Welcome to the world of strength supremacy

In fact, Izumi Sagiri was also somewhat depressed, because after Igarashi left, she was the only one in such a large one-story house, which made her feel a little lonely.

It is true that Izumi Sagiri is a home girl, but she is not the type who does not want others to appear in her living area. The girl will not invite Igarashi into her bedroom for no reason and let him accompany her, but she does want him to be with her. Staying in the house would make Izumi Sagiri feel at ease.

Chapter 1238 Takasago Bookstore

Strictly speaking, Tokyo does not mean Tokyo. Tokyo is an area in Tokyo that is extremely prosperous. In addition to Tokyo, Tokyo has other affiliated towns.

However, in real life, Tokyo Metropolitan and Tokyo are generally not strictly distinguished.

The Adachi Ward in Tokyo where Igarashi is located is actually considered a remote suburb.

Adachi City is mainly residential, with many Japanese-style buildings, many parks, and small factories and convenience stores. It lacks convenience in life, and it is a relatively concentrated B\u0026B residential area.

Of course, as far as Igarashi is concerned, he likes this relatively quiet place very much. Igarashi has seen a lot of the so-called prosperity of the city.

Takasago Bookstore, a self-employed bookstore.

The bookstore has two floors. Although it is not very spacious, the light novels are well collected and the atmosphere in the store is very bright.

In the not-so-busy Adachi district, this bookstore is somewhat famous.

The clerk who is working in the bookstore at the moment is a girl with long glossy black hair and a particularly feminine and delicate appearance.

Takasago Chie, she is a classmate of Igarashi who once again played the role of a high school student, and she is also the daughter of the owner of this bookstore. Now she is taking advantage of the weekends to guard the store and give her father who runs the bookstore some rest time. After all, this kind of self-employment Generally speaking, there are no closed days in stores.

How could it be possible to close the store for a break when office workers and students have a day off which is a good time for the store to make a profit?

"By the way, although a girl like you who shares the work pressure with your parents is very attractive, but in this case you have to look after the bookstore during the day and deal with some trivial matters at night. Wouldn't there be no rest time left at all on the weekend? You can even sleep in If you can’t do it, it will be very painful.”

Igarashi's words made Takasago Chie wrinkle her nose.

"Since you know I'm miserable, don't remind me anymore. I suddenly became very weak."

"If you are tired, my arms will be open to you, okay?"

Being in the same class and living in a similar place, Igarashi and Takasago Chie naturally interact a lot. Although they have not directly confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, there is no problem in saying such ambiguous words.

Takasago Tomoe looked like she was used to it and rolled her eyes at Igarashi.

"You must have a lot to do yourself, right? You are dependent on your unrelated sister, and you are also a part-time editor of Dengeki Bunko. In addition, you are also a popular figure in school. You are the absolute protagonist in the light novel! But I I still can’t understand why a large company like Dengeki Bunko would recruit a student who has not yet graduated as a part-time editor.”

"Because I am the boss behind Dengeki Bunko, so it will be easy for me to have any identity I want."

"Tch, stop talking nonsense."

Takasago Chie didn't believe what Igarashi said at all. She rummaged around the counter for a while and quickly took out a list.

"This is the recent book sales situation in bookstores. Some of the books are difficult to sell. I would like to apply for recycling."

Igarashi is a part-time editor of Dengeki Bunko. Although he still has the prefix "part-time", he is surprisingly powerful. Individual bookstores like Takasago Bookstore can directly reach agreements with Dengeki Bunko because Igarashi coordinates among them.

Once an agreement is reached, Dengeki Bunko will regularly provide books for sale to bookstores and recycle books that have not been sold before. Of course, the recycling price will be lower than the selling price.

"no problem."

Igarashi glanced at the list and nodded simply. This reaction was expected by Takasago Chie, but it also made the girl purse her lips unnaturally.

"This isn't normal."

"how?"

"I heard from my father that even if Bunko reaches an agreement with a bookstore, if the bookstore fails to sell most books for a long time. For example, if the sales volume of light novels is lower than expected in the next period, the number of light novels provided by Bunku will decrease, and the supply will be reduced. Distribute it to other places. After all, it is also a supply. The library will also hope that the bookstore can sell more books instead of recycling them themselves. However, the supply of various books here has never been reduced... …”

"It's been said that I am the boss behind Dengeki Bunko, so there is no problem in giving this little preferential treatment."

