Chapter 34: Moving Forward

The Lightning Strike Library mainly publishes the works of the award-winning writers of the [Lightning Strike Novel Award] and writers who have come from fiction.

The "Lightning Strike Novel Award" is a novel award sponsored by the Japanese publishing house [ASCII-Media-Works], and it is the largest light novel series in Japan

People Award.

As the largest light novel newcomer award, it also has the largest number of contributors and the highest difficulty.

If you can win an award in the [Lightning Strike Novel Award], even if it is a gold reward next to the grand prize......

No, even the Silver Prize, which is inferior to the Gold Prize, will be able to get the opportunity to be published in the Lightning Strike Library and become famous.

Of course, it's not that light fiction writers who don't win awards don't get the chance to get published.

If the work is approved by the review committee, it will still be able to get the opportunity to be published, but ......

Writers who publish in this way will always be more likely to win awards than other writers who have won awards

The author of the item is inferior.

If you can win any of the awards of the [Lightning Strike Novel Award], you will attract the attention of many readers.

The road to becoming a light novel writer will also be much easier.

After summarizing Tanaka's message from [SNS], Kazeta Takasaka suddenly became excited.

"I'm decided! I'm going to be a pirate......"

"No, no, no, no, it's not like that, right?"

Shaking his head at a very high frequency, Kazeta Takasaka drove out the strange thoughts in his mind.

"I should say, at least I have to win an award, right?"

Wanting to compete, he muttered, "...... I feel a little arrogant, and according to Tanaka, it is very difficult for the [Lightning Strike Novel Award] to win the award

Ah......h

Kazuta Takasaka, who was blushing somewhat, got up from his chair and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

After taking the barley tea out of the kitchen fridge, he poured it down in one go.

The cold sensation went through his throat and straight to his stomach, which made his brain clear a lot in an instant.

It was eleven o'clock at midnight on Saturday.

After the call back, he stayed in front of the computer to revise his article.

The number of words is not much, no more than three thousand words.

Also because of this relationship, he doesn't spend much time.

Not more than an hour.

The reason why there are not many words is because when Kazeta Takasaka made up his mind to create it, it was on the night of September 14th.

And now, it's the night of September 15th.

Not much time has passed for him to create.

On the night of September 14th, after a short hesitation, Kazeta Takasaka, who made up his mind to create his own light novel, started at six o'clock in the evening, and has been

By ten o'clock in the evening, he was in a state of creation.

At ten o'clock, he tried to send Tanaka the light novel "Even the Gods Want to Go to School", which he had revised himself.

After receiving Tanaka's criticism and advice, he was a little depressed and walked out of the door of the apartment because he was thirsty and walked in the direction of the vending machine.

Just now, with Tanaka's help, he finally completed this extremely difficult and complicated project.

Although yesterday, Kazuta Takasaka had the idea of thanking Tanaka today.

But Feng Tai, who couldn't get out because of various things, could only thank her on the phone just now.

Material aspects......

It's impossible for the current wind too.

"I'm done with barley tea again......"

Scratching his head helplessly, Feng Tai said to himself: "Obviously ...... on the night of September 13th"

"I was comforted by my father, ah no, it should be said that after encouragement, I felt a lot more relaxed physically and mentally, so I went to the supermarket near the apartment to buy ......"

"Yesterday, September 14th, after receiving the cookies from Qinfu, I immediately went to the supermarket and did my best

I grabbed half-price eggs, which are my protein essentials......"

I'm going to go to the supermarket tomorrow to buy barley tea......

He grabbed his hair in distress.

I've been running in the direction of the supermarket lately, so why do you think my evolution direction is gradually shifting towards that of a housewife......

…… Never mind.

Sitting back in his chair, Futa typed Tanaka's question about the Lightning Strike Novel Award into Tanaka's chat box on SNS.

And Tanaka, as the editor of the Lightning Strike Library, is undoubtedly well aware of this kind of thing.

She's the best person to ask about this kind of thing.

The reason why I chose to communicate on [SNS] instead of phone calls is because Kazeta thinks that using the chat box of [SNS] can record Tanaka's opinions.

Even if you can't understand it for a while, the content will be saved on it, so you don't have to make repeated phone calls to ask.

"Tanaka?"

"(/≥▽≤/) is there. ”

Behind the cute expression, with Tanaka's response to Fengtai.

Because she has had a lot of chats with Tanaka on [SNS], Kazeta knows that she likes to bring facial expressions in online chats, and she doesn't feel it

Surprised and strange.

Of course, Tanaka is not the only female high school student in Japan who likes to use facial expressions in chats.

"If I want to submit an entry to the contest, what is the minimum number of words?"

For some reason, Tanaka's reply was much slower than before.

Seems to be hesitating something......

After a while, Feng Tai received her reply: "Your words, at least 200,000 words can be submitted." ”

"And what about the time of submission?"

“…… It's not that you have a date to contribute, too. ”

"Instead, we collect all the manuscripts received this year, and at the end of the selection, this period of time is counted as a competition. ”

"And when does this year's selection end?"

"This is inside news╮(╯▽╰)╭"

"Can't you reveal it?"

“…… Ends on November 14th. ”

When Kazeta Takasaka, who was a little moved in her heart, was about to thank Tanaka, she sent another message, as if she didn't give him a chance to apologize.

"There are two ...... ways to submit"

"One is manuscript mail, and the other is e-mail. ”

"Well, got it......"

…… 200,000 words.

Forget it, homework isn't hard for me, as long as I take out the time I spend playing games......

After two months, 200,000 words can be driven out, right?

Just as he was counting the time, Tanaka interrupted his thoughts with a message.

"By the way, Futa, have you found the right person for the illustrator?"

……
