Why are there only loser heroines around me?

"Nothing."

When Xiaoju asked again, Youjing stopped talking.

Sooner or later she will know what kind of person she is. Being in the same society, intersections are inevitable. As she gradually understands her own personality and the principles of interpersonal communication, she will understand that the question just now is not ridiculous, but rather a little absurd.

Xiaoju was sent to the destination in ten minutes.

Ukyo saw the boy standing in the attic waiting for his sister to come home from school, and he nodded at him.

"I just stared at you in the rearview mirror. Actually, your facial features are very neat. There's no need to feel inferior."

“Ugh!?”

Xiaoju was so scared that she immediately let go of the hand that was holding Youjing's waist and jumped out of the car seat. Her face turned red and she quickly ran under the eaves.

As the door opened, Xiaoju turned back, her cheeks still flushed. She'd rarely been complimented on her looks, and she'd been shy at first, but the sight of Ukyo in the rain chilled her. He looked at her as if he were looking at someone else... a friend who'd been away for a long time. They sat in silence, the rain between them, Xiaoju captivated by those beautiful eyes until the door suddenly opened, and her mother emerged. She smiled, thanked Ukyo, and asked if he wanted to come in.

The rain was so heavy and the sky was so dark that Ukyo pretended not to hear and started the engine and went home.

Xiaoju looked up at the sky and rubbed her cold arms back and forth, "It's so cold..." Staring at the track where the motorcycle left, Xiaoju remembered that she had not said thank you to him yet.

........

.....

Half an hour later.

Ukyo drove the car into the garage and went upstairs skillfully.

Sending Xiaoju home was just a small episode in his tonight, which did not delay what he was going to do next.

Fill the bathtub with water, sink to the bottom while fully clothed, and hold your breath.

First time, 45 seconds.

Adjustment of status.

The second time, 1 minute and 30 seconds.

By the third time, his condition started to decline, reaching only 39 seconds.

The game required him to hold his breath for three minutes. Ukyo guessed that he couldn't do it, but he didn't expect that his breath-holding time would regress so much.

This body is not bad, and he has done underwater breath-holding training before, so it is not difficult for him to hold his breath for three minutes. But the problem is that Ukyo doesn't know how long it will take him to recover to three minutes. If he can't do it within two days, he can only rely on luck to dive during the training.

He doesn't like leaving his future to chance.

Fourth dive...

One minute and twenty seconds.

........

隔天，star moon 5。

Not long after Ukyo sat down in the classroom, Lemon took the seat of the classmate in front of him, turned around and begged him, "Xiaoju~! Please delete the video!"

So the nickname Xiaoju wasn't a sudden idea you came up with when you had a heat stroke, but you've wanted to call it that for a long time, right?

Yana, who was in front of her, noticed her ears move and accidentally heard the name "Xiaoju". She was surprised that Shaoyan dared to call her such a nickname, and was also surprised that Ukyo Devil did not frown or scold her after hearing this nickname.

Yanami often felt that the process of getting along with Ukyo was like stroking the fur of a lion, and if he was not careful, the lion would bite him back. In comparison, Shaoyan had actually achieved harmonious coexistence between "humans and animals", which was really not easy.

"Xiaoju~!" Yanaijian suddenly jumped out from the side, holding on to Ukyo's desk with his hands, and asked curiously: "What? What video?!"

Ukyo frowned slightly.

Is Yanaijian trying to test his bottom line?

"I advise both of you to change your nickname back. From now on, I'll design this name as a trigger word for my phone. If you dare to call it, the video and photos will be automatically sent to your Bai Yueguang's phone via LINE." You Jing raised his phone and said, "You two, I'm not a demon, and this matter is not my fault. You both gave me the handle, so... let's just get along peacefully from now on."

"Da-me~!"

"Don't send it~!"

Yanami and Lemon simultaneously grabbed Ukyo's raised arm with both hands.

"I know I was wrong, and I won't scream again."

"Woo woo~, I don't dare anymore."

Let’s not talk about Lemon for now because she hasn’t confessed her feelings to Bai Yueguang yet.

