Chapter 42: Defects

PS1: Okay...... I was so naΓ―ve to think that I would be able to write the teacher's length in half a chapter, but this type probably won't appear too much...... Seems like I said the same thing yesterday.

……

Of course, this is not that Tanaka is dissatisfied with his review or recommendations.

It's just driven by the idea that two people can see that there may be more shortcomings than one person.

"No, Kamaike-sensei is a good writer. ”

Such a succinct reply to Kazeta Takasaka, who was a little entangled in his heart, Tanaka sighed softly.

…… Feng Tai, this guy is really stupid.

"But ......"

Even if he didn't put his concerns into words, Kazeta still believed that Tanaka, who was a good friend, could understand what he meant.

"So no!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All right. ”

Tanaka seems to be angry......

As he thought so, he sighed.

Without deliberately bringing up the topic just now, Feng Tai asked again, "When?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"And where?"

"At Shinjuku Station near your apartment, right?"

After agreeing on the time and place with Tanaka in words, Takasaka Kazeta hesitated for a moment before pushing away the chair in front of his desk and getting up.

…… The sloppy appearance will leave a bad impression on the teacher.

Sighing at his actions in the bottom of his heart, Kazeta Takasaka, who looked a little hesitant, glanced up at the clock.

……

The wind of the autumn night always carries a clear coolness, mixed with the sound of whirring, unscrupulously invading the human beings on the street.

It's seven o'clock in the evening.

It had been four full hours since three o'clock when I went to Kamaike-sensei's house.

"Be careful on the road. ”

After waving goodbye to Tanaka, who was still on the train, Kazeta, who was full of inexplicable emotions in his heart, took a step and walked straight in the direction of the apartment.

In my mind, Mr. Kamaike's words and appearance are still coming to mind.

"Tanaka has already shown me the contents of your work. When he said this, he was a little like a physical education teacher, and he had a smile on his face that made people feel good at a glance: "However, I think there is a fatal shortcoming, ah, it's not fatal, and this shortcoming is just my personal opinion." ”

…… In other words, can I change it if I want to?

"In my opinion, if you can overcome this shortcoming, you may be able to get a good result in the [Lightning Strike Novel Award]. ”

"Teacher, the wind is too ......"

Pulling the corner of Tanaka's clothes, who wanted to ask questions for him, Kazeta Takasaka stood up and bowed slightly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What is it, please?"

Japan is a country that values seniority, and if you are polite in front of your elders, you will undoubtedly gain a lot of favor.

Kamaike glanced at Kazeta in some surprise, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Takasaka." ”

He paused deliberately, giving the wind enough time to react.

"The content, the style and style of your work are all comfortable. ”

"In my opinion, it's a good work, although it's probably early to define it now. ”

…… Isn't it not bad?

The wind that was growing up with joy in his heart didn't speak, just quietly waiting for Kamaike-sensei's next words.

"But ......"

Kamaike Hema deliberately watched the change in Kazeta's facial expression, and only after finding that there was no change did he continue, "Innovation. ”

Two simple words, but they made Fengtai's heart beat faster.

"I noticed that there was a lack of innovation in your work. ”

"The world view, the ability of the protagonist Ichinokura Teru, his character, and the plot are very common. ”

He glanced at Feng Tai, hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Especially ability, I used to see almost the same ...... in a certain work."

Feng Tai's expression froze, and in his heart, the happy mood was replaced by embarrassment in an instant.

He opened his mouth to say something, but found that his frozen tongue could not make a sound.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

As if seeing Feng Tai's embarrassment, he gently patted Feng Tai's shoulder: "This is also very common, you don't have to pay too much attention to it." ”

"So, let's get back to business. ”

And these things will greatly reduce the charm of the characters and the appeal of the story. ”

He coughed: "I think that if you can be more innovative, that is, give full play to your imagination, without relying on other people's ideas, I think you can at least win the silver medal of the [Lightning Strike Novel Award]." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed for some reason: "I envy you." ”

"I haven't even debuted to have such a writing. ”

"Ah, yes. β€œ

He seemed to suddenly remember something: "Can you tell me that you and Tanaka ......"

"Teacher!"

Tanaka, the only woman in the room, flicked her ponytail and blushed to interrupt Kamaiike's next words.

He glanced at Tanaka, who interrupted her, and sighed slightly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Never mind. ”

Feng Tai was stunned, and glanced at Tanaka, who seemed to be hiding something from him, without a trace.

…… It's weird.

"But I really envy you, Takasaka. ”

Shaking his head to shake out unnecessary thoughts, Kazeta Takasaka put his thoughts back in front of him.

"Because I've written this type of work before......"

"I see. He nodded knowingly: "Is it the beginning of the past few years?"

"No, there were ...... earlier" Feng Tai scratched the back of his head: "But I have also written it in the past few years, although there are not many of them, and they have not been recognized." ”

"That's a shame, it's about the same as I used to be. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Almost?"

"I'm pretty much the same as you in terms of not getting recognized. ”

He didn't care about talking to Feng Tai about the previous topic: "But I'm because of the writing problem." ”

"Writing?"

"Hmm. ”

Nodding calmly, he didn't find it difficult to say.

…… Mr. Kamaike,When I first debuted, I didn't worry about writing.。

So, it's normal for me to be troubled by innovation, right?

"It's almost time, do you want to stay for dinner?"

Saying this to Kazeta, Kamaike pointed to the clock in the room.

There was no deliberate delay, Feng Tai nodded directly.

"Then trouble the teacher, I still have a lot of questions to ask - please ask the teacher. ”

"Takasaka ......"

Kamaike raised his head and stared carefully at Fengtai with a serious expression for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Don't be so polite, Takasaka." ”

"If you have any questions about light novels in the future, feel free to ask me. ”

"Ah, by the way, what's your number?"

He took out his phone and said to Feng Tai, who was a little stunned.

…… Teacher, what a warm and nice person.
