How to Develop a Sick Brother Control

I have no advantage in these two points, so apart from the pre-sale, it is quite normal to draw a gap in the specific sales volume. I wonder if adding the number of pre-sale can make up the relative gap. "

He has regained his composure and is also very calm in the face of this situation, analyzing it objectively.

"It would be great if I could ask Eri to draw illustrations for you, but it's a pity—"

Kato replied smoothly, and then, realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she was embarrassed and forcibly stopped the conversation.

"It's nothing."

Kazuya shook his head and said,

"If the novel can not be cut in half, then when the next volume is published, if you can reconcile with Yingri, then the illustrations will not be a problem at that time."

"Well, I hope so."

Kato replied simply.

"So that's it for now?

Although today's sales survey is a bit worse than I thought, I think it should still be within a sustainable range. The next thing is the same as our previous games. The most important thing is the word-of-mouth feedback from readers tonight. I am still very confident about this, and this is also a part where I have the opportunity to counterattack. After all, this work of Sister Shiyu is a transformation work, and my "Youth Younger" is an orthodox light work. Comedy works, the controversy is not so big. "

"In my impression, the two stories that Aragaki-san wrote before don't seem to be comedy stories, right?

Are you so confident in yourself? "

"of course."

Kazuya nodded slightly and said confidently.

Of course, this confidence comes from the confidence in Hirasaka reading the guy. Although the ending is dreadful, but as a light novel that can be adapted for two seasons and a live-action version, the beginning is still the type of comedy with remnants. Although "Youth Younger" It's not a topical work, but as a general popular work, it is still very worthwhile.

Moreover, although it is a remnant comedy, on the whole "You Shao" still has an orthodox romantic comedy style, that is to say, there are innovations, but in general it is still based on steady progress. Such a work cannot be accepted at any time. contempt.

"I really don't know where your confidence comes from, but since you said so."

Kato shook his head helplessly.

"Hey, I knew I should have let you see the senior critic Taki-kun and An Yilun's evaluation of my classmates. His evaluation of my novel is not bad. It's just the expression of 'Okay?'

"Then should I put on an expression like, 'Aragaki-san is so confident, she is really a genius light novel writer, she's really amazing'?"

Kato replied solemnly.

"Well, that's not necessary anymore."

Kazuya scratched his head blankly and smiled softly.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that this was the first time he had such a relaxed expression during the conversation with Kato in over a month.

"Partner", Kato also showed helpless, relaxed, or mocking smiles in front of Kato. It is definitely not uncommon, but this time, it was the first time in more than a month that he showed such a smile in front of Kato. smile.

"Aragaki-san, what's wrong?"

"Uh, nothing."

Looking at Kato's puzzled expression, Kazuya shook his head embarrassedly. He didn't want to admit that he was happy because he realized that he finally smiled in front of Kato, but he still felt this way. hope to convey,

"However, it feels like we haven't had a conversation like this for a long time?"

"Really long time no see?"

"Of course, I can't remember the last time such a light-hearted conversation was."

"is it?

it seems to be like this. "

Kato asked and answered himself, and then he also showed a somewhat nostalgic expression,

"Ah, it turns out, that feeling is this feeling."

"Wait a minute, what does that feel like?"

"Well, I don't think it's necessary to tell Aragaki-san about this feeling."

"Hey, Kato, is this feeling very personal?"

"En, not really. I just think that Aragaki-san didn't tell me what you think, so I won't tell you what I think now. This should be considered a balance, right?"

"Hey, how can it be calculated like that?"

He also showed a helpless expression,

"At least it should, uh, Kato?"

Kazuya, who was stunned when he suddenly noticed Kato's relaxed expression, followed Kato's gaze.

Then, he saw the bright blond hair, and the iconic ponytail.

Wearing a cool-toned coat and high boots that didn't match her usual atmosphere, it gave Yingri an even more glamorous atmosphere. She was still holding a light novel tightly in her hand. From the cover, there is no doubt that it is "My Few Friends" just published by Kazuya.

The slightly tired face was a little pale from the cold wind, but this did not hinder her beautiful face and fascinating blue eyes.

Eri Sawamura, who had not seen each other for almost a month, stood there abruptly and looked at him and Kato silently.

