What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

"what about the taste?"

Shiki asked curiously as he looked at the Yamada fairy who was biting into the oxtail meat in big mouthfuls as if to vent his anger.

When she thought about the fact that Yukinoshita Yukino ordered this oxtail soup, Yamada Fairy wanted to say it was not tasty, but the delicious taste in her mouth made it impossible for her to say such a thing. She could only say angrily, "Damn, it's delicious!"

Seeing her gritting her teeth, Si Ji found it interesting and at the same time, he couldn't help but recall the time when he first met her.

At that time, the girl always acted domineering. Now thinking about it, it was probably just a way for her to protect herself when she was alone outside. Even though the girl approved of his cooking skills, she spoke with gritted teeth and a very reluctant look. Thinking back on the scene now, it does feel quite interesting.

Shiki thought that this child had been so adorable since then. Perhaps that was why he was willing to run around with her to find the ugly Kashiwagi Eri in the beginning. The wool he got from her became a secondary reason.

Unlike oxtail soup, yam rice relies mainly on the ingredients. It is nothing more than a way of eating rice after grinding the yam. Depending on different tastes, soy sauce, shichimi funghi and other seasonings can be poured on it. Some people also add sterilized eggs, but Si Ji has never been used to eating raw eggs. Except for using them in sukiyaki, he rarely mixes raw eggs with rice - hot spring eggs are already his bottom line.

However, the sticky texture mixed with rice does taste quite magical. Add some rice ingredients and oxtail soup, and the overall taste is quite good.

Fairy Yamada looked at her own deluxe omelette rice, and then at Shiki and Yukino's yam rice. It was clearly her request, but she suddenly felt isolated like a child eating a children's meal.

"Si Ji, is that delicious?" the girl asked Si Ji.

"It's okay, the taste is novel and interesting." Si Ji answered truthfully.

“I want to try it!”

The girl opened her mouth like a baby bird waiting to be fed: "Ah~~~"

Si Ji, who originally planned to let the girl scoop it herself, said helplessly: "I put a lot of spicy food in it, can you eat it?"

"no problem!"

Seeing that she said so and didn't mind her saliva, Si Ji could only scoop up a spoonful of yam rice and put it into her mouth.

The girl puffed up her cheeks with satisfaction and started chewing. "Hmm, hmm, I see. It's really interesting to be sticky..."

Then she scooped a spoonful of rice with egg skin from her omelette rice and put it to Si Ji's mouth: "Then it's my turn, come on, ah~~~"

Although Shiki always felt that this was not a good idea, seeing that the Yamada fairy was about to stuff the rice into his nostrils if he didn't open his mouth, he had no choice but to open his mouth obediently and let the girl feed him a spoonful of rice.

"How is it?" asked Yamada Fairy with anticipation in her pink eyes.

"Of course the food I cook is delicious..."

"I mean, how about 'ah~~~'?" the girl asked seriously.

"Subtle, subtle..." Si Ji answered guiltily.

"Then give me another spoonful, come on, ah~~~"

"Well……"

"Then it's my turn, come and feed me, ah~~~"

The girl closed her eyes and slightly parted her cherry lips. She looked more like she was asking for a kiss than waiting to be fed.

"..."

Shiki ate the omelette rice and yam rice with the fairy Yamada in fear - he always felt that the eyes of Yukinoshita Yukino next to him were becoming colder and colder, as if she might call the police at any time - then he left the two of them and ran to wash the dishes as if he had been pardoned.

Chapter 123: Yamada Fairy's New Work

When Si Ji woke up from his sleep, the night outside the window was still as dark and deep as thick ink that could not be dissolved.

As the culprit who pulled him back to reality from his dream, the Yamada Fairy was sitting on him, with dark circles under his eyes, and said excitedly: "I have finished writing my new light novel!"

It took Shiki, whose brain was not yet functioning properly, about three seconds to realize that the other party was talking about the new light novel that had been mentioned to her before.

It seemed like she had started writing a few days ago, but God knows what happened today - Si Ji turned her head and looked at the alarm clock with a piece of lacquered leather falling off the bedside table, and the luminous hands on it were pointing to about two o'clock in the morning - something stimulated her yesterday and she finished the novel in one go overnight.

Suddenly, Si Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I know you are very excited after writing the novel...haha..." He yawned loudly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said helplessly: "But is it necessary for you to come to me now to share your joy?"

After he said that, the girl, who was originally quite excited, seemed to realize the current time and the slightly awkward posture between them.

The excitement brought by the dopamine secreted due to the success finally faded away, and rationality returned to her mind. The girl's emotions were like a roller coaster, falling from a very high point in an instant.

"That's true... Ahahaha, I just don't know why I suddenly wanted to tell you this news when I finished writing... Sorry, I'll come back tomorrow..."

The girl laughed awkwardly and climbed off Si Ji's body.

But at this time, Si Ji had already sighed slightly and sat up: "Forget it, now that I'm here, I'm not sleepy anymore, so I might as well take a look at your new novel."

"Really?" Yamada Fairy asked in surprise with eyes wide open.

