Chapter 164: Kimura Kazuko

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

As for this incident, it didn’t waver Kimura Kazuki’s heart.

His emotions weren’t affected by the comments on the internet that scolded him or the public opinion that praised him.

Instead, he thought of Akino’s problem. He laid his eyes on Chiba Shiori and asked, “Would there be any way to get a sale of 500,000 yen on Steam for a game with a quality slightly higher than a standard one?”

He had no idea of the quality of Akino’s game so far, so he could only discuss it based on a game with standard quality.

Chiba Shiori sensed the reiki going into her eyes from Kimura Kazuki’s fingers. Every time Kimura Kazuki applied a Vision Spell on her, the clear and bright feeling from both of her eyes was rather addictive. Upon hearing the question, Chiba Shiori was stunned for a while. But she took it seriously and answered after taking some time to clear up her mind, “As long as the quality of the game isn’t bad, a sales of 500,000 yen can be achieved as time passes.”

After all, the players all around the world could purchase the game on Steam.

And there were billions of players all over the world. Games have become a necessary entertainment for humans nowadays.

“How about within a short time?”

“As for a short time...” Chiba Shiori hesitated for a moment before speaking, “I don’t understand games well. But if one wants to increase the sales of the game, there are only two methods, high game quality, and publicity.”

These two methods would have suited any field. Take light novels as an example, as long as it is interesting, and it has enough publicity, it would be too easy for a light novel to become famous.

Just like the novel ‘Loading File of Tokyo,’ which she wrote together with Yuriko. Although they received positive feedback in the early stages, the popularity remained

stagnant all along. Only when Akino promoted it on Twitter did it go viral. Nowadays, ‘Loading File of Tokyo’ had become the most sought after and discussed novel. And this was the reason why Chiba Shiori was so grateful when she met Akino previously.

Akino’s Twitter account has millions of followers, most, if not all, are active users. In addition to that, she had never endorsed anything so the followers acknowledged her. Many of them read ‘Loading File of Tokyo’ and would promote it through word of mouth if they find it really good. The spread of its fame was astonishing. Thus, swarms of publishers contacted her in the past two days. And of course, her editor had been chatting with her online, aiming to publish ‘Loading File of Tokyo.’ Some anime studios even contacted her personally, planning to animate her novel. But these animated companies were not well-known, and some also had dark histories. So Chiba Shiori hung up the phone without giving a reply. She believed that the climax of this novel was located between the end of Volume Three and the beginning of Volume Four. Due to her typing speed, she had already come to the middle part of Volume Three. Within a few days, she would finish the ending of Volume Three.

Upon reaching its climax, its popularity would experience another boom if everything goes well. That’s the best time to filter out the publishers and anime studios.

Thinking deeply while looking at Kimura Kazuki, something came up to Chiba Shiori’s mind suddenly. She asked, “Don’t tell me that... the reason why you are concerned about this is because of the specter’s wish?”

“Yes...” Kimura Kazuki was shocked. “You knew this as well.”

He should not have behaved that obvious.

Chiba Shiori chuckled, “We are considered close, right? You don’t care about ACG usually. But now you are suddenly asking about games, so I guess it would be related to that. And I could tell it was probably about Akino.”

Last time in District B, Chiba Shiori saw Akino and the others. She gasped in surprise when she realized that they were quadruplets. Pretty quadruplets like them were too rare. At that moment, she felt threatened in her heart, so she observed them carefully.

She realized that Kimura Kazuki didn’t have intimate feelings with the Furuhashi sisters, so she let out a sigh of relief. Furuhashi Akino was the one coding for the game, so she knew it through their chats.

It was apparent since Kimura Kazuki asked about this so suddenly.

“Yeah... It is about Akino. Their mother is with me,” Kimura Kazuki told her about Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s obsession.

Upon hearing, Chiba Shiori could not help laughing. She gazed at the Sun and Moon Sword in Kimura Kazuki’s hand, guessing that Furuhashi Sakurakyu was inside, “No wonder that you would take part in the Kendo competition, so this was the case.” As for speaking, she paused before suggesting,” If you don’t know beans about games, you can’t provide any assistance to improve the quality of the game. So I think you can work on publicity.”

Now Kimura Kazuki was famous on the internet. Before this, he was only popular among Kendo fans. But the recent public opinion online, not only Japanese, any netizen would have heard about the Sakura Kyu High School incident. After all, it was about education and bullying in school. Netizens worldwide would be concerned about this issue, especially parents.

After the news was left to ferment for a few days, all of the news of Kimura Kazuki became positive. Moreover, public opinion on him was increasingly positive. He was even given titles such as ‘Big Brother’ and ‘Club President.’

But as the students in Sakura Kyu called Kimura Kazuki as Head of Department Kimura collectively, basically everyone would address him as Head of Department Kimura. It was as if he was ritualistically given this title online.

Chiba Shiori spent two days to understand the incidents on the internet thoroughly. After the public opinion flipped, she noticed that among the illustrator groups, an illustrator had feminized Kimura Kazuki. In the picture, the girl had a pair of ponytails, wearing a Sakura Kyu High School uniform with a Disciplinary Committee Member armband around a shoulder, and a tachi strapped around her waist. Her skirt was slightly lifted by a light breeze, exposing her blue and white panty.

That illustrator claimed that he was inspired by the poster designed by Kimura Kazuki’s Fan Club, where the Kimura Kazuki in the female version was known as Kimura Kazuko. Once this picture was published, it gained a lot of positive feedback and caused Kimura Kazuki’s popularity to scale to new heights.

Of course, Chiba Shiori didn’t tell Kimura Kazuki about this. She worried that if he knew this news, he would grab a sword and kill the illustrator. Based on her understanding of Kimura Kazuki’s strength, he could do it without a hitch. Of course, it was possible for him to not realize this at all. After all, in Chiba Shiori’s eyes, Kimura Kazuki was considered an open-minded person.

But what Kimura Kazuki didn’t realize was, sneaky Natsui was considering to set up another Kimura Kazuki’s Fan Club division on the internet, with the school as their foundation.

So from Chiba Shiori’s point of view, Kimura Kazuki could draw support from the public. He could make a Twitter account and gain followers. By the time Akino’s game is released, he could endorse it for her.

Kimura Kazuki pondered over the Twitter suggestion before nodding his head slowly, “You are right, I should do that.”

But Kimura Kazuki did not intend to do it himself. Instead, he planned to discuss it with Yagyu Kenichiro later.
