"Kagurakaka, we've already decided on next week's recommendation and the novels that will be released this month. If you suddenly add a new light novel, doesn't that mean that we'll change some of the novels midway?"
In Dengeki Bunko's chief editor's office, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in the chief editor's office, looking at Acorus Kagura who was standing in front of him.
"Chief editor, I suggest that we put aside those light novels that follow the trend and focus on nurturing new works with potential." Acorus Kagura said while holding the original manuscript of Accelerated World.
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Newcomers' works. Newcomers' works nowadays are either following the trend or following the trend. There's no point in changing them, right?"
"No."
Acorus Kagura shook her head and handed the manuscript of Accelerated World to the chief editor and said, "Chief editor, please read this light novel first, and then decide whether or not it's worthy of next week's recommendation."
"Accelerated World?"
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows. To be honest, many of the themes of light novels had already been written, and it was difficult to see a novel with a unique theme or genre. Just the name of the book, Accelerated World, moved the chief editor who had more than ten years of experience. After a moment of silence, he opened the manuscript and began reading.
As a senior chief editor in the industry, he naturally wouldn't determine the success or failure of a book in the first few thousand words. He would read the accelerated world bit by bit until the appearance of Black Snow Girl. The entire plot suddenly became full of interest, and the depressed plot at the beginning began to be released. Next was the story of Tian Chunxue becoming stronger bit by bit, and the first battle was described very brilliantly.
"This is youth!"
After reading for a full thirty minutes, the chief editor couldn't help but sigh. In the end, although this kind of story was simple, reading it made him, who had lived for more than forty years, have a feeling of blood boiling.
Speaking of which, every reader of light novels likes to put themselves in the shoes of the characters. Most of the people who like light novels are under the age of thirty. As long as there's an outstanding character in a light novel, it can attract some readers. Every character in Accelerated World is extremely likable, and it's hard not to be popular in a light novel.
"Chief editor, you …"
Acorus Kagura looked at the chief editor who was holding the draft of the accelerated world and asked in surprise, "Do you mean you agree?"
In fact, this chief editor was the new chief editor of the Dengeki Bunko. Acorus Kagura was not very clear about this chief editor's personality, and she did not know if this editor would agree with her opinion.
"Well, I've decided to overturn the previous arrangement and put 'World of Acceleration' on the recommendation spot, and contact the publication of this book as soon as possible!"
The chief editor nodded and smiled, "Kaguraza-san, to be honest, just like you, I have a lot of opinions about the current development of light novels. I hope that we can continue to work together in the future."
Acorus Kagura did not expect the new editor-in-chief to be so easy to talk to. She even praised her directly. She immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, editor-in-chief. I will work harder."
"Well, then contact the author of this book as soon as possible and get this book published. I can't wait to see the sales of this book."
"Yes, Chief Editor!"
.....
"Mu Fan -sensei, your work has been approved by the Dengeki Bunko. It will be recommended next week, and the publication will be arranged."
In the gourmet department, Mu Fan took out his mobile phone. When he received this message, he couldn't help but feel happy. It seems that 'World of Acceleration' has been approved by the editorial department.
In fact, this was also within Mu Fan's expectations, but he also knew that Acorus Kagura's efforts must be involved. He took out his mobile phone and quickly typed a reply, "Sorry to trouble you, Editor Kaguraza-san."
It was now the after-school Gourmet Department club activity. Because it had been a while, many students had come to the Gourmet Department to eat and prepare for their club activities.
Ashina Tsukuyomi wiped the sweat on her forehead, walked out with a plate of cooked dishes, and put it on the table. She looked at Mu Fan who was holding his mobile phone with a smile and asked, "Is there something happy?"
"It's just about the light novel." Mu Fan shook his head. He felt that he should have some secrets. He couldn't show off to Ashina as soon as the novel was about to be published.
At least wait until it was published before giving her a copy!
"Oh."
Ashina Tsukuyomi didn't ask any more questions. She pointed to the delicious dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Mu-sensei, thank you for teaching me these past few days. Come and try the shredded pork with green pepper that I made myself."
"Sensei?"
Mu Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He lowered his head and looked at the shredded pork with green pepper that Ashina Tsukuyomi made. The score given by the system was actually 65 points.
This made Mu Fan secretly surprised. Ashina's cooking skills were really good. Even without the help of a recipe, she could imitate him and make the shredded pork with green pepper with a good score of 65 points.
"You've already passed. Keep up the good work next time!" Mu Fan praised as he took a bite.
Logically speaking, the food made by the famous lady in school, Ashina Tsukuyomi, was not easy to taste. Now that he could eat at the same table as Ashina, it was even more different.
Hmm … In short, although it wasn't instant gratification, it was better than instant gratification!
"Mu-sensei, this is the shredded pork with garlic sauce that I made according to the shredded pork with green pepper."
At this time, Ashina walked into the kitchen and brought out another plate of shredded pork with garlic sauce that was similar to the shredded pork with green pepper. She placed it in front of Mu Fan.
"You made so much today!"
Mu Fan looked at the two different plates of shredded pork with astonishment. Speaking of which, the shredded pork with garlic sauce that Ashina Tsukuyomi made herself was also given a score of 65 points by the system.
In fact, shredded pork with garlic sauce was also a Chinese dish. It was named after the flavor of the fish. However, Mu Fan had never tried the shredded pork with garlic sauce that was modified according to the shredded pork with green pepper.
However, with a score of 65 points, it shouldn't be a problem to eat it.
Mu Fan picked up the wood ears and shredded pork and put them in his mouth. A fresh and tender fragrance wafted into his mouth. The refreshing aroma made Mu Fan feel refreshed. It was as if his fatigue had been swept away. Mu Fan said seriously, "Tsukuyomi, your wood ears are delicious. This dish is more delicious than the shredded pork with green pepper. Plus, the shredded pork is full of chewiness. I estimate that it can be sold for 6,000 yen."
"Is that so? Thank you for the compliment!"
Ashina Tsukuyomi was overjoyed. In her opinion, even if Mu Fan wasn't a chef at Enetsu Gakuen, his culinary skills wouldn't be much lower than those people's from the fact that he could make glowing dishes. As someone who loved to cook, it was already not easy for her to get a compliment from Mu Fan.
.....
After cleaning up the gourmet department, Mu Fan and Ashina threw the bags full of garbage into the school's trash can.
After washing their hands and locking the door of the gourmet department, the two of them went to the entrance of Toyonosaki Gakuen under the attention of the school's students.
"Tsukuyomi, see you tomorrow," Mu Fan said goodbye as he glanced at the car that had been waiting for a long time at Tsukuyomi's house.
As he had to go to Capella's place after school, Mu Fan didn't want to waste too much time. After all, he still had a younger sister at home that he needed to take care of. He didn't know how long it would take for him to come back from Capella's place.
"Okay."
