Just when Hashima Itsuki and editor Kentaro Toki were discussing.
As the entries about the ending of "Four Lies" completely dominated the hot searches on major social platforms and forums.
Countless irritable guys bluntly said that they wanted to read Dengeki Bunko alone.
They wanted to send razor blades to Ikaros.
"Four Lies" dominated the limelight of all light novels.
It really went viral.
"Silver Love Season" was instantly squeezed out of the hot search list.
Even those who don't read "Four Lies"!
also knew the result.
After all, many students already had a grudge against the notorious Ikaros because of the additional test "A Bowl of Clear Soup Soba".
Of course, it can't be separated from Kulala's fans!
If it was just MEM Chu-chan, it would be fine, but even Kulala was made to cry!
How can this be tolerated! ! !
Therefore, the rating and reputation of "Four Lies" were rapidly declining. The first batch of "Four Lies" sold in remote areas on the Internet and the second batch sold in the evening were refunded in large numbers.
Adhering to the consistent system of collective responsibility, it even affected the sales of the other four works.
Dengeki Bunko, emergency meeting room.
All editors attended the meeting.
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki sat on the sofa in the main seat, looking forward. The silence has lasted for a long time, and almost everyone bowed their heads.
"This is the first time we have encountered such a major crisis in three years." Editor-in-Chief Suzuki tapped the table with his fingers, "The sales of all our works have declined together, and we are about to fall out of the top five. The prospect of offline channel sales tomorrow is also precarious."
Frustration is as heavy as a mountain.
In the past, with Senjumura Masaru's "Phantom Blade", their Dengeki Bunko has always been the source of disputes on the Oricon chart.�home.
Even in the season when Senjumura Masaru did not release a new work, they had never experienced such a serious Waterloo.
"I don't think we lost!" An editor raised his hand angrily and said, "Some of my editors indulged their own authors to add to the story, and even appeared nakedly surrendering to the enemy in the new book interview, and dragged other works of the same library into the water!"
Obviously, they threw all the current responsibilities to the "Four Lies" that everyone on the Internet called for!
Suddenly, the crowd was excited!
The editors whispered to each other!
They felt that this was really unfair to them. They did nothing and were dragged into the water by the Kagurazaka group.
The annual light novel summer season is a good time for major companies to seize the market for a year.
During this period, the major libraries can be said to be full of swords and swords, and the killing was tragic.
Especially their Dengeki Library!
In the light novel world, it is definitely a well-known figure.
They firmly believe!
If "Four Lies" hadn't held them back, even if they couldn't catch up with GAGA Library, they wouldn't have fallen out of the top five.
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki glanced at Kagurazaka Ayame who lowered her head and remained silent.
Sighed softly.
He had his own ideas when he agreed at the beginning, but the current impact is indeed a headache.
"How do you plan to deal with this matter now?"
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki's voice was very calm.
Although he was actually very optimistic about "Four Lies", as the editor-in-chief, he had to give an explanation to the other two editors anyway.
"GAGA Library is definitely aiming for the first place, but if "Four Lies" can interrupt the promotion rhythm of GAGA Library, our brothers willMy younger brother's work might have a better chance."
Kagurazaka prepared her words carefully and said it with a stiff upper lip.
She originally thought that "Firefly Forest" could be used as a precedent!
Even if the niche ending of "Four Lies" discouraged many people, the sales should still be able to maintain a qualified range.
But she really didn't expect that the readers' reaction was much more intense than she imagined, so much so that even the works of the two editors next door were dragged down.
Tapling the table lightly with his fingers, and looking at the two editors next to him who were also silent, Editor-in-Chief Suzuki whispered again:
"Hehe, Kagurazaka, your idea is really a bit hasty… But it's not entirely your fault."
"How about this, some of the publicity and publishing resources that should have been allocated to your department in July, just allocate part of them to the other two editors, and then our goal for this summer season does not need to be the first, but the top three! As long as you can help them get the top three, it will be considered as your merits and redemption! "
"But if you can't even meet this target, even I can't help you smooth things over in front of the president and others. At that time, I will demote you for a period of time to train you, and then come back to be your editor-in-chief."
"Okay."
Kagurazaka took a deep breath. Since she and Takakawa finalized the release process of the second volume of "Four Lies", she has made relevant psychological preparations.
Moreover, everyone knows that this elegant editor-in-chief Suzuki likes to say nice things.
If you really don't meet the target and really want to return to the editor-in-chief position in a year or two, it will definitely be unrealistic.
Hearing this, those who don't get along well with KagurazakaThe editors all looked surprised, and then smiled at each other.
Kagurazaka has many good authors under his command!
Even if the account of Ikaros is useless, there is still the orthodox Thunder God writer Senjumura Makoto.
