Anime: My younger sister, Sora, starts as an illustrator!

After sending Kato Megumi home, Kasugano Toru left quickly. He left like a deserter.

Thinking back to what had just happened, he wanted to slap himself twice. He was always afraid of getting into trouble, but when he faced Kato Megumi, he couldn’t help but get close to this girl.

He didn’t have many friends at school, but he got along well with this girl.

“Forget it, forget it. Don’t think about it.” He gently touched his face, just like Kasugano Toru who had just been slapped, and shook his head.

How could such a beautiful girl like him?

Bah, bah, bah, no, why should a handsome man like me look for a girlfriend?

Speaking of beautiful girls, the one I’m going to meet later can barely be considered a beauty, right?

Although no one wants her, I’ve experienced countless failed blind dates (crossed out)

……

The woman named Machida Sonoko is in an extremely anxious mood.

If a woman wants to make a name for herself in the workplace in Japan, she has to work several times harder than men.

These don’t matter. As long as she can get rewards after working hard, Machida Sonoko feels that she can still tolerate it.

But the depressing thing is here. Obviously, her qualifications, abilities, and performance are better than those of another idiot of the same period as her, but just because that person is a man, he easily got the position she dreamed of.

And what about her? She was robbed of her promotion position in the workplace, she experienced the XXth failed blind date emotionally, and she met an unreliable author at work.

It’s unreliable, but it’s not completely unreliable.

At least the first volume of the girl’s work was still very good. Not only did she stand out among the newcomers and won the title of the newcomer king of the Undead River Bookstore, but the first volume also achieved great success.

But for some reason, the writing of the second volume fell into great difficulties.

First, there was a temporary change of leadership at Fuzugawa, and the new editor-in-chief descended from the sky with an attitude of total denial. He doesn’t like anything that the former editor-in-chief likes; and he likes anything that the former editor-in-chief doesn’t like.

When encountering such a person, Machida Sonoko really wanted to ask him:”The former editor-in-chief doesn’t like to eat shit, do you like it?”

So the novel that the former editor-in-chief liked was directly relegated to the cold palace. If Machida Sonoko didn’t have some connections and she had a good personal relationship with the author of this book, it would not be impossible for the book to be directly cut off.

Then, there was a serious disagreement between the author and the illustrator.

Machida Sonoko couldn’t say who was right or wrong about this matter.

The author’s original intention was to attract more readers through his own words, so that true fans could immerse themselves in the world created by words.

But the illustrator also has his own ideas.

“What the hell? Light novel? The one where you get toilet paper for free when you buy illustrations? No matter how you write it, as long as the illustrations are attractive enough, isn’t it? A little exposure here, a little exposure there, plus a sexy JK character, otakus will just lick you to pieces, okay?”

From a certain perspective, what the illustrator said is absolutely right.

Except for some popular light novels, the rest of the light novels are really the kind of thing where you get toilet paper for free when you buy illustrations in their eyes.

It is not an exaggeration to say that a good illustrator and a few exquisite illustrations can have a life-saving effect, and can save a book from collapse and support the novel from collapse.

So, one is the original author of the novel, and the other is a well-known illustrator in the industry, and the two had an irreconcilable conflict.

After the mediation of Machida Sonoko, the contradiction was not only not repaired, but also became irreversible after a fierce quarrel. After that quarrel, Machida Sonoko was like a wronged young wife, who did not dare to offend either side and could only silently bear everything.

But things have happened, but the book is still It has to be written. Not to mention that Machida Sonoko has paid a lot of favors in exchange for the continued sale of this book. For the author, this novel is like her own child.

No mother can watch her child being strangled by herself.

In order to be able to sell it normally, and to help that careless guy to cheer up again, Machida Sonoko has been busy looking for a substitute illustrator for her recently.

But everyone knows that the Japanese Illustrators Association is actually only about a few hundred people. Although many illustrators working at Fuzugawa Bookstore have not joined this so-called Illustrators Association, they basically have their own fixed partners.

And every industry has its own circle. When this unsophisticated author offends the illustrators in the industry… When a big boss is approached, people in the circle will often unite intentionally or unintentionally to exclude this author.

Ganging up can happen anywhere.

Fortunately, some time ago, when Machida Sonoko was on a business trip and passed by the streets of Tokyo, she met Kasugano Toru who was painting.

In the hands of that young boy, the paintbrush seemed to have life, flying up and down.

Having been in the industry for so long, Machida Sonoko has seen many illustrators, and she has indeed seen many who paint better than this boy.

But she has never seen an illustrator as talented as Kasugano Toru.

What does this show? It shows that this is a rough diamond!

Any potential stock is worth investing in, especially for an old hand like Machida Sonoko who has experienced the beatings of society, she understands this truth better than anyone else.

Although illustration is not her specialty. In charge of the field, but as an editor in the field of light novels, can she never deal with illustrators for the rest of her life?

As long as she can tie down this undiscovered boy, the authors under her won’t have to worry about illustrations for a long time in the future.

And today is the day she and Kasugano Toru have an appointment to meet.

Although the boy was obviously moved by the remuneration she offered when they first met, Machida Sonoko herself knew that whether today’s deal could be concluded depended on the boy’s ideas and the author’s intentions. What if the boy also wanted to take the easiest but most effective approach? It is estimated that today’s ending would definitely be unpleasant.

Just as she was daydreaming, the chair opposite her was pulled away.

“”Editor Machida, has the person you mentioned not arrived yet?” A hot girl sat down in front of Machida Sonoko.

This was a girl who could make Machida Sonoko, a social person, feel ashamed. Especially after she crossed her arms, her inner shame reached its peak.

“How did Xiaoshi grow up? She is only 17 years old, how could she be so big? Machida Yuanzi clicked her tongue and shrank back with some inferiority.

She is not small.

“Sorry, I’m late.” Kasugano Toru hurried to the agreed place.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the strong black straight-haired girl and Machida Sonoko who looked aggrieved.

He thought he was late.
