Chapter 917 Chapter 910 Six Heqi Jun, long time no see.

Looking at the two people sitting in front of him, Hayama Kazuto couldn't help blinking.

He never imagined that Sagiri Izumi would cooperate with Sonoko Machida and Shiwa Kasumigaoka.

Hayama Kazuto couldn't help blinking. According to Izumi Sagiri, she has already cooperated with a light novel and renewed the contract.

In other words, the illustrations in the third volume of "Love Metronome" read by Kato Megumi and Yukinoshita Yukino are probably drawn by Izumi Sagiri!

Thinking of this, Kazuto Hayama couldn't help blinking, and suddenly remembered that the heroine sitting on the balloon on the poster painted by Izumi Sagiri was indeed very similar to the heroine in the first volume illustration.

But the male protagonist sitting on the ice flower is completely different from the male protagonist in the first volume illustration.

Hayama Kazuto raised his head and looked at Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Shiwa.

Machida Sonoko also blinked, but she did not expect that it was Hayama Kazuto who came to interview her on behalf of Izumi Sagiri.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa was smiling, and on a whim, she wanted to see how Machida Sonoko communicated with the artist, but in the end she was pleasantly surprised.

"Harmony Lord, long time no see." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu waved lightly.

"Not for long." Hayama Kazuto blinked.

I met at school last week, but I didn't say hello.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at Yushan Kazuto with great interest, seeing that Yushan Kazuto felt inexplicably nervous, and couldn't help blinking.

"I didn't expect Mr. Heqi to have a side job as a painter!" Xiazhiqiu Shiyu laughed.

"I was entrusted by a friend to come to the interview instead of him." Yushan Kazuto said.

"Really? Then there is really a fate." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu moved her body a little closer, staring at Yushan Kazuto.

She was testing whether Yushan Kazuto had lied, but from Yushan Kazuto's performance, it seemed that he was telling the truth, which disappointed Kasumigaoka Shiwa a little.

"Mr. Hayama, can I call you that?" Machida Sonoko said.

Although the two parties knew each other from the beginning, Machida Sonoko took her work seriously.

Hayama Kazuto nodded, motioning for Machida Sonoko to continue talking.

"I need to confirm again here, Mr. Hayama, are you here for the interview on behalf of Mr. Izumi?" Machida Sonoko asked.

Hayama Kazuto nodded.

In order not to let Hayama Kazuto know her pen name, Izumi Sagiri had already communicated with Machida Sonoko in advance, told her her surname, and asked her to call herself in front of Hayama Kazuto by the name of Izumi teacher.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa looked at the two of them with a smile. She didn't know about the communication between Sagiri Izumi and Sonoko Machida, but after hearing Sonoko Machida addressing Sagiri Izumi, she had guessed the whole story. separated.

[Because you didn't want to reveal Teacher Eromanga's pen name in front of Heqi-kun, did you take the initiative to reveal your surname? 】

【Teacher Eromanga, what is your relationship with Heki-kun? 】

"Forgive me, but I would like to ask Heqi-kun, what is your relationship with Mr. Izumi?" Xiazhiqiu Shiyu smiled.

"It's a simple relationship between hiring and being hired." Hayama Kazuto said.

"Really? Why do I feel that things are not so simple?" Xiazhiqiu Shiyu narrowed his eyes.

"I don't think this matter should be the subject of today's interview. If possible, I still want to get to the point quickly." Yushan Kazuto said politely.

He didn't want to waste too much time here, and he was in a hurry to go home and cook.

Although most of the ingredients have already been processed, it takes a long time just to cook.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu didn't continue to speak, she knew that Yushan Kazuto would not explain to herself, and if she continued to ask, it would only annoy Yushan Kazuto.

"Let's order a cup of coffee first."

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Sonoko Machida said hastily.

"No need, let's get straight to the point." Yushan Kazuto shook his head, he didn't have time to drink coffee, half an hour passed after a cup of coffee.

However, in the eyes of Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Shiwa, Hayama Kazuto's refusal of coffee was a sign of his dissatisfaction with this interview.

Although it is said that Machida Sonoko represents Party A, when they think of Kazuto Hayama’s birthday, they actually rented out the entire Vittorio House. Facing a client of Party B with strong capital like Kazuto Hayama, they are still a little apprehensive.

"My client told me that you are somewhat dissatisfied with his work, that's why I had this interview. I want to find out exactly what makes you dissatisfied and what needs to be corrected."

Hayama Kazuto said straight to the point that he just wanted to make a quick decision so that this interview could end quickly.

Machida Sonoko blinked, took out a tablet computer, and called up Izumi Sagiri's manuscript.

"I think the imagination of this painting is very good, and the painting style is also very unconstrained, but it does not match the previous painting style."

Machida Sonoko flicked the tablet, and also called out several previous paintings of Izumi Sagiri.

Kazuto Hayama blinked, and Sagiri Izumi is really cooperating with "Love Metronome"!

Although he hasn't read the third volume of "Love Metronome", he has seen the cover. When Yukinoshita Yukino bought the book, Yuyama Kazuto glanced at it.

One of the paintings is the original manuscript of the cover of the third volume. Compared with several paintings, this new painting created by Izumi Sagiri has indeed undergone a great change in style.

"Although the style has changed, the painting is actually more layered. I think this painting is a new breakthrough." Hayama Kazuto said.

"I admit that Mr. Izumi's painting skills have indeed improved a lot. Before she gave the painting, I didn't even expect this painting to be so delicate and full of imagination."

"But "Love Metronome" is a youth romance novel, and this kind of fairy tale-style painting does not fit the original content."

