Chapter 23

Although in his eyes, this child has been smart since childhood, but in fact, he is a fool, because Komachi's test scores are very poor.

Every time she takes the report card home, the atmosphere at dinner will be particularly bad. It's not that the Hikigaya couple blames her, but Komachi herself will feel guilty, but this self-blame will not last too long, because she is used to the fact that she is actually a fool.

After watching the family's affairs, Hikigaya Hachiman felt that he had some understanding, because interpersonal relationships and emotional changes are also indispensable parts of novel creation, and the reference of reality will make the emotions in the text more real.

In addition to the understanding, he thought of tomorrow's events.

Such a post appeared in a famous novel forum.

"The third volume of "Summer Returns" will be released tomorrow!"

The following reply came soon.

"Shadow Ushio written by Tsukiro-sensei is so cute!"

"Am I the only one who likes the big sister whose pen name is Nanyun Ryunosuke?"

"Ah, I can't wait any longer, I really want to know the plot!"

"I hope Tsukiro-sensei won't do that anymore! He's too harsh!"

"I hope Ushio can have a chance to revive."

Being able to occupy a place in the forum directly shows that the popularity of "Summer Reappearance" has risen to a certain point, and the reviews are not bad.

Hikigaya Hachiman dares to guarantee that if someone recommends Miss Yamada's "The Exploding Dark Fairy", the comments below will definitely not be so friendly.

Thinking of this, his mood became better.

This day ended quickly and a new day came.

At the back of a relatively large bookstore, a vehicle carrying the third volume of "Summer Reappearance" arrived, and the staff hurriedly moved the novel into the bookstore.

While waiting for the opening time, many people at the door had already rushed to read the story they wanted to read as soon as possible.

36 Climax of the plot

"Why are there so many people today?"

Outside the bookstore, a sneaky figure was observing the crowd, wearing an earth-colored hat that hides his long hair, black-framed glasses, and classic house-style bib pants and a light pink shirt.

Today, Eriri is in disguise.

There is no way, these hobbies will make her not blend in with the crowd, which is something she has realized since elementary school, so in order to avoid being recognized by familiar people, she has to dress like this.

Today is Saturday, and she went out early in the morning to buy the third volume of "Summer Returns", but today's sales are more lively than she thought. Many people came earlier than her, and even lined up in front of the bookstore.

"Is it necessary? This is not a book signing event! Why are you in such a hurry!"

With her hands folded on her chest, Eriri leaned against the wall and muttered to herself.

This is actually quite normal. A hot-selling work is scattered all over the country. The stock of a bookstore is limited, so as not to fail to sell it. If it is sold out, you have to go to another bookstore to buy it, or wait for the boss to continue to restock.

This is the nearest bookstore near her home. Maybe you can buy it quickly in other places, or you may have to queue up. She has encountered similar situations before, so she is a little headache.

"Why don't you just ask someone to buy one for me?"

Eriri looked over and found that there were women in the crowd, so she approached and negotiated to buy it at double the price.

Fortunately, the people in the queue at present could not buy all the stock, otherwise, her actions would definitely attract everyone's eyes of common hatred.

"Huh, I got it!"

Eriri walked to the corner, happily raised the light novel, then put it in her handbag, and went straight home.

Eriri couldn't wait to turn the pages of the book, wanting to know the suspense left at the end of the second volume, that is, what kind of secrets existed in the mobile phone left by Chao.

After opening his phone, Shinpei found a video left by Chao, in which Chao and Shadow Chao were getting along very happily.

"Everything started with Shiori..."

From Chao's mouth, everything about the birth of Shadow Chao and the replacement of Shiori by Shadow was presented to Shinpei.

Because of the story presented in the phone, there is no doubt about the existence of Shadow Chao. With the opening of this video, Shadow Chao also recovered his memory and combat power, and presented the story that happened after that to Shinpei.

"So there is such a secret...ah!? It can be like this."

