My Cartoonist Girlfriend

........

After the afternoon class, Asakura Kaede went to pick up Eriri, and at the same time took Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino and went directly to the library.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino have already gotten over the initial discomfort with their part-time jobs and have become completely familiar with the work.

The work efficiency of these two people is very good. The editor-in-chief of the editorial department is very satisfied with them and even plans to recruit them directly after they graduate from university.

After all, the library's novel editors still need fresh blood.

It’s a pity that neither Yukinoshita Yukino nor Hikigaya Hachiman want to work as editors after graduation. They will definitely go to the Yukinoshita family’s company later.

While driving, Asakura Feng asked, "I remember that the Yukinoshita family's company also has a branch in Tokyo, right? If you want to learn something, you can go to the branch, so why not go?"

Looking at Yukino, Hikigaya Hachiman smiled and said, "Because Sister Haruno is there. We will definitely be harassed if we go there. Besides, we are only freshmen now, so there is no need to go there directly. It is also good to study in some places that we are interested in first."

"That's true."

Asakura Feng agreed and said, "It won't be too late to go to the branch when you are in your third or fourth year of college. In college, work is secondary. The main thing is to study and get in touch with things that interest you."

"You say that, but why don't I see you joining any clubs or anything like that?"

"I've been in clubs for three years in high school, so there's really no need for them." Asakura Feng laughed, "Besides, there aren't any clubs in college that I'm interested in. I'd rather spend my time writing, which is also my hobby."

"Hobbies..."

Asakura Kaede's words reminded Hikigaya Hachiman of a classmate from high school, Shibamotoza, who was in the late stage of chuunibyou. He also liked light novels and wanted to be a light novel writer, but what he wrote was completely self-indulgent work and nonsense.

"Asakura, did you decide from the beginning that you wanted to be a light novel writer? Wasn't it just a hobby at first?"

"Of course." Asakura Feng nodded and said, "Studying is not a difficult thing for me, so I thought about finding something to do. My parents don't stop me from playing games, but it's impossible for me to play games all the time, so I just wrote light novels. Well... I can only say that I was lucky. I started smoothly and passed the review of Editor Nakajima. After reading the outline of my novel, he signed me and gave me the publishing qualification. Now that I think about it, Editor Nakajima's decision was really bold. He is worthy of being a veteran editor."

The two people, who had been trainee editors for some time, nodded in sync.

Although only the entries were reviewed, both of them knew that it would be very difficult to find the excellent works after sifting through the vast majority.

Some works may have a good beginning, but the outline is not good, and the author's control over the world view and plot is not good, which may cause a collapse after two or three volumes are released.

Hikigaya Hachiman has read quite a few novels of this kind in recent years.

And it was indeed a great decision for editor Nakajima to sign Asakura Kaede with a keen eye and achieve great success.

At this time, Eriri, who was sitting in the passenger seat, smiled and said, "In comparison, Shiyu's career wasn't particularly smooth, especially at the beginning, the sales of her novels weren't very good, and it took her a lot of effort to get her novels on the right track. Among the young generation of light novel writers, there really is no one who can compare to Feng-kun."

"Stop praising me. I'll get complacent. Ah, here we are."

Just then, when we arrived at the publishing house, we didn’t continue talking about this topic. After parking the car, we went straight into the publishing house.

The library is still as lively as ever.

Today was the first time that Asakura Kaede and Eriri came to the publishing house after the news of their marriage spread, so after entering, the two were immediately greeted with blessings from many library staff.

It can be said to be extremely lively.

Trigger Club, the God of JK!!!

Chapter 671 Honoka's Proposal (2/2)

Asakura Kaede can be said to be one of the most popular authors in the library, and she has a good relationship with the editors and some staff members.

After the news of my marriage came out, it would be impossible not to be surrounded if I came here again.

After dealing with everyone's enthusiasm, they finally entered the editorial department.

Moreover, the previous scene outside was replicated here.

Handing over a few bottles of Coke, Machida Sonoko said with a depressed look on her face: "You guys are really quick. I'm still single, but you two have already registered. Ah, I really can't compete with you. Sooner or later, I will be depressed to death."

After opening the Coke and taking a sip, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "Sister Yuanzi, your personal conditions are still very good. Believe me, you can definitely find your ideal partner."

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

Smiling and patting Asakura Kaede's shoulder, Machida Yuanzi asked, "By the way, has the wedding date been set?"

"It's decided. Invitations will be sent to everyone in October. Remember to come." Asakura Feng replied, "We are still in preparation. The hotel has been booked, but the wedding dress is still waiting for the designer to come and design it. The elders in the family are helping to arrange a series of other things."

