"The young faery was was all alone in the forest, the night was approaching along with the horrors that lay waiting in the darkness. But then she saw a small ray of light reflecting over the lake nearby. ~ Ophelia and Johanna's first meeting, The Faery of Light"
The city was still vibrant and alive at midnight. It was the time of fall, when dry leaves danced with the cold breeze and gently invaded the forgotten corners of darkness and light alike. One such breeze stepped inside a room seeped in darkness, but there one source of light which was coming from a laptop. The person sitting in front of it has her brows knotted in concentration, when the breeze announced its presence, the scent of earth after being washed down by rain kissed her skin, it relaxed the girl a little.
She took in a deep breath and sighed. It was last week, when she found a rather strange light novel on her recommendation, The Faery of Light. It has zero votes and zero views, there was no cover as well, and it was written by 'saltymeow'. Something compelled the girl to read this novel, perhaps she wanted to know how unpopular a novel can be, or perhaps she wanted to find out how can someone write 1020 chapters when there is not even a single reader.
When she tried to remember at what point she started to like the novel, she could not remember but somewhere in those starting chapters she has lost her sense of time and space and was deeply indulged inside the novel.
Since then, she has read 'The Faery of Light' at every chance she got. Since it was summer vacation time, she was allowed to read light novels a little. Otherwise, her mother always pressured her to study,
The Faery of Light, was a story set in a fantasy world of magic. The protagonist, Ophelia, is a faery of light who was born in the legendary healer's valley. She lived a great life with friends and family until one day when the tyrannous emperor, Isaiah Ezra Waelyn, annihilated her small valley.
The remaining survivors were taken to the capital by the imperial guards, they were given no choice. Ophelia hated the emperor but she was weak so there was nothing she can do, the emperor then kills Ophelia's close friend, Princess Johanna, who was forcibly married to the emperor. This marks the beginning of Ophelia's magical and spiritual awakening.
The emperor was not the only villain of this novel, he had an empress who is said to be behind most of his vicious decisions. She realizes that Ophelia was no ordinary faery and so she can become a big threat.  After that t<span style="line-height: 1.66667;">he evil empress makes her life hell in the palace and eventually pushes her off a cliff during one hunt.</span>
Ophelia is rescued by a mysterious man and he helps her master her magic. The two fall in love and later they work together to dethrone the evil emperor and empress and restore peace across the nation. During her journey to the peak, she lost her naive innocent character and becomes a strong woman. Though she was compassionate for the people she loved, she was also ruthless towards her enemies.
The latest chapter of the novel showed Ophelia facing off with the empress.
The novel however was incomplete. The last update was three years ago!
The girl sighs and shuts her laptop close. Her heart was dying to know what happens next, after such an interesting story-line which had her go through a turmoil of different emotions, it was hard to not know how the story will end.
But it seemed like the author has finally given up.
She decided to buy some late night snacks with the 24/7 convenience store which was close from her house. After taking her smart-phone and pulling on a hoodie she left the empty lonely space of her apartment.
Outside, the air has suddenly stopped blowing. The dark rainy clouds were gathering together and forming a thick blanket that engulfed the moon and stars. Beneath her feet, the wet pavement glistened with the reflection of the street lights and night life.
With a yawn, she entered the convenience store. There was not much she bought, just some extra spicy bags of chips and few cans of coffee. When she proceeded to the counter, the counter boy noticed that his machine was not working well and so he asked for some fifteen minutes.
Meanwhile, the girl opened her phone and decided to search for 'saltymeow' on social media sites. There might be some information about her, but she couldn't find anything. A sudden sound made her flinch, a girl stood in front of her who has just smacked a can of coffee on the counter.
The counter boy and the reader both looked at her with wide eyes.
This girl had slightly messy hair and dark eyes, her face seemed tired and pale but she has naturally beautiful facial features. Her eyes were big and clear, with long lashes, a straight small nose, and chapped but pretty lips, she looked like a beautiful witch from some novel.
"I... I am sorry, I am just so sleepy" she scratched her head, and then glanced at the other girl, 
"Hi" she anxiously smiled and returned her gaze to the phone,
"Hey, I Amber!" she tilted her head, "Remember me? We are in the same class?"
"Amber...?" the girl couldn't remember her, "Oh maybe it's because we don't sit nearby, sorry I don't remember you"
"My seat is behind you" she pouted,
"..."
An awkward silence ensued which was broken by the counter-boy who has packed their items in paper bags and provided them with their bills. After paying, the two girls walked out of the store together. Anna noticed that the other girl seemed sorry and a bit confused.
"Don't think too much about it" Amber chuckled, "I bet you don't know half of your classmates! You were always studying and I doubt you have a social life..."
"Well yeah..."
"I saw what you searched in your phone" Amber glanced down at her feet, they were walking on the pavement, "Did you read her novel?"
"Yes, you know it?"
"Mn, what do you think about it?"
"It is good, but the author has crappy taste when it comes to presentation so the novel is not really popular"
"I see....erm...If the novel is updated again, will you still read it?"
"Of course" came the reply, "But who knows what will happen to this novel now, the author has not updated since three years!"
"True, but she has no readers for a long time...now she does, so she might update again"
"Yea..." something felt odd, "Have you read it too?"
...or have you written it?
"I did. Light novels are my favorite, would you like to hang out with me sometimes? We can discuss our favorite novels and authors!"
The girl smiled knowingly. The number of reads have not changed...since it was so less, the girl was aware that she was the only reader. Pushing back her doubts, she replied with a smile,
"I would love to but there is not much time for that. The entrance exam for the university will happen next month, mom won't allow me to go out"
"A couple of hours won't do any harm" Amber pouted, "You don't even need to tell her"
The idea of lying and going was so common for kids her age, but she was shaped into a perfect doll that her mother liked. She was not allowed to have such thoughts...
...and for that very reason, she wanted to defy her mother this one time. She bit her lips thinking about it.
It has been sometime, since she started feeling confined into a place she found uncomfortable. The way her wishes were dismissed and she was expected to follow the path made for her, all this has ignited a small spark of rebellion inside her.
"Alright, lets go out somewhere tomorrow"
"Cool" Amber said, "Oh, my house is on the other side. See you later~"
They bid their farewells and parted.
Amber was already halfway across the road when the other girl realized that she need to have Amber's number if they want to hang out. Just as she was thinking about this, Amber suddenly froze in the middle of the road. She did not moved but there were slight tremors on her body, something seemed very odd about her.
Suddenly, she fainted on the road.
This panicked the girl, her heart lurched and without a second thought she ran towards Amber. She quickly pulled out her phone to call the ambulance, there was only a short distance between them when all of sudden a giant blue truck sped through. She staggered back instinctively, the truck has almost killed her. 
But the scene in front of her seemed no less terrifying than the idea of death, the bag fell from her hands and she took a shaky step back.
There was red everywhere.

“It’s not the stars that hold my destiny, I do.”

Nesrin had lived a life which was never truly hers, she followed the path laid for her by others to fit in and to make everyone happy. She was a school prodigy, and pursued a career in the medical line as per her mother's wish. But this kind of life was suffocating her, and so when her last day came there was no grief, but her heart was full of so many regrets.

