Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

Toyonozaki Academy on Monday

After two consecutive days of rain, the weather finally cleared up today.

The rooftop during lunch break,

under the pergola.

A quiet beautiful girl was sitting on the bench, with a white headband on her head, her long black hair like satin was tied.

A dignified and beautiful face, and the snow-white skin of Frost and Sai Xue. A pair of charming dark red eyes are as gorgeous as gems, and they are swallowing a faint swaying light.

The eyebrows are like a distant mountain without being drawn and darkened, and the lips are painted with sand but not dotted.

Under the slender neck of the swan, the sensual and graceful figure was wrapped in a light blue sailor suit, outlining a plump curve.

Look down.

A pair of straight and slender jade legs overlapped up and down, and the pure black dark pantyhose trimmed the lines of the legs even more slender. When the calf swayed gently, one's mind couldn't help but want to be immersed in it.

In the fourth round of "Fantastic" selection, the award-winning work, "Love Metronome", stood out from the more than 1080 works collected.

The real identity of its author, Xia Shizi, is a female high school student who is still in school, whose real name is Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu.

At first, I just had the idea of ​​trying my own abilities. Kasumigaoka Shiyu seriously wrote this work and entered the competition, but I didn't expect to actually win the prize.

The moment I received the notice from the Undead Chuan Bookstore Publishing House, I really felt like a dream.

Ms. Machida, who is an editor, is also a trustworthy person. I will read it carefully, think carefully, and give advice very seriously.

Before the work was published, the other party helped to do a lot of correction guidance, and they all pointed out the direction clearly and clearly.

Because at the beginning, I had absolutely no experience in creating characters, no ability, no good at dealing with others, and of course no experience in love...

So only start from the side as a sample.

And the moment he saw himself through the mirror, Sha Yujia's prototype came into being.

The background of the story is the city of Hehe, where he was born. This city has neither special products nor tourist attractions. It is an outer ring city with only one tram that can go to the capital circle.

It is precisely because this city has no characteristics that Shi Yu chooses the background of his works here.

After all, her works are also love novels without any features, isn't it just right for this city without features?

A girl who is dissatisfied with the ordinary living environment and the unchanging interpersonal relationships, but can't do anything is here.

In this mediocre city, this ordinary girl fell in love, and Shi Yu wanted to write such a story.

Everything from winning the award to commercial publishing came so smoothly that I never thought I would be able to continue writing one day.

Until yesterday--

"Cut in the waist..." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu murmured.

As if denying everything to her, this cruel and cold decision from the new editor-in-chief of the Undead River editorial department was informed by the apologetic Miss Machida.

It seems that because it has been released for more than a month, there is no trend of reprinting. The new editor-in-chief predicted that the first edition of the second volume may be lower than the first volume, so he decided to cut "Love Metronome" in half.

Even if this is the winning work they selected; even if Shi Yu had already handed over the complete plot outline, including the last episode of the fifth episode, to Miss Machida.

But still couldn't stop the decision.

"It doesn't make any sense for a work to be applauded but not popular." - This is what the new editor-in-chief said.

Even Zhen Yu, who was supposed to appear in the second volume, was rejected. Asked by the other party to end it hastily, let the story go to the Happy Ending with "no ups and downs".

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Shiyu couldn't help biting her lips.

I'm really upset, and I don't even know what to do.

Although it is said that Miss Machida encouraged her to write new works, and expressed her willingness to help think of new projects together.

But... what is Sa Yuka going to do?

Living in the world created by Shi Yu, doing things she couldn't do, she was supposed to be shining every day, her avatar.

"There is no other way..."

A small sigh flowed out of the girl's mouth.

A gust of breeze blew past, and in this quiet environment, the door leading to the rooftop suddenly made a sound.

"...Teacher, that work is really great! We will definitely succeed!"

"You've been talking about this all day, don't follow me, don't bother me, and don't call me by that name."

With the voice of the conversation, two teenagers appeared in her eyes one after the other.

The boy walking in front was slender and tall, with cool short black hair, handsome and handsome features, and was walking towards here with an impatient look on his face.

Compared to that, the guy in the back looked very ordinary. He was neither tall nor short, his appearance was ordinary, and he had a pair of big round glasses on his face, and he was following closely behind the former.

"Don't say that, as a mutual fan of "Love Metronome", let's talk more!"

The suddenly mentioned words also attracted Shi Yu's attention, which made her feel a little more distracted.

And the two boys also walked under the pergola at this time, and also noticed her sitting on the bench.

The moment they looked at the boy in front of them, both of them were stunned.

(It's him.)

(is her.)

The scene that happened in the stairwell after school came to mind.

After thinking for a while, Shi Yu nodded slightly in greeting.

Seeing this, the boy opposite also nodded in return, and then sat down on the bench on the other side.

The other boy first glanced at the two of them suspiciously, but after seeing the former sitting down, he also sat next to him and said in a low voice.

"Hey, that's not... um, who is it? Is it your acquaintance? Kato."

"no."

The boy known as Kato shook his head in denial, opened the bento in his hand, and prepared to eat.

"yes."

Hearing what he said, the boy with glasses seems to have lost interest, or that his interests have always been unique, and asked the boy.

"I mean, you actually like Sha Yujia very much, right? If you don't have a real love for the work, you won't be able to paint that level of painting."

"No, just because I'm stronger."

heard here.

(Wait a little longer before leaving.)

Shi Yu retracted her gaze and quietly drank the coffee in her hand.

The conversation between the two boys continued.

"Come again, come again, Kato, you are surprisingly not frank." The boy with glasses looked disbelieving, "Speaking of which, what do you think of Sa Yuka's character?"

Seemingly unable to be entangled, the boy sighed while swallowing the food in his mouth.

"If I said you today... no, can you stop blocking me in the class for at least a week?"

"Uh... I don't need to say that, doesn't that make me look like a perverted stalker?!"

The boy with his eyes looked shocked, and said a little unwillingly: "I know, I will try my best to do it, but at least for now, let's communicate happily."

So the boy nodded in agreement, and then said something like this.

"If you want to say it, Sha Yujia should be the kind of girl who looks small and fresh on the surface, but is actually very black, very competitive, and has a deep obsession."

"But even so, she is brave and decisive at critical moments. She belongs to the type of heroine who is annoying if it is slightly wrong, but she is not the type of heroine."

"This kind of contradiction is unexpectedly charming and very real. The author has a good grasp of this aspect, but..."

Having said that, the boy paused.

"Just what?" the glasses boy asked subconsciously.

The young man pondered and said the second half of the sentence.

"Sha Yujia gave me the feeling that there should be an exact reference object."

slap...

The sound of items falling sounded from the side.