Editor Nakajima, who was holding a teacup, laughed happily: "Hahaha, that's good. After all, you still have studies and work to complete. But with your financial resources and family assets, I guess the scale of the wedding will definitely be quite large, right?"

Shaking his head, Asakura Feng said, "It is indeed possible to make it a big one, but it is not necessary. It will be enough as long as it is big enough to invite relatives and friends to the event."

After saying the name of the wedding banquet hotel, Machida Sonoko said with shining eyes: "Oh! A big hotel, it looks like we will have a big meal then."

Editor Nakajima smiled bitterly and said, "It's still a few months away. What are you looking forward to now?"

"It's good to have some expectations, but..."

Shaking her head, Machida Sonoko looked at Asakura Kaede and Eriri and asked, "Have you chosen the bridesmaids yet? Do you need my help?"

As soon as Asakura Feng heard this, she immediately exposed the other person's thoughts and said with a smile: "Why, is it easier for an absolute bridesmaid to grab the bouquet?"

"Hey, I have some ideas about this."

Machida Sonoko did not deny it and admitted it frankly.

However, she was going to be disappointed. Eriri counted the bridesmaids on her fingers and said, "There are already a lot of people, more than enough! Honoka wanted to be a bridesmaid, but we rejected her. We told her to study hard and not be distracted, and then she can come to the wedding. And if Honoka is the bridesmaid, Yukiho will also come, as well as Umi and Kotonari. If the three of them come, then inevitably, we will have to invite all nine of Muses to be bridesmaids. But if that happens, the number of people will be too many."

I don’t know if Honoka has telepathy. As soon as I mentioned her, a phone call came in.

Asakura Feng answered the call and said, "Honoka, what's going on?"

There was a faint sound of music coming from the other end of the phone. It seemed that Honoka and the others were in the company's dance studio.

"Brother Feng, I have an idea!"

Honoka's excited voice came, "When it's your wedding, Brother Feng, and Sister Eriri, do you want us to put on a show during the wedding banquet?"

"Hey? You guys?"

Asakura Feng was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought of this.

He exchanged a glance with Eriri, and Eriri's eyes revealed a gleam of excitement and anticipation.

Asakura Feng knew it at a glance, and said with a smile: "Sure, I will come to your place in a while and discuss it with your agent as usual for commercial performance invitations."

"Oh~~~ There's no need to do this!"

"Of course you need it!" Asakura Feng said affirmatively, "After all, you are now a debut idol group, so it's better to go through the procedures in all aspects. Even though we have a good relationship, you still have to inform me in advance."

"That's it, then I understand."

The situation while Honoka was on the phone gradually attracted the other girls, and the phone line immediately became lively.

On the other hand, the scene where Asakura Kaede was talking on the phone with Honoka was also discovered by other editors.

Unfortunately, there were also μ's fans here. They came over immediately, their eyes shining, and wanted to have a video chat with Asakura Kaede and Honoka.

After all, the members of μ's are still focusing on their studies, and they rarely have official performances, so many fans are eagerly looking forward to it.

However, Asakura Feng naturally would not let these guys succeed. After a few simple words with Honoka, he hung up the phone, then waved to the three editors who came over and said, "Okay, don't expect anything today. They will all be here for the wedding. So, remember to prepare the money for the gift."

Under normal circumstances, attending a wedding and giving wedding gifts would be depressing.

But unfortunately, this time it's Asakura Kaede and Eriri, and among their guests is μ's, so the share of money must be paid without any ambiguity.

In addition to attending the wedding, you can also get close to μ's. This is an opportunity that most people don't have!

"OK! No problem, we will definitely come!"

“The share money is totally OK!”

"I can not wait any more!"

I have to say, even though μ's activity frequency has decreased now, their number of fans is still increasing, which is really amazing.

After talking about the wedding, Asakura Kaede started talking about work with editor Nakajima.

Eriri, who did not get involved, came to Yukinoshita Yukino with a Coke in her hand.

Looking at Yukino's computer screen, Eriri asked quietly, "How is the screening of the entries going?"

"There is only one last bit left, and the first round of screening can be completed."

“Are there any good works?”

"Yes, but it's not good enough to be published directly. It's just that the setting is pretty good, but the writing is still a little lacking." Yukino commented, "Of course, if it wins a prize in the end, it shouldn't be a problem to publish it after some careful revisions under the guidance of the editor. But I've only seen three such works so far, which is really too few."

