Bandage fine tricks

When signing the contract with Yuanchuan Bookstore, the mailing address left was the address of the detective agency, which was collected by President Fukuzawa Yukichi, so even now that the samples have been delivered, Xiao Hachi has never seen him in this life. What did the entity of the first book I wrote look like...

Now that the plastic cover was removed and held in his hand, Xiao Ba looked at the cover of "Envoy" for the first time: its size was the size of an ordinary light novel, and the thickness was much thinner than the light novels in Xiao Ba's memory. It feels like it's only half of others... Doesn't make sense?

The full text of the envoy is about 12 words. She doesn't remember the exact number, but it will never exceed [-] words. Normally, this is the length of a light novel, but the book in her hand seems to be much thinner now. Why? What's going on?

And...Xiao Ba opened the book, flipped through it for a while, and found that this book has a lot of illustrations. Light novels usually have four or five illustrations in one book, but this book has at least ten illustrations. The style is exquisite and the details are moving That aside, this figure doesn't even include the opening and closing four pages for a total of eight coloring pages!

And in terms of style and detail expression, it is the work of the same painter.

Nearly [-] high-quality illustrations come with a coloring version, and I handed in the manuscript only one and a half months ago, and the publication started about ten days ago, plus the printing time and the time to be included in the recommended list, I leave it to the artist to ponder It took less than a month to finalize the character design plan and start designing actions and other painting work.

In less than a month, nearly [-] high-quality illustrations were added with a coloring version...

... The whole body of this painter is the liver except the hands, right? !

Who is the boss with such amazing hand speed?

With respect for the artist, Xiao Ba returned to the cover, and on the cover under "Zhen Ji Ba Cai/Work", he saw a smaller font:

Setsuna Shimazaki/Illustration.

A name that can be used by both genders... It's hard to tell the gender.

Leaving aside the gender issue of this big man whose body is all but his hands and liver, Xiao Ba still remembers the question of why this book is so much thinner than the light novels in her impression. She turned back to the spine of the book and read At the spine of the book, it is under the words "God Envoy".

Xiaoba: "..."

Isn't it true that Yuanchuan Bookstore is so stupid? !

No more than 12 words of text, why do you have to divide it into two volumes to whet readers' appetites! ?

It's even worse than her broken dog!

Moreover, if she remembers correctly, there is indeed a chapter that is very suitable for disconnection in the place of about [-] to [-] words, which can perfectly end the foreshadowing of the early stage and lead to the foreshadowing of the next event, and at the same time arouse the reader's appetite. The highest chapter... If you use it as the end of the first volume, not only will it not give people a sense of "incompleteness", but also because of the high expectations, you will want to read the content of the next chapter even more.

——Don’t ask her why she broke the chapters like this. Online articles rely on subscriptions to make a living. If you don’t get a hook at the end, readers will “ah, I’m really satisfied. This book can be fattened up and then read it in one go”, and then feed The book is forgotten when it is kept, and even a certain book is "raised to death" when it is kept - that is, the author is unfinished or the eunuch.

It is understandable for readers who are deeply deceived to speak fragrantly, but because the readers' fattening income has declined and they cannot afford to support themselves, so they decide to quickly cut the outline and end and start a new one. What did the author do wrong... Maybe it is writing It's not good enough to attract enough readers to subscribe.

Of course, here, please exclude those pigeon spirits whose readers are enthusiastically chasing updates but end up breaking them.

That kind of thing is just right for making soup :)

Turning to the last few pages and confirming that Yuanchuan Bookstore had really broken the text where she expected, Xiao Ba closed the book and put it back in the paper bag, holding his forehead unbearably: "I think it is very necessary to talk to Editor Hejian. ..."

"I think he probably wants to chat with you, Hachi too!" Hearing the familiar name, Osamu Dazai interjected with a smile, "Editor Hejian has come to the detective agency to look for you several times, and it seems that he wants to talk to you. You contact him, but you don't know what his ultimate goal is, and he is sent away by the president every time."

Xiao Ba blinked: "When did it happen?"

"Probably around the beginning of August." At that time, he dragged Xiao Hachi around outside, and perfectly missed the time when Editor He Jian came to the detective agency to find Xiao Hachi—Osamu Dazai bet him with his canned crab meat Not intentional.

is intentional.

——Originally, there was less than a month left for Xiao Ba's vacation, and there was no way to distribute it to everyone in the detective agency. Why did he have to distribute it to that bald uncle!He's running out of time!

"I was looking for me during that time..." Xiao Ba thought for a while, and said, "Probably because of the illustration?"

Normally, the author of a light novel and the artist need to communicate, and the character design and the like must be confirmed with the original author before they can start writing. Otherwise, if the artist is allowed to play by himself, the final product may be very horrible...

As far as the quality of the final finished illustration of "Envoy of God" is concerned, although she has not communicated with the original author, Shimazaki-sensei has perfectly controlled the quality and fully integrated several characteristics of the protagonist she mentioned in the article. It was drawn with pens, and the style of the clothes is also very design sense. It is improved from the teaching clothes but also takes into account the lightness, which is in line with the setting of the male protagonist who walks outside all the year round...

For this, Xiaoba can only say that the big touch is worthy of being a big touch, and he can get an SSS rating for free play.

If you need to change the painter, you may have to overturn the car tragically.

"But he has often come to the detective agency to find you in the past two days, although he has been temporarily rejected by the president because you have gone to school." Osamu Dazai said.

"Temporary?" Xiao Ba keenly noticed this word.

"'Temporary' means that the president has sent you a message to tell you about this, but so far, you don't seem to have seen his message."

"..."

Xiaoba touched his body and took out a terminal, which was used to communicate with school teachers and classmates, and it also came with a Weizhong Academy pass.

