Chapter 32
"Thank you so much, senior, for giving me the meaning of life."
Suddenly, Karina's expression returned to normal, and she looked up, her eyes full of hope.
"The meaning of life is never given by others, but found by oneself."
Hikigaya Hachiman just shook his head.
"Then I have found this meaning."
Karaina smiled slightly, without thinking, and was also waiting for the next question.
Hikigaya Hachiman just remained silent and did not answer.
Karina pouted and turned her head away.
"Okay, I'm going back."
Hikigaya Hachiman stood up.
Karina wanted to reach out to keep him, but found that she didn't know what to say, and stretched her right hand back.
Watching the other person's back disappear at the street entrance, she slowly stood up and walked in the opposite direction.
She did not go home for the time being, but walked aimlessly on the street.
Suddenly, her eyes stopped at a bookstore.
"By the way, Senior is a light novelist. Are there any light novels written by Senior here?"
Ker Nayuta's eyes lit up and she walked into the bookstore.
She remembered the previous conversation and locked her eyes on the pile of books at the door. There were the latest hot-selling new products, among which "Summer Returns" was on the list.
Immediately, she reached out to grab it, but then she thought that she didn't have much money on her, and the child support was limited, otherwise she wouldn't have lost her mobile phone.
With great perseverance, Kar Nayuta stretched out her right hand and walked out of the bookstore.
At present, she had to find a way to make money first.
Soon, Kar Nayuta thought of a good idea.
Recently, there was a campus essay contest. If she got a ranking, she could get a high enough reward. In fact, she was confident in literature. Although her school grades were not ranked high, it was because she was very biased. Her grades in literature were all full marks!
But she has always been a little introverted and didn't dare to participate in such activities before, but this time she decided to take this step bravely.
After all, she has found the meaning of her future life.
...
"If there is a suitable opportunity, mention it to her."
On the way home, Hikigaya Hachiman thought of the girl's amazing talent and thought in his heart.
In terms of writing, Karina Yuta's talent is not inferior to Senjumura Masaru. If his intervention leads to the other party going astray and achieving nothing, he will feel very sorry.
In addition, in order to satisfy his curiosity, he also wants to see what kind of light novel Karina Yuta will write, and what kind of insights it will bring to him.
Because he is also a reader who craves good works!
That night, the editor contacted him.
"What a big fuss, Tsukiro-sensei. Besides, many people are saying that you are very cool for your fans. Well, I think it is very cool too. If I were the girl being protected, I would probably like Tsukiro-sensei immediately."
Machida Sonoko said with a smile.
"Ms. Sonoko, please stop teasing me. This is just my self-satisfaction, not a hymn of courage. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so big."
Hikigaya Hachiman was embarrassed by what he said.
"This also shows that this kind of thing has become commonplace... Well, forget it, let's not discuss this. Let's talk about the consequences of this incident. You are a little too arbitrary."
Machida Sonoko stopped in time and changed the subject.
"Will there be any punishment?"
Hikigaya Hachiman was a little lacking in confidence.
"That's not the case. You didn't name anyone, so it can't be considered cyberbullying. What's more, this is something that has aroused public anger. But if you want to do something similar in the future, please notify me first. You are a public figure after all, so you should be more measured in your words."
Machida Yuanzi explained.
"Well, I know. I was impulsive."
He understood that this was the editor's responsibility, so he was sincere.
"Okay, say something good!"
Machida Yuanzi suddenly became cheerful.
"Although everyone is more concerned about social issues, many people don't know about the cause, but at least some people in the circle still paid attention to it, which can be regarded as a diversion. The sales volume increased by 50,000 in one go, and there is no end in sight. Recently, the first few volumes have been reprinted again."
"This is indeed good news."
There was a hint of joy in his tone.
"However, Mr. Yuese, don't get stuck on this matter. The most important thing about writing a novel is the work itself."
Finally, Machida Yuanzi also kindly reminded.
"Yes, I understand, Ms. Sonoko."
Hikigaya Hachiman also knew that such an improvement could not be actively pursued, otherwise he would only become a clown and be lost in the crowd.
In today's society, hot topics come and go quickly.
Just when most people have forgotten that there is such a person as him, the readers and fans are in high spirits and even more enthusiastic, because the fifth volume of "Summer Reappearance" that they are looking forward to will be released tomorrow!
51 Volume 5
In the morning, Yamada Fairy slept until dawn, and after eating a simple breakfast, she sat on the sofa and prepared to take out the game console.
Suddenly, she thought of something and glanced at the calendar on her mobile phone again.
"Yes, today is the day when the fifth volume of "Summer Reappearance" is sold. If you don't hurry up, it may be sold out."
In her own home, she naturally did not hide her love for this work.
