The Yamada Fairy stood up and bowed, "I'm sorry to bother you, Hashima. If you're having financial difficulties lately due to your family's illness, I can lend you some."
Because Neon's medical expenses were very expensive, she was polite to the other party.
The meaning of this is like asking "Have you eaten? If not, you can come to my house for dinner" even though you know the other person will not come to your house. It's just a casual greeting.
After all, Hashima's achievements in light novels are better than hers, so he should be richer than her.
Ryosuke and the fairy turned around and were about to leave when they were stopped by someone behind them.
"Wait, come back and sit down first." Hashima Izuki shouted with a frown.
Ryosuke and the fairy looked at each other and returned to their seats.
An idea popped up in both of their minds at the same time.
He doesn't really want to borrow money, does he?
The development of things seemed to be somewhat different from what they had imagined.
Seeing the two people's confused looks, Hashima Itsuki smiled and explained: "You look like you are worried that I don't have enough money for medical treatment? Thank you for your concern, but my friend has already lent me a large sum of money, and I can pay it back slowly later. My sister's operation went well and she will be discharged soon."
Yamada Fairy didn't expect that his words would come true. "Are you really short of money? If you are, I can lend it to you. If it's not enough, you can ask my brother to borrow from you."
Hashima Itsuki smiled and said nonchalantly: "My previous royalties were basically used to pay off my family's debts. Although I still have some external debts now, they are not much."
Every family has its own difficulties, and Ryosuke didn't ask any further questions.
Seeing that the other party looked relaxed and didn't seem to be faking it, Yamada Fairy breathed a sigh of relief.
So she took the initiative to change the subject and complained, "That's too much. You haven't written a book for two years, but now you've come back and you've snatched my original book release schedule, so my lovely readers can't see my work earlier."
Grab the schedule?
Seeing the girl's resentful look, Hashima frowned slightly.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to be being used as a tool. "I published the book because the creditor was asking for a debt."
At the same time, he added secretly in his heart.
Damn Chris, he informed me this morning to release the new book early, but he didn't tell me he was going to do this.
In fact, Hashima originally planned to release a new book next month after his sister fully recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
His sister had been hospitalized some time ago and when she needed money the most, Chris Yamada lent him a large sum of money without saying a word, which touched him very much.
So he was very grateful to his good brother Chris. After all, there are many people who add icing on the cake, but few who help in times of need.
Chris asked him to send the books in advance, and he cooperated obediently without even asking the reason.
Now he finally understood why Chris had a video call with him in the morning.
I also understand what Chris meant when he said, "Just do it. No matter who asks you, just shut up."
Anyone who hurts his own sister is truly guilty of a heinous crime.
Damn it Chris, I, Hashima Itsuki, now declare that I have broken off with you.
I'm going to pay you back later!
"Senior Hashima, may I ask why you stopped writing?" Ryosuke was a little puzzled.
What on earth could have caused such a popular writer with total sales of over 10 million copies to suddenly announce that he would stop writing?
Will he encounter the same reason in the future?
Hashima Itsuki rested his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and covered the lower half of his face.
He stared at Hiratsuka Ryosuke and made a low, hoarse voice.
"Hiratsuka, I saw a news report once."
"A reporter asked the old farmer if he would donate 10 million yen. The old farmer nodded."
"The reporter then asked the farmer if he would donate a car if he had one. The farmer nodded again."
"The reporter finally asked the old farmer, if you have a cow, would you donate it? The old farmer shook his head at this time. Do you know why?"
Ryosuke thought for a moment and answered, "Because the old farmer really has a cow?"
Hashima Itsuki put down his hands, his eyes dimmed, and he said helplessly in a self-deprecating tone: "Yes, that's the reason for me too."
"At the age of 16, I won the Rookie of the Year Award and have been working on the front lines of light novels to create the ultimate sister that has never been seen before."
"I am also an inspiration-based writer. Because I don't have a sister, I can imagine some obscene and shameless plots without restraint. In order to find inspiration, I can even play role-playing games by myself, put on stockings in the bathroom and make coquettish movements, so as to fantasize about my sister's coquettish scenes."
"Until one day, someone suddenly told me that Chihiro Hashima was not my brother, but my sister. Then I couldn't use that kind of imagination anymore. That's why I stopped writing."
"I'm not a real pervert. Whenever I want to write, my sister's face appears in my mind and I can't write at all."
Finally, he smiled bitterly and said to himself, "What decent person would have that kind of desire for his own sister, would you?"
After hearing what the other party said before, Ryosuke was hesitant to speak and wanted to say directly, "Senior, you are already perverted enough."
But the other party's last sentence made him silent for a moment, and he began to change the subject, "Then why did I hear that your new work is also about girls?"
Hashima Itsuki nodded and sighed, "That was a novel I completed before I stopped writing. After learning about the cruel reality, I never published it. Isn't this a debt for me? I have no choice but to pay it back."
Life is full of helplessness. Sometimes, even if you don’t like it, you have to face it.
Simply running away will not solve the problem, so Ryosuke always faces difficulties head-on.
Hashima Itsuki suddenly asked, "By the way, Hiratsuka, are you worried about the release date of Yamada-chan's new book?"
Ryosuke nodded when he heard that, and realized that the other party had not finished speaking, so he humbly asked, "Senior Itsuki, please give me some advice."
Hashima Itsuki glanced at the Yamada Fairy first, then stood up and waved to Hiratsuka Ryosuke, "Hiratsuka, come with me."
Ryosuke followed the other person out of the pavilion, and the two men began to whisper to each other.
