I am a master of light novels in Japan

"Mr. Kashiwagi, you are here, please come to the office with me." Kagurazaka Ayame walked out of the editorial department, and said with a smile after seeing Yingliri.

"Yes." Ying Lili said in silence for a moment.

Not only the clerical department outside, but also the editorial department inside, it seems that they are also preparing something, meetings, meetings, and work. Basically, I don't see anyone relaxing.

"Editor Kagurazaka, are there any major events in the company?" Ying Lili asked curiously.

"Yes, it hasn't been so lively for a long time."

Kagurazaka Ayame, who was walking in front, smiled, and didn't say anything in the corridor.

When I walked into the office, Kagurazaka Ayame poured coffee for Yinglili and sat opposite her.

"Teacher Kashiwagi, I have read the original picture you sent me." Kagurazaka Ayame said with a smile.

"Yes, where there is still need to modify, you can say, I will try my best to complete the modified version this morning." Ying Lili said with serious eyes.

Kagurazaka Ayame was silent for a while, and said, "Actually, I have always been quite satisfied with your work. After all, as an editor, I always think your style and artistic conception are more consistent with "Super Academy War", but recently I also found a problem. This is not your fault, nor is it the fault of Uesugi teacher, but a serious misjudgment in my editing work."

"Eh, misjudgment... Editor Kagurazaka, although I only worked with you for a relatively short period of time, I know your ability to work, otherwise Sanwa Bunko would not give you so many excellent writers. Isn't it?" Ying Lili was slightly startled, then asked puzzledly.

Kagurazaka Ayame said: "No, this is indeed my mistake. I apologize to you for that. I have always been adhering to the principle of commercialization. The illustration requirements for light novels must be sufficiently beautiful and generous. This is I’m the only choice for choosing pictures. However, Mr. Uesugi recently approached me and told me that Ms. Kashiwagi’s illustrations differ greatly from his style of work. I have been researching recently and confirmed that my previous judgments have indeed come out. problem."

Ying Lili's face was ugly, and she asked, "I don't understand. Isn't the evaluation after publication very good? Why..."

"Well, it's very good. After all, Miss Baimu is the heavyweight painter that our company fancy. We firmly believe this. However, light novels have continued the traditional illustration ideas, and most of them are inclined to urban, magical, and love themes. The novels of the department, especially those written by Uesugiyan, are the first time our company is responsible for the promotion... The problem caused by lack of experience is: too static and beautiful illustrations, but the reading of the passionate novel is delayed. "Kagurazaka Ayame explained.

Ying Lili immediately understood that, indeed, the illustrations of "Super City Academy" seem to be mostly static paintings, and dynamic paintings, especially the wonderful fighting illustrations, are currently not arranged.

A passionate novel, of course, needs wonderful illustrations of fierce fighting.

Kagurazaka Ayame looked at Ying Riri, and calculated the steps of the proposed substitution plan in her mind, and asked: "So, after a comprehensive discussion in our editorial department, I hope you can illustrator other writers' works. From three promising urban love works..."

"Wait!"

Ying Lili suddenly reached out and stopped Kagurazaka Ayame's suggestion.

With a sense of loss and unwillingness, she said to Kagurazaka Ayame: "Editor Kagurazaka, although I know that my painting style and skill are not mature enough, and I have made mistakes in the design of the work, but... Let me communicate with Teacher Uesugi. I want to continue to complete his fourth volume illustration and even the subsequent stories. I want to continue working together."

"...Kashiwagi-sensei, are you really going to keep working together?" Kagurazaka Ayame looked at her in surprise and asked.

Ying Lili nodded and said, "Although I am only a freshman, I have always been proud of my painting. My family also silently supported the career I chose. I secretly ran out to do my best illustration work. In order to add the most perfect illustration to this work, rather than shrinking from it."

"..." Kagurazaka Ayame looked at Ying Lili with a firm expression. After thinking for a while, she took out a piece of paper and wrote a mailbox.

"Okay, I understand. I will not arrange for a new illustrator to come over for the time being, but all the illustrations in the fourth volume have to be replaced, which is a lot of work. Teacher Baimu, our company will prepare the relevant compensation, but I will give you the time, I have to give me a brand new illustration before next Wednesday, okay?"

Kagurazaka Ayame asked with a faint smile.

