Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

Feeling panicked, Subaru Natsuki couldn't help but test whether Lord Roma in front of him was a human or a ghost - but when he heard Lord Roma's serious response and a tone without any doubts, the boy's mood was more complicated than ever. .

Something's wrong......Is the assassination all a dream?So when is it a dream and when is it not a dream?

More and more complex thoughts lingered in his mind, and the young man's eyebrows frowned slightly unconsciously.

And it was at the moment when Natsuki Subaru was thinking a lot that Lord Rom finally spoke, interrupting the young man's thinking:

Tong: "Let's not talk about anything else...little brother, what are you here for?"

"........"

Hearing what Lord Rom said, Natsuki Subaru immediately reacted and explained his purpose: He came here to find a badge with gems.

Emilia's stolen badges were traded here, and Natsuki Subaru at least wanted to take this away.

After hearing these words, Master Rom, who understood what the boy meant, gently held his chin and said that this thing should be in the hands of a girl named Felt, but whether he could buy it back was another matter. .

Upon hearing the situation, Natsuki Subaru immediately raised his hand gently and said that he wanted to exchange something for something——

At this time, the traditional performance of the time traveler begins.

Picking up a bag of potato chips, Natsuki Subaru began to sell this snack to Mr. Rom.

After Master Rom inhaled the crunchy potato chips, Felt returned to this small hotel——

Just as Mr. Rom said, the badge was indeed in Felt's hand. Seeing the situation, Natsuki Subaru once again had an idea and took out the mobile phone on his body, determined to barter again.

According to the young man, the common mobile phone is a magic weapon that can freeze the time of all things and is worth a lot of money.

Under Natsuki Subaru's deception, Lord Rom and Felt were completely blinded. They all focused on the boy and watched him demonstrate the camera function of his mobile phone.

When they handed the photo to Ferut and Lord Rom, the two aborigines from another world said that such a magical magic weapon was worth at least twenty gold coins, and said that it must be worth more than the badge on Ferut's hand. It was valuable, and they were all ready to urge Felt to exchange it quickly - but Felt said that stealing the badge was entrusted by others, and the main thing was to see how much money the client could pay.

And it was at this moment before the words could be finished that the client also came here - the mysterious woman with the hood.

The client learned of the situation, but said that he could only give ten gold coins. However, before Natsuki Subaru could celebrate excitedly, Felt hugged the boy and threw him to the ground. The reason was that the client was about to move. Dao, unilaterally broke the contract!

The client calls himself a sausage hunter, and his strength is indeed quite tyrannical - in just a few rounds, the big man Rom was killed in an instant, Felt, who was protected by the wind, was also taken care of, and Subaru Natsuki was still relying on him for the time being. The experience of dying last time prevented fatal damage, but it was just the end of the crossbow. By the time the Sausage Hunter took out the second knife, everything was over.

........Death comes again.

A familiar voice sounded again:

"Brother, do you want an apple?"

"........"

At this time, Natsuki Subaru finally understood the skill of loading the file and restarting it - but Natsuki Subaru, who was mentally tortured, only felt that he was exhausted, and he fainted after a while.

When the boss took apples and water and prepared to feed him something to eat, Natsuki Subaru saw the silver-haired girl passing in front of him at this moment.

Seeing that the half-elf girl with long silver hair was safe and sound, Natsuki Subaru was surprised and chased after her.

"...here he comes."

Looking at the silver-colored long-haired half-elf girl who didn't appear at all after her last death return, Kazuma Miki, who had been completely caught up in the plot of "re0", couldn't help but gently held his chin and frowned slightly:

"So, the male protagonist should be better this time, after all, the real female protagonist has appeared in front of him."

.....I think so.

However, after briefly recalling the plot written by the horror light novel writer signed as "Mermaid" in the previous article, Miki Kazuma always felt that things might not be as simple as he thought.

"Let's see what other tricks this guy named Mermaid can do."

Just like a people's judge, Miki gently drank the can of coffee next to him, and then frowned slightly, looking at this underworld light novel who obviously has the magical skill of death return, but can only die countless times. .

...........

Seeing the silver-colored long-haired half-elf girl walking past him, Natsuki Subaru, who was already mentally exhausted, immediately stood up and wanted to chase her.

And it was at the moment when he set out to chase her that he, who had been anxious for a long time, also called out the name that the girl had falsely given to him in the past: Satila.

