Depressed writers, the whole network begs you to stop writing

Chapter 66: Meet Miss Kamisaka Raku again to discuss the content of the next volume of "Four Lies"!

The next day, Lucy’s Cafe.

The place where Yu Nanabahara and Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka met for the first time.

This cafe is not big in Chiba, but it has a nice environment. The owner is an uncle in his thirties. In addition to coffee, he also makes omurice rice very well.

There is also a part-time female employee in the store. She is quite beautiful. I heard that she is a student of Chiba Institute of Technology. He doesn't know her specific name.

But I heard the boss call her ‘Miss Okudera’, so I guess her surname is Okudera.

Nanabahara Yu ordered an ice cream and joked:

"Boss, there don't seem to be many customers?"

He comes often and is familiar with the boss, so it’s okay to joke around occasionally.

The cafe owner shook his head and smiled:

"The location is not good. You kids don't like coffee. Maybe it would be better to choose a location close to the company. If business is not good this month, I may have to move."

Nanabahara Yu: "No, boss, I haven't even had enough of your omelette rice. Besides, what will happen to Ms. Okudera if you leave?"

Miss Okudera echoed with a smile:

"If you, boss, move away, it will be really hard to find a job with low wages if you have so much free time!"

Cafe owner: "..."

The three of them chatted one after another.

Not long after, a familiar figure slowly stepped into the store door.

She was wearing a serious navy blue women's suit, and her short brown hair looked very capable.

When she saw Yu Nanabahara, she showed an elegant smile:

"Yu-kun, I've been waiting for a long time."

Nanabahara Yu stood up and said hello: "Hello, Miss Kagurazaka."

He took advantage of the situation and helped Kagurazaka pull out her chair.

Kagurazaka sat down and said with an annoyed look: "This year's 'Twitter Cup Light Novel Contest' is about to start. I have a lot of popular works here, and the review has taken a while. I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter, I just arrived a while ago."

Nanabahara Yu took the napkin, wiped Kagurazaka's tabletop naturally, and handed her the menu.

Kagurazaka was a little surprised and said with a smile:

"Yu-kun is so considerate, you must have had many girlfriends, right?"

He was handsome, talented, and so considerate. If she had been in college for two years, she might not have been able to help but pursue him.

Kagurazaka laughed dumbly.

Yu Nanabahara: "Mother-born SOLO, but I have a younger sister at home, so I'm used to it."

Kagurazaka joked: "Then I, an old woman, still have a chance."

Nanahara Yuichi raised his eyebrows: "Of course, my bed is always open for Miss Kagurazaka."

Kagurazaka laughed "hehehe":

"I'm glad to hear you say that, but without further ado, let's get down to business."

"Qiang——" Kagurazaka immediately took out a large stack of envelopes, "These are fan mails sent to Bunko."

Nanabahara Yu took the stack of envelopes somewhat unexpectedly.

He flipped through a few letters.

I found that most of them encouraged him, praised him, and urged him to update the next volume of "Four Lies".

Seeing so many people praising him, Qin Yuan Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, feeling a little happy from the bottom of his heart.

He decided to repay such loving fans. He wants to release the next volume soon.

Seeing the boy's smile, Kagurazaka also smiled while holding her little face.

Isn't this what I, as an editor, should do if my authors can write happily?

After reading several emails in a row asking him to give birth to a monkey, Yu Nanabahara was a little tired of it.

Then he asked curiously:

"Ms. Kagurazaka, what's the 'Twitter Cup' you just mentioned?"

Kagurazaka: "This!"

“This is a contest where light novel fans nationwide vote on Twitter to choose the winning novel!”

"Because the voting coverage is wider, the content of the entries is richer, it is more difficult to stand out, and the bonuses are also very rich. Not only the grand prize bonus reaches 5 million yen, but even the gold reward is 3 million yen, so it has always been relatively valuable. Light novel competition.”

"Not only that, even the selection of "Qing Li!" will also refer to the results of the Twitter Cup to a certain extent!"

"But you probably won't be able to participate. Registration ends this month."

"You just need to prepare your new book for the summer."

"..."

After hearing this, Nan Yuan Yu secretly pondered.

The Twitter Cup prize money actually reaches 5 million yen!

The prize money he received from the Dengeki Novel Grand Prize was only 3 million yen.

But compared to the bounty, he values ​​​​the following "Qing Li!" 》Selection!

Baodao Society's "Qing Li!" 》Selection.

As a grand event in the novel world every year, he naturally didn’t want to miss it!

No surprises.

He should be the new sales king this year.

But he didn't want to just focus on the newcomers. Those newcomers had many talents and no challenge at all!

Nanabahara Yu tapped the table with his fingers and said calmly:

"Miss Kagurazaka, I would like to use the second volume of "Four Lies" to sign up for the 'Light Novel Twitter Cup'!"

Kagurazaka was startled:

"Hey, the second volume of "Four Lies"?"

"Registration ends in one month. Can you make it in time?"

Nanabahara Yu:

"I have already made an outline plan for the second volume of "Four Lies". I can write it within a month."

He looked at Nanabahara Yu with a serious look on his face.

Kagurazaka is terrified!

He was really afraid that Nanahara Yu would compete in the competition.

This would cause a work that could hit a million copies to fall from the altar.

"Yu-kun, we can also participate in the Twitter Cup next year. What's more important for us is to maintain the quality!"

"Don't rush when writing a book!"

As Nanahara Yu's editor-in-chief, she is very qualified to stop him from doing such a stupid thing!

This is her responsibility and obligation!

Nanahara Yu said helplessly:

"Don't worry, I really have done the outline and planning, there will be no problem with the quality!"

Kagurazaka said with a look of doubt:

"Have you really done the planning for the second volume of "Four Lies"? "

Nanahara Yu nodded.

In fact, he had already finished writing "Four Lies".

But if he took out the finished manuscript now, Kagurazaka would definitely go crazy.

Of course, it is also possible that Kagurazaka is not crazy, and then thinks he is crazy, and sends him to the hospital to increase the dosage!

At the very least, there is a high probability that he will not pass the manuscript, because the ending is too different from the expectations.

Nanahara Yu came today to do some ideological work on Miss Kagurazaka in advance and prepare for the publication of the second volume.

"It's like this, Miss Kagurazaka, you have read the first volume of "Four Lies", what do you think is the theme of "Four Lies"? "

"Isn't it a healing love comedy?"

Nanahara Yu nodded.

"I did write in this direction at the beginning, but my favorite and most respected teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, thought that such a plot was too ordinary and too common."

"In addition, the recent hot discussion on the forum about "Four Lies" made me think more deeply!"
