I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist.

"Well...thank you Teacher Yuezi for the compliment."

When Sagiri heard this, her head unconsciously lowered a little, and the expression under the mask was a little strange.

If she can be recognized by the creator, her value as an illustrator has been reached!

"By the way, Sagiri, what grade are you in elementary school now?"

Hikigaya Hachiman thought of a problem he had struggled with before, so he found an opportunity to make some innuendo.

"Fifth grade."

Sagiri answered subconsciously.

"That's it. She's one year younger than my sister."

He was thoughtful.

"Why did Teacher Yuezi suddenly ask this question?"

Sagiri reacted and asked.

"Nothing, just a casual chat."

He prevaricated.

"That's it. No wonder I always felt that Teacher Yuezi acted like an older brother. It turns out he has a younger sister. Now I understand."

Sagiri continued.

"Well, it's okay."

He smiled.

After communicating about their work, the two hung up the video.

Before Sagiri went to sleep, she suddenly thought of something and clicked to log in to her own blog - an erotic comics blog.

At first glance, you might think it is a blog introducing pornographic comics, but the content above is all serious content.

Sagiri occasionally posts articles on her blog to share her paintings, but since becoming the illustrator of "Summer Returns", the frequency has decreased a lot, and the content has also changed.

For example, she published an article called "Teacher Moonlight is Scary" some time ago, and then some thoughts on "Summer Returns".

Originally, this blog was basically not popular. At most, it only had fans attracted by some of the paintings I shared. However, since I became an illustrator, the popularity of the blog has gradually increased.

On the other hand, the illustrations of "Summer Returns" are indeed of some quality.

Not long after, she published another article titled, "I still think Teacher Yuezi is scary." As you can imagine, the content was complaining about his "cruelty" to the character.

Hikigaya Hachiman never imagined that he would look like this in the eyes of others.

For the time being, he still felt that he was quite approachable and gentle.

"call……"

"what……"

After the physical education class, the panting Hikigaya Hachiman found a bench to sit down and rest.

"I didn't expect that my physical strength would drop so much without knowing it. This is probably the only disadvantage of living at home."

He muttered to himself.

Less than 2 minutes.

"Well, this classmate, can you give up your position?"

In his ears, a familiar female voice sounded.

He raised his head slightly.

Brown hair, brown eyes, and generally cute appearance.

Oh, it turns out to be Kaori Orimoto.

As a passerby male student in the class, it is impossible to embarrass the female monitor at this time, right?

"I see."

He moved to the side, leaving a spacious space.

After Orimoto Kaori rested for a while, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the moment, and she couldn't help but said: "It seems to be called Hikigaya-san, right?"

"Does Orimoto-san actually know my name?"

He was amazed.

"You introduced yourself when school started, although the impression was a bit vague."

Kaori Orimoto explained.

"Oh, I see."

His tone was light.

"Hikigaya-san, haven't you made any friends in the class yet? It feels like you haven't talked to many other people. You must be disliked."

This young girl, you are too open-minded, aren't you?Don't say this to your face!

Hikigaya Hachiman cursed secretly.

"It's your imagination, maybe. I get along quite well with my classmates."

"Is that right?"

Orimoto Kaori scratched his cheek with his fingers, looking dubious.

She didn't always pay attention to the other person, maybe she just thought too much.

The conversation between the two ended quickly.

Although the girl has the characteristic of being able to strike up a conversation with anyone, it is impossible for her to talk to someone like him.

Hikigaya Hachiman has mastered the 'Topic Terminator' skill.

When he got home at night, he opened his files and mentally estimated the plot development of the second part of "Summer Returns".

I was so arrogant before that I even boasted to Miss Machida that I could achieve the progress of one volume in three months while maintaining quality.

But it seems that based on the current progress, it seems a bit behind.

The previous manuscript he sent to Ms. Machida received an unsatisfactory evaluation, but the second half of the plot during this period was rejected by Ms. Machida.

Why is this so?

Probably because I had plenty of time in the first half of the year, and it was still during the holidays. After school, I didn’t have that much time.

"I have a bit of a headache now."

Hikigaya Hachiman's face felt a little hot, and there was a burning phantom pain in the face.

