Real teaching, but diary flow

I thought she would say something more, but to my surprise, she didn't say anything after sitting down. She just continued to slowly flip through the light novel in her hands.

...That was the worst book he ever wrote.

Re:Zero - The Reincarnation of a Simp

This isekai (another world) work was written entirely based on the remnants of my memory, using a few names and settings, and a flurry of emotions.

Instead of learning from the strengths of the original work, the author exaggerated its flaws due to their own dissatisfaction, resulting in a completely awful work...

If it weren't for his previous experience and his insistence on publishing, the editor wouldn't have made a rash decision and allowed the book to be released.

But as it turns out, a bad production is a bad production.

No matter how good the foundation or how great the setting, if the writing is bad, it can't be salvaged by those factors.

Therefore, after finishing the Sanctuary arc, this book was abruptly and decisively abruptly ended.

He never expected that such a terrible work could be included in the library of this lousy school, and even be held in the hands of Shiina Hiyori and slowly flipped through.

He had clearly hidden it, so how did it manage to be found?!

"Swish..." The sound of pages turning slowly rang in his ears, and Asakusa Tetsu felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

How would she feel if she saw this?

How would she evaluate this story?

Will she finish reading it?

As the content creator, even if you copy the ideas of the great works of the past, only an absolute memory master can achieve a 100% complete replication.

Someone like him, who can only be considered a reader in ordinary times, can only borrow someone else's excellent framework to output a new story that is much better than others.

Even so, he still cares occasionally.

Will my own writing be able to convey even half the charm of the original work? Will readers actually accept this story?

Even this emotionally charged work.

Time passed little by little, and the mystery novel he had picked up at random was completely unreadable. Every time he thought about getting into it and reading carefully, he would take his eyes off the book to check if the girl had finished reading.

Tsk, I remember you like mystery novels, right? Why are you reading my lousy work?

Why don't we try to take the books from the library with us? At most, we'll just lose some money.

Or should we just tear it up? What's the point of keeping this embarrassing history?

That shouldn't have been written in the first place.

A jumble of thoughts raced through her mind, and finally, the girl in front of her let out a long sigh.

"Phew..." The pages of the book had unknowingly reached the end.

Gently closing the book, Hiyori Shiina smiled with satisfaction.

Asakusa Tetsu thought she was finally going to say something to him, but she didn't.

She simply stood up slowly, placed the book back on the shelf where it originally stood, giving it some display space, then gently returned to him and took out the terminal.

Ms. Hiyori Shiina showed him her contact information.

"..." Asakusa Tetsu raised his head, looked at Shiina Hiyori's gentle smile, hesitated for a moment, and then took out his terminal and added the contact information she had shown.

Why don't you speak?

Seeing Asakusa Tetsu's name appear in her otherwise lonely friend list, Shiina Hiyori showed a satisfied expression.

After putting away the terminal, she decisively began packing up the things she had brought.

"..." It looks like they're about to leave.

I'll go too.

Although I have absolutely no idea what she's thinking, it seems she has no intention of continuing to read her own lousy work.

...In fact, I've already finished watching it.

With a silent sigh, not intending to continue reading the novel he couldn't concentrate on, Asakusa Tetsu first got up and put the novel back in its original place, then went back to the spot where Shiina Hiyori had just returned the lousy novel.

He reached out, took the book, and shoved it back into the corner.

Don't look at any of them.

After confirming that this place would be hard to find without specifically looking for it, Asakusa Tetsu turned around with satisfaction and prepared to leave the library.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the library, the NPC behind him took the initiative to follow him.

"Good afternoon, Asakusa-kun." Shiina Hiyori had her hands behind her back and a faint smile on her face.

Asakusa Toru paused for a moment, then continued walking slowly towards the dormitory as if nothing had happened, casually replying:

"You've already said hello once."

“But Asakusa hasn’t responded to me yet,” she said.

"Well then, good afternoon, Shiina-san." Asakusa Tetsu gave her the greeting she wanted quite casually.

I still don't quite get used to the atmosphere in the library.

As soon as he stepped out of the library, he felt much better.

"Why did you sit next to me?" Asakusa Tetsu asked casually, glancing at Shiina who was sitting next to him.

So far, his only contact with Hiyori Shiina is probably giving her a voice recorder on the first day of school.

I can't figure out why she came over here.

Shiina Hiyori tilted her head and said very gently, "Because I want to understand Asakusa-kun?"

"I'm curious why Asakusa-kun cares about that book."

Chapter 48 Resurrection!

"...Because it's a bad book?"

“I think it’s a good book,” Shiina Hiyori said. “You can feel very strong emotions in it.”

"Unfortunately, there probably won't be any follow-up."

Toru Asakusa: "......"

Yes, there is a sequel. Of course there is a sequel, but it will no longer be the story I wrote. Instead, it will be the story that a guy who died and returned from another world will continue to tell.

Ultimately, he wrote this terrible book simply because last year, after tearing up missing person posters and cursing someone in front of their parents, he was extremely annoyed by the complex expressions on the faces of the Natsuki couple at the police station—their speechless expressions suggesting they hadn't fully let go of the past. So he went back and picked up his pen to write it.

