Sister Hui Ye Wants Me to Be Reliable

"...Well, I'm sorry, Brother Yuxing."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Zhu shook her head and dialed another number.

"Hey, Kasumigaoka-senpai, about helping with the signing event—"

Chapter 32 Progress to Zero and Raiders Difficulty ([-])

Sunday, around eleven o'clock in the morning.

In the bookstore of Undead River Bunko, the famous light novel writer Xia Shizi's another masterpiece after "Love Metronome", the signing activity of "White Tears" was held here.

The last time Kasumigaoka Shiyu held a signing event was when "Love Metronome" was just released.

Since then, due to a series of changes and the right to speak brought about by the sales of works, Kasumi Hill no longer accepts the signing activities hosted by Bunko.

So after the new book was published, her editor Machida Sonoko did not mention this matter.

The new book was released a few days ago and received good reviews once it was released.

"White Tears" has a more sophisticated writing, more subtle dialogue, and a more fascinating new plot than "Love Metronome". As soon as it was put on the shelves, some bookstores were all sold out in less than two days, and had to place additional orders .

Under such circumstances, Machida Sonoko received an order from the upper echelon of the library, asking her to see if Kasumi Shiko had any ideas about loosening up and holding a signing event.

Then there is this event.

"Oh, Shi Yu would let go and agree to hold a signing event. I was really shocked."

At the signing event, there was still a period of time before the signing event officially started at [-] o'clock. Sonoko Machida, who was preparing in the venue, looked at the book fans who arrived early outside the venue and lined up to grab the number plate, and expressed such emotion.

It's not that editor Machida is uncommon, it's just that when she contacted Kasumigaoka Shiwa on the phone, she just thought about routinely conveying the affairs, and she would refuse to report as always, so that she could complete the task.

As a result, Kasumigaoka was silent for two seconds after listening, said "no problem, the time will be on the weekend", then hung up the phone, causing editor Machida to put down the phone for 3 minutes before digesting this huge change, and quickly Call back to confirm authenticity.

"I didn't want to hold a signing event before." Kasumigaoka sat in the rest area and passed the time with a copy of "The Monogatari" in his hand. "Now I just changed my mind a little. Anyway, this kind of thing is nothing It’s just a matter of agreeing or disagreeing. Since the library wants to promote the new book in this way, it’s not a bad thing.”

"I see. I always thought that Shiwa was a very stubborn type. Once she made a decision, she wouldn't change it easily." Editor Machida couldn't stop laughing.

"People are subject to change. Times change and times change." Xia Zhiqiu didn't lift his head, "It's really not like me to be obsessed with trivial matters."

"Hmph—that's why I said I had a new idea at that time." Machida Sonoko pondered, "Who inspired you to give up this idea?"

Xia Zhiqiu turned a page, and at the same time responded lightly: "I don't know for sure, maybe it has something to do with others, maybe I just figured it out myself. As for how to understand it, it is Miss Machida's freedom."

"Hahaha, Shiyu didn't talk like this before." Editor Machida laughed more and more happily, but he didn't continue to dig deeper.

Xia Shizi is the author she is responsible for, and she has released a new work that is good enough, and she only needs to care about this.If the person concerned doesn't want to talk too much, there is no need to ask to upset the other party.

So the editor in charge changed the topic direction, "Speaking of which, the day before yesterday I said that there was a shortage of people at the event, because it was necessary to assist Xia Shizi, so once there was a shortage of candidates, there was no way to find a suitable one. But Shi Yu told me Said that a suitable temporary candidate has been contacted, have you come?"

Because Xia Zhiqiu is picky, she can't agree to replace someone casually.

"It's about time." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu raised her wrist to confirm the time.

It was eleven past fifteen, and the appointed time was eleven twenty.

Other preparations are done by someone from the organizer, so there is no need for that person to come early.

Just need to have enough time to contact before the event starts.

Besides, there are other goals in mind today.

While Kasumigaoka was stretching with a book in hand, a staff member walked up to Editor Machida and whispered to her.

"Shiyu, there is a boy in a black uniform who came over from the staff passage, and said that Xia Shizi introduced him."

come yet?Kasumi Hill put down his hand.

"Well, let him come, if that's the right number."

When she found out that there was a shortage of people that day, Xia Zhiqiu thought about it, and originally planned to ask Ying Lili, but she guessed that the other party had a personality of staying at home than herself, and she was not willing to do such a thing.

So I went to Shigong Shizhu to discuss it. The battle of Xia COMI left a very deep impression on Xia Zhiqiu's mind.

"Eighty percent of a man's job is to make decisions, and the rest is like prizes. 』

He did act accordingly.

Although I don't dare to expect Shizhu Shigong to be kind and helpful to me, but at least I will help out with some ideas-after all, I can be regarded as a companion of the club now.

With such a purpose in mind, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu contacted Shinomiya Shizhu, and the other party rejected the request to come and help as expected, but also promised to help find a candidate, not necessarily guaranteed to be found.

I didn't talk too much, but within 10 minutes, I gave a reply.

The candidate is the student council president of Shuzhiin.

On the last day of summer vacation, Kasumigaoka met a part-time waiter in the family restaurant-at that time, she helped her and Kato go to the back kitchen and asked Shinomiya Shizhu to come out.

I'm not impressed, but since Shinomiya Shizhu recommends it, it's worth confirming in person.

However, just after she approved this suggestion, Shinomiya Shizhu made a new request.

"Try to capture the opponent."

There seems to be some reason for the unexpected request.

Xia Zhiqiu knows that he can't ask, but he can infer the specific motive after meeting.

Besides, Shigong Shizhu will make such a request, which means that person is not ordinary.