Just when she thought everything would end, Nesrin found herself in the life of a character from her favorite novel. However, even in this world her fate was already decided. She has transmigrated inside a character that lives a short life and dies tragically.

This time she will not be bound by her destiny. She will pave her own path and live the life she has always dreamt of.

However, a life inside the palace is not as easy as it seems. This world of fantasy is much harsher than the world she came from. Can she really uphold her bold words?
____

"You are the worst" he whispered against her ear, "The worst kind of person who makes me feel so right, so out of control"

When she didn't protest, he leaned in closer to her and touched her lips with his. That was all-just a touch, small, soft and teasing tempting touch. His gaze lifted to meet hers.

"But if I can see you like this...this look on your face as if you want it all. I don't mind practicing a little control."

Nesrin wanted to run away, he was like a fire that could devour her whole. She knew it would lead to no good endings, but a small part of her wanted to see how close she could get to this fire without burning.

'Continuing the contract?' In her mind, she was confused by the sound of the sword, she didn't even know when she had started contact with the shiny green blade, which was the first time she was chatted with that sword.
"The contract is up 99%. Would you like to continue?" Even though Anastasia was talking to herself, but the sword seemed to hear her.
The sword statement said that the contract only had 1% left to complete the contact. Still, Anastasia did not immediately accept to continue because she remembered Clara's advice.
Anastasia was a little more careful because she didn't know how much the 1% sword meant.
"Shiny Green Sword? I want to ask what contract did we agree on?" Anastasia asked her carefully not to accept the contract offer from the sword directly.
"Bloodlust."
Anastasia immediately remembered Clara's advice to refuse a contract that asked for blood or lifeblood. Still, hearing that there was only 1% remaining contract to complete, Anastasia was a little curious about how much it was.
"Only 1%? How much blood have I given?" Anastasia put her finger to her chin while guessing it.
"Contract progress [5499/5500]."
"Just one point short? Isn't that great? I'll continue the contract, Shiny Green Sword!" Without thinking, Anastasia immediately continued her contract because she only needed 1 point to complete their contract.
"Contract accepted!"
After the sword accepted to continue the contract, slowly, the green ball Anastasia was holding began to glow brightly. Because the light was too bright, she immediately closed her eyes.
"Wind's Obsidian Quickblade" The soft voice spoke his own name as the bright light shone.
* Blink *
The bright light shone for a long time until it slowly dimmed. Anastasia slowly opened her eyes and saw Tiana and Clara above her.
"Anna. Anna?" Tiana gently patted Anastasia's cheek with a worried expression.
"Am I asleep?" Anastasia was confused because before her contract, she was sitting on the side of the bed.
"You fainted after the green sword flashed brightly", Tiana explained while staring at Anastasia's face who was lying down.
"What? I passed out?" Anastasia immediately opened her eyes wide and immediately pushed her body to sit on the bed.
"Yes, after the bright light dimmed we saw you drop your sword and pass out", Tiana explained more calmly because she saw Anastasia who was already conscious.
"How's the contract?" Anastasia asked in a panic to Clara, who was behind Tiana.
"Looks like it worked, take a look at the back of your hand. Is there a shining sign?" Clara showed a symbol of icicles on the back of her hand that glowed light blue.
Seeing the symbol on the back of Clara's hand, she raised her right hand and focused her thoughts on the back of her hand. Slowly, a green light appeared that formed the Cecilia Flower emblem.
"I saw it, Clara." Anastasia's face became happy after seeing the symbol in her hand and showed it to Clara.
"Yes, it is the symbol of wind magic, Cecilia flower. Congratulations, you have officially become the master of this sword." Clara clapped and congratulated to Anastasia.
Clara then took the green sword that was leaning against the cupboard and gave it to Anastasia.
Anastasia took the green sword that was already inserted into the scabbard.
"What contract did you make with this sword? Do you remember my advice?" Clara asked Anastasia out of curiosity.
"Uhm. Ahh ... I'm sorry, I made a [Bloodlust] contract" Anastasia actually took the contract that Clara forbade.
"B.Bloodlust? Jeez, you really are reckless! Didn't I warn you before?" Clara was surprised by the contract that Anastasia had made and immediately approached her.
"Wait a minute, I can explain. When I made a contract with that sword, it turned out that the progress of the sword was already [5499/5500]." Anastasia wagged her hand and explained what made her accept the contract from the sword.
"Yes. There is actually a reason why I asked you to refuse a contract asking for blood and lifeblood." Clara's face was a little annoyed, but in her mind, she was still worried.
"But I'm fine. You don't have to worry, Clara." Anastasia immediately gets out of bed and stretches her body to show Clara that she's okay.
"Even if it's just one point down, it's still hazardous. What's more, you don't know how much blood to ask for. You really are careless, Your Highness." Clara smiled at Anastasia's behavior, trying to show that she was okay.
"I'm sorry, Clara, I was really careless." Anastasia lowered her head deeply.
"Fortunately, nothing happened to you. Many people will be sad if anything happens to you." Clara, with a sad expression.
"Thanks, Clara, for worrying about me." Anastasia approached a sad Clara and hugged her.
"All right, since you understand. I'll be back in the room, worried the guards will find me."
"Uh, if I don't come back to my room? I want to sleep with Tiana." Anastasia with a pitiful face wants to sleep with her friend.
"It doesn't matter, since you are friends so I can't stop you, I'll tell the guards later." Clara allowed Anastasia to sleep in Tiana's bedroom.
"Thanks, Clara." Anastasia smiled at her.
"Then I will go back to my room." Clara bowed her little body to Anastasia and came out of Tiana's bedroom.
* Click *
After Clara came out, Anastasia lay on the bed, hugging her sword.
"I still can't believe that you already have your personal sword." Tiana happily after seeing Anastasia hugging her sword.
"Yes, besides that, I'm curious about this book." Anastasia put her sword down on the table and took out the book she had previously seen picked up when Tiana was looking for the Scroll of Magic.
"Ah, that's my favorite romance novel 'Handsome Prince and Country Girl'." Tiana looked at the book Anastasia was holding.
"Is that interesting?"
Anastasia did not like reading at all because it was so dull. When she was on 'earth' Anastasia never saved or read a novel which contained all writing, she was prefered picture books.
"Yes, this is a fascinating novel. This novel tells of a village girl loved by a handsome Prince and lots of touching conflicts. Even though I have read it many times, it still makes me touched" Tiana was very excited when she told the book.
"I've never read a novel at all because it looks so boring." Anastasia closed the book [Handsome Prince and Country Girl].
"You must like it, Anna. You should try to read it." Tiana took the book that Anastasia had closed and opened it again.
"Hmm, since you are so passionate about this novel, I'm a little curious." Anastasia was curious about Tiana's favorite book.
Then they read the novel 'Handsome Prince and Country Girl' until almost morning.
"* Sob * It's true like you told Tiana, it was really touching. I loved how the country girl faced the noble girls who liked the handsome Prince." Anastasia wipes her tears.
"Yes, I also liked it. But I liked the ending. The Prince chose to give up his status to leave the King, who opposed the Prince's relationship with the Country Girl and chose to live in a small house in the village and be happy." Tiana hugged her favorite book with a happy expression after reading the happy ending.
"* nods * I didn't expect the Prince to be so reckless, leaving his status for the girl he loves. But it makes them happy instead. It seems like I'm starting to like novels, Tiana."
Anastasia began to be interested in novels because she didn't think it would be interesting to read them together. In her world now there are no manga or video games.
"I knew you would like it. I still have some, you can borrow them." Tiana stood up and put her book in the cupboard.
"Being too engrossed in reading, it looks like it's almost morning. We should go to bed." Anastasia looked at the clock in Tiana's room which had already shown 3 am.
Tiana also did not think that they would read books until this early. She immediately turned off the light in her room and turned on the night light.
"This morning you have a plan that you must carry out, you must sleep, Anna." Tiana lay beside Anastasia.
Anastasia nodded and talked a little about the novel she had just read until they both fell asleep.
* Stomp *
"Anna. Anna, it looks like they've arrived." Tiana waked her who was still asleep after hearing the horse stomping.
"Good morning, Tiana." Anastasia wished good morning to her.
"Come on, hurry, you get ready. Your clothes are ready. Clara is waiting for you outside." Tiana asked Anastasia to hurry up and get ready.
"Gosh, I overslept." Anastasia immediately got up from her bed and got ready.
Anastasia immediately came out of Tiana's bedroom and met Clara at the door.
"Have Zach and Leonard been brought?" Anastasia asked Clara whose expression was a little worried.
"There's a little problem that needs you." Without explaining what had happened, Clara led Anastasia to Leonard and Zach's treatment room.