"........"

at this moment.

People in the whole street were stunned.

All the residents looked at Natsuki Subaru in front of them with shocked eyes, and the pupils of the uncle at the apple stall trembled. Even the girl who was replaced by Natsuki Subaru as "Satira" was calmed down at this moment.

Stopping, the half-elf girl with long silver-colored hair did not move forward.

And it was at this moment that Natsuki Subaru finally walked through the crowd and walked towards the girl.

Facing this girl who was the first to show him love in another world, Natsuki Subaru said that he was already working hard. After their first accident, he just ran to the stolen goods warehouse again, but he didn't see it there. Girl, it’s a bit regretful——

"But it's okay...I'm really happy to see you are safe now!"

Natsuki Subaru's voice and tone were full of seriousness, and he also felt that when they reunited again, this silver-colored long-haired girl would at least say something like "Long time no see" to him.

However... under the surprised gaze of the people present, the half-elf girl turned around and asked 486:

"Why do you call me the name that the world hates: the name of the Jealousy Witch?"

".......ah?!"

Hearing the words of the half-elf girl, Natsuki Subaru was completely confused for a moment, and after a while he responded in confusion:

"But... isn't this what you asked me to call you?"

Obviously so serious, when faced with Natsuki Subaru's Chinese reply, the half-elf girl frowned slightly, indicating that she was offended - after all, in her memory, she had never seen Natsuki Subaru.

Leaving a few hurtful words behind, the girl turned around and prepared to leave.

At this time, the thief Felt appeared and stole the badge from the girl. By coincidence, the half-elf girl had a deeper misunderstanding of Natsuki Subaru, and even mistakenly thought that the boy in front of her was with Felt. Come to grab your own badge.

This time, it was indeed the beginning of a collapse of heaven.

Before Subaru Natsuki could explain, the half-elf girl whose real name was Emilia stopped paying attention to the suspicious man in front of her and was about to set off to chase Felt——

Although he felt desperate, Natsuki Subaru did not leave Emilia alone. He immediately set off and prepared to follow the girl. However, he chased her into an alley, but was blocked by a gangster.

In the third restart, Natsuki Subaru died under the dagger of a gangster.

Looking at the gangster who fled in panic, Natsuki Subaru, who was extremely exhausted, had trembling pupils and tears welling up in his eyes——

It’s still that familiar line.

Still the familiar person.

The owner of the apple stand took out the apple in his hand as usual and handed it to Natsuki Subaru in front of him.

"Brother, do you want an apple?"

"......"

Having restarted three times, Natsuki Subaru was already a little numb.

"...Uncle, how many times have you seen me?"

"Brother, what are you talking about? This is the first time I've seen you."

"........."

This time, Subaru Natsuki understood the operating logic and principles of death return.

As long as you die, your state will return to its original state and the save point.

"...I finally understand."

Miki Kazuma, who was almost paralyzed by the story of the mermaid torturing the protagonist, and who knew very well that the current light novel market is still dominated by cool novels, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt quite embarrassed. .

Really...it's obviously such a refreshing setting of death return, why does this author write such a plot that defies the will of heaven and abuses the master - he has such solid writing and plot, he can't be Are you a fool who can't understand the market?

"...I can only think that he is a mentally ill author."

Editor Miki, who had not seen such a miserable male protagonist in an isekai light novel for a long time, couldn't help but shake his head. He had mixed feelings about the light novel called "RE0" in front of him.

You say the plot is not good, and it is indeed very interlocking...but you say it is not right for the market. It is such a cruel plot that it takes me until the middle and late stages of a novel to figure out the golden meaning of death's return. In the plot about fingers, can new-age readers really endure this kind of torture?

Miki Kazuma is not sure, but it is obvious that his current mood towards this mysterious light novel is indeed much more complicated than at the beginning.

"......But, that's all."

Perhaps because he finally saw the possibility of Natsuki Subaru's counterattack, Editor Miki became eager.

Yes, since everyone knows about such a powerful golden finger, as the protagonist, Natsuki Subaru at least knows how to use this ability to lead a prosperous and wealthy life, and counterattack from the bottom, right?

With the enthusiasm that Subaru Natsuki should also start on the road to counterattack, Miki Kazuma carefully looked through the light novel that he had already read more than half of, and the expectations in his heart also rose.

