Chapter 281 Chitanda Mirai: Kamishiro-kun is so strong!
Kamishiro Erina is not Kamishiro Shirokaed's biological sister?
This sudden news made all the girls except Junko feel numb.
After all, the relationship between Kamishiro Erina and Kamishiro Shirokaed is the closest.
She was so intimate that Kamishiro Bai Feng would reach out and pinch her cheeks, and even play with her on her back.
I also let her act coquettishly, hug my shoulders and so on.
This level would be completely understandable if it were a brother.
But now you tell them that you and Kamishiro-kun are not brothers and sisters?
If they weren't biological siblings, this relationship would be too much, right?
Maeshima Rika covered her head and said tremblingly:
"Erina-chan. Are you really not Kamishiro-kun's sister?!"
Chitanda Mirai and others all swallowed their saliva and looked at Erina nervously, as if expecting her to say it was a joke.
If Kamishiro Erina is not Kamishiro-kun's biological sister, doesn't that mean she is the biggest threat?
You must know that Erina-chan herself lives with Jindai-kun.
Together in the morning, we will be together in the evening!
Moreover, Erina-chan's beauty is not weaker than any of them.
At the same time, she was so pampered by Jindai-kun.
Who knows if Kamishiro-kun will dote on her and something will happen to her?
It's really hard to say when we are in love for a long time and are intimate every day!
Kamishiro Erina shook her head with certainty and said:
"No."
"We are brothers and sisters in name only, not actually brothers and sisters."
After Mizuno Maki heard this, his cold expression revealed a trance for a while.
What?
Is Erina-chan really not Kamishiro-kun's biological sister?
turn out to be
It turns out that Granny Denshi was right.
The two of them really have no family relationship.
But Dengshi's mother-in-law said that the two of them looked like lovers?
this.
This certainly won't happen.
After all, Kamishiro-kun has never said that he is dating Erina-chan.
But if not, then the two of them are too intimate.
wrong!
Kamishiro-kun must just think of Erina-chan as his younger sister.
That must be the case!
Chitanda Mirai was also a little confused.
It’s over!
She had actually checked out the situation at Kamishiro-kun's house before.
But they only focused on looking at Kamishiro-kun's personal information.
I didn’t read the information about Erina-chan, Ayaka Sato, and others carefully.
After all, they are the only two siblings listed in the household registration.
And they all have the surname Kamishiro-kun.
So under normal circumstances, Chitanda Mirai acquiesces that the two are brothers and sisters.
I didn't pay much attention to the fact that they were not biological siblings.
Watanabe Hina was also a little annoyed.
She had been avoiding Rika Maeshima for so long just to find a chance to confess to Kamishiro-kun.
And now you tell her that her biggest enemy is not Rika, but Erina-chan?
Shiina Shoko almost had a black eye.
It's over.
Why is my relationship so difficult?
Forget it if you and your best friend fall in love with the same boy.
Now I actually found out that the boy’s sister is not his biological sister? !
You must know that Kamishiro-kun really loves Erina-chan.
The level of pampering was something she would envy even when she saw him.
When Erina-chan said she didn't want to walk, Kamishiro-kun would just say, "There's really nothing I can do about you," and then he would just carry her on his back.
And he never dislikes the food Erina-chan eats. When she can't eat it, he throws it to Kamishiro-kun.
Kamishiro-kun will also help you finish the meal.
And wait, wait, wait
With such a close relationship, in the eyes of outsiders, they are completely brothers and sisters!
But now they are not brother and sister?
Is it possible that the two of them have actually been dating for a long time?
That's why
Woohoo~
Maeshima Rika was even more numb, and couldn't help asking tremblingly again:
"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier, Erina-chan?"
Chitanda Mirai and others also looked at Erina with some resentment.
Kamishiro Erina scratched her head and said in astonishment:
"Didn't I say that?"
Her words immediately made everyone present speechless.
The corners of Chitanda Mirai's mouth twitched:
"Erina-chan. If I remember correctly, I probably didn't say anything."
