Chapter 19

Lying on the bed, Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the ceiling in front of him, feeling a little exhausted. His right hand unconsciously pressed on his forehead, his expression dull.

Originally, according to the plan, he should have gotten up early to write the novel, but after breakfast, he felt that he didn't sleep enough, so he took another nap.

But he couldn't fall asleep.

If this continues, the release date of the third volume of "Summer Reappearance" may be delayed.

In fact, he understood what kind of state he was in.

Yesterday, when he finished reading "Fantasy Demon Sword Legend", the work that showed the creative talent of Senjumura Masaru made him feel a little ashamed, and he was severely hit in his heart. When he was creating, he would think that what he wrote was all garbage, too ugly!

Is this the so-called dimensionality reduction attack of genius on mortals?

After all, if we follow the character setting, the writing skills of Senjumura Masahito, who sold 15 million copies in less than three years, are truly amazing. Of course, if we only consider the interestingness of the plot setting, it is relatively average. "Fantasy Demon Sword Legend" is not as good as his "Summer Reappearance".

If he also has such talent, he can fully display the charm of his previous works, and it would be easy to surpass Senjumura Masahito, enough to be invincible in the world!

Unfortunately, it is only if.

His heart is not so fragile, and he quickly tried to adjust his mentality and withdraw from that unbalanced state.

It is other people's business to write well, which has nothing to do with oneself, and one should not be afraid.

"What's wrong, Onii-chan, you look absent-minded."

At the dinner table, his sister who grew up with him noticed the abnormality of his state and couldn't help but worry.

"Maybe it's because he didn't sleep well."

He touched his nose and lied for the first time.

"Is that so."

Komachi noticed his demeanor and chose to see through it without saying it.

That afternoon, Komachi pulled him and Gokou Ruri together to continue playing games.

Hikigaya Hachiman wanted to refuse, but his sister insisted that she was free anyway and pulled him over.

There was no way, he couldn't resist his lovely sister.

"Hey, Gokou, good afternoon."

Hachiman Hikigaya took the initiative to greet them after not seeing each other for a while.

He thought they had a good relationship, but who knew Gokou Ruri's response was...

"Hikigaya, why do you look so miserable? Just a pair of dead fish eyes has affected your image. In this state..."

Gokou Ruri shook her head when she said this.

He choked immediately.

Anyway, I'm here to play games today, not to quarrel with you!

Hikigaya Hachiman acted as if nothing had happened. Under the arrangement of his sister, the three of them started playing games.

There are many types of FC games. They didn't play many of them last time, so they tried new games today.

It must be said that the game does have a magical healing power. Gradually, he forgot his troubles and immersed himself in the game.

"Hehe..."

Komachi's silver bell-like laughter echoed in the air.

"Hehe."

Gokou Ruri occasionally smiled when she saw Komachi's stupid operation.

This atmosphere is very good.

But the end came in the next moment.

"Hikigaya, let's continue the unfinished battle last time!"

Gokou Ruri's expression was solemn, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes, wanting to pierce him.

"Alas, I can't escape after all."

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed in his heart and accepted the challenge.

"Hikigaya, I have analyzed your operation last time after I went back. If you want to use it again this time, be careful."

Gokou Ruri talked more when he talked about the field he was good at.

The result of the challenge was similar to what Hikigaya Hachiman had expected before. After a few games, he finally lost to the opponent for the first time.

"Finally I beat you once."

A sincere smile appeared on Gokou Ruri's gloomy face.

"Well, you won. Gokou, your gaming talent is quite amazing. I am also a little expert. You beat me after playing more than 20 games. This progress is really fast. You can consider becoming a professional player."

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but praise.

By the way, during the battle, the girl would also say the names of some character's ultimate moves. Could this be the budding of some state?

"I do like games, but forget about being a professional player."

Gokou Ruri thought for a while and then answered.

"Okay, okay, Sister Ruri, your goal has been achieved. You have successfully beaten Onii-chan! Let's change the game... Okay, let's play Squirrel Wars!"

Komachi took the controller from him forcefully and changed to a new game.

"Yeah."

Gokou Ruri nodded and withdrew her eyes from him.

After a while, Gogen Ruri stood up.

"It's getting late. I have to go back."

She nodded to the two of them and turned to leave.

