Neon's New Year's holiday is in January. Starting from New Year's Day, students will have nearly a month's leave, while workers will have a few days' vacation.

To be honest, if Machida Yuanzi hadn't mentioned the Sword Art Online anime, Yuuki Ritu would have almost forgotten about it.

Facing Machida Yuanko's gaze, Yuuki Ritu tilted his head uncomfortably.

"Then... in which episode is the Sword Art Online animation released?"

All of a sudden, the surroundings quieted down, and even Gabriel, who was playing with her phone with her head down, raised her head in surprise.

No one would have thought that as the author of the Sword Art Online light novel, the game producer and the animation director Randou Yuuki, he didn't even know which episode of the animation is out now.

This guy, has it been a long time since he watched the anime adapted from his own work? !

Machida Yuanzi covered his face with his hands helplessly.

"The twelfth episode will air next week."

"oh oh."

Yuuki Rido made a sudden realization, nodded again and again, and then felt Machida Yuanzi's unkind gaze, and felt that his attitude towards Sword Art Online was a little contemptuous, so he quickly remedied.

"I have already written the next volume of Sword Art Online, and another volume will be published in the first month of the month. In terms of games, it is natural to carry out New Year's activities. I think the business-minded director of the library has already thought of it and started it. Ready, as for the anime, it shouldn't be very humane to let the staff work overtime during the holidays, so we won't broadcast a new episode. I remember that a season of anime is usually twelve episodes, so in the twelfth episode of Sword Art Online At the end, tell the audience that the first season of Sword Art Online has a total of 24 episodes... Uh, you haven't announced this yet, have you?"

"Such information has been disclosed through unofficial channels."

"Then this time it's an official announcement."

Yuuki Rito breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had performed well, and Sword Art Online fans should forgive their previous ignorance.

And Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Gabriel both looked at Yuuki Rido with a novel look. This was the first time they saw Yuuki Rido's business moves.

How should I put it? Although I don't know how the measures Yuuki Rido said will be implemented, at least now, Yuuki Rido is showing a neat and neat posture, which is very handsome.

Chapter 0640 Next Steps for Libraries

In fact, with the current size of the Fantasia library, as long as some mental retardation measures are not taken to death, everything can continue to develop step by step. The so-called holiday activities are just icing on the cake, no matter whether the flower is beautiful or not, as long as it is a flower. After all, the original Fantasia library It is already brocade.

There was nothing wrong with the measures Yuuki Rido said, Machida Yuanko nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and said a little unnaturally.

"Bunko will start the New Year's Light Novel Awards. If he wins the top three, Bunko will also hold some publicity and awards activities. Are you free?"

Machida Yuanko's words made Yuuki Rito frown.

"Does this mean that I have to attend publicity and awards events? Let me award the awards in person?"

"No no no, although there have been many excellent light novels in the library recently, your Sword Art Online has started an era of light novels after all, and accumulated a large number of readers. The award is destined, you should accept the bonus and cooperate with it. publicity."

"It doesn't make sense, Sword Art Online is already famous enough now, bonuses and awards, you should know that it's useless to me, find a way to get Sword Art Online out of this award ceremony... Well, in the top three The animation decision is added to the name's reward, Sword Art Online has already released the animation, so there is no need to participate, that's all."

In fact, Yuuki Rido's real mentality is that he just doesn't want to waste time. The study of the concept of destiny has not yet come to a conclusion. If he spends time with the girl he cares about, it will be fine. If it is wasted on such insignificant things as the award ceremony Time, Yuuki Rito felt that he was losing blood.

Seeing Yuuki Rido so easily give up the reward that she must get, as a light novelist, Kasumigaoka Shiyu is in a very complicated mood. Whether it is promotion or light novel awards, they are all things she yearns for. Although the love metronome is also considered A popular work, but it is outside the top five in the light novel ranking of Fantasia Bunko, only barely in the top ten.

As for animation, it is a level that Shiyu of Xiazhiqiu has not yet reached, or in other words, a level that is difficult to reach in light novels other than Sword Art Online.

After Yuki Rido set various quality standards for Bunko's animation production department, light novel animation became a huge investment. Although the success of Sword Art Online animation allowed them to see the benefits in this regard, Bunko did not have any in the past. So many talents can produce two high-quality animations at the same time. As Tenjoin Shaji said, everything in the library is making concessions for Sword Art Online.

Today's booming Fantasia library can produce two or three high-quality animations at the same time. Machida Yuanzi did not have a strong willingness to reject Yuuki Rido's words, but said hesitantly.

"In that case... the cost should be huge, right?"

