In the anime, Kira Yoshikage longs for a peaceful life

"Eh?"

Shimazaki Yuna choked up and was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Kira Yoshikage said this.

However, Kira Yoshikage continued to mutter to himself:

"I have learned one thing from my short life——"

"The harder you work, the easier it is to be fired due to unexpected circumstances, and all your previous efforts will be wasted. Unless you surpass the workers!"

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand." Shimazaki Yuna moved her stiff body.

Kirara Yoshikage's face turned serious:

"What I mean is, I don't want to work anymore!"

He decided that he wanted to go beyond being a wage earner and become a noble flexible worker!

As long as he is a flexibly employed person, he will never be unemployed, and the peaceful life he desires will not be disrupted.

Among those working in flexible employment, the easiest and most stable career is light novel writer.

For successful light novel writers, making money is as fast as robbery, but without the risk - robbing money from otaku is much safer than robbing money from a bank, and you can even make more money.

Moreover, he also has some 'writing' experience.

"Ms. Shimazaki."

Kira Yoshikage raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him, "As a reward for saving you, can you be my illustrator?"

Based on Shimazaki Yuna's seemingly frightened crying tone, Kira Yoshikage thought she would refuse.

So he had a second-hand preparation. A big pink cat was floating in the air, looking at the girl calmly.

"sure."

Shimazaki Yuna's voice was so soft that even Kirara Yoshikage could hardly hear it:

"If it's you, anything is fine."

What Shimazaki Yuna didn't know was that all of this was an idea that Kira Yoshikage came up with when he learned that she was an artist.

As we all know, whether a light novel is well written is not the most important thing; the key lies in whether the illustrations are good.

For the largest audience of light novels, the vast group of otaku.

As long as the quality of the illustration is high enough, it is not impossible to get toilet paper for free when you buy an illustration.

On the contrary, no matter how well a light novel is written, it will not be popular if the illustrations are lousy.

As an artist, Shimazaki Yuna is undoubtedly qualified.

As for whether he can write a decent roll of toilet paper? Isn't it enough to have hands?

"very good."

Although he was somewhat surprised by the girl's answer, Kira Yoshikage still smiled with satisfaction and extended his hand to the girl:

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Kira Yoshikage, I'm 16 years old and unmarried."

"unmarried?"

Shimazaki Yuna's face turned red. Was he hinting at something? But the girl quickly concealed her good mood and asked cautiously:

"Hmm~, what kind of work do you want to write, Kira-kun?"

Kira Yoshikage answered very naturally:

"It's better to be ordinary and not attract any attention."

"Eh?"

Shimazaki Yuna was stunned for a moment. Generally speaking, don’t people hope for the higher the quality, the better?

Although she is an artist rather than a writer, light novel writers basically aim for awards, right?

Besides, don’t we usually decide on the subject matter first?

Chapter 7: Fishmaid Qiang: Please turn on the microphone to communicate

"that,"

Shimazaki Yuna asked hesitantly, "Which library do you want to submit your work to, Kira-kun?"

There are three giants in Japanese light novels, and each of them has a representative subject matter as its development area.

Therefore, which library Kira Yoshikage tends to submit to more often can also determine his subject matter to a certain extent.

"unimportant."

"But……"

Shimazaki Yuna was about to say something, but she held back and asked:

"So, what is Kira-kun's goal? The silver reward? Or the bonus reward?"

Generally speaking, the three major libraries have novel awards specifically for new writers.

For example, the Dengeki Novel Awards held by Dengeki Bunko, the awards from high to low are:

Grand reward, gold reward, silver reward, and bonus reward.

Shimazaki Yuna just thought that Kira Yoshikage had no confidence in winning the award, so he said something like "average at best"...

“It’s better not to win the award.”

Kira Yoshikage's answer once again caught Shimazaki Yuna off guard. She couldn't help but whisper a reminder, "But there's a prize for winning, and Kira-kun looks short of money, doesn't he? Besides, the library will generally only give priority to publishing works that win awards. If you don't win..."

Shimazaki Yuna paused for a moment. If she couldn't win the award, she might not even be qualified to be published, let alone make money.

But these words were somewhat hurtful, and Shimazaki Yuna didn't have the heart to say them out loud.

Kirara Yoshikage was silent. This was true. He thought for a while before speaking:

"Then give me a reward, a silver reward will do."

The grand prize is 3 million yen, the gold prize is 1 million yen, and the silver prize is 500,000 yen.

As for the bonus, the prize is only 100,000 yen, which is purely a participation award. A prize of 100,000 yen can only be regarded as an encouragement.

If you want to be inconspicuous, then rewards are the most suitable -

By the way, the prize money for each award is fixed.

If there are two competitors for a certain award, there will be a primary prize and a secondary prize at the same time, and the prize money will be divided equally between the primary and secondary prizes.

