Chapter 41

"That's right. After that, Mr. Tsukiro can't think of any more plots, right? In addition to expanding the world view to the outside, but the time loop is lifted, this story is already perfect, there is no need to continue."

"Ah, I thought I could see more of Ushio's performance, it's really a bit sad."

"The pre-sale time is temporarily set in December, which is longer than before. It seems that the teacher is also ready to go all out."

"When I think about the end, I suddenly feel lost and unforgettable, but it will end after all."

"I hope the final ending will also make everyone unforgettable...!"

Readers and fans sighed, but they all wished that "Summer Return" would have a good ending.

While everyone was sighing that "Summer Return" was about to end, there was only one person who had a completely different mentality.

That's right, it was Ms. Yamada, the netizen who Hikigaya Hachiman had known for almost two and a half years.

"Hehe, this opportunity has finally come."

Yamada Fairy saw this news and showed joy at the corner of her mouth.

She has always coveted Eromanga-sensei who collaborated with Hikigaya, but she asked the editor and sent private messages online, but she didn't even have the chance to add him as a friend, which made her very angry.

However, now should be the time when she has the greatest chance, because once "Summer Returns" is finished, if Eromanga-sensei can't stay idle, he will naturally consider collaborating with others.

One night, Yamada Fairy sent a greeting.

Elementary School Fairy: Hikigaya, I heard that you are going to finish?

Me: That's right.

Elementary School Fairy: Actually, I am going to finish too.

Me: Miss Yamada, please speak frankly and don't keep us in suspense.

Elementary School Fairy: Okay, I confess, my goal is Eromanga-sensei!

Me: You are still thinking about this, haven't you given up yet? This kind of persistence makes me admire it.

Elementary School Fairy: Of course! For a match made in heaven, waiting is worth it!

Me: Didn't we agree before? Miss Yamada, you have to rely on your own ability. I won't help you.

Elementary School Fairy: I remember you owed me a favor before? I got this by my own ability, right?

Me: Are you sure you want to use this favor?

Elementary School Fairy: I'm sure.

Me: Ha, since Miss Yamada chooses to humiliate herself, I'll give you the contact information of Eromanga teacher.

Hikigaya Hachiman recognized her persistence, so he simply responded to this favor.

"I won't restrict Sagiri's future. She is now a mature illustrator. Let Sagiri make her own choice."

"Finally got it!"

Yamada Fairy excitedly searched for friends with the ID she got and chose to add friends.

After waiting for half an hour, she received a rejection reply.

"Huh?"

Her expression suddenly became particularly wonderful.

"Can't even chat? No, I can't just give up like this."

Yamada Fairy thought about it and wrote a message on the friend adding information column.

"Introduced by Hikigaya. 』

Sure enough, the next friend request was successfully accepted.

Eromanga: Who are you? Why do you say Hikigaya introduced me.

Me: I am Yamada Fairy, and I am here to seek cooperation with you, Eromanga. If you have read my novels, you will understand that I am more suitable for you than him!

Eromanga: I see, it is you again, who actually persuaded Tsukiro to give you my account. You are still persistent enough. It is really touching that you have not given up for so long.

Eromanga: But I still refused.

"Ah!!"

The desperate scream of Yamada Fairy echoed in the living room.

Me: Why! You won't give me a chance! Eromanga, please believe me! We are the best combination. As long as we can be together, we can be invincible!

Eromanga: I don't know if we can be invincible, but in my mind, Tsukiro is irreplaceable, that's all.

"Hmph! What's so cheesy, it's like a confession! What's so good about that guy? He can just write some novels! He's just very hardworking... Hard work can't be considered an advantage! But it's also one of his few charms..."

Yamada Fairy kept muttering.

She wanted to continue typing and chatting with the other party, but found that the other party didn't reply to her at all, as if she was blocked, so she had to stop her harassment.

"Sure enough, the problem is still with Hikigaya!"

Yamada Fairy has thought about this problem clearly.

The person who tied the bell must untie it!

65 On the same road with you

Afterwards, Sagiri confirmed this matter with Hikigaya Hachiman.

Miss Yamada's reaction was really amusing, making him feel inexplicably cute.

Unfortunately, Miss Yamada ultimately failed to understand the difference between the two parties.

Well, actually, he didn't understand why Sagiri was so persistent, but he felt that at least he felt good when he was working with Sagiri, and the cooperation between the two sides was already very proficient. As a human being, it is always difficult to leave his comfort zone.

