章節 39: Wednesday Comes
But after observing it in the end, Utaha discovered that he was just being stubborn in this regard.
Considering the reversals and anti-routines that might surprise readers, Asahi surmised there might be more to the market, so he didn't mind, and let Utaha do what she did.
At the same time, in the past few days, Asaji had completed more than half of [Kotonoha no Niwa], with only two chapters plus one chapter with a perfect ending to complete.
And Hina was always complaining about whether Asahi was purposely putting up the heroine's prototype as her.
Because no matter how one looks at it, Yukino's essential character is very similar to Hina's.
And within the first two days, Hina saw through Asahi's previous misdirection: "Why did you cook to reward you for letting me read the original script? It is clear that you asked me to revise it."
Even though Hina saw this and said she would never make another one, she still took two lunch boxes up to the roof the next day.
It made the mother and little sisters in the family wonder if she was in a relationship. Otherwise, why would she make two lunch boxes every morning. Hina's appetite wasn't great, not to mention that one of them definitely ate more than a normal man would.
Hina couldn't deny it. After all, it was a bit too much to make lunch for a student every day, and it was still a male student, which likely led to unnecessary speculation.
It was too troublesome to explain, not to mention that other people might not believe it, so Hina hid it.
Otherwise, why would Hina do it for Asahi? Other students also only eat bread during the day, so how will Hina respond?
Sometimes you don't need to care about other people's opinions, there is nothing embarrassing between the two of you, Asahi told her this, too bad Hina can't run away.
"Phew! Tomorrow is Wednesday!"
Crossing his legs and placing his hands behind his head, Asahi closed his eyes and thought about it.
He has to request time off tomorrow to attend the Utaha autograph session. After all, it wasn't good to return to what he promised, and it only served as the stage for the first official meeting.
During the last illness, a sickly Utaha wrapped herself up and hid everything but her hands and feet.
Asahi didn't pay close attention. This chance meeting could be considered a form of thanks, and in talking to Sonoko about a new job, the question of whether to speed up serialization came up.
Since the serialization of [Kotonoha no Niwa] last week, it has received a lot of praise, which has boosted sales of Asahi's new issue.
Of course, since the audience wasn't that wide, Asahi speculates that if he had waited until the entire book was finished and published as a single volume, it might have sold around 100,000 copies.
Because of the subject matter and the fact that people who have read the series would not buy another finished product on purpose.
So Asahi thought about letting go at once, but with Sonoko's unspeakable suggestion, he finally rejected this idea.
Since the new edition is not very popular, the sales volume is not optimistic. To maintain this momentum, the person in charge naturally hopes to serialize once a week for maximum benefit.
But publishers should consider Asahi's thoughts. As pillar-level writers, if they offended Asahi for such a small gain, it would be a huge loss.
Fortunately, Asahi doesn't really care about this meager money. Instead of making it quickly, it's better to wait for [Kotonoha no Niwa] to ferment during this period of time. While gaining a wider audience, while making anime films, and then ditching them when the trend declines, adding another burn.
That way, the profits will be greater.
Short term gains, or long term gains. How Asahi chooses, he is not short of cash in the short term.
"Onii-chan! Let's eat!"
When Kobato's voice came, Asahi turned from his own world to reality: "Here I come."
Compared to the relaxed Asahi, Wednesday's protagonist was much more nervous.
...
In the rental house.
Utaha walked up and down a little irritated, the tension came from many aspects.
First, she was afraid that the autograph session would embarrass herself. This was his first time holding one, and secondly, when she thought of meeting Asahi tomorrow, his heart skipped a beat.
Tomorrow's vacation is set, and to top off the autograph session, Utaha chooses a new set of after-school clothes.
Not too flashy, not too plain, a light white casual coat with a fairly formal impression, with simple black stripes from the shoulders to the chest.
Sitting on the bed, Utaha was a little confused. She didn't know what tomorrow would be like, and she was looking forward to it.
She wanted to sleep and refresh his mind, but she couldn't sleep after lying down for a long time. She was so energetic that she didn't know what was going on. She woke up and wanted to write the third volume but couldn't continue. She had no idea where she was drifting when she was writing.
It wasn't easy for her to annoy Asahi. It wasn't long after the chat, and she couldn't find anything to talk about, so she harassed Sonoko.
As an editor, it was her job to solve the problems of the writers under her command. In the past, Asahi often abused her, and Sonoko was used to it.
Relying on his experience, she handled Utaha the same way she had handled Asahi in the beginning, but Utaha was a bit more of a hassle by comparison.
The two chatted from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. the next day, until Utaha finally fell asleep before ending the topic. The topic changes from what to do when nervous at first to what to dress better tomorrow, and so on.
All kinds of weird questions popped up one after another, luckily, Sonoko had experienced a lot of wind and waves, and although she was reluctant, she answered them all well.
After falling asleep hard, Utako wakes up at 8 a.m., and first thing in the morning is to take a shower, even though last night she had one.
In order to welcome this day in the best condition, she came out of the bathroom and changed into the clothes she bought yesterday. She rarely wore colorless lip balm, and she took off her black stockings on the balcony, and elegantly changed her leg tops.
After finishing everything, the time had come at 8.30am.
The time for the autograph session is 12:00 noon, because Utaha is not very famous, the bookstores willing to cooperate are not big, and the timing is not very good either.
Calculated according to the distance, about half an hour by bus only.
Utaha didn't dare to be as indifferent as Asahi and let things go it way, so it was better to leave now, and she might be able to make it before 9:30 a.m.
Arrived over an hour early, even though there were a few road accidents it was enough.
"Come on!"
Cheering in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Utaha took a deep breath.