Ukyo really couldn't understand why Yanami was scared. In his opinion, that photo should be called "revenge" for Kusuke. If you want the other person to regret breaking up with you, you have to work hard to become someone who is out of reach of others, so that the other person won't even have the courage to look you in the eye.

For example, getting an exaggerated and terrifying score.

For example, ignore him from now on.

Could it be that just like a loser can’t get rid of the loser label, a loser will have to stick with the loser title for the rest of his life?

He often couldn't stand the feeling of powerlessness in his junior. Although Yanami was full of energy and there was no suspicious sign, she was just hiding her powerlessness. For example, now that Kusai and Karen walked in from the door talking and laughing, Yanami held his arm with a strength that was even stronger than that of Lemon, the athlete.

So he exerted a little force, tensed the muscles in his arms, and pushed the two girls' hands apart.

"See you in Yana, go back to your seat."

"Ah?" Drive her away?

Among adolescent high school boys who exude the aura of "wanting to mate", there should be no one who drives away cute, beautiful, energetic girls, but Ukyo is an exception.

"Lemon, you go back too."

"what?"

"Oh well."

Shaoyan waved her hand and returned to her seat. Unlike Yanami, she didn't think about the reason why Ukyo had driven her away. After all, she knew Ukyo better and knew that he seemed a bit "woman-phobic."

This conclusion was drawn by Lemon and Ukyo when they were running, because his eyes were always looking forward and he never looked at the beautiful girls on the track and field team who were wearing track suits and had sexy figures.

But the class's attention was focused on Ukyo, and almost all of them were boys.

There were more people looking at Yanami and Lemon, and most of them were girls.

Those eyes were definitely not friendly. They were filled with jealousy and malice...

.......

...

"What a horrible morning..."

The scene comes to the activity room during lunch break.

Yanaijian took out the lunch box he had prepared last night and complained as a matter of course:

"I was really worried about being blocked at the classroom door at noon. I might have to be more careful when going to the bathroom next time. I might get splashed with paint in the cubicle... Girls' jealousy is terrifying."

"But I heard about a girl in junior high school. I heard that she was bullied because she handed you a lunch box. As a result, all the bullies transferred to other schools the next day. This incident has become one of the top ten campus legends of our Shifu Junior High School. I heard that the reason those girls dropped out was because you taught them a lesson."

"I've wanted to ask this before, is this true?"

Yanaijian is becoming more and more courageous.

"It's true." Ukyo said.

"What did you do to them?"

Ukyo was fiddling with his hand-cranked coffee maker. He'd brought coffee beans today, but they were from a convenience store, so they felt a bit overkill for this antique machine. As steaming hot coffee dripped into the white porcelain cup, Ukyo said it didn't matter what he did; what mattered was that if anyone dared to bully him, his 30 yen monthly kendo dojo membership would come in handy.

In addition, I have to bring a bamboo sword to the weekend training camp, and he will help me make up for the regret of not being able to go to the kendo dojo.

"Yanami, remember to bring all protective gear, bandages, and sprain medicine..."

"eat!"

Yanami poked the chopsticks into Ukyo's mouth and stuffed a piece of fried chicken that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

She smiled happily and picked up another piece of takoyaki, trying to shut Ukyo's mouth with food.

Before Ukyo could frown, she changed the subject, "Have you decided what to write about during the training camp?"

Before Ukyo could reply, the next mouthful of food, accompanied by rice, was waiting for him. It was a small cucumber, the pride of the Mikawa region, highly regarded within the industry. Yana noticed that this bento was even better than her usual meals, and as a reward for the 30 yen, she had clearly put a lot of thought into it.

This made Ukyo forgive Yanami's "overstepping his authority". He never disliked people who were serious and attentive.

"Let's write about the city," he said.

Volume 33: Chapter : The Hero's Journey

city?

This topic is somewhat broad.

Among the various urban themes in the light novel library, "love" should be the majority.

"Could it be that Ukyo is going to try a romance theme? I really can't see it. Is it because it doesn't exist in real life that he wants to fill it in the novel? That's right, I heard that people who have never been in love know best what the beautiful love fantasies of high school students are like, but people who have been in love often can't write works related to it."

"Yanagi..."