Fukuzawa Yukichi's contact information exists on another mobile phone dedicated to contacting family members.

"By the way, if you don't reply to the president's message by Friday, maybe this Saturday you will see the president come to Tokyo to visit you."

After all, we have to consider the possibility that Xiao Ba forgets to bring the mobile phone when he goes to school - because Xiao Ba is a boarding student in Weizhong Academy, and he can only go home every weekend (according to Xiao Ba's habit, he usually takes the tram after school on Friday Come back, go back on Sunday afternoon), if you leave your phone behind, you will have to wait until you get home at the end of the week to see the message.

"You should be thankful that Mr. Munakata specifically told you that the matter you assisted was a confidential matter when you asked for leave, and you must not disclose it to anyone else, so Weizhong Academy has not notified the president who is the guardian so far." On the one hand, Qing Zhi Wang’s emphasizing, on the other hand, is also because the teacher of Weizhong Academy took it for granted that Mr. Munakata first obtained the guardian’s consent before letting Xia Ji assist in handling the incident. He never thought that the guardian would be hiding this possibility...

Otherwise, Mr. Yukichi Fukuzawa would have killed Scepter4 and even the Pillar Tower early in the morning.

Xiaoba: "..." Mr. Dazai said that, I am really lucky... But if you look closely, it seems that they are intertwined and belong to normal development.

Is it "inevitability in chance" again?

Silently remembering this incident, Xiao Ba looked at the tram schedule, and was surprised to find that the young man beside him did not take the train back to Yokohama, but followed him on the tram to Mihua Town: "... Mr. Dazai, you Got on the wrong train?"

"I'll take you home first, and then I'll take the train back to Yokohama—escorting girls home safely is the basic requirement for a man of good character." Osamu Dazai asked himself that his character was a mystery, but he would still do this kind of thing.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and poked Xiao Ba's forehead, and his eyes fell on her white milk tea-colored long hair: "... Can this hair color be washed off?"

Although Hachi looks cute like this, but...

White tea-colored hair, pearl-gray eyes, and too light a color give the impression of being too illusory. Looking at a girl like this, even though he knew she was by his side, he still stretched out his hand to confirm her existence. impulse.

To make sure that's the real her, not her own fantasy.

Xiao Ba thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "It should be possible? Zi seems to have mentioned that this is a one-time temporary hair dye product, which can be washed off with clean water." It is very suitable for those who want to change their hair color every now and then. fashion icon.

Considering that she has to go to school tomorrow, there is no school rule in Weizhong Academy that she cannot dye her hair. Ba is really not sure, if I go to school with such an image tomorrow, will I be regarded as a transfer student in the new semester...

The tram arrived soon, and the black-haired, kite-eyed young man took Xiao Ba to the door all the way. He didn't forget to remind her to call himself at night to "keep in touch." Waved, turned and left.

It's not time to stay yet.

What's more, even if he stayed, he would have to face three other super-big light bulbs—not only would he possibly tarnish his reputation, but he would also have to deal with the problem of the light bulbs. He wouldn't choose such a loss-making choice!

Besides, he still has a regular contact time at night =v=

So, when the clock reached nine o'clock, Dazai Osamu, who had gone to the dormitory early to lie on the bed and plugged the prepared earphones into his ears, received a call from Tokyo on time: "Good evening!"

The depressed voice of the girl who left in the afternoon came from the earphone: "Good evening, Mr. Dazai... Then, are you starting to read 'Bedtime Story'?" She intentionally bit the words "Bedtime Story" very hard.

Oh, it’s so cute that Hachi really holds grudges... Osamu Dazai smiled and said, "Well! I’m listening, I’ll protest if I pronounce it too harshly!" That’s what I said, but no matter how Hachi pronounces it, it’s very cute. It's just cute, although I don't want to remind her of this and then protest when she reads well and ask her to read it again... But considering that she has to go to school tomorrow, I can only give up this plan regrettably.

As he spoke, he turned on the recording function of his phone: How could he be satisfied with just listening to it once?It is the truth to record it and listen to it repeatedly!

Of course, he will remember to make a backup, and he will also pay attention to putting the recording files in a sufficiently hidden place to prevent Xiao Ba from discovering them!

A faint sigh came from the earphones, followed by the slight sound of pages being turned—Xiao Ba resignedly opened the book and began to read Chapter 1: "This is a sober look at the protagonist of this rotten world and the one he loves so much. The story of a good god..."

The rotten world... coincides with his views.

"...He knows the bad nature of people, not because he lives in the darkest and chaotic place of this world. He once lived in a world surrounded by goodness and beauty, but this does not prevent him from realizing that human beings How hopeless is his inferiority..."

Osamu Dazai: ...?

"...When he saw the god for the first time, he realized clearly that one day he would lose the god. It sounded like a prophecy, but it was just a very It’s just a simple inference: gods are eternal existences that are immortal, but human life is limited. When he grows old and dies in the world, isn’t it time for him to lose this god? Looking at him differently, this kind of despair that existed since we met still made him unable to be completely happy, and even raised the idea of ​​"it would be great if I hadn't met before", but this idea passed by without a trace, and never It has not stayed in his heart for a long time. After all, in such a boring world, it is already a great happiness to meet that god. Those who are cowardly and evasive can't help but want to accuse this world..."

Osamu Dazai: ...? ?

"...How ridiculous, trust leads to evil, and the only thing that can stop this evil is to look at the world as a crime that will harm you. Is it possible that the good character praised by the world is actually the breeding ground for evil? , what irony..."

Osamu Dazai: ...? ? ?

what happened?

Why does the protagonist of this book have such a common language with him?

He clearly stuffed all the black mud back without Xiaoba finding out...

Osamu Dazai fell silent:

exist?Why put a monitor in his heart?
