Kasumigaoka Shiyu woke up from the bed and turned to look at the alarm clock beside the bed. It was only six o'clock!
Think about the time I went to bed last night, it was four in the morning. In other words, I woke up after only two hours of sleep.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu knew that she woke up nervously.
Today is Sunday, a week has passed since Yan Kai's birthday, and this day is a day of special significance to Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
The third volume of "Metronome of Love" has been released on Wednesday this week. According to Fusugawa Publishing House, Shiyu Kasumigaoka will hold a book signing in the name of "Shiko Kasumigaoka" to coincide with "Metronome of Love". 》The release of the third volume.
Kasumigaoka Shiu was originally unwilling to hold any autograph session, because she knew very well the plans of Fusukawa Publishing House. The so-called "auto autograph session" was nothing more than trying to use her outstanding appearance as a selling point to label herself. Labels such as "genius beautiful girl writer" will increase your popularity and sell a few more copies of the third volume. If the response is good, it is very possible to reprint the first and second volumes. As an author Kasumigaoka Shiyu can also receive another generous royalty.
But this goes against Kasumigaoka Shiyu's wishes.
What she wants to be in the future is not to be a famous light novel writer. Her goal is to become a well-known writer in Japan and win literary awards such as the Akutagawa Prize and the Naoki Prize. Light novels are just her springboard. It is used to practice and accumulate experience. I still want to move towards traditional literature in the future.
But the publishing house doesn't think so. Their idea is very simple. Since "Kasumi Shiko" has already made achievements in light novels, then she can become a light novel writer in the future. Anyway, it's easy to make money as a otaku. Traditional literature has long been a sea of blood, and many talented writers have jumped into it without even making a splash. Now the name "Xia Shizi" has begun to make money. Of course, it must make more money for the publishing house. Money matters, so I plan to promote Shiyu Kasumigaoka as a "genius beautiful girl writer".
Kasumigaoka Shiha deliberately refused, but for a new writer like her, the authority of the publishing house is unshakable. Even if her editor-in-chief Machida Enoko helped Kasumigaoka Shiha negotiate the deal, the higher-ups of the publishing house had already decided to go back. No matter what, Kasumigaoka Shiu only has her full cooperation. When will it be her turn to ask the publishing house for this and that? Does she think she is a great writer like Kudo Yusaku and Xue Wenhai?
So even though Kasumigaoka Shiyu was unwilling, with the help of the publishing house, Kasumigaoka Shiyu finally agreed to hold a book signing for the third volume of "Metronome of Love" on this Sunday, that is, today.
It was obvious that the interests had been weighed, but when the day came, Kasumigaoka Shiyu became worried again.
Now, she has nothing to regret and can only face it head-on. However, the thought of facing her book fans as "Xia Shizi"...it feels so shameful!
Subconsciously, Kasumigaoka Shiyu picked up her phone and sent a message to someone using line.
…………………………
"So, because you were nervous, you pulled me in to embolden you?"
Yan Kai looked helplessly at Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who had been bombarding him with a bunch of line messages at six o'clock.
"Nonsense, I will be nervous? Are you kidding? Who do you think you are facing! I am Kasumigaoka Shiu! I am destined to become the queen of Japanese literature in the future! You actually said that I will be nervous? Stop joking!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said loudly and forcefully, but the loudness of her voice showed how guilty she was.
"I'm just worried about being in danger at the book signing! As far as I know, there are many precedents in Japan for well-known writers getting into trouble with fans at book signings and causing accidents! Especially for me For such a beautiful girl, the possibility of encountering danger is greatly increased. Although you are not a very good person, you still have some brute strength. You can barely be my flower protector, so I called you. Help, please don’t have any weird misunderstandings!”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said louder.
"You're not so famous, right..."
Yan Kai said speechlessly.
This puts a gilt on his face. Those who don't know it think that "Xia Shizi" is some famous literary giant.
"Hey, do you know what group of people I have the most book fans from? They are dead nerds! Who knows what those dead nerds can do! I'm very dangerous!"
Kasumigaoka Shiha mercilessly belittles her largest group of book fans.
Good guy, you even scolded yourself, right...
Yan Kai looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu in shock.
Others don't know it, but Yan Kai knows it very well. Kasumigaoka Shiyu's laptop contains a lot of house belongings, and there are also browsing records.
Of course, Kasumigaoka Shiu emphasized that those are just reference materials and are definitely not her own hobbies!
In this regard, Yan Kai gave her some face and stopped exposing her.
"Anyway, you stand right behind me, and when the time comes you see who has the intention to attack me and subdue them. Do you understand?"
Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu was afraid that Yan Kai would continue talking, so he quickly ordered.
Yan Kai thought for a moment, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was sitting in her seat, but he was standing behind her like a fool... He didn't want to do it!
"I'll sit next to you. Believe me, even this distance is enough for me to protect you."
Yan Kai pointed to a rest chair next to Kasumigaoka Shiyu's autograph signing.
The autograph session was held in a newly opened super mall. Fusugawa Publishing House took advantage of the popularity of the newly opened super mall, and the super mall also attracted a large number of people who would not have come to their mall because of Kasumigaoka Shiu's autograph session. "Xia Shizi" book fans, and there is also venue fee to buy it, it's a win-win.
It's a pity that "Xia Shizi" is not famous enough now. If a really well-known writer holds a book signing, the supermarket will be very happy to pay for it.
However, as a new author with only one work, it is already very impressive to be able to hold a book signing, so Kasumigaoka Shiyu does not ask for a bicycle.
The book signing went very smoothly. After all, Fusugawa Publishing House is one of the largest publishing houses in Japan. It has very rich experience in this area and all the arrangements were very thoughtful. Machida Enko, the editor-in-chief of Kasumigaoka Shiu, and The relationship between Kasumigaoka Shiu and Kasumigaoka Shiu is not just that of a writer and an editor. There is a very deep personal friendship. For Kasumigaoka Shiu, she is a very considerate big sister. Although she is an older single woman, for Machida Enko It is said that Kasumigaoka Shiyu is also a very cute sister, although she is a arrogant and vicious person.
hehe.
Although Kasumigaoka Shiha said that the largest part of her book fan base is otaku, in fact, the majority of those who come to Kasumigaoka Shiha to sign the third volume of the newly released "Love Metronome" are actually girls, especially girls. A little girl with blond hair and heterochromatic eyes, although she looked very scared, she still walked towards Kasumigaoka Shiu with the encouragement of her brother. After getting the signature of "Kasumigaoka Shiu", she jumped with joy. , finally smiled and left hand in hand with her brother.
This made Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was originally a little resistant to the autograph session, a little happy.
She had confused the autograph session with the idol's handshake party before. The people who only went to the idol's handshake party were all geeks, and those geeks all went there for the idols they were interested in, but the autograph session Differently, the people who come to the book signing are all people who like the work "Metronome of Love". They are curious about what kind of person "Kasumi Shiko" is, but it does not mean that they like or hate "Metronome of Love". The ultimate factor in Metronome.
To put it bluntly, "Kasumi Shiko" only has one novel under her name, "Metronome of Love", and has not yet formed an "author effect". Readers are unlikely to buy her works specifically because of her.
When he was in a good mood, at the book signing table, a young man who could only be considered handsome, carrying a backpack and a pair of thick-rimmed glasses on his face, walked up to Kasumigaoka Shiu.
Perhaps because of the familiar-looking thick-rimmed glasses, Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked a little pleased with the dull-looking young man in front of her: "How should I write it?"
For the sake of these thick-rimmed glasses, I’ll give you some “kill it”!
Originally, when signing autographs for ordinary people, they would write some fixed words and give some blessings in the name of "Kasumigaoka Shiko", but this time Kasumigaoka Shiyu planned to let the boy with glasses say what to write.
"Teacher Kasumi Shiko!"
The young man looked dull and couldn't hold back a fart after being hit with three sticks. He looked like a good candidate for being bullied at school. When facing Kasumigaoka Shiyu, he suddenly shouted loudly and excitedly.
"Thank you very much! Thank you very much for saving Bai Feifei!"
The young man bowed heavily to Kasumigaoka Shiyu, and even knocked his head on the table at the autograph session, making a sound that hurt everyone around him.
"Excuse me, is this..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu's face looked a little ugly, what is this and what...
"As a 'Feifei Party', although we didn't get to see Bai Feifei and Shen Lang get together in the end, nor did she get to be with Song Li, she was able to have a child with Shen Lang in the end. This is already our 'Feifei Party' 'The greatest victory!"
The young man ignored the strange expressions of others around him and continued to speak as if no one else was around.
As he was talking, Kasumigaoka Shiyu finally understood what this young man meant, and looked at Yan Kai, who was sitting not far away, with somewhat annoyed eyes.
"Martial Arts" was finally finished some time ago. When Yan Kai had just finished drawing the ending for Kasumigaoka Shiu and Busujima Saeko to read, the two of them picked up a knife and put it on Yan Kai's neck without saying a word.
