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

Although their reactions were completely opposite, the voices of Xu Yuhuai and Mochizuki were quite synchronized.

Ever since, the girl with short curly hair and dark green eyes sat obediently with Mochizuki and began to drink the sweet and bitter coffee.

Yes...the person accompanying Mochizuki today is not Tsukawa Yu, but a very active Chinese girl who is about to become a high school student.

There is also a reason why Xu Yuhuai is by Mochizuki's side today...

Today, the crew of Ultraman Tiga is on holiday. It stands to reason that Tsugawa Yulai should accompany a certain slash boy to talk to President Miki about light novels, but after all, Mr. Dayu still has to accompany his girl who is a little moody. Friend, so he could only wave goodbye to Mochizuki with tears, and asked Xu Yuhuai to take a good look at his newly recognized biological father and not let him be bullied by others.

"give it to me(?????)?!"

Although she was young, Xu Yuhuai naturally nodded seriously and agreed to this hard work. She immediately transformed into a young mother and began to stay with the boy.

This somewhat subtle yet outrageous request does not seem so strange when it comes to Mochizuki Ri.

However, in the eyes of Kazuma Miki, an outsider, all this is indeed a bit too abstract.

"........"

Looking at Xu Yuhuai, who looked like a little adult in front of him, Miki Yima's expression was a little subtle, and his mood was naturally quite complicated.

.....So, what is the relationship between this little girl and the mermaid teacher?

......

@"Group of joy, traveling to the starry railway to make fire"

Introduction: A qualified believer in joy must learn to have fun for himself.

Every day I watch the joy believers in the group chat pretending to be "Group Patrol" and "Group Harvest" fighting.

After accidentally traveling to the Star Dome Railway, another unused carrier X, Xingmei, was born with consciousness.

"Um...is your sister a little abnormal?"

Qiong nodded and spread his hands, looking helpless.

"Used to it."

114. The genius light novelist and his mothers who are about the same age

"......"

Looking at the mysterious Mochizuki Ri who pretended to be an expert while wearing sunglasses and keeping silent, Mr. Kazuma Miki, who had originally wanted to have a good chat with this young man about signing a contract with Bunko, couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed.

I was originally looking forward to having a good chat with the legendary mermaid teacher offline, but why did I feel that as soon as he took his seat, the whole atmosphere became weird?

And...what's going on with that little girl who looks like she's only fourteen or fifteen years old?Even if you just stay with the mermaid teacher, why are you still acting like your elders?

..... It's really hard for children nowadays to understand.

Looking at Mochizuki Ri, who was wearing sunglasses, making it impossible to detect any changes in emotions, and Xu Yuhuai, who had a dimple-like smile, Mr. Kazuma Miki couldn't help but hold his forehead, showing a nervous look on his face.

But... forget it.

Perhaps he has a lot of tolerance for today's talented young people. Although he always vaguely feels that the other person seems to be abnormal and a bit of a freak, this middle-aged editor who changed jobs and founded the ruler library does not. Care too much about this——

He just stretched out his hand gently and said in a mellow voice:

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Mermaid, and this beautiful lady."

"Hello, President Miki?"

.....I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kazuma Miki always felt that the voice of the boy in sunglasses opposite him was a little trembling.

When the polite handshake came, feeling the slightly cold palm of the boy opposite, the middle-aged man's mood was a little subtle.

Although there is no evidence, from the moment he passed by, the mermaid teacher in front of him gave people an inexplicable stiff and inexplicable feeling... This kind of behavior is really a bit too strange, but Miki, who knows many people, Yima could still vaguely see something: This young man seemed to be a little nervous.

........Isn't he a sociopath?

Noticing that the boy was wearing sunglasses and lacking words, probably to avoid eye contact with him and to show social shyness, President Miki couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

I always feel that this light novel writer named Mermaid is getting more and more unexpected.

"...What's wrong, President Miki???"

