Welcome to the world of strength supremacy

Hyōdo Michiru felt warm in her heart, and looked at Igarashi with affection in her eyes.

"Thanks."

Chapter 145 Progress

"Try it and see how it works."

Igarashi watched Hyōdo Michiru put on the picks one by one, waiting for the girl to play.

"Well, I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Michiru Hyōdo originally played the guitar with bare hands, but now she suddenly put on a pick, which made her a little uncomfortable. After trying it for a while, the girl officially got into the groove.

Hyodo Michiru's voice always gives people a cheerful feeling. Listening to the girl singing softly to the accompaniment of the guitar is a kind of enjoyment for Igarashi.

"whee."

After a long time, Hyōdo Michiru finished playing and came out of the immersive state. Seeing Igarashi's focused look, the girl he liked acknowledged her, which made the girl smile softly.

"Little talented girl, how do you use this pick?"

Igarashi watched Hyōdo Michiru put away the guitar. Although he had drawn a conclusion from the playing just now and the girl's expression, Igarashi still wanted to hear her opinion.

"It's still a bit unfamiliar, but after wearing the pick, I can use some skills that I couldn't use before. I like it very much. Thank you, Lan."

Although I don't understand it, I feel that it's very powerful. Igarashi doesn't know much about guitar, and he doesn't know what techniques can only be used with a pick. Since Michiru Hyido thinks it's good, that's great.

"The second volume of Sword Art Online has been released, but Yamabuki-sensei is so busy today, so he must not know about it."

Taking off the picks one by one and putting them away, Hyōdo Michiru glanced at the idle Igarashi with something in mind.

Well, I'm ashamed to say that Igarashi almost forgot that today was the day when his light novel was released. It was indeed the fault of the beautiful girl's too much charm that made him neglect his career. He found an excuse for himself without hesitation, Igarashi Lan was a little curious.

"How are sales going?"

"Don't you have a new laptop? Check it out online, just in time to test its performance."

Hyōdo Michiru gave it a try. Although he always acted carefree and always had a smile on his face, Igarashi had to go on dates with other girls today and tomorrow. Of course, Hyōdō Michiru was a little jealous, but this jealousy was not a factor in After Igarashi gave him a gift, it disappeared. Looking at the laptop that Kato Megumi gave to Igarashi, Hyōdo Michiru hesitated. Should she also give him some gifts?

Huh, this guy has eaten himself, and the whole person is his, what else does he want as a gift?

Although she thought so, Hyōdo Michiru would still prepare her own thoughts. Thinking of Igarashi's actions during this period, the girl had made a decision in her heart.

"The second volume of Sword Art Online has sold 100,000 copies on the first day of its release, and the anime has been decided."

Looking at the slogan on the beautiful Sword Art Online picture in the middle of Fantastic Bunko’s official website, Igarashi knew that Bunko and A1P Company had completed negotiations.

Unsurprisingly, the message board on Bunko's official website contains a bunch of messages about the animation of Sword Art Online. The words are filled with excitement. Even the trailer PV has not been released yet, and there is already such popularity. As long as the quality of the animation is up to standard, I believe it will be achieved. Good results.

Now that the negotiation was over, Igarashi did not think that he had not received the notice. He opened his mailbox and found that there were several emails inside, including the payment for the printing of the second volume of Sword Art Online, the detailed animation process and various contracts. He scanned a few of them at random. Seeing that there was no problem, Machida Enzi had taken care of everything for herself, and Igarashi stopped worrying.

After a while, go watch the animation production. Although I have not become a supervisor, as the original work, Igarashi still has to be a little more serious. Even if the animation cannot directly increase the experience points that Igarashi can obtain, it can also improve the lightness of the original work. The popularity of the novel indirectly increases the experience value, and Igarashi cannot escape his responsibilities both emotionally and rationally.

Opening his personal webpage, as expected, there were a lot of comments. There were so many that Igarashi didn't have time to look at them carefully. He didn't know if anyone was using bad words or being inappropriate. Although he had the permission to delete the ban, Igarashi didn't want to waste too much time on this. He took a look at the tens of thousands of comments and likes on the only post he posted a long time ago. After thinking about it for a while, Igarashi posted the second one.

"Thank you for your enthusiasm. I have seen the samples of Sword Art Online animation, and I can guarantee the quality."

