Back home.
Kobayashi Itsuki couldn't wait and immediately prepared to open the chests.
First, the two White Treasure Chests.
'Open two White Treasure Chests.'
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received 5 packs of tissues.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received 1 Motorcycle Helmet.]
As always, there was nothing good.
Next were the two green treasure chests.
'Open two green treasure chests.'
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received 1 carton of Cigarettes.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received 1 Burberry Scarf.]
Just average.
Next was the grand finale: the blue treasure chest!
Kobayashi Itsuki silently chanted, his eyes full of anticipation.
'Open the blue treasure chest!'
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received 10 sets of Claymore Mine Complete Device.]
Kobayashi Itsuki looked at the notification before him, his wide eyes filled with confusion and incomprehension.
Wait, what did this thing give him?
A claymore mine?
The thing that says 'Front Toward Enemy'?
Kobayashi Itsuki was a little dumbfounded.
Indeed, in this world with Transcendent Power, he wanted to have some capacity for self-preservation.
If it were a pistol or something similar, he could accept it.
But what did this blue treasure chest give him?
He wanted to protect himself in daily life, not go to a battlefield!
What was the use of giving him a claymore mine? Was he supposed to become a terrorist?
This thing was completely useless in his hands.
And it couldn't be sold like other items.
If he dared to sell it, he would be arrested on the spot.
His initial anticipation was now like having cold water poured over him, leaving him feeling chilled to the bone.
Kobayashi Itsuki silently summoned a claymore mine from the system, looking at its green appearance and the large words "Front Toward Enemy." Kobayashi Itsuki wished he could kick it.
However, he really didn't have the courage to kick it.
What if it exploded?
He couldn't just restart again; whether he could even transmigrate again was uncertain.
Helplessly, Kobayashi Itsuki put the claymore mine back into the system, estimating that he would probably never see this thing again in his life.
Even those guys from the Tamayomi clan couldn't be dealt with using this thing.
"I wonder if this counts as a false alarm."
Kobayashi Itsuki shook his head, feeling a bit helpless.
The appearance of the claymore mine directly extinguished Kobayashi Itsuki's enthusiasm.
Sighing, Kobayashi Itsuki opened his computer and began typing on the keyboard.
Even though he didn't get a big item this time, life still had to go on, didn't it?
The monthly interest wouldn't change just because he got a claymore mine, unless he directly took the claymore mine to a loan company and detonated it.
But that would be a mutual destruction scenario, completely not worth it.
Opening a new document, Kobayashi Itsuki skillfully began typing.
Starting from the title.
"your lie in april"
...Busy until late at night, Kobayashi Itsuki finished ten thousand words, completing the beginning.
The length of this novel was not long, not much longer than "planetarian: the reverie of a little star."
Its main theme was inducing sadness.
After sending the finished document to Ohara Nanako, Kobayashi Itsuki dragged his tired body onto the bed.
The physical fatigue was manageable; it was mainly mental.
Especially the claymore mine!
Kobayashi Itsuki felt that he would even dream about this thing tonight; it was truly depressing.
Meanwhile, Ohara Nanako, at home, was doing her homework in her room.
Although she had started doing part-time work, her studies still needed to be taken care of.
"Ding-dong."
A phone message notification interrupted Ohara Nanako's thoughts.
She picked up her phone and saw that it was indeed a message from Kobayashi Itsuki, telling her that the manuscript had been sent to her email.
"That fast?"
"Teacher Kobayashi must have only sent me the synopsis and outline, right?"
Ohara Nanako put down her phone, curiously opened her computer, and logged into her email.
She wanted to see what kind of story Kobayashi Itsuki's new work would be.
However, after opening the email, the first sentence that caught her eye was:
"In the autumn of my eleventh year, I could no longer play the piano."
"Two years later, in April, a girl named Miyazono Kaori appeared in my world."
...Ohara Nanako, who had initially thought it was just a synopsis and outline, subconsciously continued reading.
For a light novel, ten thousand words were enough to introduce and present a lot of content.
"It seems this time it's a campus romance type?"
Ohara Nanako said thoughtfully, continuing to read.
"Teacher Kobayashi's writing style and plot are as smooth as before; he doesn't seem like a new author at all…"
Ohara Nanako muttered as she read, also making notes on paper.
Recording some minor issues.
Ten thousand words wasn't much, and in a short while, Ohara Nanako finished reading.
"Indeed, compared to other newcomers, Teacher Kobayashi is truly a genius."
"He can handle different genres so well."
After finishing Kobayashi Itsuki's "your lie in april," Ohara Nanako had a premonition.
This work, in a sense, would definitely not be inferior to Kobayashi Itsuki's previous work, "planetarian: the reverie of a little star"!
Thinking this, Ohara Nanako picked up her phone, wanting to call him back.
However, she glanced at the time and realized it was very late, so she simply composed and sent a text message.
"Teacher Kobayashi, I've already read your new work, 'your lie in april'…"
After composing the message, Ohara Nanako clicked send, feeling an inexplicable anticipation for work tomorrow.
"Ding-dong."
In the dark room, a faint notification sound rang out.
A weak light illuminated the darkness; Kobayashi Itsuki was already fast asleep under his covers… After the contract was signed, for the next period of time,
Kobayashi Itsuki's daily life returned to its previous tranquility.
treasure chests were temporarily difficult to get.
According to his experience, unless it was a baby like Himawari-chan, who had very clear preferences, it was not easy for others to get a blue one.
Just like Higashimatsuyama Yone and Matsuzaka Ume, there was a hint of admiration involved.
For ordinary people without such feelings, getting a blue one was quite difficult.
The Kindergarten children were the same.
Every day basically consisted of attending classes, and then typing, writing new books.
At his speed, he could consistently submit eight thousand to ten thousand words every day.
With quality and quantity, Ohara Nanako praised him to the heavens.
In her words, she had never seen an author as diligent as Kobayashi Itsuki.
Over time, the two became more familiar with each other, especially when discussing the plot and details of writing; sometimes, they would chat until late at night.
