Chapter 271 No matter who loses, no one can complain!
Maejima Rika bit her red lips and squinted at Watanabe Hina.
So Hina-senpai has always been her rival in love?
Fortunately, she asked out of curiosity, otherwise she really wouldn't know.
Hina-senpai didn't hide anything, which is the best!
However, even if she knew that Hina-senpai was her rival in love, Maejima Rika would not deliberately distance herself from her. She felt that such behavior was meaningless.
After all, there are many people who like Kamishiro-kun, and there is no telling how many there are in the whole school.
There are a lot of people in her own class, so there is really no need.
She said very straightforwardly:
"Senior Hina, although we are both rivals in love."
"But I still hope that we can get along with each other in a friendly manner like before."
"As for Kamishiro-kun, everyone is competing fairly, there is nothing to say about this."
"But my only hope is that no matter who wins or loses, no one is allowed to complain!"
After hearing this, Watanabe Hina also felt that it was very reasonable and said with a straight face:
"Well, I think it's okay."
"After all, I felt very good about getting along with you, Rika, before."
"So I don't think there is any need to make the relationship worse."
After hearing this, Maejima Rika smiled and said:
"Well!"
"I hope one of us can become Kamishiro-kun's girlfriend!"
"After all, besides us, there are still many people in the school who are eyeing him."
Watanabe Hina thought about it and felt that she was right. There were already many rivals in love. If everyone fought to the death, it would be exhausting.
She nodded in agreement:
"Indeed."
"There are really a lot of girls who like Kamishiro-kun."
Chitanda Mirai clasped her hands together and smiled:
"I didn't expect that Hina-senpai and Rika-chan both like Kamishiro-kun."
"I just heard you two say that, and I was a little worried that everyone's relationship would deteriorate."
"But it would be best if you two could still get along as well as before."
Maejima Rika suddenly asked Watanabe Hina curiously:
"Speaking of which, Hina-senpai, what do you like about Kamishiro-kun?"
Watanabe Hina was stunned, but did not hide it, and explained frankly:
"It's better to say that it's because he gives me a sense of security than to say that I like him. "
Chitanda Mirai was also a little curious:
"A sense of security?"
After Watanabe Hina briefly recalled what happened with Kamishiro Hakufeng, a trace of relief flashed across Suya's face, and she explained:
"To explain this matter, I still have to start with my performance phobia."
"Rika probably hasn't heard about me, Mirai should know about it."
Maejima Rika asked in confusion:
"Performance phobia?"
"What is this?"
"And I remember that Hina-senpai won the piano performance championship not long ago?"
"How could there be such a phobia?"
Then, Watanabe Hina briefly explained the situation to Maejima Rika.
Recalling the past, Watanabe Hina's eyes could not help but show a trace of love:
"I think I completely fell in love with Kamishiro-kun during the opening ceremony."
"If it weren't for him, I don't think I could have survived that time, and I might have collapsed on the stage because of the pressure."
Maejima Rika found out that Watanabe-senpai was under so much pressure because her parents were pianists.
And Kamishiro-kun actually went to the senior's performance at that time?
Even the senior was relieved because of Kamishiro-kun's presence, and then performed exceptionally well?
This.
Chitanda Mirai also heard for the first time that Watanabe Hina completely fell in love with Kamishiro Hakufeng at the opening ceremony?
Sure enough, it was at this time.
Chitanda Mirai felt a little unhappy when she thought about it, and didn't want Kamishiro-kun to help others casually.
In his situation, even if it was unintentional, it would probably make the willows flourish.
And this is the case with Hina-senpai!
Maejima Rika asked gossipingly:
"When are you going to confess, Hina-senpai?"
Chitanda Mirai also looked at her curiously:
"I'm curious too!"
Watanabe Hina stretched out her hand to cover her slightly hot face:
"It depends on the situation for me."
Maejima Rika sighed:
"Okay."
She was still thinking that if she fooled him directly, Watanabe-senpai might confess directly.
And then she would definitely be rejected by Kamishiro-kun.
After all, Kamishiro-kun said that he only wanted to study during this period!
I didn't expect that Hina-senpai didn't have this plan.
And now after hearing what Watanabe-senpai said, is it possible that she is going to wait until Kamishiro-kun wants to find a girlfriend before confessing?
Maejima Rika wanted to cry in her heart.
