Chapter 193

Because there were too many things stuffed in, Miss Goblin was staggering when she walked back that day.

After confirming the direction of the new work,

"Miss Yuanzi, my new work has been decided!"

Hikigaya Hachiman took a moment to talk to the editor.

"Hey, so fast?"

Machida Enko was surprised, and then realized something.

"Oh, it's Teacher Yuezi, then it's okay."

She was used to the procrastination of other writers under her, so she felt a little weird every time she faced Teacher Yue's "super speed".

"What's the subject?"

she asked next.

"Magical girl."

"Ah? Did I hear it wrong? Could you ask the teacher to say it again?"

"You heard it right, it's a magical girl."

After Machida Enzi confirmed again, a big question mark appeared above her head.

What subject is this?

This is too unpopular!

In the animation industry, there is indeed a lot of market for some sub-oriented animations, but in the light novel industry, she has basically never heard of related themes. At most, there are elements such as magical girls.

So she asked again: "Is it a Western fantasy novel with magical girl elements, or a fused local Western fantasy?"

"Miss Yuanzi, you may have misunderstood something. What I mean is that the magical girl is the main body of the story... Of course, it will be slightly different from the magical girl you know."

Hikigaya Hachiman emphasized.

"Okay, teacher, just be happy."

Machida Enzi thought she understood what he meant.

Anyway, the teacher has never let me down, and now I should have the same confidence. It's weird!

After hanging up the phone.

"I hope there won't be any big fun like being cut in half."

Machida Enzi felt a faint feeling in her heart.

It is not that similar situations have never happened in the industry. Well-known creators changed their themes abruptly, but because they were particularly uncomfortable with it, their sales were much lower than expected, and they had to cut their sales in half.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has reached the halfway point. It may just be because the gap is too big and the author can't bear the gap, so he has to end it in a hurry.

Therefore, as an editor, she should be worried.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

A few days later, a piece of gossip came out.

The theme and direction of the new work "Moonlight Is So Beautiful" quickly became known and sparked heated discussions.

"Did you hear about it? Teacher Tsukoshi's next work seems to be related to magical girls."

"It's true or false, don't lie to me. What's the point of writing about a magical girl?"

"It's true. I can prove it. I was in the editorial office listening to them talking about it...!"

"Well, I was the cell phone they were using to make calls."

"Believe first, then believe! No matter what the subject matter is, the old thief can give everyone a new life!"

"No way? Are you going to write about street-level themes like magical girls? Does the old thief misunderstand his audience?"

"I think Lao Zai is heading in the right direction! Let me tell you, Lao Zai also has a lot of female fans. I joined a otaku group, and there are many CP fans of Lao Zai and Mr. Ke'er in it!"

"Upstairs, may I ask, do you otaku girls still need a boyfriend?"

"Go away, I'm thinking about the bodies of the greedy ladies, but let me protect their safety!"

"Let's get over it. People who are glib on the Internet but can only stutter in reality shouldn't dream of having a girlfriend!"

This kind of breaking news is actually quite normal. For example, when a comic is serialized, there will occasionally be relevant people breaking the news. In addition to hyping the popularity, it is also to see how the market will respond in advance.

In this case, adjustments may be made in time.

For example, if the author wants to go back on his word, he can arrange for an editor to refute the rumor online.

267 theme is just the shell, the important thing is the core

"Is this news true or false? Teacher Yueshi's new work is actually a magical girl?"

When Kirino Kosaka saw the news in the otaku group, her first reaction was not to believe it.

Although she likes watching magical girl-themed animations like Meruru, that doesn't mean she thinks magical girls are very popular in today's era.

Basically, her age is the upper limit for this kind of subject matter, and because of their age, most people like them only care about animation, light novels, and games, unless they are too deep into the genre...

"Magical girls, are they the same theme as the anime you like called Meruru, Kirino?"

Aragaki Ayase looked searching.

"That's true, but I don't think Teacher Yuezi takes that approach."

"Is there any basis for this?"

"No, it's just my intuition."

Kosaka Kirino shook his head.

As an old fan, she must have a very high level of trust in Teacher Yue Se, so she believed that there must be something unusual in this.

