"I want chocolate."

"This box is mine." Kobayashi Kongqing put the strawberry-flavored ones in his hand, and took out another box of chocolate-flavored ones, "This is for you."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu half-closed his eyes, "There is also black coffee."

Kobayashi Kongqing took out a can of black coffee.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at his bag suspiciously.

"I introduced you to the new job of the last editor-in-chief who left because of you," Kobayashi Sorao pushed the food and drink to Kasumigaoka Shiwa, "Can we start the interview now?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu felt like the dough in Kobayashi Kongqing's hands, allowing her to change various shapes, but she was always in his palm, "Hey, I don't want to move when I'm hungry."

This feeling of being controlled made her quite uncomfortable.

"This won't work," Kobayashi Kongqing refused, "The voice recorder is only for auxiliary recording, and my hands are still used to take notes."

"It's enough to take notes with your right hand." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu raised her chin, "Feed me with your left hand."

"I used my left hand last night, if you don't mind."

"..." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu opened the package of Pocky, took out a Pocky from the package, stared at Kobayashi Kongqing with red eyes, and put the tip between his lips——click Click!

Accompanied by the rapid and small sound, the Pocky that Kasumigaoka Shiwa was pinching on her fingertips was eaten up, and only the part that was not wrapped in chocolate survived.

"Then, the interview begins." Kobayashi Kongqing pressed the recording pen and picked up the gel pen, "Mr. Xia Shizi, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be interviewed. Speaking of which, this is the first time you have been interviewed." Woolen cloth?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu swallowed the milk in his mouth, "Do you have to ask at this time?"

At least wait until she finishes eating.

"So that's how it is. As an author and one of the readers, I can understand the eagerness of the readers." Kobayashi Kongqing wrote vigorously, "Why didn't you accept an interview before?"

"If you plan to pretend that I don't exist and make it up yourself," Kasumigaoka Shiyu took a bite of the pineapple bun, "Why are you still interviewing me?"

"It turns out that I want readers to pay more attention to the story and immerse themselves in it, so I deliberately hide myself so as not to affect the reader's reading experience." Kobayashi Kongqing nodded in praise, "As expected of the author who decisively ended the previous work when it became popular. I have to mention Teacher Xia Shizi's new work."

"Don't you make arrangements for others to avoid the person involved?"

"So that's it, you didn't mean to avoid the previous work, but you want to follow your inner thoughts and write the story you want to write?" Kobayashi Kongqing wrote, "That is to say, the characters and locations of the previous work may be different. Appears in the new work, right?"

"So what am I here for?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu fiddled with her long hair, shaking her legs a little irritably, "Whether it's an interview or a new work, you can write it yourself?"

Chapter 15 Translation Translation

Xiao Lin Kongqing looked up, "I have already written a volume, if you want, you can sign Xia Shizi."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's eyes turned cold, "I overestimated your bottom line."

"You can estimate it as you like," Xiaolin Kongqing spread his hands, "I am very flexible in the bottom line."

"I read the light novel you wrote." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu stared at Kobayashi Kongqing's eyes, trying to see his thoughts from those fox-like eyes, "You have the talent to become a novelist, why do you want to be a speculator? By?"

Kobayashi Kongqing's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, "So you agreed to my invitation to say this?"

"Answer me." Kasumigaoka Shiwa aimed her red eyes at Kobayashi Kongqing like a gun.

When meeting him for the first time, Kasumigaoka Shiwa wanted to express her anger for Machida Sonoko, but in the end he made her mentally collapse.

After calming down, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu realized the key to her own failure. Kobayashi Kongqing knew her weakness, but she knew nothing about Kobayashi Kongqing.

If you want to gain an advantage in the fight against him, you must obtain his information.

How to get it?

Ask directly.

High-end hackers often use the simplest techniques.

The originally lazy senior sister put her hands on the table at this moment, leaning forward, closing the distance like a predatory tiger. The originally curvaceous body became more enchanting because of the change in posture, and the buttons on the neckline were faint. Signs of being overwhelmed.

There were chocolate chips on the corner of his mouth.

Kobayashi Sorao looked away, "If this is part of the job..."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu raised her eyebrows, and found a weakness of Kobayashi Kongqing. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she sat back on the chair leisurely, with a strand of hair wrapped around her fingertips, "If you want me to cooperate with your work. …”

"Okay." Xiaolin Kongqing closed his eyes, sorted out the paper in his hand, and opened his eyes again, "Senior sister, do you want your work to be adapted into a comic?"

Kasumi Hill Shiyu nodded.

