Acting representative of Delzen Paper and Delzen Printing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharune – A female ancient devil. Also known as the Devil Who Severs Bonds, Letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humanoid costume, the man in black, finally got a name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuuma Kato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was decided by lottery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lottery, that is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I associated the black outfit with a ninja, so I threw famous names like Hattori and Sarutobi into the box as lottery slips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others helped too. Loo, Tier, Ria, Ann, and the mountain elves like Yaa all contributed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that, there should have been more than a hundred name candidates inside the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one who drew the lottery was one of the spiderlings who would be riding inside the humanoid costume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It shot a web into the box I had mixed up and pulled out a slip, but…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the web’s adhesive strength was too strong, because two slips came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were Fuuma and Kato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were slips I had put in myself. Was that the will of something unseen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since two slips came out, Loo and the others took it as some kind of message. Since it was a good opportunity, they decided to make Fuuma the given name and Kato the family name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiderlings who would be riding inside also liked the name, so it was settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To me, it still feels a bit strange, but the name Fuuma is not impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that is the case, then it is fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, I regret a little that I did not go with something like Kotaro or Danzo instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will be more careful next time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A newspaper was created in Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it is called a newspaper, it is not something with many pages that gets delivered to every household every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a single large sheet posted on walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, a wall newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The project began as a way to consume trial paper produced by Delzen Paper, to test printing by Delzen Printing, and to check the editorial skills of Delzen Publishing’s staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is written is all related to Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, the section that takes up the most space is articles about Youko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Youko ate, which clothes Youko praised, things like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are also introductions to shops in Village Five, trends, incidents, and the results and impressions of sports like baseball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, and something that must not be forgotten is the advertisements placed along the sides and bottom of the wall newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wall newspaper is posted on bulletin boards set up throughout Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even if it is a wall newspaper, it still costs money to make.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To recover those costs, there are advertisements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Space is allocated according to the advertising fee, and ads are placed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first issue, the Goroun Company took up a large amount of space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since they were not used to advertising, it ended up being nothing more than the Goroun Company emblem printed in a big way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From our side, it was helpful as practice for printing illustrations, but they are paying a not-cheap advertising fee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want them to gain some benefit from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, thinking calmly about it, the audience that reads the wall newspaper does not really need advertising from the Goroun Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Goroun Company does some retail, but at its core it is a wholesale dealer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I advised them to withdraw from advertising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Michael-san sensed a big business opportunity in wall newspaper advertising and decided to continue, saying he would find a way to make use of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, I advised using the ads either to promote items individuals want to sell, or to raise the name recognition of the Goroun Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Goroun Company’s advertising space, illustrations of beautiful women and handsome men holding products were published, and they became very popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, Goroun Company wanted to use Village Five’s mascot, Five-kun, but I stopped that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing something original is more convenient and causes fewer problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world does not yet have concepts like copyright or portrait rights, but those things will inevitably come into being, and they must.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To make creative activity flourish, it begins with keeping those areas healthy and protecting creators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said all that in a rather self-important way, but I do not plan to spread those concepts myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am hoping for them to arise naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, I would like Delzen Printing and Delzen Publishing to do their best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I received a report from Eliza, who is acting as the representative for Delzen Paper and Delzen Printing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, someone came to Delzen Publishing wanting to buy a wall newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall newspaper belongs to Delzen Publishing, but since the planning of the wall newspaper was coordinated by Eliza, it was passed on to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It was someone who runs a shop in Village Five and wanted to display it inside their store」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we never decided on a price for individual sales, did we?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did you do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I gave it to them for free」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newspaper is practice for each business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it also serves as publicity for each business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than selling a single wall newspaper, giving it out has a much greater effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Yes. However, we cannot give it away for free every time」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if we set a careless price, won’t the newspapers on the bulletin boards get stolen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Those newspapers have the mark of Village Five on them. I do not think there would be a foolish person who would steal one, but……」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Goroun Company illustrations being popular, could that happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「……It could」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let us set a price that makes people think it is better to buy one than to steal it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there will be no reprints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Even if there are requests, it will be limited to the number printed at the start, correct?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall newspaper is published irregularly, but the staff involved are motivated, and the number of issues has already reached ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone asks for a specific past issue, we cannot respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Individual sales will be limited to surplus copies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, a little over one hundred copies are posted on bulletin boards throughout Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, copies are distributed to those who placed advertisements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So we have only printed around two hundred copies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no point in letting them sit unused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Understood. I will discuss the individual sale price and the initial print quantity with the staff」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff involved with the newspaper discussed it and decided to sell each wall newspaper for one medium copper coin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial print run would be five hundred copies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt a little high, but apparently many people had already said they wanted one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wall newspaper might soon change into something closer to the newspapers I know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It is currently published irregularly, but some of the staff involved have suggested that they would like to make it a daily publication someday」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eliza reported that to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, we are short on manpower right now, but once that problem is resolved, it might be fine to let it become independent as the Delzen Newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「The Delzen Newspaper? If possible, we would prefer something like the Big Tree Newspaper or the Village Five Newspaper」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the name Delzen becoming too prominent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「There is no need to promote the Delzen name」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Thank you. Also, the Prada Museum has proposed a project related to displaying the newspaper」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, I have heard about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They want to display the wall newspaper inside the Prada Museum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just the latest issue, but also past issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, they want to store all published issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have no problem with the display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for storage, given the content of the newspaper, I think it would be valuable as historical material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Then will you grant permission?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same proposal has also come from the Village Five library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It has not reached me」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It probably went from the library to the Village Five council, then to Youko, and finally to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I see」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should we do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should we adjust things so that all newspaper related matters are unified under Eliza going forward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I would appreciate that, but……Please have it come from the Village Five council, not Youko-sama」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let us do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Then where will you grant permission? Or will you deny it?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will grant it to both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having more display locations and multiple storage sites is a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, both have their own problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Problems?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the library has a space issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is fine for now, but in the future it will probably run out of room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially once publishing becomes more active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I see」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have secured warehouse space for the library at the foot of Village Five, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Then the Prada Museum would not have a space problem, right?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is true, but the issue there is that the person in charge of this project is Sharune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharune likes books, letters, and anything with written text, so she also likes the wall newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that sense, she is suitable, but……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She does not care about the content, and she is a bit rough when it comes to storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is fine with stacking books flat, and she does not mind letters getting crumpled in her pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they are going to be stored, I would like it done properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Ah……But I think it will be fine. Just because she is the person in charge does not mean Sharune-sama will handle everything herself」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, that is true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We will watch how things go for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will prepare a formal written permission and circulate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Thank you very much」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the arrival of the wall newspaper, the literacy rate of Village Five residents improved even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, illustrators became a popular profession, but… Delzen Publishing had already moved to secure talent in advance, so there was apparently no negative impact on publishing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…But is that really fine?\u003C\u002Fp>",1722,"2026-06-05T23:08:42.455Z",1,"novelbin.me","c3eecedb74184f9b64d56df9240c252e3d040977a53b48e2279bf690df8cf336","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-916","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-915",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
