N-A-A Chapter 81 Goodbye Mai Sakurajima
Chapter 81 Goodbye Mai Sakurajima
The Shinomiya family.
"Hayasaka, how's the investigation going?" Shinomiya Hiroaki asked Hayasaka Masato behind him without turning his head, sitting with his eyes closed.
Hayasaka Masato bowed his head and said respectfully, "Reporting to Lord Huang Guang, we have found out."
Shinomiya Huangguang opened his eyes: "Is that so? Tell me about it."
Hayasaka Masato replied, "The one who saved us that day was a boy."
"Boy?" Shinomiya Hikari turned around and looked at Hayasaka Masato with a puzzled expression.
"He is a boy named Xia Sheng. He is of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent. His background is simple: he is an orphan who has lost both his parents and lives alone. He is currently a second-year student at Jingxiu Wenwu High School and ranks third in the entire grade."
"Both parents dead? With his abilities, how could his parents have gotten into trouble?" Shinomiya Hikari didn't believe it at all.
"There are indeed suspicious points, and there are no records of his life, only records of the kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school he attended." Hayasaka Masato nodded.
"It's obviously a fake message," Shinomiya Hikari frowned.
"It should be."
"Can't you find anything else?"
"There's nothing left." Hayasaka Masato shook his head.
"As expected, he's no ordinary person... Well then, we shouldn't mess with someone like that."
Huang Guangshi still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the invulnerable and incredibly strong black mist man.
If such a powerful black mist man was easily defeated by a young man, wouldn't his strength be even more exaggerated?
If you provoke him, dealing with him might not be so simple as to kill him silently.
Who knows if he has any special abilities?
His life is very important. He hasn't inherited the Shinomiya family yet, so he can't die.
"Then... shall we do nothing?" Hayasaka Masato asked uncertainly.
"Hmm, everything... wait, isn't Kaguya going to be a second-year student too? Let's transfer her to Kyōshū Bunpu High School and see if we can get to know her. Since she's a boy, she might be interested in girls, maybe..." Shinomiya Hikari changed the subject and said with a carefree smile.
"I understand." Hayasaka Masato said expressionlessly.
This book was first published on 2009.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
"By the way, how is that bitch? Have you found out why she attacked me?" Shinomiya Huangguang's expression changed instantly, and he became furious.
"After asking around, it turns out he's just an ordinary person who doesn't know you at all, Lord Huang Guang. He just saw your attire when you came out of the bank and thought you were someone of high status, so he became jealous."
"Just because of jealousy?" Shinomiya Hikari looked at Hayasaka Masato in disbelief.
"Yes."
"Damn it! How could he embarrass me like that... I never want him to appear in front of me again."
"Yes."
......
Friday evening.
After cleaning the kitchen together, Shiina Mahiru and Natsuo went back.
For the past few days, she has been cooking at Xia Sheng's house. Since she has to cook more anyway, it's more convenient to cook at his house.
Xia Sheng took a shower, went back to his bedroom and lay down. He reached for his phone, turned it on, and found a message.
It was sent by the black cat; there are two messages.
Kuroneko: [Teacher, I've finished reading the second volume of *Konosuba*, and it's just as good, without any problems!]
Black Cat: [The illustrations are just as excellent, as expected of the teacher!]
Savior: [That's fine then. You can schedule the release date.]
Black Cat immediately replied: [Is everything alright? Releasing one volume a month, isn't that a bit rushed?]
Xia Sheng has already told Black Cat about his plan: to become a word-writing machine in the competitive world of novel writing.
The black cat thought he was joking, but then it received the contents of the second volume.
Savior: [This is the normal update frequency. Those who only update once a quarter or half a year are too lazy.]
Black Cat: [But isn't school about to start? Won't it be too late later?]
Savior: [Don't worry, I already have the whole plot in my head. I won't get writer's block; I have enough time.]
Black Cat: [As expected of the teacher, I understand now that you've said so!]
Savior: [Yes, thank you for your hard work.]
Black Cat: [It's not hard work, it's the teacher who's working hard.]
Savior: [How are you doing now?]
Black Cat: [Thanks to the teacher, I'm doing well now.]
Savior: [That's good. That's all for now. Goodnight.]
Black Cat: [Goodnight, teacher. By the way, the first volume has been reprinted again, this time for 50,000 copies! Congratulations, teacher!]
Savior: [I understand, go to sleep early.]
After finishing his chat with the black cat, Xia Sheng was excited, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
If another 50,000 copies are printed, he will truly have no worries about food and clothing.
This is only the first volume.
With this level of popularity, every subsequent first printing will sell as well as the first.
The key point is that the content of the first volume is still being hotly debated, and Xia Sheng is involved in it, although only as an observer.
He wasn't afraid of readers' criticism, after all, he knew how excellent Konosuba was, and this was still his optimized version.
Criticism, at most, is just that it doesn't suit the tastes of certain people.
With positive reviews overwhelmingly outweighing negative ones, what does he have to worry about?
At this rate, Xia Sheng could rest easy with just this one novel.
There will be further adaptations, including comics, animations, and games... all of which will incur copyright fees.
However, Xia Sheng will still write other novels. His purpose has long since changed. He wants to help improve and elevate the situation of the black cat and her position in the editorial department.
One wildly popular novel alone is not enough.
Fortunately, he had plenty to learn from.
As for original works, he had no such idea. After all, he didn't start writing novels for his dreams, but for a living.
It's for the black cat now.
Why waste his energy when there's something readily available?
It was still early, so Xia Sheng browsed through the discussion threads about "Konosuba" for a while. Seeing everyone's praise, he felt quite satisfied.
It was almost 11 o'clock when he changed into his sportswear and went to sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in a familiar place, dimly lit, with stone pillars everywhere.
It is the first floor.
"We meet again, Junior Xia."
"Sakurajima-senpai, it's nice to see you again." Natsuo looked at Sakurajima Mai beside him and nodded in acknowledgment.
This time, she wasn't wearing pajamas; she was actually wearing the same sports uniform as him.
"It really wasn't a dream." Mai Sakurajima looked at this space, her eyes bright.
"Sakurajima-senpai?" Natsuo looked at her strangely.
He sensed that Mai Sakurajima seemed to be really looking forward to coming here, just like Yui Yuigahama had been before.
"What's wrong?" Mai Sakurajima asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"It's nothing... but I should warn you, it's dangerous here."
"I know." Mai Sakurajima nodded and smiled gently.
"Isn't this what happens when you're here? You'll take care of it, right?"
"...That's true, but if there are too many intruders, I might not be able to take care of you."
"Too many intruders?"
"The rule here is that there is at least one intruder per day. Since we came here today, we will most likely face a week's worth of intruders," Xia Sheng explained simply.
"One a day... then why was there only one before?" Mai Sakurajima asked.
"That day... must have been a special case. Sakurajima-senpai, you just happened to be there when this strange thing happened," Natsumi explained.
"An anomaly... It seems you know more about this place than I thought." Mai Sakurajima stared intently at Natsumi.
"Since you know I know a lot, Sakurajima-senpai, you should believe what I say, right?"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything. You just want me to listen to you, right? I can do that."
"That's fine then." Xia Sheng nodded in satisfaction.
"When will the intruders appear?" Mai Sakurajima asked.
"Now."
"?"
Mai Sakurajima followed Natsuo's gaze into the depths, and saw the same scene as before.
The slime appeared out of thin air.
They're still pure blue, and there are six of them!