This is my first book ever written. Apologize for the bad writing. I am slowly editing it but it takes time. Once you get to the next chapter, the quality gets much better.

Three days later.
Seiji finished his vacation… er, his recovery and left the hospital. After returning home with Shika, he went out again before long. They headed to the bookstore together.
They immediately headed for the light novel section and soon found what they were looking for...
"Brother Monogatari"!
The cover art seemed both romantic and mystical. A beautiful black-haired girl who wore mystical attire in the Sakura Island style was holding a vicious demon's mask in her hand and turning back and smiling brilliantly at the readers. Her scarlet eyes seemed especially beautiful, as if they were shining and possessed something mysterious within.
Standing in front of her was a white-haired boy who wore a collared jacket. He was sticking both his hands in his pants' pockets, and he was also turning to look behind him. Only half of his handsome face and sharp gaze could be seen. It appeared like he was either looking at something behind him or gazing at the girl.
The cover art seemed professionally done and was quite appealing. The art was of obviously higher quality than the other light novels next to it in the new arrivals area. Any layman could tell the difference.
Seiji was quite excited as he reached out and took a copy.
Shika also picked up a copy of "Brother Monogatari". Something flashed in her eyes as she looked at the cover.
Then, both of them exchanged glances with each other and smiled. Their smiles contained the feeling of bliss.
Another customer in the bookstore, a man wearing a round hat, paused in surprise upon seeing such a scene. He felt like this was just like a scene straight out of a movie.
'Who are these kids? This handsome boy and beautiful girl, are they idols or models?'
His attention drawn to them, he wondered about their identities. His gaze was then drawn to the light novel they had both picked up a copy of.
"Brother Monogatari"… this seemed like a strange book title to him.
The cover art was quite beautiful… and he felt that the beautiful girl drawn on the cover greatly resembled this girl in front of him?
The man was quite surprised at this resemblance.
He hid his emotions and picked up a copy of "Brother Monogatari" as well. He began to read the story.
He was instantly drawn into the story right from the very start.
This novel had a unique style and excellent readability. Reading it would naturally cause the reader to be able to imagine what was happening, as if the reader was watching an exquisitely drawn anime!
The insert art's quality was quite high as well. It beautifully complemented the story's contents, helping the readers insert themselves into the story's world.
The man unknowingly lost himself in reading the story. He got addicted to reading and didn't even notice that the handsome boy and beautiful girl had left long ago.
"Dear customer, please don't stand here reading for too long," a bookstore employee spoke to him, but the round-hat-wearing man didn't even notice.
"Dear customer!" The book store employee increased his voice's volume.
The round-hat-wearing man was furious to have been interrupted while reading. When he turned to see that it was a book store employee, his anger dissipated, replaced by embarrassment.
"I apologize…" He closed the "Brother Monogatari" book. "I'd like to purchase this light novel."
"Thank you for your purchase." After ringing the man's purchase up, the employee gave him a glare of "don't just read books without purchasing them" before leaving him alone.
The round-hat-wearing man looked around him but didn't see the boy and girl anywhere.
"'Brother Monogatari'… Idle Dimension by the Shore…"
He looked at the book in his hands and muttered the author's name to himself as he left the bookstore.
Seiji and Shika both purchased three copies each of "Brother Monogatari's" first volume. One copy would be for personal reading, one for collecting, and one for loaning out to friends.
They were both quite confident in the quality of their own light novel. Still, it remained to be seen how well the book would sell.
Seiji received a phone call some time after he returned home.
The call was from Hisashi.
"Seigo, are you out of the hospital yet?"
"Yes, I've left already."
"That's good, then." Hisashi paused for a moment. "This humble one has already purchased and started reading a copy of Milord's novel that was published today."
"What did you think?"
"It's excellent, as expected of something personally written by Milord!" Hisashi gave him passionate praise. "I would really like to finish reading it in one go. It's such a pity that I have other things to do today. I can only wait until I have some free time. Just the part that I've read so far makes me believe that this will become a famous bestseller! Many people will become Milord's fervent believers in the future!"
"Thanks for your kind words. It would be nice if that really came true." Seiji smiled.
"Of course it will come true! Milord's light shall illuminate the world!"
"No need to exaggerate things so much. This is only a light novel."
"No, this isn't merely a light novel, it's the beginning to Milord's legend! As the First Knight under your command, I'm quite honored to follow your cause. I shall support you to my fullest!" Hisashi spoke quite seriously.
"Thank you for your support. We are quite lucky to have such a loyal retainer like you." Seiji chuckled and responded using the royal pronoun "we".
Seiji treated all of this as a joke. He didn't actually understand the true meaning of Hisashi's "full support".
After they ended their conversation, Hisashi placed his cell phone on his computer desk and contacted someone on the internet.
"What is it, Sweet Pig-dono?"
"I would like for you to help me advertise a light novel that was just published today, Tea Brewer-kun. You can charge me as much as you think is necessary."
"What a joke, how could I possibly charge Sweet Pig-dono any money? You merely have to ask. What's the name of the light novel you want to help advertise for?"
"'Brother Monogatari'. It's a new story published by Thunderbolt Literature."
Hisashi then contacted various other online contacts and had similar conversations with them.
He then adjusted his eyeglasses and smiled satisfactorily as he gazed at all the numerous conversation windows on his computer screen.
"My 'support' doesn't mean that I'll simply buy a few of your books, Seiji-kun."
Later that night, Mika, Chiaki, and Kaede all arrived at Seiji's apartment. All three had a copy of "Brother Monogatari" with them. They all sat down by the kotatsu and started reading together as if this place was hosting a book club.
Seiji read "Brother Monogatari" together with them as well. Although he was intimately familiar with the story, he still wanted to read it again.
He kept receiving phone calls or text messages from all his friends. They all wanted to tell him their opinions of "Brother Monogatari".
"Excellent story. The insert art is beautiful as well. Overall, you've done a great job, Shore-sensei." — from Natsuya.
"Your story that you wrote together with Kagura-san seems pretty good. I give you 9.5 points out of 10." — from Mai.
"This is a wonderful story! I really like the main character; I think he's quite similar to Senpai." — from Hoshi.
"Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. I recalled when you first showed your story to me a while back… Heh heh, I was your first reader ever." — from Rika Amami.
"Your novel is even better than I imagined, and you even did all the art for it as well! It's truly amazing… I'm feeling a little like I can't compare as an artist." — from Yukari.
"Your novel was excellent. It helped to give us inspiration for writing new music." — from Rion and Kotomi.
"Nice story. The insert art was great as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing if you'll draw manga in the future." — from Mayuzumi.
"The current reaction seems to be quite good. The sales numbers should be pretty good as well." — from Saki.
"It feels just like I'm watching an anime with how detailed your scenes' descriptions are. This is the best light novel I've ever read." — from Kaho.
"'Brother Monogatari' is amazing! I can't even put it down! I'm not going to go to sleep tonight until I finish reading!" — from Kanna Fujihara.
"Your novel is quite something. I can feel your spirit within it." — from Ryuuno Izawa.
Apart from his friends, Seiji also received messages from his fellow authors.
"Although I already knew that your light novel is the true deserving recipient of the Gold Award from the previous award ceremony, your story still exceeded my expectations when I read it. I can only admit defeat." — from Koushi Nomura.
"'Brother Monogatari' is excellent. It's so good that I don't want it to end." — from Miyabi Ishihara.
"Just as Nomura-san said before, your story is truly amazing. I'm astonished that you even personally drew such beautiful artwork for your story. Or was that your adopted younger sister's artwork? At any rate, it's a truly wonderful story. Most ordinary light novels can't even compare." — from Yuuko Hashimoto.
"'Brother Monogatari' is a wonderful story. Your writing and artwork are both top level. You're a true genius." — from Shousei Maishi.
"I really enjoyed reading 'Brother Monogatari'. Good luck on becoming a bestseller." — from Imai Yoshida.
"Even the main character of a novel that a handsome guy like you writes is also a handsome guy. Sheesh. It's also quite enraging how interesting you've managed to make your story. The insert art you did is ridiculously beautiful as well. It's certain to become a bestseller… remember to invite me to a barbeque after you receive your paycheck! It's best if you can bring your cute sister Kagura-san together as well." — from Tsuyoshi Matsutani.
Seiji was delighted to receive so many excellent reviews and well wishes.
Seiji looked towards Shika who was next to him.
Shika looked at him as well.
The two adopted siblings exchanged glances and smiled blissfully yet again.


