I really don't want to be reborn.

Is such a thing true?

He had a cold last week, and he was in a daze during that time, unable to remember some things: "Oh, I'll try my best."

The other party maintained an even more polite tone than a telephone operator: "It's not a matter of trying, please be sure to submit the manuscript before that time."

Ugh.

Kyosuke urgently needs money, and his otherworldly tale won't be published for another month or so. Before getting involved in some shady dealings, Kyosuke happens to see that a magazine needs a writer.

Short stories naturally don't earn much money.

Hmm... I'll just make do this month. If things really don't work out, I'll think of something else. Anyway, I won't starve.

Thinking this, Kyosuke absentmindedly replied, "Hmm..."

The woman could tell that the sound was too perfunctory.

An editor named Kazaoka Mari forced herself not to slam the phone, telling herself that there was no benefit in doing so.

"Oh, right..."

The boy on the other end of the phone suddenly seemed puzzled and hesitant, as if he had thought about it for a long time before asking a crucial question.

"who are you?"

"..."

The atmosphere on both ends of the phone froze instantly. The evening breeze was a little chilly against the neck, but even the coldest evening wind couldn't chill the woman's two laughs squeezed from the deepest part of her throat: "Ha, ha..."

I'm really about to slam the phone down!

I can't stand this idiot anymore!

Just before she was about to explode, Kyosuke Kosaka stammered as he tried to salvage the situation, finally remembering, "Oh... Editor Kazaoka, right?"

"Dudu-"

Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about something so important.

After the editor angrily hung up the phone, Kyosuke Kosaka apologized to the air, seemingly without any remorse.

Speaking of which, he actually had some impression of Kazaoka Mari. This young woman was a magazine editor at Kaisakusha, the industry leader in the publishing world.

Calling her a novice is not entirely accurate, but she's not old enough to be called a "veteran" either.

Among her colleagues of the same age, she has been promoted the fastest and is already a candidate for the next editor-in-chief.

She was a complete workaholic; her passion for her work was so great that no one ever saw her resting.

Oh dear, it looks like I'm going to be resented by the big boss.

Especially since the boss is a woman.

But who cares...

He has a very easygoing and peaceful mindset, and he tries his best to make himself happy. If a person can live in a state of ease and happiness at any time, that is something to be happy about.

As he walked past the roadside, he noticed a car's windshield wipers making a "squeaking" sound as they scraped against the windshield, perhaps because they were nearing the end of their lifespan. In the past, this might have annoyed him, but now he even found the sound somewhat musical.

Kyosuke suddenly thought of his sister, and his cheerful mood suddenly turned somber.

What is that guy doing right now?

Are you still playing games without a care in the world?

Would he kick down his own bedroom door and whisper something stupid like, "If you don't come back soon, it's going to snow"?

Just as he was thinking of Kirino, her call came through, and the moment she spoke, Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to throw the phone down.

"Have you finished weaving the poem?"

Listen to this!

This is what she cares about all day long!

As expected of his sister who follows her desires, Kirino Kousaka, well done!

"Ah, Shizhi thread?"

After going through the plot of "Fall in Love with My Sister" in my mind, I pondered for a moment: "Hmm... I think the second half of that story is pretty good."

"Oh?"

Kirino's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Kyosuke Kosaka expertly interrupted his sister's excited outburst: "Have you eaten?"

"I just finished eating... Tell me your thoughts on Shiori's storyline."

He sighed inwardly, his tone unchanged: "For example, that, that, the siblings' relationship was opposed by their parents, Shiori ran away from home, and then the protagonist chased after her... that scene where the two looked at each other in the sunset."

It was one of the prototypes for the famous sibling romance game "Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka" three years later!

Upon hearing this answer, the younger sister fell silent.

Her breathing became slightly rapid.

Kyosuke continued, "We can talk about that later. Let me ask you a question first: how are things going with Kuroneko and Saori lately?"

"Ah...they."

Have you become good friends?

"Hmph, calling them friends is an understatement, they're more like chat partners! Anyway, we do communicate, and they've taught me a lot of things I didn't know before, which has been quite useful."

