Chapter 55 55 Mrs. Yuki-Onna is so Weak, She Already Turned into a S*xdoll
Receiving Machida's answer, the smile disappeared from Hakuto's face. Then he looked regretfully at Machida and said, "In that case, forget it."
Machida's expression changed. She still wanted to try to win Hakuto over, but Hakuto had already stood up.
"Then, goodbye for now."
"Byakuya-sensei, please consider it again. I can apply to the editor-in-chief to increase your share."
Machida said to Hakuto.
But Hakuto simply left. Machida's expression changed a few times. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak.
After walking out, Hakuto took out his phone and sent the novel directly to Fujikawa Shoten's rival, FULLDRIVE Bunko.
In the cafe.
After hesitating repeatedly, Machida took out her phone and contacted Utaha.
"Sonoko-san, I don't have any ideas for the final volume of the light novel right now. And I've been busy lately."
Utaha said directly after answering the phone.
"It's not about that. Utaha, I want to know if you've offended a boy at school who looks very handsome and, when he smiles, gives you the feeling of a knife at your neck."
Utaha immediately pictured Hakuto in her mind. Then she immediately asked, "Has something happened?"
"Today, I received a light novel submission from this person. And the only condition for his submission was to suppress you, even to the point of blacklisting you!"
Utaha furrowed her delicate brows slightly. Then she asked, "Is his light novel very excellent?"
"Excellent? He submitted two light novels. One is a short light novel that I estimate will sell at least a million copies. As for the other, I have a feeling that as long as there are no major mistakes in the subsequent plot, it will be a ten-million-level seller!"
Utaha gasped. She knew Machida's insight well. When Machida first saw her light novel, she had frankly said it wasn't good. It was only after Machida's help in revising it that it was published and sold.
Even then, Machida had told Utaha that the sales volume would be less than ten thousand.
And Machida was right. The first volume of "Love Metronome" had a mediocre response. If it weren't for Machida's subsequent help, "Love Metronome" would have been discontinued by the second volume.
"So, did you agree to his condition?"
"No, I refused. I feel like I will definitely regret this choice today."
Utaha was silent on the other end of the line for a long time before speaking. "I'm sorry."
"So, how did you offend such a talented sensei? I have a feeling that once his two novels are published, they will become immediately popular. Then you will probably..."
A flicker of fighting spirit appeared in Utaha's eyes.
"I will finish the fifth volume of 'Love Metronome' as soon as possible. Then I want to compete with him. Sonoko-san, please check for me when his light novel will be released. I want to release mine at the same time as his."
Machida was shocked by Utaha's response.
"Utaha, are you crazy? We should avoid his attack at a time like this. If you release at the same time as him, I suspect you will be crushed to nothing."
Machida's words only made Utaha's fighting spirit burn even stronger.
"Don't worry, Sonoko-san. I will give you the most perfect fifth volume to take up the challenge."
Machida had a headache.
"Write it first. Then, if it doesn't pass my review, I won't arrange for its publication."
Utaha on the other end of the line answered with high fighting spirit, "Don't worry, Sonoko-san. I won't lose."
After hanging up the phone, Machida felt a huge headache.
"It's a pity I couldn't sign such a talented sensei."
Hakuto opened the door and walked into his room. He didn't expect that after passing through the entrance and entering the living room, he found Yukino and Natsuki in his home.
"Uh, Natsuki-chan, Yukinoshita-san, why are you in my house?"
"Minamiya-sensei and I just happened to run into each other."
Natsuki looked at Hakuto, then said to him, "Do you know what the pendant on your neck and the ring on your finger are?"
Hakuto answered directly, "They're Spirits, right."
"That's right. They're Spirits. But to be more precise, they should be gods, or even above gods."
Natsuki opened her fan.
Sitting on the table, Natsuki crossed her legs. Her legs, wrapped in black stockings, made Hakuto look a few more times.
"Stop staring."
Natsuki rolled her eyes at Hakuto.
"Ah ha, sorry. But it's because Natsuki-chan is too cute."
Natsuki — no, all the girls who had diary copies — had long seen through Hakuto's perverted nature, so naturally, they weren't surprised.
"Spirit is just a general term. The specific classification of Spirits is Wolf, Tiger, Demon, Dragon, and God."
[This classification is quite similar to the one in 'One Punch Man'!]
Natsuki glanced at Hakuto and continued, "Wolf-level Spirits are generally no different from ordinary people. At most, their strength and speed are a bit better than ordinary people. Ordinary people can handle them if they're strong enough or have tools."
"Tiger-level Spirits have begun to possess abilities like controlling fire and controlling water. This kind of Spirit is no longer something ordinary people can handle."
"Demon-level Spirits have the power to destroy a small country. By the way, the one next door to you is a Yuki-Onna with the power of a Demon-level!"
[Mrs. Yuki-Onna is actually a Demon-level Spirit? She doesn't look like it at all. She's so weak. In the story, she already turned into a s*xdoll. Isn't a Demon-level supposed to have the power to destroy a small country? Are you sure you're not kidding me?]
Mifuyu's chest heaved rapidly from anger.
'I'm not married, not married, not married. How many times do I have to say it for you to remember?'
Mifuyu immediately became defenseless.
Natsuki rolled her eyes inwardly, 'Has Yukino Mifuyu offended you? Why do you have to attack her like this, again and again?'
"As for Dragon-level Spirits above Demon-level, they can easily destroy an entire continent. No amount of human military forces can defeat a Dragon-level Spirit. There are only two ways to deal with this kind of Spirit."
