Chapter 1

I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist

Author: Chi Meng Yu Ren

Introduction:

What would you like to do if you have a chance to start over?

After a failed life, he was reborn into a new world and became Hikigaya Hachiman, who chose the path he thought was the easiest.

"Why not just become a light novelist."

However, the nature of being a mediocre person is not so easy to change.

Life is full of crossroads, sometimes happy and sometimes sad.

Volume 1

1 Hikigaya wants to live a new life

The so-called rebirth is a good thing and a bad thing.

This means that you have a chance to start over and redeem your failed life.

But if you think that after rebirth, you can experience a smooth life, then you are wrong.

For mediocre mortals, it may just be another experience of failure and another taste of pain.

This is what Hachiman Hikigaya, now twelve years old, thinks.

Why does he think so?

Because he is a time traveler, reborn from another world to the world he is in now, and became the male protagonist of an animation called "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As Expected" in his memory, Hachiman Hikigaya.

He has spent twelve years in this world, living a life that is different from his previous life but very similar. If he continues along this path, he thinks that the rest of his life will still be miserable and pitiful.

If he can follow the plot in the animation, climb up the high branches of the Yukinoshita family, and eat soft rice, maybe this will be a good thing.

But, what kind of teacher are you?

Do you think that you can become the protagonist after reincarnation, and you can be loved by everyone like a succubus, and you can easily open a harem in this world?

No way? No way!

That's delusion.

At least he doesn't have such a golden finger.

If he could experience the following events like the Great Teacher, such as being given a friend card for failing to confess, imagining himself as an unknown god with unknown abilities during the second year of middle school, being called Hikigaya-kun, going to karaoke alone, being disliked and not allowed to hold hands when dancing in a group, being called Hikigaya-kun by the homeroom teacher...

Then on the first day of school, saving Miss Tuanzi's puppy and lying in the hospital for a while, maybe he would become a replica of the Great Teacher.

However, it's troublesome to think about it. He doesn't want to endure so much unnecessary pain, and what if he causes greater harm when saving the dog?

So, now Hikigaya Hachiman has decided to live a new life of his own.

Of course, if there is a gigolo, he may not refuse such an opportunity.

"So, what should I do?"

Looking at the full moon hanging in the sky like a silver plate, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but stretch out his right hand to touch it, muttering in his mouth.

It's a very abstract concept to say that you want to live your own life and don't want to fail again.

Well, if it can be a little more specific, it should be to be more dazzling?

Like the popular students in school, he has the confidence to boss people around?

That's probably not the case.

He is weak in interpersonal communication, both in terms of personality and appearance.

Then, he can only start from his career.

As a good-for-nothing otaku in his previous life, he can only think of achievements in otaku culture, which is also the culture prevalent in this country.

Among cartoonists, animation production and light novelists, he naturally chose the path of light novelist.

First of all, animation production requires a mature team and high costs, and the profit may not be much.

As for cartoonists, if it is a weekly magazine, it is too tiring, and the painting alone requires great painstaking efforts and refinement. Not everyone can shine in another way like Teacher One.

Only light novelist is the path that suits his heart the most. Not only is the time cost low, but the entry requirements are also much lower than the other two.

In addition, Hikigaya Hachiman thinks that he is good at language, so it should be easier to become a light novelist.

Without further ado, he took action after making up his mind.

If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools!

The first thing Hikigaya Hachiman thought of was to ask his parents for a laptop computer to write.

But this seemed too fantastical.

At home, he was not favored. For example, on his birthday, he either got a cake and no one celebrated, or only 10,000 yen.

On Komachi's birthday, they went out to eat together, got lucky money, gifts, and cake.

So if he wanted something like a laptop computer, he couldn't get it approved even if he wanted to use it as a birthday gift.

It would be even more impossible to express his thoughts directly.

"Ha, you said you want to be a light novelist? Stop dreaming! Study hard!"

