The depressing writer of the anime series, Xue No cried and begged for a break

Travel to the world of anime.

Gao Chuanshuo relied on his previous entertainment works, starting with the Four Lies, and embarked on the path of sending knives to depress readers and audiences.

Firefly Forest, Dragon Clan, Plastic Memories, Love Letter, Snow Country, Demon Slayer: No Longer Human, Spirited Away, Death Note…

Yukino: “Why is it another new work by Takagawa Saku? My heart will never heal again. I beg him to stop writing.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha: “It’s really too sharp. Can anyone tell me whether Jisu-kun (Jisu is the homophone of “Saku” in Japanese) has any meaning?”

Shinomiya Kaguya’s face was filled with grief and anger: “Takagawa Saku is trying to stab me again? Please go to your death and deify Miss Eriya!”

In the weekly magazine AERA, which has the largest circulation in Japan, there is such an evaluation of Takagawa Saku:

The depressing writer of the anime series, Xue No cried and begged for a break
Chapter 1, Newcomer Award, “Your Lie in April”!
Recently, Gao Chuanshuo solved the mystery in the womb and recovered his memories of his past life.
He found that he seemed to have traveled through time and space into the everyday world.
Also studied at Sobu High School.
That’s right, it’s the high school where Yukinoshita Yukino and the Great Sensei attend.
But the family was very poor and the whole family depended on the mother alone to support it.
Besides him, there is another sister in the family who is in middle school and another one in kindergarten.
Fortunately, while recovering his memory, his depressive literary and artistic system was also awakened.
So, Gao Chuanshuo is trying to change the situation!
…
KALA——
The wooden door of Gaochuan Shuo’s room was opened, and a girl in a middle school uniform walked in.
She put down her schoolbag and saw Gao Chuanshuo busy at the table again.
“Brother, are you serious about writing a book?”
Takagawa Saku, who was sitting cross-legged at the low table, concentrating on writing on manuscript paper, glanced at his younger sister Yuiga Mizuki.
“Well, I’m almost done. There’s a newcomer award for Dengeki Bunko right now, so I can submit my work in the next two days.”
The different surnames are because the girl with high ponytail is not his biological sister, or in other words, he is not the biological son of the Weiwo family, but an adopted son.
The neon economic bubble burst.
The number of homeless people in the park has increased.
Many people brought their children with them to lie on the railway tracks to burn charcoal, and there were also many abandoned babies and children on the roadside.
Originally, the Takagawa family was our neighbor.
But after the economy collapsed and the house was used as collateral for debt, the Gaochuan family chose to burn charcoal at home, and Gaochuan Shuo was lucky to be rescued.
Eventually, he was adopted by his kind neighbor, Weiwo Huazhi.
Weiwo Huazhi and Gaochuan Shuo’s biological mother are best friends.
In order to preserve the bloodline of the Takagawa family, she did not let Takagawa Saku change his surname to Weiwo, and Weiwo’s family gradually got used to it.
My brother’s writing level…I, Shui Xi, was speechless.
She knew about the Newcomer Essay Contest and even went to a classmate whose family owned a bookstore to learn more about it.
Only manuscripts of 100,000 words are required for submission.
Once selected by the library, you will get a valuable publishing opportunity.
Once sales reach a certain level, it can be adapted into animation, film, or even games.
The most important thing is that top novelists make a lot of money.
Her Chinese grades are pretty good.
She had the idea at that time, but her work was eliminated in the first round of review.
I heard that the economic situation is bad now, and there are countless people who want to change their destiny by writing novels.
The novel industry is much more volatile than before.
“Brother, my classmates said that novelist is one of the most competitive professions in Japan now.”
“There are countless people working towards this goal.”
“It’s hard to make a name for yourself in this industry just on impulse.”
Gao Chuanshuo turned his head and looked at her slightly worn school uniform with a look of pity.
Yuiga Mizuki is very beautiful.
She is well-behaved, sensible and capable. She usually takes care of almost all the housework. She is always considerate of her brother and is a very good sister.
“I know, I’m just trying it.”
“If I really get the royalties, Ye Yue’s kindergarten tuition won’t be a problem, and I can also buy you a new school uniform, and mom won’t have to work so hard anymore.”
Normally, I work in a lingerie store.
But in order to increase family income, he would set up a stall near his home to sell oden in his free time.
Yuiga Mizuki nodded. She originally wanted to say that if someone really wanted to submit an article, she could help take a look at the text, which might be of some help.
But before he could say anything, the doorbell rang.
“Brother, there should be a customer who wants to buy oden. I’m going to leave first.”
My mother works in the lingerie store from afternoon to evening. During this time, she and my brother will help look after the oden stall at home.
Let’s talk about helping my brother with the writing after I close the stall.
“Okay, I’ll get ready and go out. Call me if you need anything.”
Gao Chuanshuo is organizing the manuscript of “Your Lie in April”.
The content feels extremely familiar.
He was sure that what he had in his hand was the musical masterpiece that he remembered.
In fact.
This work does not come from his memory.
But it comes from the depressing literary and artistic system.
Maybe he was affected by the system. Before opening this system novice gift pack, he didn’t remember “Four Lies”.
He couldn’t even remember all his works from his previous life. He just had a general impression and knew that such a thing existed.
The system is also very simple.
Collect depression points through your own published works, continue to exchange them for works in the system store, and draw some skills and props to strengthen your body.
But it seems that there are no Yin-Yang eyes, Zanpakutō, cursed tools, monsters, etc. that can make people lose their SAN…
This world is probably really normal.
When I drew “Four Lies” from the novice gift pack, I felt a little guilty. Isn’t plagiarism a bit immoral and spineless?
But gradually he discovered.
Morality and backbone are nothing.
Only by making money can you survive.
According to the catchphrase of some of the heavily made-up customers of Oden,
This damn world, as long as I can survive.
You can do anything.
Just don’t fool yourself and think you are a great writer.
not to mention.
Those creators do not exist in this world…

ActivityRegister as a Filo member and get 200 points![Register Now]Chapter 2: Childhood sweetheart is Saki Kawasaki (old version)
Around six or seven in the evening, people who should get out of school go home, and people who should get off work go home.
The oden stall is getting a bit lively.
But they are basically neighbors and regular customers, and they can chat with each other.
All kinds of materials are selling well today.
Especially radishes.
Some products are in short supply and it is difficult to keep them in stock today.
“Brother, Sister Shaxi, please help us take care of Ye Yue. Remember to leave some radish for her. She also likes to eat radish. Add some fish balls, bone balls, and meat tofu…”
The sister Saki that Mizuki mentioned is Saki Kawasaki, the eldest daughter of the Kawasaki family who built an old house next to theirs.
Those who live in this area don’t have good family conditions.
It’s quite a coincidence.
Saki Kawasaki and Saku Takagawa are childhood sweethearts. They grew up together and are still classmates now.
Saki Kawasaki’s younger brother, Daishi Kawasaki, is a classmate of Mizuki Yuiga.
Their youngest sister, Yuiga Hazuki, and Kawasaki Saki’s youngest sister, Kawasaki Kyoka, were classmates in kindergarten.
This makes the two families very familiar with each other.
Usually when the stall is busy at night, he would ask Saki to help take care of his younger sister Ye Yue.
The oden delivered by Weiwojia every day can also help the Kawasaki family save more living costs.
After a while, we got used to helping each other.
It was almost nine o’clock in the evening and my family was preparing to close the stall.
Saki Kawasaki came over holding Yuiga Hazuki’s hand.
“Good evening, Sister Shaxi, thank you for your help.”
Yuiga Mizuki greeted.
He quickly served hot tea and the reserved oden.
“Good evening, Mizuki, you don’t have to be so polite. We are all neighbors, and we are happy to help…”
As she said this, she also gave Yuiga Mizuki a bag of tomatoes.
“Oh, these are tomatoes we just picked from our yard today. There are so many. You can take some and eat them.”
But after giving out the tomatoes, Saki Kawasaki felt a little awkward.
“By the way, Mizuki, I recently found a job, so I may not be able to help you take care of Ye Yue at night. I’m very sorry.”
Yuiga Mizuki was stunned, and quickly pulled Kawasaki Saki’s hand, shaking her head repeatedly.
“It’s okay, Sister Shaxi. It’s already a big hassle for you to help take care of Ye Yue. Since you have a job, there’s nothing we can do. Just let Ye Yue come with us to the stall.”
“By the way, Sister Shaxi, please come to our house after my brother and I finish closing the stall. I have something to ask of you, brother.”
Saki Kawasaki looked puzzled.
“What does Gao Chuanshuo want to do so late at night?”
Gao Chuan Shuo, who was tidying up his stall wearing a headscarf and an apron, poked his head out and rolled his eyes at the girl with a long ponytail.
“I’m fine, but could you please stop calling your childhood sweetheart, Saki Kawasaki, by her full name?”
Saki Kawasaki put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction.
“Please don’t be sneaky and eavesdrop on our girls’ conversations, okay?”
Wei Wo Shui Xi explained in a low voice:
“Sister Shaxi, actually my brother has written a novel, and I’m planning to ask you to review it together. There is strength in numbers.”
Saki Kawasaki was slightly stunned.
A novel written by Saku Takagawa?
Ever since he met Takagawa Saku at the age of three, this guy has been the center of attention and a shining star.
He has accomplished many miraculous feats with ease.
Even in kindergarten.
Many little girls said they wanted to marry Gao Chuanshuo.
Even now in Sobu High School.
He is also very popular with girls.
Hmm… maybe because she was too familiar with him, she couldn’t understand what was so handsome about this guy.
I don’t know if those girls are blind.
But coming back to the matter of Gao Chuanshuo writing novels.
Saki Kawasaki was very curious. She glanced at Saku Takagawa and raised her chin.
“A Sow?”
“puff.”
Only I, Mizuki, chuckled.
But after being glared at by Gao Chuanshuo, his sister blushed and lowered her head.
This Saki Kawasaki is too venomous.
She’s comparable to Kasumigaoka Utaha, I really want to beat her up.
He used to be good at science, but writing was his weak point.
When I was in the first year of junior high school, in an essay writing assignment on the theme of cute animals, other classmates wrote about Hachiko, kittens, dolphins, white cranes, Nara deer, and Kumamon.
Therefore, his essay “A Sow” was in stark contrast to others, but the essay template was complete and the subject matter was novel, so it successfully became the subject of the teacher’s comments.
As a result, this legendary composition, which was a masterpiece of art, became popular in the school.
The look of Saki Kawasaki trying to hold back her laughter is very touching.
“A Shuo, I don’t mean to laugh at you. Your Chinese grades are indeed pretty good now, but I must go over and take a look at the novel you wrote.”
Gao Chuanshuo: “…”
He is not an author and does not like to be famous. He just wants to make some money by exchanging some systematic works.
He never considered himself a novelist or a great writer.
But Saki Kawasaki looks so abominable.
I must use “Four Lies” to torture her until she cries.
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
Chapter 3, the group member is Kasumigaoka Utaha! (Old version)
After closing the stall and returning home, Gao Chuanshuo used the remaining ingredients to make a midnight snack to fill his stomach.
“Sui Xi, go and run the water to take a bath first.”
Only Mizuki was lying on the hard sofa, fatigue was obvious on her face, and she stood up bravely.
“Brother, let me finish soaking the kelp first and then wash it, so that I can go to bed early when mom comes back.”
They didn’t know how to soak kelp before.
It was always my mother who came back from the night shift and soaked kelp to make the broth for tomorrow’s oden, and then got up early the next morning to prepare the ingredients.
“I’ll take the bath, you go take the bath.”
Gao Chuanshuo took action without hesitation and started soaking kelp.
It doesn’t take two people to soak kelp.
Mizuki had no choice but to go to the bathroom to flush the water.
For Japanese people, taking a bath is absolutely necessary, even if their family conditions are tight.
Gao Chuanshuo has just finished his work.
Yuiga Mizuki also came out of the bathroom. She was wearing a loose and somewhat worn pajamas, with wet hair draped over her shoulders.
“Brother, go take a shower while the water is still hot.”
This time Gao Chuanshuo did not refuse.
He gathered his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
Small compartment.
Mizuki’s changed clothes were piled in the dirty clothes basket, with her underwear undoubtedly on top.
Gao Chuanshuo took a glance and frowned slightly.
The worn-out cotton vest looks clean, but it is so loose and deformed that I’m afraid few girls would choose to continue wearing it.
With a sigh, Gao Chuanshuo became more determined to make money.
He took off his clothes and threw them into the laundry hamper.
Walk into the bathroom.
After a quick rinse, Gao Chuanshuo finally relaxed in the small and cramped single bathtub.
He took out an old-fashioned thick-chinned mobile phone, opened LINE and started checking messages.
Several messages appeared in the group chat of [Sobu High School Service Club].
He simply ignored it.
Sobu High School Service Club, he could barely be considered a member.
But because of the need to set up a stall at home.
He generally does not participate in club activities.
The reason for joining was this outrageous new club. Naturally, it was impossible to complete the task of recruiting new members for the club and meet the student union’s minimum number requirement for the club.
Afterwards, he asked for a portion of the funds applied for from the student union to be allocated to him.
Successfully became a veteran figure in this broken society.
But he has not yet participated in any ministry mission.
Gao Chuanshuo clicked on a relatively lively community called “Xueying Tokyo Library New Contributor Exchange Group”.
There are quite a few people in this group.
There are about two hundred people.
Most of them are newcomers, and there are basically few capable big guys.
The people who talk frequently are basically only a few people who chat in the group every day.
But they spoke very nicely.
Every time Gao Chuanshuo saw the group message, he felt like he was back home.
[Nuclear Power Coder: The Newcomer Award essay contest is basically over. Have you finished writing your manuscripts? ]A newcomer in the nuclear power group.
I don’t have much experience in coding, but I can explain the theory clearly. When I talk to people, I always talk about character arcs, story events, beginnings, developments, turns, and endings…
Teach people half understanding.
But whenever he talks about theory, someone named “South of Hokkaido” would pop up and shout:
“Nuclear power, you are talking about theory with the newcomers again.”
Nuclear Power’s face flushed red, and veins on his forehead burst out as he argued:
“The great master’s theory has a solid foundation. How can writing be perfunctory?”
Then he would bring up some famous popular novel and say that the novel was written that way.
This caused everyone to laugh, and the atmosphere inside and outside the group was filled with joy.
[Southern Hokkaido (south of Hokkaido): The results of the Fuzugawa Bunko audition are out, and it seems someone in our group won the silver prize. ]What? Someone won the silver prize of the Fuzugawa Library?
The other divers were like sharks smelling blood, and their spirits perked up.
[Kanto Yueming: Someone in our group won a silver prize? Is this true?]【Apia: It seems that the winners of the essay contest in previous years are all veterans who have been writing in the group for two or three years. I wonder who will be the winner this year?】
[Miyuki Sakura: Picture.jpg, it’s not the old one, it’s the newcomer Kasumi Shiko. ][Grassroots Team (Grass): It really is Kasumi Shiko, congratulations, I suddenly want to go play with you again. ]Miyuki Sakura is the group leader who debuted at Shogakukan two years ago.
She shared her experience in manuscript review on her YouTube channel and created this community.
Gao Chuanshuo just happened to be interested in writing a novel.
I came across it by accident and wanted to learn more about submissions and essays, so I joined the group.
And hastily, according to his impression.
She comes from a well-off family and is a well-known wealthy woman in the group. I heard that she plays bass.
However, he often spent money recklessly on buying musical instruments and albums, which made him very poor, and he often envied the high royalties of other people in the group.
[Shikoku Kiri: Don’t worry, maybe they have the same name, @霞诗子, come out and tell us if it’s true. ]Other group members also followed suit.
After much anticipation, Kasumi Shiko finally came out to respond to everyone’s expectations.
[Xia Shizi: It is indeed my work. I am quite lucky. However, ahem, come on, you don’t have to come to play with me.]Even though it was just a silver prize from a second-tier library like Busui River, but with the recognition of the real owner, the social media information exploded instantly.
Chapter 4, Saki Kawasaki’s review of “Four Lies” before publication! (Old version)
all of a sudden.
All kinds of messages of envy and jealousy asking for someone to be with you started to flood the group.
Cao Cao also looked unconvinced and asked why, and begged to meet Kasumi Shiko, saying that she really wanted to drink omelette rice in a coffee shop.
Kasumi Shiko rolled her eyes seductively.
Is this Yamada Ryo coming to play with her?
Obviously, he came to her to pay the bill, although the other party would usually treat her to something more luxurious when he had some pocket money at the beginning of the month.
But she has a monthly pocket money of 100,000 yen, so she can be a little frugal.
It would never be so miserable.
She ignored the other party’s message.
Then, Xia Shizi kept paying attention to every message in the group, waiting like a fool. After waiting for a long time, there was still no message from that person.
The look of expectation gradually turned into disappointment.
Is he not online again today?
Then, a message came in private.
【Takagawa Saku: Congratulations. 】
Xia Shizi only saw two words, and then the other party went offline, but her previous depressed mood evaporated instantly. She rolled on the bed, smiled, and left a message:
[I’ll treat you and Mizuki to dinner this weekend. ]Gao Chuanshuo felt a little dizzy after soaking in the bathtub.
After congratulating Kasumi Shiko, he quickly turned off his phone and stood up.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to reply to messages in the group.
The main reason is that his mobile phone configuration is relatively low.
There was too much news at once.
Almost got double vision.
It took him a lot of effort to log out of the community and click on Xia Shizi’s private chat from the friend list.
He swore.
When life becomes a little better, I will definitely buy a newer, non-stuck mobile phone.
living room.
“Brother, why are you so slow? Sister Shaxi and I have been waiting for you for a long time!”
Yuiga Mizuki pouted and complained.
Gao Chuanshuo wiped the moisture from his hair with a towel.
“I played with my phone for a while and didn’t pay much attention to the time.”
Saki Kawasaki just glanced at Saku Takagawa and spoke in a faint voice.
“Just don’t do anything weird.”
“What’s so strange?”
Takagawa Saku looked at Kawasaki Saki and was stunned.
Saki Kawasaki must have just taken a shower. She was wearing a light-colored, low-cut nightgown that went over the knees, with her wet hair draped over her shoulders.
In low-vision situations, it is inevitable that you can see a smear of white.
“Why are you looking at me like that!?”
Realizing that the other person seemed to be staring at her in a trance, Kawasaki Saki’s pretty face turned slightly red. She retracted her smooth and white feet, covered her plump breasts, and backed away on the sofa, with a complaining tone.
Gao Chuanshuo calmly withdrew his gaze and smiled.
“When did you change into a new pair of pajamas? They’re not bad.”
Seeing that Takagawa Saku noticed her new pajamas, Kawasaki Saki felt a little happy, but she couldn’t help but pout on the surface.
“That’s wrong… I’m not wearing it for you to see, why would I judge you? Hurry up, we want to read the novel you wrote!”
Without further ado, Gao Chuanshuo handed the written manuscript to them.
“Your Lie in April?”
Saki Kawasaki looked at the manuscript in her hand and muttered the title. She had originally treated it as a fun article and didn’t take it too seriously.
But as I read on, I couldn’t help but immerse myself in the article.
【In the fall when I was 11, I could no longer play the piano.】
[The world has become dim in my eyes.][Only black and white remains, like the black and white keys on a piano. ]【……】
【Until the moment I met her. 】
【My life has changed. Everything I see, hear, feel, and experience has been colored.】
【The world begins to shine. 】
The opening is well written.
Everyone has something in their heart that they don’t want to face, and in the story, Kousei Arima seems to have a childhood sweetheart named Tsubaki Sawabe.
Saki Kawasaki was immediately brought in.
In the story, Kousei Arima, who won many awards as soon as he debuted but suddenly gave up playing the piano, met a violinist named Kaoru Miyazono through the introduction of Kotsubaki.
At the preliminary round of the Fujiwa Music Competition.
Kousei Arima was moved by the free way she played and attracted by the graceful posture she played the violin.
After the end.
Miyazono Kaoru actually invites Arima Kousei to compete as an ensemble in the second round of preliminary competition.
Kousei chooses to refuse, but Kaoru and Tsubaki insist…
What on earth happened to him?
As a former celebrity.
Why did you suddenly give up playing the piano?
What will happen in the future under the coercion of the enthusiastic and sunny Xiaoxun?
Moreover, one is dark and the other is extremely brilliant.
A ‘human metronome’ that plays extremely strictly according to the music score.
A playing style that is extremely free and undisciplined.
Not knowing what the scene would be like when they became partners, Saki Kawasaki couldn’t help but look forward to it.
The story continues.
The game is about to begin, but Kousei still chooses to escape.
Finally, the game is approaching!
Arima Kousei can’t stand Kaoru and Tsubaki’s persistence.
Decided to enter the competition!
See here.
A glimmer of light and hope appeared in Saki Kawasaki’s eyes.
No one wants to see the male protagonist continue to sink.
Chapter 5, how does it end? The ending of Four Lies will satisfy you! (Old version)
At the beginning of the game, everything was normal.
No one was surprised, and the judges who were familiar with Kousei Arima were also pleased, after all, the person in front of them was Kousei Arima, who was known as the human metronome.
But halfway through the performance.
But Kousei couldn’t hear the sound of the piano again.
He looked flustered and tried hard to adjust himself, but the shadow in front of him made it impossible for him to adjust.
This moment!
Kousei Arima gave a bitter smile with a sense of loss, and he stopped moving his hands tremblingly.
The performance is interrupted!
And interrupting the performance is equivalent to giving up the competition!
In other words!
The competition of the genius Kousei Arima is over!
It’s a mess!
Many musicians were surprised by this scene.
They stared closely at the face of the man on the stage, wondering if he was really Kousei Arima.
There was also some reluctance in the eyes of many fans.
But we can only accept the reality——
Arima Kousei!
The former piano genius has indeed fallen…
Off stage.
As good friends, Xiaochun and Adu felt a little disappointed when they saw this. They didn’t know how to comfort the two after the game.
But at this moment——
But Kousei Arima started playing again!
But he remembered what Xiaoxun had said before, and he used his own feelings as an imagination to change the voice to that of Miyazono Kaoru!
Although the qualification to perform has been revoked.
But the song, full of the spirit of April, moved the audience, and they all cheered for Arima’s beautiful song.
After the piano competition!
Kousei’s aunt told Kousei that your tune has already been revealed, “You fell in love with her.”
Although eliminated from the competition.
However, due to the outstanding performance of Kousei and Xiaoxun in the second half, they were unexpectedly invited to perform by the organizer of the Tenghe Music Festival.
They couldn’t help but read on to see the rest of the story.
The third performance was at the Tenghe Music Festival.
Because Miyazono Kaoru was not present.
Kousei had no choice but to choose one person to play.
During this period, a junior high school student insulted Miyazono Kaoru out of jealousy.
Kousei Arima played his mother’s favorite song, “The Sadness of Love”, in anger.
The harsh and manic piano sound disappointed many musicians who came because of Kousei Arima.
There was a time when none of them had not been overwhelmed by Arima’s fame.
Robots, humanoid metronomes, child prodigies…
Many outstanding people regard Arima Kousei as their rival.
But now Kousei Arima.
Is this the only level you can reach… Are you kidding me…
It turns out that the child prodigy really fell…
Just when everyone was extremely disappointed.
The unpleasant noise and the painful rhythm of his fingertips also gradually woke Kousei from his anger.
The Sorrow of Love
This is my mother’s favorite song.
He has played it the most times, and it has even become a muscle memory!
He gradually calmed down, thinking about the time when his mother held his hand and practiced this piece of music over and over again.
He thought of what he had asked his mother when he was young, why she liked this song.
The seriously ill mother replied.
“Kousei, you have to get used to sadness in the future…”
He didn’t understand it before, or rather, he had been avoiding it.
Now from the music, from the memory, from the many tiny details.
Kousei Arima realized his mother’s love for him!
So, he once again broke free from the shackles on his body.
Start changing the piano sound.
This time, I played my mother’s favorite song out of love for her.
then!
The performance that belongs only to the genius Kousei Arima is performed again!
Everyone in the audience was deeply moved again and was deeply impressed, and had no intention of listening to the next performance.
During the competition, Kousei was able to free himself from the shadow cast by his mother and eliminate his fear of the piano.
See this scene.
Kawasaki Saki and Yuiga Mizuki subconsciously bit their lower lips and their eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
A stream of warmth surged from my heart.
Rushing into their eyes, trying to drive out the tears that they had managed to hold back.
The novel’s narrative style is very good.
Very special.
The psychological description of the characters is very realistic, and it is hard not to sympathize with the two of them.
This is the power of words.
This is a spiritual shock.
Even if you don’t understand words, as long as you know the masterpieces, you will still be touched by the content.
They quickly put down the manuscript paper, took out tissue paper, and turned away so as not to let Gao Chuanshuo see their embarrassing appearance.
After a long time.
“When did you become so good at writing novels?”
Saki Kawasaki stared at Saku Takagawa.
His eyes seemed to be even redder, and he was sniffing gently, but his eyes were bright, shocked, and confused.
This is the end of the manuscript.
It’s roughly halfway through the original work.
As for Saki Kawasaki, he is not that good at writing novels.
Gao Chuanshuo pretended not to see her weak side and changed the subject, “How do you two feel about this half of the novel?”
Wei Wo Mizuki couldn’t help but stand up.
Two blushes of excitement appeared on her face.
It made her already pretty face even more charming.
“Brother, your novel is amazing. It feels like something I saw in a youth fiction magazine.”
Saki Kawasaki has returned to her usual indifferent expression and her tone is affirmative.
“If I submit to more than one library, I think there is a chance that my manuscript will be accepted.”
But soon, Saki Kawasaki became curious and expectant again.
“I just don’t know what the second half of “Four Lies” will be like. It should have a good ending, right?”
Gao Chuanshuo smiled like the King of Hell.
Don’t worry, little Sashi, the ending will satisfy you…

Chapter 6, It’s You, Dengeki Bunko! (Old Version)
“By the way, brother, when are you going to submit your article?”
Wei Ga Mizuki pursed her pink lips, and a hint of anticipation rose in her heart.
She hadn’t felt this way for a long time. Her life in the past few years seemed like she was struggling in a pool of dark dead water.
Gao Chuanshuo pondered for a moment.
There are several ways to submit your work, such as the recent Newcomer Award.
For example, if you can bring the manuscript directly to the customer’s site and find a way, that’s fine too.
Or you can submit your article by mail directly.
Another way is to find a bookstore. Library editors often go to bookstores to check on book sales.
If you know someone related to the bookstore, you can easily solve the problem.
Moreover, none of the latter methods are as generous as the newcomer rewards.
In addition to the most basic publishing share, the Newcomer Award also includes high monetary rewards.
It is generally more competitive than normal submissions, and there are often quite a few people who are reincarnated from the Impure World and demons from outer space participating every year.
“Four Lies” was originally a work of Kodansha, which also has a light novel business.
It should be the most suitable from the perspective of style theory.
It should be the easiest to pass the manuscript.
“I plan to vote for the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award.”
Gao Chuanshuo is full of confidence.
As the most famous and highest-paying newcomer award in the industry, the competition for the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award is undoubtedly fierce.
But “Four Lies” is different from the usual otherworldly toilet paper and industrial saccharine works.
It was a masterpiece of Kodansha’s previous manga.
The sales of the 11 volumes of “Four Lies” exceeded 4 million copies!
The work was adapted into TV animation and movies.
Once released.
It has brought countless tears to the eyes and is the first work that many people fell in love with the two-dimensional world.
Even the author of the manga “One Piece”, Eiichiro Oda.
He also revealed in a questionnaire that the work he envied the most was “Your Lie in April”!
The reason is.
“Four Lies” is not only great in terms of plot and structure, but it is also able to create an effect through comics that makes it seem like you are hearing music, which is amazing!
Anyway, let’s put the ending aside!
Naoji Shinkawa is undoubtedly a very good storyteller. The structure and story of “Four Lies” would make Oda praise it highly.
Undoubtedly extremely exquisite.
The work was once called a masterpiece by many people on the Internet.
Even Dengeki Bunko, which has always accepted submissions mainly for fantasy, science fiction, and adventure.
Even if you don’t win the grand prize or the gold medal.
He is also confident that he can win a bronze or silver medal.
Of course, the main Dengeki library itself is also diverse in style.
In the previous life, the sales charts were dominated by fantasy works such as “Sword Art Online”, “Magic Index”, and “Shakugan no Shana”.
There are also campus romance themes such as “Toradora!” and “My Little Sister”.
“That’s it!”
Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award has the highest returns.
The content of the first six and a half volumes is relatively complete in structure, and the word count also meets the requirements for the Dengeki Novel Award.
In short, the content of the first volume is “After a two-year absence from a music competition, Kousei Arima finally broke through his mother’s ‘curse’ and once again demonstrated his talent, winning the applause of everyone and the tears of his friends.”
He only planned to use the first half of the volume for submission.
Of course, to let readers know there is a second volume.
Can be the samurai’s sister.
That is, the appearance of Aizawa Ari and the invitation to the final piano competition are placed at the end of the chapter as easter eggs.
Anyway, just use the upper volume to lure the dogs in first, and then use the lower volume to severely depress them!
While collecting the money, the entire Neon was in mourning.
Let the readers wipe their tears and complain at the same time.
He was responsible for collecting the royalties with a smile.
Then I used the royalties to pay my younger sister Ye Yue’s owed kindergarten tuition.
I’ll give Mizuki a new set of underwear, new pajamas, and a new school uniform. If there’s enough, I can also make the cramped little bathtub at home bigger…
Ah, I’m so short of money…
Gao Chuanshuo is extremely anxious because of his poor family background!
…dividing line…
While the two girls were reading the manuscripts, Gao Chuanshuo also took the opportunity to fill out the competition registration form. It was already getting late at night.
I have to go to school tomorrow.
Gao Chuanshuo saw Kawasaki Saki out.
But she suddenly said she wanted to go shopping.
Gaochuan Shuo thought about it, after all, it was in the capital Tokyo.
Or you can stay in a familiar community.
There are no Death God elementary school students nearby, so it’s no problem to go for a walk.
He glanced at Saki Kawasaki, who was wearing a light-colored nightgown.
Protect her on the inside of the road.
As one of the heroines, Saki Kawasaki is really beautiful, and she has a faint fragrance just after taking a shower.
It smells very pleasant.
However, there are many drunkards in izakayas on the roadside now.
And the proud shout before.
It’s different from selling Tokyo and then buying the entire United States.
They are now supporting each other, stumbling, and shouting that the current prime minister should be shot.
Some even lay on the curb, holding cheap wine bottles and crying.
Not far away were some middle-aged men who had been fired and were afraid to tell their families.
He should have gone out with his briefcase in the morning.
They sat in the park until late at night and were reluctant to go back.
After all, they haven’t been fired yet.
Being able to work overtime is something that my family members can be very proud of.
These are the norm after the bubble economy bursts.
Of course, this is also due to the economic situation.
The street stall economy in Tokyo has actually grown a lot, even at the intersections near their communities.
After six o’clock in the evening, a large number of vendors come out to set up stalls.
Most of them are eaten.
“Shahi, do you have money? I’m a little hungry.”
Gao Chuanshuo asked shamelessly.
“I have 500 yen, and I was going to buy a hair band for it.”
Thinking that Takagawa Saku usually took good care of herself, Saki Kawasaki opened her palm, and sure enough, there was a 500 yen coin in it.
“That’s enough.”
Takagawa Saku took 500 yen.
I bought a small portion of takoyaki and a portion of German sausage. Most of the vendors were nearby neighbors.
Gao Chuanshuo shamelessly got another glass of lemonade.
To stay in shape, Saki Kawasaki doesn’t eat at night.
But in order to make it easier for Gaochuan Shuo to eat takoyaki, she helped to bring lemonade and German sausages.
At the signal of Gaochuan Shuo.
She rolled her eyes from time to time and then fed Gao Chuanshuo a bite.
“Kawasaki-san.”
Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the side, and a boy walked over quickly.
Please give me flowers and data. If the data is good, I will update it soon!
Chapter 7, I’ll borrow my childhood sweetheart to copy tomorrow’s homework! (Old version)
“Hello, Yoshida-senpai.”
Saki Kawasaki greeted politely.
Senior… ?
Gao Chuan Shuo raised his eyelids and took a look. He didn’t recognize him, and judging from his clothes, he didn’t seem to be a high school student.
“Give me the food, you guys chat.”
Saku Takagawa took the lemonade and German sausage from Saki Kawasaki.
He sat on the stairs nearby and started eating calmly.
“I just got off work from the cram school. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
The boy said as he looked at the boy who was eating.
I couldn’t see clearly at night.
But I can also feel that the boy in front of me is quite handsome.
This person seemed to be somewhat close to Saki Kawasaki, and he was guessing the relationship between the two.
“Well, let’s go out and eat something in the evening.” Saki Kawasaki said with a smile.
The girl’s answer was very distant, and Yoshida also felt it.
And Saki Kawasaki has no intention of introducing the boys around her.
He could only ask directly.
“Kawasaki-kun, who is this?”
Gao Chuanshuo had just taken a sip of lemonade when he heard the other party’s question.
Just answer with a smile.
“I’m Saki Kawasaki’s neighbor. I came here to eat something. Senior Yoshida, right? Would you like a sausage?”
He handed the paper box in his hand to the boy.
“Thank you, I won’t need that.”
Hearing that it was just a neighbor, Senior Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief.
People living in nearby communities.
Their family conditions are relatively average, and he thinks Saki Kawasaki would not look down on boys like this.
“Then I’ll go back first. The cram school that I’m working with has just started, so there’s a lot going on. I still have some things to do.”
After Yoshida-senpai’s seemingly calm but casual boasting.
He didn’t even look at Gao Chuanshuo.
Turned and left.
Gao Chuan Shuo didn’t care at all.
However, Saki Kawasaki started explaining first.
“This Yoshida-senpai was the former president of Himena’s club. He has a good family background, excellent grades, and is a reliable person with no scandals. He is very popular. After graduating from Sobu High School, he went to Tokyo Institute of Technology. Now he happens to be cooperating with Himena’s cram school.”
“Well, the cram school just happened to be offering some part-time jobs recently, such as teaching assistants. I can get free tutoring and the salary is not bad. Hime asked Yoshida-senpai before, and she said she could reserve the position for me.”
“So you’re going to work at that cram school later?”
Gao Chuanshuo thought of what Saki had said before, that she had to work in the future and would not be able to take care of Ye Yue.
In neon.
It is not uncommon for high school students to work part-time. Just apply to the school.
Kawasaki Saki looked at Gao Chuan Shuo and smiled slyly.
“No, I refused.”
Gao Chuanshuo calmly took a sip of lemonade and asked.
“Why refuse?”
There was no sign of happiness on Gao Chuanshuo’s face.
Saki Kawasaki felt a little unhappy.
“I don’t like it!”
“I’m going back now. Remember to pay me back for posting on Moments tomorrow, hum!”
Gao Chuanshuo followed silently.
“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll take you back. It’s just that someone is chasing you, look how proud you are!”
The girl pushed Gao Chuan Shuo away and glared at him angrily.
“Go to hell, whoever is so proud, remember to pay me back the money I earned from posting on Moments tomorrow!”
Gao Chuanshuo was unhappy.
“Why buy a hair band? Just make one yourself. Didn’t you make it yourself before?”
“Get out!” Saki Kawasaki’s pretty face turned red and she said angrily.
Of course he knew Saki Kawasaki, who used to make her hair bands from her own old underwear.
She took out the elastic band of her bra.
Then sew the outer layer of the underwear on.
It looks exactly like the hair bands sold outside, and basically no one can tell the difference.
“About the circle post, how did you know?”
Gao Chuanshuo smiled and said nothing.
Not to mention the God’s perspective, he had discovered it before his memory was awakened.
As for how he figured it out.
nonsense!
Directly facing the window of his room was Saki Kawasaki’s room and balcony.
No need to pay special attention.
If you see the other person’s clothes once a day, that’s 365 times a year.
That would definitely make an impression.
Then suddenly the underwear that I had been drying in the sun every day disappeared, and coincidentally, a hairband of the same color appeared.
You can do it too!
However, Gao Chuan Shuo continued to do stupid things, talking as he walked.
“Kawasaki Saki, if you still don’t want to change your underwear, I’ll give you an old pair of shorts. There’s an elastic band inside, so you can just take it apart and sew it up…”
“You’re crazy. Who would want you to use your pants as a scrunchie?”
“Really?”
“don’t want!”
“Then I’ll give it to Shui Xi.”
Saki Kawasaki: “…Are you sick, Takagawa Saku?”
“Do you want it?”
“…”
She was a little speechless and hugged her chest. “Mizuki is a girl, how can you use your pants to make a hairband? Let me take a look at the condition first. If it is too damaged, I won’t want it.”
“Don’t worry, it’s for the handsome man to use, so it’s 90% new.”
Saki Kawasaki: “…”
For some reason, she suddenly wanted to beat Gao Chuan Shuo to death.
After all, it is the friendship of childhood sweethearts for many years.
Let her hold back and not take action!
When Saki Kawasaki returned home, she found that her younger brother and sister had already rested.
She tiptoed back to her room.
She turned on the small desk lamp and pulled out a small account book from the drawer.
I made a serious note of -500.
Then I carefully counted the balance and felt a bit of a headache.
Sudden!
Knock, knock, knock. Someone was knocking gently on her window!
Saki Kawasaki unhappily pulled open the curtains and opened the window.
It was indeed Gao Chuanshuo.
He was waving a bamboo sword in the opposite direction, which was obviously the weapon he used to knock on her window.
“Gao Chuanshuo, what’s wrong with you so late at night?”
Kawasaki Saki is fierce and quiet.
With a loud crash, a pair of shorts flew out of the window and onto her desk.
Gao Chuanshuo waved his hand, “You’re welcome. I don’t like to owe others.”
This is for handsome men’s own use, 90% new…
Veins popped out on her forehead.
He took a deep breath and was about to throw his pants back to take revenge on this showy childhood sweetheart!
Her hand suddenly felt a texture different from the fabric.
She was slightly stunned.
Then I was surprised to find out.
There was a 1,000 yen note tucked into his pants.
Saki Kawasaki stared at the banknote in stunned silence for a moment.
Then he frowned and looked at Gaochuan Shuo, “Tonight’s supper is 500 yen, what do you mean by giving me 1000 yen?”
“Tsk, Uncle Kawasaki hasn’t sent the money back yet, so keep it well.”
Holding the banknote, Saki Kawasaki felt suddenly moved.
“Thank you. I’ll give you 500 tomorrow.”
“No need, just keep the money first, don’t lose it later. If it really doesn’t work, you can pay me back next month.”
“Okay, I’ll pay you back next month.”
Saki Kawasaki nodded when she heard that and stupidly put the money into the drawer.
“Okay, now you’ve received the money, Kawasaki Saki, let me borrow your childhood sweetheart to copy tomorrow’s homework.”
Chapter 8, Chinese questions are difficult? Ask me and I will answer the question correctly! (Old version)
“Actually, there’s this thing called chasing girls.”
“It’s very simple. You have to take it step by step. Don’t rush it.”
“Uh… tell me more.”
“When pursuing a girl, what matters is attitude and patience.”
“As long as you are willing to spend time, effort, and money, take her out to eat delicious food, and prepare carefully selected expensive gifts for her during the holidays…”
Sobu High School, Class F, Grade 2 classroom.
Gao Chuanshuo was whispering with two people at the next table to him.
Totsuka Ayaka and Hikigaya Hachiman were also seriously thinking about the secret told by Takagawa Saku. Although they didn’t know whether it would be useful or not, it would definitely be a good thing to remember it.
If you can be used as a military advisor to others, you can appear to be knowledgeable.
Totsuka Ayaka took some notes and looked at Takagawa Saku with anticipation:
“Takagawa-san, now that we’re talking about choosing gifts, what next…”
Gao Chuanshuo clicked his tongue and smiled, “And then? Then you will know what the Joker is, the kind that even Batman won’t fight when he returns to Gotham.”
Hikigaya Hachiman: “…”
Totsuka Ayaka: “…”
On the podium.
Chinese language and life guidance teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka was standing on the podium writing on the blackboard.
Emphasize the key points of the text with interest.
As the ‘strongest man in the Hanamigawa District’ and the notorious ‘tiger’ of Sobu High School.
The learning atmosphere in her class is naturally very strong.
Even Tobe Sho, who usually dressed in a shabby manner, sat quietly in his seat and listened to the class.
Suddenly,
“Gao Chuan, your uncle…”
Classroom corner.
A slight sound of fighting was heard!
She turned her head and suddenly saw Hikigaya Hachiman in the corner with a look of grief and anger on his face.
Faced with this little accident in the classroom, the smile on Shizuka Hiratsuka’s face suddenly froze.
Her fist hardened!
