The total number of copies sold on the first day was 12W.

"Your Name" is a short storybook, and it is also a hardcover book, so the price of one volume is 700 yen, and if you add beautiful illustrations, it will cost 1,000 yen.

Different bookstores have different marketing strategies, so this price is difficult to fully determine.

However, if you only use 700 yen as the manuscript fee.

Japanese royalties are calculated by multiplying the author's royalty income by a certain percentage of the net sales after deducting costs such as taxes and return on sales. This ratio is usually between 10% and 15%, but because of the pressure of Fukuzawa Makoto and the quality assurance, Saionji Akino made an exception and got a high proportion of 13%.

15% requires a lot of performance, fame, awards, etc., which is already a very face-saving publishing house.

120,000 copies x 700 yen x 13% = 1,092,000 yen.

Although this is just an estimate, Saionji Akino has indeed achieved a single-day income of more than one million at present.

As a rookie author, this is obviously already a very good achievement.

Of course, such results can be achieved due to the publicity of the publishing house, as well as the Amway of a series of light authors on Twitter driven by Fukuzawa Makoto, the quality of the book itself, and so on.

After Saionji Akino replied to the publisher, he was thinking about saying thank you to Fukuzawa Makoto or something.

But after thinking about it for a while, I felt that just saying thank you on the Internet was too perfunctory.

Fukuzawa Makoto's favorite thing is words, so I'll write a little story and send it to her as a thank you note.

After Saionji Akino returned to his room, he quickly began to write.

During this time, his learning in dreams has not been interrupted, his writing skills have improved from lv3 to lv4, and his guitar is about to go from lv3 to lv4.

For him now, there will be more, it is not as good as being fine, his initial idea is to train these to the level of lv5 first, and then find new things to learn, otherwise it is just mixed and not refined, he actually has no advantage compared to other geniuses who are also studying hard.

To do it, you have to do it to be the best.

——

In the early morning of Saturday, it was the first time that Sakuraba Chiyuki woke up so early.

It's 6.45am, but she doesn't have the slightest sleepiness, her mind is full of thoughts about going to the live performance today, she opens the curtains, looks at the slightly gloomy sky outside, she sits cross-legged on the bed, opens the guitar bag, holds the guitar on the snow-white delicate thigh, and plays it softly and softly.

After a long while, my heart was not at slight.

Although she has a desire to express and confidence, this is the first time in her life to appear on stage, and she will still be nervous...

Also waking up early are Rika Shinohara, and Tsukiyama Dong, who also woke up at about the same time, and began to try to beat the drum kit or play the bass.

Only Asa Yu Yili slept soundly, she saw two o'clock in the morning last night, if it weren't for the fact that today was Saturday, she probably had to go to school with dark circles under her eyes.

At this time, Asaba Ichiri was still in a dream, and in the dream, she exchanged bodies with Saionji Akino, and at this time she was controlling Saionji Akino's body, in the bathroom... Bathroom!?

The lines are clear, there are abdominal muscles, the chest is firm and full, and you can see the outstanding jawline of the teenager and the Adam's apple on the neck...

sexy…

Seeing this, Asaba felt that something was wrong, and she suddenly got up from the futon, gasping for air, and her face seemed to be steamed.

She subconsciously recalled the dream just now, and then hurriedly fell to the ground because of guilt, kissing the tatami mat with her head, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not intentional, it's not intentional, please forgive me for my offense, Saionji senior..."

"What are you doing?" Asaba Oriyuki looked at her sister who was doing performance art again with a puzzled expression.

“…… No, nothing..."

"Did you dream of Saionji-kun?"

"No, no, no!"

"Poof, look nervous." Asaba Oriyuki's pretty face is also a little crimson, after she watched "Your Name" last night, she actually dreamed of Saionji Akino.

It's just that I dreamed that I was lying on the lawn with him, looking up at the comet that was about to fall to the ground...

I don't know why, she didn't feel shy or anything at that time, she just felt very relieved and comfortable.

Of course, I'll still feel ashamed when I wake up, after all, I dreamed of other boys or something in my dreams...

"Okay, aren't you going to participate in the joint practice today, wash up later, and go out to find your friends after lunch." Asaba Oriyuki straightened Ichiri's body and gently smoothed her loose hair.

"Lunch? Now, is it twelve o'clock? ”

"yes, you've slept all morning, big lazy." Oriyuki Asaba pinched Ichili's nose and smiled, "Okay, hurry up!" ”

——

After lunch, about one o'clock, the four members of the band met together on the side of the commercial street, at this time, you can see that the stage has been fully formed, around a circle in the middle, amplification equipment, microphone stretcher, everything is very ready, they only need to go up directly later, connect the instruments and amplification equipment together.

