Zongman: Why is your comic full of knives?

"Teacher Nangong, when do you plan to start writing the fourth volume of"Three Questions on the End of the World"?"

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Nangong Mu said helplessly:

"Editor Machida, didn’t you say before that if the speed of publication is too fast, it is easy to be underexposed, and ultimately the sales volume will not meet expectations?"

I have said this, but it is not applicable to a cheater like you!!

Machida Yuanzi couldn't help but roar in her heart.

The first volume, the second volume, and the third volume, the first month sales of one volume are higher than the previous volume.

She has never seen such a weird curve in all her years as editor-in-chief!!

Although she didn't have to work overtime this New Year and was very happy, without the explosive sales of"Three Questions of the End of the World", she always felt that the small money she should have received was a lot less.

The most important thing is that recently she can't see many readers asking about the fourth volume of"Three Questions of the End of the World" under Nangong Mu's SNS account.

Even because the speed of publication this time exceeded the previous issues (one volume per month), there are rumors that the teacher has run out of ideas after writing the third volume!

As the editor-in-charge of Nangong Mu, how can she turn a blind eye to such a thing!

Thinking of this, Machida Yuanzi spoke righteously:

"Teacher Nangong, as a genius, how can you compare with those ordinary people! ?"

"For those people, it is true, but for you, a genius like you, the so-called sales volume is simply meaningless!"

It is January 4th.

The office dogs have returned to the company and started working.

This is why Machida Yuanzi called in the afternoon.

If it is a holiday, she is a dog to work!

Facing Machida Yuanzi's flattery, Nangong Mu smiled indifferently.

"Don't worry, Editor-in-Chief Machida"

"《I'm already writing the fourth volume of"Three Questions of the End of the World"."

Machida Sonoko's eyes lit up:"So when will it be finished! ?"

It's not that I don't trust Nangong Mu.

Although there are many authors who are like this:

Don't worry, I'm already writing it.

I'll bring it to you in a while.

It's okay, you can rest assured! He verbally agreed, but his hands are still slacking off.

If you don't take the initiative to ask, when the deadline is approaching, the other party may move the computer with a few words written in front of you.

But Machida Sonoko is 100% assured about Nangong Mu.

As a good friend of Minano Matoi, she knows that the other party has no record of delaying the manuscript!

Even every time, the new work has just started serialization, if it can be sold as a single volume, the other party can immediately come up with a complete set of works!

Coupled with the other party's previous super high efficiency,

Machida Sonoko is not worried that the other party will deceive her!

The reason for confirming it again is to facilitate the relevant arrangements in advance!

"Maybe in the middle of this month." Nangong Mu answered without thinking.

Machida Yuanzi's smile became even brighter:

"It seems that I have done too much."If he could produce it in the middle of this month, it was obvious that he had already written a lot.

Even if she didn't urge him, she might get a call from him in two days.

"I was still a little impatient."

After a little self-reflection, they exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Machida Yuanzi also hung up the phone.

Nangong Mu's eyes moved, looking at the"Four Lies" he had just finished painting in front of him, and he sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, let's finish"Four Lies" today."

As for the fourth volume of"Three Questions of the End of the World", it won't be too late to spend a day tomorrow to finish it.

The content of the three volumes is enough for him to draw a lot.

So Nangong Mu didn't expect the fourth volume to be released so soon at the beginning.

《The third episode of"Three Questions of the End of the World" is indeed the climax of the whole work.

But the content of the subsequent two volumes is not bad.

After all, the protagonist of this work is William, and Chtholly is just the most popular character after the animation.

The next two volumes sublimate William's sadness to the extreme!

William, who lives aimlessly, meets Elmeria again.

In this place, in order to wait for him, she calls her"Dad" with her voice even if it is not a human voice. For more than five hundred years, he has been here, singing like a broken music box, just to hear his words"I'm back", and then bake the best cream cake for William to eat.

But this is already an impossible wish, and she can no longer be saved.

So William pierced her chest with his sharp blade and stopped her singing.

I'm sorry.

He failed to save the most important person to him.

Even so, the girl still smiled to calm her anger before she died.

Such an expression can hurt people's hearts even more.

And his story has come to an end here.

Retracting his thoughts, Nangong Mu couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he didn't like such a tragedy.

But...

"Who makes the fans like him?"

Nangong Mu shook his head.

He has paid too much on the road of pampering fans.

