Ding dong.
Dongfang Bai's phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Kagurazaka Ayame. She seemed to be following up on the manuscript, but his manuscript should have been finished and submitted by now.
Dongfang Bai has been working quite hard these past few days, not playing games at night but writing his manuscript properly. Although he still spends his time sleeping during class, the manuscript is finally finished, and his update speed is very fast.
Even Kagurazaka Ayame had never seen him update so quickly. He could write 10,000 to 20,000 words a day, and could finish a month's worth of manuscripts in 10 days at most. It was truly terrifying.
Because he didn't need to think at all, only making minor, insignificant revisions, and because he had written web novels for several years before transmigrating, writing 10,000 words a day was just a routine task, his writing speed was surprisingly fast.

Although he has been working very hard these past few days, 20,000 words a day is really his limit. He simply can't write anymore. Actually, laziness is also a factor. If he were to truly push himself to his limit, he could probably write around 30,000 words a day at most.
Thirty thousand words is a terrifying number. A volume of a light novel is only about one hundred thousand words. If you write thirty thousand words a day, you can finish a volume in three or four days. Others only finish a volume in a month. How terrifying is it to finish a volume in three days?
"Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Dongfang Bai glanced at the incoming call notification, greeted Eriri and the fairy, and left. At that moment, the four people at the table behind him immediately turned their faces away, not wanting Dongfang Bai to see them.
"Thank goodness, I was spotted out of the blue..."
Tainaka Ritsu patted his chest in a panic. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the four of them would have been seen. Dongfang Bai would be back soon, and if they stayed here any longer, they would definitely be discovered.
"Let's hurry up and go...!"
Akiyama Mio seemed a little afraid that Dongfang Bai would return in the next second, and spoke anxiously.
Why should we leave?
Hirasawa Yui was completely unaware of why Akiyama Mio and Tainaka Ritsu were so panicked; instead, she looked at the two of them with some confusion.
"Never mind, it would be too embarrassing if we got caught. Even if we said we just walked into a store, how could he possibly believe us...?"
As they spoke, Hirasawa Yui and Akiyama Mio exchanged a glance, quickly grabbed Hirasawa Yui, opened the shop door, and rushed out, with Kotobuki Tsumugi following closely behind.
Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to visit us again.
Gabriel looked at the four of them with a dead fish expression. She had seen the four girls eavesdropping on Dongfang Bai's speech since they came in, as well as the conversation between Eriri and the others.
"Ugh, there are just too many humans. It's so annoying when they're all huddled together."
Gabriel complained, but she was just saying it casually. After coming down from the Celestial Realm, she couldn't even use some basic abilities, let alone use a divine artifact like the 'Doomsday Horn'.
At most, it can only use its transformation ability, like having an extra pair of wings and a golden halo around its head. It looks powerful but is actually useless.
"Hey, Sister Changpu, what's up? Did your blind date fail again? Want to go out for a drink?"
"What kind of talk is that?!"
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone immediately flew into a rage. Even though he couldn't see the other person's face through the phone, Dongfang Bai could imagine Kagurazaka Ayame clenching her fists.
"I came here to talk to you about Fate. I noticed you've been writing your manuscript quite quickly these past few days, and you're already planning to adapt it into an anime."
puff……
Dongfang Bai almost spat out a mouthful of blood. When Kagurazaka Ayame mentioned that it would be adapted into an anime, he thought it was just talk, but he never expected it to actually be adapted into an anime.
"Wait a minute, I've only written one volume of Fate, right? How many episodes of anime can one volume make? Is it really that urgent?"
This was the first time he had ever heard of a light novel being adapted into an anime with only one volume. Everyone usually writes three or four volumes before starting to prepare for an anime adaptation. This one had only just released its first volume and was already preparing for an anime adaptation.
"You must know how popular Fate is right now. Dengeki Bunko has already recognized Fate's potential and plans to capitalize on its popularity to make it a huge hit. Do you even know what it means to release a movie in three days and get an anime adaptation in a month?"
