Anime: I, Nohara Shinnosuke, am a natural born swordsman!

"Yuanzi, congratulations on your promotion!"

Being promoted directly from an intern editor to editor-in-chief is undoubtedly a huge step, and Shizuka Hiratsuka is still very happy for Machida Sonoko.

Even if you can't find a man, it's good to have money!

"It's nice to get a promotion, but it's also very stressful right now."

Machida Sonoko sighed, her smile was both happy and a little bitter. There was nothing wrong with her abilities, and she was definitely qualified to be the editor-in-chief of Fuzugawa, but the intensity of her work was too great now.

With the investment and resources from the Suotome family, the Fushigawa Bunko has great potential.

Suddenly, Machida Sonoko's phone rang. After looking at the caller ID on the phone, Machida Sonoko's expression changed immediately.

"Sorry, Xiaojing, I need to take a call."

Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded and had no objection.

Machida Sonoko answered the phone and her expression changed after talking for a while. She looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to, and could only nod.

"Okay, I will definitely notify everyone. I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Machida Sonoko's expression became a little complicated.

"what happened?"

"The company asked one of my writers to change the plot. I'm quite optimistic about her."

"Why did you suddenly change the plot?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a quirk of rich people..."

"I need to make another call."

On the other side, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was typing frantically on her laptop at home, was interrupted by the ringing of her cell phone. Seeing that it was her editor calling, she immediately picked up the call.

"Hello? Is this Editor Machida?"

"It's me, Shiyu, do you have time?"

"Of course, I have time now."

Is it coming? Is her novel finally going to be published? Kasumigaoka Utaha's light novel easily won the Gold Award at the Newcomer Awards thanks to its plot and character design.

"The publishing house has decided to publish and will allocate a lot of resources, but..."

"The group company requires you to make a lot of changes to the plot. You must make the changes according to the group's requirements."

"Why so suddenly? Didn't you already get the gold reward?"

"...Shiha, do you know the Suotome family?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes widened, and she knew what was going on.

It’s over, the real culprit is here!

Urgent! Characters in the novel who haven’t appeared yet are coming to find me. I’m doomed!

"I know, what's wrong?"

"Buzugawa Bunko has been acquired by the Suotome family. The Suotome family requires you to make changes to the plot of the novel, or even add a brand new female protagonist."

Machida Sonoko feels a little embarrassed to say it. For many creators, being forced to change the plot is something that is unacceptable.

After all, every work is the result of the creator's hard work, and for the creator, it is no different from his own child.

"No problem, of course no problem! I'll do whatever they ask me to do! Even becoming the only female lead won't be a problem!"

"what?"

Machida Sonoko didn't expect Kasumigaoka Utaha to be so straightforward. Where is your backbone as a creator?

What Machida Sonoko didn't know was that this story of Kasumigaoka Utaha was originally created based on the people around her, and she dared not disobey Suzaku Ai's orders.

Didn't you hear that all the libraries were bought out? She's still young and doesn't want to transfer to Tokyo Bay!

"Well, since you're willing, I'll send you the relevant plot modification requirements."

"Okay, I'll make the changes shortly."

"After the revisions are completed, the library will mobilize its maximum resources for promotion and distribution. Please treat it well, Shiyu."

After hanging up the phone, Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief. If she had known this earlier, she would never let Shinnosuke be the male lead!

After looking at the plot requirements sent by Machida Sonoko, Kasumigaoka Utaha fell silent.

I'm sorry, Eriri, Yukino, Kato Megumi, and Sayuka, I was forced to do this and could only satisfy that young lady's bad taste.

In the latest revised plot, a scheming young lady appears who is madly in love with the male protagonist, and the other female characters have become her playthings...

Such a strong sense of déjà vu, will it become reality? Fortunately, it is Sayuka in the book, not her Kasumigaoka Utaha.

That's not right! Didn't she also modify her novel in real life to suit this young lady's ideas? Was this the first step towards becoming a plaything?

I just wanted to write a light novel! Why did I end up in this tragic Shura field?