"Ok?"

"You are becoming more and more courageous." How could Ukyo not hear that Yanami was taking the opportunity to attack him.

He retaliated mercilessly, "How can a woman who has been with her childhood sweetheart for 12 years and lost without even confessing her feelings have the guts to comment on romance? Do you think you're an expert in romance? Oh, by the way, when I was riding my motorcycle home yesterday, I saw Kusuke and Karen kissing in front of the Daimaru supermarket..."

"I was wrong!" Yanaijian put down the lunch box and put his hands together in front of him, "Don't tell me such things... I will cry..."

Her pupils were out of focus.

Tears fell so cheaply, and her nose also reacted, but she quickly suppressed it. She cried... but it couldn't be considered a complete cry. She knew that the harder she cried, the less ruthless Ukyo's words would be. She still remembered the words in her heart: "What's the use of your tears? Can you bring back a grass?"

Yes, tears are useless. Yanami decided to cry less often in the future, but it was strange... Was he a tearful person in the past? Things gradually became clear in his heart. It seemed that the last few times he cried were because of the Ukyo demon...

If you look at it from this perspective, maybe he's really good at writing urban romances? After all, he's very good at drawing tears from girls' eyelids.

Ukyo didn't know that in just a few short seconds, Yanami had labeled him as "good at writing urban romance novels".

In fact, she misunderstood.

This urban style isn't about urban romance, but rather urban combat, something rarely seen in light novels. It's also not the once-popular Academy City fighting style, but realistic urban combat, with a touch of mystery thrown in. If I had to ask if there's a similar example in the industry, it's a bit like a later-stage Conan theatrical release.

He studied the best-selling themes of Japanese light novels and finally came to the conclusion that -

[Another World] is not a "dead frame" that makes it into the rankings. All the previous award-winning works, battle stories cannot be separated from the word "cool", and love stories cannot be separated from "sweetness" and "stomachache".

He browses more romance-themed content.

In his understanding, youth romance works mainly focus on the theme of "not being able to get it", and they focus on the cautiousness of adolescent boys and girls when facing their first love. In all romance series, as long as the male and female protagonists establish a relationship, the sales of the work will inevitably decline. Whether it is a harem or a solo promotion work, the result is the same. So Ukyo came to another conclusion -

Once the hero "pushes" the heroine, that woman's place in the book is effectively dead. This is something he deeply dislikes. Ukyo had long ago decided that if he ever met a girl he liked again, he would do whatever it took to get her. No nagging, just a simple, direct attack.

To sum up, he cannot write romance works because they will be completed in 1~2 volumes and will not be able to boost sales.

Since the paths of "sweetness" and "stomachache" are not feasible, the only option is "refreshing".

So Ukyo began to think, what is "cool"?

Simply beat up the bad guys?

Suddenly gaining super powers one day?

save the world?

.....

"There are a lot of works with similar themes, right?" Yue Zhimu suddenly walked into the club office.

As a senior high school student, Tsukinoki Koto doesn't seem to worry about his academic advancement crisis at all. He even has free time in the afternoon to get together with his freshman classmates in the activity room.

She picked up the coffee bean package on the table, smiled at Ukyo and said, "Mr. President, do you mind?"

Ukyo gestured for him to do as he pleased.

Only when Yue Zhimu held the white porcelain cup, raised his little finger, and sat down on the velvet sofa could the previous topic be continued.

"There are a lot of similar themes, but whether it's suddenly gaining superpowers or beating up bad guys, it's too monotonous."

Ukyo said, "Have you ever heard of the 'Hero's Journey Theory'?"

"What?" Yue Zhimu shook her head. This was the first time she heard of it.

Ukyo's next words shocked Tsukinoki several times over the course of a few minutes. She began to marvel at the knowledge accumulated by the top student, but also felt her own insignificance. Her idea of ​​writing a novel was just a whim, wanting to write some gay stories between male writers from the Heisei era in Japan, but this guy Ukyo—

"Mythology master Joseph Campbell was extremely interested in Native American mythology when he was a child, so he began to study myths and folk tales from all over the world. Later, he discovered an astonishing fact: myths all over the world look the same."
