Welcome To the World of Power Supremacy

"Okay, I know."

Helpless to stop Igarashi, Kasumigaoka Shiyu naturally understands what Igarashi means, and what she said just now was just sentimental. The girl didn't want to imitate the way Michitome Bingtang and Igarashi got along, and she was clearly indifferent before. In the novel, I fantasized about the various things I had when I was with Igarashi, but now I have become powerless.

"Want to go have a coffee together?"

Igarashi blinked and made an invitation. It was still early and there was plenty of time. Since Shiyu of Kasumigaoka felt lost, Igarashi naturally wanted to try to improve her mood.

"good."

Of course, Shiyu of Kasumigaoka couldn't refuse. For girls, the longer they spend with Igarashi, the better. If it was Ying Lili, she might not be very interested in coffee, but Shiyu of Kasumigaoka is different, whether it was because of the sales of novels at the beginning. When it's bad and low, when it's still late at night, coffee is a prop for Shiyu of Kasumigaoka to relieve her mood. Now drinking it with Igarashi will definitely be different.

Chapter 137 Calm down

Kasumigaoka Shiyu is not an ignorant girl, and the so-called love words have little impact on her. All Igarashi has to do is to stay by her side. After spending more than an hour in the cafe, Kasumigaoka Shiyu left contentedly. Taking advantage of the time when Igarashi returned home from the cafe, he used his mobile phone to check various updates of Sword Art Online.

Since the last time I went to Tokyo to meet with Miss Machida, the two have been in frequent contact, and Machida Yuanko has also told Igarashi Bunko about the progress of Sword Art Online from time to time, so although I am addicted to beautiful girls, Igarashi still knows his light novels. condition.

In less than a week, the sales of Sword Art Online exceeded 300,000. Although it has not broken the records of some novels that rely on time to accumulate sales, Sword Art Online has undoubtedly become a topical work, and Igarashi has deliberately downplayed it before. The writing method of light novels seems to be a wise move now. The neon literature master, who was originally unhappy with various otaku cultures including light novels, actually appreciated Igarashi's works.

"This is not a light novel, this is undoubtedly a representative of the new era of literary novels, just with the imagination of young people, similar to science fiction."

Although they are praising Sword Art Online, the literary masters who are unwilling to admit the otaku culture have classified Sword Art Online into orthodox literature on the basis that Igarashi does not use light novels very well. It doesn't really matter, Sword Art Online is still a light novel from the Fantastic library.

Moreover, different occupations in neon represent different positions, and the concept of hierarchy is obvious. Just as a light novel can only sell for a few hundred yen, but an orthodox literary work can reach several thousand yen. Obviously, light novels are cheaper. According to the principle of small profits but quick turnover, the sales of light novels should be higher, but the fact is just the opposite. The sales of traditional novels are often several times more than the sales of light novels.

Although I don't want to pay attention to those literary masters who stick to the rules, but they are also promoting Sword Art Online, so that some people who are not readers of light novels go to see Sword Art Online, and Igarashi will just let it go.

The success of Sword Art Online naturally makes many people yearn for it, and there are many works that follow the trend, but Igarashi himself has not yet perfected the various worldviews of Sword Art Online, and those who follow the trend rely on their own imagination and writing that is inferior to Igarashi. Success, people remember, is the first, and after it, will be regarded as latecomers, imitators, people who follow the trend.

Machida Yuanko has clearly told Igarashi that Sword Art Online is going to be animated. Not only did he send the information of several companies specializing in animation production in the email, but he also asked Igarashi to go to Tokyo to meet the heads of these companies if he had time. Check it out.

Originally, Igarashi was not very interested in these things, but it was related to his own work. Igarashi could not allow animation to discredit light novels, and relying on animation to gain recognition from people, could it be regarded as the spirit of conquering people? Although it needs to be studied, it is not impossible to give it a try.

In the real world before, Igarashi gained tens of thousands of experience points, so how much can you get in this world?

Even if his own combat power has little use in the daily world, Igarashi has always longed to become stronger, but he has not forgotten that only when he becomes stronger, the girls who become his family will have a longer life. .

"Lan, welcome back, do you want to eat first, shower first, or eat me first?"

When Igarashi walked into the house, he saw Michiru Hiodo knelt upright in front of him. The girl's clear voice was full of temptation, but Igarashi was still able to resist one or two.

"Cough, let's eat first."

At this time, there was a faint smell of hot food in the house, and Igarashi knew that Michitome Bingtang was ready to eat. Although the girl asked Igarashi to learn how to cook before, she already had a certain foundation, and Igarashi did not need to I was worried about what kind of dark food I would eat, not to mention that Comrade Igarashi, who was not short of money, gave half of the profits from Sword Art Online to Sayuri, Eiri and the others, and gave the rest to Michitome Hiodo, girl. If you don't want to cook, you can order takeout.

The popularity of Sword Art Online has also caused the numbers in Igarashi's bank card to continue to increase, and there is no need to consider money issues at all.

"Well, I thought Lan would eat me first."

Bingtang Michiru curled his lips boringly, no longer bothered about this point, pulled Igarashi to sit at the table, and spoke with some anticipation and nervousness.

"Try it and see if it's delicious."

