The Only Male Protagonist

Machida Sonoko gave her a dissatisfied look at Yuuki Rito's appearance.

"In this situation, I don't want to call you Yuuki-sensei or anything. So, Rito-kun, is it okay for me to call you that? I am the editor-in-chief of Fantasia Bunko, a beautiful woman sitting in front of you. Why are you in a daze? Why, where I don’t know, is there any little girl who makes you worry about it?”

Sonoko Machida meant to let herself take the initiative?

Although Yuki Rito is already a godslayer, falling in love is not easy for him. Hearing what Machida Sonoko said, Yuuki Rito was humble and taught, and sat directly next to Machida Sonoko, After all, it was the other party who asked me to take the initiative.

"You, you, you idiot! I want you to order something!"

Once again very close to Yuki Rito, Machida Enko's face turned red undisguisedly this time, unlike Yuki Rito's fall before, it was force majeure in Machida Enko's view, but now he took the initiative to sit on his own Looking at his slightly immature face, Machida Sonoko felt a little embarrassed when he remembered that the other party was only a high school student.

Yuuki Rito doesn't like to drink coffee, and in his previous life he only used it when he stayed up late.

After asking Machida Sonoko what coffee she likes, Yuki Rito called the waiter directly.

"Two glasses of mocha."

The coffee was brought over quickly, and as the waiter left, the small private room really became a private space.

"Ri Dou-kun really doesn't like to drink bitter things, as expected, he is still a child."

Seeing Yuki Rito who kept putting sugar in the coffee, Machida Sonoko was a little funny.

"Some people say that drinking coffee and tea is like savoring life, bitterness first and sweetness later, but since you have already experienced hardships in life, why don't you try your best to pursue sweet things, anyway, I like sweet things, just kidding." Shirohito stirred the coffee with a small spoon, felt Machida Sonoko's silence, tilted his head and smiled at her.

"I didn't expect a high school student to have such an idea. It's up to you. It's just a personal preference. It's not a high-level thing. I just think that bitterness can refresh me."

Machida Sonoko was a little surprised, but she knew it when she thought that Yuki Rito was a high school student and a super-best-selling light novelist, and a guy who dared to confess her love.

That’s right, it’s a super best-seller. Now the first volume of Sword Art Online has sold more than 100,000 copies in a short period of time. It’s a shot in the arm in today’s sluggish industry, and it has also set a new record. There is usually a significant increase in sales after one or two volumes. At the beginning, not many people knew about it, but Yuki Rito set a precedent as a new light novelist.

Machida Sonoko wanted to know more about Yuki Rito. She asked Yuki Rito a lot of things, why she wrote light novels, where did she get her inspiration from, would writing light novels affect her studies, how did she feel at school, etc., Yuki Rito answered one by one, but naturally covered up the unspeakable things, as for the others, he even said that he and his sister were living together.

"It's really hard work, but Li Dou-kun is also proud now."

What is the concept of 100,000 copies? Yuki Rito has already earned close to 10 million yen, and at the same time, the follow-up income is only high. After all, this is only the first volume. Li Dou can reach heights that many people can't reach in their lifetimes at a young age.

Machida Sonoko and You Rongyan smiled in relief.

It was originally a meeting on a date, but the two talked about light novels. After all, this is a career that is closely related to both of them, and it can be regarded as a common topic. Yuki Rito did not intend to be on this unexpected date. To do further things, it is not anxious or impatient.

Chapter 0029 Lifespan

Yuki Rito confirmed Sonoko's title, paid for the coffee, and the two walked out of the coffee shop holding hands.

Machida Sonoko asked for a day off, and Yuki Rito already knew about it, so naturally she wouldn't leave so hastily, so Yuki Rito was dragged by Machida Sonoko to Tokyo's largest bookstore, the section dedicated to otaku culture.

"This bookstore is under the banner of Immortal River on the Fantasia library. The traffic has always been high. Look, we have well promoted your Sword Art Online."

Machida Sonoko pointed to the giant billboard that occupied a huge space in the otaku cultural area. It was one of the illustrations in the first volume of Sword Art Online. It was very beautiful, because Yuki Rito described the characteristics of the characters in the novel. It is very detailed, so whether it is the protagonist Kirito or his harem, they are almost the same as the original, or more handsome and beautiful, and the illustrator's level is very high.

"Speaking of which, who did the illustration for me?"

Fantasia Bunko has done a lot for Yuki Rito, whether it is the packaging and publicity of light novels, printing and publishing, or even the cover and illustration design, they are all done silently by Bunko, and now Yuki Rito realizes that he is a little underestimated The human and material resources that the novel consumes.

