This evil god is wrong

She struggled to open her sore eyes, leaned on the edge of the bathtub, and replied in a daze, "I'm not asleep...I'll be out right away..."

After saying that, Kasumigaoka yawned and stood up from the bathtub.

She didn't even wipe her body, and she didn't put on a bath towel, so she dragged her wet naked body out.

"Crack--"

"Mom, I'm going to bed, call me when dinner is ready."

Opening the bathroom door, Kasumigaoka said something to the mother who was guarding the door in a daze, and then walked around her to her room.

"You child, you don't look like a lady at home." Mrs. Kasumigaoka scolded, then went to the bathroom to take out a bath towel, followed Kasumigaoka in two or three steps, and forcibly wiped the water droplets on her body.

Xia Zhiqiu, who stayed in place, let her mother fiddle with it, and occasionally raised her legs and hands to cooperate with her mother's work.

"Okay, go back to your room and sleep."

Not long after, Mrs. Kasumigaoka wrapped a dry towel around Kasumigaoka, patted her on the shoulder, and signaled that she could go.

"Ha~ Thank you, Mom." After Xia Zhiqiu yawned, he walked upstairs slowly.

Halfway through, Xia Zhiqiu suddenly remembered something, and turned around and asked, "Mom, have you accepted any drafts recently?"

Mrs. Xia Zhiqiu said casually: "Several side scripts for the new game of the rouge en rouge club."

"Oh..." Xia Zhiqiu responded, turned around and continued back to the room.

After walking two steps, Kasumigaoka blinked and turned around suddenly, "Huh?! Rouge en rouge?! That super popular fan club?! That club of Benizaka Akane?!"

"Huh? It's not proper to be surprised." Mrs. Xia Zhiqiu rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly: "Super popular club? No wonder the price is so high."

"..." Kasumigaoka, who was completely awake, looked at her mother with a complicated expression.

That's right, according to my mother's reputation, it's normal to receive an invitation from a super-popular club...

After all, even a serious game company will make an appointment with my mother...

"I'm going back to my room." Xia Zhiqiu turned around and dragged his body up the stairs feebly.

When can you surpass your mother?

Could her own Magic Circle do it?

"Crack--"

Xia Zhiqiu returned to the room and lay in a daze on the bed.

Although she is very confident in her "Magic Circle", everything is still unknown until the final sales volume appears...

......

At dusk, when the devil meets, the dinner at Xiazhiqiu's family begins.

"Why are you here?"

In the living room on the first floor, Kasumigaoka, who was sitting at the dining table, looked at Machida Enko across the street with vacant eyes.

"Ah~ I happened to come here just in time for dinner, so your mother invited me to eat with me." Machida Sonoko in a lady's uniform folded her hands on her chest and said with a smile.

"..." Xia Zhiqiu glanced at the mother with a gentle and generous smile, said nothing more, picked up the chopsticks and said in a low voice, "I'm starting."

Chapter 140 Eight

In Kasumigaoka's bedroom, Machida Sonoko was kneeling and sitting in front of the low table with a smile.

"Crack--"

Kasumigaoka, who was holding a tray with one hand, pushed the door in. She closed the door, then went to the low table and knelt down, and then took out the fruit platter, snacks and tea from the tray and put them on the table.

"Editor Machida, please use it." Kasumigaoka gracefully pushed the tea to Machida Sonoko.

"Oh~ oh~ Such a small poem looks like Yamato Nadeko." Sonoko Machida held up the tea and exclaimed pretendingly.

"..." Kasumigaoka rolled his eyes Machida Sonoko, unable to restrain Yamato Nadeko's dignified appearance any longer, his body collapsed, and asked casually while sitting sideways

"So, editor Machida, what is your purpose for coming to me today? I remember that I gave you the manuscript of the first volume at the beginning of the month, and you also clearly said that there is no need to revise it."

Machida Sonoko put down her teacup, casually took out a small piece of watermelon from the fruit platter, put it in her mouth, and said while eating, "Xiaoshi, your manuscript is fine, but what about the illustrations?"

She looked at Xia Zhiqiu, her eyebrows and eyes were tinged with danger, "Xiaoshi, I have called you many times these days, but you didn't answer once, so in desperation, I can only choose to come to you Come and ask about it."