Watanabe Hina nodded and said:
"Yes, I certainly didn't say that."
Mizuno Maki's expression was a little complicated:
"Kamidai-kun didn't say anything either."
Shiina Shoko was stunned:
“It’s true”
Maeshima Rika said angrily:
"Kamidai-kun"
at this time.
Chitanda tried hard to think back in the future, and felt that Kamishiro Hakuedu might just regard Kamishiro Erina as her younger sister.
Otherwise, how could the two of them not behave like lovers?
And Erina-chan has actually never gone on a date with Kamishiro-kun alone.
After all, Jindai-kun is basically in the coffee shop every day now.
If Erina-chan is really dating Kamishiro-kun, from a girl's point of view, she will definitely think about being with her boyfriend every day, or going out on dates and fun, etc.
But Erina-chan didn’t ask Kamishiro-kun like that.
All of the above combined are completely inconsistent with the situation that he has a girlfriend.
Therefore, Chitanda can conclude from the future that Kamishiro-kun only regards Erina-chan as his biological sister.
According to the actual situation.
Indeed, there are many situations similar to Kamishiro-kun and Erina-chan.
The relationship between the two is as good as that of brothers and sisters.
If they just treat each other as brothers and sisters, that's not impossible.
Thinking of this, Chitanda Mirai slowly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
But although the relationship between the two has not deteriorated now, it does not mean that it will be like this in the future.
Chitanda Mirai felt that it was necessary for him to pay attention to Erina-chan's situation.
When Mizuno Maki heard this topic of Erina-chan, she suddenly felt that she still knew too little about Kamishiro Shirokaed.
She bit her red lips and asked:
"Erina-chan, can I ask when you came to Kamishiro-kun's house?"
When other people heard this topic, they all looked at Erina curiously.
They also wanted to know about Erina.
Even Chinatsu Igarashi, who was reading the manuscript, couldn't help but listen.
Kamishiro Erina did not hide this matter and explained directly:
"Maybe in the first year of junior high school."
"At that time, my mother and Onii-chan's father remarried."
“Then my mother and I moved here to Shibuya, Tokyo, and lived in this house now.”
Shiina Shoko asked hesitantly:
"Then when we went up to your house, why didn't we seem to see your parents much?"
Kamishiro Erina explained somewhat sadly:
"When we were in the third grade of junior high school, our parents were both gone because of a car accident."
"so."
Shiina Shoko also realized that he had asked the wrong topic and quickly apologized:
"Sorry, Erina-chan."
"I shouldn't have brought this up."
Kamishiro Erina shook her hand and said:
"It's okay. It's all over. There's nothing we can't mention."
Mizuno Maki didn't expect that Kamishiro-kun's parents were no longer around.
But my parents are no longer here because they ran away.
And Kamishiro-kun’s parents are.
Maeshima Rika pursed her lips in distress and asked:
"Then the aunt you mentioned before is your current guardian?"
Kamishiro Erina nodded and said:
"Yes."
"But sometimes she is very busy with her voice acting job, so she is basically not at home."
"Last time you came over, she went to work."
Hina Watanabe knows that the salary of voice actors is very low.
Combined with the situation that Kamishiro-kun's parents are not here.
This obviously shows that Kamishiro-kun's family situation is not favorable.
In this case, it seems that there is a reason why Kamishiro-kun has worked so hard during this period and even agreed to Chairman Hojo's conditions?
After all, as long as I have President Hojo's favor, I can make my future journey much, much easier.
No wonder Kamishiro-kun only focused on studying and working part-time during that time.
No wonder Kamishiro-kun looks a little more mature than other boys of the same age.
No wonder Kamishiro-kun would rather borrow money than open a store to make money.
Presumably, he works so hard to reduce the pressure on his family.
He's obviously still a freshman in high school
Watanabe Hina couldn't help but feel a little touched when she thought of this.
Watanabe Hina was not the only one to guess why Kamishiro-kun was working so hard.
