The target is light novel master

"Sagiri, even if you stare at me like this, I won't change it."

Izumi Chiha shook her head lightly.

"Bullying people, Nissan, obviously it can be changed, but it hasn't been released yet."

Sagiri whispered sweetly, shaking his arm.

Could this be coercion, and she used a coquettish way instead?

"I understand that Sagiri doesn't want to see such a plot, but for a work, some sacrifices are necessary. Yanzhu's death is not meaningless. The cruelty is also an example to encourage Tanjirou and the others to become stronger, both mind and body need such a transformation, so..."

He said earnestly.

"I don't listen...I don't listen..."

Sagiri covered her ears with her hands and fled to the second floor.

Probably hid in the quilt and cried.

For girls, this is also a growth.

In fact, Sagiri did not understand this in her heart, but she still made such a move under the excitement of emotion.

After appeasing his sister, Izumi Chiha closed the document he was writing, and prepared to clean up his mood before finishing it.

Sagiri was sulking for a whole week, during which time she didn't communicate too much.

Obviously, this setback hit her hard.

However, the work at hand is still going on, and I am still trying to improve myself.

She knew she couldn't change anything, she could only choose to accept it.

The illustration work has reached the most important scene.

"I will take my responsibility, I will not let anyone here die!"

In the picture, Purgatory Kyoshouro held the fiery red Japanese sword on his shoulder. Even though he was blind in one eye, had a broken rib, and injured his internal organs, he still had awe-inspiring eyes and held the knife in a flawless posture, covering his entire body. Exuding an astonishing vindictiveness.

All this is just to protect my promise, even if I die for it, I will not hesitate!

While Sagiri was painting, she stopped again, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then started again.

All the time, I finally remembered this impressive picture in my heart.

And the next scene of smiling before dying also made her cry several times.

……

Cafe.

After Izumi Chiha sent the revised manuscript to Sonoko Machida, the two parties agreed to meet here.

This is normal. The editor also has to review the work to avoid over-the-top content. By the way, chat with the author to understand the status of the other party.

"I didn't expect Mr. Izumi to be so courageous. In the second volume, such a key figure was written to death. Although I had a premonition before that such a scene would happen, Mr. Izumi, are you really not afraid of receiving the blade?"

Machida Sonoko's tone was full of ridicule and a trace of resentment.

As an editor, besides Sagiri, she is the second follower.

As an adult, she would not do something childish like Sagiri, but it was still necessary to express her resentment.

Obviously, she was also a little bit dissatisfied with Yan Zhu's death.

It would be such a pity that such an upright and tough guy died!It would be great if there was more drama!

From the perspective of fans, she will also take this idea away.

"It can't be helped, editor Machida, you understand that sometimes when you are creating, you can't control the plot inside..."

He said with a tone of evasion.

"Ha ha……"

Machida Sonoko smiled meaningfully.

"Mr. Izumi, although the second volume of "Demon Slayer: Blade" is somewhat resentful, from an editor's point of view, I am very satisfied with it, and the sense of tragedy brought about by Yan Zhu's death is also very touching... "

"Sure enough, the teacher is a talented person. Compared with the description in the first volume, the description in the second volume seems to be a higher level, and then this decisive 'burst point', I have a hunch, the second volume After the volume is released, many people will express their dissatisfaction with the teacher!"

Machida Sonoko's tone was full of appreciation.

The implication of more people expressing dissatisfaction is that sales will be significantly improved.

"I hope so."

Izumi Chiha is also very satisfied with his writing of the second volume, but he dare not be too confident.

Because of sales or something, it's really hard to say.

Maybe he has improved his writing skills, but whether the plot can satisfy more people is not necessarily the case.

"Don't worry, in today's industry, there are not many authors who dare to be as straightforward as the teacher, and the atmosphere is rendered just right. I believe that while more readers are dissatisfied with Yanzhu's death, they will also look forward to the next development of the plot. .”

Sonoko Machida acted more confident than him.

"Also, I have also received the illustrations of Mr. Eromanga. They are indeed genius brothers and sisters. They are also progressing amazingly. It has only passed such a short time and they have reached such a great level. The sincere picture of Yan Zhu before he died Smile, but even I was really touched... It's a pity that he passed away at such a young age, this world is too cruel."

