The only male protagonist in variety comics

"I'm glad you found this."

Yuki Rito put him on a higher level like this, as if he was looking down at her. The way he spoke made Yukinoshita Harano speechless, and he asked after a few seconds.

"So when I accidentally bumped into you and shouted that I wanted to give you money as compensation, I wouldn't have looked like a clown in your eyes, right? Even if you don't take into account the help that the Tenjouin Foundation has given you, just the normal profits from the Sword Art Online light novel, you are a rich man."

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yono still doesn't know that games are more profitable than light novels.

"Of course not. At that time, I was not yet financially wealthy. I had just submitted my novel, so it was not even a start. Five hundred thousand yen was indeed a big boost to me."

"Phew, that’s good."

Yunoshita Yangno looked down at the time, and then said

"In about a week, the branches of the three major libraries will be officially opened in Chiba City. I hope you can come over then. The animation work of Sword Art Online will be carried out at the branch. As a supervisor,Even if you don’t intend to interfere with the original work, it’s better to show it a little bit. If I can see you, the relevant staff will be greatly encouraged. Well, don’t worry, even if you don’t consider the Tenjoin Foundation, these three major libraries It is also a large company, and the quality of the staff can be guaranteed. If you don't want to, no one will secretly take your photos and upload them to the Internet, and no one will spread the word that Kayaba Akihiko is actually a young boy. if"

"One week? So fast?"

"The eldest lady directly bought a building as the branch location. Well, it is the tallest one in Chiba City, so she only needs to move some of the people and equipment from the three major libraries here, recruit some more employees, and build a more professional building. Tools, a week is enough."

The tallest building in Chiba City...

Yuuki Rito has been to the building with the aquarium. He took Mikan and Lala to visit it before. He didn't expect that it would become a branch of Bunko now.

"Okay, I understand. Someone should notify me when everything is ready, right?"

"Of course, then I'll leave first."

After Yukinoshita Haruno said this, she looked at Yuki Rito and made no other movements. Seeing this, Yuki Rito raised his eyebrows, bowed next to the door, and stretched his hand forward.

"please"

"I thought you would invite me to dinner, just to be polite."

Hearing Yukinoshita Yono's dissatisfied complaints, Yuki Rito accepted it humbly.

"So do you want to have dinner at my house? Although I may not be doing your part, although I still have some things to do, and although it may be dangerous to drive with your driving skills when it gets dark, do you want to eat at my house?"

"Hum, no need."

It was said to be an invitation, but it was actually a clear statement that she didn't want him to stay. Yukinoshita Haruno walked downstairs with a thump, originally showing a pretty face full of anger in front of Yuki Rito. , turned into a gentle smile when he saw Lala

"Lala, I'm leaving first. If you have time later, we can play together. Anyway, we have added friends. Is Xiao Meigan cooking in the kitchen? It's very hard. I won't bother her in the kitchen."

"Oh, okay, next time I will take you to kill people together"

"Can't you just brush off monsters properly?"

Maybe it's because Lala is born with a halo of favorability, or maybe it's because Yukinoshita Harano and Lala got along well with each other during the previous sports meeting. The conversation between the two was very relaxed and casual. As an uninformed person, you would think that the topics they talked about were a bit scary. , but in fact it was just about the game.

After complaining feebly, Yukinoshita Harano drove away.

And Lala looked at Yuuki Rito who also walked downstairs with curious eyes.

"Did Yang Nai say something to you? Ah, if it's something very secret, you don't need to tell me."

"It was said that the three major libraries would set up branches in Chiba City, and she became the branch director."

"Branch chief? Is there such a position?"

"Well, I don't know about this, but it seems like he has a lot of power."

While talking, Yuki Rito noticed that his mobile phone received a call. He looked at the screen of the mobile phone and then at Lala. She was talking to him and lowered her head to play with her mobile phone. She seemed very involved and occupied the space. It was left to Yuuki Rito. At this moment, Yuuki Rito could turn around and find a hidden place to answer the phone without any embarrassment. However, Yuuki Rito sat on the sofa in the living room and answered the phone.

"Kasumigaoka Shiyu?"

"It’s me. Today, Metronome of Love passed the review, and I was approached by the editor of Fantasia Bunko. She seemed to want to recommend Metronome of Love as an outstanding work. Specifically, I have to go to Tokyo."

"Congratulations."

Now that Sword Art Online has become a super hot topic, there is no need for Fantasia Bunko to work hard on promotion. Some resources can also be used in other places.

Although Rito Yuki did not turn on the hands-free function, at such a close distance, La La could also hear Kasumigaoka Shiu's voice clearly. She was pretending to play with her mobile phone, but she raised her head and glanced at Rito Yuki next to her, but she smiled warmly. Rito Yuki had no intention of hiding anything. , Lala is very happy

"……Did you help me? I just told you last night and got a reply this morning. Well, no matter what, thank you. Are you free during the weekend?"

"have it?"

"Is this a yes or a no? I’m going to the Fantasia Bunko in Tokyo on Saturday with the first volume of Love Metronome, and I’ll consult with Editor Machida in person. Can you accompany me?"

Listening to Kasumigaoka Shiu's rare soft-spoken plea, Yuki Rito didn't feel happy, nor did he imagine what the girl on the other end of the phone looked like. He was a little panicked.

Machida Enko was his real girlfriend. Entrusting her with Kasumigaoka Shiu's affairs is already considered a bold attempt by Rito Yuuki. If he accompanies Kasumigaoka Shiu to see Machida Enko again, it would be a provocation. Even someone who is usually as gentle as water would be angry, let alone Machida Enko’s character is more of a strong woman

"Well, shouldn't most companies be closed on weekends?"

"It seems that the editor has to work overtime. I heard that it is to prepare for Sword Art Online. There is a lot of work piled up in the library. It is very hard anyway. Can you accompany me? It's a bit uneasy to go to a big city like that alone."

"good."

Because his Sword Art Online has asked Machida Enko to work overtime, Yuuki Rito is getting more and more panicked at this time. He will think of a way then. Anyway, with his own fighting power as a God-killer, a mere hatchet is not worth mentioning.

Yuki Rito tried to comfort himself in his heart and hung up the phone. Mikan, who had been cooking in the kitchen before, came out with a blue lunch box. After waiting for a while, he saw Yuuki Rito and the woman on the other end of the phone. After the child finished the conversation, he handed the bento in his hand to Yuuki Rito without asking which of his confidante it was.

"Send it to Gabriel. Sister Lala and I will wait for you to come back and have dinner together."

After Mei Gan finished speaking, she found that Lala didn't seem to know Gabriel's appearance, so she added

"I will talk to Sister Lala a little bit about Gabriel."

"good."
