Chapter 3: Writing a new novel?
Tomoe: "Yo, Mune-kun! You look a bit different now."
Masamune: "Oh? Do I look more handsome now?"
Tomoe: "You.. Who are you?! Where's the Mune-kun I know?!"
The girl who is shaking my shoulder is Tomoe Takasago, she is my childhood friend and classmate of mine in high school.
She is beautiful with long black hair, fair skin, innocent looking blue eyes and a slender body.
Masamune: "Just kidding! I was just kidding! Stop shaking my shoulder!"
Tomoe: "No way...Mune-kun can joke? Are you sick? You must have a fever."
*I sigh*
Tomoe checked my temperature with her hand on my face.
Hmm her face is too close right?
I could smell the fragrant soap from her body.
Masamune: "*Cough* Are you done Tomoe?"
Tomoe: "Hmm you don't have a fever. Wait, why are your eyes blue?"
Masamune: "My eyesight is a bit bad, so I'm wearing contact lenses now."
Tomoe: "But why are you wearing blue lenses?"
Masamune: "To look cool?"
Tomoe: "Hmm... You do look a bit cool with those blue eyes."
Tomoe nodded in agreement hearing my reasoning.
I'm lying, because there's no way I'm telling the truth, right?
Masamune: "So what did you come here for?"
Tomoe: "Ah! I came to your house to give you this."
Tomoe gave me a parcel.
Masamune: "What is this?"
Tomoe: "Oranges 🍊. At my house there are a lot of oranges that my cousin sent. So I gave you half because they were too many."
Masamune: "Oh, thanks then."
Tomoe: "You're welcome. By the way Mune-kun, about your novel in my shop..."
Novel? Ah! I remember now. Tomoe's family owns a bookstore.
And the novel that Masamune Izumi wrote earlier, is sold there.
Masamune: "Is my novel not selling well?"
Tomoe: "Yeah... This month only 4 copies sold in my shop."
Masamune: "I see."
Tomoe: "I see, eh?"
Masamune: "..."
Tomoe fell silent at my flat reaction.
Tomoe: "Why do I feel like you don't care about your novel?"
I remember the novel that Masamune Izumi wrote entitled 'Silver Wolf Reincarnation.'
Honestly, the novels he wrote were boring.
I wouldn't be surprised if the novel didn't sell well in the market.
But because now I became Masamune Izumi and became a novelist.
Why don't I make a novel from my previous life?
In this world there are not even masterpieces like Naruto, One Piece and Bleach.
So I can freely copy it, right?
Masamune: "Yeah, it's because I decided to write a new novel later."
Tomoe: "Ehh! You're going to write a new novel?! So you're going to drop the novel 'Silver Wolf Reincarnation'?"
Masamune: "Yeah, that's how it is."
Tomoe was dumbfounded, then said.
Tomoe: "Then cheer up Mune-kun! I'll be waiting for your new novel in my shop hehe~"
The two of us only chatted for a few minutes in front of the house, before Tomoe decided to return to her house.

I'm now in my room, thinking about my job as a novelist.
If I decide to make a new novel.
I wonder how my little sister Sagiri will react?
I mean, she is Eromanga-sensei, the one who drew the illustration for the novel 'Silver Wolf Reincarnation'.
Masamune Izumi didn't know beforehand, that Sagiri was the one who drew the illustrations for the novel.
Masamune: "Yeah, I just need to talk to Sagiri later. Then ask her to draw illustrations, for my new novel."
'Now.. Let's start copying the novel! Hahaha I can't wait to see the reaction of the otaku in this world.'
System: "You are shameless."
'Shut up Miss System. You just have to cheer, praise the masterpiece, which I will create later.'
System: "Shameless!!"
Pretending not to hear the system, I started typing a novel on my laptop.

(Tomoe pov)
I was working at my family's bookstore.
Seeing that some unsold books were dusty, I decided to clean them up.
I saw that the novel written by Mune-kun, entitled 'Silver Wolf Reincarnation', still had plenty left on the bookshelf.
Then I remembered the conversation I and Mune-kun had this morning.
He looks different than usual.
Previously he often looked tired and too serious. Now he looks full of energy and very relaxed.
He can even joke now!
Then there are the eyes!
He now wears contact lenses!
I admit he looks cool with those sky blue eyes.
*I sigh*
If only he were more sensitive...
*TING*
I heard the shop doorbell ring.
Tomoe: "Welcome! Happy shopping~"
Buyer: "Ano... Is there Elf Yamada-sensei's light novel here?"
Tomoe: "Oh yes! Please look over there."
Buyer: "Yey! New volume is here!"
I smiled wryly.
The light novels written by Elf Yamada-sensei are very popular these days. Is it because of the many ecchi illustrations in it?
I wonder what kind of new novel Mune-kun will make.
I hope he makes an interesting novel this time..