If he hadn't seen Kato's dazed eyes, Kazuya almost thought that this was another scene that Kato arranged for him.

"Encounter", but he quickly reacted to know that even if it was a chance encounter, Kato would not let him see Yingri when he was with him.

"Why did you come to Hehe City?"

The words of shock were blurted out almost unprepared.

"What's wrong,"

Ying Riri's eyes are cold, even when she told herself that she wanted to calm down, even in the ten years of the cold war between the two, she never showed this expression to Chao He, this is the one she usually shows to others. The boy looked at the expression of refusal from thousands of miles away, and this time, Yingri Rizhaoka also showed this expression.

"What's wrong,"

Ying Piri replied coldly,

"Can't I come to Hehe City?

When and also can you restrict my personal freedom? "

"Well, that's not what it meant,"

Kazuya looked at Eri Li like this, and then looked at Kato beside him, and said somewhat at a loss,

"That, and then Kato's words—"

"—There's no good explanation, you and Kato came to see Shiyu Kasumigaoka's book signing, right? That's my purpose, right?

It's just that I didn't come with you. "

"not like this."

Kazuya opened his mouth and tried to explain, but what he got was Eiri's quick turn and left.

"Sorry, Kazuya, I don't know if this is the result of your cooling off. If it is, I think I can congratulate you. If not, then we are still in a cooling-off period, right?"

"Listen to me, Eiri, it was a coincidence."

Kato also joined the ranks of persuading Eri,

"At least Aragaki-san didn't want to take the initiative to find me."

However, what was left for the two of them was the back of Ying Lili and her trembling words:

"Originally, I'm an idiot, why am I looking for this book, if I don't come, I won't be able to read it, right?

So, why, why should I do this! "

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Without giving Kazuya a chance to explain further, Yingri's choice was to turn around and leave firmly. Even though she was sensible, she could analyze many doubts about this unexpected meeting, and she shouldn't be with Kato and Kazuya. The situation caused too much suspicion, but after seeing Kazuya for the first time after a month of cold war, the feeling of being betrayed, deceived, and deceived with his good friend made Yingri Completely incapable of making a sensible choice.

On the other side, Kazuya could only helplessly watch Yingri leave at an unpleasant speed. He also tried to catch up to explain something, but he sadly found that the words he explained were so weak, and in the end, He also just stood there blankly, watching the disappearing back of Inri.

"Aragaki-san, I'm sorry."

Kato's soft voice reached Kazuya's ears,

"I was too careless, I should have expected this situation, sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. If you're sorry, or we've deliberately avoided Yingri from finding out, it doesn't seem like we really did something wrong, doesn't it?"

Kazuya shook his head and denied Kato's words.

"kindness."

Kato nodded meekly, like a well-behaved cat.

"That guy Ying Lili, both of us can't be more clear, don't look at how cruel her words are, in fact, her heart is very soft, as long as the problem is solved and everything is explained to her clearly, then It'll be fine."

Kazuya swallowed and explained to Kato, of course, this sentence is both an explanation for Kato and a self-comfort for Kato.

I don't know why, when I used this sentence to explain Yingri's behavior, Kazuya thought of Shiyu inexplicably. In my impression, Shiyu seemed to have said similar things in the conversation with him just now, but then It seems to have been a long time ago, but Kazuya, who had already forced himself to put Shi Yu down, still forcibly stopped his wild thoughts and quietly waited for Kato's reaction.

"kindness."

However, Kato still nodded gently and was unable to say anything else.

"Uh, that, Kato, you give a little other reaction too,"

Kazuya said with a wry smile,

"You look like this, and I'm also very worried."

"Then what kind of reaction does Aragaki-san want me to have?"

Kato asked indifferently.

Looking at Kato's expression, Kazuya was stunned, and Kato, who put away his emotions, had an attitude that was almost indifferent on his face, which made him a little confused about what the other party was thinking. ——It seemed that she had no idea what she was thinking since before.

Finally, Kazuya shook his head helplessly and said:

"Okay, I get it, in short, let's go back today!

Anyway, thank you for your hard work today. "

"Well, so be it!

Aragaki classmate. "

For the third time in a row, Kato repeated in a flat tone that Kazuya couldn't understand.
