The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

"Ah, it's Xia Qiujun, good morning. Xiao Qiong has to go to school today too."

Even though she was busy, Mrs. Xigong still had a smile on her face as she greeted Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu also responded with a polite smile.

"Good morning, Mrs. Nishimiya. Would you like to leave Naoko and Yuzuru to me? I can just take them to school."

Nishimiya Shoko and Xiao Qiong are not much different in age from Yuzuru, and they just happened to go to the same elementary school. Thinking that any help would be helpful, Xia Qiu made this suggestion, which could also help this hard-working woman.

"That's it."

Mrs. Xigong lowered her head in thought. She was not afraid that Xia Qiu would abduct her daughter, but she was wondering if this would cause too much trouble for Xia Qiu.

"It's okay. My way to school is not far from Xiao Qiong and her friends' school, so I can just take them there together."

As if he had seen through Mrs. Xigong's concerns, Xia Qiu mentioned that he was just there to take care of the two children.

Okay, Mrs. Xigong finally agreed to the suggestion, thanked Xia Qiu for his help again, and then handed the two daughters to Xia Qiu.

Then I hurriedly prepared to take the tram to work.

Neon's morning rush hour is notoriously horrible, comparable to India's ticket-carrying trains.

It's really hard work.

After sending the three little ones to elementary school, he repeatedly told them to be good in school, and told Xiao Qiong to call him if she had any problems. Then Xia Qiu also prepared to go to Sobu High School.

"Is the sales of Four Lies expected to exceed 500,000?"

Looking at the phone on the road, it seemed that the editor-in-chief Changpu sent me a message last night, but it was late at night and Xia Qiu had already fallen asleep at that time, so he didn't notice the Line message.

Now when he picked it up and took a look, Xia Qiu realized that the sales of Four Lies had reached 3 in the second week, which was about half of the sales in the first week. But after all, light novels only have high sales in the first week.

The sales of 30,000 copies in the second week were enough to show how popular this light novel is, and it is possible that a single volume could exceed 500,000 copies.

This is 500,000 for a single volume? The fact that this light novel has sold 500,000 copies simply due to word of mouth is enough to prove that it is a great success.

It’s pretty good~ The higher the sales volume, the more money you get.

Summer and autumn are still quite pragmatic~

It's just...

[Teacher Xia Qiu, are you free to come to Dengeki Bunko tomorrow? To celebrate the popularity of Four Lies, the editorial department has decided to release a signed version, estimated at 500 copies, which will be included in the supply sent to various bookstores as a hidden edition promotion, and also as a way to thank the fans who support you.]

Signed version?

Hmm, that works.

Anyway, he has nothing to do, so he might as well promote his own book to increase sales, and the money will be his own.

I responded to the editor-in-chief Changpu with a "hello". I don't know if he was waiting for Xia Qiu's reply, but he replied quickly.

But the following news...

[Teacher, are you interested in holding a book signing event? I believe it will definitely boost the sales of Four Lies! (*σ′?`)σ. ]

Regarding the book signing event, Xia Qiu only had one sentence in response.

【Da Me! 】

Others may not know, but doesn’t he understand what the second volume of Four Lies is about?

It's a knife! It's a knife!

What if someone secretly took a photo of me and posted it online? If someone I know saw it, wouldn't I be exposed? I'm afraid I'd be hit with tons of razor blades in the future!

Forget about attending book signing events. I'll wait until I graduate. By then I can just stay at home and be a lazy person.

Hey hey hey ~ isn’t it beautiful?

At the same time, in the editorial department of Dengeki Bunko.

"How about Calamus?"

"Editor-in-chief? Teacher Xia Qiu promised to come to the library and help sign 500 sets of Four Lies. We can cooperate with the promotion here."

"Okay, okay, I knew the lolita teacher wouldn't refuse. Then we can hand over the razor blades ourselves... ahem, thank the lolita teacher in person."

Did the editor-in-chief say something extraordinary?

Acorus tilted his head.

"However, he did not agree to the book signing event. The reason he gave was that he did not want to reveal his identity yet."

"Um……"

The editor-in-chief stroked his chin and spoke slowly.

"I think it's normal. I guess the lolita teacher is afraid that she will have trouble in her life after becoming famous. After all, the popularity of Four Lies is obvious to the naked eye."

However, the editor still admires Teacher Xia Qiu very much. After all, who wouldn’t want to show off when he becomes famous at a young age?

At least in the eyes of the editor-in-chief, very few.

There are some talented high school students who become famous with a book at a very young age, and without exception, they start showing off their achievements on the Internet.

There are very few people like Teacher Xia Qiu who can remain calm.

........................

In addition to the news about Acorus, of course there is also news about our senior sister Kasumigaoka Utaha on the phone!

[Is my junior here? ]

[This is amazing, Junior, did you see that? The second week sales of the book about the four lies are out online, Junior has become famous with this book. ]

........................

[Junior? I want to discuss with you the conception of the third volume of Love Metronome? ]

[Junior? Are you asleep? ]

………………

[Hehehe, unfaithful men will suffer retribution. ]

Xia Qiu wanted to speak but hesitated, and then he wanted to speak but hesitated...

Then he looked at the time again.

【1:36】Message sent.

No? This woman has a cat problem.

Back to school, back to my class, back to my hometown where I sit by the window in the back row!

The classmates in the class just glanced at Xia Qiu's arrival and then said nothing more. It seems that the rumors from yesterday have become less popular today.

As Xia Qiu expected, this group of high school students were just idle, and what Ying Lili was worried about was not true.

However, what surprised Xia Qiu was that Ying Lili seemed to be in a bad mood today.

What's wrong with this guy? Is his period coming? He looked at me with a gloomy face.

As if I had cheated on her?

I don't think I have offended this young lady in any way, have I?

Ying Lili is indeed very unhappy...

The reason was last Friday.

That fat woman was really abominable, jumping in her face and mocking her! While Eriri was drawing fanfiction, she sent herself a photo of her and Xia Qiu having an intimate meal on the rooftop.

Damn it! Aren’t they just acquaintances? When did they become so close? It’s really damn annoying!

When Eriri thought of the affectionate look on Kasumigaoka Utaha and Xia Qiu on the rooftop, she felt an indescribable distress in her heart.

It seemed like there was a resentment stuck in my chest.

Even if that were the case, Ying Lili would just be sulking for the rest of her life. Who hasn't had the experience of exchanging lunch with Xia Qiu?

Who would have thought that Kasumigaoka Utaha's provocation was more than that.

This guy! This guy actually sent a direct message saying that she is unattractive!

[Hey, little golden retriever? It seems that your relationship with Xia Qiu is just like this? When he knew that I heard those rumors, he tried his best to clarify with me, for fear that I had misunderstood something. ]

[Hmm~ It seems there is no need for misunderstanding~ Xia Qiujun still calls the little golden retriever Sawamura-kun, right? Tsk tsk tsk, it's really... psst~ very ordinary. 】

[Oh, that's right, that's the relationship between you two. ]

Ying Lili: (???皿??)??3??

I'm furious! Really furious! What does this fat woman mean? Is she saying that I have no charm? In Xia Qiu's heart, I'm just an ordinary classmate!
