Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Chitanda Mirai said helplessly:

"Yes."

"But I wasn't able to get into the newcomer award ceremony at that time."

"Standing out from so many books is really difficult."

Igarashi Chinatsu smiled and said:

"Yes."

"The difficulty of winning the Newcomer Award varies from year to year."

"Perhaps there were more new masters in your year."

"However, the fact that so many works participate in this newcomer award every year also speaks to the prestige of this award."

"It should be noted that only authors whose manuscripts have been accepted and whose books are being sold are eligible to participate."

"Aside from those authors who have successfully signed contracts, 8-9% of new authors can't even get past this step."

"So it's already quite impressive that you and Kamishiro-kun could write such works at this age."

Chapter 282 Don't let mistakes become missed opportunities!

attic.

Apart from Shiro Kaede, all the girls from the Literature Club gathered up there.

Everyone was looking at Chinatsu Igarashi.

At this point, she had already read all the manuscripts from the other members of the Literature Club, except for Shiro Kaede's manuscript.

But sadly.

Apart from Chitanda Mirai, no one else passed.

Although only Chitanda Mirai got through it.

But actually, the writing styles of Hina Watanabe, Maki Mizuno, and Shoko Shiina are quite good.

The content is just not quite right.

Hina Watanabe's story is purely about everyday love, but the problem is that it's rather uneventful.

Maki Mizuno wrote a story about a Tokyo girl's struggle, but she wrote too much about trivial things.

Shiina Shoko's novels are more anime-style, and actually, hers is quite good. It's clear that she read a lot about anime before she started writing. It's just a pity that the plot is very old-fashioned and lacks originality, otherwise, I really wanted to approve Shiina Shoko's manuscript.

As for Erina Kamishiro, Rika Maejima, and Junko Urahara, their performances are somewhat hard to describe. Each of them has their own unique characteristics, and it can only be said that there is a lot of room for improvement in all three of them.

So throughout the whole thing...

Only Chitanda Mirai's manuscript was approved.

After Igarashi Chinatsu finished reviewing the manuscript, she took Chitanda Mirai's manuscript and said to the others:

"There is a lot of room for improvement in everyone."

"I hope to receive more submissions from you in the future."

After exchanging pleasantries with the people present, she left.

This tragic outcome caused Erina Kamishiro and Rika Maejima to hug Junko Urahara with regret and pain.

Erina Kamishiro: "o(╥﹏╥)o Why can Onii-chan's scribbled stuff pass? Why can't my serious writing pass?"

Shoko Shiina: "(﹏) Shoko, I've watched so many anime, and I've racked my brains over the plot for so long, why can't I get past this?"

Rika Maejima: "(┳Д┳) My romance novel is so good, why didn't I pass the test?"

Junko Urahara: "(▼he▼メ) Isn't the point of a food novel to be about food? What do you need a plot for?"

Shiina Shoko: "(＠_＠;)?"

Chitanda Mirai: "-_-||"

Rika Maejima: "┭┮﹏┭┮ Looking at the whole picture, only Mirai-chan and Kamishiro-kun passed. No wonder so many people say it's hard to submit to a publishing house. Now I know how hard it is."

Maki Mizuno: "(_) Submitting a manuscript is indeed very difficult."

Hina Watanabe: "(┬＿┬) That was really difficult. It seems that Kamishiro-kun has some skill to get through."

Chitanda Mirai: "(。＿。) Indeed, I'm also very curious about what he's writing."

Erina Kamishiro: "o(╥﹏╥)o I should have asked Igarashi-san to show us the manuscript that Onii-chan hadn't finished writing yet."

Rika Maejima: "(*￣︶￣) I remember Kamishiro-kun said it was almost finished, let's have him show it to us then."

Chitanda Mirai: "(#^.^#) I think so too."

First floor.

It's only a little past three o'clock now.

So the coffee shop is not open yet.

Tap tap tap~

Shiro Shiro, who was typing on the first floor, turned his head to look in the direction of the stairs and saw that Igarashi Chinatsu was coming down.

He stopped typing and asked softly:

How are they doing?

Chinatsu Igarashi sat down in front of Shirofumi Kamishiro, scratching her cheek with a hint of helplessness:

"Except for your minister, the rest of the army was wiped out."

Shiro Shiro was somewhat surprised by the result.

Because Mizuno Maki, Watanabe Hina, and Shiina Shoko all had good grades.

It was indeed a bit of a surprise that none of them passed.

However, since even someone like Igarashi Chinatsu, who is a professional in this field, has said so.

That makes sense, and there are indeed problems.

Chinatsu Igarashi apologized:

"Sorry, we rejected your sister too."

Shiro Kaede smiled and waved:

"It's alright, it's good for her to know the harshness of society in advance."

"And I also glanced at her novel when I printed it out."

"It's fine as a diary, but it's not really suitable for publication."

"So your judgment is correct."

Chinatsu Igarashi hadn't expected Bai Feng to be so open-minded, and smiled:

"Since you can understand, that's for the best."

"By the way, the coffee and dishes you just made were delicious."

"I never expected that Kamishiro-kun would be so talented in cooking, in addition to writing novels."

Jindai Bai Feng smiled slightly:

"You are welcome to come often if you like."

Chinatsu Igarashi joked with a smile:

"So, Kamishiro-kun, you're inviting me?"

Kamdai Bai Feng smiled and said:

"That depends on how well Ms. Igarashi manages the book for me."

Chinatsu Igarashi smiled:

"I never expected Kamishiro-kun to say something like that."

"But you can rest assured about that."

"This is the book I have the highest hopes for this year, so I will definitely make it a success."

Kamishiro Shiro nodded slightly and said:

"Then I'll leave it to Ms. Igarashi."

The two were chatting.

When Igarashi Chinatsu saw Kamishiro Hakufu chatting with her while rapidly typing on the keyboard...

She was somewhat puzzled and asked:

"Kamishiro-kun, are you writing right now?"

Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:

"Yes."

Igarashi Chinatsu was somewhat taken aback and asked:

"Don't you need to think about it? You type so fast?"

"I remember most authors writing very slowly, don't they?"

Kamidai Bai Feng explained:

"I've already figured out the plot, so writing it is naturally faster."

Igarashi Chinatsu said doubtfully:

"May I ask, how long did it take you to write that piece called 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas'?"

Shiro Shiro thought for a moment:

"About ten days."
