then.

Because he noticed a familiar scent, he showed a slightly relieved expression.

"An interesting man..." Kaname Rakuna said so, then her eyes wandered and gradually settled on Yamada Ryo, "An interesting woman."

"Hum..."

Yamada Ryo crossed his arms and raised his head slightly.

Lin You: "Why are you showing such a smug expression?"

Yamada Ryo: “I’m praised.”

Lin You: “?”

Kaname Rakuna: "Matcha parfait..."

Lin You: “…”

Surrounded by monsters, but you need monsters to defeat them.

Lin You thought: I am a weirdo too.

The stray cat in front of me naturally stretched out its palm, its heterochromic eyes calm, and showed a matter-of-fact expression that said, "I'm cute, please give me money."

"I'm not some weirdo who carries a matcha parfait around with me at the light novel company... I'll have Sonoko buy it for you."

"Good guy."

Yay Lenai to be concise and to the point.

See this.

Yamada Ryo seemed to suddenly understand. After she understood, she stretched out her hand and said to Lin You expressionlessly, "I want one too."

Lin You: “…”

Apparently, my physique attracts both stray cats and crappy bassists.

……

ten minutes later.

A reception room in Fushigawa Bookstore.

The short-haired mature office lady walked with a pair of sexy thighs wrapped in shiny black stockings and pointed high heels. She sat down opposite Lin You, brought out two plates of matcha parfaits and some simple desserts, and then sighed loudly and blatantly.

Machida Sonoko had the lifeless expression of a corporate slave.

As the name suggests, Lenai is a free-spirited stray cat. He completely ignored Machida Sonoko's expression and started eating.

"Ah wu——"

Yamada Ryo clasped his hands together and thanked him gratefully:

"I can eat matcha parfait for free without having to work. It's so good to be alive. Thank God, Amen!"

"I paid for it, you should thank me." Lin You reminded.

Yamada Ryo immediately changed his words: "Yumon!"

Machida Sonoko: "...and I ran errands."

In this scene, I don't know whether to describe it as youthful or another adjective. Unique? Interesting? Either way, it doesn't seem to be a word suitable for office workers.

She could only make a bitter face.

"Teacher Kasugano Yuu! ...Being a corporate slave is really hard for me, why are you here to entertain me? And you brought two high school girls with you!"

"No... they are wild."

"What's the point of saying it's wild or not? I just know my boss deserves to die!"

"Condolences."

"?"

Machida Sonoko raised her eyes. She wanted to express her condolences, but her eyes were too sleepy to open. Her dark circles were a bit heavy. If she continued like this, she might need to cover them up with makeup.

Lin You peeled a candy and fed it to Lenai. Looking at the cute stray cat sucking the candy with its lips open, he said to Machida Yuanzi:

"So, Yuanzi, you're just a small office worker? You don't even have a big office of your own. You can only entertain guests in the reception room."

"Did Mr. Kasugano Yuu come here just to make fun of me?..."

"Of course not. Besides Shiyu-senpai's 'Love Metronome', how many other light novels are you responsible for now?"

"How many? ... Light novel editors aren't web novel editors, so how could they have so many? For me, there's only one novel left, by Kasugano Yuu-sensei, that you've probably never even heard of, and it's about to be cut short."

In this era of rapid development of the Internet, offline physical books are still king in the Japanese light novel industry, and it is normal to only serve as the editor of a few or even one light novel.

Lin You thought to himself, what about Machida Sonoko's words——

"Shiyu-senpai's novel should be ready for volume three, right? 'Love Metronome' isn't a long story, so three volumes is enough... Is Sonoko worried about that one getting cut short? Or is she just having trouble finding new work?"

"I think it's all of that... Overtime is annoying. I've been working overtime these past few days reviewing works by new talents and can't find any... Also, it's all because of Mr. Kasugano Yuu! I was even pestered by a kid for a long time!"

Machida Sonoko said with resentment.

Child?

“…Whose child is this?”

An image suddenly emerged in Lin You's mind: brown hair, twintails... No, no, no, since this is the light novel world, it should be -

"...Yamada Fairy is a little small, but you can't just call her a child, right?"

"Hmm? ... Kasugano Yuu-sensei, how did you know I was talking about Yamada Fairy-sensei without even telling me?"

"I've been a fan of Yamada Fairy Sensei for ten years."

"?"

What nonsense?

Obviously, that annoying teacher was only in junior high school, and his only representative light novel writing resume was his debut work, which was also a bestseller, "The Exploding Dark Fairy".

Machida Sonoko had a question mark on her head and was a little surprised when the door suddenly opened.

"—Haha! ...Machida Editor, it was so hard to find you! Is this your escape route?"

To be honest, it was a pretty loud voice.

Yao Lenai was so immersed in the desserts and Lin You's feeding that she had so much fun that she didn't even raise her eyes.

