In this crossover anime, Yoshikage Kira longs for a peaceful life.

The only problem is that the pen name is really too strange.

Yuna Shimazaki hesitated for a moment, then sent a message to Yoshikage Kira:

"Kira-kun, is there any special purpose behind these pen names?"

-----------------

"No."

Apartment 502, 117 Towang-ga, Daejeon-gu.

Yoshikage Kira gave a brief reply.

But it does exist.

He spent two hours selecting the light novels he wanted to 'create'.

The only criterion for selection is that it cannot disturb his peaceful life!

So he first gave up Sword Art Online and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and instead chose Accel World.

Since the first two works are set in modern times, the characters in them may actually exist in this world. And once these people see these two works, they will take them as some kind of 'prophecy'.

If this were to actually happen, his peaceful life would inevitably be disrupted.

Therefore, Accel World, a work set in the future and which has actually won a major award, is undoubtedly the best choice.

The same reasoning applies to the selection of the other two works.

For example, "Kino's Journey," a story that takes place entirely in a fictional world, poses absolutely no risk of disturbing his peaceful life.

As for "Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-", since the story is about a modern person who is transported to another world, in order to avoid the risk of having the same name, Yoshikage Kira replaced the ignorant, incompetent, and reckless protagonist Subaru with Giorno Giovanna, who dreams of becoming a folk dance star.

This may cause some differences in the details of the story, but the general plot will not change.

of course.

The strange pen name also stemmed from this; Yoshikage Kira originally wanted to use a member of the Joe family as his pen name.

However, this also carries the risk of the Qiao family coming to their door.

Although Yoshikage Kira has confirmed that the SPW Foundation does not exist in this world—

For ordinary people, the people they are most likely to come into contact with in their lives are not the Joe family, nor vampires, nor Stand users, but the SPW Foundation, a behemoth that affects every aspect of people's lives!

Since the SPW Foundation does not exist, the possibility of the Joe family existing is also very low.

But if the Qiao family really exists, they will most likely come knocking on their door after seeing a pen name that is the same as their own.

This situation was also within Kira Yoshikage's expectations.

So he abandoned his original idea and decided to be more 'euphemistic' in choosing a pen name.

The only direct connection is with Giorno Giovanna, the protagonist in Re:Zero who replaced Subaru.

But this was something Yoshikage Kira did intentionally.

First of all, the premise for being approached is that Giorno Giovanna actually exists.

Secondly, if Giorno Giovanna is a real person, if he really came to our door...

Yoshikage Kira could also take this opportunity to confirm a few things—

For example, the fate of DIO, or which part of the timeline has progressed to.

After all, Giorno Giovanna was a name he acquired after his mother remarried, and by then DIO had been dead for several years.

The timeline related to Giorno Giovanna is Golden Wind from Part 5.

This way, Yoshikage Kira wouldn't have to worry about the threat from DIO; he only needed to figure out how to kill the priest.

Everyone else can be ignored, but DIO and the priest must die!

Because their goal will almost certainly disrupt Yoshikage Kira's peaceful life!

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Giorno Giovanna is a real person.

Even assuming that Giorno really exists, it's highly unlikely that he, living far away in Italy, would read Japanese light novels. Even if he did, he would simply assume it was a coincidence.

Compared to the potential gains, this risk is worth taking.

Of course, there was no need to tell Shimazaki Yuna about these private considerations.

Ding~!

Kira Yoshikage's cell phone rang, pulling him back to reality.

He glanced down at the screen; it was a message from Yuna Shimazaki on LINE:

"Kira-kun, this is the illustration that's just been finished. Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Kira Yoshikage stared at the arrogant girl on the screen, dressed in the white IS Academy uniform, her long black hair styled in a ponytail, his eyes filled with amazement. Indeed, Shimazaki Yuna, with her slender, white hands like works of art, had not disappointed him.

As an artist, Yuna Shimazaki is impeccable in both speed and quality.

"It's very well drawn."

Yoshikage Kira thought for two seconds and replied:

"But we can add some details. Shinonono Houki's ponytail is loose; we can change it to a style with a forked middle..."

-----------------

Shimazaki Yuna carefully read through Kira Yoshikage's suggestions for revision, line by line, until she saw the last message:

"Of course, none of that matters."

"Most importantly, you focused too much on the slime and legs, which made Shinonono Houki's hands not drawn perfectly!"

"Huh?"

Yuna Shimazaki blinked.

Why hands?

Don't boys usually only focus on slimes and legs?

So, was all her hard work in perfecting the slime and legs actually a misdirection?

"Hmm~"

Yuna Shimazaki hesitated for a moment, then looked down at her palm.

Her hands are pretty, aren't they?

Yes, it should count.

Otherwise, things wouldn't have happened yesterday...

Shimazaki Yuna smelled her hand, and her pretty face turned bright red once again.

Chapter 13: I won't go unless...

Yuna Shimazaki actually already had an account on the Dengeki Bunko website.

Because in addition to the Dengeki Novel Prize, Dengeki Bunko also has the Dengeki Illustration Prize.

However, the rules for the illustration prize and the novel prize are slightly different. For the novel prize, the light novels submitted must be original works. For the illustration prize, the illustrations submitted can be original works or based on light novels already published by Dengeki Bunko.

Prior to this, Shimazaki Yuna had already submitted a manuscript to Dengeki Bunko.

Yuna Shimazaki sent screenshots of her three completed submissions to Yoshikage Kira, along with the following text:

"Kira-kun, is this alright?"

"can."

Yoshikage Kira didn't look at it closely and replied directly.

He was originally going to urge Shimazaki Yuna to hurry up and make some more modifications to Shinonono Houki's hand.

But at the same time, LINE received messages from other people.

"Kitagawa Uimu?"

Kira Yoshikage glanced at the contact name, then opened the window with a hint of doubt, and saw the message the other party had sent:

"Kira-kun, are you really not coming to the party? It's not over yet!"

"The address is in Daejeon-gu."

Kitagawa Kaimu sent a location via text, followed by a video. The students of Class C in the first year were gathered in a large private room of a karaoke bar. Amidst the noisy background noise, a girl's not-so-standard but still beautiful singing voice could be heard. The girl with slightly curly golden hair was holding a microphone and singing softly.

Before Kira Yoshikage could reply, Kitagawa Kaimu sent another message:

"Kira-kun, is it nice to listen to?"

"It sounds nice, but I'm not going."

Yoshikage Kira was a man of few words.

"As long as it sounds good."

The girl in the karaoke room smiled slightly, her fingers tapping rapidly on the screen:

"So, Kira-kun, are you free tomorrow?"

"No."

Kira Yoshikage had just replied when Kitagawa Kaimu replied almost instantly, as if she had been waiting for Kira Yoshikage all along:

"Huh? Is it because you were fired by the store manager and are busy looking for a job?"

"Yes."

Kira Yoshikage wasn't surprised that Kitagawa Kaimu knew he was working, after all, she and Aoyama Nanami were friends. And given Aoyama Nanami's personality, it would be difficult for her to resist Kitagawa Kaimu's persistent pleading.

"Jobs are hard to find these days."

"Goodnight, I'm going to sleep..."

Before Yoshikage Kira could click send, another message from Kaimu Kitagawa arrived:

"I have a well-paid temporary part-time job here, Kira-kun, would you like to come?"

Yoshikage Kira immediately deleted what he had typed and replied instantly:

"What kind of part-time job? What's the hourly wage?"
