The Only Male Protagonist Chapter 456

Neon's New Year's holiday is in January. Starting from New Year's Day, students will have nearly a month's vacation, and workers will have a small vacation of a few days.

To be honest, if Sonoko Machida hadn’t mentioned the Sword Art Online anime, Yuki Rito would have almost forgotten about it.

Facing Machida Sonoko's eyes on him, Yuuki Rito turned his head uncomfortably.

"Um... how many episodes of the Sword Art Online anime has it been released?"

All of a sudden, the surroundings became quiet, and even Gabriel, who was playing with her phone with her head down, raised her head in surprise.

Everyone did not expect that Yuki Rito, the author of the Sword Art Online light novel, game producer and animation chief supervisor, would not know how many episodes the animation is now.

This guy, it hasn't been a long time since he watched the anime adapted from his work, right? !

Machida Sonoko covered her face with her hands helplessly.

"Episode 12 will be broadcast next week."

"oh oh."

Yuuki Rito acted as if suddenly realized, nodded repeatedly, and then felt Machida Sonoko's unfriendly eyes, and also felt that his attitude towards Sword Art Online was a bit contemptuous, so he quickly remedied it.

"I have already written the next volume of Sword Art Online. I will publish an additional volume in the first month. In terms of games, it is natural to carry out New Year's activities. I think the business-minded head of the library branch has already thought of this and started it. Ready, as for the anime, it’s not humane to ask the staff to work overtime during the holidays, so I won’t broadcast a new episode. I remember that normally an anime season has 12 episodes, so in the twelfth episode of Sword Art Online At the end, tell the audience that the first season of Sword Art Online has a total of twenty-four episodes... Uh, you haven't announced this yet, have you?"

"Such information has been disclosed through unofficial channels."

"Then this time it's an official announcement."

Yuki Rito let out a breath, feeling that he performed well, fans of Sword Art Online should forgive his previous ignorance.

And Kasumigaoka Shiwa and Gabriel looked at Yuki Rito with a strange look, this was the first time they saw Yuki Rito's business moves.

How should I put it, although I don't know what kind of repercussions the measures Yuki Rito said will have when they are implemented, but at least for now, Yuki Rito's crisp and neat posture is very handsome.

0640 The next step of the library

In fact, with the current size of the Fantasia library, as long as you don’t take some mentally retarded measures, everything can continue to develop step by step. The so-called holiday activities are just icing on the cake. No matter whether the flower is beautiful, as long as it is a flower, after all, the original Fantasia library It is already brocade.

There is indeed nothing wrong with the measures Yuuki Rito said, Machida Sonoko nodded, then seemed to think of something, and said a little unnaturally.

"Benku will start the light novel New Year Awards. If it wins the top three, the library will hold some promotional and award-giving activities. Are you free?"

Machida Sonoko's words made Yuuki Rito raise her eyebrows.

"Does this mean that I will still be present at the promotional and awards events? Should I present the awards in person?"

"No, no, although many excellent light novels have appeared in the library recently, your Sword Art Online has opened up an era of light novels after all, and has accumulated a large number of readers. It is destined to win awards. You should accept the bonus and cooperate publicity."

"It doesn't make sense, Sword Art Online is famous enough now, bonuses and awards, you should know that it's useless to me, find a way to exclude Sword Art Online from this awards ceremony... Well, in the first three It is decided to add animation to the famous reward, Sword Art Online has already released animation, so there is no need to participate, that’s it.”

In fact, Yuuki Rito’s real psychology is that he doesn’t want to waste time. The study of the concept of fate has not yet come to a conclusion. It’s fine if he spends time with the girl he cares about. For a while, Yuuki Rito felt that he had suffered a blood loss.

Seeing Yuki Rito so easily give up the reward she must get, Kasumigaoka Shiwa, as a light novelist, is in a very complicated mood now. Whether it is publicity or light novel awards, they are all things she longs for. Although the love metronome can be regarded as It is a popular work, but in the light novel ranking of Fantasia Bunko, it is out of the top five, and it is barely within the top ten.

As for animation, that is a level that Kasumigaoka Shiwa has not been able to touch, or in other words, it is a level that is difficult to touch in light novels other than Sword Art Online.

After Yuki Rito set various quality standards for the animation production department of the library, the animation of light novels has become a matter of huge investment. Although the success of the Sword Art Online anime has allowed them to see the benefits in this regard, the library has not in the past. So many talents are able to produce two high-quality animations at the same time, as Saki Tenjoin said, everything in the library is making concessions for Sword Art Online.

Now the booming Fantasia library can produce two to three high-quality animations at the same time. Machida Sonoko did not have a strong willingness to refuse Yuki Rito's words, but said hesitantly.

"In that case...the cost should be huge, right?"

