It was difficult to handle until now, but something churning in the body, as if it was about to burst from the inside, was sucked into the sword, and the body felt lighter and lighter.

Next, as long as you retract your hand sword, it will be drawn out.She was so sure that when she was about to inhale.

"It's better to think carefully before picking up that thing."

When I came back to my senses, there was an unknown magician standing behind me.

No, in fact, I have seen it countless times in dreams, but it is the first time to meet in reality.

The magician spoke to her with his usual calm demeanor.

"I won't hurt you, so don't do that. Once you take that sword, you will cease to be human until the end. Not only that. Once you take it, you will be hated by all humans and welcome misery death."

Her expression was contorted with fear.

Of course, because the magician did not speak, but with images, and made her see in her consciousness the picture of the future that actually 'became that'.

That was not advice but a prophecy, and if she picked up that sword, no matter how hard she struggled, she would face the reality of a lonely and tragic death.

However, she just nodded at the magician's words.

To be king, one has to stop being human.This kind of awareness, she has been born since birth.

The king is the existence that must kill the most people in order to protect the people.

When she was young, she thought about this every night, trembling until dawn, and there was not a day when she was not afraid.

"However, the fear is over from today. Because there are so many people laughing, I don't think it must be wrong."

Decided to fight.No matter what happens, even there, even so, I decide to fight.What is waiting is inescapable, and the shattering of loneliness is also good.

The sword was drawn out as it should be, and the surroundings were surrounded by endless light.

"Ah, you have chosen a difficult path."

Although the magician turned his head away seemingly troubled, he was delighted with her choice in his heart.

Because it's really fun.The magician is sure that the path she is on is both difficult and full of ups and downs.Men want to see beautiful things, it's as simple as that, so innocently, wickedly, and rejoice in letting go.

To the newly born king, he gave the first advice that was none of his business.

"Miracle has a price. King Arthur. You will trade what is most important to you."

Merlin's words still seemed to be lingering in his ears, and then he woke up from the dream...

Chapter 0047 News of Call for Papers

What he saw and experienced were scenes from the distant past. Luo Ye suddenly opened his eyes when his mind traveled through a wonderful dream. After seeing the familiar ceiling, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.

"Is it just a dream? No, it really happened."

The master who signed the contract with the servant can sometimes peek into the memory of the heroic spirit in the form of a dream.

This point was also revealed in the original Fate book, but Luo Ye thought it was something that would happen based on the Xingyue worldview, but she didn't expect it to be fulfilled in her own body.

He dreamed of Lily's past, of the chosen day, of the girl full of hopes and dreams who had to make up her mind to sever everything as a human being in order to become a king.

Frowning tightly, Luo Ye rested his aching head with one hand, his eyes subconsciously swept over Lily, and his brows relaxed immediately.

The morning light slipped quietly into the room through the gaps in the curtains, and shone on the delicate and lovely sleeping face of the blonde girl.She was sleeping soundly, her long eyelashes fluttered with her even breathing, as nimble as a butterfly fluttering its wings.

Luo Ye recalled that when she first came to this world, she woke up early every morning, making the room restless.On the contrary, I tend to procrastinate and stay in bed more and more, especially when I sleep, which is getting worse day by day.

Look at her holding a roll of quilt without any image at the moment, with her jade legs stretched across her face, her spring is blooming, but she still doesn't know it.

After getting used to taking a panoramic view of the graceful scenery, Luo Ye didn't have much thought, just shook his head with a smile.

But at this moment, the mobile phone placed on the bedside table suddenly vibrated, and he picked it up casually, and a text message from an unfamiliar number popped up on the screen.

"Hi Mr. Luo Ye, I'm Sonoko Machida from the editorial department of Fujimi Bunko. Your work Sword Art Online has passed the review. Please come to Fujimi to discuss with me face-to-face for specific matters before New Year's Day..."

The corresponding address and contact information were also attached at the end of the text message. After confirming that it was correct, Luo Ye's lips curved slightly.

According to the editor, most of the time I approached him was to discuss the publication of Sword Art Online.Luo Ye's previous hard work was not in vain, and the painstaking efforts to modify the content finally achieved results.Otherwise, according to the original narration method of Internet serialization, it may not be able to pass the review.

"As the restaurant is closed recently, let's go there this afternoon."

Luo Ye pondered for a while, and quickly made a decision, not planning to delay until after New Year's Day.

Things that can be resolved as soon as possible naturally have to be resolved as soon as possible. It is impossible to be too busy after resuming business after New Year's Day.He prepared for the worst.

At the same time, in an ordinary residential building in Nerima District, the clear and crisp birdsong from outside the window broke the tranquility and peace of the morning.

The loud ringtone of the mobile phone quietly rang in the simply furnished boudoir, awakening the girl who was dozing on the table from her half-asleep state.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and glanced at the unfamiliar phone number. Although she was complaining in her heart who was calling so early in the morning, she still answered it patiently.

Immediately, a young woman's voice came over the phone, strange but mixed with a ray of joy.

