[Yesterday's diary entry completed. Beginning reward distribution. You have received Photographic mory.]
[Yesterday's diary keeper has received a reward. Beginning selection of one diary copy holder to receive the sa reward.]
[Selection complete. Congratulations to X X X X for receiving Photographic mory.]
[Diary copy holder rewards are now being distributed. Yesterday, the person ntioned the most tis by the diary keeper was Kato gumi. Now beginning reward distribution.]
[Congratulations. Kato gumi has received Luck 1. Luck: Possessing the luck attribute makes you luckier than the average person. You have a high probability of getting a freebie when buying popsicles.]
After Hakuto claid the diary reward, Alice started complaining in the Diary Copy's Chat Room.
[Alice: The diary says the rewards given are equivalent to Hakuto's. But I strongly suspect that the diary gives gutted versions.]
[Notification: Rewards received by those who receive equivalent rewards are all fifty percent of the diary keeper's reward.]
[Alice: ....]
Just one complaint, and she hadn't expected to receive a response. This response completely stunned Alice.
[Sonoka: Speaking of which, who received the equivalent reward this ti? Also, many people probably aren't in the Diary Copy's Chat Room, right?]
[Yukino: Probably not. And this Photographic mory... Kaguya, what do you think?]
[Kaguya: Damn it. Cheating. This is cheating.]
Rembering her bet with Hakuto, Kaguya imdiately jumped up and down in anger.
'Damn diary. Giving Hakuto a cheat.'
Kaguya had already checked Hakuto's academic progress. It could be said that she was basically certain Hakuto couldn't surpass her in the next exam.
But who knew the diary would directly give Hakuto Photographic mory? How could she compete now? Kaguya was very angry.
Especially Hakuto's diary entry, which made Kaguya stomp her feet even more.
[Hehe. Even the diary doesn't want my wife Kaguya to win. Tsk, tsk. My wife Kaguya, it's not that I want to cheat. This is all fate. I really am the chosen one.]
Seeing this diary entry, Kaguya was even more furious.
[Ti for bed. Tomorrow, I need to go out to discuss light novel matters. Tch. I hope the other party isn't an idiot like Machida Sonoko.]
The next day, after tidying his appearance a bit, Hakuto arrived at the agreed eting place.
At the agreed location, after a brief confirmation with the other party, Hakuto found the person he was looking for.
"I am Yamada Chris, an editor at FULLDRIVE Bunko. This is my younger sister, also one of the light novel teachers under . Her pen na is Yamada Elf. Her light novel, 'The Dark Elf of Explosive Fla', has cumulative sales of over 2.2 million copies. This ti, after seeing your two novels, Byakuya-sensei, she was very impressed and begged to co along. I hope Byakuya-sensei doesn't mind."
Yamada Elf looked at Hakuto. Looking at the very handso and clean-looking young man in front of her, who turned out to be that Yagami Hakuto, she couldn't believe it. After all, Hakuto had fits in his diary every day.
This had almost led Elf to assu Hakuto was a disgusting, fat otaku.
She hadn't expected him to be so handso.
"My na is Emily Granger. But you can call Yamada Elf."
"Hello, Elf-san."
Hakuto smiled slightly and greeted her politely.
[Ah, ah. I didn't expect the editor I'm eting today to be Yamada Chris. And Yamada Elf ca along too. I rember Yamada Elf is my younger sister, a character from 'Eromanga Sensei'.]
[Her hobby is playing the piano naked after bathing? And she gets seen completely by the male protagonist? Should I remind her to change this bad habit later or, if she does it, to close the windows and pull the curtains?]
Elf's face suddenly turned bright red.
[But it seems like this is before the plot starts or just as it's beginning. She's fourteen years old. Not bad. I'm not into little girls. Although she looks very cute, I do have principles. Unless it's a legal loli.]
Chris looked at Hakuto anxiously. "Byakuya-sensei, I sincerely hope you will give the two light novels, '5cm/s' and 'Sli', to FULLDRIVE Bunko for publication. I am willing to fight for the maximum benefit for you within my scope of responsibility, a 13% share!"
Hakuto nodded slightly. Then he said to Chris, "These two light novels can be published by you. However, I have one condition. As long as you agree to this condition, even the minimum 7% share is fine."
Yamada Chris asked, "Please tell us, Sensei."
"Suppress the Fujikawa Shoten's Author, Kasumi Utako. I require you to do your utmost to suppress Kasumi Utako!"
A look of confusion appeared in Chris's eyes.
"Sensei, do you an..."
"Literally. I have a grudge against Kasumi Utako. Originally, I planned to use these two light novels to get Fujikawa Shoten to suppress Kasumi Utako. But unfortunately, they refused. So, you can consider whether you agree."
Chris's mind only needed to think for a mont. Then he gave his answer.
"No problem. I can agree to that. I will persuade the editor-in-chief to use all of FULLDRIVE Bunko's connections to suppress Kasumi Utako. However, when it cos to the share, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight for a 13% share for you, teacher."
"I don't lack money. So the minimum 7% share is fine."
Chris nodded.
"Then this will be written into the contract. Is that acceptable to you, Byakuya-sensei?"
"Of course. That way, you feel secure, and I feel secure."
Hakuto nodded and said to Chris.
Soon, each had a signed contract.
"Alright. Now that your business is done, I have sothing I want to discuss with you."
After Chris and Hakuto finished talking, Elf spoke.
