[I bought the notebook there, and it's definitely from a British company.]

[Speaks excellent Japanese]

[Teacher Xia Shizi is a great beauty!]

I've been to book signings.

[I was startled]

[Correction: It's a beautiful girl.]

[Looks quite young]

[Wasn't her editor even better?]

[The man who got beaten up?]

[No, it's the former short-haired office lady.]

[The Love Metronome is really good]

I prefer the bunny girl senpai.

[The senior in black stockings is so nice]

Kasumigaoka Utaha saw the live comments and remembered that incident from back then.

He subconsciously looked in Kobayashi Sora's direction.

Just then, I saw Kobayashi Megumi gently poke Kobayashi Sora's forehead with her fair fingertips.

what......

Kasumigaoka Utaha thought to herself.

Indeed... such a thing did happen.

A long time ago.

She was quite angry at the time.

Thinking about it now...

Yeah, I'm still pretty angry.

“Some viewers know, that’s right, it’s Ms. Kasumi Shiko and Ms. Kashiwagi Eri, both of whom are good friends of Coco’s.” Tang Coco chuckled, “And then, as everyone knows, character design and plot are all early-stage materials, and the two teachers rarely participate in the subsequent game production.”

"So!" Tang Keke clapped her hands, making a crisp sound, "During the game's development, when she had some free time, Ms. Kasumi Shiko wrote the story of Star Cluster into a light novel!"

[real?]

[Star Cluster's network is amazing]

[Shocking!]

[Wow!]

[I love Kanon! I love Kanon!]

Upon seeing the familiar live comments again, everyone looked at Shibuya Kanon.

Shibuya Kanon covered her face in exasperation.

I'll tell the audience during my next live stream.

"The light novel of the same name as the game, *Liella! Superstar*, will be released in early February. Since we're friends, Ms. Kasumi Shizuko knows a lot about us. You've probably all seen the four-panel comic strip that Ms. Kasumi Shizuko and Ms. Kashiwagi Eri collaborated on before; some of it depicted our trip to Kamizu Island," Tang Keke introduced cheerfully. "The light novel contains a lot of content that can't be shown in the game, so those who like it definitely shouldn't miss it!"

[The game's storyline is too heartbreaking]

[I've played it several times, and it always ends in a bad ending.]

[After completing the first playthrough, the choices will be fixed, and it will be easier to achieve a happy ending as you progress.]

Looking forward to more posts!

[So you're really bad at cooking, huh?]

"That was a mistake! A mistake!" Tang Keke argued. "I'm a very good cook!"

[Ah, yes, yes, yes]

[That's what others say when they ask.]

Anyone with a dream is remarkable.

I listened attentively.

"Looks like I have to show you what a master chef is like." Tang Keke had a brilliant idea. "Next time I'll do a cooking livestream. Then I'll show you what a true master chef is!"

The live stream ended smoothly after a "friendly" exchange with the audience.

"That concludes today's live stream. Be sure to check out the other streamers' new character streams, and also watch the light novel by Kasumi Shiko-sensei." Tang Keke bid farewell to the audience, "See you next time, bye-bye~"

Play the ending animation and cut off the live stream signal.

Tang Keke lay face down on the table.

This kind of high-intensity interaction is still quite tiring.

This was just the beginning. After Tang Keke, the other members of the Star Group also completed their live streams one after another, announcing one piece of news after another.

Liella! Superstar will be adapted into a manga by Eri Kashiwagi, a new album for the star group is about to be released, a sequel to Liella! Superstar is in production and will use new technology to tell the story of the star group's second year, and a Liella! Superstar mobile game is progressing smoothly...

With the release of information and the continued popularity of the previous regional finals champion, Star Cluster's influence has increased once again.

Kobayashi Sora pressed her advantage, using various methods to maintain this momentum until the light novel was released.

With the help of the popular star cluster and Shizuka Utako's reputation, and with the promotion of the release of "Chronicles of the Universe XIII", the light novel achieved remarkable success as soon as it was released.

"I feel... really unwilling to accept this." Kasumigaoka Utaha flipped through the sales data and online comments. "It easily surpassed the record of my debut work."