Of course, Takasago Chie still didn't believe Igarashi's words. She still looked unnatural. Seeing that Igarashi seemed to want to hang out in the bookstore, she interpreted this behavior as Igarashi was avoiding the topic. It stuck to the corner of his clothes.

"Please follow the normal procedures. I don't want to cause you any trouble. If nothing else happens, you will be able to work directly at Dengeki Bunko after graduation. Even if you want to continue your studies at university, you should be able to have the best of both worlds. method. So please don’t lose your position as editor because of me.”

Takasago Tomoe is a very pure girl, but she usually seems very casual when talking to Igarashi. This is naturally because the relationship between the two has reached the level of more than friends.

At this moment, Takasago Chie's tone revealed pleading.

This caused Igarashi, who originally wanted to see if there were any books he was interested in in the bookstore as a pastime, to stop and look at Takasago Tomoe, who was full of uneasiness at the moment, and laughed dumbly.

"I told you that this is not a problem for me, so don't worry. In your mind, am I a reckless guy who ignores the consequences? Being reckless will also harm Takasago Bookstore. I'm not that stupid now. "

Igarashi is indeed the boss behind Dengeki Bunko. Of course, he is not the founder of Dengeki Bunko, but he did it through a little trick during the time that was accelerated by the will of the world.

In addition, as a part-time editor, Igarashi Juarashi also has a light novelist to be responsible for. There is only one, which is much easier than other editors. Because the light novelist is a good boy who saves a lot of time, Igarashi actually has a lot of time.

Chapter 1239 You are very calm

Being comforted by Igarashi, Takasago Chie temporarily put aside her original worries, took a breath and started playing with her smartphone.

It's break time now, and since Igarashi is in the bookstore, Takasago Tomoe can also be distracted and do her own thing.

As a bookstore clerk, Takasago Tomoe, who is expected to inherit the bookstore from her father in the future, loves to read light novels. With her father's consent, she also set up a [Staff Special Recommendation] area in the bookstore for recommendations. I think it's a well-written light novel.

Originally it was just for the reason of "wanting to let more people know about interesting light novels". Later, unexpectedly, it was widely recognized by customers. When regular customers entered the bookstore, they usually went straight to the recommendation area and left. I often buy a few light novels there.

Takasago Bookstore is famous because of this special area.

However, Takasago Tomoe doesn't want to read novels now. It feels bad to read in such fragmented time and then be interrupted by various things. An interesting light novel may be lost because of this. Less interesting.

She chose to play on her phone.

"By the way, this is someone you know, right?"

Takasago Tomoe raised the phone towards Igarashi and motioned for him to look at the screen.

It was a personal blog website, and it was written as "Eromanga's Blog." If you just looked at the name, you would think it was a blog introducing H comics or something.

"Teacher Eromanga, it seems that you recommended me to Dengeki Bunko. Although it seems that his illustrations are quite good, this pen name is too..."

"It's quite appropriate, right? After all, the illustrations themselves are very sexy, and coupled with such a pen name, it will give people a clear feeling."

"But if there are any large-scale activities in the library in the future, or if you want to introduce your work experience, the name 'Eromanga' is not convenient at all, right?"

In fact, Takasago Tomoe was not pointing out the name of an unknown person, but she was worried that Igarashi's work would be affected.

"Hello everyone, my name is Igarashi, and I am the recommender of the famous illustrator Mr. Eromanga" - just imagining such words in his mind made Takasago Chie feel extremely ashamed.

Igarashi waved his hand indifferently, then took Takasago Chie's mobile phone and began to browse the latest developments on Mr. Eromanga's blog.

This kind of action also highlights the extraordinary relationship between Igarashi and Takasago Tomoe. Under normal circumstances, no girl would give her mobile phone to a boy to browse.

On the blog page, below the name, there is a signature - [Active Illustrator. The origin of the pen name is that the name of the island has nothing to do with H’s comics]
