How to Develop a Sick Brother Control

"The original work of "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" was actually written by a high school student. I don't know if it is the teacher Aragaki."

It means that this topic has been hyped to a high point in a short period of time.

As a well-capitalized publishing house, the mobilization of Fantastic Library's promotional resources is quite scary. Among the pre-sale rankings of major bookstores, the most

"Aragakiwa"

The first volume of "I Have Few Friends" by Kazuya with this somewhat neutral name as a pseudonym quickly rose to the second place on the list from the previous one, which was not able to enter the ranking list, which is close to the number one Kasumi The second volume of "The Streets of That City" by Teacher Shizi.

This sudden situation made the Mystery Library completely unprepared. If it wasn't for the fact that everyone in the library didn't pay much attention to him before the interview, Kazuya would simply feel that this time the propaganda war, It should be a beautiful embodiment of the tactics of the fantastic library.

However, even if this is just a chance that Fantastic Library has seized, this matter is only good for me and not harmful, and I will not be so entangled in the change of the attitude of Fantastic Library before and after—the industry itself is such a cruel The place.

That is to say, under such circumstances, the novels of Kazuya and Shiwa ushered in the release day on the same day.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Even if Kazuya's "You Shao" rushed to the second place in the pre-sale list as a dark horse in the week before the release, but the dark horse is only a dark horse after all, and it may be able to gain higher attention by becoming a topic of the moment, but it is still Compared with Xia Shizi, who is already a famous writer, this kind of attention comes and goes quickly. At least, on the day of release, all topics have been signed for the first time after being transferred to the mystery library. Shi Yu was snatched away.

Outside the exclusive bookstore under Mystery Bunko in Hehe City, Kazuya stared blankly at the long line of people, a little dazed, although he was not surprised by the high popularity of Shiyu's book signing event, but now When he and the opponent are competitors, Kazuya still has mixed feelings when he sees such a long line.

"What's the matter, Aragaki-san, why don't you go in and line up?

I saw before that Ai-san had already signed a book signed by Kasumigaoka-san! "

A voice that was also somewhat unexpected to Ryohe came over. Kato, who was dressed in a small pink padded jacket and wore a pink earmuff on his head, was standing behind him with a pink and tender color all over his body.

"Kato?

Did you even come here? "

He also blinked his eyes in surprise. After all, although it is not too early now, it would be a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing to rush to Hehe City to participate in Shiyu's book signing. For diehard fans, it is not worthwhile to come to the book sale specially.

"Well, I have a lot of time today. Even if you don't come to Kasumigaoka-senpai's book sale, wouldn't it be nice to simply visit Hehe City?"

Kato said noncommittally,

"However, Aragaki-san, you're sure it's okay if you don't go to the queue now, this time you are more than one place behind An Yi."

"I didn't expect to be as persistent as that guy in this area," he said.

Kazuya stretched his waist and said,

"Besides, I just came here to check on the situation. It's still too embarrassing for me to see Shiyu-senpai now."

"That's right, you are competitors after all now."

"How should I put it, in fact, competitors are secondary, the point is, now that I have reached this point with Shiyu-senpai, I feel like I don't know how to address each other anymore.

If I were to call Senior Sister under normal circumstances, I feel that I really can't say it, but I can't think of what name I should use to address the other party. It would be better not to meet each other. "

Kazuya sighed, his eyes became more melancholy, and he said helplessly.

"Sorry, Aragaki-san, it was my suggestion."

Kato also lowered his head apologetically in a rare way.

"In the end Kato's suggestion was just a suggestion, right?

I also did this after deliberation, so there is no need to apologize. Having said that, Ying Lili, have you talked to her recently? "

Kato also looked at Kato, who was a little sad, and stopped the other party from blaming himself. At the same time, he asked a question that he had been thinking about.

Eriri’s expression in front of ordinary classmates must still be that proud school princess. Even if she quarreled with herself, she would definitely just say it’s okay, but if it was Kato, she might not be able to get along with Eiri She talked too much, but what she saw, or what she could feel, should be Ying Lili's true mood.

"As far as my contact with Yinglili is concerned,"

Kato frowned and replied,

"It doesn't feel like she's in a bad mood, does she?

Or, she doesn't seem to worry about you at all? "

"Is that right?"

Kazuya's heart sank a little. No matter whether the mood of Eirari that Kato felt was real or false, it was not good news for him. Maybe the weight of her is lighter than I imagined, so my forbearance during this period of time may be counterproductive-Ying Lili may think that she really does not value her and puts herself down even more, but Kazuya does not matter anyway. I don't want to believe that this is Ying Lili's reaction to herself.

