"Obviously I have crossed the taboo." The president was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the members. With one hand, a banner appeared behind the president, accompanied by fireworks. "Or, so be it!"

"Array cat, the first time... offline... face... base meeting?!"

"Hey?!!!", the four people in front of the computer exclaimed in unison.

Chapter 10 Mr. Editor in McDonald's

After saying goodbye to the guild members, Subaru quit the game.

What are these things? I was just curious to take a look in the game, how did it turn into a face base... Speaking of which, this week was really busy, Subaru looked at the date displayed on the computer, Monday.I have to teach basketball on Wednesday and Friday, and I have to face the foundation on Sunday. What about the good otaku life? Why do I suddenly feel like stepping forward?

Remembering that he was going to read the light novel, Subaru clicked on the Dengeki Bunko homepage and entered the account he created a few days ago.

As soon as he entered the personal center, Subaru was taken aback. There was no other reason. The message in the upper right corner showed that the unread message was already "99+". Subaru, who roughly guessed the reason, quickly clicked on the message, and they were all the same person. It was sent, and the signature was "Dengeki Bunko Editor Toki Kenjiro".From the day of school to today, more than a dozen messages are sent every day.Subaru read along the date, and opened the earliest one, which seemed to be the longest.

"Hello, Mr. Sakamoto, it's our first time to meet you. It's an honor to be the first to read your work."

That's right!Subaru took the name of the big boss Sakamoto, and when his light novel (carrying) became famous in the future, if he was recognized on the road, one sentence was in Sakamoto.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you, your work "My Youth Love Story Really Has Problems" won the top prize in the Dengeki Bunko Light Novel Grand Prix competition that no one has won in the past six years!"

Seeing this, Subaru clenched his fists.Sure enough, "Spring Thing" did not disappoint himself at all, and took a glorious first step on his way to promote ACG culture to the world!With a slight smile on his face, Subaru looked back.

"It's just that I really can't understand why Mr. Sakamoto's phone number in the author's information is actually the order number of McDonald's?! I already know Mr. Version, you are a unique author, but please see this article anyway. Contact me as soon as possible after the information. We have to, ok, ok, talk, talk about the issue of publishing and receiving awards. By the way, thanks to you, I have eaten at McDonald's in the company these few days, yes, very, it is good."

Well, the phone number thing was an accident, none of my business.Although it was a normal message, Subaru always felt that this message was full of malice... Regardless of this one, Subaru continued to click on the next one.

"Hello Sakamoto-sensei, I wonder if you have seen my last message. Please contact me as soon as possible. Since you have such an excellent work, our company also very much hopes to release this novel. My phone number is... ..., please reply to me when you see this message."

"Hello Sakamoto-sensei, it's been two days since I sent you a message last time, but you still haven't given me any reply. I don't know if you didn't see it or you didn't give me an answer on purpose, but in any case, please Are you willing to give me an accurate answer with this award, thank you very much, please reply when you see it."

"Hello Sakamoto-sensei, it's the fourth day... Please reply when you see it."

"Hello Sakamoto-sensei..."

The following format is basically the same, and the same content will be sent a dozen times in different time periods within a day.

At this time, the maliciousness that Subaru felt was getting stronger and stronger, and Subaru seemed to see through the computer that the editor who sent a message to himself was showing his teeth and claws about eating people.

Was that McDonald's ordering phone a little over the top...

Subaru quickly took out his cell phone. He wanted to make a phone call, but it was already late at night, so it was not good to disturb others at such a late hour.So I sent a text message.

"Hello, editor, I'm Sakamoto. I'm very sorry to bother you so late. I'm glad that my book has received such a high rating from your company. As for McDonald's, let's all believe that this is just a beautiful misunderstanding. !"

After the text message was sent, Subaru got up to wash up and go to bed. Who would have thought that within a minute of the text message, the phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was the editor Kenjiro Toki, who had just been saved in his phone address book.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Subaru picked up his own cell phone, which was delayed for a while.It wasn't because he came to settle accounts with himself... After worrying for a while, Subaru made up his mind and answered the phone.

"Hello, I'm Toki Kenjiro, are you Sakamoto-sensei?"

A very magnetic and steady man's voice came from the phone.On the other side of the phone, Subaru held back for a long time, still trying to figure out how to explain the phone number, and it took a long time for him to say a word.

"What are you doing in Shimo-Sakamoto?"