“Back then, you were still a newcomer, without the halo of ‘Chronicles of the Universe XIII’, plus the issues with the style of your own work…” Kobayashi Sora pointed out, “Most importantly, you didn’t have the support of Star Cluster fans.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha tossed her long hair. "So, it always feels like we got these sales figures because of other people."

Eriri glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, "What else?"

"The Star Cluster members have similar thoughts. After the light novel was released, their fan base increased significantly." Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "That's the charm of Kasumi Utako-sensei. Even people who don't watch School Idol are drawn in by the story and become interested in School Idol."

“That makes sense.” Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded, then gestured with her chin towards Eriri, “Look how eloquent she is.”

"You have time to criticize others, but don't you know how to reflect on yourself?" Eriri retorted without any politeness. "You increase sales and the star group gains more fans. Isn't that the purpose of the Superstar project? If sales don't increase, then you should be dissatisfied."

"I get the feeling you're really angry~" Kasumigaoka Utaha's red eyes narrowed slightly. "Is it because you've seen my current sales figures that you're starting to worry that your manga adaptation isn't selling well?"

"Even if sales are low, it's your problem!" Eriri said matter-of-factly. "I changed everything according to your requirements."

Chapter 476 Recommendation for Entrance Examination

Eriri finally found her footing: "Someone kept interfering with my drawing, and now they want to shift the blame onto me?"

"It wasn't me." Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her finger calmly. "You drew the manga. No matter how much guidance I gave, in the end everyone sees your work. Besides, you didn't listen to all my guidance anyway."

"If we listen to the advice of laymen, this comic will be ruined!"

"If someone like you, who doesn't understand the plot, were to make any changes, this comic would truly be doomed."

"Light novels and manga are different mediums! If you were to discuss mood changes at length like in your book, the rhythm of the manga would be completely ruined!"

"If you only pursue visuals and details like you do, and ignore the most important emotional rendering, the plot of the light novel will be completely ruined."

"It's all your fault anyway!"

"Starting to act unreasonably, huh?"

"You're being unreasonable!"

Well...

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi were already used to this kind of scene.

Despite their heated arguments now, when they're creating...

The argument escalated.

Despite arguing so fiercely, we can still work together now, and the reason is simple.

This noise is genuinely improving the quality of the comics.

Creating a good work is not easy, but finding fault with it is all too easy.

Creating good works is not easy, but correcting flaws and silencing the other party is incredibly satisfying.

Kasumigaoka Utaha strained to find fault, while Eriri held her breath to correct it.

The comic has undergone repeated revisions, and its pacing, panel layout, and visuals are vastly different from the original version.

However, although the two have their own strengths in creative work.

However, Eriri's combat strength is obviously weaker when facing opponents online.

Eriri, who has been pretending for so long, is bound to be at a disadvantage when facing Kasumigaoka Utaha, who is used to confronting people directly.

Eriri complained, "Megumi, look at her!"

“Hmm… compared to senior,” Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head, “have you forgotten something very important?”

"Huh?" Eriri looked bewildered.

"We're already in our final year of high school, this is our last semester. Are you ready for college entrance exams?"

"Huh?" Eriri was taken aback. "Yours?"

“We applied for Shinazugawa’s recommendation last year,” Kobayashi Megumi replied. “It’s already been accepted.”

Most Japanese students typically take the general entrance exam, which is a national central exam held in January. However, the results do not directly determine which university a student will ultimately attend.

Except for a few schools that only require scores from the first round of central tests, most schools also require candidates to participate in individual academic ability tests set by the school itself.

Simply put, the results of the center's exam are more like a pass; only candidates who reach the corresponding university's score line are eligible to apply for the second round of testing at the corresponding university.

Usually in late February or March, the test results will be recalculated with the center's exam results according to a certain ratio to determine the final score, which will decide whether to admit the student. A few schools may also require an additional interview.

Besides that, there are AO entrance exams and recommendation entrance exams.

The former involves students applying themselves, submitting materials, and undergoing interviews and written tests. It emphasizes the student's willingness to study at the university and places great importance on the student's statement of purpose for admission.
