After the general context, or in other words, the context is determined, all that's left are some minor issues in the book.

For example, should some of the overly intense content described by Hoshikatsu in the article need to be revised, such as the direction of the fourth volume, such as the specific release date, such as the deadline for illustrations, such as editor Toki's evil intentions to lure Mashiro into the illustration world?

…

Regarding the content, Xingke didn’t want to say more. Until all the members of [Hongjie Ark] were teased, the direction issue had already been decided.

The subject matter changes with each volume, and the worldview also changes with each volume. Xing Ke doesn't have to worry about inspiration at all. If the things that happened around him were written down in a diary, it would be a fantasy novel in itself.

So although I'm sorry to Editor Toki, Hoshikatsu is really not prepared to listen to his opinions on the content.

As for his proposal to add cute and cute female characters?

Xingke felt that it was unnecessary. Hongjie Ark was originally a yin and a yang. Except for Uncle Blitzcrank and Suzaku, who else was not a cute girl?

Um, no...Daya is considered asexual? Gems have no gender, but she must be a cute girl if she is so cute.

By the way, it seems that there is Xing Ke himself...he is an exception.

The reason why editor Toki suggested adding female characters may be because after reading the third volume, he discovered that most of the characters in the magical alchemical kingdom in the third volume are very handsome and stylish male characters, right?

Editor Toki is worried that the genre of novels will be more female-oriented in the future.

But Xing Mo said there was no need to worry about this. Except for Uncle Blitz, who came into contact with a group of desperate rough guys because of his job as a bounty hunter, the rest of the group's friendship circle was normal.

Serekia already has a boyfriend, and her best friends are all her boyfriend's confidantes... Can you believe it?

If Serekia hadn't indeed had red hair, she would have suspected that she had red-green color inversion syndrome.

As for Misaka, her stories are all about cute girls and cute female perverts, except for a certain hedgehog.

Mo Meixiang is even more extreme. Except for her father, whose head is not exposed, none of the characters are male... Are you really Zi Gongxiang?

Therefore, after reviewing the possible characters, Xingji assured the editor that the appearance of cute girls will be greatly strengthened in the future.

Regarding the issue of description of excessive scenes, editor Toki said that it may involve the [Cultural Communication Review Committee] issue, commonly known as [over review].

There are no big problems in the first two volumes. They don't describe any overly intense scenes. Even in the first volume, Altair almost destroyed the entire Tokyo area. There is no problem.

After all, which Neon-famous monster movie didn’t destroy Tokyo?

Mainly in the third volume, Xing Ke describes the taboo technology of human body alchemy in some detail. It is not only cruel and bloody, but also has some anti-human tendencies.

Editor Toki said that even an uncle himself felt uncomfortable after reading it. If it were really published, this paragraph might be classified as an area prohibited for those under 18 years of age.

However, the star carving indicates that this is this volume, or it is a feature of this world view, and it is limited to this volume only.

In the outline of future volumes, that is, in the world of Alictria, because it is the story of a march to prevent the end of the world, the style of the painting may be darker, right?

Therefore, this little bit of extreme description is more like a finishing touch than a flaw, and Xing Ke insists on not wanting to change it.

As for the issue of passing the trial, he will solve it himself.

Editor Toki still compromised on this point. After all, in the current industry, there are quite a few harem works that sell meat under the label of pure love.

The backstage is tough, and Mr. Toki can't control it.

………………

During the discussion, two hours passed without realizing it. Lunch time was almost over, and editors Hoshikatsu and Toki also refilled their coffees two or three times.

But even though the meal is almost over, the maid cafe is no longer crowded. Instead, it feels like it is starting to become lively...

"A certain teacher really doesn't think about selling..."

"oh!!--"

Before Editor Toqi finished his sentence, the cheers of the party guests at the large table not far away overwhelmed his voice, and Xingke's attention was also attracted to them.

It seems like a group of cute dolphins have named the maids and ladies to play games together?

When I first came to the store, I already looked at the menu. If a group spends more than 100,000 yuan, you can take photos, play games, etc. with the girls.

At first glance, it looked like a means to stimulate consumption, but Xing was still a little tempted at that time, but she gave up after thinking that she had to wait for someone...

"...Teacher so-and-so!"

