In the anime, Kira Yoshikage longs for a peaceful life

Kitagawa Umi put away her phone contentedly, smiling:

"Thank you~"

The weird English sounds a bit strange, but for Japanese people, this pronunciation is just right.

But just as she was about to leave, Kira Yoshikage, who had been looking down at his phone, suddenly grabbed her hand:

"Isn't this Nanami Aoyama's LINE?"

Kitagawa Umi blinked, motioned Kira Yoshikage to look in the direction of the podium, and said cunningly:

"I have to go to class~, I'll send it to you via LINE later."

Kira Yoshikage glanced at the teacher who was about to walk up to the podium, and finally let go of Kitagawa Umi's hand.

Kitagawa Umi returned to her seat and confidently made an OK gesture to her good friend Miura Yumiko.

In fact, she could directly give Aoyama Nanami's LINE to Kira Yoshikage, but Kitagawa Umi had her own selfish motives, because she had added almost all of her classmates' LINE, except Kira Yoshikage's, which always made her feel that it was not perfect enough.

-----------------

No. 8-19, Fujimi -chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

Dengeki Bunko Editorial Department.

"Oh, that's enough!"

Kagurazaka Ayame, who had short brown hair and was wearing a professional OL outfit, sat in front of the computer and sighed.

Although she is no longer an ordinary editor and has signed several authors with outstanding achievements, she is also busy because of the newcomer award that will end in April.

Every year, thousands of light novels are submitted to the Newcomer Award, and these works will be evenly distributed to the editors, who will evaluate them and select qualified works.

Although the first round was an open audition, there were no strict selection requirements. However, each light novel submission was as high as 100,000 words, and 4,000 books was 400 million words. The most important thing is that most of these thousands of works are pure toilet paper!

"No, they are not even as good as toilet paper! The premise of toilet paper is that it can be published, but these works are not even worthy of being published!"

Kagurazaka Ayame's complaints are somewhat personal.

Toilet paper is not the most painful thing. The most painful thing is that some works are poorly written, which makes the writing very bad at the beginning, but the plot is very brilliant. As long as someone is found to polish it in the later stage, it may become a hit.

Therefore, in order to avoid missing out on such "gold", these editors have to insist on reading every light novel submitted to the end.

"Reviewing is painful in itself, and I have to endure the pain of having my eyes contaminated while reading. This is simply murder!"

Kagurazaka Ayame muttered to herself, but her body continued with her work honestly and clicked on another submission.

Infinite Stratos

Pseudonym: 17 years old, afraid that school is not violent enough

"Infinite Stratos? Infinite Stratos?"

Kagurazaka Ayame was a little surprised. The names of light novels these days are getting longer and stranger. It is indeed rare to see a light novel with a 'retro' name like this.

and……

"At 17, I was afraid that the school was not violent enough..."

The corners of Kagurazaka Ayame's mouth twitched slightly. What kind of weird pen name is this?

With this thought in mind, Kagurazaka Ayame clicked on it.

After a quick glance, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Because the author's writing style is excellent!

No matter how bad such an article is, at least it can be said to be well-written.

But when Kagurazaka Ayame finished reading the article, her expression became a little subtle:

"The writing is excellent, and the worldview is quite clever. Although the plot is a bit bland, the excellent writing and the harem elements make the plot secondary. The only problem is..."

“Did I submit this to the wrong library?”

Although this light novel is indeed quite good, and although it has mecha elements, it is still essentially a school romance. This is incompatible with the different world type that Dengeki Bunko mainly promotes, but it fits in very well with the next door Undead River.

By the way, the three major Japanese library are actually one family.

Initially, the three major libraries were indeed independent of each other, but due to mergers and acquisitions among their parent companies, the three major libraries today are actually different departments of the same company.

Of course, the three major libraries are still in competition for the sake of each other's performance.

It's just that the competition has changed from vicious competition to healthy competition.

"who cares!"

Kagurazaka Ayame slammed the table and said confidently:

"Once the manuscript arrives at our Dengeki Bunko, it is a work of Dengeki Bunko!"

In order to prevent the author from running away due to not getting the award, Kagurazaka Ayame gave the evaluation of "Grand Prize" without hesitation!

Anyway, the evaluation is free, and she is not the only one making the evaluation.

She offers a big reward, but others might offer a gold, silver, or even a lower-level reward.

These evaluations can only determine whether the work can pass the first round of selection. As for whether it can pass the second and third rounds and enter the finals, it still needs to be re-evaluated.

So, it’s just a great review, nothing is gone~!

-----------------

Jingle bell bell~!

12: 40.

All four classes in the morning are over, and then there is an hour-long lunch break.

Small groups of students gradually formed, some put tables together and started to eat their own lunch boxes, while more of them left the classroom and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

After all, most students are not locals, and their parents work in other places and cannot prepare lunch boxes for them.

Kira Yoshikage simply replied to the message sent by Aoyama Nanami on LINE, and also stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Miura Yumiko, who has always been strong-willed and has slightly curly blonde hair, dragged her friend to the empty stairwell and asked a little nervously:

"Haimeng, how is it?"

