If I don't capture the girl, I will die

Looking at it this way, the sales of Sword Art Online aren’t that great?

But it's completely different.

The statistics above are total sales, which means that the sales are so high even if the anime version has more than ten volumes. Sword Art Online has only been on sale for less than two months, with two volumes of the anime version, and it has not received the same publicity and animation as the old big names. Even with Kadokawa's overwhelming publicity, which seems to have found a treasure, the momentum is still growing rapidly.

It is really amazing to achieve such sales volume. The sales volume is much higher than most novels.

If nothing unexpected happens, the animation is a foregone conclusion. Not only that, the trend of Sword Art Online is that it will become a masterpiece. It is just around the corner for it to become one of Kadokawa's pillars.

Come to think of it, she is almost surpassed by Ji Qi?

After all, her sales were the cumulative total of more than a dozen volumes, and even after being adapted into an animation, it barely reached two million.

This is the limit of the work.

Although he usually looks nonchalant and doesn't care about anything, he has been in this industry for a long time and has a clear understanding of the development of the works through what he has seen and heard.

It can be said that the status of the two is now completely equal. Even if it is a joke, Ilf does not have much confidence to put on a condescending attitude towards Ji Qi.

As for the agreement they made when they first met, she had long forgotten it.

……

PS: When I woke up, Saint Hui lost... My heart aches so much, today I decided to write a sequel about Hui to comfort myself (；′⌒`)

Chapter 212 Should I be so embarrassed?

"Did you misunderstand something? When I said write together, I meant that I, like you, have to start writing manuscripts recently. I didn't mean that we should stay together and write."

Ji Qi was speechless about Yamada Ilf's ability to understand.

How on earth did this guy write a novel with such high sales? And can you really write a good novel with someone else? Ilf will definitely be unable to resist asking him to play games with her in the middle of the story, right? It will definitely end up like this.

"..."

Yamada Elf's fair little face turned red instantly.

Ahhh! How rude! So embarrassing. Really, this guy can't even consider a girl's face! Will he die if he considers a girl's face!

"What did you do for so long just now?" Seeing Elf's look, Ji Qi didn't continue teasing her and asked curiously.

"Isn't it normal for girls to waste some time dressing up?"

Yamada Ilfu raised her eyebrows. Pointed ears, petite figure, delicate facial features, and even her eyebrows were a thin golden color. Yamada Ilfu gave herself the pen name Fairy, which was really appropriate.

"What are you wearing?" Ji Qi didn't refute this. He looked at Ilf from head to toe and found that she was no different from usual. She was still wearing the familiar Lolita outfit.

Elf fell silent again.

She decided not to discuss this topic with Ji Qi anymore.

Perhaps it was the natural difference in the values ​​of men and girls that Ji Qi had a rare tacit understanding with her.

In the silent air, he took out his cell phone.

Ten past eight.

They still have fifteen minutes.

If you don't want to be late, start jogging to school from now on and you will most likely be in time.

If I go a little later, I can catch a ride and the time is just enough.

What will Yukinoshita choose?

For someone like Yukinoshita who sets correct creeds for herself and strictly adheres to them, she will definitely not be late or absent from classes unless something unexpected happens.

Not only that, while having the right ideas, they will also correct other people's mistakes. That is, they try not to let people they know be late. He and Mashiro should be in this group.

Such as now.

Yukinoshita was holding the hand of Mashiro, who was wearing a neat school uniform, and walking hurriedly towards the bathroom.

When she inspected Elf yesterday, she memorized the location.

If you count the time for washing and eating...it will definitely be late. And Mashiro is not in the same school as them, so she can only rely on Yamada Elf to take her to school.

A loli goes to send off a girl who is a few years older than her.

It feels weird.

Is it really a bit inappropriate to leave Mashiro to Ilf? It's not that there is a problem with her taking care of him, it's mainly because of her age...

Looking at the three girls who were busy together, Ji Qi thought leisurely.

five minutes later.

Yukinoshita took five minutes to help Mashiro finish her morning routine and tidied up her hair, which was like a bird's nest. In exchange, Mashiro's fair face showed a slightly complaining expression. Maybe Yukinoshita pursued speed and efficiency and didn't care too much about her feelings.

Unbelievable.

This message was expressed in Ilf's pupils. Maybe Ji Qi has not directly experienced Mashiro's problem, but she has a profound experience!

Everything was done in just five minutes. This woman who always gave people a cold feeling was so amazing.

Apart from eating breakfast, Yukinoshita had almost finished her work and looked at the time.

Sighed.

Even if she tried to shorten the time as much as possible, it was still too late. There was no way she could catch up.

"Leave the rest to me. Mashiro may not understand many things since it's her first time studying in Japan, and she also needs to greet the teachers. Someone has to do these things. You go to school first, and ask for leave for me." Ji Qi tapped on the wooden escalator with his fingers and said to Yukinoshita.

For students, attending classes is a natural thing and skipping classes is wrong.

However, no matter who you are, there will be special circumstances, and it is understandable to take time off occasionally.

It is wrong to skip classes, but it is right to ask for leave with a legitimate reason and approval from the school teacher.