"But isn't it a bit too early to adapt it into an anime? The funding is all ready? The voice actors have all been recruited?"
This was the first time Dongfang Bai had ever seen a light novel written in such a rush. It wasn't like it was in a hurry to be reincarnated, so why the rush? Although the popularity of the anime adaptation of "Fate" would definitely double.
However, there were simply too few manuscripts. At most, only two or three episodes of anime could be produced from each volume, and the quality of the animation also had to be considered. He didn't want the quality of Fate to be lower than before he transmigrated.
"It's okay, I'm just letting you know in advance. There's still at least a month to prepare. The voice actors haven't been fully selected yet, and nothing has started. It's just the planning that's in place. You can see the results a week before the animation starts production."
Hearing this, Dongfang Bai breathed a sigh of relief. There was still plenty of time. It seemed that Dengeki Bunko also knew that it was not good to rush things. It would take at least two months before they would officially start working on it, which was enough time for him to write several volumes.
While anime adaptations should respect the author's wishes, many excellent works have been ruined by their adaptations. Therefore, anime adaptations must be approached with utmost caution. Dongfang Bai would absolutely not agree to anime adaptations without sufficient funding and resources.
0 ····Requesting flowers···· ········
Fortunately, there is still a full month left, so he can prepare in advance.
"Keep writing. It would be best if you could finish all three volumes before the anime adaptation. Of course, if you disagree, the anime adaptation plan has only just been proposed and can be canceled at any time."
No, I agree.
Dongfang Bai accepted the statement without hesitation. Fate is indeed very popular right now. Sales have already exceeded 20 copies in the past few days, and it is very likely to reach 50 copies within a month.
.... ......... ...
Such high-achieving light novels have only been seen in "Fantasy Demon Blade Legend," so it's understandable that Dengeki Bunko values it so highly. "Fantasy Demon Blade Legend" is nearing its end, and without a new pillar, Dengeki Bunko could easily lose to the two other closely following light novel publishers.
"Actually, I suggested you postpone it for a few more months... Never mind, I'll call you again if anything comes up."
After Kagurazaka Ayame finished speaking, she greeted Dongfang Bai and hung up the phone. She also felt that time had gone by too fast. Dongfang Bai was definitely the fastest author to adapt anime into a novel, without exception. He started preparing for an anime adaptation less than two months after his debut. Even Senju Muramasa was not that exaggerated.
Dongfang Bai took a deep breath; his mind was filled with nothing but money! He wondered how much copyright revenue the animation adaptation would bring him. Once he earned enough money, he could finally relax and become a couch potato.
"My editor just told me that Fate is going to be adapted into an anime. I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to go back now, so I'll be leaving now."
"what!?"
Yamada Elf was completely dumbfounded. She thought it was some kind of news, but it turned out to be an anime adaptation. This was the first time in her life that an anime adaptation had been made so soon after the first volume was released.
"Isn't this a bit too fast?"
Eriri was also stunned, but she felt a little resentful. She didn't expect that Dongfang Bai had already been adapted into an anime after only one month of debut, while she didn't even have her first official long-form manga.
[PS: I now understand how tiring it is to run two accounts simultaneously.]
Chapter Twenty-Six: My Brother Can Draw Too? [Please Subscribe Automatically]
"Sagiri, sagiri!"
Bang, bang, bang, Dongfang Bai knocked on Sagiri's door. He was happier than usual today, so he knocked faster than before, which Sagiri noticed.
"Nisan, what's wrong?"
A moment later, the door opened a crack, and Sagiri peeked over. She seemed somewhat surprised that Dongfang Bai, who was usually calm about everything, could also be so excited.
"Listen to me, Fate might be getting an anime adaptation in the next two months."
Upon hearing this, Sagiri was taken aback, then her face lit up with joy, and she immediately opened the door.
"Really...really?"
The lights were still on in Sagiri's room, and there were many drawing tools on the table, especially the graphics tablet that I bought for her, which was placed in the center. An electric pen was also casually placed to the side, which showed that she had just been drawing.