"Well, since editor Machida asked, let's spend one day tomorrow to write the fourth volume."

Speaking of which, the holiday should be used for rest, why is he working harder instead!?

Damn it!

After a self-deprecating sentence, Nangong Mu still chose to work honestly.

Hayasaka Ai was hesitant to speak, but finally couldn't help but persuade:

"Miss Kaguya, are you sure you don't want to take a look?"

"I won't look at it!"

Shinomiya Kaguya said expressionlessly:"I was fooled by those guys last time."

"I kept saying that this gift was great and this song was nice, but......"

Recalling how she cried in her room, a trace of shame and anger flashed across Kaguya Shinomiya's usually dull eyes.

However,"Three Questions on the End of the World" did not hurt her. After all, the description full of sadness was only read a few times before the girl sealed it without any hesitation.

As for the video, she did not even watch it once.

"As long as I have this picture, I will be very satisfied!"

Looking at the one-meter-long painting hanging in her room,

Shinomiya Kaguya's face showed a satisfied look.

Hayasaka Ai sighed helplessly:"But this time the gift given by this teacher is really not a scam."

As the other party's personal maid,

Hayasaka Ai knew how many bad things the other party had encountered this New Year.

If it were not the case, she would not think about making the other party happy.

Faced with Hayasaka Ai's persuasion, Shinomiya Kaguya hesitated for a moment, and still said:"No!"

Maybe the gift is really not a scam, but she definitely doesn't want to take any risks!

As long as she is not curious, there will be no danger!

After all, she doesn't want to experience the feeling of crying again!!

Hayasaka Ai was silent for a while, and took out a picture book from somewhere.

"Kaguya-sama, do you want to see this?"

"What's this?"

"《Magic Circle》、《"Hana" and"Three Questions of the End of the World"."

Without waiting for Kaguya to speak, Hayasaka Ai continued:"The ending is very beautiful."

Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes lit up, and she instantly snatched the picture book from Hayasaka Ai's hand, but her tone was slow:"Let me see."

The picture book of more than 10 pages is not long.

Shinomiya Kaguya finished it quickly.

And when she was halfway through, she couldn't stop smiling.

She successfully evolved from the previous"cold Kaguya-sama" to"silly beauty".

Seeing this.

Hayasaka Ai also breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but feel happy for Kaguya who smiled.

But......

After watching the work, the smile on Kaguya's face only lasted for a few minutes before disappearing.

When she spoke again, her tone was even colder than before.

"Hayasaka, don't show me this kind of thing next time."

"I'm a little tired, you should go and rest too."

What's wrong with this guy?

Although she was full of questions, Hayasaka Ai nodded:

"Okay, Miss Kaguya."

When she was the only one left in the room, the cold mask on Kaguya's face disappeared.

Her ruby-like pupils revealed loneliness and desolation.

"This kind of love doesn't exist in reality."

January 5, the second day of work.

Shueisha. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Mr. Editor-in-Chief, are you going to miss this afternoon's regular meeting?"

Torishima Kazumitsu showed a helpless expression:

"If you are asking how to avoid attending the meeting this afternoon, I can answer you."

"Now that things have come to this, how can I not agree?"

Minano Chan smiled and said,"Thank you, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, for your understanding."

"Are you going to deal with the animation matters this afternoon?" Torishima Kazuhiro showed a curious expression.

Minano Matoi corrected:"Not dealing with them, but recommending a good work to them."

Torishima Kazuhiro smiled and said,"Whatever you say, it's what I will say.""

"Can you let me take a look at Mr. Nangong's script? I'm a fan of the teacher! I'm looking forward to his new work."

"That kind of thing is not taken for granted..."

Minano Chan put away his smile and said,"Is it not possible?"

"......"

You're breathing so hard when talking to an old man like me!

I couldn't help but look forward to it!!

Torishima Kazumitsu blew his beard and glared, waving his hands to drive him away:"Go, go, go"

"I get angry when I see you, girl."

Jianye Chan nodded to the old man and said,"Then I'll leave first, Mr. Editor-in-Chief."

SHAFT

They belong to the same group as Shueisha and Fujimi Publishing.

They even acquired WHITEFOX two years ago, which shows that they are very ambitious.

But the fact is that they have not produced any representative works in the past two years, and they are on the verge of losing their animation production!

Now the most important thing for them is to ensure that they can produce a work that can be ranked in the top three at the end of the year!

Otherwise, they will lose their qualification to produce animation.......

