I don't know if it's because of the dynamic promotion of Tomorrow Smoke and Amamiya Nao T station, the playback volume of "Tonight、World からこの恋が消えても" has finally broken through from double digits to four figures.

But.

The rate of growth is still not ideal.

Maybe it's because of the categorization of pure love, or maybe it's some other reason......

The popularity of the work did not quickly gain a high popularity as the publication of "Light Things".

Hayabusa Kimura took a deep breath and refreshed the page with his mouse.

Plays are increasing at a double-digit rate.

After the "Pure Love" label immediately followed by the title of the work, there is a bright "1".

That represents the number of entries in that category.

“……”

The neon of film and television dramas with the theme of pure love in this world seems to be even more miserable than I thought.

Think about it.

After all, film and television dramas are not fiction literature, and a lot of manpower, material and financial resources have been invested.

Let every rookie director who participates in the competition unit carefully choose the theme of his work.

No surprises......

Hayabusa Kimura clicked on all categories of entries.

The number of works with themes such as [suspense], [reasoning], [workplace] and "fantasy" is the largest.

It's all pretty cautious.

All of them have chosen several of the hottest themes of neon at the moment.

Just when Hayabusa Kimura was casually looking at the newcomer competition unit of the T Station Film Festival.

The phone rings for a while.

It was Ryoichi Kishida who called.

………………………………

"I'm sorry, but I just called the teacher ...... Xiaoyuan now"

On the other end of the phone came Ryoichi Kishida's tired, but excited, voice.

"It doesn't matter at all, but why did Mr. Kishida call suddenly?"

Hayabusa Kimura leaned his head back on the back of his seat, his eyes staring freely at the ceiling above him.

"It's about the latest issue of Light Things...... The request I mentioned last time has been added to the latest issue of "Light Things", ......"

"Huh!" Hayabusa Kimura looked back at him.

"Ah~ I've been busy publishing "Tonight、世界からこの恋が消えても" recently.,So I forgot to tell the teacher of Konoin about it in time...... Won't it be a little late? ”

"No, no, no."

Hayabusa Kimura sat up straight and a smile appeared on his face, "Thank you, Mr. Kishida." ”

"I just hope that Mr. Koin can write better works...... After all, it won't take many issues of "Tonight、世界からこの爱が消えても" to be all published......"

"Definitely."

"Well, that's all we can talk about...... In a while, I will take a picture of the part on the latest issue of "Light Things" and send it to the teacher of Xiaoyuan and send it over......"

"Okay."

“……”

Hang up.

Hayabusa Kimura turned on the time on his phone and suddenly realized that today was the time for the latest issue of "Light Things" to be released.

Wow.

Line received the latest news from Ryoichi Kishida.

He opens Line's chat screen.

The picture is the end of the serialized part of the novel in the latest issue of "Light Things".

Hayaya Kimura put down his phone and moved the mouse.

Open the contestant's backstage and add a line after the introduction of the work.

[The novel of the same name is being serialized in the weekly "Light Things". 】

…………………………………

As if inadvertently, the last shadows of winter faded as the last snow melted on the roadside.

But the wind still blew hard in the streets, as if it was about to tear the thick clothes of pedestrians.

Instead of coming to a full bosom.

Naoto Hiraha tightened his clothes and walked forward numbly.

He broke up......

When the other party proposed to break up, he agreed very calmly.

But, why is there always a heavy sadness surging in his mind now?

It's clear that I'm tired of this ordinary relationship.

Naoto Hirahara's hands in his pockets, feeling depressed like this damn weather.

He couldn't calm down and think.

Jingle bells.

Before he knew it, he had walked into the bookstore that he used to come to in the past.

The heat of the store hit his face, and his gaze gradually returned.

How did I accidentally walk to the bookstore.

Naoto Hihara reached out and grabbed the messy hair on the top of his head.

"Welcome to Tanaka Shoten!"

The clerk's enthusiastic voice made Naoto Hirahara, who wanted to quit, wince.

Wouldn't it be nice to quit the bookstore like this......

Naoto Hirahara sighed inwardly, but still walked towards the bookstore.

His messy thoughts swirled in his head, and he didn't have the heart to look at the books on the shelves.

He just wanted to wander around the store.

Then pretend you didn't find the book you were looking for, and leave here.

Suddenly.

His eyes were drawn to "Light Things" in a prominent position on the bookshelf.

It's the latest issue of "Light Things".

Naoto Hiraha picked up "Light Things" on the bookshelf, and gently flipped the pages with his fingers.

He remembered that last week's "Light Things" serialized a pure love novel.

At that time, on the train, he was fascinated.

Now, though.

Pure love or something......

Sure enough, it's all things that only exist in novels!

How can there be pure love in reality, and even if there is, it will not have anything to do with an ordinary person like him.

This damn age, love ...... I don't know what it should look like.

"Why would anyone believe in such an ethereal thing?"

Naoto Hirahara frustrated the pages.

Although he muttered in his mouth, his hand subconsciously turned the journal to the back.

Well?

Why is that novel missing?

Hirahara blinked blankly, opening the catalog to look for the mouse.

"I actually changed the position......

At the top of the table of contents, he found the pure love section with only one article.

After a moment's hesitation, he turned to the page where the novel was published.

…………………………

[A gust of wind blew, and my hair fluttered with it, and when I reached out to press my hair, I found the sight of my boyfriend's husband.]

By the time I found out, he had already said that.

"Can I like You?"

I slowly turned my head to look at him, and Toru Kamiya-san looked at me with extremely serious eyes.

I felt like crying, and I thought—

No, God..... It's really bad, it's cruel......]

Jingle bells.

The bell ringing when the door of the bookstore opens suddenly awakens Naoto Hirahara from the plot of the novel.

He turned his head to meet the gaze of the bookstore clerk standing behind the counter.

Not good.

If you are not careful, you will be fascinated by it.

Naoto Hirahara glanced at the words on the page one last of his frustration and hurriedly closed the journal.

Walking towards the counter.

"Hello, checkout."

"Hey!"

The clerk took the book from Naoto Hirahara's hand and packed it in a bag.

"It turned out to be "Light Things"! No wonder the guests are so fascinated by it. The clerk smiled and handed the bag in his hand to Naoto Hirahara.

"Huh?"

"The guest is reading that pure love novel, right? The author seems to be called ......"

"Fireflies in the small courtyard."

Naoto Hirahara replied subconsciously.

Even he himself was taken aback, how could he remember the name of this author's teacher.

"Oh yes! The guests are really reading the novels of the teacher in the small courtyard. ”

"Also?"

"Recently, a lot of people have come to buy "Light Things" every day, all for the novels of Mr. Koyuan...... They all said that they always felt that they believed in the existence of pure love again......"

“……”

Leave the bookstore.

The cold wind stung the skin on his face, and Naoto Hirahara looked at the bag containing the "Light Things" weekly magazine in his hand in a daze.

Believe in pure love?

How can it be......

That kind of ethereal, unrealistic thing......

Only a fool would believe it.
