"I know! I've seen this book!"

Hearing what the second daughter of the family, Hinata, who was still a primary school student, said, the Wu Geng couple and Liuli both turned their attention to her.

"Hinata, where did you see me? The teacher's office?"

The old-fashioned father of Wu Geng believed that children in the fifth grade of elementary school generally did not even know the Chinese characters, could not finish reading fairy tale books by themselves, let alone read novels.

Moreover, the scope of making friends is also limited, and the most likely ones are the personal belongings of young teachers.

"No! I read the book with this sister on it yesterday when I was helping the teacher move books! There are many, many of the same books.

I was stealing...ah, no, I happened to hear the teachers talking and said, that is a set of light novels that will be distributed to everyone today! It seems to be some extracurricular designated reading donated by the horse company."

Hearing what Hinata said, Wu Geng and his wife both smiled knowingly. Wu Geng's mother reached out and touched Hinata's head and said:

“So that’s the case, that’s no wonder.

It has been selected as a teaching book by the school, so it must be a very powerful book, right?"

At the fifth watch, my father also said with relief:

"Yeah, just like when Natsume Soseki's books were selling like hotcakes, my father gritted his teeth and bought a set even though he didn't read much.

The bookstore gave me a writing brush as a gift."

Liuli was stunned to see her parents so easily accept a light novel that was not a classic as a designated extracurricular reading for primary school students.

What’s wrong with the world? Or am I really behind the times? When did light novels become mainstream culture?

Or is it that only the cover is in the style of a light novel, but the inside is actually a very beautiful collection of prose poems?

But at this moment, the morning news being broadcast on TV attracted the attention of Liuli and Wu Geng couple——

["Divine Comedy-Altaïr" is a fantasy light novel published by GA Bunko. Two volumes I and II were released two years ago. Together with the third volume "Alchemy Revolver Pointing to Destiny" which is on sale today, there are three volumes in total.

roll.】

[But, this time is different. This time, in order to release the third volume after two years, the publisher has reprinted the first and second volumes. This time it is an illustrated version, which is more suitable for younger readers...]

[Speaking of illustrations, we have to mention the illustrator this time, Mr. Mashiro Shiina...]

…………

"Dear, look, it's been broadcast on the news. It seems that there is absolutely no problem now."

"Yes, it seems that the company has long wanted to take advantage of this popular book to increase product sales, but I, a small employee, don't know it..."

"That is to say, maybe it is because we have not kept pace with the times that we can only be a small clerk..."

Is this really the case? Liuli's mind kept spinning. No matter what, he couldn't accept his parents' speculation.

[If it were in the field of light novels, I wouldn't know it] This is a kind of mysterious confidence on her part.

What shocked Ruri even more was the name [Shiina Mashiro], but isn’t she a super powerful cartoonist? Why did she draw illustrations for light novels?!

"I've decided, I'm going to take the time to read that book carefully. Anyway, among the gifts in stock in the store, there will definitely be a lot of defective products that cannot be used as merchandise."

"Then I'll take a look, too, but I'd better go to the bookstore and buy two sets in person. It's better not to use defective books for my collection. By the way... Liuli, do you want dad to help you buy a set too?"

"...Thank you, Dad."

Liuli hesitated for a moment, but accepted her father's kindness.

After all, she was also very curious about this book. It was a light novel that could be featured on the morning news, and she wanted to read it.

The illustrations drawn by Mr. Shiina Mashiro are a great deal even if you buy the illustrations and get toilet paper as a gift.

Moreover, it was the first time that a light novel was given to me by my parents instead of bought with my own pocket money or money earned from part-time work. I don’t know why, but it felt special and fresh.

…………

After breakfast time, after washing the dishes with the help of her mother, Liuli was ready to go to school.

Sister Tsumugi was sent to a nursery by her father, while sister Hinata was sent to a nearby elementary school by Ruri.

In Hinata's elementary school, which is also Ruri's alma mater, Ruri saw the poster of "Divine Comedy-Altaïr" that took up an entire wall.

Liuli stopped to look at this huge painting, and for the first time she felt the power of the illustrator. Whether it was lines, brushstrokes or composition, they all showed the mystery and strong visual sense of the characters in the painting, as if the characters in the painting were under the

It looks like it's about to start moving in a second...it clearly doesn't use a realistic style of painting.

"As expected of Shiina Mashiro-sensei, he can draw masterpieces like "The Glory of Noblesse". This painting skill is not something ordinary people can achieve..."

After seeing Hinata off, Liuli headed towards her school. When she passed by a commercial street on the way, she found that a familiar figure appeared in her field of vision again for some reason.

Bookstores, electrical appliance stores, video stores, convenience stores, cake shops...

Many stores have removed the original posters and replaced them with stand-up posters of "Altaïr".

"Haha, the publishing house has done a good job in promoting this, even though it wasn't there yesterday..."

Continuing to move forward, Liuli passed by a station. Similarly, this station originally had many advertising spaces for businesses, but today they were all replaced with posters for "Divine Comedy - Altair".

"No way? How can you grab advertising space from banks and the real estate industry..."

Yes, originally there should be advertisements for [Shuangma Bank], [Shuangma Payment] and [Shuangma Real Estate].

Since the school is very close, Liuli does not need to go in and take the tram, but Liuli can imagine that inside the tram, the place where the light novel booth was originally mounted must be occupied by this "Divine Comedy - Altair".

"Am I really behind the times?"

At five o'clock in the morning, Liuli immediately quickened her pace and rushed to school. She had to rush to her seat and took out her mobile phone to read the novel website.

(It is not advisable to play with mobile phones while walking)

I want to confirm whether I am behind the times, or whether the promotion of this novel really just started today.

Yes, everything started together this morning. The promotion of this novel must have been planned to start today.

That must be the case.

The distance to the school is getting closer and closer, and the proportion of young people on the roadside, especially the proportion of students wearing the same black sailor uniform as Wu Geng Liuli, is increasing, which means that the school is getting closer and closer.

However, what Liuli didn't expect was that the usual gossip about classmates in her ears should be scandalous gossip about celebrities and idols, but today for some reason they all turned into a familiar name "Altaier".

After finally making it to the classroom, Liuli took out her mobile phone and was ready to confirm who the book "Altaïr" was, but before she could open the Shuangma browser, Didi's email notification sound came.

.

The title of the content is also the familiar name-"Altaïr".

I can’t believe that Shuangma Mailbox, which claims to be permanently ad-free, actually pushes ads?!

I clicked on the online novel consultation platform that I usually log in to, and as expected, the "Divine Comedy - Altair" poster and detailed information appeared on the screen at the same time, occupying half of the home page.
Chapter completed!
