Welcome to the world of strength supremacy

You clearly know what I'm thinking.

Although it was Machida Enko's personal idea to bring Igarashi to Tokyo, the editor-in-chief would also feel embarrassed if she did not discuss business matters at all. After flirting with Igarashi like a couple for a long time, Machida finally remembered He made excuses for Igarashi to come.

It is imperative to reprint Sword Art Online. Bunko has already transferred the royalties for the 30,000 copies sold so far to your bank card. In addition, I took the initiative to let your Sword Art Online participate in the Bunko Light Novel Awards. Do you mind?

The first volume of Sword Art Online is priced at 600 yen by Fantastic Bunko. For every copy sold, Igarashi can receive 10% of the price. In just one day, Igarashi's bank card will be worth millions of yen. Although This amount of money is not that much in Tokyo, but Igarashi can do many things without having to worry about money.

Light Novel Award? Do you need me to do anything?

Machida Enzi looked at Igarashi who lacked interest and was a little amused. The Light Novel Award is a large-scale competition held once a year by Fantastic Bunko. Many of its light novelists are eager for it, but they are not even qualified to be shortlisted. Five Shilan even acted like he was about to quit if there were too many things to do.

No need, just wait and get the prize.

Although the results of the Light Novel Awards have not yet come out, Machida Enko knows that the first place has undoubtedly been won by Sword Art Online. With sales of 30,000 a day, Igarashi has created the myth of a new light novelist. Currently, Fantastic Although Bunko does have many other excellent works, compared with Sword Art Online, there is still a big gap.

Looking at Machida Enko's meaningful look, Igarashi smelled a conspiracy and stared at Machida Enko's smiling eyes.

What will happen if I win the prize?

Originally, Machida Enko wanted to tell Igarashi at the last moment to see his surprised look, but now that he asked him, Machida Enko no longer concealed it.

The first place will receive a bonus of 500,000 yen and the qualification to be animated. However, even if Sword Art Online does not win first place, judging from the current sales volume, it is destined to be animated.

The animation of light novels is a symbol of excellent performance. Bunko makes light novels into animations. In most cases, it is an investment. They do not expect to obtain monetary gains through animation, but hope that after the animation, the sales of light novels can increase again. Improvement, but among the dozens or hundreds of anime produced every year, there are still a few that have achieved profitability. With just one, the library can make up for all the expenses.

If Sword Art Online is animated, Igarashi, as its author, must review the plot and character settings. Having great power also requires a lot of time, but this can in disguise improve Igarashi’s spirit of conquering people. Igarashi is willing to bear the possibility and the time consumption caused by this.

Okay, I understand.

Seeing Igarashi, who was uncharacteristically diligent, Machida Enzi opened her mouth slightly.

Don't you find it troublesome?

Tsk, in your impression, what kind of person am I?

Although Igarashi doesn't like all kinds of trivial matters, he can concentrate on cooking for Eiriri and Machida Enko, or he can spend a lot of time and energy writing Sword Art Online for experience points. When it comes to really important things, Igarashi has never Not a person who is afraid of trouble.

I didn't expect that in your eyes, I am such a person.

There is nothing more sad than heartbreaking, which is what Igarashi is like now. Although Machida Enzi knew that this guy was pretending again, he was still a little apologetic. Although he had good intentions, she finally let Sword Art Online participate in the light novel competition without his consent. reward.

Sorry.

The editor-in-chief, who always exudes a strong temperament and can be called a strong woman in the workplace, acts coquettishly in front of her. This contrast of cuteness successfully conquered Igarashi.

No need to apologize. I'm not opposed to animation in the first place, not to mention that you also have such a tendency.

The two of them had been sitting in this restaurant for a long time and had already finished their food. Machida Enko was a little embarrassed to continue chatting with Igarashi in the private room. This feeling of two people being alone in an almost closed space, For her who has been single for as long as her age, it is still a high-end operation and cannot be controlled.

Uh...shall I take you around Tokyo again?

Today is Saturday, and there are more people in Tokyo than on weekdays. If two people go shopping, it will be almost like a crowd. What’s more, Igarashi doesn’t know anything about Tokyo, and Machida Enko doesn’t seem to be Vacation.

It seems that you are still working today. If the staff of the library see you dating someone, I feel that the majestic image of the editor-in-chief will be reduced a lot, Yuanzi.

Igarashi's words made Machida Enko's pretty face blush more and more. When Igarashi finally called out such an intimate name again, Machida Enko finally couldn't suppress her shame and had to use complaints to cover up her mood.

