The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

The truth is, not everything will go your way.

Coming out of the tall office building, Hazuki Yuka had a somewhat sad face.

It's normal to think about it. Anyone who has spent a lot of time and energy to write a story will not feel too comfortable if someone rejects it, let alone a sensitive girl like Hazuki Yuka.

"Hazuki-san."

Qing Gongfeng looked at the girl who was a little depressed and couldn't help but said.

"...Huh?" Her eyes were a little dim.

"I think back then, Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times before asking Zhuge Liang to come out; Edison spent ten years developing batteries, and after more than 50,000 failures, he finally succeeded; even Van Gogh was obsessed with his painting dream and never gave up until his death. ."

Qing Gongfeng spoke eloquently.

"Kiyomiya-san, you mean that I have to spend a lot of time before I can successfully submit my manuscript?"

Hazuki Yuka thought for a moment and said.

"Well, that's not what I mean," Qing Gongfeng paused for a moment before continuing, "I just mean that most things cannot be successful at once. Hazuki-san should not give up easily."

"Kyomiya-san's way of comforting people is very special..."

"Have it?"

Hazuki Yuka looked at the somewhat innocent Qing Gongfeng and immediately laughed. The sadness of being rejected was swept away by the wind like fallen leaves in autumn.

"I won't give up so easily," she took a few steps forward, clasping her hands in front of her, with a less bright but unique smile on her face, "Although it is true that I am a little disappointed, I don't I’ll give up.”

Hazuki Yuka's tone was firm, and so was her expression, but Qing Gongfeng was stunned.

"That's good," Qing Gongfeng also showed a smile on his face, "I'm still thinking about how to get Ye Yue-san to be interested."

"I feel like I'm being underestimated by Kiyomiya-san."

"how come?!"

The dull atmosphere just now was swept away, and the two of them walked side by side towards the nearest station.

If you don’t succeed in one place, look for another place, and the next stop is Chiyoda.

The tram passed, swaying towards the end.

After getting out of the car, I turned a few steps and finally came to an office building.

This is the editorial department of Dengeki Bunko. Popular light novels such as "A Certain Magical Index" and "Sword Art Online" with circulations of tens of millions are all products of Dengeki Bunko. The sister-control gospel "My Sister" also comes from here. .

The two took the elevator and arrived at the floor where the editorial department was located. Hazuki Yuka took a deep breath and walked in with Qing Gongfeng.

The receptionist at the front desk is a young woman wearing glasses. Judging from her clear eyes, she must be a recent college student.

Qing Gongfeng greeted him with a sunny smile on his face.

"Excuse me, sister, I have a book manuscript here that I want to submit. Can sister help me contact the editor to take a look."

The receptionist was blinded as soon as he raised his face, and for a short time he was so stunned that he couldn't speak.

"..."

"Sister?" Qing Gongfeng waved his hand in front of her.

"...Ah, okay, okay, please wait a moment."

The young woman suddenly lowered her head and dialed the phone with visible panic movements.

Seeing this, Qing Gongfeng and Hazuki Yuka looked at each other. Hazuki Yuka didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, sometimes even she would be stunned for a few seconds when she saw Qing Gongfeng's smiling face.

"Ahem," the receptionist coughed lightly, glanced at Qing Gongfeng and then said, "You two can wait in the reception room for a while, and an editor will come to contact you soon."

"Okay, sorry, I wonder where the guest room is?"

"You two, please follow me."

The two followed the front desk into a room. After sitting on the sofa, the front desk took out disposable paper cups and poured them a glass of water.

"Thank you sister."

Qing Gongfeng took it with both hands, smiled and nodded to her, and Ye Yue Yuhua also thanked her.

"You're welcome, you're welcome," the receptionist waved his hand and showed his professional appearance, "You two, please wait here for a moment. If you need anything, you can call me at the front desk."

After saying that, she took on the attitude of a big sister and smiled tenderly at Qing Gongfeng and Hazuki Yuka, and then left the reception room.

The room fell silent.

Qing Gongfeng took a sip of water. Just taking the train from morning to night today was almost halfway through Tokyo.

