Chapter 18
Yamada Fairy was also used to his attitude, and snorted: "It just so happens that I have time to exchange writing experience with you today. If I type, it would be too tiring, so thank me! It's rare to have such an opportunity in life to chat face to face with a beautiful girl like me."
That's not the case.
Hikigaya Hachiman refuted in his heart.
The illustrator Eromanga who often chats with him via video is also a beautiful girl.
But saying this makes him feel inexplicably showing off, so he chose to default.
The two began to discuss the problem just like the previous text chat, without any alienation or estrangement, as if they were familiar with each other.
It's not right to say that, they are very familiar.
"Hikigaya, how do you think I should deal with this plot?"
Yamada Fairy explained to him a difficult problem she encountered.
To put it simply, it is a Shura Theater, where the first and second female characters have a conflict, which is also a popular plot in harem works.
As someone who had read all the works of otaku culture in his previous life, although Hikigaya Hachiman's own abilities were not very strong, his theories were not bad, and he had seen many ways to deal with this situation, so he quickly gave his answer.
"Hikigaya, your opinion is very important to me. Now I feel that it was not a bad thing to agree to make progress with you."
After listening to his analysis, Yamada Fairy accepted his opinion and praised him.
"By the way, I read the second volume of your "Summer Reappearance" and found that you have made a lot of progress. You guys don't have the B-level skill "Diligence can make up for shortcomings"?"
"What kind of skill is this! It's completely meaningless!"
Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but complain.
"By the way, speaking of your "Summer Reappearance", some places are too obscure to understand..."
Yamada Fairy suddenly looked vague and said vaguely, "Well, it's not that I don't understand enough, but I think it's more appropriate for you, the author, to tell it."
This sentence made Hikigaya Hachiman understand.
Miss Yamada actually made this dumpling for this dish of vinegar, and the previous topics were just excuses.
"Go ahead, Miss Yamada, if you don't understand anything, I can explain it to you."
Hikigaya Hachiman didn't respond to her, just said so.
"Probably..."
Yamada Fairy couldn't wait to ask the questions that he didn't understand while reading.
These questions were more numerous and shallower than he thought.
In fact, it's not surprising. Miss Yamada has only graduated from elementary school for a year, and her creations are simple and straightforward. Naturally, she finds it difficult to understand this kind of subject matter.
Hikigaya Hachiman was surprised that he could be fascinated under such circumstances.
It can only be said that some excellent stories, even if the understanding is shallow, will have a considerable degree of charm.
Although Miss Yamada always has that rebellious attitude, she is surprisingly well-behaved when listening to him at this time.
Liking "Summer Returns" means supporting him, which is roughly equivalent to being a fan.
Realizing this, Hachiman Hikigaya also tried his best to tell her the whole story without spoilers. This made Yamada Fairy feel refreshed and realized more charm of "Summer Return".
"I will sort it out next."
Yamada Fairy covered her head and interrupted the video call.
The girl prepared to read it carefully again.
Within a few days, Yamada Fairy suddenly sent another message.
The frequency was surprising.
"Are you going to ask about the novel again?"
Hikigaya Hachiman guessed in his heart, but the message from Miss Yamada really surprised him.
Elementary School Fairy: Hey, hey, are you there, Hikigaya?
Me: What's wrong again.
Elementary School Fairy: Have you heard! Recently, a super powerful newcomer appeared in your Fuzugawa Library! Compared with her, you are completely a weak chicken.
Me: Why are you comparing me? ? ?
Me: I have been busy writing novels recently and don't care about these things, but is it really that powerful? You look so shocked.
Elementary School Fairy: This is not a matter of whether it is amazing or not. I just went to the website of the Fuzugawa Bunko and saw that it has been announced. She sold more than 30,000 copies in the first week!
"Huh?"
Hikigaya Hachiman was shocked and almost thought he had seen it wrong.
If it was one of those super popular works, it would be fine, but if it was really a complete newcomer, it would be beyond imagination!
It was enough to shock him!

"Could that person be...?"
Hikigaya Hachiman inexplicably thought of a person's name.
He quickly opened the webpage and found that Miss Yamada was talking about the person he had expected in his heart - Senjumura Masaru.
Since the Yamada Fairy exists in this world, it is reasonable for the other party to appear. In fact, it appears later than he expected.
In my memory, the other party's debut time should be about the same as Ms. Yamada. Could it be the influence of some butterfly effect?
After confirming this, Hikigaya Hachiman continued to chat with Ms. Yamada.
Me: I have seen this news. It is really amazing. Such sales should be a unique case for newcomers, right?
Elementary School Fairy: To be able to surpass me, this newcomer is really good! But that is because I don't care about this kind of thing, otherwise I can also create a new record!
