Girls, welcome to the Desire Bus

She clung to him tightly, as if she would die of loneliness if they were separated for even a moment.

Tianchuan Liang put his arm around her waist naturally.

And Maekawa Anna just moaned softly and then obeyed.

"How are you thinking about the career discussion I told you about before?"

Anna Maekawa blushed a little.

After Amakawa Ryo said the four words "career discussion", Maekawa Anna immediately thought of the madness that happened in the classroom not long ago.

"Um...I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly."

Tianchuan Liang smiled and poked her forehead.

But, it’s not her fault.

Even the icy Yuko Takahashi has become like that.

What's more, there is Anna Maekawa.

"Since you didn't hear it clearly, I'll say it again."

Afterwards, Ryo Amagawa recounted the content of the career discussion.

When Anna Maekawa heard that Kadokawa Bookstore was soliciting essays, her eyes suddenly widened.

"Eh?!"

"Writing contest...means writing...novels?"

Chapter 17: A Different Life

Although Anna Maekawa keeps everything in her heart, Ryo Amagawa's life script accurately captures everything about her.

When Anna Maekawa was a child, her favorite thing was to write some imaginative things.

The love story of the mermaid princess, love that transcends time and space, or the couple supporting each other in a doomsday environment, etc.

At that time, although Anna Maekawa's writing style was immature and her ideas were immature, she enjoyed it every time.

Sometimes, I would immerse myself in it, imagining that I was the protagonist in the story, entering the palace of love with the handsome prince charming.

“When I grow up, I want to be a great writer!”

"A great writer who is even more famous than Jun'ichi Watanabe!"

Sometimes, her parents don't understand this hobby.

What's the point of writing all that crap on paper? I should study hard, get admitted to Kyoto Prefectural University, and study medicine.

After all, doctors are considered a high-income group in Japan.

At that time, Anna Maekawa still had some rebellious mentality, so she didn't take her parents' words to heart.

But when they died in a car accident, Maekawa Anna buried her hobby completely in her heart.

Studying hard and getting into a good university in the future became her life goal.

But the dream hidden in the heart is like a seed buried in the soil.

There will be a day when it breaks through the ground.

And Tianchuan Liang helped her.

When she heard about the essay contest, Anna Maekawa's eyes immediately widened.

【Writing...Write a novel...】

[But I have already promised my parents in front of their graves that I will never write a novel again...]

【Put all your energy into studying. 】

【I...can't do this.】

After hearing what Maekawa Anna was thinking, Amakawa Ryo frowned slightly.

It seems that the blockage in Anna Maekawa's heart is still very serious and needs further unblocking.

However, some things cannot be rushed.

Otherwise, not only would it be impossible to complete the copy, but Anna Maekawa might also become twisted and become the fuel of the Desire Bus.

"Of course, this time the essay contest will take a long time, about a month."

"Don't worry, think about it carefully."

As they walked, Tianchuan Liang thought of something and spoke.

"correct."

"Since the essay is still hesitant... I still have a part-time job here."

"Are you interested?"

Anna Maekawa blinked her big eyes beautifully.

"What kind of job is that?"

“Will it interfere with my studies?”

This girl.

The time spent working has seriously encroached on her normal sleep, and she is extremely busy every day.

As a result, I was still wondering if it would affect my studies.

If I was really worried, I wouldn't have taken a job in the first place.

"Of course it won't delay."

Tianchuan Liang chuckled and stroked her soft face.

"Didn't I just say that I know an editor at Kadokawa Bookstore?"

"She told me that there have been too many toilet paper novels about another world in recent years, and Kadokawa Bookstore's sales have also been affected."

"For this essay contest, Kadokawa intends to change its reputation. They have opened up many projects and offer a lot of prize money."

"As for me...I am confident in my writing skills, so I plan to try to participate."

"However, I need to work during the day, and I only have time at night."

"So, I want to hire a proofreader to help me correct typos and polish the content."

"For a month... well... I'd give about 500,000."

The moment Anna Maekawa heard the offer, her eyes widened.

【Oh my God! 】

【Five, five hundred thousand?!】

[Is proofreading and editing work so profitable?! ]

[If I remember correctly, even for students graduating from medical school, their annual salary during training is only around 500 to 600 million.]

【so much...】

Ryo Amakawa's offer really shocked Anna Maekawa.

Of course, normal proofreading and polishing would not cost that much money.

50 a month was just a friendly price that Tianchuan Liang offered her.

"How about it, do you want to try it?"

Ryo Amagawa offered an offer that Anna Maekawa couldn't refuse.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"I don't know...if I can do this job."

"After all, the reward is so high, what should I do if I don't do a good job?"

Ryo Amakawa held Anna Maekawa in his arms and fiddled with her lips.

"You'll know after you try it."

"Are you free tonight?"

"It just so happens that I wrote an article a while ago. You can try to polish it and treat it as an interview."

"If everything goes well, you can officially start work tomorrow."

Anna Maekawa even gave her body to him, so she naturally trusts Ryo Amakawa.

The only hesitation is whether I am capable of doing the job and whether I am worthy of the monthly salary of 50.

However, just as Ryo Amakawa said.

Go try it first!

"Well... sorry to bother you so much."

Ryo Amakawa chuckled, and he and Anna Maekawa changed direction and came to a station.

Immediately, Tianchuan Liang snapped his fingers.

The Desire Bus drove all the way from the end of the dark street and stopped in front of the two people.

And Ryo Amagawa, holding the hand of Anna Maekawa, boarded the Bus of Desire.

All the other people waiting for the bus continued to play with their phones or chat in groups of two or three, as if they didn't see the bus.

Until the Desire Bus disappears into the hazy night.

Anna Maekawa and Ryo Amakawa were sitting in the second to last row.

A two-seater, Anna Maekawa sat inside and Ryo Amakawa sat outside.

On the way, Tianchuan Liang suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, you'd better tell your uncle about your job away from home."

"After all, there's a chance you won't be able to get home at night."

When she heard that she couldn't go home, Maekawa Anna's face turned red.

After all, this happened today, and I went to his house after school.

To say that nothing happened would be sheer self-deception.

But if you don't come home overnight...

Will my uncle be angry?

At this moment, perhaps because of the reason she had given her body to someone else, Maekawa Anna suddenly remembered what her best friends had said.

"You should think about yourself."

"Everyone will die sooner or later anyway, so why not live it up while you're still alive?"

"Besides, your parents have been burned to ashes. Even if you really give up being yourself for them... they don't know."

"What do you say?"

Anna Maekawa recalled everything that happened with Ryo Amakawa after school.

The kind of crispness that penetrates into the bone marrow and makes even the deepest honey pot buzz.

Every time she hit the honeypot, her brain would feel numb and all her troubles would be forgotten.

Parents' last wishes, economic pressure...

At that moment, she was really happy.

After thinking for a long time, Maekawa Anna finally took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Shufu.

The content is also very simple.

I'm going to check out a new job today and might be back late, so I told my uncle that he doesn't need to leave any food for her.

After sending the message, Maekawa Anna sighed heavily and gripped the phone tightly.

And Tianchuan Liang who was beside her pressed her hand just right.

Comfort her.
