Chapter 282 Don’t let mistakes become missed opportunities!
attic.
Except for Kamishiro Shiro Feng, all the girls from the Literature Department were gathered above.
Everyone is looking at Igarashi Chinatsu.
At this time, except for Kamishiro Shiro Kaede's manuscript, she had already read the manuscripts of other people in the Literature Club.
But sadly.
Except for Chitanda Mirai, everyone else failed.
Although Chitanda Mirai was the only one to pass.
But in fact, the writing styles of Watanabe Hina, Mizuno Maki, and Shiina Shoko are actually good.
It’s just that the content isn’t quite right.
Watanabe Hina's is a pure daily life of love. The problem is that there are no waves.
Maki Mizuno wrote a history of the struggles of girls in Tokyo, but there were too many irrelevant things.
Shoko Shiina writes a relatively two-dimensional novel. In fact, her novel is really good. It can be seen that she really read a lot of two-dimensional related novels before writing it. It is a pity that the plot is very cliched and uninnovative, otherwise She actually really wanted to submit a manuscript for Shiina Shoko.
The three of Kamishiro Erina, Maeshima Rika, and Urahara Junko are a bit hard to describe. Each has its own characteristics. It can only be said that the three of them have a lot of room for improvement.
So here we go.
Only Chitanda Mirai has passed the draft.
After Igarashi Chinatsu finished reviewing the manuscript, she took away Chitanda Mirai's manuscript and said to the others:
"There is a lot of room for improvement for everyone."
“I hope to receive your submissions in the future.”
With that said, she left here after chatting with the people present.
And this tragic result made both Kamishiro Erina and Maeshima Rika hug Urahara Junko with annoyance and pain.
Kamishiro Erina: "o(╥﹏╥)oWhy can Onii-chan pass the one who writes nonsense? Why can't I pass the one who writes so seriously?"
Shiina Shoko: "(﹏) Shoko, I've watched so many anime, and I've been thinking about the plot for a long time. Why can't I get through it?"
Maeshima Rika: “(┳Д┳) The romance novel I wrote is so good, why can’t it be better?”
Urahara Junko: "(▼へ▼メ) Food novels are about writing about food. What kind of plot is it?"
Shiina Shoko: "(＠_＠;)?"
Chitanda Mirai: "-_-||"
Maeshima Rika: "┭┮﹏┭┮Looking at the overall situation, only Mirai-chan and Kamishiro-kun have passed. No wonder so many people say it is difficult to submit manuscripts to publishing houses. Now I know how difficult it is."
Mizuno Maki: "(_) It is really difficult to submit an article."
Watanabe Hina: "(┬＿┬) It's really difficult. It seems that Kamishiro-kun is quite capable if he can pass it."
Chitanda Mirai: "(._.) Indeed, I am also very curious about what he wrote."
Kamishiro Erina: "o(╥﹏╥)o If I had known, I would have just asked Ms. Igarashi to let us read Onii-chan's unfinished manuscript."
Maeshima Rika: "(*￣︶￣) I remember Kamishiro-kun said it was almost finished, so we can let him show it to us when the time comes."
Chitanda Mirai: "(#^.^#)I think so too."

First floor.
Because it's still just past three o'clock.
So the coffee shop isn't open yet.
Tap tap tap~
Kamishiro Hakuho, who was coding on the first floor, turned to look in the direction of the stairs and found that Chinatsu Igarashi was coming down.
He stopped typing on the keyboard and asked softly:
"How are they doing?"
Chinatsu Igarashi sat in front of Kamishiro Shiro Feng and scratched her face helplessly:
"Everyone except your minister was wiped out."
Kamdai Bai Feng was still a little surprised by this result.
Because Maki Mizuno, Hina Watanabe, and Shoko Shiina all have very good academic performance.
None of them passed, which was indeed a bit surprising.
But since Chinatsu Igarashi, a professional, said so.
Then there is indeed a problem.
Chinatsu Igarashi apologized:
"Sorry, I took down your sister too."
Jindai Bai Feng smiled and waved his hand:
"It's okay. It's okay to let her know the cruelty of society in advance."
"And I also read a little bit of the novel she wrote when I printed it."
