Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Didn’t the goddamn old thief Kanbaru perform the surgery at a later stage?

Hearing that the manuscript was from the old thief Kanbaru, an editor across from Toyama swallowed lightly. He looked at the editor-in-chief Kagurazaka's scalp and said, "You just went out for one morning and he submitted the manuscript?"

Although they accepted the character design of the old thief Kambara's "quick pen cheat" when the second volume of "Four Lies" was handed in, he finished the first draft as soon as he submitted the new book project?

Moreover, it only took a week or two for his last novel to be serialized in Web Library. He actually completed the first draft while completing the new book planning. Isn't this too fast?

Moreover, is he so confident that his new book project will be approved?

Everyone suddenly felt a little numb.

Kagurazaka had already guessed their reaction. She shook her head slightly and said helplessly: "It's nothing. What's even more terrifying is that the setting of his new book this time is soft science fiction. We will review it later. Be careful and try to help him mark the obvious loopholes. "

"Is it still a science fiction theme?" Everyone else's eyes darkened when they heard this.

There is naturally a gap between subject matter and subject matter.

Science fiction themes are often more difficult. If there are obvious omissions in the setting, it will seriously affect the reader's sense of immersion in the novel.

But the sci-fi light novel that Kanbara had written so quickly almost made them lose hope in the first draft.

Although no one doubts Kanbara Yushin's terrifying writing power, every author has his own creative comfort zone.

Both "Four Lies" and "Firefly" have some "science fiction" elements to a certain extent. This kind of love is originally a science fiction film, but it is indeed two different things from a real science fiction light novel.

And he didn’t think that the old thief Kanbara, who had always focused on depicting emotions, could write such a hard-core light novel well, let alone write it in only a week or two?

"I've tried to persuade him, but he really doesn't listen." Kagurazaka looked helpless. "Come on, everyone. I'll treat everyone to sukiyaki after get off work. Barbecue is also fine!"

Then, she asked the clerk to distribute the printed manuscript of the novel to the team members.

An old team member looked at the manuscript on the table, shook his head and said with a smile, "For the sake of delicious food, everyone, come on!"

But many team members remained silent because the market for this book, The Old Thief of Kanbaru, was relatively small, it had a tear-jerking theme, it had a soft science fiction background that had never been challenged before, and it took a week or two to complete the creation.

It makes people unable to rest assured, unable to expect, and even more unbelievable!

"I hope it doesn't go too far..."

Although this scene seemed familiar, they still couldn't help but sigh and silently opened the manuscript.

Editor-in-Chief Kagurazaka also joined in the reading. She looked at the cover of the manuscript and couldn't help but feel nervous for Nanabahara Yu.

Judging from the project plan, if the writing skills and details are sufficient, it is basically certain that the sales volume will start at one million copies.

If the plot structure, foreshadowing and other details are properly arranged, maybe there will be a chance to rival "Four Lies".

Everyone returned to their jobs, and the clerk quickly cleaned up the trash. After a while, the huge office became quiet, with only the sound of turning pages of paper remaining.

"Plastic Memory, is this the name of the novel?"

"Mizusaki Tsukasa, a boy who failed the college entrance examination, joined the world's largest company SAI through his parents' relationship. He partnered with the artificial psychic robot girl "Ella" who works as a handyman, and together they started the work of recycling robots."

As the editorial team of Dengeki Bunko, they are not unfamiliar with this type of science fiction setting.

"Artificial psychic robot? Lifespan is only nine years and four months? Clear memory?"

"The setting is quite interesting..."

On his first day at work, Si discovered that the beautiful figure he had glimpsed in the elevator was actually the psychic robot heroine Ella.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that the male and female protagonists should have a CP line. Everyone thought that the lifespan of the psychic robot is only one-tenth of that of humans, and their faces changed.

With the old thief Kanbaru's urine, there must be a knife here, but they thought that the point where the knife is usually issued is in the later stage, and they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, there should be no knife in the early stage, so it's not a big problem to immerse yourself in admiring it.

