Chapter 55
Kasumigaoka Utaha has found the most suitable prototype for Naoto, but today’s”date” has just begun
“”Let’s go, senior, we’re almost there, let’s go to the next place.” Kasugano Toru waved his hand, and after seeing the girl nod, he took the lead and walked towards the tram station.
He didn’t want to walk side by side with this girl. If he really did that, he would undoubtedly become the focus of the crowd.
Although he was also being watched a lot just now.
But Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t want to let Kasugano Toru go. She was so angry just now, how could she not retaliate?
After all, this girl was even more sinister and venomous than Kato Megumi. It was impossible for her to escape easily.
“Kasugano-kun, where are we going?”
“When we get there, the senior will know.”
“Riddler, get out of Gotham!”
“No, this is just the minimum to maintain a sense of mystery. But senior sister, if you are so impatient, how can you engage in creative work?~”
“”Kasugano-kun, just tell me.” Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately changed her expression, and her tone changed from the initial coldness to a disgusting tone.
Of course, Kasugano Toru was proud enough to make the beautiful girl in Toyosaki show such an expression.
“No, senior.” Kasugano Toru continued to remain mysterious:”Spoilers will kill the whole family.”
……
Kasugano Toru certainly didn’t want to take this risk, as his family only had a sister left to depend on.
If necessary, the boy would rather sacrifice his own life than put Qiong in danger.
So he changed the subject in time and brought the conversation back to”Love Metronome” itself.
“Senior, your first volume of novel has sold so many copies, is there no discussion online?”Kasugano Toru was a little curious. This is not an era of information blockade. Thanks to the Internet, any movement will be infinitely magnified.
Moreover, the first volume of”Love Metronome” sold 100,000 copies, which is definitely an excellent result for a newcomer. Even if it is not popular enough to break out of the circle, it can at least be a little popular in the field of light novels.
But looking at the girl next to him, why doesn’t she have any intention of copying book reviews?
“Of course there are discussions.”When talking about her novel, Kasumigaoka Utaha’s face was full of pride.
It’s not pride, right? Now the girl’s mind is roughly like a mother showing off her child’s achievements, to be low-key, but more importantly, to be Versailles
“Is there nothing useful in the discussion?” Kasugano Toru was a little curious, but also a little emotional.
Writing a book is good, you can crowdfund it.
Unlike him, who paints, he can’t even do it if he wants to crowdfund.
“No, I will deliberately avoid the content that readers can guess, so that readers can see the reversal, isn’t it good?”Kasumigaoka Utaha puffed out her chest, this is one of the few things she can be proud of.
Although it cost a lot.
You have to know that it is not one or two readers, but tens of thousands. Even if only one percent want to comment, that is hundreds or thousands of people.
To completely avoid their ideas and create a unique reversal that no one can think of, even Kasumigaoka Utaha has to make unimaginable efforts.
But now it seems that the result is still good.
But Kasugano Toru doesn’t think so.
It happens that he knows a little bit about this kind of thing. Of course he knows a little bit. When browsing Weibo in his previous life, there were many people who thought they were Jiang Taigong, but unfortunately, there were also many who ended up luring themselves into being Sai Weng.
“Senior, have you ever thought that if you let readers guess some insignificant plots, would it make them feel more involved?”
“”Huh?” Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment. It
‘s not like she hadn’t considered what Kasugano Toru said.
But what if a reader said that he had crowdfunded a book?
She couldn’t afford to lose face as she was Kasumigaoka Utaha.
So the girl told her concerns truthfully, but all she got in return was Kasugano Toru’s sneer.
Crowdfunding a book?
Isn’t this a necessary skill for every online writer?
Besides, how low would one’s EQ have to be to say that he had crowdfunded a book?
“Senior, I think you are crazy.”As long as it is to increase the popularity of”Love Metronome”, Kasugano Toru thinks that no matter what he does, it is worth it.
Of course, the premise is that it is within the range that the original author of the novel, Kasumigaoka Utaha, can accept.