"I didn't expect young people these days to be so savvy. I thought she would be very resistant."

"It's normal to make money."

After listening to the general situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka understood what was going on.

"Yuanzi, I have a friend who has fallen in love with a boy who is much younger than her. What do you think she should do?"

"..."

Machida Sonoko didn't expect the topic to change so quickly. Do you really have a friend like this?

"It's better to be younger. You're in good health and have more energy. If it's true love, you should be brave enough to express your thoughts."

As expected of an older single woman, her focus is different.

"But my friend and the person she likes have different identities, so it's impossible for them to be recognized by the world."

"..."

Machida Sonoko's expression became strange.

"Xiao Jing, are you in love with your own student? This is a crime! Even if you're an adult, you can't do that!"

"I told you! It's my friend! Not me!!!"

The explanation was pale and powerless, and Machida Sonoko's expression was complicated.

Should she start dating seriously? Shizuka Hiratsuka looks a bit scary. She doesn't want to go down the path of crime just because she's single for too long.

"Since it's your friend, why are you so worried? Let your friend worry."

"But, Xiaojing, if it's true love, you can wait a few more years."

"I'm just worried about my friend!"

I shouldn’t have confided in Yuanzi earlier. It’s really annoying.

Chapter 96 The Collapse of the Cat-Dog Alliance

Shinnosuke brought Yukino, who had transformed into a cat, into the room.

Yukino, who was struggling continuously, discovered in despair that her struggle was completely in vain.

After turning into a cat, her strength became much weaker and she was no match for Shinnosuke.

"Xiaobai, save me!"

Seeing Xiaobai in the room, Xueno couldn't help but meow for help.

"Hey? Why did Ms. Yukinoshita turn into a cat again?"

Xiaobai, who knew that he had monster blood, has become smarter and healthier in the past few days.

Xiaobai, who was originally a little old and lacking in energy, felt very energetic these two days. As expected, after accepting the setting that he was a monster, he felt completely different.

"I do not know either!"

After looking at Shinnosuke and Yukino, Xiaobai made a judgment that this should be a game between Shinnosuke and Yukino. It seemed that Yukino was enjoying it.

"Ms. Yukino, don't worry. Shinnosuke won't harm you. He will definitely find a way to turn you back in a while."

Xueno meowed helplessly twice. Of course she understood this principle, but her personality destined her to say one thing and mean another.

After petting the cat for a while, Shinnosuke did some experiments and found that as long as he called Yukinoshita Nyanohano, it was like turning on some strange switch. Regardless of whether Yukino answered or not, there was a chance that Yukino would turn into a cat.

This seems to be the aftereffect of the Nekomata curse. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Yukino, who had turned back into a beautiful girl, lay on the sofa with a look of despair on her face.

Why did this happen to her?

"Why are you teasing me like this?"

"Yukino-chan is so cute after turning into a cat."

“…” Yukino turned her head away, her cheeks slightly red.

In this case, there is nothing we can do but forgive Shinnosuke.

"I'll go back first. I have to participate in club activities tomorrow!"

After returning home, Xueno lay on the bed, rolling around on the bed with her Mr. Pan doll.

Should I be happy or angry? Why does it feel like she's positioned as an obedient cat?

In front of Miss Xiao Ai, there was no way I could muster up any thought of resistance!

Remembering Xiao Ai's invitation to the fireworks display, Yukino felt a little desperate. Wouldn't she have to watch Shinnosuke and Xiao Ai display their affection like crazy? She didn't dare to have any complaints!

No, I must contact Eriri. Facing such a powerful enemy, I must find allies.

Although it seems that Eriri's fighting ability is not much different from hers, two people should be stronger than one, right?

Panpan Maomao: Are you there?

Not only has Kasumigaoka Utaha been full of inspiration recently, but Eriri has also had a lot of good inspiration in her own comic creation.

For example, right now, Eriri is drawing a manga about humiliation with Shinnosuke and herself as the male and female protagonists.

This combination of a muscular boy and a skinny blonde loli is unexpectedly popular.
