Chapter 30

  A passer-by, Shiyu Xiazhiqiu, who was holding a mobile phone in her room, didn't know what she thought at first. After she was sure that she could contact the president, she even accidentally wrote the prologue of the light novel she wrote. Sent it to him for advice.

  In the eyes of the gods, such light novels written by mortals with a more entertaining nature should be completely a joke, right?

  Originally, Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu was already prepared to be ignored by the other party, but the president unexpectedly received the document.

  Then the problem is coming.

  The creation of the male protagonist in the prologue of my second volume is getting closer and closer to the image of the president. If the president can see it...

  No, there is no need for it at all. Based on what he has learned from his brief contact, the president definitely has the vision to easily see this.

  Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu thought about the role he played, imagined the possible reactions and thoughts of the president, and his fair face gradually turned red.

  If this experience at this moment is described as the feelings of the heroine Sayuka in "Metronome in Love" written by myself, if I describe it truthfully, it will be considered by the president, editors and readers as "insufficient authenticity". This situation should be improved.

  However, if things really develop like this, doesn't it mean that his favorability for the president is constantly improving?

  When Shiyu of Kasumigaoka was in a state of turmoil, Shiroyin Yuxing sent a reply - "Since it's a love light novel, unless you want to end it early, or you can have countless ideas about how the male and female protagonists get along warmly, otherwise, Let's add a few more heroines."

  Is the president simply advising himself now, or is he seeing something, or even seeing the future, and is making some kind of hint?

  At this moment, Kasumigaoka Shiyu's thoughts were very active.

  However, she still didn't have any idea of ​​confirming the guess, and she didn't have the courage to question the president of Shirogane Yuxing.

  After cautiously sending a message of thanks to the other party, Kasumi Hill Shiyu hesitated for a moment, tapped a few times on the phone screen, and opened the private chat interface.

  The other party is Kasumigaoka Shiyu who has been friends for a while, but the two have almost never chatted.

  Even if they are both students of Toyozaki Academy, and they are very popular in terms of popularity.

  "Kashiwagi Eri-sensei, are you there?"

  Since the president said that if you want to get more all-around points, you need to be a good enough light novelist while ensuring your studies, so Shiyu Kasumigaoka will naturally do her best.

  If her studies and the content of light novels are things that she can achieve excellent levels with her own efforts, then the illustrations of light novels are uncertain factors.

  Although the Fantastic Library, which is affiliated to the Undead Chuan Bookstore, is a big company, it will match illustrations for its light novels, even if Shiyu Kasumigaoka is a new light novelist.

  But it is precisely because she is a rookie light novelist, and "Metronome in Love" is also a work that does not reflect commercial value for the time being, so the number of illustrations in the first volume of this light novel is very small, which is lower than the average level, and also in terms of quality. Just passing the test is not great.

  If Shiyu Kasumigaoka does nothing now and concentrates on writing the second volume of light novels, even if Machida Yuanko strongly recommends it, it will be difficult to get the help of a powerful illustrator immediately.

  Therefore, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu decisively set his sights on his part-time illustrator, and already a little famous alumni.

  "Seal this title for me!"

  Kasumi Hill Shiyu quickly got a reply.

  The expected reply.

  Although Shiyu Kasumigaoka did not have much contact with each other because of the different grades, but in the limited understanding, Shiyu Kasumigaoka has learned from the performance of the girl whose real name is Sawamura Spencer Eiri in school. From the identity of the hidden fanartist, I guessed the general character of the other party.

  Compared to the president who seemed to see through everything about him, this Sawamura-san was really easy to deal with.

  "Sawamura-san, are you interested in changing your part-time job from a fanartist to a professional one?"

  "Not interested in."

  A very decisive reply was still expected by Shiyu of Kasumigaoka.

  When facing Baiyin Yuxing, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was trembling, but when facing this alumnus who was one grade lower than himself, Kasumigaoka Shiyu could strike hard.

  "If you don't agree, I'll announce the fact that the real identity of the doujin artist Eri Kashiwagi is a high school girl, whose name is Sawamura Spencer Eiri, who is studying at Toyonozaki Academy."

  After a brief silence, Kasumigaoka Shiyu directly received a video call invitation from the other party.

  She didn't hesitate to click the accept button.

  "Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, what do you want to do?!"

  Almost at the next moment, a girl with blond hair and double ponytails appeared in the video, but the angry tone of the other party couldn't cover up the rather pleasant tone, even if her face was angry, she looked quite cute.

  "Call me Kasumigaoka-senpai. Well, if you become my painter in the future, you can call me Kasumi Shizi-sensei. On the other hand, I also call you Kashiwagi Eri-sensei."

  "They said to seal this title for me!!!"

  "Then you agree?"

  In the face of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's pressing step by step, Ying Riri scratched her hair with a worried look on her face.

  If it wasn't for the fact that she took the risk of taking a risk on the rooftop of Toyozaki Academy once because of the lack of time, the autographs of the doujinshi that her family were going to get to sell at the comic exhibition were drawn by Kasumi, who was also accustomed to coming to the rooftop to have lunch alone. Qiu Shiyu caught him straight, and now why is he being controlled by others everywhere.

  If time could come back, Ying Lili would never sign her own doujinshi at school again, and she was even willing to give up the manga directly.

  "So, Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, what do you think? You suddenly want me to become a professional painter or something. Before graduating from high school, I don't want to make painting my main business!"

  Compared to painting, Yingli actually prefers to be a consumer rather than being a creator of otaku culture.

  "Let's meet, anyway, today is the weekend, you should have free time, right? Mr. Kashiwagi Eri."

  "Ah, ah, I know, can't I surrender?".

