It is almost noon.
As today’s Oricon chart is about to be released!
All major libraries are in a low-pressure atmosphere.
This tense and uneasy atmosphere!
GAGA Library seems to be even worse…
So much so that since the start of work this morning, the voices of greetings between colleagues in various departments of GAGA Library have become much lighter.
Especially in the editorial department of GAGA Library.
Mainly in recent years, after Senjumura Makoto debuted in Dengeki Bunko!
The performance of their library in the Oricon chart has not been satisfactory.
The upper management has been furious more than once.
Because of this reason, the quarterly bonuses of many related departments have been cut!
But there is no way!
The other party became a Thunder God writer by relying on the sales of a single work…
Thirteen volumes of "Fantasy Demon Sword Legend"!
More than 12 million sales, two animations!
Who can compete with Senjumura Masayuki?
It was not until the beginning of the year that Senjumura Masayuki announced a year-long break after releasing the 13th volume!
That’s when they saw an opportunity!
The social economy is not good, and for everyone’s life to be better…
Everyone in the company sincerely hopes that before Senjumura Masayuki comes back, their GA library can be strong again!
Who knew that just after Senjumura Masayuki left, there came another Burning Ikaros…
Two big news before the new book was released!
It made the newcomers and old people in their library completely breathless…
The fear of being shrouded by Senjumura Masayuki!
Revived in their hearts again!
Especially the editor-in-chief who had just issued a military order!
I couldn’t sit still!
That’s why they sent first-line authors to target Dengeki Bunko…
Originally, they had great confidence!
But after the incident with Hoshino Kurara last night!
They panicked…
Although the post was deleted early in the morning.
But the news had already spread widely on the Internet, which made them worried about it.
If Burning Ikaros stepped on the first-line authors of their bunko and won the championship in May…
Where would the face of their bunko be!
So!
This must not happen!
Two hours before the Oricon chart was released.
GAGA Bunko editor-in-chief and Toki Kentaro had been locking themselves in the office.
Toki Kentaro not long ago!
I also received a slightly depressed call from Hashima Itsuki, and learned that "Four Lies" was sold out in Fangyuan Store…687.
He sighed…
"Four Lies"The momentum was too big.
So big that they also lost some confidence in themselves…
After all, that was Hoshino Kurara…
In the light novel circle, there is almost a person who can be compared with the popularity of child star Sakurajima Mai.
It is really not that easy to win.
"……"
"Ding ding ding…"
The alarm of the opening of the Oricon chart sounded.
It was twelve o’clock after all.
Toki Kentaro swallowed his saliva and turned off the alarm.
He looked up at his editor-in-chief.
"Let the data department report!" The editor-in-chief opened his eyes and looked at Toki Kentaro.
Toki Kentaro nodded and turned on the screen of his mobile phone.
He called the data department.
…
At this moment, it was not just Toki Kentaro.
GAGA Bunko!
Even the light novel industry!
All members of the data department!
At this moment, they are all aiming at this official list that has just been updated…
Light novel public trust list!
The person in charge of checking data in the data department of GAGA Bunko!
It is a young man wearing thick black-framed glasses, a plaid shirt, and a black backpack, who looks like a programmer.
He was a little nervous at first…
But soon he was all smiles.
First place:
"Sister Magic War!", author Hashima Itsuki!
Sales: 26,545 copies!
Second place:
"White Love Season", author Watano Kohei.
Sales: 24,489 copies!
Third place:
"High Score Soda Bottle Girl", author Hayami Sakura.
Sales: 21081 copies!
Fourth place:
"Your Lie in April", author 1 Burning Icarus!
Sales: 19968 copies!
……
"Editor Toki, I want to congratulate you!"
"Our company’s work has already ranked first on the Oricon chart!"
"We have already topped the chart this month!"
"……"
Speaking at the same time.
Office.
Kentaro Toki soon received the faxed data.
"Topped?"
"I’m afraid this is only a short-lived glory…"
The data department members were immediately dissatisfied.
"No, Editor Toki!"
"Don’t curse yourself when there’s nothing to do…"
"Unless something unexpected happens, the day a work is released is often the day with the highest sales of a work."
