I finally decided on a novel called "Malakura ゥック? スクランブル" (The Girl in the Shell),

Many people used to confuse it with "The Girl in the Shell", but they are actually two completely different works.

"The Girl in the Shell" is a novel adapted from the trilogy of novels by Tomoyuki Ubukata, namely "Compression", "Burning" and "Exhaust".

Hui had just read it in her previous life, and she remembered all the plot and details clearly. All she needed to do was put it into words.

"Kara no Shoujo" is an ACG game that was later adapted into an OVA series of the same name.

Of course, there is no trilogy with Hui, only one novel, "The Girl in the Shell," which is divided into three volumes based on word count.

The reason for dividing the book into volumes is that the word count of each light novel in Japan is roughly the same, around 10 words. Books with this word count are neither too thick nor too thin, making them just the right size for people to hold and read.

Moreover, "The Girl in the Shell" is a medium-length novel, and the trilogy only has about 20 words in total.

"The Girl in the Shell" tells the story of a girl, her enemies, and her weapons.

The story takes place in a future where science and technology have advanced to a high level, but the world has been devastated by a previous war.

In summary, it's a story of a client attempting to kill a prostitute, who then seeks revenge.

However, what makes this story appealing is that, as a science fiction novel, its descriptions of future technologies are very accurate, and the various high-tech and cutting-edge technologies are very attractive.

Secondly, its protagonist is not the typical weak protagonist found in popular Japanese novels, who sits at home and suddenly gains immense power.

Then, the protagonist gains immense power, but instead of becoming ambitious, he's afraid of that power and tries every means to blend into the lives of ordinary people...

Hui still can't understand the protagonist's mentality. She herself is an ordinary person who has gained great power, but Hui has never thought of giving up power to become an ordinary person. Because Hui had half a foot in society in her previous life, she knows very well how powerless one would be in this world without power (any power, such as technology, talent, family background, money, etc.).

If you don't want to be the center of attention, you can always secretly use your own power to live a carefree life!

Giving up the power you might have earned through eight lifetimes of good fortune is... foolish, idiotic, and utterly useless!

However, the best-selling novels in Japan feature such useless protagonists. It is said that this is to enrich the protagonist's image, but it does not change the fact that the protagonist is a good-for-nothing, comparable to a good-for-nothing who cannot be helped!

Rune Barrot, the protagonist of "The Girl in the Shell," is different from the useless protagonists popular in current Japanese anime and manga works!

She possesses special powers, but these were earned through her brush with death.

She doesn't reject her own power either. Would she go back to being an ordinary person? Having witnessed the darkness of society, Balot had never thought of that.

Her troubles weren't about power, but about her own emotions. Moreover, she was a decisive and ruthless person.

This is also why Hui chose this novel.

Hui was disgusted enough by useless protagonists in her previous life, and she vowed never to write a protagonist like that again in this life.

With tens of millions of thoughts per second, Hui instantly transformed "The Girl in the Shell" into words in her mind, made some minor revisions in the second second, and started typing in the third second.

Da da da...

The average typing speed for a person is 50-80 words per minute. The average typing speed for a typist is over 160 words per minute, and the highest typing speed for a typist is over 200 words per minute, with some reaching over 300 words per minute.

Professionally trained stenographers can write 300 to 400 words per minute, exceeding the speed at which people speak.

If Hui were to obtain Misaka Mikoto's abilities, she could instantly manipulate hundreds of millions of electric vectors to immediately generate over 20 words of "The Girl in the Shell".

However, Hui typed by hand. Even though she could precisely control every movement of her typing and strive to type concisely and without any mistakes or hesitation, she still couldn't break through the limits of the human body.

Even so, it's already very fast, reaching about 300 words per minute.

Neon text rapidly generated on the laptop screen, then began to wrap to new lines...

Da da da...

It took Hui three hours to finish writing the entire book, which contains 302512 words and is divided into three volumes.

Why are there 100,000 more words?

Because it is now 2010, while "The Girl in the Shell" was written in 2003.

Seven years have passed, or rather, seven years in a parallel world of the information age. People's aesthetics, words, and grammar have changed, and all sorts of new ideas and concepts are emerging every day.

Works that can be accepted by many ordinary people regardless of their historical context... exist! But those are serious literature, or become traditional literature.

Serious literature can also make a lot of money, but the prerequisite is that you have qualifications and reputation in the industry, and in addition, you also have excellent writing skills and experience.

Therefore, no one would believe that a high school student could write any excellent traditional literary works.

For modern literature like light novels, there aren't as many rules and regulations, but at the very least, the book must conform to the reading habits of modern people.

Otherwise, you could just publish any bestselling novel from over a decade ago and it would become a huge hit!

Only Amakusa YY fans would dare to write like this!

Hui studied several of the world's most popular novels and learned from the experience of industry veterans.