It's not because of you! Although I had to work today, I didn't have much to do. However, because of Sword Art Online, my workload has increased a lot recently, and this time I went out to eat with you, so there are a lot of things backlogged.

Igarashi looked at Machida Enko who didn't object to his calling her Eonko, and didn't struggle with the word date, and smiled playfully.

If you're tired, I'll take care of you.

Well

In many Neon families, men are the head of the house and the women are the housewives. The men are responsible for working outside to support the family, while the women are the housewives. Igarashi’s words were tantamount to a confession, which made Machida Enzi feel a little moved. Editor-in-law is not a workaholic. It's just that when someone she likes doesn't show up, she will be ups and downs in the workplace. Staying at home and doing what she likes is perfect for Machida Enko.

Wow, what are you thinking about?

Machida Enzi shook her head violently. Igarashi was just a high school student and she was already an adult. How could she imagine letting him support her? Ah, no, no, we are clearly not a couple yet.

Although her attitude towards Igarashi was no different from that of a boyfriend and girlfriend, Machida Enko was still deceiving herself. Machida Enko cruelly refused Igarashi's proposal.

Write your Sword Art Online well. These things are not something you, a high school student, should think about. I'm going to work first. Bye.

Chapter 121 Happy Life

Machida Enko has left. Although Tokyo is prosperous, Igarashi does not miss it and returns directly to his home in Chiba City.

Sword Art Online is so well written, come on, Yamabuki-sensei!

Hey, it would be great if there was a game like this in reality. Of course, the setting that if you die in the game you will actually die will be removed.

You are not really in love upstairs. If reality really exists, even if it is a death game, I will never look back!

If you really dare to do this upstairs, I will live stream**.

What is **? The website also has the function of harmony.

…

Originally, everyone commented on Fantastic Bunko. When Sword Art Online was released and Igarashi’s personal website as the author of Sword Art Online was opened, almost everyone went to Igarashi’s website to leave comments, although there would be a few comments with skewed topics from time to time. , but everyone who left a message expressed their love for the light novel Sword Art Online.

Thinking of Machida Enko's previous complaints about herself, Igarashi, who originally wanted to close the webpage directly, tapped on the keyboard and sent out the first message in the two days since the website was established.

Hello everyone, my name is Yamabuki, thank you for your support.

Many people asked questions in the comments, some about Sword Art Online, and some about Igarashi as the author. Although the sales volume of Sword Art Online is not in the tens of thousands, it is still in the thousands. If Igarashi is one It would take too much time to answer, so I might as well treat them all equally and not answer any of them.

It's a pity that the system indicates that the experience will only be calculated when you are about to leave the world at the end. Otherwise, Igarashi should have received a prompt to gain experience. Sword Art Online itself is very attractive, and Igarashi has the blessing of the prototype of the law. Even if It's only been less than two days since the official release, so the results should be obvious.

Not long after I sent the message, Igarashi saw a lot of replies at the bottom of the message. They said hello, said they were lucky, and posted jokes. These people stayed in front of the computer or holding their mobile phones on weekends, waiting for their web pages to be updated. ? Igarashi strongly condemned these seemingly idle and panicked guys.

Although he is in a more casual everyday world, Igarashi not only has to find a balance among many girls to prevent the emergence of a real Shura field, but also crazily codes for experience. Unlike them, he does not have as much time to surf the Internet.

If I go to a battle-themed world in the future, Igarashi may even lose his peaceful days. How can I not cherish the time now!

Well, give yourself a break.

Igarashi, who originally planned to complete the third volume of Sword Art Online, simply picked up a beautifully packaged galgame in the house and put the disc into the computer optical drive. After that, he would also make a galgame. Now he needs to go through it first. After gaining experience in galgames produced by other companies, Igarashi successfully found an excuse for himself to be lazy.

Then Igarashi was educated.

Facing a strong female character, Igarashi chose the same strong option based on his own personality, which directly reduced the other person's favorability. What the hell? Is this treating yourself like a weakling? Sometimes there are even no options, and the male protagonist behaves as if he has zero emotional intelligence.

Looking back on my own experience, even if there are indeed stronger girls, they don't seem to show it clearly when facing me. Although Kasumigaoka Shiyu looks full of temptation when getting along with herself, she is actually fifty years old. Lan was sure that the girl was a little shy. As the editor-in-chief, Machida Enko was naturally a strong person, but she was no longer strong in front of Igarashi.

Igarashi doesn't know whether it's because the game is different from reality or because the person who made the love game has never been in love, or because he is more attractive than the male protagonist in the game. This galgame really makes Igarashi uninterested.
