The last week, for Shi Yu, was a week that almost forced her to collapse. With Kato's help, she met Kazuya again, in exchange for an ending in which the wound was torn open and strengthened again. In the publication of his confident novel, he was hammered in the head again.

The mistakes in handling the style of novel writing are not only the responsibilities and risks that the author needs to bear, but also the place where the editor is responsible for reviewing. This time, Machida, who has always been known for his sharp and accurate review style, did not find this loophole. Shi Yu felt very surprised.

Vaguely, Shi Yu noticed that Machida's mistake was related to her job-hopping. As a talent introduced by Mystery Bunko, Machida not only tied Shi Yu, a gold-sucking author, to her big boat, but also was responsible for it. Taking responsibility for the unfamiliar publicity of the Mystery Library, it can be said that Machida's goal this time was not simply to become the editor-in-chief, but to try to develop the Mystery Library into a library that can be compared with the Fantastic Library.

This also caused her to focus most of her energy on the promotion of Shi Yu's novels, while ignoring the review itself.

This is Machida's confidence in Shi Yu's ability, and from the results, Shi Yu has indeed written a good enough work - provided that she does not switch styles.

As for why she made such a low-level mistake when writing the second volume of "The Streets of That City", Shi Yu vaguely had an answer in her heart, but this time is not the time for her to think about this question. It's time, for a week in a row, she and Machida spent a week in Bunko's office, doing the follow-up work of making up for this matter - although this kind of make-up work only made her novel barely surpass the previous reputation in terms of sales. And also a new work.

After retaining Shiyu's fan base, so that Shiyu's core fan base will not be affected by this turmoil, Machida's attempt to use Shiyu's novel publication to gain a firm foothold in Mystery Bunko, and let Mystery Bunko in one fell swoop in youth Plans to secure a place in the publication of novels on campus went bust.

In the Mystery Library, many employees who were dissatisfied with Shi Yu's airborne landing had also begun to brew a turmoil against Machida.

Of course, even if Machida falls, his position in the mystery library should not be greatly affected. After all, Kasumi Shiko's stable fan base is still an important reliance on the mystery library, which is preparing to enter the youth campus novel.

However, Kasumigaoka Shiyu is a person who attaches great importance to feelings. Machida excavates himself and is the most tacit editor who cooperates with him. If he really abandons Machida at this time, then Shiyu himself will be uneasy.

What's more, after Yu and Ye broke up, Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu, who had always been lonely, almost cut off contact with everyone else who was in Kazuya's identity. At this time, the person who can best support her and make her trust the most is Machida is gone, so although she only needs to cooperate with Machida's arrangement to do public relations, she still insists on staying beside her editor at this time, expressing her unconditional trust and support for the other party.

And the phone call to Kazuya was also Shi Yu's first contact with the outside world in a week.

Maybe given Shi Yu countless chances, she would not choose to make this call - in fact, before she dialed Kazuya's number, she was just trying to delete the other party's number in her mobile phone.

However, she dialed the other party's number in a strange way, which made her even more surprised that Kazuya, who should have made a decisive opposition gesture to her, actually answered the phone with a normal attitude.

"Good evening, Senior Sister Shiyu, may I ask me now, what's the matter?"

Hearing Kazuya's familiar and steady voice, Shi Yu was a little overwhelmed for a while. She seldom showed such a gesture in front of the other party. She could only feel that time had changed her too much.

"Kazuya-kun?

I didn't expect you to answer this call. "

She replied gently, incorporating her faint but somewhat complicated emotions into this sentence.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that I would answer the call. If you had called two hours earlier, I don't think I would have answered."

Kazuo on the other end of the phone paused slightly, and then seemed to say with a wry smile.

"Did something happen?"

For some unknown reason, Shi Yu felt that in her heart of despair, an indistinct hope suddenly appeared in her heart.

"To be honest, a lot has happened."

Kazuya's tone on the other end of the phone was full of helplessness, but there was also a sense of relief,

"I've been trying to figure it out until today."

"So, is it resolved?"

"I don't know if this is a solution. From the fundamental point of view of solving the problem, it shouldn't be, right?"

Kazuya said with a wry smile,

"Of course, there is no way, I have paid so much, I have worked so hard, and in the end, there is still no way to solve this problem.

So, thinking about it now, I really don’t know what my efforts at that time were for? "

Kazuya's sentence is obviously a statement about what happened to her, but the same sentence, inadvertently, also hit Shi Yu's heartstrings. For her, why not?

He worked hard to have hope for He Ye, and worked hard to pursue one opportunity after another that he thought impossible to exist. In the end, when the hope was broken, the result made him feel sad.

"Yes, many times, I really don't know why I am trying to find something!"

"Ah."

Kazuya on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, as if he realized what Shi Yu meant by these words.

Shi Yu could see that today's Kazuya was different from the previous Kazuya who completely rejected him. However, there was one thing that had not changed. Although his mental state was not good, the other party was still avoiding it, saying that he would let himself Misunderstood topic.

However, this was a different Kazuya after all, which gave Shi Yu a little hope.