This is why he thought Sagiri would choose him instead of Miss Yamada.

"Miss Yamada, even if you are yellow-haired, it seems that you can't defeat me."

Hikigaya Hachiman said calmly.

The bleak autumn wind blew past, causing the leaves to fall and flutter.

Hikigaya watched this scene with the corner of his eye, then slowly retracted his gaze and walked onto the slope leading to the school.

He stuffed his handbag under the desk, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at the scenery outside the sky, his eyes a little dull.

It's not that he was in a daze, but he was thinking about some of the paragraphs he wrote yesterday, whether there are any places that can be matched with better words.

Speaking of which, the atmosphere difference in the school has become very large recently.

After all, they are about to graduate, and they have to consider their high school ambitions. Those who want to get into a better school will naturally work harder than usual, and those who were originally lazy will become even more lazy.

This also led to him seeming to be misunderstood.

"Hey, Hikigaya, let's go out together on the weekend? It's boring for you alone, right?"

Don't get me wrong, this is not a drama where a girl wants to take advantage of the opportunity to get closer to the boy she likes, but a normal hedonist suddenly finds that his friends have become hardworking, so he has to seek people who seem to be compatible with him.

"It's too boring, everyone else has suddenly studied hard, Hikigaya, but you are pure, it seems that we are the same kind of people..."

"Forget it, I'm not interested."

But obviously, he, Hikigaya Hachiman, is not such a person, and chose to refuse.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually the first in the grade."

He felt that if he said this sentence at this time, if it was some urban pretentious online article, it should have achieved a good effect. Everyone was shocked and felt incredible.

The show effect of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is here.

However, he felt that he was being too deliberate, and it was meaningless to say this in front of them. If he was in front of someone like Yukino Yukinoshita, he might be interested.

One day.

"The final review results are about to come out. What do you think?"

After his neighbor came to exchange writing opinions with him, he remembered this and asked.

"What else can we do? We can only leave it to fate."

Gokou Ruri sighed.

Her ranking has not changed compared to before, which makes her have no confidence, but after all, she has passed several rounds of review, so she still has a certain chance.

"Even if it doesn't work this year, it will definitely pass next year."

In this regard, Hikigaya Hachiman has nothing to do, so he can only comfort her with words.

"Next year?"

Hearing this, the girl was a little sensitive.

"Year after year, it's really too much of a waste. If I had the talent of Kani Nayuta or Senju Muramasagi, this result would not be possible... Unfortunately, I don't."

Her tone became full of resentment, and she wished she could curse people.

Reality always tells her cruelly that the world is always unfair.

Even if she has tried so hard, she is still far behind others.

When people fall into a trough, negative emotions will surge into their hearts and become what they are now.

Even if the girl has been trying to control her emotions, she still can't avoid an imbalance in her mentality.

"Although you don't have the talent to write novels, you have a strong talent for games. Now I am completely no match for you."

Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly said inexplicably.

"What kind of comforting statement is this!"

Goko Ruri was forced to complain.

"Huh."

She took another deep breath.

"Well, there is no need to care about those invincible characters in the background, and the game is interesting only when it is challenging. A victory that can be obtained casually is meaningless."

Goko Ruri shook her hair, with an ambitious expression on her face.

"That's how it should be."

He nodded secretly.

Then, the day of announcing the final review results came.

Hikigaya Hachiman was also somewhat concerned about this matter, so he also took a look at the results.

This year's Best Award was given to the top-ranked different world work, and the Excellence Award was also given to the following few works, one of which was "Love Metronome" by Kasumigaoka Utaha. Although the daily love works are not as strong as the different world works, they are also a popular theme. After all, the main group of people who read light novels are still young people.

After this, the Excellence Award...

"I got in."

Hikigaya Hachiman saw the name of one of the works and smiled faintly.

Gogen's family.

"I got the newcomer award!"

Even with Gokou Ruri's somewhat dull personality, she couldn't help but shout out in joy.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, Sister Ruri."

"Sister Ruri?"

Hinata and Tamaki, the two younger sisters, were all attracted by the voice.

"Is the condition getting worse?"

Hinata had heard about the second-year syndrome from Komachi.

"What kind of condition is that? What nonsense."

Gokou Ruri walked out of the bedroom with a gloomy look in her eyes.

"Sister Ruri is angry! Run!"

The two younger sisters were immediately startled and fled back to the living room.

Gokou Ruri smiled helplessly and then walked out of Gokou's house.
