In the anime, cultivating a girlfriend starts from childhood

When he reached the door, he stopped, turned his back to his mother and added, "When I return to Neon in a while, I will go to see the boy next to Emily."

Boom!

The sound of the door closing echoed in the empty room.

Mrs. Granger, sitting on the luxurious sofa, was startled at first, then chuckled.

She picked up the red wine glass on the table, shook it, and then drank the contents of the glass.

"You two are my children. Do you know why I like Emily more, Chris?"

She looked at the empty wine glass, her face showing some helplessness and self-mockery.

In the room where I was alone, I murmured softly: "It's because your personality is too similar to mine."

As a mother, she had clearly promised to make her two children happy.

He has never deprived his two children of their material needs, and has spent a lot of money on hiring private tutors for their education.

My daughter Emily is proficient in eight languages, piano, cooking, literature, and art appreciation.

It's not just about talent.

She has always tried her best to leave the best things for her children.

As a result, after so many years, the eldest son ran away from home and went to the other side of the earth to play a game as a novel editor. A few years later, he also abducted the younger daughter.

She clearly wanted the children to be happy, but why did it end like this?

The huge manor, without any laughter or joy, nor any feeling of home, is just a place to live.

She picked up the tablet again, enlarged the picture, and stared at the stern boy on the screen.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka is from Japan again.

What magic do you have that makes my lovely daughter smile like this?

Forget it, Chris also cares about Emily, so let him go and explore the way first.

Chapter 139: The Japanese light novel industry is doomed

in the afternoon.

Ryosuke Hiratsuka came to the downstairs of the editorial office of the Fuzugawa Bunko.

He hasn't been here for a long time since he handed over the light novel coordination work to Nitta.

Since this matter is quite important, Ryosuke must come here in person.

At the elevator entrance, he met a wild golden-haired loli.

Ryosuke walked up to him and greeted him, "Good afternoon, Fairy Teacher."

When the fairy Yamada saw Ryosuke's eyes light up, she took out the manuscript tucked under her armpit and shook it in front of the other person.

Then he said in a triumphant tone: "Ryosuke, you came at the right time. You will soon know what a masterpiece this is that I spent a night to summon from the demon world!"

Ryosuke just smiled faintly.

Yamada Fairy is always so awkward in this kind of place. It is obvious that she wrote it herself without sleep and staying up late at night. However, he does not dislike such serious and hardworking people.

She was able to write such a thick stack of manuscripts overnight. In a sense, she could really be said to be a god.

The two walked into the editorial office one after the other.

The Yamada Fairy stomped her little red leather shoes on the floor, making a clattering sound.

She strode to Machida's desk, stopped, and slammed her manuscript heavily on Machida's desk.

Snapped!

At this moment, she was as arrogant as an old man who had been in debt for many years and suddenly paid off his debts.

The Yamada Fairy put his hands on his hips, held his head high and said, "Hehe, Machida, enjoy the Fairy-sama's latest masterpiece!"

It's a rare opportunity that I can finish writing a manuscript without having to go into the dark room.

So this time she didn't wait for the other party to come to her, but chose to come to the editorial department in person to deliver the manuscript, just to show off in the editorial office.

She looked at Machida Sonoko, secretly expecting something.

Come on, Machida, be surprised by the early submission of Fairy-sama, and cheer for the rebirth of this masterpiece!

But Machida Sonoko did not turn out as she expected.

This gold medal editor was still looking at his computer, and even took a sip of the coffee on the table with a calm face.

The golden-haired girl suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so she looked around and found that everyone around her was busy and seemed to have not noticed her existence.

She looked incredulous. As the top author of this publishing house, she was actually ignored.

Just as she was about to confront Machida, Ryosuke followed closely behind her, came in front of Machida and said calmly: "Editor Machida, I'm here."

Upon hearing the sound, Machida Sonoko turned the chair under her butt half a circle.

Facing Ryosuke, she gave him a genuine smile and handed him a few documents.

"Teacher Ryou, congratulations on your work being adapted into an animation! The other party is a very powerful animation company. We have already discussed the relevant matters and details with Mr. Nitta. You can take a look at it first. If there are no problems, please sign and authorize it."

Ryosuke was holding these documents and felt a little dazed. He didn't expect that his work would be adapted into an animation so soon.

Yamada Fairy's dissatisfaction came and went quickly.

I was just about to lose my temper, but when I heard that Ryosuke's work would soon be adapted into an animation, I forgot about the unpleasantness of being ignored before.

She narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly, offering her sincere blessing, "Congratulations, Ryosuke. You will soon become an animation writer."

Ryosuke could still vividly remember the time when he had asked her for advice on his creative writing.

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, he has reached this point.

Machida Yuanzi crossed her arms and said calmly, "Teacher Ryou, I asked you to come here today mainly to sign these documents." Then she changed the subject and said with a slight headache, "After you sign, I have to go to Yamada Fairy's house later, so I may have to excuse myself."

Ryosuke frowned slightly, somewhat confused by what Machida said.

So he pointed at the blonde loli next to him.

"Isn't she here?" His voice was still cold, but there was a hint of doubt in his tone.

Machida looked in the direction Ryosuke was pointing.

The queen first blinked her watery eyes, then stretched out her hands and rubbed the golden-haired loli's cheeks on both sides.

The smooth, chewy and warm feel is incredibly real.

She held the face of the Yamada fairy, looked up at the sun outside the window, frowned and muttered softly: "It turns out that it was not my illusion."