Translator note: Apologies to the readers. This series is currently on hiatus. We ask for your understanding!
A 30-year-old Chinese NEET is reincarnated into the body of an otaku that choked to death on instant noodles. As he comes to grips with his new life, he realizes that this world is subtly different from Earth. The denizens of this world are far better looking, and this new world also possesses futuristic technology as well as mysterious Yin Yang masters! 
After reincarnating, he realized that he was endowed with a miraculous game-like system, which enables him to increase his own stats and transcend the limits of the human body. This system even has a game-breaking ability to save and load in real life!
In this new world that’s akin to a 2-D game, he just wants to enjoy life and head for a glorious future... However, he is quickly embroiled in a complex plot. Can he unlock his true potential and utilize his system to break the shackles that confine him and discover the truth about his previous body’s circumstances? 

"Then, I'll send the text to your emails."
Kimura Kazuki grinned at the sight of this. He did retain their contact information when he was their home tutor.
Soon, the four people received the mail.
Although Akino sounded unimpressed, being an amateur of Anime, Comic, and Games (ACG), although she hasn't written any of her own light novels yet, she read novels regularly. It was her spiritual food, her whole body would feel uncomfortable if she did not flip through a few pages in a single day.
However… her mouth twitched involuntarily when she saw the book titled Loading File Of Tokyo.
It was probably another light novel which utilized mind-reading ability to fall in love. By the time it was put on sale, they could include a few illustrations in the novel and sell the illustrations with a bunch of toilet paper.
Nowadays, toilet paper novels were increasing in number.
Since the novel named Re: An Alien Life Starting from Scratch became a hit, not only did light novels featuring another world increase, but this type of life resetting theme had increased as well, overwhelming and overloading the readers' aesthetic sense.
While teasing about it, Akino downloaded the novel and began reading raptly. Kimura Kazuki was just sitting right in front of her. If he could just find an excuse to bully her on the pretext of her reckless reading... 
The four sisters read quickly as there was only one chapter. If there was anyone else who wanted them to review a novel with only one chapter, they would probably refuse and despised it while they were at it. Especially Furuhashi Akino, she would even scold a few words.
Natsui was the first to finish the novel, she raised her head slightly and took a glance at the others, her eyes met Harunaka's in an instant.
"How was it? Good? "
"How do I know...I have never read a novel before. If I tell you that this is my first time reading a light novel, would you believe it?"
"Yes. This is my first time reading a novel, too, but I find it quite interesting."
"It is not bad, there is a lot of suspense. But… to know whether it is good enough, we still have to ask Akino and Fuyuno."
They communicated with their eyes for a moment then shifted their gaze toward Akino and Fuyuno.
Needless to say, Akino was an expert in ACG, she would definitely be able to provide a thoughtful analysis later on; they could only call for her help.
Of course, Fuyuno had always wanted to become a voice actor. She had also taken up light novels and animated shows. Speaking about the understanding of light novels and animated shows, she was much more professional than Akino.
Harunaka and Natsui made eye contact again, realizing that the eyesight of Kimura Kazuki was turning toward them, they were frightened and put an act on reading the novel.
Obviously, they were afraid that the other side would ask them questions, they really had no idea on how to answer questions regarding novels. They had a pretty good impression of this single chapter novel before them, but they were worried if this was an illusion coming from their first experience of light novel reading.
After all, Akino had mentioned that it was normal for a person to be immediately fascinated when they first read a novel. On the first read, no matter how bad the writing skill, plot, and storyline were, people would be able to tolerate and accept. Only when more novels were read, then one could differentiate the good and bad of a book. As such, both of them dared not comment.
Shortly after, Akino and Fuyuno finished their readings as well.
"Not bad, but it is too short."
"Great, but it is too short."
Akino and Fuyuno spoke one after another...
Kimura Kazuki was pleasantly surprised when he heard them spoke in unison.
He noticed that both Harunaka and Natsui had finished their readings just now, but they were dodging his eyes as if it was hard for them to speak out. He thought that the novel was dull… looking at how their eyes were shining with anticipation now that Akino and Fuyuno had spoken, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
One novel could not be in favor of everyone. He was very clear of this, moreover, now there was only one chapter completed for Loading File Of Tokyo.
Akino was no longer eating. A while ago, she thought that this novel was a life resetting love story. It was out of her expectation that this was crime fiction. Instead, something came up to her mind in a second, "Is this novel going to participate in the crime fiction section of 'Let's Be A Light Novelist'?"
"Yes," Kimura Kazuki nodded.
Akino and Fuyuno appeared to understand, they had obviously heard about this essay competition.
Upon hearing this, Harunaka seemed to think of something, she spoke with a strange look, "Senior… are you the author of this novel?"
Before they got in contact, Kimura Kazuki told her that he had found a job. His emotions were tense because of the comments on this novel. He even claimed that this was the work of his friend. She was quite sure that this was the work of Kimura Kazuki himself. 
"No… it really is my friend's work," Having spoken these words, he became speechless when he noticed that all of them seemed not to trust him.
"This novel shouldn't be the work of senior," Fuyuno continued to flip through the novel, she spoke with certainty, "The writing style is very similar to a novel which I have read, named Record Book of Matsuzawa Hospital."
Kimura Kazuki looked at Fuyuno in shock, he then nodded his head, "Yes, it was written by that person, you can see it just from the writing style?"
