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

Twenty-three minutes passed, and Shimazaki Yuna stared blankly at the typing speed of 2192 words per minute displayed on the computer screen.

Is this really a speed that humans can achieve?

Kira Yoshikage's typing speed was so fast that she couldn't even keep up with reading it...

While the girl was still in a daze, Yoshikage Kira had already closed the document and shut down the computer.

"Aren't you going to continue writing?" Shimazaki Yuna asked instinctively.

It's already eleven o'clock.

Kira Yoshikage said something indifferently, walked straight to the bed, lay down, and turned off the lights in the room.

"Umm~"

Yuna Shimazaki was somewhat at a loss, so should she leave?

Yoshikage Kira pointed to the tatami mats on the floor:

"You can sleep on the floor; there are blankets in the closet. You can also sleep in the bed, but a single bed would be a bit cramped for two people..."

"It's okay."

With a trembling voice, Shimazaki Yuna walked to the bedside, gently lifted the covers, and lay down.

Under the moonlight, the girl's fair cheeks were already flushed.

She actually crawled into the bed of a stranger she had only known for less than three hours; she would definitely be considered a god-like girl, right?

But she has nothing now.

If this allows me to regain support, it might not be a bad thing.

After all, he was the one who saved him!

Kira Yoshikage gazed at the girl's exquisite face, still visible even in the darkness, and frowned slightly.

He was not surprised by the girl's choice. Clearly, she had no attachment to this world left by choosing to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train.

Kira Yoshikage, who risked his life to save her from the subway, will undoubtedly become the only motivation for her to live.

But faced with a pretty and lovely young girl, and smelling the faint citrus scent emanating from her, Kira Yoshikage, despite already having sex, was not excited. Instead, he frowned slightly and bluntly gave the order:

Give me your hand.

A beautiful girl without hands is meaningless!

Yuna Shimazaki blinked and obediently stretched out her hands...

Kira Yoshikage didn't stand on ceremony; he needed those hands to help the House of Representatives pass the bill.

Chapter 8 Kitagawa Sea Dream

7:50 a.m.

After a full eight hours of sleep, Yoshikage Kira was full of energy, and the release of stress allowed him to greet the next day without any fatigue.

After spending five minutes washing up, Yoshikage Kira poured himself a glass of milk and then sat down at his computer to start working.

He planned to write another 50,000 words before starting school, because the submission requirements for major light novel imprints in Japan are 100,000 words, which is roughly the length of a published light novel volume.

With Kira Yoshikage's superhuman typing speed, 50,000 words were written in just fifteen minutes.

The girl, who had woken up at some point, blushed as she recalled the events of the previous night. Her palms still felt sticky, even though she had washed them.

She walked barefoot to the computer, brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, and looked surprised.

"Is it finished?"

Yuna Shimazaki didn't know when Yoshikage Kira woke up, but the word count displayed on the computer had already exceeded 100,000 words. Judging from the typing speed Yoshikage Kira displayed last night, these 100,000 words were probably the result of less than an hour of his writing.

Which online literature platform do you think I should submit my work to?

Kira Yoshikage looked at the girl beside him and suddenly asked.

"Huh? Are you asking me?"

Yuna Shimazaki was a little nervous. She glanced at Yoshikage Kira's novel again, though she couldn't read it as fast as he wrote. But based on some extracted keywords, she could still roughly tell that it was a school romance comedy.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl softly suggested:

"Hmm~, among the three major light novel publishers, Shinazugawa Bunko has always primarily promoted school romance light novels, while Dengeki Bunko mainly promotes isekai (another world) adventure light novels, and school romance has never been valued. No matter how well it's written, it's impossible to win a grand prize..."

After a pause, Shimazaki Yuna hesitated to mention another reason: the deadline for submissions to Dengeki Bunko was April 10th, which was only a few days away.

The submission deadline for Shinazugawa Bunko is in August, giving her ample time to create illustrations. Therefore, if she submits her work to Shinazugawa Bunko, her illustrations can be submitted alongside Yoshikage Kira's works, which might increase her chances of winning.

But this is somewhat hurtful, as if Kira Yoshikage wouldn't have won the award without her illustrations.

Upon hearing the girl's analysis, Kira Yoshikage did not hesitate:

"Okay, then let's submit it to Dengeki Bunko."