"Uh... As you can see, I'm the editor of the Electric Shock Library. I believe you have read the information I sent you, so what do you mean?"

"Oh... oh! I understand, it's an honor to receive your company's evaluation. When will your company start publishing this book?"

"Listen to you, do you agree?"

"Yes."

"That's really great! So, do you have time tomorrow? I think we need to have an interview about the publication and distribution of light novels and the acceptance of awards."

"Ah, I agree, what about the time? Let's talk about it, because I'm still a high school student, so I might have time in the afternoon."

"What? Are you still just a high school student?", there was a surprised voice over the phone, obviously this fact surprised our editor.

"Yes... yes, is there anything wrong?"

"It's nothing... To tell you the truth, besides you, the author I'm responsible for is a high school student and a college student who dropped out."

Dead girl control... But Subaru was surprised that there were so many student writers. Could it be that writing light novels is the latest trend now?

"Then... May I ask what high school you're attending now?"

"Um... Maezaki High School."

"I see, then the time is set at 4 pm, and the location is... um... how about the McDonald's next to your school?"

"That...why is it McDonald's?" Subaru's cold sweat was already streaming down.

"Ahaha, thanks to you, I like to eat McDonald's very much these days, and please let me recommend a few for you to try..."

"Well, can we..."

Subaru still tried to struggle with the last glimmer of hope, but this hope was quickly extinguished by the editor.

"That's it. Then Sakamoto-sensei, I'm really sorry for disturbing you so late. See you tomorrow."

Hearing the busy tone of "dududu..." on the phone, Subaru gently put down the phone, washed and slept silently, and should not go, Subaru comforted himself like this, closed his eyes and fell asleep.In the dream, the cherry blossoms were flying, and in the haze, it was the girl dancing under the flowers again...

With the bell, the day's lessons finally came to an end.Subaru got up to pack his things, and suddenly sighed. It had been so many days, but he still couldn't adapt to the eyes of his classmates. The students in his class were all submitted directly through the physical education exam, and he was the only one in this class. One of the top basketball students of [-] ended up being suspended from the club, which is indeed very eye-catching.

I took out my phone, the bell rang at 3:[-] sharp, what should I do, should I go to see the editor, in McDonald's...

"Hey! Subaru!"

A female voice from behind interrupted Subaru's thoughts. The person who came was Subaru's childhood sweetheart, Ogi Wasabi.

"Oh~ what's the matter, Aoi? In such a hurry."

Aoi stood in front of Subaru, her hands behind her back, her upper body leaned forward slightly, and she said softly, "Well, we formed a basketball club."

"Basketball club?"

"Yes, so I want to ask if you are coming today or not..."

"Um...sorry, not today."

"What's the matter?" Kui was a little surprised, that basketball poisoner didn't have time to play basketball?

Although he has been debating whether to see the editor or not, Subaru still knows in his heart that he must see the editor, no matter how terrible it is, after all, this is his first step in the otaku culture world, so there can be no mistakes. .

Subaru didn't dare to tell the truth, because it was too different from the feeling of his predecessor, so he could only make up an excuse: "Well, Miss Meixing has something to do with me, and said she wanted me to help her or something."

"That's it, then there's no other way." When she heard that Meixing asked, Aoi no longer cared about it, and in turn advised Subaru: "It's you, Subaru, after your aunt and uncle go to Hawaii, don't be swayed. Sister Meixing leads by the nose."

"Who would!" Subaru grumbled in dissatisfaction, waved his hand to Aoi as a goodbye, and continued to walk towards the gate of the teaching building, leaving Aoi, who was still looking at Subaru mockingly.

"That's it."

Subaru came to the McDonald's store closest to the school. Although it was afternoon tea time, there were not many people who wanted to have afternoon tea at McDonald's, so the traffic was not large, and there were only a few tables of customers.

Subaru entered the door and looked around the store. Based on his influence on the sound and whether he had found a table by the window, an unexpectedly young "uncle" sat on the seat and drank the food in front of him quietly. Cola.

Subaru came to the man's table, lowered his head and asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Toki Kenjiro?"

Kenjiro Toki had already noticed this high school student who was looking for someone as soon as he entered the door, and roughly guessed that this student should be the teacher Sakamoto he was looking for.However, Kenjiro didn't say hello, but silently observed the person who recommended McDonald's to him... When he heard that he was indeed the author, Kenjiro's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's me, so you are Sakamoto-sensei?"