Since it is a Saturday, and Dream Happiness Street has been hyped up by marketing in the past few days, the population flow has also reached a peak on the weekend, and the busiest time is generally in the afternoon.

is the time when they come over now, and the commercial street side can be regarded as giving them a prime time arrangement, so that when they play together, there will not be no audience willing to stay.

In fact, when the four of them were distinct and different, and there were three beautiful girls with musical instrument bags on their backs, they had already attracted the attention of many people.

"Look, look, are they the young band that's coming today?"

"It's so cute~ so young! But that blue-haired girl is so cool, I kind of like this type of girl~"

"Blue hair? I prefer that blonde, at first glance, it's the type that is tired and tired~"

"Two-dimensional dead house kimo~"

"The red-haired little sister is also super cute, and she looks like she gets along very well~"

"Why don't you talk about the pink-haired one?"

"Huh? Got pink hair? ”

"If you don't say I didn't see it..."

"I seem to see a gray mist drifting by..."

Today's Ichiri Asaba didn't follow her sister's advice... It's absolutely impossible for her to wear any cute clothes, and then make a special hairstyle to participate in this joint practice... Today, I still wear a pink tracksuit.

Being able to take the stage with a guitar is already her limit!

Although the words of the surrounding passers-by are indeed a bit harsh, but, even if I am a yin angle now, I am also a yin angle in the yang corner!

Asaba Ichiri worked hard to cheer herself up, and at this time, she had come to this point, and she no longer wanted to escape at every turn like before.

"Ichiri-chan! Come on later! ”

"Come on! I don't know anything about guitar or anything, but come on! ”

"Uncle is optimistic about you!"

"Yili sauce, remember to bring a friend to my side to get the cake after the performance later, I have prepared a consolation gift for you!"

"Me too, remember to come to me to get fruit!"

Contrary to the reaction of the young people, the uncles and aunts in the shopping street can be said to love the house and Wu, because everyone is very familiar with Saionji Akino, so naturally they all know Asaba Ichiri, even if she only stayed in the commercial street for two afternoons.

When Yue Shandong heard that there were consolation products, his eyes flashed with light, and the momentum of the whole person changed.

Rika Shinohara, smiled, "Sure enough, Ichiri-chan is still very popular with uncles and aunts..."

Asa Yu Yili: "No, no, it's just the blessing of the predecessors of Xiyuan Temple..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, so she quickly turned her head to look at Sakuraba Qianxue beside her.

But I found that Sakuraba Qianxue didn't seem to hear it at all, and she was lowering her head at this time, thinking something there.

Yesterday she felt confident that she would be able to maintain a relatively calm mind until this morning.

But now when she was about to go on stage, when she thought of facing so many people, her heart beat faster and faster, so fast that she thought she was going to jump out of her throat.

The sight of the surroundings, and the discussion of people.

This reminded her of some bad experiences in the past.

Sakuraba Chiyuki took a deep breath, tried to tense her body, and looked at the team members beside her seriously.

"Let's go up, it's almost time."

"Well, let's take it easy, after all, this is the first time to practice together, and it's normal to make mistakes, don't worry, just take your time." Rika Shinohara, said.

"Hmm." Sakuraba Chiyuki continued to tense her body, and then followed the team onto the stage.

After going on stage, the perspective is completely different from that of the audience, the commercial street is still very sincere, and the height of the stage construction is moderate, but it is also conspicuous enough.

Looking down from above, you can see a large number of pedestrians coming and going, and at this time, because they are about to start practicing together, many young people have stopped here.

Sakuraba Chiyuki could feel herself trembling, and the tension was not relieved in the slightest.

She didn't understand it.

She's obviously very confident, but why is this happening?

Hands shaking... Can't stop?

"Sakuraba-san... You, are you okay? Asa Yu Ichiri tried to care, after all, Sakuraba Qianxue's legs were also shaking, and she could see it clearly.

On the contrary, she felt... OK.

Because she worked at an oden restaurant and came into contact with a large number of customers, she was actually used to the feeling of being looked at, in addition to not being able to look at them.

Besides, the audience in the audience will not necessarily look at her.

The three people next to her are each so conspicuous, and the only thing that can be seen is that...

"Ahh

They had a light smile on their faces, their lips opening and closing, as if they were saying something.

Asa Yu Yili suddenly felt warm in his heart, and he was even more motivated all of a sudden.

That's right, there are still people watching me, so be sure to behave well!

Sakuraba Chiyuki didn't hear Asa Ha's inquiry, she was completely immersed in her nervous world.

