Chapter 211: Date Day (3)
If you want to measure the level of the current popular writer Kasumigaoka Shiyu, this venue in Waai City is not too big, or in a sense, this venue is really a little pitiful.
However, when it was put on the Kasumigaoka Shiyu who had just debuted at the time, this venue was a little too big, whether it was Shiyu or Kazuya, they all remembered the first signing meeting at that time, and there were only three people in the entire venue, including Shiyu, the author, in this embarrassing situation.
Although there were various scattered fans who entered, the signing event on the day was a failure in every sense of the word. Although Shi Yu at that time, he was still immersed in the fighting spirit that he ignited and was not too depressed.
"So, looking back on that situation now, I don't know why I was able to persist in that kind of popularity!" As a small venue, there is a silence in the exhibition hall, which also allows Shiyu and Kazuya to wander around the neighborhood with some freedom without being arrested as suspicious people. Looking at this "place where I first started", Shi Yu said with a look of nostalgia.
"But I have to say, in that case, Shiyu Senpai can still be so supported by Fantastic Library, and sure enough, the Machida editor is really good to you!" Although there is a trace of hostility towards Machida, Kazuya still has to admit that for Shiyu, Machida's editor has always been the biggest help, although I have also heard Shiyu say that if his novel does not make any progress then the editor will cut it in half, but Kazuya also believes that with Machida's means and ability, the possibility of Shiyu's novel being cut in half is almost non-existent.
"Yes, that's really thanks to Machida's editor! After all, she had been helping me find more room for ideas at that time," Shiyu nodded and said, "However, I think more about why I didn't feel a little defeated when I was facing such a harsh situation." ”
"Don't feel like you're failing? What do you mean? Kazuya tilted his head and asked.
"Even though the first signing was not very popular, I didn't lose confidence at all, but I wanted to continue writing! It feels like it has to be proven to someone. ”
"Well, this, I feel that the character of the senior sister must be the character of slapping the face of all those who underestimate you, right?" Looking at Shi Yu's sparkling eyes looking at him, and he didn't know how to respond, although he knew who Shi Yu wanted to say now, but he still looked away and vaguely brought the question over.
Kazuya's reason for giving himself this approach is that "I haven't decided on a choice yet, so if I rashly respond to my good impression of Shiyu Senpai now, there will definitely be a problem", but, what is his real psychology, Kazuya feels that even he is not very clear.
However, Shiyu didn't show any frustrated expression because of Kazuya's reaction, or rather, she just glanced at Kazuya with a more understanding attitude, for Kasumigaoka Shiyu, she has experienced more disappointments than others, and now her mentality is not so impatient.
Therefore, Shi Yu just raised his head somewhat casually after taking a deep look at Kazuya, and continued: "Yes, at least set a goal and opponent, and after that, just keep surpassing!" ”
"Well, but the promotion of Lunye's blog did help a lot at that time! After all, that guy was already a well-known blogger at that time, right? ”
"But I'm very interested in your panicked look at that time, 'I didn't do anything, it's all the credit of Lunye', when other people ask for credit, they will obviously try their best to take credit for themselves, but you have been pushing the work you and others have done together on other people's bodies! Especially in the face of a so-called beautiful girl writer, shouldn't normal people's reactions be to show off their own credit in front of her? Shiyu smiled and continued with the topic that Kazuya had shifted.
"Ahem, this situation is more complicated!"
"Really, your reaction at that time was very damaging to my self-confidence, what you said has nothing to do with yourself, the whole person has been thinking about getting rid of the relationship with me, you know, after the publication of the second volume of the novel, my popularity has increased, even in the editorial department, there are a lot of self-righteous people who feel that they have merit to come to me to pay their respects! Probably because I can't ignore everyone in the editorial department like I did in school, and I need to be polite, so I still let those guys in their twenties who have just joined the company take advantage of it! It's clear that an office romance or something is unacceptable! Shiyu stretched, then gently patted the dusty chair in the venue and said.
Looking at Shi Yu, who looked at all beings with such a contemptuous look, He Ye could only smile bitterly: "I really don't understand what kind of identity you are using to evaluate those people at this time, guys in their twenties or something, you yourself are only 18 years old now, is it really reliable to evaluate older people by being young?" ”
"Yes, this is the so-called social sorrow, young people should always maintain respect for older people, I don't object to the difference between the young and the old, but because of this seniority problem, even the age problem is all kinds of suppression, all kinds of self-righteousness, I really hate it! The most annoying thing is that I have to conform to this ethos in order to achieve my goals. Shi Yu seemed to complain and said, "So I think if I wasn't so lazy, I must correct this atmosphere, the lack of forward momentum in the whole society is because of these old men." ”
"Eh, it seems like I've said something like that somewhere," Kazuya's eyes widened, always feeling that Shiyu's words were a little familiar, "But even if you become the prime minister, or the empress of the emperor, there is no way to change this social situation!" ”
"Eh, can the current royal family marry non-aristocratic commoners?"