Although I have been reminding myself, I still inevitably become proud and overestimate my abilities.

Miss Machida couldn't help him solve this problem.

As an editor, apart from a certain degree of appreciation, the help they can provide is actually very little. Otherwise, they would have written light novels by themselves. Wouldn't it be more profitable than the hard work of editing?

So, he tentatively communicated with Miss Yamada, the only colleague he could communicate with.

24Passion is not unlimited, life needs to be adjusted

Yamada Fairy: How simple this is!

Me: What should I say? Does Ms. Yamada have some good opinions?

Yamada Fairy: Isn’t it just a lack of time?Just like me, if you stop studying, you will have plenty of time, and you will even have plenty of time to play games.

Me: Oh, that’s okay.

Hikigaya Hachiman originally hoped that Miss Yamada would have some constructive opinions, but this idea was still too naive.

Miss Yamada is a lawless person, but he is restrained in every aspect.

This kind of thing should at least wait until he is old enough to be independent.

Elementary school goblin: Well, actually, as long as you have the same skills as me to 'complete the manuscript summoning', that's enough.

Me: Ms. Yamada, do you think I’m a fool?

In fact, isn't this just a trick that the Yamada fairy secretly wrote bit by bit when no one saw it, and then suddenly took it out at the last moment to show off that he was not working.

Elementary School Fairy: You can’t even do this?It's useless Hikigaya, then you can only try to pursue inspiration. As long as you are in a state of inspiration, both speed and quality can be taken into consideration!

This method is also nonsense. Inspiration is something you don’t just have.

And as far as he knew, when Ms. Yamada was able to exert her full strength, even when the deadline was approaching, there was no need to promote methods that she could not do.

Me: I understand.

Hikigaya Hachiman had no choice but to give up learning from Miss Yamada.

He has completely understood that Miss Yamada is just a genius with no special writing skills. This kind of blueprint is completely unsuitable for him to refer to.

Even if the time is slightly extended, the quality of the work must be maintained.

Finally, he made this judgment and had no time to worry about anything else. He just focused on creation.

When you can focus on one thing wholeheartedly, you will find that some things that you originally thought were difficult can be solved easily...

"If only that was the case."

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed.

After paying the price of double the chance of being caught absent-minded during class and the price of sulking because his sister felt ignored, he finally completed the second volume of "Summer Returns". The specific publication time is calculated. It was about half a month later than before.

You know, originally part of the second volume has been completed, but it still took more time than expected. Such data shows that he has not made much improvement during this period, and his own progress has also entered a plateau early. .

"At least the quality of the second volume has been maintained."

After Hikigaya Hachiman finished writing it, he read it again and felt as enjoyable as the first volume.

After sending it to Miss Machida, he also received similar evaluation and approval, which made him breathe a sigh of relief again.

However, this also made him feel a little tired.

Hikigaya Hachiman finally realized that the passion for creation is not unlimited, especially after his hobby turns into a job.

On the morning of the weekend, Hikigaya Hachiman fell asleep for the first time in a long time.

"Aha……"

He yawned and stretched.

"It's so comfortable. If only I could spend my whole life like this without working hard."

When you are lazy, such thoughts will always appear in your mind.

Even if you are a saint, you probably can’t avoid it, right?

It was lunch time, after the brother and sister finished eating the bento they made in the morning.

"Onii-chan, you must accompany me today! You have been neglecting Komachi recently."

千;'?,寻?免!:"费,:.小;说""?裙?'2?5'!.;5;5,9,.,:5.:3!0;0　　小町突然抱住了他的手臂，怨念满满的说道。

"sure."

He said without thinking.

"So happy to promise?"

Komachi raised his head, with a questioning expression on his young face.

"Because I was busy working on the second volume, which happened to be completed yesterday."

He replied.

"I see. No wonder Onii-chan looks very tired recently. It seems that writing a novel is not an easy task."

Komachi wanted to understand.

"So, what do you want me to accompany you for? Is it to go to an amusement park or an aquarium or something..."

Hikigaya Hachiman began to list them one by one.

"Onii-chan, do you want to go?"
