I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist

she added.

“It’s good to have confidence.”

Hikigaya Hachiman smiled.

He could see the ambition and arrogance in the girl's eyes, and realized that he had indeed misunderstood.

In the final analysis, the impressions in my memory are just impressions. It does not mean that I really understand or understand the other person.

"Actually, it was Xiaoshi who found out that she was just a frog in the well and wanted to correct her mistakes but was unable to do anything, so she took on such an attitude of asking for help."

Machida Enzi said mischievously next to her.

"Ms. Machida, can you please stop calling me poems?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's demeanor just now suddenly couldn't be maintained, and his eyes were full of resentment.

"Ahem, cough, cough, in that case, let's officially start."

Hikigaya Hachiman was very satisfied with the girl's current attitude, and the expression on his face became positive, and he began to analyze "Love Metronome".

Kasumigaoka Shiyu held a pen in her hand and a notebook on the table, as if she was ready to take notes at any time.

"Xia Shizi, can you first tell me what difficulties you have encountered?"

"Well, let me think about it... The first thing is the character setting. I felt that after the creation of the first volume, I wanted to maintain the same quality in the second volume but found that I couldn't do it, so I wanted to correct it. , but you can’t get out of the fence no matter what.”

"This is simple, you just need to add a new female character in the first volume."

"But wouldn't doing this change the core of the story? What I want to write is a love story between two people, and readers won't buy it, right?"

"Xia Shizi, you have never been in love, right?"

He narrowed his eyes.

"No, no."

Suddenly being asked this question by a younger boy, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"But is there any connection between the two? You don't have to be in love to write a love novel, right?"

"That's indeed what you said, but Xia Shizi, the love in your writing is too fantasy. As I have commented on the Internet before, it is too easy to get bored. The sweet plot of two people cannot support you to create more There is a sense of expectation, so you have to change your basic point. As for whether readers will buy it? Trust me, when the character creation abilities are about the same, the more cute girls the better.”

After some discussion, Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt enlightened, and the long road in front of her seemed to have been paved for her.

The accumulation of memories in two lifetimes, as well as in-depth study and writing by himself, have allowed Hikigaya Hachiman's understanding of light novels to reach a very high level.

Therefore, he can analyze the difficulties encountered in "Metronome of Love" one by one.

Such a vision made the fledgling Kasumigaoka Shiyu admire in his heart.

But such a gap and such pressure only made her more motivated, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Sooner or later, I will be superior to you, Teacher Moonlight!"

80Have you made any mistake in being a good teacher?

"Okay, that's all for now."

Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly said.

"Teacher Yueze, thank you for providing me with valuable advice. I will keep it in my mind. In addition, I will send you this kindness for the time being."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu stood up solemnly and bowed slightly, as if a smile appeared on his cold face for the first time.

"Well, there's no need to do this. For me, it only took a few dozen minutes, and I only provided some general opinions. It's up to you to decide how to do it."

Hikigaya Hachiman felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He doesn't seem to be able to adapt to his current position.

"To the teacher, this may be insignificant, but to me it is very important. It may be a suggestion that determines my future height, so please accept my thanks."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu was unyielding, her tone was firm, and her burgundy eyes were staring straight at him, with a strange charm.

"It seems that Xiaoshi has benefited a lot, otherwise she would never have said these words based on her character."

Machida Enzi, who was watching on the side, thought to herself.

As a result, I heard Kasumigaoka Shiyu change her subject: "So, Teacher Yueshi, you will be my first target, and I will try my best to surpass you next!"

"Isn't this a face-to-face provocation? Xiaoshi's self-esteem is still very strong. This must be the last sign of stubbornness, right? Then what is Teacher Yueze's reaction?"

Machida Enzi looked to the other side expectantly.

"Hahaha……"

Hikigaya Hachiman laughed loudly.

Is this the first time he has been targeted?

It's a very special feeling.

Miss Yamada would never say such a thing, and Wu Geng is more pragmatic. Even if she had such thoughts in her mind, she would never say them out loud.

Therefore, his attitude is...

"Then try to surpass me! Kasumi Shiko, I look forward to that day!"

Hikigaya Hachiman welcomes the challenge.

"Then just wait for me, Teacher Yuezi."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu also showed a confident smile.

Before leaving, at Kasumigaoka Shiyu's request, the two exchanged contact information.

After returning, Hikigaya Hachiman thought about it.

Has his relationship with Kasumi Shiko become like Zoro and Hawkeye?

It's just that he is not the best in the world yet, and Xia Shizi can only be regarded as a registered disciple who has taught him a few tricks.

If you calculate it this way, Wu Geng should be regarded as his true disciple.

Inexplicably, he suddenly discovered that he had a side that was good at teaching others.

