"Senior Ao Temple, what surprise are you going to give me?”
In a coffee shop, Ross was drinking coffee with Okudera Miki. There were many young couples in the coffee shop next to the train station. Some of them were even feeding each other. Ross was slightly unhappy, and he had the urge to call the FFF group. However, he didn't know that he was also the object of envy in the eyes of other single dogs. After all, a beauty like Okudera Miki was chatting and laughing with him. How could they not be envious of him when they were so close?
"What's wrong? Are you bored with me? You went straight to the point?"
Okudera Miki glanced at him and said. Ross shook his head and said,
"That's not it. It's just that I'm sometimes impatient.”
Okudera Miki didn't keep her in suspense. She took out an envelope from her baby and said,"
"Here, here you go."
Ross was surprised by the result. The envelope was obviously opened, and someone had obviously read it. As expected, it was Okudera Miki herself. The cover of the letter seemed to belong to a certain company. When he opened it, there was only a piece of paper inside.
" Congratulations to Taki-san Tachibana for winning the silver award for his work 'Time in the Blue Sky' by Kadokawa Beans Bunkaku. Since you didn't leave your phone number, we can't contact you further. If possible, please go to the Bunkaku company's address on a weekday to discuss the publication with the editor.”
Seeing the bright red company seal, Ross was stunned. The light novel library, Kadokawa Beans Library, was the teenage girl novel library of Kadokawa Bookstore. It was very famous in both the real world and this monastic world. It mainly focused on female light novels. Although it wasn't as famous as Kadokawa Sneaker Library, which had the most readers, it was still one of Kadokawa Bookstore's signboards!
"Senior…this is?"
"This is the surprise I gave you. I submitted your manuscript to the library. I didn't expect that not only did I get a pass rate, but I also received a silver reward. This can be directly published and the royalties are not bad. If it can sold well, you'll instantly become rich.”
Okudera Miki said with a smile. Then, she thought of something and said,"
"You won't blame me for submitting it without permission, right?”
"How can that be? I've considered submitting a light novel before, but it's not this one. This book is too niche.”
"You look down on your own writing. I dare say that your book is very suitable for college girls and even housewives.”
However, Okudera Miki gave " Shigure Aura " a very high affirmation. Ross thought about it and wondered if it would become popular in this world if it was unpopular in the real world. After all, a work that could be published by two worlds indeed had its own strengths. He immediately said,
"Alright, regardless of whether it's a sold well or not, I'll treat you well. What does Senior Ao Temple want?”
Miki Okudera said,"
"Aren't you asking the obvious?"
After saying that, she stood up and leaned forward with her hands on the seat to support herself. She glared at Ross. Ross felt her elegant aura and saw the faint cleavage under her collar because of her leaning forward. His mouth was dry and he quickly said,
"Alright, I was wrong."
"Apologize suddenly? You haven't told me what I want.”
Ross took out his phone and lowered his head to the beautiful woman. He said,"
"Please, I'm ready."
Seeing his reaction, Okudera Miki couldn't help but chuckle. She quickly took his phone and started reading it. Mika's diary was locked and hidden by his fingerprint, so Okudera Miki didn't notice it. Soon, she saw what she wanted, which was the new novel that Ross had promised her a week ago.
"April is your lie?"
Okudera Miki read the title of the book softly. The last time, the name was very ethereal, but this time, it was poetic. She couldn't help but open it to take a look. She was surprised to find that there were pictures inside. They were handwritten and faxed. Unlike the previous time, there were simple illustrations this time. Reading it gave her a better experience.
"I see. You wrote this manuscript by hand. I always thought that you lacked inspiration.”
After Okudera Miki sighed, her mind was drawn into the novel. Unlike the second volume, this was a veritable long novel. The exquisite writing style and exquisite illustrations gave Okudera Miki a pleasant feeling. Because it was a long novel, there was only the first volume this time. However, the encounter between the male and female leads, their personalities, and backgrounds were all fully expressed. Okudera Miki said with a lingering desire,"
"This is a real love story, right? It gave off a beautiful, rose-like feeling.”
Ross cursed in his heart. Rose was actually used to describe the TL, just like Lily was used to describe the LL. He coughed and said,
"This time, I have to draw illustrations and write. Moreover, I feel that this story will only be shocking if I read it in one go, so I haven't given it to you.”
"I see. It seems that I was too anxious. How about this? I'll endure it. When you're done, can you make a copy of the manuscript for me to see?”
"Senior, you must be joking. When the time comes, I'll naturally give you the original manuscript.”
Ross's words made Miki Okudera look at him deeply and say,"
"This is the work you're really going to submit, right? Is it really okay to give me the original manuscript?”
"Eh? What problem could there be?"
Ross was at a loss. Seeing his dazed expression, Miki Okudera laughed and said softly,"
"It's fine. I hope that your work this time will shock me again. That way, I'll be completely captured by you and become your loyal reader.”
Ross didn't think much of it and nodded."
"Yes."
“……”
Okudera Miki returned the phone to him and kicked him across the table."
"What do you mean by 'uh', idiot?"
"Eh?"
Ross was puzzled. How could he be kicked? Did he say something wrong? About ten minutes later, Ross and Miki Okudera parted ways. The beautiful university student sitting on the bus watched his figure slowly disappear into the distance through the back window. It was only when she could no longer see him clearly that she turned her head to look at the photo of the two of them on her phone and smiled.
Ross returned home. Since he didn't have to go to work tonight, he found the original manuscript of his manuscript," April Is Your Lie." This was a touching manga in the real world. He didn't want to draw a manga, so he immediately changed it into a light novel. He wrote and drew it himself, preparing to use it as a stepping stone to submit. However, he didn't expect Okudera Miki to give him a surprise. She directly submitted " Shikigami Aokura ", regardless of the final sales. With his experience, the possibility of April Is Your Lie being selected for submission had greatly increased.
Originally, he wanted to continue creating, but he felt a little uneasy and gave up. After rummaging through the cabinets, he found the artist and drawing board that he had forgotten for a long time. Then, he began to draw. After an unknown period of time, the sun had already set. Ross put down his pen and nodded in satisfaction as he admired his work.
"Not bad, maybe we can give Three Leaves a surprise the next time he comes.”