"Change into animation, adapt into games, movies, make figures, release Blu-ray discs..."

"Every author has this expectation." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu answered truthfully.

"So," Kobayashi Kongqing said softly, "Do you want your work to be adapted into a masterpiece, or a piece of dung?"

"Of course it's a masterpiece..." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu paused, "No, the average level is fine."

"Why did you change your words halfway through?"

"Of course, the original is excellent, and it's common for the animation to be unsightly." Kasumigaoka Shiyu shook her legs unknowingly, "Obviously it can be adapted according to the original work, but I have to be smart, make up and modify it, and make it up. Half of them were underfunded, and they were even used to fill the gaps in the broadcast schedule from the very beginning, and there are countless things that have turned famous works into dung—who is sure that the adaptation will be successful?"

"Me." Kobayashi Kongqing replied concisely.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu put her arms around her chest, "It's because of you, a self-righteous, self-righteous guy like you, that so much painstaking effort has been adapted into dung. It's just an idiot."

"It's not stupid, it's bad." Kobayashi Kongqing corrected, "What they want to measure is the rate of return on investment, so they can use three-pointers, never three-and-a-half. The cost of production is very little, but I hope that the popularity of the original work will help me earn a lot of money. How can I make a good work with those idiots."

"Then why do you?" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu bullied again, "Why are you like them?"

"No, it's not the same." Kobayashi Kongqing smiled, his smiling eyes were like a fox, and his slender lips seemed to spit out snake letters at any time, "They are garbage, and I am garbage among garbage. All mine is mine , who wants to share with them."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's lips parted slightly, and the sneer and sarcasm were on the lips, but he couldn't say it, "You... are still a high school student. Your means are useful now, but it doesn't mean they will be useful in the future."

Xiao Lin Kongqing was a little surprised, "I thought you would be sarcastic."

"Reality will ridicule you for me." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu leaned back on the chair, "I don't need to talk too much."

Kobayashi Kongqing chuckled, "Well... I'll wait and see."

"The idea is good, but currently there are only a handful of people who have the ability to operate independent copyrights, such as..." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's voice paused.

For example...the founder and first representative of the ultra-popular doujin group RER——Akane Benizaka.

She is a well-known iron cock of copyright, and her works are imprisoned by contracts. If the publishing house does not abide by the contract and wants to sell the works to other media, it will transfer all the copyrights of the existing works to other publishing houses.

As if seeing through Kasumigaoka Shiyu's thoughts, Kobayashi Kongqing raised his eyebrows, "Like Benizaka Zhuyin?"

"She has a strong creative ability as a backing, otherwise the publishing house would never agree to her contract." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said bluntly, "If you want to replicate her success, you need her talent, hard work and creative ability."

"So I need your talent, hard work and creative ability." Kobayashi Kongqing replied truthfully.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu laughed angrily, "What's mine is yours?"

"Yes," Kobayashi Kongqing nodded, "I agree."

"I don't agree!" Saying such words, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help sprouting sprouts in his heart. Becoming a person like Benizaka Akane is the dream of many authors, but Kasumigaoka Shiyu knows the difficulty, this is not her A field that a novice author can venture into.

And now, a hand named Kobayashi Kongqing stretched out from that realm, right in front of her.

If you cooperate with him, it is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

But...in case...

It still needs a period of investigation, and more importantly, to grasp Xiaolin Kongqing like Xiaolin Kongqing grasped her weakness.

The image of Kobayashi Soryo unnaturally looking away just now appeared in Kasumigaoka Shiu's mind.

Hmm...it doesn't seem too difficult.

"I've heard a lot of lies," Xiazhiqiu Shiyu resumed his lazy and sleepy look, "let's finish the interview first."

"So, any progress on the new book?"

"It's still the story that happened in that town." Kasumigaoka Shiyu yawned and lay down on the table.

"In this way, will the characters of the previous generation appear? Or will the supporting roles of the previous work play the main role?"

"I can't tell..."

"We can find an opportunity to do a joint project on the resurrection of "Love Metronome" in Undead magazine, so as to attract the return of the survey results." Kobayashi Kongqing thought of a good idea, "Then what about the storyline?"

"It's when a boy and a girl meet, fall in love, quarrel, separate, reconcile, repeat a few times and then become a pair."

Kobayashi Kongqing: "Well, it is a romance novel that follows the delicate emotion and multiple expressions of the previous work."

Chapter 16

"Ah," Kasumigaoka Shiyu seemed to suddenly think of something, "but Ms. Machida said that I can write more funny and cute content this time."