Mr. Mochizuki, who still has a "cool, don't talk" aura, but is actually like a shy and awkward little girl. His words at this moment are somewhat passive:

"Why didn't you speak suddenly? Is something wrong?"

".......fine."

Seeing Mochizuki looking for words like a nervous child, Miki Kazuma, who originally thought that this boy was very mysterious and probably difficult to get along with, couldn't help but chuckle twice, and then waved his hand gently:

"I just feel that Teacher Mermaid is more approachable than I thought... After all, many talented young people are more or less eccentric and arrogant. How could you, like me, come out to drink with a little old man like me?" There are really only a few people who want a cup of coffee~”

"Eh...yes, is that so?"

"Of course it is."

Miki Kazuma, who took the initiative to calm down the atmosphere and understood that the other party's social skills were somewhat lacking, was also trying to slowly untie the knot in the heart of the young man in front of him who was somewhat estranged from himself:

"Don't take the signing of the contract too seriously. Although there is indeed a signing of the contract today, my purpose of meeting you this time is just to make friends. We can just chat casually. Don't worry too much about anything."

".......Fine?."

I don't know if it was Miki Kazuma's illusion, but he always felt that Mochizuki Ri in front of him seemed to be relieved:

"It's good to make friends. After all, I have a lot of friends."

.......Really?

Looking at this awkward kid wearing sunglasses, Miki Kazuma couldn't help but doubt its authenticity.

Of course, out of politeness, Miki and Ichima did not extend this matter too much.

After understanding that the flow was flowing in the right direction, the conversation between the middle-aged man and the boy slowly became as tense as before.

.......The chatting atmosphere gradually became more lively, and the aloof light novel writer seemed to be gradually willing to chat and even joke with him. Everything seemed to be slowly getting better at this moment——

Although I always feel that sitting next to the mermaid teacher, Xu Yuhuai, who is a little adult, looks at the increasingly enthusiastic young boy with an indescribable motherly look... But seeing everyone in the cafe talking happily, Miki Kazuma didn't care about these small details.

Chatting a few words casually, looking at the rising sun gradually outside the window, Miki Kazuma, who was preparing to absorb more excellent works for his ruler library, also looked squarely at the young man wearing sunglasses in front of him at this moment, with a considerable expression in his voice. appreciate:

"Teacher Mermaid, your novel "re0" has received a very good response on the Internet, and its popularity has also increased. It is indeed the most discussed otherworld novel among web light novels on that website recently - in fact, I thought a few days ago I want to stand shoulder to shoulder with you, but it’s a pity that our library’s initial construction business has been relatively busy recently, so we can’t do whatever we want, so it took so long to sign the library and meet offline. I’m really sorry.”

"...It's okay. In fact, our crew was busy some time ago. Recently, we are getting back on track, so we have more free time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to be alone with President Miki at this time. Meet???."

"Is that so?"

Hearing Mochizuki's sudden talk about the crew, Kazuma Miki's expression changed slightly:

"Teacher Mermaid is really busy at work... Is your job on the crew a screenwriter or something like that?"

".......no."

Mochizuki paused for a long time before slowly speaking:

"Actually, I'm the lead actor."

".......Eh?"

President Miki was slightly stunned when he heard what Mochizuki said.

I originally thought that the young man in front of me might be some budding genius high school scriptwriter, but it turned out that the other person was an actor...?

This situation is indeed a bit unexpected, and it’s no wonder that Miki and Yima’s voices have a surprising undertone:

"It's really unexpected. I thought that an excellent light novel writer like Mr. Mermaid would engage in something more related to story writing."

"President Miki, I mainly focus on all-round development, so I will always try it myself when I encounter some areas of interest."

".......I see."

He nodded slightly, feeling as if he was getting to know the complex and youthful middle-aged man in front of him more and more, and he suddenly understood and responded like this:

"On the surface, he is an actor, but secretly he is a light novel writer... To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a situation in many years of working in the industry."