"It's okay to keep it as a diary, but it's not practical to publish it."
"So your judgment is correct."
Igarashi Chinatsu did not expect Bai Feng to be so open-minded, so she smiled and said:
"It would be best if you understand, Kamidai-kun."
"By the way, the coffee and food you just made are delicious."
"I didn't expect Kamishiro-kun to be so talented in cooking besides writing novels."
Kamidai Bai Feng smiled slightly:
"You can come often if you like."
Chinatsu Igarashi laughed and joked:
"So Kamishiro-kun, you want to invite me?"
Kamdai Bai Feng smiled and said:
"That depends on whether Ms. Igarashi helps me run the book."
Igarashi Chinatsu smiled:
"I didn't expect Kamishiro-kun to say such things."
"But, you can rest assured about this."
"Your book is the one I am most optimistic about this year, so I will definitely run it well."
Jindai Bai Feng nodded slightly and said:
"Then please leave it to Miss Igarashi."
While the two were chatting.
When Chinatsu Igarashi saw Kamishiro Haku maple chatting with her and typing on the keyboard quickly.
She couldn't help but feel a little confused and asked:
"Kamidai-kun, are you coding now?"
Jindai Bai Feng nodded and said:
"Yes."
Igarashi Chinatsu was a little stunned and asked:
"You don't have to think about it, can you code so quickly?"
"I remember don't most authors write very slowly?"
Kamidai Bai Feng explained:
“I’ve already figured out the plot, so I’ll naturally write it quickly.”
Igarashi Chinatsu said doubtfully:
"I would like to ask, how long did it take you to write "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas"?"
Jindai Bai Feng thought for a while:
"About ten days."
Igarashi Chinatsu's eyes widened with a look of astonishment:
"ah?"
"Ten days?"
"You could finish writing something of that quality in ten days?"
"And I remember that there were more than twenty W words in that book, didn't it?"
"It's too late for you to write ten thousand words a day, right?"
"I'm curious, how fast are you coding like this?"
Kamidai Bai Feng said:
"About ten thousand."
Igarashi Chinatsu was dumbfounded and said:
"Ah, so fast?!"
"I don't believe it. Let me see how you code."
As she said that, she poked her head over to see if the situation of Jindai Bai Feng's code was true.
But when Chinatsu Igarashi saw Kamishiro Hakuho writing a very exquisite plot on the keyboard, and even the speed displayed on it was really 10,000 words an hour, she felt a little numb.
After all, people cannot be compared with each other.
Her authors, who write a book of 200,000 words a year, have already worked hard.
And Jindai-kun actually gets one book every ten days?
This is amazing!
But the book "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" is very good.
But now I don’t know what the situation is like with the book written by Kamidai-kun.
Maybe it's just a coincidence?
Because sometimes when some people write a certain book, it really goes smoothly, and it is possible to finish it in one go.
But once it’s time to start a new book, I can’t write to the same level as before.
As a result, the quality of the book is very different from before.
This is what is now called a bad book.
There are many such situations.
After all, not every author can guarantee that every book is of high quality.
Igarashi Chinatsu also hopes that Jindai-kun can write better.
But he is still young now, so such a request is indeed too much.
No matter what.
At least he has potential.
The love story is really well written.
So if Chinatsu Igarashi thinks that Kamishiro Shirokaed's suspense mystery book is not good, let him write about love themes.
after.
Chinatsu Igarashi said goodbye to Kamidai Shirokaed and left the coffee shop.
She took the train back to Futaba Publishing House.
After coming in, he returned to his work station.
Igarashi Chinatsu first submitted Chitanda Mirai's manuscript to the team leader.
Then I took care of the accumulated business a little bit.
After a busy period of time.
Igarashi Chinatsu looked at the time and found that it was already past five o'clock.
I'll be getting ready to get off work at six o'clock.
So she planned to take advantage of this unimportant time to read a little bit of Kamidai Haku Feng's manuscript.
The briefcase was slowly opened, and the manuscript of Kamidai Shiro Kaede was held in Igarashi Chinatsu's hand.
The cover of "White Night Journey" lay there quietly, and the large characters seemed to have a faint fragrance of ink under the soft light.
She took a deep breath, touched the cover with her fingertips, and slowly turned to the second page.