Just thinking about what would happen, the faces of the senior executives could not help but darken, and their scalps felt numb.

It was hard to say about the ordinary employees, but they would definitely be in big trouble! At

17:00 in the afternoon.

Masato Marukawa said with a headache:"Isn't that gentleman here yet?"

"Mr. President, it seems that he hasn't arrived yet."

Due to the current predicament of the company, the group headquarters arranged a specialist to come and help.

Of course, that was just a superficial excuse.

In fact, they didn't trust them!?

Although he knew this in his heart, Marukawa Masato didn't feel angry.

If the other party could really solve the current predicament, he would be grateful to the other party.

"I'm afraid that the other party doesn't understand anything."

With such concerns in mind, Marukawa Masato sighed.

"Forget it, let's go to the meeting room first."

For every company, the routine meeting on Friday is indispensable.

When we arrived at the meeting room, Marukawa Masato showed a surprised expression on his face, and then a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Little sister, are you lost?"

The other person was wearing a white dress and looked like a little girl.

This person was naturally wild.

"Hello, Mr. Marukawa."

Minano Chan's expression was a little cold, a little different from her usual style.

"I'm a specialist sent from the headquarters."

"I think you should have received the news in advance."

Marukawa Masato was stunned, and then a warm smile appeared on his face:

"welcome"

"Miss, what is your name?"

"Just call me wild."

"It's meeting time. Shall we go in together?"

"Hmm."

Why did the group arrange such a little girl to come down?

Marukawa Masato was a little puzzled.

Although it is wrong to judge people by appearance,

Minano's appearance is indeed easy to be misunderstood.

Entering the conference room, there were already many people sitting inside.

They were all senior executives of the company.

Without delay, the group sat down

"This is Miss Minano."

"��Everyone knows the situation of the previous company, so the group specially arranged a specialist to come and help us."

Minano Chan stood up from his seat and nodded to everyone present.

Then he said:"Hello, everyone"

"Before the meeting begins, let me say a few words."

"Everyone here knows more about animation than I do, so I won't interfere with your daily work."

"But please also keep in mind what kind of crisis the company is about to face."

"If the worst happens, I think it's the worst outcome that neither of us wants to see."

After a pause, Jianye looked around at the expressions of the people.

Seeing that many people had serious expressions and frowned, he then spoke.

"Today, I came here mainly to provide everyone with a plan."

As he said this, Minano Chan took out the script that he had prepared in advance.

The person in charge of the office work immediately came over, took the scripts, and distributed them.

"Let's take a look first. If you think the script is not good, we can proceed to the next meeting."

"If I think the script is good, I want to know how long it will take to produce it."

After saying that, Minano Chan sat back in his seat.

It can be seen that many people have some complaints about Minano Chan's behavior.

The small expression on his face, the slightly frowned brows, the dissatisfied expression.

The Adam's apple that moved up and down subconsciously seemed to want to complain, but then he forced himself to hold it back.

Minano Chan saw it, but he didn't intend to say anything.

Maybe it's a bit of a distraction, but as an outsider, you have to show your strong side at this time.

Otherwise, you can't suppress these guys.

Seeing that the president, Marukawa Masato, didn't say anything, these senior executives had to suppress their dissatisfaction and looked at the script in their hands.

Marukawa Masato was very satisfied with Minano Chan.

As the saying goes, you are not afraid of god-like opponents, but you are afraid of pig-like teammates. If an amateur with a big addiction to food insists on giving orders, you can know what kind of disaster it will be just by thinking about it.

The other party said that he would not interfere as soon as he came, which was equivalent to giving him a reassurance.

Then, taking out the script made him even more surprised.

A good work, the script is an indispensable part!

The reason why there have been no outstanding works in these years is because there is no good script in hand!

"If this script is good enough, then all the current crises will be solved!"

Thinking of this,

Masato Marukawa looked at the script with a bit of heat.

For these related senior executives, they may be able to find a way out in advance, but as the president, he is so old now.

If such a serious mistake really occurs before retirement, then he can't spend his entire old age well!

So when it comes to the desire to solve the problem, no one present is more urgent than him!

Suppressing the various emotions surging in his heart,

Masato Marukawa opened the script in front of him.

Seeing that the president had already read it seriously, the others could only suppress their dissatisfaction and read it together.

The meeting room also became extremely quiet.

However....

In less than ten minutes, the silence was broken.

"Ms. Minano, are you sure you got the right script?"
