“Let go! You’re going to die right now!”

“Now, calm down for a moment and talk…”

“What kind of story is this? There’s nothing more to talk about about that dark history!”

Lily, trembling in my arms, seemed half-conscious.

It seems like he was deeply hurt by the fact that people he met for the first time knew about his dark history.

“Volume 15, can you write it for me?”

“···yes?”

Honestly, I didn’t know how to say it, so I just said it.

I need to resolve this in some way. I do not know.

“Volumes 1 and 15…?”

“Well, there is one person who was deeply impressed by your novel.”

“Are you impressed by my notes?”

“Hmm. I read up to volume 14, and they said it was really fun. They said they really wanted to see it through to the end.”

I told the truth.

However, it was not said who wanted it. I feel like if I knew who it was, it would never come.

“···Are you crazy? Who likes that? That type combination?”

driving me crazy.

Surely it’s not what I think?

“No, there really is someone who likes your writing. I’m sure because I saw it.”

“Don’t lie. There’s no way anyone would like that kind of trash.”

Ah, this is for sure.

This is it. My sick.

“Why do you think that?”

“Isn’t it obvious? There’s no way it’s good to write down a delusion from your childhood like that. Don’t remind me of it. It’s embarrassing…”

I wonder if he wrote down 14 novels worth of his childhood delusions…

In some ways, he is a really great guy.

“By the way, where did you find it? I threw it away somewhere no one knows.”

“You mean far away, deep in the forest?”

“How can that?!”

I think this kid has done enough.

A place that would take a full day even by carriage.

From there, it’s about a day’s walk to the elf village with the World Tree.

Even though the World Tree has extremely long roots, it is certain that it was buried some distance away from this village.

…The problem is that the World Tree was really unlucky enough to discover it.

“There is someone who accidentally discovered your buried creation. I would like to see the complete version of your novel and revised version of your comic.”

“···revision?”

“Well, what is it? That’s the content of your comic. Two girls are dating, and a guy suddenly comes in. There was an opinion that that wasn’t a good idea.”

In layman’s terms, it’s a man intruding.

When you enter a subculture community, related stories sometimes appear.

People who strongly dislike that kind of thing get into a fight when they see related content.

“Why is that? There shouldn’t be a problem with the content. You wouldn’t know if I couldn’t draw it or express it.”

“···Isn’t the novel you wrote a cartoon you drew?”

“Is that correct?”

What is this guy?

…Don’t the people who write novels like that hate male intrusion the most?

“Isn’t it a problem for a girl-girl couple to fall in love with the guy?”

“It sucks. Is it a problem?”

I guess I’m screwed.

Now that I think about it, he is a believer in love.

It seems like they would rather be happy and settle down even if they were raped.

Would it be possible to make a revised version of this guy whose mind is controlled by sexual desire?

“No, I never said I would do it in the first place…”

“A house.”

“yes?”

“I’ll buy you a house in Aven City. Is that okay?”

“What do you believe in? You don’t even know who you are?”

Does it happen like this?

Then there is nothing we can do. I have no choice but to use what I have.

“···This?”

“It is the seal of Lord Aben. How about this?”

“Please just order me anything, master.”

After all, money and power are the best.

I forgot the seal I received when I entered the magic city and didn’t return it, so I just kept it.

I can’t believe the day will come when I will use it like this. After all, you don’t know anything about people.

“···By the way, I’m sorry, but I forgot everything. I think I should read it again.”

“Don’t worry about that. We’ll take you to the client.”

“Even if that is resolved, there are still problems. We have to think about how to revise it, so it will be difficult right now.”

“How long will it take?”

“Uh, that’s… a month?”

It’s too long.

I don’t want to rot here for that long.

Even now, a fire was burning in the distance along with a faint vibration.

What happened again?

Everyone was panicking, but Lily’s calm appearance without any reaction seemed natural, as if this was everyday life.

I looked at that and thought again. After all, a month is a long time…

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

“Yes, please do so.”

I stopped talking with Lily and started discussing with my colleagues.

“I don’t want to stay here for a month. What do you think?”

“I agree. Wouldn’t it be right to finish as quickly as possible and go back?”

“But what should I do? If I can’t think of it, there’s nothing I can do. There’s no way.”

“···No, there is a way.”

Yuna’s words drew attention to her.

