I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist

He looked a little surprised.

"What's wrong, teacher."

Sagiri looked questioning.

"Nothing, I just feel that you have become a little more mature than before, and you actually care about others."

He told the truth.

"Because I'm already in junior high school."

Scratching her cheek with her fingers, Sagiri felt a little shy and her face flushed.

"Teacher, you won't always treat me as a child, right?"

She emphasized in her voice.

"To be precise, more like a younger sister."

He thought for a while and said.

The girl is one year younger than Komachi, and she is indeed too young, and this soft feeling makes people want to protect her even more.

"Sister? So this is how the teacher sees me."

Sagiri pursed her lips, her eyes were misty, and suddenly she thought of something.

"In that case, I will call the teacher 'Hachiman brother' from now on, okay?"

"Call me brother?"

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned when he heard this.

"Okay, as long as Sagiri is willing."

He agreed. "Hachi... Hachiman-nii."

The silver-haired loli hesitated for a moment, then tried to say it.

She held her moist face with both hands, and felt the touch was a little hot.

From teacher to brother, it should be considered a closer relationship, right?

"Yeah."

Hikigaya Hachiman replied.

Sanyi Erba means one Sanjiu

After the video ended.

"I actually said it out loud, so shy..."

Sagiri hugged the pillow and rolled on her bed for several rounds, finally stopped, muttering to herself.

...

Just after chatting with Sagiri, Hikigaya Hachiman closed the laptop, took out his mobile phone and called the editor.

"Ms. Sonoko, I want to ask you a favor."

"What is it?"

"I hope the release date can be earlier."

"Huh?"

Machida Sonoko was surprised.

"Actually, the time between the end of "Summer Return" and the release of the first volume of "Steins;Gate" was too long. I took a look at the comments and found that everyone was a little impatient, so this time I plan to give everyone a surprise."

He continued to explain.

"Is that so?"

The other side of the phone fell into a brief silence, and Miss Yuanzi should be thinking carefully.

In fact, he would say this because he had estimated it before and found that it was feasible, so he decided to do so.

First of all, the illustration work has been half completed, and the remaining part will not take long. In addition, the version number has been applied for a long time. The only focus is probably whether the printing factory has enough time and efficiency.

"It's not impossible. Although the early release will lack some publicity time, you, Mr. Tsukiro, have already gained a certain degree of popularity. You don't have to worry about this like a newcomer. I will confirm it with the editor-in-chief later."

Machida Yuanzi replied after careful consideration.

"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Yuanzi."

He said.

"No need to trouble you, after all, I have asked the teacher for help several times."

Machida Yuanzi said jokingly.

In the evening, Hikigaya Hachiman received a call from Miss Yuanzi and confirmed the final communication results.

"Everyone should be very happy to hear this news?"

He thought about it and said. However, he also suffered a loss, after all, if the book is released earlier, the next deadline will come earlier.

If it were me two years ago, I might feel very stressed, but fortunately, he is completely different now.

The next step is to prepare against the clock.

After his request, Machida Sonoko immediately arranged the promotion of the first volume of "Steins;Gate". Because the paintings of the promotional posters were prepared at the beginning, there was no need to worry about this.

Only one day later, the promotion officially started.

Not only some bookstores and websites related to the Fuzugawa Library, but even some tram stations have advertisements, which can be said to be given enough appearance.

"The latest masterpiece of the super popular writer, Tsukiro Mami, the author of "Summer Returns" - "Steins;Gate" will be sold ten days ahead of the original sales date. Please look forward to the arrival of June 6! 』

『Unable to get rid of his chuunibyou, college student Okabe Rintaro founded the "Future Gadgets Research Institute" and produced inventions of unknown purpose every day... However, one day, he accidentally invented a time machine that can transmit electronic messages. He couldn't suppress his excitement about the invention of the century, and kept interfering with the past purely out of interest... As a result, a great tragedy that swept the world befell Okabe and others... In order to avoid the tragedy, Okabe's lonely battle began, and can he overcome his fate! ? 』

The protagonist of the picture on the promotional poster is naturally Okabe Rintaro, and the heroine Makise Kurisu occupies a slightly smaller area. The rest are other characters, and then there is the introduction of the author himself and the introduction of the new work.

This news was very sudden, and even some insiders never expected it. It really gave readers a very pleasant surprise.

"Fuck, is this true? I actually saw the promotion of the teacher's new work? But wasn't there any news before?"

"It's faster than I thought! The teacher's debut work was only completed half a year ago, right? The new work is coming out so soon, the rest time is too short! He is so dedicated!"

"Some people in the industry should really learn from the efficiency of the old thief Yue Xi. He may not update even one volume a year. It's really speechless."

"Hehehe, is the teacher's new work about time again? It shouldn't be about the same theme, right? That would really make you bored."

"Looks like I'm going to have another wife."