Yamada Fairy hurriedly put on her Lolita clothes, put on white pantyhose, put her feet into leather shoes, and trotted out of her villa.
After a while, when she bought the novel and came home, she suddenly glanced at the door.
Not far away, a red-haired girl with drooping eyes and a fierce look was standing there. She was slightly taller than her and had very short twin ponytails.
"Elmi, why are you here?"
Yamada Fairy looked puzzled.
Elmi, whose real name is Amelia Elmeria, is her childhood sweetheart and a beautiful girl illustrator who draws illustrations for "The Dark Fairy of Explosion". Because of her versatility and fast work speed, she is called the "all-round illustrator".
"Emily, don't you welcome me?"
Elmi put one hand on her waist and behaved like a boy.
"Of course I came to see you because you stay at home all day and don't go out. I'm afraid you will become a dead fat otaku, so I want to take you out for a walk."
Elmi said straight to the point.
"Eh?"
Yamada Fairy looked down at the light novel in her hand, hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course, I can, but you have to wait until I finish reading the novel."
"I see, you went out early in the morning just to buy a novel?"
Elmi's eyes were on her hand.
The two entered the living room.
"In my impression, Emily seems to be rarely interested in other people's works, right? You prefer playing games to reading. So, this light novel is very interesting?"
Elmi asked curiously.
"Yeah, it's okay, although not as good as mine."
Yamada Fairy's eyes stayed on the book cover, and she kept her last stubbornness verbally.
"Hehe."
Elmi couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
Seeing the other party's impatient look, Elmi also became interested in this novel called "Summer Returns".
Although in her eyes, there are no boring books in the world, there are only 'interesting books' and 'more interesting books'.
"Emily, where did you put the first few volumes of this novel?"
"It's on the bookshelf, you can find it yourself."
Coming to the room inside, Elmi found the first volume of "Summer Returns" and sat on the edge of the bed to start reading.
The beginning of "Summer Returns" is not slow, it hits the reader's heart with a fast rhythm right from the start, and easily wins her favor.
Continuing to read, the interesting settings soon made her addicted, and she had finished the first volume in a trance.
"What a great story! It's well written! No wonder Emily likes it so much..."
Elmi clapped her hands and praised, closing her eyes, still savoring the feeling.
"By the way, who drew this illustration, I always feel a little familiar... Hmm? Eromanga teacher!? How could it be the master's name?"
She turned to the place where the illustration was signed, and her expression was dull.
"Ah!!"
Outside the door, a scream suddenly came, diverting her attention.
…
Just after responding, Yamada Fairy was completely immersed in the world of the novel, and what was waiting for her there was…
Through Shadow Tide's ability, Shadow Mio also escaped from the control of Bodao, and told everyone part of Shadow's information, so that Wangdai Shinpei could better understand the current battle situation.
At this time, a new question arose.
What is Bodao's purpose?
Resurrection?
If it is just for resurrection, it seems that there are many things that cannot be said.
They can only learn this information through the diamond doctor who has close contact with Shadow.
The narrative is slightly flat, interspersed with a part of the love route plot, and Shadow Mio's straightforwardness and boldness make the scene full of a happy atmosphere.
"Can this guy also write such entanglements? Suspicious."
Yamada Fairy saw this plot and let out a light exclamation.
After some entanglements, Wangdai Shenping and others finally learned the real purpose of Bodao, which was to take her chosen family members to her distant hometown after her resurrection. At the same time, the true identity of the four-handed shadow also surfaced. It turned out that the other party was the guardian of Bodao and the first child born to Bodao-Rhombus Paper Chuiyan.
Through various analyses, Shinpei also determined the other party's true identity in this era, the chief priest of the shrine - Ganqiri Masato!
The things that happened in the past were spread out in front of him with the deduction and the narration of the diamond doctor.
"It's disgusting. No wonder I have lived as a human for so long, but I let Bo Dao copy my personality and memory and transplant them into the clone..."
Yamada Fairy showed a disgusted expression.
"Hurry up and get rid of this guy!"
Just as she verbally urged and turned the page, the following plot took another 180-degree turn.
Although Shinpei did not shoot and kill the other party directly, Shadow Chao still shot and easily killed the diamond-shaped paper dangling in front of him.
However, a wise man will make mistakes, and Shinpei finally overlooked a point.
Although there are no other shadows around, there is another clone hiding.
The diamond-shaped paper dangling who appeared again behind him successfully attacked and slashed at Shadow Chao with a knife.
With despair and regret, Wangdai Shinping was stabbed through by a knife and stuck in a tree.
The cycle of reincarnation started again, but the girl who was walking side by side with him had disappeared without a trace.
"Ah!!"
Wangdai Shinping paid a heavy price for his mistake at this moment and burst into tears.
