I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist.

After discovering her difficulty, Machida Enzi said there was a solution and asked her to come over today.

The current scene made her understand what kind of medicine Machida Enzi was selling in the gourd.

"Teacher Moonlight, this is Kasumi Shiko, the author of "Metronome of Love". You have reviewed her works before, right? You should still have an impression, right?"

Machida Enko turned to introduce Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Of course I have an impression."

he nodded.

While talking, Kasumigaoka Shiu had already walked over, and Machida Enzi took the girl and sat opposite him.

"So, I hope Teacher Yueze's previous suggestion about "Metronome of Love" can be more specific? Or provide some more useful advice?"

Machida Enzi clapped her hands and asked for help.

This kind of care for its authors is something that Hikigaya Hachiman likes very much. Not only him, Nayuta has also received a lot of help from the editor during this period.

He had no reason to refuse such a small favor.

The reason why he was chosen as the mentor was not only the connection with the client, but also his foundation and experience that were more suitable for this role. If it were Nayuta who was at the top from the beginning, the creative opinions she could put forward would be of great help to others. It may not be useful, it may even be a burden.

It's just that giving advice is not something that can be achieved just by one party's willingness. Sometimes the person being mentored may not be willing to accept your opinion.

"I don't care, it just depends on whether Teacher Xia Shizi is willing to accept it."

Hikigaya Hachiman turned to look at the senior sitting opposite.

"Hello, Teacher Yueze, I am Kasumi Shiko. Regarding your previous suggestions, to be honest, they are very useful to me."

Unexpectedly, Kasumigaoka Shiyu stood up on his own initiative and extended his hand.

For the sake of etiquette, he had no choice but to stand up and shake hands with the other party.

It feels very soft, like cotton.

Speaking of which, it seemed like this was the first time he shook hands with a girl of his own age?

"Teacher Kasumi Shiko's attitude surprised me a little."

Sitting down again, the look of surprise on Hikigaya Hachiman's face had not disappeared.

"I haven't officially debuted yet, and I can't bear the title of 'teacher' yet."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu first denied it.

"I have read the works of Mr. Yue Se, which made me deeply touched. I also realized that I did not really understand light novels before. So after reading many works, such as "Silver Season" by Mr. Ke'er, I became more familiar with light novels. I have a new understanding of the industry, and I also have new ideas for future creations, but I still don’t understand. Even if the teacher pointed out the problem to me, how can I change it to achieve true perfection? So, I have long since I want to meet the teacher."

She put her right hand on the edge of the table and continued with a serious look.

"The teacher would be surprised. Could it be that he thinks I am always stubborn? Confidence is not arrogance. I still understand the principle of masters being teachers."

"I didn't say that."

he stressed.

"That's what the teacher looked like just now."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked calm.

"But, teacher, just because you are better than me now, doesn't mean you will always be better than me in the future."

She added another sentence.

"Confidence is a good thing."

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 party.

"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, could 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, looking like 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 feel that after the creation of the first volume, I wanted to maintain the same quality in the second volume but found that there was no way to start, so I wanted to correct it. , but no matter what, you can’t get out of the fence.”

"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 expectations, so you have to change your basic point. As for whether readers will buy it? Believe 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.

This kind of 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 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 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 be like this. For me, it only took a few ten 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 say 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 comes, the atmosphere in the school becomes 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.

"It's coming soon."

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 Eromanga!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 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 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 subject matter is reasonable. Popular subjects 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.
