With mixed emotions, Yu Murakami waited until the evening and came to the designated restaurant of the ferry voyage - the garden of words.

It's been a long time since he last came here, and the store is still doing regular business most of the time, and the owner is still watching TV on the tatami mat, just like the last time he came.

Hearing the sound at the door, the shopkeeper sat up slightly straighter, turned his head and glanced at it, and when he found out that it was Yu Murakami, he lay down again.

Walking into the private room, Yu Murakami found that the only people who came were Wataru and Fushimi Tsukasa for the time being. The ferry is naturally the way it should be, and Fushimi Tsukasa probably came up later.

Fortunately, before coming to Yanye's Garden, Yu Murakami bought some snacks at the convenience store to fill his stomach, but he didn't have to worry about being hungry when he was waiting for someone.

"Yo, Murakami, how are you doing?" Du Hang is still the same raunchy appearance, but the image has successfully transformed from a cream boy to a middle-aged uncle.

Although this cream boy was self-appointed by him, no one else admitted it.

Yu Murakami sat down and looked at the snacks already on the bar.

For the time being, there is only a plate of edamame.

He slowly pulled out a pair of chopsticks from the tube, unhurriedly picked up a grain of edamame, and chewed it carefully for a while.

Then, he replied, "Good evening, Koyama, Fushimi, I've been doing average lately. ”

A perfunctory answer.

The spirit of the ferry came: "Murakami, didn't I say that I was going to be called to sail!" Also, I said, when did you decide to date Nakano-san? ”

"Okay, I got it. Next time, I will definitely call you to sail. ”

Bland answers, bland diversion of the subject.

It's a pity that Du Hang didn't admit it, and stuck to the next question: "You haven't said it yet, when did you make up your mind to date Nakano-san?" ”

It seems that the scope of this matter is not small, and Wataru knows it as a light novel writer.

Murakami thought secretly in his heart, and replied casually: "Just make up your mind on Tuesday, send a message when you make up your mind, how can it be so troublesome." ”

That's certainly not true, at least not the resolution that was made on Tuesday.

Then Du Hang found another point: "You just talk nonsense, with the way you look this year, can you still make up your mind to send a message so chic?" I think you're stalked! ”

I have to say that as a well-known light novel writer who wrote "Spring Things", Watatsu's observation and perception ability is above most people.

"So, I said I've been doing average lately." Murakami easily closed the mouth of the question, and was not ready to say more.

"Murakami, what do you have to drink today?" In the middle of the conversation between the two, Fushimi stepped in.

Looking at Watana and Fushimi Tsukasa and the wine in Fushimi's hand, Fushimi took the sake and Watanu chose beer.

"I'll just have a drink of beer today, and maybe there will be something going on when I get back in the evening." Thinking that Ai Nakano was going to Sakura Village at night, Yu Murakami decided to be more cautious.

"Good! It's worthy of being the light novel writer who has the best relationship with me! Wataru took a sip of beer and patted Yu Murakami on the back with a smile.

"Oh, I forgot to say, from today onwards, I'm not going to be a light fiction writer for the time being."

"Huh? Why? Didn't you ask us before for the authorization of the name of the light novel? Du Hang was a little confused.

In fact, from time to time, these light novel writers leave behind their identity as writers to try something else, such as becoming an amateur mahjong player, and when they are almost done playing, they will lie that they have finished collecting materials and start writing again.

It's just commonplace.

It's just that Wataru is a little curious, as a rookie light novel writer, Murakami Yu can't always be as skilled as these veterans who have been in a hundred battles, and there are some reasons for that.

"Didn't you just say it yourself? Am I being entangled? ”

"The job of a voice actor? What is the job of the president? Fushimi asked a question.

"No, my novels are based on myself and the people around me, and now I don't know what to do in the future or where else to write a novel." Yusho Murakami repeated what he said to Kagura Saka.

Both Watanu and Fushimi nodded understandingly.

"Say no more, drink!" Or Du Hang spoke.

After drinking for about ten minutes, and after the three of them chatted about some other topics, the rest of the people arrived.

To be honest, Yu Murakami has more headaches for the remaining three.

Lito Kawahara, the author of "Sword Art Online", the sequel to the anime has just selected Ai Nakano as one of the heroines, Alice.

