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

Thanks to the cute Feifei Xia, who often stimulates Eriri during chats, Eriri develops an inexplicable sense of crisis.

Moreover, the two of them didn't even say hello to each other in the past few days, just like familiar strangers, which made Ying Lili feel a little uncomfortable.

What's even more uncomfortable is that he calls me, Sawamura-san...

We are just such strangers, you can obviously call me by my name.

In a cafe, a metal spoon stirs the coffee cup.

Wow! After saying such embarrassing things just now, how can the already proud Eriri face Xia Qiu again?

Especially Xia Qiu, who was sitting opposite her, was looking at her with a very strange look.

"Hey! Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just... I'm just..."

Ying Lili couldn't explain it. Her face turned red, and her sharp fangs were exposed. She tried to face Xia Qiu with a stronger attitude, but...

Her strong attitude seems very cute to Xia Qiu.

This is what Eriri is like, so cute~ She looks even cuter when she is stubborn, arrogant, and ashamed.

"Okay, okay, no more jokes. Are you bored lately? Don't you have any other work besides illustrating Four Lies?"

Xia Qiu changed the subject in advance to prevent the golden-haired girl from having wild thoughts.

"Well... I haven't been drawing fan fiction recently. I really want to draw a comic book myself, but..."

However, as a qualified master of comics, Eriri's doujinshi have always been labeled as having beautiful art style but empty plot content.

There's nothing that Eriri can do about it. It's not like she doesn't want to draw comics...but what she draws is totally unappealing except for the style, okay?

"Then, do you want to cooperate with Mr. Kashiwagi Eri?"

"What? I don't know that girl named Kashiwagi Eri!"

He usually pretends to be flat on his chest, but suddenly Eriri realizes that this guy seems to be talking about cooperation!

"What cooperation?"

Xia Qiu knows very well that there is no end to making money. He still has many works to write in the field of light novels, as well as comics, animation, games, etc. If Xia Qiu needs to do all of these, the workload will be extremely huge!

And I have to do this in advance, otherwise what if the readers become immune to it? How can I happily do this?

Moreover, in Xia Qiu's future conception, Eriri, as an artist, is naturally one of the targets to be won over. Is there any need to say about Eriri's strength?

Although he is a master of books, his painting style is very beautiful. In the future, he can be a painter or an artist. There are not many good artists in the Japanese industry now.

Eriri, who is extremely capable, can certainly do the job!

In this regard.

Xia Qiu supported his chin with both hands.

"How about I give you the subject matter and you paint it?"

"Really!"

Ying Lili looked at Xia Qiu with disbelief! She knew Xia Qiu's strength, which was very strong.

If she were to come up with a subject to paint, it would be possible!

It also allows her to hone her story-writing skills.

"Split it into 20/80, you don't mind, do you?"

"Of course, I don't even need the royalties."

Ying Lili was a little excited. She was not short of money, or rather, ACG was her only hobby. She did not care much about the so-called 20:80 profit sharing. What she cared about was the joy of creation.

"In that case, please give me more guidance in the future, Mr. Eriri."

"Uh-huh!!!"

Immersed in joy, Eriri did not notice that Xia Qiu seemed to have called her name.

It wasn't until Xia Qiu left that she realized...

Teacher Eriri...

Uwaa ...

Back home, Eriri threw herself on her bed, twisting, rolling, and crawling!

I'm so ashamed. Why did I say such words at that time?

Some things, only when you recall them afterwards do you realize how shameful they are! Eriri didn't know what she was thinking when she said that.

Thinking back on it now, I feel so embarrassed!

"Ah... my lovely daughter is in love?"

Mrs. Sayuri was downstairs, holding a cup of black tea and listening carefully to what Eriri was doing.

Includes romance!

I just don’t know who the man is. Should I ask Xiaoying Lili to bring him home to meet him?

Hey~ Mrs. Sayuri felt inexplicably happy when she thought about becoming a grandmother in the future.

On the other side, Xia Qiu returned home, rubbed his shoulders, and sent the novel "Your Name" to Changpu. He finally finished writing the novel adapted from the animated film, and he polished many of the plots himself. If it weren't for his level 3 writing ability, it would have been difficult for him to adapt it.

But it's all worth it.

When it comes to making money, it doesn’t matter if it’s a bit hard or tiring, the most important thing is to make a lot of money, okay?

I will put off writing the new book for a while now, let's wait for Four Lies to be released first. After that, I will have to pay Kyoto Animation for the music score, and I can't let Kyoto Animation get it for free.

There are also copyright fees from animation adaptations, and I became a rich man without realizing it.

Hey~

I am so happy. Thinking back to the time when I could barely afford to eat, I am almost becoming a successful person. I am so happy.

So! Log in! Today I will slaughter the Japanese server! The number one player in the Chinese server, Greste, is out!

Half an hour later...

Damn it! Why are all the Japanese LOL players here in China? How shameless! How can the locals survive?

Alas, I am not suitable for competitive games. Pokémon is more suitable for me.

Before starting the game, Xia Qiu browsed through the comments about Four Lies on the Internet, as well as the comments under the soundtrack he had recently released.

Without exception, they are all boastful people.

The Japanese are really good at bragging. They are almost calling themselves the new-age light novel masters.

Well, after the next volume comes out, Xia Qiu will probably be the one who praises others and becomes the one who attacks others!

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

Recently, apart from paying attention to the second volume of Four Lies, Acorus has nothing else to distract him. He lies comfortably in his office chair and stretches himself, his good adult figure clearly visible.

Great! It's great to be idle! Even if Teacher Xia Qiu doesn't go to the book signing event, the sales of the first volume of Four Lies have reached nearly 250,000 copies. If there is a book signing event to stir up the heat, it is estimated that it can exceed 300,000.

If it's 500,000, we have to wait until the second volume of Four Lies comes out. Anyway, if a single volume breaks one million, we'll have to see if Kyoto Animation's animation is good enough.

But... when I think of the ending of the second volume of Four Lies...

Acorus was silent for a while, probably it was a big rhythm...

ding dong~
