Is my sister a magical girl or a lily!

"However, even if there are police in the watch world, we will still have pepper spray on the streets!"

"Ah... Mio, if you use such a metaphor, do you not believe that I will protect you at the first time? Indeed, you will also have such considerations. If you suddenly encounter a familiar or something, when you are waiting for my rescue , or do you need the minimum means of resistance, maybe let Tatsuya share the tactics of ordinary people against witches and familiars?"

"Huh? It's not that we don't believe what the squad leader said, it's just..."

"I know, I know, it's just the thought of wanting to have self-preservation ability and the longing for magical girls. After all, you still know too little about the things in the other world."

Entering the urban area of ​​Mitakihara, they originally planned to find a coffee shop to sit down and talk.

Ya Meng carried the conversation to the present, but suddenly realized that showing them something practical would be more useful than persuasion.

"When people were young, people would more or less look forward to the police, envious of their straight police uniforms and awe-inspiring aura of justice, but they may not necessarily take up this profession when they grow up, because most people know that the work of the police is far from what it seems. After the mighty justice, I completely gave up the idea of ​​becoming a policeman."

"I think this process is also applicable to you now. You have to fully understand magical girls to dispel your thoughts."

"Then, first of all, I'd like you to meet other magical girls other than me~"

The course of action that was going to find the coffee shop changed at this time.

Yameng decided to change the plan and take them to know the other world from the beginning.

Since they want to know the other world, what other activity can be more intuitive and authoritative than letting them meet a few veteran magical girls who almost represent the other world?Therefore, the target location of the move was positioned as a library publishing house that had just been established in Mitakihara. She just knew that two seniors were staying there today.

---

The library just established in Mitakihara is called "Candlelight Festival Library".

It is the publishing house that Tatsuya asked his mother to set up to publish his own novels.

Today, even on Saturday, Tatsuya is still busy here in order to prepare for the first release of the novel next week.

It's proceeding as planned, and the progress of the new book released by the 'Paper Drama Library' is also being watched by special people, but that blog..."

"Is there any blog post updated?"

A white-collar man with glasses was reporting to Tatsuya in the library's office building.

This picture looked a little weird, after all, Tatsuya who was being reported was only a junior high school student in his early 14s.But including the man with glasses reporting, the other busy employees in the office building on this floor did not express any objection to this scene - not only because of Tayana's title of Master Shikame, but also because of his summer vacation. , demonstrated ability.

"Yes, the self-proclaimed 'magic girl connoisseur' who is extremely influential in the magical girl subculture blogger has published a new blog post...he combines our upcoming novel with 'paper Juwenku' novels that are about to be released, they were pulled together for a comparative review."

"Oh, this guy publicly commented on our propaganda before, and this time he won't let go of Sanqianyuan, so let's give some pointers together."

The office building is located in the central business district with the most high-rise buildings in Mitakihara, and a floor was allocated from the property of the Kame Zaibatsu for their use.Although it didn't take long to set up, the neat rows of card slots in the office area, the piles of documents on the desktop full of card slots, and the busy staff all reflect an efficient office atmosphere.

Tatsuya didn't sit down and work in the separate office marked "Manager's Office".

It currently belongs to Yan who came to assist him, and it is also a channel for communicating and reporting with the parent company.

Tatsuya's slot is just in front of other employees, just outside the manager's room, so it's more conspicuous.

It was in this position that he and the male white-collar worker in glasses were discussing serious matters.

"Master, this blog post of his clearly stated that after comparison, we will determine which side is the orthodox successor of the magical girl subculture between us and the 'Paper Drama Library'."

Chapter 5 Maybe this mainline was laid a long time ago? (one)

Publicity, as an integral part of a product's life cycle, is still an important part of business activities in the near future.

To do a good job in publicity work, in today's highly developed self-media, it can be done not only by advertising.

Various well-known celebrities and big Vs who are active on the Internet, as well as forums and post bars with dense fans in various circles, have become the key to public relations in the publicity work.With the help of their popularity, they can often create publicity benefits far exceeding ordinary advertisements.Even if the operation is good, it can divert popularity to its own self-media and platform, creating word-of-mouth and new promotion channels for new products in the future.