Shuichi Nimaru, the author of "Undefeated Ome", will be animated with Sakura Suzune, Mizurai and Saori Onishi as the three heroines.

The headache is doubled.

Haruba Onion, the author of "The Marriage of Fives", Yu Murakami is very clear about his motivation for creating this work.

The headache is doubled, and the doubled is done.

Sure enough, as soon as the three people who sat down opened their mouths, they were the male protagonists of their respective works.

Of course, congratulations to him on his official relationship with Ai Nakano.

"Murakami, since you have a relationship with Ai Nakano, the dubbing of the new chapter of "Sword Art Online" should be more handy." Kawahara obviously thinks that dating will allow the two to improve their acting skills when they play the male and female leads.

He wore a pair of round glasses, and the thick lenses could not hide the expectant gaze.

"It should be." Yu Murakami chose not to give a definitive answer.

This, of course, caused dissatisfaction with the creators of the other two whose works were about to be animated.

"Murakami-san, I've always felt that your interaction with Sakura-san on the radio is very much in line with the relationship between Maruse Haru and Kochi Shirakusa in "Undefeated Ome", if you and Sakura-san are on the same page, it must be very easy to match."

The author of "Undefeated Ome", Shuichi Nimaru, who was born in '83, also wears a pair of glasses, but the lenses are thinner than Kawahara's.

He probably followed the images of Yu Murakami and Suzune Sakura to create the two characters of Maruse Haru and Kochi Hakusa.

"As for Shida Kuroba, the reason why I chose Mizurai-san was because I vaguely felt that Mizura-san and Sakura-san would cooperate and there would be a very interesting chemical reaction, so I chose her."

At this point, Yu Murakami is probably sure that if Shuichi Nimaru performs in person, he will also be an experiential party.

"Each of them already knows the news, and if Nimaru-san knows the specific time of the audition, he must let us know." Yu Murakami agreed and did not hesitate.

After all, he had already given this matter to Suzune Sakura and Mizurai as a step, and now that he had taken the steps away, there would definitely be trouble.

Neither of them noticed that they had ignored Saori Onishi.

Seeing that everyone else had finished speaking, Haruba Onion finally opened his mouth: "Murakami-san, you know the original intention of my comics......"

He somewhat understood that if he really wanted to achieve the staffing he originally envisioned, Yu Murakami would have to sacrifice no matter what.

As for what the sacrifice was, he didn't know.

Murakami nodded slowly: "I know, but I can't easily agree to this matter." ”

Hearing that Yu Murakami did not refuse, Haruba Shallot breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike Watana or Kawahara who have a close relationship with Yu Murakami, he just created the "five-equal flower dowry" on a whim, and the success rate of asking the other party to dub the anime is not high.

And if you talk about seniority, he is the youngest except for Yu Murakami, and he also has the fewest works.

Not to mention Kawahara Li, who was born in the 70s, even Watana and Fushimi Tsukasa in the 80s are much older than him.

In front of these people, he was just a young man.

Before he could answer another sentence, Fushimi interrupted him: "Murakami-san, are you interested in learning more about 'Eromana-sensei'?" ”

Yu Murakami, who heard the title of the novel, immediately refused very firmly.

He really didn't want to have too much to do with Fushimiji's sister, a professional household, so he just came out occasionally to drink and chat.

Duhang got up, went outside the door and ordered some other snacks with the shopkeeper, and then turned back and poured another beer.

"Speaking of sequels, Murakami." He was halfway through and suddenly stopped.

"I was going to write a novel on a different subject before the end of Spring Things, but now it seems that this matter is going to be put on hold." Wataru seemed to have suddenly made up his mind.

"Another novel?" Once again, Yu Murakami began to try to change the subject.

"That's right, it's called "Girl Number", and I won't talk about the specific content." After a pause, Du Hang pulled the topic back again, "If nothing else, I will finish the "Spring Thing" in the second half of this year." Wait until April next year, or later, in July, and there will probably be a third season of spring things. ”

After all, it's May now, and next year will be April at the earliest, and there are still eleven months in between, so Murakami Yu is somewhat relieved.

He questioned in his heart whether Duhang's mobility would support him in his plan.

After saying this, Du Hang no longer mentions his novels and anime, but instead introduces some interesting anecdotes.

Murakami Yuu is so happy that he interjects two sentences from time to time, so that others can't interject.

