Chapter 6

"I didn't buy it. It was a light novel given to me by a friend I met online. She just debuted yesterday, so she gave me a few copies..."

Hikigaya Hachiman answered while opening the box, which contained several copies of the first volume of "The Exploding Dark Fairy".

"What type of light novel is this?"

Komachi picked up one like a curious baby and looked at its exquisite cover.

"Uh."

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know where to start for a moment.

"I can only say that it's not suitable for you to read."

He saw that his sister looked like she wanted to read it, so he had to speak out.

"Ah, is it that kind of novel? Onii-chan, you actually know someone like that, won't Onii-chan learn bad things from you!"

With a shake of his hands, the novel fell to the ground, and Komachi put on an expression of worry for him.

"It's not that kind. I've already said that she's officially debuted, so her work has been censored. There's no inappropriate content, it's just a little bit high. In addition, the quality of the work does not mean that the author himself will be like that. If you can meet him, you will be very shocked."

After saying that, Hikigaya Hachiman picked up the light novel that fell and put it back into the box.

Of course, he didn't intend to let Komachi come into contact with such a style of work, so as not to pollute his sister's pure and innocent heart.

If there is a chance, you can keep one copy, and give the other few copies to some otaku culture enthusiasts in the class. Maybe there will be a chance to make Miss Yamada have a few more fans. This is the only reward he can do now.

"Anyway... Onii-chan finally made friends. I thought Onii-chan would be a lonely knight for the rest of her life!"

Looking at his back as he went back to the room, Komachi rubbed her eyes with great emotion, and tears seemed to fall there.

Summer vacation is over, the day of school is here, and the empty classroom is once again filled with students.

Everyone hadn't seen each other for a while, so they couldn't help but whisper to each other and get emotional.

As a passerby in the class, Hachiman Hikigaya would naturally have corresponding passersby greet him.

"Hey, Hikigaya, what did you do during the summer vacation?"

The person in front of him turned around and started talking.

"Me? I just stayed at home and did nothing."

He thought for a while and said.

"I knew you were too inactive! Let me tell you, I went back to my hometown this summer vacation, and I tried fishing for the first time. Wow, it was more interesting than I thought, but it's a pity that I didn't catch any big fish. Ah, I really hope this summer vacation can be longer..."

The person in front of him suddenly started talking nonstop.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him turned into a fisherman.

In addition to the news that surprised Hachiman Hikigaya, he didn't listen carefully to the rest, but observed the others.

Although the class is not big, with more than 40 people, they are all different. Some have changed their image and are ready to improve their presence in the class in the new semester, while others seek recognition and actively participate in discussions...

But Hikigaya Hachiman is different. At this moment, his mind is full of light novels. Listening to the voices filling his ears, he finally understood a sentence-

"People's sorrows and joys are not the same. I just think they are noisy."

I feel that my thinking level has been raised to a higher level.

But it's useless. Reality is not a light novel. It's not that you can improve your character level by enlightenment once.

While complaining in his heart, he suddenly laughed.

"Hikigaya, hey, did you hear what I said? Why did you suddenly laugh?"

The student in front of him felt puzzled.

"Nothing, just thinking of something happy. Go on, I'm listening."

Hikigaya Hachiman stretched out his hand to signal the other party to continue.

Although the student in front of him was a little surprised, he continued to talk because of his chatterbox personality.

The first day of school ended in a somewhat tired but passionate atmosphere, and the days that followed gradually returned to normal.

If it were the past, Hikigaya Hachiman would only feel that he was wasting his life, but now he feels that the repetitive and dull daily routine of this day is meaningful, because he has a direction to look forward to, and he is working hard to become a formally debuted light novelist.

In order to improve himself, he has to read every day, even if it is not his favorite work, and he even feels no interest.

If he has a data-based panel to clearly list his abilities, perhaps he can clearly see that the experience value of his writing ability is constantly improving!

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

If he thinks that he can sit back and relax and slack off, then his future is doomed to end in failure.

This is also the experience gained in the previous life.

Let alone whether he can debut, even if he debuts, it is just a new starting point. There are not a few light novels that have been cut off after just two or three volumes have been sold, so the fundamental factor that determines whether it can go smoothly is the quality of the work, that is, the strength of the author.

Fools don't work hard, lazy people hope to reach the peak.

Hikigaya Hachiman believes that every drop of sweat and every effort he spends at this time is valuable and will bring him enough rewards in the future.

If you can't get anything after hard work, then you can complain to others about your luck!

11 Video chat

Yamada Fairy: Hey, I guess you have already worshipped my debut work "The Dark Fairy of Explosion", right? You have seen the gap between you and me, right?

Me: It's better to save your breath. I'm embarrassed to say what you wrote. There are too many mistakes in your writing style! However, this problem is not serious. After all, you are just an elementary school student. It's understandable, but what kind of classic plots are in the plots? Going to the river to swim and seeing the elf beauty naked posture, don't you feel embarrassed? And the first volume has three scenes of the heroine being naked... In addition, there are many vulgar plots of selling meat. If you don't know, you might think you are a disgusting fat otaku!

