Chapter 44
Xia Qiu knew very well that killing the chicken to obtain the egg was not a good idea, just like when others mentioned the warrior of love, the first thing they thought of was Lao Xu, the thief.
The same goes for Xia Qiu. When readers think of his name, they subconsciously think of it.
Are you a veteran of Lolita control? Isn't that just a dog comparison of writing about knives?
So, in order to better trick the dog into killing him, Xia Qiu's next light novel is planned to be released as the second volume of the light novel with a sweeter version of "Your Name". Wouldn't it be better to have half sugar and half knife?
It leaves readers in a state of hesitation because they don’t know what type of light novel Xia Qiu’s Part Two is. Just like Schrödinger’s Cat, you don’t know whether this light novel is sweet or sad. You can only read it if you buy it. Know.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu takes it very seriously. Although Shiyu likes to talk about things, in fact, when it comes to light novels, her attitude is particularly serious, as if she has entered a state of selflessness.
Xia Qiu didn't feel comfortable asking how the writing was. To be honest, Xia Qiu didn't know if the plot she had adapted for "Your Name" was in line with the public's taste, although this anime movie does have a novel version.
But most people have only watched the movie, including Xia Qiu.
But Xia Qiu still believes in her level 3 writing ability.
Soon Kasumigaoka Shiyu finished reading just 30,000 words.
Taking a long breath, Kasumigaoka Shiyu had to admire her junior classmate when it came to light novels. "Your Name" undoubtedly suited her taste.
And compared with "Your Lie in April", "Your Name" is written in a more literary and delicate way, making her feel like she is watching a movie.
The exchange of souls between the male and female protagonists at the beginning, and the subsequent unfolding of the plot, really made Kasumigaoka Shiu sigh ~
It's really amazing...
"Sometimes I really have to wonder if Junior Brother is an alien. Light novels of this level are no longer something I can comment on. When compared with Junior Brother, I always feel that my "Metronome of Love" There is no comparison.”
Smiling self-deprecatingly, Kasumigaoka Shiyu really felt that people were different, and some people could really be called geniuses.
"Senior, don't belittle yourself. After all, in my eyes, senior is also very powerful."
"Are you trying to comfort me, junior fellow student?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu supported her chin with her hands, her beautiful eyes smiling.
"How is it? After being comforted by my junior, do you feel much better? Don't fall in love with me."
"Pfft, Senior Cricket Cricket is really arrogant. I should be the one to say this."
Indeed, after being comforted by Xia Qiu, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's depressed mood became much better.
After the two settled their accounts, they planned to go to the Immortal River Bunko to attend an exchange meeting.
Compared to Dengeki Bunko, Fusugawa Bunko can only be said to be a small workshop. Naturally, it cannot compare with the industry's leading Dengeki Bunko and Kadokawa Bunko, but its development is still pretty good.
It has also produced many great authors with sales exceeding 500,000, as well as many light novels that have been successfully animated.
"Xiao Shi! Come on, come on! I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The editor-in-chief of Kasumigaoka Shiu is an OL working woman named Machida Enoko.
At this moment, Machida Enko looked at Kasumigaoka Shiu, and then at the boy next to Shiu.
Then he covered his mouth in feigned surprise.
"Xiao Shi, this is your boyfriend! They really are a talented and beautiful couple. Hehehe~ Xiao Shi's boyfriend, are you interested in submitting articles to the Immortal River Library, and then you and Xiao Shi can form a couple author?"
When it was mentioned that she was Xia Qiu's boyfriend, Kasumigaoka Shiu's face turned slightly red. After all, she was still a girl~
"I'm sorry, I'm a friend of Senior Shiyu and a junior in the school. This time I'm just here to accompany Senior to the exchange meeting."
Hmm~ The same type of editor as Iris, Xia Qiu looked at Machida Enko and thought.
Oh~ Really?
After looking at the state of the two of them, Machida Enko felt that the relationship was not like that of ordinary friends at all, right? It's more like a close boyfriend and girlfriend.
Besides, it's not like she didn't understand Xiaoshi. If the relationship between the two was not close, how could Kasumigaoka Shiyu invite that boy to participate in the exchange meeting.
"Haha, instead of worrying about my relationship problems, why not think about whether your blind date was successful? You are an old woman who is married to a third-year-old woman, and she is still making fun of us young people."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with an unceremonious poisonous tongue.
Machida Enko looked as if she was struck, and her whole body seemed to be petrified.
"It's too much! Xiao Shi is too much. It's not like I don't want the blind date to succeed. Who knows, the remaining men are more weird than the last. Plus, the editorial department is busy with work. Besides, I'm not that bad, am I?"
Machida Enzi thought to herself, as if she was stunned.
Are all older single young women like this now? She vaguely remembered that Chang Pu also complained to herself about her failure experience in the blind date market.
Okay, this topic is over, Machida Enzi led Kasumigaoka Shiu and Xia Qiu towards the exchange meeting of Fusugawa Bunko.
On the way, Machida Enzi still asked Xia Qiu if she had any ideas about opening a book, and drew a cake for him, talking about how good the treatment at Fusugawa Bunko was.
And I promise that as long as Xia Qiu wants to delay the manuscript, he will delay the manuscript and will not rush him.
Her appearance seemed to remind Kasumigaoka Shiyu of her past self, and it seemed that she had also been fooled by her. As for delaying the manuscript?
That's all lies. If you really do it, you'll be sent to the dark room immediately.
"Why is your editorial department still recruiting people recently?"
"Hey, Xiao Shi, you don't know, I sit in the office every day and look at the pile of manuscripts written by that group. I feel uncomfortable as if I have eaten a fly, and the performance of the Fuzugawa Library has not been good recently."
At this point, Machida Yuanzi quietly came to the side of the two and whispered.
"And, let me tell you, not long ago, all the light novels that the editor-in-chief decided to promote were all flops, because they collided with the release date of the Four Lies, resulting in poor sales, and the traffic was all eaten up by the Four Lies, so now I have a stern face every day."
If the boss is unhappy, how can the subordinates' lives be better?
Moreover, the cost of promotion is real money, but the sales are just like this?
Not even the book has been recovered, so recently the Fuzugawa Library is eager to publish a light novel that can stand out and recover the recent losses.
"Besides, Xiaoshi's editorial department has decided to cut some novels that are not selling well. If the second volume of "Love Metronome" sells poorly...it may be on this list."