"Well, after all, I am also your fan, Mr. Yamada Fairy." Shiki took the manuscript handed over by the other party and said seriously.

"It's better to call her Emily." The girl corrected seriously.

The two smiled at each other.

Shiki got up, put on his round glasses, and sat at the desk. He was about to appreciate the girl's new work, but then he saw that Yamada the Fairy did not get out of bed, but sneaked into his quilt like a cat, bug or dog.

"What are you doing?" Si Ji couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"I, I'm just a little sleepy. You watch me first while I take a nap..."

The girl sniffed the bed quietly, thinking that no one could see her. She squinted her eyes and shrank into the quilt with a comfortable look on her face. If she were a cat, she would have started making purring sounds in her throat.

Si Ji smiled helplessly and shook his head, then concentrated on reading the novel in his hand.

Yamada Youjing usually writes her novels on a laptop and prints them out after finishing, but this novel manuscript was handwritten by her. The font looks just like the girl herself, round and cute.

The novel is not very long, probably about the size of one volume of an ordinary light novel, and it still tells the story of the other world that the girl is good at.

The story is basically about a male succubus named Hisen who becomes a hero and uses his succubus talents to gather female companions to defeat the devil and save the world together. Although at first glance it seems to be a harem-themed light novel like "The Exploding Dark Fairy", after the initial lightheartedness, the plot takes a sharp turn and starts to become heavy.

This is a world that is about to wither and decay. Only by sacrificing the lives of demons can the world's existence continue. And the Demon King is the one who must be sacrificed. The core of the ceremony, the so-called brave man's crusade against the Demon King, is just a sacrifice ceremony that is constantly repeated to confuse the people.

The female characters who were captured by the hero's charm broke free from his enchantment one by one, and eventually left the team for various reasons. When the protagonist arrived at the Demon King's Castle, the only one left by his side was the demon girl Emily who had originally traveled with him. This character was hinted to be an enemy in the early plot, and many things that obstructed the protagonist group were done by her in secret.

There was almost no doubt that the girl was the final demon king who was supposed to be sacrificed.

She invites the protagonist Hisen to give up his identity as a hero and witness the end of the world with her in the Demon King's Castle. However, due to the disasters caused by various omens of the end of the world during the journey, the people displaced by the disasters, and the desire to protect his former teammates, the protagonist chooses to fight against the opponent.

In the end, the Demon King was killed, but the protagonist Hisen discovered that the ritual was not completed. After investigating in the Demon King's castle and piecing together the clues along the way, he realized that he was the Demon King this time!

Emily was not bewitched by the succubus's blood from beginning to end. She was the only ordinary girl who truly fell in love with him from the beginning, so she followed him on the journey. However, she was much smarter than him and realized the truth earlier, so she kept obstructing the protagonist's journey. In the end, she even disguised herself as a demon king in order to prevent Hisen from discovering the truth.

After realizing this, Xisen picked up the sword and walked towards the empty Demon King's throne...

The story ends here.

But after watching it, Si Ji could only sigh.

In conclusion, the story itself is quite interesting. Although it is very old-fashioned, coupled with Yamada Fairy's simple writing and interesting daily drama, it is as delicious to read as the most popular cocktail. Even readers who don't like this kind of subject matter can probably continue reading it.

It's just that the color of the story is a bit abrupt, and the later part is too dark. The departure of the heroines will definitely cause anger among readers. Coupled with the open ending where the protagonist, who is not very likable in the end, does not make a choice, and the ending tone makes it almost impossible to have a sequel, this book is unlikely to be published in the hands of any qualified light novel editor, and it needs to be significantly revised.

But this is not the reason why Four Seasons sighs.

For him, who has a level 10 writing skill, no matter how well or poorly the girl's book is written, the level is far inferior to his. It is like humans can tell which animal is cuter between a rabbit and an ant, but cannot tell which of two ants is cuter. Unless the subject matter is particularly novel, Shiki usually does not have any feelings when reading light novels.

But because he has a level 10 writing ability, his ability to appreciate words is far stronger than that of ordinary people. It is not the kind of over-interpretation in reading comprehension, but he can really see through the text the emotions of the author when he wrote the text.

Chapter 124 Love Letter

It is because of this that the four seasons can be seen.

This novel is more like a love letter in essence than a light novel written by Yamada Fairy as a transition.

An extremely long love letter of nearly 50,000 words from a girl to him.

The protagonist Hisen refers to the Four Seasons, and she herself simply goes by her real name Emily, without even giving any acting credit.

So after this guy finishes writing, he will be driven by excitement and send it to her immediately without stopping... I'm afraid even she herself is vaguely aware that if she leaves it until the next day, when her feverish head cools down, with her somewhat proud personality, she will hesitate for a long time about whether to show the novel to him.

Even if one just flips through the novel casually, Si Ji can see the overflowing love of a young girl between the lines of the novel.

This made Si Ji a little hesitant to read it a second time after he finished reading it once - in fact, even for someone as thick-skinned as Si Ji, when he read it for the first time, the undisguised love expressed in the other party's words still made him blush.