"well?!"

Editor Toqi's voice called back Xingke's attention, but looking at the absent-minded Xingke, he sighed slightly:

“In this meeting, the general matters have been decided, and other trivial matters can also be discussed over the phone.

Teacher So-and-so, you may be tired too, why don’t we just stop here today?”

"...I'm sorry, it's rare to find an editor as serious and responsible as Mr. Toki. I shouldn't have been distracted just now."

Xingke was apologizing really seriously. He was indeed a little rude just now.

"It's nothing. Teacher So-and-so doesn't need to worry about it. I'm just a little impatient... To be honest, sitting with Teacher So-and-so and chatting for a long time can be enough. Teacher So-and-so has a kind of casual and relaxed attitude that is not affected by the currents of the world.

atmosphere."

"Are you saying that I am taking my time, like an old salted fish?"

"No, no, no... I just want to say that people like me, who work overtime seven days a week, live a fast-paced life every day, and have endless things to do, are commonly known as [social animals]. In fact, I envy the slow and casual nature of a certain teacher.

The attitude towards life...is this."

"envious?"

"Yes, envious.

If a teacher had this mentality of "There is still a lot of time, don't rush, just take a look at the scenery on the roadside", I might not have lost my hair in my early thirties, right?"

I don't know why, but anyone who is a little more sensitive can feel the strange feeling in Xingji, as if time has stopped.

This kind of temperament may not be so obvious when it appears on a country grandpa, at most it is stronger, but when it appears on a young man in a metropolitan city like Xingke, it is a little weird...

"What are you talking about? Without a social worker like Editor Toqi who is busy every day, how can a salty fish like me kill time in peace?"

"...Are you trying to comfort me? Why do I always feel so angry?"

"Haha, it's just your illusion."

In this way, Xingke and the editor, whom he had known for two years but had only met once today, decided to call it a night.

Editor Toki has to go back to the company in the afternoon, and Hoshiki is planning to visit the SkyTube store again.

But just when Toki Editor, a self-proclaimed "elderly", went to pay the bill, a group of people came in from outside the store——

The leader is a very tall woman, but her dress is very masculine and simple, with a large plaid shirt and jeans, a old-fashioned headband, unattractive glasses, and blue canvas shoulders.

The backpack completely covered up her feminine beauty...

In other words, apart from the fact that she is a woman, she is basically a real fat nerd.

Behind her are two little sisters who are the complete opposite. These two are petite in stature, but their clothes are models of feminine charm, but their [directions] are completely different.

One is a girl with long straight black hair in a dark gothic loli skirt, and the other is a girl with long orange hair dyed in an urban fashion style.

Xing Ke actually saw these three girls who looked like they were not from the same place standing together, and they seemed to be in the same group?

This really surprised Xingke, it was so rare.

But if they were just passers-by, Xingke would have given them a second look. The reason why Xingke started to pay attention to them was the child in the gothic dress.

After her eyes came to Xingke's side, she suddenly broke away from the team and walked towards this side.

Xingke was sure that her target was here, but Xingke said that she had never seen this child before, so she ruled out other less likely options, that is to say...

"Did you come here to strike up a conversation because of my appearance?

Haha, just kidding...

Mr. Toki?"

After laughing at himself, Xingke patted Editor Toqi who was making statements and reminded:

"Look, is that child here to find you? Is it your daughter?"

Editor Toqi then turned around and moved his gaze in the direction pointed by Xing Ke.

"How can I have a daughter? I'm not even married yet... Miss Wu Geng?"

When Editor Toki saw the person coming, he spit out a name. It seemed that Goth Loli was indeed someone he knew.

The Goth Loli girl stood in front of Editor Toki and said hello very politely:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Toki, I passed by here occasionally and saw you."

"Good afternoon, Miss Wu Geng. I happen to be here for an interview with the writer teacher, which just ended. Do you want Miss Wu Geng to be here too?"

"...came with an acquaintance."

Wu Geng turned around and pointed at the two girls waiting not far away.

"It's an offline gathering in a chat room."

"Is that so... Then please take your time, Miss Wu Guan, I have work in the afternoon..."

"Please wait……"

At the fifth watch, I couldn't stand the deserted character, so I hurriedly called out the Toqi editor:
To be continued...
