At this moment, she even forgot the rule she had set for herself to keep a distance from Si Ji, and just felt quite disappointed and uncomfortable in her heart.
"Of course not." Shiki seemed not to hear the dissatisfaction in the girl's tone, and said seriously: "We just reviewed The Shining and the Doppelganger."
Xue No: “?”
"And you got one thing wrong." Si Ji continued solemnly.
"What?" Yukino's eyes widened, looking a little surprised.
Shiki said seriously: "A mere Kasumigaoka cannot satisfy me. At least we need to add a popular star or something!"
"Really?" Yukinoshita Yukino took out her cell phone expressionlessly: "I hope you can say the same thing to your phone later."
"Humph, even the police wouldn't care about this kind of thing..."
"Who said I was going to call the police?" Xueno glanced at him.
"Aren't you calling the police?" Si Ji was stunned. In his impression, the other party should just be playing the police joke at this time. He asked curiously: "Who are you calling?"
"Ms. Yamada."
four seasons:"……"
"Also, I have recorded your unsatisfied words just now, and I will forward it to Ms. Yamada." Yukinoshita Yukino added while holding her cell phone. In order to prove that she was not making threats in the void, she even played the recording just now, which gave Shiki goosebumps.
"I was wrong, please don't do this..." Si Ji immediately backed down.
He was not afraid that the fairy would misunderstand that he had a new love outside, but he was worried that the fairy would really think that he was sexually unsatisfied, so she would transform into an annoying little fairy and come to tease his dignity as a man every night. If he could not control himself one day, his life would be completely ruined.
"Then can you talk properly now and tell me what happened?" Yukino looked at Shiki standing at attention and getting beaten, then nodded with satisfaction.
She could see that although Shiki seemed like an ordinary student, hiding among the crowd and looking unremarkable, he was actually very brave. He was not afraid of the teachers in the school, not to mention the principal or the directors. He even didn't seem to care much about the police. When facing those people, he was not as nervous as other people of his age would be. It was as if he was sure that the Japanese police were trash and there was nothing they could do to him.
But he seemed to have a special importance for the Yamada fairy, which made Yukinoshita Yukino feel that she had grasped Shiki's weak spot, but at the same time, she felt stuffy in her chest, with an inexplicable sense of loss and bitterness.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that a friend has some needs."
Shiki cut off the beginning and the end and said that a friend of his needed a script for a short play, so he asked Kasumigaoka Utaha for help. However, the other party did not fully understand the director's requirements for the script, so the first version she wrote could not be used.
In order to enable the other party to write the revised script faster and better, Si Ji stayed here specifically to supervise the other party's work.
Because what he said this time was so certain and there were no problems with many details, Yukino tentatively believed what Shiki said.
"But Ms. Yamada is also a light novel author, right? Why don't you just ask Ms. Yamada to help you write? Given your relationship, she will definitely not refuse, right?"
Yukinoshita Yukino asked finally.
Si Ji shook his head: "There are three reasons. First of all, although Emily also writes novels... you probably haven't read her novels carefully, right?"
Yukino looked away guiltily.
When she first learned about Yamada Fairy, she did find some of his works to read, but she didn't even finish the first volume before she put it in the freezer and never took it out to read again - apparently for Yukinoshita, it was too early to read a harem novel that bordered on being in another world.
"Emily's novels are strong in the plot. She can make some clichéd plots very interesting. The characters in them are mostly just labeled, but they are well-shaped in a series of plots and have a certain degree of character arc, which is why they are so popular."
Si Ji looked at the other person's face and roughly guessed what was going on, so he said, "In short, if she wants to write a good script, she needs a lot of words to pile up the plot and characterization. The reason why a short play is called a short play is because the content is not very long."
If Yamada Fairy is given enough space, she can indeed write charming characters and interesting and unforgettable climaxes, but if the space is insufficient, many of the characters' actions will become strange.
In a sense, she is a bit like Maeda Jun. Although the story direction is different, the length of the story is exactly the same. If there is enough space to lay the groundwork for her, she can do a good job at the CL level. But if there is not enough space, and she is in a good mood, she will definitely play baseball and play in a band. The final result is a poor plot that relies on the defense...
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded thoughtfully: "What about the other two points?"
"Of course, that's the writing style of an elementary school student, and no matter what he writes, he will subconsciously lean towards Sese, even though he is still the size of a toddler... Wait a minute, why is the phone in Ms. Yukinoshita's hand still lit, and what is the spinning thing on it?"
"……Earth."
"No, no, no, it's not that big! It's definitely just in the 'recording' state! The text is showing! I'd rather ask who are you recording this for!"
"……Humanity."
"Indeed, most animals can't understand it either... That's not right! Why don't you delete it for me!"
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Shiki and gave him a gentle smile for the first time in a long time.
Si Ji was very moved, and then he felt the word "danger" flash across his forehead.
