(Chapter 3,)
The Undying River Bookstore was the largest publishing house in Japan in this world. It was a publishing house that basically covered all fields, especially light novels.
This was because the three major light novel libraries in Japan, Thunderbolt Library, Undying River Sneaker Library, and Fantastic Library were all light novel libraries under the Undying River Bookstore. Other than the three strongest light novel libraries, many other light novel libraries were under the Undying River Bookstore. One could tell from the name of Undying River Sneaker Library.
The Undying River Senemaker Literature Library was only responsible for the largest literature library in the youth light novel section. There were many literature libraries that were responsible for young girl light novels, as well as a large number of literature libraries that were responsible for the genre of light novels. However, because the novels published by these literature libraries were niche, they were not as large as the three major literature libraries.
It could be said that as long as one wrote a novel, especially a light novel, it was impossible to bypass the Immortal River Bookstore. The only difference was which library one submitted to.
In fact, the Forbidden Magic Books Index was considered a fantasy book for teenagers. It was not a problem to submit to any of the three major libraries. Therefore, Fantastic Library was only the first library that Kato submitted. If Fantastic did not work, Kato would also try Lightning Strike or Sneaker. They were all the same.
His first submission received a response from Fantastic, one of the three major book stacks. The strong response surprised Kato. After all, from the reply letter from Fantastic, the person in charge of Kato's novel seemed to be the chief editor of Fantastic, the deputy chief editor of the Undying River Bookstore, and the first person in charge of Fantastic.
With Fantastic Literature's status, the number of manuscripts they received every day was definitely overwhelming. It was definitely not easy for the chief editor of the library to take a fancy to it. It was obvious that Fantastic Literature was very optimistic about Kato's forbidden magic book catalog.
Therefore, during the Sunday holiday, Kato came to Tokyo with his manuscript of the Index of Forbidden Magic Books.
Chiba City was not far from Tokyo. According to the geographical location of China, the relationship between Chiba City and Tokyo was almost the same as the relationship between Tianjin and Beijing. With the size of Japan, the distance between Chiba City and Tokyo was much smaller than the distance between Tianjin and Beijing. After all, the area of the two was not the same.
As one of the largest light novel library in Japan, Fantastic Literature was located in the Urban area of Tokyo. According to the address given by Fantastic Literature, Kato quickly found Fantastic Literature in Tokyo.
After revealing his identity and purpose of visit to the front desk, Kato was quickly led to the reception room by the staff. According to the staff of the library, the chief editor in charge of Kato was not in and was currently in a meeting at the headquarters. Kato needed to wait a little longer.
Since the editor-in-chief in charge of him was not around, Kato was not in a hurry. He had been rushing his manuscript for the past few days, and even with the help of a certain time-traveling cheat, he was quite tired. In addition, he was coming to Fantastic Library today. It could be said that Kato had also changed his manuscript last night. It was not bad to take a break in the lounge of Fantastic Library.
The lounge of Fantastic Literature wasn't far from the reception room. When Kato Kun came to the lounge from the reception room and was about to push open the lounge door to enter, the slightly open lounge door suddenly opened from the inside. A girl who looked about his age appeared at the door.
She was wearing a long white dress, white leather boots, and knee-length black silk tights. She had long black hair and a white headband on it. Her pretty face had a shy and nervous expression.
This quiet girl seemed to have been observing the situation outside through the gap of the slightly opened lounge door. When she saw Kato standing at the lounge door and preparing to push it open, the girl opened the door from the inside.
" Erm, Mr. Editor, no, Machida-sensei, nice to meet you. I'm Shiyu Kasumigaoka, the author of the Love Metronome."
Senior?
When the girl with long, straight black hair lowered her head and introduced herself nervously, Kato was stunned. She actually met Senpai here?!
Moreover, it seemed that the senior sister treated him as the editor of the library. It seemed that the senior sister was brought to the lounge by the staff because the chief editor was not around. Moreover, from the way she looked now, she should have waited for a while.
Kato wanted to explain something to Senpai, but she didn't give him the chance to do so.
"I…"
Before Kato Kun could explain, Senpai interrupted him,"Editor sensei, you must be Machida sensei?”
"I…"
Kato Kun was about to explain again when he was interrupted by Senpai."Erm, I'm sorry, Machida Sensei. This is my first time submitting a manuscript, so I'm a little nervous right now. This is my manuscript, please take a look!”
The girl took a deep breath and suppressed her surging emotions. Her hands were trembling from nervousness as she handed the manuscript to Kato.
"I…"
"Ah, I'm really sorry. Please come in.”
When she saw Kato Hiko being stunned by her series of actions at the door, the girl seemed to have realized the problem. She seemed to have been blocking the way of this very young editor teacher. This made the girl, who was already at a loss, blush even more.
However, after secretly sizing up Kato, Senpai realized that this editor teacher was really young.
Kato opened his mouth but couldn't say anything in the end. However, he was surprised and amused to see that Senpai, who was still young and inexperienced, didn't look like the black-bellied and sadistic person he remembered. It seemed that Senpai wasn't born to be a black-bellied and sadistic person. At the very least, Senpai was quite cute at this time, Kato thought to himself.
After being carefully ushered into the lounge by the nervous senpai, Kato secretly glanced at senpai, who was standing behind him with her head slightly lowered and her hands tightly holding onto her manuscript. After adjusting his tone, he took the novel from senpai's hands in a dignified manner.
" Uh-huh, I'm Machida from Fantastic Literature."