Return to the world of "RE0" again.

Knowing that he had the magical skill of returning after death, Natsuki Subaru felt very generous.

After all, he has been able to go back in time, and the story between himself and Emilia has not happened yet. As long as he does not get involved in this dispute, he can get along well every minute with this ability.

Therefore, Natsuki Subaru, who finally made up his mind to start his own unique life and was not worried about Emilia, decided to exchange his equipment for some money and use his knowledge as a modern person to start his own life. The royal journey.

..... He really thought so.

However... Thinking of every bit of his past relationship with Emilia, Natsuki Subaru's mentality underwent some subtle changes.

At this moment, the boy saw the tomatoes that fell to the ground.

The carriage smashed it into pieces, like a horrific murder scene.

Natsuki Subaru's expression changed instantly when he saw this shocking scene.

Memories of death's return came to mind, resurfacing in the young man's mind like PTSD.

Thinking of the scene where Emilia fell in front of him, thinking of the stolen goods room full of death... Natsuki Subaru, who couldn't bear this situation to happen again in the restarted world line, finally gritted his teeth and prepared Go back and save the half-elf girl——

Although he didn't even know the girl's real name, although he still knew nothing about the girl...but with passion, the young man finally embarked on the journey.

Once again, he came to the alley of destiny, met those three gangsters again, and faced the teenagers holding dangerous instruments. When Natsuki Subaru was at a loss what to do, a reassuring voice came from behind:

"That's it."

"?"

When I saw this, I originally thought that Natsuki Subaru was going to die in an alley again, almost defining the author named Mermaid as an abstract psychopath, Miki Kazuma, but at this moment his eyes brightened.

And when he turned to the next page, he clearly saw the undisputed combat ceiling in the original "re0".

He had short red hair, wore a knight's formal attire, had sharp eyes, and had a dragon-claw sword hanging on his waist. Just standing there gave him an aura of calmness and authority.

Seeing this unexpected situation, the gangsters looked shocked - they all recognized that the man in front of them was the famous Reinhardt!

One oils the road.

The three gangsters yo-yoed on the spot, and Natsuki Subaru, who saved a life without triggering another death return, looked at the sword master in front of him and showed considerable respect to him——

However, when faced with Natsuki Subaru's thanks to him, Reinhardt just waved his hand and said there was no need to be so formal, and even started chatting with Natsuki Subaru.

The two met in an alley, and when their simple chat was about to end, Reinhardt said this to 486:

"If you have any trouble, I can help if you don't mind."

"Really?!"

Hearing such an expression, Natsuki Subaru, who had no fighting ability in the other world, nodded directly, took the knight he had just met, and prepared to go to the stolen goods warehouse. However, thinking of the situation that night, Natsuki Subaru was silent. For a moment, I still couldn't say anything.

Huntress is too strong, and even Lord Rom has no chance of winning. Natsuki Subaru doesn't want this knight he just met to fall into danger.

Therefore, even though he got the opportunity to help from the other party, Natsuki Subaru just waved his hand gently, saying that he would find a way to solve the problem, and then went to the stolen goods warehouse alone.

But this time, his luck was really not very good, and he actually met Huntress in advance.

"?!"

When seeing this scene, even Miki Kazuma, the well-informed light novel editor, couldn't help but hold his breath.

Good guy... Natsuki Subaru is going to die again? !

I am somewhat speechless because of the repeated deaths of the male protagonist of this light novel. I am somewhat worried that the content of the first volume of this light novel is to see the male protagonist in all kinds of grievances and the author's illness and abuse of the protagonist. The middle-aged man feels quite heavy. Even the hand holding the coffee can started to tremble.

.....Who can bear this? It didn't matter that Natsuki Subaru took the initiative to bump into the gangster's knife in the last restart, but this time he actually bumped into a werewolf?Doesn’t this author named Mermaid really have any grudge against Natsuki Subaru?

At this moment, Miki and Kazuma really looked like they were complaining.

However... the follow-up plot of "re0" shows that what he was worried about just now was just PTSD.

After all, the current Huntress doesn't know Natsuki Subaru at all... In such a situation, how could she attack the boy in front of her?

Of course, looking at Natsuki Subaru's nervous expression in front of her, Huntress still licked her lips, her voice charming but dangerous:

"I smell something wrong on you..."