Chapter 31

  In a cafe that is not high-end, but is favored by young people because of its high-quality and low-cost products and a relatively quiet environment, Ying Lili took a sip of the coffee that Shiyu of Kasumigaoka ordered for herself in advance, because of its bitterness. Frowning his brows, he kept adding sugar to it, and asked in a nonchalant manner.

  "You want me to be your illustrator, isn't it just a whim? A volume of light novels requires about ten illustrations, which is a lot of work. As a light novel author, I want to complete a light novel. Volume light novels need to write a full [-] words, there is also a need for inspiration, and there is still a lot of work to sign and publish, if it is just a whim, I advise you to give up."

  On the way to the cafe, Ying Lili specially prepared a lot of rhetoric, wanting to let Kasumigaoka Shiyu retreat.

  In school, Ying Lili has always played a cheerful and enthusiastic role that has nothing to do with otaku culture, and has established an interpersonal network and has several good friends.

  Although they are only good friends in name, they are not at the level of girlfriends. During the holidays, Yingri will politely refuse their invitation to go shopping and go to stores selling video games or light novels and comics alone, but she still I don't want to lose those few friends, and I don't want to let the image I finally created collapse.

  Therefore, Eri must avoid exposing herself as a fanartist at Toyonozaki Gakuen where she is studying.

  She wanted to let Shiyu of Kasumigaoka retreat despite the difficulties, and from then on, she wanted to minimize her interactions with the other party.

  "I mentioned my pseudonym before, didn't you specifically search the Internet on your way here? This is the first volume of the light novel I wrote. It has been on sale for a while, although the sales are very bad."

  Kasumigaoka Shiyu directly put the first volume of his love metronome in front of Ying Lili.

  This move made Ying Riri stunned, her eyes wandering back and forth on the physical light novel and Kasumigaoka Shiyu in front of her.

  She didn't expect that this senior, who had been showing the image of a high-cold scholar at Toyozaki Academy, was also a lover and creator of otaku culture.

  In a sense, Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who is already a light novelist, is more exaggerated than herself who is just a fanartist.

  Can you use it as a handle like the other party?

  It doesn't seem to work.

  In Yingri's impression, Kasumigaoka Shiyu did not deliberately deal with interpersonal relationships, nor did she deliberately create the image of a perfect scholar.

  Ying Lili still remembers that when she had just entered Toyonozaki Academy, Kasumigaoka Shiyu gave a speech to the freshmen as an outstanding student representative and senior sister. At that time, before she stepped on the podium, she openly dozed off, which caused some problems. Little farce.

  I dozed off to write light novels while finishing school.

  Eri, who linked the current situation with the past, suddenly felt that Shiyu Kasumigaoka was not as annoying as she thought.

  In a sense, she is her own fancier and the creator of otaku culture just like herself.

  However, after a few minutes, Eri Riri's attention turned to another place entirely.

  "What, this love metronome looks like a fantasy of a guy who has never been in love. No wonder the sales volume is so low that even I, the master of otaku culture, have never heard of it. to the point of.”

  A brief glance at what Eiri said in the first volume of Love Metronome made Shiyu Kasumigaoka smile.

  Cold smile.

  "So, Eri Kashiwagi is also a master of love? No wonder his past works have always been famous for their sensual style."

  "certainly not!"

  Eiri originally wanted to make some corrections to the "painting style" of Kasumigaoka Shiyu, but thinking of her original purpose, she did not say much on this point.

  "I've never been in love, but I've read enough light novels and manga with love elements, and have cleared many Galgames with 'full CG collection'. Naturally, I can easily see the inadequacies of your works."

  Yingli Li knew that it would be a bit rude to point out the shortcomings of her work so directly, if it was not a close good friend.

  However, Shiyu of Kasumigaoka threatened herself first, and in order to avoid the ending that involved too much with the other party, Yingri didn't even care about her feelings now.

  "So, you'd better give up, at least before you really fall in love, or before you read more love works, give up being a light novelist."

  It will take a year or two to accumulate, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu will just graduate from Toyozaki Academy.

  Eri Ri, who spoke like a senior, was secretly proud of her intelligence, but to her surprise, Shiyu Kasumigaoka took out her laptop on her own, and turned the computer screen to Eri Ri.

  "This is the prologue of the second volume of the love metronome that I wrote, let's see how it goes."

  "..."

  Inri was silent for a moment.

  As a creator of otaku culture, she can't completely ignore the hard work of others.

  The love metronome is not too unbearable, but when Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, as a scholar, clearly has a better choice such as continuing his studies, it is not worthwhile to focus on other places.

  Speaking of which, the other party has already completed the first volume of the light novel, which is nearly [-] words, and he can still maintain the first grade in the grade. This is too scary, right? !

  After a brief moment of cranky thinking, Ying Riri turned her attention to the text on the screen, intending to continue to point out the deficiencies as before.

  Then, before she knew it, she threw herself into the story described by Shiyu of Kasumigaoka, changing from a cursory browsing to a careful reading.

  The same few minutes passed.

  It's just that the previous few minutes were used to quickly browse a whole volume of light novels with nearly [-] words, but the current few minutes are used to read a prologue with only a few thousand words.

  "The speed of your writing is really terrifying. Is this the world of a scholar?"

  It's a bit exaggerated to be able to involuntarily immerse yourself in the story just by relying on the writing.

  Eri Riri, who had come back to her senses, had a complicated expression.

  "There are deeper reasons for this."

  Although the president did not specifically want to hide the existence of the Ten Thousand Realms Guild, out of basic caution, Shiyu of Kasumigaoka chose to keep it secret.
