Chapter 138 – Volume 28 – Fire to the Future (3)
“It’s sold out…”
“It’s not even a reservation, but it’s probably the first time I’ve exceeded my previous expectations. Witch Academy was slower than this, even though people who bought multiple copies often bought it.”
At first, it sold at a speed that was not much different from other works.
Rather, it was a little easier to endure because I had produced a little more stock in case I didn’t know.
However, after a few days after the work was sold, the sales volume skyrocketed, and he said that he is now in the middle of producing it by turning to some other factories.
“It’s going viral by word of mouth. Maybe this is more than the Awakening series, if not the Incarnation series.”
“…Are you saying that’s over?”
There was also a time when the sales of that work surged additionally during the exhibition.
Even the sequel came out, so I know that the sales volume of the previous work received a boost and sold quite a lot.
It was to the point that my perception of orcs changed because of that work in the first place, but there’s no way it sold less.
But you think that the unknown caller who departed so late will follow it?
“The reviews are extremely good. Even the average perception of beastmen has increased in some strange investigation.”
In the case of Soo-in, the perception itself was fine from the beginning.
However, there was a case where a beast-man as a marriage partner was perceived as an obscene species from the beginning because of the heat phase.
Now, rather, it has become a point of failure, so the popularity has increased.
“But this is because the overall awareness has risen since Anaru Onsen. I think the improved perception has been fixed with a positive feeling.”
It was a pleasure to hear that Nozomi was loved that much.
And not only that, but also the demand for confessions through letters has soared.
No, but don’t you confess by using a letter from the beginning?
From the beginning, it felt like it was used normally.
“It is said that letters handed down from hand to hand are popular. Originally, most of them are sent through the post, right?”
“Aha…”
Hearing that, it seemed a little out of the ordinary.
To be honest, it’s unusual for me to deliver a letter by hand like Orca did.
No, Orca didn’t know that I was Shiu at the time, so it’s ambiguous to think of the person involved.
“Then, would something like stationery sell outright? If I told Master to make it… Oh, but you said the factory was difficult, right?”
“If I try to make it now, maybe it’s impossible?”
It’s a bit disappointing that you can’t make and sell stationery with goods from the work that actually made this boom.
Still, they say that the scented candles are selling well, so I should be content with that.
I’d rather have one more illustration of that side, so shall we make a different scent?
“Instead, it looks like we need scented candles as well, so we’re pushing the quantity there.”
“Huh? Wait a minute. Why do you need scented candles?”
“Ah, I guess I have to explain that first.”
This time, as the unknown sender became popular, hand-to-hand handing of letters began to become popular.
If you politely refuse there, it will be over, but if you accept it without refusal, it is said that there is a ritual.
Using this scented candle to burn the letter perfectly.
“Burning the letter!?”
“It’s probably the feeling of following the burning of the curse at the end.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s anything other than scented candles, but there are many cases where the confessor prepares scented candles.
Even after hearing the explanation, my head was dizzy for a while.
A fad of burning letters when confessions have spread?
Because of that scene?
“They say it’s an act of wishing the two of them a long happy future without any curses or anything like that. At first, a couple did it first, and then it went viral…”
It’s just that the trend isn’t from the academy.
Although it hadn’t landed at our academy yet.
I wondered if I would be able to see the scene in person sooner or later.
Wow, but this is a trend I never would have imagined.
“And more men bought this work than I thought.”
“…Okay?”
“I think it’s because the main character, Letter, is a man, and his counterpart, Nozomi, is pretty…”
Well, the part about the letter that I just talked about is not possible because only women are fashionable.
Based on the standards of a typical male and female couple, does that mean that both of them have seen my work?
Perhaps this is why the work sold faster.
It seems to be the influence of the male readers I brought in through Witch Academy last time.
This is because the jackpot exploded in an unexpected part.
I was able to accept it very comfortably.
“It’s so amazing. How one cartoon like this can have so much influence.”
“Okay. Oh, I’ll tell Master about the scented candles. Why don’t you draw a separate picture for each scent and release it in several varieties?”
“I think it will be fine.”
To be honest, I feel it even at the academy these days, but the scent of chamomile was so strong that it made me dizzy.