"Forget the compensation, I don't want to take it, but the time is... next Wednesday... can't we give more time?" Ying Lili asked in surprise.

"No, even I can't fight for it. You can see. The company is now mobilizing all staff to work overtime, and all departments are busy. We will publish ten new works on Monday next week, two of which are expected to be ten. Popular works sold by 10,000 copies, the fifth volume of "Love Metronome", and the fourth volume of "Super City Academy", are sold on the same day and at the same minute."

Kagurazaka Ayame shook his head, his expression gradually becoming more serious.

"..." Ying Lili didn't understand much at first, but gradually, she understood something and asked: "What the hell is it?"

"Uesugi Yan and Xia Shizi, they will be able to determine the winners and losers in sales in the next week and next week. Our Sanhe Library has been hyping this explosive activity since noon yesterday."

Kagurazaka Ayame blinked at Ying Riri, showing a wicked smile.

...

Room 405 of an apartment in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

With Li Yan's stern face and supervision from the side, even Gabriel of the Fallen Angel had to be subdued, and gave up two hours to read the fourth volume of almost 130,000 words, and then used it again. It took an hour to mark the location and comments of the modification, and then Li Yan left with satisfaction.

"This guy just wasted three hours of this lady's precious time."

Gabriel lay helplessly and tiredly on the table, talking to herself.

She looked at the closet and asked, "Winnedy, how long do you plan to hide in it? That idiot has already left."

"Eh?!"

Suddenly, Vinnette in the closet made a surprised sound. She hesitated for a while before pushing the closet open, and said with a wry smile: "Well, you know I'm hiding there."

"Otherwise, the corners of your clothes are always tucked outside, and you are the one who can get the key into my room." Gabriel narrowed her eyes and said.

"Huh, is this... By the way, that man, what is your relationship with him?" Weinet blushed slightly and asked nervously.

Gabriel said annoyedly: "He is a writer in Room 505. Bring me the most recent work to read and ask for suggestions for improvement. Really, don't you think such a guy is super troublesome? When he gets fierce, it seems like Want to be the same as me."

"After all, you are a bastard who repents at any time." Weinet said with a smile.

"..." Gabriel looked at the demon in silence.

However, during the whole incident, Winnett only saw two people revising the manuscript, occasionally there was no exchange of a few words.But to Winnett’s surprise, Gabriel actually worked hard for the man named Li Yan once.

Winnet looked curiously at Gabriel, who was already wearing sportswear. For what reason would the fallen Gabriel be so careful that the fallen angel could change...

"Li Yan, I remember this name."

Weinet looked at Gabriel whose hair gradually began to split and began to throw garbage everywhere, thought.

...

Li Yan, who received the amendment, returned to his apartment and devoted himself to the final writing sprint.

"What an amazing angel, I want to get all these plots... It is really a bystander, and a fan of the authorities. It will indeed be more exciting to write this way." Li Yan looked at the label, secretly surprised.

He considered whether to add the name of Gabriel to the famous characters or write a thank you note at the back of the book.

Suddenly, he inadvertently saw on the balcony, another piece of mystery cloth fell onto his balcony.

"...Uh." Li Yan narrowed his eyes and sighed helplessly.

But when he walked to the balcony to pick it up, he saw that it was not underwear but a convenience store bag. At the same time, he smelled the smell of beer blowing from upstairs, and heard that Eiri Rika clearly doesn’t drink, and is drinking. The sound of a violent cough after drinking.

Chapter 15: The Amazingly Beautiful Girl Painter

In the night scene of Tokyo, the night breeze is slightly cold and the stars are shining.

On the balcony on the sixth floor, it was enough to see a certain aerial view. Ying Lili was wearing sportswear and her long golden hair looked dazzled. After she drank the third can of beer, her consciousness became a little confused.

What happened today is like Waterloo in her career as an artist. She was suddenly discovered by Miss Kagurazaka Ayame. Her first job was directly as an illustrator for the popular work "Super Academy War". She almost gave up on the club. The event, the opportunity to participate in the competition, the sale of the next work, and the wholeheartedly designed illustrations for Uesugiyan’s work. In the end, he received a total denial from that writer.

Ying Lili, who has always been praised as a genius by friends and family, became the backbone of the school’s animation department in her freshman year. She has always been a star of C89. She has never suffered such setbacks. She directly dragged some relationships and bought this. A box of beer, drink to ease your sorrows on the balcony.
