"Oh." Shiina Mahiru pouted, with a calm expression that said, "I know."

Lin Mu suddenly felt like a cat was scratching her heart. "What do you mean by this? So you still want me to be a good-for-nothing?"

Shiina Mahiru's eyes darted around as she retorted, "I didn't... Waaah!"

Lin Mu lowered his head and kissed her directly.

That girl just needs to be taught a lesson.

Although he is happy to live a leisurely life, he absolutely cannot be a good-for-nothing.

How can someone who's useless find other family members?

Shiina Mahiru looked at this scoundrel with tears in her eyes; she really couldn't take it anymore.

She couldn't help but begin to doubt herself.

How could someone as weak as me truly possess him?

Lin Mu didn't continue, but simply expressed his affection for the little angel, Mahiru.

Then I held her and we fell asleep together.

Of course, when he was close to the little angel Mahiru, he didn't forget to transfer his magic to her.

After all, only when she awakens her ability can her super regeneration be upgraded.

A win-win situation.

.........

the other side.

Asada Shino tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

She felt sad when she thought about what Lin Mu had told her.

Shino Asada has always carefully concealed the fact that she shot and killed a robber.

But one day, the news spread throughout the school and was even posted on the campus network.

Her best friend, who used to be her close friend, disappeared from her life, and her classmates, including her teachers, all looked at her with strange eyes.

They all treated her like a murderer and subjected her to various forms of emotional abuse.

Asada Shino was forced to move out of the school dormitory and rent a house outside by herself.

Because no one was willing to acknowledge her or help her.

She could only swallow her grievances.

They were blackmailed and extorted and had no power to resist.

She didn't understand what she had done wrong.

At that time, she was just a little girl who wanted to protect her mother, so she picked up the gun that the robber had dropped on the ground and, in a panic, managed to kill him.

She did nothing wrong; she simply picked up a weapon to protect herself and the others in the bank.

But why subject her to all sorts of emotional abuse?

Asada Shino was under a lot of pressure and often had nightmares. In her dreams, the robber would ask her with a ferocious expression why she killed him.

Now, she has learned that her secret was leaked by her only friend, Shinkawa Kyoji, and she immediately finds him terrifying.

That's disgusting.

Clutching her chest, Shino Asada let out a cold laugh.

She will no longer let such a despicable person deceive or hurt her.

Shaking her head, Shino Asada stopped thinking about that despicable person.

Lin Mu's handsome face flashed through the girl's mind.

"I need to find a chance to properly thank him."

A verbal thank you is not enough to express one's gratitude.

It seems I'll have to ask Shiina what Lin Mu likes.

Asada Shino wanted to prepare a gift to express her gratitude to Lin Mu.

If Shiina knew what Asada Shino was thinking, I wonder if she would become wary?

After all, you have to be careful of fire, theft, and your best friend.

Chapter 35: A Real-Life Light Novel Protagonist?

The next day.

When Lin Mu woke up, Shiina was no longer in his arms.

A slight noise came from the kitchen, where Shiina Mahiru, dressed in an apron, was humming a little tune as she prepared breakfast.

After the meal was prepared, Shiina Mahiru took off her apron and quietly returned to her room.

Looking at the man who was still sleeping, she bent down and gently poked his cheek with her small hand.

"Time to get up, you rascal. It's already morning. Don't forget you have important things to do today."

Without hesitation, Lin Mu opened his arms and gently wrapped them around the girl's slender waist.

He even rubbed his cheek against her chest, savoring her captivating fragrance and amazing softness.

"Ugh... Stop fooling around, the food won't taste good if it gets cold."

Shiina Mahiru blushed slightly as she watched his intimate actions.

She seemed to recall what happened last night, and suddenly felt a little shy again.

She nudged his chest with her little hand and couldn't help but scold him, "Stop being naughty, you really should get up."

Hearing her soft protest, Lin Mu finally released her with a pleased expression.

After getting up and washing up, he enjoyed the delicious meal prepared by Shiina-chan, which satisfied both his mind and body.

For a soul from another world like him, to have such a gentle and lovely person taking care of him is simply too wonderful.

Therefore, he must work even harder to maintain this happiness.

After breakfast, Lin Mu changed into a more casual outfit and raised an eyebrow at Shiina Mahiru.

