If I don't capture the girl, I will die

"None of your business." He replied calmly, then suddenly remembered something and continued to say to Ilfu, who treated this place as her own home: "Ms. Yamada Ilfu, let's discuss something, how about it?"

"What's the matter?" Looking at the smiling Ji Qi, she responded subconsciously, and then she felt in her heart that the other party had some plan.

Ji Qi looked quite serious and said, "How about letting Mashiro take care of me?"

"Wow, your dirty thoughts are written all over your face! Ji Qijun!"

"What are you talking about? I'm just worried that this will be too hard for you. You're only fourteen or fifteen this year and you're in the third grade of junior high school, right? I think it's really unfair to entrust you with this difficult task. You should enjoy your life better! By the way, I'm also worried about what kind of life your Mashiro is leading at your place. So, leave Mashiro to me."

"She lives a very good life! Better than my usual life! I also want someone to take care of me like this, really! And you are lying! Besides, when it comes to taking care of others, that Yuki... Yukinoshita must be much better than you, an unreliable office worker."

Facing the two people who seemed to be arguing, and being at the center of their conversation, Mashiro, with her light golden hair slightly messy, walked to the small nest in the living room where the kitten was placed without any self-awareness.

The pair of cherry blossom eyes without any worldly air came close to Xiao Miao and blinked curiously. It seems that cute and furry things are universally attractive to girls.

This pure white cat has fallen asleep.

"How about this. Let Mashiro decide this matter himself, how about that?" Seeing that Ilf was not stupid, Ji Qi changed the subject.

Judging from how intimate Mashiro was with him, he still had a lot of confidence!

"You are such a mean person... You still say that even though you know Mashiro's character." Yamada Ilfu said speechlessly. She knew that Ji Qi would not do that. It's better to say that she can't do it even if she wants to. She still has Yukinoshita Yukino as her trump card! Ji Qi can only fantasize about it in her mouth. Thinking about it this way, he is quite pitiful like a loser. It's better not to hurt him any more.

"Okay, let's get down to business. How has Mashiro been doing in school these past two days?"

Ji Qi, who was very unhappy with the expression of the blonde loli, said unhappily. Even though the classroom in the school was another cousin of Mashiro, he was still a little worried about this issue.

They both looked so unreliable.

"How should I put it? It's a little subtle, but there shouldn't be any problem, right?" Yamada Ilfu frowned with a thin golden brow, not really understanding. After all, she didn't go to school with him. The only time she could observe him was in the morning and after school in the evening. And she didn't go to school much, so she didn't know much about interpersonal relationships...

Chapter 242 Pet Girl

Glancing at Mashiro who was like a curious baby, Ji Qi said, "Mashiro said that going to school is not as happy as being with me."

Yamada Ilf shook her slender legs. "I really don't understand what's so good about you."

"Miss Fairy, do you dare to look at me and say it again with your conscience?" Ji Qi glanced at the blonde loli. Compared with the name Elf, he was more used to calling her Fairy. Although the pronunciation is almost the same...

"Hmph, just say it. You... Hey, I haven't seen you for two days. You seem to have become a lot more handsome?"

Yamada Ilfu did as he said and looked at him carefully, she was stunned, her pupils reflecting the boy were full of disbelief.

"I used to be like this, but you just don't have eyes to discover beauty."

"Shut up, you shameless old thief!"

After calmly taking a sip of tea, Ji Qi walked to the side of Mashiro who was squatting, and squatted down with her.

"Mashiro, are you going to draw a comic?"

The girl turned her gaze to his face and nodded adorably.

As expected, Ji Qi continued, "Then come to my room. By the way, have you met Ms. Iida?"

"No. Ayano said she's been very busy these past two days and will probably be free tomorrow."

Mashiro spoke in a calm tone, as if he knew nothing.

"Ah, these two days are the deadlines, there's nothing I can do."

"Deadline?" When calm Mashiro heard about her favorite manga, her beautiful cherry blossom eyes blinked.

"Yeah. You submitted your article to Weekly Shonen Jump, and you plan to continue there, right? Once Mashiro becomes successful, the manga will be serialized at a rate of one chapter per week, which means you will have to submit your article once a week."

Himechi imparts knowledge to Mashiro who knows nothing except drawing.