"Hello? Is this teacher Xia Shizi's phone number?"

"Yes, you are?"

Replying lazily, the girl covered her mouth with jade hands and yawned. She straightened out her proud chest, and suddenly the waves were rippling, revealing her exquisite curves.

"I'm Machida from Fujimi Bunko. Thank you for participating in this FS competition. Now I want to tell you the result of this verification. Congratulations, Mr. Kasumi Shiko, you have won the award. I would like to trouble you for specific matters around New Year's Day..."

The girl lost all sleepiness for a moment, and the girl opened her eyes slightly. She was so surprised that it was hard to describe in words for a moment, and she couldn't quite hear what she was saying during the call after connecting.

She originally participated in the essay competition with the mentality of trying it out.Although the writing is very dedicated and serious, but after all, it is a debut novel, so I still don't have much expectation in my heart.But I never expected it to be such a success.

Even after she learned the news, she couldn't maintain her composure, so she couldn't help but say, "I'll go find you this afternoon."

"Okay, then I'll wait for Teacher Xia Shizi to come."

The young woman on the other end of the call said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, she vigorously patted that delicate and pretty cheek that was damaged by thick dark circles. The girl took a deep breath, unable to calm down.

There is the excitement of being favored by the editor, the joy of being recognized for the work, and the uncertainty about the future.

"I have to face it after all, right? What do I have to be afraid of? Then the editor can't possibly eat me."

The countless distracting thoughts finally turned into the courage to move forward, the girl couldn't help but chuckled, and regained her former elegance and composure.

Time came to the afternoon in a flash. After having lunch, Luo Ye led Lily to take the tram to the Fujimi Bunko Study Room in Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

Chiyoda District is the political and economic center of Japan. It includes many famous buildings. The headquarters of many famous companies are also located in this district.

If Luo Ye remembers correctly, the nine girls in LoveLive who aspire to become the Idol Salvation Academy also seem to live in this area, and Otonokizaka is very close to Akihabara.

Of course, it's hard to say whether they exist in this parallel world, everything is still unknown.

If this world were to be exactly the same as the daily anime hodgepodge he had guessed, then Chiba prefecture next to Tokyo would be amazing.You know, the story stages of animations such as Chunwu, Anmei, Luoqiushe, etc. are all there.

After getting off the tram and walking for a while, Luo Ye stopped a taxi and went directly to the location of the Fujimi study.

The four-wheeled beast galloped on the road, and all pedestrians were trembling with fear, but such a killer was finally defeated by the flashing red signal lights, and people had to sigh with emotion.

This was Lily's description after the car ride. Luo Ye couldn't help but toss her golden sand-like hair with his hand, amused by the exaggerated imagination.

After arriving at the reception hall of the Fujimi study, Luo Ye briefly explained the purpose of coming to the receptionist at the front desk, and showed her the text message from this morning.

The young girl reacted immediately, and stretched out her hand with a smile on her face to indicate the rest area next to her.

"Please wait for a while in the rest area. I will contact editor Machida. However, there seem to be quite a few people who came to see her today. Sir, you may have to wait for a while, don't you mind?"

"It's okay. By the way, do you have any snacks?"

Luo Ye also knew that the editorial affairs were busy, and it was impossible to wait for a fledgling author, so she had a good attitude.

"Of course there is, in order not to make everyone wait impatiently. The rest area is equipped with tea, drinks and desserts, so please use them lightly."

The receptionist at the front desk was talking with a smile, not knowing what kind of gluttony demon was about to usher in.

Chapter 0048 Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu

Because editor Machida Sonoko still had things to deal with, Luo Ye could only be taken to the rest area by the receptionist.

There are tables, chairs, sofas and other facilities here, and about a dozen people are also waiting.Some people sat upright for fear of revealing flaws, while others shook their legs impatiently.The age ranges from teens to forties, there are vigorous high school students, and there are middle-aged uncles with beards.Although the expressions of the people were different, they held the idea of ​​the same goal by different roads. They just wanted their works to be published and published.

Luo Ye glanced at them roughly, but didn't pay much attention, and casually found an empty seat and sat down.

The hostess smiled and brought tea and snacks, and then turned around and returned to the front desk. Lily's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she took it and ate it, mouthful with joy.

Luo Ye took out her mobile phone and checked the messages. Su Jie seemed to have been eliminated in the essay contest. Hearing that Luo Ye was invited by the editor to talk, she was envious and jealous.

Tapping the screen with his fingers, he was about to write a handwritten message to this hard-working online writer, when Lily next to him suddenly tugged at the hem of his clothes, and said pitifully, "Master, it's gone, it's gone."

What's gone?Luo Ye was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the little food brought by the receptionist was not enough for Lily to eat, and it was wiped out in the blink of an eye. A few drops of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and he comforted him: "Lily , After all, this is a public place, so don't be too presumptuous. I'll buy it for you on the way back, so don't be impatient."

"Yeah!" The girl nodded happily, her hair up and down, which seemed to represent her current state of joy.

Just after he breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Ye noticed some faint eyes wandering around her body.

