King of Two-dimensional

[Kasumi Shiko: Shirogane-kun, there will be a working lunch at the autograph session... No need to prepare a special lunch for me. sorry to bother you. 】

[Last Silver: No trouble. The work meal shouldn’t be as sumptuous as what I cook, so please accept my small considerations. How could such a beautiful Miss Kasumi Shiko eat a work meal that only fills her stomach? Just think of it as preferential treatment for a beautiful girl. 】

Preferential treatment for beautiful girls?

"Editor Machida, have you disclosed my information to your seniors?"

Kasumigaoka Shiu looked at the sumptuous lunch box and suddenly asked Machida Enko who was eating a simple work meal at the side.

"what?"

Machida Enzi was eating seaweed rice balls and was looking at her with envy. She couldn't help but be startled when she heard this.

"Shi-chan, don't you know the relationship between light novel writers and editors? He usually avoids me before it's too late. How can he have so much contact with me?"

The editor lady shrugged and said honestly.

"I just recommended him to you to help you write light novels. I didn't disclose anything else...

After all, you are still in the greenhouse on campus and know too few people. It would be unfair to you if you approach someone intentionally with selfish motives. "

After a pause, Editor Machida shook his head and continued speaking gently.

Shirogane and Kasumigaoka both work under her. They happen to be close in age and have similar interests. They both have a certain interest in light novels. In Machida's eyes, they are a match made in heaven.

If fate arrives and good things happen, that's best. If not, then just be well.

She had no intention of deliberately favoring either of them. When it comes to love, it’s better not to mix it with too many other things.

If someone breaks up and cheats on her in the future, even if she doesn't blame Machida for the failure of this relationship, Machida Eonko, who worked hard to bring them together, will regret what she did.

The most she can do is like what she did just now, when she saw Shirogane Yuxing coming in, deliberately attracting Kasumigaoka Shiyu's attention, and casually creating space for the two of them.

The editor who hates getting married when she is young is extremely principled and has her own persistence in love.

Although I have never been in love so far, the elders in my family have been urging me to get married.

She doesn't even have a boyfriend, so how can she get married...

In short, it’s great to be young.

The editor lady poked the pickles with her chopsticks, looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu's bento, and then at her own, turning her grief and anger into appetite.

Damn it, I can’t change it.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu lowered her eyes, her burgundy eyes flickering. She and Baiyin Yuxing had never met before, and all their contacts were just literary exchanges between seniors and juniors on the Internet.

"Shirogane-kun is a very nice person..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu lowered her head and whispered.

"So, when you first met, you just signed a name, and then it was gone?" Editor Machida, who had never even been in love, said to the light novel writer with hatred.

"Two names, and a message."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu combed her long, silky hair. This was not a shameful thing, it was just a friendship between friends.

"What message? It's not like 'study hard and make progress every day', right?"

Machida Enko asked curiously.

"May we be able to raise our heads and see the moon on the streets full of sixpences."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's legs are crossed, forming a nice arc.

"Senior, he actually asked me to bless him with prosperity... How can he only see money? Shouldn't writing light novels be the way to gain everyone's love?"

"The famous book "The Moon and Sixpence"? The original sentence is 'On the street where sixpence was scattered all over the ground, he raised his head and saw the moon'?"

Machida Enoko can chat with Kasumigaoka Shiu, become an editor at the same time, and has a certain understanding of literature.

"The Moon and Sixpence", written by William Somerset Maugham of China, is considered a classic. Of course, the most common attribute of this kind of masterpiece is that it is boring to read.

Sixpence was the smallest unit of currency in the country at that time. The moon represented lofty ideals, and sixpence represented reality. The moon and sixpence are the contradiction between art and life.

"Ah."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu nodded and admitted.

She originally wanted to directly excerpt the sentence from the original work, "On the street where sixpence was everywhere, he looked up and saw the moon." But if this sentence was actually written, wouldn't it be ironic?

After hesitating for a moment, she changed the following sentence to "May we raise our heads and see the moon." She brought herself in and tried to keep the irony to a minimum. It was regarded as an exhortation to her predecessors and a request for herself.

She didn't have much pursuit of money, and she wrote "Metronome of Love" just for the sake of literary ideals. The fledgling Kasumigaoka Shiyu only has enthusiasm and the moon in the sky.

Even if the world is full of disturbances in the future, he can still stick to his ideals.

"Ideal..."

Editor Machida smacked his lips and showed a disappointed expression, "The author Maugham has one more sentence."

"He said a lot, which one were you talking about?"

"We try our best to live an ordinary life."

Editor Machida was silent for a while and said,

"Your light novel "Metronome of Love" is very thoughtful and the quality is very good. But so what? Fantastic Library does not have a recommendation place. The fresh and fresh youth love is destined not to cause much splash.

Other editors in the original library have already concluded that "Metronome of Love" does not need to be reprinted and will be cut in half within three or four volumes. Shijiang, is this your ideal? "

"Little Baiyin is much smarter than you. She sells blood and deceives people into cliques. In addition, there are new female characters appearing in each volume, and there are also illustrations by Teacher Eromanga..."

"Without his help, Shi-chan, there would probably be very few people coming to your autograph session."

"I know I shouldn't deny him, I just hope..."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyes fell on the lunch box, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ideal and reality are really terrible words.

"By the way, I suddenly thought of something very important." Editor Machida suddenly slapped his head.

"what?"

"When the great writer Natsume Soseki narrated the story of the male and female protagonists walking together under the moonlight, he seemed to have said that the tradition of our Sakura Country should be subtle and euphemistic, and that the boy's love should be hidden in beautiful things..."

"Do you hope to walk with him under the moonlight, and then one day he can say: The moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Is this how to express your love?"

Machida Enko said with a smile.

"I didn't expect that the editor aunt who is nearly [-] years old and no one wants her would actually read these kind of heart-wrenching stories. Isn't she still like a naive little girl, waiting for her Mr. Right? I now have serious doubts about my future under such an editor."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at her.

"Hey! Why is this like this! I'm only 29 years old, so I'm almost thirty years old! Shi-chan, how can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air!"

The editor lady opened her eyes wide and said distressedly.
