Crossover Anime: The Heroine is in Trouble? I Take Advantage of the Situation

Like a drowning person grasping at a straw, she clicked into the artwork display page.

She wants to see!

Let's see if any readers can appreciate her work!

Perhaps, "Love Metronome" is a high-quality, niche genre?

Holding onto almost impossible expectations.

Shi Yu quickly found her work to be published.

However, looking at the comments section...

Her heart sank immediately.

The first comment reads: "Is this some kind of pretentious, artsy 'artsy' thing? Did the author wander into the wrong movie?"

'What do you know! This is subtlety! This is writing style!' Shi Yu retorted loudly in her heart.

The second comment read: "I fell asleep twice after reading three pages. Is the author a hypnotist? Please, the light novel market is so competitive right now, can't you at least look at how others write before you start writing?"

"That's because you're all too restless; you can't calm your minds to appreciate the beauty of words!" Shi Yu bit her lip hard.

The third comment reads: "This can be called 'Love Metronome'? I felt like my heart was about to stop. The whole thing is just the protagonist's inner monologue, so drawn out and tedious, it's killing me to read. Can't we have some real conflict and plot development?"

Shi Yu was struck dumb, speechless for a long time.

The fourth and latest comment is the most vicious: "Haha, I'm dying of laughter! I declare that the 'Most Boring Work Award' for this year's competition has been won! Congratulations to 'Kasumi Shiko' teacher! You have successfully killed my enthusiasm for reading light novels! Go back to writing your pure literature and stop poisoning light novel readers!"

That last comment was like a knife, stabbing her heart deeply.

Just then, a "ding-dong" sound came from inside.

A notification for a new email popped up in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

From: [Kadokawa Essay Contest Organizing Committee].

"An email from the organizing committee?"

When Shi Yu saw the sender, she was stunned for a moment, and then a faint light appeared in her eyes.

'Did they realize they made a mistake? Are they going to explain it to me?'

She excitedly opened the email.

The contents of the email plunged her into despair.

[Dear Teacher Xia Shizi:]

【Hello.】

Thank you so much for participating in this year's Kadokawa Fantasy Poetry Award. We have read your submission, "Love Metronome."

First of all, we must acknowledge that your writing skills are very solid, your style is elegant, and your emotional descriptions are quite delicate, demonstrating your excellent foundation as a creator.

However, after a comprehensive evaluation by our editorial team, we regret to conclude that your work falls short of the current demands of the light novel market in terms of pacing, plot conflict, and commercial appeal. Simply put, your work is "not interesting enough" and lacks the motivation to keep readers reading chapter after chapter.

To help promising new authors like yourself grow, our editorial team has compiled a reading list for you, which may inspire your writing. We wish you continued success in your future writing endeavors.

[Attached: Recommended Reading List]

Shi Yu trembled as she moved the mouse and clicked on the attachment.

A book list was clearly presented before her.

1. "About the incident where I was reincarnated as a slime and ended up being used as food reserves by the Demon Lord"

2. "My Senior Can't Be a Sadistic Queen, Absolutely Not!"

3. Is it wrong to try and pick up girls in a dungeon but end up getting hacked to pieces by a yandere goddess?

4. My online game wife is an overpowered heroine, but in real life she's my mute sister.

All of them were works she looked down upon, works with sensationalist titles and shallow, explicit content that had no substance!

But these works that she looked down upon were actually recommended as model works for study?

Shi Yu's face turned pale and then flushed.

It felt like I'd been slapped hard; my cheek stung.

……

That night.

Shi Yu was completely lost and dejected. She didn't even resist the things she hated most, like being hugged and touched during meals.

He looked completely lifeless, letting Fujiwara Seiji do as he pleased.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Seeing her so dejected, Seiji Fujiwara lost interest as well.

In the following days, the flag of truce was raised high.

Let Shiyu get some rest.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Shi Yu, You Need to Take the Initiative, You Need to Put Your Heart into It

For three whole days, Shiyu moved around the apartment like a ghost.

It wasn't until the evening of the fourth day that Shiyu recovered. She brought a cup of brewed black tea to Fujiwara Seiji in the living room.

Unlike the previous days, she didn't leave after putting down the tea; instead, she stood quietly to the side.

"Looks like you've made up your mind?" Seiji Fujiwara looked up, a smile that revealed his unsurprised expression.

"……Um."

Shi Yu nodded, her expression somber, and said in a low voice, "That... thirty million..."