"Well, after all, it's a newcomer award, and it's a competition for new authors. It's great to find a good one."

Although she is not a novelist, Eriri has learned a little about the subject from Asakura Kaede.

It’s not easy to get into the light novel industry these days.

Chapter 672 No One Can Reject the Giant of Light (1/2)

Although Eriri's study efficiency is not very high, her speed in reading novels is still quite good. She can even keep up with Yukinoshita Yukino's review speed and quickly finished reading the participating novel in front of her.

But after reading it, Eriri fell into deep thought.

"I didn't expect that you would be more restrained, Yukino. This novel is really more than just a little bit bad. Isn't it too childish?"

That’s right, it’s a chuunibana movie, and it’s too chuunibana. It’s so outrageous that Eriri had to endure the discomfort while watching the whole movie.

After thinking it over for a while, Yukino said, "Well...it's actually not that bad. I've seen even more outrageous things."

As she spoke, she directly put the novel into the folder of eliminated entries.

When she first started working, she still needed to discuss various issues about the novel with Machida Sonoko, but now that she has become proficient, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department also knows Yukino's level, so he directly gave Yukino the authority in this regard and let her decide for herself.

The second novel was better, not so childish, and the writing was acceptable, but it was still a bit stiff in some places.

After reading it, Yukino nodded and said, "This is still okay. There are no major problems throughout the whole article. The subject matter is also OK. However, it is still difficult to pass the second round. It depends on luck."

After saying that, he put it in the folder that passed the preliminary selection.

After reading two articles, Eriri couldn't continue reading anymore. She rubbed her eyes, stood up, walked to Asakura Kaede, and sat down quietly.

Asakura Kaede, who was chatting with editor Nakajima about overseas distribution, noticed Eriri coming over. She raised her hand and gently rubbed Eriri's little head, let her lean on her shoulder, and then continued chatting with editor Nakajima.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, they finally discussed the solutions to the problems they encountered, and Asakura Kaede and Eriri prepared to leave.

After finishing the remaining Coke, Asakura looked at Hikigaya and asked, "How are you going to have dinner? Are you going to eat at home or out?"

"Go home and eat." Hikigaya Hachiman replied, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, "Sister Haruno will cook dinner tonight."

“She can cook?”

"Yeah, she can do it." Hikigaya Hachiman nodded. "She's actually pretty good, but she can only cook a few things. It's okay to ask her to do it once or twice, but after doing it too many times, she'll get tired of it."

"I see. Since you guys are going back to eat, then Eriri and I will go home and eat as well."

Looking at Eriri, Asakura Feng said with a smile, "Let's go buy some groceries first."

"Uh-huh!"

After saying goodbye to everyone in the editorial department, Asakura Kaede and Eriri left the library.

On the way to the supermarket, Eriri asked, "Kaede-kun, if you choose to write light novels, what kind of job will you do in the future?"

"me?"

Asakura Feng had never thought about this question specifically, so he began to think about it seriously.

"Well... apart from novels, if I were to choose a future job, it would first have to be something that interests me. Of course, many people's jobs nowadays are not what they are interested in. If I really had to choose, I would probably choose programming, such as making games. I originally thought about learning game planning and then making games with Miyazaki the old thief."

"Making games is indeed a good job, especially if you like games." Eriri said with a smile, "But you really have a bad taste when you go and make games with Miyazaki, old thief! Feng-kun!"

"Because it's fun, isn't it?"

Speaking of this, Asakura Feng smiled happily, "Look, whether it's Dark Souls, Sekiro, Bloodborne, or even the upcoming Aiden Ring, these are all game types that I like very much. On the contrary, those manufacturers in Europe and the United States are only making some so-called open world games. In my opinion, they are quite homogenized and I am not interested in playing them. After all, not every game can be called Breath of the Wild. In comparison, creating sufficiently interesting mechanisms and game processes within a limited map, I think these are the elements that a good game should have."

Listening to Asakura Kaede's explanation, Eriri nodded in agreement. They both loved playing games, and whenever they had free time after work, they would find some new games or old games to play.

There are some open world games that are well done, but they are still too few. Many of them are large and empty, or highly repetitive. They may be interesting in the first few hours, but will gradually become boring later on.

That’s right, I’m talking about you, Ubisoft.

"Then Feng Jun, will you suddenly become interested in making games in the future?"

"Well, maybe it's possible." Asakura Feng smiled, "Who can say what will happen in the future? Maybe someday a game company will ask me to write a script for the game. Look at senior sister Shiyu, hasn't she already written a script for a TV series?"