"We have suppressed Watano Kohei of Fujimi Shoten."
"Just keep the advantage!"
"Our "Sister Magic War" is the champion of May…….”
“……”
Toki Kentaro looked at the fourth place on the data report and shook his head.
“We sold 26,000 copies a day through all channels online and offline.”
“That’s really impressive!”
“But do you know how many copies the fourth place sold?”
“……”
The data department member pushed his glasses.
He frowned as he looked at the data on the computer.
“Almost 20,000 copies, nearly 7,000 copies lower than us.”
“What’s wrong? ”
This result is not too bad.
Twenty thousand copies per day is a threshold. If it is exceeded, it will be a big hit.
But compared with the first place "Sister Magic War"!
And the second place "White Love Season"…
It is still slightly inferior.
Kentaro Toki heard this.
He laughed at the phone.
"Some works can sell 27,000 copies because their strength is roughly selling 27,000 copies…"
"And some works sell close to 20,000 copies! ”
“Because after deducting the transportation loss, they only have so many copies…”
“…”
“What the hell…”
The data department members were a little confused.
When he saw the data of the fourth place, he suddenly realized…
So it turned out that Editor Toki!
He was worried about the work of Dengeki Bunko!
He suddenly laughed.
“Editor Toki is worthy of being an old editor. His mentality is really stable.”
“So he is worried that we will fail…”
“But you don’t have to think too much. The first sales performance of "Four Lies" is good.”
“But don’t worry, his subsequent performance should not be as good as today’s performance! ”
“……”
Hearing this!
Kentaro Toki was suddenly stunned!
“Why……”
“It was snapped up not long after it was released, and some people even paid more for it on the second-hand platform!”
“Their sales volume should not be saturated yet……”
“How can it be inferior to today’s sales volume!”
“……”
Hearing Kentaro Toki’s words!
The data department member smiled, and he said in an unfathomable manner:
“Editor Toki!”
“You didn’t have time to read the online forum……” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“Now on the forum! ”
“The reviews of this book seem to be too mixed, and the clothes are about to explode…”
“…”
Hearing the other party’s words, Kentaro Toki was dumbfounded!
He widened his eyes! []
“How is this possible! ”
“InThe magazine has been preliminarily tested by the market, and the probability of a failure after release is extremely close to 0%……"
"……"
"But not zero!"
The voice of the data department member is unfathomable……
"Editor Toki, if you don’t believe me, you can go to the forum to check it out yourself. I have something else to do here, so I’ll hang up first! ”
“Please contact me if you have anything…”
“…”
“Beep, beep…”
The sound of the phone being hung up came!
Toki Kentaro hesitated and glanced at the phone in his hand.
“Why did “Four Lies” explode? What is Dengeki Bunko doing…”
“No…I have to go and see…”
He turned on the computer for some reason.
“If it’s true, there will be something interesting to watch…”
“…”
Sobu High School, as school was over (bffd) The bell rang.
Takagawa Saku also came to the Service Club Activity Room…
Takagawa Saku received a call from the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka shortly after noon, and learned that the first print of "Four Lies" had exploded…
This made Takagawa Saku himself a little surprised.
The popularity of "Four Lies"!
And the performance after the release was higher than he expected…
After he knew that he was being targeted by other libraries, he still didn’t plan to spend time on publicity.
In addition to being lazy and busy…
In fact, he felt that as long as it was officially released, with the quality of "Four Lies", sales would be high. The quantity will surely increase slowly…
The opponent can’t target him at all, or he is strong enough and is not afraid of being targeted.
After all, it can be seen from the readers’ feedback during the rookie award that "Four Lies" is definitely not out of the public aesthetics of this world…
So he originally planned to take it slow.
But the sales volume exploded on the first day of the release, so that he himself couldn’t buy "Four Lies"…
"…"
Takagawa Shuo was a little speechless. Although he had a more precious sample in his hand!
But he still had to prepare a few ordinary "Four Lies" for the service department.
|= |
Or in other situations!
Used to make others depressed…
However, I heard from Hikigaya and Zaimokuza that the batch of emergency reprints today will be sold on the Dengeki Bunko online store at 15:30 in the afternoon.