"I recently revised the Record Book of Matsuzawa Hospital again," Fuyuno grinned embarrassedly, "I just like the writing style of Gentera, the words under the tip of his or her pen could easily stir up the emotions of others."
Kimura Kazuki did not fully understand what she said, he was unsure what was the feeling of 'words under the tip of his or her pen could stir up the emotions of others.' But he was still happy since Fuyuno considered it to be good. 
After all, this light novel was going to participate in the essay competition, if it was written well… it would be adapted into comic books or animations, as long as these two were done, it would surely gain the acknowledgment from readers. By that time, Yuriko's obsession could naturally be fulfilled.
"In fact, there's usually nothing much to see from the first chapter of light novels," Akino spoke suddenly, her interest was aroused, "However in this novel… the suspicion and strength of the protagonist were tossed out in the air since the first chapter, that's why I am very interested. You can ask your friend to update it as soon as possible, by then, I can help you to publicize it on Twitter. Be informed that I actually have millions of fans…if anyone else requests me to advertise for them, they will have to pay me a lot of money."
"Really? Why do I not know that you have been earning money from advertisements?" Natsui spoke out of nowhere. "Do you still remember how much money you actually owe us?"
Akino snorted lightly and raised her chin, "My Twitter account is different from those marketing accounts, I have never posted any advertisement before, all of my posts are gaming strategies. Otherwise, how could I get so many fans!"
"Wait…senior, you actually knew teacher Gentera?" Akino was still arguing with Natsui, while Fuyuno suddenly came to a realization after having two spoons of rice. Fuyuno, who was always calm and cold, cried out softly, she laid her eyes on Kimura Kazuki with astonishment, "Both of you are friends in real life?"
Usually, after the beginning of a new novel was completed, it would be first handed to the editor. But there was only one chapter now, perhaps the editor would not bother to have a look.
"You're right."
"So, is teacher Gentera a male or female?"
Kimura Kazuki took a curious glance at Furuhashi Fuyuno, he answered honestly, "Female."
"Sure enough… I knew it." Fuyuno could barely hide her smile, she explained with slight awkwardness when she realized that Kimura Kazuki was giving her a weird stare. "I've been thinking of teacher Gentera as a female all along, but my friend kept telling me that only a man could write such meticulous words in this modern society. So we bet on this… now it seems like I have won."
"Fuyuno… since when did you make new friends? Your old friend, Komuro Jun, hasn't him been transferred to another school?"
The Furuhashi sisters stared at Fuyuno inquisitively. Fuyuno had no choice but to answer, "Although I said she was a friend, she is actually a senior from the voice actor sector. Her name is Yukito Hirata, you guys should be able to recall that I had registered for a voice actor school during my junior high summer holiday, right?"
"Oh..."Akino's mind clicked in an instant, "Isn't the Hirata Performer School founded by Hirata Performer Management Company? I heard that they closed down a few months ago."
Fuyuno coughed lightly, gave Akino a stern glare, and did not say another word.


Time travelling from the majestic era after the Recuperation of Reiki, he became Kimura Kazuki, a 16-year-old high school student in Japan, one year before the Reiki Recuperation.

Tentatively, he set out to hone himself to the bone, burning candles at both ends to stockpile resources in preparation for the imminent Recuperation of Reiki. His goal was to be many steps ahead of all humanity when the time comes.

However, it seemed like fate had decided to play a cruel trick on him.

One year later, the Recuperation of Reiki... did not happen as expected.

Sota Toyoda is a small boy who lost his parents at a young age and now lives with his aunt Ruka.  His only friend is Harumi, who often berates him. He is a shy guy who lacks self-confidence and his classmates take advantage of him. One day, a portal opens and a fairy enters his bathtub. Eventually, Sota became a love magnet for four fairies!

This is a story about a young girl named Zoey and her older brother Joseph surviving after being chased out of a burning castle. What will happen throughout all the hardships these two siblings will go through? I guess you'll just have to read to find out

-Leaving that unknown era behind we travel in time to meet our MC-

"Oii! Watch where you are going!"

The man, who must be in his forties, clearly disgruntled and irritated, because of hot cocoa in plastic cup in his hand, with at least half cocoa still in cup and rest on his suit, and dripping on pavement.

He furiously turned around to focus on our MC, and then figured the reason out, why he crashed with him. Our MC was holding a light novel in his hands, and the man at the sight of it, scowled and snorted.

Our MC, was quite short than the man, probably who was at least 6 feet, while our MC 5 feet or something around it. Our MC seemed like a boy who may commit suicide; dull, black, slightly disheveled hair, which reached till his nape; dead fish like eyes, with black pupils; long and pointed nose, with small mouth, gaping slightly...and eye bags adding finishing touches to his face, which mostly remained stoic.

What was to be added more, ah his plain, long sleeved, black T-shirt with dark blue jeans which was so dark, it was quite difficult to differentiate between dark blue and black, with black sneakers and a light novel in his hands, which all summed up to one thing for most of the people, is our MC will probably commit suicide.

Our MC, was taken aback by sudden outburst of the old man, and was staring blankly at the man, and than apologized while stuttering a little.

"Uh..s..sir..I am extremely sorry about.. about what happened.."

The man, spoke quite loudly..

"Darn, kids this days! Getting hooked on those stupid light novels and reading in public, while paying no attention to their surrounding-"

"Shut your stupid trap, you bastard." 

The man, was shocked at sudden transformation of this week boy into a volatile teenager, and than walked away, occasionally throwing glances, while turning around, at MC.

-Yeah hello, I will take it over for now-

I know, some of you, only some of you, might think, I was rude to that man, and shouldn't have talked back like that.

