"Have you waited long?"
In a coffee shop not far away, Natsukawa was replying to pictures and content sent by friends on his mobile phone.
It wasn't until he heard Kasumigaoka Utaha voice that he raised his head slightly.
The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of voluptuous legs, shrouded in black pantyhose, and then Kasumigaoka Utaha graceful body curves and finally her exquisite appearance.
"It's bad manners to stare at a beautiful girl like that."
"I am sorry ."
Natsukawa smiled and asked the waiter for more coffee.
"But there's nothing we can do about it. Besides, isn't Senpai a rare beauty?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha did not deny this. He sat across from Natsukawa and had some character analysis of this relatively new junior student.
After another order of coffee was delivered, steaming heat filled the sights of both parties, and Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke first.
"Natsukawa-kun, since you called me senpai, I'll call you Kōhai from now on, how about that?"
She raised her head slightly, raised the medium-sized coffee cup, considered the taste with her red lips, and said with a hint of smile in her eyes.
"Of course there is no problem with this."
Natsukawa didn't mind such a title, but it was a step forward in the relationship between the two parties.
"Then Kōhai, let's get back to the topic... As you said at the book signing, I want to hear what you think of "Koisuru Metronome" I wrote, and what are its shortcomings? parts?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha asked straight to the point.
For her, she was touched that Natsukawa came to support her.
But Natsukawa's previous opinions about the novel were what she cared about at the moment.
She used to think that light novels were a very simple thing, and the first volume was beautifully completed. It was able to attract so many people, which was already a very good achievement for a newly debuted light novel author.
But... it's not enough.
Because she is an aloof literary girl. Since she is determined to become a light novel author, she must be the best.
The second volume in particular was not very effective, a situation she had never imagined since writing the novel.
After Natsukawa's spoon circled the coffee cup a few times, he slowly spoke:
"Utaha-Senpai, Koisuru Metronome is a fine work among light novels. The characters are vivid and the plot is very clever. If this is the end of the first volume, that would be a great piece. But if it continues to be postponed, I don't think there will be much benefit."
When it came to the point that troubled Kasumigaoka Utaha the most, she didn't even care that the other party directly called her Utaha-senpai, and quickly asked: "Why?"
"Because Naoto and Sayuka's relationship in the first volume was too rich, like a love story that emerged naturally."
PS:Guys, are the names of Utaha's novel MC and Heroine true?
"The content of just one volume is naturally enough to satisfy the senses, but if two or three volumes are added, readers will soon feel bored."
"Is there anything wrong with this? Romance novels are like this."
Natsukawa stretched out his index finger and shook it.
"So apart from love novels by master level works, who can achieve good results in the market? Utaha-senpai probably wouldn't think that a single work is enough to become a master-level figure in love literature."
Seeing Kasumigaoka Utaha speechless, Natsukawa continued:
"There are only female protagonists and male protagonists in this book. No matter what happens, I know how the other person will grow in love, so it will become more and more boring to continue reading."
Speaking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha also understood the problem.
Indeed, because of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha has gradually felt that the content of the second volume of "Koisuru Metronome" has been difficult, and she no longer feels as comfortable as when she first started.
"The content of the second volume, has Utaha-senpai started writing it?"
This sudden question made Kasumigaoka Utaha stunned.
"It was put into motion... but it was rejected."
Kasumigaoka Utaha eyes flickered slightly as he spoke.
"Did you bring your laptop?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly. He is used to carrying a laptop, just so he can occasionally write down inspiration he sees on the road.
Instead of Natsukawa continuing to ask, Kasumigaoka Utaha took the initiative to open the laptop and show Natsukawa the contents.
This was a taboo for a writer, but somehow he had an inexplicable trust in Natsukawa at this moment.
Natsukawa scanned them one by one, and time passed slowly.
"Times have changed, Utaha-senpai."
Natsukawa sighed.
"If you want your work to sell, you have to understand the market first. Currently, the main consumer groups for light novels are students and young people who are active in society. In this increasingly rushed era, it cannot be expected that many people will be calm. Enjoy that beautiful work of pure love."
Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally realized this, and couldn't help but look at Natsukawa with a confused expression: "Is there really no future for my works?"
When he got to the point, Natsukawa raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I have an idea, Utaha-senpai might as well add a character to it."
Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly figured it out: "You mean to let the male protagonist or the female protagonist have a harem?"
"It doesn't have to be a harem. Since my Senpai wants to write a light novel in a series, how can the plot always be pure and innocent without ups and downs?"
"Senpai can also design a few more characters, or have several men compete for the heroine, or a new supporting female character enters the scene to compete with the heroine."
"In this way, not only the theme of the story is expanded, but the story can also have ups and downs and new ideas. Anyway, isn't plot design your specialty, Utaha-senpai?"
Natsukawa leaned on the chair and talked. Anyway, he didn't continue the idea of copying the public, so there was no harm in sharing the little-used stock market knowledge with Kasumigaoka Utaha.
After listening to Natsukawa's opinion, inspiration surged in Kasumigaoka Utaha's mind like a water pump.
Those red pupils glowed like golden light. Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly retrieved her notebook, opened the memo and quickly recorded her inspiration on it.
It wasn't until the coffee had turned cold for a while that Kasumigaoka Utaha stopped tapping the keyboard with her hands.
"Hoo~"
Breathing a long sigh of relief, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Natsukawa with a fleeting gaze.
"Thanks to Natsukawa-san, I probably have an idea for the direction of the second volume!"
Natsukawa responded with a smile: "Then I'm looking forward to the content of Utaha-senpai's second volume."
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded heavily, as if he thought of something again. He hesitated and said, "Can you give me your email address? If possible, I would like to ask you to taste the content of the second volume first."
Natsukawa's smile continued.
For Kasumigaoka Utaha now, loyal fans and helping her works are the most effective offensive.
Just like now, isn't this Senpai favorability going up?
It's worth noting that he stayed up all night reading "Koisuru Metronome" yesterday and came here specially to attend the book signing today.
Natsukawa took out his mobile phone, clicked on the email code with a very skillful movement, then stretched out his hand towards Kasumigaoka Utaha, and said at the same time:
"Am I the first boy who took the initiative to add his email address to Utaha-senpai?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned when he heard this, then added Natsukawa to his contacts and looked at Natsukawa with a smile.
"Of course, you are the first boy I have volunteered to join, Natsukawa-senpai~"
"That's really fun, Utaha-senpai."
Originally, she wanted to see if this junior would have any expression because of her special words, but Kasumigaoka Utaha felt her heart tremble when she saw Natsukawa's smiling expression.
However, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly collected her thoughts and took a special look at Natsukawa.
"I think I know why Natsukawa-senpai is so popular in school, so please contact me via email later, Natsukawa-senpai~"
