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

".......You're really gross."

"...I just said it casually, don't say that I look like Nantong."

The casual chatter continues.

Outside the window, there is the busy traffic.

Seeing the oil smoke scattering outside the store, the sky full of neon lights, and the busy traffic, the naturally curly boy, who had not eaten good food for a long time, just grabbed the cold Coke and took a sip:

"It feels like time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the comic exhibition is over - today should be the first time we have supper together after the comic exhibition, right?"

"........Indeed it is."

"How's it going? Did you have a good time at the Comic Con?"

"It's been a month since you asked me if I'm happy about the comic exhibition? Ali, I didn't expect you to be quite humorous."

"Don't worry about me... Just tell me, is it okay?"

"...How should I put it, it's not bad."

Although I really wanted to complain about my shortcomings, after carefully recalling the situation at the comic exhibition that day, Yu Tsugawa really couldn't say anything offensive:

"Although the first half was quite outrageous, and I was mainly ignorant, but just after the event, that guy Asaki came to see me in a cheongsam and suit to get back together, and he accompanied me to the comic exhibition for a long time... ....It’s quite a good harvest.”

"Hey, Xiaoxianchou."

After drinking the Coke, Mochizuki couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he recalled Tsugawa Yu's girlfriend Mizuno Saki:

"Isn't that woman a little outrageous? Why does she always get back together with you soon after she breaks up with you?"

"...Who knows, maybe this is pure love, after all, we have been together for so many years."

That's it.

As if he meant something, Tsukawa Yu couldn't help but glance at the curly haired boy next to him:

"Why, the purebred bull demon can't stand the pure love god of war?"

"...No, I just think that you can talk to such a young lady for so long, and she comes to bow to you every time, so there is definitely something there."

"Hai, I still like her after all, otherwise we wouldn't have talked about it earlier."

After finishing another handful of skewers, Tsukawa Yu wiped his mouth:

"He has a dirty mouth, spends money lavishly, likes to think about the cosplay all day long, and gets a little angry from time to time. Asaki is really the stereotype of a young lady full of shortcomings - even I don't know why. If you fall in love with her, this is how love makes people blind."

"...Haha, there is a dog showing affection."

Mochizuki pinched his nose and felt strangely angry:

"Is this the rancid smell that goes both ways? It's disgusting."

(......You, a guy surrounded by three beautiful sisters, do you have the nerve to say this?)

Unable to help complaining in his heart, Tsugawa Yuya sighed, then shook his head and got two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator at the back:

"Okay... Stop talking nonsense. Why is a patient talking so much? Just drink and that's it."

"Row."

Gently clinking glasses, the two teenagers began to drink Coke.

"...Anyway, let's turn the topic back to the original argument: The reason for getting back together at the comic show was quite a surprise, so it was still relatively okay, and I was satisfied for the time being."

Trying to change the conversation away from his unruly girlfriend and back to a normal place, Yu Tsugawa was silent for a moment and couldn't help but say:

"However, I must say this: my evaluation of the first half of Comic-Con day was very low."

"...Eh? Really?"

After hearing what Teacher Dayu said, Mochizuki didn't react for a while:

"Why? Did you encounter anything unhappy?"

"...? You, I was your substitute at that time, did you forget about it?"

"Oh~"

Mochizuki nodded as if he suddenly understood, with a calm expression:

"Speaking of which, the "re0" animation event was very successful, thanks to Mr. Dayu's help——"

"Don't change the subject for me!"

Seeing that a certain curly-haired kid was starting to add buffs to himself and skipping the abstract operations before, Yu Tsugawa interrupted the spell casting, and his voice sounded more tense than ever before:

"Damn it, I can't stand it when you talk about Comic Con. At first, I thought you were so incapacitated that you found someone to be your stand-in. But in the end, I was just a clown wearing a shark hood to perform for the audience, so Everything I do is just to buy you time so that you can blow off your vest... I have been jumping around on the stage with you for so long just to be your tool?"

"...Don't say it so harshly."

Seeing Teacher Dayu suddenly complaining to him like this, Mochizuki scratched his head:

"You are not a clown in my mind. Without you, my long-planned self-destruction of my identity might not have gone so smoothly..."

"Doesn't that mean you're using me as a tool?"

"...I'll treat you to all the midnight snacks for the next three months."

"It's almost there."

Almost like a face change in a Sichuan opera, Yu Tsugawa put down the Coke:

"Do you keep what you say?"

"...Face it, keep it—I owe you this."

After all, Teacher Dayu did help him a lot. Mochizuki, who has always been a tough guy, did not hesitate at all when faced with big issues:

"Okay, Teacher Dayu - you don't have any objections now, do you?"

"...No, I still have an opinion!"

It's almost like taking advantage of the situation.

Tsugawa Yu gently raised his hand, his expression became quite serious:

"If you want me to change my face, I have to negotiate with someone higher up on the conditions."

