Variety manga: My online date is Megumi Kato

When Machida Enzi said this, she glanced at Kasumigaoka Shiu who was silent beside her from the corner of her eye.

Seeing that she didn't respond, he continued: "Although each volume of Yuta has sold tens of thousands of copies, in fact, when this data is included in a larger base, only one or two people out of every hundred people have read it. "

“Taking into account factors such as location and time, I really don’t know how many people can attend the autograph session.”

Kasumigaoka Shiu had a real experience in this aspect. When she held the first autograph session, she had to wait for a long time and only a few people attended.

That's when An Yilun came into Kasumigaoka Shiyu's sight...

Kasumigaoka Shiha placed one hand on the edge of the car window, resting her head on the palm, looking at the scenery passing by quickly outside the car window, and heard Machida Enko's words.

He said with a dull expression: "Yeah, maybe we can finish it by two or three o'clock in the afternoon today."

The venue for this book signing was outside a bookstore in a shopping mall.

Machida Enzi was afraid of damaging the confidence of her two subordinates, so she smiled and comforted them: "Don't worry, these are all things that must be experienced from a young writer to a great writer."

"I believe that Xiaoshi and Yuta will become famous light novel writers in the future."

In fact, Yuta Kijima's "Four Lies" had already begun to emerge at this time, especially when the story developed to a small climax, that's when the publisher vigorously promoted it.

It's just that maybe the publishing house will also receive a lot of knives.

As for Kasumigaoka Shiu's "Love Metronome", it is also slowly showing the characteristics of her light novel. As long as it develops steadily, it will be a stable potential stock.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu hummed noncommittally.

Kijima Yuta also nodded.

Soon the car fell into silence again, and during this time, Kijima Yuta also began to close his eyes and rest.

……

Soon a few people arrived at the event venue where the book signing was held.

Kijima Yuta looked at a huge poster wall with two tables placed in front of it, and the rest was just a few promotional posters. He looked a little surprised at Kasumigaoka Shiu with his arms folded next to him.

"Is this how all autograph sessions are held?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu pursed her red lips and nodded, while complaining: "We are just ordinary light novel writers. Do you think it will be like the book signings held by traditional writers?"

"And the publishing house has been so perfunctory for so many years..."

Yuta Kijima's disdain for the publishing house can also be clearly heard in her tone.

Machida Enzi stood beside the two of them. When she heard Kasumigaoka Shiu complaining about the publishing house, she felt an inexplicable feeling of powerlessness. She laughed and said, "Actually, the publishing house's publicity for you is mainly in other places."

"The book signing is mainly just a formality, a simple interaction with readers."

"By the way, do you want to put on makeup?" Machida Enko looked at the two of them and suggested, "If necessary, the makeup artist we are looking for is at the back."

Looking at the two handsome men and beautiful women, Machida Enzi felt that a makeup artist was not necessary at all, but still upheld the editor's sense of responsibility and asked.

As expected, both of them shook their heads and refused.

Light novel writers don’t rely on their looks, so there is no need to put on makeup.

Machida Enzi then went to arrange other related matters.

Kasumigaoka Shiu and Kijima Yuta didn't start the autograph session. They both had nothing to do so they walked to the table and sat down.

The two tables were very close to each other, with only a simple dividing line between them.

Kasumigaoka Shiha habitually crossed her legs. Although her outfit today was not the usual Toyozaki uniform, her slender thighs were still wrapped in smooth black stockings.

Kijima Yuta tried his best to control his gaze not to look there, and started to ask about other things, "Senior, is this your second autograph session?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu gently twirled her hair around her ears and moved her phoenix eyes lightly, "Yes, the fact that an unpopular writer like me can hold this autograph session is all because of my juniors."

Machida Enko had already told her this before.

The main purpose this time is to take advantage of Yuta Kijima's high popularity to promote her works. Although the second and third volumes of "Metronome of Love" have a good reputation, compared to "Four Lies", which has a vague new star, Still a little worse.

The publisher believes that this time the book signing will be over, and the two people's light novel will usher in a wave of popularity.

"No... I thought it would be better to hold a signing party for a newcomer like me because of my senior sister's honor." Yuta Kijima touched his head and said modestly.

The corners of Kasumigaoka Shiyu's lips raised slightly.

"Although I'm very happy that my junior said that, you can tell by the number of people queuing on both sides later." She said with a smile, looking around the event venue, and then landed on Yuta Kijima.

"By the way, Sister Yuzuru's "The Shape of Sound" is also very popular online."

"I really don't know why junior brother has so many ideas in his mind."

As she said that, she blinked and looked at Kijima Yuta.

Kijima Yuta looked at the gaze that seemed to pry his head open, and silently looked away, "Mainly, I didn't expect that the Glass incident would end so dramatically..."

Anyway, writing the manuscript for "The Shape of Sound" every month doesn't take much of his time, so he can just put this off for now.

"After reading my junior's two light novels, I also have the idea of ​​​​conceiving a new work." Kasumigaoka Shiu said lazily, "My current idea is to finish "Love Metronome" by writing one or two more volumes. "

Kijima Yuta looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect that the senior sister already had the idea of ​​​​constructing a new work, but he still encouraged: "Senior sister's idea is very good. How are you preparing the specific ideas for the new work?"

After Kasumigaoka Shiyu thought for a moment, she pursed her lips and said, "I haven't thought about the specifics yet, but I am sure that the new one will be of the same type as "Metronome of Love"."

She had no desire to write about the brave time travel or harem novels on the market.

So the next light novel can definitely be of the pure love genre.

"so……"

Kasumigaoka Shiha tilted her head slightly and looked at Kijima Yuta, "You will help me, junior, who will use the material for a light novel later, right?"

Kijima Yuta was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "As long as I can help, it will be no problem."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled slightly when he heard this, "Then I do have a subject I want to write about."

"What subject matter."

"It's a series of stories about a man and a woman working in the steel city who lived together by chance..."
