Welcome to the world of strength supremacy

The number of online purchases alone has exceeded 10,000, and it is a popular light novelist.

In this world, the sales of light novels in physical bookstores are generally higher than online sales, and Sword Art Online sales exceed 10,000, so the sales in physical bookstores should be higher, but such data is not suitable for Igarashi I don’t have much sense of reality, but beside him there is Kasumigaoka Shiu who has sold more than 500,000 copies.

How is this data?

How is it? Very good. As a new light novelist, your performance has exceeded 99% of people.

Igarashi's question made Machida Enko irritated for a while. A person who didn't even know what grades were considered excellent had unknowingly become one of the few people standing at the top of the light novel world. It is roughly estimated that Sword Art Online is only the first in sales. Within days, the total sales volume can reach about 30,000.

You must know that many popular light novels only achieve tens of thousands per volume in half a year, but Sword Art Online only took one day to reach this point. As for ordinary light novels or even unpopular light novels, I am afraid they will never reach the level of Sword Art Online in one day. sales volume.

This situation makes Machida Enko a little confused. Although the library vigorously promotes it and has Kashiwagi Eri's name, the specific content of Sword Art Online is not revealed. It should not have such a big influence, but everything is getting better. On one side of the development, Machida Enzi no longer delved into it.

Are you free tomorrow? Come to Tokyo and celebrate your achievements in Sword Art Online.

I was free when I was free, but Igarashi didn’t want to attend the so-called celebration banquet. They drank and drank together, and it seemed harmonious, but Igarashi was not interested in socializing, not to mention that in the entire Fantastic library, Machida Enko was the only one Igarashi knew. He didn't want to waste time with a bunch of unknown people.

I'm still a student and I don't like socializing.

student? Machida Eonko doesn't think that an ordinary student can write a light novel like Sword Art Online at a terrifying speed, which is destined to become a hit, nor does she think that a student will have such a temperament. A light novel written by a student in his free time, A group of light novelists who made a minor career were crushed.

However, Miss Machida, who already has some understanding of Igarashi's character, did not ask Igarashi to come to Tokyo to participate in social activities. Unlike other professions, light novelists do not need to have any social activities, as long as they stay at home and create. Of course, excluding book signings or animations.

Last time I went to Chiba, didn't you show me around? This time when I come to Tokyo, I'll treat you to dinner, just the two of us.

The editor-in-chief did not need Igarashi to deal with anyone in Bunko, but the inexplicable mood caused by not seeing each other for a week made Machida Enko take advantage of her position to find an excuse to meet with Igarashi.

no problem.

Chiba and Tokyo are not far apart, so getting along with such a charming person as Machida Enko is a good thing, and Igarashi agreed without hesitation.

The inconsistent attitude of the person on the other side of the phone made Machida Enko smile. For him, isn't getting along with me a social event?

Chapter 119 Who do you like?

On Saturday, Igarashi came to Tokyo again, but instead of going to the headquarters of Fantastic Bunko, he went to sit down in a restaurant with a quiet environment.

Arashi! Hey, Igarashi-san, you're here.

When she suddenly saw Igarashi, Machida Enko couldn't help shouting out a somewhat intimate name in joy. When she realized it, she coughed lightly and quickly changed her words.

At this time, Miss Machida was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt, and Igarashi was wearing a similar color to hers. In the eyes of others, the two were undoubtedly lovers. They looked at the young and beautiful girl in front of them, with a blush on her pretty face. At the same time, Machida Enko couldn't suppress a smile, and the corners of Igarashi's lips curled up.

Editor-in-Chief, just start calling me by my name, it's okay.

You heard...

Machida Enko, who was originally a little shy because she subconsciously called a young boy an intimate name, heard Igarashi's words and could no longer comfort herself with the excuse that the other party might not have heard it, and suddenly became cautious.

Looking at Machida Enko who was as submissive as a little girl, Igarashi comforted her with malice.

Editor-in-Chief, there is no need to be formal. There are only two of us here, so just feel free to do it.

What does it mean that just the two of us can do whatever we want? Are we doing something shady? This is obviously Tokyo, my home court, okay? Also, why is this guy so respectful to me now, like the editor-in-chief?

Although she was a little nervous, Machida Enko did not become dull. She discovered many problems from Igarashi's words. The restaurant she specially selected had small booths, and the conversation between the two was not heard by others. Otherwise, When Igarashi said this, Ms. Machida would definitely not be able to bear the meaningful look she might be looking at.