"Yes, it is."

"Please take a seat, you're welcome."

"That, Mr. Toki?" Subaru said timidly in the face of the editor with a powerful aura in front of him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's my rudeness." Kenjiro pushed the menu in front of Subaru as if he suddenly remembered something, "You're welcome, just order whatever you want, I'll treat you. By the way, I recommend this Maixiang Juwu. Pa burger, this is what I ordered for these days, hehehe..."

It seems that Kenjiro has been tortured by this phone call for so many days, and he has not passed this threshold yet...

"I'm so sorry about that phone number, Mr. Editor."

Subaru put his hands on the table and bowed his apology to Kenjiro.

This time, it was Kenjiro's turn to be surprised, and he felt a little more favorable towards Subaru. To be honest, he was indeed a little emotional. After all, he waited for more than ten days like a resentful woman, but the authors are generally a group of very individual characters. He also knew that he just wanted to complain a little, but he didn't expect the author in front of him to apologize to him.Much better than that dead girl, and the high school student who was so productive that he gave him a headache...

With Subaru like this, Kenjiro was embarrassed to continue to be emotional: "No, no need, Sakamoto-sensei. Well, McDonald's is really not a good place to talk, how about we find a cafe to sit down and then discuss light novels slowly? "

"It would be great if that were the case."

Subaru got up, shook hands with the editor in front of him, and gave a real hello.

Chapter 11 Light Novels and Bounties

On their way to the cafe, Subaru explained to Kenjiro why he didn't fill in his real phone number.

This made Kenjiro even more moved, and his favor for the new author continued to rise.The author who can write such a good novel is so humble, and I am so lucky to be the first to see myself!

Don't feel exaggerated, no matter how you modify it, society is essentially a jungle that obeys the law of the jungle.As the highest award that no one has won in 6 years, Subaru can play a big role.Don't look at Kenjiro's stern face, he deeply understands this truth because of that phone call these days, he is worried, and he is afraid that the author will not be interested in Dengeki Bunko and switch to other companies.There is only this one good novel, but the company that has the ability is not limited to Dengeki Bunko.From their reactions, it can also be seen that this book, which won the title of "This light novel is really amazing" for three consecutive years in the previous life, is by no means a waste of fame.

I picked a coffee shop nearby and sat down. Kenjiro asked for a cup of coffee. Subaru was not used to the bitterness of coffee, so he ordered a cup of milk tea.

"So, Sakamoto-sensei, can we start now?"

"Haha, Mr. Toki, you don't need to call me a teacher. My real name is Hasegawa Subaru. If possible, you can just call me Subaru."

After talking on the road, Subaru also learned that although Kenjiro looks like a vicious uncle, he is actually a very kind person, but as an editor, sometimes being too kind will only make those authors delay the manuscript again and again, and over time It's just that kind of temperament.Speaking of which, Kenjiro is only about 10 years older than himself, so it would be rude to regard Kenjiro, who has not yet reached his thirties, as an uncle...

"Okay, then it's rude. Cough, Subaru. First of all, I have to congratulate you for winning the top prize. Just in case I confirm again, you agreed to put your light novel "My Youth Love Story" There is indeed a problem. ” published in Dengeki Bunko?”

"I agree."

"Very good, then I have a contract related to the publication of the novel. You can take a look at it first, and we will discuss the award later." Kenjiro said, and took out a contract from his briefcase, with a full four points. One of the Xinhua dictionary is so thick.

"Oh... well, why is it so thick?"

Subaru took over the contract, and the heavy weight in his hand clearly told him that he had read it right, that it was indeed his contract.

"Haha, as an award-winning work, our company will of course take it seriously, and we will also hold more interactions between authors and book fans in future publications."

Subaru nodded to show that he understood, picked up the contract and looked over it carefully, because it was in his own interests, so he had to be more careful at this time.

Seeing that Subaru was reading the contract, Kenjiro didn't rush him, he drank his coffee and waited quietly.

The contract roughly talked about how to deal with problems that might be encountered after the novel was published, as well as the company's requirements for Subaru's novel, which was nothing more than no plagiarism or similarity.Speaking of which, he really carried it, but not from this world, Subaru secretly laughed in his heart.Subaru deliberately did a little homework last night, so he could basically judge that this was a regular contract.As for profit...

"Mr. Toki, the conditions your company has given me are so good, don't you look down on me a little too much?"