She stared coldly at Takagawa Saku and Hikigaya in the corner.
The nosy students in Class F also tried to hold back their laughter.
They all looked towards the corner following Teacher Jing’s gaze with a look of gloating.
If nothing unexpected happens, someone is going to have an accident.
“Respect is mutual.”
Hiratsuka Shizuka slowly turned around and looked at Takagawa Saku and Hikigaya coldly, “If you don’t respect me, then there’s no need for me to be polite to you.”
Gao Chuanshuo thought for a moment and decided to betray his friend and surrender.
“Teacher Jing.”
“It’s Hikigaya. He wasn’t paying attention in class and can’t solve a problem!”
Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Hikigaya Hachiman who looked confused.
Then he looked at Gao Chuanshuo who looked confident.
Hiratsuka Shizuka knocked on the blackboard, narrowed her eyes, and sneered, “Hikigaya, you translate this question.”
Hikigaya stood up from his seat hastily, looking confused.
While looking at the words on the blackboard, I kept muttering to myself:
“What year, what flowers… old man… this…”
The scene fell into silence.
The other students couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Shizuka Hiratsuka didn’t believe that Hikigaya could answer the question at all, and he looked up at Saku Takagawa again.
“Takagawa, please answer this question on behalf of Hikigaya.”
The words fell.
Hikigaya also breathed a sigh of relief.
He glanced at Gao Chuanshuo and gloated over his misfortune.
Takagawa Saku ignored Hikigaya.
He stood up and looked at the question in deep thought.
Not too difficult, but too easy!
Because it turned out to be a Chinese translation question——
“Year after year the flowers are the same, but year after year the people are different. My message to the beautiful lady in her prime is that she should pity the old man who is half dead and gray-haired.”
It is Liu Tingzhi’s mourning for the old man with white hair.
The learning content of Japanese Chinese is generally divided into three parts: Japanese classical Chinese, Japanese modern Chinese, and Chinese.
Chinese is the ancient Chinese language and is also a compulsory part of Japan’s Chinese language class.
However, classical Chinese accounts for the smallest proportion in Chinese language content, only about 25%. For Japanese students, these questions are both difficult and unfamiliar.
But if you ask Gao Chuanshuo, I’m sorry, you’ve asked the right person!
In the front, Saki Kawasaki secretly put up her notebook.
The answer is right above.
Gao Chuanshuo took a look and became too lazy to look at it.
Saki Kawasaki was anxious.
This Chinese question is very difficult!
Gao Chuanshuo answered without hesitation:
“I advise the beautiful young women in their prime to pity the half-dead old man. The poet points out that the future of the beautiful young woman is inevitably the present of the old man, and the past of the old man is actually the present of the beautiful young woman. The poet typifies the specific fate of the beautiful young woman and the old man, showing that this is the common fate of a large group of men, women, old and young in the lower class of feudal society, and therefore proposes that people should sympathize with each other, which has the effect of “awakening the world”…”
Hikigaya Hachiman couldn’t help but look up and looked at Takagawa Saku in shock.
It must be fake!
No buddy, are you so fierce?
Hiratsuka Shizuya stared at the answer blankly, then clapped his hands in appreciation:
“Well, the answer is more comprehensive and standard than the answer.”
“Takagawa, sit down, and then Hikigaya, come to the office after class!”
“Thank you, teacher. Teacher Jing is wise!”
Takagawa Saku sat back in his seat and looked at Hikigaya with a gloating look.
Hikigaya looked sad and angry.
“Gao Chuan, your uncle!”
Chapter 9, So, there are normal manuscripts for the Newcomer Award? (Old version)
School is over in the afternoon.
The campus gate was crowded with people.
Yuigahama Yui pursed her pink lips, looking shy, “Takagawa, we have a classmate party this afternoon, can you come?”
“Youmi-ko Manabu also hopes you can come.”
“Sorry, I have to work in the afternoon, so I really don’t have time to participate.”
Takagawa Saku glanced at the members of the current group, politely explained the reason why he could not go, and without paying attention to Yuigahama’s lost look, he left.
“Why are you pretending? You are such a jerk!”
“I still have to go to work. Can someone die if I work one day less?”
“If he’s really that poor, what’s the point of living in this world? I think he’s just putting on airs and pretending to be noble!”
“Yumiko, ignore him, let’s go!”
Gao Chuanshu glanced back and saw that it was several boys around Miura Yumiko who were standing up for her.
The one who barked the most intensely was Tobe Sho, who had dyed yellow hair.
Tobe Sho didn’t understand why the girls at every social gathering always wanted them to bring Takagawa Saku to attend.
This made him a little jealous.
Yuigahama wanted to speak up to defend Takagawa Saku, but Miura Yumiko glared at Tobe Sho coldly and spoke first:
“Don’t say such things again, Gao Chuan is not that kind of person!”
Gao Chuanshuo had no expression, he just turned around and left coldly.
In fact, if we simply look at his popularity, he is definitely in the de facto “live-action group” of Class F.
But for Gao Chuanshuo!
He and Ye Shan and others are not from the same world.
They were cattle herders, and he was a woodcutter.
He could just listen and play and chat with them.
The other party will not refuse and may even be very happy.
But after they waited for the cows to eat their fill, they just patted their butts and left.
What about his firewood?
Gao Chuanshuo was very clear about these things.
He glanced up at the sky, where the sun was about to set, shining with its last rays of light.
He is back home.
The school is dismissed relatively early.
There weren’t many people on the street, so it wasn’t too noisy.
There were only a few teenagers in groups of three or five waving their schoolbags and shouting “Transform”, and a few girls walking in groups laughing and cursing.
However, Gao Chuanshuo is not heading home, but to the post office.
For him now.
The most important thing, of course, is to find a way to publish “Four Lies” and then go back to the oden stall to help.
He was not comfortable with Mizuki setting up the stall alone.
In this world where entertainment is prevalent, there has always been a selection system for various types of entertainment.
As long as you are able.
The red carpet for fame is literally laid out right at your doorstep, even for light novels for teenagers.
Spring Newcomer Award!
This is one of the channels to become famous, and this is also the rule that Neon has set up specifically to cultivate light novel writers:
Starting from April every year, each major library will hold an event to appreciate newcomers.
At this time.
Even senior people in the industry will tacitly avoid publishing works during this period to leave some space for the younger generations.
Then the major libraries.
We will also seize such opportunities and do our best to promote new talents with potential in our own library!
And newcomers will be working harder at this time.
Want to stand out!
Gao Chuanshuo naturally wanted to seize this opportunity. Not to mention that in addition to the high bounty, there was also an additional 1% newcomer royalty subsidy.
The profit-sharing model for newcomers in this world library is:
After the library signed the work.
Will spend a lot of money to promote the work!
I will find a publishing house to apply for a publishing number for the work and help with publication!
Will contact the bookstore to help with sales!
Then, based on the profits generated by sales, publishing houses, libraries and bookstores get about 90%.
The rest will be shared between the author and the illustrator.
He had no way to deal with the bulk of the money that was taken from the library.
Now all he needs is a channel to win the Rookie of the Year Award and a light novel illustrator.
But the illustrator wanted to find a tool person, one who didn’t have to share too much money.
Nishi-Shinjuku Dengeki Bunko Building, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.
The essay collection period in April every year is the busiest time for major library libraries.
Dengeki Bunko is no exception.
Especially in the past two years when the economic situation was not good, the number of submissions increased dramatically.
There were over 10,000 entries for the Newcomer Award, which kept every department at Dengeki Bunko extremely busy.
Fujii Yuuna is a new editor in the Kagurazaka group of Dengeki Bunko.
As a newcomer.
In addition to reviewing manuscripts and communicating with authors every day.
Also responsible for a lot of trivial matters.
Including but not limited to receiving and sending express deliveries, printing newspapers, filling out daily forms, and making coffee for senior colleagues in the workplace.
“Yuuna, hand these sorted manuscripts and competition materials over to the editor-in-chief.”
“Yuuna, put these manuscripts in the second alternative category.”
“Yuuna, go to the reception room to pick up the latest batch of entries.”
“Yuuna, make me a cup of black coffee…”
It was her rookie season and she was already extremely busy. The instructions from her seniors made Fujii Yuna feel dizzy.
I am busy from morning until almost getting off work in the afternoon.
There was basically no rest in between, and I didn’t even have time to eat.
I finally sat down and did my job.
Read and review manuscripts.
Finally feeling a little relieved… No way!
Reviewing new authors’ manuscripts is like panning for gold in a cesspool, which is a double torture to the body and mind.
Another outrageous article!
After the manuscript was rejected, I reincarnated the editor into a succubus in another world
Fujii Yuna: “…”
But she still suppressed her speechlessness and quickly flipped through the pages.
Within three minutes, she threw the manuscript aside and marked an “X” on the review form.
“The plot is toxic, the writing is not smooth, and there is no sense of satisfaction…”
“I’d rather let him pass the manuscript than to actually go to another world and become a succubus.”
This is a bad manuscript no matter how you review it!
Fujii Yuna muttered, “Can you please give me some reliable manuscripts so that I can pass the assessment for regularization?”
“I don’t want to do odd jobs anymore!”
“My life is so miserable!”
She took a big gulp of coffee and then cheered herself up like a chicken.
“come on!”
“Fujii Yuuna, you can do it!”
Then she looked at the next manuscript with grief and anger. Hey, the name seemed a lot more normal.
“Your Lie in April…?”
Chapter 10, I think this “Four Lies” is very promising! (Old version)
She didn’t understand the title.
However, as a student graduating from the Department of Literature, I can still vaguely associate it with something.
“It’s April now, but the genre doesn’t seem to fit the style of our newcomer award.”
Dengeki Bunko is quite tolerant when it comes to subject matter.
But in previous years, the works appreciated by newcomers have always been mainly fantasy.
Everyday romantic comedies are generally character-oriented, while fantasy romantic comedies are plot-oriented. For newcomers, the latter are much easier to grasp.
So, she still didn’t hold out much hope.
After all, as a newcomer in the editorial department.
The kind of manuscripts about reincarnation of the dead and the devil from outer space.
Let the seniors choose first.
Manuscripts with potential among newcomers were first selected by editors of the same level as her, and only manuscripts with little potential were assigned to her.
But let’s take a look first.
If it works, maybe I can contact the author to revise the manuscript…
This is the frustration of being an editor.
New editors often have to grow together with new authors.
She turned to the first page of the manuscript.
A handwritten manuscript?
The handwriting is good, neat and beautiful.
Fujii Yuuna began to read carefully.
“In the fall when I was 11, I could no longer play the piano.”
“The world has become dim in my eyes…”
“…”
Immersed in the text, I quickly finished reading half of the manuscript.
Fujii Yuuna’s expression was a little surprised and shocked.
Different from the previous manure work.
Although there is only half a volume at present.
But the overall structure is still intact.
Unique story framework and clever plot arrangement.
The writing makes extensive use of echoes and foreshadowing.
This is definitely not a novel that can be written in a short period of time.
“Music is the bond…redemption is like the spring sunshine…the emotional expression is also very moving…”
Fujii Yuuna flipped through the manuscript paper back and forth, looking for various details with shining eyes.
If nothing unexpected happens.
She thought “Four Lies” might be a pretty good song!
Because she was already somewhat attracted to it.
Even if this novel is only half done.
She quickly called the audit department.
“Hello, I’m Fujii from the Kagurazaka group of the editorial department. I have a novel here, and I’d like to ask you to check it for plagiarism…Private Marseille.”
Although she initially thought the manuscript was fine.
But this is a necessary level.
The purpose of plagiarism checking and review is to prevent the text or plot from being too similar to other novels on the market.
There is suspicion of plagiarism.
If something goes wrong.
As one of the leading libraries in the industry, this is a severe blow to them.
As an editor under the Kagurazaka Group, she has always maintained a vigorous and decisive style within the group.
After she finished the call, she immediately went to the editor-in-chief’s office.
Boom boom boom.
“Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka!”
Kagurazaka Ayame looked up at the girl who was holding the manuscript paper excitedly, and asked with a curious smile: “How come, Yuuna, did you get the gold?”
The manuscripts that are initially reviewed by new editors will be reviewed by their chief editor.
“Well, it’s a pretty good manuscript, take a look!”
Kagurazaka first glanced at the cover entry form for the Newcomer Award and raised his eyebrows, “Your Lie in April? Takagawa Saku? No pen name used before…”
After taking a look at his general identity and address, he was indeed not a reincarnated person.
It seems to be a manuscript from a newcomer.
And it looks like an everyday work that requires a lot of writing skills.
As he read through it word by word, his expression gradually changed from surprise to seriousness.
“Incredible… This person is really capable.”
“But he does look like a newcomer. The grammar of his writing is a little strange, and some sentences seem more like Chinese. But it doesn’t matter. I can just proofread it later.”
Although she is the youngest editor-in-chief.
But she also got to the top through her professional skills and diligent attitude.
Years of reviewing have given me an instinctive sensitivity.
Make her realize.
With any luck, “Four Lies” will be a work that has a chance to win the gold medal.
“This manuscript is good, you can sign it.”
“I’ll see if I can arrange some more good resources for you so you can get the gold medal.”
“Personally, I think there is hope.”
“Okay, thank you Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka!” said the young editor.
“What are you thanking me for? You’re in our team, how can I not protect you? Your internship period is almost over, and I will personally recommend you for a permanent position then.” Kagurazaka said with a smile.
In an instant, Fujii Yuuna’s face became excited.
“Thank you, Editor Kagurazaka!”
Only then did Fujii Yuuna leave the office excitedly.
Looking at Fujii Yuuna’s excited back.
Kagurazaka smiled helplessly.
But the smile was a little bitter.
Silly boy, as your editor-in-chief, helping you is also helping myself.
At Dengeki Bunko, the editors are very capable, and many famous works have an editorial team behind them.
Capable newcomer.
I will directly choose to submit my article to a popular editor to facilitate negotiation and discussion of subsequent plots.
Although she is the editor-in-chief.
But because I am the youngest.
The quality of submissions received is not at all comparable to that of other editorial groups.
After Qianshou Village Zheng recently stopped writing.
Her performance pressure is no less than that of Fujii Yuna.
She did not expect “Four Lies” to be as successful as “Fantasy Demon Sword Legend” in that it could become a masterpiece.
But if “Four Lies” can really win a place in the Newcomer Award.
Even if it’s a bronze medal.
Perhaps the performance pressure on her can be slightly relieved…
Chapter 11: Successfully complete the submission and get system rewards! (Old version)
Gao Chuanshuo returned home and changed his clothes.
Just as I was about to prepare the ingredients for the stall, I received a call from Fujii Yuna.
Maybe the manuscript has been submitted!
Can participate in the new talent selection.
Even if it is not selected, it can still be published with a typeset number.
But he was very calm.
The literary and artistic works in this world are not any less melodramatic than those in the previous life.
They also have many wonderful masterpieces.
But “Four Lies” is one of the top works in the world, so it is not surprising that it was accepted.
Fujii Yuna also mentioned a problem with “Four Lies”, which is that it occasionally contains problems with Chinese grammar.
But it’s not his fault.
Many details of “Four Lies” have been engraved in his mind, but when he is immersed in writing, who can care about this or that?
That’s not a bad thing either.
Leave something for the editor to do so that she feels a little involved.
Takagawa Saku hung up the phone and added Fujii Yuuna’s LINE.
The other party informed me that the judging results of the Dengeki Novel Award will be announced at the end of May.
Then the two signed an online contract of intent.
Basically, he and Dengeki Bunko reached a contract intention, and he could no longer submit his works to other bunkos, and Dengeki Bunko could not use his works for any purpose other than participating in competitions.
Otherwise it will be deemed as breach of contract.
Formal profit-sharing contract.
After the results of the Newcomer Award come out, the results are different and the contract levels are also different.
Just after finishing the letter of intent, Gao Chuanshuo heard the voice of the system.
“Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for completing the new mission.”
【Task name: The first work. 】
[Task content: Successfully submit a work to any library. ][Mission Reward: A gold-level treasure chest reward. ]Gold level treasure chest?
Gao Chuanshuo looked at the system’s warehouse grid.
I became a little curious.
When the system was loaded, many items were loaded together.
Treasure chests are divided into gold, platinum, diamond and world levels.
Although the gold-level treasure chest is called gold.
In fact, it belongs to the stubborn bronze.
The level is not high, but after all, it is a product of the system, and the things it possesses are also of high value.
Gao Chuanshuo opened it directly.
[Task Reward: Fantasy short story “Firefly Forest”]The moment of reward.
Some shackles in Gao Chuanshuo’s mind were suddenly opened, and one wonderful plot after another was engraved in his mind.
He was sure of it instantly.
This is the work that I remember, the one that I could never remember before.
Gao Chuanshuo couldn’t help but complain in his heart.
It’s just one work, and you have the nerve to call it a gold-level award.
But think about the work after it is released.
The depression points you get can also be exchanged for things you want, which can be considered as a result of your accumulation.
The rewards for the task function can only be considered free.
He felt better.
However, Gao Chuanshuo had also seen this film about the growth and separation of thousands of men and women before.
He really had been caught in the rain.
Although the plot has some logical flaws to a certain extent.
But just like a certain work like “Don’t expect a young man to be poor”, it is a well-deserved masterpiece in terms of stirring readers’ emotions.
But short stories and novels are different.
It cannot be released hastily.
Without the help of resources.
Without a good platform and opportunity, the efficiency of obtaining depression points and the royalties will be affected.
“How much is my depression worth now?”
As soon as Gao Chuanshuo finished speaking, the system panel appeared in front of him.
[Depression +100 from Saki Kawasaki][Depression +20 from Saki Kawasaki][From Hikigaya Hachiman…]【From Ayaka Totsuka, Yuigahama Yui, Miura Yumiko, Tobe Sho…】
[Depression Points: 625]There will also be some depressing value.
Basically, they will come from low values ​​in daily interactions, which are better than nothing.
It seems that in order to break through 100,000, you need to redeem system rewards!
I’m afraid it will have to wait until the second volume of “Four Lies” is officially released, or there will be a chance to publish “Firefly Forest” in the meantime.
Gao Chuanshuo put away the panel.
Start cutting the radishes carefully. The radishes for oden are the best-selling ones.
The thing he cuts the most every day is radishes.
But often I can’t even eat a single bite.
There is no way. The key to oden is the soup base, and white radish absorbs juice very well and is very affected by the environment.
Except for the ones reserved for Saki Kawasaki, there have never been any left.
Now that the novel has been successfully submitted.
So before the results of the Newcomer Award come out, he won’t need to pay much attention to this matter.
He still has to focus on his studies.
He had to ensure that he could get a super VIP recommendation from Sobu High School, and then be admitted to a prestigious university in Tokyo for free with financial support.
Different from China.
Neon strictly distinguishes between elite education and happy education!
So, Japanese universities have things like admission fees and lectures.
Even for a national university with financial subsidies, the starting cost per year is 500,000 yen, not counting living expenses.
Famous private universities charge up to 8 million yen per year, depending on the major!
There are also expenses for accommodation, food, etc.
For example, the dormitory fee at the University of Tokyo is about 15,000 yen per month.
Even if you eat frugally in the cafeteria, the food expenses are still around 50,000 yen per month.
Therefore, it has become normal for children from ordinary families in Japan to enter society after graduating from high school.
But Gao Chuanshuo didn’t want to bow to fate like this.
“Brother, I’m back.”
Suddenly, the sound of a wooden door opening was heard, and Weiwa Mizuki’s voice sounded at the entrance.
She came to the living room, put down her schoolbag, changed her clothes and coat, tied her hair with her hairband in her mouth, and asked, “How is your novel submission going?”
Chapter 12, Final Review, the Intensely Competitive Dengeki Novel Award! (Old Version)
“It’s been approved.” Gao Chuanshuo exported the intended contract from his mobile phone. “We’ll know the result by the end of the month.”
“It was approved so quickly? That’s a bit fast.”
Yui Mizuki felt a little surprised.
But no matter what, it’s a good thing to be able to pass the manuscript.
Yuiga Mizuki took a look at the clothes he was wearing and said, “Brother, when you go to sign the contract, do you want to change your clothes?”
My brother doesn’t seem to have any suitable formal clothes yet, so he can’t go to the signing ceremony in school uniform.
She understood.
At the same time as the official signing, there seemed to be a public meeting to warm up for the new work.
Gao Chuanshuo was cutting radishes, speechless.
“Don’t think too much about it. I will use a pseudonym when I sign the contract. Whether I can win the award is another matter. Even if I do win the award, I will not attend a fan meeting where my face will be shown.”
Mizuki blinked curiously.
Doesn’t my brother like to be famous? There are students in their school who debuted in light novels.
Sales volume is not that high either.
But they really don’t want anyone to know.
But think about it.
It seems that my brother has always been like this.
He is a bit mean and likes to bully people in small matters, but he is very reliable in big matters.
Just like what they say on the Internet.
When it is dangerous, my brother is the safest; when it is safe, my brother is the most dangerous.
At least when he was with Sister Shahi.
That’s it.
The days that followed.
Takagawa Saku studies hard, sells oden at a stall, occasionally bullies his childhood sweetheart, and chats about novels with Kasumi Shiko online from time to time.
But don’t tell me yet.
After several days like this, Gao Chuanshuo didn’t find it boring. Instead, he felt that every day would be fulfilling.
Until the weekend at the end of April.
Studying is too tiring.
He finally took the initiative to invite Hachiman Hikigaya and Ayaka Totsuka to go to the game hall together.
Unexpectedly, Zaimokuza was also in the game room.
Gao Chuanshuo then went on stage and played a fighting game with them for a while.
Everyone: “…”
After Gao Chuanshuo fought for several rounds with only one life, the others were simply numb!
After Hikigaya offered to treat us.
He finally lost to Hikigaya Hachiman by a hair’s breadth of health.
Then he drank Max coffee, a specialty of Chiba, leisurely.
Zaimokuza, on the other hand, was holding a cup of Coke and looking carefully at the pachinko machine, wondering from which direction he could throw the coin with the highest probability of winning the grand prize.
suddenly.
Hikigaya Hachiman’s phone vibrated, he took it out and saw a message:
“The selection of the highest success rate electric shock newcomer award, which has attracted much attention from the entire network, will officially start tomorrow!”
Dengeki novel award?
Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly remembered something.
“Zaimokuza, the judging for the Dengeki Novel Award is about to begin. How is the novel you prepared going?”
The other party mentioned before that he seemed to be planning a novel about traveling to another world and becoming a samurai.
He said that after it is finished, he would ask them to point out the problems together.
But I never started writing.
Gao Chuanshuo at the side was also a little surprised, “Tomorrow is the day to announce the review results, so soon?”
All right.
He has been very busy recently and almost forgot about the Dengeki Novel Award.
However, when the second-instance list came out some time ago.
He did pay attention to it.
“Four Lies” was selected, but was placed in a relatively middle and back position.
In the works of others.
It looks pretty ordinary.
However, this order has nothing to do with the ranking, so he doesn’t really care.
Hikigaya and his friends are otakus to begin with.
The extremely popular Dengeki Novel Awards have also attracted much attention.
I heard that it was a topic from a light novel that I was familiar with.
Zaimokuza Yoshiki’s attention was diverted for a moment, and he accidentally pressed the coin toss button.
Snap, Snap, Snap——
The coin he had been planning for a long time fell directly down without causing any splash…
Zaimokuza Yoshiki: “…”
Then he answered with a painful look on his face and added the key points:
“My ‘Yoshiki Samurai’s Journey to Another World’? Of course I’m almost done with it.”
“But I didn’t want to vote for the Newcomer Award. This year’s Dengeki Novel Award was too competitive. We’ve been discussing this in the group these days. Not only are there many great works, but you know Yamada Elf from the previous Extreme Bunko. She even participated in the Dengeki Novel Newcomer Award and even held a live broadcast to let the servants (fans) vote for her when the time comes.”
Yamada Fairy?
Gao Chuanshuo looked strange: “It will be animated soon. Is it the author of “The Exploding Dark Fairy” Yamada Fairy?”
Well, why is she participating in the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award?
But it’s not against the rules.
All in all, it hasn’t even been a full year since the other party debuted in Extreme Bunko.
Hikigaya and Totsuka Ayaka looked at each other. They felt that Takagawa Saku’s expression at this moment was intriguing.
Then they looked at each other!
They immediately understood each other.
Both of them vaguely remembered something that happened about a month ago.
Gao Chuanshuo rejected their invitation to the game arcade and also rejected the invitation to the social gathering of the live action group.
It seems like he just wanted to help a friend and submit his work to Dengeki Bunko.
Of course they could see that Gao Chuanshuo was making friends out of nothing.
They never pointed it out.
Just keep it in mind.
But after that, until the end of the preliminary trial, Gao Chuanshuo never talked about this matter again.
Look now!
Gao Chuan’s work must have failed and failed to enter the second round.
But, come to think of it.
The Dengeki Novel Award is the most popular and valuable award for new writers.
The selection criteria are so high and the opponents are so abnormal.
Although Gao Chuanshuo’s Chinese level is okay, writing novels is different from memorizing knowledge points.
And Gaochuan himself probably isn’t very confident.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t submit my article out of thin air.
Then, Totsuka Ayaka and Hikigaya looked at each other.
They grabbed Zaimokuza and tacitly decided not to mention the electric shock reward for newcomers.
In case Gao Chuan is too sad.
“Ahem, Gao Chuan, we have something else to do so we’ll go back first.”
“We’ll give you the remaining coins, and you can play with them for a while…”
Gao Chuanshuo was a little confused, but since they had something to do.
He had no choice but to wave goodbye.
He didn’t know what Hikigaya and the others were thinking.
Otherwise, I would definitely praise him for being really good at Dihua.
After Hikigaya and the others left.
There is nothing fun to do alone, so Gao Chuanshuo grabbed the doll out of boredom.
He is okay at fighting games, but he doesn’t catch many dolls.
It’s very casual.
But after catching almost all the coins, I almost had no more.
Almost broke the defense:
“No, this machine is broken. Every time I prepare it, its claws almost come loose.”
Next to him was a girl wearing a red round hat who had been looking at him for a long time.
It seems I can’t bear to watch it anymore.
“Hey, let me help you.” Her voice was clever and pleasant.
Without even looking at the coin slot, the girl skillfully stuffed the game coins in.
Take action quickly.
Gao Chuanshuo was just about to tell her that the machine was broken and couldn’t clamp the thing.
Just once!
The penguin doll that he was about to pick up for Mizuki fell out of the frame.
Gao Chuanshuo was slightly stunned, “May I ask who you are, elder sister?”
She smiled and pointed at the name of the person who was number one in the arcade standings.
——’UMR’
————
The previous chapter was banned, and the editor said it would be released tomorrow morning.
I don’t know if anyone has read this book, I beg the audience to vote for some flowers…
Chapter 13: Is there really a newcomer who can write so smoothly? (Old version)
A reviewer of the Electric Shock Library.
It will be composed of the chief editor of the library and several core editors of the library, plus special guests.
The special guests are usually several young debut writers with stable performance.
As well as some well-known book review YouTubers who love light novels.
This year, the special guest book reviewer for Dengeki Bunko is the well-known YouTuber ‘Chiba no Fallen Saint Black Cat’.
LINE’s name is Kuroneko, and her real name is Gokou Ruri.
She likes writing novels very much.
I especially like the secondary creation of “maschera”.
Although she thinks she writes very well.
The setting is very rigorous and rich, and there are even up to three thousand pages written on the setting.
Since entering middle school.
Submitted to the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award for three consecutive years.
I thought that if I could make my debut successfully, I could provide a considerable source of income to my family.
But unfortunately, I never made it to the final selection.
The work was also evaluated by her friend Kirino Kousaka as a “self-satisfying crape myrtle novel”.
That was what pissed her off the most.
Kirino, who had only been writing for a short time, unexpectedly debuted as a writer and became a bestseller…
It’s even animated!!!
So, out of jealousy and anger, she used her sharp tongue to harshly criticize Kousaka Kirino’s representative work “Sister City” on YouTube.
Every word he said came from the bottom of his heart, and there was a hint of lemon in his words.
It looks a bit funny and like a black guy.
She originally just wanted to vent her emotions, but she didn’t expect that this track would become so popular, and her channel gained more than 10,000 subscribers in one go.
Flattered black cat.
Finally, with the support of Kirino, I decided to continue posting the sharp reviews.
Now, I occasionally do live broadcasts as a personal business owner during holidays and other free time.
The channel has nearly 80,000 subscribers.
Because this year is the junior high school to high school entrance season, the update frequency has been reduced.
Currently, the annual advertising income is maintained at around 1.5 million yen (70,000 to 80,000 Chinese yuan), which has achieved the goal of providing a source of income for the family.
Every year, she reviews the winning works of the Dengeki Novel Award on YouTube.
I didn’t expect to get official status this year.
“I hope my future works won’t disappoint me.”
A girl dressed in Lolita style was looking at the piles of light novel manuscripts that were shortlisted for the final selection.
I started reading them one by one.
She had read quite a few books before.
To be honest.
These works are pretty good to be able to enter the final selection, after all, they are works that can compete for the grand prize.
The quality is definitely guaranteed.
But here’s the thing.
After all, many of them are still newcomers, and these works are only at a good level.
For light novel enthusiasts like Kuroneko who give professional and sharp reviews.
His vision is really too picky.
Ordinary works really don’t catch her eye.
therefore.
She read more than twenty novels in a row, but only three of them got her recommendation votes.
There are a few more books on the table.
These alternative works will be arranged according to their ratings, and novels with high scores will be eliminated if they appear.
I read a few more books.
The girl was a little tired and she yawned.
Look at the last few books left.
After all, it was work, so she planned to finish watching it first and then rest.
She continued to pick up a book, but her attention was attracted by the recommendation at a glance.
The recommendation reads:
“The April sunshine is warmer than any lie, because it can illuminate your soul.”
The title of the work is “Your Lie in April.”
I have to say, the title is beautiful, but she is a little unsure of its meaning.
But she instantly thought of a very beautiful story.
She suddenly felt reluctant to open the manuscript.
She was worried that the newcomer’s writing skills might ruin the story she had imagined in her mind.
But in the end she opened the novel called “Your Lie in April”.
After all, this is work…
She read very quickly, and immediately lines of text came into view.
The story takes place three years after ‘a musical genius can no longer play’.
The protagonist is Kousei Arima, who was hit on the head by a baseball in the music room.
The culprit is none other than Kousei’s careless childhood sweetheart, Sawabe Tsubaki.
She was concerned about Kousei’s health.
There was also a soccer star named Watari Ryota who heard the noise and suddenly climbed in through the window, teasing the two of them, who had been in love since childhood.
When leaving.
Xiaochun suddenly talked about something with Kousei.
A girl in the same class likes Adu, and in order to avoid becoming a light bulb, Kousei is asked to accompany her to meet the girl.
Next, the heroine, who is like the spring sunshine, the flamboyant violinist Kaori Komiya, makes her official appearance.
After experiencing a beautiful misunderstanding with Kousei.
She stunned the audience with her unbridled performance in the preliminary round of the violin competition!
Although this way of not playing according to the score will not allow you to advance to the next round.
It was his high-spirited and confident attitude, and his playing style that had never been experienced in a competition, that attracted his usually gloomy friend A, Kousei Arima.
The writing in this work is marvelous.
As a reader of Black Cat, it’s hard to describe this feeling.
It was like a ray of rising sun, instantly clearing away the tired spiritual cells in my body.
So much so that Black Cat almost relaxed completely.
Is there really a newcomer who can write so smoothly?
She had forgotten her previous worries about the newcomer’s writing style.
I continued to read carefully to the back –
Chapter 14, “Four Lies” Gold Award? Change of plan, prepare for the grand prize! (Old version)
Black Cat continued to flip through the manuscript.
Next.
After Kousei Arima had nowhere to escape, he responded to the sincere prayer of Kaoru.
Finally agreed to the ensemble.
But the competition was about to begin, so Adu and Xiaochun hurriedly sent the two to the concert hall.
The two had no running-in.
But Saint-Saëns’ “Introduction and Rondo Capriccio” is a classic piece.
It has already been engraved in the memories of both of them.
In the second round of the Fujiwa Music Competition, Kousei returned to the performance stage again and performed an unfamiliar ensemble with Kaoru for the first time.
A sentence ‘Saint-Saens, I have been waiting for a long time.’
The melody of Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns’s “Introduction and Rondo Capriccio” began to wander in the ocean.
In the first half, the ensemble presented by the two geniuses was amazingly stable.
Everyone thinks they will advance steadily!
Until the middle.
Arima Kousei’s nightmare resurfaces, and the music disappears from his ears once again…
In pain, Kousei Arima chose to give up performing.
But seeing Xiaoxun’s stubborn persistence.
Xiaoxun’s words of persuasion and her touching presence on the music stage.
echoed in Kousei’s mind.
He found himself falling in love with this person.
So what if I can’t advance in the competition?
So what if I can’t hear any sound?
Forget Saint-Saens, forget the score, forget the judges, forget the audience…
Only Xiaoxun…
All I have to do is express my thoughts and feelings through music, show them to everyone, and show them to Xiaoxun alone…
This is a game played for her!
Kousei Arima came to his senses and broke through his inner demons!
He began to play again—
Seeing this, the black cat’s breathing went from tense to calm.
But in peaceful breathing.
A strange emotion seemed to gather in her chest, which continued to sublime along with the gradually changing musical rhythm of Saint-Saëns in the text.
As the cherry blossoms spread across the venue, a mood called April permeated the manuscript text.
The whole audience was immersed in Arima’s performance.
The black cat is in deep affection.
At this moment, she suddenly felt emotionally released.
Her throat tightened slightly and she actually choked slightly.
She was infected by the words…
Kousei and Kaoru’s first unfamiliar ensemble.
In the end, Kousei couldn’t help but feel overflowing with emotions, and he infected the entire audience with his own notes!
Although the promotion was lost due to the interruption.
But the wonderful performance afterwards.
It also earned them an invitation to the Fujiwa Music Festival.
See here——
The black cat’s eyes were sore and tears were flowing, and a myriad of thoughts were running through his mind.
She wiped her tears and slowly closed the printed manuscript. She didn’t plan to read any further and directly cast her recommendation vote for “Four Lies”!
As for the following content.
Of course, you have to wait until it is released and read it together with the light novel illustrations.
Black Cat turned to the front page again.
She checked the detailed information of the work and saw the column for the author’s pen name.
I carefully wrote down the name: “Burning Ikaros.”
Obviously a pen name.
The black cat knows the story of Icarus.
Icarus, son of Daedalus in Greek mythology.
When Ikaros and Daedalus escaped from Crete using wings made of wax and feathers, Ikaros became intoxicated with the freedom of flying and flew too high, causing the wax on his wings to melt in the sun and he fell into the water and died.
He was eventually buried on an island.
Regarding the metaphor of the story, she also remembered that her teacher said that it was about not being overconfident and warned people not to be blinded by desire.
It seems that this teacher Ikaros is a humble person.
The black cat secretly remembered the name and planned to pay more attention to it in the future.
Finally, she opened the judges’ group chat, intending to chat with everyone about “Four Lies,” but ended up opening LINE’s special guest group chat.
The black cat immediately smiled.
After all, light novels are their specialty, so it’s normal for them to discuss while reading.
But the work everyone is discussing now is not surprising:
“This book, Your Lie in April, is really something!”
“I feel like this Burning Ikaros is really going to be a big hit this time. I won’t say he’ll win the grand prize, but he’s guaranteed to win the gold prize!”
“You’re all talking about the book Your Lie in April. I haven’t seen it yet. Is it really that great?”
“It’s really quite intense. The visuals and emotions are so strong, especially the scene at the Fujiwa Music Festival where Kousei and his mother reconcile. When I watched it earlier, I, a tough guy, was moved to tears.”
“Believe it or not, even the professional editorial team of the library will be optimistic about this book. I dare say that when the results are announced, “Four Lies” will win the championship and at least be guaranteed a gold prize!”
“I just finished watching it and I’m already kneeling! This year is really too lucky. Teacher Ikaros is guaranteed to win the gold medal? I can only say that plans have changed. Prepare for the grand prize!”
As light novel writers, they naturally love reading.
So they also like the job of judging works, even though there are some works that are not that good.
But every time they see a work of the level of “Your Lie in April”, it is a satisfying feast for them.
Regarding the work “Your Lie in April”.
Discussions in amateur groups are just the tip of the iceberg.
The professional reviewers of Dengeki Bunko were also extremely uneasy at this time!
Chapter 15, the grand prize is out, the handsome Hikigaya! (Old version)
Dengeki Bunko Building, Nishi-Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.
The judging committee is also discussing the rookie season.
“Four Lies” is mentioned quite frequently.
Evaluation form for the guest group.
They have collected them all.
After summarizing.
The final results were pretty much the same.
The number of participants this year is large, and there are many good works.
But after summarizing the guests’ opinions, the main controversy arose in the list of grand prizes.
Burning Ikaros is “Your Lie in April.” contributed by Saku Takagawa and “Fairy Rings of Another World” contributed by Elf Yamada.
Both works are very good and perfect.
Who will be the winner of the grand prize? This is a question.
“How about a tie for the grand prize?”
“The Fairy Ring is the main volume, and The Four Lies is the supplementary volume.”
“In this case, we can still get one gold award. It’s a bit of a shame that the book ‘Sword of Reincarnation’ was only awarded silver.”
“Would the original volume of The Four Lies be better?”
“No, no, no. If we arrange them horizontally, there’s no problem with “Four Lies” being the main volume, but if we make “Fairy Ring” the main volume, maybe it will be able to attract more light novel talents from other libraries in the future.”
“That makes sense!”
After consultation, the review committee finalized the following results:
【Grand Prize】
Original volume: “Fairy Ring”
Supplement: Your Lie in April
【Gold Award】
Main volume: “Reincarnation Demon Sword”
Supplementary Volume: The Twelve War Girls’ Stories
【Silver Award】
Baccano!
Although they also don’t know why Yamada Fairy wants to participate in Dengeki Bunko’s Newcomer Award.
But they can’t refuse a super writer who comes to their doorstep.
Although Gao Chuanshuo was very tired after coming back from the stall, he did not stay up late.
Still maintaining a good schedule and going to bed early.
The next day at half past seven.
“Kawasaki Saki, go out!”
Gao Chuanshuo knocked on the window opposite with his bamboo sword as usual.
“Hmm~”
Saki Kawasaki turned over in a daze!
He fell off the bed!
Boom——
In a daze.
She lay on the solid floor, looking at the ceiling.
Stayed for a long time!
Only then did she realize what had happened and she covered the big bump on her head.
“It hurts! It hurts so much!!”
However!
He glanced at the alarm clock and his expression changed instantly:
“Damn it, why is it already this late!”
“Damn Gaochuan Shuo! Couldn’t you have called me earlier!”
After finishing his breakfast, Gao Chuanshuo packed up and went out.
Glanced at the time.
Then I waited at the door for a while, and then I saw Saki Kawasaki running out in a hurry.
“Hehe, good morning!”
Gao Chuanshuo said indifferently, “It’s too early. If it’s any later, we’ll be late.”
“But, Saki Kawasaki, did you fall off the bed again this morning?”
“How do you know?”
Saki Kawasaki looked embarrassed and curious.
“After calling you, I was about to go downstairs for breakfast when I heard a thump from your side.” Gao Chuanshuo added calmly, “It was so loud that I thought it was an earthquake.”
Gao Chuanshuo handed over a piece of toast, “You must have missed breakfast. Mizuki prepared this for you.”
Saki Kawasaki took the toast in the grease-proof brown paper bag and smiled slightly, with dimples faintly visible on her cheeks.
“Why is Mizuki your sister? She’s really so sweet.”
“How about I trade Dazhi with you…”
But the next moment he was stunned when he saw the bread with a missing piece.
“No, how come someone took a bite of this bread?”
“Mizuki bit it.” Gao Chuanshuo said while eating something.
How could Kawasaki Saki not understand what was going on? She pulled Gaochuan Shuo angrily and said, “Didn’t you have breakfast? Give my mother raw bread!”
Gao Chuan Shuo chewed it, then he suddenly turned around and got close to Kawasaki Saki, “Okay, I’ll give it back to you before I swallow it!”
“Gao Chuanshuo, you are sick, you are disgusting, who would want you!”
Saki Kawasaki pushed Saku Takagawa away!
Eat the toast angrily!
Damn Gao Chuanshuo, I hate him so much!
Takagawa Saku came to Sobu High School.
I found that the atmosphere today seemed different from the past. The students around me were chattering about something.
He was immediately curious, but was too embarrassed to ask.
Come to the teaching building.
I found that Hikigaya, Zaimokuza and Totsuka Ayaka were also crowded in the corridor reading a magazine.
“Zaimokuza, the public part of Your Lie in April, have you watched it?”
Hikigaya Hachiman asked.
