I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist.

Sagiri still reacted sensitively, and then continued, "It's Teacher Yueze who is accommodating me. It took so long to cooperate with me. If it weren't for Teacher Yueze..."

Before he finished speaking, an accident happened suddenly.

"Sagiri, open the door. I have something to ask you."

There was a knock on the door behind me and my mother's call.

shit!

Sagiri looked back at the door and then at the computer screen, feeling anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

"Um, Teacher Yuezi, I'm sorry! Let's talk later."

The video connection in front of me was suddenly cut off.

About 10 minutes passed before Sagiri took the initiative to send a video invitation.

She once again expressed her apology.

"It's ok."

He shook his head and said indifferently.

"Um, Teacher Yuezi, did you hear that just now?"

Sagiri asked nervously as her little hands unconsciously pinched her breasts.

"Would you believe it if I said no?"

He hesitated and asked.

'Really, Mom, it's so loud...! '

Sagiri complained in her heart.

This is normal. Her mother didn't know that she was video chatting with others. She just thought that she was concentrating on drawing or watching animation, so she was a little louder.

In fact, the problem was not very important. It was just that because of poor academic performance, the class teacher called me and my mother came to give me some advice.

'So what to do now? '

Sagiri was at a loss as she didn't expect her real name to be exposed.

The name 'Sagiri' doesn't sound like a boy, does it?

At this time, she noticed the other person's expression again, but found that the other person still looked ordinary.

"Is it possible, Teacher Yuezi, that you have discovered it a long time ago?"

Sagiri approached the screen and asked in surprise.

"What did you say?"

"The fact that I'm a girl."

"Well, almost."

"When exactly was I exposed?"

The girl was a little hard to understand.

"I discovered it when we met on the first day, because your disguise was flawed and your long silver-white hair was looming in my eyes."

He pointed out decisively.

"Exposed on the first day?"

Hearing this result, Sagiri was a little discouraged.

Unexpectedly, his elaborate disguise was completely ineffective.

Or is it that Teacher Yuese's sense of smell is too keen?

Wait, if you put it like this...

"Besides that, what else did you find, Teacher Yuezi?"

The girl continued to ask questions with doubts in her heart.

"Teacher Erromanga, you must not be too old, right? You are too short in terms of height. You can use a voice changer to hide your speaking voice, but the specific words cannot be hidden... Therefore, Teacher Erromanga should He’s an elementary school student, right?”

Simply, Hikigaya Hachiman took this opportunity to be honest.

"Eh……?"

Sagiri made an incredulous sound, and the expression under the mask was completely stupid.

16 makes a grand debut...!

His true identity was completely exposed!

Sagiri felt incredible and also very embarrassed.

At this time, any prevarication methods were useless, and the girl had no choice but to admit it.

"Since Teacher Yuezi already knows, I won't pretend anymore."

Sagiri made up her mind in an instant and took off her mask. What appeared in front of her was a beautiful girl with neat features, tender and delicate features, and her water-blue eyes were like a clear spring.

However, the moment the two sides looked at each other, the girl immediately averted her eyes.

"Is this the true face of Eromanga-sensei?"

Hikigaya Hachiman let out an appropriate exclamation.

"But, why? Even if I know your details, there is no need to show your true face, right?"

He asked again.

"Yes..."

Sagiri looked dumbfounded, then put the mask back on, coughing twice to hide her embarrassment.

"Ahem, Teacher Yuezi, please forget that scene just now!"

"uh-huh."

His expression was actually a bit playful.

"Teacher Eromanga..."

"I told you I don't know anyone with that name."

"By the way, do you have to say it every time?"

"Well, since Teacher Yuezi knows it, then...just call me by my name."

The girl thought that the two had become a community of destiny and would be together for a long time in the future, so she took the initiative a little bit, but her tone was really shy and her face was extremely hot.

"Well, on the other hand, I will also tell you my name, Sagiri. My name is Hikigaya Hachiman."

He followed what the other party said and responded.

"Yes, Teacher Yuezi, I understand."

Sagiri quickly recovered and appeared more lively and comfortable because of the mask.

The girl didn't call her by her first name, probably because of the age gap between the two. This distance also made Hikigaya Hachiman feel that it was just right, so he didn't correct it.

Due to various factors, after a long time and preparations, the day has come to the early spring season.