Fortunately, I shouldn't have mistaken anyone's disciples, right?

With his advice, Wu Geng, who failed to pass the second review, successfully debuted. Kasumi Shiko should be able to break free from her own limitations and surpass her original destiny.

In March, as the last month of the semester came, the atmosphere in the school became more and more tense and relaxed.

The reason for this bipolar situation is naturally that those who want to go to a better high school are studying hard, and the rest are naturally left to their own devices.

Hikigaya Hachiman is a relatively relaxed person, but that doesn't mean he's showing off, it's just because he has enough confidence.

"Hurry, hurry."

In class, he murmured something with a deep look in his eyes.

After the final exam, it's almost time for the showdown, and the plan from a year ago will begin.

Just when he was taking his time, the Yamada Fairy couldn't sit still.

Elementary School Fairy: Hey, Hikigaya, when is it? This lady is impatient to wait! When are you going to move?

Me: Miss Yamada, are you so eager to become my neighbor?

Elementary school goblin: I just want to get information about Teacher Eromanga from you. It just so happens that I also want to move out. This is just a suitable choice. Don’t misunderstand me. It has to be you!

Me: I’ve already asked, and Sagiri said she couldn’t give you her address and that you would definitely harass her severely. I think it makes sense.

Elementary School Fairy: Is Sagiri the name of Teacher Eromanga? Is she a girl?

Me: I can’t give you the address, but Sagiri won’t mind if I just know Mr. Eromanga.

Elementary school goblin: Great! This is the first step to conquer Teacher Erromanga! Hikigaya, tell me in detail!

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman shook his head and laughed.

This guy really shines when given a little sunshine.

He knew Sagiri's character very well. She was very stubborn and afraid of strangers. Miss Yamada still had a long way to go before she wanted to change Sagiri's mind.

One afternoon.

Wu Geng Liuli came over with the final version of her debut novel.

Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly remembered that the two of them were neighbors, but it felt like they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

During this period, Wu Geng entered a state of seclusion similar to his previous summer vacation, forcing himself to a situation close to the limit.

This will be reflected in the quality of the manuscript.

Wu Geng Liuli created a novel about a magical girl venturing into a different world. The choice of theme is reasonable and popular themes are the first choice for newcomers nowadays, but the specific story seemed a bit vulgar before.

Hikigaya Hachiman re-read this work and clearly found that the content has been greatly improved compared to the work during the Newcomer Award period.

Of course, this was only insignificant compared to Wu Geng himself and compared to a few people he knew, but it was exciting enough for an ordinary debut novelist.

If it were Kasumigaoka Shiu, he would definitely feel dissatisfied. He would suggest that the other party rewrite it, and give verbal pressure to bring out the other party's true potential.

But after all, not everyone is talented, and today's Wu Geng is also very self-aware.

"I'm ready to debut. If I can maintain this state, I should be able to achieve an average score of more than 20,000."

Hikigaya Hachiman estimated.

"Um."

Wu Geng Liuli lowered her head, then smiled and raised her head.

It is true that such a target score is still far behind those of those popular writers, but the girl who has experienced many failures has already recognized herself and is even happy about it.

At least her efforts are valuable.

As for what kind of writer he will become in the future, that can only be considered later.

People should live in the present.

Hikigaya Hachiman roughly analyzed her psychological activities through her expression. He didn't say anything more on this point, but turned around and asked, "Have you decided on your pen name?"

"Well, I've already thought about it."

Wu Geng Liuli's eyes moved with longing.

"Let's call it Liuli Jiujie."

From now on, this will become another important name in her life.

81 Showdown

As time goes by, the third grade of junior high school has ended.

The next step is to consider entering high school.

However, before filling in the application form and taking the entrance exam, the school still has a three-way interview process.

Mrs. Hikigaya took the time to come to school, and the teacher talked to her about his academic performance. When she learned all this, Mrs. Hikigaya looked very surprised.

In fact, compared to his father, this mother is more concerned. She once asked him about his academic performance, and his reply at that time was 'not bad'.

Now it seems that it is not only good, but also ridiculously good. He is actually the first in his grade.

"Hikigaya-san's grades are so good, your first choice should be Sobu High School, right? If you don't consider going to other places."

"Hmm... Then let's go to Wu Gao."

After Mrs. Hikigaya came to her senses, she chose to agree with the teacher's opinion and set her choice as Sobu High School, the key school with the highest deviation value in Chiba City.

If it was an average grade, it would be considered, but since he is the first in his grade, even if Hikigaya's middle school is not very powerful, it will be easy.

In this regard, Hikigaya Hachiman did not express any opinion.

On the way home, Mrs. Hikigaya became more talkative and had many more words of praise.

She never expected that her neglected son would give her such a surprise.
