I just want to be in love quickly and cheaply

"I see."

He heard Yamada Goblin say something softly.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, thank you Kato-kun for your answer, so I can understand some things."

"What's the matter?"

"I'm sorry, I probably can't say this, because Teacher Kato-san didn't say it, so I have to keep it a secret. Anyway, it's not a bad thing for Kato-kun."

The girl's smile suddenly became mischievous, and she even winked at someone.

"It's inexplicable."

Kato felt that the young girl's thoughts were really unpredictable, so he shook his head and left directly.

229. Could it be that he was cheated?

After returning to the newly moved apartment, Emily Granger, or the girl with the pseudonym Yamada Fairy, lay on the bed, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment, feeling a little relieved.

In any case, it should be freed by now.

Emily Granger, 14 years old this year, graduated from elementary school. Although she is now in the second grade of junior high school, she has not fulfilled the corresponding obligations at all.

After entering the relaxed generation, Japan's education policy began to be polarized. According to different schools, some schools go to school 6 days a week, while others go to school 5 days a week. Students who want to go to higher education must start from the second year of high school at the latest. It is very busy, and you need to go to cram schools, and there are even cram schools for cram schools—yes, some cram schools also require exams. In short, this phenomenon can be said to be very Japanese.

But for Emily Granger, she didn't have to think about this kind of thing at all, because she was born in Rome, and she was not a Roman citizen, at least to the extent that she belonged to an upper-class noble family.For such a person, as long as there is no requirement to inherit the family business, there are many choices in life and they are very free, and they can live according to their own preferences.

So for her, studying is not necessary, not to mention that the girl has an amazing talent in writing. This talent has made her a top light novel writer within a few years of her debut, and her sales are very high. , once occupied the top position in the sales list. The cumulative sales volume of the last work "The Dark Elf of Explosion Flame" has reached 220 million units. The royalty income converted into RMB is about 800 million, and the novel is also ready to be animated. The amount of money is also quite good, even enough to buy a big house in Tokyo.

She was planning to go to see the house. After all, many animation companies are in Tokyo. If the animation is made, the author himself will often discuss with the animation supervisor. In this way, living in Tokyo will indeed be much more convenient.

In the end, when encountering such a thing as a sasaeng fan stalker, Yamada Goblin can only be thankful that he discovered the problem in time-before he used his favorite method of finding inspiration.

In short, according to the editor, the management of this apartment is very strict. There is a combination lock at the door, and it is difficult to enter without the invitation of the owner.

Of course, the rent is also expensive as a matter of course, but for Yamada Goblin, this amount of money is nothing. It doesn't even use the family's money at all, but uses the royalties earned by itself.

Therefore, Fairy Yamada has always regarded herself very highly. It can even be said that at her age, she can do this kind of thing with only this level of arrogance, which can be said to be a word of humility.

"It's a pity that such a place is still too small to be my palace, but the cost of configuring a security system for a single person is still too high. Sure enough, I should use this place as my foothold in Tokyo."

It is not expensive to simply establish a security system, the key is the cost of continuous operation. Even a goblin who has always been extravagant will feel a little distressed at this price, because generally speaking, this kind of thing is not a single individual. She didn't want to ask her family for help because of such a trivial matter, otherwise she would easily lose the freedom to live alone.

To create this kind of thing, living alone is the best. Freedom of space means freedom of mind and heart, so that there will be inspiration to create perfect works.

As an inspired writer, Yamada Goblin has always believed in this way.

"However, Teacher Xia Shizi is really as beautiful as the editor said. It's hard to imagine that she is a high school student."

If Yamada Goblin is the strong one who tops the sales list, then Mrs. Kasumi Shiko is a terrifying newcomer.

According to the editor, I even suspected it was ghostwritten at first, because the calmness and exquisite technique of this kind of writing is not like a high school student or a newcomer at all.

However, the strength of the work is beyond doubt.

Love works have always been the main theme of light novels, and it can even be said that all current light novels are unqualified if there is no love part.

Because of this, the competition in this area can only be described as fierce.

Countless creators are carefully studying the writing method of this piece, trying to find new things, or dig out some new tricks from the old clichés, so that readers who are already a little aesthetically tired can get satisfaction from it.

The current mainstream is adventure in other worlds plus love content, and several popular works have been published, such as Yamada Goblin's "Dark Elf of Explosive Flame", which sold 220 million copies, is also this kind of theme.

However, teacher Xia Shizi is different.

