“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 as he opened 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 beautiful 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 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. Are you going to learn bad things from him?”
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 touch 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, as if tears were falling there. The summer vacation ended, the day of school arrived, and the empty classroom was once again filled with students. Everyone hadn’t seen each other for a while, and couldn’t help whispering and infecting each other’s emotions. As a passer-by in the class, Hikigaya Hachiman will naturally have corresponding passers-by 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.
I didn’t expect that the person in front of him would become a fisherman.
In addition to the news that surprised Hikigaya Hachiman, he didn’t listen carefully to the rest, but observed other people.
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 Hachiman Hikigaya 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. He suddenly laughed while complaining in his heart. “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.” Hachiman Hikigaya 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 he had a chatty 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 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 selling two or three volumes, 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, and lazy people hope for the peak.
Hikigaya Hachiman believes that every drop of sweat and every effort he makes at this moment is valuable and will bring him enough rewards in the future.
If you can’t get anything after all your hard work, you can complain to others about your luck at that time!

Yamada Fairy: Hey, I guess you have already paid homage to my debut work “The Exploding Dark Fairy”, right? You have already seen the gap between you and me, right?
Me: I’d better save it for you. I’m embarrassed to say what you wrote. There are too many mistakes in writing! But this problem is not serious. After all, you are just a primary school student. It is excusable, but the plot inside is a classic plot? Don’t you feel embarrassed when you go swimming in the river and see a beautiful elf naked? Moreover, there are three scenes in the first volume where the heroine is completely naked… In addition, there are also many vulgar scenes about selling meat. If you don’t know, you will think you are some disgusting fat nerd!
Yamada Fairy:? ? ? ? I admit that some of the plots are indeed vulgar, but isn’t that what everyone wants to see? ? This lady is called accurately targeting the reader group, as well as the writing style and so on. The words are simple and just expressing the meaning is enough. This is the state of returning to nature! Also, don’t slander sacred nudity!
Me: I understand, being naked is Ms. Yamada’s XP, right?
Yamada Fairy: Just understand! Also, by sticking to the creative style of light novels, Hikigaya, your vision is too shallow! Writing this type of novel does not mean that I am a strange person, as long as you have met me in person you will know.
Yamada Fairy: Wait, are you asking for my information?
Me: Didn’t you say it yourself?
Yamada Fairy: Humph, even if you tell me it doesn’t matter, I am very cute!
Me: Yes, yes, lovely Miss Yamada.
Hikigaya Hachiman responded perfunctorily as usual, but Miss Yamada seemed to have misunderstood his meaning and sent out a video invitation the next moment.
“beep……”
Should this be accepted or rejected?
It seemed like there was nothing to think about, but when I remembered that this seemed to be the first time in my life, I felt inexplicably moved.
He clicked to accept the video invitation.
On the screen in her hand, a cute and childish face soon appeared, with blond hair and elf-like pointed and long ears. She looked like a fairy coming from a fantasy world, but her expression at the moment was a bit unhappy and arrogant. , breaks this beauty.
Hikigaya looked a little confused.
“Hehe, Hikigaya, are you intoxicated by my beauty?”
When Yamada Fairy saw his appearance, he suddenly laughed.
“Ahem.”
Hikigaya Hachiman coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and said, “Miss Yamada is indeed quite cute. There is no way to deny this, but I was not irritating you just now.”
He felt he needed to explain.
“I don’t care what you think. I just want to prove how wrong your idea is.”
Yamada Fairy said proudly.
“By the way, I also want to confirm whether you, Hikigaya, lied before.”
She moved closer to the phone screen and examined his appearance.
“Well, although he looks ordinary, has a mature look, and has a pair of dead fish eyes, he does look not much older than me.”
“Ms. Yamada, you started the video just to belittle me, right? Can you take care of my self-esteem a little bit?”
Hikigaya Hachiman pretended to be dissatisfied.
“Are you that fragile? I don’t believe it.”
Instead, the Yamada Fairy showed a contemptuous expression.
The two often exchange writing experiences together. Naturally, she has a good grasp of Hikigaya’s temperament, so it’s not too much to call him a ‘friend’.
“Well, my purpose has been achieved, young lady. There is no point in continuing the conversation.”
Fairy Yamada brushed her golden curls around her ears.
“Are you going to download the dungeon again?”
He guessed it.
“Um.”
Yamada Fairy answered while reaching out and clicking to close. Suddenly he remembered something and stopped his fingers.
“Hey, Hikigaya, do you want to play together?”
Miss Yamada suddenly extended an invitation.
“I don’t have time, I’m still busy with my studies and writing novels.”
He declined politely.
“Do you understand the balance between work and rest? Idiot, articles written when the motivation is at the MAX are the most interesting.”
Clenching his fists, Yamada Fairy gritted his teeth.
“This is a matter of opinion. In addition, Ms. Yamada just wants to find a tool person to deliver materials, right? I heard you say before that the game is very boring and collecting materials is very troublesome.”
Hikigaya Hachiman thought he saw this clearly.
“You have seen this! Huh, since you don’t want to, then forget it.”
Yamada Fairy made a face and stuck out his tongue.
The video was then turned off.
The article was written by nature, and it was accidentally acquired by a good hand.
Although Hikigaya Hachiman thinks that Miss Yamada is a hedonist, I have to say that some of her views are indeed insightful.
However, now he has no room to be as calm as the other party.
What’s more, even though Ms. Yamada said so herself, when she was working on the manuscript, she was not in high spirits, but when she was approaching a deadline.
Time is like running water, flowing by unconsciously, and December is here in a blink of an eye.
“Hikigaya, the second volume of “The Dark Fairy of Explosive Flame” will be released at the weekend. Shall we go buy it together?”
“No, go on your own.”
“Hey, how could this happen…”
“I have something important to do that day.”
“I see.”
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 his class, and they immediately liked it.
From his perspective, Ms. Yamada’s debut work can be classified as another world toilet paper, and there is nothing interesting about it.
But for other otakus of this age, it is indeed quite tempting.
Everyone knows about adolescence.
He preached out of friendship, but did not have the spare time to queue up at the bookstore to buy the second volume, so he decisively refused.
After casually dealing with the interpersonal relationships at school, as a member of the Homecoming Club, he urgently chose to return home.
On such an ordinary day, extraordinary things happened today.
Because, the annual selection of Fusukawa Bunko Newcomer Award is coming soon.