“There is no such thing as crowdfunding to write a book, it’s just that you and the readers have the same idea.”
Good fellow,” Kasumigaoka Utaha exclaimed.
Low EQ: I crowdfunded to write a book by reading book reviews.
High EQ: I have the same idea as the readers.
Kasumigaoka Utaha had to admit that in terms of making things happen, she would like to call Kasugano Toru the best.
But she also admitted that she wanted to allow readers to participate more in the interaction of the novel.
After all, there are still some differences between light novels and online literature. There is not so much real-time feedback, and there is no barrage or something like that.
If it is really as Kasugano Toru said, and some readers are allowed to guess some unimportant plots, then after a long wait of two or three months, these readers will definitely be in a good mood.
Who doesn’t want to be able to communicate with the author of their favorite work?
Especially if this author is a beautiful girl picked out of a million.
And this part Readers are very easy to convert into die-hard fans. Every time before Kasumigaoka Utaha publishes a book, this group of people will spontaneously warm up on the Internet.
As long as a book is popular, why worry that no one will buy it? The power of the Internet is huge. Although the promotion of Fuzugawa is still very important, it is no longer the only option.
This can also prevent the current editor-in-chief of NT from doing anything weird again.
After figuring it all out, Kasumigaoka Utaha’s eyes slowly lit up.
You see, the same thing is much easier to accept if you say it in a different way.
Even a paranoid and conceited girl like Kasumigaoka Utaha is the same. From crowdfunding to writing a book to coincidence, it’s just a change of words, which makes things that the girl was originally unwilling to do become so logical.
“Kasugano-kun is really smart. You can explain to me something I couldn’t figure out in just a few words.”Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that her decision to walk into the coffee shop that afternoon was a wise one.
“Okay, senior sister, no need to brag about business, I still hope that through your novel, others will recognize my level.”Kasugano Toru is not being modest on purpose, he really has this purpose
“Besides, now is not the time to continue chatting, we have already arrived at the second stop of today.”Kasugano Toru pointed to a building not far away and said to the girl beside him.
Before entering the building, Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned by the sound waves coming from inside.
After passing through the long corridor and seeing the sun again, a large sports field appeared in front of the girl.
“This is……”As a literary girl, Kasumigaoka Utaha was also stunned for a moment after seeing the scene in front of her.
“Koshien, senior should know about it.”Kasugano Toru was now beside the girl, and had to deliberately raise his voice. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
There was no other way, the environment at the scene was too noisy, and if he didn’t raise his voice, he couldn’t hear anything at all.
“Is it the famous baseball game?”Even the girl who knows nothing about sports has heard of Koshien.
But what Kasugano Toru brought Kasumigaoka Utaha to watch today was not the famous Koshien, because that game would not start until August.
But what he said just now was also correct, the game in front of them was actually the Spring Koshien.
It is also commonly known as the”Selection”[]
Although not as famous as the Summer Koshien, the Spring Koshien is actually quite exciting, and the venue for the game will also be set at the Koshien Stadium in Hanshin.
Seeing the expression of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Kasugano Toru knew that it was definitely the right choice to bring the girl all the way here by train.
“Let’s go, our location is over there.”Tetsu Kasugano looked at the ticket in his hand, found his and the girl’s seats, and pulled the girl to his seat.
Kasumigaoka Utaha followed the boy in a daze, her attention completely attracted by the players in the stadium.
To be honest, Kasugano Toru didn’t understand the rules of baseball. He had never played baseball in his previous life or this life.
After all, China doesn’t have such a large venue for several people to play freely, that’s too luxurious.
Besides, can the square dance aunties let go of such a big piece of fat?
As for basketball, he has always been good at it. Although his life is very stressful in this life, he will play it occasionally to relieve stress.
The reason why he brought Kasumigaoka Utaha to watch this baseball game is that this is the only well-known game recently.
In fact, Toru Kasugano originally planned to take the girl to watch volleyball, but the Spring High School just ended last month, and the National Sports will not start until summer, so today he can only say sorry to the sport that always looks up and implies positivity. The reason why he wanted to take Kasumigaoka Utaha to watch the game was just because he hoped that the girl I can be infected by the spirit of those players who fight hard and never give up.