Even others guessed it too.
Shiina Shoko's eyes were filled with tears under her long bangs.
She felt that Jindai-kun was really too strong.
When other children are protected by their parents.
But he already had to study hard and work hard to make money.
If it were herself, she would definitely not be able to do this.
Maeshima Rika also felt a little uncomfortable.
She didn't expect that the boy she had always liked was actually so strong behind the scenes.
No wonder Kamishiro-kun doesn't agree to date him.
Talking about focusing on studies and so on.
It seems that this is the reason.
If this happened to Rika herself, she would definitely not be in the mood for a relationship.
Maki Mizuno also has mixed feelings and resonance in her heart.
It turns out that Kamishiro-kun is actually having a very bad life just like him.
Igarashi Chinatsu couldn't help but feel some compassion in her heart.
No wonder Kamishiro-kun would rather borrow money to open a store when he was a freshman in high school, and even found time to write a book.
It seems that the family situation is really not good.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t work so hard.
Chitanda Mirai actually knew some of the situation in Kamishiro-kun's family.
But I didn't think about it at that time.
Now after hearing what Erina-chan said.
Only then did she realize that even Jindai-kun, who occasionally told jokes to amuse herself, was actually very stressful.
Because his aunt's salary is not high, and she still lives here in Tokyo.
In fact, the cost is still very high.
Without their parents' insurance money, the two of them probably wouldn't be able to attend the private Xiujin Academy.
After all, the cost of studying here is very high.
Unless they can become top academics like Mizuno Maki and Watanabe-senpai, basically all students can only get in by throwing money at them.
No wonder Kamishiro-kun loves Erina so much.
After all, even if they are nominal relatives, they are the only relatives he has left now.
at this time.
The atmosphere in the coffee shop suddenly became a little sad.
After Kamishiro Erina noticed that everyone seemed a little uncomfortable, she was also a little confused.
You are not from our family, why are you all so sad?
Hey, say something!
At this time.
Urahara Junko, who had been silent all the time, walked to the bar.
Everyone present looked at her in confusion.
Junko took out some desserts that Kamishiro Hakufu had stored from the refrigerator and put them on the table, saying to everyone:
"Eat!"
"Eat well. You will be happy!"
Urahara Junko's strange behavior made everyone present stunned for a moment, and then they all smiled helplessly.
The atmosphere at the scene also became much more relaxed because of this smile, and everyone started to talk about other topics.
But everyone tacitly stopped asking about Kamishiro Erina's family affairs.
After a while.
Kamishiro Hakufu came back with the manuscripts of Mizuno Maki and others.
As soon as he came back, he noticed that the eyes of the people present were looking at him strangely.
Maejima Rika said very sincerely:
"Kamiyo-kun, I gradually understand everything!"
Kamiyo Hakufeng was confused and said:
"What do you understand?"
Maejima Rika just looked at him with relief and shook her head.
"I will prove it with my actions!"
Kamiyo Hakufeng looked confused.
I had no idea what she was talking about.
Chitanda Mirai and others squinted at Maejima Rika.
Thinking that she was still as direct as before.
But what did Rika-chan mean by actions?
Kamiyo Hakufeng didn't know what was going on.
But he was too lazy to ask.
I guess they didn't know what to talk about after he left.
After that.
Kamiyo Hakufeng handed the manuscript in his hand to Mizuno Maki, Kamishiro Erina and Maejima Rika, and told them:
"I didn't staple it with a stapler, remember not to mess up the order."
After hearing this, the three nodded, and then waited for Igarashi Chinatsu to finish reading the manuscript before preparing it for her.
After taking a quick look at Chitanda Mirai's manuscript, Chinatsu Igarashi wanted to say something.
But she felt that there were too many people here and it was not easy to say it directly.
So she asked Kamishiro Hakufu:
"Kamishiro-kun, can you give me a private place?"
"I want to talk to them alone about the manuscript."