Now you know that I am the editor-in-chief? Your attitude towards me is not like that of an author facing an editor.

Although Machida Enko seemed to be angry in her words, Igarashi could not really feel the anger from her soft, coquettish tone. The dining table between the two of them was not wide, and Igarashi moved forward, leaning against Machida Enko's cuteness. He stopped very close to his face and looked at Ms. Machida who was holding her breath nervously because of her actions.

Your attitude towards me is also different from that of a normal editor, Yuanzi.

Well

The editor-in-chief who was making waves in the workplace had zero experience in love. Faced with Igarashi’s aggressive words and names, Machida Enko didn’t know how to respond. She directly picked up the menu on the table and put it He raised it up to cover his face, which was getting hot, as a way to protect himself from Igarashi's eyes.

Well, then, let's order.

Because the two of them were sitting face to face, when Machida Enko put the menu up, all Igarashi could see was the cover of the menu, which looked like a book. Knowing that Ms. Machida needed time to calm down, she Sit there quietly.

What do you like to eat?

After a while, Machida Enko realized that Igarashi couldn't see the contents of the menu at all. She slowly spread the menu flat on the table, glanced at Igarashi secretly, and then quickly looked down at the menu like a frightened rabbit.

There is a big difference between Miss Machida now and the way she looked when we first met at Bunko Headquarters. Igarashi propped his head on his hands and looked at Machida Enko with interest, who had lost his editor-in-chief demeanor.

You can order whatever you want, I have no taboos.

Originally, Igarashi almost said love words like I love eating whatever you order because of the malice in his heart. Let's see what Machida Enko will become like. However, the editor-in-chief in front of him has already made Igarashi a feast for his eyes, so he replied compassionately. Let Miss Machida go.

After a period of time to calm down, Machida Enko was no longer so nervous and slurred her words. The restaurant she originally picked was the one that Machida Enko thought tasted good. Since Igarashi gave the ordering rights to On her own, Machida Enko naturally ordered a few dishes that tasted good in her memory.

No longer able to distract her attention with things like ordering food, Machida Enko, who couldn't bear the ambiguous atmosphere of the two of them alone, found the time waiting for the food to be served. Igarashi, who was aware of this, consciously stirred up the topic.

How is the situation in Sword Art Online?

Phew, Igarashi's question made Machida Enzi relax. This matter was within the scope of her work, and Miss Machida suddenly became more natural.

The sales volume on the first day was 30,000, and all major physical bookstores have increased demand. The sales of Sword Art Online will continue to increase in the next few days. I have already asked the printing factory to prepare for additional printing.

Machida Enoko didn't say much, but Igarashi already understood the hard work that the editor-in-chief had put into Sword Art Online. As the author of this light novel, except for coding, he had no other job, but he was able to win the title on the first day of release. For such achievements, Igarashi is full of gratitude to Miss Machida.

Thanks for your hard work.

As the editor-in-chief, she was comforted by her own authors. This was a somewhat ridiculous thing, but it made Machida Enko feel warm and she shook her head gently.

Sword Art Online is the capital that Bunku will use to compete with peers in the future. I am the editor-in-chief, how can I not do a good job in related work, and I am also a fan of Sword Art Online.

At the end of the sentence, Machida Enoko smiled softly at Igarashi. The blush on her shy and timid face had not dissipated. The current Miss Machida was amazingly charming.

Who do you like in Sword Art Online?

As the editor-in-chief, Enko Machida naturally knows her Sword Art Online very well. Igarashi even described the future plot direction of Sword Art Online to her in detail. However, even if Ms. Machida expressed her opinions, she rarely expressed her subjective preferences. Sword Art Online There are so many characters in God's Domain, and Igarashi is a little curious about who the editor-in-chief will like.

Of course Kirito.

Machida Enko answered Igarashi's question without hesitation. Seeing the surprise on Igarashi's face, she then explained.

I'm a woman, do you want me to like a female character?

What theory is this? If you’re a woman, can’t you like female characters? As a male, Igarashi also likes Kirito. Of course, it would be better if it was Kirito. Is Machida Enko's love between men and women? At this thought, Igarashi couldn't help but put on a hurt expression.

I didn't expect that the editor-in-chief likes characters from light novels.

Chapter 120 I’ll take care of you

Seeing Igarashi's expression, Machida Enko's heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to explain. Then she reacted and gave Igarashi an annoyed look with a hurt expression.
