The only male protagonist in variety comics

Just knowing the name of Sword Art Online and having heard about some of the plot, but not going out of her way to learn about its book signings or watching the videos of the book signings, Kasumigaoka Shiu cannot compare Yuki Rito and Mao Field Jingyan contacted them.

As the train entered bustling Tokyo, the flow of people began to increase. Yuki Rito, who could have been sitting more casually on the seat, had to move closer to Kasumigaoka Shiu, otherwise this group of people would be crowded for a long time. The tram guy, seeing the tiny space left on the bench, said he had to sit down and squeeze in with other people.

No way, the period between seven and nine o'clock is the peak period for work. Even though today is supposed to be a rest day, there are still many people working overtime, and the tram is destined to be overcrowded.

Kasumigaoka Shiha felt that Rito Yuuki was sitting next to her, and was startled. She thought that Rito Yuuki, who had been very well-behaved before, was finally going to do something to her. Although she didn't have much resistance in her heart, she was a human right now. In a crowded public place, Kasumigaoka Shiu raised his eyebrows, and was about to say something to Yuki Rito when he suddenly realized the situation at this time - it was overcrowded, and there were several pairs of sharp eyes staring at the seats. Once someone wanted to get off the car, The seat left will be occupied immediately. If Yuki Rito is not sitting next to him, but someone else, in order to prevent him from being close to others, Kasumigaoka Shiha will probably give up his seat at this moment, but standing is not much better..

For a moment, Kasumigaoka Shiu was very glad that he invited Rito Yuuki, and Rito Yuuki agreed.

On Saturdays, there is a lot of traffic in Tokyo. Employees of large companies take vacations, but employees in small stores and even shopping malls are even busier. The turnover on weekends far exceeds that on weekdays. The boss will not give up the opportunity to make money and let employees take vacations..

Walking through the busy street, Yuki Rito glanced at Kasumigaoka Shiu who was carrying a single shoulder bag beside her. She had a somewhat mature temperament of a working woman, but was beginning to pant due to exertion, and asked

"What time do you agree to meet?"

"The Machida editor said that all he had to do was come to her before four o'clock in the afternoon. What happened?"

"Calculating the time, it will take ten minutes before we reach the Fantasia Bunko headquarters. I am afraid that you will be late, but now, there is no need to be too anxious."

Originally Yuki Rito's slightly fast pace slowed down, allowing Kasumigaoka Shiu to get some information. During the previous sports meeting, she was clearly a powerful character who could compete with Yukinoshita Yukino for the first place in the 10,000-meter long distance race. , but now she is tired.

It was during the last long-distance run, she was trying to be strong because of her competitiveness, or she didn't have a good rest.

The bookstore in Tokyo is still the same as before, even though the second volume of Sword Art Online was released a long time ago At that time, the huge poster was still posted. Judging from how new it was, it was still newly posted. There were many people going in and out of the bookstore. This is now normal for Rito Yuuki. After all, when the first volume was published, it was It was a similar scene.

What caught Rito Yuuki's attention was the advertisement on the building located in the center of the bustling area. The outer wall of the building was a projection screen, and what Yuuki Rito didn't know about was the Sword Art Online promotional PV. , seems to be mainly to promote the name Sword Art Online, attract light novel readers and game players at the same time, and perhaps also build momentum for future animations. When Yuuki Rito didn't know it, Bunko did a lot of new work.

When Yuuki When Rito and Kasumigaoka Shiu walked to the door of the Fantasia Bunko headquarters, Kasumigaoka Shiu looked up at the rather imposing building, took a deep breath and looked at Yuuki Rito

"Thank you Yuki-kun for sending me here. Leave the rest to me. After all, it seems a bit wrong to bring friends to meet with the editor because this is a work-oriented matter. If Yuki-kun is still willing to accompany me back, please do it first. Wandering around the neighborhood?"

Although it is speculated that Yuuki Rito's parents and relatives are executives of Fantasia Bunko, it is just a guess. Kasumigaoka Shiu even doesn't know what Yuuki Rito's parents look like or what their names are. Now the love metronome has been approved. , Kasumigaoka Shiu didn't know how much Yuuki Rito helped her, but for the next thing, Kasumigaoka Shiu decided to work hard on her own. Yuuki Rito didn't know the complicated thoughts in the girl's heart, and when he heard that he didn't need to go with her to see Machida Enko , Yuuki Rito secretly breathed a sigh of relief without having to do anything similar to provocation.

"Well, go ahead and rest assured, with your strength, everything will go well."

Watching Kasumigaoka Shiu enter the Fantasia Library, watching her enter the upper floor of the library under the guidance of the front desk clerk, Yuuki Rito also walked into the library hall afterwards. The person in charge of the reception in the lobby on the first floor certainly knows Yuki Rito Yes, he walked over quickly, looked around and saw that no one outside the library was paying attention. The professional smile on his face became much more real and natural, and he asked softly.

"Is Kayaba-sensei here to see Editor-in-Chief Machida? Previously, when newcomers under the editor-in-chief came to see her, they might have to wait a while. If there was an emergency, I could inform the editor-in-chief Machida."

Yuki Rito is now favored by the big boss of Bunko Tenjoin Saki, and Sword Art Online has become the backbone of Bunko and even the entire industry. Therefore, even a small receptionist has Bunko interrupting his work. The courage of the editor-in-chief, and Yuki Rito also had a little taste of the status of himself and Machida Enko in the hearts of the library staff now. Looking at this female staff member who looked at him with gleaming eyes and admiration, Yuuki Rito said

"No need, I came here with the newcomer. If she encounters any difficulties at any time, please help me quietly."

An ordinary receptionist can't do much more in Bunko except giving directions, notifying security when something goes wrong, calling the police or even calling an ambulance, but Rito Yuuki knows that this receptionist will definitely do it. Let this news spread in the library, and then the love metronome will naturally receive explicit or implicit support.

Anyway, Machida Enzi already knows that Kasumigaoka Shiu has an ambiguous relationship with herself, and even what she thought was the situation may be more exaggerated than the truth. Yuki Rito has nothing to worry about, as long as he doesn't show off

"yes! I see!"

Yuki Rito has achieved such a lot at such a young age. Although some people speculate that the popularity of Sword Art Online is driven by the Tenjoin Foundation, this does not prevent everyone from recognizing the quality of Sword Art Online and Yuuki Rito's ability. He has undoubtedly become the leader of the younger generation, at least this is what everyone in the library who knows Yuki Rito's true appearance and age thinks. At this moment, Yuki Rito is asking for help, and the receptionist seems to be inspired and speaks with high spirits. Appropriate posture.