"OK~"

Kitagawa Umi made a V sign and showed Miura Yumiko the friend with the name "Kira-kun" on LINE.

"Phew, thank you!"

Yumiko Miura breathed a sigh of relief, thanked her softly, and saved the contact information on her phone.

Kitagawa Umi looked at her cautious appearance and felt a little strange:

"For this kind of thing, Yumiko, you can actually go and ask him for it yourself, right?"

Miura Yumiko's eyes were a little dim, and she didn't explain.

But her hesitant attitude not only failed to dispel Kitagawa Umi's doubts, but made her even more curious——

What happened to them before?

Chapter 10: The Road to Gakouwa

Jingle bell bell~!

At 3:20 pm, when the bell for the last class rang, Kira Yoshikage picked up his schoolbag and prepared to leave. But at the same time, two female voices called him at the same time.

"Kira-kun."

"Kira Yoshikage!"

One came from Kitagawa Umi, a beautiful blonde girl who was waving at the guide with a smile. Next to her, Miura Yumiko, who also had dazzling blonde hair, looked a little regretful.

Yumiko Miura really wanted to stop her friend right away, but Umi Kitagawa, who wanted to say something else, shut her mouth on her own initiative, because at the door of the classroom, a female teacher in a white coat with long black hair was walking towards them.

That was their Chinese teacher and homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Hiratsuka Shizuka walked straight towards Kira Yoshikage and spoke directly:

"Kira Yoshikage, follow me to the office!"

After saying that, Shizuka Hiratsuka left the classroom without looking back.

Several students immediately showed gloating expressions. They had no connection with Kira Yoshikage, but that didn't stop them from taking advantage of the situation.

Kira Yoshikage ignored the teasing looks from others and just looked calmly at Kitagawa Umi who was standing beside him.

"Kitagawa-san, what's going on?"

Kitagawa Umi showed a sweet smile:

"Kira-kun, we're organizing a class gathering, AA, tonight. Do you want to attend?"

Kirara Yoshikage decisively refused:

"Party? Sorry, I have something else to do and may not be able to attend."

The so-called student parties not only waste money but also consume youth.

If you say it's free, he might be interested, but if it's AA, he really won't be interested.

After all, since there is the premise of AA, some students will definitely take this opportunity to order some particularly expensive things, and their spending will be much higher than normal.

“Oh, I see.”

Kitagawa Umi's smile froze, and she seemed a little disappointed, but also a little unwilling, and wanted to speak again:

"Hey, Kira..."

The girl's words were cut short because Kira Yoshikage had already left the classroom and followed the female teacher without looking back.

-----------------

"Tsk."

In the office, Hiratsuka Shizuka sat on the swivel office chair, crossed her legs, and said unhappily:

"I'm telling you, Kira Yoshikage, you've been working secretly without telling me, right?"

"If Qingshan hadn't come to me, I wouldn't have known about this."

Although Japanese high school students are legally allowed to work part-time, they must obtain the consent of their families and schools. From the family side, they must seek the consent of their parents, and from the school side, they must seek the consent of their teachers.

But generally speaking, teachers will refuse students' requests to work. After all, if students have an accident while working outside, teachers will be responsible. In this case, it is better to have less trouble than more, and directly refusing is the best option.

Facing Hiratsuka Shizuka's sharp gaze, Kira Yoshikage's expression remained unchanged:

“Strictly speaking, this is not concealment.”

"I have been working part-time for half a year, and you have only been my class teacher for two days."

Shizuka Hiratsuka took a cigarette out of the cigarette box:

"Even if that's the case, you still have to get my consent! And, as far as I know, you've been fired now, right? Without a certificate from me, no one would dare to hire you."

"There's no need for that. They won't think I'm a minor."

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had just brought the cigarette to her lips, froze and took the cigarette away.

Just like what Kira Yoshikage said, his height makes it hard for people to think he is an underage student. Hiratsuka Shizuka is tall among women, but she is still a head shorter than Kira Yoshikage.

Even Shizuka Hiratsuka herself, even though she knew she was talking to students in the office, she still subconsciously ignored the fact that Kira Yoshikage was just a student because of his height, and instinctively took out a cigarette.

Hiratsuka Shizuka held the cigarette in her hand and tapped the table twice as if to cover up, trying to change the subject:

"In short, I have understood your situation, and I will give you the certificate. But!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka raised her voice and leaned forward as if to show her authority as a teacher, but due to the huge height difference, her appearance did not feel oppressive at all, but rather looked a little cute.

But Hiratsuka Shizuka herself knew nothing about this, and instead solemnly emphasized:

"Working hours must be strictly limited to no more than 28 hours per week."

"It can't be done."

Kira Yoshikage refused without waiting for her to finish.

"Tsk."

Hiratsuka Shizuka lay back and rubbed her temples with a headache. "Listen to me first. In exchange, I will help you find a job. The hourly wage is twice the minimum wage!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka had read Kira Yoshikage's information and had a certain understanding of his family situation. So she knew very well that Kira Yoshikage was not a born office worker and that he worked 54 hours a week purely out of necessity.