In the target circle of the novel that Tatsuya was about to release, there happened to be such a well-known blogger.

He is famous for recommending and appreciating works related to magical girls, and has accumulated a lot of popularity.

It was this blogger that the white-collar worker with glasses reported to Tatsuya, and he seemed to be involved in the contest between Tatsuya and the Sanzenin family.

"Master, this blog post of his made it clear that after comparison, we will confirm that we and the 'Paper Drama Library' are the orthodox successors of the magical girl subculture."

"The tone is really loud, as if he is qualified to judge whether our works are orthodox... I asked you to investigate his identity information before, and now I have found other channels to contact him, or directly confirmed that he is in reality identity?"

Speaking of the Sanqianyuan family, in fact, this contest had already begun when Da Ye had a conversation with the eldest lady in Fenglingdu.

At that time, Miss Sanzenin had clearly stated the direction of public opinion about magical girls they hoped for.She obviously disapproves of Tatsuya's debunking of the shady cycle of tragedy and the conspiracy of QB. They want to portray the magical girl as "the messenger of justice who defeats the witch".To this end, the acquisition of the "paper drama library" and the sale of novels must be one of the means.

Once the public's impression of magical girls solidifies to the point of "Messenger of Justice", what benefits will be brought to their families or what plans can be promoted, Tatsuya has not investigated clearly for the time being, but if Sanqianyuan's family published this time If his novel is really guiding the public's perception in this direction, it will inevitably interfere with his own plan.

Since the "Paper Drama Library" started to promote the new novel, they have been on opposite sides.

And the popular bloggers who are now involved in it have added random numbers to the game between the two parties.

"Sorry, master, even if we borrowed the intelligence agency from the parent company, we couldn't find out the identity information of that blogger. He didn't even leave any obvious traces on other social platforms except that blog. We can only find him through private messages on blogs, and have no other means of contacting him."

"No need to apologize, everyone has done a good enough job. Now it seems that the guy is very careful to keep his privacy confidential. In all likelihood, he is running the blog as a business. Then he made a special effort between us and the three Interfering in the competition of Senin is definitely not as simple as he said, "judging the orthodoxy of the magical girl subculture."

"Regarding this, our public relations staff sent him a private message that mentioned some transactions implicitly, but he rejected them all righteously. It is really hard to see what he wants to gain from this matter."

"Using the popularity of 'Paper Drama Library' to hype? Or is the price on the other side even higher? Forget it, just keep an eye on his affairs. For us, a newcomer in the industry, Wenku, if he makes such a fuss, he will help nothing. We have heated up our popularity. Regardless of whether it is positive or negative comments, at least from the bright side, we have already stood on the same level as the industry giant "Paper Drama Library". Haha, maybe because of this , can we celebrate?"

"If the young master can hold a swearing-in banquet before the novel is officially released, I think everyone will be very excited."

"Just do it like this, just to reward everyone who worked overtime on the weekend. Then, you will announce the news of the dinner later. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Tonight, everyone will go out and relax."

"Okay, I'll do it now."

After finishing the business, Tatsuya heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the male office worker with glasses leave.

Although the road to publishing the novel was much more bumpy than he expected, but at present, they still have an advantage in the three-party melee.

After all, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. As novices, they have much less worries than Sanqianyuan, and they are more open to doing.

Thinking of this, he turned on his office computer and checked the blog that became the center of the topic—the latest blog post has been maxed out by fans, and those readers who like the magical girl subculture talked about themselves in the comments The understanding of "orthodoxy" was divided into several factions who stood on the side of the paper drama library, the blogger himself and them, and were torn into a ball.

Their faction is a little weaker, and it can be seen that most of the supporters of the candlelight festival library are trolls recruited by public relations staff, but the Sanqianyuan side is not an overwhelming advantage, and more people stand on the position of bloggers, waiting The novels of the two parties are published, and then judged by the so-called "orthodox judging criteria" of the bloggers.

"Orthodox judging criteria" is the largest part of this blog post. The blogger has divided the scoring items in detail, from the image of the magical girl, whether there is a classic transformation plot, the degree of lily, and even the central theme, etc. On the other hand, more than a dozen items are listed for scoring, waiting for their works to be published.