Yamada Ryo likes to observe humans, especially Lin You and all the interesting things around Lin You.

She followed Lin You's line of sight and saw a very delicate blonde girl standing at the door.

She wore a red and white, ruffled lolita dress. She had pure white skin, long golden hair, and azure eyes. Her ears were somehow long and pointed, reminiscent of a fairy from a fantasy story.

Rather than saying that it came out of the world of "The Lord of the Rings", it is more like a fairy who came out of Eri Kashiwagi's Ling○kei Eroman Ali.

Yamada Fairy strode over, speaking with a bit of arrogance, and with her figure she looked like a female imp:

"Hey, Editor Machida! This is me! ...I'm the number one on the ORICON rankings, you know? Why are you ignoring me?"

"Can't you see I'm receiving guests?"

Machida Sonoko frowned and crossed her arms across her chest.

This action highlights the adult's aura and the fruit on Yuanzi's chest, which is wrapped and tied tightly with an OL's white shirt. Because of the height difference, it looks like it is being served in front of the Yamada fairy.

thump—

It's not obvious when she stands with Kasumigaoka Utaha, but facing the mere Yamada Fairy, Machida Sonoko is definitely a big R.

"Oooh..." The girl made a sound of defeat for some reason.

"Well, Fairy Teacher Yamada?" The mature woman pretended to be confused.

"S-Sorry... Editor Machida, could you please chat with me for a moment after you've finished entertaining our guests? ...I managed to sneak in with great difficulty."

"Ruzi can be taught."

"..."

"..."

He was clearly throwing a tantrum just now, but now as long as Machida Sonoko is a little strict, he becomes well-behaved and cute again.

Lin You thought.

It is obvious that Machida Sonoko is not that kind of devil editor. In fact, she is the kind of professional woman who should be described as intellectual and mature.

But for some reason, she is particularly majestic in front of Yamada Fairy... Is it because of her mature figure, temperament and OL outfit that can support the style of the book?

The "special attack" property has been developed against the fantasy creature Yamada Fairy.

When Rakuna and Yamada Ryo were staying in their own little world.

Machida Sonoko smiled the smile of an adult, a smile that was both generous and contemptible. She said with a smile:

"...Hasn't Miss Yamada been asking me to introduce you to Miss Kasugano Yuu? Look, this is the Miss Kasugano herself, isn't it?"

"Oh! Kasugano Yuu-sensei!"

Yamada Fairy's eyes immediately lit up.

Lin You: “…”

Are you trying to shift the blame to someone else?

After diverting the attention of the beautiful blonde loli girl, Machida Sonoko threw a wink at Lin You, and left immediately, making an excuse that someone who had submitted an offline post had come to visit.

Only two unreliable band girls were left, enjoying the free desserts.

And Lin You, who was being stared at by the Yamada fairy, the petite, fairy-like, slightly chuunibyou-like blonde girl stood in front of him.

With his hands on his hips and his face tilted upwards, he forced himself to look Lin You in the eye.

Then came a rather unruly or rather idiosyncratic speech, with rather large body movements, waving his hand towards Lin You in front of him as if he were unleashing the Great Desolate Prisoner Heaven Finger:

"Teacher Kasugano Yuu! I finally meet you!"

"I won't draw illustrations for you."

"Please give us more cooperation—Eh, no painting? Why?! Is this true?!"

The expression that seemed to be sure of victory suddenly collapsed. The Yamada fairy with the characteristic of "overconfidence" began to gradually doubt his own confidence.

why?

This is me!

"The most powerful light novelist of all time," "the great novelist," "the savior of the light novel industry." Her goal is to "create the ultimate light novel," becoming the "Novel King" with sales exceeding 100 million copies, and then the "Super Novelist" with sales exceeding 500 million...

My debut work, "Exploding Dark Fairy," has sold over 220 million copies, reaching number one on the Oricon charts and even being adapted into an anime. As the author of the anime adaptation, I've incorporated myself to comply with taxes and registered a company called "Office Moon Side"!

There are actually people who want to refuse!

This is definitely a mistake, right?!

"Besides! I've researched it, and most of Kasugano Yuu-sensei's Eromanga stories are about harems and prostitution. ...Isn't this exactly the same as my light novel? It's a perfect match!"

"Exactly the same..."

Lin You does not discriminate against otaku light novels. On the contrary, he even praises them. But when someone tells him that his Eromanga is the same as "The Dark Fairy of Explosion", he instantly feels a little weird.

Eromanga, is it such a vulgar thing?

Moreover.

More importantly,

"I like Cesium, but I don't like your kind of selling out like that, Yamada Fairy."

"Huh?" The girl was puzzled.

Lin You asked a soul-searching question: "Why do your heroines always start going all ○ for no apparent reason?"

Yamada Fairy clenched her fists, showing an impassioned look, and said in a loud voice:

"Because! ...All zeros are justice!"

"But is it enough if all ○ are present?"