He smiled and said, "Still saying we're not friends? How arrogant."

"Stop nagging!"

Kirino has this kind of personality, especially towards her otaku friends. She is particularly straightforward and doesn't mind showing her worst side at all.

Have you arranged the next in-person meeting?

"Well, the dead cat lives nearby, but the big one is a bit far. I guess the next offline event will also be in Akihabara. Oh well, I might as well go..."

He opened the door to his current home and turned on the lights: "The black cat lives very close to me. I even saw her taking her two younger sisters out to play today—Kirino, why aren't you saying anything?"

The younger sister's voice became soft and gentle: "Brother, when are you moving back?"

Sigh, there's a long review in the book review section, and the long review is actually lesbian?

I'm going to boil some dumplings now and see if I can find a few razor blades inside.

Book recommendation, this time from a big name.

September's "I Became a Light Novel Master in Japan" is an extremely long book, already reaching 1.3 million words.

The following is a brief description: [This is not a plagiarized work; it belongs to the anime/anime isekai (otherworld) genre.]

This is a creative world with girls, novelists, old thieves and those who urge for updates, and manga artists, and all these elements are combined to create a passionate story similar to the "Monogatari" series.

————————————————————

Note: This book is a novel that blends action and slice-of-life elements, with a focus on action and supernatural themes. It has a unique style and will adapt everyday anime into something extraordinary. I hope you enjoy it.

(The author, September Ink, currently has two completed and signed books: "The Record of the Eastern Immortals" (240 million words) and "The Taoist Student and the Onmyoji Girl" (70 words).

Who is Chapter Three talking about? Who is the loser?

"Hmm, you mean he's moved out of his house now?"

"Yes, it seems to be because of some conflict with his father..."

"That sounds pretty rebellious."

"No, that's not it. He had a conflict with his father about education, and the core of the conflict was his very annoying younger sister..."

After typing these words, Kasumigaoka Utaha realized that her tone was a bit resentful, so she quickly tried to salvage the situation: "The recent incidents are all related to his sister. He's a very siscon."

This attempt at remediation is actually even more resentful.

The girl on the other end of the computer seemed to understand: "Oh, it's because of that kind of thing. He does sound like a really nice older brother."

"nature."

"But this situation actually has its advantages for you too."

"Huh? He's so busy trying to make ends meet that we hardly have time to be together anymore, and he's been doing far fewer club activities. What kind of benefit is that?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha is talking to one of her few friends.

She didn't know when, but a trend of dating websites started to emerge, and familiar and unfamiliar people began to appear in her field of vision.

After the initial novelty wore off, she no longer felt happy about being noticed; instead, she felt a sense of loss.

In the beginning, she wrote some diaries and personal emotional logs online. At that time, she was full of worries and used all kinds of gorgeous or poignant words to record "the bits and pieces of life".

But she's not in the mood for that now, and her online friendships have all vanished, except for a blonde erotic artist.

The two had a very good relationship and had even met in person before.

A few days ago, Kasumigaoka Utaha rarely complained during a chat, and the other party claimed to be a love expert and offered to give her advice. Now he's busy doing that.

"Wouldn't that make it easier for you to pursue him?"

Upon seeing this sentence, Shi Yu felt as if firecrackers had exploded in her head, and she stammered, "Chase...chase? Why...why should I be the one chasing him?"

"..."

The golden-haired artist sighed knowingly: "I almost forgot, you probably don't know how to pursue men."

The implication is that she is very knowledgeable.

Kasumigaoka Utaha said righteously, "Let's just forget about it. I think our relationship is fine as it is. There's no need to be together like a couple every day. Doesn't that get annoying?"

The more she spoke, the more cynical her smile became: "I'm not his sister whose brain is full of hormones. Tsk, such a brother-obsessed person is disgusting!"

The love expert: "Eek."

Artsy women are really not to be trifled with.

Shi Yu was inexplicably irritable and had a bad temper.

In addition, due to her period, she also lost her temper at home. Her mother has been avoiding her lately. After subtly inquiring about her daughter's troubles, her mother actually smiled and told her to take the initiative to confess her feelings.
