"Pfft..." Meixing tried her best to cover her mouth to keep herself from laughing, but in the end she was defeated by Subaru and began to laugh out loud.

"hahahahahahahahaha……"

Mei Xing laughed all the way back to the living room from the porch, and sat on the sofa exaggeratedly and kept hitting her head against the cushion.

"Really." Subaru sat next to him and rolled his eyes in contempt when he saw the beauty star who was smiling so exaggeratedly.

Sure enough, nothing good, it's alright now, the daily molestation task is completed.Subaru complained in his heart, and silently went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After coming out of the shower, I saw Mei Xing slumped on the sofa weakly. It was obvious that she had laughed hard just now... The two looked at each other, Mei Xing snorted, hugged her stomach and laughed again, mixed with "Ouch I belly", "I can't do it" and so on...

Just kidding you, Subaru rolled his eyes again, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the entrance.

"Where are you going, Subaru?" Meixing chased after him from the living room.

"I have something to do tonight, I'm going out to dinner."

"Wow~~?" Mei Xing squinted at Subaru, "Could it be that you are going out on a date with your girlfriend?"

"Not at all!"

Meixing lowered her head and looked at Subaru pitifully, like a puppy who was aggrieved. This kind of appearance was reflected in Meixing's body of a primary school student. If it was someone who didn't know her, her lethality would definitely explode.

"Little Subaru, you have already told me that you can't spend your time outside~~"

The whimpering sound gave Subaru goosebumps and shivered.After hurriedly saying "I'm going out", Subaru opened the door as if he had escaped and ran out.There was also a faint "meow haha" laughter behind him.

"Really, just like this one day, my lifespan will really be shortened."

Chapter 17 Illustration for "Spring Things"

Subaru came to the appointed place, where Toki Kenjiro was already waiting.

"Hey! Mr. Toki!" Subaru ran to Kenjiro and waved hello.

"Ah! It's finally here, I'm more than ten minutes late, Subaru."

"Sorry, sorry, there was a delay in the middle."

The two made an appointment to meet at 6:5, but Subaru and Aoi didn't go home until [-]:[-], and he was late with some other trivial matters.

"No, it doesn't matter at all, let's go!"

"Ok!"

Because Subaru was not yet an adult, Kenjiro couldn't directly drag Subaru to the izakaya, so he had to choose a family restaurant.

"Speaking of which, did you receive that bonus?"

After chatting and eating, both of them ordered a dessert, Kenjiro asked.

"Well, I got it after that day."

"That's good, although the bonus is given to you, but some necessary procedures have not been completed. If you have time, come to the company and fill out the form."

Subaru also felt strange about this, so he gave himself the [-] million bonus with such confidence.What Subaru didn't know was that this was also a way for Dengeki Bunko to win him over. Dengeki Bunko showed enough sincerity and trust. On the other hand, Subaru would also have a good impression of Dengeki Bunko because of this, increasing his chances of keeping Subaru in Dengeki Bunko.After all, the bonus will belong to Subaru sooner or later. If you give it earlier, you can boost your favorability, so why not do it?

"I understand." Subaru nodded, thinking about when to go to Dengeki Bunko.

"By the way, there is one more thing. The first volume of "My Youth Love Story" has been proofread. Now it's time for you to choose an illustration teacher. After you choose it, you can start publishing and selling."

Subaru was a little surprised: "So soon?"

It’s only a few days after signing the contract, so is it proofreading? Doesn’t it mean that the publication and distribution of light novels have a long-established chronological order?

"Haha, didn't I say last time, our company has paid enough attention to your work, and of course put your work in the first order." Seemingly seeing the meaning of Subaru's words, Kenjiro laughed and explained road.

"I see."

"Look at you, don't you know?"

"Huh? Know what?"

"The list of winners of the Light Novel Grand Prix has been announced. Now everyone on the Internet is discussing your book that won the highest prize."

"Really? Let me see."

As a senior otaku, Subaru's only hobby online is watching anime. After he has traveled to this world, well, since he can't even watch anime, Subaru has no reason to turn on his computer, so he doesn't know anything about online news.

Taking out his mobile phone, Subaru entered the homepage of Dengeki Bunko, and found that the homepage had changed at some point. As soon as he entered, a top prize would pop up, and then the words of the prologue of "Spring Things" slowly emerged.

"Youth is a lie and an evil..."

At the end of the title, the author emerges.After this series of animations, the page automatically jumps to the home page.

This was too exaggerated, and Subaru's eyebrows twitched.He tapped his finger and entered the discussion area. Sure enough, 90% of the topics in the discussion area were about his book.

"Wow, those first few sentences caught my eye. This book is definitely not to be missed."

"Look at the author's information, it's actually a newcomer! Awesome!"

"Really! I can't imagine the newcomer winning the highest award!"

"Isn't the official release date yet? I can't wait to see it!"

"Che, are you all fooled by this award? It's not a good book when you look at the title."

"That's right, don't you just win the top prize, plus the official bragging about it, maybe the official just picked up a novel to get boos."

"The two upstairs, is this the first time you watched Dengeki Bunko's Light Novel Grand Prix? How hard is it to get the top prize if you don't have a B in your heart?"

