All the editors and authors were dumbfounded!

"Burning Ikaros?"

"The Icarus who wrote The Four Lies?"

"I remember him because he wrote his final work, 'Plastic Memories', which satisfied the old man!"

"First, he defeated Yamada Fairy and was elected the Rookie of the Year. Then, the release of Four Lies helped him carve out a path in the crackdown by major library companies in May!~"

"Now, the article "Firefly Forest" has once again suppressed the thirty people in the finals. This feeling makes me go back to the village expedition era three years ago!"

"Teacher Ikaros, this is a rising star in the field of light novels!"

"I thought this novel was definitely written by an old guy who had been famous for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be a new star who just debuted in Dengeki Bunko!"

No wonder everyone is so surprised!

They couldn't guess that the author of "The Secret World of Hotaru no Mori" was Ikaros, one reason being that Mr. Ikaros was still a newcomer overall.

And novels and short stories!

It's something completely different.

Moreover, authors have different creative habits, in addition to their writing habits.

There are also certain habits in the design of the plot!

From what I have seen so far, "Four Lies" is a complete music healing story.

Arima has been saved by the heroine Xiaoxun.

Gradually walking out of the deep sea.

It’s not finished yet though!

But the way the plot is going to go, it's impossible for the male lead to be killed, it doesn't make sense!

however!

In "Firefly", Icarus further broke through the creative habit of the plot structure of the first volume of "Four Lies" in terms of plot design.

Although thinking back carefully.

"Firefly" seems to have many similarities with "Four Lies" in terms of writing habits.

For example, in some special sentences, they prefer to use more obscure and concise Chinese characters rather than the more popular Katakana.

But this is a hard habit of traditional novelists and short story writers.

Many of the thirty works also had this habit, so they didn't pay much attention to it at first.

Unless it’s just that kind of multiple reading!

Only those who have memorized the author's personal words can tell the difference.

But Ikaros he as a newcomer!

I'm afraid no reader would do that.

Then in this case!

He created such an amazing short and medium-length novel "The Firefly Forest".

That’s why everyone thinks he is so awesome!

The author of the third place, "The Quiet Academic Girlfriend", Mr. Baichuan, suddenly expressed his feelings on Instagram:

“It’s really surprising that Icarus won the grand prize, but I really like Four Lies and Firefly. I’m looking forward to Icarus bringing more surprises in the field of novels.”

Followed by.

Ino, who competed with Yamada Fairy for the fourth place, also said: "Teacher Ikaros is the next Senjumura Masaru of Dengeki Bunko!"

It's not just them!

Wow wow wow wow.

Thirty writers participating in the competition!

After the names were fully revealed, it was discovered that there were many famous people even in the ordinary group.

They also voiced their opinions on X, IG, and forums:

"With this kind of score, who would have guessed that it was written by the newcomer Ikaros, but I have to admit that "The Firefly Forest" is an excellent short story. I lose!"

"I'm glad that there is such a talented new writer in the field of light novels. The second Tenshoumura Masaru!"

"I debuted at the same time as Mr. Ikaros, and I have always been following Mr. Ikaros. Whether it is novels, animation scripts, or short stories, he can write such excellent works every time he enters this field. He is indeed a genius!"

"Hey, my daughter really likes Four Lies written by Ikaros. When it was first released, she went to many stores to buy it. She said it was her second favorite author. Of course, the first one is of course me, the father. But I also remembered this new writer at the time, thinking that I would still compete with him in my daughter's heart. But I didn't expect that I would lose to him in the short stories that I am best at so soon. I don't know if I will still be the first in my daughter's heart after this incident. Ah, sad. The pressure Ikaros has felt since his debut is indeed comparable to that of Mr. Senjumura Masaru three years ago."

"..."

Let’s go back a few minutes in time.

noon.

Bunkyo District.

In a room of a luxurious apartment, Nayuta finally emerged from the bed.

She stretched lazily, fully showing off her fair skin and youthful curves.

"jingle--"

At this time, the doorbell rang.

"Hey, Nayuta-sensei, get up and wash up and eat!"

"I brought you lunch."