The moment she said those words, Shi Yu's cheeks flushed and her breathing became slightly rapid.

Thinking back to just a week ago, I was so confident that I would make money through my creative work, and I was so dismissive of Seiji Fujiwara's evaluation.

Then reality gave her a hard punch.

She could only slink back to where she started, bowing her head to Seiji Fujiwara once more. This disparity made her feel incredibly embarrassed and ashamed.

“I’ve always had 30 million ready for you,” Fujiwara Seiji said with a smile.

This calm and gentle tone made Shi Yu pause for a moment.

She expected to be ridiculed, but she wasn't.

This made her secretly relieved, and she felt a strange sense of gratitude towards Seiji Fujiwara, a slight crack appearing in her heart.

However, Shiyu was unaware of this at the time.

"Sit down." Seiji Fujiwara gestured to the sofa opposite him.

Shi Yu obediently sat down, her posture honest and well-behaved.

“I can give you the money.” Seiji Fujiwara leaned back on the sofa, smiling at her. “But our contract needs to be upgraded. There are three new conditions.”

"Go ahead," Shi Yu nodded, her expression serious.

"Condition one: From today onwards, you will no longer be my short-term sugar daddy, but my eternal lover. There is no time limit, until I get tired of you."

This condition was within her expectations.

Shi Yu sighed inwardly, realizing she couldn't escape her fate of being a caged bird. But after three days of 'calm' reflection, she had made up her mind.

Therefore, he remained calm and nodded to Seiji Fujiwara without showing any change in expression.

"no problem."

“Hello, condition two,” Fujiwara Seiji’s gaze became somewhat amused, his eyes glancing casually behind her, “your body must be further opened to me. For example… that place you’ve always refused to open to me must also be completely unobstructed.”

Feeling Seiji Fujiwara's gaze, Shiho's face flushed red to the roots of her ears.

She instantly recalled how many times before, Fujiwara Seiji's fingers would intentionally or unintentionally linger and hover over the door behind him.

This man has been eyeing that place covetously for a long time!

A strong sense of shame and anger welled up inside her, but she also understood that since they were already lovers, this kind of thing... was only natural.

After all, this is also part of the fun that many couples enjoy together.

So even though her cheeks were burning, Shiyu still blushed and nodded in agreement: "...Okay!"

Fujiwara Seiji was delighted to see her agree.

He had been looking forward to this for a long time; it would be a completely different experience from direct conquest.

"Condition three, and the most important one. From now on, when serving me, you must be proactive!" Fujiwara Seiji suppressed his burning desire and continued with the third condition.

Shi Yu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in confusion, "Am I not cooperative enough?"

In her view, she had already abandoned all her reserve and shame, and was completely obedient to him.

Except for certain projects that are simply unacceptable.

She did everything that Fujiwara Seiji asked her to do.

Seiji Fujiwara shook his head leisurely, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "The word 'cooperate' itself implies passivity and reluctance."

"What I need is your initiative and dedication, understand?"

Shi Yu looked bewildered.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Seiji Fujiwara gave an example: "Just think of yourself as a 'tool' in those doujinshi, existing to please the master."

"When providing services, my enjoyment should be the top priority."

"Leverage your strengths, proactively think, learn, and improve, and develop new skills that will bring me more joy, understand?"

I understand.

These words made Shi Yu's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

Should we encourage her to learn those... those shameless things?

This humiliated her more than ordering her to do anything.

But then, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in Shiyu's heart.

What right do I have to talk about dignity now?

After a moment of silence, Shi Yu sighed softly, completely letting go of her pride.

She nodded bitterly, "Yes, I understand."

"Very good." Seiji Fujiwara was very satisfied with her understanding and tact.

“Then, as the first lesson of the new contract,” he pointed to the ground in front of him, “let’s start with the basics.”

Well known.

There are techniques involved in performing a painless gastroscopy.

With just a little adjustment to your breathing and a relaxed throat, this invasive examination can be easily completed once you master the technique.

This technique is not only used in gastroscopy.

It can also be used in other areas.

……

……

The following morning, Kasumigaoka Utaha awoke slowly.

Thinking of the humiliating teaching experience last night, and how I had shamelessly catered to her.

"Tsk..."

Shi Yu clicked her tongue in annoyance, then looked somewhat surprised.

If it were before, she would have been filled with shame and indignation by now, curled up in bed crying, and wouldn't have been in the mood for the whole morning.
