Chapter 148

Chapter 148 This is the first draft of the new book by Kanhara the old thief!

When Nanahara Yuu started to cook, in the editorial office of Dengeki Bunko in Tokyo.

Many editors were still working hard.

Although the number of manuscripts in July was much less than that in April, it was still a place of truth for the light novel industry.

Even in the off-season, many people submitted manuscripts.

"The recent manuscripts are really bad, and finally there is only one left..."

Among them, a miserable male editor was reviewing manuscripts while eating cookies.

If there were no accidents.

As long as he reviewed this last manuscript, his work this morning would be completed, but now the last light novel manuscript in his hand made him frown.

"The submission was rejected, and I decided to send the editor to undergo sex reassignment surgery to make his debut. 》

But as an editor's professional quality, he couldn't help but read it despite the discomfort.

In the end, he found that as expected, the overall writing was confusing and incomprehensible, and the whole setting had no story at all.

He immediately felt a familiar feeling in his heart.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the author's name, and suddenly he felt his eyes go dark.

"Sure enough, this is the light novel genius again!"

The first time was a succubus, the second time was a magical girl, and now he's going to debut as a transgender...

"Okay, okay, you're going to do this, right!"

He bit the cookie in his mouth hard, and then drew a bloody check mark on the review comments!

A circle means passing, and a check mark means rejection.

He then gave a very pertinent evaluation on the rejection comments:

[Relying on the defense (crossed out). ]

[It's well written, but the style of the novel doesn't quite meet the requirements of this library. I suggest you submit it to the Fujimi Library next door. ]

"Let this guy torture other libraries!" He wrote this sentence with gritted teeth and complained.

"But, I finally finished reviewing the manuscript."

He put down his pen with satisfaction, leaned against the back of the chair and let out a long sigh.

The back pad on the back of the chair relieved the back pain from sitting for a long time, and it was so comfortable that he squinted his eyes.

"The author just now seems to have submitted his manuscript at the same time as Kanhara, but the other author has already written a new book plan for his third book, while that guy has not had his manuscript approved once."

"He is really determined. Let Fujimi Bunko give this kind of talent to him."

When he thought of the tortured editor of Fujimi Bunko, he couldn't help but laugh happily.

He looked at the time on his watch. It was already 12:10.

It was almost time for lunch.

He stood up slightly and stretched his neck to the next table, "Senior Maeda, the editor-in-chief is not here today, how are we going to have lunch?"

At the next table, a middle-aged male editor was still frowning while reviewing the manuscript, but when he heard someone calling him, the middle-aged man named Maeda was slightly startled. He looked up and smiled, "It's Toyama, wait for me, let's go downstairs and eat together later."

He had almost finished reviewing the manuscript in his hand.

The young editor Yuanshan was stunned, "Did Senior Yuanshan find a treasure?"

Senior Maeda pondered for a moment, hesitating, "......Not really, it's badly written, but the setting is interesting."

"What's the title?" Yuanshan immediately became interested.

If even an old editor like Senior Maeda finds it interesting, then the setting must be very novel.

"I was expelled from the monster book, and married into the Kingdom of Light." Maeda answered expressionlessly.

Yushan: "......"

Well, the setting is indeed quite novel, but it's so novel that no one can accept it.

Suddenly.

"Have you finished your work? Come and eat first." Editor-in-chief Kagurazaka walked into the office with a large bag of lunch boxes and said with a smile, "I brought you some fast food."

'Just the Style' is a fast food chain brand in Japan that is characterized by large quantities and fullness. The clean, transparent and visible production process, coupled with the not-so-expensive price, has always been popular among many office workers.

The members of the editorial team cheered when they saw that their team leader had prepared lunch thoughtfully!

"Wow, team leader!"

"So many servings, the boss must have spent a lot of money."

"I want the hamburger, it's really good."

"Then I want the fried chicken neck with garlic sprouts."

"..."

The editor-in-chief of Kagura class dragged his chair over, sat down, folded his arms, looked at everyone and smiled: "Let's go eat sukiyaki together after get off work, I'll treat you."

Everyone was stunned and asked suspiciously:

"Boss, could it be that any top writer has submitted an article?" Yuanshan asked while eating.

Although the editor-in-chief of Kagura class brought them lunch many times, it is obvious that they can only enjoy large-scale consumption such as barbecue, sukiyaki, and izakaya when they work overtime.

It is not the essay season in April and September recently. In this case, only the first drafts submitted by top writers need such a show!

Kagurazaka smiled and said, "You guessed right. It seems that Toyama has gradually adapted to the life of an editor."

"Ahem." Editor Toyama coughed lightly, "Don't mention it. Today I received another incredible manuscript. I regret becoming an editor. It would be nice to have a top writer to refresh my eyes."

Maeda, who was standing by, also put down "The Son-in-law of the Kingdom of Light" in his hand, looked at the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka and asked, "This manuscript is from Mr. Mura Masayuki, I think she should have almost finished writing "Phantom Blade."

Kagurazaka smiled dumbly and said helplessly: "Mura Masaru's work has indeed been completed, but because of some decisions made by the library, she seems to be angry and unwilling to submit the manuscript..."

"Unwilling to submit the manuscript?" Everyone was stunned.

An editor asked with a strange look on his face: "Is it because of the electric shock chain novel, editor-in-chief, will Mura Masaru plan to change jobs because of this?"

For a light novel author of Senju Mura Masaru's level, even if there is a sky-high breach of contract fee in the contract, it is hard to guarantee that other libraries will not be tempted.

Kagurazaka waved his hand and smiled: "She won't do such a small thing, at most she is a little sulky, don't worry, I have thought of a way."

Everyone was relieved when they heard it.

Although they didn't know what solution their team leader had come up with, since she said so, there must be no problem.

"Who is that?" Everyone was even more confused, put down their chopsticks and looked at the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka.

"Shokudo Kunimitsu?"

"......"

"Although Kunimitsu writes about food, his pen name is Shido Kunimitsu......"

"Ahem, they are all the same."

There are many top writers in Dengeki Bunko, but their group is a newly established group, and there are not many veteran writers. But for a moment, they really couldn't think of who it was.

"Don't guess!" Kagurazaka's face became helpless, "It's the old thief Kanhara......"

Everyone was stunned! Is it Kanhara Yuxin's manuscript?

The chopsticks in Yuanshan's hand suddenly fell to the ground with a "clack". He looked at Kagurazaka with a look of shock, "God... Didn't Mr. Kanhara just finish writing a new book plan?"