She flinched for a moment at the sudden attention, but then explained the method again.

“Wouldn’t it be okay for us to give our opinions? It would be much faster than thinking about it on our own.”

That’s a valid idea.

Rather than thinking about developments alone, it will be much faster if we all think together.

I recalled the general plot from Yuna’s words.

Um, what was it?

Was it about a man kidnapping two women at the same time at the moment when two girls were slowly starting to show their deep affection for each other?

···How do I fix this?

If you think of it as a completely different revision, it will take much more time.

Is there a way to get out of here as quickly as possible and write the next episode?

How to keep this story intact and get rid of the man in a plausible way…

ah.

I remembered.

“Huh? Airi? Where are you going?”

Plop, plod.

Lily walked over to the table where she was resting and sat down.

“Oh, are you finished already?”

“Hmm. . . . If we develop the content like this, wouldn’t it be possible without having to modify the content?”

I said a thought that suddenly occurred to Lily.

She was apathetic at first, but she gradually began to show interest in what I was saying, and soon after I finished speaking, her face turned red.

“Are you a genius? A genius! How could you even think like that! I couldn’t even imagine it!”

“What do you think is possible?”

“It’s possible! My God, I can’t believe there was such a way. I feel inadequate as a believer in love! . . . Do you ever plan to believe in our God?”

“does not exist.”

“Hmm. I think I would believe her if she were to be a saint of our god. If you ever become interested, please come to the temple. Everyone will be welcome.”

···It’s a compliment, right?

It’s obviously a compliment, but why do I feel so bad?

I felt like I was being criticized for being a pervert.

“Where should we go?! Let’s go now! For one house!”

“You’ll find out when you go.”

“Is it secrecy? Okay, I understand, Mom!”

Did he sense that the story was over?

Lily leisurely left the room and spoke to Lily’s mother who was approaching her.

“I’m going to go out with my friends for a bit and come back. It might take a few days!”

“Oh my god, are you going on a trip?”

“···Yeah, well. It’s similar, right?”

“Have a nice trip. Oh my, I can’t believe I get to see you out with your friends.”

“Oh, stop it! I’m all grown up too!”

“Ladies, please take good care of our child.”

“···all right.”

What kind of treatment is this at home?

I can’t believe I even heard from my parents that I don’t have any friends.

Now that I think about it, the story that World Tree roughly explained is about a friendless girl who becomes entangled with a bad girl and becomes close with her.

no way···?

“···? What is it? Why do you look at me like that?”

“No, it’s nothing. Let’s go.”

Hasty judgment is prohibited.

I tried to think that way, but I kept thinking that what I was thinking was right.

***

“Oh, he’s the kid who buried the novel. Why did you bring him here?”

I stopped the shaking Lily in front of me and told the World Tree about the situation.

“Because it was this guy who wrote that. Wouldn’t it be better to write it right in front of your eyes?”

“Oh my god, I’m shocked that the writer was this kid.”

Lily seemed to feel pressured by Methuselah’s twinkling eyes looking at her.

When I told her that the client was World Tree as she was confused and asked where on earth I was going, it turned out to be like this from before.

Hehe, I didn’t call it a house for nothing.

From next time, if they call you expensive, question why they are doing that.

I opened my mouth to help as I saw him sweating coldly and rolling his eyes here and there to avoid eye contact.

“So, he said it’s been a while since he wrote it. He said he didn’t have a copy and wanted to read it again.”

“Okay. If it’s for the completion and revision of Tokiwaru.”

The World Tree lightly climbed up its body and brought out an armful of books.

Upon closer inspection, the ending seems a bit sloppy to be considered a book.

It wasn’t because it was buried in the ground, it was just a delusional note and it was clumsy.

At first, I couldn’t see the details because of the shocking situation.

“Oh, and the story of the comic is not modified.”

“···What? What do you mean?”

“It’s literally like that. The story goes on as is, without any modifications.”

“Did you forget what I told you? I said I didn’t like boys.”

I remember it clearly.

Because it was a scene I would never forget.

“There is a way to clean it up without affecting the story, so just wait.”

“…I’ll wait, but if I don’t like it, I’ll ask you to rewrite it.”

“I will do that. I hope you like it.”

To be honest, it was just something I said, but Lily liked it more than I expected, so my opinion was adopted.

It should work out.