With the snacks brought by the owner, the conversation gradually began to ramble.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, Ai Nakano got off the bus at the Yoyogi Gakuin stop.

After finishing her work, she chose the most familiar way to return to Sakuraso.

Walking to the door of Sakuraso, she knocked on the door, and her voice was not loud or small: "I'm Murakami." ”

Gentle and firm.

You Mubi opened the door and saw Ai Nakano.

"Sister Aiyi, you're finally here, we've been waiting for your coffee for a long time!"

Ai Nakano smiled and didn't repeat it again.

She believed the people inside the door had heard.

After entering the door and greeting the other three, Ai Nakano went straight to the kitchen and familiarly found the grinder that she hadn't taken with her last time.

Now that I think about it, I don't know if it was intentional or negligent.

She took out the beans and slowly grinded them.

Nana Higashiyama and Suzune Sakura in the living room were communicating in a whisper, while Risa Taneda crossed her arms without making a sound.

"Suzune, you heard Ai say I'm Murakami."

"I hear you."

Suzune Sakura's mood was a little low.

"Don't worry, Aiyi doesn't want to give up Murakami-kun, and she doesn't want to give up on us, otherwise why would she agree to come back to grind coffee?"

Nana Higashiyama cheered up Suzune Sakura and Risa Taneda, and at the same time cheered herself up.

Risa Taneda picked up the remote control board and turned on the TV, so that there was a background sound in the living room.

Just like they used to do when they didn't care about the script.

About twenty minutes later, Ai Nakano walked out with four cups of coffee on a plate, but there was no sugar or creamer on the plate, only a small glass of iced milk taken from the refrigerator.

Since Yu Murakami and Aii Nakano moved out of Sakuraso, the rest of the people haven't had coffee, so they haven't even replenished these accessories.

Putting down the tray, Ai Nakano smiled and said, "Drink it while it's hot, just pour some milk into it and neutralize it." ”

She pushed the cups in front of everyone one by one.

Suzune Sakura did not hesitate, and drank this cup of coffee with an expressionless face and an awareness of dying.

She didn't like coffee very much, let alone black coffee without any accessories.

Nana Higashiyama added some milk to the coffee, holding the handle of the cup, as if it had been stirred. She made a gesture of savoring it and drank it slowly.

Farming pear yarn is not milked, savor.

You Mubi took a sip, and her face wrinkled in bitterness.

The coffee she usually drinks is bought in the drink machine, and she has never touched it so bitter.

The crowd was silent for a moment in the background of the television.

It was Higashiyama Nana who opened her mouth first: "Aiyi, if I put a price on this cup of coffee, I'll order 500 yen!" ”

She gave a figure that she thought was a lot higher than the actual price.

"I'm the same as Nana!" Suzune Sakura echoed.

"I'll order 400 yen." Risa Taneda put down the cup that was already only a shallow residue and made her own judgment.

"I don't know coffee, so I won't order it." Youmubi wisely chose not to have a price.

Listening to the pricing given by the three of them, Ai Nakano compared the price that Yu Murakami gave herself. No matter how you compare, Yu Murakami's pricing is more than double that of Yu.

Thinking of this, she jokingly accused: "Why is it that after I go back to Sakuraso, I will do hard labor, and I have nothing to do except make coffee?" ”

"Yes! Aiyi, I miss the touch of your body! Miss Sakura's Yuria Brain finally worked once, and she pounced on it and hugged Ai Nakano.

"Let go, Suzune. It's summer, isn't it hot to hold it like this! The petite bodies of the two collided together, and Ai Nakano used force on his hand and found that he couldn't break free.

"Well, that makes sense. Only after taking a shower at night and turning on the air conditioner in the room will you not feel hot. Miss Sakura seemed to be convinced, nodded heavily, and let go of her arms.

Then Yu Mubi took the place of Miss Sakura.

This time, Ai Nakano didn't say anything more.

"Aiyi, I protest! You're treating me differently from Concave Sauce! Miss Sakura said in a loud voice.

"There is no discrimination, it's purely concave sauce hugging me that I'm not hot, and it's too hot for you to hug me." Ai Nakano explained in a serious manner.

It's probably five points true and five points false.

Nana Higashiyama looked at the coffee cup that she hadn't had time to put away, and suddenly burst out laughing.