Unfortunately, a book written in the heat of the moment may not be a masterpiece; it could also be a terrible one.

"...There's nothing to regret." Asakusa Tetsu looked away. "Compared to that kind of thing, why didn't you say anything earlier?"

Hiyori Shiina blinked and said matter-of-factly, "Because it's in the library."

"Keep quiet in the library."

This is a perfectly ordinary principle.

Unfortunately, there will always be people who don't follow the rules.

The girl's words were very gentle, and her thoughts were very ordinary.

In this highly developed training ground teeming with exceptional individuals, Hiyori Shiina exudes an unexpectedly comforting aura.

"Even if you get close to me, I won't lend you money."

For some reason, Asakusa Tetsu suddenly felt that he was somewhat unable to handle Raiichiro and such a 'normal person'.

When faced with a superhuman, he can provoke them without any mercy, say all sorts of nonsense without restraint, and watch them jump around with amusement.

But when faced with such a normal person...

Forget it, why think so much?

Seriously, what the hell are you being so dramatic, you stupid idiot? Can't you be any freer? Can't you be any more unrestrained?

You're not happy when a pretty girl comes up to you and tries to get closer to you?

After mentally berating himself, Asakusa Tetsu quickly shook off his nonsensical, boastful mood.

He thought he was probably affected by his dark past. Just thinking about the emotions he felt when he wrote that stuff made him feel awkward, and he wanted to rush to another world and slap Natsuki Subaru across the face.

Sigh, when will my diary finally start to work its magic?

With a jumble of thoughts swirling in their minds, Asakusa Toru and Shiina Hiyori walked back to their dormitory side by side.

That's right, the dormitories at the Advanced Development Institute are co-ed.

Although they are not on the same floor, they are in the same building.

Isn't that amazing? He thought it was amazing too.

Are they really not afraid of causing a death in a vocational school?

What, is Japan's birth rate so low that high school students have to work so hard?

"Ding—" A crisp sound rang out, and the elevator arrived at the first floor.

Asakusa Tetsu gently pressed the button for the fifth floor, then watched as Shiina pressed the button for her own floor.

Well, although men and women live in the same dormitory building in Advanced Development, there are still some distinctions.

The boys were assigned to relatively lower floors, while the girls were all assigned to higher floors.

Therefore, he will arrive at the destination before Shiina.

"Ding—" The crisp sound rang out again, and the elevator doors slowly opened.

Stepping out of the elevator, Hiyori Shiina waved gently behind her:

"See you tomorrow, Asakusa-kun."

"Ah, see you tomorrow." Asakusa Tetsu replied casually, almost unconsciously.

Then, the elevator doors closed again.

"...Wait a minute, aren't we in different classes?" Asakusa Tetsu suddenly remembered this question.

So... she means, see you at the library tomorrow too?

Oops, I fell into a trap.

......

On April 11th, I received a long-term daily quest from a fixed NPC in the library: Water Diary.

On April 12th, he heard a complaint from an NPC, relayed from Longyuan. Longyuan suspected him of leaking information to Class D and demanded he pay back the money. He guessed correctly, but received no reward and continued writing in his diary.

On April 13th, the plot index remained at E for a long time, which made me unhappy. I went to the White Gym to touch Tianze's legs. Tianze's legs were very healthy and strong, as expected of someone from the White Gym. It was very stress-relieving. I described the feel of his thighs in my diary, but for some reason, I received a D rating instead.

April 14, touching legs.

April 15, touching legs.

April 16th. I can't waste any more time touching my legs. The white gym membership is only valid for one year. In addition to the regular daily workouts, I need to do extra training. If I waste time touching my legs, won't I never graduate?!

April 17, touching legs.

April 18th, I've had enough touching, I'm done. Thinking about it carefully, if I increase my physical strength and max out my experience, I should be able to do more than just touch legs. For a better goal, I'll train!

On April 20th, I heard that Master Master of the Black Room skipped class to harass Class A. If I'm not mistaken, he must have taken money from Ryuen. They probably had their eye on the end of the month when he's almost out of money. Compared to the vague evaluations that scoundrel Chabashira talks about, Master Master of the Black Room probably thinks solid money is better. I hope he won't regret it next month.

On April 21st, there was a quiz, and then, the master of masterpieces started putting his arm around Class C's shoulder.

On Sunday, April 22nd, I went to the movie theater with Ichinose and discovered that Ibuki Mio was also showing the same movie. Great, no need to think about it, it's definitely a bad movie.

April 23rd. The movie I watched yesterday was indeed a terrible one. How come this crappy school cinema shows so many bad movies?

On April 24th, I feel like I'm getting used to the plot index being E. Although what I post is mostly useless stuff, who knows?

On April 25th, I had a feeling that a day with a high index was about to arrive, which was the 4th!

On April 26th, I was able to touch my waist.

On April 27th, it could go a little higher.

On April 28th, I touched it.
