Late at night.
Kaga Resaki and Natsume Ruri were both already asleep.
Natsume Chikage lay in bed, planning to reply to a few messages before going to sleep.
After briefly replying to some ordinary greetings, he focused mainly on the messages sent by Furukawa Ayuo, Matsuo Yuka, Kondo Miyuki, Kaga Kyoko, and Konoe Hitomi.
He first clicked on the message Furukawa Ayuo had sent that morning.
[Furukawa Ayuo: Big brother, remember to come tomorrow after school.]
[Natsume Chikage: I'll definitely remember.]
The reply came quickly.
[Furukawa Ayuo: (^▽^) Ayuo will be waiting for you all along, big brother!]
[Natsume Chikage: See you then.]
After that.
Natsume Chikage clicked on the message Matsuo Yuka had sent around eight o'clock.
[Matsuo Yuka: 9(o>﹏<o) Natsume-kun, do you know how many copies your work sold today?]
[Natsume Chikage: How many?]
The response came instantly.
[Matsuo Yuka: An unbelievable thirty-nine thousand! That's a full thirteen thousand more copies than yesterday! It's absolutely ridiculous!
We think the readers of your novel have gradually finished it and started generating buzz and spreading it online.
I checked the reviews online just now.
The reviews for this novel are incredibly positive, with ratings all above 9.8.
It's even rated better than Yukimura Suzune's work from the same period!]
[Natsume Chikage: That's great. At this pace, it really can sell a hundred thousand copies in a week.]
[Matsuo Yuka: Definitely! Or rather, since it's still in the buzz-building phase and your sales are doing so well, the daily sales over the next few days will only increase day by day.
So tomorrow's sales will most likely be even higher than today's.]
[Natsume Chikage: Higher than today's?]
[Matsuo Yuka: Yes. We have plenty of past data showing that book sales are at their highest in the first few days.