This made Si Ji warn himself over and over again in his heart: Why are you shy? She is still a child!

Shiki looked at the girl in the bed, thinking that she should still be awake, but to his surprise, the Yamada fairy seemed to adapt very well to his bed, or maybe staying up late made her quite sleepy. In short, she was now half asleep, in a state of being asleep but not completely asleep.

"Really? You even brought out something like this. How am I going to face you from today on?"

Four Seasons couldn't help but sigh softly.

“Hehehe…” The dazed girl probably heard his mumbling and said sleepily, “Just smile… Hum…”

Her sleeping face was insanely cute. Even when her head was resting on the pillow, her face looked a little flatter, highlighting its softness, which made Si Ji want to pinch it gently to experience that soft feeling.

"Ouch... my face hurts..."

"..."

It seems like it's been a bit too much.

As soon as Si Ji let go of her hands, the girl's face returned to its original shape like a mochi, except that the places that were pinched turned a little red, making the girl look even more delicate and attractive.

"Come to think of it, why did you write yourself as a villain in the book?" Si Ji asked curiously, "If you were the heroine, you would have more room to play among the protagonists, right?"

Simply put, it is easier to show sweetness as the queen.

This is indeed the case. Due to the setting, Emily has very little interaction with the male protagonist in the early stages, and she is even always on the verge of rebelling.

So at the beginning, this love letter did not have that kind of particularly explicit feeling. It was like a frog in boiling water. When he realized this later, from the moment Si Ji suddenly realized it, he could no longer escape.

Is this setting just to boil the frog in warm water?

After a brief analysis of the writing techniques, Si Ji came to a conclusion.

"Hehe...because if they are decent, don't they often sacrifice their loved ones for the greater good?" The girl said softly in a daze, as if she was talking in her sleep.

"But if I were a villain, wouldn't I be able to abandon the whole world and love you alone?"

"..."

An indescribable throbbing arose in Si Ji's heart.

After acquiring writing skills, almost all of his writings were written for some specific purpose.

At first, I wrote "Sword and Demon Domain" to make money, and the subsequent "Adventures of a Young Wizard" for fame, and the pure literature and some traditional literature that followed were directly aimed at world awards and influence points.

After his writing skills gradually reached level 10, he never had the urge to write anything from the bottom of his heart.

But now, there is.

"Good night."

He first touched the girl's head, making her smile sweetly as if she was dreaming and fell asleep. Then he took out his laptop and began to type quickly on the document.

If this untitled novel of the girl is her love letter to me, then I must respond.

It's just that 'Washimiya Shiki' doesn't have that ability, so he can only respond in the identity of 'Natsume Makuru' for the time being.

Even though there is a possibility of being exposed, Si Ji still plans to write something based on the throbbing in his heart.

Of course, unlike Nana’s girl, although the words he wrote as a contemporary literary giant were indeed a response to the love letter, the emotions did not leak out between the lines, and it would probably be difficult for ordinary people to see that.

"I wonder when this guy will find out..."

When he thought about the day in the future when he would no longer need to hide his identity and what kind of expression the girl would have when he told her about it, Si Ji couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Of course, this novel as a response also needs to be published, but how to publish it is very important. After all, Natsume Makuru is now a national treasure. Any novel published casually will definitely be magnified by a large group of critics, and it will be difficult to explain if some strange things are found.

"Well, it just so happens that Maple Leaf Technology has made a big move recently... so I might as well add fuel to the fire as Natsume Makuru-ryu."

As we all know, "Sword Art Online" is the dark history of Natsume Makuru, a national treasure of our time, so he almost never mentions this series of light novels in public.

And this secret known to everyone also makes Natsume Shonuryu less aloof in the eyes of ordinary people - you see, that great writer was not able to write such amazing words at the beginning, he also wrote cool light novels in the beginning!

Now, in order to promote the consciousness linking device, Maple Leaf Technology plans to find some lackeys to jointly release a stealth game. The background of the game is "Sword Online". According to Natsume Makuru's hot-tempered personality, he should have jumped out to curse a few words long ago, but he has not spoken until now, which is obviously not normal.

Therefore, Si Ji planned to exert pressure layer by layer in the name of Qiu Ling Wenping, and finally put the pressure on Maple Leaf Publishing House, asking the publishing house to contact "Natsume Makuryu" and let this national treasure of the time write a spin-off of "Sword Art Online" to help promote the game.

In this way, Natsume Makuryu will have an excuse to publish a new novel, and because of the subject matter and the origin of the novel, it will not be interpreted back and forth by many people like other articles he has published now.

He could even stand up and scold Qiu Ling Wenping, saying, "Although he gave me too much, I still wrote the novel, but this is interfering with free creation, blah blah blah," to earn himself some influence points for pocket money.

Anyway, I am just scolding myself, there is nothing shameful about it, it can't be regarded as eating and ruining the pot...

Thinking of this, Si Ji no longer hesitated and began to enter the title of the novel on the document.

Sword and Fairy: Resurrection