Seeing this reply, Hikigaya Hachiman felt a little funny.
Me: That's enough, Ms. Yamada, there is a limit to bragging.
Yamada Fairy: What do you know? My goal is to become a super light novelist who surpasses those comics in sales! Such a record is nothing at all. Well, after all, I have no chance to prove it, so you can ridicule me as you like.
According to Hikigaya Hachiman's understanding of Miss Yamada, she was actually serious about what she said, although it did seem like a foolish dream.
But for people with such dreams, we should also give them some respect.
If you can think of things that ordinary people dare not think of, you are either a madman or a true genius.
After the conversation, Hikigaya Hachiman wanted to get back into writing, but found that his heart could not calm down at all.
Because his mind was completely focused on other things.
Senjumura Masahiro has achieved incredible achievements. Although Miss Yamada verbally disagrees, she must attach the same importance to it as he does.
Even if the future is still uncertain, at least the quality of this opening has surpassed everyone in the current industry. What kind of work will a person with such talent create?
Not to mention readers, even authors like him can't help but be curious, right?
That night, Hikigaya Hachiman was a little insomniac and did not write anymore, but waited for tomorrow to come.
The next day, after breakfast.
Hikigaya Hachiman went to a nearby bookstore and found out that the work had been sold out. The owner was ordering more copies and it would take time.
He had no choice but to go to a bigger bookstore to buy it. He finally caught up with a new batch of goods and bought the work called "Fantasy Demon Sword Legend".
Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't wait to turn the pages and read, so he found a bench in a small roadside garden and sat down.
"Fantasy Demon Sword Legend" is a campus supernatural battle novel, which belongs to the type of fictional world, and is not much different from the other world, so first of all, its audience has a foundation for explosion.
But it's just the foundation, the most important thing is the quality of the work itself!
Hikigaya Hachiman didn't read it for long before he was addicted to the story.
The setting of this light novel is not particularly attractive. The setting is probably that of a knife user. For example, there is a profession called swordsman in this world, and they control weapons called demon swords...
It gave him a sense of déjà vu of "The Heroic Tale of the Failed Knight", "Asterisk: Battle of the City" and "Sword User Miko".
The focus is still on the story itself. Senjumura uses extraordinary writing and in-depth battle descriptions, as if you are really in this world.
This immersive feeling makes it difficult to extricate yourself.
The genre of novels itself has a considerable disadvantage compared to comics, and it is even worse than animation.
But the effect achieved by Senjumura's creation is not inferior to animation in terms of immersion.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Hikigaya Hachiman really couldn't imagine that there would be someone in the world who could reach such a level.
The genius of this world is too terrifying.
With such writing skills, perhaps I can't even look up to it if I pursue it all my life!
"Ah..."
After a long time, a sigh came faintly from the small garden covered with green grass.
"Ms. Yamada can write such a work? I don't believe it even if I die!"
After returning home, he lay down on the sofa after entering the door, feeling inexplicably tired.
It seems that the consequences of staying up late have come to me.
I slept until noon.
Feeling a conversation in his ears, Hikigaya Hachiman slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his eye sockets a little confused, and then he found the sound coming from the TV.
"Ah, Onii-chan, you finally woke up. If it doesn't work again, you can't have lunch with Komachi."
Komachi half-knelt beside the sofa and put her little face close to him. Her lively smile healed people's hearts.
"That's really a big loss."
He grinned, and used both hands to prop up his body.
"Hey, Onii-chan, did you hold a light novel in your hand when you slept?"
Komachi stood aside, glanced, and noticed what he was holding.
Hikigaya Hachiman was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he fell asleep in a daze while holding a book.
"Yes, the light novel I just bought today."
He spoke.
"Is Fantasy Demon Sword Legend... good?"
Komachi asked with her head tilted after seeing the name of the light novel.
"Of course it's good. If we only talk about the writing, I may never catch up with the other party."
He looked down and smiled.
If we talk about the plot, then the result is naturally different. There are too many outstanding works in the past life.
"Onii-chan, you are too self-deprecating! Isn't Onii-chan's novel selling well? And Onii-chan is still young and can write better works."
Komachi pouted and didn't care, just thinking that it was her brother's modesty.
But this did arouse her interest in this work.
"You will know after you read it... Let's eat first, and then you can read it after dinner."
Hikigaya Hachiman was about to hand over "Fantasy Demon Sword Legend", but when he thought that it was time for lunch, he put his hand back.
Because he knew that once his sister read it, she would inevitably be addicted and would go hungry if she didn't pay attention.
Komachi listened to him and started reading this work that made her brother feel inferior after lunch.
You won’t know until you read it. You will be shocked.
Komachi thought her brother was being modest, but after reading it, she realized that her brother was serious.
What kind of person can write such a light novel?