In order to worry about not being able to get it!
Just now they came to Takagawa Saku and asked him to appeal to everyone in the Service Club.
Let’s fight for "Four Lies" with them.
Takagawa Saku thought about it. I think it’s feasible.
He told Yukino, Ogata and others about this.
"…"
Fumino Furuhashi was not very interested in light novels, but she learned from Takagawa Saku that "Four Lies"Lie"!
I suddenly became curious!
"Hey, even that Hoshino Kurara likes this work……."
"Then I am quite curious!"
"Stardust Witch Meruru" is a national animation!
She has naturally come into contact with it more or less, and Kurara has always been very popular……
She also likes a cute girl who is about her age.
"……"
Ogata Rizu was holding a Ubongo toy.
She glanced at Takagawa Saku.
"Everyone plays Ubongo with me……"
"Of course, I have no problem with it!"
"And Takagawa, reading light novels can help me better understand the characters’ emotions, right……"
"……"
Takagawa Saku glanced at Ogata Rizu.
Smiled.
"I’m sure you will. If you read carefully, light novels will definitely make it easier to understand the characters’ emotions than Chinese textbooks…"
"…"
Ogata Rizu nodded.
She lowered her head and started playing the board game called Ubongo.
"…"
Dumplings are no problem!
She agreed after saying it…
But Yukino seems to have a hard time. As a modern person…
She is actually a bit of an electronics idiot. She can’t handle the overly complicated operations on her phone…
As a newbie, if she wants to buy something on an online store, she has to bind a bank card or something. Gao Chuan Shuo glanced at the time on her phone…
But it’s almost time for the sale. It must be too late!
Gao Chuan Shuo thought about it!
Let her read by herself……
"……"
Yukino sat quietly by the window, holding a thick book in her hands……
Looked a little cold and melancholy.
Her eyes were not on the book, but on Gaochuan Shuo who was gathered with a few people next to her.
"……"
There were not many people in the activity room of the service department before.
But she could read all the time……
She didn’t feel bored.
Especially the book "Oz" that she found recently, in which a little girl was forced to be involved in the magic world in order to protect her dog.
And she wanted to escape from this world!
She had to defeat the black witch with the friends she met along the way.
She thought it was very interesting!
In just a few days, she was almost seeing the finale……
And Gaochuan Shuo would come over from time to time!
Occasionally we chat together, occasionally we do commissioned tasks together, occasionally we tell her something interesting…
Now.
In addition to Gao Chuan Shuo, there are obviously a few more people in the service club.
She turned her head and looked out the window where the sun was shining.
Outside the window, the wind blew the green leaves swaying, making a rustling sound. Next to her, everyone was laughing and chatting about things that seemed to be in another world…
The girl noticed the inexplicable loneliness in her heart.
At this moment, the chair opposite her was suddenly pulled away.
Yukinoshita Yukino came to her senses…
It was Gao Chuan Shuo who sat down opposite her.
"What’s wrong with you? You look so depressed."
"……"
Yukino looked confused with a cold look:
"Everyone seems to get along well with you…"
"Takagawa…"
"I don’t want to run this study group anymore…"
"……"
Takagawa Saku was stunned for a moment.
I understood immediately.
The appearance of this group of people finally broke her life rhythm…
If it was just to discuss study.
Or other fields she was familiar with, it would be fine, but the content related to light novels was indeed her knowledge blind spot.
And he also inadvertently ignored the other person’s feelings…
In fact, Yukino probably doesn’t really dislike Tuanzi and the others…
"Let’s go, pack up…"
"Where to go?"
"I’ll take you out for a walk!"
"……."
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at the others, wanting to say something but stopping!
But seeing that Takagawa Saku gave them instructions one by one, he started to pack up, as if he was really going to finish school…
She had no choice but to tidy up her desk.
Put the book back in the drawer.
Then she put on her backpack and followed Takagawa Saku.
When passing by them!
She looked at Furuhashi Fumino and the others with some guilt. In fact, she didn’t know why she said that just now.
It’s not that she really dislikes Furuhashi Fumino and the others…
"I think they should have heard it… right…"
"……".