“Of course I read it. This is a grand prize winner and it’s very popular on the forums. I stayed up until the early hours of last night just to wait for the Dengeki Bunko to announce the results. The next morning I bought the latest issue of Dengeki Magazine to see the quality of this year’s winning works.”
“I also read the public section of Dengeki Magazine and found it very interesting.” Totsuka Ayaka smiled and said, “I don’t know if a single volume will be published next week. If it is, I will buy it as soon as possible.”
“The possibility of “Fairy Ring” being published as a single volume is relatively high, but I’d better vote for “Four Lies” as a reader. I can wait until next month at most. Anyway, if I can cheat Komachi’s money, I will definitely buy a single volume.”
Hikigaya said with dark circles under his eyes.
It turns out they were discussing the results of the Dengeki Awards!
Are the results of the Dengeki Grand Prix out yet?
Watch them discuss!
It looks like “Four Lies” won a big award and received good reviews.
Just now, Totsuka Ayaka and Hikigaya both seemed to say that they wanted to buy the single volume and cast a reader vote for “Four Lies”.
The work that wins the Readers’ Favorite Award will be published as a single volume next week!
The rest will be scheduled until the end of May or the beginning of June.
The sooner the book is published, the sooner it can make money, so he also hopes to win the Readers’ Most Popular Award!
Moreover, the bookstore sold a copy of the paperback light novel!
He would end up with around 45-50 yen.
That’s 100 yen for Totsuka and Hikigaya!
Takagawa Saku suddenly felt that although Hikigaya and Totsuka had big panda eyes!
But he became more and more handsome!
Gao Chuanshuo decided not to bully them today!
Chapter 16: I think Eromanga-sensei is also handsome! (Old version)
Lunch break time!
Takagawa Saku was eating the toast that Hikigaya bought.
He glanced at his phone.
I received a text message notification from Dengeki Bunko. I checked the time and saw that I received it before nine o’clock.
It should have been sent by the editor as soon as he arrived at work.
The text message roughly said:
My work “Four Lies” won the Dengeki Novel Award. I hope to go to Dengeki Bunko as soon as possible to complete the official contract, receive the Newcomer Award bonus, and discuss other matters.
Because I have communicated with Ms. Fujii before.
He didn’t want to spend more energy on it.
The subsequent formal publication and illustration matters of “Four Lies” will be handled by the library.
So, he just took a look and got too lazy to read it and wanted to close it.
But when he saw the words “receive bonus” at the end, Gao Chuanshuo perked up and immediately replied that he would go to sign the contract in the afternoon!
If he remembered correctly!
The grand prize seems to be 3 million yen!
Very good!
Shuixi, our family is going to be rich!
It’s afternoon soon!
As soon as school was over, Takagawa Saku immediately took the Shinjuku train and arrived at the address of Dengeki Bunko.
The address given to him by editor Yuuna Fujii is the ninth floor!
However, Gao Chuanshuo just walked out of the elevator.
“Why not?”
“This is what I, the number one lady in the ORICON ranking, said!”
“Besides, I have sent my Fairy Ring series to your library, why is it still not working?”
The gothic blonde girl looked very angry.
“Ms. Yamada, please go back first. We need to discuss this matter with both Ikaros-sensei and Eromanga-sensei!”
In front of the Gothic girl was a woman wearing black-framed glasses, who looked to be in her early twenties and a little dazed.
But the tone was strong.
The next moment——
The young woman also saw Gao Chuanshuo at the elevator door.
She quickly smiled and waved to say hello.
“Ah! Mr. Ikaros! I’m your editor-in-chief Fujii Yuna, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
“Hello, Ms. Fujii, nice to meet you…”
The registration form at that time contained real information, including a photo, and Takagawa Saku was not surprised that Miss Fujii recognized him.
Gao Chuanshuo was just about to talk about collecting the bounty.
But at this time!
The Goth girl who was arguing in front of them suddenly squeezed in between the two of them.
With one hand on his waist and the other pointing at Gao Chuanshuo, he said:
“I’m here to talk about something, can you please stop cutting in line? Also, who are you?”
Gao Chuanshuo: “?”
Fujii Yuuna sighed, she could only extend her hand and introduce:
“This is Mr. Ikaros, the contributor of the second volume of this year’s Grand Prize, “Your Lie in April.”
Then he immediately introduced the girl to Gaochuan Shuo:
“This is the author of the Grand Prize-winning Fairy Ring Series, Fairy Yamada. He is also here today to discuss the subsequent publishing matters.”
Gao Chuanshuo was also a little confused. No wonder he felt that the girl looked familiar.
Then he knew what the other party’s purpose was.
“He is the burning Ikaros?”
Yamada Fairy seemed shocked as well, but then became excited:
“Then I’m looking for you. I’m looking for Ero for my new work, The Fairy Ring Series…”
“I don’t care, as long as the other party doesn’t object.”
Gao Chuanshuo asked and answered quickly, and then immediately looked at Fujii Yuna, “Ms. Fujii, can we go in and talk about the bounty now… No, the official contract?”
Seeing that Takagawa Saku was not following the routine, Fujii Yuuna and Yamada Yaojing were both a little stunned.
The Yamada fairy said stupidly:
“You…you don’t reject me, so do you want to be my servant and help me to cooperate?”
Gao Chuanshuo: “…No, I’m not interested. I just said I have no objection. I didn’t say I would help you.”
Fujii Yuuna also reacted quickly, and she quickly explained:
“Well, Eromanga-sensei has already agreed to the Four Lies. You should go and negotiate with Eromanga-sensei to see if she is willing to give up the Four Lies…”
“No way!!!”
Yamada the Fairy pouted, looking angry. “I sent an email to the editor-in-chief, but he refused to reply. I can’t get in touch with him at all!”
“She is an artist from your editorial team. They will definitely reply to your emails. Can you help me persuade her? Common sense will tell you that it is more beneficial for her to partner with me compared to the newcomer Ikaros!”
“Anyway, you should all kneel down before my literary talent!”
“Buncai…” Fujii Yuna glanced at her watch which was past five o’clock. Not wanting to waste any more time, she took out her cell phone and pretended to dial a number. “Ms. Yamada, if you continue to act like this, I will call your brother.”
Yamada the Fairy was slightly stunned, and instantly broke out in a sweat:
“Don’t, don’t call Chris. I’m going to let you go today, but remember, I’ll come back again and I won’t stop until I get to Eromanga-sensei!”
After saying those harsh words, she lifted up her skirt and ran away!
It seems that the intimidation of Chris on the mountain is much greater than she imagined.
“Alas, the author is in real trouble when encountering this problem…” Fujii Yuuna sighed.
“So what’s going on?” Gao Chuanshuo asked curiously.
Fujii Yuuna thought for a moment and decided to make it short:
“Well, you are the award-winning writer from our group, and Eromanga-sensei is also the gold medalist of our group. Naturally, we gave priority to arranging the two of you to work together. Eromanga-sensei also expressed no objection and said that he really likes the novel “Four Lies”.”
“Then when we met with the author to sign the contract this afternoon, we learned that the problematic writer Yamada-sensei had switched from the Kyōkyō Bunko to participate in our Bunko’s Newcomer Award in order to collaborate with Eromanga-sensei. She had originally tried to contact Eromanga-sensei but could not get through, so she had to resort to the stupid method of participating in the Dengeki Newcomer Award to facilitate collaboration with Eromanga-sensei.”
“I see.”
“So Mr. Ikaros, what are you going to do?”
Fujii Yuuna was a little curious.
Gao Chuanshuo pondered for a moment:
“Eromanga-sensei said he liked “Four Lies”…”
“If she cooperates with me, she will probably buy a copy of Four Lies. But if I refuse, she might turn her love for it into hatred and not buy it.”
I don’t know if the current Eromanga teacher is the first or second generation…
Anyway, I can earn a guaranteed 50 yen from her!
Gao Chuan Shuo suddenly felt that Eromanga teacher had become more handsome in his heart.
50! 50! 50! Please give me the data of flowers. Thank you so much ORZ. I think all the readers who cast flowers, comment votes and various votes are handsome!
Chapter 17, the grand prize is finally in hand! (Old version)
After knowing Gao Chuanshuo’s thoughts.
The female editor smiled and said, “Leave the matters concerning Eromanga-sensei to me. Come in and sign the contract first.”
“Teacher Ikaros, what would you like to drink?”
Fujii Yuuna took Takagawa Saku to a small conference room with a smile on her face.
“Cola.”
“That may have to wait a moment. I’ll go downstairs and buy it for you.”
“Forget it, have a cup of coffee!”
“Wait a minute!” When she heard the word coffee, Fujii Yuna’s eyes lit up.
In a moment!
Fujii Yuuna came in again with two cups of coffee.
And it’s decorated with flowers.
“…Does your company even hire a barista?”
“No, I did it. My main job in the company is to make coffee for my seniors, so I’m very skilled at it. I’m sorry to embarrass you.” Fujii Yuna smiled somewhat proudly.
“What a mess! How come you, an editor, are so good at making coffee?”
Gao Chuanshuo was shocked.
“Because I have been here for more than a year, and I am still an assistant editor of the Kagurazaka Group. The editor-in-chief of Kagurazaka took care of me and assigned you to me, saying that you are an unprecedented talent with unparalleled potential. Cultivating you into an excellent author is as easy as leading Steve Jobs and the Sharks to win the NBA Finals. Then I can be promoted to a formal editor.”
beet!
Assigning the author of the Newcomer Award to an assistant editor who has no experience in successful training…
Fortunately, he has a system and doesn’t rely too much on the editor.
Otherwise, you will really feel dizzy.
“Ms. Fujii, Yamada Fairy is also a well-known writer in the industry, at least more famous than me. Why is your attitude towards her…”
“She is so annoying, and she is not the author of our group.” Fujii Yuuna looked at Takagawa Saku with confusion, as if it was a matter of course.
Gao Chuanshuo hesitated to speak, as others were animation writers after all.
You will have no friends if you do this!
You drive a MAZDA, no wonder you are stuck in traffic…
But it’s none of his business!
At least after spending some time together, he quite likes this young editor.
This little editor has his thing.
I really care about it and will try my best to get many benefits for him.
She was even willing to go downstairs to buy him a Coke.
It’s okay.
All that’s left is to formally sign the contract.
Although “Four Lies” won the Newcomer Award, Dengeki Bunko did not give it much preferential treatment in terms of royalties.
The contract signed was still the standard contract for general libraries.
Gao Chuanshuo also understood.
After all, it has not been proven in the market.
If I can continue to write hit works in the future.
Become a best-selling author.
You can definitely get a higher share of royalties.
If I am lucky enough to become a Thunder God-level writer in Dengeki Bunko.
You can even DIY your contract.
When negotiating a contract with the library, you can raise many demands, such as the profit sharing ratio after the sale of the copyright of the work, a high buyout price, etc., to ensure the stability of income.
This is only the first book, it’s still early…
Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award!
The difference between the main volume and the supplementary volume is that the supplementary volume has a later page number in the magazine, but the bonuses and publicity are the same.
A total of 3 million yen.
The library will first pay 20% of the tax on your behalf, and at the end of the year, any excess will be refunded or the shortfall will be supplemented.
In the end, Gao Chuanshuo received a check for 2.4 million…
According to Ms. Fujii!
There are also many other taxes such as resident tax and reconstruction tax that have not been paid, and an additional tax of approximately 375,000 will have to be paid by the end of the year.
Gao Chuanshuo only had one complaint in his heart——
Damn this world, taxes are so high!
Of course, it’s not that I can’t afford it.
After all, this was just the prize money for the grand prize, and “Four Lies” was later published as a separate volume.
There will also be subsequent royalty income.
That’s the big deal.
In the days to come.
Only some people still buy the single volume of “Four Lies”.
Then Gao Chuanshuo will be able to receive a steady stream of royalties from this novel.
If you’re lucky.
Maybe a good book can sustain you for a lifetime.
But those are things we will only know the results of after the publication of “Four Lies”.
Anyway, if the performance of “Four Lies” is good.
To animate.
Then he had to start preparing the company so that he could connect with the library in the name of the company.
It would save some tax.
As far as he could remember, Yamada Fairy had incorporated himself and registered a company called “OfficeMOONSIDE” in order to deal with relevant taxes.
But at the moment, just the check for 2.4 million yen in his hand is enough to shock Takagawa Saku.
That’s a lot of 50 yen!
Holding this check.
Gao Chuanshuo, who is usually calm, couldn’t help but get excited.
But he did not leave Dengeki Bunko immediately!
He took a deep breath, made sure he was ready, and then called Huazhi, who was currently working in a lingerie store.
The call was connected soon.
There was a slightly tired voice on the other end:
“Xiao Shuo, what’s wrong? Is there anything that Sobu High School needs money for? Oh, yes, you are a sophomore in high school, so you should look for a cram school for the summer vacation in advance. How much does it cost? Auntie will transfer the money to you right away.”
“no.”
Gao Chuanshuo said quickly: “I have good news to tell you…”
Gao Chuanshuo hasn’t finished speaking yet.
Then I heard a strange voice coming from the phone:
“Weiwu Huazhi, where have you been? The inventory is blocking the door, come and pull it to the warehouse first!”
The phone suddenly hung up.
About ten minutes passed.
Only my flower branch came back and whispered:
“Xiao Shuo, the signal was bad just now. What good news did you just say? Oh, by the way, you still have to find a cram school for the summer vacation. Try your best to get into a good university and don’t worry about the money!”
Gao Chuanshuo couldn’t help but feel sad:
“No, Aunt Huazhi, you don’t have to worry about the university. I have good grades and there is a high chance that I will be admitted. What I want to say is that I wrote a novel some time ago and won a prize. After deducting taxes, I made about 2 million!”
“More than two million? To write a novel?”
Weiwohuazhi, who was somewhat pleased to hear that she had won the award, was also slightly stunned.
Chapter 18, The winner gets Eromanga-sensei! (Old version)
I heard over 2 million yen!
Instead of being happy, Huazhi was completely panicked:
“Xiaoshuo, don’t lie to your aunt! Did you join the Yakuza, or did you do something bad?”
I also heard that some old women specifically like to target handsome male pole singers.
Think of this.
If something really happened to Gaochuan Shuo, how could she be worthy of his biological mother.
Only my voice has a bit of cry tone.
He suddenly felt a little amused and helpless.
What the hell is going on?
He had no choice but to explain:
“Aunt Huazhi, I really did write a novel, and Mizuki also knows about it. Why don’t you ask Mizuki when you get home tonight? He also knows about the novel I wrote. I still have the award-winning report, and you can take a look at it when you come back tonight.”
“You…you…”
“Is it possible that Mizuki and the report would lie to you?”
The voice of Weiwo Huazhi was a little shaky when she spoke:
“Okay, I believe it… I believe it… I know you, Xiao Shuo, would never lie to me. I just can’t believe it for a moment. I’m so happy… Then you can keep this money for your college education…”
Gao Chuanshuo shook his head:
“I’ll keep 400,000 of the 2.4 million and transfer the rest to you. I know you have three children to support and have borrowed a lot of money from neighbors and relatives. You never told us how much you borrowed. Go pay the money back first!”
“There’s no rush for this… You should first make sure that you can pay for your college tuition. I will pay you back separately, not a penny less, and I will even include the interest…”
Gao Chuanshuo was silent for a moment:
“My current book is a bonus. After it is actually released, I will receive royalties every month. The money I earn in the future will be enough for me to live on. You don’t have to worry about me!”
There was silence over there.
Gao Chuanshuo continued in a relaxed tone:
“Listen to me, let’s pay off the debt first! In addition to this book, I also wrote a short story recently, which should be able to make a lot of money!”
Only Huazhi started to complain:
“You kid! How can you make money just by writing? If you can make money by writing one book, it’s already amazing! Auntie also knows that those great writers can’t make money from every book…”
“I have confidence!” said Gao Chuanshuo.
“Nonsense!”
“Aunt Huazhi, I’m not in a hurry about my university tuition. My current academic ranking qualifies me for special VIP admission. If I succeed, I can go to university free of tuition. Then you will have less financial pressure.”
“Okay, okay, Auntie believes in you, but before you get it, you have to be prepared…”
“I know.”
After chatting for a while, he finally persuaded the other party and repeatedly reminded Aunt Huazhi to pay off the debt first.
After seeing the other party’s repeated agreement, Gao Chuanshuo hung up the phone.
Leave the Dengeki Library.
Gao Chuanshuo went to a nearby bank, cashed the check directly, and transferred 2 million yen to Aunt Huazhi.
Then he took out ten 10,000 yen bills.
Back home.
Yuiga Mizuki has already picked up Ye Yue from kindergarten and started cutting radishes to prepare vegetables at home.
“I’m back.”
“Brother, how was the meal outside?”
Mizuki didn’t ask about the contract result, but asked this first.
“No.”
“Didn’t Editor Fujii treat you to a nice dinner?”
Mizuki Yuiga felt a little strange. She heard from a classmate in her class, Chie Takasago, whose family ran a bookstore.
After the signing meeting, the editor will treat you to a meal.
“I refused. I was worried about you taking Ye Yue out to the stall alone.”
As he spoke, Gao Chuan Shuo began to change his clothes.
Then he handed a 100,000 yen note to Yuiga Mizuki.
“I have already handed over most of the bonus to my mother. This is your portion. You can use it to buy a new school uniform, and the rest is for your own pocket money.”
Yuiga Mizuki lowered her head and stared blankly at the 100,000 yen in her hand!
She always behaves maturely!
I couldn’t help but pause.
“One, one hundred thousand yen… Brother, is this too much?”
She murmured as she looked at the money in her hand!
This is more than what they make in a month setting up their night stall!
For a junior high school student, this amount is enough to shock her!
“You should always have some cash on you, and besides your school uniform, you can probably get a new set of underwear, socks, etc.”
“Well…well…”
Holding on to one hundred thousand dollars!
Wei wa Mizuki swallowed her saliva.
The girl showed her joy and excitement, which was rare: “Brother, you are really amazing. You can make so much money just by writing a novel…”
“Stop flattering me. Let’s get off work early today and go for a walk on the street together!”
“Okay, bro!”
Yuiga Mizuki smiled beautifully.
Next, it’s Takagawa Saku and Yuiga Mizuki.
He did not stop because of his small success and continued to work step by step.
Six o’clock in the afternoon!
This side of the Electric Library Building.
The female editor, Fujii Yuuna, has not yet left work.
Although it is a happy thing that I successfully signed a contract with Mr. Ikaros today.
But the competition is not over yet!
Until the new talent list is finalized.
I’m afraid it’s not just her!
It probably won’t be easy for any of the library editors competing for the newcomer list.
Because the real tough battle is coming!
The first place in the Newcomer List will receive the Readers’ Most Popular Award!
And just now she asked the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka and the editor-in-chief Yamada Fairy.
Just about Eromanga!
After communicating with the editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief considered it for a long time and finally decided that Yamada Yaoi was a best-selling author who had jumped from another library.
I still have to give her an explanation, but I won’t be too partial.
The resulting condition is.
The competition for the new electric shock list is about to begin!
The winner will be determined by who wins the Most Popular Award!
The winning side!
You can ask Eromanga-sensei to draw illustrations for your new work!
Chapter 19: The third place on the new electric shock list is about to start the Northern Expedition! (Old version)
I’m betting on the idea that Eromanga-sensei wants to compete with Fairy Ring!
Both parties were soon informed by their editors.
“Let the real results change Eromanga-sensei’s mind, and I will get the ultimate illustration!”
“To become the king of novels, one must not be afraid of any challenge!”
The Yamada Fairy agreed very readily.
However, Takagawa Saku’s reply left Fujii Yuna puzzled:
“In that case, regardless of whether we win or lose, Eromanga-sensei won’t turn his love for her into hatred and refuse to buy the book, right?”
But anyway, it looks like there’s no objection!
That’s the case!
Fujii Yuna squinted her eyes, adjusted her black-framed glasses, and slammed the table!
Then let’s fight it out with that problematic girl writer, and I must help Takagawa Saku to protect Eromanga-sensei at all costs!
But after the enthusiasm was dashed!
Fujii Yuna suddenly felt a lot of pressure!
Undeniable!
Yamada Fairy is not a newcomer at all, but a real animation writer!
She went down to compete with pure newcomers for the top spot on the Electric Shock Newcomer Chart.
The advantage is really too big!
After all, with the foundation of best-selling works, it is very easy to promote new works. Even if the new works are not that good, the fans who come with them can help to rank them without any brains!
Thinking of this, Fujii Yuna felt a headache.
“Forget it, let’s see the results of the first day before making any plans…”
Electric shock newcomer list!
The chart will be opened on time at 6:00 p.m. on the first day after the release of the Dengeki Novel Daily Newcomer Season Special Edition.
There are still more than ten minutes left.
I don’t know why!
She actually felt that this period of time was a bit torturous.
She now just hopes that “Four Lies” will not fall out of the top three.
otherwise!
I’m afraid the gap is too big and it’s really hard to catch up.
Fujii Yuna took a deep breath and lay on the chair with her eyes closed.
“Ding ding ding ding…”
Six o’clock in the afternoon finally arrived.
Fujii Yuna opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted her black-framed glasses.
“Let’s get started!”
She turned on the computer and went to the official website of Dian○Bunku!
Not only Fujii Yuuna, I’m afraid the entire Dian○ Library and even other light novel libraries are eyeing this newly updated list:
——Electric shock newcomer list!
In the next week!
The official will update the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award list in real time based on the voting receipts received!
Even some excellent works that have not won awards before will appear on it, and there are also records of works that have not won awards being published before.
Fujii Yuna refreshed her page and saw that it was true!
First place in the new talent list:
The “Isekai Fairy Ring” series is written by Yamada Fairy.
Number of votes: 1251.
In the past, the top authors would fight to the death for the top spot, and the atmosphere would be full of tension.
But this year is different.
Authors like Yamada Yoji are still rare.
He is not very old, and his novel sales have reached 2.2 million copies in just one year since his debut in Extreme Library.
It’s even going to be animated soon!
It is definitely a real show with its own traffic.
However, the Kagurazaka Group would definitely not be able to sign such an author.
She wasn’t too jealous either.
Having been able to sign with Teacher Ikaros, she no longer asked for more.
Fujii Yuuna continued to read on——
Second place in the new talent list:
“Reincarnation Demon Sword”, author Old Testament.
Number of votes: 943.
This is the gold medal work of this session.
The author is from the editorial team next door, and seems to be a college student at Tokyo Arts University. After the gold award was announced, it seemed to have become popular on the school forum. I didn’t expect the response to be so good.
Third place in the new talent list:
“Your Lie in April”, by Burning Ikaros.
Number of votes: 789.
Seeing that the third place was “Four Lies”, Fujii Yuna breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little sense of crisis.
Actually, this is a pretty good result.
Before, I didn’t know if it was because Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka signed Senjumura Masayuki and promoted him to Editor-in-Chief, which used up all the luck of their group.
After the Senjumura expedition, their Kagurazaka group never made it into the top three again.
So “Four Lies” is a great work!
She also believes in Gao Chuanshuo’s level!
But I still can’t help but worry.
but!
The ranking on the first day does not represent the final ranking, there are still six consecutive days of competition!
But achieving this result without any publicity shows that the readers’ feedback is very good and there is still a chance.
She quickly called the editor-in-chief of Kagurazaka:
“Editor-in-chief Kagurazaka, we are currently in third place, 450 votes away from the first place of Mr. Yamada Fairy. I want to apply for a recommendation for Mr. Ikaros.”
The person on the other end of the phone naturally knew what happened!
She also didn’t want the gold medal painter she discovered personally to be lured away by the works of other groups.
Besides.
She really thinks the book “Four Lies” has great potential!
The market value may not necessarily be worse than “The Fairy Ring”!
“Well, third place is not bad, and it’s only 450 votes away. Go contact a few book reviewers I often work with. Don’t worry about the company. I will get the highest recommendation I can for Mr. Ikaros.”
“We are going to start the Northern Expedition!”
Chapter 20: No, why did the votes for “Four Lies” go crazy? (Old version)
And the outside world at this time.
The atmosphere of the rookie season has spread across the Internet with the launch of the Electric Shock Newcomer List.
X, ig, YouTube, and well-known light novel forums!
Many light novel reviewers have come out to recommend their favorite works, or to make some money by publishing some pre-written drafts to take advantage of the popularity of the Newcomer Award to get a piece of the pie!
The former are more numerous, while the latter are less numerous!
Because in neon!
The light novel culture is deeply rooted in young people, and their aesthetic standards are relatively low. They are not fools who will allow themselves to be fooled by book reviewers.
In previous years, the book reviews for the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award were full of diverse opinions!
result!
What is unexpected is that this year, the recommended track chosen by the vast majority of book reviewers was unanimously the third place on the Newcomer List!
That is “Your Lie in April”.
What’s scary is!
It turns out that these book reviews were not found by Fujii Yuuna to promote the books with a purpose, but they did it spontaneously!
This rhythm!
This aroused the interest of many passers-by in “Your Lie in April”, and suddenly there were more discussions online about “Four Lies” and the author Burning Icarus!
Especially the well-known book reviewer, Black Cat, who was one of the judges invited to participate in the Newcomer Award this year, in the book review video he posted on YouTube.
Very lively.
Black Cat is different from other book reviewers, who can only get a glimpse of the public content of daily magazines.
But black cats are different.
For the articles that entered the final review, she had basically read the entire volume!
The content of her book reviews is naturally much richer than that of other book reviewers, and is more real, down-to-earth and well-founded.
Unlike other book reviewers who just want to attract attention and talk big!
In the picture.
The girl in the black Gothic skirt had a fair face and spoke in a calm tone.
“First of all, let me tell you.”
“As one of the final judges of Dengeki Bunko, I didn’t have any expectations before reading Four Lies!”
“I was even worried that the recommendation was too beautiful and that Mr. Ikaros’s writing skills were not good enough and would ruin it.”
“But after watching the second match, the one where Kousei played first and Kaoru played together, I must sincerely apologize to Mr. Ikaros. I shouldn’t have made a rash judgment based on the previous works!”
“This is indeed a beautiful story of redemption and growth…”
“Anyway, since the single volume is still on sale, I don’t want to reveal too much. I just hope that friends who bought the magazine will take the time to fill in the name of “Four Lies” on the voting receipt, so that Dengeki Bunko can quickly publish the single volume of “Four Lies”. I really want to read it, and I can guarantee that it will not disappoint you!”
Below, the comments are also very lively, some are praising the black cat’s appearance, and some are making fun of the money.
But there are also serious comments:
“Your Lie in April, this book title is quite interesting. Since Kuroneko-chan recommends it so much, if I can really accept the beginning, I will definitely vote for Your Lie in April!”
“Don’t mention it, seven of the ten light novel reviewers I follow have recommended Your Lie in April. Now I have to check out the daily magazine!”
“I bought a magazine today and read the beginning of “Four Lies”. I feel that it is not as exaggerated as Kuroneko-chan’s story. I feel that it is not as good as “Fairy Rings” by Mr. Yamada Fairy, who was recommended by Pingzi. Mr. Pingzi said that “Fairy Rings” has never had such a wonderful beginning. So I will vote for “Fairy Rings” with Mr. Pingzi!”
“Bottle? LSP laser bottle? There has never been such a wonderful start? Oh no, you really followed the right one. Then I choose to follow Kuroneko-chan’s “Four Lies”!”
“Anyway, I think “Four Lies” is pretty good. I’ll vote for it. When the book comes out, I’ll definitely support it again!”
“Kuroneko-chan recommended it, it’s a must-see!”
“I took a look and it felt pretty average…”
“As expected, taste is everything. Anyway, I found the beginning of “Four Lies” quite interesting, especially after the heroine appeared. After Kuroneko-chan said this today, I am even more interested in the rest of the story!”
After the results came out!
Fujii Yuuna sent a message to Takagawa Saku:
“Teacher Ikaros, congratulations to “Four Lies” for reaching third place on the Dengeki Newcomer Ranking!”
Gao Chuanshuo is busy setting up his stall.
“Is ‘Four Lies’ the third place?”
Gao Chuanshuo is a little different.
But he still took the time to ask seriously:
“As a grand prize-winning work, third place should be fine, but isn’t that too low?”
Fujii Yuna was somewhat stunned:
“Teacher Ikaros, as an author, don’t you pay attention to the newcomer list?”
Takagawa Saku thought of Hikigaya and others.
“It’s okay, Ms. Fujii. My classmates are paying attention.”
Fujii Yuna was choked and didn’t know how to answer.
She had no choice but to return to Gao Chuanshuo’s question:
“Teacher Yamada Fairy and Teacher Shengyue have been running the rankings before the daily publication. Being ranked third is a great result. However, today is only the first day. We will help you keep your ranking in the next six days.”
“Thank you, Ms. Fujii.”
Fujii Yuna is so devoted to “Four Lies” that his gratitude comes from the heart.
She really didn’t know how to chat with Gao Chuan.
Compared to her nervousness and excitement when she just learned the result, Gao Chuan was too calm, making her seem shocked.
Under the greatness!
She had no choice but to make an excuse, say goodbye and hang up the phone.
After saying goodbye!
Yuuna Fujii continued to stare at the real-time page of the official Dengeki Bunko’s new talent list.
The few book reviewers that Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka asked her to find haven’t made any progress yet!
She was afraid that if she lost her concentration, she would lose her third place!
But as she watched, Fujii Yuuna couldn’t sit still anymore!!
No, buddy!
It’s not that the number of votes for “Four Lies” was surpassed by the fourth place, but the increase in the popularity of “Four Lies” seemed to be a little faster than she expected.
Is this true or false?
Isn’t Editor-in-Chief Kamisaka Raku going to start promoting “Four Lies” tomorrow?
Why does the vote count seem to be increasing?
It seems like it will soon catch up with the second place “Reincarnation Sword”? !
I’m speechless. I haven’t even started writing, but chapters are banned every day. Chapter 15 was also banned. Because the amount of the reward was announced, it involved luring readers to submit to the Dian○WenKu. I was forced to delete and modify some content. Well, anyway… If you want to write a novel, please submit to this website in the future…
Today is the weekend, I will update another chapter later, begging readers for data, ORZ…
Chapter 21, I admit that I was too arrogant before! (Old version)
The second place is “Reincarnation Demon Sword” by new writer Sheng Yue.
Number of votes: 1123.
When the list was first published, the number of votes for Reincarnation Sword was around 950.
So far, it has increased by about 170!
But Your Lie in April.
When the list was just released.
It was less than 800 at first, but till now, it has increased by about 270!
Reached 1070!
The gap to the second place is less than 50!
And it seems that the growth is still continuing, and Fujii Yuuna suddenly became nervous!
It won’t be better than “Reincarnation Sword”!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, his heartbeat quickened!
Although she always felt that she could surpass the second place.
Especially in tomorrow’s Journal!
After the heroine Miyazono Kaoru in “Violin Love” of the second chapter of “Four Lies” came out to perform, she felt that the number of votes for “Four Lies” would experience a small peak!
But look at it now!
It won’t surpass “Reincarnation Sword” now, right?
Fujii Yuuna felt hot all over and her heart was beating fast.
She kept refreshing the page. Every time she refreshed it, the votes for “Four Lies” got closer!
The votes between the two sides are shrinking!
refresh!
50!
40!
30!
After Fujii Yuuna refreshed the list for who knows how many times, she suddenly jumped up!
Excited face!
Click on the second place on the newcomer list and win it!
Your Lie in April!
Number of votes: 1215!
The third place, “Reincarnation Demon Sword”, has only 1190 votes and has been kicked out of the top two!
Fujii Yuuna almost laughed out loud like a goose.
Unexpectedly!
She just told Teacher Ikaros that she would hold on to her third place!
“Your Lie in April” quietly surpassed “Reincarnation Sword” and became the second place!
And it’s still rising.
It seems that the gap with “Magic Sword” is getting bigger and bigger. As expected, “Magic Sword” has been eliminated in the finals!
There are also many people in the industry who received this news the moment “Four Lies” became the second most stable!
They couldn’t help but be a little surprised!
The circle suddenly became lively!
“‘Four Lies’ is second!”
“This data increase is indeed a bit outrageous. I didn’t expect that Teacher Shengyue couldn’t even make it through a day!”
“This increase is indeed a bit outrageous…”
“Everyone, don’t forget that Yamada Fairy-sensei’s situation is rather special. If we round it up, “Four Lies” is equivalent to this year’s Grand Prize + Champion.”
“I don’t think there’s any need to round it off.”
“I don’t know if you have noticed that although Yamada Fairy’s Fairy Ring is far ahead, in terms of data growth, Four Lies is obviously higher. I think everyone knows what this means!”
Someone immediately became interested.
“This, what do you mean?”
“Anyway, everyone, get ready. I have a feeling this week will be a battle of gods. Don’t think that Fairy Rings is really going to win the game!”
It sounds like… the animation writer Yamada Yaojing teacher!
Is there a chance that I will be defeated by a newcomer in the Electric Shock Newcomer Award?
Thinking of this, others suddenly found it interesting!
“interesting!”
“I really hope the Dengeki Bunko Daily will be published soon. I want to see a river of blood!”
at the same time.
A chain izakaya called “Kushitori” in Dongyiwai!
This izakaya is known as the representative of the neon skewers world!
It is also a must-try delicacy when traveling to Hokkaido, but its branch is also very popular in Tokyo.
The covenant of the author of the original second place “Reincarnation Demon Sword”!
He is eating skewers with his college roommate.
When he got the gold reward!
It caused a huge craze in the Dongyi forum, and many students bought the daily magazine to vote for “Reincarnation Sword”!
After learning that I won the second place!
Moreover, the editor told him!
We will invest resources in him tomorrow and try our best to keep his position!
This made Shengyue so happy that he couldn’t help but swipe his credit card and also invited his classmates to a celebration dinner!
I ordered a bunch of beef tenderloin, beef tongue, grilled chicken wings, grilled cartilage, asparagus, potatoes, cheese rice cakes…
I wanted to say I was happy and enjoy the meal!
I haven’t even eaten half of it yet!
He heard some classmates say that their work was blasted.
“Your work has just been blown up!”
Shengyue didn’t take it seriously as a joke. He took a sip of beer and picked up a few skewers of beef tenderloin.
I plan to continue having fun with my classmates.
But I saw my classmates mourning for me.
Suddenly I felt that something was wrong!
He quickly took out his cell phone!
I saw the hot news online and then looked at “Four Lies”, which had a large lead over his in votes.
Saint Covenant was suddenly confused.
“No, where’s my second place? I was still pretending to be cool ten minutes ago, where did such a big second place go?”
The students are still very sensible!
For the sake of being the sponsor of tonight’s dinner!
No one is inhumane enough to rub salt into the wound, saying that he opened champagne in the middle of the game, but instead began to comfort the covenant.
Shengyue still felt a little unconvinced!
The first place is the already famous writer Yamada Yaoi, and he has also read Yamada Yaoi’s new work “Yamada Yaoi Ring”.
He really is ashamed of himself!
But Icarus, the author of “Four Lies”, is obviously a newcomer like him!
He doesn’t think “Four Lies” will be that great!
I just thought that the other party got the big prize by luck.
After the new talent list came out, I saw that my ranking was higher than “Four Lies”.
He became more determined about this idea!
“Who among you brought the journal…”
“I, I brought…”
A boy raised his hand and said that he brought the evidence in order to make it easier for him to show off to girls.
“Let me see!” said Covenant indignantly.
He wanted to see how powerful this “Four Lies” was.
“ah?”
After reading the first episode, Shengyi took the daily magazine.
There was a long silence.
He shook his head in annoyance.
Feel sorry!
He admitted that he had been inflated before.
But the next moment.
He looked at the first place Yamada Fairy’s new work “Fairy Ring” and remembered the content.
I felt relieved immediately.
“It’s okay, everyone has to die!”
PS: That’s all for today. Good night, brothers. See you tomorrow.
The flowers almost broke 2000. I am an obsessive-compulsive writer. I beg you to give me some flowers ORZ…
Chapter 22: The past with Kasumi Shiko, not speed, but Shuo! (Old version)
at this time.
In a beautiful, spotless room.
Kasumigaoka Utaha finished taking a bath.
She was wearing pajamas with a large neckline, which was a bit loose, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white shoulders. You could vaguely see the bulging white area.
She didn’t care.
Looking at the second-ranked “Four Lies” on the laptop, and then glancing at the daily edition of the electric shock magazine in his hand, he pondered for a long time before smiling and saying, “Shuo Jun, this is going to be a big hit.”
The Burning Ikaros, also known as Saku Takagawa.
Thanks to the favor of the God of Destiny.
She met him one afternoon two years ago when she was at the lowest point in her life.
Kasumigaoka Utaha’s sight began to change——
At first.
As a girl who has never lost the top spot in the school and has shown extraordinary talent in the field of literature since childhood, she was a proud girl who had already written scripts for the drama club in elementary and junior high school.
She has always believed that she has literary talent.
So, after graduating from junior high school.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, he went to Shinchosha to submit his carefully crafted literary work!
Just as she began to fantasize.
Once the novel was published, it immediately caused a sensation and shocked the readers and literary circles.
Just one glance!
The editor of Shinchosha threw the manuscript aside with disdain, and brought Kasumigaoka Utaha back to reality: “This is a completely childish work of mortals. What do you think we are? We are Shinchosha!”
Then, the editor’s ruthless words destroyed her work completely.
“Security, don’t let any random cats or dogs in here anymore!”
The students who came to watch the show gathered at the door, making a lot of noise.
“Hey, Kasumigaoka was rejected by Shinchosha and was severely criticized by the editor!”
“Is that so? She can’t do that either. But that’s true. It’s a new trend…”
Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha come out, some people also laughed and comforted her:
“Don’t worry about it. After all, it’s trendy. Half of Japan’s modern and contemporary famous writers have passed through this door frame. Even if you can’t pass it, you can continue to thank the club for the drama…”
Some people also secretly mocked:
“Tsk tsk, you wrote two good scripts for the drama club. You really think you are a literary talent. You even dare to submit your work to the New Trend Club…”
The girl walked towards the gate of Shinchosha holding the manuscript, and she could not hear anything.
To her, the moment was as silent as death.
The wind today is very noisy, and the bitterness keeps rushing to my head.
After leaving Xinchao, she held her manuscript in her arms.
I sat alone by the river for an entire afternoon.
I was in a daze, not thinking about anything.
Until the noisy wind blew away her manuscript, and a few pages fell into the river.
She stretched out her hands toward the river.
I feel so powerless in my heart.
This is not the first time I have failed today.
Maybe you should get used to it!
But as she watched the manuscript paper floating down the river, the girl couldn’t help but shed tears.
But just in time!
It was as if a ray of light shone from the sky, like lightning breaking through dark clouds.
A boy about her age appeared.
He took one look at the girl!
With a determined look, he took off his school uniform jacket neatly!
Suddenly he dived into the river!
With great effort, he helped the girl pick up the manuscript papers one by one along the water flow.
Also very careful not to break it.
“Seeing you’ve been holding it all day, I thought it must be a very precious thing…”
It was obviously criticized by the trendy editors as worthless shit!
That boy, Gao Chuanshuo, just for such a simple reason.
He resolutely jumped into the river.
“Ah, I’m saved…”
This moment.
She actually felt that the young man in front of her, who was holding the manuscript like a drowned rat, was so brilliant that he overwhelmed everyone else.
Dazzling, so dazzling!
Is he really not here to show off?
The girl stared blankly at the boy’s figure, her heart beating silently.
The rest of the story is also very simple.
After introducing each other!
The young man named Takagawa Saku sat next to her and read the work he had personally rescued.
“Looking at the title, I thought it was a sad literary work, but it’s actually not sad at all. It’s a very interesting story. It’s very interesting.”
The boy looked at her, smiling.
“Your work is well written, but the plot is more suitable for light novels. Would you like to try writing a light novel with me?”
The girl narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her answer was also very simple.
“sure!”
“The story begins with the literary girl by the river and the boy who dives into the river…”
Thinking of the past, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn’t help but laugh.
Although she knew before that if Gao Chuanshuo wrote novels seriously, he would definitely write better than herself, she didn’t expect that he would achieve results so soon.
If I meet Shuojun again next time, how should I greet him?
The story of Icarus comes to mind.
I believe that the Shuo Giant will not change.
The girl took out her phone and sent a message: “Congratulations, Speedy-kun, you’re ranked second. Do you want to go to the library together this weekend? I need to look up some information.”
Ding Dong! Soon, the other party replied to the message.
“It’s not Speed, it’s Shuo!”
(In Japanese, the pronunciations of ‘Shuo’ and ‘Jisu’ are very similar.)
Chapter 23: Achieve system achievements and obtain the animation script “Plastic Memory”! (Old version)
Gao Chuanshuo’s room.