"Let's not talk about this for now. Is there any latest news on the animation of "Summer Returns"? I can't wait!"

"Although this request is a bit excessive, I still hope that the teacher's new work can bring us bigger surprises."

“Steins;Gate? What a strange name…but it’s quite a teacher’s style, as long as it’s not like those recent works that feel like the introduction is crammed into the title of the book.”

"I know the plot of the story just by reading the introduction. Based on the experience of "Summer Returns", it will definitely be more painful."

"It's the same time theme. I wonder if the teacher can come up with more tricks this time. Let's wait and see!"

Under his Twitter, there are also some light novel forums and fan groups, and the news immediately became a hot topic of discussion.

Xiao Tongtong @Looking forward to Teacher Yue Se’s new work: Does everyone know it? Teacher Tsukoshi's new work "Steins;Gate" is about to be released! The pre-release date is ten days ahead of schedule, and the teacher must be such a fan! Really looking forward to it! And the illustrations are still done by my favorite teacher Eromanga. I hope the teachers can create better works!

Saori Bagina: Now I know even if I don’t know.

I like Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao: Hum hum, I actually knew it a long time ago.

Xiao Tongtong @Looking forward to Teacher YueSe’s new work: @I like Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao. Is it true? Isn’t it said that this is Teacher Yue Se’s temporary decision? Even insiders don't know.

I like Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao: Huh, of course it’s because I have a good friend of Teacher Yueluo, and what I’m talking about is part of the information about the new game “Steins;Gate”, not the release date.

Xiao Tongtong @Looking forward to Teacher Yueze’s new work: The teacher didn’t form his own fan group, and he didn’t just add people to his friends...so I don’t believe it, unless you tell me!

Saori Bagina: Alas, it feels like chatting has become interesting.

I like Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao: No, not just anyone can add Yue Se as a friend.

Xiao Tongtong @Looking forward to Teacher Yue Se’s new work: You are indeed a liar, you braggart!

I like tide tide tide tide tide: whatever you say, anyway, I don’t need to prove anything to you guy.

While chatting, the two accounts ‘I like Chao Chao Chai Chao Chao’ and ‘Xiao Tongtong’ started to quarrel.

Such a scene appeared in an SNS community called "Otaku Girl Collection" that Wu Geng Liuli joined before.

As you can tell from the group name, the people here are all otakus, and their usual discussions are about games, animation, comics, and light novels.

In the past, she was only interested in topics related to the animation "Maschera", and then diving.

However, after she became a light novelist, the topics she was interested in became the light novels written by Moonlight, Nayuta Kani, and Sei Senjumura. As for other people's works, it was difficult for her to be moved by them anymore. .

At this time, Wu Geng Liuli couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw this conversation in the group.

"Does Hikigaya have any friends? That guy really doesn't just join people casually, so does this guy really have his friends?"

It just so happens that the girl is a relatively serious person, and the person involved is her old friend and respected teacher.

So, she joined in.

Black Cat: @I like Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao. Do you really have any friends with Teacher Yue Se? Despite your trendy avatar, I still want to question it.

I like tide, tide, tide, tide: Huh? Here comes another unknown guy.

Xiaotongtong @Looking forward to Teacher Yueze’s new work: You guys, just bow your head and admit your mistake. For the sake of everyone’s love for fashion, I will spare you.

Black Cat: Of course there is a reason for me to say this, because Teacher Moonlight once guided me, and I will not allow others to take my name.

Wu Geng Liuli knew that this would only lead to a stalemate, so he increased the weight.

This sentence surprised the group friends.

Xiaotongtong @Looking forward to Teacher Yuese’s new work: Shocking!

Saori Bagina: Shocked!

I will always support Teacher Keer: Shocked!

Cun Zheng’s Demon Sword: Shocked!

All lovers of diving light novels came out.

I like tide tide tide tide tide: Oh? I have mentored you, so you are probably also a light novelist, right?

Black Cat: This matter is not important.

I like Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao Chao: Okay, that’s all I’ve said, so I’ll prove it. If what you said is true, then you should also have a teacher’s friend, right? I sent his profile picture.

Attached below is a picture of an avatar, a scene of Chao with her hair drawn by Sagiri.

"Hey, it's actually true."

Wu Geng Liuli went to see something to avoid misremembering, and couldn't help but look surprised.

Black Cat: It’s true. It seems I misunderstood you.

Xiao Tongtong @Looking forward to Teacher Yue Se’s new work: You two are playing double act for me here!

…

Saori Bagina: Okay, okay, everyone doesn’t have to worry about this aspect anymore.

When these words were spoken, more people expressed doubts. In the end, the administrator stepped forward to calm everything down.

Only the people on both sides of the argument knew in their hearts that what they said was the truth, but they did not continue to prove their thoughts to others.

At the same time, they are also wondering, what is the other person's other identity?
