The Only Actor in the Comics

The signing party officially began at 2 p.m. on the first floor of the Fantasia Bunko headquarters, a building with a spacious ground floor that could easily accommodate a few hundred people, or more if it was a little crowded.

After hastily eating lunch, but it was close to twelve o’clock, and there was still some time before two o’clock in the afternoon when the signing party began, Machida Enko was very tired, she slept in the conference room, and Yuki Rito began to arrange the official version of Sword Art Online server according to the information given to him by Takashi Tenjo-in, the Tenjo-in Foundation had prepared the corresponding various at the Fantasia Bunko headquarters, the server and related technicians, Yuki Rito did not have a lot of work.

As long as the most important part is laid out, Yuki Rito can call the server remotely without having to come to Tokyo.

Time passed quickly, and Machida Yuanko, who was originally resting in the conference room, found Yuki Rito with a mask at this time, and said helplessly.

“Wouldn’t it be too tiring for you to devote yourself to all kinds of things without even resting?”

“It’s okay, I’m full of energy.”

In terms of the server, Yuki Rito and the technical staff have completed a lot of communication, took the mask in Machida Yuanko’s hand, looked at it carefully, and said with a little surprise.

“Originally, I thought it was that thin plastic, but I didn’t expect it to look very high-end, specially customized?”

“Well, it is produced by a specialized factory, and if it is possible in the future, it may be sold as a peripheral.”

“Let’s go, the book signing is about to start, right?”

Wearing this Kayaba-like mask on his face and changing into a white coat sponsored by Bunko’s friendship, just like Kayaba Hidehiko as a researcher in the light novel, Yuki Rito and Machida Soko came to the first floor.

At this time, it was a real sea of people, more than ten times more than the number of dozens of people seen in the morning, although the inner stage, that is, the area where Yuki Rito signed on the spot has not yet opened, but the peripheral area has begun to sell the limited edition light novel of the venue with Yuki Rito signature, the original number of 3,000 copies is very large compared to the hundreds of people currently crowded into the venue, but these guys are not buying one copy alone, many people want to buy more than a few copies, and it seems that they have to help their friends buy for them.

The so-called venue limited edition, in addition to the signature, also comes with the corresponding poster and key chain from Fantasia Bunko, and the price has increased fivefold, but the buyer seems to enjoy it.

When Yuki Rito and Machida Enko, wearing masks and white coats, walked out, the crowd on the periphery erupted into an exclamation with surprise and interest, and no one expected that the author with the pen name Crystal Kayaba really dressed up as Crystal Kayaba.

“The signing meeting officially started, it was two o’clock in the afternoon, there are still twenty minutes left, these twenty minutes, you can randomly ask Mr. Kayaba Jinghiko, of course, for some too sharp questions, Kayaba Jingyan also has the right to refuse to answer.”

The isolation line located on the periphery of the venue was removed, and the crowd poured in, gathered around the stage where Yuki Rito was standing, curiously looking, many people raised their hands high, wanting to ask questions, and the choice, in Yuki Rito’s hands, he held two microphones, one for his own use and the other, and would hand them to the questioner.

“Hello everyone, I’m Akihiko Kayaba, well, of course this is just a pseudonym, so don’t expect me to make a game like the one described in the novel.”

Although there are many people, but the order is not too chaotic, most people who like otaku culture, either have certain qualities or do not like to be in the limelight, at this time no one made a loud noise, but they all raised their hands high and wanted Yuki Rito to choose their own questions, glanced around, Yuki Rito saw a guy he knew, unilateral understanding.

“Well, following the principle of ladies first, the first questioner will be chosen as this beautiful blonde girl.”

“Huh?”

Seeing the guy with the mask in front of him walking to the edge of the stage, squatting down and handing the microphone to himself, Yingli was stunned, only then did he reflect that the beautiful girl said by the other party was herself, similar praise Yingli Li heard a lot, but the admired person said that there were still some mood swings, she took a deep breath and took the microphone.

“Teacher Crystal Kayaba, I like your light novels very much, as well as games, you are very good, many large companies in the blog before want to poach you, can I still see your books in the future?”

Ying Li said that many people are worried about the problem, now the combined sales of Sword Art Online one and two volumes have reached 600,000 copies, which is estimated by other media, in this way, as the author of a light novel will get tens of millions of yen in manuscript fees, which is a very terrible huge number for ordinary people, but for some people, it is just that, before some companies proposed generous remuneration on blogs, such as a thorn, pierced into the hearts of readers and players of Sword Art Online, Even if the Tenjo-in Foundation and the Immortal River Bookstore successively expressed their support, the thorn did not disappear.

When Eiri Li spoke, Yuki Rito has always maintained a squatting posture, because the stage is relatively high, if Yuki Rito is standing, it will make people look up, squatting to be at eye level with each other, this small action found a lot of people, after all, few people will squat on the stage, for a while, nothing about Sword Art Online, just for Kayaba Jinghiko, everyone’s senses have improved a lot.

“I promise that whether it is a light novel or a game, I will give you the best answer I can, in fact, less than half of the light novel is currently written, and even the official version of the game that will be released next week is not really the final product, and it is a bit funny that I made such a rudimentary game under the name of Akihiko Kayaba.”

Now the only person who dares to evaluate the Sword Art Online game like this is Yuki Ridou, the maker, everyone shook their heads with a smile, and when he was saying humble words, he couldn’t help but have more expectations.

Yuki Rito revealed too much information in this paragraph, and such an exclusive spoiler naturally excited everyone present, and some of the people who took the train to rush over felt that it was worth it to run to Tokyo on a rare weekend to participate in the book signing.

“What does Takashi Kayaba-sensei think of the illustrations in the novel? Two illustrators, Eromoga and Hideri Kashiwagi, whose work does Hidehiko Kayaba-sensei prefer? ”