"It was completed by Teacher Eri Kashiwagi and Teacher Eromanga together. One person is very good at drawing beautiful girls, and the other person is better at drawing lolita. Speaking of which, it's thanks to you that you didn't write about Yujie in the first volume. These two teachers seem to be not good at drawing this kind of characters. If other painters are used, the quality is obviously different. These two are masters shared by our three libraries. If the value of light novels is not high, then , will not let it shoot at all.”

Yuuki Rito was just a little surprised. Sure enough, the protagonist's luck gathered towards him, which would attract other heroines to connect with him. There is that cute girl squatting at home, I don’t know what her situation is now, because the world is different, maybe there will be some changes.

It has been almost a week since the first volume of Sword Art Online was released, but there are still many customers who are attracted by the exquisite illustrations on the billboards, look through it with curiosity, and even buy Sword Art Online, and the sales of Sword Art Online will continue to increase.

"Hey, by the way, have you finished writing the second volume? Although other authors publish a volume every quarter, at your speed, you should have already written a lot of the second volume, right? Send it to me when it is finished. Take advantage of the skyrocketing heat to add another fire, and defeat all opponents with quality and quantity!"

Sonoko Machida has a high fighting spirit.

"Well……"

Seeing that Yuuki Rito's gaze became dodgy, Machida Sonoko was taken aback for a moment, and then frowned.

"Didn't you forget to write the second volume?"

Recently, he has been busy looking for holy relics, and he still has a headache for the troubles caused by Lala. How can he have time to write light novels, Yuuki Rito secretly complained in his heart.

"You guy, you spend your weekends dating me, but you don't write light novels well, I don't know whether to be moved or angry, it doesn't matter, within a month, code out the second volume for me within a month! "

So it is still a bit of a headache to say that my editor-in-chief and boss has become a girlfriend. Hey, how did he become a girlfriend.

Yuki Rito lamented the unpredictable development of the matter, and nodded honestly.

"I will try my best."

"Hmph, there are still more than two hours to go. You should go home, right? Otherwise, Meigan should be very worried. Where is the destination for the last stop?"

Because of the major changes in the relationship with Yuki Rito, Machida Sonoko has become very intimate with Yuuki Mikan, who has not yet met.

The last stop, Yuki Rito, was selected as a park.

He chose the right one, because there are many couples in the park, which is obviously a holy place for dating, but he also chose the wrong one. Machida Sonoko looked downcastly at those young and energetic couples who were about the same age.

Yuki Rito is only a teenage high school student, and he is already in his twenties. In a few years, when Yuuki Rito is in full bloom, he will be almost old and his light novels have just begun , the career is booming, and sitting in the position of editor-in-chief is already the limit, and further upwards, it is not something that I can touch without background. In the future, Yuki Rito will go further and further, and I will start to go downhill .

Sonoko Machida sighed quietly, but she held Yuuki Rito's hand tightly and did not let go. At least, enjoy the date and first love. The woman is several years older than the man. Marriage is impossible. ...

What kind of mentality did I use to directly say the word date to Yuki Rito before, and indirectly accept his confession? It's crazy.

Yuki Rito is not an idiot, even if he didn't understand the reason of Machida Enko's sadness at the beginning, but after a long time of thinking and observing Machida Enko's eyes, Yuki Rito also understood that Machida Enko was troubled by the age gap between the two , Yuuki Rito doesn't care about age.

With the improvement of strength, the life span will also be extended.

The Transcendent level can have a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary people, and the Warring States level, if you live well, you can live longer.

But Machida Sonoko is just an ordinary person, and so is Mikan.

In addition to improving your own strength, you also need to find ways to help them. The Penglai medicine in Gensokyo seems to be able to achieve immortality, but it seems that it has been used up or there are only one or two veterans who are still at the beginning of the horoscope. There, you can't have much hope, Yuki Rito can only pray secretly, that the god who is going to kill next has the power of blessing.

Perhaps Mimen Ryoko can use medicine to prolong human life a little bit, but there is a limit to it, otherwise the forces of the universe will not let her stay on the earth. After all, life, old age, sickness and death are things that everyone fears.

Speaking of which, after death, people in this world will not appear in Gensokyo to meet Yama, right?

After parting with Sonoko Machida, who was slightly sad, Rito Yuki, who was full of cranky thoughts, embarked on the journey back.

〇① "God Killer"

Chapter 0030 Return to the World of Godslayers

"You're going to leave for two or three days, and you won't go home at night?!"

Hearing Yuuki Rito's words, Mikan widened her eyes, looked him up and down suspiciously, and continued.