For Kira Yoshikage, who is a time traveler, it is not difficult to find excellent subject matter.

There are many themes that he knows of that have won the Grand Prize, such as "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", "Accel World", "Re:Zero -Starting Book", "86 -Non-Existent War Zone-"...

He also knew of many gold prizes, such as "You're the only one who likes me?", "There's a Fox Fairy in My House", "The Wine of Eternal Life"...

There are even more silver awards, such as "Spice and Wolf", "Part-time Job! Demon Lord", "Roku Club!"...

Theoretically, you can win the prize as long as you pick any one of the silver medal works.

But depending on the world, these works may win higher awards.

Kira Yoshikage looked extremely calm. He would rather do nothing than do anything wrong.

If he won a gold bounty or even a grand bounty, it would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to his peaceful life.

Therefore, the safest approach is to find a work that has never won an award but has been fortunate enough to be animated, preferably one that gives away toilet paper when you buy an illustration.

After some thought, Kira Yoshikage finally decided on two works.

The first person to create a free toilet paper gift when buying an illustration, "Infinite Stratos" (IS) is hailed as a masterpiece.

And the last cool anime I watched before Kira Yoshikage traveled through time: "I Want to Become a Powerful Shadow!"

With the toilet paper of the other world series everywhere, "I Want to Become a Powerful Shadow Man!" can barely be considered a high-quality toilet paper.

The quality of the original work is quite average, and it is saved entirely by the illustrations and high-quality animation.

Shimazaki Yuna didn't know what Kira Yoshikage was thinking, and thought he was hesitating about what topic to write about, so she carefully gave her suggestions:

"Kira-kun, the most popular thing right now is light novels about an alternate world. If you don't know what to write, why not consider writing about an alternate world?"

Shimazaki Yuna gave advice seriously.

For new writers, following the trend is often the best choice.

It may not necessarily become popular, but it is not too difficult to achieve results.

Kira Yoshikage suddenly turned his gaze towards Shimazaki Yuna who was sitting on the bed, making the girl a little nervous, thinking she had said something wrong.

However, Kira Yoshikage's expression remained calm:

"to not fix."

Since Isekai is so popular, I won’t write “I Want to Become a Powerful Shadow Master!”, but directly choose the masterpiece “IS”!

As for whether "IS" will become a masterpiece in this world and become famous.

Kira Yoshikage wasn't worried at all.

At worst, he could just give up before IS becomes famous, right?

After deciding on the subject matter, Kira Yoshikage decided to start work.

There was still half an hour until 11 o'clock, so he could make a start.

Open your computer and create a new document.

Renamed: Infinite Stratos

After thinking for two seconds, Kira Yoshikage wrote his pen name -

At 17, I was afraid that school wasn’t violent enough.

Shimazaki Yuna came forward curiously, leaning her little head next to Kira Yoshikage, staring at the computer screen intently.

"Infinite Stratos?"

Shimazaki Yuna frowned slightly, read out the title of the document in unstandard English, and murmured in a low voice:

"Infinite Stratos?"

Shimazaki Yuna was a little dazed, but suddenly she felt that her hanging pigtail seemed to touch something. She turned around and found that Kira Yoshikage was staring at her intently.

"Ah, sorry..."

Shimazaki Yuna was startled and looked at Kira Yoshikage nervously. It was really ungentlemanly to disturb others when they were creating...

Kirara Yoshikage looked at the girl, at her white jade-like hands, and his tone became much gentler:

"If you have nothing to do, could you give me a massage?"

His eyes were on those hands from beginning to end, and his gaze was gentle as if he was looking at his lover.

"Eh? Ok, ok."

Shimazaki Yuna was stunned for a moment and nodded shyly.

The girl walked barefoot behind Kira Yoshikage and gently kneaded his shoulders with both hands. She spoke in a low voice, somewhat unconfidently:

"I've never done this before, so my technique may not be good..."

“That’s not the case.”

Kira Yoshikage's tone remained gentle, and his eyes were always on the girl's slender hand on his shoulder.

Her hands were as white as jade, slender and delicate, with a faint cherry blossom pink on her fingertips, as if every movement could bring a warm electric stimulation. Under the light, the girl's hands seemed to be glowing with a soft light, shining like pearls.

Kira Yoshikage's eyes became gentler and gentler, even though it was obscene, he was BOKI.

Snapped!

"Eh? What's the sound?"

Shimazaki Yuna looked at the desk in confusion. It seemed that something suddenly bumped under the table. Did it hit his knee accidentally?

"Nothing, you continue."

Kira Yoshikage's expression returned to calm. He spoke lightly and began typing rapidly on the keyboard with his hands.

There are still 11 minutes until 25 o'clock, so I'll just write words.

In this way, while enjoying the girl's massage, Kira Yoshikage typed.
