At this moment. .
In Tokyo, the cool summer breeze blows through the gradually hot city.
A small dark room on the second floor of the luxurious villa of the Yamada family.
Outside the window.
The green leaves sway and rustle.
But the two brothers and sisters in the room ignored it. They were also concerned about the final ranking of the essays.
Unlike the "Firefly Forest" which was far ahead of the others, the difference in votes for the rankings of others was not big.
It can be said that it was very anxious.
Even in the few minutes before the finalization, the rankings were still changing!
Especially in the ranking of Yamada Fairy’s works.
It was particularly obvious.
The ranking of her works alternated between fourth and fifth place.
As the time for the finalization entered the countdown.
Yamada Fairy was already unable to look directly at the final result.
So she went back to the sofa in the back rest area under the pretext of drinking water.
The girl picked up the electronic alarm clock on the table next to her.
After taking a look at the ticking seconds.
She tightly grasped the alarm clock, closed her eyes, and almost held her breath.
She counted down silently in her heart.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
Ten, nine…
Five, four…
One!
As the electronic alarm clock in her hand sounded, "Ding Ding Ding…", the scheduled alarm rang.
Yamada Fairy suddenly opened her eyes!
She stood up and turned off the alarm.
She asked nervously:
"Chris, how is the performance of my work…"
Chris was paying attention to the final list.
He looked down from top to bottom!
Looking at the results of the final list, I was very pleased:
"Emily, congratulations, you did well this time!"
Yamada Fairy ran to Chris with her skirt lifted up and read it one by one!
First place:
"Firefly Forest".
Votes: 451,200.
Second place:
"Love Song Under Fireworks".
Votes: 215,100.
Third place:
"My Academic Girlfriend Has Communication Disorder".
Votes: 186,400.
Fourth place:
"Sweet Bonds in the Fairy Forest".
Votes: 158,400.
Seeing the fourth place work!
Yamada Fairy’s eyes flashed with joy!
"I’m fourth!"
She was fifth before, but after a long struggle.
Finally at the last moment!
With a slight lead!
Reached fourth place!
Although the number of votes was only 15.84, only about one-third of the first place "Firefly Forest"!
But 167 is her first time writing a short story.
She doesn’t need to compete with the top three, her only goal is Ikaros!!!
“Hehe~~”
She still has it in her little notebook.
The evil editor-in-chief of Kagurazaka didn’t give her the quota at that time!
Instead, he gave it to Ikaros.
“Hehehe.”
Yamada Fairy folded her arms and laughed, “Now you know that giving the quota to me is the best thing for Dengeki Bunko!”
“I’m the fourth place!!!”
She was so happy!
Took out her cell phone and was about to send a message to Kagurazaka.
“Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don’t bully a poor girl!”
“Screenshot of the results.JPG!”
“…….”
Sent the message to Kagurazaka.
The fairy felt refreshed in her body and spirit.
She became slightly curious again, "What is the ranking of that male high school writer…"
According to her brother Chris’s guess.
There are two professional writers outside the top ten.
One of them is from the Extreme Library and ranks sixteenth, and the other is slightly higher, ranking twelfth.
And the author of the twelfth place!
It is very likely to be Icarus, because the style of his work is very similar to "Four Lies".
Thinking of Icarus.
After all, he is a newcomer who has just come into contact with short stories, so many readers don’t blame this work too much.
If his ranking is really not optimistic, should I call her to comfort her?
If I call her to comfort him, she will definitely be grateful to me and become her servant (fan) obediently.
The blonde girl thought proudly in her heart, and then asked, "Hey, Chris, have you seen the ranking of the boys’ high school?"
Yamada Chris shook his head:
"Emily, the ranking has just been determined. The details will be announced by Hakusen Society in two minutes."
"Okay, then I will wait a little longer…"
"…"
At noon.
Private Fengzhiqi Academy, rooftop terrace.
There are two girls around the bench.
The one standing.
The beautiful twin ponytails and blonde hair shine in the sunlight.
The beautiful face is like a calm lake, the skin is as white as jade, and under the warm sun, it is as light as porcelain.
It is a standard top-level beautiful girl embryo.
"Hey, Dark Girl, how did you know I like to read Icarus’ novels?"
Eri looked a little arrogant, her cheeks flushed.
Sawamura Spencer Eriri.
Japanese-British mixed blood.
Gives her an extremely beautiful appearance.
And the black man who was sitting on the bench with his legs crossed and reading a book, whom she was staring at,
Compared with her appearance, Eriri was not to be outdone.
Her slightly raised neck was as beautiful and proud as a swan.