After just coming back from closing the stall and briefly shopping with Mizuki at a nearby supermarket, Takagawa Saku, who had just finished taking a shower, put a towel on his head and reached out his hand to reply to Kasumigaoka Utaha’s message.
Because it was too late today, I just went shopping in the supermarket.
Mizuki was not satisfied, so he agreed to take his younger sister Ye Yue to visit Shinjuku on the weekend.
After thinking about it, there are two days in the weekend.
That’s not a problem.
This is a good opportunity to ask about the super VIP recommendation. After all, Kasumigaoka Utaha has been ranked first in the school for two and a half years in a row.
She should have some knowledge about this.
Decided later.
He asked for specific information about the library’s location.
I don’t know if Kasumigaoka Utaha was staring at the phone page, but she replied immediately!
Gao Chuanshuo took a look!
At the municipal library near the private Fengzhiqi Academy.
good!
It wasn’t very far, Gao Chuanshuo said goodbye and put down his phone.
But at this moment, a pleasant and crisp reminder sound suddenly rang in my ears:
“Congratulations to the host. All things are difficult at the beginning. Achievement achieved: total depression value exceeds 1,000!”
“Reward for depression value exceeding 1,000: a gold-level treasure chest!”
Has the depression value exceeded 1,000?
Gao Chuanshuo’s heart moved and he looked up at the situation on the system panel.
[The sadness touched by Fujii Yuuna, depression value +50][The sadness touched by Kagurazaka Ayame, depression value +50][Touched by Gokogen Ruri, depression value +50][Depression value: 1058]Compared to before, it has more than doubled and directly exceeded one thousand, which is obviously brought by “Four Lies”.
Although there is no ending yet.
Apparently, the plot about the mother touched some sensitive people.
The depression value directly exceeded one thousand.
“System, how much depression value should I get next time to continue to achieve the achievement…”
“Ten thousand?”
soon.
The system’s explanation came to my mind: “One hundred thousand.”
Gao Chuanshuo was speechless.
He knew the next achievement would not be easy.
But I didn’t expect it to be so difficult. I’ve never seen a direct jump from one thousand to one hundred thousand.
But it’s okay, he still has “The Forest of Fireflies” in his warehouse, if the second volume of “Four Lies” is also released.
I’m afraid it will be refined in an instant.
Not to mention 100,000, even 500,000 should be a problem.
And now I have obtained a gold-level treasure chest.
Thinking back to when I was checking out at the supermarket today.
There was a lottery event, and I didn’t win anything, but Mizuki actually won the third prize in a row, and got an umbrella and a girls’ comic book for free.
Obviously his sister is more lucky than him.
He quickly ran to his sister’s room and saw her swinging her white feet and lying on the bed reading the girls’ comic book she had just drawn.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Gao Chuanshuo curiously.
“Brother, what’s wrong with you?”
“Oh my god!” Gao Chuan Shuo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pinch Mizuki’s face, and then sneakily ran back to his room.
Only Mizuki was slightly stunned.
“What is this?”
Although she had always had enough understanding and trust in Gaochuan Shuo, her behavior of touching her face and then running back to the bedroom immediately always made people feel strange.
I returned to my bedroom and looked at my right hand which was full of European power.
He quickly called out the system and shouted in his heart:
“System, I want to open the treasure chest!”
The treasure chest is opened!
System prompt: [Congratulations on obtaining the animation script “Plastic Memory”! ]“script?”
In Neon, animation scripts are called scripts and animation directors are called supervisors.
A script is more than just a written transcript of a play!
It also includes lines, dialogues, actions and other details, which is the work of making the story script or novel detailed.
Moreover, it is different from China!
In Japan, compared to light novel writers, screenwriters have a much higher status. They are on par with musicians and directors in the crew.
core members of.
“Plastic Memories is also a healing masterpiece on par with Four Lies and Anohana.”
If you look at it from this perspective!
Gao Chuanshuo suddenly felt that his luck had improved!
Okay, he decided!
Next time there is a treasure chest to be opened, he must get close to Mizuki first!
“But how do I use this animation script?”
This is the next question Gao Chuanshuo will think about.
At this time, Gao Chuanshuo suddenly remembered!
It seems that Yamada Fairy established a drama company called “One Side of the Moon” for the animation adaptation.
After this matter with Eromanga-sensei is over.
You can consult her.
If that doesn’t work, then I can only ask Ms. Fujii if she has any channels.
On Tuesday, go to school as usual.
On the campus of Sobu High School,
After a day of fermentation, after Xiaoxun came out in the second episode, more people discussed “Four Lies”.
To the point that now everyone looks like 50 yen to Gaochuan Shuo!
Everyone looks much kinder!
So much so that at Ye Shan’s invitation, he even played basketball with the Xianmatsu group during physical education class.
What is a current charging group?
In short, during almost every break, you can hear them chatting and laughing.
A group of flirtatious people…
Although Gao Chuanshuo rarely uses this word to describe a group of people.
But that’s the truth!
In his opinion, there is no disparagement, just being realistic, the current group is indeed eye-catching, sexy and wild.
For ordinary people.
Joining them can satisfy one’s vanity and also give one an illusory sense of superiority that does not belong to the Goblins.
Yumiko Miura has wanted to recruit him to form a small group based on his good looks more than once.
But they were all rejected by Gao Chuanshuo.
Chapter 24: My club leader is Yukinoshita Yukino! (Old version)
Because he knows that he is different from them, this illusory sense of superiority cannot solve his life problems.
But his relationship with the current group is not that strained.
At least the relationship with Ye Shan is okay.
After all, Ye Shan is always friendly to others no matter who they are.
It is naturally impossible for Gao Chuanshuo to give someone a cold face easily.
And Ebina Hime is also OK!
In jargon, Hime is considered Saki Kawasaki’s best friend and has played many jokes on him and Saki.
As long as they come into contact at school!
Ebina would say something like ‘Saki Saki, your childhood sweetheart is here!’
After another offensive and defensive battle with Ye Shan.
“Ding-ling-ling——!”
The bell for the end of get out of class rang!
But on the basketball court, the score between the two sides is currently tied.
Now it’s Takakawa Sakukata’s turn to attack!
Takagawa Saku and Hayama were engaged in the final attack and defense, and the loser had to buy a drink.
Now it’s overtime, and one goal will decide the outcome!
But quite a few people nearby had gathered around, and some people on the court had become a little restrained by the surrounding girls!
This also gave Gao Chuanshuo an opportunity to attack!
Holding the ball, approaching!
Fake jump shot!
Without hesitation, the knife fell!
——My three-point sword is the flame of hell!
The basketball went into the net——!
Okay, it’s in!
Gao Chuanshuo breathed a sigh of relief!
Finally no need to buy drinks!
A can of drink costs 300 yen!
This amount of money is equivalent to six copies of “Four Lies”, so don’t spend it carelessly!
Basketball court!
The girls watching were shouting loudly, they had no idea that Gao Chuanshuo was thinking so desperately!
I just think he won, so handsome.
“Wow, that boy across from Ye Shan is so handsome!”
“You mean Gao Chuan? Don’t you know? His grades have always been the best in our school!”
“Hey, this is too strong – so handsome!”
Saki Kawasaki and Ebina were also there.
“Saki Saki, your childhood sweetheart seems to be more popular than Ye Shan!”
After playing tennis, Saki Kawasaki sat next to the basketball to rest.
She took a sip of mineral water.
He rolled his eyes at the group of crazy girls:
“I can’t stand it. I really don’t understand why Gaochuan Shuo is so popular with girls. Hime, do you think they are blind…”
But before she finished her words, she was slightly stunned.
Because she saw it on the basketball court.
Her classmate Yuigahama Yui seemed to be holding a bottle of water and came to Takagawa Saku’s side. Her sweet smile looked a little restrained. If nothing unexpected happened, she was probably delivering water to Takagawa Saku.
——Why did Yuigahama-san bring water to Takagawa Saku?
Saki Kawasaki couldn’t help but be stunned and didn’t know how much time had passed.
“Pah!”
Gao Chuanshuo, who was sweating profusely, appeared behind her at some point and tapped her head lightly with his hand knife.
“Kawasaki Saki, what are you daydreaming about!”
“The next class is Teacher Jing’s. It’s time to go back to the classroom.”
After saying that, Gao Chuanshuo noticed the water in her hand and took it.
“Oh, are you bringing me some water? Thank you. I’ll go change my clothes first!”
That’s not bought for you!
Saki Kawasaki was speechless for a while.
Then she secretly stole a glance at the court still holding the water.
Yuigahama looked a little lost.
Kawasaki Saki smiled, her tone was very relaxed, “Hina, you go find them, I’ll go back first, the next class is Teacher Jing’s class, I can’t be late!”
Next to the basketball court.
Yuigahama Yui held the water bottle in both hands and looked at Takagawa Saku’s back for a long time.
“Yui, what are you still doing there, go back!”
Miura Yumiko frowned and gave the order.
Yuigahama came back to her senses and put on a sweet smile, “Okay, Yumiko, I’ll come right away!”
Gaochuan Shuo was on his way to the locker room when someone surrounded him.
He is a boy from Class J, and also his teammate just now. Class F and International Class J happen to have the same physical education class.
So we would occasionally participate in sports activities together, and after a while we became relatively familiar with each other.
“No, Gaochuan-san, you refused even though such a pretty girl offered you water just now.”
“She looks very good. Let alone water, I would even drink oil if she gave me it…”
If you do this, you will be captured and taken to Gotham to fight Batman.
He was about to say something.
Suddenly——!
In front of the corridor.
A young girl came quietly, holding a portable paperback book.
She looked straight ahead, her gaze indifferently fixed on the paperback, but her steps did not shift in the slightest. It was a picturesque scene, as if she were a girl who would still exist even if the world ended.
Her appearance immediately attracted people nearby.
Everyone fell silent, and the people in front of her made way for her.
The Ice Queen of Sobu High School, Yukinoshita Yukino from the second year class J.
“Bullmaster Yukinoshita.”
Gaochuan Shuo suddenly remembered something and shouted to Yukino.
Yukino paused slightly.
She turned her head and glanced at Gao Chuanshuo, and said in a faint voice, “Well, come to the activity room to find me at noon.”
Chapter 25: Abandonment Crisis! (Old Version)
It’s clearly time to end get out of class.
However, the atmosphere in Class F was extremely depressing, and the center of the low pressure was Hikigaya Hachiman!
Teacher Jing stared at Hikigaya Hachiman coldly!
Meanwhile, down below, Hikigaya was holding his composition book, feeling extremely guilty.
He glanced at Teacher Jing, who had a frosty face.
Suddenly I felt a chill down my spine!
I won’t be dragged to the office at noon to rewrite the composition in front of all the teachers, right?
Please, spare me!
“Takagawa, supervise Hikigaya to correct his version of the ‘Purple Sand Declaration’ and hand it in tomorrow.”
“Then on May 9th, which is next Tuesday, we will conduct the academic qualification test. Please be prepared. The key points I just highlighted for you in class are all the possible test points. Go back and review them!”
“get out of class dismissed—!”
Shizuka Hiratsuka walked out of the classroom with her high heels clacking on her feet.
The pressure on Class F suddenly dissipated.
Most of the students breathed a sigh of relief, especially Hikigaya, “Thank God, Takagawa, you are my god.”
Then the class started to get noisy.
Some talked about what to eat for lunch, some discussed how exciting the Dengeki Daily Magazine would be the next day, and some discussed that the key points that Teacher Jing had just highlighted had already covered the entire book…
Facing Gao Chuanshuo, who holds the power over his life and death.
“Gao Chuan, what do you want to eat? I’ll treat you at noon!”
Gao Chuanshuo thought about it and said, “One toasted bread and one red bean bread!”
Hikigaya: “?”
“Don’t worry about whether I eat or not. I’ll give you an outline for the composition, and you just need to write according to the outline.”
“make a deal!”
Gao Chuanshuo took the red bean bread and walked towards the special teaching building.
I found that many people on the road were telling “Four Lies”.
As expected!
After the second episode came out.
The popularity of “Four Lies” at Sobu High School has reached a new level!
If yesterday everyone was discussing more about “The Ring”, today it seems that the topic has already overtaken others.
I just don’t know what the results of the vote will be this afternoon.
It should be able to get a little closer to the number one “Fairy Ring”!
With many thoughts in mind, Gao Chuanshuo pushed open the door of the service club’s activity classroom.
I found Yukinoshita reading a book on the windowsill.
In the spring breeze, Yukinoshita Yukino’s soft hair fluttered in the air.
I felt someone push the door open.
She glanced at him lightly and said casually: “I have asked you to knock before coming in.”
“Next month for sure!” Gao Chuanshuo looked serious.
The girl said nothing more and continued reading.
“You didn’t have lunch, did you?”
Takagawa Saku put the red bean bread on Yukinoshita Yukino’s table and sat down opposite her.
Yukino didn’t say anything, but just looked at Gaochuan Shuo coldly.
“Okay, okay, I got it!”
Gao Chuanshuo quickly tore open the bread packaging and handed it to the other person’s mouth.
The girl seemed to be accustomed to it. She took a bite of the red bean bread and started eating while reading a book.
On the way, the girl gave Gao Chuanshuo another cold look.
Gao Chuanshuo had no choice but to pour her another cup of black tea.
“Hey Minister, there’s a reason why your shoes have been hidden over sixty times.”
“Oh? Takagawa-san, who cheats the student union club activities every month, is really sorry that he is not bullied in school?”
When it comes to sharp tongue, she is definitely no match for Yukinoshita Yukino!
But he also has to work hard to clarify the other party’s misunderstanding of him.
“Minister, I don’t think I’m lying. I’m really working hard to maintain our society with that money.”
“What do you mean?” The girl suddenly became more serious.
“After all, if I starve to death, our club will be disbanded, right?”
Gao Chuanshuo looked serious.
Xue No: “…”
Finished eating red bean bread.
She took a sip of black tea and then wiped her lips with a tissue.
Then he took out a cute cat cartoon wallet from the pocket of his school uniform, took out 10,280 yen and placed it on the table.
One 10,000 yen note, and the rest are coins, two 100 yen coins, one 50 yen coins, and three 10 yen coins.
Gao Chuanshuo was stunned when he saw the money, with a puzzled look on his face:
“I understand that 280 is the price of bread, but you said before that I manage 3,000 yen of club funds every month, but what does it mean that you are giving me 10,000 yen now?”
The student union only gives the club a total of 6,000 yen in monthly maintenance funds.
“For the remaining money, how about you come to the activity room once a week as a club member?” Yukinoshita Yukino didn’t even look at Takagawa Saku and continued to look at the paperback in her hand.
Gao Chuanshuo didn’t take the money, but just looked at the girl silently.
Feeling Gaochuan’s gaze.
Yukinoshita Yukino raised her head seriously. For the first time today, she looked at Takagawa Saku in a non-commanding manner.
“As the head of the club, if a member starves to death, I will be troubled by the consequences.”
Gao Chuanshuo was suddenly a little touched.
He thought seriously for a moment.
He still chose to refuse and returned the 10,000 yuan. “Anyway, thank you for your concern, Minister, but it’s no use.”
Looking at the ten thousand yen on the table.
The girl was slightly stunned, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and then her expression gradually became indifferent.
This moment was extremely poignant for her.
Perhaps from the very beginning, everything was just her wishful thinking.
The girl closed the paperback novel in her hand and did not take the ten thousand yen. “Takakawa, I’m sorry, I really don’t have the interest to play the game of defrauding club funds with you anymore… I was wrong, people can’t be changed… I will apply to be dismissed from the club next…”
Chapter 26: I just want to cling to my big brother, please help me! (Old version)
After saying that, the girl stood up and was about to leave!
Memories of the past flooded into my mind –
When she entered high school, she suffered various degrees of bullying due to jealousy.
Although because of her identity, the most she could do was to steal and hide shoes, which was not too extreme.
I can’t understand anyone else and I can’t make any friends.
Therefore, she hopes to change people’s views of her through the ministry, and at the same time, she hopes to change others by helping others, and change this world where people are jealous of others if they are not as good as them.
But after creating the ministry.
For a long time, no one could understand her ideas, and no one was willing to join this club with a strange name.
The school’s deadline for dismissal is getting closer and closer…
She seemed not to care and still ran between the classroom and the activity room every day, and even set up a stall to recruit new students.
But to no avail.
This made her feel extremely lost.
It continued until the day the department was abolished.
She remembered that rainy day when she waited for a long time. It was as if someone had opened the door to heaven. The soaked young man pushed open the door of the service department.
The young man who walked in glanced around with a gaze as sharp as a knife.
After seeing yourself!
He quickly took out an application form from his schoolbag and handed it over.
“I can join the club. I’ll be a member of your club.”
Above the name were written the three characters ‘Gao Chuan Shuo’ in strong and powerful handwriting.
He only has one request!
Every month, the general funds that the Student Union gives to the Service Department are given to him for safekeeping, and this month’s advance payment must also be given to him.
“I will pay it back, I will definitely pay it back!”
Almost burned by Gao Chuanshuo’s firm and persistent gaze, she was stunned for a moment and agreed in a low voice.
“good.”
At that moment, the fake smile on her face turned into a real smile.
But now, everything has disappeared like floating light!
She felt extremely sad, perhaps she was really wrong.
People really can’t change.
Gaochuan never cared about her as the club leader, nor did he care about the life and death of the club. She and the service club were just his tools.
See what the other person looks like!
Gao Chuanshuo understood that the smart and cute head on the other side was probably thinking in the wrong way.
“Wait a moment.”
Gao Chuanshuo immediately explained:
“When I said no, I meant that I don’t need any additional funds. I didn’t promise you not to come!”
Yukinoshita Yukino stopped and her eyes twitched.
Gao Chuanshuo continued:
“I’m sorry, but due to my own reasons, I may not have paid much attention to your club activities.”
“But I’ve always wanted to do it, but I’ve always tried to get as close as possible to the result you desire!”
“You told me this when I joined the club.”
“Maybe someone like me who is self-contained and goal-oriented can help others, or maybe not. But if the Ministry can’t change me, then it can’t change others!”
An almost invisible blush appeared on Yukinoshita Yukino’s pretty face:
“Did I say that? Even if I did, it just sounds like a slogan and doesn’t have any real meaning!”
“It changed me!” Gao Chuanshuo looked determined.
“Last semester alone, your indoor shoes were hidden seven times, stolen twice, your locker was thrown into the trash twice, and your test papers were maliciously damaged countless times!”
“For this, I warned and talked to the girl who hid her shoes four times, fought with the boy who stole your shoes once, and reported and fired the teacher who stole your indoor shoes once!”
Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned, and he turned to look at Takagawa Saku.
As an international class, Class J did not reorganize in the new school year, but after the second year of high school, those minor bullying incidents did not happen again!
“I didn’t have much experience to help others before, and I only cared about the people I cared about, but you really made me change a little. Congratulations, you succeeded!”
Gao Chuanshuo put a small stack of banknotes in her hand. Except for the ten thousand yen note just now, most of them were one thousand yen.
“I’ve seen your student union’s fund usage report. You’ve always used your own money to give me. Sorry, I can pay you back now!”
Xue No was slightly stunned:
“…You can pay me back when you are well off.”
She knew that Gao Chuanshuo’s family conditions were not very good.
“Don’t worry, it’s ready now.”
Gao Chuanshuo waved goodbye.
Should I say it or not?
After paying back 28,000 yen to Yukinoshita Yukino, he now has 250,000 yen left.
Yukino counted.
It’s not that he doubted Gao Chuanshuo, but that she always maintained a rigorous attitude towards everything.
Then he called out to Gao Chuanshuo suspiciously:
“Hmm, it should be 31,000 yen, Takakawa, why is there 3,000 yen missing? Did you count wrong?”
Gao Chuanshuo shook three thousand yen bills and turned back and smiled.
“I told you that I will manage 50% of the club’s funds every month. I promise to use it to do things that are meaningful to the club…”
No one said that buying a few copies of “Four Lies” to help the minister enrich his emotional experience is not a meaningful thing.
He immediately labeled Yukinoshita Yukino as a rich woman.
Everyone else contributes 50 yen to him!
If the 3,000 yen is used to buy his works, four copies can be purchased, and the rich woman Yukinoshita can contribute 200 yen to him every month.
Why don’t you want 200 yen instead of 3,000 yen?
Please, depression value has a much higher priority than money!
The achievement tasks will definitely become more and more difficult to complete.
Especially as the fame of Ikaros’s small account grows, there will definitely be more and more commissions for works, and if there is not enough depression points to exchange for works.
That definitely won’t work.
He also wanted to wait until his depression value was high enough to draw a diamond-level gift package.
He has seen the contents of the diamond gift package.
If you are lucky, you can even draw bugs such as super powers like longevity, mind reading, and teleportation.
Although it is an everyday world, it is obvious that this kind of thing has a great appeal to him.
Just finished school this afternoon!
Gao Chuanshuo received a call from Fujii Yuna:
“Teacher Ikaros, although ‘Four Lies’ is in second place, after the second chapter was released in the daily magazine today, the voting statistics have increased more than ‘Fairy Rings’. If it can maintain this until Friday, it may have a chance to overtake it!”
“‘Four Lies’ came in second place?”
Gao Chuanshuo was a little happy when he heard this.
Although he does not necessarily require to reach the first place, based on past experience, the sales volume of single books is also highly positively correlated with the ranking on the Newcomer List.
The higher the sales volume.
The higher the possibility of depression, the higher the ranking, the better.
Fujii Yuna was speechless.
Although she was just a humble editor, she could not help but want to pull Mr. Ikaros’s ears and tell him:
“Please, as an author and contributor, can you please pay attention to your own data? It looks like the work was not written by you…”
But it’s just thought.
If Gao Chuan Shuo really appeared in front of her, she would definitely not dare to do so. She would probably just kneel down and try to cling to his thighs, begging the big guy to lead her!
Chapter 27: “Four Lies” overtakes and takes the first place! (Old version)
In the next few days.
The growth rate of “Four Lies” has been in a state of rapid growth.
It’s Wednesday.
The number of votes is actually very close to the first place “The Fairy Ring”!
First place: “Fairy Ring”!
Number of votes: 5987.
Second place: Your Lie in April!
Number of votes: 5670!
Moreover, starting from the past two days, many book reviewers on the Internet have been promoting “Four Lies”.
At this time, ‘one side of the moon’.
This is the company registered by Yamada Fairy and Yamada Chris for the purpose of animation.
After a few days of busy work to animate the work.
Several responsible persons gathered in the “Crystal Palace”, which was the name given by Yamada Fairy to his company’s address.
The author, Yamada Fairy, was running around the office anxiously with a tablet computer in her hand.
Before!
As the new editor-in-chief, Suzuki felt a sense of crisis and hoped that Fairy Yamada could intensify the promotion of the new work “Fairy Rings”.
But the animation of her own old works is at a critical juncture.
There is no time to pay too much attention to the new work.
So he ignored the opinion of Editor-in-Chief Suzuki.
But she does occasionally check the charts.
Previously, “Four Lies” surpassed “The Sword of Reincarnation”, and she also noticed it.
But she was the first one at that time!
The ticket price gap is still quite large and it is definitely not something that can be caught up in a short period of time.
She naturally thought about it.
Let’s first deal with the animation issue.
But take a look today!
Suddenly something was wrong!
The votes for “Four Lies” are rising crazily every moment!
Now and her works!
It seems that the difference is only a few hundred votes.
Even the always confident Yamada fairy!
I couldn’t help but panic, “Why is the vote count for “Four Lies” rising so fast?!”
“Chris, Elmi, what should I do!”
The Chris that the fairy Yamada mentioned was the tall blond man next to her who looked somewhat similar to the Elf King.
He is none other than Yamada Elf’s brother, Yamada Ksuri, and he is also the editor-in-chief of the upcoming animated work “Dark Elf of Explosion”.
Elmi is a red-haired girl with droopy eyes. She seems to be slightly taller than Yamada Fairy, and her appearance is as cute as Yamada Fairy.
She is the illustrator that Yamada Fairy had previously collaborated with.
She is also the childhood sweetheart of Yamada Fairy.
Chris Yamada meets his sister who is always confident and proud of light novels.
The king became so anxious that he became curious.
He also used his work computer to open the Dengeki Newcomers List of Dengeki Bunko.
After seeing the detailed data, I was a little surprised.
“Emily, this ‘Four Lies’ is indeed quite powerful. If you want Eromanga-sensei to cooperate with you, you probably can’t just sit there and wait for it to happen.”
According to his estimation, at this speed and efficiency, “Four Lies” will probably surpass “The Fairy Ring” soon.
The Yamada Fairy gritted his teeth and said:
“Damn you Mr. Ikaros, I can’t take it anymore, Chris. I’m going to start a live broadcast to call on my servants. With my influence as an animation writer, I can definitely close the gap again!”
Chris Yamada frowned, the animation of the old work is currently facing difficulties.
Her sister’s time shouldn’t be spent on these things, but it was her wish to work with Eromanga-sensei.
He couldn’t refuse.
“Then don’t worry about your animation group’s science fiction animation script writing competition. I’ll go find the writers under me and see if there’s anyone who can write it for you.”
“You should focus on your new work now.”
But Ai Ermi, who was under the least pressure, was playing mobile games heartlessly while attacking:
“I don’t understand why you were doing well in Kyōkyō Bunko, but you chose to go to Dengeki Bunko. Now you can’t even take care of your old and new works.”
The Yamada fairy was also a little angry, and pouted:
“Elmi, Eromanga-sensei is the goddess of eroticism. Her works are the pinnacle of light novel illustrations. I must cooperate with her!”
“I’m going to start the live broadcast right now and call on my servants to vote for me. I will definitely defeat that teacher Ikaros to show you!”
Yamada Fairy immediately posted a live broadcast announcement on X.
Half an hour later, with the cooperation of Bunko, Yamada Fairy started the live broadcast.
In order to expand the number of non-fans as much as possible!
She even spent a lot of money on the event.
But it was hasty.
But because of the event, the number of participants was quite considerable.
There are not only fans, but also many passers-by!
This also gave Yamada Fairy a lot of confidence!
Because the second place “Four Lies” is very close.
After greeting the audience, she couldn’t wait to start the promotion mode:
“Have you read the first part of my new work, the Fairy Ring series? It’s the first part serialized in Dengeki Novel Daily, and it’s currently ranked first on the newcomer list!”
“Those who have purchased the daily magazine can use their purchase receipts to vote for the serialized works. If the servants feel that my works are good, don’t forget to vote for my works!”
“Those who vote for me can draw gifts in the live broadcast room with their voting receipts. Not only will there be the latest digital products, but also my entire series of signed works of the upcoming animation “Exploding Dark Fairy”…”
“support!”
“Must support!”
“Today has been voted in. Come on, Fairy Lady. Your servants will always be your strong support!”
Looking at the barrage of comments appearing in front of me.
Backstage assistant!
Voting receipts are also being received continuously.
Everything is getting better and better.
Suddenly, Yamada Fairy’s smile gradually blossomed.
In this way.
As long as I can maintain the first place, there shouldn’t be any problem in defeating Eromanga-sensei!
No, you must never become complacent.
That teacher Ikaros was able to catch up with her from being in third place, almost twice as far behind her.
It’s definitely not easy, we must not let our guard down!
Yamada Fairy continues to hold a steady hand.
In the past, she would often slack off and play games during live broadcast promotions.
But today she didn’t play the game for a single second. Apart from interacting with her servants, she focused her main energy on promoting her new work.
Just when I was feeling dry mouth and about to end the broadcast.
She suddenly saw a fan comment!
“The Fairy Ring was surpassed by The Four Lies on the Newcomer List!”
I saw that the person who made the comment didn’t have a fan card.
Tie Xiaoheizi, your chicken feet are showing!
Yamada Fairy typed quickly on the keyboard:
“Where did this little black man come from? He wants to mess with my mentality. It’s impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“Housekeeper, silence him immediately!”
The assistant is also very sensible!
Soon, I accidentally muted this little black guy for half an hour!
The Yamada Fairy breathed a sigh of relief.
But I didn’t expect it!
After more than ten seconds, new comments popped up!
And this time’s speech!
It’s just different in shape!
There are so many of them that it may be impossible to ban them all!
“Yamada Fairy Sensei has been blown up!”
“Teacher Fairy, you really failed miserably as an animation writer in the Rookie Award!”
“Are you surprised or surprised?”
“The new electric shock king is about to be replaced!”
“Wow, goblin teacher, you really are second!”
“Oh no, Teacher Fairy, you cut the wrong person. ‘Four Lies’ has really topped the Newcomer List!”
“Teacher Ikaros’s ‘Four Lies’ really became number one!”
Chapter 28: Sorry, I’m really not a money-grubber! (Old version)
The Yamada fairy looked at him with her beautiful eyes, which were full of disbelief.
It turns out that the 40-meter-long sword just now really hit the wrong person.
Ai Ermi has also been watching the live broadcast and also paying attention to the data of Dengeki Bunko’s Newcomer List.
During Yamada Fairy’s live broadcast.
The data of “Fairy Ring” has indeed skyrocketed.
But I don’t know why!
“Four Lies” rose even faster.
Just when the live broadcast was about to end, it actually surpassed “Fairy Rings”.
She looked at the Yamada Fairy with red eyes, standing in front of the camera.
My brother Chris is not here because he is busy with the event, and if the fairy continues the live broadcast, it might cause a live broadcast accident.
Tomorrow’s headline might become!
Teacher Yamada Yaojing was tortured to tears by teacher Ikaros during the live broadcast.
She also often broadcasts her paintings online, so she has some basic skills. She rushed to the camera and smiled:
“Thank you all for tonight. Fairy’s live broadcast is about to end. Welcome to watch it next time!”
Then he quickly closed the live broadcast!
I finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Then she looked at Yamada Fairy. She took out the tablet she usually used to play games on and looked at the latest data on the official website:
First place: “Four Lies”.
Number of votes: 8345.
Second place: “Another World Fairy Ring”.
Number of votes: 7982.
Yamada Fairy cried as she watched.
It was indeed surpassed.
I really failed in the Newcomer Award!
And if nothing unexpected happens.
I also lost the painter I most wanted to work with to someone else!
This is a huge blow to Yamada Fairy!
She specifically quit Jixiang Bunko, had a quarrel with her childhood sweetheart and co-painter, and then had to entrust the animation of her beloved work to her brother.
The result comes in the most crucial battle, the one that is closest to achieving your goal!
Lost!
The Yamada fairy sobbed!
She handed Elmi a bag of snacks and said, “Elmi, do you think I can win it back later?”
Elmi took the snack and opened her mouth.
Although she was arguing with Yamada Fairy, she still couldn’t help feeling a little distressed when she saw Yamada Fairy like this.
She originally wanted to comfort her, but to be honest, she had paid attention to the specific contents of these two books.
The recent feedback on the plot of “Four Lies” is indeed very strong.
Especially since the male protagonist is about to perform a duet with the female protagonist later on, many readers are eagerly looking forward to it.
And from the current perspective.
“The Fairy Ring” is inferior to “The Four Lies” both in terms of content and fan feedback.
Elmi patted Yamada Fairy’s shoulder:
“After all, you still have to work on the animation. And trust Elmi, Elmi will definitely draw better than Eromanga-sensei!”
Yamada Fairy: “…”
“I don’t believe it. Is teacher Ikaros really that powerful?” Fairy Yamada raised her eyebrows. She snatched the snacks from Elmi’s hand, turned around and ran away.
But this time, you really can’t win…Elmi stretched out her hand to chase.
But I still didn’t catch up.
She knew that Yamada Fairy wouldn’t do anything stupid.
Although she is a little arrogant when it comes to light novels, she keeps shouting that she is the future of light novels and the light novels themselves!
But when I really meet someone who is better than me, I still admit defeat.
For example, when facing the Senju Village Conquest…
Therefore, once she sees “Four Lies” in person, she will probably admit defeat.
Many people also received the news that “Four Lies” topped the newcomer list, and for a while, there was a lot of discussion about it.
“Really surpassed Yamada Fairy Sensei?”
“That’s too cruel!”
“Is there going to be another newcomer like Senjumura Masaru in the Dian○Bunko?”
“Is the sales disaster that happened to other libraries two years ago going to happen again?”
And inside the electronic library.
In the Kagurazaka editing team.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the unknown editor who was very good at making coffee.
Faced with the envy and praise from other editors, Fujii Yuna’s silly smile was quite humble.
She had never felt this way before.
Originally she was a nobody, clinging to Teacher Ikaros, but now she has become the focus of everyone’s attention in the editorial team.
On the fourth day of magazine serialization!
Over 8,000 votes!
He surpassed the animation writer Yamada Yaoi to take the first place. If nothing unexpected happens, he has already secured the title of this year’s Rookie of the Year.
Since the expedition to Qianshou Village!
No newcomer has ever achieved such outstanding results.
In the light novel world, there are few new authors who can achieve such results.
It’s really too little.
“hiss……”
“Yuuna, you are really going to become the second editor-in-chief of Kagurazaka now!”
“You are so lucky! Why can’t I sign such an amazing seedling?”
Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka shook his head and scolded with a smile:
“Humph, if you work harder, read a few more manuscripts, and communicate more with new talents with potential, maybe you can also discover such a talent.”
At this time, someone became curious.
“I see. Did Mr. Ikaros and Mr. Senjumura Masaru both revise their manuscripts many times?”
Kagurazaka blinked and smiled:
“No, they all passed on the first draft.”
Editors: “…”
Yuuna Fujii contacted Saku Takagawa as soon as possible.
“Congratulations, you have successfully won the first place on the Newcomer List!”
“Thank you Ms. Fujii, I already know that.”
Because Mizuki told him so after he finished taking a shower just now.
After winning the first place in Four Lies, he is likely to win the Electric Rookie of the Year award this year.
Many people in their school admired him and wanted his autograph.
Especially a girl named Chie Takasago.
Then Mizuki thought about it, wondering if she should take a small book and ask him to sign it.
Then I planned to take it to school and sell it for money.
Gao Chuanshuo was stunned. He didn’t know what was going on in his sister’s mind.
Other people of this age are just thinking about getting autographs.
She was thinking about selling autographs.
Only Mizuki looked excited:
“Brother, this sounds feasible. We can split the profits 70% to 30% after the sales!”
Gao Chuanshuo was curious: “30% of me?”
Shui Xi looked at Gao Chuan Shuo speechlessly, “Brother, of course you are 70%!”
It turns out that I am 70%!
It seems that Mizuki is quite business-minded, Gao Chuan Shuo secretly gave her a thumbs up.
I couldn’t help but feel moved.
But finally, thought about it.
Gao Chuanshuo still refused!
First, he is not a person who likes fame.
If Yuiga Mizuki really signed wholesale, anyone with a little common sense could guess his identity.
Second, he is indeed not the author. Just like Ikaros in his pen name, being too proud will surely get burned by the scorching sun.
Secretly making money and accumulating depression points, and secretly enjoying happiness is the right way!
The third and most important point.
His autograph can’t be sold at a very high price now!
You’ll lose money if you sell it!
You should wait until you become a famous writer before selling it, then the price will be higher!
And not easy to expose.
——”Mizuki, you have to remember that your brother is 70%.”
“I know, you are such a money-loving brother!”
Chapter 29: Shopping Mall and Holidays! (Old Version)
Friday, which is the fifth day of May.
This day is the day when the new talent list is finalized.
It is also Children’s Day in Japan.
But the ranking is no longer a foregone conclusion.
Online, discussions about the list gradually stopped.
However, Gao Chuan Shuo didn’t care, after winning the Rookie of the Year award.
I have to go to the library again tomorrow!
He sighed!
Although the starting price of the train is enough to get there, it still costs 140 yen.
I have to sell three copies of “Four Lies” to make back the money. No, I have to ask Ms. Fujii to find a way to reimburse me!!!
But it seems that the appointment with Kasumi Shiko is tomorrow.
In the living room.
Gao Chuanshuo is making carp streamers with his little sister, Little Pudding.
They decided not to set up the stall today and take their little sister out to play.
“Ah! Big pot, this is delicious!”
Only four years old, tiny Ye Yue looked at him eagerly.
Gao Chuanshuo rubbed her head and said, “Ye Yue, you can’t eat this. Go find your sister Mizuki. She is making Kashiwa cakes.”
Kashiwa cake is a traditional food on Children’s Day in Japan, and children usually eat Kashiwa cake on this day.
“After we finish eating the cypress cake, let’s go play.”
“Okay, okay!” Little Pudding opened his hands and ran to the kitchen happily.
Takagawa Saku hung a carp streamer on the eaves outside.
Exactly four!
Different colors represent different people, namely Aunt Huazhi, him, Mizuki, Yeyue…
What a coincidence!
Next door, Saki Kawasaki was also hanging carp flags with her younger sister Kawasaki Kyoka.
“Kawasaki Saki, there’s a new Marui Department Store opening in Roppongi, and everything is 30% off. Mizuki and I are going to go shopping later. Do you want to bring Jinghua along?”
30% off, enough to buy a lot of daily necessities!
Saki Kawasaki was obviously moved.
But after hesitating for a while, he refused, “No, no, I still have to review!”
review?
Gao Chuanshuo remembered.
Her math grades are very poor, and seem to have become a thorn in the heart of her life guidance teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka.
So he pulled Saki Kawasaki into the office and gave her a lecture.
Next week’s academic ability test can no longer be used as a weight. One person has lowered the class average by two points.
Gao Chuanshuo pondered:
“Go buy some math materials. I’ll teach you later. High school math isn’t difficult. I have the skills.”
He tells the truth.
Although the deviation value of Sobu High School is very high.
However, Japan’s education system provides basic education in the first and second years of high school, which only accounts for 30% of the college entrance examination content, and the remaining 70% needs to be learned in special cram schools.
In other words, Chinese high school seniors are already reviewing.
They are still struggling to learn new knowledge.
Also because of time constraints!
This is why there is the term “four when five fail”, which means if you get up at four o’clock every day you will pass the exam, but if you get up at five o’clock you will fail.
Saki Kawasaki was a little moved.
“Sister, I want to play with Ye Yue.” Kawasaki Kyoka shook his sister’s hand.
“All right.”
Roppongi, Marui Department Store!
Off the coast of Tokyo.
It’s not easy to get hot, but you still need to wear a coat in early May.
Saki Kawasaki also changed into a light pink sports sweatshirt. She has a tall figure, and she looks very pretty and outstanding when paired with jeans.
She walked beside Jinghua and Mizuki, and they talked and laughed.
Gao Chuanshuo walked behind and watched them.
Although my younger sister Mizuki is also tall, compared with Kawasaki Saki, she exudes the youthfulness and grace of a girl, just like the first buds in spring.
She also held the little pudding Ye Yue’s hand.
From a distance, the four of them looked like an eye-catching landscape.
“What are you doing hiding in the back? Come here quickly, we are almost there!”
Saki Kawasaki turned around, glared at Saku Takagawa, and waved.
“No, I’m worried that others will misunderstand me if I get too close to you.”
Saki Kawasaki rolled her eyes.
“It’s just a misunderstanding. I don’t plan on having a boyfriend in high school anyway.”
“But I want to talk. Hikigaya said he was going to introduce his sister to me.”
“It’s better to believe that I’m the emperor than to believe that that sister-con will introduce you to a sister.” Saki Kawasaki grabbed Takagawa Saku’s wrist, looking speechless.
Along the way.
Occasionally, I hear the names of The Four Lies and Ikaros.
Saki Kawasaki naturally knew that it was the work and pen name of Saku Takagawa.
“Takagawa Shuo, are you going to be famous? I seem to hear people discussing your work all the time.”
She doesn’t really know much about light novels.
Gao Chuanshuo did not hide anything either.
He repeated to Saki Kawasaki what Ms. Fujii had told him, basically just briefly talking about everything from the grand prize, to the competition for the newcomer list in the past few days, and the upcoming election as the Rookie of the Year.
After hearing this, Saki Kawasaki felt a little disappointed and said with her red lips pouting.
“You are so powerful now…”
Gao Chuanshuo: “It’s okay, he’s just a newcomer, who knows what will happen in the future.”
Saki Kawasaki: “You will definitely be great. You have been like this since you were young. Everything you do shines.”
The first floor is the cosmetics area.
Cosmetics are also 30% off.
The two girls were curiously looking at each cosmetic, and trying to see which sample smelled the best.
“I think this orange-flavored lotion tastes good.”
“It’s good.”
Gaochuan Shuo was behind, holding two little fat girls, Kawasaki Kyoka and Yuiga Hazuki, on his left and right.
“If you like it, take it. Don’t worry, I’ll pay for it.”
Only Mizuki smiled.
“Brother, no need. Shaxi and I are just looking at it. We don’t usually wear makeup.”
The two of them have always been the same, a habit they developed when their family was poor, which was to mend whatever was broken.
Whenever I buy something for them, they resist.
I’m worried that it will cost too much.