"He Ye-kun just asked me what I wanted to do with you, right?"

Facing the silent Kazuya, Shi Yu took the initiative to ask. ——If I told you that I made a wrong call, I think you would believe it?

But, I really don't want to say that.

"Well, that's right!

How should I put it, I was surprised to receive a call from Shi Yu-senpai at this time. "

"I also got the sales of the novel's first week here, the sales of your novel are very objective!

At least it's better than when I was a rookie. "

Although she vaguely felt that what she did was wrong, Shi Yu couldn't stop herself from speaking. Similarly, the expression of refusal from the other side and the almost unspoken refusal also made her more and more firm in this fact. should not be firm on the idea.

"My novel does sell well, but sorry."

After a long pause, the other end of the phone came and He was not so happy.

Shi Yu knew that Kazuo was also sorry for the hurt he had caused to him.

Shi Yu's heart unexpectedly had a sense of joy, and Kazuya was also sorry for the harm he caused to himself. This shows that Kazuya felt guilty and owed to himself, and this kind of feeling, Shi Yu originally thought that she could no longer see it in the determined Kazuya.

"It's nothing, this time it's my own problem,"

So, slowly, her emotions rose up,

"If I can compete with you at a normal level, the result will be completely different, right?

But I made a mistake, and Miss Machida made a mistake. We didn't lose to any off-the-table moves, but completely lost to myself, and then to you, so you have nothing to do with this. Apologize isn't it?

After all, with this result, if you switch positions, do you think you'd want me to say sorry to you? "

"No, but I'm still sorry for Shi Yu-senpai."

Kazuya's voice was a little helpless,

"The results of novels have completely different meanings to me and to you. I publish novels in the nature of playing tickets, and Shiyu-senpai is already a popular writer. If you encounter a decline in popularity at this time. , that's not a joke."

"Do you really think that Shiyu of Kasumigaoka will encounter Waterloo here and then collapse?"

Shi Yu's tone became arrogant. At that moment, all the aura of a loser was swept away from her body, and what was left was that strong and powerful light novel writer, Shiyu of the Hill of Xia,

"I do think that this defeat is an opportunity for me to see the reality clearly. Since the style of writing cannot be changed, then I will continue with my original style of writing, isn't it alright?"

"Speaking of style,"

Kazuya's tone suddenly became cautious,

"Sister Shiyu, can you tell me that your style of writing is still developing in the direction of light comedy in the last book, why can't you see the shadow of that aspect in this book?

Was it affected by something? "

"What do you think?

Mr. Aragaki? "

A helpless smile crossed the corner of Shi Yu's mouth.

That's right, for her, she is well aware of the change in style of writing this time. During the most painful period of her relationship with Kazuya, after Yingri Pear chose Kazuya, she wanted to do it the most. How could this novel, which I wrote when I adjusted myself, could have a brisk style of writing? In fact, the second part of "The Streets of That City" was a true portrayal of my mood at the time. I was just unintentional. , I express my feelings in this work.

"is it?

I see,"

He, who was on the other end of the phone, also faced Shi Yu's question, and obviously understood the meaning of Shi Yu's refusal to talk about it.

"So, it's me who has to apologize in the end, right?"

"From this point of view, maybe Kazuya-kun, you really have to apologize!"

Shi Yu replied half jokingly and half seriously.

"Feel sorry!"

"Of course, Kazuya-kun, if you must be sorry,"

Shi Yu's mood suddenly became uneasy. Although her whole body's reason was trying to stop herself, she still said the next words,

"Tomorrow, can you please accompany me to Hehe City to collect materials and make amends?"

"..."

Kazuya's long silence came from the other end of the phone.

So, still doesn't work?

Shi Yu smiled bitterly and said to himself, yes, of course it can't be done, even if there is a problem, even if the problem is not solved, but on my side, isn't the problem bigger?

So, what am I thinking about?

"Uh, it's not a very formal apology. In fact, during the last book signing, I saw a cake shop in Hehe City that looked very good. I just wanted to go there and have a look. The so-called Take material, most of the purpose is there!

Wouldn't that work either?

In fact, my first thought was to celebrate the success of your novel's sales. I don't think you would like to participate in this kind of event held by Wenku, so I think this way to congratulate you It's not impossible..."

However, despite the repeated rejection of his own thoughts in his heart, what came out of Shi Yu's mouth were completely the opposite and another words that continued to persuade Kazuya.

"..."

However, the other end of the phone was still silent.

"Okay, it really doesn't work, right?"

In the end, Shi Yu, who felt that she understood the other party's reaction, lowered her head in disappointment.

"If, that's all, I think I can accept your invitation."

After an unknown amount of time, a voice that surprised Shi Yu came from the other end of the phone.

"is it okay?"

"Yes, anyway, I also want to go out and adjust my mood. Maybe go out with you, whether it's for material or something else, it will also make a big adjustment for me to understand my own mood, right?"

Kazuya, on the other end of the phone, seemed to look away and replied,

"So, Senior Sister Shiyu, don't you welcome me?"

"Well, how could it be?

This is my invitation! "