"..." Xia Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows, took out his phone and checked the recent missed calls.

After falling into a creative frenzy in recent days, she never used her mobile phone at all, and turned a blind eye to all incoming calls and emails.

The only communication every day is Shenming Youge and mother.

Shenming Youge is on time every day, and he can't escape.

Mom is urging her to eat...

"Sorry, that's my problem."

After seeing more than 30 missed calls from editor Machida, Kasumigaoka put the phone on the table and bowed his head sincerely to apologize.

"Well~ I'm used to not being answered the phone." Editor Machida leaned forward and asked with a serious expression, "I want to ask now, what's the situation with the illustrator you contacted yourself? Is it all right?"

"It should be almost there, I'll ask her." Xia Zhiqiu picked up the phone, ready to contact Ying Lili again.

"Ding-dong--"

But before she took the initiative to contact, Ying Lili's email had already been sent over.

She opened the email to check.

[The illustration has been sent to your computer mailbox, are you satisfied with it?Not satisfied and not responsible for modification! ! ]----English pear

"Whoo~"

Kasumigaoka breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the text message from Eriri, and showed the information to Machida Sonoko with ease.

"No problem, the illustration is finished."

Machida Sonoko glanced at the email, her eyes flickered, as if she noticed something wrong, she asked with a strange look: "Xiao Shi, the illustrator you hired didn't communicate with you during the painting process, did he?"　　

Xia Zhiqiu put away the phone, and said confidently: "I have already discussed some details during the initial meeting, so there is no problem."

She believes that with Ying Lili's magnificent painting skills, it will be no problem to fulfill her request.

"Really?" Machida Sonoko asked suspiciously.

"There is no evidence for what you say, just look at the real thing." Kasumigaoka didn't explain any more, got up and turned on the computer, ready to let Machida Sonoko see how vicious her eyes really are.

Machida Sonoko followed Kasumigaoka to the computer. She stood behind Kasumigaoka, put her hands on Kasumigaoka's shoulders, and leaned forward slightly, allowing Kasumigaoka to bear part of her body weight.

Kasumigaoka: "Editor Machida, you are so heavy...can you come to the side?"

"Don't care about these details." Machida Sonoko's body leaning forward gradually increased, and at the same time asked with a smile: "By the way, Xiaoshi, who is the artist you hired?"

"Eri Kashiwagi."

"Eri Kashiwagi? I seem to have heard this name somewhere..." Sonoko Machida searched in her memory for where she saw this name.

Suddenly, an extremely astringent book cover flashed in her mind, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise

"Eri Kashiwagi, that insulting book artist?"

"Little poem!" Machida Sonoko supported Kasumigaoka's shoulders, and said with a serious expression: "Your work this time is a serious magical girl. Are you sure that it is okay to insult the artist of the book? I remember that there is no such thing in your outline." The tentacle bondage scene."

"No problem, she has made great progress. She is no longer the artist who used to be an insult book artist. Nuo, just take a look at her illustrations and you will understand."

Kasumigaoka logs into the mailbox, receives the illustrations from Eriri, and shows them to Sonoko Machida for viewing.

First of all, there is the colorful painting on the cover, the five-color team of "Magic Circle" plus the always cute "mascot" Chubby, and the background is the city under the sun.

The bright painting style makes people subconsciously classify it as a hopeful friendship story at first glance.

Kasumi Hill carefully scrutinized the cover illustration of Ying Lili, focusing mainly on the five-color team occupying the C position.

Tasting and savoring, Xia Zhiqiu found that something was wrong... Except for the protagonist Kame Madoka, why do the other four have an inexplicable astringency?

Ba Mami, an important supporting role in the first volume, has white and yellow costumes, which is not a problem.

But the knee-high black silk on the legs is unexpectedly astringent, and the luster and transparency are extremely attractive, always attracting people's eyes unconsciously.

Going up the black silk above the knee, the slender waist curve and the plump buttocks curve form a sharp contrast.

This point, shouldn't Ying Lili draw it based on her safe childbirth figure?

