai Qimingyue looked Sakakihara Ling up and down, "And aren't you benefiting from the investment in this work now?" Big Red Newcomer. ”

"How can it be so red"

"More than 100,000 followers on Twitter is not a small number."

Sakakihara Suzu suddenly sensed that something was wrong: "You! , it's on me again, I want to ask you! What are you doing with me? ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue crossed her hands, closed her eyes and said, "Recently, have you noticed that someone has basically ignored you?" ”

It's a bit indeed.

Suzu Sakakihara was quite disappointed when she thought of this.

She unconsciously turned her back on her hands and kicked the air under her feet.

She whispered in a small voice, "This, it's none of your business." And, shouldn't it be your fault? What do you like my brother for, why do you like that guy? ”

"First of all, I have to correct you that guy owes me in the first place."

"Owe you?" Sakakihara Suzu wondered, "What do I owe you?" ”

"So, you two don't have any memories at all." Tianhai Qimingyue sighed helplessly, took out his mobile phone, found a photo from the past, and pointed the screen in front of Suzu Sakakihara.

"Take it and take a look."

"What."

Suzu Sakakihara took her phone and took a closer look.

The more you look at it, the more wrong it becomes.

In the photo. Isn't that exactly who you were when you were a child?

And the old brother when he was a child.

Also, there is a little girl holding hands with herself

Wait, who's this little girl?

Sakakibara tightens the image with two fingers.

Flaxen hair, sky-blue eyes, face shape, and a vaguely familiar look.

No, it won't, right?!

Suzu Sakakihara began to compare the little girl with blue eyes in the photo with the seven bright moons in the sky in front of her.

The more you look at it, the more it looks.

It really looks like it more and more.

Sakakihara Suzu was suddenly shocked: "You, you, how can you be in this photo!" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue shook his head sadly: "Isn't this an obvious thing? ”

"You must have modified it with a computer!" Suzu Sakakihara immediately gave the answer, and self-convinced, apparently agreeing with the answer.

Why didn't we know each other since childhood." Tianhai Qi Mingyue gave a practical answer directly in disappointment.

"Of course it's because it's impossible! In this photo, I am holding your hand and holding your hand? Haha, how is this possible! ”

Tianhai Qimingyue: "What if I said that you used to call my sister and said that you would leave a portion of delicious food for my sister in the future?" ”

"Impossible! Anyway."

Sakakihara Suzu looked left and right in the photo, but the more she looked at it, the more she was impressed, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she knew, but she didn't dare to confirm it in her heart, and finally returned the phone directly to Tianhai Qimingyue.

"It's just not possible anyway! There's no way I'm going to call you this fox sister! ”

Tianhai Qimingyue's index finger tapped his arm: "I don't want to tell you these games of guessing truth and falsehood, if you think about it, you will probably know why I said that guy owes me." And sister-chan, you owe me too, you told me before that you would give me a delicious agreement every day. ”

There was so much information that Suzu Sakakihara couldn't turn for a while.

Wait, wait. If Qi Mingyue and herself and her brother have known each other since childhood.

Then isn't she with her brother or a childhood sweetheart?!

What is this?

Is it a green plum from the sky?!

Then my sister, still has a chance to win?!

Tianhai Qimingyue: "Can't remember?" I remember when we went boating together, you couldn't climb up the wall in the orange grove and cried."

“.”

Sakakihara Suzu held a suspicious expression, and then looked at the face of Tianhai Qimingyue.

The more you look at it, the more familiar it becomes.

It's really more familiar the more you look at it.

Like, as if. There is such a person.

She suddenly appeared and said that she wanted to play with herself and her brother.

When she first appeared, she pushed her, not wanting her to be with herself, and not with her brother.

Naturally, the back is really fragrant, and it was quite enjoyable.

"Even if so, what now? What's the point of you telling me this? ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue looked at it with slanted eyes: "I just think, doesn't my sister think that the relationship with me is very good?" ”

"What do you mean.?" Suzu Sakakihara couldn't help but shrink back.

"Isn't my relationship with you closer than your relationship with my sister?"