Everything is about to recover, but the cold wind left behind by winter seems to be lingering in the world, making people dare not take it lightly.

Walking on the street, Hikigaya Hachiman still had a scarf wrapped around his neck to keep his body warm.

After school today, he did not go straight home, but chose to wander on the street.

It's not accurate to say that I was just wandering around. To be more precise, I probably wanted to see if there were any advertisements about "Summer Returns" in the bookstore that cooperated with the Immortal River.

After visiting several stores in a row, I found that there were indeed advertisements for "Summer Returns". Although they were very inconspicuous, they were there anyway.

In addition, he also discovered that the debut time of his works should be the latest among this batch, and he would have to wait until the end of next month.

Others have basically been released one by one in the past two months, and some works are even very popular and are still placed in the most conspicuous position in bookstores after being sold for a period of time.

I don’t know if he will be treated like that one day.

"There should be, right?"

He muttered something in his mind.

With such excitement, enthusiasm and worry, Hikigaya Hachiman spent this month.

The third semester of the first grade was coming to an end, and he was about to enter another school and change classes. Although Hikigaya Hachiman remained silent, he could still feel the excitement in the hearts of the class.

Inexplicably, he had the same resonance.

Next week is the time to decide life or death!

The light novel industry in this world is more developed than in the previous life in my memory, and its potential is much greater. That's why Ms. Yamada's sales increased so quickly. Two volumes were released and quickly reached sales of more than [-].

Correspondingly, the requirements for sales data are also different. He already knows the first printing data of "Summer Returns", which is [-] copies in total, which is neither too much nor too little in this world.

In fact, this data is not very important. It is just how much the manual library values ​​your work. What is important is another data, which is the digestibility.

The digestibility rate is a more accurate data than the positive rating because it indicates how many people are really willing to spend money to buy it.

High digestibility will result in increased printing, and low digestibility will result in reduced printing. Generally speaking, only when the digestibility reaches 60% or above will there be no loss.

Of course, in fact, many unpopular works are compensated by the money earned from popular works, which does not mean that they will definitely be cut in half.

The day when first grade ended was also the day when "Summer Returns" was released.

Hikigaya Hachiman said goodbye to everyone and came to a bookstore selling light novels.

He had observed before that this bookstore happened to be the closest to his home, and it was also a bookstore that cooperated with Fusukawa Bunko. It had direct sales of "Summer Returns".

The first time he entered the bookstore, his eyes focused on the promotional notice on the stack of books. There was an illustration of "Summer Returns". The image was Shinpei Netai and Xiaofushio. Sagiri drew it beautifully. , compared to the cute style before the special training, it will undoubtedly appear more realistic and outstanding.

Isn’t this the first image established?

"Guest, do you want to buy a light novel? This is "Summer Returns" which was just released today. Are you interested? You can tell by looking at the illustrations. The female characters are very cute~"

The female clerk came to him, noticed his gaze, picked up a book, held it in her hand, and smiled with a service sign.

"Wait, let me think about it."

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't agree immediately and stayed in the bookstore, wandering around and observing secretly.

Not long after, a student wearing a school uniform like him walked in. He looked like a high school student. The female clerk quickly focused on him.

"Please give me a copy of this."

Before the female clerk could introduce him, the high school student directly designated "Summer Again" with a very clear goal.

After the other party left, Hikigaya Hachiman came over again, picked up a copy of "Summer Returns", and asked pretending to be casual.

"Is this work really beautiful? The person just now seemed to have come here to buy it, right?"

"That, I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know what it is like."

The female clerk answered honestly.

"But the sales on the first day seem to be pretty good, and it seems to be quite popular among new books."

She lowered her head and glanced at the pile of books composed of "Summer Returns". It was obviously much lower than the other piles of books.

"Well, I'll buy one and give it a try. I hope the author won't let me down..."

Hikigaya Hachiman stopped asking any more questions and chose to pay. However, when he left, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Although it is only a small bookstore, there will be some accidents, but from a small perspective, the situation seems to be quite optimistic.

He felt that his future was shining brightly!

"Onii-chan is in a good mood today."

As soon as Hikigaya Hachiman returned home, Komachi, who was watching TV in the living room, looked over.

"Don't talk yet! Let me guess."

He was about to speak when his sister raised her hand to signal.
