the other side.

"Ryosuke, what did Hashima say to you just now?" asked the Yamada fairy curiously.

Hiratsuka Ryosuke responded as he walked along the road and thought, "Hashima-senpai said that the schedule problem can be solved."

Yamada Fairy's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "Really?"

"As long as we can solve the problems of the shelf planning and bookstore recommendation, printing and other issues are actually minor problems."

"Is that really all you said just now?"

"Well, that's all."

Hearing the other party's casual reply, Yamada Fairy lowered his head and began to think.

Her intuition as a girl told her that Ryosuke had a little secret.

She is actually not a person who likes to pry into other people's secrets.

But when this secret is related to her, it can't be ignored.

The fairy secretly observed Ryosuke's stern profile out of the corner of her eye.

The writer's brain starts working like crazy.

Are they discussing erotic topics?

But Ryosuke doesn't seem to be very interested in that kind of thing.

She was clearly seen naked by him at the beginning, but she was still able to ring the doorbell calmly.

This is not the mentality of a lustful person.

No, why would I think of this kind of thing now!

The Yamada fairy shook her head repeatedly to deny her own wild thoughts.

Suddenly, she felt someone pulling her collar, her steps became disrupted, and her body leaned back unconsciously.

Then it hit something solid.

She looked up and saw Ryosuke's slightly reproachful gaze.

"Teacher Fairy, what are you thinking about? The traffic light is red now."

The Yamada fairy suddenly woke up, with an unnatural expression on his face, and straightened his clothes, "Well, thank you."

Damn it, how come I didn’t even notice this just now?

His chest is pretty solid though.

She stood next to Ryosuke again and glanced at him secretly.

It turned out that Ryosuke's brows were furrowed, and a rare expression of embarrassment appeared on his face.

She began to think from her perspective, wondering what she would do if it was Ryosuke who encountered this kind of problem and came to her for help.

First of all, she would definitely give up her position to Ryosuke because her family was not short of money.

Yamada Fairy still remembers when Ryosuke first approached her to learn writing, the reason for writing novels was very simple - to make money.

This reason is enough to illustrate one problem: Ryosuke himself is short of money.

This is also the reason why her schedule was taken away by Ryosuke, but she was unwilling to accept Ryosuke giving up his position to her.

Secondly, Hashima Itsuki owes foreign debts. If his brother uses his connections or privileges to postpone the publication of Hashima's new book, the interest on Hashima's debt will surely grow. After all, everyone has his own difficulties.

In the end, Yamada Fairy discovered that whether it was Ryosuke or Hashima, the reasons they needed to put the products on the shelves at this time seemed to be much more sufficient than hers.

Although she would occasionally make some jokes or act a little harmlessly.

But she is essentially a kind girl. The biggest reason why she can become friends with other problem children is that she can think from other people's perspectives and be considerate of others.

The fairy felt a little sorry when she saw Ryosuke frowning and thinking hard.

The issue of recommendation in bookstores sounds simple, but she is not a novice author who has just started writing a book, so this problem is not so easy to solve.

Alas, there is no other way. It seems I have to postpone it.

So she said to the boy next to her with a hint of regret: "Ryosuke, why don't we just forget about it? I can just postpone my new book."

Chapter 143: A joke?

Yamada Fairy was mentally prepared.

I missed the spring break, so the sales of my new book in the future will definitely not be as good as during the holiday.

Her servants will have to meet her new work later.

Although it is a bit regrettable, others need to be put on the shelves during this period of time.

Hearing this, Ryosuke turned his head, looked at her and joked, "Teacher Fairy, are you someone who gives up so easily? I remember when you and I were fighting for Eriri, you were not so polite."

Yamada Fairy understood the other party's implicit meaning and blushed in embarrassment.

In order to snatch Kashiwagi Eri, she did do some small tricks, but she didn't realize that Ryosuke already knew about it.

But she still looked Ryosuke in the eye and said confidently, "Humph, how can these two things be the same! Just listen to me this time."

After saying that, she nodded repeatedly to herself, and the bow on her red headband kept flapping its wings, as if it was coming to life.

Ryosuke found it a little funny when he saw the golden-haired loli pretending to be magnanimous but actually looking regretful.

He said softly to the loli beside him: "Don't worry, Fairy Teacher, I already have some ideas."

The Yamada Fairy frowned her beautiful eyebrows and muttered, "Eh? If it means sacrificing your new book, I won't agree. You and Hashima are in a more difficult financial situation than I am."

Hearing her words, Ryosuke was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

The reason why he was willing to help Yamada Fairy was not because she was so pitiful.

Compared to Nishimiya Glass, the fairy has a much smoother life.

However, Ryosuke Hiratsuka was very happy to lend a helping hand to this kind-hearted girl who was considerate of others and was both his teacher and friend.

"Of course it's not what you think." He shook his head, then changed the subject and continued in a firm tone, "Let's go to the bookstore first. Leave everything to me."

Ryosuke has a bold idea.

That is to make some changes to the existing recommendation positions in bookstores.

Any change to the original rules will inevitably involve the interests of multiple parties.

