The only male protagonist in variety comics

"Mr. Yamada, Editor-in-Chief Machida is busy... uh, sorry to bother you."

It must have been the receptionist who sent Yamada Fairy here before. He opened the door to the lounge and wanted to tell Yamada Fairy that the editor-in-chief was busy at the moment and had to wait a little longer. When he saw Rito Yuuki sitting opposite Yamada Fairy, he was stunned for a moment. , and then felt that Yuki Rito might be receiving the light novelist on behalf of the busy editor-in-chief at the moment, so he apologized and left again.

"Although you are not an editor, judging from that person's attitude towards you, you are also a member of the library, right?"

The Yamada Fairy showed a happy expression as if she had discovered Yuuki Rito's secret, and then spread her hands indifferently.

"Judging from how busy the editor-in-chief Machida is, it’s useless even if he becomes my editor-in-chief. The remaining editors are all mediocre people anyway. Instead of just finding one, Rito Yuki, why don’t you work part-time as my editor? Well, as long as you can convince Eromanga-sensei or Kashiwagi Eri-sensei, or one of them, to draw illustrations for my light novel, then you can enjoy the success. I want to be the savior of the light novel world. , yes, on behalf of other oppressed light novels, defeat Sword Art Online, which almost occupies the entire industry!"

Yuki Rito had no intention of working part-time as an editor to manage and assist light novel writers, but after hearing what Yamada Fairy said, he looked at her with interest.

"What if not? What if neither teacher can draw an illustration for you? Don’t you plan to write light novels? The reason for submitting to the other two libraries would have made sense in the past, but now, the three major libraries have been merged, resources are shared, and submissions are the same. Today's three major libraries are light novels, comics, games, and anime. The leaders of the four industries, and those who follow them, are all just blindly following the trend."

Yuki Rito is not talking nonsense. At the very beginning, the three major libraries were the leaders of the sluggish light culture industry. Now with Sword Art Online leading the way and the Tenjoin Foundation as the backing, it might be more appropriate to call it a monopoly. It was appropriate to have such a monopoly. Originally, such a monopoly was bound to be targeted by some big shots, but with the statements issued by the Tenjoin Foundation and Fusugawa Bookstore, after repeated consideration, we allowed it to develop.

Yuki Rito didn't like his own things. The big shots who were manipulated by others and gave up on interfering saved their lives without knowing it.

"I have already decided on the third candidate. Even without the support of those two teachers, my lady's explosive dark fairy will not be lost to the public."

That's what I said, but Fairy Yamada is familiar with the third candidate. After all, that person's illustration skills are slightly inferior, but his comic skills are much better. If I ask her to turn it into a manga in the future, Fairy Yamada doesn't have it. What psychological burden

"Yeah, I know, I'll give it a try"

"Well, this is my email address. If you have any news, let me know."

After exchanging email addresses, instead of exchanging mobile phone numbers, which is a more direct contact method, Yuki Rito looked at the Yamada Fairy sitting in front of him, slowly drinking the lemonade prepared by Bunko.

"You should be fine, right? Or do you mean you don't believe me? Although I am not an editor, to be honest, my power in the library is much greater than that of an editor."

"I just want to see what the friend you mentioned is like, an illustrator? Library staff? Or a light novel writer?"

"Light novel writer."

Yuki Rito doesn't feel the need to hide things related to Kasumigaoka Shiu from the Yamada fairy. Tell the truth.

"oh? Since you have more power than the editor, why didn't you help your friend?...No, Chief Editor Machida is busy right now. Could it be that your friend is talking to Chief Editor Machida? Tsk, the guy who takes the back door."

Yamada Fairy showed an obviously unhappy look, then thought about it and continued to ask.

"That guy is the author of Fantasy Demon Sword?"

Fantasy Demon Sword Den" is another winning work that participated in the Bunko Newcomer Awards. It is extremely popular and is the only light novel Yamada Fairy knows and understands besides Sword Art Online.

"Except for the fact that my friend was talking to the editor-in-chief, he was right, and everything else was wrong. Yamada Fairy, I have seen your Explosive Dark Fairy. How can I put it, it was quite enjoyable to watch, with an H-style youth love story. Monogatari, my friend also writes youth love stories, but not in the H style. You may have a competition in this aspect in the future."

The Dark Fairy of Explosion is the kind of light novel that boys like to read. It is simple, rough and H. Yuki Rito also likes it. At first, he even regarded it as the target to defeat. Now Sword Art Online's performance is naturally Yuki Rito's. I won, and now that I have discovered that the author of the explosive Dark Fairy is a beautiful girl, Yuuki Rito will not be stingy with words of praise.

"Contest? Humph, there is no doubt that I will win. I didn’t expect you to be my servant. You are unexpectedly cute. Then give me all your energy and complete the tasks entrusted by me."

After learning that Yuuki Rito's friend was not the author of Fantasy Demon Swordsman, Yamada Fairy stopped exploring and instead focused on the fact that Yuuki Rito admired his novel very much.

Seeing Yamada Fairy With an air of dignity, Rito Yuki felt that time was almost up and stood up.

"If you still want to rest, please do so. I have to leave first."

"I've had enough rest. I'm waiting for your message. It's best to reply to me as soon as possible."

Yamada Fairy stood up first and then left the lounge. Although she didn't look familiar with the Fantasia Bunko headquarters, her contented look showed that she didn't seem unfamiliar at all.

Yuuki Rito then returned to the first floor. In the lobby, he asked the library staff to get him two bottles of water, and sent a message to Machida Enzi to inform Machida of his decision to become the editor of Yamada Fairy. Yamada Fairy had disappeared. After waiting for about five minutes, Kasumigaoka Shiu appeared. In Rito's vision, he looked inspired and thoughtful, as if he had learned something. He looked like he was wandering around.

"From the look of you, everything goes well?"

Suddenly she heard someone talking, and the lost girl was stunned. After seeing clearly that it was Yuuki Rito, Kasumigaoka Shiu subconsciously took the mineral water handed to her, unscrewed the bottle cap with a little eagerness and took a big sip.

"Phew, everything goes well, Love Metronome has been decided to be published, and I have signed the contract. Originally, I thought Editor Machida was just an ordinary editor, but I didn’t expect him to be the editor-in-chief. How should I put it, with the approval of the editor-in-chief, I am optimistic about the future. More confident"

"Is it all good news? I think you are like a poor person who walked in the desert for a long time and drank half a bottle of water in one breath. You are very powerful, Kasumigaoka Shiyu."

Faced with Yuki Rito's ridicule, Kasumigaoka Shiyu was not annoyed.

"After all, I was a little nervous when facing my boss. Although I prepared water, I didn’t drink it. But Editor-in-Chief Machida is a very friendly person. We should be able to get along very happily in the future, Rito Yuki...Thank you"

"Thank me for what? Send you here? I’m going to send you back next. It’s better to say this later."

"No, thank you anyway"

"……You're welcome."