Sonoko Machida admitted that Izumi Sagiri's new work is very good. Of course, it's hard to say whether this is her true inner thoughts or just polite words.

But she also pointed out the problem with Izumi Sagiri.

It's not that the picture isn't good enough, it just doesn't fit.

In Machida Sonoko’s view, if this painting is made into a poster, it would be like having to use an Apple data cable to charge an Android phone. Even if you can find a way to charge it, it will eventually achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Hayama Kazuto blinked, after seeing the original illustration, honestly, he can also understand Machida Sonoko's thoughts.

The goal of editing is to seek stability, and then seek breakthroughs on a stable basis.

Izumi Sagiri's original illustration performance is very good, as long as it plays steadily, it is more than enough to draw for light novels.

In this case, Machida Sonoko of course wants Izumi Sagiri to maintain the original style of painting.

Chapter 918 Chapter 910 Seven Persuasion

The root of the contradiction lies in the difficulty of unifying the ideas of the two parties.

Izumi Sagiri wants to seek new painting methods and new breakthroughs. Hayama Kazuto feels that Izumi Sagiri's hard work cannot be wasted, while Machida Sonoko feels that she must help Kasumigaoka Shiwa to stabilize the sales of "Love Metronome".

Izumi Sagiri's new style may have a good response, but it is more likely to cause negative effects. As an editor, Sonoko Machida has to take this into account.

It's just that Sonoko Machida didn't notice that Kasumigaoka Shiwa's eyes lit up after seeing the new illustration of Izumi Sagiri.

Hayama Kazuto rubbed his chin, blinked his eyes lightly, thinking about what method should be used to convince Machida Sonoko.

In fact, there are many ways he can do it, such as contacting the self-media to endorse the fourth volume, or using the relationship between Yukinoshita's house and Kadokawa Bookstore to put pressure on Machida Sonoko.

However, Yushan Kazuto felt that these practices seemed to be a bit of a big deal, and a little bit rough.

After all, Machida Sonoko is also someone he knows, Yushan Kazuto does not want to impose his will on the other party, he is more inclined to convince others with virtue.

If Izumi Sagiri knew that her way of negotiating was so simple and rude, the impact would be bad, wouldn't it?

Bowing his head in thought, Kazuto Hayama noticed Kasumigaoka Shiwa's expression, and it could be seen that she was very satisfied with Izumi Sagiri's new painting.

Hayama Kazuto suddenly smiled: "Editor Machida, did you not consult the original author when you rejected this painting?"

Seeing Sonoko Machida's puzzled expression, Kazuto Hayama could only shrug his shoulders: "I'm talking about the original author of the novel."

Machida Sonoko looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who could only say: "I admit, I like this painting very much. But I'm sorry, I think I should have the same interests as editor Sonoko, and I'm on a united front with her .”

Hayama Kazuto blinked, but he didn't expect Kasumigaoka Shiyu to be able to speak normally occasionally. Every time I saw her in the past, her tone of voice was a bit tit-for-tat with him, which always made Hayama Kazuto feel a little uncomfortable.

"I admit that from a business point of view, when things are in a stable period or a rising period, it is very safe to not change." Yushan Kazuto said.

"But in terms of personal pursuit, Mr. Xia Zhiqiu and Xia Shizi, this painting should be more to your liking."

"The dreamy fairy tale scene seems to be broken, but it actually implies a happy ending. It should be more in line with the theme of your work."

Hayama Kazuto shrugged and said.

Although Hayama Kazuto has not read the second and third volumes of "Love Metronome", he can think of it from the title of the book. The word "beat" means ups and downs, and the plot must have waves.

And Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu has stated more than once on social platforms that "Love Metronome" will only have five volumes, and the forthcoming fourth volume is already the penultimate volume of the originally planned five volumes.

According to the general plot setting, this volume should be a low period of emotional depression, various contradictions are displayed, and conflicts escalate. The content of this volume should be like the posters, full of depression.

Of course, the above are all guesses by Kazuto Hayama, and it doesn’t matter if you guess wrong, just change the starting point.

But after seeing the expressions of Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Shiwa, Hayama Kazuto smiled, it seems that he should have guessed right.

Machida Sonoko wouldn't think that Sagiri Izumi leaked the news. After all, Sagiri Izumi didn't know the plot yet, and she didn't send all the illustration requests for the fourth volume. Now it's just a preheating poster.

They knew that this was only summed up by Kazuto Hayama based on general laws, and he summed it up verbatim.

"Wait, are you talking about a picture that is a metaphor for a perfect ending?" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu asked suddenly.

"Well, didn't you find out?" Hayama Kazuto blinked, it seems that Machida Sonoko and Kasumigaoka Shiwa's appreciation skills are not very good.

"Mr. Hayama, please explain." Machida Sonoko said with some embarrassment.

Yushan Kazuto blinked: "Look at the ice flower under the male protagonist first, the liquid water droplets are outlined with brush strokes, right? But if you look carefully, those water droplets are actually the result of the male protagonist's body temperature."

"If you look carefully at the edge of the ice flower, you can see some burrs. If you zoom in a bit, it should be snowflakes falling on the ice flower."

"In the snowy weather, how can the ice flakes melt? So it's very simple. Although in some areas, the body temperature of the heroine caused the ice flakes to melt, but on the whole, the ice flakes spread outward and approached the heroine."

"Then... what about the heroine?" Machida Sonoko couldn't help blinking her eyes when she heard Hayama Kazuto's explanation.

"The heroine is sitting on a balloon, and it looks like the balloon is constantly rising and moving away."

"But if you observe carefully, you can see that there is already a layer of frost on the surface of the balloon. When the balloon condenses, the heroine will not rise again."