Busujima Saeko used her "Muru", while Kasumigaoka Shiu used the red-eyed "Murasame". Two famous swords with blowing hair and broken hair were placed on the neck, one of which had a tempered blood seal on it. The poison in the throat makes even Yan Kai a little scared.
Well, actually the resentment between Kasumigaoka Shiu and Busujima Saeko is more scary.
As for why, it may be because Yan Kai killed two popular characters, Bai Feifei and Wang Lianhua, in the final episode of "The History of the Martial Arts".
There is no way, Yan Kai can only temporarily change the ending, so that Bai Feifei and Wang Lianhua, who were obsessed with revenge even in the end, finally let go of their hatred after going through life and death, and Wang Lianhua returned the "Three Heavenly Styles" that he secretly learned. He gave it to Shen Lang, and compiled what he had learned into a strange book, "Lian Hua Bao Jian", intending to give it to a destined person.
As for Bai Feifei, Bai Feifei did not end up with Song Li, who had always been infatuated with her, because she knew that her feelings for Song Li were owed and guilty, but not love. She was always in love with Shen Lang, and she would always be with him in this life. Living in deception, she didn't want to spend the rest of her life deceiving someone who was so kind to her, so she chose to leave alone.
Well, before leaving, she once again used Shen Lang's complicated feelings for her to plot against Shen Lang and kill him.
The final ending of the story is that a year later, Shen Lang and Zhu Qiqi held a unique wedding, which was blessed by the entire world. On the way Shen Lang rode a white horse to welcome the bride, a woman in white hugged a The several-month-old baby silently looked at Shen Lang, who was wearing bright clothes and an angry horse, and then left silently.
Although this ending is not perfect, it is much better than the original ending where both Bai Feifei and Wang Lianhua died.
Of course, Yan Kai was willing to change the ending for Kasumigaoka Shiu and Busujima Saeko, not because there were two knives on their necks, but because Kasumigaoka Shiu and Busujima Saeko used the "death-free gold medal" that Yan Kai promised them before.
When Yan Kai was painting "Sword Roaring Jianghu", he painted the heroine Mochou to death. This caused great anger between Kasumigaoka Shiu and Busujima Saeko, especially Busujima Saeko. Mochou was based on her. Yes, she put a lot of emotion into the role of Mochou, but Yan Kai painted her to death. Even if Busujima Saeko had always been tolerant to Yan Kai, she was really angry at that time.
But in the end, in order to calm the anger of the two of them, Yan Kai promised each of them a "death-free gold medal." This "death-free gold medal" cannot avoid the death of people in real life, but it can be used to save the characters in Yan Kai's comics. In the finale of "Martial Arts", Shiyu Kasumigaoka and Saeko Busujima chose to save Bai Feifei and Wang Lianhua without hesitation.
After all, even the real source of all evil, the Happy King, can live clean until the end. Why do these two miserable people whose lives were ruined because of the Happy King have to die? Especially Bai Feifei. In the end, Happy King and Shen Lang revealed that Bai Feifei was not even Bai Jing's daughter. She was picked up by Bai Jing and had no blood relationship with Bai Jing or Happy King. However, she ended up suffering for hatred that did not belong to her. Life is like a joke.
Although Bai Feifei was vicious sometimes, Kasumigaoka Shiyu still couldn't bear her to die like this, so she used the "gold medal to avoid death" to save Bai Feifei. But Busujima Saeko also regretted Wang Lianhua's ending and used the "gold medal to avoid death" to save Bai Feifei. Wang Lianhua died.
Originally, it was over, but since the originally planned ending was rewritten, Yan Kai seemed to feel very regretful, so he briefly introduced the original ending in text, and then specifically explained that it was because of the teacher "Xia Shizi" and another person. With the insistence of a friend, he changed the ending to the one released now.
This made the "Feifei Party", one of the two largest groups in "Wulin Foreign History", very moved. They thanked teacher "Xia Shizi" for saving their lives and decided to give her the throne of the leader of the "Feifei Party". .
Of course, Kasumigaoka Shiyu doesn't want this "throne" at all.
After kowtowing, the young man with thick-rimmed glasses talked a lot about Bai Feifei's miserable life, Bai Feifei's tangled emotions, and other things that were missing. It turned into a promotional meeting for Bai Feifei. In the end, the staff on the side couldn't stand it any longer and took the young man down.
But even after being lifted up and dragged away by two tall staff members, the young man still kept talking about Bai Feifei.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at the boy who ruined her autograph session with cold eyes, and murmured coldly in her heart, dead house is so disgusting!