The electronic doorbell rang with the voice of editor-in-chief Kobayashi Chinatsu.

I have long been accustomed to the treatment of a pillar writer where the editor acts as a nanny.

Nayuta opened the door for him.

"Today, the list of the Hakusen Society Grand Prize has been finalized. The names of the authors and the ranking of the awards will be announced."

"It's a bit unfortunate that we won the gold prize, but let's try harder next time."

"By the way, Hakusen Society wants us to write a thank you note..."

Nayuta suddenly thought of something and quickly slammed the table and asked:

"Hey, Miss Chinatsu."

"Don't rush to say your thanks, do you know who the author of "Firefly Forest" is?"

Although the finals have just begun!

It has been more than a week, but she still blushes when she thinks about it.

She wants to see it!

Who made her bear the blame?

"Hey, it's out." Kobayashi Chinatsu hesitated and said in a low voice.

"who is it?"

"Burning Ikaros."

"Who is this?"

The girl frowned and immediately recalled which old author this was.

It suddenly dawned on me.

"It's him!!!"

The girl's face was immediately filled with indignation, and she slammed the table.

When she finished reading "The Secret World of Fireflies", she thought in her heart that the other party was an old author.

But I didn’t expect it to be the newcomer.

Of course she knew Ikaros, in fact Hideaki Ikuhara had always kept her work as a backup.

If Mr. Ikuhara really can't find any works, he will probably use her work as his final work.

But we all know the result!

Mr. Ikuhara chose "Plastic Memories" by Ikaros.

For this result!

Ker Nayuta's eyes widened with anger. The feeling of being robbed again was extremely strong.

"Damn Ikaros, I will take back what I lost with my own hands!!!"

Korinayuta pouted and slammed the table angrily.

Xiaobayashi Chinatsu stopped talking and said:

"Teacher Ke'er, people on the Internet say he is a genius, the second Senshou Village Seiji!"

Karina Yuta's mind was filled with memories of "The Firefly Forest" and "The Four Lies".

She looked at Xiaolin Chinatsu with her beautiful eyes, sneered with her hands behind her back:

"Ikaros will not be the second Senju Murasaki, he will surpass Senju Murasaki. He will just be himself."

GAGA Library, Editorial Department.

Editor in charge!

Toki Kentaro also sighed!

If nothing unexpected happens, it doesn't matter whether the author did it intentionally or not.

The performance of "The Fireflies in the Forest" at this grand award will become a classic operation example in their novel world.

"I don't know which library arranged for a top-notch writer to do this."

Hashima Itsuki glanced at Toki Kentaro:

“Not a pillar writer, but a burning Ikaros.”

"Bah bah bah!"

Toki Kentaro said dissatisfied:

"Mr. Hashima, didn't you read the prediction posts online? Most of them said that Ikaros would be ranked 12th. And judging from the direction of the subject matter, it couldn't possibly be "Firefly Forest". You wouldn't have developed card phobia just because you lost once, right?"

He remembered that the other party had behaved in the same way during the Oricon Chart dispute in May.

Hashima Itsuki is good in every way, except that she is too much of a sister complex and too unconfident.

Seeing Hashima Itsuki like this.

Kentaro shook his head and patted his shoulder:

"Teacher Hashima, I know that I arranged for you to suppress Ikaros last time, and your loss was a big blow to you."

"But you also know that everyone's creative state is like a wave. Even Nobel Prize-winning writers can't always be at their peak."

"I think it's not that Mr. Ikaros isn't amazing, but after all, there's only one copy of The Four Lies, and he still has to prove himself."

Hashima Itsuki chuckled, and suddenly looked mysterious:

"Ikaros phobia? Attack? I really think it's okay. Jianjian, you don't know how evil Ikaros is."

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Juedao has a surprise."

"I'm going to eat first."

Hashima Izuki waved his hand in a Buddhist manner and said goodbye.

"Ikaros? Evil?"

“Not so mysterious, right?”

Toki Kentaro looked at Hashima Itsuki's background and frowned slightly.

He really didn't believe it.

He quickly logged into the Hakusen Society website and began to refresh the official announcement push.