Therefore, the greater possibility should be the latter situation, that is, even in front of Kato, Eriri is unwilling to show her true feelings, which is really too bad.

"But maybe I misunderstood, right?

Aragaki-san should look in a better direction. If the result this time is good, then all the problems can be solved, right? "

Looking at Kazuya who looked a little unhappy, Kato comforted him.

Kato also found that in the recent period, the dialogue with Kato has been in this mode. I ask for help, Kato helps, I feel depressed, and Kato comforts me. boring things then kato

"tease"

Kind of

"normal"

The way of getting along with each other has gradually disappeared with the passage of time, which has to make Kazuya truly realize that many behaviors that he is familiar with and is accustomed to are slowly changing.

"I hope so?"

Vaguely, Kazuya noticed a small change in Kato's temperament, but he didn't know where that change was reflected, so he finally gave up looking for the change in Kato's body. He just responded well to her words.

"By the way, Aragaki-san, don't you care about the sales of your own novel?

Generally speaking, first-time writers hide outside bookstores secretly, and calculate the popularity of their books based on the percentage of books purchased by readers in a certain bookstore. Isn’t this a common practice? ? "

"Where did this wonderful practice come from!

Don't move the settings in the comics to reality, okay?

If you keep staring at the exit of a bookstore in reality, you will soon be taken away by the police for interrogation in the name of a suspicious person, right? "

"It seems to make sense!

So how should writers know their own sales in reality? "

Kato blinked and asked.

"Of course it's up to the publisher and the editor to inform you, right?

It should be said that this is the correct way for most authors to know the sales volume, isn't it? "

"It makes sense to say so,"

Kato nodded,

"But, Aragaki-san, haven't you longed for the behavior of staying outside the bookstore to do this kind of statistics?

You must know that such a characteristic behavior can only be done when you are a new author, right? "

"You guy, do you have to pull me to do such a shameful thing?"

"I just think Aragaki-san can experience these things."

"So, you bastard—"

Kazuya looked at the unusually stubborn Kato, and was about to complain, but, looking at Kato's many blank eyes, he seemed to suddenly understand something.

This guy, couldn't it be that he came up with such a nonsensical idea just to pull me out of the complicated mood I'm in right now?

If this is not the case, it will be difficult to explain what Kato's current abnormal behavior is for.

"Hey, you bastard,"

Kazuya, who understood Kato's painstaking efforts, uttered complaints, and finally turned into a somewhat weak argument,

"Don't you think about going to Shiyu-senpai's autograph session?"

"I've already pre-ordered Kasumigaoka-senpai's new book. Anyway, I know Kasumigaoka-senpai privately, so if I have to sign it, I can ask her later, can I?"

"Then what's the point of you making a special trip to attend the book signing event? Why don't you just say that you came to Hehe City for sightseeing?"

Kazuya suppressed his desire to complain, and nodded to Kato's proposal to express his tacit approval:

"Forget it, anyway, I don't know what to do, I can't keep counting Shiyu-senpai's team, can I?

Just go with you! "

"It's me who counts with you as a writer, not you who counts with me."

Kato corrected solemnly.

"Okay, it's all up to you."

---------------------------Dividing line--------------------- ---------30 minutes later, Kazuya and Kato looked at each other at the entrance of the light novel comprehensive bookstore in Wahe City, showing an embarrassed expression.

“It’s no longer a matter of how many books everyone bought and what percentage of them were my books,”

Kazuya looked sadly at the people coming in and out of the bookstore,

"If everyone puts what they bought in a bag, how are we supposed to know what they bought.

You can't go to the cash register and watch, right?

If you do this, you will really be arrested by the police and drink tea. "

"And generally speaking, every person who comes to a bookstore to buy books must buy more than one book. Even if it can be judged that a specific customer has bought Aragaki-san's novels, if you don't know how many books he bought, Then the statistic is still meaningless."

Kato added.

"So the conclusion is that the two of us stared at the door of the store for half an hour at the risk of being regarded as suspicious by the police. This period of time is meaningless, isn't it?"

Kazuya shrugged helplessly.

"But this is a bit strange, I think those people in the comics are very comfortable doing this?

Don't those people who create comics draw such irresponsible plots without personal experience? "

"It's not like that, is it?

Non-experientialists like me should still be in the minority. "

"I feel like Aragaki-san showed off in some strange places!"

"I'm just stating a fact."

"However, if you accept the fact that Mr. Aragaki said, then do you know where the problem is?"

"I don't know—er,"
