Surprised!
Shocked!
incredible!
Reading this manuscript felt like experiencing a tremendous shock.
The talent and literary skill conveyed in her writing flowed like a waterfall, overwhelming her spirit in an instant.
"This...this texture of the text!?"
Shi Yu's expression changed, and she spoke in utter surprise:
"The masterful control over the story's pacing, perfectly integrated into an engaging plot..."
Her expression was one of disbelief, and her mind was in turmoil.
Why does this scumbag possess such terrifying talent?!
God is so unfair!
and also……
He's clearly a jerk, yet I actually admire and respect him because of his talent!
Kasumigaoka Utaha! Wake up!
He's a bastard!
Shi Yu gritted her teeth, trying her best to suppress her emotions.
But the look in his eyes as he looked at Seiji Fujiwara still carried an undeniable hint of respect and admiration.
The more knowledgeable a person is, the more they will understand how terrible this manuscript is.
There are many talented light novel writers; and countless others excel at popular fiction.
However, mastering both and integrating literary elements into commercial creation to produce a classic work that is both sophisticated and accessible, entertaining the masses while maintaining depth, is not so simple.
Those who can do this are few and far between, looking at the whole world!
And now.
There's now another person like Fujiwara Seiji.
"Haha, Ms. Machida, are you satisfied with the second volume?" Seiji Fujiwara asked with a smile after they had both finished reading.
"How could I not be satisfied!"
Machida Sonoko stood up excitedly, her voice urgent: "If this quality isn't good enough, then 99% of light novel authors might as well commit seppuku!"
As she spoke, she took the manuscript back from Shiyu's hand and solemnly put it into her handbag.
“I originally wanted to visit Fujiwara-sensei to comfort and comfort you…” She looked at Fujiwara Seiji’s sunny and cheerful face, shook her head and smiled: “But now it seems that Fujiwara-sensei doesn’t need to at all. Your mentality is as strong as iron.”
"Not only was he unaffected, but he was also able to create the second volume without any problems."
"The second volume, which I've written, is of even higher quality!!"
Machida Sonoko showed an expression of admiration.
"Fujiwara-sensei, are you perhaps the reincarnation of the god of light novels?"
"Hahaha, maybe!" Fujiwara Seiji laughed loudly upon hearing this.
This seemingly invincible player might just be able to crush the industry, just like Osamu Tezuka, the former god of manga, sweeping aside his peers to become the god of light novels!
"Then please take good care of me, Fujiwara-sama!" Machida Sonoko smiled and jokingly complimented.
"No problem, no problem!" Seiji Fujiwara waved his hand.
Shiyu remained silent, watching Fujiwara Seiji with a complex expression.
“Now that I’ve received your manuscript, I won’t stay any longer. I need to go back and show it to the editor-in-chief. He’s really looking forward to your work!” Machida Sonoko politely took a sip of the coffee that Utaha had prepared, then got up and slung her bag over her shoulder.
"By the way, this is a tourist voucher for Shinazugawa, from Hokkaido."
"I'll send you a list later. Shinazugawa has partnerships with many hotels, and there are vouchers for almost all the attractions in Japan. Just let me know which ones you'd like to see."
Machida Sonoko took out two travel vouchers and handed them to Fujiwara Seiji.
“Okay.” Seiji Fujiwara accepted it without hesitation.
This is considered a benefit for popular authors in the online library.
"Then I'll take my leave." Machida Sonoko bowed and walked towards the door.
"I send you."
Seiji Fujiwara saw her out.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: First Print Run of 40 Copies!
He came out of Seiji Fujiwara's apartment.
Machida Sonoko felt as if she were walking on clouds, and she was in a dazed state after being extremely excited.
Without the slightest hesitation, she dialed Ryuji Aida's number from inside the taxi.
"Editor-in-Chief! Editor-in-Chief!"
"Machida? What's wrong? Is Fujiwara-sensei...is he alright? Is he under too much pressure?" Aida Ryuji on the other end of the phone instinctively became nervous.
I thought something had happened.
"No! Absolutely not!" Machida Sonoko took a deep breath. "Editor-in-Chief, Fujiwara-sensei has finished writing the second volume! I'm taking the manuscript back to the company now! You absolutely must see it yourself! You absolutely must!"