After all, if it’s really like Melulu’s style, then probably only people like her will like it, right?

"It is impossible for Teacher Yueze to make such a mistake. What's more, after all, this is just a rumor. There is no real evidence, so there is no need to take it seriously."

She spread her hands and didn't care.

"Then, Kirino, why don't we just ask the teacher and find out whether it's true or false?"

Aragaki Ayase clapped her hands and said expectantly.

"That's right. Since the last visit, I haven't dared to step into the world called Shura Field again. Today I have an excuse to go there."

Kousaka Kirino's eyes lit up.

"Shura Field?"

Aragaki Ayase recalled the scene at that time and nodded silently.

Light novel department.

"It's true. Hachiman's next work is about magical girls. I remember that this is a type that you like very much, so you should be very happy, right?"

Ruri Gokou, who has the deepest connection with it, came forward to confirm.

"Huh?"

After confirming the truth, even Kousaka Kirino was stunned.

"To be precise, the theme of magical girls is more of a shell. The important thing is the core hidden after peeling off the surface. That is the most important and attractive place."

Hikigaya Hachiman raised his finger and added.

Just like in the magical girl Madoka, the magical girl who made a wish, her own body has become unimportant. What is important is the soul gem hidden deep in the soul.

Don't you think so?

The truth revealed after tearing off the surface, the phase change under the drastic gap, is the most wonderful taste.

"Is that so."

Kousaka Kirino breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, if it is a work like Meruru, it is really a bit childish and not suitable for high school students and above."

Aragaki Ayase said with deep approval.

"Ayase, don't think I don't know you are implying me!"

He also got a roll of the eyes from Kousaka Kirino.

"Then, Senior Hikigaya, and everyone else, we will say goodbye."

After getting the answer, the two did not stay for too long and left quickly.

"It seems to have caused quite a stir again, senior."

Karina Yuta turned her head and said.

"It can be regarded as unexpected. I can still understand everyone's concern."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked relieved, opened his mobile phone, saw the questions from his friends, and then showed a more wonderful smile.

…

"Hikigaya, I heard that your new work is about a magical girl, are you serious?"

When the get out of class was over, Yukinoshita Yukino waited until the person sitting in front of her left the seat, then put one hand in front of her cherry lips and asked in a low voice.

It felt sneaky.

Of course, this was mainly for his sake, so as not to expose a more sensational secret.

What is coming will always come.

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed in his heart.

Then he responded: "Yes, Yukinoshita, you seem to care a lot?"

It would be a lie to say that you don't care.

Therefore, Yukinoshita Yukino nodded with a slight blush.

For the time being, she should be considered a fan, right?

Although she didn't admit it directly, through the analysis of her expression, Hikigaya Hachiman probably understood what the girl meant.

"Magical girl, you shouldn't know about Yukinoshita, right?"

He tried to continue the topic.

"It's not that I don't know anything about it. I watched this type of animation when I was a kid with my sister at home, but I stopped watching it when I was in the third or fourth grade of elementary school because my sister felt that it was not suitable for people of her age, so I..."

Yukinoshita Yukino simplified some of the content, but the meaning was very clear.

Because her sister thought it was childish, Yukinoshita was more blindly obedient at the time, so she made the same judgment.

From this perspective, the image of the girl has become more vivid, and there is no essential difference from ordinary girls.

"It's not wrong, actually. Different themes are aimed at different audiences. Because of this, the writing direction of certain themes will become more and more fixed, so that readers will have stereotypes, such as works about the other world like Long Aotian, academy flow, etc., and the plot development is rarely innovative, so the purpose of my next work is to help everyone break this stereotype and inject new vitality into the industry."

He laughed as he spoke.

Although there are considerations in this regard, it is more just to satisfy a certain desire in my heart.

It's like when you cry when you eat a sour lemon, you also want others to take a bite.

"Yes, is that so?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was fooled by him and almost believed him.

But she also understood his style of doing things, so she only extracted some key information.

"A more special story? It should be worth looking forward to."

The girl smiled, her eyes full of brilliance.

"Of course!"
