"I won't become such a social animal in the future..."

Ayase, who was sitting on the tram, looked at a middle-aged man next to him who was obviously dressed as an office worker, and he was going to work happily, thinking a little bit in his heart.

The time along the way was spent in Ayase's wild imagination. Following the voice broadcast in the car, the train arrived at Shinjuku Station in Tokyo.

With the experience of coming to Tokyo last time, Ayase found the building of the Dengeki editorial department familiarly.

Entering the reception hall, Ayase found that the receptionist at the front desk this time was not the same person she saw last time.

After telling the reception staff about her appointment, the front desk said that Ayase's editor-in-chief, Tomi Ken, was waiting for her upstairs.

"Why do I always feel lazy when I hear the name of editor Togaken, I don't know if it's an illusion..." Ayase thought boredly as she quietly watched the number of floors in the elevator jump upwards.

After getting out of the elevator, Ayase came to Room 1107 with the sign of Group C of the editorial department. For some reason, the door of the editorial room was open. Standing at the door, Ayase could clearly see the Condition.

The ground is full of bound manuscripts, leaving only an aisle that can be moved by one person. In the editorial room full of books and papers, the chubby editor Fu Jian is sweating profusely with a stack of papers in his hand. Fan the wind.

There are a total of four desks in the editorial room. Apart from editor Togakin, there are two people sitting behind the desks. Ayase can't see clearly because there is a high stack of books in front of the two people. them.

However, the same as under the editor of Fu Jian, the two editors also frequently fanned the paper in their hands, as if it was too hot.

After Ayase knocked lightly on the door, editor Tomikin who heard the sound looked up and saw that it was Ayase, and nodded with a hearty smile, "Ayase, you are here, come in and sit down."

"Sorry, the air conditioner in the office is broken, and the room is a bit hot."

After Ayase sat down, Editor Togayo waved the stack of papers in his hand to replace the fan, and said apologetically.

"Ah, it's okay..."

Probably because the girl's metabolism was a little slow, Ayase didn't feel how unbearable the temperature in the room was.

"Okay, then let's get to the point and talk about your novel. You can find a cool place to stay when you finish talking early."

Chapter 46 It's All an Illusion

"Well, let's talk about your novel."

After talking about his own job, the expression on the editor Fu Jian's face was like flipping through a book, and he changed into a serious expression.

"First of all, I can tell you some good news. Your work Accelerated World has been shortlisted. Judging from the feedback from the judges and test readers, it is not bad."

Not trying to be a joke, editor Fujin told Ayase the news of her light novel review straight to the point.

"It can be said that regardless of whether you can win the grand prize or not, your novel has already been scheduled for publication."

After Ayase digested the news he said, editor Togakin continued: "This time I called you here, besides asking you to complete the follow-up procedures, there is one more thing."

"The recent monthly magazine will hold a collection of short articles, and the submissions for each issue will be printed in the monthly magazine. Do you want to participate?"

"If it's written well, it can gather some popularity for you first."

"Short essay collection?"

Ayase thought about it and asked, "What is the specific theme? Are there any other requirements?"

"Well, the specific rules are still being worked out, because the time is relatively tight, and the editorial department wants us to find some authors to make an appointment first, and set up the early stage first. Anyway, do you want to try?"

After thinking about it carefully, Ayase realized that she seemed to have nothing to lose by participating in this event. Just like what editor Togaken said, good writing can also gain some popularity for herself, so she nodded her head in agreement.

"Okay, I will send the specific rules to your mailbox at that time. If you have any questions, just send me an email."

After explaining the essay competition to Ayase, editor Togashi told Ayase about the follow-up matters of the Dengeki Bunko Award.

"In short, from my personal point of view, I am still very optimistic about the prospects of your novel."

After confirming that Ayase has figured out what he said, Editor Tomiga summed up his expectations for Ayase.

"Then I say goodbye."

After walking out of the door of the editing room, Ayase vaguely heard the discussions of several editors behind her.

"Are young girls these days monsters?"

"I remember that the editorial team next door seems to have published a contribution by a female high school student this time."

"Oh, you said the book called Love or something?"

"Yes! That's the one, I heard it's already in the publishing process..."

"...the current rookie..."

Because she had gone far away, Ayase didn't listen to the rest of the editors.

For some reason, Ayase, who heard their discussion, had an image of a girl whom she met in the elevator when she came to submit the article that day.

——Red eyes, sensual plump curves, long black hair with a white headband, a tall figure in a blue uniform, and slender legs wrapped in black pantyhose.

It was just a chance meeting in the elevator, and the confidence and elegance in the girl's eyes left a very amazing impression on Ayase.

"I always feel that they are talking about that girl, maybe this is the intuition of the legendary woman? 』

Amused by her own thoughts, Ayase shook her head and walked out of Dengeki Bunko's gate.

After leaving the magnificent Dengeki Bunko Kanban building, Ayase stood in the middle of the street, hesitating where to go next.

"Although it is a good choice to go home directly, but it is rare to come out by yourself, so it seems like a good idea to just stroll around the street casually like this." 』

Since she decided to take a stroll to see the street scene in Tokyo, Ayase, who thought of it, chose a direction at random and started to act.