Igarashi looked at the dishes on the table. It was not the first time for Bingtang Michiru to cook, but the dishes in front of him had never been cooked before. It seemed that they were new attempts. Also showing a look of intoxication, Igarashi picked up the chopsticks without hesitation, and picked up a piece of fried meat that looked quite tempting.

"Delicious, really good."

Feeling that the fried meat in his mouth is not the ultimate delicacy, but the taste is also very good, and it contains the heart of Michitome Hiodo, and Igarashi does not hesitate to praise himself.

"Humph, it seems that the information is correct, so why did you behave so blandly when I said that before!"

When Michiru Bingdo was cooking, she deliberately tasted her own creations. She was preparing dinner for Igarashi, and it was a new dish. How could a girl not try it beforehand, or she would actually serve a plate of dark dishes.

"What information?"

Igarashi remembered what Michitome Bingtang said before. According to the character of this somewhat confused girl, she doesn't know how to seduce herself through words. Where did you learn it?

"I read it in the light novel. I also learned this dish from the novel. The book also said that it would make boys happy like I did before, but you are so calm, that I thought the light novel was wrong."

What light novels, gourmet ones? Igarashi was a little puzzled. Even if Michitome Bingdo was influenced by himself, he should not fall in love with light novels because of this. Do you want to make me happy by learning about my interests? Igarashi felt that his favorability might be over the top for this girl who thought of herself wholeheartedly.

"Don't do things you don't like for me. That sentence was too sudden, and I was stunned."

It seems that other than the Sword Art Online written by Lan, other light novels are not reliable. Michi Bingtang kept this definition in his heart and gave up continuing to refer to light novels.

And Igarashi didn't know the girl's psychological changes, and was planning to complete the three things in the order that the girl said before. The next thing was to take a bath. Igarashi is a person who cherishes time.

Chapter 138 I want to ask for leave

"Student Igarashi, although I know that at your level, our school's courses are not difficult, but I still hope that you can be as serious as possible and play an exemplary role. Other students are not geniuses like you, don't be serious. You can also get full marks for listening to the class.”

The chairman of Toyonozaki Academy persuaded Igarashi earnestly. It was not that he suddenly approached Igarashi to discuss the issue on a whim, but Igarashi approached him and said that he might be absent from time to time in the future. Igarashi, who will not be affected by this, does not matter even if he is absent, but he is a man of the school, and his every move is followed by many students. It is not good if he is often absent.

What the chairman said was almost like a tactful rejection, but Igarashi did not have any dissatisfaction. What the chairman was worried about was the school atmosphere and the quality of the students. Although there were inevitably some factors that considered the future income status of the school, it was also hopeful Other students can go to class with peace of mind, out of kindness.

"President, please wait for me for five minutes."

Igarashi will ask for leave because of the animation of Sword Art Online. This is also to gain experience points. Now I will contact Machida Yuanko and ask her if it will cause any adverse effects if it is announced that the author of Sword Art Online is a high school student. Bar.

"Bad effects? There may be a little bit of a problem, but it will be more of a virtuous circle, and the promotion of Sword Art Online is also very good. I thought you would always hide your unwillingness to reveal your identity."

After receiving such a reply from Ms. Machida, Igarashi felt relieved. The reason for taking leave was to devote some energy to animation to gain more experience. If it affects the light novel, it will not be worth the loss.

"Chairman, I don't know if you don't know light novels. I am the author of a light novel. Because Wenku intends to animate my light novel, I need to supervise it, so I asked for leave, and all the time for leave adds up. It won't be too long, at most once or twice a week."

Although there are many things in animation, it is not necessary for the author to participate, and Igarashi has not forgotten that Michiru is still living in his own home, even if he goes to Tokyo during the day, Igarashi will go home at night.

"Animation? Only excellent light novels can be animated."

If other students asked for leave with such an excuse, the chairman would never believe it, but if that person was Igarashi, it would be very convincing. The chairman looked at Igarashi curiously, but he did not expect that he would He has made achievements in light novels.

"It's inconvenient for Fang to say which light novel it is?"

This is not because the chairman does not trust Igarashi and wants to prove it himself, but because he is simply curious and polite. Students like Igarashi are undoubtedly treasures of the school, and the chairman also appreciates them.

"It's called Sword Art Online."

Igarashi didn't say the title of the novel originally, because he felt that this somewhat serious chairman wouldn't pay attention to otaku culture, and he wouldn't know if he said it, but since I asked, Igarashi wouldn't hide it.

"Sword Art Online? Is that a light novel that is not a light novel?"

It is not a light novel of light novels, but the definition of Sword Art Online after the fierce battle between the neon literature masters and the otakus. Although the literary masters have high status, they are too few to win the huge number of otakus. Taking a step back from each other made Sword Art Online's positioning ambiguous.

And the melon-eating people who originally knew very little about Sword Art Online have also heard about this controversy on the Internet. Light novels that are not light novels are also known by more and more people.

Tsk, what is this, Igarashi knows about the online battle without gunpowder about Sword Art Online, but I didn't expect the final result to be like this, these people are really innovative, tongue twisters.

"Uh, if the name is Sword Art Online, I wrote it."
