After leaving Second Miss Yukino's room, Lin Mu returned to his own room.
The interesting thing about this magic transformation is that you can instantly reach the side of your subordinate.
And when you come back again, you are also in the previous place.
After all, the contract was not signed for nothing.
Through that connection with each other, Lin Mu can quickly reach the side of his subordinate, and when encountering danger, he will also sense it, thereby remotely transmitting magic power to make him escape from danger.
And if the subordinate is exceptionally talented, he can also borrow his magic power to enhance his own strength and use magic.
Theoretically, when he becomes stronger, the subordinate will also become stronger.
And when the subordinate becomes stronger, that ability will also be fed back to him.
In this way, when his Mu Empire is completely established, it will be the moment when he is invincible in the world.
It is better to have as many subordinates as possible.
With nothing to do, Lin Mu simply turned on the computer and started coding, and also used his mobile phone to issue tasks to Kato Megumi.
The task content is very simple, as a member of the club, Kato Megumi must read more novels and comics and become a qualified otaku!
That's right, he wants to bring Kato-san into the otaku world!
In this way, it will be more convenient for her to wear other costumes for him to see in the future.
Kato Megumi was very speechless when she saw the message.
Is this the harassment you were talking about?
She was actually assigned such a task.
However, she really hasn't read many light novels and comics.
However, her cousin is an otaku, and he should have those things at home.
So, Kato Megumi went to her cousin's house, browsed around, and borrowed some light novels and manga.
When Kato Megumi "borrowed" the items, her cousin was playing a game. He answered without even turning his head.
So he didn't even know what his cousin had borrowed.
Coupled with Kato Megumi's easily forgotten nature, Kato's cousin immediately forgot about the matter and continued to immerse himself in the passion of gaming.
Back home, Kato Megumi opened the manga she had picked up casually.
Then, a pair of exaggerated large breasts directly confronted her vision on the page.
Kato Megumi's eyes widened instantly, somewhat in disbelief.
"It's drawn too exaggeratedly, isn't it? This... more than a cow's udder... can anyone really have breasts like that?"
Kato Megumi continued to read with a learning attitude, and then her originally calm face slowly turned red.
Breathing rapidly, she abruptly closed the manga and threw it aside.
"I can't take it anymore, I feel like my thoughts are going to be corrupted."
"This manga drawn by Kashiwagi Eri... would anyone really like it?"
Kato Megumi expressed doubt about this.
That's right.
The manga she picked up was actually a doujinshi drawn by Kashiwagi Eri.
And it was in that style of exaggerated large breasts.
For perverted otaku, it would be exciting to read, but for someone like Kato Megumi, who had never encountered such things, it felt very strange.
She felt that no one could possibly look like that.
"Does Lin Mu also like this kind of thing?" Kato Megumi subconsciously lowered her head and looked at her own body.
Then she quickly shook her head, "Impossible, Student Shiina is the best example; she has the most standard beautiful girl figure."
Indeed, she had been corrupted by that manga!
Lin Mu must take responsibility for her!
...
Leaving Kato-san's murmuring aside, let's turn to Machida Sonoko.
After a week of her continuous 催稿 , Kasumi Utako, the genius beautiful girl light novel author she had discovered, finally came to submit her manuscript.
Yes, it was the second volume of "love metronome," which had sold 500,000 copies and was considered a bestseller.
Although Kasumi Utako's 500,000-copy bestseller was far from Yamada Elf's 1,000,000 copies.
But this also depended on the genre.
Different genres meant different unit prices.
Yamada Elf wrote about an 異世界 harem adventure, a genre that could even be drawn as doujinshi.
So the general audience consisted of veteran fans of anime and manga.
Kasumi Utako's "love metronome" didn't have much explicit description; instead, it focused more on campus romance.
This genre is not easy to become popular, nor is it easy to write, so the unit price would be higher.
Basically, one volume of "love metronome" was enough for Kasumi Utako to live off the royalties for several years.
After all, authors get a share for every copy sold.
At this moment.
Sitting opposite Machida Sonoko was a beautiful woman with fair skin, delicate features, and a voluptuous figure.
She was wearing a blue cotton top and a pleated skirt.
A pair of well-proportioned, slender legs were tightly encased in black stockings and pressed together, highlighting her graceful posture.
Her long, glossy black hair reached her waist, and she wore a white hairband.
Her entire being exuded the aura of a mature woman.
That's right, she was Kasumigaoka Utaha, pen name Kasumi Utako, the author of "love metronome."
Although Kasumigaoka Utaha appeared calm at the moment, judging by her tightly clasped hands, she was still a little nervous.
After all, Machida Sonoko's attitude now held the power of life and death over the second volume of the light novel she had written.
After reading the manuscript for a while, Machida Sonoko sighed deeply.
This look of disappointment made Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart tighten.
"Ms. Sonoko, is it not good?"
She bit her lip, looking at her with some reluctance.
Machida Sonoko nodded helplessly, "No, my dear Utako, this second volume is a world apart from your first!"
