What? ! the Girls Who Like Me Have Increased Again?

You must know that the meaning of being able to be published in the third volume does not mean that it can only be published in the third volume.

If the writer can make the sales go up in the second volume.

Then the library will naturally find a way to extend the life of this work.

Extend it to volume [-], volume [-]... and more.

Just giving one extra volume is equivalent to saving the life of Love Metronome.

The good news, however, does not end there.

"Also, you seem to have contacted the comics before, right?"

The editor-in-chief touched his chin and recalled.

"Yes, originally we planned to serialize short stories on Immortal Comics."

"The matter has been communicated with the person in charge of the manga."

Although she didn't know what the other party was thinking, Machida Sonoko answered truthfully.

"Just continue with the original plan."

The editor-in-chief nodded.

"Okay, I'm going to get ready—"

Although Machida Sonoko doesn't know what's going on, but in short, do a good job on the surface first.

Prevent this annoying guy from changing his mind again.

……

the other side.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who had dark circles under her eyes due to insomnia, was extremely troubled in her heart.

"No, no inspiration at all."

"Next, how should I write..."

Although I said I agreed, I will try my best to complete the second volume of the novel.

But her chest still seemed to be pressed by a big rock at this moment, and she couldn't relax.

She can't create as she pleases.

Although I tried to write [-] words.

But this kind of words could not satisfy her at all.

The girl fell into a slump.

It wasn't until the arrival of a phone call that her mood changed.

"Excuse me, is this Teacher Xia Shizi?"

"It's me, Miss Machida."

"Mr. Xia, I have some good news for you. Today, the editorial department re-decided that the love metronome can be published in the third volume!"

Even through the screen, I could feel the excitement of the female editor on the other end of the phone.

But Xiazhiqiu Shiyu first felt a strange mood.

"It can be published in the third volume..."

I couldn't help but think of the conversation I had with a certain student on the top floor that day.

"Really, let the editorial department change its mind..."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu thought inconceivably.

I don't know what the girl is thinking at this time.

"That's right, and judging from the past situation. If the sales of the novel can improve after the second volume, the Love Festival will definitely not end only in the third volume!"

Sonoko Machida on the other end of the phone desperately lowered her voice and said excitedly.

The two volumes are completed and the third volume can be released, the difference is not only one volume.

It is the difference between immediate execution and reprieve.

There is a chance of continuing to survive.

Last time, she failed to protect her writer from the power holders.

This time she made up her mind that no matter what, she must do her best to make this talented newcomer writer popular.

"Let's work hard again, Teacher Xia Shizi!"

Machida Sonoko said excitedly

"Hmm...thank you for your help, Machida-san—"

Rubbing his inexplicably sore eyes.

After an unknown period of time, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's face finally burst into a sincere smile again.

Chapter 35. GHS is the primary productive force

From the time agreed with the publishing house, there is not much left.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu decisively asked for leave from the school.

the other side.

Although full of confidence, he made a guarantee to Xia Shizi.

But Machida Sonoko couldn't help frowning after hanging up the phone.

"Did that teacher also refuse..."

It is good news that the novel can be extended to the third volume.

Also a rare opportunity.

In order not to end only with the third volume, we must find a way to greatly increase sales in a short period of time.

The comic plan was brought up again.

"We must find a teacher whose painting style is good enough to drive the sales of novels."

Sonoko Machida naturally had such thoughts.

However, everyone thinks the same.

Great cartoonists are in high demand.

As a new writer, Xia Shizi is destined to be difficult to be liked by these powerful cartoonists.

"Woo... Where should I find the right candidate!"

There are many professional cartoonists in the Undead comics under the Undead Chuan Bookstore.

These cartoonists are not necessarily good at making up stories, so they often cooperate with their library.

That is to say, it is similar to Chess Soul and Death Note.

It is the model of the original work plus the manga artist, using this combination to continuously launch new works.

But Undead Manga is not a top-level magazine like Shonen Jump after all, and the average level of cartoonists cannot be said to be very high.

It is really not easy to find a cartoonist among these people who has a beautiful painting style and can reverse the situation at once.

His eyes widened with resentment, staring fiercely at the computer screen.

"What should I do? The date for the delivery of the second volume of the novel is getting closer and closer. If this continues..."

Pick up the mouse and click on the Excel file just received.

Just want to check the sales data of the bookstore today.

However, Miss Editor discovered something that surprised her.

"Huh? The inventory of love metronome has started to decrease?"

"The digestibility has increased so much all of a sudden, what's going on..."

Totally don't understand what's going on.

Miss Editor was completely dizzy from the sudden good news.

……

The location is the Kinokuniya Bookstore somewhere in Tokyo.

As the largest chain bookstore in the country, almost any popular novel can be found here.

Two homeboys, one fat and one thin, came to the light novel area on the fourth floor of the bookstore before taking the tram home.

The two walked and watched, as if they were looking for something.

Finally after several minutes.

"So it's here, it's quite hidden."

The tall and thin otaku picked up a very simple-looking light novel in a remote corner.

"The style of the cover looks very ordinary."

The fat otaku looked at the beautiful girl on the cover and shook his head slowly.

Get the contempt of another person.

"You idiot, don't compare yourself to Teacher Eri Kashiwagi!"

"That's right... In short, let's buy a copy first."

Light novels are cheap.

So the two nerds who were still college students took a copy without any hesitation.