While turning the pages, her slender hands inadvertently pulled up a few strands of hair scattered around her ears——
Her hair was black and long, very smooth, which made her young and delicate skin comparable to the finest white porcelain, without a single flaw.
And her figure was very well proportioned.
When she sat upright on the chair, she could clearly see the winding, soft, round and smooth curves of her body.
What’s more rare is that she also has a quiet and elegant temperament, which is lustful but not gorgeous, and inadvertently reveals a kind of detachment and elegance away from the hustle and bustle.
She didn’t look up at Eriri.
The eyes were still on the book in his hand, and his voice was gentle but powerful: "It’s not polite to give someone a nickname casually, sloppy girl classmate."
"Damn it, you damn Kasumigaoka Utaha! Who, who is a sloppy girl!!! Who would dress up carefully when rushing to finish a manuscript at home!!!"
"Well, let me correct it again, calling someone by their full name casually is not a polite behavior, Sawamura Spencer Eriri."
Eriri’s forehead was bulging with blue veins: "……"
Ignoring the girl’s anger.
Kasumigaoka Utaha chewed a mouthful of red bean bread slowly, and then slowly said:
"Well, it’s nothing, it’s just that during the days when "Four Lies" was released, I saw you wearing a hat and a mask and running around many bookstores."
"Plus, people around Instagram can easily see your crazy thoughts."
"You really, why didn’t you tell me about this before, why did you hide it from me?" Seeing the other party say this, Eriri was a little less angry.
Kasumigaoka Utaha is one of her few friends!
Always able to accurately control her temperature.
Whenever her anger reached 99%, the other party would cool her down with a few words.
At that time, she finally bought "Four Lies"!
She did use a small account to post several IGs.
But since Kasumigaoka Utaha could tell it was her, it would be difficult if other people in Toyosaki also saw it.
If your character collapses, you will die. Who says social death is not death? (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
"Aren’t you tired?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t like the woman being so powerful and repeatedly questioning her.
She had to take the initiative.
"……"
It seemed that Eriri was indeed touched by her words.
She wanted to be angry but was powerless like a deflated ball.
Eriri had to turn her beautiful face to the other side.
"Of course you have to do this if you want to socialize. Do I have to be as dark as you and have no friends at all…"
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t say anything.
Remembering that the other party didn’t have no friends, Eriri said again:
"YesWhat about your friend? He didn’t reply to your letter, didn’t come to meet you, and didn’t send you any commemorative edition books as agreed. Maybe he has already smiled back and forgotten you? "
Kasumigaoka Utaha closed the book, raised her head and stared coldly at Eriri.
There was such a moment.
Eriri was really frightened by Kasumigaoka Utaha’s eyes.
But the other party’s sharp eyes only lasted less than two seconds, and finally fell sadly.
"He did reply, but not often."
"If he doesn’t look for me, I can read books. Anyway, I used to be like this, alone. ”
Accompanied by the early summer breeze, the black-haired girl, with her hair and skirt fluttering in the wind, opened the book in her slender hands and read it lonely.
Looking at her friend, so lonely and desolate.
Eri stretched out her hand, wanting to say something but stopping herself.[]
She was a little embarrassed.
She felt that she had indeed gone too far this time.
But she did think it was fake…
They had little contact and met rarely, but they actually said that they could give her a signed commemorative edition of the first edition of "Four Lies" published by the publisher.
Everyone knows that there is only one copy of this novel, in the hands of the author himself.
They believed such a fake lie…
I can only say that the girl in love is miserable, Eriri sighed.
However, this was also the first time she noticed that Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was always so majestic in front of her, In fact, she is quite weak and pitiful.
I suddenly felt a little guilty.
In fact, the other party often bullies her, but he really helps her when something happens, which is why she is always willing to be bullied by the other party…
No, that’s not right! Who is willing to be bullied by her!!!
——I just let her go because she has no friends!
Yes, that’s it.
Thinking about it, Eriri used her own coins to buy a can of coffee and a can of Suntory Oolong tea from the vending machine next to her.
The coffee is for Kasumigaoka Utaha.
The other party once told her——
The bitterness and aroma of coffee can bring people a unique taste experience and refreshing effect, which can make her more focused and creative during the writing process.
So she likes to drink coffee.
Eri handed the coffee to the other party.
"Here you go."
The other party did not refuse, "Thank you. ”
Eri leaned back on the side chair and drank Suntory Oolong tea with a straw.
It’s different from Kasumigaoka Utaha’s love of coffee.
She didn’t really like Suntory Oolong tea, and she didn’t even know what she liked, just because this Suntory Oolong tea was second only to Calpis in popularity among girls.
