112 – Battle of the nerves of the losers (2)
Two days have passed since the lecture at the academy ended safely.
The academy is buzzing with new topics these days.
It was because of the Pokéball, as I expected.
ㅡ Is this enough?
Doesn’t Helena understand?
This is called play.
hahahaha!
ㅡ … It’s not even your entertainment.
Facts are also violence!
Anyway, only two days had passed, and merchants who had left to think about it for a while began to come one by one to negotiate.
They are quick-witted people.
I wouldn’t have been able to contact the head office yet.
ㅡ You mean the merchant’s intuition that things will go well rather than the possibility that the contract will be twisted and the path to success will be blocked?
Yes, I think so.
Among these peripheries, these are the ones with a strong spirit of challenge who came to break through the distribution network in the periphery of the country.
There were quite a few young people, so I guess I decided to bet on that intuition.
That’s a good thing for me.
“With this, we have secured a distribution network. Now, other cultures will spread as easily as books.”
I nailed it in advance to them that they only deal in entertainment-related products.
It was even written in the documented contract.
I think that was a sentence that gave merchants quite a bit of comfort.
There may be people who think that this is a big deal, but this is a part that Sanghoe has no choice but to react to very sensitively.
That’s because the representative of a business called Sevens becomes a ‘bright writer’.
I don’t know about other places, but here in Aucklea, I’m almost as popular as the historical greats.
It’s a little embarrassing to say it with my own words, but it’s because it’s being praised the best as Aucklia’s spring.
Suppose I open a store in such a situation and touch various businesses in an octopus manner.
Whose products will the people of Oaklea deal with?
If it is of similar quality, I have no choice but to raise my hand for saving Oaklia.
That’s why everyone had no choice but to be wary of the situation where I appeared as a rival.
This is because the company that opened a branch in Oklia could be fatally injured if it goes wrong.
ㅡ Is that why the contract was so tight?
That’s it.
You shouldn’t show any gaps, and you shouldn’t distrust the other person even a little bit.
Aucklia is starting to grow quite a bit now, so I don’t have to take on the challenge anymore.
“Whoa.”
Still, with this, the contract issue has been settled, and the production of pocketball equipment is on track, so one thing is solved.
Now, after seasoning it moderately, I think you can make table tennis popular while shaking your head and saying that you can enjoy tennis at home.
Besides that, I think there’s a lot left to do.
I decided to prioritize the things I had to do based on importance and urgency.
……
…
When I came to my senses, the white paper was stained black with ink.
There’s so much to do!
ㅡ That’s why I’m telling you to write every time!
aaah!
Right now, I have a writing appointment with Reina from this afternoon, and I have to go to the church to meet Teresa tomorrow.
After that, I’m supposed to prepare a new dessert, and that afternoon, I’m also scheduled to have an interview with a merchant who hasn’t come yet.
ㅡ Then, who raises the cow!
My head hurts too, so please put that oddly stinking buzzword in there.
Whew.
Still, meeting Reina isn’t that bad.
Because the novels of active academy students can give me new inspiration.
Smart.
ㅡ Mr. Bright. Princess Reina has come to visit you.
“Thank you.”
He looks like he won’t be able to become a nobleman.
I left the room to get her dressed and greet Reina.
***
“Thank you for your precious time, Mr. Bright.”
… It must be a formal expression, but why do I feel the thorns in my words?
As expected, I wonder if it contains things that I haven’t been able to find since I left the royal castle?
“It is an honor to be able to work with a beautiful lady.”
I accepted Reina’s greeting in words appropriate to her formality.
But Reina still felt a bit pouty.
I’m confused about how to treat her because she’s acting like she’s strangely between a girl and a lady.
But I don’t like keeping too much distance.
It feels like a little brother who has reached puberty, so it is very difficult to feel the distance.
Raina, you are Theresa Mk.2.
ㅡ Isn’t that a bit harsh expression?
What is it?
ㅡ You hate Teresa, don’t you?
It’s uncomfortable, but not to the extent that I don’t like it.
ㅡ Why?
Writing the story of Seven’s Tales changed my mind in many ways.
– Yes?
Part 1 of Seven’s Tale, which tells the story of the first hero, is now very popular.
Its popularity far exceeds that of her maiden work, Lady.
There are many factors, but among them, I think Grace’s society played an important role.
Even though he wasn’t even a knight, he was more honorable and brave than any other knight.
ㅡ They were wonderful kids.
Yes, they were very impressive.
People are greatly affected by their environment.
That’s why Korean parents are trying to move to an area with good school districts.
The expression that the barn is generous is also a representative expression that the environment has a great influence.
Teresa is that way because the environment was beggarly.
I grew up without parents in a half-dead country called Seongguk, but could I have formed a proper set of values?
If Joker, the number one villain in my heart, was also born as a 3rd generation conglomerate, and had good people around him, would it have been different?
He grew up in such a place because he was unlucky, and he grew up that way because he was unlucky.
So I decided to take pity on him.
ㅡ Are you forgiving someone who ignored you and provoked you?
How long can you do that to a child who is almost 10 years old?
Hello, wives and children.
