I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

Anyway, she can just be the good guy, and Akitomo is happy to be the "bad guy".

"Fumino is still the best!"

After this trip, Sayaka Kudo was no longer so nervous.

Face the reality calmly, this is what she has to do now.

Now that I'm here, I might as well see if anyone will buy her book.

"You have just made your debut and your work is out. How should you adjust your mentality? You can ask Eriri for advice."

Tomoya Aki picked up a novel written by Sayaka Kudo and became the first reader seen by Sayaka Kudo who was ready to buy her work.

At the same time, Eriri, who was mentioned by Tomoya Aki, was stunned for a moment.

"Don't tell me Sawamura-san also writes novels?!"

Kudo Sayaka looked at Eriri in amazement.

In Keio, the senior whom I met in my second year of the Faculty of Literature was also said to be a powerful person.

Don't tell her now that Eriri is also a colleague...

"I can't write a novel or something like that. I just drew comics before and sold them at comic conventions..."

Eriri replied modestly.

In reality, Eriri is much more capable.

A well-known illustrator in the industry, her mother manages Kashiwagi Eri's homepage on her behalf and also sells it.

Join forces with Kasumigaoka Utaha and gradually get ashore.

Sayaka Kudo didn't know all this, but she had respect for Eriri. In terms of creation, Eriri could be considered a senior.

"It's similar to what Guqiao said. It's like this at the beginning, but it will be fine as time goes by."

Eriri didn't know what to say, so she repeated what Furuhashi Fumino said.

As for Tomoya Aki, he had already opened the book and started reading.

"Why did you look at it in front of me without my permission?"

"I want to make sure you didn't say anything bad about me in here!"

“It won’t be that boring!”

The smirk on the other person's face made Kudo Sayaka feel a little uneasy.

Although I had shown it to Tomoya Aki a long time ago, I felt a little out of control when I saw him reading the novel I wrote in front of him.

"In that case, I should check it out. Should Sayaka let me appear?"

Fumino Furuhashi said this with great interest at this moment.

This is a novel written by Sayaka Kudo. Although I have heard the author talk about it in detail, I have not yet read the content with my own eyes.

Since it’s a story about their school, it’s not excessive for her to show up once!

"Fumino, you've started too!"

"You're welcome, lol~."

As Fumino Furuhashi spoke, he also picked up a book and started reading it slowly.

Finally, it was Eriri who asked in confusion, "Is Ren in the novel too?"

Aki Tomoya raised his head, then looked at Eriri and replied: "Yes, this is based on a true story!"

After he said that, Eriri became interested because there was someone she knew appearing in the story, so she walked over and picked up a book.

I just want to know how they developed such a good relationship in the school.

Now there is a novel that specifically writes about their school story. You must read it!

The so-called knowing yourself and your enemy means you can fight a hundred battles without danger!

"So, the only people who are willing to read my books are those I know?"

Kudo Sayaka now had nothing to be ashamed of, and was instead more worried about something else.

This matter is very important to her as a new author who has just debuted.

First week sales.

At the moment, Kudo Sayaka didn't have much expectations. She was just praying in her heart that the first week's sales would not be too bad.

Chapter 265 A Good Start (3/4)

This novel by Sayaka Kudo is adapted from their story during those two years in the cram school.

She herself is the protagonist, and together with the teachers and students in the cram school, she strives to get into their respective ideal schools. She goes from having little hope to successfully being admitted to the Keio Faculty of Literature.

The story of Qingfeng Academy.

Everything that happened in the cram school during those two years is in this book by Sayaka Kudo.

It contains characters from the school, including Tomoya Aki and Fumino Furuhashi.

However, after all, it is from the first-person perspective of the protagonist Kudo Sayaka, and it focuses more on her growth in the school.

From just playing around to really wanting to get into Keio University, and even being prepared to work hard.

These are all real things that happened.

That is a story told from Sayaka Kudo's first-person perspective.

About halfway through the story, Eriri had a certain understanding of what was happening at the school.

Ying Lili knew how they got through those two years, supporting and encouraging each other.

To say that the relationship is bad is weird.

"Strictly speaking, Lun and I have known each other for a long time, but for more than ten years, we were almost in a cold war..."

It’s not quite right to call it a Cold War.

During that time, we were not even ordinary friends, let alone childhood sweethearts.

And when they reconciled later, they were not so-called good friends with similar interests.

Speaking of like-minded people, the ones I met at Qingfeng Academy are the ones who share the same interests.

