Chapter 11
Early when the novel "Four Lies" won the Grand Prize, Dengeki Bunko began to promote it.
Netizens were quite curious at first, after all, the work that won the Grand Prize of Dengeki Bunko turned out to be a healing light novel!
This is extremely rare. After all, compared with the other world flow and those fantasy light novels with complex settings, the advantage of healing is not that great.
For example, which of the two series "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" and "Plastic Memories" has a wider audience?
So the advantage of healing light novels has never been very big. After all, it is very difficult to write well and be accepted by readers, let alone a work that can win the Grand Prize.
In order to promote this work, Dengeki Bunko also put part of the text online, which is for better promotion and sales, and also to let the majority of netizens see the level of this work that won the Grand Prize.
There is no doubt that the excellence of the novel "Your Lie in April" is enough to block those who say that Dengeki Bunko is operating behind the scenes.
As a result, this light novel became a little popular before it was released.
Eriri, who has a cooperative relationship with Dengeki Bunko, naturally also knew about the work Four Lies.
It's so good!
This is the only thought in Eriri's mind. This light novel is so good! She can't wait to buy a copy, but it's a pity that this light novel is still being promoted.
The cooperation with Dengeki Bunko is because of the illustrations. Eriri is undoubtedly the famous teacher Hakumu Eri in the book world, but Eriri also wants to get on the shore.
She doesn't want to rely on the name of a book artist to stay in the ACG circle, but there is no way. She has also thought about drawing and publishing comics by herself, but Eriri can't think of a complete story in her mind.
She can only draw doujinshi books.
Becoming an illustrator cooperating with Dengeki Bunko also has the idea of trying her own experience.
When she learned that the work Four Lies was looking for an illustrator, Eriri also contacted Dengeki Bunko to ask if she could do it.
The reply was a bit perfunctory. After all, they thought Eriri was famous, but that was just about the book.
The editors of Dengeki Bunko felt it was not right to let Eriri, who was famous for her erotic style, draw illustrations for a normal literary healing light novel.
After receiving the reply, Eriri knew that her wish might not come true, but she really wanted to draw illustrations for this light novel! This light novel really attracted her deeply.
She thought she had no chance, but she never thought that the author of this light novel that made her dream was her classmate? And the two of them were in the relationship of the desk in front and behind!
So Eriri got up and walked out the door without any hesitation, intending to find Xia Qiu.
"Oh my god! I forgot to take the contract with me."
Scratching the back of his head, Xia Qiu turned back and happened to meet Eriri at the door.
The other party was still holding his contract in his hand.
"This should be your thing, classmate Xia Qiu."
The other party handed over the contract.
Xia Qiu took the contract and then glanced at Eriri.
Eriri suddenly realized that she seemed to have subconsciously called Xia Qiu's name again, and hurriedly and frantically explained.
"I, I, I, I don't know Xia Qiu. I just happened to see your things on the table, and then I wondered if this thing was yours, so I opened it to see, I, I, I..."
Xia Qiu sighed helplessly. He really didn't know whether Eriri was really stupid or pretending to be stupid...
"Okay, Sawamura, I'm really not nearsighted or blind... You're not Superman, can't I recognize you with your rustic glasses?"
It's over! My identity has been discovered! There's no hope for life!
Eriri suddenly stood there like a black and white stone statue, her head trembling.
Her rustic image of a homely girl has been discovered, and she is about to become the object of ridicule.
"I don't know the person named Eriri."
You can lose as a person, but you must be tough!
"Hey... I didn't say your name..."
"Eh?"
After finding a new coffee shop, Eriri sat on the sofa feeling a little uneasy, feeling that her behavior just now was silly, damn it! Xia Qiu must be laughing at her in her heart.
Eriri suddenly felt hopeless in life.
"So Sawamura-san wants to be the illustrator of this light novel?"
After taking a sip of coffee, Xia Qiu didn't expect that Eriri actually wanted to get ashore.
Of course, no matter which artist started with a picture book, they all want to climb up and have a work of their own, but not many of them can get ashore.
Xia Qiu thinks Eriri's idea is quite normal, people always want to climb up.
"Put this aside for now, I didn't expect that the most popular girl among our students is actually..."
"Bah...Bah! You are not allowed to tell anyone!"
Eriri showed her little tiger teeth in a fierce and fierce manner. In Xia Qiu's opinion, she looked like a golden retriever pretending to be tough.
"Yes... I just like the second dimension, so what? I just don't want people in school to see me like this, so what? Laugh if you want to!"
Eri Li turned her head away aggrievedly, as if she had given up.
When she was a child, she was ostracized by her peers because of her love for the second dimension. Later, in order to better protect herself, she had to hide her true nature in school and pretend to be a mixed-race lady.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry first. I'm not laughing at you. I'm just feeling sad that my deskmate, Eriri, who looks so glamorous, is actually a fan of the second dimension."
"Really?"
Eriri sniffed and said.
"Of course it's true. Why would I laugh at you? Besides, I think we are in the same boat, so I can understand your behavior."
It seems to be true.
"Eriri wants to draw illustrations. Although I have the right to decide, I can't just let you become my illustrator based on your words. How about this... draw one for me first, and then my editor and I will decide whether to approve it."
Of course... With Eriri's strength, it is naturally a very simple thing. After all, she can become a master in the book world because of her exquisite painting style. Even if Eriri doesn't draw books, she is still the trump card of the school art club, so Xiaqiu is just going through the process.
"Really!"
Eriri stood up excitedly.
"Hehe~ Don't get excited yet, it's not certain whether you can pass, and my requirements are very strict."
"Hehe! Then just wait and see! I am the famous teacher in the industry, Hakumu Eri! Cricket illustration! I..."
Eri suddenly realized that she seemed to have exploded again without realizing it.
Hearing this, Xia Qiu held his forehead helplessly, are you the reincarnation of a self-explosive truck?