If the family members worry about not being able to support them, they will be thrown into the park and abandoned…
“Mizu, you pick one. Pick one for your sister Shaxi as well. Just consider it as a gift to repay you for reading my manuscript. You know, I usually like to owe others. If you don’t pick one, I will only give you a more expensive one!”
Sure enough, it sounds like it will be even more expensive.
Saki Kawasaki became anxious and could not stand Takagawa Saku’s insistence, so she had to pick two cheaper models.
Gao Chuanshuo thought.
Sure enough, Xun Ge’er’s theory of removing the roof is still useful…
After this.
They then walked around the other floors together.
Mizuki bought a set of the latest edition of girls’ comics, and Saki Kawasaki bought a lot of food that can be stored for a long time.
The little kid is a little lazy, and when he gets tired of walking, he always wants him to hold him.
He won’t listen to any advice.
So, in order to take revenge on Xiaodouding, thinking that her birthday was approaching, Gao Chuanshuo bought him a set of fun math problems for kindergarten.
Just consider it as a birthday present.
Life was difficult before, and I hadn’t gone out to shop like this for a long time.
It’s fun, but it’s really tiring!
After finally arriving at the entrance of McDonald’s, Gao Chuanshuo wanted to take a break.
The little kid, who is always greedy, pointed at the McDonald’s ice cream cone advertisement and said with his eyes shining.
“Sister Mizuki, I want to eat ice cream!”
Jinghua also spoke up: “Sister, I want to eat too!”
Gao Chuanshuo thought it would be a good opportunity to improve their food.
I’m really worried that they will become thin due to hunger!
It’s strange though.
It’s hard to imagine that Liang Xi, who rarely eats meat, has such a plump figure.
I guess this is talent. If you have good talent, it doesn’t matter if the environment is bad.
“Come together, you guys find a seat, I’ll go to the front desk to take the order…”
Chapter 30: Formal signing and unexpected incidents! (Old version)
hateful!
Gao Chuanshuo came to the front desk and found that McLaren did not participate in the mall’s discount.
But it’s not that there is no activity.
After placing the order and paying.
Based on today’s shopping mall consumption records, if you spend 10,000 yen, you can draw a draw for a discount or a small gift.
Enjoy a maximum of one free order!
Gaochuan Shuo did a full calculation and found that he had spent a total of 30,000 yen today, which means he could draw three times.
Look at the person in front!
The winning rate is very high, and you can basically win the discount.
It’s just the difference in the amount of the discount.
Gao Chuanshuo said nothing.
“Hello, take a shot first!”
result:
Thank you for your patronage.
?
No, man…
Am I being played?
I didn’t see anyone winning the prize before. Thank you for your patronage!
Accident! It must be an accident!
Gao Chuanshuo was a little bit skeptical.
“Hello, I’ll draw again!”
Thank you for your patronage!
Gao Chuanshuo was stunned for a moment when he saw the result of the lottery!
Good, good, good!
There is one last chance!
After thinking about it, Gao Chuanshuo decided to give Mizuki the last chance.
Mizuki was a little confused at first.
But when I heard that I could participate in a lottery, I immediately became interested!
I saw my sister was about to draw the lottery!
Gao Chuanshuo subconsciously stepped back, now more than two meters away from Shui Xi.
Draw Results:
This time it’s free.
When Gao Chuanshuo saw this, he was stunned at first, then he became happy.
Sure enough, my sister is a European emperor!
It actually helped him save 5,000 yen in one go.
Thanks for looking back at the first two pictures!
I suddenly felt disdain!
If he had won even a 200-20 discount, he would not have sent out his sister!
That’s good. It’s free!
Gao Chuanshuo felt very happy…
After a hearty meal.
They went shopping in the mall again in the afternoon. Since the two older sisters were unwilling, Gao Chuanshuo bought a set of clothes for the two little ones.
However, when I was buying math materials for Xiao Douding in the bookstore in the mall.
Gao Chuanshuo found a poster for a short story writing contest.
There are corresponding leaflets on the table in front.
The organizer is a magazine called “LALA” under Bai○she.
Gao Chuanshuo had heard of this magazine. Fantasy and reality themes each accounted for half of the magazine, and it mainly featured warm and delicate love stories.
He quickly looked at the prize money.
All finalists will receive 1 million yen as a reward.
However, the rules seem to be different from those of general essay competitions. The final format of this competition seems to be to serialize anonymously on the Internet, and then readers vote to select the top three.
If you can get into the top three.
In addition to the basic final bonus!
There will also be additional bonuses available.
The grand prize is 5 million yen, the gold prize is 2 million yen, and the silver prize is 1 million yen!
Gao Chuanshuo was somewhat moved.
Even if you only win the gold medal, the total of the two items will be 3 million yen.
It’s higher than the newcomer award of Dian○Bunko.
As for major short and medium-length works, he just happened to have one in stock, which was “The Firefly Forest” which he had never found an opportunity to publish.
It also seems to be suitable for the style of the essay.
Although it is not a sure thing to get the top three money.
But Takagawa Saku feels that with the quality of the story of “The Secret World of Fireflies”, there will be no problem in entering the finals.
Took a look.
The deadline for submission is the end of the month, and the selection process will officially begin at the beginning of next month.
There is still time!
Go back and study it further!
If it’s suitable, just vote for “The Firefly Forest”. Otherwise, it will just sit there anyway, so you might as well harvest some depression value as soon as possible!
Gao Chuanshuo secretly accepted a flyer.
The second day.
The Newcomer List has officially concluded, and this year’s Dengeki Bunko Rookie of the Year has been officially announced!
“Four Lies” topped the list with 21,751 votes, and the author Burning Ikaros also won the Rookie of the Year award at the Dengeki Bunko Awards this year.
Although due to the subject matter.
It is still a long way from the 30,000 votes myth created by Senjumura Zheng!
But no one will underestimate the achievement of “Four Lies”. After all, it was a real vote won from the animation writers.
In the morning, Gao Chuanshuo finished his breakfast.
After an appointment.
Ms. Fujii came in person to pick up Takagawa Saku and take him to the library!
“Ms. Fujii…”
Walking inside the company, I arrived at the editorial department.
Many staff members greeted Ms. Fujii along the way, and their attitudes seemed very enthusiastic.
Ninth floor, Kagurazaka editing team.
Many people also stopped what they were doing and looked at Gao Chuan Shuo, who was dressed as a high school student.
Suddenly, everyone was amazed.
If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.
I’m afraid no one would care about this high school-looking boy in front of them!
Connect with the now famous ‘Burning Ikaros’ on the Internet!
But they didn’t remain curious for long.
Even being a light novel writer is a profession that requires a lot of talent.
Been in this industry for a long time.
You can always see a lot of talented monsters.
After all, the girl who won the title of Thor writer at the age of sixteen was also an author from their editorial team.
The editor-in-chief, Kagurazaka Ayame, actually came out in person to greet Takagawa Saku.
“Teacher Ikaros, welcome, welcome, congratulations on winning this year’s Rookie of the Year title. You are also the second Rookie of the Year in our group.” With a considerate smile on her face, she walked towards Gao Chuanshuo enthusiastically and stretched out her hand.
“Let’s talk about the publishing plan for the single volume inside.”
“Thank you.” Gao Chuanshuo shook hands with him.
If I’m not mistaken.
The first one should be Senjumura Masaru.
At the age of 14, he made his debut with the award-winning “Fantasy Demon Sword Legend”. He received 30,000 votes on the Newcomer List. No one has broken it to this day.
Two years later!
At the age of sixteen, he became one of the Eight Thunder Gods in Dengeki Bunko.
Unlike the plagiarist, this is a real gifted freak.
Gao Chuanshuo suddenly became a little curious about his “senior in the workplace”.
Then, Ms. Fujii took Takagawa Saku to sign several contracts.
Different from the previous serialization contract.
There are many clauses in contracts today.
Including royalty base, share of subsequent copyright development, and the company’s priority right to use copyright, etc.
Gao Chuanshuo only picked out the key points, because Dianbo Library is also the leader in the industry.
The reputation has always been pretty good.
Gao Chuanshuo took about half an hour to sign the contract.
But at this moment.
Editor-in-chief Kagurazaka suddenly walked in from outside the door with a somewhat grim expression on his face.
“Everyone, put down what you are doing immediately!”
Fujii Yuuna was slightly stunned, and everyone else in the group stopped what they were doing, looking a little puzzled.
“What’s going on?”
“What happened? The boss seems a little unhappy.”
“Shh, listen to the boss first.”
See everyone is quiet!
Kagurazaka Ayame then spoke in a deep voice, “Look among the works you signed to see if there are any other science fiction romance works.”
Chapter 31: Ten million yen? I’ll take this commission! (Old version)
Several editors from the Kagurazaka Group were stunned upon hearing this.
“Boss, aren’t the ones we picked before acceptable?!”
“Those works all performed very well. Are the requirements for the works on the moon side too high?”
“This is already the second batch of works they have rejected!”
“With such high requirements and such a short deadline, do they want Senjumura Masaru to write it?”
“Impossible. Although they offer a lot of money, Senshou Mura Zheng basically doesn’t accept custom works. Besides, isn’t she in seclusion now?”
Next to Fujii Yuuna!
Gao Chuanshuo was a little curious.
Because he was not a member of the editorial team, he had no idea what everyone was discussing.
Fujii Yuuna saw it and immediately explained:
“That’s right!”
“That writer in question, her old work “The Exploding Dark Fairy” seems to have encountered problems during the animation process. The animation studio she wants to cooperate with requires her to provide another work before agreeing to cooperate with her company.”
“But the writer in question was not good at the subject matter proposed by the other party, and many of the works provided by the Extreme Library were also rejected by the famous supervisor!”
“So, they commissioned our library to provide this work at a high price, and finally the task fell on our team. However, among the works that our team had signed before, the ones that met the requirements were rejected as soon as they were submitted. We finally picked out another batch, but they were rejected again just now!”
A female editor nearby also interrupted:
“The key is! The two batches of works returned are both pretty good in our group, and the quality is definitely not low!”
Gao Chuanshuo immediately understood what had happened.
I heard the words ‘high-priced commission’.
He immediately thought of “Plastic Memories”.
However, he did not speak immediately. He did not know the other party’s specific requirements, nor did he know whether “Plastic Memory” met the requirements.
He didn’t think that there were necessarily many good works in the two batches of rejected works.
But if it doesn’t meet the requirements, no matter how good the work is, it will be useless.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Kagurazaka Ayame sighed softly:
“Don’t worry about the grades, as long as they meet the requirements, find them and give them a try.”
“Hurry up!”
We can only pray that the remaining works will really suit the director’s taste.
The recent performance of the Kagurazaka Group has not been very good, and the editor-in-chief finally assigned them a lucrative job of copyright adaptation.
The entire library was looking at them.
If it can’t be completed.
Maybe the higher-ups are really starting to doubt the ability of the Kagurazaka Group.
If only Xiaohua were here… Kagurazaka Ayame had a serious expression and a heavy heart.
In the corner.
Compared to other editors who are struggling, Fujii Yuuna has just achieved some success.
She is relatively less stressed.
But she also glanced at Teacher Ikaros who came to sign the contract.
I was thinking about whether I should let him try writing.
After all, the commission is very high.
But this thought only appeared for a moment and then she put it out of her mind.
It is said in the Introduction to Literature!
Good inspiration is the result of long-term accumulation and is obtained by chance!
Teacher Ikaros is indeed very talented.
Otherwise, I couldn’t have written “Four Lies”.
However, to create an outstanding work, one must have good inspiration and grasp this inspiration appropriately.
Only then can such wonderful works be written.
I’m afraid this is also the reason why Mr. Senjumura Masaru rarely accepts custom works unless it is extremely urgent.
Gao Chuanshuo asked in a low voice:
“Ms. Fujii, can you let me see the specific requirements of the commission?”
This is a trade secret.
But after thinking about it, Takagawa Saku is also a contracted author of their Kagurazaka Group.
Fujii Yuuna didn’t hide it either.
Therefore, Party A’s request was quickly handed over to Gao Chuanshuo.
Anyway, such an abstract requirement won’t reveal anything.
When their group first saw this requirement, many editors wailed at this vague request.
Gao Chuanshuo looked at the order list.
The requirements don’t seem like much:
1. Innovative science fiction themes.
2. The plot must be innovative, have emotional tension, be able to resonate with people, and have depth and enlightenment…
These false and empty qualities.
Actually, it’s not that difficult.
Many moderately qualified works can achieve this level.
But what is really difficult is to make the client feel that your work is qualified.
However, he feels that “Plastic Memories” still fits the above characteristics…
Why not give it a try?
But soon!
He scanned the following entrusted amount:
【10 million yen! 】
Gao Chuanshuo’s eyes suddenly widened!
10 million!!!
Gao Chuanshuo immediately looked at Ms. Fujii, “Ms. Fujii, how should the commission be divided?”
Fujii Yuna thought that Takagawa Saku just wanted to know more about the industry.
She hesitated for a moment and said:
“The commission is split 50-50, and the proceeds from subsequent copyright development are split 70-30 after deducting the agency operating costs.”
“Seventy percent of the company?”
Fujii Yuna was embarrassed, “Teacher Ikaros, you are kidding, of course the company takes 30%, and the agency cost is 70%, which is too unfair…”
Gao Chuanshuo has already given a thumbs up to Dian○Bunku.
Seventy percent is also called black?
I’m afraid I’ve seen people who don’t pay copyright fees…
In other words, although the commission is 30% less than if you operate it yourself, it is more convenient and labor-intensive, and you also get an extra commission!
And the commission is directly deposited into the account…
It’s actually quite a good deal.
After thinking for a while, Gao Chuanshu looked at Fujii Yuna seriously:
“Ms. Fujii, I’ll take this commission.”
Chapter 32: Please send me to Feng Zhiqi Private School, I want to meet you in person! (Old version)
Gao Chuanshuo’s voice was not loud.
But because the atmosphere was rather depressing, no one spoke except him, so everyone heard his voice.
Suddenly everyone was confused!
Damn, no, this young man!
Although you are the strongest rookie of the year, and we are very touched that you took the initiative to volunteer, do you want to hear what you are saying?
Do you know how many works their entire group had rejected before?
There are some great works among them…
Unless he can come up with another science fiction work of the same level as “Four Lies”, how could he dare to say this?
The looks that others gave him were extremely strange.
Yuuna Fujii, who was standing by, also had her brain CPU overwhelmed.
She looked at Gao Chuanshuo who had a calm face.
With his mouth slightly open, he didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
So the questions the other party just asked were not out of curiosity.
But are you counting the money for yourself?
Has Teacher Ikaros always been so confident?
Kagurazaka Ayame in front of her would also want to hold her forehead if she wasn’t in front of everyone.
But she still held back.
The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she coughed lightly, and chose her words carefully:
“Sensei Ikaros, your previous match with Fairy Yamada was very exciting. We are all very happy to have Eromanga-sensei in our group.”
“We also know that you are capable, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to create Four Lies, but this commission is obviously not something that an ordinary newcomer can take on.”
“Well, but I also know that you are not just any newcomer.”
“If you are really interested, then compete fairly with everyone else. How about you hand over your plan to Fujii before this week?”
Of course, she didn’t take Gao Chuan Shuo’s words seriously, but she couldn’t discourage Gao Chuan Shuo’s enthusiasm.
After all, when other editors are overwhelmed.
As a contracted author, he was able to step forward and take on this rather difficult task.
That’s the attitude!
She can’t criticize others in any way.
The other editors didn’t know what to say after hearing what Kagurazaka said.
But after Gao Chuanshuo said this.
Gradually, the atmosphere in the office became relaxed.
After all, if a newcomer can take the initiative to take on the task, why are these old guys still shrinking back?
The female editor next to Fujii Yuuna.
Looking at Gao Chuanshuo, he also teased with goodwill:
“Mr. Ikaros, come on, if you get the commission, remember to buy us coffee!”
Gao Chuanshuo hesitated for a long time and agreed:
“If we can get it, fine.”
Others heard this and joked:
“Then Mr. Ikaros, I’ll be waiting for your coffee. Also, I have some good topics and ideas here.”
“If you want, you can talk to us.”
“I can give you a list of works here, maybe you can find some inspiration.”
“Let me introduce you to a few of my contracted authors on this subject!”
Everyone is still very gentle to him, because Gao Chuanshuo is still a high school student.
But there are not many editors.
I really count on him to write a work that will be appreciated by a famous director.
To be honest, they didn’t underestimate Gao Chuanshuo.
The entire editorial team.
No one, including editor-in-chief Kagurazaka, will deny the brilliance of “Four Lies”!
But this is a difficult commission.
It’s not enough to just have one good work.
After all, they have had many works rejected, and among them there are one or two works that are no worse than “Four Lies”.
But it was rejected just the same.
Sometimes, it really takes a little luck, a little love, and a mutual attraction…
Gao Chuanshuo didn’t know what the other party was thinking!
But he really had his eyes on the 10 million yen commission!
Although he can only get 50%!
There is also 5 million yen!!!
Much more than the grand prize of 3 million.
But what bothered him was:
I feel like there are so many editors in the Kagurazaka editorial team, it would be a big loss if I treated them all to expensive coffee.
How about asking Miss Fujii to go to the bar for them?
This way you don’t have to spend any money.
Forget it, even though I don’t know them, if I really get the commission money, I really can’t be too stingy!
After all, it seems that they still take good care of themselves.
After the meeting.
Under the leadership of Fujii Yuna.
Takagawa Saku also started a voice call with Eromanga-sensei to discuss the content of the illustrations.
Because the publishing schedule is quite tight, time is still quite tight.
Both sides are quite serious.
But after Gaochuan Shuo passed several directions in a row.
Eromanga gradually fell silent.
She even thought the other party was teasing her.
But behind.
After listening to Mr. Ikaros’s detailed explanation, I found that it would be better to present it according to his ideas.
Only then did she realize that the other party did not mean what she had imagined.
Based on the ideas just pointed out, she gradually understood the other party’s thoughts as the author.
He suddenly displayed his divine power.
The result shocked Gao Chuan Shuodu.
But he soon regained his composure. If the other party was really stupid and could only make trouble, how could Kagurazaka treat him like a treasure and hide him away.
After all, a good painter can definitely increase the sales of his works.
Haven’t you heard that buying an illustration will give you toilet paper for free?
“Okay, let’s stop here today.”
Gao Chuanshuo was very satisfied and even felt that it was his duty to give the other party a share of the sales.
After all, she worked hard. Ms. Fujii said that she even turned down a good light novel comic adaptation job for “Four Lies”.
“Okay…” The other person’s voice was a little soft and tender.
After hanging up the voice call.
Because the printing schedule has been reserved and the publication number has been obtained in advance.
As long as the illustrations are taken care of, “Four Lies” can be published immediately, which can be regarded as solving a worrying problem.
Then I will prepare the second volume of “Four Lies”.
Well, the commission for Plastic Memories cannot be forgotten.
There is also the short story contest organized by Baiquan Society.
Gao Chuanshuo organized his thoughts and it was almost noon.
“Teacher Ikaros, do you want to have dinner together?” Fujii Yuuna said happily.
There is an unspoken rule in the editorial department.
After the work is signed, the editor will treat the author to a big meal, and it’s all at public expense!
But Takagawa Saku remembered the agreement he made with Kasumigaoka Utaha.
“Next time, next time for sure! Ms. Fujii, please take me to the area near the Private Fengzhiqi Academy.”
Chapter 33: How can I guide Gao Chuan at this level? (Old version)
Saku Takagawa plans to write the animation script for “Plastic Memories” this afternoon.
He thought it would be nice to have a computer.
Typing on a computer is definitely faster than typing on paper!
Contribution is convenient!
But among the people he knows, it seems that Kasumigaoka Utaha has a computer!
And for its appearance and portability!
It seems to be a pineapple laptop with a unit price of 388,888 yen.
The typical standard of a white, rich and beautiful woman.
“Let’s borrow it from Senior Kasumigaoka first. When the manuscript fee is paid, he can buy one then. Um…just buy a mobile phone for his sister.”
Thinking about this, Gao Chuanshuo sent a message to the other party, asking for the computer.
The other party did not hesitate and agreed quickly.
The Dian○Bunko is located in Sugina-ku, where the private Toyonosaki Gakuen is located.
Not too far.
It’s about ten kilometers, and it only takes about ten minutes by car.
After chatting for a while, we decided to meet at the nearby Inokashira Park.
Since we have made an appointment.
It’s better to wait there first than to arrive at the right time.
After getting off the bus.
After saying goodbye to Miss Fujii, Takagawa Saku sent a message to Kasumigaoka Utaha on his mobile phone to tell her that he had arrived.
Then he restrained his steps which were becoming excited unconsciously!
Walk to the agreed location.
Maybe because it was the weekend.
There is one of the few large commercial centers in Sugami Ward near Enshi Park. There are many people here, and there are many men and women walking arm in arm along the way.
The surrounding atmosphere is rendered somewhat ambiguous.
“Ding Dong——!”
I had just taken two steps when the phone in my pocket rang.
Gao Chuanshuo took out his cell phone and took a look!
It was Kasumigaoka Utaha, and it said:
【What a coincidence, I’m here too. 】
Where is it? Gao Chuanshuo looked around but didn’t see it.
Standing there blankly.
“Hello, Mr. Rookie King Ikaros.”
Within seconds, the sound behind me was like a spring breeze blowing in April.
Gao Chuan Shuo turned his head and saw Kasumigaoka Utaha standing on the curb, looking down at him.
She was wearing a snow-white halter dress today. The blue belt at the waist perfectly outlined her slender waist and elegant figure. The style was beautiful but very thin!
Her legs were wrapped in black stockings.
Her delicate face has shallow dimples when she smiles, which makes her look a bit fox-like in charm.
According to the normal social standards, Kasumigaoka Utaha almost satisfies most of the fantasies of a mature girlfriend.
“Ahem, how long have you been waiting, Senior Kasumigaoka?” asked Gaochuan Shuo.
“I just arrived, and I always felt that I would run into you at this time.” The girl smiled faintly, her hair swaying gently along her jawline.
“No.”
The girl didn’t explain, she just walked two steps forward along the curb and smiled:
“Walk around?”
“Okay.” Gao Chuanshuo nodded, slowed down his pace, and walked slowly towards the commercial area of ​​Enshi Park with her.
“Let’s go eat omelette rice. I remember there’s a good restaurant nearby.” She smiled faintly, still looking at Gao Chuan Shuo’s face, as if she didn’t care about anything else.
“OK!”
The two came to a quiet coffee shop in the center of the commercial street.
Judging from the promotion, the signature dish of this store is indeed omelette rice.
Gao Chuanshuo found a seat on the second floor and sat down.
Observing the surroundings, his eyes were full of insight.
“This cafe is really nice.”
Now it was Kasumigaoka Utaha who became curious and asked:
“Hey, you’re still paying attention to this now?”
Gao Chuanshuo pointed to the open window on the second floor and said with a smile:
“This location is really great.”
“If I put two machine guns there, I could take over the entire street down there by myself.”
“……sharp.”
The girl smiled softly and looked him straight in the eyes.
After a while, Gao Chuanshuo spoke:
“What are you looking at me for?”
“You can read my face.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled with her lips pursed, but her eyes still stayed on his face.
“Hey, I remember your family lived in Kamiigusa, not in Sensoji Temple.”
Nowadays, fortune-telling stalls can only be found around some shrines and temples.
These fortune tellers will provide fortune-telling services to tourists or believers, just like the fortune-telling stalls that can be seen in some tourist attractions in China.
“Don’t you want to hear the result of my face reading?”
The girl moved closer, looked into Gao Chuan Shuo’s eyes and smiled.
“Well, how did it turn out?”
“Very good, but he looks like a scumbag who plays with the minds of young girls.”
Gao Chuanshuo: “Be careful or I’ll push you into the river!”
Kakigi Library, located at 1-6-13 Kamiigusa, Sugina-ku, Tokyo, is the largest library near the private Toyonosaki Gakuen.
After dinner.
The two of them quarreled all the way to the Kakigi Library, and Kasumigaoka Utaha found a relatively secluded seat by the window.
But I hadn’t sat down for two minutes.
Gao Chuanshuo suddenly sighed: “I finally understand what it means to have a thorn in the side.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Takagawa Saku in confusion.
“Are these people from your school?”
He felt it as soon as he came in.
A group of high school boys nearby were staring at him eagerly.
“Tell me, did you do this on purpose? I feel like if your eyes were bullets, I’d be riddled with holes when I sit with you.”
Kasumigaoka seemed not to notice the jealous looks from the group of boys.
He deliberately moved closer to Gao Chuanshuo.
“Are you scared?” She raised her beautiful chin and asked proudly.
“I’m afraid, so I’ll go to your house next time.”
“Hehe.” Kasumigaoka Utaha politely chuckled to express her refusal.
Then he shook the glass.
“I’ll go get a glass of water and get your computer for you.”
She is currently collecting material for the second volume of her new book.
She came with her computer in the morning.
Then after going out at noon, I put the computer bag in the password locker.
She asked Gao Chuanshuo to come over!
In fact, in addition to the main purpose of meeting Gaochuan Shuo, I also had the idea of ​​consulting him for materials.
But now that the computer is given to Gao Chuanshuo, there is nothing we can do.
Kasumigaoka Utaha had no choice but to borrow some traditional literature from the library.
I plan to draw nutrients from it.
It also kills time.
But after watching for a while, she found that Gao Chuanshuo was not avoiding her either.
He has already started typing seriously on his computer.
She took a look!
I found that it didn’t seem to be a novel.
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Takagawa Saku with some surprise, which was rare.
1. Basic format (script title, author name, contact information, copyright statement)
2. Story outline.
3. Introduction of roles (main roles, secondary roles)
4. Main body of the script (scene number, scene type, picture description, lines, sound effects, time…)
This format…
Is it an animation script?
It doesn’t seem to be “Four Lies”!
Plastic Memory?
Is he practicing his writing skills in preparation for the subsequent adaptation of “Four Lies”?
She was immediately attracted by the attention.
Takagawa Saku also noticed the appearance of Kasumigaoka Utaha.
But he didn’t care!
The slender white fingers continued to tap quickly on the silent keyboard.
Seeing this, Kasumigaoka also began to appreciate the script written by Takagawa Saku.
She has written many scripts for the drama club since elementary school, and she wanted to see if there was anything she could give Gao Chuanshuo some pointers.
But as she watched, she seemed to realize that she seemed to be overthinking.
So angry!
With Gao Chuan’s level, she is using her head to guide the other party!
No, don’t come over here! (Old version)
Gao Chuanshuo was very familiar with the process, just like a calm and proud veteran.
I don’t know when he learned to write scripts.
But come to think of it, she is not Gao Chuanshuo’s girlfriend.
There are so many things we don’t know.
She moved over and carefully read what Gao Chuanshuo wrote.
“You want to write a script?”
“The editorial department has a good commission. I just learned scriptwriting by myself for a while, so I want to give it a try.”
While typing, Gao Chuanshuo briefly talked about the editorial department’s affairs.
“Don’t worry, I’m not stubborn, I’m just trying.”
“If the quality is not up to standard, it won’t even pass the editing process.”
She is a Silver Award-winning light novel writer.
Although it is not very good, I still have some general appreciation ability.
“What kind of story is this? Let me help you take a look.”
“A pure love story with a sci-fi twist.”
“Pure love?”
Utaha Kasumigaoka began to carefully study the animation script written by Saku Takagawa.
Plastic memory
First Scene
Time: Day and night
Scene: City, inside and outside of buildings.
People: Mizuki Tsukasa, Ella.
△In the city with tall buildings, the camera gradually zooms in.
△A boy was running desperately. He passed through the automatic door of the building and entered it.
△While waiting for the elevator, the boy caught a glimpse of a girl in the elevator.
△Just one glance, and it lasts for ten thousand years.
When Gaochuan Shuo saw that Kasumigaoka Utaha was watching intently, he stopped to rest and did not continue coding.
Anyway, the content has been coded almost.
It would be good to take a break.
a long time.
The sobbing sound of Kasumigaoka Utaha gradually became louder.
After reading the entire script, Kasumigaoka Utaha was unable to extricate herself from the emotions expressed in it for a moment.
I just felt my eye sockets getting hot.
She lowered her head and closed her eyes, trying to hold back her tears, hoping to push them back.
The animation “Plastic Memories”.
In the past life, it was praised as a classic work that “no one can walk out of this animation series laughing.”
The destructive power would be no less in any world.
It tells the story of the sincere friendship between humans and robots, including grandmother and granddaughter, colleagues, siblings, close friends, lovers…
As literary creators, generally speaking, they have stronger empathy than ordinary people.
Just by reading the script, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn’t help it.
[Moderate depression from the special character Kasumigaoka Utaha, depression value critical hit +1000…][Current depression value: 4251. ]Gao Chuanshuo looked at the entry prompted by the system and exclaimed.
He didn’t expect the system.
There is actually this function.
You know, he had previously released the first volume of “Four Lies”.
The accumulated depression points are only over 1,000.
Although it gradually rose to more than 3,000 points as it was serialized in daily publications.
Perhaps it is because there is not much depressing content in the first volume of “Four Lies” and it is more healing overall, with each reader only scoring 0.1 points.
It was so low that he lost confidence in the 100,000 points.
But now, Kasumigaoka Utaha alone provided 1,000 points.
Could it be that the real purpose of the system is to make special people depressed? !
He suddenly had many ideas.
He wanted to be a good person at first, so now he wants to say sorry to his lovely friends in advance!
After deciding on the idea, Gao Chuanshuo calmed down.
He handed over the tissue and comforted the girl:
“well enough?”
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Takagawa Saku, took the tissue and whispered:
“Your script is very well written, but it’s a bit too sword-like. Although I haven’t finished reading it yet, from what I’m reading, Shui Peisi and Ella are destined to be in a relationship that will end.”
“How could that be? If you don’t believe me, watch “Four Lies”. All my works are healing.”
The content of the current four lies.
It is indeed a healing direction.
But she always had a bad feeling, just like the black cat that was mentioned repeatedly in the text of “Four Lies”…
Also, when Xun took the bus home, he got off at the hospital stop.
“Really?” asked Kasumigaoka Utaha.
“Of course. If you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself later.”
Gao Chuanshu nodded.
Seeing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha had no choice but to believe it.
After all, light novels generally have good endings.
And there is an unfinished script in hand.
The male protagonist Shui Peisi is also looking for a way to prevent Ella from forgetting her memory after being recovered.
Maybe we will find a way…
But no matter what!
Based on the current level of the script, she feels that even if the client is not satisfied, this animation will definitely appear on TV.
The script is different from the novel and the animation.
It is very rigid and intuitive, and lacks many elements of atmosphere.
He had a hunch that the animation of “Plastic Memories” would be more depressing than the cold, mechanical text of the script.
In this way, the depression value provided may be higher.
So, in order not to reveal the ending in advance.
Gao Chuanshuo stopped typing after that, saying that he had no inspiration, and started chatting with Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Suddenly, Gao Chuan Shuo felt several prying and burning gazes.
Following the line of sight, I saw several boys dressed as high school students.
It looks pretty good.
However, when Gao Chuanshuo looked over, the people on the opposite side would turn their eyes away, pretending to read or chat in a low voice.
“From your school? Came to see you specifically?”
After all, the private Fengzhiqi Academy is nearby, and Kasumigaoka Utaha is one of the two most beautiful girls in Fengzhiqi.
It’s not surprising to receive such treatment.
“No, I came here specifically to see you.” Kasumigaoka Utaha replied with a smile.
Gao Chuanshuo understood.
“You said that the source material was a lie to me, right? The real reason is that you want me to be a shield!!!”
“How could that be?”
Kasumigaoka Utaha’s fair face revealed a smile that came from the bottom of her heart.
“Do you need my help to prevent future troubles?”
Gao Chuanshuo immediately hugged his arms, looking a little angry.
“How can we prevent future troubles?”
Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly became curious.
Feeling the gazes of that group of people, he looked over again.
Gao Chuanshuo smiled slightly.
He leaned over and gave Kasumigaoka Utaha a kiss on the forehead!
“You’re welcome!”
Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and immediately became as cunning as a fox, with her eyes narrowed with laughter.
“Eh, it’s just this extent. Isn’t this a bit too fake?”
No, don’t come over here!
Chapter 35: Send me a copy of the script, I want to read it too! (Old version)
Sunday.
Takagawa Saku also brought back Kasumigaoka Utaha’s computer.
After he returned home!
Keep writing Plastic Memory!
Because the content was already in his mind, he could type very quickly without thinking, and it was basically completed by the next day.
He decided to make some minor corrections to the typos and sent it to the internal company email address listed on the previously commissioned document.
He was not afraid of questioning.
Anyway, just explain that it is a deposited manuscript, and it can be considered a deposited manuscript anyway.
After sending the manuscript, Gao Chuanshuo began to organize his thoughts in his mind.
at present:
“Four Lies”√, serialized in a daily magazine, will be officially published as a single volume next Monday.
As for the second volume.
Wait until the first volume is published before making preparations.
“Plastic Memories”√, the animation script has just been submitted.
“Firefly Forest” ×, there are 23 days left until the deadline.
Gao Chuanshuo feels that he should take a short break recently and return to the simple and unpretentious campus life.
Sudden.
My younger sister Mizuki popped her head out of the bathroom!
She glanced at Gao Chuanshuo with a suspicious look:
“Brother, what’s wrong with your clothes?”
“What’s going on?” Gao Chuanshuo didn’t quite understand at first.
He stood up and walked to the bathroom.
He saw Mizuki clutching the shirt he was wearing yesterday, with a fairly obvious kiss mark on the collar.
Weiwa Mizuki narrowed her eyes and looked at Gaochuan Shuo who seemed a little guilty!
Little kid Ye Yue was also there, sitting on a small stool eating cypress cakes.
“Da Jiao, my sister said there is a vixen around you, you need to tell Sister Shaxi!”
“I said that this was all Hikigaya’s fault. Do you believe me?”
At noon, Dian○Bunko, 9th floor editorial department, Kagurazaka group.
Yuuna Fujii and editor-in-chief Kagurazaka have just returned from Tonei Publishing House. They have just finished typesetting the single volume of “Four Lies”.
I just got back to my office, don’t even think about eating!
Before I even had time to take a sip of the water, I found that I had received an email from Gao Chuanshuo on my computer.
“‘Plastic Memories’? Could it be the project submitted by Mr. Ikaros?”
It’s only been one day!
In just one day, other editors have not found suitable works yet.
Naturally, she didn’t expect Gao Chuanshuo to send him the script.
But Teacher Ikaros is his strong ally after all.
Prompt response is a virtue.
After getting a glass of water, Fujii Yuuna started to read the file downloaded from the email.
But after seeing the content!
She almost spit out the water she had just drunk!
“This isn’t a planning proposal, it’s an animation script?”
What shocked her even more was!
It would have been fine if he had just written a script, but Mr. Ikaros even wrote the storyboard.
It’s obviously not a one-time achievement.
Although she is a fiction editor, she also learned some basics of adaptation in department training.
At least the first few pages!
There is absolutely no trace of immaturity!
Could it be that Mr. Ikaros asked some famous animation scriptwriter to do it?
She quickly called Gao Chuanshuo for a quick consultation and confirmation!
But the answer was surprising.
“Is this the work you wrote when you taught yourself to write scripts?”
Fujii Yuna was skeptical.
But the evidence was right in front of her, and she couldn’t refute it. She couldn’t just say it fell from the sky.
Yuuna Fujii doesn’t really understand storyboards or animation!
But she is the editor of Dengeki Bunko after all, and she still has some commercial sensitivity to the “story”.
“Forget it, let’s take a look at the content first.” Fujii Yuuna began to read it seriously.
Episode 1.
The film first introduces the male protagonist, Tsukasa Mizuki, and the background of the world, which takes place in a future society where robots are extremely advanced.
Then comes the first mission after Mizuki Tsukasa and Ella form a team.
——Go to a grandmother’s house to recycle the robot Tina which is about to expire.
I saw the unreasonable mother-in-law in front of me.
I didn’t think it was a big deal at first, I just thought it was a general plot obstacle.
But when she saw the reversal later, Fujii Yuna felt that her emotions were instantly aroused by Tina’s emotional catharsis.
It made her want to cry!
“This work really has the flavor of Four Lies…”
Fujii Yuuna couldn’t close her mouth.
At this moment, she really believed that it was Teacher Ikaros’s draft work.
Suddenly, Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka waved at the door.
“Fujii, let’s go eat.”
“I’ll treat you!”
“Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka,” Fujii Yuuna said with red eyes, a little hesitant: “You go first, I will finish reading this script first.”
“What script?”
From what I heard from the script, it was most likely related to the commission on one side of the moon.
Kagurazaka Ayame instantly became interested!
“It’s Mr. Ikaros’s science fiction animation script.”
Fujii Yuna hesitated to speak, but finally told the truth.
“A science fiction work by Kou Takagawa? An animation plan?”
“No, it’s just the animation script…”
Kagurazaka was stunned.
“Animation script? Where did Mr. Ikaros get the animation script?”
“Teacher Ikaros said that this was the manuscript from when he was self-taught in scriptwriting…” Fujii Yuna answered in a low voice.
Kagurazaka was immediately amused, “He also taught himself scriptwriting?”
But it’s not surprising. It’s not uncommon for light novel writers to learn scriptwriting.
There is no light novel writer who doesn’t want to be a scriptwriter.
Host the animation of your own work.
But as the editor-in-chief, she is also the person in charge of this lunar side commission.
Because of the “Four Lies” that came out in April!
Kagurazaka is very optimistic about Takagawa Saku.
She felt that Gao Chuan Shuo even had the chance to become the second Senjumura Masaru, so she was actually looking forward to Gao Chuan Shuo’s plan.
Her original intention was to let Gaochuan Shuo write a light novel based on the plan!
She then found someone to change it into a script.
Unexpectedly, she didn’t wait for the planning proposal, but instead received the script.
But she wasn’t very optimistic.
Even though she was a little disappointed, she did not object to Gao Chuanshuo learning scriptwriting.
But after all, they are two different contents, and she thinks she should wait until the light novel techniques are more mature and stable before trying it again.
We shouldn’t be so hasty.
never mind!
Kagurazaka Ayame waved and said:
“Fujii, send me a copy so I can take a look at it too.”
Only after seeing it, she could point out Gao Chuanshuo’s shortcomings.
Then there will be a chance to talk to him and correct this good talent.
Chapter 36: This script seems really good?! (Old version)
After returning to her office and sitting down, Kagurazaka Ayame received the file of “Plastic Memories” on her computer.
See the name.
She pondered it secretly for a moment.
I have to say, the name alone does have a sci-fi flavor.
But the name doesn’t play a big role, the script still depends on the content.
Come see her!
Gao Chuanshuo’s focus now should be on the second volume of “Four Lies” rather than transforming into a screenwriter.
Otherwise it would be a waste of his talent and the result would not be worth it.
One is out of curiosity!
Secondly, in order to be able to speak meaningfully when admonishing Takagawa Saku, he opened the script.
I read it line by line.
After seeing the content:
△ (Voiceover) If the length of life is predetermined, how should we deal with this period of time, and how should we accept this doomed tragic ending? “
She couldn’t help but be stunned!
Her heartbeat quickened slightly, and ripples suddenly appeared in her clear eyes.
The format is mature and the opening is interesting.
But it still depends on the plot.
She continued to turn the pages on the mouse.
I kept seeing Nina crying and instructing her mother-in-law about the little things she should pay attention to in daily life.
Kagurazaka Ayame’s expression gradually became moved.
Life has always been filled with the pain of separation.
Being slightly older than Fujii Yuuna, she has experienced more separations and has a stronger resonance with this work.
sometimes.
People were moved not by the song or article itself, but by the fact that they connected it to their own experiences at that moment.
She leaned forward slightly, involuntarily moving closer to the computer screen.
Waiting for the beginning and end of each story.
Kagurazaka Ayame’s shock was evident in her words.
By the time she turned to the last page of Plastic Memories, it was already afternoon.
“This script is so well written…” She blushed a little.
She had been thinking about giving the other party some guidance.
It turned out that she was overthinking!
The world of genius is indeed different. Although he claims that it is a practice work, Mr. Ikaros is no worse than light novelists in terms of animation script creation.
“Maybe we can really take it to the side of the moon and take a look…”
“Maybe it will work.”
But she suddenly became a little worried. After all, this was just a practice work for a new writer, and she didn’t know if it would suit the director’s taste.
After all, she had heard it.
This is because the other party wants to find a satisfactory final work for himself, and many good science fiction works have been rejected before.
So much so that they wondered if the other party wanted a more famous work.
From the perspective of fame, “Plastic Memories” was almost PASSED.
But let’s submit it and have a look anyway.
Try to save the situation.
What if someone takes a fancy to me?