Yeah, I agree, but I still feel no guilt or even a single shred of it, because, if you read light novel in my city, they will behave like this towards you...and the stupid and an irrelevant, reason they give to hate light novel and manga is... they think, the people of a stupid society, to which, unfortunately I belong, light novel and manga are reason children turn dull, and sometimes even a neet or a shut-in.

What the hell! What type of reasoning is that?! Stupid and fucking reasoning?! It's not light novel and stuff which has negative effect on children or teenagers, and all readers, if you do read one, and someone belittles about it, just tell them to read my novel, at least I will get more readers. Curse all this conservative people! I mean that's what I think... they are conservative...

Anyway, this belittling doesn't have any effect on me.. most of the time, cause I am way past getting triggered because I am reading light novel and blah blah blah! However, there is one thing which triggers me...

"Why all heroes and protagonists have random super strong power and have a fucking hot harem of girls, with most of them having unimaginably huge breasts and strong feelings for protagonist, yet that bloke doesn't even realize it, and most of all, accepts all beatings of girls in his harem even though it is not his fault! What the fuck?! Is he a mother fucking masoch..."

Ooo... I said it out a bit..loud...

There were gazes full of contempt in my direction. Will this wasn't uncommon..I mean this all started when the fact, that I read light novel and stuff, was exposed to all people, which was like...I don't know the time... and don't care anymore... 

Well this it for me, Ryuushiki isshiki..

My light novel's pages started fluttering due to wind, so I decided to switch to my phone.

I gently, placed my light novel in my bag, so as it's pages are not damaged or folded, and swap it with my phone, and try to open a light novel file... and how much fucking unfortunate will my day be, that my phone got hanged. I sighed and continued walking.

Whatever...

-During all this took place, a child was crossing the road, not paying attention to red light, or the truck speeding towards him, and then it strucked our MC, that child was going to be rolled over and could have possibly.. saved him but-

The hell! The child will be rolled over... but.. whatever. I am not sacrificing my life for a child who could possibly be a neet or shut-in and could affect our economy.

That's my stupid and fucking reasoning.

-But fate or some other power had planned something else for Ryuushiki.

-When he gave his 'reasoning' his phone suddenly buzzed and an unusual and abnormal shock was sent in his body, due to which he tripped sideways, and unintentionally pushed the child out of harms way and was, instead, hit by the truck.

Damn it..! My vision suddenly got blurry and I was blinking trying to focus my vision. I could see blurred figure of people, swarming around me, shouting something, which I could not perceive clearly, all I could hear was that sound ecg makes when it is in straight line, and then I felt something or someone, probably shaking me, I tried to say something but was not able to.

My body felt wet and hot yet cold. I tried to move my hand and it slowly got into my line of sight. The haziness in my vision slowly disappeared, and I could see my hand, which... unusually was very red. I was little slow on uptake, but when I felt something liquid... which was hot, coming out of my mouth, I realized I was in pool of my own blood with me making gurgling sound as I coughed blood and tears trickling down and tracing my cheekbone and eventually mixing with my blood, like a river, which meets the sea. It was painful once I realized I was lying in pool of my own blood, with probably some urine, hit by the truck which was probably on run, and I will die. Leaving my family to weep in despair, yes.. my family... why... should I die? What... have I done to deserve this...? This is... unfair..? Why..?  Why..me...why me..why me?! Why...?

Our MC who hated isekai protagonist with ridiculously strong powers, has a mission now. To transmigrate into different worlds to kill protagonist. 



(novel inspired by another webnovel which only has 4 to 6 chapters, so I restarted it, in my own way.)

"Okay, I will send it now."
 
Since the writing software on the Phone and computer are linked, what he wrote yesterday can be found on his phone too, which was convenient. Mu Fan selected the words and send them directly to Tomoya.
 
In any case, Tomoya was a world-renowned Blogger, so he should be able to see the cons of a book and whether I could make a hit in the market or not.
 
Tomoya was also an Otaku, he usually loved reading novels, watching anime and playing games. He made comments on his block every now and then about light novels which received support from many fans. He became a well-known blogger for AVG information. It can be said that he has read countless light novels and his understanding of them is quite profound.
 
Today, since he knew Mu Fan as they worked together on a restaurant before, he didn't mind helping Mu Fan since the latter just started writing. He wanted to point out every mistake and give Mu Fan some guidance, but when he saw Mu Fan's novel, he was actually quite surprised.
 
"The story of <<Accel World>> occurs in the future when everyone has a microcomputer called NeuroLinker that connect them to the network directly and because of some program, the user can accelerate their brainwaves to the point that time seems to stop."
 
Although the story was simple, from the perspective of an experienced person who knows about novels, this kind of novel isn't easy to be written by someone who just started writing.
 
As soon as he saw this simple introduction, Tomoya lost interest in continuing. The subject of Science Fiction wasn't that popular these days, and from the nerve connection device they have the setting shouldn't be that good.
 
But as he looked down, Tomoya's brows wrinkled.
 
Haruyuki "Haru" Arita is a short, overweight boy who is frequently ridiculed by delinquents at the Umesato Junior High School. Using his Neuro Linker to escape the torment of real life, he logs onto the school's Local Network cyberspace where he always plays virtual squash alone.
 
In today's novels and Animes, Taking fat people as the starting point of a story is definitively a big taboo. After all, people who read novel can probably imagine their favorite characters in their hearts, but if the protagonist is a fat person, I'm afraid that people won't be able to persist on reading.
 
Not to mention that fat man is relatively weak and incapable of doing anything except being bullied.
 
…
 
However, because of the protagonist being so weak, He wanted to see his counter-attack to resolve all of the bullyings. As Tomoya continued to read, He didn't notice that he was completely Engrossed in reading.
 
Although he was weak, his personality was the greatest strength this novel had.
 
The next day, Kuroyukihime, the school's popular, highly intellectual and attractive female Student Council Vice-President added him to the ranks of Burst Linkers, a secret program that is able to accelerate the human cognitive process to the point at which time appears to stop. And using this same program Kuroyukihime helped him get rid of the bullies.
 
Haruyuki soon learns that Brain Burst is more than just a program, but an Augmented Reality Massively Multiplayer Online (ARMMO) Fighting Game where people fight each other in fierce duels in order to obtain Burst Points which can be spent for acceleration abilities in the real world. Kuroyukihime then enlists Haruyuki's help in reaching Level 10…
 
 
The story comes to an end with more than 40,000 words.
 
After watching all the current plots, Tomoya was completely stunned. This kind of novel where you can accelerate and affect the world can't be found in any novel nowadays. Tomoya wanted to see what happens next but that's all there is now.
 
As a well-known blogger, Tomoya looked at countless novels, from what he just read he can predict that Accel world is definitively a masterpiece. And because it's the first masterpiece of it's kind it can get a lot of success.
 
"Mu Fan, This novel was written so well that I couldn't think of you as a new writer. What happens next in the story?"
 
Tomoya praised Mu Fan and wanted to know what happens next as he couldn't wait.
 
Mu Fan who was inside the Cooking club room saw Tomoya's reply and couldn't help but smile as he expected this from the start.
 