After a pause, he looked at the girl in front of him with her ears perked up and her face full of concentration, as if what she was listening to was not boring knowledge that normal people would understand, but some correspondence course secrets. He continued with a smile: "I believe that it won't take long for Mashiro to publish the comics smoothly. And at Mashiro's speed, one chapter a week will be no problem. Miss Iida must have found a treasure."

Although it was encouragement, it was also very affirmative. From the inside out, it seemed that he believed that Mashiro would definitely become a manga artist on Jump.

Even though, in the comics, Mashiro is a newcomer. Even though Weekly Shonen Jump is the most famous comic magazine in Japan, and almost all phenomenal comics come from there.

Because, no matter who you are, you can achieve great success by doing only one thing all day long. Even if you don't have talent, you can make up for it with time and hard work. Not to mention that Mashiro's talent in painting is recognized by the world. She spends all her time except sleeping and eating on painting. No matter what kind of achievements she makes, it is natural.

"……I will work hard!"

Mashiro is a girl with extremely high mood swings.

She could handle most things without changing her expression or heartbeat. But when talking about her favorite topic, a little excitement appeared on her face.

"You've worked hard enough. Combining work and rest is the right way." Faced with the girl's high morale, Ji Qi humorously and naturally stroked her soft light golden hair like touching a kitten.

Mashiro, who was not at all disgusted by this intimate gesture, narrowed her narrow and long almond-shaped eyes slightly, with a slightly enjoyable expression. She looked exactly like the kitten in front of her.

Enjoying the comfortable touch of the girl's hair in his hands, and resisting the urge to sniff it twice, Ji Qi gently patted her head, "Okay, leisure time is over. Start drawing, Mashiro, let me see if you have made any progress recently."

The girl nodded her head seriously, like a soldier following her superior's orders.

The two walked back to the bedroom.

Since they were talking about comics, Yamada Elf, who didn't know much about it, didn't interrupt their conversation. But now that they had gone back to their rooms, she looked left and right in the living room, and with her shoulders hunched, she followed behind.

Ji Qi's bedroom and desk are quite large, so at least three people can sit together without feeling crowded.

He tidied the table first before letting Mashiro sit down.

Sitting in front of the computer, Ji Qi, who decided to write today, turned his head and said to Mashiro, "Let's do the same as last time and draw the storyboard first."

"it is good."

Mashiro didn't want to waste time talking nonsense, she just picked up her brush and drawing board, and in less than a minute, she found her state, her soft hands didn't hesitate at all every time she put pen to paper, which made Tian Yierfu extremely envious.

If only she had this strong willpower...

Looking at Ji Qi, who was making crackling sounds and dancing with his hands on the keyboard, Yamada Elf blinked her pink eyes.

Wow.

This person is even more exaggerated than Shiina Mashiro.

Isn't his typing speed too fast? He doesn't even need to think?

No wonder other light novel authors only publish four books a year, about 400,000 words. This guy published 200,000 in less than two months! The human coder is talking about you!

It was the first time that Yamada Elf saw the other person typing with her own eyes and her eyes widened.

"If you're bored, go back to bed. I don't think we'll be done until one or two. Or there are books on the shelf that you can use to while away the time."

Hey, hey, you keep typing while talking to her? What kind of monster is this?

Even if there are staff members who help to proofread typos, they should at least pay attention! Is the text written in this state really okay? At least be responsible to consumers.

Comparing her own speed, Yamada Elf felt so incredible that she forgot about the taboos between men and women. She approached someone with the scent of a fresh bath, wanting to see if he was fighting or something.

As a result, her reading speed was almost the same as the other person's typing speed.

Most importantly, there is no problem with the quality!

As a representative author of commercial novels, Yamada Ilfu naturally understands the market and what types of novels readers like to read the most. So, she has also read the popular Sword Art Online.

With her vision, she could tell at a glance that this was also an out-and-out commercial article.

But so what? If others like to watch it and are willing to consume it, then it is a good work.

Besides, Sword Art Online is really well written.

At least Yamada Elf likes to watch it.

Since she knew the plot and had no difficulty reading, she was even more surprised when she saw the words constantly forming in the document on her computer.

Typos are certainly inevitable, but there are no problems with the plot, character dialogues, or scene descriptions!

It was as if he had thought of everything before he hit the keyboard.

Damn, coach, she wants to learn this too! I’m so envious!

……

PS: The following is pure trading time.