She walked the most difficult road upright, wrote pure love novels, and then the sales volume of each volume easily exceeded 50 copies.

As for "Love Metronome", it took more than a year to publish a total of three volumes. It is said that the plan is to write about five to six volumes.

Then it is obvious that after all is completed, the sales volume of Yamada Goblin will undoubtedly be overwhelmed.

Of course, animation will increase some sales, but with the level of "Love Metronome", animation is only a matter of time, and it must be a production with sufficient schedule and funds.

"It turns out that the prototype in the novel is that guy, it feels a bit weird."

She lay on the bed, recalling what had happened before, and frowned.

This person doesn't even read light novels. How can there be such a student who doesn't even know the name of her Yamada Fairy.

Xia Shizi's descriptions and plots were processed based on this person?

He was obviously a gloomy and sneaky looking guy.

Fairy Yamada is also deeply fascinated by "Love Metronome". She has read each volume several times, but the same thing, her first impression of Kato Saku is not very good, after all, she just suffered an illegitimate meal, And Kato Sakuya's suspicious behavior at the beginning was really touching.

But after knowing that it was the prototype of the male protagonist in Teacher Xia Shizi's work, Emily Granger herself changed her mind slightly.

Just a tiny bit, the thickness of one page of A4 paper, no, two pages, this is the limit, Miss Ben is not so easily deceived.

Light hands and reluctance to call, if you look at it according to this theory, isn't it quite gentle?

It doesn't feel right, Teacher Xia Shizi must have been cheated, right?

The first impression is very important. So far, Mr. Kato's bad first impression is still playing a negative role in the heart of Yamada Goblin. In a sense, his outfit is quite successful.

230. A Conversation Between Novelists

"Is this where Teacher Xia Shizi fought?"

It was already night when the Yamada goblin came to visit with a gift, and Mr. Kato had already left, and Ms. Kasumigaoka had already woken up from a full sleep. Her complexion looked quite good now, and she was not as confused as she was in the morning. degree.

"Battle? That's true, but there's nothing special here, and I only moved in recently."

The plump Ms. Kasumigaoka sat on the sofa and poured a cup of hot tea for her new neighbor.

"Did Teacher Xia Shizi also encounter a stalker?"

Hearing this statement, Yamada Goblin immediately asked nervously.

"Not really. I mainly transferred here, so I chose this place because I wanted to live closer to the school."

Shiwa, who also poured herself a cup of tea, spoke unhurriedly.

She inquired with the editor before, so she also knew a little bit about the current situation Yamada Goblin encountered. It seems that the thriving career has also brought some negative effects. There are stalkers among readers, and Yamada Goblin is such a young girl. Children, it is abnormal not to be afraid.

However, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu was also quite surprised when he saw Yamada Goblin himself.

Completely following or even leading the trend of the times, giving up writing and other things, taking genius ideas as the core, and using sensory stimulation as supplementary material-almost all of Yamada Fairy's novels are in the genre of sex in the harem, and they are often accompanied by There are some explicit descriptions, and this style of writing is not without criticism, but the fact is that sales prove everything, and works with this pseudonym still occupy the top spot in the annual total sales champion.

It’s just that no one thought that the author who could write such provocative works was just a child, not even a junior high school student—she didn’t go to junior high school, and started writing after graduating from elementary school.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that the writing is terrible, this kid is really a genius.

Miss Xia Zhiqiu sighed slightly in her heart.

She knows that there are so-called talents in the writing industry. Some people think hard and think hard, and the works written by them are not attractive to people at all. story.Fairy Yamada, you belong to the latter group.

However, Shi Yu thinks that she has some talent, and the result of the corresponding training assigned these days is that her current version of "Love Metronome", if she can publish two more volumes this year, then the sales volume will exceed the top of the list The "Burst Flame Dark Elf" is also not a problem.

"Go to school, I've stopped going to school a long time ago. With Teacher Xia Shizi's grades, it seems that there is no need to go to school anymore, right? Isn't it possible to write better by concentrating at home?"

Yamada Fairy asked curiously.

"Indeed, if I can continue to write "Love Metronome" with the current results, then I can live well in the rest of my life even if I don't go to work, but in this way, I will lose a lot of precious experience .”

Now that the issue of occupation has been discussed, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu also brought up his interest and exchanged ideas. Authors are generally relatively withdrawn creatures who like to stay at home alone, and communication between authors is even rarer. Instead, they communicate with editors. There will be more chats, but the editor will press the manuscript, which is very annoying.

