Three days later.
On vacation … whoops, Seiji was discharged from the hospital after a full recovery. He returned home with Little Shi, and they soon went to the bookstore together.
When they arrived at the light novel section, they quickly found what they were looking for.
Brother Monogatari!
The cover had a romantic and mystical atmosphere in the background. A black-haired beautiful girl wearing Sakura Island mystical clothing and holding a vicious demon mask was smiling brilliantly as she turned around to look at Seiji. Her purple-red eyes were especially beautiful, and they seemed to be flashing with light, yet also seemed to contain a strange expression.
In front of the girl was a white-haired boy wearing a collared windbreaker. His hands were in his pockets, and his head was tilted slightly to the side. Only half of his handsome face and sharp eyes could be seen, as if he was looking at something behind him, or the girl behind him.
The entire drawing was quite vivid and charming. Compared to the other light novels on the shelves, this one stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens. Anyone could tell the difference at a glance.
Seiji was moved as he picked up a book.
Shika Kagura also picked up a book, and something flashed in his eyes as he stared at the cover.
Then, the two of them looked at each other and smiled in unison. Their smiles were filled with happiness.
A man wearing a round hat next to them was surprised to see this scene. He felt that this was just like a scene out of a movie.
Who were the handsome boy and the beautiful girl? Were they idols or models?
He was confused, and then noticed the light novels in their hands.
Brother Monogatari … what a strange title.
But the cover was quite beautiful … the beautiful girl in the cover seemed quite similar to the one in front of him?
The man was rather surprised.
He hid his emotions and picked up a copy of Brother Monogatari as well, and began reading it.
He was immediately captivated by what he saw.
This light novel had a unique style, and the quality of the writing was quite high. As he read it, he could naturally imagine the plot as if he were watching an anime, and an amazing anime at that!
The illustrations were also of high quality, perfectly matching the story and strengthening the reader's imagination.
The man was unknowingly immersed in the story, and he didn't even notice that the handsome boy and beautiful girl had left.
"Customer, please don't stand here for too long."
The bookstore employee's voice sounded, and the man in the round hat was still in a daze.
"Customer!" The male employee raised his voice.
The man was startled and anger appeared on his face. When he turned his head and saw that it was the shop assistant, his anger immediately dissipated.
"Sorry …" He closed the book. "I want to buy this one."
"Thank you for your patronage." The shop assistant gave him a look that said 'please be careful not to do this again' and walked away.
The round-headed man scanned the surroundings but did not see the young man and the young girl.
"Brother Monogatari … Idle Dimension by the Shore …"
He looked at the novel in his hand, silently recited the author's pen name, and then walked to the cashier.
Seiji and Little Shi each bought three copies of "Brother Monogatari" for reading, collecting, and lending.
They were all confident in the quality of their work, but it would take some time before they knew how the actual sales would turn out.
After returning home for a while, Seiji received a call.
It was Tomohisa.
"Seigo, have you been discharged?"
"He's been discharged."
"That's good," Tomohisa paused, "I've already read a portion of the King's works that were released today."
"What do you think?"
"It's excellent, as expected of the King's work!" Seiji passionately praised.
"I really wanted to finish reading it in one go, but unfortunately, I still have things to do, so I can only bear with it for now."
"Based on the portion that I've already read, I judge that this is a famous work that will shake the world! Many people will become the King's believers! "
"Thank you for your kind words. It would be great if that was really the case." Seiji smiled.
"That's definitely the case! The King's glory shall illuminate the world! "
"Don't brag too much, this is only a light novel."
"No, this isn't just a light novel, it's the beginning of the King's great cause! As the First Knight, I'm honored to follow His Majesty, and I'll definitely give you my full support! "Tomohisa spoke in a serious tone.
"Thank you for your support. I'm delighted to have you serve me," Seiji responded with a smile.
He treated this as a joke of support, and didn't understand the true meaning behind Seiji's "full support".
After ending the phone call.
Tomohisa placed his cell phone on his computer desk and went online to contact Seiji.
"What's the matter, Mr. Sweet Pork?"
"I'd like you to help me advertise a new light novel, Tea-kun. You can charge me as much as you want."
"What a joke, how could I possibly charge Mr. Sweet Pork? Just say the word. What's the name of the novel you want to advertise? "
"'Brother Monogatari,' a new Thunder Bunko novel that's going on sale today."
Similar conversations kept happening.
Tomohisa adjusted his eyeglasses and smiled as he looked at the screen with so many dialog boxes.
'My "support" isn't limited to just buying a few books, Seiji.'
…
Later that night.
Mika, Chiaki, and Feng Wu arrived. Each of them was holding a copy of "Brother Monogatari" and reading it by the Kotatsu, as if they were having a book club.
Seiji was also reading it. Although he already knew the story by heart, he still wanted to read it again.
From time to time, he would receive phone calls or messages from others, all of which were about their thoughts on "Brother Monogatari."
"The story was well-written, and the illustrations were beautifully drawn as well. Excellent, Shore Sensei." — Summer Night.
"The story that you and Kagura-san collaborated on is quite good. I give it 9.5 out of 10." — Mai.
"It's an amazing story! I really like the main character; I feel like he's quite similar to Senpai. "— Hoshi.
"It's been a while since we last met. Reading your new story reminds me of the past … Heh heh, I was your first reader. "— Rika Amami.
"Your story is even better than I expected, and you even drew the illustrations! That's amazing … I'm a little shocked. "— Genji.
"Your story is excellent, and it inspired us to compose music." — Rion and Kotomi.
"The story is excellent, and the illustrations are excellent as well. I'm looking forward to reading your manga in the future." — Mayuzumi.
"The response seems quite good, and it should sell quite well." — Saki.
"Reading it feels like I'm watching an amazing anime. This is the best light novel I've ever read." — Kaori.
"'Brother Monogatari' is amazing! I can't stop reading it. I won't be able to sleep until I finish reading it tonight! "— Kanna Fujihara.
"Your story is excellent; I can feel the aura from it." — Ryuuno Izawa.
Apart from the above friends, there were also readers from the same author as Seiji.
"Although I already knew that your story was the true Gold Award winner of this year's Newcomer Awards, I still felt that it exceeded my expectations when I actually read it. I can only sigh in admiration." — Koushi Nomura.
"'Brother Monogatari' is excellent. It's so good that I almost don't want to finish reading it." — Miyabi Ishihara.
"Just as Nomura-san said at the time, your story is the best. What astonished me was that such beautiful illustrations were also drawn by you, or perhaps by your adopted younger sister? At any rate, it's truly excellent. Ordinary light novels can't compare at all. "— Yuuko Hashimoto.
"'Brother Monogatari' is truly a masterpiece. Both the story and illustrations are of high quality. You're a true genius." — Shousei Maishi.
"'Brother Monogatari' is excellent. I hope it sells well." — Imai Yoshida.
"A story written by a handsome guy, and the main character is also a handsome guy. Honestly, the fact that it's so interesting is even more infuriating. The illustrations are ridiculously beautiful as well. It'll definitely sell well … Remember to treat your senpai to some barbeque after you receive the money! It'd be best if the cute Kagura-san came as well. "— Tsuyoshi Matsutani.
Seiji was quite delighted to receive so many good reviews and blessings.
He looked towards Little Shi beside him.
Little Shi was also looking at him.