The rest area is very quiet, so the movement just now seems to have attracted the attention of many people.

Luo Ye glanced around in a hurry, and found that most people's eyes were moving closer to this side.Only a few people were unmoved by it, and this also included a beautiful girl in a light blue coat.

She was quietly holding a book and reading, and everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with her, and she exuded a frosty aura that strangers should not get close to.

That familiar feeling made Luo Ye couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

The girl wore a white headband, and her thick black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.She was only about the age of a high school student, but this figure was nothing like that of a person of this age.She is tall and slender, with a plump chest that looks like it's about to come out.A pair of slender legs were tightly wrapped in black silk and held together without a single gap.The black silk penetrates the flesh, glowing brightly, as graceful and exquisite as a masterpiece from the heavens.

The iconic black stockings that seemed to be shining made Luo Ye instantly understand her true identity.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu among passerby heroines.

With An Yilun and Ying Lili both appearing, it is not surprising that she will appear.It's just that Luo Ye didn't expect to meet her in Fujimi's study by such a coincidence. Could it be that she also participated in this essay competition?

As if feeling something, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu raised his head, and the eyes of the two happened to meet.She calmly glanced at the young man not far away who was blatantly looking at this side, frowned subconsciously, and then continued reading on her own.Luo Ye also retracted her gaze and stopped paying too much attention.

Next, editors came to pick up people one after another, and the number of people waiting in the rest area continued to decrease.If Shiyu was able to maintain her composure at the beginning, but after waiting for a while, she really couldn't bear the anxiety about whether her first novel would be published, and impatiently shook her beautiful black silk legs, the frequency became more and more quick.Luo Ye was not as irritable as she was because of Lily's company.

There was a sound of high-heeled footsteps from the corridor, and a young woman in a suit and uniform walked into the rest area quickly, smiling apologetically.

"I'm Sonoko Machida. Sorry to keep you waiting. May I ask who is Ms. Kasumigaoka and who is Mr. Luo Ye?"

She has short hair, only a layer of light makeup on her face, and she is dressed as capable and concise as an ordinary business woman.

Hearing this, Luo Ye and Shi Yu stood up in unison as if they had a heart-to-heart connection, Machida Sonoko smiled and nodded to the two.

"Then both of you, please come with me. It happens to be the same essay competition. Let me tell you the general result."

After all, she led the way ahead, Shi Yu glanced at Luo Ye and followed without hesitation, and Luo Ye quickly followed after pulling Li Li.

"I didn't expect both of them to be so young, college students? They shouldn't be high school students, right?"

On the way, Sonoko Machida asked them familiarly, and her kind attitude made people not repulsive or disgusted.

"Second year in high school." Shi Yu replied lightly.

"Senior year, I'm taking a break from school." Luo Ye naturally only reported her apparent age.

Machida Sonoko almost staggered and fell at such a young age, but fortunately she steadied her footing, wiped off the sweat that didn't exist, and sighed: "It's really a generation of talented people, the two of you may be our light novels A rising star in the world."

Through the long and narrow corridor, several people arrived for the reception.It's not as tall as imagined, it's nothing more than a brightly lit hall divided into several rows of numbered small rooms with plastic panels, and the voices of other people discussing matters can even be heard through the thin panels.

They found an empty reception room and sat down respectively. Sonoko Machida was also unambiguous, and took out two thick stacks of papers from the briefcase and put them on the table.

"Then I'll make a long story short and get straight to the point. Both of your works have won awards in this essay call, and can be published as books through our company. I don't know what you like? The contract is here, please have a look."

She handed over the contract, and Luo Ye and Shi Yu picked it up and quickly browsed through the entries one by one, looking at them very carefully and attentively, not wanting to miss a single detail.Machida Sonoko looked at the two with a smile, and was not surprised by their behavior, as she was used to it.

The first is a series of copyright-related issues. Regarding authorized infringement and other matters, the industry standard is basically the same. After Luo Ye confirmed that it was correct, he checked the remuneration he was more concerned about.

The royalties are the price multiplied by the first printing and eight percent, and the basic remuneration is [-] yen per thousand words.As for the reprinting of the booklet, the additional calculation will be a little more than the first printing fee.

That's a pretty reasonable contract for a rookie writer.Such large companies attach great importance to word-of-mouth and reputation, and they would not deceive people under normal circumstances, especially under the strict requirements of Japan, they dare not act recklessly.

"No big problem, I think it's fine."

Shi Yu nodded after reading the contract carefully, and readily agreed.

She does not write for the sake of earning a lot of money, but simply for her hobby.It is nothing more than to allow more people to appreciate their own works and to be recognized by more people.

However, at this moment, the understatement-like voice of a young man suddenly came from beside him.

"Wait, I have a question. Editor Machida, if the book sales far exceed expectations, then of course the conditions of this contract should be changed?"

Luo Ye's unexpected speech stunned both Shi Yu and Machida Sonoko.

Couldn't help raising her delicate eyebrows, Shi Yu secretly felt a little funny.