Although she told Ying Lili before that the image of Ba Mami can be referred to herself, but it is not a reference in this kind of place...

Continue to look up, there is nothing to say about the big breasts, and the pure white clothes on the chest perfectly support the beauty.

The last is the face. The Ba Mamei painted by Ying Lili looks like a lazy rich lady. With these charming eyes hidden in the gentleness, it looks pure and lustful...

Ying Lili painted Ba Mami so well, she couldn't bear to see the scene of Ba Mami's severed head...

Apart from Ba Mami, the other three characters also have different points of astringency. In short, there is nothing wrong with it at first glance, but if you look closely, you will always make people blush and stare at it uncontrollably.

The drawing is very good... But according to the desperate style of the work "Magic Circle", Ying Lili drew such a beautiful and astringent character, I always feel that there will be a wonderful response after the release...

"Xiaoshi, goodjob!"

After reading the cover painting, Sonoko Machida no longer questioned the strength of "Eri Kashiwagi", she patted Kasumigaoka on the shoulder and praised without hesitation.

"Well, let's read on." Kasumi Hill turned the page and continued to view other illustrations...

After a long time, the two of them read all the illustrations.

The number of illustrations is more than expected, one cover color painting, one color illustration plus eight black and white illustrations, the number exceeds the amount that Kasumigaoka initially discussed with Eriri.

Ying Lili also mentioned why there are more at the end of the email.

[The extra black and white illustrations do not need to be paid, I will draw them for you for free, I wish your works a big hit!In this way, I have successfully landed! ! ]

Since Ying Lili said no, then follow her orders.

But as a thank you, she will treat Ying Lili to a few meals later.

"Editor Machida, how is the illustration? Perfect, right?" Kasumigaoka crossed her arms and asked with ease.　　

Machida Sonoko straightened up and exclaimed: "It's really perfect, especially the one where Mami's head was bitten off. The impact is almost overflowing. To be honest, it's the first time I've been an editor for so many years. Seeing such impactful illustrations."

"It's obviously just a black and white illustration, but it's more creepy than a colorful bloody picture."

"And that color illustration, it's the witch's enchantment mentioned in your work, right? How did you draw it? It makes me get goosebumps. The incongruous and awkward feeling at first glance really makes me feel sick." People suffer."

"The drawing was good, unexpectedly good...but..."

Sonoko Machida rubbed her forehead and said helplessly, "Xiaoshi, you may have to make a choice. It is impossible to print all nine illustrations."

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka frowned and looked at Machida Sonoko.

"Cost, cost..." Sonoko Machida explained with a headache: "The printing cost of color illustrations is much higher than that of black and white illustrations, especially the fineness of the color illustrations is extraordinarily high..."

"If that one color illustration is printed, there must be a few less black and white illustrations..."

Kasumigaoka frowned and asked, "Can't we print all the illustrations?"

Machida Sonoko said in embarrassment: "Xiaoshi, I'll take the samples and ask the editor-in-chief. Maybe he will be extra gracious when he sees the high quality."

"Is that so... Editor Machida, I'm sorry."

"It's not too troublesome... just take a little effort, I'll ask tonight, and I'll tell you the result tomorrow."

Xia Zhiqiu's frown was loosened, as long as he can apply.

If the illustrations of a hall-level painter like Ying Lili cannot be added because of the cost saving of the publishing house, it would be too cheating...

Kasumigaoka rubbed his forehead, temporarily putting aside the issue of illustration.

She turned her head to look at Sonoko Machida, smiled and said, "By the way, Editor Machida, I have a surprise for you."

"En? What surprise?" Machida Sonoko looked at Kasumi Hill curiously.

"Come on, you sit here." Kasumigaoka stood up, pressed Machida Sonoko on the computer chair, and opened the Word document, "Look at this."

Sonoko Machida glanced at the content of the document, and said suspiciously: ""Magic Circle", what a surprise, I have already read the first volume."

"Look carefully." Xia Zhiqiu said mysteriously.

Machida Sonoko, who couldn't figure it out, held the mouse and flipped through the document. After flipping through it for a while, she found something was wrong.

The size and speed of the scroll bar on the right are wrong, which is not how a book should behave.