Tatsuya has memorized the scoring items by heart before, and he is confident that his works perfectly meet the requirements of "orthodox" in most items, but in terms of the theme... Can the depressing story of the magic circle meet the readers' requirements? What about your taste?

He wants to believe that the story of his sister, who has made a sensation in another world and created a new genre of magical girls in one fell swoop, can still succeed in this world, but this kind of success is a challenge to the so-called "orthodoxy".

"I hope that blogger is someone who can accept stories about depressive magical girls."

"Perhaps I can

Talk to him, get him vaccinated? "

Randomly thinking about some plans that might not be needed, he used this method to decompress himself.

It's a pity that there is really not much time for him to relax. Before he had been thinking about it for too long, the staff at the front desk sent him a notice.

"Master, Ms. Kirisaki is here to visit with your classmates."

The moment this message popped up on his computer desktop, he immediately felt one head and two big.

It's okay if it's just Yameng alone, because she has been working here recently and is considered an insider.

But it’s not good to add other students. You don’t need to think about who the other students are. To some extent, those guys are mobile troublemakers.

"Receive them in the manager's office first."

No matter how painful it is, it's not easy to shut them out in the face of your classmates.

He responded to the above message to the front desk staff.

Let's assume that they came here for the affairs of the other world, so it should be good to let the two older sisters, who are also the seniors of the two magical girls, share their pressure--I mentioned before that the manager's office is currently Homura's territory, and today It was Saturday, Yuan was resting at home and didn't go to work, so he came to visit.Now they are all in the manager's office, as for what they are doing together... Tatsuya thought he had better go say hello first, to prevent his classmates from encountering any inappropriate scenes.

Getting up and leaving the office card, Tatsuya wanted to put the computer on standby, but suddenly stopped while operating.

He pulled the interface to a comment position on the blog post, and carefully looked at the blogger's reply to the fans.

Then there was a strong sense of déjà vu.

"This kind of attitude that is not too big for seeking fun, seems to have seen it somewhere?"

"It can't be that guy? Speaking of which, he has always been very interested in the works of magical girls. After knowing that I am writing novels, he often snatches my manuscripts to read. If he becomes a well-known blogger in the circle, he seems to say Make sense?"

He tapped the keyboard and copied those few words, as if he forgot to entertain his classmates, and also forgot to go to the manager's room to say hello to his two sisters.

In order to confirm his guess, he took out his mobile phone and called his best friend.

Chapter 6 Maybe this main line was laid a long time ago? (two)

"Master Kame is waiting for everyone in the manager's room, please Miss Kirisaki take the students there."

The conversation was divided into two parts. On the other side, Da Da also suddenly felt that the way the popular bloggers left messages was somewhat familiar, so he went to contact his best friend to confirm the situation; Ya Meng, who came to visit Yuan Heyan, had already received a reply from the front desk staff of the office building.

Yameng has been doing odd jobs here this summer—because Homura has been staying here, and Madoka will come by from time to time, so that she can share her experience in magical girls... She will not admit that Tatsuya’s salary is higher than that of the family restaurant Well - so, she is quite familiar with the layout of the office building, and led the small team members to the manager's office with ease.

"This is the office environment for white-collar workers. It is quite different from the temple my family hosts. Sure enough, there are still big differences between industries."

"Cut, isn't it just an office building? The place where my uncle hangs out has a higher floor than this place!"

"Idiot Watanabe, no matter how high the floor is in the place where you gangsters gather, it's just a waste building that stops halfway through construction."

"I thought there would be a lot of books and a lot of printing equipment in the publishing house. It doesn't look like I imagined here."

"Well, after all, Tatsuya and the others have just started, and the first book has not yet been released. Of course, they can't collect the previous works. As for the printing equipment, all the books are published now. Even in the past, they were placed in the printing factory. inner."

Along the way, the small team members, who are junior high school students who are far from entering the society, expressed their own amazement at this rare office scene.

No matter whether it is comparing with the working environment they are familiar with or confirming with the imaginary scene, they all have a sense of freshness and cautiousness when stepping into unfamiliar places, walking closely behind Yameng in the busy place. between employees.