"The expenses are high, and the income is also large. You should also see the income list of Sword Art Online, right? Animation is one of the ways to create an independent IP. It can be called brand effect. In addition to selling light novels, anime CDs, In addition to income from online membership and other channels, there are also income from games and peripherals. Even if other light novels do not directly produce a large-scale mobile game like Sword Art Online, they can also produce Galgame. Xiayang will discuss it on his own."

Yuuki Rito started a little bit, and after pointing out a way for Machida Enko, he was too lazy to say more. This kind of behavior of arousing other people's appetite and then abandoning it made Machida Enko feel extremely uncomfortable. Kasumigaoka Shiwa Also had a similar feeling.

Seeing that apart from Gabriel who was still playing the game seriously, Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Shiwa were all staring at him with shining eyes, obviously looking forward to the next one, Yuuki Rito continued helplessly.

"Forget it, anyway, there are a lot of talents in the library now, it's time to start further development, Shiwa, didn't you also help with some of the work of the Rouge Club? You can let Hongsaka Akane start leading the club to produce a love metronome as the The original Galgame."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's gaze suddenly became full of surprise, the girl who was originally confident and had a dark belly showed an uneasy look at this time.

"Can the love metronome really make a Galgame? Shouldn't we hold a competition first, and then let the Rouge Society select good enough works to make a Galgame?"

"Compared to fantasy battle light novels, love metronome, which focuses on love daily life, is one of the best choices for making Galgame, but I don't deny that I have opened the back door for you now, so don't let me down."

Yuuki Rito talked about so much work all at once, and the people in the library naturally had a lot of things to deal with. Sonoko Machida, who had already seen the angel and felt that her fantasy had collapsed, stood up at this moment, and said with some complaints.

"At first, I thought I could have a holiday today, but the work has actually increased. It seems that I have to go to the library branch first. Teacher Xia Shizi, you'd better come here together. You also need to get a general understanding of the work of Galgame production."

Yuuki Rito originally wanted to say that Machida Enko doesn't have to be so busy with work, and it doesn't matter to be an idler from now on, but if you think about it carefully, just like her main goal is to become stronger and capture beautiful girls, Machida Enko's goal is It is to do the work of the editor-in-chief and head of the headquarters well. Before the work is so heavy that it affects people's physical and mental health, there is no need to stop her.

Moreover, Yuki Rito doesn't think that Machida Sonoko invited Kasumigaoka Shiwa to leave together, just for work.

Seeing Kasumigaoka Shiwa and Machida Sonoko standing up together, Yuki Rito finally asked.

"Don't you want to play more while you're in Chiba City?"

"One word from the boss, the subordinate ran away. It seems that Mr. Kayaba still doesn't understand the hard work of ordinary workers like us. However, during the New Year holiday, I may really want to disturb you."

"Please feel free to bother, Shiyu and you too."

Machida Sonoko and Yuki Rito's intimate conversations made Kasumigaoka Shiwa's eyes flash with envy, and she did not respond to Yuki Rito's invitation, and Machida Sonoko left to the Chiba branch of Fantasia Library in silence .

Chapter 0641 Gabriel's curiosity

However, Gabriel, who had been playing with her mobile phone with her head down, raised her head at this time, her eyes stayed on Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Shiwa's receding backs for a moment, and then she looked back at Yuuki Rito and asked.

"New Year's holiday, what activities will the game have?"

"..."

Yuuki Rito was breathless when asked by Gabriel. He had seen the expressions and behaviors of the angel girl and thought she was going to ask about Kasumigaoka Shiwa or Machida Sonoko, but in the end he asked about game activities , I really deserve to be an angel of the house.

"Let me see."

Yuki Rito opened the mailbox of the mobile phone. As expected, there were a bunch of emails from various departments of the Fantasia library. Ignoring those routine report emails, it took a long time for Yuki Rito to find the information about the game activities of Sword Art Online. proposal.

"Starting the New Year's Ceremony, there will be a large number of event monsters on each floor of Aincrad. After defeating them, you will get event points, which are used to draw event prize pools, including props, equipment, and event-limited costumes for each character... huh? With Yukinoshita Yoshino's personality as a profiteer, it's weird that he only wants the player's life and not money."

Yuki Rito continued to scroll through the mail while reading the content of the event to Gabriel.

"During the New Year's event, if you can recharge the game to reach the specified amount, you will have the opportunity to draw an autographed book from Sword Art Online and other physical prizes."

Yukinoshita Yoshino's traits of a profiteer are finally exposed, as expected, he wants money and life. Seeing that Yukinoshita Yoshino hasn't gone mad enough to directly sell krypton gold items that break the game's balance, Yuuki Rito will just leave it alone With one eye closed, the proposal was passed.

Gabriel, who had been listening attentively to the side, couldn't help asking when she saw Yuuki Rito stop.

"Is it gone?"
