The only male protagonist in variety comics

Takasago Bookstore is a self-employed bookstore on this ordinary street. The bookstore has two floors and is not very spacious. However, it seems that the light novels are well collected and occupy a large area in the bookstore. This is because it is mainly open to young people. , the contents are mostly light novels full of youthful vitality, and the atmosphere in the store is also very bright.

"Hello, do you have any questions about light novels?"

The person receiving Rito Yuuki at this moment is a girl with long glossy black hair and a delicate appearance unique to women. Rito

Yuuki felt that the middle-aged woman who was responsible for looking after the store when she bought books should be this one. The girl’s mother or other relatives had similarities in appearance.

Seeing Yuuki Rito coming over with a popular light novel in the store, Takasago Chie went up to greet her. As a person who was looking after the store after studying Takasago Bookstore's signature clerk, Takasago Tomoe reads many light novels every month. She is very familiar with many light novels, not only the popular works, but also the little-known but interesting books.

And currently Only one volume of"The Dark Fairy of Fire" has been released, which is probably between popular works and lesser-known works. However, because of Takasago Chie's recommendation, the sales of"Dark Fairy of Fire" in Takasago Bookstore are higher than those in most other bookstores. The average amount of the book is much higher.

Although she feels a little shy about some of the more erotic content, Takasago Tomoe does not deny that it is a very good light novel. It is the sequel to her favorite Sword Art Online, and it is also a newcomer. Part of the content was released during the Light Novel Writer Awards, and it is my favorite work after Fantasy Demon Sword Den, which has not been heard from for a long time.

So when I saw Rito Yuki coming over with this light novel, something seemed to have happened. , Takasago Chie was still a little nervous.

Yuki Rito looked around and saw that there were no other customers in the bookstore for the time being, so he directly opened the title page of the light novel, pointed to the signature of Yamada Fairy on it, and asked Takasago Chie

"Why is this light novel signed by the author? It seems that Fantasia Bunko has no related activities, right?"

So it's this.

Takasago Chie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then patted her chest and assured Yuki Rito

"Please rest assured that this is the autograph of the author Yamada Fairy. Due to some coincidence, she and I became friends, so I asked her for help, so our store is able to sell autographed books. It should be considered unique in the entire Chiba City."

Although this handwriting is indeed similar to the manuscript Yamada Fairy gave to herself, the"she" used in Takasago Chie's words does indeed describe Yamada Fairy's gender, just as Yamada Fairy thinks Eromanga-sensei is an otaku, and the writing style is mature and erotic. The Yamada fairy is also an otaku in the eyes of most people.

However, Yuuki Rito does not intend to simply believe the words of the girl in front of him.

"Can you tell me the specific characteristics of Yamada Fairy?"

These repeated questions made Takasago Chie frown, and she looked Yuuki Rito up and down, trying to see if he was a reporter or something.

Of course, nothing could be seen.

Instead, she had a vague feeling that the other party was a reporter. Very powerful type

"This...should be considered other people's privacy, right?"

"I am the editor-in-chief of Yamada Fairy, and now I need to determine whether your bookstore has cheated in this regard and harmed the interests of my writers."

Yuki Rito's first reaction to Takasago Tomoe's words was not that she was shocked when she discovered the truth, but that she was in disbelief. Yuki Rito looked about the same age as her, that is to say, he should be a high school student. As a result, He said he was the editor of Fantasia Bunko? If it were in the past, Takasago Tomoe, who didn't know this industry, might have believed it. However, now, she clearly knows how popular the light novel industry is now. The number of novels has increased tenfold compared to before, and it is absolutely impossible for a high school student to take on such a formal job as library editor.

"Although you don’t look like a bad person, you don’t look like an editor either, right?"

Takasago Tomoe looked at Yuuki Rito with eyes full of distrust.

It is obvious that editor is just the most ordinary of Yuuki Rito's many identities, but the other party still didn't believe it. In fact, besides editor, I am Kayaba Akihiko, the author of Sword Art Online, is a friendly ambassador who represents the exchange between humans and monsters, a common friend of angels and demons, the consort of the galaxy's overlord, Debbie Luke, and a god-slayer who kills the disobedient god? He raised his eyebrows and said, Jorito took out the manuscript of Yamada Fairy from the briefcase.

"I wonder if this can prove my identity?"

Speaking of which, I don't have a work permit for Fantasia Bunko. Before this, Rito Yuki had always relied on facial recognition. If there is a chance, I can have someone make one for me.

Takasago Chie curiously handed over the manuscript to Rito Yuuki. Opening it, I was surprised to find that it was the second volume of Dark Fairy of Blastfire that I had been looking forward to for a long time, but that

Fairy Yamada had kept secret. It was clear that Rito Yuki's identity was confirmed when he received the manuscript, but Chie Takasago did not. He responded immediately, but instead acted cleverly and quickly browsed through most of the contents to satisfy his eager curiosity. Then he gave up and carefully returned the manuscript to Yuuki Rito, then bowed.

"It turns out he is really the editor of Goblin. Have you gone to see Goblin before? She lives nearby. She is a beautiful girl with blond hair. I must have said that right, right?"

"right."

Since Takasago Chie and Yamada Fairy are really friends, then there is no problem.

Thinking of the first time she met Yamada Fairy, Takasago Chie couldn't help smiling, with a bit of hope to see Yamada Fairy's embarrassment, Takasago Chie talks about Yamada Fairy’s little secret

"Goblin secretly visited her on several occasions to see the sales of her light novels. My mother and I also treated her as a suspicious person and kept a close eye on her for a period of time. I became friends with her because of this."

Halfway through, Takasago Chie seemed to have remembered something, and stared at Yuuki Rito expectantly.

"Hey, editor, if you work at Fantasia Bunko, you should know something about Sword Art Online and Fantasy Demon Sword Den that made a splash in the Newcomer Light Novel Awards, right?"
