Chapter 13

It can even be called scary to some extent.

Komachi stretched out her hands and took a stack of light novels from his hands. When she was about to leave, she suddenly turned back and said, "Onii-chan, do you want to meet Sister Liuli? You have the same hobbies and should have a lot of topics to talk about, right?"

"That's totally unnecessary. I still have to continue writing novels."

He shook his head and rejected his sister's proposal.

"Onii-chan, if you are like this, Komachi is very worried. You have no friends in real life. Such a life will make people feel sad!"

Komachi showed a pitying look.

"How do you know I don't have any friends in real life?"

Hikigaya Hachiman responded calmly.

"Do I have any?"

Komachi tilted her head and said.

"No."

Under the cute offensive of her sister, Hikigaya Hachiman agreed to meet the other party.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are close neighbors. There is really no harm in getting to know your neighbors.

"Sister Liuli."

Walking to the courtyard of the neighbor's house, Komachi shouted enthusiastically.

"I'll be out right away."

Someone answered soon, and soon a girl in ordinary home clothes came out.

With long black hair, bangs cut flat, and a gorgeous teardrop mole under the left eye, she is a very pretty Japanese beauty, but her expression is particularly strange, looking a little gloomy, giving people a feeling of being difficult to approach.

It's hard to imagine that in two weeks, Komachi became friends with the other party.

If you think about it carefully, it's not surprising. As a person with two sisters, how can you refuse such a lively and lovely sister character?

So, Gokou Liuli couldn't resist Komachi's enthusiasm at all!

"Is this Komachi's brother?"

Gokou Liuli raised her eyes, with a puzzled look.

"Well, I'm Komachi's brother, Hikigaya Hachiman."

He said with a normal expression.

"Hello, I'm Gokou Liuli."

The girl in front of her just introduced herself politely, and then there was no follow-up.

Although polite, it actually feels like he is keeping people at a distance.

For some reason, Hikigaya Hachiman feels like he is looking in a mirror.

If only two people were present, the conversation would have ended without a doubt.

However, Komachi, who has been smart and sharp since childhood, quickly came to the rescue.

"Ruri-sister, these are my sister's collection. See if they suit your taste. If not, there are more in my sister's room."

Komachi walked into the door by herself and put a stack of light novels and comics on the ground.

Gokou Ruri's eyes lit up instantly.

If there were no other people here, she would have probably fallen to the ground to read.

"Thank you for your trouble. Thank you Komachi and... your brother."

Although Gokou Ruri has a bit of a weird personality, she still expressed her kindness correctly.

"Nothing, I've already read it anyway, and it's useless to leave it there."

He didn't care.

"Okay, I'm going back, Komachi."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at his sister.

"Okay, Onii-chan, you go back first. I want to chat with Sister Liuli for a while."

Komachi waved her hand casually, just like shooing away a fly.

Hikigaya Hachiman had the urge to complain.

Whose sister are you?

After he left.

"Sister Liuli, how is it? My Onii-chan."

Komachi smiled slightly and asked.

"I don't know. If we want to make friends, we'll talk about it later when we have a chance."

Ruri Gokou responded a little embarrassedly.

"I know."

Komachi nodded gently and didn't mention it again.

She knew that it would take more than a short time to make two people with such troublesome personalities become friends.

22 Fan Letters

Hikigaya Hachiman naturally understood his sister's little thoughts. She just felt that he was too arrogant, so she wanted to find him a friend who could talk to him, so that he would not completely isolate himself and find a way to get along with others in the future.

This worry was of course unnecessary in his eyes.

His way of dealing with people is different from that of the Great Teacher. There are various reasons why the Great Teacher at this time could not make friends, but he did not have such a problem. He just felt that it was a bit troublesome to deal with interpersonal relationships, so he simplified it.

Friends cannot be forced, just being together is enough.

However, he did not plan to talk to his sister about this matter, but just accepted his sister's kindness silently.