"Tokyo, it's a bit hot..."

Stretching out her hand to cover her forehead with a piece of shade and looking up at the sun, Ayase quickly walked two steps to the shade:

"Fortunately, I put on sunscreen before coming out... Should I bring a parasol or something next time..."

Even under the shade of the trees to avoid direct sunlight, Ayase, who was still a little tight in the chest due to the sweltering air, began to regret why she wandered around at noon.

"Let's go home..."

"Excuse me! Excuse me..." Ayase, who was about to turn around and go home to the tram stop, suddenly heard a sweet and lovely question from behind.

"Eh? Little sister, are you calling me?"

Turning around, Ayase carefully looked at the girl with twin ponytails who was shorter than herself and dressed strangely, and asked, pointing to the tip of her nose.

——A red tie on a black lady's shirt, a short red plaid skirt, amber eyes and a delicate face, long hair dyed bright silver and tied into double ponytails that almost reach the ankles.

It was clearly summer, but for some reason this young girl, who looked very young from the face, wore a white long-sleeved windbreaker over her clothes.

"Yes... Excuse me, do you know where to buy Beijing tofu?"

Hearing that she was being called a little sister, the girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old was obviously taken aback for a moment, then a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she said to Ayase:

"Yes, big sister, do you know where Beijing tofu is sold?"

"Eh?? Beijing tofu? Of course you have to go to Kyoto to buy Beijing tofu!"

Hearing Ayase's answer, the girl's amber eyes blinked in confusion, and said in a confused tone: "Isn't this the capital?"

"..."

"Whose lord is this, sending a child who can't tell the difference between Kyoto and Tokyo to buy things?"

While slandering the parents of the unknown little girl in her heart, Ayase said with a smile on her face:

"No, this is Tokyo. Jingtofu refers to tofu from Kyoto. These two are not the same place."

"Eh????"

The girl with long silver hair and twin ponytails had an obviously surprised expression on her face: "So it's not in the same place?"

"That's right, if you start from Tokyo, it will take about two hours to get to Kyoto by Shinkansen."

Ayase showed a friendly smile on her face, and patiently explained to the other party: "So, let your adults buy Beijing tofu or something. It's too far away for you to go by yourself."

"Is that so..."

The obviously depressed girl sighed in frustration, and said politely, "Then thank you, big sister..."

"It's ok……"

Saying goodbye to the unknown little girl, Ayase, who had had enough of the hot weather, followed the way she came and prepared to return to the station.

After walking two steps, Ayase suddenly stopped with a strange feeling in her heart.

"It's such an annoying feeling..."

For some reason, Ayase felt very irritable in her heart, and looked around anxiously.

Because it was not the normal off-duty time, the street where Ayase was located was not a main road, and there were no shops on either side.

So at this time, Ayase could see the end of the street from where he was standing without hindrance. Apart from the big trees on both sides of the empty street, there were only a few lonely telephone poles and trash cans left.

"Probably because the weather is too hot, it's stuffy..."

Shaking her head vigorously, she took a deep breath and let it out. Feeling much better, Ayase walked quickly towards the station: "Let's go home and get some air-conditioning..."

Chapter 47 The World Turns With Love

"Eh?Why is there a group of people in front? 』

Turning out from the previously empty street, Ayase returned to the bustling main road. It seemed that because it was lunch break time, there were gradually more pedestrians on the street.

Following the route she came from, Ayase headed towards the station, and after walking a short distance, she saw a large circle of people surrounded by a storefront on the side of the road, and they didn't know what they were doing.

Ayase, full of curiosity, took two quick steps towards the crowd out of her nature of watching the crowd.

As she approached the onlookers, Ayase vaguely heard a low exclamation from the crowd.

"It's amazing, this person has won fifty consecutive victories, right?"

"Yeah, the challenger from just now has never won..."

Ayase, who became more and more confused as she listened, took two steps back, and when the crowd no longer blocked her view, she finally saw the signboard of the shop surrounded by crowds.

"Hmm, what, it's an arcade..."

"This person named UMR is very strong..."

Ayase, who was not interested in this, suddenly lost the idea of ​​continuing to watch, turned a deaf ear to the discussion from the crowd, turned and left the gathered group of people.

"Careless! 』

Sitting on the train, Ayase pressed her stomach to suppress the feeling of hunger, and thought in her heart with some regret:

"I knew I should have found something to eat in a restaurant before taking the bus. 』

It was the normal lunch time, and Ayase, who had spent all morning outside, felt empty in her stomach.

"By the way, I remember that ekiben is a major feature of Japan! 』

Suddenly remembered that Ayase, who has an station bento culture in Japan, brightened her eyes, and found a hunting target for her empty stomach.

——The so-called station bento in Japan refers to the bento specially sold in the station, which is different from the bento that can be bought everywhere on the street.

Ekiben was originally made of local specialties and sold in stations for the needs of tourists. Therefore, from the shape of the bento box, ingredients to cooking methods, each station’s bento has its own unique characteristics.