The original novel was basically rewritten, and "The Girl in the Shell," full of Agasa Satoshi's style, was born in this world.

Hui opened her browser and accessed the website of Dengeki Bunko, a well-known Japanese publishing house.

I registered an account, then found the submission email address and sent the first 5 words of my content.

Then I lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

This parallel world's neon-lit Japan also boasts a thriving anime culture and a complete anime industry chain.

In order not to be eliminated by the information age in the 21st century, companies in the entire light novel industry have also followed the trend and established their own websites.

They encouraged anyone who loved novels or had writing ideas to submit their work. Although this only added hundreds or thousands of 'corpses' to the pool of submissions, it also led to the discovery of many potential writers.

However, Hui didn't care too much; she just wanted what was convenient for her.

At 8 p.m., Wagatsuma Kusato and Wagatsuma Misa returned home.

Meisha turned on the light and found no one in the room.

When I got to my daughter's room, the door wasn't locked.

Misa opened the door and went inside.

Grass Lantern asked from behind, "What's wrong?"

Misa put her finger to her lips and said, "Shh—".

Tell the grass lantern to be quiet.

Misa looked at her daughter lying on the bed, sleeping without any defenses, and at the open writing interface on her laptop. Her expression was gentle but also filled with heartache.

He whispered to the grass lamp, "My daughter is too tired on her first day of school. Let her sleep! I'll wake her up after I've finished cooking."

After saying that, Misa covered her daughter with a blanket and quietly left the room.

Cao Deng embraced his wife and replied with a soft "Mmm!"

Chapter 36 Taking a Bath

At nine o'clock in the evening, the streets of Aomori City were brightly lit, pedestrians were bustling about, and many vehicles passed by the neon lights.

On a cool summer night, a few passersby and couples sat on park benches, chatting and laughing as they enjoyed the cool air.

What a peaceful night!

Hui opened her beautiful, still slightly drowsy eyes and tucked the strands of hair that had fallen over them behind her ears.

She slowly straightened her graceful body and yawned.

Only then did I notice the blanket that had slipped off me.

Hui felt a warmth in her heart, knowing that her parents had returned.

I saw the alarm clock on the bedside table; it was already nine o'clock!

"Sigh, I've slept for two hours? I only wanted to take a ten-minute nap." Hui muttered to herself.

I turned on the light, tidied myself up a bit in front of the mirror, and then opened the door and went out.

"Hui, you're awake! I've already showered, the water should still be warm, go take a shower quickly." Misa was preparing dinner and said when she saw Hui come downstairs.

Taking a bath in Japan is a hassle, and the various customs seem very strange to Hui!

They take two kinds of baths: at home, they take a bath called "furo" (風宮), and outside in a bathhouse, they take a bath called "sentou" (賥湯).

The way Japanese people take a bath is quite different from that of Amakusa. First, they soak in the bathtub with some hot water, then take a shower outside, and finally go back into the bathtub to soak in hot water.

What's strange is that the hot water in the bathtub was used twice, and the whole family used the same tub of water.

Therefore, Japanese people usually take showers in a concentrated period of time; once you're done showering, I'll go in.

However, Soto loved his wife and daughter very much, and Misa and Kei would wash up first before Soto went to wash up last.

Besides sharing a bathtub, Japan is a peculiar country with a custom of family members bathing together.

Some fathers and daughters even bathe together until the daughter reaches adulthood.

However, the grass lantern also embraced modern ideas.

Father and daughter bathed together only before Hui was 3 years old, and never again after that.

However, Soubi felt that they should avoid suspicion, but Misa didn't think so at all. Even before that incident happened to the original owner, Misa often took baths with Kei.

Furthermore, Hui couldn't refuse, because the original owner had always bathed with her mother.

When Hui first transmigrated, she wanted to refuse to let her mother take a bath with her.

As a result, the disappointment and sadness on Misa's face made Hui unable to be ruthless, and Hui gradually got used to it.

During Hui's hospitalization, Hui had become numb to Misa wiping every corner of her body, not even sparing her most private parts, which were given special care by Misa.

Hui first picked up the nightgown she would wear after showering before entering the bathroom.

As soon as Hui entered the bathroom, she smelled a very pleasant fragrance, but she couldn't tell if it was her mother's scent or the smell of the shower gel.

"Hui, is the water getting cold?" came her mother's voice from outside.

"Uh!" Hui snapped out of her daze, reached out to test the water temperature, and replied, "It's not cold!"

Then, Hui began to take a bath skillfully. Bathing is much more troublesome for girls than for boys, but Hui's movements are now so standard that they could be described in a textbook.

To be honest, we were forced into this situation.

Misa was naturally gentle and virtuous, and at Tokyo Women's University, she inherited the excellent qualities of traditional Japanese women, such as taking care of almost all the housework after marriage, and being considerate and gentle...

However, on certain issues, Misa is very insistent.

For example, the way my daughter takes a bath.