"So, is it okay for me to wear this to meet the editor?"

Shiina Mahiru came up to her, gently straightened his sleeves, looked him over carefully for a few moments, and couldn't help but purse her lips.

"The only problem is that you attract too many men. I really wish you were less attractive."

That way, he'll be all by himself.

Perhaps I could feed him nutritious meals every day.

Let him get fat!

That way, no other girl will look at him with those watery eyes like Asada does.

Lin Mu smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"Okay, I'm heading out now. I'll probably come to the convenience store this afternoon to work with you."

Shiina Mahiru nodded shyly, then said with concern:

"You're already a light novel author, and you still want to come work with me? Won't that affect your job?"

"It won't affect anything. I was just there to discuss the novel contract. It represents my future position in the company, and I can't expect to get the money right away."

“Working at a convenience store is different. You get paid as soon as you finish your work, and it’s easy.”

"Besides, I'm worried about you working there by yourself. What if a lecherous guy like Kurata sets his sights on you? I have to keep an eye on you!"

Upon hearing this, Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but pout.

"I'm not that weak, okay? I've studied Aikido."

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow, looking at her with amusement.

"Then why didn't you use Aikido to deal with me when I attacked you?"

Shiina Mahiru, embarrassed and annoyed, punched him lightly with her little fist and said irritably:

"How dare you say that? You took advantage of her vulnerability and did that to her without her even realizing it."

Lin Mu grasped her little fist, kissed it, and then couldn't help but gently hug Shiina-san and tenderly stroke her golden hair.

"Yes, I'm the worst. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you."

"Tell me about what happened that day, once you've thought it through."

"kindness."

The girl nodded slightly, feeling his presence and her heartbeat quickening unconsciously.

It was a strong sense of security that fascinated her.

"Well then, I'm heading out now. See you later."

Lin Mu patted her little head again, taking the first step towards becoming the king of light novels.

……

After Lin Mu left, Shiina Mahiru originally planned to team up with Aoyama Nanami to go to the convenience store.

However, Aoyama Nanami smiled and refused, as she was going to take an exam at a voice actor training agency that day.

……

Upon arriving at Lin Mu's location, he took a tram to Akihabara, entered a maid café, and found an empty seat to sit down.

After ordering a coffee, I figured I still had some time, so I took out my laptop and started typing.

Soon.

Machida Sonoko, with whom he had arranged to meet, finally arrived.

Upon seeing Lin Mu's appearance, Machida Sonoko's eyes lit up.

What a handsome guy!

With black hair and black eyes, a tall and upright figure, he exudes a mature aura.

He's like a male protagonist straight out of a comic book.

Perhaps, the male protagonist in his light novels is modeled after himself?

Machida Sonoko took a deep breath and approached Lin Mu with a smile.

"Hello, you must be Ms. Twilight Sky. I am Machida Sonoko, the editor in charge of Shinazugawa Bunko. It's nice to meet you."

After speaking, the short-haired beauty in a black business suit and a pencil skirt extended her fair hand to Lin Mu.

Lin Mu smiled and nodded, then politely shook her hand in return.

"I am Lin Mu, pen name Mu Se Tian Qiong. Ms. Machida, nice to meet you."

Chapter 36: The Best Treatment

After getting acquainted for a bit, Machida Sonoko sat down opposite Lin Mu.

"Well then, Mr. Twilight Sky, I have carefully read your submission."

I believe your work has great potential, so I'm considering signing you. Do you have any other specific requirements regarding your work?

Faced with the editor's question, Lin Mu smiled calmly and replied, "I only hope that the comic adaptation rights and film and television adaptation rights of this work will be retained. If a comic is to be published in the future, the comic artist to be adapted into the comic will be selected through me."

Upon hearing this, Machida Sonoko raised an eyebrow. "Of course, we greatly respect the rights of writers. The adaptation rights naturally belong to you, Mr. Twilight Sky."

"Seeing how confident you are in your work, I'm sure our future collaboration will be very pleasant."

"Haha, then I'll take your kind words, Ms. Machida."

Lin Mu smiled and pushed his computer towards her, "Actually, I'm already preparing to write the second volume. You can take a look at my beginning and outline to judge the potential of my work."

"This is my first time writing, so I'll leave things like signing a contract and promoting my work to you, Ms. Machida."