Eri suddenly exclaimed.

Because in the opened memory, the shadow that became Shiori actually grabbed Shinpei, the observer who did not exist at that time.

It was this plot that scared her.

First of all, the previous atmosphere was rendered particularly weird and inexplicably terrifying, and the accident at this time intensified the suspense, and people who saw it broke out in cold sweat.

"Is what I'm reading actually a horror novel? Why is it so scary?"

Eri wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, took a deep breath, and continued reading.

After learning about the past, Wangdai Shinping naturally wanted to investigate the old site of the hospital and find clues related to the shadows, so as to make his deduction more comprehensive.

This is not a smooth road after all. After solving a shadow, more shadows appeared in front of them.

Obviously, they are gradually approaching the monster's lair!

A single move can affect the whole body. Due to various factors, the people related to it also entered the world of the sewer and fought with the monsters.

"Is this the decisive battle? Is it going to end? It can't be that simple."

Eri Li was thinking in her heart and had a bad premonition.

Could it be that they will be wiped out again this time?

Her premonition soon showed a trend of verification. Zhu Luzi's betrayal and the sudden appearance of the four-handed shadow made the situation take a sharp turn for the worse.

Under Zhu Luzi's leadership, at the bottom of the cave, Wangdai Shinping appeared in front of a loli girl who looked like she had white hair and red eyes.

She is the leech god 'Hadame' of Hitoshima, the mother of the shadows, and the monster that killed Ushio, killed Mio, and swallowed up the entire island...

"So this guy is pretending to be Shiori's shadow! The boss has always been around!?"

Eri felt the author's malice for no reason, and the protagonist only realized such an important thing now.

"Hmm? This illustration is well drawn, and it is smoother than other drawings. Is it in the comfort zone? Hadame looks cute, but it's a pity that she is actually just a demon who eats people... Well, for some people, cuteness is justice, and everything else doesn't matter."

Eri glanced at the illustration, commented on it, and then continued to read.

The end of the volume is the climax of the story!

Hadame needs to devour people to recover, so Ushio's body was naturally not cremated and was sent to her.

Because the shadow scan takes time, Shinpei, as a smart person, seized this only opportunity to help the controlled shadow Ushio scan the body and restore it to its complete form.

At this time, the most rational judgment is to recycle after getting the information and have a better start.

But facing this situation, Wangdai Shinping and Shadow Tide were equally angry.

So Wangdai Shinping decided to die in the battle.

But this seems to be a wrong judgment. The return of the super-powerful four-handed shadow made the situation that could have been tried to fight become extremely dangerous again.

Moreover, the opponent deliberately did not kill Wangdai Shinping first because he knew the time loop.

If nothing unexpected happened, the controlled Wangdai Shinping could not go back to the past.

But fortunately, the big sister appeared in time and shot a bullet in time. Although he did not restart directly, he also let him get rid of control and had time to swallow poison to commit suicide and restart the cycle.

Ⅲ义而霸衣斯亦彡叔

Not only that, Shadow Tide's power also evolved in the competition with Bodao.

The two returned to the past together.

"In other words, you are a time traveler..."

The scene turned and returned to the time when Wangdai Shinping and his two comrades formed an alliance. Nanyun Ryunosuke's expression changed differently.

"Yes, I just came back from the future."

With the words of Wangdai Shinpei, Shadow Tide appeared out of nowhere.

The fifth cycle will begin from here!

"Reversal, reversal, and reversal again! This is too exciting!"

Eri's face flushed with excitement.

She was not the only one so excited. She felt that other people also had goose bumps when they saw this part.

She understood why, because the villain was not just a moving wooden stake like in many works. He had no brains except for his fighting ability, and "Summer Reappearance" obviously gave the villain an IQ, making the game between the two sides more exciting.

"Well, three volumes have passed, and the quality of Tsukiro-sensei has been maintained. It's time to recommend this work to everyone."

After Eriri felt that her mood had calmed down, she remembered her previous thoughts.