She just felt that she had become a stepping stone for Hina-senpai.
Because of her confession to Kamishiro-kun, she actually told other girls in disguise that he only wanted to study now.
So Hina-senpai chose not to confess so quickly?
But she planned to wait for the right time?
Woohoo~
o(╥﹏╥)o
Confessing too early is not a good choice.
Chitanda Mirai also guessed what Watanabe Hinata was thinking.
I can't help but sigh that the girls who still like Kamishiro-kun are not stupid.
I'm afraid they are all waiting for an opportunity, right?
From this point of view, it is necessary to use other methods to overtake.
Otherwise, if Kamishiro-kun really said that he wanted to find a girlfriend.
Then it would be too late.
Because if he said that, a lot of girls would confess to him directly that day.
Chitanda Mirai didn't know if she could win over Watanabe Hina and Maejima Rika at that time.
Senior Watanabe Hina has the best overall quality.
But Maejima Rika is not that bad.
Rika-chan can be said to have poor grades, and she is also excellent in other aspects.
Especially with this personality, even she herself is afraid that Kamishiro-kun will be attacked by Rika-chan straight ball, and will really agree to Rika-chan.
Urahara Junko looked at them talking about this all the time, pouted and asked:
"Didn't you say study?"
"Why is Junko studying alone?"
The three of them were stunned after hearing this, then looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
I just think it's better to study now.
——
Futaba Publishing House.
It was a little after eight o'clock in the evening.
Kamishiro Hakufeng noticed that Igarashi Chinatsu had been reading his manuscript for three hours.
However, he did not disturb Igarashi Chinatsu who was immersed in the story.
During this time, he was not idle, but silently reading the literature book in his hand, brushing up his experience as a writer.
"Woo woo woo~"
Igarashi Chinatsu looked at Kamishiro Hakufeng's manuscript and began to cry and sob for no reason.
But even though she cried, her eyes were still on the manuscript.
And Kamishiro Hakufeng was also a little confused after finding that Igarashi Chinatsu cried.
Although he knew that he had the skill of [Emotional Rendering], which could make readers feel the emotions of the characters in the story.
Baifeng still thought it was normal for ordinary readers to cry.
After all, he also emphasized this aspect of emotion, just to make readers feel the tragedy in it.
But he did not expect that the editor who had read many novels would also cry directly.
Because most editors of novels review texts with a more detached vision.
It's like a teacher reading a student's novel. No matter how well written it is, he will read it with a critical attitude.
And now it is obvious that Chinatsu Igarashi has already immersed herself in the role.
Kamiyo Hakufu thought that this person looked relatively young, and thought that maybe he was a new editor who had just joined the company, so this was the case.
After a while.
Chinatsu Igarashi finished reading the novel written by Hakufu Kamiyo.
However, tears rolled down like beads with a broken string.
Her heart was deeply touched, and she felt an indescribable pain.
She seemed to be able to transcend the barriers of words and truly experience the deep and passionate feelings of the heroine in the novel for the hero, and understand why she did those things without hesitation.
The development of the story was originally going to be beautiful, and everything seemed to be moving towards a bright future.
In Chinatsu Igarashi's imagination, even if the heroine eventually died of illness, such an ending might be easier to accept.
However, what she found hard to accept was that the heroine unexpectedly died at the hands of a random murderer when she knew the hero's feelings and was full of expectations.
Igarashi Chinatsu could deeply feel the despair and helplessness that filled the heroine's heart when she was stabbed by the murderer.
She certainly never expected that her life would end so abruptly.
Tears flowed from Igarashi Chinatsu's eyes like a spring. She choked and turned her eyes to Bai Feng, asking with endless sadness and confusion: "Wuwuwu~ Why did you let her die? You could have given her a happy ending, wouldn't that be better?"
As she said that, she took out the pack of tissues that Kamishiro Bai Feng had handed to her before, and kept wiping her tears.
Kamishiro Bai Feng was a little amused after seeing this, but did not explain, just asked:
"Ms. Igarashi, what do you think of my novel?"
"Can it be approved?"
After hearing this, Igarashi obviously had not recovered from the sadness.
But she couldn't help but marvel at how Kamishiro Hakufeng could write such a good story even though he was just a high school student.
No, it should be said that this story is very ordinary.
But his top-notch writing style directly elevated it to another level!