"No, the current queen is from a commoner! Sister, where did your common sense go? ”
"No, no, no, from my common sense, although the current queen does not have the title of nobility, she is also a big family! It's still unlikely that a self-made man like me would become a member of the royal family, right? ”
"You have to believe that there will be people who love ACG in the royal family in the future, after all, someone like Taro Aso can become the prime minister!"
"Thanks to the encouragement, I feel that my future is full of hope! Although I am still quite confident in my appearance and acting skills! So if it really doesn't work, I think it's okay for me to pretend that I can't 'bump into' into someone like the prince at some point, and then show a pitiful state of asking for their help, so as to win the favor of the other party, right? ”
"You're deceiving the royal family, if you find out that your princess is an otaku girl obsessed with ACG, then what will happen to the face of the whole country, although I think it's okay for Neon to be considered an ACG country, but I always feel that the political fools above don't want this kind of thing!"
"Well, isn't that the same situation as Diana and Charles on the British side, the princess has always been incompatible with the royal family's personality, more commoner, but on the contrary, she has won the love of all kinds of people, as such a tragedy, it feels like a more challenging task!"
"So don't always base yourself on such a bizarre fantasy, in addition, Diana is loved by the vast majority of the British people, if the neon princess is a strange housemaid squatting at home, then in addition to the dead house will be applauded, the backbone of society will only be worried about the future of the country!"
"So what does Kazuya-kun mean is that I still need to create an image of a princess who is more in line with the perception of the middle class? It's a bit of a problem, and I don't feel like I'm so motivated. ”
"No, that's not right! Why do we have to seriously study the nonsensical topic of whether it is possible for Senior Sister Shiyu to marry into the royal family, this question is too biased, right? Also, can we call this the material of a novel, and if it is a novel, has the current social atmosphere been open to the extent that we can easily make fun of the emperor? ”
"It doesn't seem like that," Shi Yu nodded solemnly and said, "So, in order to avoid a certain woman's unrealistic fantasy of marrying into the royal family, you will marry me first, right?" ”
"Why did you suddenly turn to the fact that I married you, and what the hell is going to be, this sentence makes your identity very cheap, senior sister!"
"Well, then the daughters of the two of us can marry into the royal family, provided that Kazuya-kun inherits the family business and goes to politics, if it is politics, then you can mix a good social status and noble titles or something, right?"
"Why has my life already been decided! And the marriage between a political family and the royal family is a more taboo thing than a marriage between a merchant and the royal family. In addition, if I had a daughter, I would never let her marry into the royal family, so many etiquette and constraints, I don't want her to be bound by these things for the rest of her life! ”
"Well, then there's no way, among the other boys of the same age I know, there may not be anyone with a higher social status than Kazu-kun's family, or I've heard a lot of them, but the relationship with them is not good enough to talk about marriage directly."
"Is my relationship that much better? And why do you feel like all your actions are combined to make yourself a member of the royal family, and give me back that Shiyu Senpai from before! ”
Although he knew that Shi Yu was joking in a very normal way now, Kazuya still couldn't help but complain about Shi Yu's every word. It can be said that both Shiyu and Kazuya enjoy this feeling very much, this is a long-lost feeling between the two of them who can joke unscrupulously and ridicule each other.
For Kazuya, when he was a little sensitive to Shiyu's possible feelings for himself, he habitually avoided Shiyu's ridicule, and Shiyu, at the same time, cut down the number of "teasing" with Kazuya, and of course, there was also a lack of these dialogues that seemed to be talking nonsense in a serious manner.
So, although I knew that the two of them were complaining meaninglessly, both of them enjoyed it, and of course, both of them sensitively avoided the issue of the "time limit" of today's date.
However, time must still be paid attention to, especially when Shiyu's mobile phone rang a little abruptly at 9:30, which also made Kazuya realize that although Shiyu was creating a relaxed atmosphere, she still took this "date" itself very seriously.
"Time flies! So for the next half hour, we're walking back, right? Try to use a calm tone, Shiyu said to Kazuya.
"I don't need to, the time with Kato is 12 o'clock, and it takes an hour to go back by train, which means that I only need to get on the train around 11 o'clock, even if it's over at 10 o'clock, it's too late to go back!" Although I can feel that Shiyu's proposal was made with courage, although I feel that Shiyu's proposal is also more correct in various senses from the heart, but what Kazuya said is a little different from the real judgment in his heart.
"Well, since Kazuya-kun said so, I will be more happy to accept this half an hour!" Blinked, it seemed that he was a little surprised by Kazuya's proposal, but Shiyu quickly adjusted his mood and agreed to Kazuya's words, "So, if it's only half an hour, Kazuya Aragaki, this last half hour is up to you, right?" After all, the guy who will take the initiative to make a dating route is the more intimate guy and will be liked by the girl! ”
"Eh, that's not the same as it was said at the beginning, right?"
"Well, this is also a place to test your impromptu performance, right? And yes-kun, you have to come on! ”
"That said, but it's still very difficult for me to find this kind of place right away, right?"
"That's what you're capable of!"

Isn't it nondescript to insert these daily complaining dialogues at this time, but it feels easier to write?
