I write novels in Liyue

Hodaka Morishima, a boy with bruises on his face who had run away from home due to domestic violence, excitedly ran onto the deck while the crew wasn't paying attention.

"Domestic violence? Bruises?"

Bai Qing was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Fang Qiu was going to write a story about family?

A few days ago, I heard that Fang Qiu and Mr. Yun collaborated on a play about family.

Is the new book also about family?

Ok……

No, Fang Qiu only briefly mentioned Hodaka Morishima's past, without going into any further detail.

The book's theme is probably not family.

She continued looking down.

The endless dark clouds quickly closed in from all sides, and a drop of rain fell on Morishima Hodaka's face. Soon after, a torrential downpour began, and Morishima Hodaka, who was instantly soaked, ran excitedly on the deck in the rain.

The rain was pouring down. Just as Morishima Hodaka was excited about arriving at Inazuma Castle, the sky seemed to echo with the roar of sea monsters, and a torrential downpour like ocean waves suddenly crashed down, causing the entire ship to shake violently.

Hodaka Morishima lost his balance and slid off the boat.

If he fell into the sea, in this heavy rain, almost no one would notice him.

Just when things were getting dangerous, he was grabbed by an older man.

saved.

At the same time, the sky cleared up.

Bathed in the clear sunshine, Hodaka Morishima was "extorted" by his savior for the most expensive meal on the ship, as well as a very expensive drink.

Inazuma Castle is terrifying.

Hodaka Morishima said this.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qing couldn't help but smile.

As expected of Fang Qiu.

So quickly, they've established the image of a seemingly reliable but not quite reliable middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man could step forward to save a stranger at a critical moment, but after saving the person, he could also ask a teenager to treat him to the most expensive meal and drinks.

An interesting character design.

At the same time, she also felt a little strange.

This rain is too heavy!

However, since the book is called "Weathering With You," the heavy rain at the beginning should be related to the theme.

So she continued reading.

Finally, the ship arrived at Inazuma Castle.

When disembarking, during a conversation with the older man, he asked Morishima Hodaka what he was doing in Inatsume.

Hodaka Morishima told the uncle that he was visiting relatives and that their school had an early holiday.

The middle-aged man glanced at Hodaka Morishima, said nothing, but handed him a business card, telling him that he could come to him if he had any difficulties.

Through the business card, Hodaka Morishima learned the old man's name.

Keisuke Suga.

However, Hodaka Morishima was not visiting his relatives.

He ran away from home.

Upon arriving in Inazuma, Hodaka Morishima tries to find a job, but is rejected by all his employers because of his age.

At night, Hodaka Morishima walked alone on the street.

It was raining heavily.

Seeing him walking alone on the street, two soldiers from the Heavenly Commander's Office came forward to inquire about his situation.

To avoid being deported, Hodaka Morishima quickly fled, eventually taking shelter from the rain at the entrance of a pub.

"Inazuma Castle is terrifying, but I don't want to go back, I absolutely don't want to go back."

Hodaka Morishima gave the last of his food to a stray kitten, then lay down and fell asleep next to the garbage heap.

However, he was soon woken up by the noise.

There are two women and one man.

Hodaka Morishima quickly apologized, but as he tried to leave, the man deliberately tripped him.

When Hodaka Morishima fell, he knocked over a nearby trash can.

There was trash scattered all over the ground, and among the trash, he saw a sealed paper bag.

He carried the paper bag and walked all the way to a restaurant.

Sitting in the corner, he opened the paper bag, and a small, exquisite gun fell out.

"gun?"

Bai Qing was slightly taken aback.

She did know about guns; there were quite a few in the Winter Kingdom.

Not only are there guns that are a meter long, but there are also small guns like the one Fang Qiu is holding, which can be held in one hand.

This weapon, called a gun, has terrifying offensive capabilities. It is said that a single shot can shatter a door panel, and taking a person's life is a piece of cake.

Unexpectedly, Fang Qiu's new book actually touches on this kind of thing.

In the book, Hodaka Morishima quickly hid the gun. He glanced around at the people and, seeing that no one had noticed him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's probably just a toy."

Hodaka Morishima put the gun back in the paper bag and started drinking water.

Just then, a girl appeared in front of her and gave her some food.

The girl was an employee at the store.

The girl told him that she was giving him a free glass of water because she had seen him eating that free water for dinner for several days in a row.

Seeing the brightly smiling girl in Fang Qiu's writing, Bai Qing couldn't help but smile knowingly.

A few days ago, she went to see "Your Name" with her seniors and gained a basic understanding of animation.

Reading Fang Qiu's description is like seeing the girl smiling brightly at the boy in the animation.

For some reason, Bai Qing couldn't help but recall the scene of Morishima Hodaka feeding the cat.

They do look somewhat alike.

……

……

P.S.: It really hurts so much, it's both painful and itchy... I hope everyone can forgive me. After the IV is finished and I take a nap, I'll see if I can finish this post...

Chapter 272 Fang Qiu is about to use his knife again.

Unlike "Your Name", "Weathering With You" is very depressing in its tone.

This sense of oppression stems not only from the constant downpour in the book and the protagonist's predicament, but also from Fang Qiu's exceptionally excellent writing style.

Even after Morishima Hodaka found Suga Keisuke, who had saved him, and joined Suga Keisuke's studio, the wonderful time he spent there was only a small warmth amidst the repression.

In the book, Inazuma Castle is as indifferent as a torrential downpour.

When Hodaka Morishima was about to throw the gun back into the pub's trash can.

He saw the girl who had given him food that night being dragged into the shop by the young man who had tripped him that night, with a malicious look on her face.

So, Hodaka Morishima stepped forward and took the girl away.

After a chase, Morishima Hoko fired a shot.

The gun was real, and the young man was terrified.

The girl quickly took Morishima Hodaka away.

It turns out the girl wanted to find a job because she had been fired from the restaurant.

However, after calming down, the girl realized that if it weren't for Hodaka Morishima, she would have already gone astray.

To express his gratitude.

On the top of an abandoned building with a shrine, the girl demonstrated her miraculous abilities to Hodaka Morishima.

"Hey, from now on, the sky will clear up."

The girl clasped her hands together and began to pray.

Thanks to the girl's prayers, the previously overcast sky cleared up.

It was like a miracle.

As the sky cleared, Fang Qiu's writing also seemed to brighten, becoming lighter and clearer.

Upon seeing this, Bai Qing was somewhat shocked.

Fang Qiu's commonly used techniques.

It is foreseeable that after meeting Hina Amano, Hodaka Morishima's world will become brighter.

A very professional writing style.

First suppress, then elevate.

By suppressing the reader's emotions before Hodaka Morishima's encounter with the girl, the author then releases these heightened emotions through changes in the writing style, the weather, and Hodaka's changing mood at that moment after the encounter.

There are many advantages to writing it this way.

It can amplify the reader's emotions to a greater extent and enhance the reader's sense of immersion.

It can also enhance the reader's impression of the plot.