But it didn’t matter if she wasn’t liked, because with the quality of this script, she could easily help Teacher Ikaros later and sell it for a high price.
But if you want a famous production team!
Just have to wait.
She took out her cell phone and called Yuuna Fujii.
“Fujii, when Mr. Ikaros sent you an email, did he tell you any requests?”
“Requests… Oh, Mr. Ikaros said that if it passes, in addition to the commission, I hope the company will not forget to include the remuneration for the script writing part.”
Fujii Yuuna answered quickly.
Kagurazaka: “…”
No, is this something she could forget?
They are not a small workshop company, of course they will give it, and at a high price.
Conquer people with virtue!
But seeing that Gao Chuanshuo was so confident, let’s put it up and give it a try.
“I understand.” Kagurazaka Ayame hung up the phone.
After solving the problem here.
Kagurazaka Ayame couldn’t help but worry about another thing in her heart, “I don’t know what’s going on with Star Tours. Have they discussed it?”
“Interstellar Voyage” is a new science fiction light novel by writer Furuhashi Tomohide, who made his debut at the Grand Prize three years ago.
Once published!
With sales of over 3 million copies, the book has received numerous positive reviews online, and its content is also very suitable for adaptation into an animation.
It is the type that is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful.
However, Furuhashi Tomoyuki seemed to have plans to adapt the story himself, and was unwilling to let Bunko handle the adaptation rights.
Naturally, it cannot be used to complete the commission. Kagurazaka Ayame has always felt it was a pity, otherwise the first two batches would not have been returned to one side of the moon!
But the third batch was the last chance for the Moon’s side to give them the Dengeki Bunko.
Hey!
As a small and transparent department, we finally got a chance to stand up and received a good commission, but we didn’t expect to run into a tough challenge.
But if it’s not done yet!
As for the indicators of their department, I’m afraid deducting bonuses is a small matter!
I hope Hayata can convince Furuhashi Tomoyuki to entrust the adaptation rights of “Star Trek” to the company!
Chapter 37: I don’t believe this commission is so difficult to complete! (Old version)
The next day, Kagurazaka Ayame came to the company’s glass building.
She came to the ninth floor and glanced at the editorial area.
“Everyone, have you prepared your commissioned works?”
“Boss, most of it is ready, and we have contacted several good works this time.”
“What about Around the Stars?”
“We are still communicating…”
“Come on, communicate with Teacher Guqiao again.”
Kagurazaka Ayame sighed, said nothing more, and turned into her office.
Kagurazaka Ayame had just sat down on a chair and was wondering whether she should go and discuss the matter of “Star Tours” in person.
Suddenly, the cell phone rang.
She put aside the thoughts in her mind and quickly took out her cell phone to take a look.
She found out that someone in the company’s editor-in-chief group sent her a message.
As one of the industry leaders, Wenku has many editors-in-chief, as many as twelve, and each editor-in-chief has about ten editors under him.
All twelve editors-in-chief are in this group.
Jun Sasaki: “Kagurazaka, I heard that your department’s script commission has not been completed yet?”
How would he know… Kagurazaka frowned and replied: “It’s none of your business.”
Jun Sagi is the editor-in-chief of the Sagi Group, and he was also the former editor-in-chief of Kagurazaka Ayame, but they did not have a good relationship. When she first came as an intern, she was under Jun Sagi.
The editor-in-chief arranged for him to take care of Kagurazaka, but the other party did not take her seriously and made her do unreliable work all day long!
After all, all the newcomers have gone through this, so she can understand it.
But after she discovered and trained the person, she transferred the property to her own name with just a few words.
Afterwards, she finally got a chance to be the editor of a sub-publication of Dengeki Magazine, but he ruined her future with a casual remark: “I’m not familiar with the business yet.”
Fortunately, she worked hard and quietly unearthed several works that others did not think highly of. In addition, later on, she was unwilling to transfer the work of Senjumura Masaru to the name of Jun Saki.
She was promoted to editor-in-chief and escaped from the sea of ​​suffering!
But what Jun Sasaki said.
This also cheered up the other editors-in-chief. Did Kagurazaka and the others receive some commissions?
Hiroaki Tanaka: “Commission? Miss Kagurazaka went to Sensoji Temple to burn incense recently? The team just signed a prize-winning work, and immediately received another commission?”
Miho Watanabe: “I’m jealous. Not only did our group of writers fail to win the Rookie of the Year Award, but the economic situation this year is down, and our group has a lot of copyrights but nothing has happened.”
Matsumoto Tomoko: “You are so lucky, Kagurazaka. If you sell the copyright, don’t forget to invite us to the izakaya to celebrate!”
All of a sudden, three more editors-in-chief emerged.
But soon, Jun Sasaki spoke again:
“Although I’m very lucky, I heard that the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka has asked Director Ikuhara to find a final work. This is not a easy commission to accept. Director Kagurazaka must be very busy right now, right?”
See this message.
The editors who were speaking were stunned for a moment. They were naturally familiar with Supervisor Ikuhara.
Ikuhara Hideaki!
As a famous director who invented the production committee system, he produced the animation work “Revolutionary Girl Utena” with super low budget, which influenced more than an era.
He is also the head of the super sci-fi animation team ‘Daicon3’. Although he has not produced animations in recent years, he has handed over all the production to his own animation team!
But it is rumored that he has been looking for a work that will be his final masterpiece!
They have also been bothered by Hideaki Ikuhara!
His requirements were too high. He searched through the entire library of works under his editing team but couldn’t find a suitable animation!
Miho Watanabe: “Director Ikuhara? You can’t be so unlucky!”
Matsumoto Tomoko: “Uh… Miss Kagurazaka, do you think you need to work so hard for this? I feel really sorry for you. I think you should just give up and forget about having your bonus deducted.”
Koji Nishimura: “Is this Kagurazaka’s first commission? What a pity…”
Saito Haruko: “Poor Miss Kagurazaka, I also have a few science fiction works here. If you need them, I can give them to you to try.”
Jun Sasaki: “Don’t even mention the work you have. With Director Ikuhara’s request, it’s useless even if you move our library over!”
Kagurazaka was so angry that she really wanted to kick Sasaki Jun hard!
But she was still grateful to Haruko: “No, Haruko, I’m contacting Mr. Furuhashi about Interstellar Journey.”
When they heard “Around the Stars”, the others were slightly stunned!
Naturally, they had also heard of this super science fiction work in their library.
Saito Haruko: “The works of Mr. Furuhashi… If there is one work that can catch the eye of Director Ikuhara, it is probably this one.”
Koji Nishimura: “But as far as I know, Mr. Furuhashi is the kind of person who is unwilling to let others adapt his works. He will take on the role of script supervisor for each animation adaptation of his work. Supervisor Ikuhara will not agree…”
Tomoko Matsumoto: “It’s tragic…”
Jun Sasaki: “Haha. Give up, don’t have any illusions about this commission…”
Kagurazaka was speechless. She turned off her phone and stopped chatting in the group.
She decided to be that guy from Hayata!
If she can no longer communicate well with Guqiao Fangxiu, she will go there herself!
She just doesn’t believe it!
Is Ikuhara Hideaki’s vision really that high? Is this commission really that difficult to complete?!
Chapter 38: What? “Star Tours” was also PASSED?! (Old version)
Just when the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka was filled with indignation!
There was a knock on her office door, and the person who came was Hayata!
He looked excited:
“Boss, Mr. Furuhashi has agreed. He said that if this is Director Ikuhara’s last work, he would agree not to participate in the production!”
Mr. Furuhashi’s “Star Tour”. Upon hearing this, Kagurazaka’s face lit up:
“Well, you did a great job. I’ll record your contribution and give you a share of the bonus!”
Hearing this, Hayata also smiled happily!
At the same time, several other editors also submitted their lists one by one.
In addition to “Interstellar Journey”, there are several other famous works.
For example, “Above the Stars”!
Sales volume: 1.5 million copies.
“Haibolong Girl”!
The sales volume is also 1.1 million copies!
There are also several works whose sales figures are in the hundreds of thousands of copies.
It can be said that the editors under her team have performed beyond their expectations!
Looking at these good works one by one.
Kagurazaka is filled with excitement!
Maybe there really is a chance to get this commission!
That afternoon, she and several staff members brought the work that had passed the company’s review and the internal closed agreement to the review location.
An independent conference room in a five-star hotel in Tokyo!
Ikuhara Hideaki’s son, Ikuhara Taketo, asked curiously, “Mr. Chris, how long will it take to find my father’s final work?”
“Director Ikuhara.” Chris Yamada shook his head. “You don’t like the works of the Extreme Bunko. You also didn’t like any of the previous two batches of works from the Dengeki Bunko…”
“Oh, no.” Ikuhara Taketo sighed, “I understand my father too. After all, every animator’s final work is a summary of his life’s art and the work that he puts the most effort into. If a normal work takes one month to carve, then the final work will take three months to complete!”
“I know my father’s requirements are a bit harsh, but his last work was to find a science fiction light novel story that he had in mind.”
The works of Dengeki Bunko are not bad, but they are not suitable, and his father became angry when faced with one wave of dissatisfaction after another.
I’ve been clamoring to go to Shogakukan to take another look!
Unexpectedly, Dengeki Bunko, one of the leading companies in the industry, couldn’t find a work that would satisfy his father, and he was a little disappointed.
Chris Yamada sighed and said, “The last batch of light novels from Dengeki Bunko will be sent today. What do you think of it?”
“Okay, but this is the last batch.” Jiyuan Wuren smiled awkwardly: “Forgive me, this masterpiece is too important for my father, so you have to spend more time on it. How about this, if there is no suitable one today, you can help us look for it in other libraries…”
“By the way, can you help me urge the Electric Shock Library now?”
Suddenly, Chris Yamada was stunned.
“Director Ikuhara, I don’t think there’s any need to rush them. They’ve brought the work over. Can you please ask old Director Ikuhara to come over and take a look together?”
Ikuhara Taketo was immediately satisfied:
“Okay, our main creators are here, so we can watch it with them!”
Downstairs of the hotel.
Kagurazaka took a deep breath and stepped through the glass door of the hotel!
She stared at a pair of eyes that were slightly red.
I must complete this commission this time!
She walked to the meeting room on the executive floor with ease, and soon saw several familiar faces!
They greeted each other and entered the meeting room together.
“I want to see if you are satisfied after watching it, and let you judge for yourself whether my requirements are too high!”
Just entered the meeting room!
Kagurazaka heard Ikuhara Hideaki’s voice, which sounded a little dissatisfied.
Chris Yamada was somewhat helpless. He coughed lightly, shook hands gently and said, “Director Kagurazaka has arrived. Shall I start with my parents?”
Kagurazaka nodded and shook hands in response:
The staff opened the relevant access closure tools on their respective computers.
Just waiting for them to review it!
Review and select works!
Unlike evaluations, they don’t have to read the entire article, but mainly rely on a feeling to perceive it!
Only when you feel it is suitable will you check further to see if there is any problem.
So even if there are around fourteen books!
But it generally doesn’t take too long!
The first one is:
This is the work that has sold 1.1 million copies. I didn’t expect to win this work in the first draw.
Kagurazaka and the rest of the staff turned their heads and looked at each other, and no one could hide the tension on their faces!
But no one knows the result now, and all we can do is wait patiently.
Across the conference table.
The main creative staff of Daicon3 began to officially review.
Dengeki Bunko’s service was excellent. In addition to the manuscripts of the original works, they also brought the project plans, which made D and his team very satisfied.
But it was only about five minutes!
Hideaki Ikuhara chose to slowly delete the work and asked the staff to open the next one!
Kagurazaka Ayame was shocked!
The result was so realistic that “Haibolong Girl” couldn’t even last five minutes. She couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed!
But when she thought about the upcoming better-performing works “Above the Stars” and “Around the Stars”, she felt a little better!
In the next ten minutes, I skipped two works with scores of hundreds of thousands.
Finally, it’s time for “Above the Stars”!
This is the second best work in this batch!
The sales volume is as high as 1.5 million copies. You should know that the sales volume of Yamada Fairy’s animated work “Dark Fairy of Explosion” is 2.2 million copies!
If we take into account the fact that science fiction is relatively unpopular, the value of this result is no less than that of Fairy Tales.
To be honest, Kagurazaka is still very optimistic about this work.
Maybe there is a chance!
There were only three minutes left before Hideaki Ikuhara asked the staff to switch to the next book!
Kagurazaka “…”
Kagurazaka opened her mouth slightly, but ultimately said nothing.
Swallowed back a mouthful of water!
She didn’t expect that “Above the Stars” was even worse than “The Habor Girl” and couldn’t even last five minutes!
What follows is even more amazing!
One minute, 30 seconds, 15 seconds…
Let’s not talk about whether 15 seconds can tell whether a work is good or not!
There are only four works left!
She laughed, because people really laugh when they are speechless.
She felt that Ikuhara Hideaki was not selecting light novels, but more like practicing swordplay, and now he has reached the level of five sword strikes per second.
Finally, it’s time for Interstellar Tour!
This work has sold 3 million copies. Although it is a light novel, the way it tells the plot even has a bit of traditional popular literature flavor.
Judging from Director Ikuhara’s previous works, this seems to be the type of work he likes!
“Good luck!”
Supervisor Kagurazaka prayed quietly in his heart.
Time passes by every second!
Below, the staff of Dengeki Bunko dared not breathe a word.
Editor-in-chief Kagurazaka heard her own heart beating, and she was a little scared, afraid that this last hope would be shattered!
She looked at the time. This work was the longest one.
It’s been more than ten minutes now!
“Could it be possible that it really worked?!”
However, at the fifteenth minute, Ikuhara Hideaki took a deep breath and looked at the staff of Dengeki Bunko.
“Great work!”
Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka was delighted, but had no time to show it!
Director Ikuhara sighed and continued, “But if it was a few years ago, I would have filmed it, but unfortunately, I’m already old…”
“Next one!”
At this moment, the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka finally gave up!
Chapter 39: This is the work I want! (Old version)
Chris Yamada, who was standing by, was also shocked when he saw this scene.
This old supervisor Jiyuan is too cruel!
As an editor-in-chief of Jiji Library, he naturally knew about “Star Trek” by Furuhashi Tomoyuki.
The story is extremely good and has sold over three million copies!
It is much better than her sister Yamada Yaoi’s masterpiece “Exploding Dark Fairy”, but unexpectedly it still failed to impress Ikuhara Hideaki!
This famous supervisor has such high standards!
Is there really any work in this world that can satisfy the other party? Chris Yamada looked at the staff of Dengeki Bunko with a little heartache.
Especially the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka who looked like he was about to break!
The computer is, and it seems there are still a few works left.
The old man stopped.
“Warrior.” Ikuhara Hideaki greeted him gently, motioning for him to come and see, then he opened the thermos and started drinking.
“Father,” Ikuhara Taketo advised, “There are a few works that seem good, all of which are works by gold medal writers, and are close to the style of your previous animations.”
Ikuhara Hideaki said dissatisfiedly: “You should know what kind of story I want. I have seen their works and they are indeed good, but it is also true that they do not match the theme I want. Taketo, do you also think that my requirements are too strict?”
Ikuhara Taketo coughed and looked away!
The other members of the team also turned their heads away, not daring to look at the old man.
Ikuhara Hideaki got angry all of a sudden. It turned out that this group of people really thought that he was too strict. He said angrily: “Then I won’t have the final say. Next, you and Takeru will go and watch it together. If it were you, do you really think these works are qualified to be your final works? If you really think they are suitable, then I have nothing to say!”
“Father, that’s not the case.”
Ikuhara Taketo laughed and said, “Let’s just keep watching.”
He naturally remembered the subject matter his father wanted to create.
——Companionship and farewell!
Through companionship and farewell, it is not only a screen farewell from the father to his beloved animation career, but also a farewell from the father to his long-deceased lover (Taketo’s mother).
At first, his father’s career suffered a setback and no one believed in him.
Only his mother silently accompanied his father as he made the animation frame by frame.
This emotional bond of mutual companionship.
It supported his father through difficult times when he was young, and also made him deeply realize the importance of companionship in interpersonal relationships.
He wanted to express his emotions through his last work.
but……
Nowadays, how easy is it to find such works?
“Just watch it and let you appreciate it carefully to see if you are satisfied or not. Am I asking too much?” Behind the crowd, Ikuhara Hideaki sneered while holding a thermos cup.
Taketo Ikuhara took the computer reluctantly. It was difficult for the creative team to disobey the old man’s orders.
I had no choice but to come over!
I started watching the subsequent works with Taketo Ikuhara!
After turning off “Interstellar”, they soon saw the next work “Plastic Memories”.
They glanced at the name oddly.
I don’t have much feeling.
Then they clicked in, but after seeing the content, they were suddenly slightly moved.
“Is this the animation script and storyboard?”
The format of this work seems to be different from that of other people’s works. It is actually an animation script, and even the storyboards are written out.
As a well-known animation team, they are very familiar with this thing.
“Don’t be in a hurry, let’s take a look at the content first.” Ikuhara Taketo said in surprise.
But the more they looked, the more surprised they were.
Unlike novel editors, they not only look at the story, they also analyze the accompanying storyboard scripts.
The more I look at it, the more I feel like a cat scratching my heart!
This animation script is definitely written by a famous screenwriter who has a very thorough understanding of the art of screen shots.
Hideaki Ikuhara behind.
It’s amazing to see the main creators watching it so seriously and taking a breath from time to time.
It was obvious that he had seen a rare treasure.
He suddenly couldn’t sit still anymore.
He naturally knows his creative team, and they definitely have some general concentration. If it were an ordinary work, it would definitely not be in this state.
no!
Is this order of arrangement playing me? This work just happens to be different from the previous works?
What amazing masterpiece just happened to appear when he took a break?
He was a little skeptical at first and tried to keep calm.
“Father, come and see!” Ikuhara Taketo’s shock was beyond words, and he even looked happy and excited.
The others also quickly made room for the old man.
Seeing the state of his creative team and his son, Ikuhara Hideaki’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
I’m afraid they really found some treasure.
Naturally, he didn’t care about the slap in the face!
If I really found a masterpiece that suits my life, getting slapped in the face wouldn’t matter.
He moved closer!
I wonder what works they are watching.
But you won’t know until you see it!
At just one glance, the old man was attracted!
“This animation script is really well written. Let me take a look at the content.”
He took the mouse from Jiyuan Wuren’s hand and began to read the manuscript in front of him carefully.
“If the length of your life is determined from the beginning, how should you face this fact?”
The old man’s hand holding the mouse trembled slightly.
One page, two pages, three pages…
As the papers turned page by page, the old man’s expression gradually became moved…
Wait until you see Shui Peisi refuse to end his partnership with Ella.
The old man’s eyes were already red.
He looked at Jiyuan Wuren, “At that time, your mother was seriously ill, and many friends advised me to break up with your mother, but I refused. That is a memory I will never forget in my life…”
“Later, I don’t know if it was because she didn’t want me to worry, but even though she was in pain, she still forced herself to smile and tell me she was fine.”
“But I was stupid at the time. I didn’t realize that she was already very ill. I often sneaked out of the sanatorium with her and took her to visit my animation studio to see the animation drafts and storyboards I drew…”
Taketo Ikuhara was also somewhat moved, as he knew that his mother died of tuberculosis.
But I don’t know some of the stories.
Ikuhara Hideaki was looking at the animation script while recounting his memories. Everyone else was silent and listened attentively without any impatience.
Only after he had reminisced enough did he continue reading.
Until I saw the answer that Shui Peisi gave to Ella’s question at the beginning of the script: “I think I will try my best to live in that limited time!”
See this sentence.
Ikuhara Hideaki sat in the chair, lost in thought.
It was a long time later.
He took a deep breath and decided to control his emotions and continue reading.
Turn all the way to the last page!
The old man was still immersed in the story.
“Father, I have finished reading the entire script.” After a long time, Ji Yuanwu murmured.
Ikuhara Hideaki finally came to his senses and smiled somewhat disappointedly:
“Takeru, what is this work called?”
“Father, it’s called ‘Plastic Memories’.”
Ikuhara Hideaki stood up and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: “Takehito, I think this is the work I have been looking for!”
Chapter 40: My old man wants to meet him! (Old version)
Everyone looked at the old man without saying anything.
The old man’s face turned red, and he slammed the table: “Don’t look at me like that, it’s not that I have high standards, but the previous works are really inappropriate!”
Everyone burst into laughter.
But they definitely believe what the old man said. Just looking at the storyboard of “Plastic Memories”, no animator would not be excited!
Not to mention that the content of the story is inconsistent with the old man’s ideas.
He deserves to be chosen!
If the old man could find the script for his final work, it would have fulfilled one of Daicon3’s wishes.
At this time, in the hotel’s other lounge.
The glass walls reflect the sunlight.
Kagurazaka sat inside looking somewhat depressed, and so did the other staff members.
The old man felt sleepy in the middle of the journey and planned to take a rest!
They came out together.
“I didn’t expect the old man to have such high standards…” Chris Yamada shook his head and comforted him.
Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka let out a silent breath:
“Wait a little longer. Wait a little longer.”
Chris Yamada nodded, “Yes, until the results come out, everything is possible.”
But Hayata, the editor who signed the contract for Interstellar Tour, couldn’t help but say, “But boss, even Mr. Furuhashi’s work was rejected. From a probabilistic point of view, the possibility that this batch of works will be favored by the old man is almost zero.”
Kagurazaka Ayame’s face darkened: “Shut up!”
He had long given up on cultivating Hayata’s emotional intelligence, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so worried before and wanted to solve the issue of Furuhashi Tomohide herself.
Theoretically, there is still hope for the remaining works!
By the way, there are also works by Mr. Ikaros!
Kagurazaka’s eyes lit up at first, but he quickly returned to his depressed state.
She was quite professional in analyzing the story of a script, but she was definitely not good at animation storyboards.
I don’t know how good Mr. Ikaros is at drawing storyboards.
But at first glance, it still looks a bit sloppy, and I think it’s just the level of a beginner. It seems unlikely to impress the professional animation team with storyboards.
I just hope that the good story in the script can impress the other party… Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka sighed, leaned lazily on the soft chair and prayed silently.
She glanced at Editor Hayata briefly, then lay back in the soft chair and closed her eyes.
“It’s almost time. I won’t go over. You and Editor Chris should go over and take a look. If you have any news, report to me immediately.”
The two also knew that Kagurazaka was in a bad mood.
I’m afraid she’s already thinking about how to write an apology letter to the editor-in-chief to express her “incompetence”.
The two were about to turn around and leave when there was a knock on the door.
The person who came in was the old man’s son, Takehito Ikuhara, who is also one of the current supervisors of Daicon3.
However, Jiyuan Wuren’s face showed some guilt, just like when the previous two batches failed to catch the old man’s eye.
The moment Kagurazaka opened his eyes and saw Ikuhara Taketo.
Instantly I felt like the sky was falling.
Is this batch already finished…Olishet!
Ikuhara Taketo spoke apologetically as always: “Private Marseille, Director Kagurazaka, Mr. Yamada, we saw that you were not here just now, so we privately looked through the subsequent works without permission. We have finished reading the subsequent works, but my father found the work he wanted, which is the animation script “Plastic Memories”. That work is really good.”
When she heard the first half, she felt hopeless.
Besides, it wasn’t a big deal to check it privately on a closed software. She managed to reply politely: “I should be the one to apologize. I still couldn’t get Director Ikuhara to find it…”
But after hearing the second half, editor Kagurazaka stopped talking abruptly!
She stood up suddenly from her chair.
Her eyes suddenly opened wide, she stared at Jiyuan Wuren’s eyes, her breathing became rapid, at this moment she actually felt a kind of astonishment and ecstasy as if she had survived a holiday!
“What did you say!”
Selected?!
Mr. Ikuhara chose “Plastic Memories”? !
Chris was also stunned when he heard what Taketo Ikuhara said.
Editor Hayata, who had lost all hope after “Star Voyage” was rejected, suddenly looked up, showing shock and astonishment.
“How is it possible! Obviously, Furuhashi-sensei was passed, but the newcomer Ikaros-sensei was selected?”
She has been really wronged during this period of time!
Editor-in-chief Kagurazaka breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile regained its confidence, but her slightly trembling hands still showed her uncontrollable excitement.
“It’s great that Director Ikuhara is interested in my work. I, no, the entire Japanese animation industry, is looking forward to his work when Director Ikuhara chose to retire and interrupt his preparations for his last work. It’s our honor to contribute a little to the old man.”
Ikuhara Taketo waved his hand and said politely:
“Director Kagurazaka, you’re joking. I don’t know which famous scriptwriter this Ikaros teacher is. My old man would like to meet him.”
Chapter 41: But does Mr. Gaochuan like money? (Old version)
“Are you serious about wanting to see Teacher Ikaros?”
Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka was slightly surprised.
“Of course I’m serious.” Ikuhara Taketo nodded slightly: “My old man is very interested in this work.”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t help you with this. Mr. Ikaros doesn’t want to be disturbed, so please ask our library to keep his identity confidential. However, you can send the letter to our library as a fan mail, and we can help you pass it to him. If he is willing, it would be the best…”
“Written communication? I see.” Ikuhara Taketo also became interested: “I think my father will like this way of communication.”
After Taketo Ikuhara left.
Chris Yamada’s usually calm face finally couldn’t hold back his curiosity, “Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka, could it be that the selected work is from Mr. Ikaros?”
Kagurazaka thought about it and Yamada Chris was one of the middlemen for the commission.
There was really no need to keep it secret from him.
“That’s right, it’s a practice piece for teacher Ikaros when he was learning scriptwriting!” Editor-in-chief Kagurazaka looked proud, as if the work was written by her friend.
Yamada Chris’s face was filled with envy and jealousy, and he couldn’t help but say:
“Teacher Ikaros has abilities beyond those of ordinary people. Editor Kagurazaka, your editorial team has found a freak!”
The smile on Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka’s face faded uncontrollably, and he said unhappily, “Editor Yamada, I’m not saying anything bad about you, but you’re just a freak. Others are geniuses!”
After saying that, she quickly waved her hand.
“The animation process of your sister’s work has also made a big leap forward, right? Go tell that freak in your family, I have something urgent to deal with!”
She had to call the editor-in-chief to apologize immediately!
But it’s not that the Kagurazaka editing team is incompetent, they still need to practice!
But!
I’m sorry, maybe our team is really incompetent, but editor-in-chief, our team accidentally picked up a freak!
She can’t wait!
Chris Yamada, who was standing by, thought that it made sense, and he really wanted to tell his sister the news.
I was stimulated by “Four Lies” some time ago.
She has been in seclusion these days, ‘She said she wanted to use the manuscript summoning technique to write a work that would satisfy Mr. Ikuhara, so that she could prove that she is better than Mr. Ikaros, and then she could take Mr. Eromanga back!’
Although my manuscripts were rejected repeatedly, I’m tired of them!
But they really have a connection… I don’t know why her sister knew that it was Teacher Ikaros again… and she completed Mr. Ikuhara’s commission before her.
What kind of expression will she have if I help her complete the key link of animation?
Chris Yamada opened the door and walked out of the office.
He began to look forward to it!
After sending everyone away, Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka picked up his phone and called Editor-in-Chief Suzuki Tomokazu.
The call was connected quickly!
“Editor-in-Chief Suzuki, I have something to report. Regarding the commission assigned to our team by the company, our team has fortunately fulfilled the task and completed it.”
Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka’s tone had a hint of pride.
“Kagurazaka, as an editor-in-chief, you must be responsible for your words, and you should understand the price of lying.” The editor-in-chief’s cold and indifferent voice came from the phone.
Kagurazaka remained undeterred by the pressure from his boss. “Editor-in-Chief Suzuki, this may be unbelievable, but I am here and ready to sign the contract!”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then the tough male voice softened:
“To be honest, our company didn’t have any expectations for this mission. Even if you didn’t complete it, I wouldn’t punish your team. I didn’t expect to get a surprise. I don’t know who can complete the commission, but after he cooperates with Mr. Ikuhara, it will definitely bring a lot of profits to our company. I’m afraid other libraries will also try to poach him. If you find a way to keep him, I will report it to the president and you will be credited with a great achievement!”
The smile on Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka’s face gradually widened; his year-end bonus was secured.
But she knew that this matter mainly depended on Teacher Ikaros, and she had to strive for some tangible benefits for him.
“Editor Suzuki, how are we going to keep Ikaros-sensei?”
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki thought for a moment and said:
“As the industry leader, we naturally win people over with our virtues!”
Kagurazaka: “?”
“Could you please give me some advice, Editor-in-Chief?”
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki smiled:
“Give him more money, transfer all of the commission to the company, and upgrade his writer’s contract, promising a higher royalty share. Please complete the form and submit it to us for review…”
Kagurazaka was stunned!
Is adding money considered winning people over with virtue?
But would this work? He didn’t think that Mr. Ikaros would be a person who valued money…
Chapter 42: Full Bonus, Elite Writer Contract Presented! (Old Version)
But she thought about it!
I’m afraid they can’t give Teacher Ikaros anything except money.
In addition to the entrustment fund of 5 million belonging to the company.
It’s best to put some effort into the contract!
There are several types of standard contracts for the levels of electronic document libraries.
E-level potential writer contract!
This contract is usually aimed at new writers who have just entered the industry. It has the lowest royalty share, only 3%, and there are basically no publicity resources except for the unified publicity for new book releases every month!
And to the more advanced D level.
That’s the Rising Star Writer Contract!
Every year’s New Writer Award belongs to this category, and the royalty share is basically around 6%, and there is also corresponding separate publicity when the works are published.
Currently, Ikaros, Covenant, and Yamada Fairy all belong to this level!
Keep going up!
It is a C-level contract for core writers.
The royalties received by Dengeki Bunko’s core writers are around 8%.
2% higher than Mr. Icarus’ current contract!
The quality of works at this level is stable and mature. They have gained a certain reputation among light novel fans and can gradually derive peripheral products.
Generally, only writers with a certain level of fan popularity can be signed.
In theory!
Ikaros-sensei should be able to sign this C-level contract for his next book!
It was quite appropriate to adjust teacher Ikaros directly to here, but the words “conquer people with virtue” echoed in Kagurazaka Ayame’s mind.
She decided to look further down and found a B-level elite writer contract!
Generally, there are only a few writers in the library who can sign this contract!
The quality of the works is stable and excellent.
The royalty share is 10%!
Generally, when publishing books, we will work closely with professional illustrators, voice actors, and other animation industry professionals.
There is also a chance that the work will be adapted into popular animation, games and other media forms.
Kagurazaka Ayame’s eyes lit up. Yes, this is it.
Judging from this year’s rookie of the year and the trend of writers who adapted the works into animations, the company probably won’t have much objection.
And 10% of the royalties!
This is already the highest share that most libraries can offer to writers. Teacher Ikaros will also be satisfied!
certainly……
There are also A-level contracts for top writers.
Royalties are divided into 15%!
Generally, only works that become classics in the field of light novels can lead the creation trend of light novels and have a profound impact on the development of specific types of light novels.
The contract can only be signed if the work has set new sales records and has been adapted into popular animation, TV series, movies and other media forms many times.
Not to mention the S-level!
Those who can get an S-level, that is, a writer’s contract.
They are basically legendary characters from light novels!
His creative career and works have made indelible contributions to the entire cultural field.
It is considered great in the field of light novels!
They can DIY the contract.
Royalty sharing has no meaning to them anymore!
If they are willing to give up some of the profits, they can even get 100% of the royalty profits.
So far, only eight writers have been able to reach this level!
What Kagurazaka Ayame is most proud of is that one of her contracted writers, Senjumura Masaru, has officially become one of the Eight Thunder Gods of Dengeki Bunko.
Her extremely popular work “Fantasy Demon Sword Legend” has sold over 14 million copies in just less than two years since its release, and has been adapted into animations twice!
This is how he became the youngest Thunder God writer in Dengeki Bunko!
As for Teacher Ikaros.
After what happened today!
She was also optimistic that he could become a writer like Senjumura Masaru.
I also want to give him a higher contract level, but right now none of his works have been released for sale.
I’m afraid the higher-ups won’t approve!
And he believed that, if nothing unexpected happened, Teacher Ikaros would publish two more books!
Thor writers don’t tell!
Getting an A-level contract from a top writer is basically a done deal!
After finalizing the reward program for Teacher Ikaros, she immediately called Editor-in-Chief Suzuki.
“Full bonus and elite writer contract…”
Editor Suzuki thought for a moment and said calmly:
“Kagurazaka, the full bonus is fine, but the Elite Writer Contract is a bit too soon. I feel like a Core Writer Contract would be more appropriate…”
Kagurazaka Ayame analyzed carefully:
“Editor-in-Chief Suzuki, you were the one who said that we should win people over with our virtues… Mr. Ikaros is definitely a rare genius, and his elite contract is absolutely not excessive. In addition, you must be having a headache about the newcomer Tezuka Tsukuhei who will appear at Shogakukan in the second half of the Nebula Novel Awards. Isn’t that why you signed Yamada Yoshie at the risk of being scolded by other newcomers?”
“From now on, Mr. Ikaros is definitely not worse than the Yamada Fairy! In a word, I can get him to sign up for the Nebula Novel Award!”
There was a moment of silence on the speaker’s end:
“Okay, I can take a gamble for him, but I hope he won’t let me down. I only want a silver medal out of the ten entries. Otherwise, I think our editorial team needs a reform. We haven’t won a place in the Nebula Novel Award for three consecutive years. Kagurazaka, you should know what I’m talking about.”
In Dengeki Bunko, each editorial group is responsible for one main topic!
And major awards for the corresponding subjects.
The Kagurazaka group inherited the previous group and was responsible for the major awards!
It’s the Nebula Novel Award!
However, Dengeki Bunko, as the industry leader, has not won a place in the Nebula Novel Awards for three years.
“I understand, Editor-in-Chief Suzuki. It’s just a military order. I will definitely fulfill it!”
Kagurazaka pretends to be free and easy, but he actually feels a lot of pressure inside!
Teacher Ikaros’s full bonus + elite writer contract, it’s settled!
As for the Nebula Novel Award.
As for Teacher Ikaros, I’ll just leave it to fate. At worst, I’ll be able to let Xiaohua come back to participate in the competition…
Please, Xiaohua!
Come back soon, woooo!
Kagurazaka had just hung up the phone with Editor-in-Chief Suzuki.
Just at this moment!
Suddenly I found that someone in the Dengeki Bunko editor group sent her a message @ her. There were already quite a few group messages above, most of which were about commissioned matters.
“@Team 12 Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka, Ms. Ayame, it’s almost over now, how’s Director Ikuhara doing?”
It’s Saito Haruko!
He was an editor-in-chief with whom she had a good relationship, and he even wanted to use his own library to help her complete the commission.
Miss Kagurazaka is thinking about how to respond!
Jun Sasaki, who had always had a bad relationship with them, jumped out and said, “Ms. Saito, what are you saying? Didn’t you listen to the feedback from the staff before? Even “Star Tours” was rejected. What else can we do next? Don’t irritate Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka!”
Koji Nishimura: “Don’t say that. This is not the first time that Mr. Ikuhara has approached our library. He does have high standards. Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka, don’t worry. Editor-in-Chief Suzuki will not demote you for this matter!”
Seeing this, Saito Haruko also hurriedly comforted her:
“Acorus, it’s okay. Don’t let them bother you. It’s just a commission that hasn’t been completed. I’ll treat you to a barbecue tonight.”
Kagurazaka Ayame smiled and typed:
“How about this, Haruko, when you get off work, help me call everyone else over and we’ll meet at the usual place, but it’s my treat!”
I heard someone wanted to treat us.
Everyone else couldn’t help but feel happy, thinking that they could have a good meal again!
“Okay, okay, thank you, Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka!”
“Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka is so generous!”
“Don’t worry, I will definitely go to the appointment on an empty stomach!”
But after replying, I suddenly realized it!
wrong!
Who is the one who invited us? It doesn’t look like it’s Saito Haruko!
It seems to be Kagurazaka???
Why is she treating?!
Generally, only after completing a company commission, the editor-in-chief will treat other editors-in-chief and his subordinates to a good meal.
This is the unspoken company rule of Dengeki Bunko.
Koji Nishimura: “No way, Miss Kagurazaka, you want to treat us?”
Jun Sasaki: “Don’t we treat you to a meal only if you complete the company’s commission or sign an elite writer or above? What do you mean by treating us, Kagurazaka?!”
Kagurazaka Ayame: “Don’t worry, everyone. Our Kagurazaka Group has lived up to the trust and has successfully completed the company’s commission and found a suitable final work for the old man!”
The group was suddenly muted and silent as if they had been silenced.
The other side must be going crazy!
Kagurazaka put away the phone without any intention of explaining. Anyway, the relevant staff would report the news to the company soon!
Before that!
Let them become kings!
This is the felt, so cool!
Yes, we must also tell Teacher Ikaros this good news!
A full bonus of 10 million yen is entrusted, plus a contract with an elite writer in the library!
I’m sure he will be very happy too!
PS: This book is only 2 monthly tickets away from the 100th place in the monthly ticket category list. I beg the big guys to vote for it. Thank you all, ROZ…
Chapter 43: I really have never seen the world! (Old version)
Takagawa Saku was unaware of the many things that were happening at Dengeki Bunko. He was still going back and forth between attending school at Sobu High School and going home to set up his stall.
Today, my sister got out of school early, so Gao Chuanshuo went to the kindergarten to pick up the little girl Ye Yue.
Ye Yue is a bit lazy!
In front of my older brothers and sisters, I don’t want to walk after just two steps.
Gao Chuanshuo was also afraid that she would get lost, or stay in front of a snack stand, unwilling to go home.
He had no choice but to hold the little kid in his arms all the way!
Not giving her the chance, but letting Gao Chuan Shuo find out.
There seem to be a lot fewer vendors nearby today, and occasionally you can see security guards patrolling nearby driving away the vendors.
Even the little kid in my arms felt much calmer.
According to the Neon Road Traffic Law, placing obstacles on the road that hinder traffic is an absolutely prohibited illegal act.
But setting up a stall is a relatively static behavior!
As long as it does not seriously hinder traffic, the sheriff will usually approve it.
Of course, for food stalls!
You also need to comply with the Food Safety Law and the Fire Protection Law and obtain relevant certificates!
But due to the economic downturn during this period.
The restrictions in this regard have always been very relaxed, but today they have become stricter.
I think it was probably what happened yesterday.
A vicious murder occurred in the next district yesterday.
The cause seems to be that a stall owner raised the price of raw materials!
The price of food has increased by 20 yen!
One customer did not accept the price increase and started to drive other customers away.
The vendor’s defense was broken!
The two had an argument!
Then the stall owner stabbed the troublemaking customer to death in a rage!
After arrest investigation!
It was discovered that the vendor did not seem to be qualified to set up a stall.
Then the upper echelons decided to strictly investigate those who are not qualified to set up stalls…
I don’t know if the stalls at home are like this too…
And the economy is down!
Social hostility has indeed become much more serious.
Gao Chuanshuo suddenly became worried.
Because he was worried about his sister, Gao Chuanshuo quickened his pace to go home.
Back to my one-family house!
Seeing that the oden food cart was still there, Gao Chuan Shuo already had a conclusion in his mind.
I guess he wasn’t able to set up the stall.
If possible!
Naturally, he never wanted his family to set up shop again.
But I, Huazhi, said that in today’s society, every penny you can earn should be earned.
His younger sister Mizuki also insisted again and again, saying that his brother would need a lot of money to go to college in the future!
Gao Chuanshuo was silent.
He currently has just over 100,000 yen left after paying the monthly kindergarten fee for Xiaodouding, and he also bought a cell phone for Mizuki so that they could contact each other easily if anything happened.
The remaining money!
It must be difficult to support a family.
He also didn’t have the confidence to refute his stubborn family members.
Gao Chuanshuo came to the living room.
Seeing Gao Chuanshuo, Mizuki burst into tears: “Brother, the security guards drove me back. They said that if we want to set up a stall, we must first go to the health center to get a qualification certificate.”
Gao Chuanshuo sighed and poured a glass of water for his sister:
“I see. When I was picking up Ye Yue, I also saw the security guards on the road driving away the vendors.”
“I’m afraid it will be difficult to get a stall application approved at this time.”
“But mom has prepared the materials. If we can’t sell them, we will lose a lot of money.” Mizuki said sadly.
“Well, it’s probably impossible to set up a stall outside. Let’s set up a stall at home today and mainly sell to nearby neighbors to reduce losses…”
“Hey, I’ve wanted to run a store myself for a long time. It’s safer with more people in the store. It seems like I need to put this on the agenda as soon as possible.”
“When I get paid for my writing next month, I’ll use the money to buy a store. Then I’ll ask Aunt Huazhi to stop working in the warehouse of the lingerie store, and we can run a izakaya together.”
He had secretly investigated this matter before.