"......"

Unexpectedly, his friend would actually speak like this, and Mochizuki was slightly in a daze.

However... After a moment of silence, the young man waved his hand and looked at the guy who was negotiating terms with him:

"...So what else do you want? A gold bar or a succubus?"

"neither."

Wagging his finger mysteriously, Teacher Dayou responded very forcefully:

"What I want is something more important and more interesting."

"speak English."

"..."Zero - Starting Life in Another World", has the next volume been updated?"

Jinchuan Yutu saw it, his eyes flashed with golden light:

"I want to be the first reader, please serve it quickly and let me taste it."

"........"

Looking at Tsugawa Yuzheng looking at him with a jackal-like look, Mochizuki's expression was dull, as if he didn't react:

"...Oh, you said so much, but you ended up saying you want to read light novels?"

"Yes, otherwise what do you think I want?"

Teacher Dayou’s face was full of kindness and gentleness:

"Stop talking and serve it quickly. I can't wait."

"......Teacher Dayu."

Seeing the look of expectation on his hair, Mochizuki was silent for a moment, and finally said this at this moment:

"I haven't started writing the plot of the next volume yet."

"...?"

It was also at the moment when Mochizuki's words fell.

Tsukawa Yu's smile stopped on his face.

"What......?"

The smile gradually disappeared, and the boy's voice changed slightly:

"No, where are your manuscripts? Didn't you tell me in high school that there were hundreds of thousands of manuscripts?"

"Yes."

"What about saving the manuscript?"

"What you're asking... Of course the hundreds of thousands of words in the manuscript will be updated into the first three volumes. Otherwise, where else could it be?"

"Quack! I can't accept quack!"

A warm red color appeared on his face, and Yu Tsukawa's expression became ferocious:

"You damn pigeon, you haven't written any light novels since high school, right? I'm going to kill you???!!!"

"Ahem, don't get excited..."

Seeing that his hair was clearly showing signs of breaking through, Mochizuki waved his hand in a timely manner:

"It's still written. Take a look at the fourth volume of "re0" updated this year. This is what I coded in college. Isn't it pretty cool?"

"How cool are you! Do you want to read what is written in the fourth volume of "re0"?"

"...Um, let me recall."

Faced with such a question from his childhood friend and die-hard fan, Mochizuki held his chin and began to think about the updated content of the fourth volume of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World".

........If I remember correctly, the story in the fourth volume should be the beginning of a new plot line: the King's Selection.

After defeating the monsters and getting rid of the curse, Natsuki Subaru ushered in a peaceful and stable life again, and his relationship with Rem became extremely close——

Suddenly, an envoy from the royal capital visited the mansion to convey the news of the king's election to Emilia.

Because of the King's Choice, Subaru and Emilia were able to return to the capital and reunite with their old acquaintances.

Subaru met other candidates for the king and was determined to help Emilia fight for the throne, but was rejected by Emilia because of inappropriate expressions.

.......In a simple summary, this is probably the plot.

However, because "Life in a Different World from Zero" is relatively dark and sad, and the plot line always amplifies the cowardice and unlovable side of the protagonist, so in the opening paragraph of the fourth volume of the King's Selection, Natsuki Subaru's performance can be called a Gotham clown, which has become quite unbearable for many readers who are used to reading normal otherworldly novels——

In the words of Teacher Dayou, perhaps it is:

"I was prepared to see Subaru Natsuki perform in this volume, but he was really disappointed all the way to the end?"

"...I'm sorry, the foreshadowing is like this."

Mochizuki sighed.Because the Wang Xuan chapter of "Zero - Starting Life in Another World" is indeed written in this way, and the controversy is indeed relatively strong. No matter how much I soften the plot of Natsuki Subaru's defeat, it will definitely be difficult for the audience in this world to accept it - also Because of this, with the mood of comforting the young boy, the young man said:

"The real focus of Wang Xuan is at the back. Let's wait for the update. I will try my best."

"...No, what's the use of cheering?"

After leaving such a sentence as if to break his defense, Yu Tsugawa looked quite embarrassed:

"I need you to code... I didn't see that a lot of people are calling you a piece of shit now. If you don't speed up the update, do you want to be criticized?"

"...It's coding, it's coding."

As he spoke, he created a new folder in his mind. Mochizuki's expression was a bit complicated:

"Don't worry, I won't delay the update - but it is indeed difficult to do more updates. After all, there are still a lot of things to do."

"...Oh, I can't stand you."

I don’t know if Coca-Cola poured into his head, but now Teacher Dayou feels inexplicably down and out:

"I'd rather you just write novels in your life, and don't play music or draw comics. Maybe this way I can watch you break out... You said you kid, suddenly broke off at such a crucial position. , I really wish I could wait for the update until I hit a wall?"

"...Don't worry, Teacher Dayu."