Chapter 320: Pressing the Key Like a God
At first, Kasumigaoka Utaha was wondering why it took Shiki so long just to open a door.
She even regretted asking Si Ji to open the door. After all, this was the place she rented. If her parents or someone she knew came to look for her and it was Si Ji who opened the door, it would be a headache to explain.
However, considering the number of people who come to sell goods, commit fraud, collect television fees, and promote strange sects on a daily basis, Kasumigaoka Utaha feels that she should still be able to believe in probability.
Maybe Siji is simply wrangling with those guys and hindering their business?
"After all, no one knows how to be annoying better than him." The girl muttered softly, and then as if afraid of being heard, she coughed twice in a serious manner.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that she could sense a gaze. However, there was no one else in the room, which made the girl feel a little uncomfortable.
Shaking her head gently, she put aside her complicated thoughts and focused her attention on her writing again.
Although I had a similar feeling when I wrote yesterday, after waking up from a good sleep, I re-examined the words I wrote, and I always had the urge to say to myself yesterday, "Don't underestimate the script!"
The writing style does not seem to have regressed, but the most crucial plot is like boiled water, without any taste, neither good nor bad, and one can guess the ending after seeing the beginning. It is simply worthless compared to those shit works - at least people can still enjoy watching shit works and experience some wonderful tastes. After all, only if the shit part is deliberately retained, readers will know whether they are tasting shit works.
But even if she knew where the problem lay, the girl still felt a little embarrassed about how to fix it.
What kind of story do you want?
Everything can be said in a short space of time, leaving the audience moved.
"What I want is..."
It was like sparks starting to light up in my brain.
No, that’s not enough. Do you want to write a good work with just this little inspiration?
"How would 'Kasumi Utako' be written... No, how would 'Kasumigaoka Utaha' be written..."
I want more interesting content, more exciting stories, and I don't want to compromise on this one thing, even if it means having to limit the word count and length.
Her heart was pounding for some reason, and some strange rhythm made her feel like her brain was starting to go numb.
What were originally just sporadic sparks continued to spread and eventually turned into a raging flame in the girl's brain.
The girl no longer worried about the trivial details and began to focus completely on the screen, quickly deleting and modifying the content on it.
Mai Sakurajima witnessed everything from beginning to end.
At the beginning, Kasumigaoka Utaha was still under the pressure of the seasons, and she revised the manuscript slowly, bit by bit. The girl at that time seemed to be in pain, but she did not stop and was still typing hard. Even if she had no ideas, she at least wanted to make the text more beautiful and consider the lines more carefully.
After that, the other party began to improve at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye... No, considering the previous conversation between the two, it might be more appropriate to say that it was "rehabilitation".
And now, after mumbling something incomprehensible, Kasumigaoka Utaha's condition has become very abnormal. If we have to describe it, it is probably the state of 'pressing the keys like a god', which left Mai Sakurajima dumbfounded.
Until this time, Si Ji, who went to open the door, finally came back.
But behind him, there was a beautiful girl with long black hair...
Sakurajima Mai subconsciously stroked her long straight black hair, then looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha's long straight black hair thoughtfully, and finally looked at the girl behind Shiki with an expression of sudden enlightenment.
They all have long straight black hair, and the only difference among the three is their hair accessories.
Suddenly the girl had an idea in her mind: it seems that the operating system of Four Seasons has been revealed.
"I remember you were from the Ministry..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed a little dissatisfied that her godly state of typing was interrupted, and looked at the other party.
"I'm the head of the Service Club, Yukinoshita Yukino." The girl following behind Shiki revealed her cards directly.
"I am Kasumigaoka Utaha, an ordinary person." Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her eyebrows and chose a slightly hostile attitude without hesitation.
"Don't fight, don't fight, Jin... Ahem, everyone calm down first, and Kasumigaoka, don't stare at me like that. Our captain is still very equal and easy-going."
Shiki immediately tried to smooth things over. He then turned around and flattered Yukinoshita Yukino earnestly, "Boss, I've warmed up your seat. Over here, please move your distinguished feet and come this way..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. After a long while, she said speechlessly, "Even after all this, you are still being equal and easy-going. Wouldn't the first thing you do every day in the service club be to pay homage to her?"
"Kasumigaoka-senpai."
Yukinoshita Yukino was not angry.
If it were any other time, the proud girl might have directly retorted, but today she was in a particularly good mood after successfully controlling the four seasons, and she didn't care about Kasumigaoka Utaha's somewhat aggressive tone: "Actually, I was asked by Sawamura-san to come and visit you."
"Sawamura..." Kasumigaoka was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to say that, and then reacted: "Is it Eriri?"
"Yes, she wanted to come by herself, but she couldn't get away because of something, and she was also very worried about your condition, so she asked me to come and take a look."
As she spoke, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and felt that apart from looking a little tired, there seemed to be nothing strange about her.
