How to Develop a Sick Brother Control

"Well, then it's hard for you, Mr. Kimura."

Tong Nai nodded dignifiedly, and then, she continued to cast her somewhat surprised eyes on Shi Yu who was behind Kimura,

"Uh, and—"

"—Ah, this is what I mentioned before, the current popular, beautiful girl light novel writer who has transferred to our mystery library - Kasumi Shiko-sensei, Miss Takasaka should have heard of Kasumi Shiko-sensei? "

Kimura said to Kirino with a certain smugness,

"Of course, the change of the editorial department of Teacher Kasumi Shizi has not been officially announced. Although it has basically been confirmed, I hope that Miss Takasaka and your family will not disclose it. After today's negotiation, we also hope that you can sign a contract. A non-disclosure agreement."

"Well, that's fine."

Kirino's hesitant eyes turned to Kazuya, and after receiving the latter's affirmation, he nodded.

"So, Miss Kosaka Kirino, right?

Also, Miss Takasaka's brother, Mr. Kosaka, hello, I'm Kasumi Shiko. "

Shi Yu stood up and said in her usual cold voice when dealing with strangers, although she was saying

"Mr. Takasaka"

He could also clearly feel that the corners of her mouth were curved, but this at least proved that Shi Yu had no hope of revealing her identity in this situation.

And Shi Yu's cooperating performance also made Kazuya and the others relieved. Although it was a little embarrassing to communicate with Shi Yu in such an official way, at least the two sides could eliminate the interference of some off-site factors. , began a good discussion.

Kazuya stood up, stretched out his hand and shook Shi Yu, and said:

"Well, Teacher Xia Shizi, I've heard your name before, so I'll trouble you today."

Kazuya had physical contact with Shiyu for the first time since their date a month ago, so Kazuya's heart still trembled involuntarily when he held Shiyu's soft and cold hand with his own. For a moment, especially when he felt the calluses on Shi Yu's fingers due to long-term contact with the keyboard, although this had nothing to do with him, he still had an inexplicable reason.

"Uh, Aragaki—well, Mr. Takasaka?

Are you holding my hand too long? "

Shi Yu took off her sunglasses and said with a light smile.

"Ah, that's it, sorry, um, I was a little distracted just now."

Kazuya withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and at the same time as he sat down, he also attracted a cold gaze from Yingri Li who was beside him.

Although everyone was trying their best to cover up, the audience was still in a weird and awkward atmosphere. At this time, Kimura, who was the only actual outsider, didn't know whether he was too good at observing the atmosphere or too bad at it. Observing the atmosphere, he just clapped his hands vigorously and said:

"Okay, since everyone has already introduced each other, the discussion on our novel will begin, right?

This time it's just a small meeting before the official meeting, so everyone can relax a bit. "

Although the timing of Kimura's words was indeed a little out of place, it objectively relieved everyone's embarrassment. After Kimura finished speaking, everyone nodded and entered the discussion mode.

"Uh, editor Kimura, I have a question, it seems that this conference is a little different from what I heard,"

Tong Nai raised his hand first and asked,

"When you contacted me last month, you told me that this discussion should be a more formal meeting."

"Well, Miss Takasaka, this is what I want to tell you. There is a reason for this discussion meeting to change from a formal meeting organized by the editorial department to a small consultation meeting for a few of us."

Kimura replied.

"Well, what's the reason?"

"Miss Takasaka, I'm very sorry. The agreement with you that we will soon turn your novel into a physical book needs to be discussed in detail now."

Kimura was very calm, but revealed something that surprised everyone present.

"Can you please explain in detail?

Mr. Kimura,"

Kazuya has noticed that Tong Nao's face has become a little ugly, stood up and asked,

"You mean Kirino's novels won't be published as physical books, do you?"

"Well, it's not like that, Mr. Takasaka,"

Kimura shook his head a little embarrassedly and said,

"The process of making a physical book of Miss Kosaka's novel is already under discussion. Of course, when I discovered Miss Kosaka's online novel, I was firmly in favor of turning this book into a physical book. At that time, the editorial department also We basically agreed with this point of view, so we decided to contact Ms. Takasaka, and initially decided to have a meeting with Ms. Takasaka this month, and at that time also reached an oral agreement with Ms. Takasaka for publication."

"So, why did you make such a change?"

Kazuya asked, but looking at Shi Yu behind Kimura, Kazuya already understood a bit in his heart.

"Well, after the new year, a new editor-in-chief joined the department responsible for the new development of campus romance novels. After reviewing the previous reservation plan, the editor-in-chief asked for the physical book of Miss Kosaka's "Mei Kong". Proposal for reconsideration."

Before Kimura finished speaking, Kazuya had a certain hunch in his heart, and sure enough, Kimura's words also confirmed his conjecture.

This new editor-in-chief must be Machida, although I don’t know whether Machida did this because he felt that Kirino’s novel did not fit the style of publication, or because he learned about Kirino’s relationship with himself and wanted to take revenge in private. A little - and I also think the former is more likely, because Machida doesn't seem to be the kind of person who abandons the public for personal reasons - but, what is certain is that the current materialization of Kirino's Internet novels, now Facing this big mountain edited by Machida.

And Machida's style, Kazuya, can't understand it any more. She can pinpoint the essence of a problem at any time. Even if she has other ideas, she will cover this idea well under the core problem, so, There is no point in discussing why Machida rejected Kirino's novel's publication proposal. The key is how to solve this problem.

