How He Did It

Seeing Utaha put the tray of several coffee cups on the floor, sitting gracefully on her knees, Asahi took the cup and asked: "Are Nayuta and the others still following you recently?"

"Not." Utaha answered.

But even though she didn't follow through anymore, her intuition told her that the two people must be hatching some more secret plans.

This is very troubling.

Utaha thought dizzily, it was useless to tell Asahi, this man hoped that she would be persuaded so that she could accept the idea of the man she liked opening a harem.

"How's the latest job going?"

Biting into the beef skewers, Asahi asked casually.

"No problem, it's going well, it's been prepared according to the terms of the conflict."

Utaha answered with a smile on her face.

Asahi had predicted that Sonoko would soon come to Utaha to be "polite" and discuss the original script.

To students and teachers in the same class, Utaha is both a dark wizard and a ruthless human.

Sonoko still doesn't know that her opponent's strength has not been fully displayed.

"Don't worry at all, the author will definitely deliver a high-quality work within the deadline, however, there is always the possibility that various problems may occur due to late work."

Asahi had an unremarkable expression.

Munching on the salad, Utaha suddenly asked: "I heard that your play will participate in the summer comiket."

"Yes."

"I'm looking forward to what you can come up with."

Utaha smiled lightly, and even if she didn't speak, Asahi could see her strong self-confidence: "I'm fine, but many writers aren't."

"Spoken by the one who least wanted to say it." Utaha bit hard into her flesh.

"I heard, [Love Metronome] is getting an anime adaptation?"

Asahi took a sip of coffee: "According to the sales volume, it wasn't too difficult for this progress to reach one million."

As Utaha's main work, [Love Metronome]. Originally, this was a story that was planned to end due to newcomer regulations.

The characters on stage were only the two main characters who only promoted the development of the story, the protagonist Naoto and heroine Sayuka. In that volume, it is appropriate to recount the meeting and light love between the two, and tell the different and complicated emotional stories of youth.

As long as one reads the first volume, it will definitely fit in, and this story won't be overly expanded, or contain any other surprises, there's not even a need for the second volume.

But let the newcomers, award winners do the work. If it ended, both the author and the publisher would suffer a loss, so new content was added.

"You can't say it frankly."

"A woman with a dark personality who doesn't want to allow a relationship to develop and bear fruit if she is a little more mean and grumpy,"

At that time, Asahi couldn't make a choice, so he left the choice to Utaha to some extent.

"There are company intentions for the anime, but the final outcome is hard to say. I'm not you. Maybe the company's bad production will lead to bad results." Utaha groaned.

"If you are not comfortable, leave it to me?" Asahi spoke lightly.

Utaha is still confident in making [Love Metronome] well.

"Isn't your anime studio very busy?" Utaha is quite confused.

"For now."

It is simply impossible to have such a large scale, and it will definitely develop slowly in the future.

Utaha wanted to separate anime movie production from light novel production because, according to her conception, this is the general idea of anime.

"As long as I can see it." Utaha agree.

There are Asahi's works, not to mention anime movies, [Sword Art Online] itself has three seasons, [No Game No Life] only one season, and others. Some of the scripts he's been involved in are also known in the industry.

Like [Steins;Gate].

So many anime lovers not only like to watch his works, even if there is an anime he participates in, they also want to watch.

Utaha found this aspect to be too big, so whether or not her piece gets animated is not pressing at all.

Seeing Utaha's slightly sour expression, Asahi guessed that it wasn't his fault.

In fact, he probably guessed right, the reason why Utaha suddenly felt wrong was mainly because he was thinking about Nayuta. Even though the girl seemed to be running away, she was a top author in the light novel field.

After all, thanks to Nayuta, [Love Metronome] was able to achieve its current results. If she didn't help promote it, the results would definitely not be as good as they are now.

Thinking of her achievement being endorsed by her love rival, Utaha felt bad. Sooner or later, she would be able to write a popular light novel.

However, the theme of love is getting harder to shine through. The objective conditions were such that Utaha felt the prospects were pessimistic, but what was baffling was how the man was going.