It seems that the izakaya next to Ogata Udon’s house has to go back to its hometown because of something.
The location of that store is great!
I just don’t know if I will be able to wait for the payment for the single volume of “Four Lies” next month…
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang!
It was the call from the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka.
When the call was connected, the editor-in-chief of Dengeki Bunko spoke with excitement:
“Congratulations, Mr. Ikaros, Ikuhara’s commission has been accepted. They have officially decided to use your work!!!”
“Okay, I understand. Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka.”
“Don’t you have anything else to say?”
On the other side of Kagurazaka, they were choked instantly!
Your work was chosen by Mr. Ikuhara, are you so calm?
Gao Chuanshuo thought about it and realized that there really was one. He asked curiously, “Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka, I want to know when I can get the commission money.”
The commission seems to be 5 million yen, and after tax it will be about 4 million yen.
It’s a bit difficult to buy a store!
But there is definitely no problem paying a deposit, there is a lot to look forward to in the future!
Kagurazaka Iris: “…”
He felt that God had really been killed by Teacher Ikaros’s talk. The child’s calmness formed a sharp contrast with her excitement.
The work was chosen by Mr. Ikuhara as his final work!
That’s Mr. Ikuhara!
What a great honor.
She was so excited for the other person, but he acted like he was used to it.
It’s as if she has never seen the world…
But she certainly couldn’t help but answer the other party’s question.
“Then, Mr. Ikaros, when are you free? I’ll ask Fujii to pick you up and bring you to the company to handle the formalities. After the official contract is signed, the commission money will be officially deposited into your card.”
“You can get the money once you sign. How about now?” Upon hearing that the commission money could be deposited into the account immediately, Gao Chuanshuo’s voice instantly became expectant.
The school was dismissed early, so Dengeki Bunko should not have closed yet.
This child is too impatient!
Could it be that he was very excited that his work was chosen by Mr. Ikuhara, and signed the contract quickly because he was worried that the other party would go back on his word?
It seems that she is not so worldly-wise!
“Okay… I’ll rush back to the company now and ask Fujii to pick you up right away.”
“But don’t worry, we have already signed a letter of intent. Mr. Ikuhara is a man of his word. He really likes your work and he won’t go back on his word.”
“Okay, thank you.” Gao Chuanshuo thought for a while and said.
I hope you won’t regret it. That’s 5 million yen.
Chapter 44: Yamada Fairy’s Little Collapse! (1/6) (Old Version)
Meanwhile, the aftermath of the storm continues.
‘Crystal Palace’ (the name given by Yamada Fairy to the villa he bought)!
Chris Yamada rang the doorbell outside the door.
Finding no response, he couldn’t help but sigh.
I guess my sister should be working on her manuscript in the small dark room right now.
Chris Yamada opened the door with the key and came to the work room of Yamada Fairy according to his memory.
Sure enough, I saw my sister with dark circles under her eyes, working on a manuscript in front of the computer.
He looked at the printed manuscript beside him.
He spent several minutes looking at the first few pages!
I was a little surprised at once. It seemed that my sister’s work was well written. Even if this beginning was placed in the Extreme Library, it would be considered a signature work.
Science fiction…probably written for Hideaki Ikuhara.
But when I think of what happened today, I can’t help but sigh again!
I hope this result won’t affect my sister’s mentality too much.
“Emily!”
Yamada Chris clapped his hands vigorously, immediately attracting the attention of the blonde girl.
“Chris, what’s wrong?”
Yamada Fairy’s eyebrows stretched:
“Oh, right? Today is the day we agreed to meet with Dengeki Bunko. You are here to tell me the result…”
The goblin Yamada in a gothic skirt did not stop typing:
“But I guess Dengeki Bunko will have a hard time reaching that old man’s goal this time. But it doesn’t matter, Chris. I’ve had a really good idea recently, and I think that old man will be interested in it. This way I’ll be one step ahead of that tall boy, hehe.”
That high school boy… should be Mr. Ikaros… It seems that my sister is still upset about losing the Rookie of the Year title.
Chris Yamada forced a smile out of embarrassment on his face:
“Emily, the contract for Daicon3 has already been signed with Dengeki Bunko, so you don’t have to force yourself to write the manuscript.”
“The manuscript has been approved. Is there any new progress in the animation production of my work?!”
Yamada Fairy stopped typing on the keyboard and was slightly stunned:
“Chris, what on earth is going on?”
Chris Yamada smiled!
Then he showed his sister the list of books provided by Today’s Dengeki Bunko.
“Hey, Dengeki Bunko gave away several science fiction works with million-selling titles today? Among them are “Hyperion Girl” and “Above the Stars” with a million-power combat power, and “Around the Stars” with a three-million-power combat power?”
The Yamada fairy looked at him with a look of surprise.
The above three books are all signature works of Dengeki Bunko’s science fiction light novels.
I wish my work could please Mr. Ikuhara!
Naturally, these works have the highest probability.
I don’t know which work finally got the result I wanted.
Is it “Above the Stars” or “Around the Stars?”…Yamada the Fairy pondered for a moment and said:
“Chris, tell me now!”
Chris Yamada looked at his sister lovingly and briefly recounted what happened today from the beginning!
When it comes to the previous works, they are basically adorable at first glance!
Both “Above the Stars” and “Hyperion Girl” lasted less than five minutes.
A hint of shock flashed in Yamada’s beautiful eyes!
She didn’t expect Director Ikuhara to have such high requirements. She couldn’t guarantee that her new science fiction work would be much better than those two!
The Yamada Fairy sighed, with envy and jealousy in her eyes:
“Chris, that means that in the end, it was Mr. Furuhashi’s “Star Trek” that was chosen. I’m really a little envious of him…”
After all, the opponent’s combat power (sales volume) is 3 million, which is much higher than her 2.2 million.
The subject matter is also suitable for adaptation.
It’s normal to be favored by Ikuhara Hideaki.
“No.” Chris Yamada shook his head.
Yamada Fairy was slightly stunned. She first took a sip of the children’s drink, then looked at Yamada Chris curiously and asked, “It’s not “Star Tours”, a surprise?”
Chris Yamada said calmly, “Yes, the one that caught Mr. Ikuhara’s eye was an animation script called “Plastic Memories.”
“An animation script? That’s great. Which famous scriptwriter wrote it?”
Yamada Fairy was amazed, but didn’t take it seriously at first. She just thought that Dengeki Bunko seemed to have spent a lot of money to hire a famous scriptwriter.
“Emily, you may not believe this, but that script was actually written by Teacher Ikaros. Yes, I’m talking about this year’s Electric Rookie King, Burning Ikaros.”
Ikaros?! Burning Ikaros?!
There seemed to be a thunderbolt in her ears, Yamada Fairy’s hand trembled, the children’s drink fell to the ground, and her beautiful and lovely face suddenly froze!
Immediately, her petite body fell to the ground and began to tremble slightly.
“Ugh~~~~Ga~~~Damn high school boy!”
She rarely lost her manners and rolled on the floor, screaming wildly!
Yamada Chris: “…”
“Emily, are you okay?”
The Yamada Fairy raised her red eyes and said, “Damn it, it’s that high school boy again!”
“Too cunning… This time it turned out to be an animation script that satisfied the old man…”
“Damn it, I can’t win at all…”
She took a look at the manuscript in her brother’s hand!
Then he snatched it away and ran outside!
Chris Yamada: “Hey, Emily, wait!”
Because he was worried about his sister, Chris Yamada also followed.
Another room in the corridor.
Fairy Yamada looked back at her brother who had caught up with her, took a deep breath and said, “Chris, I’m fine. I’ve lost this time, but I won’t give in!”
“Next time, I will definitely save Eromanga-sensei from his clutches!”
“I think his new book will be out next week. Hehe, when my new book is out, I might become a top-tier writer in Dengeki Bunko even faster than him… Then I can…”
Chris Yamada couldn’t bear it and said:
“But Emily, I seem to have heard from Miss Kagurazaka that because he completed the old man’s order, Dengeki Bunko seems to be planning to directly give Mr. Ikaros a contract as an elite writer… He may never become a core writer in this lifetime.”
“Damn it, how can this lady win? My Eromanga teacher, wuwuwu!”
She stuffed the manuscript of her new work into the shredder!
Chris Yamada was shocked:
“Emily…”
The Yamada Fairy said with tears in her eyes: “Don’t worry, Chris, it’s just that this level of work may not be able to beat that tenor. I want to write something more interesting!”
“He will definitely participate in the Nebula Novel Award. When the time comes, I will definitely avenge my previous shame. I want to win the grand prize. I want Eromanga-sensei to personally abandon that high school boy and choose me instead!”
Upon hearing this, Chris Yamada was slightly stunned, and then his face showed a little relief.
This doesn’t seem to be a bad thing…
Teacher Ikaros is really amazing…
My sister used to seem to lack enthusiasm for light novels. Her favorite thing to do all day was to watch cartoons and spend a lot of money on mobile games.
But after meeting Teacher Ikaros in Dengeki Bunko.
My sister seems to be taking light novels a lot more seriously.
Chris Yamada said seriously:
“Emily, it’s a good thing that you have this intention, but compared to Mr. Ikaros’s work, your work still lacks some cohesion in the plot. If you want to beat Mr. Ikaros in the Nebula Novel Award, you should spend some time practicing the short story structure recently.”
“Short story?”
Yamada Fairy thought about it and realized that sometimes, in order to rush to finish a manuscript, his writing was indeed a bit watery.
If he wanted to rescue Eromanga-sensei from the boys’ high school, it was obviously not possible with such obvious shortcomings.
“Recently, the Baiquan Society is soliciting short and medium-length articles. You can go there and try your luck!”
Chris Yamada said.
In the near future, it would be better to let your sister level up a little bit before fighting the big BOSS, Teacher Ikaros.
Otherwise, it would be bad if my sister kept failing and became too desperate.
“Okay, Chris!”
“During this period of time, I will undergo special training, and then win the grand prize in the Baiquan Society’s essay contest, so that I can temporarily take the lead in the field of short and medium-length stories among the male high school students!”
Chris Yamada looked at his sister’s confident look!
I felt a little relieved immediately.
It is worth mentioning that the brother and sister didn’t know it!
The high school boy mentioned by the Yamada fairy, that is, Takagawa Saku, also plans to participate in this short and medium-length writing contest!
PS: Thank you all for the monthly votes. I have actually made it to the top 50 in the fan fiction category. I am flattered. I went home on the weekend two days ago and could only update on my mobile phone. The updates are indeed less frequent. I will start updating six times today to repay everyone for their votes!
Chapter 45: Coffee Party from Ikaros! (2/6) (Old Version)
At 5pm, Dengeki Bunko!
Kagurazaka handed over the work at hand to other staff members!
Then he hurried back to the company to receive Gao Chuanshuo!
As soon as I get back to my office!
I saw that the editors in my group were basically in a tense and anxious atmosphere.
They all fell into a state of self-isolation.
Don’t dare to look at the phone!
I dare not even look at the computer!
Because after hearing that “Star Tours” was also rejected, they had no confidence in their subsequent works.
Most people are listless when greeting Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka!
Even before some people even noticed their heads, Kagurazaka Ayame had already returned!
See them like this!
Kagurazaka then remembered that he had not yet told them about what happened with Mr. Ikuhara.
Kagurazaka clapped his hands vigorously:
“Don’t all look like Hayata, have you lost your soul?!”
Someone immediately asked:
“Boss, you’re back. How’s the Daicon3 commission going? I heard that Mr. Furuhashi’s Interstellar Tour was rejected. Does that mean our department’s bonus will be reduced?”
The basic salary of editors has never been high.
The current economic situation is very bad, and bonuses and commissions are the bulk of income for each of them.
If you downgrade, you may even be fired!
Then their economic pressure will probably increase suddenly.
No one wants this to happen…
Kagurazaka rolled her eyes coquettishly:
“What are you thinking about? We have already signed the order from Mr. Ikuhara. You don’t have to look so dead. Get ready for dinner tonight!”
“Signed?!”
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, and then the department started discussing excitedly:
“I heard that even Guqiao teacher was PASSED, who is so powerful?”
“Yeah, I heard that the entire library was overwhelmed by this commission, but I didn’t expect it to be done!”
“Which editor’s author is about to rise?”
“That’s not right, I can’t think of that!”
“Boss, you wouldn’t secretly ask Senjumura Zheng teacher to take action!”
“I think it must be Senjumura Masaru who took action, otherwise even Furuhashi-sensei would have been killed. Which author in our group would be worthy of Master Ikuhara’s approval…”
Complete the stressful task!
Plus department dinner!
The gloomy mood of the editors of the Kagurazaka Group was swept away, and they all started to speculate.
Takagawa Saku’s manuscript was handed over to Kagurazaka himself by Fujii Yuuna alone!
Others didn’t know that Gao Chuanshuo had submitted his manuscript!
So some people teased Gao Chuanshuo:
“It’s a pity that Mr. Ikaros’s five million was gone. It seems that we are really not destined to have Mr. Ikaros’s coffee!”
“Ha ha!”
“Don’t tell me, if Ikaros teacher is really given time to create, I think there may be a chance, but this period of time is really too short, less than a week!”
“Hahaha, indeed!”
“But which author is so awesome? If it weren’t for Senjumura Masaru, with the connection to Mr. Ikuhara, I’m afraid it would really take off!”
Then everyone looked at Miss Kagurazaka, hoping to get the answer from her:
“Boss, please don’t keep us in suspense. This is our author. Tell us now so I can give his editor a good cup of coffee.”
Just as the atmosphere in Kagurazaka was brewing, he was about to speak.
Yuuna Fujii and Saku Takagawa happened to be walking in this glass building that gave it a very elite feel!
Following behind were two or three staff members from Xingjia Coffee downstairs, each of whom was holding a large bag of packaged Xingjia coffee!
That’s thirty-two cups in total!
Thirty-two people are also the actual number of editors and clerks of the Kagurazaka group present today.
Others were stunned when they saw it!
Some of me don’t understand.
“Teacher Ikaros, Fujii, what is this…”
Gao Chuanshuo put it succinctly:
“Coffee, everyone!”
Before, he planned to let Miss Fujii make it herself!
Miss Fujii is not her bed warmer, so it’s not a good idea to do this!
Moreover, he made five million and treated people to instant drinks… This made him seem a bit stingy.
Ahem, of course he is not a particularly stingy person, right?
He simply bought it directly from Xing’s house downstairs!
And it supports door-to-door delivery, which is really convenient.
Someone immediately became happy and asked curiously:
“Teacher Ikaros, Fujii, why did you suddenly invite us for coffee? By the way, Mr. Ikuhara’s commission has been completed, and our department will have a party tonight…”
However, before he could finish his words, his voice stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they had thought of something!
They all turned to look at Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka, only to see her smiling and saying, “Why, didn’t you ask Teacher Ikaros to buy you coffee after he got the bounty?”
“Here we go,” said the editor-in-chief of Kagurazaka with a faint smile.
Huh?
The others looked at the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka who had finished his joy, and then looked at Takagawa Saku, who looked humble but heartbroken over the coffee money, like a pigeon that had been hit on the head by Doudou.
Until a moment later, they were responsible for one-third of global warming!
“That’s amazing!”
“So, it was really Mr. Ikaros who completed the commission?”
“That’s amazing! Even Mr. Furuhashi’s work wasn’t appreciated. I thought it was Mr. Senjumura Masaru who did it!”
“Oh my god, Mr. Ikaros must have been sent down from heaven to save our department’s bonus!”
“Teacher Ikaros, please accept my greeting!”
“Wow, I’m so touched. Please forgive me for treating Mr. Ikaros’s words as a joke. I was a clown!”
“Teacher Ikaros is truly the eternal god. He just won the Rookie of the Year award and helped our department solve a big problem!”
The way they looked at Gao Chuanshuo was different!
If he was a cute little brother with some strength before, now he has become too powerful!
Of course, Gao Chuanshuo is still relatively humble.
He tactfully expressed that he was lucky!
So he asked Miss Fujii to serve them coffee.
Then he followed Miss Kagurazaka into a luxurious office.
After all, for him!
Signing the contract and getting paid is the real thing.
After Takagawa Saku entered the office, the other editors looked at Fujii Yuna, who was distributing coffee efficiently and seriously, and their eyes were immediately filled with envy and jealousy.
“Damn it, I’m suddenly a little envious of Fujii!”
“When can I sign a contract with a master like Senjumura Masaru and Ikaros?”
“Take a nap. You can dream about anything…”
“I have a feeling that before long, the boss will promote Fujii to deputy editor-in-chief!”
Chapter 46: Set a small goal, become a Thor writer first! (3/6) (Old version)
Inside the Kagurazaka office.
“Teacher Ikaros, what would you like to drink?” Kagurazaka said with a faint smile.
“Coke is good!”
He can drink coffee, but prefers Coke.
Kagurazaka took out a can of Coke from the freezer nearby and handed it to Takagawa Saku.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Ikaros, for helping our Kagurazaka group solve a big problem!”
“Actually, I did it for myself.”
“We are all doing this for ourselves. If this order fails, the orders for various adaptation works assigned to the Kagurazaka group will decrease in the future, and everyone’s life will be difficult then.” Kagurazaka still smiled.
Gao Chuanshuo understood instantly, “I understand.”
Then Kagurazaka handed Takagawa Saku several documents:
“So, to repay you, we have prepared some surprises for you.”
As if not wanting to lose even a moment, Kagurazaka showed his eagerness to secure the prize.
“Surprise?” Gao Chuanshuo looked puzzled.
The first document that catches your eye is the contract for entrusting copyright operations.
“We are currently discussing the price of the animation script of Plastic Memories with the relevant departments of Daicon3 Animation Studio. We promise to give you a satisfactory answer!”
“Okay.” Gao Chuanshuo took a look at the key part of the contract.
No problem, sign!
“After discussion, we have decided that the company will no longer share the profits and will give you the full amount of the reward.”
“In addition, our department has decided to adjust your contract level to a Class B elite writer contract, and your share of royalties for your works will be increased to 10%.”
“Why?”
Gao Chuanshuo suddenly became suspicious and asked curiously.
He was also a little surprised!
This is an extra 5 million yen, and he thought he should ask clearly.
Kagurazaka said: “There are twelve of our editing groups, and each group basically has a Thor writer. Four of them don’t have a Thor writer, but they have more signature writers… So in terms of average strength, each group is about the same. But because our group is a new editing group, and the only Thor writer, Senjumura Masaru, needs to be in seclusion for a year for some reason, our group has always been on the weak side.”
Gao Chuanshuo understood:
“It seems that the competition between the groups in the library is quite intense.”
Kagurazaka said:
“It’s not that our company is under great competition, it’s that the entire industry is under great competition. Dengeki Bunko, Fujimi Shobo, Shueisha, Kodansha, Shogakukan… There are far more writers of light novels in Japan than writers of traditional literature. There are also various competitions and awards every year. I really hope that you can become a trump card for our Kagurazaka Group and even Dengeki Bunko like Senjumura Masaru.”
“Yes, I see.”
“Will signing this contract restrict me from publishing my work in other Shinchosha or other magazines?”
“Don’t worry, if it’s not a long light novel, we naturally have no control over it.”
Miss Kagurazaka came closer and whispered:
“In fact, if you really want to, even if it’s a light novel, you can just change your pen name and publish it in other libraries, or after reaching a termination, submit it to other libraries, just like Yamada Fairy Sensei.”
Gao Chuanshuo immediately understood.
If it was just restricted to light novels, he wouldn’t mind.
The future is promising, sign!
Not to mention that the extra 5 million yen can solve his urgent needs!
There will definitely be no problem in buying a store.
The 10% royalties will also be a great boost to the upcoming release of “Four Lies”.
The price of non-popular light novels in Dengeki Bunko fluctuates roughly between 700 yen and 800 yen.
10% royalty share.
He could probably get 70-80 yen for one copy of “Four Lies”!
If it becomes popular, it can be sold for up to 1,500 yen per copy!
The price is 150 yen per book!
Suddenly, Hikigaya Hachiman’s value in his mind soared, and it might even have increased from 50 yen to 150 yen!
For Hikigaya and Totsuka!
There is definitely a promising future ahead, sign it!
After Gao Chuanshuo signed the contract!
Dengeki Bunko’s writer Lv instantly jumped from D to B rank.
But there are also A-level and S-level above.
“Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka, don’t we have a Thor writer in our group? Doesn’t the Thor writer get a higher share of royalties from elite writers?”
Kagurazaka nodded:
“The royalties and copyrights of Thor writers are definitely higher than those of other writers, and Thor writers also have many other benefits, such as peripherals, animations, audio, etc. The most important thing is that they can negotiate with the library and get a higher share of the revenue from all aspects of the work based on a customized contract…”
Gao Chuanshuo asked the question he really wanted to ask:
“What are the criteria for Thor writers?”
“There must be at least five works with sales of more than three million copies, or a single work with an influence of more than ten million copies, and one of the works has won a substantial and influential award, even if the sales are less than three million copies, it is still considered a work.”
“Does the Dengeki Bunko’s Rookie King count?”
“Calculate.”
Gao Chuanshuo took note of it secretly.
If you want a single book to sell for tens of millions and become a big hit, you need the right time, right place, and right people.
But three million is a lot lower.
If the subsequent works are calculated based on each copy, the price will be between 3 million and 10 million.
That means there are still four works to go!
Of course, it would be best if a single film could gross over 10 million.
Kagurazaka patted Takagawa Saku’s shoulder and said, “I believe in the potential of Four Lies. I think it will be no problem to sell over three million copies. As long as you give me time, I won’t be the author of Thunder God, but I’m sure he will be the signature author.”
“Hmm.” Gao Chuanshuo seemed to be thinking about something.
“Don’t think too far ahead. After all, you have already made a big splash twice in just half a month. You definitely have great potential.”
“Yeah.” Gao Chuanshuo agreed but had his own ideas.
He had to speed up the pace of publishing his books. After all, only by becoming a Thor writer as soon as possible could he make more money.
In Neon, a world ruled by chaebols!
Only with more money can we do more things.
Light novels and literary creation!
It’s just a way for him to accumulate resources.
But you have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time!
so!
Let’s set a small goal first, and start by becoming a Thor writer!
Then dominate Neon step by step!
“By the way, after such a long period of preheating, Four Lies is about to be released. Although you don’t plan to hold a book signing event, would you be willing to sign a few copies of Four Lies to boost sales?”
It’s finally going on sale, and Gao Chuanshuo’s eyes light up!
As soon as it is released!
If you don’t fail, it means a constant source of depression points and money!
You will definitely step directly into the high-income class!
“No problem, I’ll sign it.” Gao Chuanshuo was confused. He would not refuse something that could help him make money.
“How many books are there exactly?”
“Fifty.”
Okay, okay, you should also redefine the word “book”.
(End of this chapter)
Ps: There have been 3 updates so far, and the next 3 will be updated in the afternoon. If I write quickly, I may continue to update Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 in the evening, so please give me the data. Thank you all, ORZ…
Chapter 47: Full bonus has arrived! (4/6) (Old version)
“Dear Sumitomo Bank customer, your bank card with the last digit 2315 has received a transfer of 694,0000 yen.”
That night, Gao Chuanshuo received such a sum of money.
At the same time.
He also received a message from the Dengeki Bunko Finance Department:
“Dear elite writer, your share of the commission has been received. If you have any questions, please go to the Finance Department to check the account.”
It finally arrived!
Although more than 3 million yuan in personal income tax was deducted from him, he felt extremely painful.
But overall Gao Chuanshuo was still somewhat happy!
With this money, he will go to Aunt Huazhi to discuss the store business tomorrow!
He personally doesn’t think highly of the store.
At most, it would give Mizuki and Aunt Huazhi something to do, so that he could have one less thing to worry about.
And in the days to come!
Wait until the copyright price of “Plastic Memories” is finalized.
There will also be a considerable profit.
Moreover, if the show becomes a big hit, Gao Chuanshuo will be able to obtain a steady stream of income from the revenue share of various peripheral products and secondary copyrights.
Even if Gao Chuanshuo really can’t write other good works, he can basically solve the problem of food and clothing in life.
But no surprise!
The audience of any work will go through a process from the initial stage to saturation, so the share you get will definitely become less and less.
So it’s better to release more works, in case one becomes popular or is directly adapted!
In addition to depression points and fame, you can also make money!
and!
Dengeki Bunko will soon release “Four Lies”!
Chuan Shuo can’t help but look forward to “Four Lies” and how much profit it can bring him in the future!
As this year’s new Dengeki work!
There shouldn’t be any problem selling three million copies of the two volumes combined, and there shouldn’t be any problem adapting them into an animation either!
He felt that the profits from “Four Lies” would definitely be very considerable.
So, he felt the pressure was suddenly much less!
The store’s market conditions are also showing a downward trend!
Get the full bonus!
After the bonus amount doubled, he definitely had more than enough money to open a store.
Takagawa Saku asked Fujii Yuuna to drop him off near Ikebukuro.
He plans to go shopping at the nearby department store first!
Then!
He bought a bunch of tutorial books in his own name that he thought Saki Kawasaki might need. Thinking of improving the meals occasionally, he bought a bunch of fruits and some more expensive ingredients.
Then thought about it.
I still bought Mizuki a new white mobile phone, and Yeyue a KIDO brand children’s smart watch.
So that there will be no situation like today in the future!
You can also get in touch with me as soon as possible.
So, when Gao Chuanshuo returned home, it was almost eight o’clock in the evening.
Today Mizuki is setting up a stall in front of her home, which is very close.
Takagawa Saku also asked Saki to help.
Because the customers were basically only neighbors, there weren’t many customers in front of the food truck, and Mizuki and Saki seemed to be chatting casually!
Jinghua and Yeyue were also playing around.
When they saw Gao Chuanshuo carrying lots and lots of bags, their eyes lit up instantly.
Especially the little kid Ye Yue.
With a shout of “big pot”, he ran to Gao Chuanshuo’s front, then braked suddenly, and looked at the bag in his hand eagerly.
The word “delicious” was revealed in his eyes.
Gao Chuanshuo took a look at the other person’s thoughts:
“Yes, we have your favorite Dorayaki! Ask Sister Mizuki to get one for you and one for Xiao Jinghua. Remember, you can only eat one!”
Then I saw that there were not many customers and I couldn’t sell much of my inventory to my neighbors.
Gao Chuanshuo had no choice but to decide to close the stall.
After we finish closing the stall, we return to the living room.
Takagawa Saku asked Mizuki to put the ingredients away one by one, and asked her to deliver half of them to Kawasaki Saki as a thank you gift for watching the stall tonight.
After almost finishing the work, Mizuki looked at the digital bag and asked curiously:
“Brother, what is this and where should I put it?”
“That’s your cell phone.” said Gao Chuanshuo.
“cell phone?!”
Mizuki was startled, “Huh? Why?”
“Sometimes it’s troublesome not being able to contact you, and your classmates all have cell phones, so you should contact them too.”
Mizuki lowered her head: “But, brother, a mobile phone is very expensive, it doesn’t matter if I don’t want it…”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Huazhi and I won’t throw you into the mountains just because you spend money. Besides, you’re so old now, we can’t throw you away.” Gao Chuanshuo waved his hand and said.
“Look, Komachi and the others all have cell phones, Mizuki, you should just be like them and be an ordinary girl.”
“Well, I’m sorry.” Mizuki’s eyes were slightly red, with a touched smile on her lips. She held the phone in her arms, slid closer to Gao Chuanshuo, and leaned on him.
“Thank you, brother.”
Feeling the soft body of his sister, Gaochuan Shuo touched her head, “Well, that’s it, open it quickly, I’ll teach you how to use it simply, and I’ll let Hikigaya Hachiman give you the address of Komachi.”
Hikigaya didn’t waste any time and quickly shared Komachi’s contact address.
At this time!
Mizuki’s new machine settings are almost complete.
“This is Komachi’s contact information,” Takagawa Saku held the screen in front of Mizuki.
Mizuki shook her head.
“Brother, I’ll add you first, and you’ll be my number one contact.”
Although he didn’t know why it was necessary, he understood.
After adding each other’s contact addresses, Mizuki sent him an application message as soon as possible.
“Brother, I’m your sister, please accept my friend request.”
On this application, otherwise it would happen right before our eyes.
I know it’s really Mizuki.
He would definitely refuse and reply, “I don’t like younger sisters, I like young women.”
Mizuki happily chatted with him for a few words, sending some very old-fashioned emoticons, as if the world was full of novelty.
Then she turned around and added Komachi’s contact information.
She leaned on Takagawa Saku, playing with her cell phone and chatting with Komachi.
Happily humming a song on the sofa.
Gao Chuan Shuo felt slightly relieved when he saw Mizuki finally looking a bit like an ordinary girl.
Isn’t it for this moment that people make money?
Seeing Mizuki leaning on him and chatting passionately with Komachi, Gaochuan Shuo felt a little tired. He gently pushed Mizuki:
“Sui Xi, why don’t you add your sister Sha Xi? If she knew you had a cell phone, she would definitely be happy for you.”
“Okay!” Mizuki stood up from the sofa after hearing that.
She originally wanted to go over to visit, but she came back before she even left the entrance.
“At this time, Sister Shaxi should be out. I’ll add her tomorrow.”
Gao Chuanshuo was slightly stunned.
“Why is Saki Kawasaki going out at this hour?”
But the next moment Mizuki seemed to have said something wrong, she was startled and covered her mouth with her hands.
Gao Chuanshuo just looked at her silently.
Mizuki sighed, “Brother, don’t scold me. I promised Sister Shaxi not to tell you, but I think what Sister Shaxi did was wrong. She pretended to be an adult and went to work in my aunt’s store.”
Chapter 48: Pre-release of “Four Lies”! (5/6) (Old version)
Takagawa Saku remembered that Kawasaki Saki said she was going to work part-time.
Saki Kawasaki’s family is a family where both parents work night shifts.
Due to recent social benefits, the factory had laid off employees and cut salaries. Those who were not fired also had heavy workloads and frequent overtime work due to the layoffs.
In addition, Kawasaki Daishi recently went to a cram school…
Saki Kawasaki is the eldest sister.
The economic pressure is indeed not small.
Neon has very strict requirements for underage part-time jobs:
First, the duration cannot be too long!
Second, the time to get off work cannot exceed nine o’clock in the evening!
Therefore, although the hourly wages of part-time and full-time workers are similar, due to the limitation of working hours, their income will be much lower than that of adults.
No wonder she looked so listless in class recently, it turns out she went to work.
Gao Chuanshuo sighed.
Speaking of her aunt, he instantly knew where Saki Kawasaki was.
He knew that Kawasaki Saki would not be in danger there, but this schedule was indeed a bit unhealthy for a high school girl…
I’ll find a way to solve it later.
At worst, after he takes over the store, he can ask Kawasaki Saki to come over and help…
Gao Chuanshuo confiscated Mizuki’s cell phone and told her to quickly run the shower.
Gao Chuanshuo returned to his room.
Gao Chuanshuo took out a flyer for short or medium-length essays from the drawer. It was the flyer from Hakusensha that he had picked up when he was browsing the department store bookstore before.
He remembered his plan.
“Four Lies”: √, signed copy has been completed and will be released soon.
Wait for the harvest!
“Plastic Memories”: √, on the way to animation.
According to the pace of animation production in this world, it won’t take one or two years.
It usually takes about two to three months!
But considering how seriously Mr. Ikuhara takes his work, it will probably take half a year.
But he probably doesn’t have to do anything. He can just wait for the movie to be released and collect the money and depression points.
“Firefly Forest”: ×.
Currently, only “Firefly Forest” is still idle!
Wait until “Four Lies” is released in two days.
I’m afraid the depression value will rise sharply, and by then he will be able to get a new batch of works if nothing unexpected happens.
So he had to copy out “The Firefly Forest” as soon as possible and submit it for publication.
The masked essay contest organized by Baiquan Society is very good. The other party requires a word count of 30,000 to 100,000 words.
Gao Chuanshuo started typing using Kasumigaoka Utaha’s computer.
The animation of this work is only forty minutes.
Because the original short comic only has one chapter, although a special chapter was added later to match the animation.
But it’s not too long, just over 30,000 words in total.
Put it in the online article.
It is just the beginning, but among short and medium-length stories, it is already a qualified work.
If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to finish it in two days.
Gao Chuanshuo’s daily routine has always been relatively regular.
After Mizuki took Ye Yue to take a bath, she came over and called out, asking Gao Chuan Shuo to go take a bath.
He came back and typed a little more!
Feeling a little sleepy, I turned off the lights and went to sleep.
No words all night!
The next morning.
Ends today!
There is still one day left before the official release of “Four Lies”, but as the face of Dengeki Rookie King!
There are many light novel bookstores nearby.
They all put up promotional posters for “Four Lies”, but the content of the posters is basically healing.
There are three lies in “Four Lies”:
1. Xiaoxun said she concealed her physical condition.
2. Xiaoxun lied that she liked Watari Ryota.
3. Kousei Arima deceived himself into thinking he could no longer play the piano.
In fact, the author left a fourth lie.
——That is, “Four Lies” is a healing work.
Passing by a bookstore, I saw posters promoting healing works!
Gao Chuanshuo suddenly became excited!
When the second volume of “Four Lies” came out, the lies were exposed one by one.
I don’t know how much the depression value can increase.
He felt that breaking 100,000 was definitely a piece of cake, and then he could continue to unlock the system’s achievement package.
From this perspective, we are not far from our goal!
However, he knew that he had to keep his reputation tightly guarded!
Try to do this, “This kind of knife reader is Ikaros who did it, what does it have to do with Gao Chuanshuo!”
“What, Gao Chuan Shuo also did it?”
‘I think it must be a misunderstanding…’
Otherwise, before you have gained a certain level of self-protection ability.
Still a bit dangerous!
Got to stay alive!
Takagawa Saku was wearing the school uniform that Mizuki had ironed that morning and was on his way to Sobu High School.
“Brother, I’m at school.”
Gao Chuan Shuo checked his phone and saw a message from Mizuki. He didn’t know if it was because he finally had a smartphone, or if he could contact his brother anytime in the future!
Mizuki did look happy in the morning.
“Remember not to play with your phone during class!” Gao Chuanshuo put his phone in his pocket and couldn’t help but persuade with concern.
“Morning, Gaochuan-san!”
Suddenly, someone tapped him gently on the shoulder.
Takagawa Saku turned his head and saw that it was the little angel Totsuka Ayaka, who was looking at him with a smile as warm as the sun.
“Morning, Totsuka-san.”
Gao Chuanshuo nodded and greeted.
Later, Hikigaya and Zaimokuza also appeared.
“Gao Chuan, look at this!”
They seemed to be talking about something particularly exciting, shaking their phone screens as if they wanted to share it with Gao Chuanshuo eagerly.
He leaned over and took a serious look at the phone screen.
Found a piece of information:
——It probably means that Hideaki Ikuhara has decided on his final work, but the author of the script “Plastic Memories” and the author of “Four Lies” Burning Ikaros are the same person.
“This news has already exploded on the Internet. You know Mr. Ikuhara, he has finally confirmed his final work, and the author of that work is actually this year’s best newcomer. This is bad, I really have to buy “Four Lies” now!”
“Yes, the serialization of “Four Lies” in the magazine was very good. It was very healing. I feel that this will be a big hit light novel. Now I feel that Ikaros is about to take off!”
Hikigaya and Zaimokuza talked at once.
Is it super healing? It seems I must protect my trumpet well.
He ignored the two otakus’ words and then saw the following comment:
“Fuck! Teacher Ikaros is so awesome. I remember that Mr. Ikuhara has been looking for his masterpiece for a long time!”
“I heard that even Mr. Furuhashi’s “Interstellar Journey” was rejected by the old man, and the work of Mr. Icarus was chosen instead! Boom, boom, boom! Mr. Icarus is really going to be popular this time!”
“The serialized version of “Four Lies” made me cry. Mr. Ikaros is really good at writing light novels. His creative level is beyond reproach. I didn’t expect that he can also write such a good script. It’s really amazing!”
“Believe it or not, as soon as this news gets out, ‘Four Lies’ will go on sale tomorrow, and we’ll just start killing people!”
Takagawa Saku was a little surprised, but his brows gradually relaxed, and he immediately forgave Hikigaya and the others for making a fuss in his ears early in the morning!
Look around and read the feedback online!
It seems that the response is good, and it seems that it can also boost the sales of “Four Lies” in disguise. I don’t know how much it can increase!
Click this scene!
They won’t print more copies urgently on the first day!
Gao Chuanshuo is looking forward to the sales of “Four Lies” tomorrow.
Ps: There is one more chapter, which will be posted at about 1 o’clock. You don’t have to wait, you can read it tomorrow.
Chapter 49: The first place in the Sobu High School class! (6/6) (Old version)
Today, at school.
The academic ability assessment just ended yesterday, and many teachers’ teaching pace was relatively slow.
Gao Chuanshuo glanced at Kawasaki Saki, who was lying on the table catching up on her sleep, obviously because of her work in the evening.
He felt that the store matter had to be put on the agenda.
After school in the afternoon, he would go to the store to take a look first, and if it was suitable, he would call Aunt Huazhi to finalize the matter.
After that, Gao Chuanshuo attended classes and read books seriously.
Neon attaches no less importance to academic qualifications than Longguo, and he plans to do so in the next year.
Continue to maintain your first place!
Got a super VIP recommendation and entered a world-renowned university.
Learning things is one thing.
What is more important is to get to know some talented people so that you can better exert the power of yourself and the system!
Reach the peak of life!
However, it may be because the academic assessment on Tuesday has ended!
The atmosphere today seems different from before!
At least compared with the previous few days, they were a little more casual. They started chattering about something as soon as the get out of class was over.
Reading after class is not very efficient!
Gao Chuanshuo simply stopped and drank some water.
Now, he gradually heard some of the content of everyone’s chat, especially the loudest ones in the live-action group, who never had any scruples when chatting.
“Four Lies is going to be released tomorrow. I think it will be hard to buy.”
“Yes, it’s very popular now. I heard that after Hideaki Ikuhara was confirmed as his last work, even the daily magazines that carried “Four Lies” increased their prices.”
“I see, Yuigahama’s house seems to be quite close to the bookstore, why don’t you queue up for me to buy a copy tomorrow? I feel like if I post it on Instagram, there will be a lot of comments!”
“…Okay, okay, it’s fine with me.”
Gao Chuanshuo glanced at the current group.
Didn’t say anything.
He was already very accustomed to this scene.
But what surprised him was that even Yumiko Miura was planning to buy “Four Lies”.
Although it sounds like he just wanted to post on Instagram to follow the trend.
But it also indirectly shows that the influence of the old supervisor is higher than he thought. In his previous life, his influence might be as great as Miyazaki’s.
He suddenly remembered that the other party seemed to have written him a letter.
When he went to sign the contract, editor-in-chief Kagurazaka handed it to him personally, but he never had the chance to read the contents.
Hmm… I’ll open it and take a look when I get home tonight.
At this moment, someone in the corridor suddenly shouted, “Grades are posted!”
The classroom suddenly became quiet!
Suddenly many people rushed out the door.
Sobu High School is a high school with a very high deviation value, so everyone is concerned about its ranking.
Gao Chuanshuo also stood up and prepared to go and take a look!
He was still young and didn’t have the self-discipline to remain calm in the face of adversity, so he was naturally curious about his test results.
Hikigaya and Totsuka Ayaka also caught up.
Unexpectedly, they met Zaimokuza again at the classroom door, so the four of them went to see the results together.
Totsuka Ayaka asked, “Takagawa, how do you feel about this exam?”
“It’s hard to say. It’s a bit difficult.”
“Really? It feels quite easy to me. I have a feeling I will get good results this time!” Hikigaya pondered.
Zaimokuza also smiled and said, “Takagawa and I compared our scores as soon as we left the examination room, and I feel pretty good too!”
As a key high school for entrance exams, Sobu High School doesn’t care about protecting students’ privacy or self-esteem. The academic ranking list is posted on the bulletin board in the middle of the teaching building.
You can catch a glimpse of it every day when going to and from school. The main purpose is to let the top students enjoy praise and let the poor students learn from their mistakes and become more courageous.
Although it is inevitable that there are some poor students who will be proud of their achievements!
At this moment, the bulletin board was crowded with people, and from time to time, exclamations of “how awesome” could be heard.
Zaimokuza made a chuunibyou pose and squeezed in, shouting, “Please make way, so that General Yoshiteru can take a look!”
Hikigaya and Totsuka Ayaka followed in.
Gao Chuanshuo didn’t need to squeeze, he saw his results at a glance.
The top of the leftmost column.
One academic year:
Gao Chuanshuo, Grade 2, Class F, 718 points.
Still as steady as an old dog!
He then glanced down.
Second place in the academic year:
Yukinoshita Yukino, second grade, Class J, 712 points.
Suddenly, I became more alert!
