Chapter 113: I Could Publicize It For You On Twitter

“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.