This is a principle that makes sense everywhere. Ji Qi didn't think Yukinoshita would be so rigid.

Hearing this suggestion, Yukinoshita hesitated. What Ji Qi said made sense. Even if someone had handled the formalities for Mashiro in advance, there would inevitably be many problems when going to school for the first time. Probably for ordinary students, this was not a big deal, but it was different for Mashiro. In just one day, she clearly saw the innocence of this girl and her ignorance of the world.

If you think deeply about Mashiro's personality, it can actually be scary.

Her brain circuits are so strange that she can't even tell the difference between men and women. This means that if someone with bad intentions comes into contact with her, who is like a blank sheet of paper and a pet, it will cause very unimaginable consequences.

Even though she took advantage of this short period of time to help Mashiro dress and wash, and also told Mashiro many things, she really had no idea whether the other party had remembered them.

At this time, it would be best if someone could teach Mashiro the most basic common sense.

Ilf was ignored by Yukinoshita at first because she was too young and her personality was not good enough.

If Ji Qi hadn't been sitting very close to him next door, Yukinoshita would have sent Mashiro home.

Then, there were only two candidates left. One was her, and the other was Ji Qi.

She was prioritized first. After all, she was Mashiro's cousin and a girl.

Yukinoshita is still very relieved about Ji Qi, who is very mature and steady most of the time.

She wanted to come by herself, but the problem was that she had to go to school today.

Ji Qi was right. Xuexia thought skipping classes was wrong. In fact, she had never skipped a class without a reason since junior high school.

If others have reasons to ask for leave, Yukinoshita will agree.

But she herself was different. She would not ask for leave without a reason she recognized.

For Yukinoshita, who is very determined, this is not just a question of skipping classes or not, but a belief that she has held on to for a long time.

If it was the weekend or if Himechi was not around, Yukinoshita would indeed take a leave of absence from class to teach.

Because the importance of both sides is completely different. However, for the perfectionist Yukinoshita, there will inevitably be a small flaw on the road of justice.

Now Ji Qi has made a better choice for her.

Anyway, he doesn't care about such trivial matters as asking for leave or skipping classes, and neither do the teachers and classmates. Since his grades have improved a lot recently, the teachers are fine, and other people may not have noticed it at all.

Thinking of this, for some reason, Yukinoshita felt a little uncomfortable.

(This is a side story, completely unrelated to the main story, it is a completely new world line!)

'This is a story that belongs only to us.'

Seeing the last few words on the computer screen, Ji Qi let out a long sigh.

Finally, it was completed the day before the deadline.

The exhaustion from the continuous rush to finish the manuscripts for the past two days made his brain a little dizzy, but he felt extremely satisfied in his heart.

This is his novel.

This is her novel.

After carefully saving the manuscript, Ji Qi stood up, stretched his body, and shouted happily. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a small, neatly folded note on the simple computer desk.

Ji Qi sat down again and took out the note, looking at the gentle handwriting on it.

'I made your favorite dish and put it in the refrigerator. Remember to heat it up before eating, otherwise I will be angry. I am going to buy something. If I come back late, I will call you. Finally, I am looking forward to the ending of the novel. Hui. '

Kato Megumi.

His college classmate, his live-in girlfriend, the person he would marry a year later, and the heroine of the novel.

It is now two years after graduating from high school. His current goal is to work hard to save enough money for him and Miss Kato to live a worry-free life in the next life. The setting is roughly that of a time traveler who has lost both parents, no sister and a house. What year is this year? I can't remember it clearly. Anyway, it doesn't matter.

Sometimes he even forgot his setting.

Because he has something more important.

For example, Kato Megumi, his future wife, and his girlfriend.

Huh? It seems like everyone is here alone?

It's ok.

Where the heart is at peace is my hometown.

The two met for the first time on a spring day.

The blue sky is filled with white clouds and pink petals scattered among them.

On the cherry blossom avenue that stretched for nearly a hundred meters, cherry blossom petals were flying, and there was a girl wearing a white beret and a white dress, whose name he didn't know and whom he had never met before.

Finally, the hat was blown to his feet by the wind.

At that moment, my heart started beating wildly, and my eyes were involuntarily drawn there, unable to look away.

A fateful encounter.

From the beginning to the end, Ji Qi thought so.

Never changed.

Therefore, the very proactive Ji Qi decided to use this scene that made his heart move so much as the beginning of his new novel.

His profession is a light novel writer.

Although he is a time traveler, he is not a plagiarist.

It's not that he doesn't want to copy, but he can't. All the works that should exist in this world are there, and his memory is not as good as other time travelers. Rather than risk being reported, it's better to create something original.

He had been writing online articles for seven or eight years, so he was quite confident about writing and the market.

After using the scene of their encounter on the ramp as a template for his creation, Ji Qi noticed a problem - how should he write the heroine?

After all, she is the core of the story.

It would be nice if we could meet.

That’s what he thought at the time.

Later, perhaps the voice of fate heard his heart, and by chance, he really met this girl again.

The two are still classmates.

So, one day after school, under the setting sun, he shamelessly made a request to the girl who was not at all conspicuous at that time.