At this moment, the words seemed to have magic power, quietly penetrating into her heart.
It was like a violent storm, making it difficult for her to take her eyes away.
The few lines describing the heroine at the beginning already made her mind echo with that young and helpless girl.
As the reading progresses, Chinatsu Igarashi seems to have traveled through a tunnel of time and space, and is immersed in the intricate, love-hate story of "White Night Journey".
She saw Kirihara Ryoji and Nishimoto Yukiho, two souls clinging to each other in the darkness, but each carrying heavy secrets and pain.
Their story is a tragic song about love, sin and redemption, with every word filled with deep helplessness and grief.
Igarashi Chinatsu's heart trembled with the ups and downs of the first plot. She seemed to be able to feel how complicated the love between Kirihara and Yukiho was, as well as their helplessness and despair as they struggled in the torrent of fate.
She couldn't help but feel worried about the fate of these two characters. Their love was like the starlight in the white night, bright but out of reach, and could only be drowned in the endless darkness.
While reading "White Night Walk", the words that danced before her eyes made her feel as if she was breathing the same fate as the two protagonists, experiencing their joys, sorrows, and joys, and feeling the emotional entanglement that transcended life and death.
The painful and heart-wrenching description brought a sense of reality that even made Chinatsu Igarashi feel that this novel was a compilation of a true story.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to write the characters in it so vividly and with a sense of reality?
Then Chinatsu Igarashi saw the heroine in the article grow up and change schools.
Unexpectedly, the heroine's past sad experiences were revealed again, and she was bullied by her classmates. But just when the heroine was having such a painful life, the hero, who had never been able to see each other again, actually ran over. Plan to save the heroine.
When she saw this, Igarashi Chinatsu's eyes were filled with moisture.
But what followed was a look of bewilderment.
Wow~
Because Igarashi Chinatsu found that she had seen the last page.
She suddenly felt empty and at a loss.
Immediately.
A strong sense of anxiety arose.
She wanted to know the sequel very much at this moment!
She wanted to know whether the two murderers, the hero and heroine, would be caught by the police in the end.
She wanted to know whether the two of them could escape the police's pursuit and live their lives in peace.
This strong sense of expectation made Igarashi Chinatsu couldn't help but immediately open her briefcase and try to find out if there were any manuscripts left in it that she had forgotten to take.
However, after searching for a while, she couldn't find a single page.
She felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but call Kamishiro-kun immediately to ask about the whereabouts of the remaining half of the manuscript.
The call was answered quickly.
[Igarashi Chinatsu: Hello, is this Kamishiro-kun? ]
[Kamishiro Hakufeng: It's me, what's wrong? ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: No, I just want to tell you that your novel "White Night Walk" is really, really good! ]
[Kamishiro Hakufu: Oh, thank you. Is there anything else? If not, I have to keep busy. There are still many people in the store now. ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: Wait, wait! Didn't you say before that this novel was almost finished? How is it going now? ]
[Kamishiro Hakufu: It's not finished yet. ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: I know it's not finished, but I want to ask how much progress you have left? ]
[Kamishiro Hakufu: It's quite a lot, more than 100,000 or 200,000 words, right? ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: There are still so many? I remember that you type very quickly, so when will you finish it? Today or tomorrow? ]
[Kamishiro Hakufu: Today or tomorrow, that's a bit harsh. ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: Ahem, then I'll ask politely, when will you finish it? ]
[Kamishiro Hakufu: I don't know. ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: Didn't you say it would be today or tomorrow? How come you don't know now? ]
[Hakufu Kamishiro: The coffee shop is busy, and I have a midterm exam soon, so I guess I made a wrong estimate. ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: Then remember to tell me when you're done, and I'll have the editorial staff review it immediately. ]
[Hakufu Kamishiro: Miss Igarashi, why don't you let them take a look first? Anyway, there's half of it, so I think they can get a rough idea. ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: Yes, yes, this is also possible. But remember to tell me first when you're done! ]
[Hakufu Kamishiro: Okay, okay, I'll hang up first. ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: Wait, wait! ]
[Hakufu Kamishiro: What's wrong? ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: I just want to ask if you can send me what you're writing now? ]
[Hakufu Kamishiro: I haven't written much, and it's about the same progress as what you're reading now. ]
[Chinatsu Igarashi: Huh? ! Don't you start work at five? I left at three, so you should be able to write at least 10,000 words. How come you haven't written much? 】
[Kamiyo Hakufu: I have to open a shop]
[Igarashi Chinatsu: Oh, sorry. But can you write faster? If you finish earlier, you can rest earlier.]