In fact, she had noticed this golden-haired girl a long time ago.

But what I didn't expect was that Yamada Fairy, who had never submitted his manuscript on time, would take the initiative to submit his manuscript before the deadline this time.

At first, Machida Sonoko thought that she was under too much stress recently and that caused her hallucinations.

That's why she ignored him.

The Yamada Fairy kept stomping his red shoes back and forth, venting his dissatisfaction, "Hey, Machida, you're going too far. You actually ignored me!"

"Oh, sorry, fairy teacher, I'm just a little flattered." Machida Sonoko relaxed her brows, retracted her hands, crossed her legs, looked at the golden-haired loli in front of her and smiled.

It would be better to save some trouble, but who likes to work overtime?

She picked up the manuscript that the fairy had just thrown on the table, flipped through a few pages, and after a quick glance, nodded secretly.

While reading, he praised: "As expected of you, Fairy Teacher. This volume is much better than the last one."

"Hehe, my work this time should be available before the spring break next month, right? If so, my servants who have been waiting so eagerly will surely cry with joy."

Mid- to late-March is the school's spring break, and the main consumers of light novels are students.

So spring break is a good time to put new books on the shelves, which is conducive to increasing sales.

Yamada Fairy, who has always relied on the sales of his works as his fighting force, naturally would not miss this opportunity.

The Yamada fairy began to fantasize about himself being placed on a pedestal.

However, Machida's next words shattered her fantasy, "Sorry, Fairy Teacher, you may have to wait until after spring break."

This simple sentence made Yamada Fairy suddenly wake up.

She slammed her hands on the table and looked at Machida in disbelief, "My manuscripts are all here, what do you mean after spring break?"

She didn't quite understand that the previous delays were due to her being too procrastinating.

But I clearly submitted the manuscript on time this time, why does it have to be delayed?

Even if it is postponed, it will not be postponed until after the spring break.

After all, there is still a month left.

Ryosuke listened to their conversation and guessed a small part of the reason.

The publication of light novels by ordinary authors requires review, proofreading, printing, promotion and distribution, and they must be put on the shelves on time.

Ryosuke's first book also revolves around a group of newcomers' new books.

The top authors of publishing houses are treated differently. Generally, their books will be released at different times from those of new authors of their own publishing houses.

One reason is to give some working opportunities to new talents and to train new talents. A publishing house that relies solely on one or two top authors has poor risk resistance.

Secondly, in order to allow top authors to monopolize all the resources of the publishing house in a certain period of time, more extra preparations are needed, and a special topic needs to be produced and put on the shelves as a special period.

Ryosuke was also aware of Yamada Fairy's habits, and delaying submission of manuscripts was the norm.

In the past, on the last day, people from the editorial department would come to her house, arrest her, lock her up in a small dark room, finish writing the manuscript, and then slowly carry out follow-up work.

Rather than saying that the deadline is the deadline for the manuscript of Yamada Yaojing's novel, it is more accurate to say that it is the deadline for capturing her.

Machida looked a little embarrassed and explained, "In order to catch up with the publicity for the animation of "Sword Art Online" next month, Mr. Ryou's work needs to be expedited to produce a refined version."

Fairy Yamada turned her head and looked at Ryosuke, her pupils dilated and her thin cherry-colored lips trembled slightly.

It turns out that the traitor is next to me.

After hearing Machida's explanation, Ryosuke quickly reacted, so he asked, "Even if I cut in line this time, there is still a month before the school's spring break, so I should have enough time. There can't be someone else cutting in line, right?"

Apart from him, there is no one else in this publishing house whose light novel sales can surpass those of Yamada Fairy.

Machida Sonoko gave a thumbs up and praised: "Teacher Ryou, you are amazing. You can even guess this."

The Yamada fairy's cheeks puffed up and he became angrier the more he thought about it.

Ryosuke's situation is rather special due to the animation, so it is normal for him to cut in line once.

Why are there still people cutting in line?

"The sales of light novels is our fighting power! I am a writer of beautiful girl light novels with a total sales of several million copies. Who else in this publishing house can join my team except Ryosuke?"

Machida Sonoko glanced at the fairy who was about to explode, picked up a poster from the table, and spread it out in front of the two of them.

He explained helplessly: "I'm sorry, Fairy Sensei, the main reason is that this guy is going to make a comeback. He was the head writer when Chris was the editor-in-charge. If this wasn't Ryou Sensei's first animation, he would have been included as well."

"Shock! The old legend Hashima Itsuki, which has sold over 10 million copies, is back with another masterpiece about sisters!"

Yamada Fairy's expression changed slightly and he fell silent.

Now she has even lost her most proud sales force.

She clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white. She had finally finished writing the book ahead of schedule, but there was no way she could get it on the shelves on time.

She is also very clear about the publishing house's rules.

If you put yourself in her shoes, you will realize that she cannot compete with the newcomers in her current status, otherwise the newcomers will have no chance to survive.

And for this kind of top topic, basically the winner takes all the resources, so she can only wait.

It's impossible for him to really run away. In the past, in order to find Kashiwagi Eri, he once used the excuse of surrendering to the enemy, but it was just something he said in anger.

Thinking of the eyes of those readers who supported her, they changed from expectation to disappointment.

The fairy was unwilling but helpless. Was there no choice but to give up?

Itsuki Hashima was once her brother Chris's ace author. When she was in her twenties, her light novel sales exceeded 14 million.

That small dark room was actually originally the room her brother prepared for Hashima Itsuki.

Machida was just imitating Chris's behavior.