"Although the evaluation of the previous work is good, the serious plots accounted for the vast majority after all, so there are also many opinions in the reply letter such as [It’s so sad to read] or [The content is not happy]." Kobayashi Kongqing flipped through the records, " Therefore, the new work is trying a romantic comedy with a different style from the previous ones, so that more readers can accept and understand the charm of teacher Xia Shizi."

"I didn't think about it that much..."

"That's non-purposeful self-breakthrough."

"I didn't think about that kind of thing at all, and I didn't say that kind of thing..."

"This is the end of the topic about the new work." Kobayashi Kongqing drew a dividing line on the notebook, "Next, more content will focus on the writer Xia Shizi who readers are very curious about. Where did you get the inspiration to create such a story?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu didn't reply for a long time.

source of inspiration...

When the first volume of "Love Metronome" was just released, there was no sign of reprinting at all, and the editor-in-chief also asserted that the third volume was cut in half. However, when the second volume was released, the sales suddenly increased due to the recommendation of a fan TAKI blog, and it became a popular work.

This TAKI is Ai Lunya who was the first to arrive at the first autograph session of "Love Metronome".

The juniors from the same school appeared in front of me as fanatical fans, and praised me enthusiastically. The website I established increased the sales of my works by [-]%, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu naturally liked Lun.

Afterwards, she and Lun Ye had many discussions on the development of the work, and even some content was written with reference to Lun Ye's opinions.

She worked hard to write for a book fan, and in order to pay back to this lingering book fan, she repeatedly deliberated and argued with the editor, and completed the work without discouragement.

However, when he wanted to show Lunya the original manuscript of the final volume and hoped to get his impressions, he was rejected by Lunya with the reason of "unable to be responsible for this work", along with his own feelings.

He clearly knew that what he was talking about was not a work, but he rejected her intentions on the grounds of a work.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu was lying on the table, as if falling asleep, but her hands were clenched tightly without knowing it. This feeling...

"I finally had a heart attack, but you let me lose so thoroughly..." Xiao Lin Kongqing suddenly said, "Fuck."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu looked up unkindly, "What did you say?"

"It came to me suddenly, don't worry about it." Kobayashi Kongqing waved his hand, "So the source of inspiration is the soul that cannot be expressed in words. So, Teacher Xia Shizi is an inspirational author?"

"What are you talking about..." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu yawned, her work and rest were disordered, she would start writing when she had inspiration, and she would sleep after squandering inspiration, "Let me sleep for a while."

"This is enough, I'll polish it up and hand it over to the deputy editor." Kobayashi Kongqing packed up his things, "This is the end of today's work, I want to go home and sleep."

"Where are you going?"

"Go home and continue to polish the manuscript."

"Write here." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu looked at the sofa in the conference room, "I sleep here, and I will check when I wake up."

Kobayashi Kongqing frowned slightly, "I remember you don't read anything other than your original manuscript."

"Although I don't know where you got it from," Kasumigaoka Shiu noticed the change in Kobayashi Kongqing's expression, got up leisurely, and then threw herself on the sofa, "But women are very fickle."

I found out that Kobayashi Kongqing's second weakness is that she hates unplanned developments.

"...Okay." Kobayashi Kongqing took out his notebook, "If you don't mind the noisy keyboard."

"That's my daily life." Kasumigaoka Shiyu took off her high heels, stretched her exquisite toes in the black pantyhose, and the soft light passed through her fingers, casting a hazy shadow on the ground.

Lying sideways on the soft sofa, the legs together were slightly bent, and the pantyhose rubbed against each other, making a soft rustling sound.

Kobayashi Kongqing put on earphones to listen to the content of the recording pen, tapped the keyboard, and combined with his own records to complete the draft.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu leaned on her arm, covered the opening of her eyes with her thick eyelashes, and observed Kobayashi Kongqing's movements.

In all fairness, Kobayashi Kongqing, who is working hard, does not have the feeling of blending a fox and a poisonous snake before, and looks much more pleasing to the eye.

There really are people like this, they look much better without expressions than when they have expressions.

The fingers are also very flexible, flying up and down, and basically did not touch the delete key.

When inspired, Kasumigaoka Shiwa can do the same.

That means that the thinking process has been completed, and the rest is just to type out the thoughts in the mind, which requires extremely high proficiency in text entry.

She suddenly asked to sleep here, not on a whim.

It's just that Xiao Lin Kongqing's eyes shifted unnaturally for an instant, which made her discover one of his weaknesses.

It seems that I don't have the courage to face the charm of girls.