[Kamiyo Hakufu: I'll try my best. Okay, I'm busy here, so I'll hang up first. 】
[Igarashi Chinatsu: Okay. Bye. 】
After Igarashi Chinatsu hung up the phone, she looked at the first half of "White Night Walk" and felt itchy in her heart. She felt very uncomfortable and wanted to see the second half of the plot.
But Kamishiro-kun didn't write it? !
Igarashi Chinatsu couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Isn't it 10,000 words per hour?
Write faster!
Just as she was complaining about Kamishiro Hakufu, she felt that her stomach was inexplicably hungry.
Gurgle gurgle~
Chinatsu Igarashi covered her hungry stomach and couldn't help complaining in her heart, how long had she been reading novels?
Why was she so hungry?
She looked at the time.
When she found that it was already past nine o'clock.
Chinatsu Igarashi was stunned.
"Ah? I read for more than four hours?"
"It's over, it's over."
"Could my colleagues have all gone off work?"
She immediately turned her head and looked around.
After finding that her colleagues were still working overtime, she felt relieved.
"Forget it, let's go off work and have dinner now."
"After dinner, let the editorial department look at Kamishiro Hakufeng's manuscript tomorrow."
"Take it home tonight and help Kamishiro-kun polish this novel"
--
At night.
Since the midterm exam is just a few days away.
So Kamishiro Erina is also studying in the coffee shop with Chitanda Mirai and others today.
But they left early, so she was the only one studying in the attic at this time.
Time quietly came to ten o'clock.
"Erina, let's go."
"Oh!"
Hearing Bai Feng's call on the stairs, Erina also walked down happily.
Then she went back with Kamishiro Bai Feng and Mizuno Maki.
On the way back.
Mizuno Maki looked at Kamishiro Bai Feng carrying Kamishiro Erina on his back, and the two of them were talking and laughing. Her cold expression was also somewhat indescribably sad.
Before everyone thought they were siblings, she naturally would not have any misunderstandings about their intimate behavior.
But now that they are still so intimate.
What should she do to not care?
It would be great if they were siblings, and I wouldn't be so scared and have wild thoughts.
But Kamishiro-kun is such an upright person, he shouldn't do anything to Erina, right?
After all, they have been together for so many days, if he wanted to do something, he would have done it to Erina a long time ago.
How could it stop at the current situation where they are just like siblings?
Just when Mizuno Maki was worried.
She found that she had unknowingly arrived at the door of the apartment.
"Mizuno-san, see you tomorrow."
"Maki-chan, we're leaving, bye."
"Uh-huh, bye."
Maki Mizuno, who had just come to her senses, waved goodbye to the two.
She looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and felt a little helpless.
But in the end, she could only choose not to think about it anymore.
Maki Mizuno turned around and walked to go home.
"The two siblings just now looked so good together, how could they be siblings?" Granny Tose, who was lying on a recliner by the door, complained in confusion.
Mizuno Maki's expression was a bit bitter:
"Grandma Tose, you guessed right, they are really not siblings, but foster siblings."
Grandma Tose was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly:
"That's troublesome."
"Maki-chan, you have to work harder."
"If you ask me, a man of Kamishiro-kun's age is very easy to be seduced by girls. If you confess first, it may be easier to win his heart."
Maki Mizuno was stunned for a moment, then immediately recalled that Kamishiro-kun had rejected many girls in school, even Rika Maejima.
She wanted to deny that Kamishiro-kun would not easily agree to a girl's confession, but she felt that there was no need to deny it, which made Grandma Tose sad.
So she nodded and said:
"Well, I will."
Grandma Tose, who was full of wrinkles, sighed and laughed:
"Very good, just have this determination"
"Remember not to let mistakes become misses like me, an old woman"
"Hey"