This kind of writing skills has surpassed most of the current authors.
It is even comparable to the current top authors.
But because her vision is not really good.
Otherwise, her performance would not have not met the standard until now.
But in any case, she can really see the hope of becoming a top writer from this boy!
Although Igarashi Chinatsu personally thinks so, she is not sure whether others think so.
Counting the manuscripts that have been reviewed since she joined the company, Igarashi Chinatsu thinks that the manuscript written by Kamishiro Hakufeng is already the best one, no doubt about it!
If this book can't make her performance meet the standard, then she doesn't know what kind of book can!
So Igarashi Chinatsu decided to let this novel pass without hesitation!
But Igarashi Chinatsu was still immersed in the sad ending, but she couldn't help but praise Bai Feng for his good writing. She could only give a thumbs up and nodded while crying:
"Kamiyo-kun, wuwuwu~ You write very well!"
"wuwuwu~ Of course, of course!"
After hearing this, Kamishiro Bai Feng felt a little relieved.
At the same time, I am also a little curious. Since the novels I write can make editors feel the same way, what if it is for the general public?
after.
Chinatsu Igarashi gave Bai Feng a brief introduction to the entire process from submission to publication.
Topic selection and review: Authors need to submit a book proposal or complete manuscript to the publisher, and the publisher's editorial team will review the content to ensure that it meets the publisher's publishing direction and market needs.
Signing a contract: Once the topic selection is approved, the publisher will sign a publishing contract with the author to clarify the rights and obligations of both parties.
Editing and proofreading: The publishing house's editorial team will edit and proofread the manuscript in detail to ensure the quality and accuracy of the content.
Design and typesetting: The cover and layout of the book will be designed and typeset by a professional designer.
Printing and Binding: Once typesetting is complete, the books are sent to the printing house for printing and binding.
After hearing this, Kamishiro Bai Feng generally had no problems.
Because he had already learned about it from other places before.
After Chinatsu Igarashi explained, she was worried that such a good work would go to other publishing houses, so she quickly asked:
"Then I can confirm that you agree to submit this work to our company?"
Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:
"Yes."
Igarashi Chinatsu was extremely happy and said immediately:
"Great, then I need to submit this work to the editorial department for cross-review."
"As long as they confirm that there is no problem, they should be able to reply to you within two days."
"When the time comes, please come to me again to sign the contract."
The purpose of Jindai Bai Feng's visit was for this, but he was curious about other questions:
"I have no problem with that."
"But I would like to ask, after signing the contract, when can I see my book in the bookstore at the earliest?"
Chinatsu Igarashi blinked:
"It will take about a month at the earliest."
"Including review, proofreading, publishing, and negotiating with the printing manufacturer, printing schedule, binding, delivery, and placing it in bookstores for initial sales, etc., it is actually quite a lot of back and forth processes."
"So at the fastest, it will take a month."
Kamishiro Bai Feng sighed helplessly.
I thought that I might not be able to earn any income from the novel in a short period of time.
It will take more than a month.
At this time, I am afraid that I can unlock the next profession just by relying on the income from the coffee shop.
Kamidai Bai Feng nodded helplessly and said:
"Well, that's up to you."
"I'm leaving first."
Igarashi Chinatsu said happily:
"Well, then let me put this manuscript here first."
"When the second review is passed, I will notify you again."
As she said this, she was afraid that Kamishiro Bai Feng would think that the secondary review process was a bit redundant, so she quickly mentioned it again.
"I can't guarantee that other books will pass the second review, but I can be sure that your book will pass the review and be allowed to participate in this issue's essay collection activity."
Kamishiro Shirifeng had just seen the expression on Igarashi Chinatsu's face that she was crying. He already knew that there was nothing wrong with his novel as a product, so naturally he would not worry about failing to complete the manuscript.
"Okay, I'll leave it to Miss Igarashi."
With that said, Kamidai Bai Feng stood up and prepared to leave.
Chinatsu Igarashi looked at the time and was surprised to find that it was already almost nine o'clock.
ah?
Is this the point?
She hasn't even had dinner yet.
etc.
Since she hasn't eaten yet, wouldn't it be the same for Kamishiro-kun?
Chinatsu Igarashi quickly stopped Kamishiro Shirokaed, apologized and invited:
"Sorry, I was so absorbed in reading the manuscript that I saw it now. You haven't eaten yet, right?"