Kamishiro Hakufu knew what was going on, and he pointed upstairs and said:
"Let's go to the third floor."
"There's no one there now."
Chinatsu Igarashi thanked:
"Thank you."
"Then Chitanda-san, please come up with me."
This was not the first time that Chitanda Mirai had submitted a manuscript, and she understood that she was planning to talk about the manuscript alone, so she nodded and replied:
"Okay."
"Then Junko, take me up first."
Then, the three of them went up and sat on the blanket.
Chinatsu Igarashi began to describe the situation of Chitanda Mirai's manuscript.
But before she spoke, she glanced at Junko Urahara.
Chitanda Mirai smiled and said:
"It's okay, let Junko stay here."
"She won't affect us."
Igarashi Chinatsu felt that the relationship between the two was unusual, but considering Chitanda Mirai's physical condition that required someone to take care of her, she thought it was okay.
"Well, let's talk about the problems with your novel now."
"In general, it's still very smooth and the main line is very clear."
"And the writing is also very good."
"I personally think there is no problem."
"If you want, this novel can be taken to the editorial department for a second review."
Chitanda Mirai had a touch of joy on her face:
"That's great!"
"Then please Miss Igarashi Chinatsu."
Igarashi Chinatsu was also very happy in her heart.
Because this novel really suits her own taste.
Of course, it only suits her own taste.
In fact, the people in the editorial department don't know what to say.
After all, the core of Chitanda Mirai's novel is still quite tragic.
In terms of the degree of tragedy, it is even worse than the book "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" written by Kamishiro-kun.
But overall, Kamishiro-kun's book is better.
The feeling of hope and helplessness should be more popular among young people nowadays.
And the book written by Chitanda Mirai should be more suitable for mature people.
In terms of audience, it is probably not as good as Kamishiro-kun's book.
But it is really good, and it can really participate in the newcomer award in the literary world.
Chinatsu Igarashi introduced:
"Since you have confirmed the submission, let me explain the current situation of the publishing house to you."
"Now, as long as your submission is approved by the editorial department, it can go through the polishing and printing process, and then it will be sold in bookstores."
"As for the number of sales, it is determined by the editorial department's initial market adjustments."
"Some books will have more, some will have less."
"But if the sales are good, they will be promoted to reprint."
"If the sales are not good, I think you also understand the result, so I won't elaborate on it here."
"But compared to these, there is another more important point, that is, as long as the books are promoted, they will be automatically included in this year's literary world newcomer award!"
"Literary Newcomer Award: A public newcomer award established by the literary magazine "Bungakukai" published by Bungeishunju Publishing House. This award collects works twice a year, and the winning works are announced in June and December respectively. The winner will receive a reward of 2 million yen and souvenirs. This award has a long history since its establishment, so it has a certain influence in the Japanese literary world."
"It is an award that every author who wins the first place in the year will receive."
"After winning this award, you will be a well-known author in the literary world, and you will be invited to attend some activities every year by the Writers Association."
Chitanda Mirai knew about this award and said:
"I know about this."
"As far as I know, there are 5,000 to 6,000 novels competing for each newcomer award."
"However, only new authors with good sales or fame can participate in the award ceremony. ”
Chinatsu Igarashi said in surprise:
“It seems that you have submitted your manuscripts before, Chitanda-san, and you have heard about it from other editors, right?”
Chitanda Mirai said helplessly:
“Yes.”
“But at that time, I was not able to enter the Newcomer Award ceremony.”
“It is really difficult to stand out among so many books.”
Chinatsu Igarashi smiled:
“Yes.”
“The difficulty of the Newcomer Award is different every year.”
“Maybe there are more new great writers in your year.”
“But there are so many works participating in the Newcomer Award every year, which can also indirectly show the value of this award.”
“You should know that only authors who have passed the manuscript and sold books can participate.”
“Except for these authors who have successfully signed contracts, in fact, 80% to 90% of new authors can't even get through this step.”
“So you and Kamishiro-kun can write such works at this age, which is already amazing.”
