Machete Style Anime

Then she asked in a low voice, "I remember when I recommended works to Hui before, she was always uninterested. Why is she suddenly so interested in light novels?"

Kato Megumi casually turned the page of the novel and said indifferently, "I was bored and wanted to read something."

Yinglili: "..."

This statement is, of course, a lie.

Kato Megumi's past lack of interest in novels was less about not being interested in them and more about not waiting for the person who would introduce her to the world of anime, comics, and games (ACG).

It wasn't until that day, when she found the familiar name Asuka in the Shinazugawa Bunko, that she picked up the novel again.

While absentmindedly flipping through the books and half-heartedly answering her friend's questions, Kato Megumi's mind had already drifted far away.

"Asuka... I remember in my past life he mentioned that the name didn't originate from Shin Asuka in Ultraman Dyna, as many netizens have speculated, but rather from Tagore's 'Stray Birds'."

"If that's the case, then he might also be the author of 'Wandering Witch's Journey,' Shingetsu?"

"After all, I don't remember such an author from my past life, and coincidentally, it corresponds to Tagore's 'The Crescent Moon'."

However, this led to new problems and caused Kato Megumi great distress.

Why doesn't he use the same pen name when publishing his works?

"Judging by his typing speed, there shouldn't be any worry about him being late and getting cornered by editors, right?"

This is where Kato Megumi fell into a misconception.

As is well known, Japanese light novel authors, regardless of their industry experience, have one thing in common: they will never update ahead of schedule if they can delay the manuscript.

Many works are serialized for several years or even decades, and it's hard to say whether the plot has progressed to half its intended stage.

Yes, there is absolutely no intention to name any particular Detective Conan world here.

Kasugano Mirai was a web novelist in China in her previous life, so her writing speed was naturally much faster than that of Japanese light novel authors, who were generally lazy.

Unfortunately, people can be lazy sometimes!

What if one day I want to play mahjong like Togashi or Aoyama, and readers send me razor blades or come knocking on my door?

As the saying goes, when you're out in the game, how can you be without an alternate account?

Thus, the small version came into being.

It's Asuka (New Moon) who's been late with updates, what does that have to do with me, New Moon (Asuka)?!

The only drawback is that the editor knows he has two aliases, which could lead to him being blacklisted.

However, it's not a big problem; even a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

When he filled out the author information, he wrote the Kasugano family address, not his current address in Chiba, so there's no need to worry about that.

Even if the editor found out his address in Chiba from his parents, it wouldn't be a big problem. When he was being pressured to submit his manuscript, he could have taken refuge at the Tokisaki family's house. He hadn't told anyone that address.

It can only be said that Kasugano Mirai is being somewhat inhumane, already considering delays and missed updates before even publishing her work.

As for why there are no delays or missed updates... it's impossible for a new employee to slack off from the very beginning of their job!

I need to perform well for a while, right?

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………

The Tokisaki family.

After the Queen fainted, Kasugano Mirai carried the girl to the sofa, told the two little ones to take good care of her, and then turned to clean up the messy dining table.

While he was cleaning, the two little ones secretly observed him.

"Yoshino, if you like the future brother's cooking skills, why not try to get him to come over and cook for you every day?"

Upon hearing Yoshino's words, Yoshino's face showed a hint of interest.

After all, Kasugano Mirai's cooking is absolutely delicious!

However, after thinking about it carefully for a while, she gently shook her head and said softly, "...I'd rather not."

"I'm very busy right after the start of the semester, so it's best not to bother Future Bro."

Upon hearing this, Yoshina's face displayed a rather human-like expression of disappointment.

"If Yoshino continues to be so awful, be careful that the future young man isn't snatched away by Kurumi and Nanami."

The Seven Sins, innocently shot: "..."

"Yoshino, don't drag me into this!"

"I would never want that pervert who takes advantage of girls the moment we meet!"

If Kasugano Mirai herself hadn't been present, and if Nanami hadn't had some reservations, the rebuttal would definitely have been much stronger.

Seeing Nanami's face flushed red, whether from embarrassment or anger, Yoshina kept grinning mischievously: "Oh ho ho~ Really?"

"Does Miss Seven Sins really have absolutely no feelings for her future boyfriend?"

Faced with the attack launched by the rogue rabbit, Seven Sins, who had just been looking like she was going to interrogate him, suddenly wilted and turned her face away uncomfortably, stammering, "...It's normal for him to take responsibility for what he took advantage of, right?"

Seeing her reaction, the mischievous rabbit said meaningfully, "Miss Seven Sins, no need to explain~ I understand~"

Upon hearing this, Seven Sins's face became even more radiant, more captivating than the cherry blossoms fluttering outside the window.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Living in Seclusion, Yet Not Alone

Embarrassed by the words of the mischievous rabbit, Seven Sins looked out the window at the cherry blossoms fluttering in the air, her thoughts wandering.

……

'hentai!'

"A pervert who takes advantage of girls on their first meeting!"

"Sorry, sorry, it was really just an accident!"

"Also, the Seven Sins are actually quite cute~"

……

"...Don't think I'll forgive you just because you say nice things!"

"I know I'm just stating my true feelings."

……

"You've just arrived in this world, so you probably don't have a place to stay yet, right?"

"If you don't mind, leave it to me."

……

"Hello, my name is Seven Sins... Are you staring at me because you think I'm short and ugly?"

No way!

"Natsumi is just as cute as Yoshino!"

……

Kurumi?

"You and Kurumi have two different styles, each with its own beauty."

……

"...Was this dress bought for me?"

"Yes! Hurry up and try it on!"

……

"Looking at it this way, Nanami and Yoshino really do look like sisters, except for their hair and eye colors!"

"Hentai! Don't you dare lay a finger on Yoshino!"

"So, it's okay to have designs on you?"

"...(blushing) You really are a hentai!"

……

"Huh? Can I really become an illustrator?"

Of course!

"Please, Seven Sins!"

"...I understand! Don't complain later~ (lacking confidence)"

……

"Oh? 'The Witch's Journey'?"

"Could this work by Future-san be based on the Seven Sins?"

"(Stealing a glance) Kurumi, don't joke around. How could a girl as short and small as me, and not even that pretty, possibly be the heroine?"

"...It was created based on the Seven Deadly Sins!"

"Did you hesitate just now, Mirai-san?"

"Future Guy, I remember you told Yoshino that when information is exchanged between worlds, some people can capture that information, process it themselves, and present it in the form of novels, movies, and so on."

"You hesitated just now...you weren't lying to Miss Seven Sins, were you?"

"Yoshina is partly right; the content of the work originally intended for submission and publication was indeed not this."

"Originally? You mean not now?"

"Didn't I just say that?"

"Create a work based on the Seven Sins, so she'll know how popular she is."

Of course, to avoid revealing personal information, appearance, name, and other details will definitely be changed.

……

"Will it still be released under the name Asuka?"

"No! This time, use the new moon!"