"How about we come together?"
Jindai Bai Feng looked at the time and found that it was already past nine o'clock. He shook his head and said:
"No, it's already very late."
"I'll go back home and solve it myself."
After Chinatsu Igarashi was rejected, she felt a little regretful and helpless:
"That's right. You high school students have to go home after nine o'clock."
"Then I won't stop you. Go back and pay attention to safety."
"I will contact you by phone if there is any news."
"Okay." After Kamishiro Bai Feng replied, he left the publishing house and prepared to go home.
And before he left.
The published writer Shindo Shizuji had just finished discussing the matter with his editor and was being invited out for dinner.
And when he noticed the leaving figure of Kamidai Bai Feng, he felt a little confused.
Why is this high school student still here?
Could it be that his manuscript was also read by the editor and passed?
No!
I guess it's just the type where you ask the editor to give comments after reading it, right?
And at this point, if the editor doesn’t invite you out for dinner after reading the article, then the manuscript will most likely be rejected.
Shindo Shizuji smiled contemptuously, thinking that young people should practice more if they are good at it.
——
It was already almost ten o'clock after Kamidai Bai Feng returned.
He was very hungry.
So I made some food for a late night snack.
Of course, Erina and her aunt are there too.
While having a late night snack.
Kamishiro Erina was also curious and asked:
"Bai Feng, aren't you going to submit a manuscript?"
"How is it now?"
Kamishiro Shiro Feng explained a little bit while eating dinner.
Sato Ayaka, who was eating supper, was also very surprised when she heard Bai Feng say this.
"Huh?!"
"So Bai Feng, your manuscript was approved?!"
"That's amazing!"
"Is there really going to be a writer in our family?"
Sato Ayaka was really happy!
She didn't expect that Bai Feng, whose grades were not very ideal, was actually talented in writing novels?
Was it approved on the first submission?
You know, writers have a very high status in Japan.
Even higher than some third- and fourth-tier stars!
It can be said that with this status, it can be said that there are many people who admire you wherever you go.
However, this premise still requires a well-known work.
Kamishiro Erina was in disbelief, and her voice even rose a lot:
"Ah?"
"You really got accepted?!"
"Didn't you just write it randomly?"
"This can get accepted?"
"If you can get accepted, doesn't that mean mine can get accepted?"
Kamishiro Hakufu laughed:
"Hahaha, it's okay to write randomly."
"Then when you finish your book, just submit it later."
"If it's accepted, I'll buy you three limited edition Chikawa dolls."
Kamishiro Erina stood up excitedly:
"Really?!"
Kamishiro Hakufu nodded:
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
Kamishiro Erina laughed:
"If your random writing can get accepted, then I It will definitely be accepted!"
"Just wait for your wallet to bleed!"
Sato Ayaka asked in confusion:
"Didn't Bai Feng's manuscript pass?"
"Why did Erina say he wrote it randomly?"
Kamiyo Erina complained:
"Aunt, you don't know, Bai Feng really slammed the keyboard when he wrote the novel!"
"10,000 words per hour!"
"Even if all of us in the literature club were asked to enter the manuscript into the computer, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do it this fast."
"Even some professional typists can't do it this fast!"
"And the activities of the literature club have only been going on for a few days, and he has finished writing the novel."
"You're saying he wrote it randomly?"
Sato Ayaka's eyes widened.
No wonder Erina said Bai Feng wrote it randomly
10,000 words per hour?
Don't writers write slowly and carefully?
Bai Feng writes so fast, is there really anything wrong with the story he wrote?
Sato Ayaka was still a little worried about this.
But since it has been accepted, there is no need to say anything discouraging.
She smiled and said:
"I remember that the essay contest of Futaba Publishing House was quite difficult."
"Since Bai Feng passed, it means that the novel is really good to pass!"
Kamiyo Erina blinked and nodded:
"That's true"
But she remembered that after signing the contract and publishing the book, if the sales are not good, it will be taken back.
Kamiyo Erina didn't want Bai Feng to be unhappy.
I thought that I would quietly buy a few books written by Bai Feng to collect or give to others.
In case no one really buys them, it would be embarrassing!
But to be honest, she didn't expect Bai Feng to pass even if he wrote like this.
Since he passed, doesn't it mean that she will definitely pass too?
Huh!