"It's really hard, Liuli-sister. Not only do you have to take care of two younger sisters, but you also have to cook."

Komachi knew the inside story, so she sighed.

"Yes, taking care of younger sisters is indeed a hard job."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked like he felt the same way.

"Komachi has always taken care of herself. Onii-chan can't even take care of herself!"

Komachi looked at him with disdain.

"Komachi, you actually said such a thing. I'm heartbroken."

He covered his chest with a distressed expression.

"I'm kidding! Onii-chan is the person who cares about me the most and understands me the most in this world! Okay."

Komachi put her hands on her hips, snorted, and made a helpless expression.

"Komachi, it's great that you can understand your brother's painstaking efforts. Remember to repay me in the future."

He got the advantage and still acted cute.

"Hehehe."

Komachi was amused by this sentence.

Hikigaya Hachiman also laughed.

After a while, the two sat on the sofa one by one.

"Onii-chan, do you feel better?"

Komachi suddenly said.

"I've always been in a good mood."

He said calmly.

"You're lying."

"No."

"You're a puppy if you're lying!"

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman was silent.

"No matter what, Komachi believes in Onii-chan. Although others write very well, in Komachi's mind, Onii-chan's works are the best!"

Komachi leaned on his shoulder and said gently.

"With Komachi's words, my energy is back."

Hikigaya Hachiman laughed again.

"Of course, it's only in my eyes. In the eyes of others, Onii-chan will never reach the level of Senjumura Masaru in her lifetime."

The younger sister changed the subject maliciously.

"Hey, give me back my feelings!"

He said in feigned anger.

"Hehe, what I just said must have given Komachi a very high score in Onii-chan's heart, right?"

"Zero."

...

Faced with this unsolvable problem, Hikigaya Hachiman finally chose to excuse himself. He admitted that his talent was completely incomparable to that kind of person.

However, as a plagiarist, if he cannot reach the top even by cheating, wouldn't he be unworthy of this opportunity to surpass others?

But at present, it seems that it is not so easy to reach the top of the industry.

After all, in terms of plot setting, although the current industry is not as brilliant as the previous life, it lacks hard power, and no matter how good the story is, it is useless, like a castle in the air, because animation can't be reproduced into a novel one-to-one, and the genres of the two are very different.

So it's better to challenge the game BOSS of the level of Senjumura Zheng after the character level is upgraded.

At present, his first target is still Ms. Yamada.

31 Gokou Ruri wants to debut

Gokou Ruri actually has always had a worry.

That is, the economic situation of Gogen's family is not good, even compared with the Hikigaya family, it is still a little worse, so in order to raise three daughters, Gogen and his wife also work overtime and struggle for the expenses needed for their daughters' future growth.

As the eldest daughter, she grew up in such an environment, which was actually very stressful, because her parents were busy with work, and even if they cared about her, they didn't have enough time to chat with her.

She used to complain about this, but later she gradually understood it, which also led to her gloomy, self-reliant and shy personality.

At an age when she was still naive, Gogen Ruri would occasionally want something, but her parents gave her very little pocket money and could not meet her needs.

She knew that if she asked for it, her parents would definitely give it, but it was too ungrateful.

In order to be thrifty, Gogen Ruri tried to work in some old bookstores.

The salary was not much, but there was nothing she could do. At her age, she could only do this.

At the door of the old bookstore, there were arcade machines, which exposed her to arcade games.

The books in the old bookstore were also very diverse, and from time to time they received works in the genre of light novels. In her spare time, she tried to read light novels and was soon attracted by the wonderful world in the novels. She even forgot to get off work, and the friendly old lady asked her to borrow the light novels to take home.

After moving, a girl named Komachi from the neighbor's house came over because her parents invited her.

The neighbor's child was really shameless. She came over even though she exuded an unapproachable aura. After several times, she was really helpless.

But she was also very grateful for this encounter.

One day, when Komachi came over, she saw the light novels she placed on the table. After knowing her hobby, she planned to lend her more light novels.

The light novels she had read in the old bookstore were all outdated and there were really few of them. She really couldn't resist such temptation and agreed vaguely.

Gradually, while reading light novels, she had a new idea.

Could she write a novel herself?

Her purpose was simple, because the royalties from writing books were much better than her income from working, and if she could make her debut successfully, it would also provide a considerable source of income for her family.