Soon after, it was Rika Shinohara's MC opening: "Hello everyone, we are a newly formed ending band, and what we are going to perform today is the more popular rock songs in the past few years, a total of three tunes..."

"Well, listen!" After Rika Shinohara, Tsukiyama Dong, and Ichiri Asaba glanced at each other, they also tried to make eye contact with Sakuraba Chiyuki.

But it seems to have failed.

Sakuraba Chiyuki's whole body was tense, and she didn't have the energy to pay attention to others, she put all her energy on the guitar and the microphone.

She not only has to play, but also is responsible for singing, in fact, the task is quite heavy.

With the first sound of the drum kit, the bass slap and the guitar follow, and the music officially begins.

Sakuraba Chiyuki didn't drop the chain as soon as she came up, she managed to keep up with the rhythm and successfully started singing.

Although her voice is biased towards a delicate girl, she has a particularly powerful sense of power when she sings, and the effect is very good.

The first piece was completed without any thrills, and there were mistakes, mainly focused on the playing of Chiyuki Sakurabi, but the others basically did not make mistakes, and it was indeed very successful as a first ensemble performance.

The joy of success made the girls relax, so much so that the three of them didn't notice that something was wrong with Sakuraba Chiyuki.

Because excessive tension can cause fatigue, Sakuraba Chiyuki is already a little dizzy now, but she is still tense and ready to cooperate with everyone at any time.

The second song, the beginning is good, but in the middle, Rika Shinohara, made a major mistake, she entered the wrong beat as a drummer, which directly caused everyone to be messed up, and then the follow-up, Ichiri Asaba and Tsukiyama Winter quickly adjusted, but Sakuraba Chiyuki couldn't do it.

Her whole person was messed up, she couldn't keep up with her singing, and she played in a mess, and finally broke her voice in the closing stage because she was too anxious, and the originally good performance completely overturned.

also because of the performance of this second song, many of the audience laughed.

At this time, Sakuraba Chiyuki also blushed because of her serious mistake just now, and her legs trembled even more.

In the last song, Rika Shinohara, because of her previous mistakes, caused a mistake by herself, and the Sakuraba Chiyuki was in a mess, and she felt very guilty in her heart, and her spirit was not concentrated enough, so from beginning to end, none of the beats were right.

And Sakuraba Qianxue still made mistakes behind her, such as playing mistakes and broken sounds, but even so, she gritted her teeth and insisted on finishing the show.

It's a good start, but why does it end like this?

The girls were obviously a little dazed.

In the follow-up, they thanked the audience, and when they got off the stage, they didn't dare to look at the expressions of the audience.

The bad performance also shut up the uncles and aunts who wanted to cheer them on...

As soon as she got off the stage, Sakuraba Qianxue couldn't hold it back, her eyes became red, and she burst into tears, "I'm sorry everyone, because of my mistakes... It's a mess for this show... I'm sorry..."

She never thought it would be such an ending, obviously she was full of confidence yesterday, and she had practiced so many times...

And it's okay to play the wrong one, the broken sound is something she really can't accept, and she usually sings very well... This simply wouldn't have happened today!

The shame made her unable to raise her head at this time.

"It's okay Chiyuki... It's not your fault this time, it's me... The second song accidentally got into the wrong beat. Rika Shinohara, soothing Senyuki Sakuraba in an extremely soft voice.

Yueshan Dong also said: "It's okay Qianxue, it's just the first time to practice together, it's already very good that we can perform like this, don't care too much about this failure." ”

Ichiri Asaba carried her guitar bag tightly, although she also felt that the performance was not very good, a little regretful, but this was still within her acceptable range.

"Sakuraba-san, don't be too upset, it's okay..."

"Let's wipe our tears, Chiyuki." Asaba Oriyuki also came to them at this time and handed a tissue to Sakuraba Chiyuki.

Sakuraba Qianxue looked up and saw that it was Asaba Oriyuki, and suddenly felt even more embarrassed, and threw herself directly into Asaba Oriyuki's arms and cried.

"Sister Zhixue... I, I'm disgraced..."

Asaba Oriyuki gently stroked her back: "It's okay, it's okay, it'll be better next time, it's just a small problem, don't worry too much." ”

——

After everyone comforted Sakuraba Qianxue together, everyone thought about going to the dessert shop just now to sit down and eat some desserts to heal their wounded hearts.

And Rika Shinohara, after seeing that Sakuraba Chiyuki was okay for the time being, said, "You guys go to rest first, I'll go to the bathroom first..."