Volume Two?
The editor-in-chief was taken aback and couldn't help but put the phone away and rub his ears.
I wonder if I misheard.
Under such immense public pressure, it is remarkable that Fujiwara-sensei, being so young, was able to remain restrained!
How can one continue creating after something like this?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The editor-in-chief didn't believe it, but he didn't show it at all. He simply replied calmly, "I understand. Bring the manuscript back."
“Yes!” Machida Sonoko, oblivious to the editor-in-chief’s odd behavior, nodded vigorously.
Half an hour later.
Machida Sonoko rushed into the editor-in-chief's office.
"Editor-in-chief, please!"
Upon entering the office, he solemnly handed the second volume of "A Certain Magical Index" from his satchel to Ryuji Aida.
"it is good."
Ryuji Aida took the manuscript, poured himself a cup of tea, and planned to review it slowly.
However, I only watched the beginning.
His nonchalant expression froze instantly, and his eyes widened in surprise.
As you read on from the manuscript.
His expression grew increasingly surprised, his eyes widening as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Finally, after watching the whole thing.
The editor-in-chief was simply stunned.
"genius!"
He couldn't help but slam his fist on the table in amazement, exclaiming in surprise, "No! This is a monster! A great demon!!"
Hehehe...
Machida Sonoko sat next to her, unable to suppress the corners of her mouth.
She is Seiji Fujiwara's editor.
The better the quality of "A Certain Magical Index", the more she will benefit from it.
Putting everything else aside, Fujiwara Seiji's current achievements alone make it virtually certain that Machida Sonoko, as the editor in charge, will take over as editor-in-chief in the future.
even……
Who knows what lies ahead!
"Summon all department heads! Meeting in half an hour!" Aida Ryuji's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he immediately used his landline to notify his secretary to arrange an impromptu meeting.
After saying that, he looked at Machida Sonoko, his eyes full of admiration.
"Well done, Machida!"
"No, it's all thanks to your excellent teaching," Machida Sonoko said with a humble smile.
"While I certainly deserve some credit, it's mainly your doing." The editor-in-chief smiled slightly. "Machida, you must maintain a good relationship with Professor Fujiwara, understand?"
“Yes!” Machida Sonoko nodded solemnly.
"Very good!" The editor-in-chief nodded in satisfaction.
Seiji Fujiwara's fate not only concerns Sonoko Machida's future, but also his own future as editor-in-chief.
As long as the subsequent releases of "A Certain Magical Index" go smoothly.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll rise to a high-ranking position in the paperback publishing industry, something he never even dared to dream of before!
How could the editor-in-chief not take this to heart?
……
……
Half an hour later.
The spacious conference room was filled with senior executives from various departments of Shinazugawa Bunko.
Everyone was a little uneasy, thinking that the editor-in-chief was about to announce some bad news.
However, Aida Ryuji's first words left everyone speechless.
"The previous plan to let the second volume of 'A Certain Magical Index' go unresolved is scrapped!"
void?
The attendees were all surprised, their expressions becoming uncertain and doubtful.
"Volume Two will be published as planned! And the first print run will be 400,000 copies!" The editor-in-chief looked around and said in an unquestionable tone.
boom!
This statement immediately caused a huge uproar.
The colleagues present all stared in astonishment.
The marketing manager was the first to stand up, asking incredulously, "Editor-in-Chief Aida, are you serious?"
"You know how much they're criticizing them right now, and you're publishing it now, with an initial print run of 400,000 copies?"
"Isn't this throwing money into a fire? Our partner distributors won't order from us!"
Aida Ryuji could not deny it.
then.
The head of the publicity department also stood up and advised, "Yes, Editor-in-Chief Aida! If we publish now, our publicity channels simply won't be able to expand. All the media outlets are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves! This publicity expenditure will only bring us a barrage of criticism!"
Ryuji Aida turned a deaf ear.
The head of the distribution department frowned, then said, "Four hundred thousand copies... If we get stuck with that, the storage costs and paper costs alone will make our next quarter's financial report look terrible! We won't be able to explain it to the board!"
In the conference room, the attendees nodded in agreement.