"I actually made that guy worry unnecessarily. It seems that I really couldn't make everyone like me before." Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head.
Seeing that her expression was calm and her tone was different from her previous "gentle big sister" personality, as if she had returned to her previous appearance, Si Ji couldn't help but have a guess, but it was not suitable to open the system now, so he just kept it in mind.
"Why do you want everyone to like you?" Yukinoshita Yukino asked doubtfully, "There are seven billion people in this world. Even if the number of mediocre and bad people is only one tenth, there are still 100 million mediocre and bad people. Would you be happy if you were liked by something like that?"
"...Isn't what you said too extreme?" For a moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha was speechless.
Chapter 321: Long Foreplay
[Double Body Syndrome: Legend has it that there is always someone in the world who looks exactly like you. When you meet that person, it means that you are about to die. When such a person really appears, can you still maintain your determination to hate yourself? ]
[Prescription for the Sick: Kasumigaoka Utaha]
[Treatment plan: It is not difficult to accept the past self, but it is difficult to give up the longing for the "other self" that once existed in her heart. Even if it was only for a few days, at least she had seen what she looked like without her personality, so she decided to take back her self and find a new and better self. ]
[Treatment effect: cured]
When Yukinoshita Yukino visited Kasumigaoka on behalf of Eriri, the two of them were discussing topics like "I've been cute since I was a child" and "I'm excluded by other girls because I'm cute" with a synchronization rate of over 400%, Shiki took the time to look at the notebook in his inventory.
As expected, during this period of time, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally embraced her former self and no longer worried about such trivial matters as being loved by everyone.
In this way, including the share for healing Kashiwazaki Sena, Shiki already has two unopened skill blind boxes and a training voucher.
Shiki shifted his attention from the system inventory and looked at Sakurajima Mai - it was obvious that the equally outstanding girl with long black straight hair also had a lot of insights into the content of the two people's communication. Unfortunately, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Yukinoshita Yukino could not see her, so Sakurajima Mai could only be a listener obediently, with a lot to say.
Shiki glanced at the time on his phone and forced his way into their conversation: "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I have other things to do and I'm in a hurry, so could Kasumigaoka-senpai finish what I need as soon as possible?"
"An impatient man is not welcome."
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was interrupted in the middle of her conversation, looked at him and spoke leisurely.
"It doesn't matter. Women with long foreplay aren't popular either."
Shiki smiled brightly and said meaningfully.
"There is absolutely no causal relationship between what you said later and the previous 'it doesn't matter', right?"
Ms. Yukinoshita, who had good grades in liberal arts, pointed out Shiki's slip of the tongue sharply.
So Si Ji asked solemnly with a serious face: "Then, Minister, do you think it's better to be impatient or have a longer foreplay?"
"Isn't the range of options a little too narrow?" Yukino frowned. She felt that both answers were traps, so she said, "It's like the answer to the question is 42, but the options are only 6 and ."
"Then let me ask you another way. Minister, do you think it is better to 'get it done as soon as possible' or 'delay it as long as possible, and then work really hard the day before the deadline'?"
Yukinoshita Yukino was naturally a resolute person, but she was keenly aware of the hidden meaning in Shiki's words: "I think you are trying to change the concept."
"But the fact is, Kasumigaoka-senpai is procrastinating on submitting his manuscript." Shiki spread his hands.
"Not submitting a manuscript on time is called procrastination," Kasumigaoka Utaha said proudly, "I did submit a manuscript, but someone just sent it back for revisions, right?"
"You are quite proud..." Si Ji curled his lips.
"Okay, stop making that weird expression," Kasumigaoka Utaha handed the manuscript to Shiki, "It's almost done, take a look."
Si Ji, who didn't expect her efficiency to be so high, took the manuscript and quickly flipped through it.
The plot, which was dull and boring just now with all its twists and turns being very textbook, has now changed significantly. Because not much time was spent on revisions, the theme and general framework of the script have not changed, but the character's lines and narration have changed significantly, which has changed the character's emotions from a formulaic and labeled feeling to a more unique arc.
With the addition of many metaphorical details, the script content seems to have become richer all of a sudden, with a certain depth and thickness, and it is no longer a purely flat character creation like before.
After a while, Si Ji put down the script and nodded, "This version is fine."
After the revision, Kasumigaoka Utaha's script has improved a lot, and it has regained the spiritual and youthful words in her light novel "Love Metronome".
Even from Si Ji's perspective, this text can be considered qualified. With many details and refined lines, the script now has a flavor of heart-warming chicken soup - it is probably at the level where it can be approved and published by "Reader".
Shiki's affirmation made Kasumigaoka Utaha, who appeared to be indifferent but actually had her heart in her throat, show a look of pride.
"Of course, it's just a simple question." She stretched, showing off her beautiful figure and said with a smile.