From the elevator to the manager's room, there was not too long a distance. They quickly crossed Tatsuya's booth and stood at the door of the manager's room.Yameng knew that Tatsuya's card slot was just there, but they didn't see him when they passed by. According to common sense, no matter how busy he was, he should come out to receive him, or he had already entered the manager's office first. room?

The squad leader didn't think too much, she knocked on the door familiarly, pulled down the handle and opened it.

"Sister Yan, Tatsuya, let's come in..."

Then in the next instant, the movement of opening the door stopped.

"Oh, it's Xiaoya's dream~ It's a good time for you to open the door. Come on, Homura, eat the last bite of cake before you can receive them. Open your mouth, ah~"

"Ah-ahhh...chew chew...Yameng, next time you knock on the door, remember to wait until there is a response before opening."

The people who stopped Yameng's door opening were the two seniors staying in the manager's room.

She originally thought that Tatsuya had already received the notification from the front desk and told them to go to the manager's room, so she would inform the people staying inside anyway?Besides, she has been working here for so long, and she often rushes to the door here. Subconsciously, she didn't strictly abide by the etiquette of knocking on the door, and opened the door easily.

Who would have thought that Da Da was not in the manager's office at all, and he didn't even inform Yuan and Yan inside!Otherwise, how could she see Yuan scooping up cake with a spoon and handing it to Yan's mouth as soon as she opened the door, while Yanqian tilted her head and opened her mouth halfway, ready to be fed!

This picture is slightly unexpected, so it has a strong impact.

When Yameng was stunned and didn't realize that he was about to close the door, the two senior magic girls just finished feeding Play under the surprised eyes of the small team members, and then calmly complained about Yameng's way of knocking on the door.

"Uh... sorry! Next time I will wait until I get a response before opening the door!"

Compared with the reactions of Kia Meng and the small team members, Yuan and Homura were too calm.

So calm that even the feeding of Play was finished, Yameng finally figured out that in this situation, the door should be closed first, right?

——Turn off the wool!I've seen everything I should and shouldn't have seen!Anyway, please apologize at this time!

Yameng, who was extremely entangled, had no chance to say the fixed line "I'm sorry to bother you", so she could only bow down and apologize under Yuan Heyan's unusually calm eyes.

"It's okay~ It's okay~ There's no need to shy away from the relationship between Homura and me~"

"On the contrary, it was Xiao Yameng who brought all the other students here to play. It's really rare - don't just stand there, come in quickly~"

The atmosphere was a bit weird for a while, and the small team members behind Yameng were at a loss because they saw the picture of Lily's scent being too fragrant. Fortunately, the mature big sister Yuan would not let the atmosphere cool down. She immediately showed a gentle smile, Putting down the cake and spoon to welcome the door, he pulled up the bowed Yameng, and then greeted the students with a smile.

This kind of demeanor, which has experienced big scenes and can cope with the current small embarrassment, completely dazzled the eyes of the junior high school students. One by one, they walked into the manager's room stiffly like marionettes possessed by magic.

"Oh! Big sisters, you are so open! How did you manage to show your orientation to everyone so calmly!"

Well, not everyone was overwhelmed by Yuan's big sister aura.At least a certain guy with the most out-of-the-box thinking and rotten to the level of a slut, as if seeing a life mentor, immediately rushed forward and grabbed Yuan's hand and shook it violently.

"Huh? It seems that this younger sister's orientation is also different? In fact, this kind of personal taste is nothing to be ashamed to show to others, especially when you know that everyone around you is a good companion, isn't it?"

"So that's the case! But when I make boys into CP, they will immediately stay away from me. What's the reason?"

Due to Qian Jia's interruption, Yuan's process of welcoming the small team members into the manager's room suddenly changed.

The session that was supposed to be used to introduce each other directly turned into a question-and-answer meeting for rotten girls, and the moment Qianjia said "make the boys into a CP", the boys who followed her into the room immediately retreated. After going out, they collectively looked at Qianjia, who had a pure face and asked questions like a good student, with horrified eyes.

"That means they haven't realized their true desires yet, and you need to spend more power to help them open the door to the new world, oh oh oh oh oh oh~"

The weird topic that Qianjia brought up was actually answered seriously by Yuan!

Not only did she answer seriously, but she also folded the back of her hand and put it to her mouth, laughing like a queen!