After leaving these words, Rika Shinohara walked quickly forward, and along the way, she could feel the dazzling gaze around her, even if others didn't say anything to ridicule her, she still felt that the words of the people around her were terrible, and she didn't dare to listen to them.

Rika Shinohara, who gradually picked up her pace, but didn't look up at the road, undoubtedly bumped into someone.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."Rika Shinohara's nose was sour, and tears were already rolling in her eyes, ready to erupt at any moment.

"It's okay, Rika, are you okay?" The person who was hit was none other than Saionji Akino.

"Saionji senior..."Rika Shinohara looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and the guilt in her heart deepened a little.

"Yes... I'm sorry, it's all my fault, because of my mistake, let Chiyuki be on stage..."Rika Shinohara knows, Saionji Akino has done so much for their band, and the core purpose is to let Sakuraba Chiyuki perform well in the band.

But... Right now...

Rika Shinohara's tears fell to the ground and couldn't be stopped for a while.

Seeing this, Saionji Akino slowed down his voice and asked, "Rika, do you want to drink something?" ”

"Huh?"

"Come with me."

Saionji Akino took Rika Shinohara, to the end of the shopping street, there is a vending machine around the corner at the end, and the people here are the fewest and the cleanest.

Saionji Akino came to the vending machine and bought a can of the most bitter coffee with a coin.

Then he opened it on his own and handed it to Rika Shinohara.

"Saionji senior?" Rika Shinohara's nose snorted and looked at Saionji Akino suspiciously.

"Coffee please." Saionji Akino smiled gently.

"Thank you..."Rika Shinohara took the coffee, took a sip, and was sobered up by the unusually bitter coffee.

She couldn't help but stick out her little tongue, "Okay, it's so bitter..."

"Now, do you still feel uncomfortable with the failure of the performance just now?"

“… Uncomfortable. ”

"Then take another sip."

“… Not... It's so bitter..."

"Still feel uncomfortable?"

"It's still a little."

"Then keep drinking."

Rika Shinohara, didn't stop until she was a third of her drink and couldn't drink it anymore.

"Before, senior, I can't drink..."

"Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"It's like... It's better... But the main thing is that the tongue is numb. Before she knew it, Rika Shinohara, she stopped crying, and the stuffy feeling in her chest dissipated a lot.

"Can you give me the coffee?"

"Okay, okay."

Saionji Akino weighed it, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm probably only a third of the drink left." ”

"So for you, Lixiang, the sadness of this failure, if you quantify it with this can of coffee, is the bitterness of two-thirds of the can."

"Two-thirds..."

"Well, Lixiang, you can remember this bitterness, that is, remember this failure, and you can think about it in the future, in order not to drink such a bad coffee, in order not to taste this bitterness that is enough to numb your tongue, you should think about how to try to improve."

"Failure isn't terrible, Lixiang, it's just like drinking a very bitter can of coffee for us, come on, eat a candy." Saionji Akino took out a mint candy from his pocket and handed it to Rika Shinohara.

Rika Shinohara, stunned, took it, then peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth.

"It's so sweet..."

"This means that it is often the success that comes after the failure that makes people more happy, and the candy will be sweeter."

"Actually, this time your performance failed, I don't think the problem is on you, it's because I didn't think it through." Saionji Akino smiled bitterly, "I should have built the stage earlier, and then when there were few people in the evening, let you come over and familiarize yourself with it in advance, in this case, it may be much better when you practice together today." ”

"It's a bit of a stretch to build the stage, though, but if you come back on Sunday, it's a lot safer... Sorry, this is my question. ”

"No, no, no... How could it be your problem with seniors... It's me... If I hadn't made a mistake..."

"A single mistake doesn't cause an overall failure, and there must be a reason for that."

"But, but, it's really because of me..."

"Since this is the case, then even if everyone is at fault, if there is a similar performance in the future, we will negotiate together, and we will definitely do better when the time comes, right?"

Rika Shinohara, looking into Saionji Akino's eyes, suddenly understood what he meant by what he had just said.

Just don't let me get into the horns and take all the blame on myself......?

The predecessors of Xiyuan Temple are really mature...

"Hmm... I know the seniors..."

Suddenly, a voice with anger sounded, and Sakuraba Chiyuki, who was not far away, quickly ran towards Rika Shinohara, and then pushed Saionji Akino away very hard.

"What are you doing to Rika!?"

Saionji Akino was pushed back a few steps back, and at the same time, the coffee can was also emptied, and the black coffee liquid was poured on the white shirt he was wearing today, leaving a very conspicuous stain.

Sakuraba Chiyuki's movements were so fast that Rika Shinohara, who didn't react, and Isori Asaba, who was standing around the corner and witnessed this scene, was also stunned.