"Hachiman, let's be down-to-earth. Let's talk about light novelists later."

It's not difficult to guess what the Hikigaya couple's attitude will be.

"There's really no other way..."

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed and took out the pocket money and New Year's money he had saved over the years from his gold coin piggy bank.

Fortunately, as a time traveler, relying on the wisdom of his previous life, he protected his New Year's money well and it was not taken away.

If he repeats the same mistake, then there will really be nothing.

"Hmm? It seems to be a little short."

He counted his savings and found that he still needed a little money to buy the laptop he wanted.

In addition, he couldn't use up all his pocket money, otherwise it would be a headache if he needed to spend money somewhere.

"That's right."

Suddenly, Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes lit up and he thought of another good idea.

Of course, he would ask his lovely sister for help!

2 Reliable sister

On the sofa, a girl was sitting, concentrating on watching the cartoon on TV.

The girl's hair just reached her shoulders, and her hair color was the same as his. Even the ahoge on her head was very similar, but her appearance was different from his ordinary appearance. She looked smart and cute, and her temperament was not gloomy. She was young and energetic.

It was her sister, Hikigaya Komachi.

"Komachi."

He called out.

"Hey, Onii-chan, why are you looking at me with dead eyes? Did Komachi make you angry?"

Komachi reacted, looked at his face, and said jokingly.

"I always look like a dead fish eye, have you forgotten? But you really look like you want to make me angry."

He pretended to be angry.

"Ah, sorry, Onii-chan, don't be angry! Komachi was just joking. Really, Onii-chan, don't have the same expression all day long, it's scary."

Komachi clapped her hands.

When she apologized, she also showed her cute little tiger teeth.

"I was just kidding."

As he spoke, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Right, Onii-chan looks pretty when she smiles!"

Komachi stood up, nodded with satisfaction, and patted his shoulder.

Hey, who is the elder?

Hikigaya Hachiman watched his sister retract her right hand, and then said with a serious face: "Komachi, I have a very important thing to ask you!"

"Did I hear it wrong? That lonesome knight Onii-chan actually asked me for help? Is this the first time Onii-chan asked me for help?"

Komachi looked shocked.

"Just say whether you agree or not."

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes condensed.

"Of course I will agree! As a younger sister, how could I refuse? No matter when, I am Onii-chan's last support..."

At this point, Komachi winked playfully as if she realized it afterward, and raised her hand gesture.

"Ah, I just said that very coolly."

How could this creature named Komachi be so cute? Did he grow up eating cuteness?

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Well, it's time to say it out loud. Is there anything I need to ask my reliable sister for help?"

Komachi put her hands behind her back, raised her head, and smiled.

"Well, actually, I want to borrow some money from you."

"So it's just such a small matter. Tell me, how much do you want Komachi to lend you?"

"About 50,000 yen."

"Huh, how much?"

"About 50,000."

"Wait, Komachi can afford so much money, but it's a bit strange to borrow so much at once, isn't it? Onii-chan has always been very frugal, right? Could it be that he owed a lot of money outside and found that he couldn't pay it back, and he couldn't tell his parents, so he had to ask his sister for help..."

The sister's clear eyes were looking at him suspiciously.

"Don't ask so many questions."

Hikigaya Hachiman was still a little shy in his heart, and didn't answer directly.

"No, no! If we don't figure it out, what if Komachi becomes an accomplice? Unless Onii-chan tells me that this is to buy pornographic books or something."

The younger sister shook her head and rejected this statement.

"Wait, Komachi, what are you talking about!"

Hikigaya Hachiman raised his hand to interrupt.

"What's shocking, Onii-chan is already this age!"

The younger sister had a look of "you know what I mean".

"You know that's not what I'm talking about... Forget it, it doesn't matter if I tell you, I'm actually planning to buy a laptop."

He sighed.

"Huh?"

Komachi's eyes became sharper, motioning for him to continue.