This novel, after all, is one of it's kind, you can see the Protagonist as a knight who wanted to protect his princess but because he is too weak so he continues to struggle and grow for her sake.
 
Moreover, this novel was a masterpiece even in his previous world where there were more Novels than the ones found here.
 
New Write?
 
Mu Fan picked his eyebrows. He wrote for four or five years before, but he wasn't in this world when he did so.
 
"If you know what will happen, it won't be as interesting when you read it. A qualified Author won't spoil for his readers."
 
Mu Fan smiled and sent the message.
 
"Oh, that's right."
 
Tomoya was too eager to continue reading the story that he forgot that people hated spoilers in Anime and novels. Then he thought about what Mu Fan said before and asked: "Mu Fan, Are you going to publish this ASCII Media Works? I do know an author there, if you want we can go together this Saturday, I will introduce you."
 
"Okay, Actually, I'm preparing to participate in the new comer's competition that ASCII Media Works is holding. Now that you know someone there, let's go on Saturday."
 
"That's good then the follow-up story should be written quickly. If I can't read it quickly I will die."
 
"Relax, I won't let you die."
 
…
 
Mu Fan finished his talk with Tomoya and started writing his novel again. At this time Asuna came over and took a look at the text that was being typed rapidly on the phone and asked In amazement: "Mu Fan, You… Are you writing a novel?"
 
"Yeah."
 
Mu Fan nodded and remembered that Asuna was singing a song from an anime and he couldn't help but ask: "Do you like reading light novels?"
 
"My Family has always brought many famous books for me to read. I was really tired of reading them! So when I have little free time, I go read some light novels to relax. Just like "Koi Kaze" the light novel that I recently read."
 
Asuna said so and went to the opposite chair in front of Mu Fan and sat there. She held her chin and looked at Mu Fan curiously while her two peaks were resting on the table.
 
Asuna is a beauty recognized in the school as a Goddess, It's not far that she will turn into a completely hot stunning beauty.
 
"Mu Fan, what is the name of your novel?" Asuna asked in a curious tone.
 
Upon hearing Asuna's question, Mu Fan quickly moved his gaze from her peaks and honestly said: "It's called Accel World."
 
"Can I see?"
 
"It's not complete yet as I just started writing it. When I write some more I will give it to you so you can read it."
 
He really didn't have any problem in Asuna reading it, it's just it's still too short as he didn't write that much yet. Also, Accel world's story is somewhat slow. She will have to wait for a while.
 
"Well then, you definitively must let me see it when you finish writing it." Hearing what Mu Fan aid, Asuna nodded.
 
"Ok, no problem at all." Mu Fan smiled and when he was about to say something, Mu Fan heard some commotion at the door of the club behind him. The two turned to see what's going on.
 
At the entrance, there was a petite girl dressed in a brown blouse and a plaid skirt. Her hair was wine-red with a bat-shaped hairpin on her head and also she had a tiger tooth on her mouth which looked really cute. The girl came in as she swaggered toward the table and sat down. She raised her head up and looked at Mu Fan with a proud smile and said.
 
"I am the great Devil Satania, The person who unified Hell, Human beings, come on, Give me a Plain noodle bowl from the sign you put outside!"
 
"Puff!"
 
Hearing this sentence, the water in Mu Fan's mouth was sprayed out. He turned his head and saw Asuna looking at him.
 
The two looked at each other seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, and then turned toward the girl while looking at her with pity…

After crossing over to another world which seemed to be a fusion between many anime worlds, The Fantasy System was unlocked for Mu Fan. After finishing the tasks given by the system, Fantasy points are given which allows him to gain access to the Fantasy store that was full of daily talents and more.

Yuuki Asuna: You know how to cook a lot of dishes. Can you teach me?

Sagiri: I don’t know anyone called Eromanga-Sensei.

Many more characters and interesting plots await us.

Hi everyone! I would like to thank you guys for the support on my novel, but this novel will most likely be drop. Shout out to United States, India, Indonesia, Philippines, United Kingdom, Brazil, Germany, Netherlands, and Nigeria it is so cool that my writing connect to you guys. I would appreciate your time to hear me out on my difficult decision and the journey to write a novel on this platform.
I really really hate to leave this novel unfinish, but I am poor and got to move forward in life. This is not an excuse but a fact. I do not have any regrets about leaving this novel. I am so glad I actually did it. I have always love to read and watch amazing work. My friends and my brothers encourage me as I had a massive vocabulary and that I am a creative nerd.
I am like any other person who wants to be successful and have a dream if only I started earlier like my sophomore year in high school or freshman in college since I had literally tons of free time. Alright, enough of the sad and depressing crap because I am more of enjoy every moment type of guy and always looking at the positive. 
I got into writing light novel from burning passion reading other authors work and that there was not many saucy novel on this platform. Also, if you guys are reading these make more saucy novel similar to mine it sells *ahem* back to my last will. Shout out to IncubusIsLaifu, Einlion, EroJaki, and Akikan40 for their amazing work, and highly recommend checking out their novel. I wanted to write a similar novel like them that had just enough humor, slice of life, action, snu snu scene, and fantasy. Again I am so happy to have started this writing light novel journey and low key got a cool author's badge. 
My writing light novel journey was full of fun. I got offer a contract which was pretty cool, but I did not sign it. I thought I be going places but I made an epic fail when I filled out the form with a freaking typo ughhhhhh! I was so happy when I posted the first 10 chapters and got actual views. I do not know how views work on this platform, but getting 30K in under a month got me so pumped. I mean think about it 30K view is more people I ever meet and gain the attention of. 
Fun facts and bloopers about my novel. I thought it was ingenious when I name the world of the novel scrambling the letters of Earth to be Thera XD. I thought I was a fast writer when I finished  one chapter in five hours, but doing a system and stat page is so tedious to keep track of. I wrote all of my ideas for the novel in a separate notebook. Writing a snu snu scene is actually pretty difficult to capture the emotions, positions, and being descriptive of the action which I got all my vocabulary from Hen aaaaah you know. 
I hope reading this farewell chapter was not boring for you to read because I found it fun to write about. To be honest, I am sad and angry to leave the novel unfinish because of my perfectionist disease however I got to let go. I am glad to actually act on my dreams rather than to always regret not doing it or keep thinking about doing it. Although my writing career was short, I will always remember the fun and stressful time to produce content. Finally, my second main reason to quit is that I do not have enough personal time for myself and for my hobbies lol back to being a huge nerd. 
Last Author's Note: I hope I can read amazing new light novels similar to mine as I don't think I be coming back anytime soon. Thank you to you guys for supporting me up to this point. I enjoy the power stones I recieve and comments to reply to as it made my day even if it was just a little. This is good bye as an author, but you will see me commenting on novels from others work UwU

His regrets were finally answered by the God of Humanity. The MC reincarnated as Zane Evergard. Will he reach the pinnacle of power in a world of sword, magic, and diverse species of people?