"The answer is right upstairs, some people are really..."

The discussion forum has mixed praise and criticism for this book, but most of them are full of expectations for this book. I have to say that the promotion of Dengeki Bunko is really powerful.

Subaru exited the homepage, and took a look at other news pages, and even on the N site, there were many people discussing his book.

This is really amazing. Subaru put away his phone. He didn't expect a grand prize to have such a large amount of energy.

"How?" Kenjiro asked with a smile.

"I still haven't reacted..."

"Hahaha, it's normal." Kenjiro patted Subaru's shoulder, took out a thick document from his briefcase, and said, "Let's continue what we said earlier, now the novel only needs illustrations. This illustration also requires the author to make his own choice. Here I am the information of the illustrator teachers and their trial works selected by the company for you. You can take a look and choose one or several illustrator teachers, and we will make an appointment to talk together. ", Kenjiro said, handing the documents to Subaru.

Subaru didn't answer and shook his head: "No, Mr. Toki, I don't want to give the illustration to others, I want to draw it myself."

"You can still draw?!" This time it was Kenjiro's turn to not react. Light novel writers can also draw illustrations or something. Isn't it good for us to be a mortal in peace?

"Yes, do you have paper and pen?"

"Yes." Kenjiro took out an A4 piece of paper and a gel pen from his briefcase and handed it to Subaru.

Picking up the pen and paper, after ten minutes, there are three more vivid characters on the paper.Subaru pushed the paper to Kenjiro and pointed it to Kenjiro at the same time.

"The boy in the middle is Hachiman, the one with long hair is Yukino, and the one on the other side is Yui."

Kenjiro pushed his glasses, picked up the paper and observed it carefully. Suddenly, he thought of something. He opened the document and compared the characters drawn by the illustrator with the one in his hand.

In the end, Kenjiro had to admit that the character picture that Subaru gave him was definitely the most suitable for this novel. Even if the level of illustration may not be comparable to those of famous illustration teachers, the characters in Subaru’s drawing are just for people. A kind of "these people are supposed to be" kind of feeling.Sure enough, in terms of understanding of the work, no one can surpass the author.However, there is no precedent for letting the author draw the illustrations himself.

Waiting quietly for Kenjiro to finish the illustration, Subaru was a little smug: "How?"

"Since the author made the shot, of course no one can surpass it in terms of image."

"In that case..."

Kenjiro interrupted what Subaru wanted to say: "But our company has no precedent for the author to draw illustrations by himself before this, and I don't know how to deal with it. I need to report this matter to the company."

Subaru nodded in understanding.

"Then just come here today, I'll rush back to the company to report to the above, and try to tell you the news as soon as possible." Kenjiro drank the drink in the cup in one breath, stood up, and extended his hand to Subaru.

Subaru also stretched out his hand and shook Kenjiro's hand, smiled and said, "Okay, then thank you very much."

"You're welcome, this is the editor's job."

After Kenjiro paid the bill at the counter, the two walked out of the restaurant together. After Kenjiro said goodbye, he hurried to the nearest subway station.

"Then, if you have nothing to do, just go home and play online games."

Saying something to himself, Subaru stretched his body and walked towards home.

……

"Yo, Subaru! You weren't late today."

When they came to the guild, Xiu Fan and Yaplik were already sitting in the guild, but the knight and the priest had not come yet.

"What do you mean, it's like I'm often late." Subaru sat down beside Shufan.

With that said, two lights and shadows flickered, and the knight and the priest entered the guild rest area together.

"Good evening, everyone."

"Good evening, Xiufan-chan, Aprico-chan, Subaru-chan."

"Okay." The president stood up, "Since everyone is here, let's finish today's guild task first! Let's go!"

A few lights and shadows flickered, and the guild members appeared at today's dungeon location.

"Hey! President, what is this mission?"

After teleporting to the dungeon location, different from the expected monsters rushing in together, except for the five Subaru, no other creatures appeared here.

"Hmm~ I'll take a look." Yapuli was able to call out the task panel and suddenly looked surprised, "Oh~~! We have drawn a special task!"

"Special mission?" Subaru was a little curious. He had never encountered a special mission in his mind.

"See for yourself." The president sent the mission information to the guild members.

Subaru called out the mission, and the big words on it caught his attention.

The guild... the battle of the strongest?The competition held to decide the strongest of the guild: each guild member fights individually, everyone fights on the dungeon map, and the player who survives to the end becomes the strongest of the guild, and the system will reward the customized badge One, if the winner has not been decided within 30 minutes, the system will select the strongest player based on the performance score. (For the sake of fairness, cleric players will be assigned a knight (computer) of the same level, and the cleric can still continue to fight if the cleric is killed, but if the cleric is killed, the knight also dies.)

"This..." Subaru did not expect that the system would assign such a special task.

Yaplik laughed loudly: "Isn't this very good, let's just let the horses come over!"

Xiu Fan nodded: "Come on, come on, let you all see the true strength of this uncle!"

The knights and priests are also eager to try.

When did he become so belligerent... Subaru complained in his heart.