This time the lead is only six points, which seems a little dangerous.
There are only two exams left before super VIP admission, and we cannot fail at this last moment.
How about sending her a copy of “Four Lies” to disturb her…
Gao Chuan Shuo thought with evil humor.
In front, Ayaka Totsuka quickly found her own results.
78 people!
His total score was even one place higher than that of the liberal arts genius Fumino Furuhashi from the next class.
At Sobu High School!
With more than 700 students in a grade, 78th is definitely a good result.
“Congratulations, Ayaka.”
Totsuka Ayaka smiled shyly and said softly, a little embarrassed, “Actually, this is all thanks to Takagawa-kun’s notes. After reading them, my mind became much clearer and I can learn very efficiently.”
“But what about Hikigaya, Zaimokuza and the others…”
After looking at the results, Gao Chuanshuo was a little puzzled to find that they were nowhere to be found.
“I just saw these two people…” As she said this, Totsuka Ayaka took advantage of her petite stature and started searching nearby with Takagawa Saku.
Because the bulletin board is arranged from left to right.
They were in the leftmost column, so they had to keep searching to the right until they found the last column…only then did they see Hikigaya and Zaimokuza standing there with pale faces.
Hikigaya’s body trembled slightly as he stood:
“His Chinese score was only half of what I expected. I think Teacher Jing gave him a zero for his composition. His math score was one point lower than Fumino Furuhashi’s. It’s over…”
Zaimokuza also covered his forehead in pain, with a look of despair:
“Stop talking. My Chinese score is lower than Ogata Rizu’s. It’s over. I’m doomed…”
“Teacher Jing will kill me.”
Great, great, what a perfect pair!
But for other people’s achievements!
He shook his head to show that he could do nothing to help!
Then I looked at the report card again and looked for Saki Kawasaki’s grades. I found that Saki Kawasaki’s grades in other subjects were good and had improved compared to before.
But my score in math was only over 70.
If he could improve his math skills, he would have the potential to get into a key university.
This can’t be left unattended…
It seems that we need to think of a solution!
Just when Gao Chuanshuo was thinking about it in a somewhat hypocritical way.
Yuigahama Yui from the same class ran over from a distance. She held her knees with both hands and called out to Gaochuan Shuo breathlessly: “Gao, Gaochuan classmate, Teacher Jing wants you to go to the office now…”
Yuigahama was bending over, and Takagawa Saku’s eyes were looking higher.
And it didn’t just make him look twice more.
Chapter 50: Special VIP Recommended Mission (Old Version)
After coming to her senses, Yuigahama also noticed Takagawa Saku’s gaze.
She quickly raised her hands to cover her chest, and her pretty face suddenly turned red, as if it was about to bleed.
“Gao, Gaochuan, you’d better go quickly.” She didn’t dare to look at Gaochuan Shuo again. She left after leaving a word and turned around and trotted away.
“What a great development…”
Gao Chuanshuo glanced at the girl’s back and murmured, “But I don’t know what Teacher Jing will say.”
“Teacher Jing, what do you want from me?”
Gao Chuanshuo walked into the office.
Said to Hiratsuka Shizuka.
There were two well-behaved students standing next to Teacher Jing, both wearing school uniforms. One of the girls had outstanding looks and a tall figure. She wore a white headband and had a quiet and elegant temperament.
The other girl was petite, looking only about 1.5 meters tall, wearing red oval-framed glasses, and looked like the cute poster girl in the game.
Gao Chuanshuo had an impression of them… they were the handsome couple who were good at both arts and science…
They also looked at Gao Chuanshuo with curiosity.
Hiratsuka Shizuya raised her head from the documents in her hand.
Seeing Gao Chuan Shuo, he smiled and said, “Xiao Gao Chuan, I called you here today mainly to talk to you about the special VIP recommendation.”
“Isn’t the special VIP recommendation for the end of the second year of high school?”
“This is a long-term assessment. Currently, the most qualified candidates are you and Yukinoshita Yukino from Class J. However, your grades in the past two semesters have always been better than hers.”
“After the school’s agreement, we can conduct an interview with you in advance.” Then Hiratsuka Shizuka continued: “After passing the interview, you can directly enter the interview of major colleges and universities.”
Gao Chuanshuo began to ponder in his heart.
That is to say.
He won’t have to work so hard for exams anymore, and even if he gets zero points, it won’t affect his further studies.
But things couldn’t be that simple.
He already had some vague guesses.
“State the conditions.” Gao Chuanshuo said calmly.
Shizuka Hiratsuka introduced:
“You know these two, Furuhashi Fumino from Class A and Ogata Rizu from Class B…”
“Excuse me.”
The two girls bowed slightly and greeted each other formally.
Gao Chuanshuo glanced at the two girls standing still.
Hiratsuka Shizuka continued, “There is only one condition. In this year, you help these two geniuses improve their grades to the point where they can get into their desired schools. Isn’t that simple…”
“…” Gao Chuanshuo.
It is true.
But this task is damn easy!
These two are indeed geniuses. They have always maintained full marks in Chinese and history as well as mathematics and physics. However, they are at the bottom of the school in other subjects.
They are a pair of extremely biased talents.
How difficult it is to correct them!
It is no less than blasting a hole in the Himalayas, allowing the warm wind from the Indian Ocean to cross the mountains and blow to the southwestern highlands of Dragon Kingdom, transforming it into the Xianglila of the southwest.
“Why don’t you ask the Servant Club for help in this matter?”
Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her legs, a smile on her face: “Xiao Gaochuan, aren’t you a member of the Servant Club?”
“I mean why not ask Yukinoshita, I think she would be happy with this kind of thing.”
Hiratsuka Shizuka knocked on the table.
“From what I know, unlike Yukinoshita, whose basics have always been stable, your grades in junior high school were not very good, but you made great progress after entering high school.”
“At the same time, during this period, the grades of Kawasaki Saki and Totsuka Ayaka have increased significantly. I did some research and they all praised your teaching methods.”
Okay, we found out who the traitor is.
Teacher Jing:
“Of course, the most important thing is that these two geniuses chose you…”
They chose me?
Gao Chuanshuo was slightly stunned. There seemed to be something wrong with this script…
He turned and looked at the two girls.
There was some expectation and hope in Fumino Furuhashi’s eyes.
But Ogata Rizuma on the side also had expectations in her eyes, but she remained calm and restrained, and did not let her guard down before getting an answer.
This development feels a little bit wrong.
But Gao Chuanshuo still thought seriously for a moment:
“I’m sorry, Mr. Jing, I may not be able to do this.”
“You know my family situation. I don’t have enough time to tutor Furuhashi and Ogata…”
Hearing this, Fumino Guqiao was slightly stunned and looked a little disappointed.
Ogata Rizu showed an expression of “as expected”.
It seems that this is really the only way.
They have had nine tutors, including some high school seniors with excellent grades.
But in the end the effects were minimal.
There is still one last chance before the agreement with parents and school: ‘If ten teachers cannot change my mind, I will apply to a university that suits my talents.’
So the last spot.
They were naturally very cautious, and after many investigations, they finally set their sights on a student of the same age, Gao Chuanshuo.
There were times when Gao Chuanshuo’s grades weren’t very good in the past.
Until now, I have firmly sat on the throne of the first place, and I also have the experience of teaching other students to improve their grades.
It is indeed their primary goal!
But if Gao Chuanshuo disagrees, they can’t force him…
If there is no result, no matter how disappointed or unwilling I am, maybe I can only choose a school that suits my talents.
Hiratsuka Shizuka first glanced at the two girls in a soothing manner, then looked at Takagawa Saku and said, “Hey, little Takagawa.”
“This condition was agreed upon by my superiors, and I cannot change it.”
“Don’t worry, I know you have to help your family after school, so the teaching and tutoring will only be done during the school’s lunch break and the rest of your free time, how about that?”
“They both study very hard, so just consider it a favor for them, me, and Mr. Mafuyu.”
Kirisu Mafuyu is the life guidance teacher of Class A and Class B, and also Takagawa Saku’s history teacher.
Seeing that Takagawa Saku seemed a little hesitant, Hiratsuka Shizuka saw an opportunity.
She used her ultimate move!
Hiratsuka Shizuka pressed down on Takagawa Saku’s shoulders, making him feel the pressure that could not be explained:
“Gao Chuan… don’t you want to see these two lovely girls get into the university of their choice?”
Gao Chuanshuo was speechless:
“Isn’t this the time for your teacher to show his personal strength? What does it have to do with me?”
Hiratsuka Shizuka continued:
“You are a member of our Servant Club, the legendary Servant Club that can easily handle all the problems in the school.”
“…The Service Club isn’t such a powerful organization.”
“Damn it, Xiao Gaochuan, aren’t you my male servant? Don’t forget what you said to me when we fired that perverted male teacher together!”
Have things finally come to this? He did promise Hiratsuka Shizuka that he would do one thing for her.
“Teacher Jing, please don’t replace the class representative with such a strange word.”
Gao Chuan Shuo sighed, and he looked up at the two Hiratsuka Shizukas:
“I can try, but I’ll make it clear that if it doesn’t work or I don’t have the time, I’ll give up immediately.”
“Okay!” Hiratsuka Shizuka said, “Xiao Gaochuan, as a legendary member of the service club who can easily solve all the problems in the school, I believe you can do it!”
“I’ve already said that the Service Club is not such a powerful organization…”
Lunch break.
Takagawa Saku did not stay in the classroom to eat with Hikigaya.
He went to the canteen to buy two loaves of bread, then walked to the atrium where some students were eating noisily.
Gao Chuanshuo didn’t bother him and walked right past him, heading towards the special teaching building.
Along the way, there were fewer and fewer people.
Until we came to a classroom at the end with a sign saying “Service Department” on the door.
When I opened the door, I saw the lonely and beautiful figure sitting by the window.
Gao Chuanshuo restrained his emotions so as not to disturb the free, fresh and quiet atmosphere of the other person.
He was just about to say hello!
The girl looked up from the book in her hands and spoke first: “You said last time that you would learn to knock on the door this time.”
“Next time, for sure. What book are you reading?”
“The Lover, by Marguerite Duras.”
Gao Chuanshuo has not read it. His only impression of this book is that Chen Wenwen in “○ Clan” has read it.
“Teacher Jing just pushed a problem to me.” Gao Chuanshuo tore open the package and handed the bread to the girl.
Then he talked about the special VIP recommendation.
Chapter 51: The Second Trip to the Ministry. (Old Version)
Gao Chuanshuo sat opposite them, with a table between them.
The girl’s eyes were lively under her thick eyelashes, and her soft long hair looked like sparkling ribbons under the sunlight.
Listening to Takagawa Saku’s words, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows slightly, but only for a moment, and she quickly focused her gaze back on the book in her hand.
“So, what’s your opinion?” Gao Chuanshuo asked after talking about the super VIP recommendation.
The reason why he came to find Yukino.
Because Teacher Jing said that this matter needs to be kept confidential for the time being, the tutoring activities were chosen to be conducted in the activity classroom of the Service Department.
Then he would naturally have to tell Yukino, the head of the Service Club.
The girl seemed not to want to talk to Gao Chuanshuo. She moved the novel upwards, and the half of her face that was originally exposed was completely covered.
She didn’t even give him her usually cold eyes.
She was so cold, so cold that Gao Chuanshuo couldn’t tell whether the girl was angry or not.
However, this matter was brought up by Teacher Jing.
It’s not his fault.
Gao Chuanshuo ate the bread silently, of course it was his own portion, and then silently read the book on the table.
However, Gao Chuanshuo was a little surprised.
Although there are several popular paperback books, there are also some adventure stories for younger girls.
Judging from the title and introduction of the book, it is a bit like “The Wizard of Oz”.
Gao Chuanshuo was just about to take it and flip through it.
The girl seemed to have noticed Gao Chuanshuo’s actions. She stretched out her fair hand and gently pressed it, then put the book “The Wizard of Oz” into the drawer.
I felt a little bored and waited for a while.
Seeing that Yukino still didn’t say anything, he stood up and pushed his chair away.
Just about to go out.
At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly moved the book in front of her and looked at him with her cold eyes.
Gao Chuanshuo ignored him and chose to leave.
Watching him go away.
A hint of sadness flashed across the girl’s eyes, and she put down the book in her hand.
Just at this moment.
Gao Chuanshuo suddenly poked his head in from the door again:
“I’m not leaving. I just want to buy a bottle of water. What do you want to drink?”
“I don’t need it, just buy your own.”
The girl’s voice was flat, and she looked down at the book in her hands again.
She felt that the boring content in the book seemed to be meaningless now.
After a while, Gao Chuanshuo came back as expected.
In addition to the Coke, he also bought two bags of potato chips.
Why?
Even Mamoru-chan knows that Coke and potato chips go best together.
Gao Chuanshuo habitually pushed one of the potato chips to a position closer to Yukino.
This was the previous habit.
Sometimes Yukino would also bring some snacks like macarons, crepes, and truffles, and she would share half of them with Takagawa Saku.
Then he was too lazy to care anymore.
I started eating my food while checking the LINE messages on my phone.
Just this morning, the official Daicon3 animation studio officially released its work plan for this year.
One is “The Dark Fairy of Explosion” by Yamada Yaoji, directed by Taketo Ikuhara.
There is also a work called “Plastic Memories” directed by Hideaki Ikuhara himself!
Some sharp-eyed people also noticed that the author of “Plastic Memory” is the author of “Four Lies”.
Once this news was released, it quickly spread in the industry.
He received Kasumi Shiko’s congratulations immediately, after all, she was one of the few people who knew the inside story.
But she was obviously also quite surprised.
She knew that the script written by Takagawa Saku could be sold, but she never expected that it would be favored by Ikuhara Hideaki.
It seems that people in the writing community are also discussing this issue.
“The fact that Mr. Ikuhara has chosen a work like this really raises the value of Mr. Ikaros’s Four Lies.”
“I heard that at that time, Mr. Ikuhara was already disappointed with Dengeki Bunko’s previous works, but he took one more look and was instantly moved by Mr. Ikaros’ new work!”
“I also heard that Mr. Ikaros’s storyboard was so good that even the creators of Daicon3 couldn’t refuse it, which is why he was chosen.”
“In short, Four Lies is definitely a work worth looking forward to, and I’m ready to buy it.”
“It feels like there is a rising star in the light novel world like Senjumura Makoto.”
“Indeed, a well-known editor has spoken very highly of Mr. Ikaros. He said that for the publication of “Four Lies” tomorrow, the estimated first-week sales may break the record of Mr. Senjumura Masaru’s first volume, reaching a first-week sales of more than 200,000 copies!”
“It can’t be that exaggerated. This kind of youth campus healing theme, no matter how good the sales are, it can’t compare to the battle and superpower genre. The number of votes on the new talent list of “Four Lies” is not as high as that of “Fantasy Demon Sword Legend” by Senjumura Masaru!”
“I also think that although Four Lies is very popular, it is still very difficult to surpass the sales record of Fantasy Demon Sword Legend.”
“Indeed, the legend of “Fantasy Demon Sword Legend” is so thrilling. The sales of the thirteenth volume reached 500,480 copies in the first week, which is also the highest weekly sales record of the current library. It is higher than the weekly sales records of many comics. I feel that Mr. Ikaros still needs to practice more.”
“But do you think that when you compare Ikaros with Senju Murasaki, Ikaros has already won? After all, he is just a newcomer…”
“Indeed, it’s a bit absurd to compare the weekly sales of a newcomer with the author of Thor, but then again, if this newcomer is Mr. Ikaros, I would actually think it’s normal…”
“I understand you. After all, the two moves that Teacher Ikaros showed earlier were really too awesome!”
“Damn it! I’m a newbie too, why don’t I have this kind of strength?”
“My debut novel hasn’t even been officially published yet, but a work has already been adapted into an animation, wuwuwu.”
Most of them are about expressing emotions, chatting and gossiping, and it feels like these are messages without any substantial content.
He has no interest in weekly sales records, as light novels are meant to be a long-term business.
Besides, although “Four Lies” seems to be quite popular.
But the first edition will definitely not be too large.
Generally, the first print run of a new work is between 1,000 and 5,000 copies, while that of a moderately popular work is between 5,000 and 20,000 copies.
Only works with a large number of fans can reach 20,000 to 100,000 copies.
Only super popular classic works will have more than 100,000 copies printed at a time and have the possibility of breaking 500,000 copies in the first week.
And he guessed.
The first print run of “Four Lies” was probably 20,000 copies, and weekly sales of over 100,000 copies would be his limit.
In the swimsuit group, Gao Chuanshuo couldn’t help but want to catch a piece of potato chips, but he caught nothing.
He was stunned!
When I came to my senses, I shook the bag of potato chips and found it was empty.
No, where are my potato chips?
Then he couldn’t help but look at Yukino, who had her mouth stuffed like a hamster across from him.
Xueno noticed the look Gaochuan Shuo was looking at her, her movements froze, and then she stood the book upright, and calmly argued, “It has nothing to do with me.”
“I didn’t say you can’t eat it.”
Gao Chuanshuo found it a little funny.
I didn’t expect that she would like to eat potato chips.
He suddenly remembered.
Yukino just returned to Japan when she was in junior high school. She was probably under strict supervision when she was abroad before, so she probably hadn’t eaten this kind of common snacks much.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party is taking revenge on him.
After all, he used the classroom that belonged to the two of them to tutor other girls.
This made the girl very unhappy.
This is also speculation.
However, he believes the latter is more likely.
“Does the Service Department have any requests recently?”
Gao Chuanshuo took the initiative to show his friendliness and asked.
“There is one, an office purchase commissioned by Teacher Jing. I plan to go there after school this afternoon.”
Gao Chuanshuo knew the location of the small commodity city. Coincidentally, it seemed to be near the store he wanted to buy.
“I’ll go with you after school.”
Yukino suddenly put down the book and looked at Gaochuan Shuo with curiosity.
Chapter 52: A shopping trip with Yukinoshita Yukino. (Old version)
After school, Takagawa Saku went to the Service Club activity room first, chasing away Hikigaya Hachiman who wanted to drag him to play games.
Then, I plan to go to the shopping street with Yukino.
But I received a message from the other party on the way.
Said she would wait for him outside the school gate.
Gao Chuanshuo thought that walking together after school would indeed easily lead to misunderstandings.
He walked out of the school by himself.
Since the shopping street was right near Sobu High School, they just had to walk.
Just out of the school gate, walking on the path at the entrance.
He saw Yukinoshita Yukino at first glance.
Now is the time for club activities.
There were not many people on the street, only a few elementary school students.
They picked up a stick on the road, shouted “some brave sword”, and chased and played, looking very happy.
Looking at the atmosphere of their group of people, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to like it very much, and even her steps became a little lighter.
Then he turned his head and looked at Gao Chuanshuo quietly with clear eyes, and his cold gaze flashed with a hint of determination.
Gao Chuanshuo was stunned.
“No, Miss Yukinoshita, you don’t want to play this game of pretending to be a hero, do you?”
“Don’t you see? Those are for elementary school students to play with!”
“You’re still wearing the Sobu High School uniform. If anyone sees you, you’ll be doomed!”
Gaochuan Shuo tried to persuade her to give up the idea. This game of picking up a stick and pretending to be a hero, chasing and running, looked very happy.
But high school students are not eligible to play.
“Besides, you don’t have a holy sword.” Gao Chuanshuo hit the point.
Then Xueno pointed to a branch on the road ahead. It was very straight and smooth…
“A Coke, please.”
“I’m not so naive that I can be bought by coke.”
The result was three minutes later.
A beautiful girl was holding a branch, shouting “Look at the sword, scumbag” while chasing a boy who was running away with his head in his hands.
There was an obvious glimmer of pleasure in the girl’s eyes.
Gao Chuanshuo shouted: “It’s not a scumbag, it’s an evil dragon!”
“It’s all the same. They’re all people who will snatch the princess away anyway.”
Of course the girl didn’t really hit him.
Otherwise Gao Chuanshuo would have to ask her to pay more.
Tired of playing around, the two sat on a bench outside the store to rest.
Takagawa Saku was drinking a can of Coke, while the girl was drinking melon soda, which is very popular among Japanese high school students, through a straw.
The girl looked very happy.
Takagawa Saku has seen the schedule that Yukinoshita’s mother gave to Yukino.
I read books and play the piano in the morning, practice tea ceremony and Aikido at noon, read the Chiba Financial News in the evening, and practice horse riding on weekends.
He didn’t have many friends, and was often threatened by his own sister when he went to the amusement park.
There is no group environment for me to integrate into at school, and I am envied and framed all day long.
I guess I really didn’t have any childhood.
Over time, she will lose her ability to socialize, and will be misunderstood as being aloof. This is actually just an external way for girls to protect themselves.
In fact, she is just an ordinary girl.
As I was thinking about it, I felt that it was almost time to rest.
“Okay, Minister, it’s time for us to go shopping.”
Office stationery purchase.
Sobu High School has a corresponding stationery store that has cooperated with the school and the store has sponsored many club activities in the school.
Just bring your list of forms and go!
So this is not a difficult task to accomplish.
As for why it was given to Yukino, Gaochuan Shuo thought that maybe Teacher Jing was just trying to find something for the Service Club to do as a guidance teacher.
The two were browsing in a stationery store.
There are a lot of toys in there that would appeal to kids.
In the past, the girl always gave the list to the store owner.
But today she was full of curiosity about the goods on the stalls, and her clear and bright eyes wandered around.
“This brave holy sword is really beautiful.”
“That’s a fake, Minister. You should know that a true hero never relies on the sword in his hand.”
“Why would a stationery store have car keys?”
“It’s just a lighter.”
While strolling, Yukinoshita Yukino stopped at the back, as she could no longer move her legs.
In front of her was a claw machine.
It was flashing lights, playing attractive sound effects, and most importantly, it was full of Mr. Pan.
Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head!
Looking at Gao Chuanshuo quietly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Gao Chuanshuo recalled the last time he was punished by the claw machine in the game hall.
“You don’t want to play this, do you? Listen to me first, claw machines are all scams.”
“The store owner can adjust the probability in the background.”
Gao Chuanshuo once again persuaded her to give up the idea.
The result came one minute later.
“Boss, change it to 1,000 yen.”
Yukinoshita Yukino stared at the Mr. Pan doll inside and tried to pinch it several times, but she was always just a little bit away from being able to pinch it.
It seemed that Gao Chuanshuo was even more anxious than her.
“How about I do it?”
Chapter 53: Ogata Udon Restaurant! (Old version)
I don’t have much exposure to this kind of entertainment facilities.
Unable to pick it up, Yukino beside her became impatient.
“Then you come and pick it up.”
The girl handed the game coin to Gao Chuanshuo.
Gao Chuanshuo took the coin and took a look at the landing point of Mr. Pan’s doll. It seemed to be very close to the cave entrance.
He couldn’t help but think of the UMR, which was the nameplate hooking technique that Tsuchiya Yui had demonstrated to him before.
At this moment, it is time for him to show his prowess before the people!
He got a little closer to where the grappling hook was.
“Once we catch it, we’ll go shopping.”
Although shopping is fun, it seems like it would be nice to get a Mr. Pan doll as well.
“Pinch it.”
Gao Chuanshuo was half crouching, operating the grappling hook.
Last time, Komari was caught at this angle, so he just had to follow suit and cover it.
“The claws seem to be misaligned.”
The girl looked on curiously.
“It’s okay, it’s here.” Gao Chuanshuo said, shaking his paws left and right, preparing to use inertia to throw the doll down.
Thirty seconds later.
“Can we go shopping now?”
Gao Chuanshuo took Mr. Pan’s doll and looked at the girl who seemed to have discovered a new world.
“Oh, oh.”
Yukinoshita Yukino watched Takagawa Saku answer the phone, her eyes changed from confusion to enlightenment, and finally to amazement.
Exactly thirty seconds.
So this is how the claw machine is played. The girl looked at the other dolls in the machine thoughtfully.
The girl looked at the game coins in Gao Chuanshuo’s hand and pointed to a machine next to her.
“There are still some there, let’s finish clipping the coins first.”
He took a look at the scattered dolls, none of which were in familiar locations.
Gao Chuanshuo gave up instantly.
He waved his hand and said, “You can do it. I want to leave some room for the boss.”
“Then I won’t do it either.”
“It’s okay, go and have fun, don’t waste your coins, the boss won’t say anything to you.”
Anyway, there are only a few coins left, and Gao Chuanshuo doesn’t think the other party can get anything.
Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be thinking about something.
Three minutes later, Gao Chuan Shuo was holding five or six dolls with a confused look on his face.
His pupils trembled.
As a person who has been clamping dolls for several years, Gao Chuanshuo thinks his level is not bad.
Anyway, if you are lucky, you can still catch it.
But today, such cognition!
It took Yukinoshita Yukino ten minutes to completely defeat her.
“Your method of grabbing the doll is really useful. It seems a lot simpler.”
The girl said happily as she settled the purchase bill.
Completely ignoring the shop owner who was frowning, he stared at Gao Chuan Shuo with murderous eyes.
It seemed as if his heart was bleeding, and he looked like he was going to add Gaochuan Shuo to the blacklist.
“……” Gao Chuanshuo suddenly felt wronged.
What does it have to do with him?
I just stole one, and the rest are all thanks to your talent, Lady Yukinoshita.
It’s really unfair.
“Where do you want to go next?”
“Let’s go eat ramen!”
Yukinoshita Yukino pointed with her smooth, white finger to an udon restaurant in front of her called ‘Ogata Udon’.
Although it is an udon restaurant.
But judging from the sign, it seems that they do sell ramen as well.
It happened to be next to the shop that Gao Chuanshuo had his eyes on. Gao Chuanshuo thought it was a good idea, after eating they could go over and chat about the sublease of the shop.
Maybe it was because the club activities were still going on and school was not over yet. There were not many people in the noodle shop.
The person in charge of reception was a shop owner who looked very dignified.
Gaochuan ordered two bowls of ramen.
But the dignified shop owner glanced at the girl waiting at her seat.
Then he nodded and went in to prepare the meal.
“I always feel that this shop owner is a bit aloof.”
Gao Chuanshuo said.
In order to make it easier to eat noodles, Yukino first took off her school uniform jacket, and then tied her hair into a high ponytail in front of Takagawa Saku, revealing her white, swan-like neck.
It’s rare to see Yukinoshita Yukino wearing her summer school uniform.
Gao Chuanshuo couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
“It’s okay. Actually, Uncle Ogata is a very nice person.” The girl said as she tied her hair.
Gaochuan Shuo remembered what Yukino said.
After all, neighborhood relations are also a key factor affecting the overall value of a store.
It seems that the value of the shop next door has increased a lot.
Then he talked to Yukino about the VIP tutoring commission, “Captain, you should have no objection to using the Servant Club’s activity classroom for teaching and tutoring.”
“So, is this the reason you came out with me?” Looking at Gao Chuan Shuo, Yukino’s cold eyes contained a hint of curiosity.
“No.” Gao Chuanshuo felt a little guilty.
“Oh, actually I don’t have any opinion at all.” The girl smiled, like a newly blooming cherry blossom on a branch.
But the girl seemed to have thought of something.
He added: “And if you don’t have enough time, I can go over and help you.”
“Help…are you sure it’s not surveillance?”
“You’re right in saying that.”
“After all, those two students are both lovable, star-level characters in our school. As the head of the department, I must nip in the bud any actions that could bring ruin to the reputation of the service department.”
“Not really. Look, you’re fine too.”
The girl’s cold eyes flashed with impatience, “I don’t care, you are not allowed to have any opinions.”
“You are a rich woman, so you are right.”
Not long after, the owner brought the noodles over on a plate.
He handed it to Yukino first.
Then he handed it to Gao Chuanshuo, and after a quick comparison, Gao Chuanshuo immediately found the difference.
Gao Chuanshuo found that the portion the owner gave him was so big that it exceeded the bowl and piled up into a small mountain.
Yukino’s was a bit smaller, but looked much more delicate and beautiful than his, and looked shiny and bright.
Looking at his slightly sloppy udon, Gao Chuan Shuo was speechless.
No, this is definitely judging people by their appearance and treating them differently!
Gao Chuanshuo was angry!
He wants a bad review!
Just as he was thinking this, “Dad, I’m back. Hey, Takakawa-san, Yukinoshita-san…”
A familiar voice sounded, as if I had heard it somewhere.
Gao Chuanshuo looked up.
Petite figure, red-framed glasses, short bob hair… Gao Chuanshuo reacted.
Isn’t this Ogata Rizu?
Why is she here? Gaochuan Shuo realized that this Ogata Udon is the one opened by Ogata Rizu’s family!
No wonder he felt the name was familiar.
Chapter 54: It turns out that the rich woman has always been by my side! (Old version)
“I’m sorry, Takagawa-san. It must be very difficult for you to be involved in this.” Ogata Rizu looked at Takagawa Saku and said seriously.
It was the same impression as in Gao Chuan Shuo’s mind.
Ogata Rizu plans to study psychology and choose a liberal arts university, while Furuno Furuma plans to study astronomy and choose a science university.
“Ogata-san, can you tell me why you plan to apply for a liberal arts university? If you know the reason, I can help you, right?”
Gao Chuanshuo asked curiously while eating ramen.
If it was just because of the board game Ubongo, Gao Chuanshuo would still persuade the other party to choose a science university.
Ogata Rizu looked at the small tabletop game props in her hand, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke:
“Takagawa-san, I want to make friends. I want to understand other people’s thoughts.”
“I have been quite straightforward since I was young.”
“I can’t understand other people’s thoughts, and I can’t communicate with others to their satisfaction. I always lose when playing board games like Ubon Rush. I have no friends at all.”
“Also…my father is not good at communicating with others. I often misunderstand what he means, which bothers me a lot.”
Yukinoshita Yukino also stopped eating noodles.
She turned her head!
Looking at Gao Chuanshuo quietly, there was a hint of determination in his cold eyes.
Gao Chuanshuo was even confused by what he saw!
But Takagawa Saku is indeed different from Ogata Rizu.
Even though Yukinoshita Yukino didn’t say a word, he quickly understood what she was thinking.
“Have you also decided to help Ogata get into the university of his choice?”
He rubbed his brows.
“Listen to me first!”
“Ogata’s liberal arts level is very poor. Sometimes you can’t do what you want.”
Xue No was stubborn and said seriously: “I have always had good grades, I can do it!”
“You should first check out Ogata-san’s level.”
Gao Chuanshuo took out a set of liberal arts exercises from his schoolbag.
This was the junior high school entrance exam paper he bought for Mizuki, but he hadn’t had time to give it to Mizuki before.
Usually high school students do this.
Not to mention full marks.
It is still easy to get a good score.
Ogata Rizu also realized that the two wanted to learn about her liberal arts foundation.
She didn’t hesitate, picked up the pen and started writing.
After all, it’s a junior high school question!
There are many multiple-choice questions, so they can be done quickly.
Fifteen minutes later.
Ogata Rizu stood up straight, looked at the work that was filled with words, and confidently handed it over to Yukinoshita Yukino.
“Ms. Yukinoshita, I’m done.”
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and took the paper from Ogata Rizu.
She looked at the filled test paper, her eyes changing from confusion to shock to horror.
Isn’t this totally wrong!
Her understanding of Chinese language encountered an unprecedented impact.
Why do we need to use mathematical formulas to prove the emotions of the characters…!
Why do we have to use scientific thinking to analyze whether the question is correct in reality…!
She roughly estimated some scores in her mind!
Correct multiple choice question!
The score is 2 points!
“Mr. Ogata, you did well in the exam. I think you have a good chance.” The girl said with a forced smile.
“Really, Ms. Yukinoshita?” Ogata Rizu became excited instantly!
“Of course.” After saying that, she immediately turned around and put down the test paper, looking at Gao Chuanshuo with a firm gaze, “But since Teacher Jing entrusted this task to Gao Chuan, I’m afraid he has to do it.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be responsible for supervising him!”
Gao Chuanshuo: “Thank you, Minister…”
“But it looks like you two know each other, and you don’t seem to be in the same class!”
Yukino is in Class J and Ogata is in Class B.
Ogata Rizu turned her head and looked at Takagawa Saku seriously and said:
“Actually, I am the only one who knows Ms. Yukinoshita. This Golden Street is owned by the Yukinoshita family. The noodle shop we are in now is under a rental contract signed with Yukinoshita Construction and Real Estate Company.”
Gao Chuanshuo couldn’t do it for him.
No, although he knew that the Yukinoshita family’s industry was mainly in the construction industry, I didn’t expect that there was also a real estate business.
So say it!
The house next door is also Yukino’s. If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have bothered to go there to negotiate.
Gao Chuanshuo sat up straight and tried to make his expression look as sincere as possible.
Little rich woman, I’m hungry, bah… This is a reasonable win-win cooperation, not a gigolo.
“Minister, can I discuss a business with you?”
Takagawa Saku told Yukinoshita the whole story, but he changed the person who was going to open the store from himself to his current guardian, Yuiga Hanae.
Other general contents remain unchanged.
Hear what Gao Chuanshuo said.
Yukinoshita Yukino blinked in confusion, then remained silent for a moment:
“Actually, I don’t get involved in family matters much, but I can call my sister for you. If there are no accidents, there shouldn’t be any problems…”
Ogata Rizu’s clear and bright eyes were obviously full of curiosity. “Takagawa-san, are you planning to open a store next door?”
“That is indeed the plan.” Gao Chuanshuo nodded.
I feel a little guilty about it.
Because they are both in the catering industry, they are actually competitors in theory.
However, the flow of people on this Golden Street is considerable, because it is adjacent to a school and has many security patrol points, so safety is also highly guaranteed.
Gao Chuanshuo has no intention of changing.
Ogata Rizu herself doesn’t really care. Jin Street has a large flow of customers, so having one or two more stores or one or two less stores will have little impact.
But she still expressed her opinion:
“Affected by society, restaurants are now more or less in a cold winter. My udon shop has also been more or less affected. My father is planning to attract more business.”
In bad economic times!
As consumers’ spending power declines, they may dine out less frequently, which will have a negative impact on the operations of gourmet restaurants.
Gao Chuanshuo knew about this!
After all, even the top leaders are issuing policies to support it, so it’s naturally not too optimistic, but he knows that it won’t take long for it to stabilize.
This industry is different from other industries. Restaurants are prone to bankruptcy. About 60% of restaurants will close down in the first year after opening.
Within five years, this proportion may rise to around 80%.
There are many reasons for bankruptcy, but if it is a crisis caused by the industry’s downturn.
Saving is also simple.
Just get the funds in place to hold on, and once the industry recovers, it will be able to come back to life.
Especially a quality shop like Ogata Udon.
Gao Chuanshuo based on impression.
I remember that Ogata Rizu’s noodle shop was really good. After the industry was revived, branches were opened in Hokkaido.
With such strength, there is naturally nothing to worry about.
etc……
What did Ogata Rizu say? Is Ogata Rizu’s udon restaurant looking for investment now?
You have a dream too?
Gao Chuanshuo’s eyes lit up instantly. This was a business that was sure to make money!
Chapter 55: On the eve of the release, other libraries are attacking! (Old version)
It’s just mid-May.
The weather already has a hint of summer.
Takagawa Saku first asked Yukinoshita Yukino’s sister for help and planned to sign the lease of the shop next door.
Because the shop owner next door had signed a long-term lease before.
He was planning to accept the contract, but the other party sent a section chief over and directly opened a new contract.
A rent increase is unlikely.
But Gao Chuanshuo thought that most of them might intend to maintain the lease term.
But this place has a good location, is prosperous, and has a large flow of people. Theoretically, if the social environment is normal, you can make money by doing anything.
So Gao Chuanshuo didn’t hesitate at all, and this was just a hobby anyway.
But what surprised Gao Chuanshuo was.
He thought the rent was estimated to be 120-150 yen/square meter/day.
But it turned out to be only 75 yen.
Although the contract period is five years.
And they also allow a deposit of one month and payment of one month, or monthly settlement!
Not to mention shops!
Even renting a house probably doesn’t offer such a rare treatment.
As a result, he originally estimated that the rent would be more than 2 million yen, but in the end he only spent less than 200,000 yen…
He doesn’t think that’s the case for everyone.
Otherwise, the cost of opening a store on Jin Street is too low. I’m afraid the real estate tycoon may have said something to her sister.
But Gao Chuanshuo doesn’t know any of this.
Anyway, after paying the rent, he still had 6.81 million yuan lying cold in his bank card.
Then he used the remaining 6 million yen to invest in Ogata Rizu’s udon noodle restaurant, holding a 30% stake.
Although the payback period for this money is about twenty times in five years, it is not a problem.
Not huge profits.
But Gao Chuanshuo is not mainly doing this for the money.
I just hope next time he comes over!
Could the presentation of the food be like that of Yukinoshita Yukino, making it look more upscale?
Of course not.
Naturally, he is not so petty as to still feel aggrieved about this matter.
Right?
In fact, the main intention was to help the Ogata family overcome the difficulties, and then hope that the other party could take care of his family a little more in normal times.
After all, there will be more or less competition among stores on the same street, and the Ogata family’s store has some prestige in Golden Street.
Of the remaining 810,000 yen, Takagawa Saku transferred another 300,000 yen to the section chief of the Yangno Company, asking him to help with the application for firefighting licenses and other licenses.
The remaining 510,000 yen was obviously not enough for decoration.
It all depends on the payment cycle of “Four Lies” and “Plastic Memories” tomorrow.
I heard from editor-in-chief Kagurazaka that “Plastic Memories” is in the form of script fee + various profits, and the script fee is initially set at 90 million yen.
That’s right, 90 million yen!
Probably more than one million copies of “The Four Lies”.
As for the detailed division of the profits, Kagurazaka is sending people to negotiate.
But in Japan, screenwriters and directors are both the most important creative staff, and their share of the profits will not be much lower than that of directors.
Unfortunately, it is not a wholly-owned enterprise. Daicon3 Studio adopts the production committee form of production, even if the script fee is finalized.
There are still a lot of procedures to go through for funding!
You may not be able to leave for at least a month!
If you want to earn money for renovation, maybe “Four Lies” or the essay contest organized by Baiquan Society might be faster.
But “Four Lies” will be released tomorrow, and Neon’s printing royalties are in advance!
If nothing unexpected happens, this renovation fund will not last long.
But just at this moment.
Miss Fujii called and Gaochuan Shuo was a little puzzled. He had already signed all 50 copies of “Four Lies”.
I don’t know what else is going on.
“Teacher Ikaros, something terrible has happened.”
Fujii Yuna’s tone was a little angry: “GAGA○Bunko and Fuji○Shobo have teamed up to target our newcomers!”
Later, Gao Chuanshu found out.
There is an established rule in the light novel industry.
During the Newcomer Award cycle, first-tier and above light novel writers often postpone publishing their books until after June.
It’s all about protecting the newcomers!
Avoid the situation where the newcomer is holding a wooden stick as soon as the character is created!
He started off by fighting against a veteran who was wearing a set of +18 magical equipment.
The result is obvious.
Mostly it’s ‘Give me the ball back, I want to go home’.
However, GAG○Bunko and Fuji○Shobo did not follow the rules and directly sent two first-line light novel writers to release new works tomorrow.
Moreover, the works they released have been promoted since the New Year!
It was originally planned to be released in June!
But the schedule was suddenly changed to come two weeks earlier!
It just happened to be changed to the same day as “Four Lies”!
It’s obvious that they are targeting “Four Lies”.
Gao Chuanshuo was still relatively calm.
“The other side waited until today to announce it, obviously to catch us off guard.”
“It’s definitely too late to change the date, so let’s just leave it at that.”
Fujii Yuna seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Although she was also very confident about “Four Lies”, after all, it had already been tested by the market in daily magazines.
But GAGA Bunko and Fujimi Shobo sent two first-line light novel writers.
What is a first-line light novel writer.
Just like the Yamada fairy!
Even if the work is not that good, there will still be a large number of fans who will pay for it.
Uh… I don’t mean to cue Yamada Fairy Sensei.
Just to give an example.
Although everyone knows that his works may not be the best on the list, they are still popular in their own right.
It can also bring huge sales to their works.
“And do you think the situation will be better if we wait until after the summer vacation in June?”
Summer vacation…Fujii Yuuna’s face turned pale.
Winter and summer vacations!
That is exclusive to the real masters, and it is no longer the business of first-line writers.
Perhaps the opponent is the signature and pillar writer of each library.
“Then it seems like we have no choice but to crash into it?” Fujii Yuna asked apprehensively.
In fact, Gaochuan Shuo’s popularity is not lower than that of first-tier light novel writers.
Already gained some fame.
But in theory, this is only his first light novel work, and it remains to be seen whether the popularity can be converted into sales.
This is still unknown.
“Then I will report your opinion to Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka!”
Gao Chuanshuo spoke in a calm tone.
“Well, tell Miss Kagurazaka that there is no retreat for us!”