LONER AND JULIET: CHAPTER 8 – FEELINGS
Posted by kuraiaku | Apr 16, 2017 | Loner and Juliet | 29  |     
Chapter 8 – Feelings
TL: Cryarc
Editor: Puissansa, Krrizis, Mysterious Editor No.3
 
 
Somehow, by riding on the momentum, I'm going to buy a light novel for Asakura-san. Should I casually ask about what book she might want? (Andou)
 
「Asakura-san, do you have any light novels you've wanted to buy or maybe a title you're interested in?」
 
「Hmmm, they haven't released the book I wanted to buy yet. It's the one with serialization for it being decided recently – 『Other World Cheat Swindler (Conman) 』*. Currently I don't have anything else I'm interested in...
Ah right! Andou-kun, what books are you reading now?」
 
I might as well use this opportunity to ask what light novel Andou-kun likes. If he doesn't mind, I'll ask him to buy it for me. If I do that, after I've finished reading the book we can naturally exchange impressions about it! See, I'm a genius! (Asakura)
 
「M-me? Currently I'm reading this.」
「Which one... eh, 『Saint of Greed』*? This is, if I'm not mistaken it's a novel from Narou which has a female protagonist, right?」
「Yep, even though this is about a female protagonist, this is quite interesting. Because she didn't have any greed, her life was short and she died while regretting that she couldn't stop conflicts in the world. This time, to erase conflicts from the world she is reincarnated as a demon lord who takes everything from the world for herself and forcefully makes people happy, it's that kind of story.」
 
「Hee, it seems surprisingly interesting from the synopsis... Ne! Is there anything else?」
「Uuh... ah, umm…..」
 
Eh? Andou-kun is suddenly panicking, I wonder why? (Asakura)
 
C-crap... I unintentionally became nervous because Asakura-san suddenly smiled at me. Loners have weak resistance against pretty girls who treats them nicely – at this rate I will fall in love with her... Even if fall for her, it's pretty much impossible for the most beautiful girl in school to be willing to date someone like me... Right now I have to maintain my composure by thinking that it's impossible!
 
Fuh, calm down, me... She is not a pretty girl. Right, she is a gremlin. Gremlin, gremlin, she's a gremlin... Alright! (Andou)
 
「I know right. Next one, even though I've only read this recently, it's interesting.」
 
Hmm? Andou-kun is returning to his usual self. I wonder what happened just now? (Asakura)
 
 
「What is it? 『The Villainess Trains the Prince from Enemy Country』* what is this... isn't this a porn book...? 」
「It's not that kind of book! 」
「Sorry sorry, but the title is... 」
「Well… I admit that the title is misleading. But, considering that this is for all ages, there is no scene like that at all...  This is a rom-com story about the protagonist who got reincarnated as a villainess inside an otome-game world. To avoid bad ends, she needed to rehabilitate the evil prince from the enemy country with whips, aiming for happy end.」
「Hee, after hearing about the content it seems interesting. But, it looks like Andou-kun reads stories aimed at girls, isn't that embarrassing? 」
「Embarrassing? 」
「Andou-kun seems unashamed though... Look, isn't it awkward to read these kinds of light novels at school?  It's a different matter if it's just normal light novel, but among the books Andou-kun reads at school there are also those light novels which are definitely aimed at girls based from the cover, with shoujo manga style illustrations inside of it too, right? I mean, it's embarrassing being seen by other people while reading that kind of stuff... isn't it? 」
 
I've been curious about that even from way back then... Rather, that's the reason why I'm interested in Andou-kun in the first place. I'm too embarrassed to admit that I'm a light novel otaku so at school I'm hiding my hobby of reading light novels. But the first time I saw Andou-kun, he was boldly reading a light novel with the title 『Little Sister Will Marry Big Brother!』* in a transparent vinyl cover in class alone.
 
At that moment, looking at him like that shocked me, as if I was struck by thunder 『Eh, if you're putting a cover on it why are you not hiding the illustration!? 』『Rather, isn't that embarrassing? 』 and so on. That's why I wanted to know why he could boldly read light novels in class like that. (Asakura)
 
Even though Asakura-san's question seems like a mockery... Most likely, she didn't mean it that way.  I know that by looking at her eyes. The way she looks at me when I'm reading light novels for girls is not the sneering glare used by rotten normies. Instead... She looks like she's envious of me who reads it.
So I have to answer this earnestly. (Andou)
 
「No.  I don��t think it's embarrassing at all. 」
「...」
 
I've said it clearly. (Andou)
 
「Why is it like that? 」
「For example――Asakura-san reads 『Hachinan Tensei』* right? Was that interesting? 」
「Y-yes.」
「Then, if a stranger said 『Hachinan Tensei is so lame-』, how would you feel? 」
「Beat them to death. 」
「...…」
 
Even though I asked 『How would you feel?』, she answered from the question of 『what will you do』. As expected of a gremlin. (Andou)
 
「Ahaha... But I'm also the same.」
「Eh.」
「If a stranger is laughing at my favorite light novel, I think I will go 『Don't fuck with meee! 』 I mean, those guys don't know how interesting that light novel is, right? I like light novels. Therefore, I think the authors who wrote light novels are 『Awesome』and I never thought reading it is 『Embarrassing』. 」
「...」
 
「After all, the one who knows how interesting that light novel is, is us who read it, so if we thought that it's 『Embarrassing』 then that means we're being rude to the author, right? So I'm reading light novels boldly. Resolutely conveying 『The light novels I'm reading are very interesting, you know! It's not something to be ashamed of! 』like that. 」
「... I see, you're right. 」
 
I wonder how embarrassing I must be. It's just like what Andou-kun said. Up until now, for the sake of protecting my own pride, I've been hiding that I like light novels.  As a result of prioritizing such a small pride, I never admitted to Andou-kun that I liked light novels. However, I chose to be ignorant of it and instead indulged in selfishness by thinking things like 『Why is he not noticing me? 』 or 『Talk to me! 』... (Asakura)
 
「Ah! Of course, this is only for my own self-satisfaction, it's not like I'm denying people who hides that they like light novels! After all, we have different circumstances, such as status and how much we attract people's attention... You see, because I'm a 『loner』, what people think about me isn't that important.」
「Andou-kun, it's fine. 」
「Eh...? 」
「I've decided.  I won't hide it anymore... I will confess my real feelings only with you. 」
「A, Asakura... san」
 
Right, I will say it clearly to Andou-kun that 『I like light novels.』 So I can be in the same position as him... Properly straighten up and confidently say 『I like light novels! 』
It's fine... I can say it. I've been practicing this line every night before sleeping because I'm sure I have to say it in the future... 『I really like light novels, as much as Andou-kun!』 Excellent. (Asakura)
 
「Andou-kun.」
「Ah, yes.」
 
A-alright! S-s-s-s-say it... 『I really like light novels, as much as Andou-kun!』『I  really like light novels, as much as Andou-kun!』『I really like light novels, as much as Andou-kun!』 (Asakura)
What is this! Suddenly it's turning into something dramatic, what will she say to me!? (Andou)
 
 
「I really like Andou-kun! 」
「...Eh?」
「...Nn?」
 
Huh, just now... What was that? (Asakura & Andou)