37 Works I recommend

Eri logged into her Twitter account named "Kashiwagi Eri" and sent a message.

"Hello everyone, I'm here to recommend a work to you again today! Recently, I fell in love with a suspense novel called "Summer Reappears". The story is very well written and involves time loops, which are relatively rare in the industry. In addition to the brilliant battle of wits between the pros and cons, the cute heroine and the heroic elder sister are believed to be the types that everyone likes. If you are interested in this kind of work, don't miss it. I can guarantee that "Summer Reappears" will not disappoint you! 』

In the past year, Kashiwagi Eri has gradually established a foothold in the inner world and is considered a popular teacher. Although the circle of book painters is small in itself, her account has already attracted 130,000 followers without her noticing, and her popularity is even higher than "Moonlight is Beautiful".

So when she posted the information, there were soon more comments below.

"First, the squatting was successful! As soon as the teacher sent the message, your loyal guard arrived immediately!"

"Tsk, I thought the teacher was going to publish a new work, but it turned out that he just recommended a light novel. I had to put my pants back on."

"None of this matters. What will the teacher draw next? Otherwise, something retro, how about Sakura and Tomoyo!"

"Teacher Kashiwagi Eri, so you also..."

"Thank you for the invitation. I have finished reading it. I didn't expect that the teacher's taste is the same as mine. This is indeed a good work and worth recommending to everyone."

"Since you have recommended it so much, I will support the sales. I hope you won't let me down."

In addition to Eriri's excited applause for the content of this third volume and her recommendation on the spot, other readers who have been waiting for a long time did the same.

The ups and downs of this volume are really exciting.

It also makes the comment section of the official website more lively.

"That's all right now. Shadow Shio is actually no different from Shio. It's just a pity that the real Shio is dead. We could have had double the happiness..."

"Fuck, Shiori's shadow really scared me. Why did Tsukiro-sensei write it so scary? I'm reading a suspense novel, not a horror novel!"

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that Hata is Shiori's shadow. No wonder she caught the hero with one hand and left a mark. I guess this is also a foreshadowing, right? After all, Hata has another eye, right?"

"Isn't this situation too difficult? Even if they reincarnate once, the difference in combat power is still a bit too big. That four-handed shadow almost completely defeated everyone by himself. Next, we must deal with this guy first. I guess that's it."

"Damn, why did Eromanga-sensei draw Hata like that! White hair and red eyes, so right for me xp."

"The above, as long as you look cute, you are willing to be a bainen? I will eat you up in one bite."

"It almost ended. These days, there are not many villains with brains. And with the protagonist's halo, Shinpei is really brave to swallow poison directly!"

"The scene at the end of the volume gave me goosebumps, and I was immersed in it unconsciously."

"Tsukiiro-sensei's creation is great! The third volume still maintains a high level of performance, and even slightly improved, with a full sense of immersion."

"I finished it so quickly? Oh, Tsukiiro-sensei has been updating fast enough, but I can't get any satisfaction at all."

Hikigaya Hachiman also logged on to the website and secretly observed the readers' reactions. Seeing that there were more good reviews, he was instantly satisfied and his heart was filled with joy.

Facts have proved that his appreciation ability and Ms. Machida's judgment are not problematic.

If the quality of the article itself is not good, before the work is sent out, there will be some vague feeling, and his polishing will still be successful.

Of course, the market is still a metaphysics, not every work before the big hit will be optimistic, there are exceptions to everything.

Just when he was secretly happy, Miss Yamada suddenly asked him to video chat.

"What's wrong, Miss Yamada, do you want to talk to me about novels again?"

Hikigaya Hachiman smiled slightly, with a firm look.

"You are too arrogant! Who said that I must talk to you about novels! Narcissistic Hikigaya!"

Yamada Fairy folded his hands, looked at the screen with his head down, and said arrogantly.

"What else can it be? What problem did Miss Yamada encounter again?"