Today I’m recommending a book titled: Love Cycle.

Original daily life, the author is an old driver. The writing style and characters are great, non-toxic, interested babies can go and have a look o(*￣︶￣*)o

The love cycle actually means that your circle is really messy~ A pure love author who builds roads, first-class driving skills, welcome to the car~

Chapter 243 Three people sleep in one room!

"Don't fall asleep again today!"

Ji Qi didn't care about Yamada Ilfu who was watching him typing, he just gave her a reminder.

"I know." The loli, who was immersed in the plot, responded unhappily. This person is really hateful.

Although she wanted to continue reading, it was very uncomfortable for both her body and eyes. After less than half an hour, Yamada Elf could not hold on any longer and returned to bed.

After resting her eyes for a while, she naturally adjusted herself to a comfortable position on the bed and took out her mobile phone.

As for what Ji Qi said about reading?

Well, as a writer, a certain amount of reading is definitely necessary. But who can concentrate on reading in this situation? She doesn't have the concentration of the two people in front of her.

Yamada Ilfu, who was browsing Twitter, rolled her eyes and found an angle to secretly take a photo of the two of them with her phone. The click did not attract the attention of the two. Or rather, Shiina Mashiro, who was concentrating, really did not hear it, and Ji Qi heard it but did not care.

Then he photoshopped it a bit and uploaded it to his Twitter.

The title is "Working awesomely with Hime-shichi and Shiina-sensei!"

Shaking her snow-white little feet, Yamada Elf excitedly refreshed her Twitter.

As a popular light novel writer, her Twitter account has quite a few followers. After a while, there were many replies.

"First."

"Oh, is this the author of Sword Art Online? He really is very young and handsome. I didn't believe it when I heard he was still in high school."

"The guy upstairs is either a gay or a girl, confirmed. Although there is only a picture of the girl on the right from behind, she looks really awesome."

"I can't talk to the second dimension, so I'm leaving.jpg"

"Is Mr. Shiina the British artist Shiina Mashiro? I just compared the photos and I think it's correct!"

"You're all focusing on the wrong things, aren't you? Mr. Yamada, they're the only ones working and you're just slacking off, right? Because this photo was obviously taken from the bed, and judging by the decoration, this is a boy's room, right? They have a really good relationship."

"After listening to the analysis of the great god above, I realized that this photo reveals a lot of information."

There are all kinds of things, you can talk about anything.

Yamada Elf happily looked at the items one by one. She seemed to have found a good way to pass the time.

In the bedroom, only the sound of keyboards, like the sound of dense artillery fire in a positional battle, echoed.

half past twelve.

Ji Qi stopped destroying the keyboard, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

That’s all for today.

The third volume of Sword Art Online has been completed. The previous 200,000 words were only published in two volumes because the length of the early part of Sword Art Online was just like that.

In fact, he didn't have to work so hard. The update time of Japanese light novels is very loose, and most of the time the standard is four books a year. But no matter who the author is, those who update quickly are definitely more popular than those who update slowly. Even the publishing house will give preferential treatment, and if combined, it is no problem for the popularity to increase several times.

The problem is how to make the author stop grumbling, which is a big problem. The two authors around him, Yamada Ilph and Kasumigaoka Utaha, can illustrate the general situation in the industry.

People like him can be said to be the conscience of the industry.

He had discussed it with the editor before. From quarterly to monthly, that is, one volume per month. At the same time, the editor also readily agreed to more publicity and a little more copyright fee for animation. Of course, the premise is that the quality is up to standard and it is not random.

After saving the document and sending it to the email address of the editor in Kagurazaka, Ji Qi reminded her with his mobile phone. Then he stood up and stretched happily.

He was just about to use himself as an example to spur Yamada Ilf on, when he discovered that this unsuspecting blonde loli had fallen asleep in his bed again!

Rubbing his aching head, Ji Qi did not wake her up for the time being. He walked behind Shiina Mashiro and observed her.

He found that when painting, Mashiro Shiina always exuded a fascinating temperament.

Like the snow lotus beside the Tianchi Lake on Mount Tianshan.

Ethereal and firm.

Not only that, but she was painting with a focused and dazzling light in her eyes, which looked very moving. He felt that this was probably the look of a person who was obsessed with something he loved.

Mashiro, who has a clear goal and is determined and fearless in moving towards this goal, is really... dazzling.
