(All of a sudden, it was a little rushed. Please auto-submit!)）
Early in the morning on Sunday, June 5th, 2016, when Kato Hiko arrived at the office of the managing editor of Fantastic Literature, not only was Kato Hiko's editor in charge in the office, even Shiha Senpai was in Machida Yuanzi's office.
It was obvious that Shiwa Senpai had been called over by Machida Yuanko because of her novel. However, when she saw Kato Hiko, Shiwa Senpai, who was usually gentle in front of Machida Yuanko, suddenly had a sharp look in her eyes. This gave Kato, who had just entered, a huge shock.
From the night before yesterday to last night, because he was too happy playing with Keizan, he didn't notice his phone at all. It wasn't until this morning when Kato Hiko picked up his phone that had been turned off and charged it urgently that he realized that something was wrong.
Kato was shocked by the number of missed calls and unread emails on his phone. Not only did he receive a large number of missed calls and emails from Shiha Senpai, but he also received a large number of missed calls and emails from Danyuko and Yukino. This was also why Kato Hiko gave a lot of explanations to the three girls this morning.
He didn't know if Yukino and Danyuko, who were far away in Chiba, believed him or not, but Shiha clearly didn't believe Kato's explanation.
" Ahem, I'm sorry I'm late. I was too tired from signing the book a few days ago, so I slept a little soundly last night." Kato Kun was very nervous when he faced Senpai's sharp and scrutinizing gaze. After all, if Senpai knew what he had done with Keizan-chan two days ago, she might really kill him.
However, as a scumbag who was determined to open the Crystal Palace, how could he give up everything under such a gaze? At the very least, Kato Jun had the acting skills. Moreover, Kato Yan was not alone. There was another person backing him up!
" It's fine. Kato has been working too hard the past few days. It's our fault for letting Kato come to the library so early today. However, we need Kato's help with the rest of the forbidden magic book catalog, so Kato will have to work hard for a while."
After Kato Hiko finished speaking, Machida Yuanzi, who had been frowning recently, responded with a smile. Kato Mika, who had been observing Shiha's expression from the corner of his eye, saw that after Machida Yuanzi finished speaking, Shiha's eyes softened. Kato Hiko's worried heart finally relaxed.
" No problem, I'll cooperate with the library's promotional needs. Oh right, why is Teacher Shiyu here today?"
Kato Hiko smiled and said to Machida Yuanzi after seeing that Shiha believed him. His eyes were filled with gratitude. However, it was obvious that Machida Yuanzi had no idea what she had done to deserve Kato Hiko's gratitude. Although she was very puzzled, Machida Yuanzi did not hesitate.
" Kasumigaoka Sensei's novel, Love Metronome, has reached the stage where it can be published. That's why I asked Shiu-san to come over today to discuss the publication of the novel." After Machida Yuanzi finished speaking with a smile, Kato Hiko looked at Shiu-senpai, who was also looking at him, in surprise.
After hearing Kato Hiko's congratulations, although she had already believed Kato Hiko's explanation this morning, Shiha, who was still not very happy, smiled and even said shyly,""Thank you."
It was all thanks to Kato Hiko's help that she was able to edit the novel to the point where it could be published. Not to mention the suggestions that Kato Hiko had given her in the library lounge.
The male lead in her novel was based on Kato Hiko, and the female lead was based on herself. Under such circumstances, although the two of them were already in an established relationship, Shiha, who was rather conservative and shy, was still very happy when she heard Kato Hiko's congratulations.
As for the fact that Kato refused to answer her call and even switched off his phone yesterday, she didn't care that much anymore.
"Cough cough, Miss Shiyu, Kato Kun, can you wait for a moment?”
Seeing that the atmosphere between Kato Hiko and Shihaba-senpai was getting weirder and weirder, Machida Yuanko reminded them. After being interrupted by Machida Yuanko, Shihaba-san glared at Kato Hiko shyly before fleeing from Machida Yuanko's office.
Gazing at Shiha's disappearing figure, Kato Hiko smiled awkwardly.
"Oh right, Kato Kun, congratulations. This is the statistics of the Undying River Bookstore this morning."
After Shiha left, Machida Yuanzi did not pay any attention to Kato Hiko, who was feeling a little awkward at this time. Instead, she excitedly handed the statistics table in her hand to Kato Hiko.
Looking at Machida Yuanzi's expression, Kato Hiko knew that the sales of his novel should be good. However, when Kato Hiko took the statistics from Machida Yuanzi's hands and took a look, he was a little stunned.
" This, this is real?!"
Kato Hiko looked at Machida Yuanko in disbelief. He only reacted when he saw Machida Yuanko nod with a smile.