Their behavior caught the eyes of Yamada Fairy, making her look confused.
Aren't we discussing the schedule of her work? Why do we have to keep it from her?
Outside the pavilion, after the two men separated, Hashima Itsuki patted Ryosuke's shoulder.
With a lewd smile on his face, he said, "Do it well. I'm counting on you, boy."
Hiratsuka Ryosuke understood why Hashima's smile suddenly became obscene.
I just feel confused.
Was there anything in what was just said that fairies couldn’t hear?
Senior Hashima is really a strange person.
But he didn't dwell on it for too long, and said respectfully, "Thank you, Hashima-senpai."
Hashima Itsuki smiled and replied, "It's just a piece of cake. It's quite difficult to accomplish this task. In the end, it depends on you."
Yamada Fairy heard the conversation between the two men.
What on earth had they just talked about?
What is difficult?
Aren’t those two people talking about her?
Her face showed more and more urgency, and her heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
"Fairy teacher, go back!" Ryosuke called out to the golden-haired loli outside the pavilion.
She jumped off the stool upon hearing the sound, and walked towards Ryosuke with her two white silk legs, looking puzzled.
"Then we really say goodbye this time, Senior."
Hashima Izuki made a fist with one hand, raised a thumb, and winked at Ryosuke, "Goodbye, I hope everything goes well for you, I'm counting on you."
He watched the two people's backs gradually moving away and laughed secretly in his heart.
Don't blame me, Chris.
I didn't betray you, but it's your fault for not telling me clearly before.
My sister is a creature that needs someone to protect her.
Chapter 142: The Kind Fairy
Hashima Izuki looked at the two people's backs getting farther and farther away and nodded secretly.
After a brief observation, he found that the boy who could gain the trust of Yamada-chan did not seem like a bad person.
I believe that my sister is the most perfect creature in the world and needs to be cared for with all my heart.
Since Chris, the brother, has failed in his duty, it would be better if someone else could protect little sister Yamada.
He hadn't actually told Ryosuke any dirty jokes just now, but was giving his advice seriously.
He deliberately spoke in an ambiguous tone, mainly to arouse Yamada's curiosity.
In the end, Yamada-chan will definitely not be able to help but ask the boy, and the answer she will get in the end will definitely be something irrelevant.
In this way, with the little girl's curiosity, she would be more suspicious that the two men were secretly talking about something unpleasant from her.
Hashima Itsuki, who was familiar with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", was secretly proud of his own strategy.
Just then, he suddenly received a video call.
He clicked the answer button and greeted the long-haired handsome guy on the screen with a smile.
"Hey, Chris, good afternoon."
"Yiyue, did anyone come to see you this afternoon?"
"Yes. It's your sister and a handsome boy. He's not bad looking, about one-fifth as good-looking as I was when I was young. Don't worry, I didn't betray you."
"Really? You've already met them. What do you think of their relationship?"
Chris Yamada asked seriously. Since Machida had not reported these things, he could only do it through his friends.
Hashima Izuki laughed secretly in his heart, you used me as a gun and I haven't settled the score with you yet.
"Ah~ Your sister and that boy seem to have a very close relationship. Not only do they call each other by name, but their tone is also very intimate. Tsk tsk, it makes my scalp tingle just by listening to it."
Upon hearing this, Chris Yamada on the screen lowered his eyebrows.
Did Emily really not lie to her mother?
Then let me see how far that boy can go for you.
Seeing the silence on the other side of the screen, Hashima Itsuki asked seriously, "Hey, Chris. Do you know that doing this will hurt your sister? She looks very sad that her schedule was taken away. You don't have to do this to her, right? I was originally planning to go on the show next month, but you insisted that I go on it earlier. Don't you deserve an explanation for me?"
Chris Yamada pondered for a moment, thinking that although Hashima Itsuki usually spoke incoherently, he was actually a trustworthy and tight-lipped person.
So he told the whole purpose of what he did.
After hearing this, Hashima Izuki's eyes widened and he began to organize his words.
"Hey, you said that you deliberately arranged to take away your sister's schedule? Did you also negotiate the contract for the Hiratsuka animation over the phone?"
"The purpose is to observe Hiratsuka and see if he will give up his popular book on the shelves for the sake of your sister."
"What kind of logic is this? I really don't understand how rich people think. What if he doesn't give up? Then won't Yamada-chan really be delayed?"
Chris Yamada explained calmly: "My father gave up everything he had in Neon for my mother."
"If that young man can't even give up this little fame and fortune, he has no right to get more."
"Didn't you say that their relationship is already very close? I just want to see how much Emily means to him."
"If he really won't give up, then you can just postpone it. I'm the deputy editor-in-chief, and I'm also your creditor. All of this is for Emily's future happiness. As long as she can be happy, it's more important than anything else."
Hashima Itsuki sighed softly and said helplessly: "Your strong side is really annoying, Chris. But that boy might do something you don't expect."
Chris Yamada narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by that? You didn't do anything unnecessary, did you?"
Hashima scratched his head and laughed awkwardly: "Ahaha, why would I do unnecessary things? You know I'm the laziest person, and we are good brothers, how could I betray you."
He understood everything at this moment. Chris was playing one of those strange testing games of rich people for the happiness of his sister.
I realized that I had just done something unnecessary, but I was too embarrassed to tell my good brother directly.
You can't just tell him, "Brother, I didn't sell you out, but I just sold your sister."
Yamada-chan has always been a carefree person, so she shouldn’t be that curious, right?
