Chapter Sixteen: Back to School! Kasumigaoka-kun is back!

A Certain Magical Index

In its previous life, this book was a landmark in the history of light novels!

With cumulative sales exceeding 31 million copies, it is a giant that ranks among the top three in the entire history of light novels.

The sheer size and far-reaching influence of the industry chain derived from it—including comics, animations, games, radio dramas, and theatrical versions—are truly terrifying.

The popularity and commercial value of just one spin-off, "A Certain Scientific Railgun," surpasses 99% of the "hot works" on the market.

The character Misaka Mikoto, also known as Railgun, has created a legend by dominating the "World Moe" rankings for many consecutive years.

And now, this monument, its complete design drawings, world view setting, character biographies, and refined drafts, lie completely in Seiji Fujiwara's mind.

"A timely help!"

Seiji Fujiwara smiled.

"6 Days, 6 People, 6 Guns" has been on the market for half a month, and the sales hype is almost over.

To date, 30 copies have been sold throughout Japan, and Shinazugawa anticipates that final sales will reach 50 copies.

But this can take several years.

Generally speaking, this is when an author should begin preparing for a new book.

Seiji Fujiwara, of course, wouldn't just sit around doing nothing, so he used this "A Certain Magical Index" to switch to the realm of long-form novels.

His debut with dark-themed short stories has already established his considerable popularity.

The following longer works, as long as they are of good quality, will definitely achieve remarkable results.

And the quality of "A Certain Magical Index" is definitely not bad.

With this thought in mind, Seiji Fujiwara no longer hesitated. He got up, dried himself off, and went into the study.

Turn on the laptop.

Start typing out what's in your mind.

……

……

The next day.

Kyoto Minato Ward, 7:00 AM.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting golden rays into the restaurant.

Seiji Fujiwara sat in the head seat, leisurely eating his breakfast.

"Not bad, but there's a lot of room for improvement," Seiji Fujiwara commented as he ate.

Breakfast was naturally prepared by Shiyu.

In a typical sugar daddy relationship, these things are unnecessary, since who would expect their lover to provide for their three meals a day?

But Seiji Fujiwara offered 500,000 yen, far exceeding the market price.

Then Shiyu naturally has more to do.

"Yes, I will practice."

Across from him, Kasumigaoka Utaha was also eating breakfast, responding calmly.

She was already wearing the Toyonosaki Academy school uniform.

A white short-sleeved shirt, a red and black plaid pleated skirt, and her signature black stockings accentuated her stunningly long and straight legs.

Today is the second day since Shiyu officially moved in.

At this moment, the struggle and hatred she had shown at the beginning were gone from her face; in their place was a calm.

Having experienced Fujiwara Seiji's numerous and intense attacks, Utaha has become somewhat desensitized and is able to remain calm most of the time.

Even if they feel disgusted and resistant, they can suppress their instincts and properly fulfill the requirements of the contract.

Once that contract was signed, there was no turning back.

Resistance is pointless.

What she has to do now is fulfill her contract and play her role well until she is released after serving her sentence.

While thinking about it.

Shi Yu's thoughts drifted back to a few days ago.

That was when she picked up her mother from the hospital and settled her into a new apartment.

The mother remained silent, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she asked, "Shiyu, where did the money come from?"

Her surgery costs a considerable sum.

The family's savings were long gone. Where did Shiyu, an adult, get so much money?

Could you arrange a new apartment for her?

"Mom, don't worry, I've got a boyfriend."

Shiyu took a deep breath and calmly told the lie she had prepared beforehand.

She tried to make her voice sound steady, deliberately adding a touch of girlish shyness, even though her acting was so bad that she felt disgusted with herself.

"His name is Seiji Fujiwara, and he's our neighbor."

“He is very capable. He recently made a lot of money, and after learning about our family’s difficulties, he took the initiative to help us.”

"By the way, the night you fainted, he was the one who helped call an ambulance to take you to the hospital."

Kasumigaoka closed her eyes upon hearing this, her expression sorrowful.

I couldn't bear to look at my daughter's forcedly relaxed expression.

It's not that simple.

Just one point!

Why did Shiyu not stay with her after she was discharged from the hospital, but instead stay somewhere else?

There is only one answer.

That's not a relationship, that's a transaction!

Her daughter sold her body!

Tears welled up in Shi Yu's mother's eyes as she was overwhelmed by regret and self-blame.

But what can she do?

Should we go and question Seiji Fujiwara?

Should we call the police?

And then what? Losing such medical and living conditions, taking on the enormous debt that could crush a family again, will plunge the daughter into despair once more?

Moreover, with such a large sum of money, there would definitely be something they could use against their daughter, making it impossible for her to escape easily.

All she could do was cooperate.

Shi Yu's mother choked up, like a mother who was overjoyed that her daughter had found a good home, and nodded, saying, "That's good... As long as he is truly good to you, Mom can rest assured..."

"He's fine, Mom."

Shiyu turned and held her mother's hand, forcing a smile and gently comforting her, "He respects me very much, and we get along very well. Just stay here and recover. When you're better, I'll bring him to visit you."

This is of course a lie.

But to live, one needs lies.

Moreover, in terms of material conditions, Seiji Fujiwara certainly did not mistreat his daughter.

……

……

"What are you thinking about?"

Seiji Fujiwara's voice awakened Utaha from her memories.

"It's nothing," Shi Yu quickly composed herself and answered in a low voice.

"Really?" Fujiwara Seiji didn't seem to care. He wiped his mouth, stood up, and said, "Call me when you're done eating, we'll go to school."

"Yes."

Shiyu picked up the sandwich and began to eat it in small bites.

Meanwhile, Seiji Fujiwara went into his study and continued typing away at "A Certain Magical Index".

This workload is considerable.

Moreover, when Seiji Fujiwara acquires a work, he also simultaneously gains the inspiration and creative experience of the original author.

There are differences in the creative approach taken in the early and later stages of "A Certain Magical Index".

The later volumes are more complete.

At the same time, it also aligns with the development of the times and the tastes of readers.

Seiji Fujiwara naturally wanted to achieve perfection, so he made minor adjustments to the earlier chapters, which is why it took him longer to write than for his previous work, "6 Days, 6 People, 6 Guns".

Of course, he wasn't in a hurry.

"6 Days, 6 People, 6 Guns" is still on sale, and the editorial department hasn't urged him to publish the next book.

'Are you writing a novel?'

Shiyu's gaze fell on Fujiwara Seiji, a complex mix of emotions flashing in her eyes.

She had also considered writing novels.

Unfortunately, his father's accident disrupted all the plans.

'That book, *Six Days, Six Men, Six Guns*, is really well-written… I can't believe it was written by that bastard Seiji Fujiwara!'

Shi Yu cursed inwardly.

She also bought it and read it, and was amazed by its conception and writing.

But the thought of the author's real-life scumbag nature makes me feel a painful, jarring pain.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I still have to clean up the lunchbox after I finish eating." Shiyu shook her head and focused on the breakfast in front of her.

She not only provided breakfast, but also took care of Seiji Fujiwara's three meals a day.

……

……

Meanwhile, undercurrents were already swirling within Toyonosaki Academy.

Inside Class 2B of Grade 11, a discussion about "Kasumigaoka Utaha" is underway.

"Kasumigaoka-kun has been on leave for almost two weeks now, right? The forum is practically in an uproar."
