Synopsis: the Student Council President is a Boss

　　In front of a large bookstore in Tokyo, Megumi Kato's delicate face showed a little surprise as she looked at Shirogane Yukin in front of her.

　　"President, I didn't expect you to come to our world specially for Shi Yu-senpai's light novel."

　　Coincidentally, whether it is the Shuchi Academy in the world where Shirogane Yukin lives, the Totsuki Academy in the Spirit of the Halberd World, or the Toyosaki Academy here, although they are located in different worlds, they are all in the same place. It is located in Tokyo.

　　It's like a special one in Tokyo.

　　However, the school that Kiriko attended was in another city, proving that this was just a coincidence.

　　Miyuki Shirogane did not intend to hide his intentions from Megumi Kato.

　　"She has asked me many times about light novels. This is also related to the acquisition of almighty points, as well as the issue of hard work and rewards. Naturally, I can't sit idly by."

　　After a short pause, Shirogane Yuyuki looked at Kato Megumi, who didn't show much expression except for a little surprise, and smiled slightly.

　　"Thank you for tipping me off."

　　"You're welcome. It's just that the president used the wording of 'bringing a message' as if I was doing something bad. Obviously, I just wanted to help Shiyu-senpai as much as possible."

　　At this moment, Kato Megumi is only showing a little trouble, not too real, but it can make people feel apologetic.

　　Megumi Kato's charm seems to be hidden, just a flower with a delicate fragrance. If you don't look for it carefully, you can't find the beauty in it.

　　The smile on Baiyin Yuxing's face did not change.

　　"It was my fault for that."

　　"I don't want to ask the president to apologize - let's go to the bookstore and have a look?"

　　Today is the day when the second volume of Love Metronome is officially released.

　　At the same time, a remake of the first volume was released. At the suggestion of Machida Yuanzi, Kasumigaoka Shiyu also revised a lot of the content of the first volume.

　　Now is the time to test the results.

　　Shirogane Yuyuki did not immediately go to the shelf where the love metronome was, but observed from a distance for a moment.

　　Kato Megumi did not raise any questions because of this, and stood silently beside Shirogane Yuyuki, waiting for him to finish his observation.

　　This kind of care and tolerance is another advantage of Kato Megumi.

　　The two were in a large bookstore in Tokyo.

　　Large bookstores (bcfd) occupying a prosperous area in such a prosperous urban area naturally have a lot of traffic, and people stop in front of the stacks of books on each shelf.

　　From a purely visual point of view, the most eye-catching thing about a light novel is its cover.

　　The typography, the style of the title, and the beauty of the pictures will determine whether a reader will pick it up, and the content and illustrations of the novel will determine whether the reader will buy it.

　　As a love metronome painter, Ying Lili is indeed a very powerful type. Even if he was originally a fanartist, he has accumulated a large number of fans simply by virtue of his paintings without making any public appearances.

　　Many people asked the clerk the first moment they walked into the bookstore.

　　"Excuse me, is Eri Kashiwagi's work on sale?"

　　Then he was guided by the clerk to the location of the love metronome. Looking at the beautiful pattern on the cover, he said, "As expected of Mr. Kashiwagi Eri's work."

　　An excellent cover that is attractive enough, maintains high-quality illustrations, and Shiyu of Kasumigaoka is already considered to be the top writing among light novel authors. With the love story revealed a little bit, this is actually a lore.

　　In a few minutes, Shirogane Miyuki and Kato Megumi saw that all the customers who picked up the love metronome did not put it down, but took the first and second volumes to the cashier and bought them.

　　"Sister Shiyu's hard work has not been in vain."

　　Even if Kato Megumi didn't understand why Shirogane Yubei didn't immediately come to the shelf to check the release version of the love metronome, now, the smart girl has already reacted.

　　With the attitude of those customers who can't put it down, it's easy to speculate on the appeal of this light novel, and then come to the conclusion that the first-day sales of the love metronome will not be too bad.

　　Kato Megumi's words made Shirogane Miyuki look sideways.

　　"I still don't quite understand why you are not very popular in school. You are obviously a beautiful girl with a good personality and a very smart personality."

　　"At present, apart from Shi Yu-senpai, only the president has praised me like this, but I'm quite satisfied."

　　Kato Megumi looks like she doesn't like things and doesn't feel sorry for herself, showing the sage Megumi's heart.

　　She is very low-key in school, and she has always been unknown. Naturally, no one will come to contact her.

　　After all, students spend most of their time in class, and chat with familiar friends in their spare time. Even if they are exploring gossip, compared to ordinary gossip among classmates, other topics with high popularity are more attractive.

　　With the president's statement, Kato Megumi probably understood that she is not a bad type, but it is impossible to change her study and living conditions in order to gain popularity.

　　As she said herself, the girl feels that the current situation is very good.

　　Baiyin Yuhang didn't bother too much on this point.

　　"I originally thought that if the sales of the love metronome were not good, I would take some actions to change it, but now there is no need for this. As an ordinary reader, just buy a few light novels that you like."

　　Hearing the subtext in Shirogane Miyuki's words, Kato Megumi blinked in confusion.

　　"Isn't the president going to meet Shiyu-senpai?"

　　"Since she didn't tell me the exact time of the light novel's release, and she deliberately concealed it, I will run over to see her on my own, which will cause people trouble. When Shi Yu gets the sales report and even takes the initiative to tell me, Let's celebrate her again."