"It has completely lost the amazing feeling the first volume gave people!"
"Moreover, the character design of the heroine, Shayoujia, has completely collapsed!"
Faced with Machida Sonoko's rejection, Kasumigaoka Utaha's face turned pale, but her expression held a hint of stubbornness.
"But, this is the story I wanted to write."
Having poured her heart and soul into a work only to have it rejected more than once, Kasumigaoka Utaha was getting angry.
Seeing this, Machida Sonoko couldn't help but show a stern look and scolded:
"I know this is a story you put your heart into, but do you want your writing career to stop here?"
"This world is not lacking in hardworking authors, and there are many new authors who work hard but achieve nothing, still getting rejection letters."
"Utako, you are indeed very talented, but you also became popular due to good luck. If you don't properly polish the plot and only rely on imagined scenes, it will leave readers feeling empty."
"If you were writing an other-world genre, it would be fine; writing like this wouldn't be a problem. Being a bit romantic would even be a bonus. But this is a realistic genre, a campus romance light novel!"
"Tell me, the heroine jumps from the 11th floor, and she doesn't die? And she can still smile and confess to the male lead? Isn't that too far-fetched?"
Machida Sonoko's complaints instantly pierced Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart like sharp swords.
The girl lowered her head guiltily, muttering with a pout.
"It's not like I've ever been in love, so I can only imagine."
When she was writing it, she thought it was very romantic and even moved herself.
After all, the heroine, Shayoujia, was created based on herself.
Now that Machida Sonoko had said that, she also felt so ashamed; the plot was indeed outrageous.
Machida Sonoko rolled her eyes in annoyance, "If it really doesn't work, just cut it. You can switch to another work and continue writing!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked stubborn.
Authors, sometimes, get an artistic temperament and think what they write is flawless.
But in the eyes of a professional editor, there are a lot of problems with the book's content.
Machida Sonoko was also very helpless. What should she do if her genius beautiful girl author was starting to run out of talent?
"Utako, how about you put down your pen for a while and go fall in love?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard this.
"How is that so easy? The male lead I'm looking for hasn't appeared yet."
She couldn't just casually find a man to fall in love with just for the sake of gathering material, could she?
Kasumigaoka Utaha was not that kind of casual woman, and for her, Shayoujia in the book was herself.
She wanted to find a man who could make her heart flutter.
However, she wasn't interested in the childish boys at school, nor was she interested in dating older men.
So she could only stay single.
Machida Sonoko rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache, but then she suddenly remembered something, pulled out a newly printed book without illustrations, and handed it to her.
"Utako, since you don't want to give up, continue to diligently study the plot. This book is the work of a genius new author."
"Currently, our light novel imprint is promoting it. Take it back and read it; I hope it helps you."
Kasumigaoka Utaha took the book and looked at it, then couldn't help but curl her lips.
The title of the book was: "The Tsundere Blonde Twin-tailed Girl and the Black-Stocking Senior's Youth Romance Story Has Big Problems!"
"Ms. Sonoko, are you blind? How can a novel like this be compared to mine?"
She felt a bit amused and exasperated, but she still decided to take the advice, so she said goodbye to Machida Sonoko.
Machida Sonoko watched her retreating figure, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Utako, I wonder what kind of expression you'll have when you see the familiar settings?"
In Lin Mu's book, the image of the black-stocking senior, Tsukimi Miyabi, was exactly like Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Even the identity of a light novel author, a senior, and some personality descriptions seemed to be written based on Kasumigaoka Utaha.
After a meaningful smile, Machida Sonoko immediately dialed Lin Mu's phone number.
"Moshi moshi, is this Twilight Sky? I'm Machida Sonoko."
"Yes, it's me, Ms. Sonoko. Is there something you need at this time?"
Lin Mu asked, puzzled.
Machida Sonoko smiled and said, "Of course it's business. I wonder if you've logged into your exclusive author account? Your work has received very good feedback from readers after our promotion and trial reading."
"So, we now need an illustrator to draw character designs and illustrations for this work. Do you have any candidates?"
Hearing this, Lin Mu immediately became interested.
"Hmm, Kashiwagi Eri would be good. Eromanga Sensei also works."
Upon hearing this, Machida Sonoko fell silent.
"Are you serious? You want to find doujinshi artists to draw illustrations?" She couldn't help but retort, her voice a little loud.
Lin Mu, however, remained calm.
"Of course I'm serious. Just those two. Please help me contact them."
Kashiwagi Eri is Eiri, the textbook tsundere blonde twin-tailed girl.
As for Eromanga Sensei, to be precise, the yellow manga sensei, that white-haired loli, Izumi Sagiri.
However, it's also uncertain whether Eromanga Sensei at this time is little Sagiri or her mother, who looks exactly like little Sagiri.
No matter who it is, as long as they interact with him, he won't lose out.
Machida Sonoko was silent for a while, then could only nod helplessly.
"Alright, since you like these two adult doujinshi artists so much, I'll help you contact them."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Ms. Sonoko."