If Kagurazaka fails to meet the target!
If he is really demoted from the position of editor-in-chief, then the editors and authors of the Kagurazaka group will have a chance to get involved.
…
This military order-like thing soon spread throughout the Dengeki Library.
As the score of "Four Lies" continued to decline!
In the office of the Kagurazaka group, all the editors, including Fujii Yuuna, were immediately anxious.
They finally saw Kagurazaka coming back from the meeting, and his eyes were filled with tears: "Boss, I heard that you signed a military order and are leaving the position of editor-in-chief?!"
Hearing what his subordinates said, Kagurazaka rolled his eyes directly: "No, it's not good for you to curse me like this!"
"Do you think we should contact Mr. Ikaros and let him come forward to finalize the ending of the remake of "Four Lies", so that readers may be more accepting?"
Kagurazaka frowned and said firmly: "No need to change, and can't change!"
"But… the current evaluation of us on the Internet…"
Kagurazaka forced a smile and said: "Isn't the original intention of our Kagurazaka team to publish a good work for everyone?"
"Although the readers now have lost their minds, we can't lose our minds!"
"The current ending is the most perfect ending for "Four Lies". If Xiaoxun didn't die, then Kousei's growth would collapse, and he just returned to his childhood.It's just the stage of playing the piano for his mother, but he just replaced his mother Arima Saki with Miyazono Kaoru! "
"And, if Ikaros is willing to change, then he is not Teacher Ikaros!"
In Kagurazaka's view, the theme of "Four Lies" has always been growth. A fledgling always needs to leave his mother's feeding, and a boy always needs to leave others' support.
And, most importantly!
Just after the meeting, Editor-in-Chief Suzuki left her alone for two minutes!
Explained to her!
The military order he made to her in public just now was just to ease the internal conflicts of the editor.
And he also believed in the current plot of "Four Lies". After he read it, he even directly defined "Four Lies" as a masterpiece of the level of "Phantom Blade"!
Otherwise, he would not have gone against the crowd to put "Four Lies" on sale in July. At that time, there were many works that were no less than the other four works that could be scheduled, but he put All other works have been withdrawn.
Besides, it is only the first day of July, and the audience's outburst of emotions will always dissipate. Who knows what the ending will be? !
He believes that the current bad reviews, negative reviews, tower rushes, and returns are all temporary, and the climax of the second volume of "Four Lies" has not really arrived.
A true masterpiece, even if it is in the deep sea and covered with mud at the beginning, will not be knocked down by rumors.
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki's words, and then recalling Gao Chuanshuo's extremely firm persistence at the beginning!
It immediately gave her a lot of confidence!
…
At this time, the discussion on the Internet intensified.
Many Dengeki Bunko official accounts, and even the official accounts of Dengeki Bunko authors, have countless readers downloading��Leave a message.
I hope Ikaros can change the plot.
Change Xiaoxun's ending.
However, both Dengeki Bunko and Gaochuan himself turned a blind eye.
Gaochuan certainly turned a deaf ear!
Thanks to MEM啾, a kind man, who brought in Kulala, who has many fans, to live broadcast together, the emotional value of the second volume of "Four Lies" increased several times.
But the weird thing is——
Even though they kept scolding, after scolding, they couldn't help but buy back the returned "Four Lies".
No other reason, just because this book is really well written.
While reading the novel, crying and scolding, even with the crying slices of MEM啾 sauce, who is very popular on YouTube, and watching the opponent's defense breaking scene!
It can be said that the scene is extremely weird.
…
On the other side, MEM啾's home.
Since MEM啾 sauce kept crying, the live broadcast could not continue, and Kulala quickly shut down the live broadcast.
Then she comforted MEM啾.
However!
MEM啾 couldn't stop her tears, until she cried for more than an hour and felt her voice was a little hoarse, and then she felt a little better.
"啾 sauce, drink some water, don't be too sad."
MEM啾 nodded and choked:
"Thank you, Kulala."
MEM啾 drank the warm water in the cup!
The mood was still a little low: "Kulala, aren't you sad? Xiaoxun is dead." (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"It's still quite sad." Kulala shook her head, "but the plot of Ikaros is well written and very serious, and I like it too."
MEM啾 opened her eyes�Almond eyes, unbelievable:
"Kurara-chan, you don't have a fever, do you? Xiaoxun is dead. You were so angry that you cried for a while just now. You actually said that you like the crappy work "Four Lies"?!"
Kurara looked at MEM啾 helplessly:
"Don't worry about this. After all, you know from the new book interview that this work is not only completed by Ikaros teacher alone. He discussed this matter with Kanayuta teacher, which means that Kanayuta teacher also highly recognizes this ending. Otherwise, how could Ikaros give her a high evaluation in the new book interview, right? The editor of Dengeki Bunko is the same…"
"And why are we so sad? Isn't it because Ikaros teacher wrote this story and this character very well, making you feel reluctant to part?"