Japan's entertainment industry is full of cross-border talents, and many of them focus on all-round development.

Although it is indeed quite unexpected that the circle of actors in the film and television industry has turned to the light novel industry, the middle-aged man is more impressed by the mermaid teacher's versatility than surprised.

...So, "re0" was released on the Internet in the middle of acting?

It's kind of cool.

Feeling the preciousness of the slash boy in front of him, Miki and Ichima felt a sense of awe:

"I never expected that Teacher Mermaid has already won the main role at such a young age. She is so talented that one cannot help feeling that a hero comes from a young age—here, I'd like to toast you and wish you a bright future."

"...Um, thank you."

Although he was wearing sunglasses and kept deliberately calm all the time, Mochizuki still seemed a little uncomfortable when faced with the middle-aged man's praise for himself, and his voice also showed a little bit of embarrassment:

"I'm still very immature, and I'm just an [-]th-tier actor now. When the filming of this new drama is completed, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue in the entertainment industry-"

"Hai, leave the future to the future~"

Waving his hands gently, Miki Kazuma's expression was quite solemn:

"You have already taken the first step at a young age, and even have the talent to write light novels. Mermaid Teacher is already very good - so don't worry, just follow your own path, we elders will take good care of you. .”

"Uh, good."

It always felt like she was being taken care of again without knowing it, Mochizuki's expression was blank.

"........."

Looking at the young man with a dull expression, Miki Kazuma's expression looked quite gentle.

What a nice kid...Although I always feel that his thinking seems a bit strange, and when he writes books, he always makes people feel crazy, but when they meet offline, he is really shy and humble, and he is very different from other real social workers. Compared to the light novel writers who are afraid of morbidity, he is a kind of person who is super chatty.

Moreover, he is also a person in the film and television industry... If Mochizuki becomes famous in the future, will his family's light novels be adapted into films?

As he was thinking about it, Miki Ichima felt more and more comfortable.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who was preparing his own library was really curious about what kind of film and television works the boy in front of him would star in - but after thinking carefully, he understood that there must be a confidentiality agreement before the film and television works were released, and Miki and Ichima did not refuse. There is too much gossip in one’s own field.

....... We’ll have to wait and see about the film adaptation of the light novel in the future.

Now that he has understood the general situation of Mr. Mermaid, the only important thing left is the last item: the signing process of "re0" and the discussion of the follow-up direction of the work.

Thinking of this, Miki Kazuma also promptly tightened his thoughts that were constantly swirling just now, and controlled the topic of the coffee game from going in a random direction:

"Okay, I can't say much about more things. After all, I'm not from the film and television industry, and I don't have any connections in it. The only thing I can do is cheer for you, teacher -"

"But if sensei wants to make a name for himself in the light novel industry, I think I can help you."

".......Uh-huh."

He understood that this was the fundamental reason why Miki Kazuma met him: Mochizuki Ri, who had drawn him into their own library, also said this at this moment:

"I understand what President Miki means, and I do have the intention to develop in the light novel industry - after all, writing novels can be regarded as one of my hobbies and first dreams."

"great."

Hearing the words of the genius boy he cared about most, Miki Kazuma nodded solemnly, and his mood was naturally quite clear:

"Mermaid Teacher has such a dream, it's so happy - after all, your "re0" is really unforgettable. Whether it is the quality, writing style or the terrifying update speed, it has left many people stunned. If I If you guessed it correctly, the popularity of "re0" has risen so quickly, and there should be many library editors looking for you."

"...That's right."

He nodded slightly, sensing a tentative tone in Miki Kazuma's words. The boy's voice was still quite calm:

"As President Miki thought, in the recent period, many editors of the library have indeed contacted me online... But among these seniors who appreciate me, President Miki is the The one who is most enthusiastic about me, so I also want to respond positively to President Miki who is so enthusiastic.”