Of course, Igarashi can guarantee that judging from the sample jointly produced by A1P and ufotable, there is no other anime that is regularly broadcast on the market, and only anime movies can match it. The biggest reason is not technical problems, but cost. , a budget of 20 million yen per episode is both capital and courage.

Today, the total sales volume of Sword Art Online volumes 1 and 2 is close to one million copies. The ever-increasing numbers in Igarashi’s bank card prove that he can even complete the investment in the Sword Art Online anime on his own in one week. One episode and Igarashi's weekly income can fully meet the requirement of 20 million.

"Since Mr. Yamabuki said so, the animation of Sword Art Online must be very good."

"Yamabuki-kun, the principal asked you to go to his office. It's been exposed that you didn't pay attention to class and write a light novel."

"I like you!"

"Kirito-kun, I am Asuna, wake up, you are trapped in the game world now, this is all fake."

As soon as Igarashi's news was posted, there were a few more comments instantly, and there were some strange things mixed in. Looking at the comment at the bottom, Igarashi grinned. He cosplayed Kirito at the comic exhibition, and now he is People joked about this, but Asuna's real name is Asuna Yuuki.

"Lan, your personal webpage is so lively."

Hyodo Michiru on the side couldn't help but sigh when he saw dozens of extra messages after Igarashi refreshed the web page.

"What, you want to join in the fun too?"

"Uh, I don't want to think about it."

Igarashi's profound words made Hyōdo Michiru shudder and wave his hands repeatedly. The last time he provoked Igarashi, he gave him a good lesson while he was sleeping. He still remembers it clearly.

Chapter 146 Maid

As expected, Eri Sawamura and Megumi Kato have different hobbies. Igarashi and the blond girl were walking in Akihabara. They were dressed in different clothes as they came and went, but they all had a more or less otaku atmosphere, no? She was wearing anime clothes and was holding peripherals in her hands. The shop windows on the road also displayed various light novels, games, peripherals, cosplay props, and even a maid cafe.

Well, in the maid cafe, through the transparent glass, I could see the figures coming and going inside. Igarashi's eyes narrowed. He had seen a lot of young and beautiful girls in school uniforms, but he had never seen many black and white maid outfits. , I really want to see it.

"Tsk"

Although Sawamura Eiri was also attracted by the dazzling array of products in Akihabara, part of her attention still remained on Igarashi. Following his gaze, she saw a maid cafe where men came and went from time to time. The tiger fangs at the corner of his mouth flashed coldly, and he bit Igarashi's shoulder.

"Don't go!"

Fortunately, Igarashi noticed Eri's movements in time and relaxed the muscles on his shoulders. Otherwise, even if Eri's teeth were sharp and her mouth was sharp, Igarashi would be hurt when she bit her body. After going to a cafe that looked full of temptations, Igarashi lost interest. Although the maid outfit was very nice, the most important thing was to see who it was on. Although the passers-by were also beautiful, they were not as good as the girls around him. Far.

"I know, I know, I won't go."

Turning his gaze to Eiri, Igarashi imagined how the maid outfit would look on Eiri. Yesterday's "gift" to Kato Megumi was white stockings, and today's "gift" to Eiri is the maid outfit. Although it is Gifts, but in fact they are all Igarashi's unabashed personal hobbies.

"Are you thinking bad things?!"

Eiri noticed Igarashi's malicious gaze and looked at Igarashi warily.

"how could be."

Igarashi shook his head with a clear conscience. He was obviously thinking of giving Eiri a gift, so how could it be considered a bad thing?

"Whatever you want to buy, don't worry."

Since it was a date, Igarashi naturally had to bear all the expenses of the beautiful girl. This was the first time he dated Eiri after coming to this world. During this period, the girl worked hard to help him draw the illustrations of Sword Art Online. Now I finally let Igarashi Lan found an opportunity to express his gratitude in a small way.

"Humph, of course I won't have any scruples, you are a rich man now."

Eiri smiled without restraint. Akihabara is in Tokyo, and Toyosaki Academy is in Chiba. Eiri is not afraid of people she knows appearing here, so she naturally doesn't have many scruples when getting along with Igarashi. From the moment she chose Akihabara for her date (shopping), Eri-ri had no intention of leaving empty-handed. It would be a pity not to fight hard.

Although there are also a lot of people in Akihabara, it is less crowded than yesterday, which is more like a shopping mall. Igarashi and Eiri don't have to struggle to move among the crowds of people.

Eri, who was very interested, took Igarashi to a large store selling all kinds of otaku products. There was a large poster at the door of the store.