Shimazaki Yuna's mouth was slightly open. Could it be that she wanted to recommend Shinazugawa Bunko?

Kira Yoshikage's fingers flew across the keyboard as he searched for Dengeki Bunko's website, clicked "apply," registered an account, and submitted his work—all in one smooth motion.

Yoshikage Kira stood up from his computer desk and began to speak:

"I'm in a hurry. There are new towels and toothbrushes in the bathroom; you can take them with you when you're done. Also, remember to close the door when you leave."

The girl gently tugged at Kira Yoshikage's sleeve, looking at him pitifully:

"Can I go to school with you?"

Kira Yoshikage remained unmoved by the girl's pitiful appearance.

But when he looked down at the girl's delicate, white hands...

So cute, I want to lick it.

Yoshikage Kira was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:

Five minutes.

"I'll be quick."

Shimazaki Yuna nodded happily, ran barefoot to the bathroom, found the new toothbrush and folded towel placed in a conspicuous position, and finished washing up as quickly as possible.

Standing in front of the sink, looking at herself in the mirror, Shimazaki Yuna inexplicably put her hand to the tip of her nose.

uh~

The girl's pretty face was flushed, and even though a long time had passed, she could still seem to smell the scent.

"Kira-kun."

The girl, her cheeks flushed, opened the bathroom door, stepped into the entryway, and whispered, "I'm done."

"Change your shoes."

Yoshikage Kira pointed to the shoes and socks neatly arranged in the entryway.

"Ah."

Shimazaki Yuna obediently squatted on the ground and put the black socks back on her fair feet, then pulled on her leather shoes with her index finger.

"Let's go."

Yoshikage Kira opened the door and waited for the girl to leave before closing it again.

The apartment was less than 100 meters from the nearest subway station, so it only took them five minutes to board the subway to the Minato Ward.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be able to arrive at school smoothly before class begins.

"Kira-kun."

On the subway, Shimazaki Yuna, sitting next to Kira Yoshikage, took out her phone and cautiously asked, "Could you add me on LINE and send me the novel? I... I'll finish the illustrations as soon as possible..."

"can."

Yoshikage Kira thought about it for a moment and decided it was necessary. So he took out his phone, added Yuna Shimazaki as a LINE friend, and then sent the document he had saved on his phone to her.

The girl immediately began reading the document upon receiving it, afraid of missing a single word.

Ding!

At 8:40, the subway arrived at Mita Station.

Kira Yoshikage glanced at Shimazaki Yuna, who was engrossed in reading a novel, sighed softly, and took the girl's hand as they walked out of the subway.

Shuchiin Academy is not far from the subway station, less than 200 meters away as the crow flies.

However, Yoshikage Kira and Yuna Shimazaki did not attend the same school, so they separated when they exited the subway station.

8:45, 5 minutes before class starts.

Inside the classroom, the students chatted quietly in small groups with their close friends.

Kira Yoshikage's arrival brought a moment of silence to the classroom, but it didn't last long. After all, while a tall, blond man was hard not to be afraid of, this was, after all, a school.

Yoshikage Kira walked through the crowd and sat in the second-to-last row by the window, quietly watching the cherry blossoms falling outside.

Although I've decided to use the income from light novels to maintain a peaceful life, this isn't something that can be achieved overnight.

It's early April now, and the deadline for the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award is April 10th.

After the deadline, Dengeki Bunko will conduct a total of four rounds of evaluation on the submitted light novels.

Each round of judging lasts for one month, during which most of the entries are eliminated.

The fourth round of judging is the final round, which aims to select shortlisted works from those that have passed the three rounds of judging.

Depending on the number of main and secondary awards each year, the number of shortlisted works ranges from 4 to 8.

In other words, from the time Yoshikage Kira submits his work to when he wins the prize money and even gets it published, it will take at least four months. And during those four months, he can't just sit around doing nothing; he'll need to find a job to keep going…

"Kira-kun?"

A slender, white hand waved in front of him, pulling Yoshikage Kira back to reality.

Kira Yoshikage's gaze followed the withdrawn hand and saw the owner of that hand.

A girl with long, golden hair, the ends of which were dyed a gradient pink, and a seemingly ever-present bright smile on her face.

Yoshikage Kira recalled the roster, matching the girls with the names he remembered—

Kitagawa Sea Dream.