"I don't know what the outcome will be this time."

Yuka Hazuki took out the manuscript from her bag and read it.

"It should be no problem. If there is any deficiencies, you can take the opportunity to ask the editor for advice."

The story written by Yuka Hazuki has no problems with the plot and writing. The most prominent problem is that the words and sentences in it are a bit artistic. If it can be expressed in the form of an anime movie, it may be very popular - for The description of the environment and the psychology of the male and female protagonists is simply beautiful.

But when it comes to light novels, it has some meaning of traditional novels. From this point of view, it is indeed not in line with the market.

Especially now, most of the popular light novels are related to another world. Some male protagonists can even be reborn as a pig in another world. But this pig is the pet pig of the princess, eh, this is the selling point.

In addition, the plot is about the male and female protagonists who do not know how to express emotions getting close to each other. No other main characters appear during this period, and naturally there are no major rhythm points or contradictions.

In summary, Yuka Hazuki's novels, if read carefully, are not suitable for this impetuous era.

Within ten minutes, a tapping sound came in, but the footsteps were not very steady.

A woman who also wore glasses walked in. Her face looked a little childish, giving the impression that she did not have much work experience.

"Sorry for the long wait, you two."

Qing Gongfeng and Hazuki Yuka stood up and shook their hands.

"Hello, I am Qing Gongfeng, and this is Yuka Hazuki."

After introducing each other, several people sat down.

"Kyomiya-san and Hazuki-san look very young," Watanabe Mariko raised her glasses, "High school students?"

"Well, I'm still in my first year of high school." Qing Gongfeng replied with a smile.

"You're in the first year of high school, no wonder," Watanabe Mariko cast her eyes on Hazuki Yuka, "Is it Hazuki-san who wants to submit a novel?"

Of the two people in front of me, the girl was obviously a bit introverted, and the handsome boy was pulled over at first sight... Well, he was emboldened.

"Well, Watanabe-san, please take a look."

Yuka Hazuki handed over the manuscript, and Mariko Watanabe took it over and looked at it. She was immediately surprised. She thought it was printed, but she didn't expect it to be written stroke by stroke.

Suddenly, Mariko Watanabe felt that the manuscript in her hand suddenly became heavier. She knew what this manuscript represented.

"A story about protagonists who don't know how to express themselves and get close to each other while stumbling..." After reading the story introduction, Watanabe Mariko calmed down.

Time passed little by little. Hazuki Yuka clenched her hands into fists and placed them on her thighs. She was obviously not calm and took a sip of water.

Qing Gongfeng couldn't say anything to break the calm, so he could only smile at Ye Yue Yuhua when she looked over, hoping to calm her down.

This scene is so similar to the time when I went to another library just now. Yuka Hazuki must also be worried that Mariko Watanabe will shake her head and say "no" after reading the manuscript.

Her heart was almost on Mariko Watanabe, who was reading the manuscript, and Mariko Watanabe's heart was on the manuscript. Her expression slowly changed with the development of the plot, sometimes she chuckled, and sometimes she frowned. eyebrow.

Seeing that Hazuki Yuka was worried, Qing Gongfeng took out his mobile phone and started tapping on the screen with his fingers.

Later, Yuka Hazuki felt the phone in her pocket vibrate twice. Seeing that Mariko Watanabe was fascinated, she quietly took out her phone and saw a message from Qing Gongfeng:

[Qing Gongfeng: Ye Yue, do you still remember Liu Bei, Edison and Van Gogh? 】

[Qing Gongfeng: It’s best if you have a draft. If not, I will accompany Hazuki-san to the next place. Touch your head.jpg】

"..."

Hazuki Yuka looked at the message on the screen, her lips moved, but no sound came out. She stared at Qing Gongfeng in front of her without blinking, and her moist eyes seemed to be speaking for her.

The cute look reminded Qing Gongfeng of a creature. The deer in Nara looked at him with such pure eyes that day.

Qing Gongfeng unconsciously stretched out his hand, landed on Ye Yue's little head, and touched it gently.

This time I really touched my head.