It has been a month since the release of "Summer Return".

It was another weekend, and Hikigaya Hachiman took the train to Tokyo.

This time he came to the headquarters of the Undead River Library not for something extraordinary, but for the fan letters he received.

Although he is just a rookie, as an author who has achieved some success, he naturally has his own fans.

Most fans choose to support silently, a few will speak out online, and even fewer people send letters, usually some very enthusiastic fans, or fans who want to send you razor blades.

Considering the protection of the author, the recipient address is naturally set at the headquarters of the Undead River Library.

After all, in the industry, not to mention sending razor blades, there have been cases of direct personal threats.

"Here are the fan letters received in the past month, about 20 to 30."

In the chat room, Machida Yuanzi walked in from the door and put a box on the table.

"Do you want to open it here? Or take it back."

She asked.

"Or take it home to read."

Hikigaya Hachiman thought about it and chose to take it back.

After all, it was the first time in his life that he received a fan letter, and he wanted to take it more seriously.

If there are too many fan letters in the future, there will be nothing he can do.

"Okay, I'll change the bag and pack it up."

Machida Sonoko nodded and helped him organize it.

"The first volume has made a good start. Are you confident about the content of the second volume? If you are more cautious, you can spend more time. Besides, you still have schoolwork to do, right?"

Before leaving, Machida Sonoko asked and instructed her out of concern. This is also the responsibility of an editor.

"Don't worry, Ms. Machida, I have confidence. I have completed a part of it some time ago. I will send you the manuscript after I go back."

Hikigaya Hachiman confidently made a promise to comfort the editor.

He decided to write one volume every three months and would not change it.

"As long as you don't feel forced..."

Machida Sonoko examined his expression and confirmed.

Return to Chiba.

Hikigaya Hachiman opened the door of his house, went to the living room, took out the fan letters in the bag one by one, and began to read.

Fortunately, although the plot of the first volume is mainly about creating depressing emotions, it is not depressing, so no one threw threatening blades.

Also, with his current size, even if he writes a depressing plot, it is difficult to encounter such an event.

Next, he opened the letter and began to read.

The content of the letter is actually similar, with bragging, admiration, encouragement, and all words that make people feel good.

But compared to the comments seen on the website, there is no doubt that it is more real and more touching to hold it in your hand.

——

Teacher Yuese, respectfully.

I was fortunate to read the teacher's "Summer Returns" and I felt addicted. This should be the most interesting novel I have ever read. It is really a wonderful entertainment in the world to be able to meet the teacher's work. I hope that the teacher can continue to show his style in the next story. If so, I will always follow the teacher.

So far, thank you again for the unforgettable memories that Teacher Yuese brought me.

——

There are even such letters, and such flattering words made him, a new author, completely flattered.

He almost thought that he was the best light novel writer in the world.

A closer look revealed that the handwriting of the letter was very beautiful, like it was written by a girl.

He was even more complacent after judging this.

Having loyal fans, and little fans, these two happy things overlapped and brought double happiness to Hikigaya Hachiman...

"Wake up quickly."

Suddenly, he patted his cheek and dispelled his silly smile.

"It's too dangerous. I almost lost myself."

He patted his chest with a scared expression.

Don't be arrogant. He is just an ordinary newcomer. The results he has now are only obtained by plagiarism. Don't be self-righteous!

Just when he was about to finish reading all the fan letters, Komachi also returned from his neighbor's house.

"Onii-chan, this can't be the so-called fan letter!"

The younger sister came up quickly, and the first thing she saw was the letter on the table.

"Yes."

He replied.

"Onii-chan, can I take a look?"

Komachi asked for his opinion.

"If you want to take a look, take a look."

He said without even looking up.

It's not a secret worth protecting.

"This is too exaggerated! So the image of Onii-chan in my mind is actually like this in the eyes of others? I only dare to imagine it in my dreams, oh my, the best in the world..."

Komachi praised it.