Now is a rare opportunity.

"Experience is indeed very important, but wouldn't it be good to collect materials when necessary?"

"That's one way, but since I'm mainly writing about campus life, it would be too funny not to go to school myself. Not to mention that there are my friends at school."

Shi Yu shook his head slightly and said.

"It seems to be the same, but the school is about the same after all. If this is the case, wouldn't it be good to make up for the rest with imagination?"

"When it comes to details, there are still many differences. Primary school students have the thoughts of primary school students, junior high school students have the worries of junior high school students, and high school students have the mood of high school students. Sometimes these things cannot be observed simply by collecting materials once or twice. Yes. Careful observation, good accumulation, and burst of inspiration can only become a good work together.”

"It turns out that Teacher Xia Shizi thinks so, and I have a completely different way of thinking."

"That's true, but everyone can try to learn my method, but Yamada-sensei, your unrestrained imagination and genius structure are something that others cannot learn."

"Learn? Teacher Xia Shizi means that someone taught you this set of methods?"

"Well, almost."

Shi Yu nodded, not hiding anything.

She has no shame in acknowledging her talent as fully as she has learned.

"Which senior taught it to Teacher Xia Shizi?"

"It's inconvenient for me to tell you this."

"That's really a pity. I also want to meet someone who can teach Teacher Xia Shizi."

"As long as you have the heart, no one is a teacher. There is no need for Yamada-sensei to be so depressed."

"Well, well, what Teacher Xia Shizi said is true."

Yamada Goblin nodded humbly, seemingly accepting it completely, but secretly made up her mind.

She wants to find the person who taught Xia Shizi to write.

As a commercial writer, sales are everything, and Yamada Goblin has a very strong self-esteem and will never allow herself to be defeated.

But facing Xia Shizi's work, after reading it carefully, she had to admit that it was hard for her to surpass in a short time.

So when she came to visit, she actually hoped to get some intelligence information and the like.

Writing this kind of thing is very personal and very talented, but this does not mean that there are no laws that can be summarized.

It's just that Yamada Goblin didn't expect that Xia Shizi would speak out her writing philosophy and know-how so openly, and even directly told herself that she learned it from others. People suspect that she is actually concealing and lying.

No, because Yamada Goblin can easily see through the divine eyes (self-setting) that can see through the essence through reading or observation. This is a person who is as proud as herself, so she doesn't bother to lie about this kind of thing at all.

So, it's pure confidence and pride, and even if she tells you her way, you can't do it to the same degree.

As expected of me, Yamada Fairy's archenemy, the opponent I consider in my heart.It is precisely this kind of enemy that has the value of this lady's challenge.

However, this is too much to underestimate Emily. Now that I know the method, I will soon write a work that surpasses "Metronome of Love".

Returning to her new home, Fairy Yamada began to write quickly, completely oblivious to the slight movement of one of her boxes.

231 This Child Really Can Talk

Yamada Fairy, what an interesting girl.

After seeing off the visiting guests, Kasumigaoka Shiwa thought.

In fact, she didn't particularly care about rankings such as sales, but it didn't mean that she didn't pay attention to those popular works.

So Shiyu naturally read Yamada Goblin's novels, otherwise she would not have made such an evaluation.

Mainly, this kid is pretty good at talking.

Thinking of the other party's twitching for a while, she suddenly asked about the prototype of that person, and hinted at the relationship between Kasumigaoka Shiwa and Kato Kato. Although it has not yet been finalized, Ms. Kasumigaoka still feels at ease.

If it really doesn't work...

Mr. Kato didn't pay much attention to meeting a new beautiful blonde girl yesterday.

After all, she was just an unlucky little girl. It was really impossible to say something like being followed, even the police couldn't handle it, especially when the other party hadn't committed any clear illegal acts.

Of course, if a passing messenger of justice pushes the other person's head into the toilet and washes his face well, such a stalker will most likely be able to change his mind and start a new life.

If there is a chance to meet her, I will help her solve it, but since they have moved so far away, they probably won't be able to find them in a while, so let's wait until something happens.

Such a young child can make so much money writing books.

He pondered for a while, feeling a little emotional.

The income of light novelists is relatively easy to calculate, because the amount of book royalties in Japan is relatively fixed, generally 10%, and then directly paid in advance according to the number of prints, and then the tax is removed. Generally speaking, a light novel The price ranges from 500-1000 yen, that is, for every book sold, the author earns about 50-100 yen, and the amount will be very considerable.