Yamada Fairy: ? ? ? ? I admit that some plots are indeed vulgar, but isn't that what everyone wants to see? ? This is called accurate positioning of the reader group, and the writing style, simple words, as long as the meaning is expressed, it is enough, this is the realm of returning to nature! Also, do not slander the sacred nudity!

Me: I understand, nudity is Miss Yamada's XP, right?

Yamada Fairy: You just need to understand! Also, you are too shallow to stick to the writing style of light novels, Hikigaya! Writing this type of novel does not mean that I am that kind of weird person, as long as you have seen me in person.

Yamada Fairy: Wait, you guys are not asking for my information!

Me: Didn't you say it yourself?

Yamada Fairy: Humph, even if you tell you it doesn't matter, I am very cute!

Me: Yes, yes, cute Miss Yamada.

Hikigaya Hachiman habitually responded perfunctorily, who knew that Miss Yamada seemed to have misunderstood his meaning and sent a video invitation the next moment.

"Beep..."

Should I answer the call or reject it?

It seemed that there was nothing to consider, but when I thought that this seemed to be the first time in my life, I was inexplicably moved.

He clicked to accept the video invitation.

On the screen in his hand, a cute and childish face soon appeared, with golden hair and long and pointed ears like an elf, like a fairy from a fantasy world, but her expression at the moment was a little resentful and arrogant, breaking this beauty.

Hikigaya looked a little dazed.

"Hehe, Hikigaya, are you intoxicated by my beauty?"

Yamada Fairy saw his appearance and suddenly laughed.

"Ahem."

Hikigaya Hachiman coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Miss Yamada is indeed quite cute, there is no way to deny this, but I was not provoking you just now."

He felt that he needed to explain.

"I don't care about your thoughts, I just want to prove how wrong your thoughts are."

Yamada Fairy said proudly.

"By the way, I also want to confirm whether you, Hikigaya, were lying before."

She moved closer to the screen of her mobile phone and examined his appearance.

"Well, although he looks ordinary, mature, and has a pair of dead fish eyes, he does not look much older than me."

"Ms. Yamada, you actually opened the video to belittle me, right? Can you take care of my self-esteem a little?"

Hikigaya Hachiman pretended to be dissatisfied.

"Are you so fragile? I don't believe it."

Yamada Fairy showed a contemptuous expression.

The two often exchanged writing experiences together, and she naturally had some understanding of Hikigaya's temper. It was not an exaggeration to call him a 'friend'.

"Okay, my purpose has been achieved, and there is no point in chatting anymore."

Yamada Fairy lifted the golden curly hair beside her ear.

"Are you going to the dungeon again?"

He guessed it.

"Yeah."

Yamada Fairy answered while reaching out to click to close, and suddenly remembered something and stopped her finger.

"Hey, Hikigaya, do you want to play games together?"

Miss Yamada suddenly invited.

"I don't have time. I'm busy with school and writing novels."

He declined politely.

"Do you understand the combination of work and rest, idiot? Only articles written when you are energetic will be interesting."

Clenching her fists, Yamada Fairy gritted her teeth and said.

"This is a matter of opinion. In addition, Miss Yamada just wants to find a tool person to deliver materials, right? I heard you say before that the game is very liver-intensive and it is troublesome to collect materials."

Hikigaya Hachiman thought he saw this very clearly.

"You can see all this! Humph, since you don't want to, forget it."

Yamada Fairy made a face and stuck out her tongue.

Then she closed the video.

The article was born naturally, and the master's hand got it by chance.

Although Hikigaya Hachiman thinks that Miss Yamada is a hedonist, it must be said that some of her views are indeed insightful.

However, he does not have the room to be as relaxed as the other party now.

Moreover, although Miss Yamada said so herself, she was not in high spirits when she was rushing to finish her manuscript, but when she was close to the deadline.

Time passed by like flowing water, and it was December in a blink of an eye.

"Hikigaya, the second volume of "The Dark Fairy of Explosion" will be released this weekend. Let's go buy it together?"

"No, you go by yourself."

"Hey, how could this happen..."

"I have something important that day."

"I, know."

Next to the desk, a thin classmate looked regretful.

Previously, Hikigaya Hachiman secretly gave "The Dark Fairy of Explosion" to two otaku culture enthusiasts in the class, which immediately attracted their love.

From his perspective, Miss Yamada's debut work can be completely classified as toilet paper in another world, and there is nothing good to see.

But for other otakus of this age, it is indeed quite tempting.

Everyone knows about puberty.

He preached out of friendship, but he didn't have the time to queue up in the bookstore to buy the second volume, so he decisively refused.

After casually dealing with the interpersonal relationships in school, as a member of the homecoming club, he urgently chose to return home.

In such an ordinary day, something extraordinary happened today.

Because the annual selection of the Fuzugawa Bunko Newcomer Award is coming.