He wanted to get into the University of Tokyo, Kudo Sayaka wanted to get into Keio, and Furuno Fumino wanted to fulfill her childhood wish.

Everyone was trying their best and shouting under the fireworks, saying that they must get into that university.

That year, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha were at the fireworks festival, and they were thinking about collaborating on a new work.

On the rooftop of Qingfeng Academy, everyone looked up at the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky. For the mock exams and for the goals in their hearts, they shouted towards there. In addition to encouragement, they also released stress.

Ying Lili has never experienced firsthand how hard it is to prepare for an exam.

Because she was different, relying on her innate talent, the awards she won at art exhibitions in high school, and her background, she could easily get into Tokyo University of the Arts with the recommendation.

At that time, the C or B grade in the mock exam was still putting a lot of pressure on Aki Tomoya.

“Preparing for the exam is really hard…”

Ying Lili read half of it and said something from the bottom of her heart.

When Sayaka Kudo was preparing for the exam, she slept very late every day.

Her time is so tight, not to mention that Tomoya Aki is a more difficult target.

No one who is preparing for an exam can say how easy it is. Only those who have experienced it know the bitterness involved.

Of course, if they are geniuses, their world is different from that of ordinary people.

Just as Eriri knew, Kasumigaoka Utaha changed her first choice of Hayatei University to Keio University, and then went directly to take the exam and was easily admitted.

But there are still more ordinary people in this world.

"I've already gotten through it. What's so hard about it? It's up to classmate Gu Qiao next year. I'll be able to get into the place I've always dreamed of next year."

Aki Tomoya smiled casually.

They had already gotten through the days of preparing for the exam.

Of the people I know now, the only one left is Fumino Furuhashi.

One of the things they are still thinking about is whether she can get into Yuzuruha University next year.

"I will contribute to the first sales volume!"

Aki Tomoya closed the book and shook it in front of Kudo Sayaka.

Without waiting for the other party to say anything, he took the book and went to pay the bill.

"And I!"

Someone has already competed for the first place, and as a good friend of Kudo Sayaka, Furuno Furuma accepted the second place.

In response, Kudo Sayaka smiled sheepishly.

But what made her feel relieved was that Fumino Furuhashi didn't say anything that would make her feel ashamed.

This talented friend has a pretty good level of appreciation.

I bought the books in the bookstore and was not in a hurry to leave.

"Kudo, do you want to secretly observe whether anyone buys your novel?"

When I turned to look at Kudo Sayaka, I found that she was secretly glancing at the door.

Every time someone came in, her eyes would change.

After noticing this detail, Akitomo easily deduced what the other party was thinking at the moment.

The number of people in this bookstore who have bought her novels can be counted on one hand.

Or there's no need to count, there are just four of them.

As the author of the novel, Sayaka Kudo herself also contributed to the sales.

"No, I'm just looking to see if there are any novels that interest me!"

"…There are so many light novels around here. Which one do you want to read? This one, "Love Metronome"?"

Tomoya Aki picked up a light novel. He didn't think Sayaka Kudo would be interested in light novels.

She'll stay here just to see if anyone will buy her novel.

"Kasumi Shiko...when I saw this name, I inexplicably thought of someone!"

Sayaka Kudo looked at the author's name signed above and below the cover.

The pen name Xia Shizi gave her a sense of déjà vu.

"This book is selling quite well. You are a popular writer in the light novel industry. The popularity of your new book has boosted the sales of your old book. This is your future goal. When you become popular, your book can be sold out!"

Tomoya Aki painted a good future for Sayaka Kudo.

When Kudo Sayako becomes famous, her novels sell like hot cakes, and various adaptations are made, it will be a big deal.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say..."

Kudo Sayaka chuckled.

That kind of future is not bad. For a popular female writer, it doesn’t matter whether she is famous or not. If she makes a lot of money, she will buy everything she wanted to buy before!

While she was thinking this, Tomoya Aki looked at the book "Love Metronome" in his hand again.

As far as he knows, the new work of the author of this light novel, who has transformed himself into a pseudonym, will be released next month.

Up to now, he still doesn't know what the name of Kasumigaoka Utaha's new work will be.

"Here it comes, someone wants to buy it!"

Sayaka Kudo suddenly grabbed the shoulder of Tomoya Aki next to her with some excitement.

She spoke softly, looking at a man who was flipping through his novel, waiting to see if that man would take action.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the person who was trying out the book suddenly closed the book and hesitated whether to buy it.