"That's right, but the timing is still undetermined. It depends on how fast I publish the book to determine the speed of the animation adaptation."
Dongfang Bai saw that Shawu had made way for him to go in, so he didn't hesitate and went in to sit down, very skillfully.
"So, brother, when would be a good time to adapt it into an anime?"
Sagiri gently tossed her long, silver-white hair and sat down opposite Dongfang Bai. She looked very happy, after all, the character she designed herself was about to be animated...!
I want to see Saber and Illya moving! And with sounds! I really want to see Saber and Illya moving!
It was as gratifying as seeing one's own child learn to walk. It was also the first time she had illustrated a novel as Eromanga Sensei.
The book Fate was illustrated by one of them and written by the other. It is like a crystallization completed by Sagiri and Touhou Haku together, just like a child!
The thought of the word 'child' made Sagiri blush, and she didn't even dare to look Dongfang Bai in the eye.
"Well, that's up to Sagiri to decide. If Sagiri draws quickly, I can keep up with her pace."
Dongfang Bai meant that it was entirely up to Sagiri to decide. If Sagiri drew 5 exquisite full-color illustrations and 10 black and white illustrations in a month, then Dongfang Bai would choose to follow her pace and write 10 words in a month.
If Sagiri wanted to speed things up and could produce 10 color illustrations and 20 black and white illustrations a month, then Higashikata would be able to keep up with her pace and write over 20 words a month.
He absolutely did not mean to force Sagiri to work. He still cherished his younger sister very much. If Sagiri was unwilling to draw, he would be fine with delaying the work with her. At worst, it would just be a delay of a year or six months.
"……Um."
Sagiri clearly understood what Hikaru meant. She frowned slightly. This was also her first time participating in light novel illustration work. However, she was also very fast at drawing. She could draw a full-color painting in an afternoon, and her fastest work in a day was one full-color painting and two black and white paintings.
“Brother, we’re doing two months’ worth of work in one month.”
Sagiri seemed to have made up her mind. She desperately wanted to see the moment when the characters she designed could talk. She had been looking forward to it for a long time, so how could she resist when she heard this news?
"Sagiri, can you handle it?"
Dongfang Bai frowned. He was still a little worried about Sagiri. Sagiri had always loved drawing, both in the beginning and now, which was why she kept drawing.
But if an interest becomes a job, then it is no longer an interest.
If Sagiri wanted to do two months' worth of work in one month, she would have to draw 10 color pictures and 20 black and white pictures, which is quite a lot. He was a little afraid that Sagiri would hate drawing because of this.
"No problem!"
Sagiri seemed to feel that her brother underestimated her, and she pouted unhappily, looking like a little punching bag. Over time, her voice gradually grew louder.
Now I can at least communicate normally with Dongfang Bai, the person closest to me, and I don't speak as softly as I did at the beginning.
However, he still didn't dare to leave his room and didn't dare to talk to strangers!
Dongfang Bai was silent for a few seconds. He felt a little regretful. Although he was initially very happy and wanted to tell Sagiri the news immediately, he suddenly thought that Sagiri's workload might be a bit too heavy.
To be honest, the workload for Japanese light novel writers is really light, only a little over 0 words a month. Although it has to be completely original, it's much easier than writing web novels in China.
"I'm still not reassured. After I finish the manuscript, I'll come over and help you with the illustrations."
After thinking it over, Dongfang Bai still felt that this was a safer option. He would write 15,000 words a day to solve the manuscript problem, and then use his evenings to help Sagiri with the artwork.
"Brother...can you draw?"
Sagiri was stunned. She stared blankly at Dongfang Bai. Could it be that this brother who could write light novels could also draw illustrations?
"I'd say I know a little bit."
Dongfang Bai scratched his cheek. He had studied anime copying before he transmigrated, so helping Sagiri was no problem.
Sagiri realized for the first time how amazing her brother was. He could write light novels, draw, cook delicious food, and was gentle. Just how many good qualities did he have?