She didn’t like Calpis, which tasted a bit sticky.
But she remembered that Kasumigaoka Utaha liked to drink coffee, which was really funny.
“The Firefly Forest is really IkaroIs this the work of Mr. Ikaros? Why is it so ugly? I can’t draw a dirty picture after seeing it. ”
“Looking at the style, don’t you think the twelfth one looks more like Mr. Ikaros? ”
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn’t say anything, she didn’t like to talk nonsense.
Eri didn’t believe in evil.
She always felt that Ikaros’s style would be sweeter.
She suddenly remembered.
It seemed that at 12 noon today, it was the day to announce the list.
She took out her mobile phone immediately and quickly logged into the website of Hakusensha.
Coincidentally, when she logged on to the website.
It happened to be the list of authors in the professional group of Hakusensha.
Eri immediately clicked in.
Like many readers, as well as other professional group and ordinary group authors, she first went to see who the author of “Firefly Forest” was.
She felt that the work ranked 12th was more like the work of Ikaros.
And considering that it was the first time for Ikaros to participate in the short and medium-length essay contest, the 12th place was definitely not a low score.
Conclusion Fruit!
Seeing the names of the writers in the professional group, Eriri was like many other authors, editors, anchors, and interested readers.
She was stunned!
Because the author of the first place "Firefly Forest" is really a name that 99% of people did not guess in advance.
At most, some people guessed that he was the third place.
"It’s really Ikaros teacher, it’s Ikaros teacher…"
Eriri was a little dumbfounded.
She found that there seemed to be another paragraph after the ranking of the grand prize.
It seemed to be a speech of acceptance.
Eriri subconsciously clicked in to see what Ikaros teacher wanted to say.
But after reading a paragraph.
Eriri’s smile suddenly froze, and her face was more angry than disappointed or frustrated.
"Is this speech true? It’s really not nonsense! ”
“…… Um…… Hmm……”
“Ahhh, damn Kasumigaoka! Shi! Yu! Damn Ikaros!! You two are really too cunning!”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu also noticed that Eriri looked a little bit.
Somewhat inexplicable.
She didn’t know why Eriri was in such a state.
Eriri glared at the inexplicable Kasumigaoka Shiyu, as if she had made up her mind to be an enemy until death.
She handed the phone to Kasumigaoka Shiyu and sneered:
“Why didn’t you tell me? You think I’m a clown, right?” As she said that, Eriri’s eyes fell involuntarily.
“Damn, I can’t win at all.”
“What kind of words is this, Teacher Ikaros? This is a love letter! A super disgusting, super disgusting love letter! "
"……"
Hearing Eriri’s words.
Kasumigaoka Utaha’s heartbeat slowed down a little, and she reached out to take the phone.
It was indeed Takagawa Saku’s acceptance speech.
She read it sentence by sentence.
But at first it felt normal, just some clichés.
But as she read on.
Kasumigaoka Utaha’s cheeks flushed a little.
Reading to the end.
The girl completely let go of the book, and her face suddenly turned red to her ears.
She wanted to cover her face.
Takagawa Saku’s acceptance speech was what? Why did he mention her? This is too embarrassing!
The girl suddenly lowered her head while holding the phone, revealing the back of her neck, and she could see her red back.
Seeing this, Eriri was immediately furious! ! !
She shook Kasumigaoka Utaha who was sitting on the bench.
"Xia! Zhi! Qiu! Shi! Yu! Don’t hide!!"
"So that Gaochuan is Mr. Ikaros, right? Why didn’t you tell me before?"
"Damn it!"
"That means the first edition of the "Four Lies" you mentioned is not a lie, but a super super super genuine copy from the author himself. He even said in his speech that he wanted to give it to you in person to express his inner gratitude!"
"What else can I say? Thanks to your support behind the scenes. Only with support from you, can he create "Firefly Forest" and ask people to support your debut work to be released tomorrow! … It’s so annoying, it’s just like the lovers in the new drama! "
"… Tell me, tell me, you and Ikaros teacher, no, Takagawa! When did you and Takagawa know each other!"
"Why don’t I know? Tell me, are we still friends? ! ! "
Eri shook the blushing girl sitting on the bench on the rooftop.
"……"
(At this time, Takagawa Saku was confused and collapsed: Of course it was support from behind. Before his first payment, he couldn’t do anything without Kasumi Shiko’s computer. Isn’t this support from behind? How can you understand it as wanting to make the same thing as her miso soup! As for promoting Kasumi Shiko’s debut to be released tomorrow, isn’t that just a coincidence? How can it be a husband-and-wife novel? ? ?)
