"Oh, is that so? Please wait a moment, sir, and I will notify the review editor."

"Ok."

Hamura nodded.

After a while, the girl who was the receptionist came over with a smile and made a gesture of invitation, "Sir, please come with me."

"Ah."

Hamura followed the girl and came to an office on the first floor.

thump-thump-thump-

The girl at the front desk knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

A mature female voice came from the room.

The receptionist girl gently opened the door, then gave up a seat, and made a gesture of invitation to Hamura, "Sir, please go in, the deputy editor-in-chief is waiting for you."

"Thank you."

Hamura nodded, and went straight in.

This is a nondescript office. When you walk in, the most conspicuous thing is a woman with short black hair who is sitting at the desk and sorting out the manuscript. She looks like a mature woman in her thirties.

Chapter 28 Sonoko Machida in amazement

The moment the door opened, Sonoko Machida put the manuscript aside and raised her head.

Walking in in sight was a boy with blue shattered hair and wearing casual clothes. The boy was sunny and handsome, with a slender and tall figure. He was the type who could fascinate thousands of girls walking on the street.

Of course, Machida Sonoko noticed that the first impression of this boy was not his charming appearance, but his calm and confident temperament.

"This boy is not simple!"

This was Machida Sonoko's first reaction.She has been working from an ordinary editor to deputy editor-in-chief for nearly ten years. She has been in charge of reviewing the works of many authors, most of which are directly submitted to the company's mailbox, and a small number of novice authors directly bring their manuscripts to the library in person. Contributed by.

Among the novice writers who came to submit their manuscripts in person, no one could be so calm and calm after bringing the manuscript in front of her. Most of them were very nervous and even sweating profusely.

Of course, if it is an author with a certain reputation, I believe he can face her calmly, but such an author naturally does not need to come to the company with the manuscript to publish a new book.

So Machida Sonoko judged that this young man should be a novice author, not only because the young man came to the library with the manuscript to contribute, but also because the young man was very face-to-face.

However, it cannot be completely determined just by looking at it, because others may have released works in other libraries.

"Hello, I'm Machida Sonoko, the deputy editor-in-chief of Undead River Bunko."

Machida Sonoko took the initiative to stand up, wearing a neat and capable black OL professional uniform, with a faint smile on her face, she looked very professional, and also revealed the mature charm of a woman.

"Hi, editor Machida, my name is Otsutsuki Hamura, and I'm here to contribute."

Hamura responded with a chuckle, and lightly shook hands with Machida Sonoko's jade hand.

"Mr. Otsutsuki, please sit down."

Machida Sonoko made a gesture of invitation with a smile, Hamura nodded, and then sat on the chair specially arranged on the opposite side of the desk.

Seeing that Hamura was seated, Sonoko Machida also sat down. The politeness that should be shown has been done, so you don't have to be polite. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Hamura is not a simple character, she would not get up and talk to Hamura at all. Fanfare.

She got straight to the point and said: "Mr. Otsutsuki, are you here to contribute? Then please hand over your manuscript to me for review. If it meets the signing standards, we will discuss the next matters."

Hamura nodded, then took out a notebook from his handbag and handed it to Sonoko Machida.

That casual movement, as well as the black leather notebook, made the corners of Machida Sonoko's eyes twitch violently.

Fortunately, Machida Sonoko is not the kind of person who is more rigorous and pays attention to superficiality, otherwise, just because of Hamura's casual actions without paying attention to etiquette, she will mark the boy opposite him as OUT in her heart, unless the other party's book can be far away. Beyond the signing standard, it is a rather dazzling work that can escape this fate.

But the black leather notebook made her a little unacceptable.If this notebook is a manuscript, then it must be written by hand, but in this age of advanced technology, even the older generation of traditional novel writers can count the ones written purely by hand.

But after being surprised, Machida Sonoko took the notebook, it doesn't matter whether it is typed or handwritten, as long as it is a wonderful novel, but she is not optimistic about this novel in her heart.

"Mr. Otsutsuki is writing a novel for the first time, right?"

Sonoko Machida opened her notebook casually and asked.

"Ah."

Hamura nodded calmly.

"Never tried to write before?"

Sonoko Machida continued to ask, looking at the pages of the book, looking at the four large characters written on the first page, and secretly said: "Sword Art Online, what kind of book is it?"

Hamura shook his head, "No."

Machida Sonoko was even less optimistic about this book, "But Mr. Otsutsuki must have read a lot of novels, right? If you read too much, you will also have the idea of ​​writing a book yourself. Most of the authors I have met are like this."

"Actually, there are only a handful of novels and light novels I've read."

Hamura explained frankly: "I will try to write this light novel, but I heard that this industry is very profitable."

The corner of Machida Sonoko's mouth twitched, he laughed and said, "Mr. Otsutsuki is really...frank!"

Then he turned to the second page, "Although this is a game, it's not a joke."

"A light novel of the online game genre?"