No, I can only smell that scent wherever I go, so it’s getting more and more difficult.
I’ve been thinking that maybe there should be some other options.
“Oh, and I heard it’s popular. I haven’t actually seen it, but it’s popular among girls.”
“What is it?”
“If the girl you like is having a hard time, ask them if you want to touch their tail.”
“Five…”
I didn’t know it would become fashionable.
But now that I think about it, isn’t that a bit dangerous?
The horse’s tail, the tail that’s trending right now is an anal plug…
Doesn’t it sound like ‘Do you want to touch the anal plug handle?’
“Well, I said limited to the ones I like…”
“Believe it or not, but then some girl got her butt plug out.”
“No…”
Shit, I didn’t want to know that.
Just imagining it made me feel sorry for him and I was afraid.
He asked me to touch his tail, but he didn’t pull me, I think he’ll get angry…
Hey, is this a little worse than I thought?
‘I’ll have to tell the kids to touch their tail later.’
Of course, she doesn’t mean to play outdoors.
Roughly, if you do it in front of the other two watching in a club room, you can feel a moderately similar feeling.
That’s honestly not enough.
“Carly!”
“Ah, Rosaria. No, I told you to rest in your club room or dormitory. When did you come along?”
“Hehe, you’re an idiot if you miss out on a date when the other kids aren’t around.”
It must have been difficult to move around because the stomach was gradually full.
I thought it was dangerous to overdo it like that.
After thinking about it, I thought that if I was pregnant, I would want to eat something delicious outside instead of the same meal every day at school.
“I’m sorry. Do you know of any good restaurants nearby that don’t require reservations?”
“Yes, if you go up there…”
After all, you have to ask the locals who live here every day to find a good restaurant.
So I took Rosaria and moved to the restaurant.
I just wanted to see the situation today anyway, so I didn’t have anything in particular to do.
“Huh, finally the second semester is over…”
“Honestly, I’ve been busy drawing manga, so I don’t even know how time passed.”
“Carly, you’re amazing too. You didn’t draw all of them while maintaining pretty good grades.”
I had to give up being in the senior line because I was drawing comics, but all my favorite subjects were A+, so I had no complaints about my grades.
Trying to get an A+ in a subject you didn’t work hard on is greedy.
“Even if you say that, you got at least a B+. Other kids get angry when they hear it.”
“Keuheum, is that so?”
Well, right now, this level of grades is high enough.
It’s not an A+, but there are quite a few A’s, so it’s close to an A on average.
Since there are only monsters next to me, I keep comparing myself to them.
“By the way, this semester is about to end. Then shouldn’t we go back to our parents’ house soon?”
“Um…”
“Don’t make such a disgusted face. In the end, it’s something we have to endure.”
“Yeah, well. Carly is right.”
Rosalia told her story, though she finally sighed and said she would.
She said that she would not go right away as soon as she had vacation, but that she would make a separate schedule and settle in.
Well, it’s better to make a place seriously than to suddenly rush in…
“So the story ends here. I didn’t set up a date with Carly to talk about something serious like that.”
“Okay. I’m sorry. You want me to pay more attention to you?”
I stood up for a moment, gave her a light kiss on her lips, and then returned to her seat.
Rosaria’s smiling face with an expression that seemed to be just like that is quite cute.
The tail of a cat with an anal plug that wags gently is also a bit cute.
“The real food here is fine.”
“Sure. I’ll have to come more often later when I have time.”
“With the other kids besides me?”
“That, it’s not that…”
“It’s a joke, so don’t be surprised.
“A cat? Organically.”
“Is it a cat?”
No, it’s fake
I was dumbfounded and started eating the food with a laugh.
After finishing the meal, she naturally grabbed the inn and went in.
“Do you have an excuse for not going in today?”
“Nothing. It’s just that Rosaria is so cute that she makes a sudden leap.”
However, since this is only my fault, it was also Rosaria’s fault for continuing to seduce me from the end of her meal.
I couldn’t have thought that I wouldn’t make a sudden move after continuing to make remarks that were offensive to my taste.
Our Rosaria is a genius.
“Whoa… You look very urgent. Carly, do you want to touch my tail?”
Uh, let me touch you