　　"President intends to hold a celebration party for Shi Yu?"

　　"I know that neither you nor Shiyu likes the type of chatting with unfamiliar guys. When the time comes, it's decided that you, Shiyu, her editor Machida Yuanko, and illustrator Eiri will be the ones to participate in the celebration."

　　Hearing Shirogane Yuyuki's easy call out the names, Kato Megumi's eyes flashed.

　　"The president really knows a lot of things, or is he silently caring about Shi Yu?"

　　"If you encounter any difficulties, I will also care about you."

　　"I don't know whether to say that the president is very caring about people, or whether to say... huhu.".

Chapter 155

　　"Mr. Xia Shizi, so far, your love metronome has just been officially released for 24 hours, and the single volume has sold [-] copies. Because the time is too short, the statistical results may not be accurate, and some bookstores will be missed, so the actual sales volume is probably more."

　　In the cafe, upon hearing Machida Yuanko's words, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was a little confused.

　　"Then...is this kind of sales more or less?"

　　When the first volume of Love Metronome was just released, because Shiyu of Kasumigaoka was a super rookie with limited writing power and lack of love experience, the plot concept was full of subjective guesses, so naturally it couldn't get much attention. At least it is impossible to know their first-day sales.

　　She couldn't make a comparison.

　　If you just talk about the sales of [-] copies, the first volume of the love metronome was also sold thousands of copies, although it took several months.

　　"Of course it is—a lot!"

　　Machida Yuanko was finally unable to maintain the calmness of his tone, and continued to say excitedly.

　　"It sold two thousand copies on the first day, a single volume, which is undoubtedly a good result. You must know that even some seasoned light novelists only sold thousands of copies in the first week. Accumulated readers reach.”

　　Looking at Shiyu Kasumigaoka who hasn't reacted yet, if it weren't for the fact that the current topic was still on business, and the cafe was a semi-public occasion, Machida Yuanko wanted to stretch out her hand to squeeze the other's face and express herself. delighted.

　　"And you are different, you don't have many fans, it may sound a bit hurtful, but it's all in the past. From now on, the love metronome is undoubtedly a popular light novel, and Bunko has noticed. , the relevant arrangements have also begun, and the love metronome will get more recommended resources-sources."

　　Shiyu of Kasumigaoka feels a bit like a dream.

　　"Doesn't it mean that a single volume of really excellent light novels can sell hundreds of thousands or even millions?"

　　"That's true, but people have accumulated it for months or even years, and there are top-level publicity, such as animation or something. You are just starting now, as long as further publicity is carried out, it is entirely possible in the future. Hundreds of thousands of sales."

　　Shiyu of Kasumigaoka is still a little unbelievable because of the excessive smoothness.

　　However, in addition to verifying from Machida Yuanko, she has other ways.

　　The girl took out her mobile phone and checked the almighty points she had.

　　This is a function that Baiyin Yuxing, the president of the Ten Thousand Realms Guild, has updated before. Members can check their property at any time, which is much more convenient than in the past.

　　My Versatility Points have been increased by 300.

　　Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu can also roughly guess that the increase in almighty points is not completely related to the sales of light novels. Otherwise, if the sales of the love metronome really increased to hundreds of thousands, reaching a hundred times the current level, wouldn’t it be possible for him to directly get the number of points? Ten thousand almighty points.

　　That's too simple.

　　It is not limited to the difficulty of the sales itself, but the conclusion drawn by weighing the two on the balance.

　　There are at least a dozen light novelists who have sold hundreds of thousands of single volumes. They are not unique, and they are in the category of common sense.

　　And according to what the president said, tens of thousands of almighty points can already be used to learn divine arts. Even if it is not a real god, it can be called a demigod. How can there be such a cheap thing.

　　Taking a light breath to calm down, Kasumigaoka Shiyu put aside unrealistic calculations and was simply delighted by the current situation.

　　"Great."

　　Machida Yuanko also laughed.

　　"Now, can you feel at ease?"

　　As the editor of Kasumigaoka Shiyu, during this time, the girl's hesitation and tension were completely seen by Machida Yuanzi.

　　Machida Yuanzi, who has a good professional quality, did not go to the bottom of it, but tried her best to help and comfort. Now that I know that the sales volume of the love metronome is very good, it is a lot easier.

　　"Ah."

　　Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded, looking at Machida Yuanzi with gratitude in his eyes.

　　"Thank you."

　　"There's nothing to be thankful for, it's just my job. The love metronome is full of potential now, if it can really reach hundreds of thousands of sales in the future... No, as long as it reaches tens of thousands of sales in the short term, plus my past I will be promoted in my position, I will have my own independent office, my work will be much easier, and my salary will be increased, YES!"

・・・・Seeking flowers・・・・

　　At the end, Machida Yuanko also let out a cheer, showing the attitude of a little girl instead of an adult.

　　This kind of performance made the smile on Shiyu's face even more.

　　It is also my luck to meet an editor like Machida Yuanko.

　　Kasumigaoka Shiyu's gaze made Machida Yuanko a little embarrassed.

　　"You should have someone you want to share this good news with? Why don't you end today's meeting and go to him to celebrate first?"

0 ......

　　The "he" in Machida Yuanzi's mouth is naturally the boy Shiyu Kasumigaoka likes.

　　"I'll send him a message and tell him."