The heroes in real life are actually around us.
And seeing the reaction of Kasumigaoka Utaha now, Kasugano Toru knew that he had done the right thing again.
The girl has gone from being stunned at first, to being slowly infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and then to the excited look now.
She clenched her fists tightly, and whenever there was a crisp sound of hitting on the field, she would dance and cheer with the audience.
A smile slowly appeared on the corners of Kasugano Toru’s mouth. In terms of controlling emotions, he is still better than Kasumigaoka Utaha.
But even so, the boy was very happy today. He felt that this kind of Kasumigaoka Utaha was what a young person should be like.
Usually, she always felt that others owed her five million. Why?
If it weren’t for her beauty… Well, just being beautiful is enough.
Destroy this world that values appearance.
Kasumigaoka Utaha naturally didn’t know what Kasugano Toru was thinking about now, because the game on the field had reached a white-hot level.
“Hey, two outs, bases loaded, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for Mingqing Academy.”
“That’s right, there is no point in forcing points now. Except for a home run that can turn the tide, Mingqing Academy has no chance to create a miracle.”
Accompanied by the on-site commentary, Mingqing Academy’s ace Uesugi Tatsuya walked to his position.
But this time, the job he was doing was not pitching, which he was good at.
Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly grabbed Kasugano Toru’s hand, her soft little hand was full of sweat, and her eyes were fixed on the players on the field.
Kasugano Toru’s face was distorted. Who would have thought that the literary girl who usually looked weak and gentle would have such a strong hand strength. Is this really going to perform a skull-opening performance?……
“Uesugi Tatsuya looked very nervous, but it was no wonder. Although he was the ace pitcher of Meisei Academy, it was his first time as a batter on the stage of Koshien at this critical moment of life and death.”
“But being nervous can’t change anything, and it can’t make the opponent soft-hearted. Apart from swinging the bat without scruples, nothing can help him win the game!”
Uesugi Tatsuya adjusted his baseball cap, then held the bat tightly in his hand and took a batting stance.
The opponent’s pitcher���Obviously, they were very nervous. They had suffered a lot from Uesugi Tatsuya in this game. Although the opponent was now in the batsman position, who knew if this guy would create a miracle?
“Okay, we see the pitcher is ready and the catcher is making a tactical gesture.”
“It was thrown out. This is an extremely difficult butterfly ball.”
“boom!”
“Hit, hit! Grand Slam, it’s a Grand Slam!!!”
“It’s amazing, really amazing. Tatsuya Uesugi, Tatsuya Uesugi of Meisei Academy, hit a home run with the opponent’s bases loaded. It was a grand slam!”
“A miracle happened, a miracle really happened, Mingqing Academy won!”
The commentator on the scene roared, and the tens of thousands of spectators in the audience also reached a climax.
Including Kasumigaoka Utaha, everyone jumped up and cheered like a tsunami.
Kasugano Toru shook his head and covered his ears.
He really didn’t fit in.
……
Kasumigaoka Utaha’s face was flushed, and her hair was stuck to her forehead due to sweat. She no longer looked like the cold beauty she used to be.
“Senior, did you come here for nothing today?” Kasugano Toru took the initiative to hand over a tissue and motioned the girl to wipe her forehead.
The girl looked unsatisfied. If you put your hand on her chest now, you can definitely feel her heart pounding.
Even a thick cushion can’t stop the beating.
“Kasugano-kun, I finally understand what you mean.”Kasumigaoka Utaha wiped the sweat off her forehead, and the brilliance in her eyes amazed the whole world.
“It turns out that there are so many things around us that are worth praising, worth boasting about, and worth telling the world about.”
“So this is what hard work is, this is what Zhiren lacks the most”
“Although sports and love are not the same thing, don’t worry, Kasugano-kun, I already know how to enrich the character of Naoto.”
”
The new volume of”Love Metronome” will definitely not let you down!”.