That’s how we came to this because of a not-so-good encounter, and you’re being rude to me.
But you’re younger than me, and there are many corners to consider.
I can’t menstruate you forever because I’m the boss of the company.
I was a little too playful, so let’s make it a draw.
ㅡ What is that again?
We talk like this in martial arts.
It’s called the Grand Coalition.
It used to be popular as a ‘Human grand group’.
ㅡ Umm… Was that popular?
Anyway, the reason I gave Teresa a gift was because of this change of heart.
Although it had multiple meanings.
“Bright?”
“Oh, sorry. So where is the blockage?”
“Here is this part.”
I shook my head to clear my mind of Teresa and focus on Reina’s story.
From noble mtl dot com
Reina’s writing was a genre that I told her one day.
Possessed objects, reincarnated creatures, and female protagonists.
The genre that is commonly referred to as evil spirits in Japan.
I’ve heard that the spy girl in the Capital Library is doing well these days with this.
It felt more immersive by mixing the concept of possessed water with an academy written by a spy girl.
I never thought they would come out with a work that meets the market demand well.
Reina might really have a knack for her writing.
“Can I read some?”
“Yes. Thank you very much, Sensei.”
“Uh, uh uh.”
I suddenly felt a tingling sensation down my spine.
What is this sense?
I started reading a novel written by Raina, feeling a little uneasy.
……
…
Reina’s novel was a work in which Reina herself was slightly projected into a villain.
The plot begins with a bedridden girl suffering from an incurable disease falling asleep.
When the girl opened her eyes, she was possessed by the villainous lady of the academy she enjoyed reading.
This villainous girl was a villain who seemed to be drawn on a board, so she had various accidents and the public’s evaluation was the worst.
A girl worries about herself and her family in the real world, but does her best to overcome her crisis right in front of her.
It was a feeling that the public opinion was corrected and the story continued while being loved by the people around me.
It’s fun.
This is enough to make it successful.
It was such a confident piece.
“Fun. Enough to publish it as it is.”
“Thank God….”
Reina gently pressed her breasts with both of her hands as if to reassure her.
The movement is strangely feminine, but it feels a bit embarrassing.
Am I wrong, or is Raina too mature….
Obviously, the appearance hasn’t changed much.
Is it because she came wearing clothes that cut her chest?
“Bright?”
“Nothing. It was fun anyway. I think what I especially liked was the part that kept the charm of the main character alive.”
“Is that so? I-I can’t see you from here, so may I go there?”
“Hmm? Uh, yes.”
Raina said that she would excuse me for a moment, and then she came a little closer to me.
It was so close that her shoulders touched each other and she could feel her breath.
“Now, can you explain?”
“Okay.”
Still, I feel like I don’t react well to women because my immunity to women has increased a lot, probably because I’ve done a lot of manly things with Angelica, a walking yasu.
Thanks, Angelica!
Thanks to her, she was able to keep her dignity.
“So I captured the character of the main character well.”
“Can you tell me more?”
“Ummm….”
The feeling of heaviness in her clasped arms is increasing.
Do I really need to push this far?
“Usually, when a person suddenly changes, people around you raise suspicion, don’t you? However, the protagonist realizes the circumstances of the person he possesses and makes a clever decision. She misleads the people around her little by little.”
“Yes. I remember Bright-sama saying illusions are a very tasty subject.”
“If I do well like this, I wonder if I can help….”
“Still, can you see the clumsy part?”
Reina said that and ran her fingers through her paper.
She draws small circles in a clockwise direction using only her index finger, and if I say that she has the impression that it is strangely s*xy… ?
“I can see areas for improvement here and there, but I think most of them will be fixed on their own as I go through the revision process. I think you’d better practice balancing well here.”
“Balance?”
“Ummm… I got the impression that the sentence was elegant because it described the overall situation better than what I wrote and the metaphor had depth.”
For the novels I wrote, most of them are briefly described and passed on for rapid development.
However, the novels written by Reina tended to portray the overall background well.
Let’s say you’re describing a scene where the main character goes underground.
I briefly describe the main character coughing, expressing it as a lot of dust and moving on.
However, Raina describes the surrounding air, humidity, smell, etc. In a little delicate detail.
There is a downside that the development can be slow, but it is a personality that can be a strength because the image is well drawn in the head.
So if she strikes the right balance, she will be called a writer of lively novels.
Unlike me, her work incorporates figurative expressions well.
I’m sick of translation magic, so it’s hard to give advice, but I think it will definitely become a good weapon if you polish it.
“I think I still have a lot to learn.”
“Do you think this will be enough for publication?”
“If possible, I want to write a slightly better work. Didn’t Bright-nim worry a lot when she was writing Lady’s 2nd volume?”
Reina said that, covering her mouth and giving a small smile.
“Something seems very old. It’s only been a year.”
After that, I chatted with Reina about her novel.
It’s been a while since we talked about a novel, so it was an exciting time in many ways.
Something feels good.
Would you like to write a refreshing novel?
ㅡ Now, let’s go to canned food~
… The Seven’s Tale will be finished soon, so I’ll do it later.
ㅡ Are you a warrior?
The hero cannot be canned.
I will become the master of the world!