This is not a trivial matter. Before doing so, we must conduct field research and come up with a highly feasible plan.

The light turned green and Ryosuke stepped onto the sidewalk.

The Yamada fairy stood there in a daze.

Because the expression and tone in which Ryosuke said that were exactly like what her father often said to her mother.

When she was a child, she saw how happy her parents were and longed to choose a reliable person to marry in the future.

Come to think of it, having known Ryosuke for such a long time, he seems to be quite reliable, which is really reassuring.

The fairy quickly came to his senses, threw these strange thoughts out of his mind, and hurriedly trotted after him.

……

A bookstore under the Fuzugawa Bunko umbrella.

Scattered readers were walking in the aisles between the bookshelves.

The same is true for Hiratsuka Ryosuke and Yamada Fairy.

After observation, Ryosuke found that the arrangement of recommended seats in this bookstore was extremely reasonable.

Books on different subjects are divided into different areas.

The large bookshelf at the entrance is filled with best-selling books that are trend-setting.

The small bookshelf at the back contains new books by new authors.

There are also some old books on sale near the counter.

It not only guarantees the income from popular books, but also gives readers the right to find new books by themselves, while also clearing out the inventory of old books.

For every bookstore that has been in business for many years, there is a certain rationality in its recommendation arrangements.

It seems that it is difficult to make changes.

The company is not a place that only looks at dreams. If you want to make changes to the existing recommendation positions, you must consider the improvement of actual benefits before discussing such things with the company.

When Ryosuke was deep in thought, he caught a glimpse of a girl out of the corner of his eye.

She stood in front of the bleakest bookshelf, stood on tiptoe and stretched her arms, trying to reach the book on the top shelf.

Ryosuke took the initiative to walk to her side, took the book on the highest point and handed it to her.

"Thank you, eh? Hiratsuka-kun." The girl thanked politely after receiving help.

When she turned her head, a hint of surprise appeared in her originally calm eyes.

"Long time no see, Kato." Ryosuke responded with a faint smile.

"Ryosuke, is he your friend?" Yamada Fairy came to Ryosuke and asked in a low voice.

She was a little confused when she saw Ryosuke leave suddenly just now.

It wasn't until she walked over here that she realized Ryosuke was talking to a strange girl.

A big question mark appeared in Yamada Fairy's little head: When did this girl appear?

She was with Ryosuke just now, but she didn't notice the girl at all. It's so strange.

Ryosuke introduced the two to each other, and then he asked: "Kato, don't you already have this old book?"

The book that Kato Megumi stood on tiptoe to get was the first volume of "Sword", which was published last year.

As far as Ryosuke remembers, he was the one who gave the last book to the other party on the day of the first release.

Kato Megumi replied calmly, "Because my cousin came to my house and saw the later volumes of "Swordsman", she was very interested in the previous content, so I wanted to buy a set for her, but it's hard to find such old books."

Ryosuke looked up and found that in this deserted corner, the bookshelves were filled with some outdated old books.

All commercial works have a life cycle.

No matter how successful a commercial novel is, there will come a day when it stops selling.

Even if his works sell well when they are first released, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people will buy them, and he will have to sell them at a discount to clear his inventory.

The library is taking advantage of the popularity of the animation to publish a new book, and is also planning to make another profit.

Because animation is a large-scale recommendation advertisement, there will always be people who will make up for the original work, and the sales of the work will also increase.

When he looked at the expressionless girl in front of him and was about to say something else.

What Kato Megumi had just said suddenly echoed in his mind.

There are three main reasons why an author writes a book: one is fame, two is profit, and three is to express himself.

It is even simpler for a publishing house to sell books. No matter how fancy the words are, they cannot hide the fact that a publishing house is a company and its sole purpose is to make a profit.

As long as the common interests of both parties are consistent, the other party will naturally compromise.

The common interest of both is the readers who come to consume.

Highly popular authors have old works that need to be cleared out of inventory, and many authors’ popularity will gradually decline as they stop writing.

New readers will also read older books if they find the latest works interesting.

If we can maintain the fame of best-selling authors and make new authors yearn for this position, and at the same time drive sales of old books in stock through new books, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?

Kato Megumi's originally casual words made Hiratsuka Ryosuke, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly enlightened.

His originally slightly anxious heart now felt somewhat relieved as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had been shining.

Ryosuke looked at Yamada Fairy and said in a very serious tone, "Teacher Fairy, your work should be available before the spring break. We will go to your house right away."

Yamada Fairy looked confused. How come Ryosuke, who was frowning a few minutes ago, suddenly looked different? What happened just now?

Then he took the fairy's white and tender little hands and quickened his pace, intending to leave the bookstore.

Ryosuke suddenly realized that Kato Megumi was still here, so he suppressed his inner joy, turned around and thanked Kato Megumi solemnly, "Kato, I'll take my leave first. It's my greatest luck to meet you in the bookstore today."

Kato Megumi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She held the book in both hands, using the book to cover the lower half of her face, leaving only a pair of beautiful eyes exposed.
