Development company

Yuuki knew of this company, Fushikawa Shoten was one of the famous publishing companies in 'Saenai Heroine no Sodadekata', he didn't expect this company to go bankrupt.

"I'll leave you then, you can discuss it with Sonoko," Minano said.

Yuuki and Sonoko didn't mind since they would talk about the development of this company. They couldn't have an outsider to listen to their discussion.

"Can I really be here?" Tsugumi asked.

"Yeah, don't worry, you're my maid, you're not an outsider," Yuuki said.

Sonoko kept looking at the interaction between Yuuki and Tsugumi, 'She is his maid?' She thought he must be some young master of the rich family. She was hoping, he didn't buy this company for fun, she had heard many stories about a rich family second generation who bought some bankrupt company for fun, she didn't want that to happen, she needed to protect this company.

"Well, let's talk about business, I won't come here often since I'm quite busy," Yuuki said straight away.

Sonoko looked at him with a weird expression, usually, a boss would come every day and if there was nothing to do, he would sexually harass his subordinates. She observed him and thought she didn't mind being harassed by him.

"Tell me why this company is almost bankrupt," Yuuki asked.

Sonoko became serious and nodded, "Yes, it's started.." she started telling him because they didn't have any good work in their company, many good writers had already signed a contract with another company.

This company had published several bad works and made quite a lot of losses.

"We can't find any good books for us to publish," Sonoko said.

Yuuki nodded, he had realized many books were very bad, especially, light novels, there were no illustrations on their books.

A distinguishing characteristic of light novels is that they are illustrated with anime and manga art style, but many of them were very bad and weren't cute enough, the story also very bad.

"Why do you buy this company? If you can't find any good writers, this company will only eat your money," Sonoko didn't want him to waste his money.

"Don't worry, if it a good book, I've it," Yuuki said while bringing his laptop out, he opened his 'Sword Art Online', he showed it to her.

"This is?" Sonoko asked.

"This is my novel, I want you to publish this as soon as possible," Yuuki said.

Sonoko and Tsugumi also were dumbfounded, Tsugumi because she didn't expect for him to make his own novel, and Sonoko didn't expect her own boss to write his own book.

"Do you believe your book can save this company?" Sonoko asked.

"I believe it," Yuuki said with full conviction, he remembered 'Sword Art Online' had sold almost 20 million copies, he believed it could increase since it was the best light novel in the world.

"Let me check it first," Sonoko said, she had spent a lot of years in this industry, she could tell whether some books could become best seller or not, especially, ever since she became a CEO, the previous CEO of this company had been fired since he was very stubborn and his sense was very bad, many employees had been laid off and only left some of them.

Sonoko was one of the oldest employees and she was being chosen by the CEO of this company from the previous owner. She had worked hard but she couldn't find any good books until this company was sold to Yuuki.

A solo player named Kirito, who had the luck-of-the-draw to once play the beta version of the first VRMMORPG, «Sword Art Online» (SAO), was among the 10,000 players who were trapped inside of the game during the first day of its official service. The only way for them to escape is by clearing all the floors of Aincrad, the floating castle that is the setting for the game and defeating the final boss. Death in-game means death in the real world, due to the NerveGear, a console that simulates the in-game character controls by redirecting brain signals. Two years after the start of the death game, out of the original ten thousand players at the start, less than seven thousand remain with twenty-five floors left to clear.

Sonoko checked his book and she was amazed, she had never seen this kind of story before.

'Being trapped in the game?'

'Many of them died?'

'They need to complete this game if they want to escape?'

The idea of this novel was very good, Sonoko started to read the story of Kirito the protagonist of this story who was a loner, he also started to get acquainted by beautiful heroine known as Asuna. She was hooked to this story and forgot that she needed to check this book.

"This book is amazing," Sonoko said, she believed this book would be able to the best in light novel industry.

"Good, I'll leave everything to you, you need to promote it as soon as possible," Yuuki said.

Sonoko nodded, "Yes, I'll do it as soon as possible," she wanted to fix this company as soon as possible with this book, she believed she could make the company become one of the best, no, the best publishing company.

"Is there any illustration for this book? If there isn't, I'll call our best illustrator," Sonoko asked.

Yuuki shook his head, "I've drawn it, you can check it there."

Sonoko looked at his drawing and stunned, she slapped her forehead hard, 'how could she forget about him?' She remembered Yuuki was the most popular mangaka right now, she wanted to hide in a hole to think he was some spoiled second rich generation.

"Thank you, I'll do it as soon as possible, 1 month, no!, 2 weeks, I can publish this and make very big promotion for this company!" Sonoko said with full of conviction.

"Good, I'll wait for your result," Yuuki said.

They started to talk about the development of this company, Yuuki told her to start to make a website where every writer could upload and share their works.

Sonoko was quite interested in his idea and they talked until noon.

"I'll going home first," Yuuki said.

"Yes, boss! Don't worry, I'll take care of it!" Sonoko had called him boss without noticing.

"Let's go, Tsugumi," Yuuki said.

"Ye-yes!!" Tsugumi followed him.

Sonoko looked at both of their backs, she sighed, Yuuki was very charming, she was wondering if he was interested in an older woman.

SLAP

Sonoko slapped both of her cheeks, she needed to focus on her work, she needed to live his expectation.