Machida Sonoko said meaningfully.

"After all, editor Machida helped, and Sagiri's drawing skills should improve a bit."

Izumi Chiha's eyes flickered and he changed the subject.

"Ahem... Teacher Izumi, can you stop talking about that?"

A blush appeared on Machida Sonoko's face.

She really wanted to forget such a shameful thing!

"I still have work to do, so I'll go back first, goodbye, Mr. Izumi."

She quickly found a reason, quickly checked out and left.

20 So you also...

The review speed of the second volume is much faster than before, and the printing factory is relatively empty at present, so the release time of the second volume will be very fast.

It's just that the time for publicity is relatively short, only about 10 days.

But this is not a big problem. After all, it is already the second volume, and it has a certain fan base. If there are many readers who follow it, the sales in the first week will naturally not be bad.

At present, the sales volume of the first volume is close to [-] volumes per volume, and the speed of increase is getting slower and slower, as if it is close to saturation.

This should just be stuck in a temporary bottleneck.

If there is a better way of publicity, or if the next new volume drives it, it will definitely continue to increase sales.

Izumi Chiha had a little more confidence in herself.

Recess.

"Sawamura-san, do you know when the second volume of "Demon Slayer: Blade" will be released?"

Takasago Chie asked with one hand on his chin and turned his face sideways.

"Greek milk."

Ying Lili replied casually.

"It's obviously a childhood sweetheart, so you don't even know about this kind of thing?"

Takasago Chie expressed doubts.

"Why do I have to ask? This is his own business."

Ying Lili asked back.

"Since Sawamura-san doesn't know, I'll take the initiative to ask. I'm really interested..."

"you……"

Ying Lili's expression changed, but she found that the other party had left her seat, approached Izumi Chiu's position, and started chatting.

"Bichi!"

She bit her lip, muttering to herself.

"Izumi-san, when will your new volume be released?"

Takasago Zhihui walked over briskly, and asked in a low voice beside him.

"Oh, do you care so much?"

Izumi Chiha raised her head.

"Of course, I can be regarded as a little fan of Izumi-sensei, so I will naturally want to see the next content!"

Her pupils lit up, like a sincere fan.

"is that true?"

Izumi Chiha looked suspicious?

"Of course it's true, I've already put "Ghost Slayer: Blade" in my recommended position..."

She blinked her big eyes and replied.

Although it is the most inconspicuous row at the bottom, it also represents my own recognition.

Ordinary works don't get this kind of treatment!

"Just recently."

After thinking about it, Izumi Chiha gave the answer.

"Hey, really? So fast... It's only been two months? Is there time for an update?"

Takasago Chie looked surprised.

What she wants to ask more is, can the quality really be guaranteed if the writing is so fast?

After all, I am a student and not a freelancer, so I don't have so much time.

"No problem, the editor will check it out, and I am very satisfied with this volume, it should be better than the first volume."

Izumi Chiha looked resolute.

He believes that he has made progress. Although there is no system template to show his ability level, he believes that he should have improved significantly.

After all, in the light novel world, he can only be regarded as a newcomer now, and it is also the time when he has made the fastest progress. When his writing style stabilizes in the future, he will fall into a new bottleneck.

"That's right. Since Mr. Izumi is so confident, then I wish you success and better grades!"

Takasago Zhihui clapped his hands, put them on his face, and said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, I hope I can accept your good words."

He nodded and smiled.

"How did those two chat so happily! Damn it."

Ying Lili turned her head to watch this scene, and clenched the pencil in her hand.

At this moment, Takasago Chie turned and returned to her seat, and she quickly looked back.

"What did you talk to Qian Yu about?"

Ying Lili said nonchalantly.

"Of course it's about the novel... What, Sawamura-san really wants to know? You can ask yourself."

Takasago Chie looked at her calmly.

"No need."

Ying Lili sternly refused.

'That idiot, you should take the initiative to tell me!Fortunately, I took the initiative to help him before... What a conscience! '

She cursed in her heart.

Forget it, now it's not the risk of being cut in half when you first started, there is no need to take the initiative to understand... Otherwise, it will make people seem to really care about him!