Because the old thief's writing skills were as stable as ever, everyone's thoughts were gradually brought to the book.

...

in the text.

Si, who had just joined the job, was led by his immediate boss Xiangyue to carry out his first mission.

Together they came to the home of an old couple, and the robot they wanted to recycle this time played the role of a child in the family.

Watching the robot that was like their son being sent away, the old couple leaning against each other had tears streaming down their eyes and stood silently in the corner watching everything.

As a blue light lit up on the mind robot recovery device, their nearly ten years of getting along and their memories disappeared in an instant with a simple action from the SAI staff.

Si Momo looked at the unconscious robot man in his eyes, and then at the old couple in tears. Not only did he feel that his work was a bit cruel...

...

Outside the book.

Everyone sat quietly, frowning.

"How sad the old couple must be that the memories of the nearly ten years of being together with a spiritual robot like their own son have disappeared like smoke."

But they have been through many battles, so it is not that sad.

Their eyes returned to the main text.

Soon it was Si's second mission, which would be carried out by him and his partner Ella.

But this time they obviously encountered obstacles. The bad-tempered old lady did not seem to want Si to take back her granddaughter Nina, and directly rejected them. After being rejected again and again, the clumsy Ella chose to climb over the wall on the side...

"With the old lady's vicious attitude, Ella will be in danger..."

"Will Ella be in trouble?"

They thought in their hearts while flipping through the manuscript.

Soon, Ella, who climbed over the wall, was discovered by the psychic robot granddaughter Nina, who protected Ella and helped her clean the dirt off her body.

As the story progressed, everyone found that the old lady did not seem to be so vicious. She just wanted to protect her granddaughter.

But after hearing the conversation between Nina and Ella, the old lady finally knew that Nina "wanted to say goodbye to her grandmother with a smile and did not want to hurt others."

The old woman realized that she had not considered Nina by doing this. Even if Nina would not hurt her grandmother after she went berserk, she would cause trouble to others, which was something the gentle Nina did not want to see.

The old woman's eyes twitched slightly, and she finally decided to stop making trouble. She fell silent helplessly and came to Si to tell him that she agreed to the recycling plan.

The four of them drank a cup of tea at the table as a final farewell ceremony.

Before Nina was taken away, she continued to patiently instruct her grandmother.

"Grandma, you must dry your hair after taking a bath."

"Yes."

"The medicine you usually take is in the second drawer under the kitchen..." Nina's tears rolled in her eyes.

"Yes."

"The flowers in the yard... can't be watered too much... once a day is enough." Nina pursed her lips, and her intermittent words were mixed with tears.

"Yeah."

"Hurry up and make peace with Mr. Suzuki's wife next door..." Nina burst into tears suddenly, tears flowing down her cheeks, her body shaking violently, her facial expression distorted because of excessive sadness, "And, and..."

For grandma, she still has a lot of things to worry about...

......

"Nina!" The old lady's eyes were slightly moist, she took Nina's little hand and gave her a smile, "Nina, you don't have to worry."

Nina was startled, and then reacted.

"Yeah..." Nina's eyes were swollen like peaches, she quickly wiped away her tears with her hands, trying to smile and leave the last happy memory for grandma, but the more she wiped away her tears, the more she wiped away, the more she wiped away, "Then grandma, bye..."

There are still many things that I don't have time to say, and many things I don't want to forget, but it's a pity that separation is the norm in life...

Si watched everything from the side, feeling lost and empty in his heart.

————

But it was Nina's plain exhortation and the last calm "goodbye" that were like a key, turning on the switch of tears stored in every editor.

"God damn old thief Kanhara..."

"You said you would do the surgery in the later stage, you don't want to pretend, right?"

"Wow, where's my tissue, save it quickly..."

"......"

In the first task, everyone didn't feel particularly sad, but when it came to the second task, most of the female editors and some more emotional male editors had tears in their eyes for some reason.

Kanhara's words were very touching, but they also made him look very cruel. Nina's last farewell exhortation flowed through everyone's heart and mind.

Suddenly, the editor's office was filled with tears, and sadness was everywhere.