Kato Hiko couldn't be blamed for being so surprised, because the statistics on this chart were simply crazy. Not to mention that Akiyama Shinobu's 'My Girlfriend Is A Little Strange' had recently sold 300,000 copies in a single day. This number was indeed very high. According to the normal development pattern, it would be very easy for this novel to reach the estimated sales of 500,000 copies in the first week.
Of course, Kato Hiko still didn't know what kind of tricks Thunderbolt Literature had played the night before, which was why Shinobu Akiyama's novel had such explosive sales. According to the sales of this novel on the first day, it was possible that it would sell more than 800,000 copies in the first week, let alone 500,000 copies.
Akiyama Shinobu's novel was no longer going to break the sales record of the Water King Literature. It was even very likely that his sales would rank among the traditional novels. Of course, judging from the current situation, Akiyama Shinobu's novel was still not worth reading in front of those popular traditional novels.
One had to know that those popular traditional novels, even if they were reprinted, could easily sell more than a million copies in a week. However, it was obvious that there were not many such novels and novelists. Even in this world, such novelists were like treasures.
However, judging from the notes on the statistics, if Shinobu Akiyama could really break through 1 million in her first week, then she would have a certain qualification to be compared to these traditional writers who were like treasures. As for the new number one person in the light novel world, it would naturally be her.
Therefore, even though he wanted to compete with Shinobu Akiyama, the explosive sales of Shinobu Akiyama on the first day did not give Kato Hiko too much of a shock or surprise. After all, this was considered normal.
What really surprised him was the sales of his own novels. The sales of the Forbidden Magic Books Index reached 110,000 copies on the first day, which made him very surprised. No wonder when he came to the library today, the staff of the library looked at him as if they were looking at Camisar.
One had to know that the third place on this chart was only 10,000 copies of Kaoru's latest masterpiece, The End of the World. It was not even a fraction of Kato Hiko's sales!
In fourth place, Suzuki-sensei's first place light novel, Magic Hunter, also did not reach 10,000 sales. It sold a few hundred copies less than Yuno Kaoru.
As for the sales of the rest of the novels, 500 copies would be enough to rank in the top ten. After Suzuki-sensei's Magic Hunter, there was not a single novel that had sold more than a thousand copies. If the top four basic novels were removed, the light novel industry could be said to be finished!
From this, it could be seen that Shinobu Akiyama's My Girlfriend Is A Little Strange had a huge impact on the industry, and Kato Hiko's Forbidden Magic Book Catalog was the only novel that had not been affected!
Not only did it not suffer any impact, but it should be said that it sold well!
Therefore, after confirming the authenticity of this form, Kato Hiko was in a very good mood when he saw the remarks of the headquarters of the Buyagawa Bookstore at the back of the form. It said that Kato Hiko's forbidden magic book catalog might reach 400,000 sales in the first week, and that all the Buyagawa Bookstores in Japan must increase their publicity to ensure that the novel would sell well.
At the very least, their hard work in the past few days did not go to waste. Although the list of forbidden magic books was still far from being comparable to Shinobu Akiyama's novels, at least they were not killed instantly like Kaoru Yuno and Suzuki!
Moreover, the first week sales of this world's magic forbidden book catalog could reach 400,000. How much could the final sales reach? Although the headquarters of the Immortal River Bookstore did not predict it, it definitely had the chance to hit 1 million sales!
1 million, this was 1 million! If the sales of the first volume of the Forbidden Magic Book Catalog could really reach 1 million, then Kato Hiko would be able to receive a follow-up income of 48 million yen!
Although this amount of money could only buy a slightly larger toilet in Chiyoda District, it at least made Kato Hiko feel that his dream of buying a house in Chiyoda District and building a Crystal Palace was slowly coming true!
"Kato, Kato, are you alright?”
Looking at Kato Hiko, who was smiling foolishly at the statistics, Machida Yuanzi asked worriedly. After Machida Yuanzi interrupted his drifting thoughts, Kato Hiko came back to his senses in embarrassment.
" It's alright, Machida. This is for you."
After regaining his senses, Kato Hiko reluctantly handed the statistics to Machida Yuanzi. He could not hide his excitement as he continued,"By the way, Machida, what do you mean by helping?”
"Actually, it's nothing much. The main reason is that the Forbidden Magic Books Catalog has such sales without animation, which makes the headquarters very happy. Therefore, the headquarters decided to animate this work. Moreover, the headquarters has already decided that the animation will be produced half a year and broadcast in October. Therefore, in order to match the animation of this work, the library will speed up the publication of the novel. The second volume of the novel will be published at the end of this month, and the third volume of the novel will be published in the middle of next month. So I hope Kato sensei can speed up your writing progress. Of course, if you can guarantee the quality of the novel, that would be even better."
When Machida finished telling Kato Hiko about her novel, Kato Hiko, who had just recovered from his shock, was once again stunned.
Animation? If he didn't hear wrongly, Machida Yuanzi was indeed talking about animation, right?!