0Please give flowers0
MEM啾 was silent. She felt that what Kurara said was still reasonable.
"Even if you say that, I am still very angry!"
"I, I'm going to take a shower!"
…
Bathroom
With her wet short hair wrapped in a towel, MEM啾's two slender legs were placed in the bathtub.
However, at this moment, her eyes were all on browsing the information on the Internet on her mobile phone.
She found out. []
With the closure of her own live broadcast, all major social platforms, forums, and blogs have been completely dominated by entries related to "Four Lies".
Of course!
Almost every entry has two sentences about her being stabbed and crying.
MEM啾: "…"
She remembered that she had said before the broadcast that she would definitely not be stabbed and cried this time, and now she wanted to find a crack in the bathroom floor to crawl into.
"Yes, this is not…"��I blame it all on the old thief Ikaros and that damned Karinayuta!!!”
But in fact, besides her, there are many YouTubers who were stabbed and cried.
Among them, the most famous one is Kuroneko-chan.
She said she would send razor blades to the old thief Ikaros, and also said she would raise funds to find professionals to kidnap the old thief Ikaros, lock him in a small dark room and let him change the ending.
Looking at her, I felt relieved a lot!!!
Then she decisively opened her social platform and edited a message:
"Old thief Ikaros, Karinayuta, you have no heart!!! ”
Her current account was already on the hot search list, attracting the attention of countless people, so her defense-breaking complaint.
It was also sent to the hot search list again in the first time, and everyone also comforted and sympathized with her account.
But she was in no mood to read these messages.
She lay in the bathtub, looking at the ceiling, and suddenly remembered the scene where Xiaoxun kicked Kousei.
She immediately became angry again and picked up her phone to edit another message:
"Don't let me find him, otherwise I will definitely kick him hard!"
"Oh! And Kannayuta will also kick him. Although Ikaros is not a human, Kannayuta is definitely not a good thing either!"
"Execute together! "
……
In the living room.
Kulala was rereading "Four Lies".
Suddenly, the bathroom door was kicked open by someone, as if kicking someone.
Kulala looked at the angry MEM啾.
Kulala remembered the two IGs that the other party had just posted on her account, and she laughed immediately.
"啾酱, the bathroom door is not Teacher Ikaros��There is teacher Kanayuta. ”
“Kurara-chan, you haven’t gone back yet.” The woman was a little embarrassed.
“Well, I saw your IG and was a little worried about you.” Kurara nodded and said, “Are you still unhappy?”
MEM啾 shook her head and sighed:
“Actually, I have let it go now. If I think about it carefully, “Four Lies” is actually quite well written.”
Kurara held MEM啾 in her arms and patted her back gently:
“It’s okay. Just like Teacher Ikaros said, Xiaoxun must have gone to heaven. Don’t worry.
“Let’s sleep together tonight.”
MEM啾 nodded. In fact, they said they were sleeping together, but in fact they really slept together.
They would not do anything strange to each other.
At most, they would talk about their private conversations.
MEM啾 got into the bed, but Kurara sat on the bed and continued to read “Four Lies” under the night light next to her.
"Isn't Kulala still asleep?" MEM啾 asked.
Kulala shook her head: "I plan to help "Four Lies" and Teacher Ikaros."
"Tsk, he's not a teacher, he's just a heartless old thief!"
"Jiu-chan, you can't be so disrespectful to others."
"Okay, okay, I'll just call him teacher." Seeing Kulala's serious expression, MEM啾 admitted defeat.
Found that Kulala was busy again with her head down.
She was also a little curious, so she got up and sat over to hug him: "Kulala-chan, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to post a dynamic like you."
MEM啾's face was happy, and she thought Kulala was also going to vent her emotions to Teacher Ikaros like her.
But she leaned overAt first glance, I found that it was completely different from her two dynamics.
It was a long article!
In this long article, there is a long paragraph, from the name of the novel to the analysis of the suicide note at the end.
Every word in it reveals her love for "Four Lies" and the regret of the ending.
She explained to fans the excellence of "Four Lies" word by word, which is completely different from the short story "Firefly Forest" she commented on before.
In fact, due to the length of the article, "Firefly Forest" is not as full as "Four Lies".
Due to the number of words, many things must be saved, and the structure is not as complete as "Four Lies"!
Finally, she also publicly stated.
She likes the character of Xiaoxun very much, and this work is also excellent, and it is very likely to be animated.
If possible, she can be the voice actor of Xiaoxun after the animation.