"The expense is high and the income is also high. You should also see the income list of Sword Art Online, right? Anime is one of the best ways to create an independent IP, which can be called a brand effect. In addition to income from online members and other channels, there are also income from games and peripherals. Even if other light novels do not directly produce a large-scale mobile game like Sword Art Online, you can also make Galgame. After the specific instructions, you and Hongsaka Zhuyin, Xue Let Yang negotiate on his own."

Yuuki Rido opened his head a little and showed Machida Yuanzi a way, but he was too lazy to say any more. This kind of behavior that whetted the appetite of others and then abandoned it made Machida Yuanzi feel extremely uncomfortable. Shiyu Kasumigaoka Same feeling.

Seeing that Gabriel was still playing the game seriously, Machida Yuanzi and Kasumigaoka Shiyu both stared at him, obviously looking forward to the following, Yuuki Ritu continued helplessly.

"Forget it, anyway, the library has a lot of talent now, it's time to start further development, Shi Yu, didn't you also help with some of the work of the rouge club? You can let Hongsaka Zhu Yin start to lead the club to produce a love metronome as the The original Galgame."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's eyes suddenly became full of surprise. The girl who was originally confident and had a black belly, now showed an uneasy look.

"Can the love metronome really make Galgame? Shouldn't we hold a competition first, and then let the Rouge Club select good enough works to make Galgame?"

"Compared to fantasy fighting light novels, the love metronome, which focuses on daily love, is one of the best choices for making Galgame, but I don't deny that I've opened a back door for you now, so don't let me down."

Yuuki Rito said so much work all at once, and the people in the library naturally have a lot of things to deal with. Machida Yuanko, who has seen the angel and feels that his fantasy has collapsed, stood up at this time and said complaining.

"I thought I would have a holiday today, but instead my work has increased. It seems that I have to go to the library branch first. Teacher Xia Shizi, you'd better come with me. You also need to know about the work of Galgame production."

Yuuki Rido on the side originally wanted to say that Machida Yuanko doesn’t have to be so busy with work, and it’s okay to be an idler from now on, but if you think about it carefully, just like his main goal is to become stronger and capture beautiful girls, Machida Yuanzi’s goal is It is to do a good job of the editor-in-chief and the head of the headquarters. Before the work is so heavy that it affects people's physical and mental health, there is no need to stop her.

Moreover, Yuuki Lito does not think that Machida Yuanzi invited Kasumigaoka Shiyu to leave with him, just for work.

Watching Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Machida Yuanko stand up together, Yuuki Rido finally asked.

"Aren't you going to play more while you come to Chiba City?"

"The boss said, the subordinate broke his leg. It seems Kayaba-sensei still doesn't understand the hard work of us ordinary workers. However, during the New Year's holiday, I might really want to disturb you."

"Please feel free to disturb me, Shi Yu, you too."

Machida Yuanko and Yuuki Rido have a conversation that reveals an intimate relationship here and there, which makes Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyes flash with admiration, and does not respond to Yuki Rido's invitation, and Machida Yuanko silently left to Fantasia Bunko Chiba Branch .

Chapter 0641 Gabriel's Curiosity

Gabriel, who had been playing with her mobile phone with her head down, raised her head at this time, her eyes stopped for a moment on the backs of Machida Yuanzi and Kasugaoka Shiyu's gradually receding back, and looked at Yuuki Rido and asked.

"What will be the game during the New Year's holiday?"

"..."

Rido Yuuki was caught off guard by Gabriel's question. He originally saw the various expressions and actions of the angel girl, and thought she was going to ask Shiyu Kasumigaoka or Yuanko Machida, but he still asked about the game activities. , as expected of a house angel.

"Let me see."

Lidou Yuuki opened his mobile phone mailbox, and as expected, there were a bunch of emails from various departments in the Fantasia library, ignoring those usual report emails, and Lidou Yuuki searched for a while to find out about the Sword Art Online game activities. proposal.

"Starting the New Year's Ritual event, there will be a large number of event monsters on each floor of Aincrad. After defeating them, you will get event points, which will be used to draw event prize pools, including props, equipment, and event-limited costumes for each character... eh? With Yukinoshita's profiteer character, it's weird that he only wants the player's life and not money."

Yuuki Rito continued to scroll down the email while reading the event content to Gabriel.

"During the New Year's event, if you can recharge the game to the specified amount, you will have the opportunity to draw a Sword Art Online autograph and other physical prizes."

Yukinoshita Yangnai's profiteering business was finally exposed, and it really required money and death. Seeing that Yukinoshita Yangnai was not so mad enough to directly sell kryptonite props that broke the balance of the game, Yuuki Randou let it go. With one eye closed, this proposal was passed.

On the other hand, Gabriel, who had been listening attentively, could not help but ask when Yuuki Rido stopped.

"Is it gone?"