Kazuo also glanced at Shi Yu, who had been drinking tea leisurely since the conversation started, and couldn't help but have a little doubt in his heart: Shi Yu's current appearance, and her relationship with Machida, plus On her understanding of Tong Nai, what role did Shi Yu play in this process?

"But the editor-in-chief just asked for my novel to be re-examined, right?"

Tong Nai's voice came over. Obviously, after the initial gaffe, Tong Nai has recovered, which also makes Kazuya somewhat admire the girl's ability to adjust herself.

"So, my novel wasn't dismissed outright, was it?"

"That's right, that's right, because there are still many people in the editorial department who are very optimistic about the prospects of Miss Kosaka's novel. After all, there is a sufficient basis for popularity on the Internet, so the editor-in-chief Machida did not immediately cancel the project. Just asking Ms. Takasaka to revise her novel so that it can be published in a more reasonable way."

"Machida?"

Hearing the name Eri also reacted, she quietly pulled Kazuya's sleeve and said,

"Is that the editor of Shiyu of Kasumigaoka?

The one who has been against us before? "

"Well, she was already the editor-in-chief in the fantastic library before, but it seems that she was too shackled, so she switched jobs, and she also took Shiyu-senpai over there. So from the very beginning, being in charge of mystery library in charge of campus romance novels is already a bit overkill."

Kazuya nodded and said.

"So, is that guy deliberately embarrassing Kirino because we fought against her for Shiyu of Kasumigaoka before?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Machida probably doesn't know about Kirino's connection with us. In fact, Kirino is only familiar with me, and has nothing to do with our club. If Machida has resentment against our club, she still I wouldn't choose such a person who has little to do with the community as a vent. It would be too much for her to take revenge for her just quitting her job. Even if mystery library attaches great importance to her, she would not agree with such a person's nonsense. Bar?"

"So, this person really thinks there is something wrong with Kirino's novel, but this is too coincidental, right?

Why does she always like to go against the rest of our side? "

"It's probably just a coincidence, isn't it?"

Kazuya glanced at Shi Yu with a complicated expression, and said,

"If possible, I can only hope to find Shiyu-senpai after the incident, and let her help to persuade Machida to edit it. Regarding Kirino's novel, the plan to turn it into a physical book has been in progress for a while, and the library should also invest in it. A certain amount of publicity and preliminary preparation work, if this project is stopped, it will also have a great loss to the mystery library, and we can start from this point to solve the problem for the time being.”

Kazuo thought so too, but Tong Nao is obviously not the kind of person who tries to solve problems in this way. In fact, from her practice of sprinting, it can be seen that this is a person who competes openly and sprints forward. , so, after listening to Kimura's words before, she immediately stood up and said firmly:

"So, how do we change it?"

"As for how to change it, let me explain?"

It was not Kimura who answered Kirino. Shi Yu, who had been silent during the entire conversation, stood up at this time.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Then, let me explain the specific modification method!"

Shi Yu, who had not spoken before, stood up at this time and said.

"Senior Kasumigaoka—er, Kasumi Shizi-sensei,"

Tong Nai looked at Shi Yu in amazement and said,

"Well, if it's you to explain, there's no problem."

"Then let me explain,"

Shi Yu glanced at Tong Nao and Kazuya and Eri Ri next to her indifferently, a complicated look flashed in her eyes,

"Miss Machida, the editor who vetoed Miss Kosaka's novels mentioned earlier, is my editor in charge. She also mentioned Miss Kosaka's novels to me before, and for Miss Kosaka's novels, her opinion is that she hopes to be my editor. The spinoff novel of "Love Metronome" is published."

"What do you mean?"

Tong Nao's eyes widened in surprise.

"But, my novel is obviously an original novel?"

"An original novel means that your character setting and plot are original,"

Editor Kimura interjected at this time and added,

"Editor Machida means that the plot is still your own, but if Miss Kosaka can cooperate with us, make some changes to your character settings—well, mainly the heroine's character settings, and then make some necessary changes. In addition to some interaction with the original work, the main storyline is still Miss Kosaka's own storyline, so that's fine."

"No, I still don't quite understand what you want me to change."

Tong Nao's face turned pale, and she said intermittently, obviously, even if she was ready to make major revisions to her novels, she could not accept the somewhat overbearing revision methods of the current mystery library.

"Excuse me, Editor Kimura, and Teacher Xia Shizi, can you explain your request in detail?"

Kazuya frowned. He originally hoped that he could convince Shiyu to help Kirino, so that Machida editor could open up to Kirinonet, but obviously, the current situation is that Shiyu and Machida editor are obviously on the same stance. This also made Kazuya feel a little dissatisfied with Shi Yu.

"When did this guy become such a person who doesn't care about the feelings of his juniors and friends for his own sake?

Even if there was no way to connect the author and Kirino when reading the novel at the time, why would you make such a request now that you see this situation? "

Kazuya grumbled secretly while trying to restrain his expression.

"That's right, for Miss Kosaka's novel, editor Machida made such an evaluation before, um, that means—"

Kimura said hesitantly.

"—Then let's just say Machida-san's evaluation directly!"

Kazuo said impatiently, and Kazuya can see it. Although this Kimura leader is really scary, his actual personality should be that of a good old man. He has been trying to ease the talks since the beginning. The atmosphere in the room can be vaguely felt this.

"Well, Machida's editor-in-chief's evaluation is: a typical self-satisfaction product of online novels, which has absolutely no publication value."

"Wow!

The evaluation of this guy is really merciless! "
