Lying on a narrow bed, Kenichi Hasegawa couldn't sleep, but he didn't toss and turn in bed, because the bed was too narrow, and if he tossed and turned, he would fall off the bed.
Looking at the crescent moon through the gap in the curtains. Originally, Kenichi Hasegawa wanted to rest early, get up early tomorrow, and go to school early. After all, it was the beginning of the school year, so it would be good to get familiar with the campus in advance. But, I couldn't sleep.
The figure of Mrs. Yuigahama kept appearing in Kenichi Hasegawa's mind. Mrs. Yuigahama's weak appearance, crying appearance, etc.
"Sure enough, after the body becomes younger, even the mind becomes uncontrollable?" Kenichi Hasegawa couldn't help shaking his head. In his previous life, he was in his forties and had entered middle age. The pressure of life and society made him stable and silent. He even didn't have any thoughts about women anymore. But after crossing over, everything changed.
"Alas, my body is still too young, and the hormone secretion is a little too strong." Hasegawa Kenichi sighed and got up from the bed.
Turning on the light, the light illuminated the not-so-large space. Hasegawa Kenichi sat at the desk: "Since I can't sleep, then, write a novel. Now my writing skills have reached level 3, which should be enough."
Take out a notebook and a pen, and Hasegawa Kenichi started writing and drawing on it.
Although he started writing novels at level 3, he actually practiced before and even tried to create an outline.
It's just that writing a novel is not that simple. For ordinary traditional novels, Hasegawa Kenichi doesn't know much about Japanese customs, and what he writes may not be suitable for the local environment. In addition, his writing level is still relatively low, so what he wants to write now is light novels.
Hasegawa Kenichi still has a certain understanding of light novels. Although he doesn't have the original memory of this body, there are many comics and light novels at home, and he has read a lot of them during this period. I have a certain understanding of light novels.
Similarly, compared with traditional novels, light novels have much lower requirements for writing and other aspects.
Just like martial arts novels. When he was in school, he started reading martial arts novels and was addicted to them. Later, martial arts novels were gradually replaced by other online novels, and he began to read other novels. After graduating from university and working, within a few years, he rarely read online novels.
So, this light novel, to Hasegawa Kenichi, probably feels similar to martial arts novels and online novels.
Hasegawa Kenichi has roughly determined the subject matter of light novels, but he has not started writing before because of the level of his own writing skills. Now, it will be possible.
I have a certain understanding of Japanese light novels, most of which are about youth love, or other worlds and high school students saving the world.
However, youth love, high school students saving the world and so on. He feels that although his body has become younger, his heart is still a little old, and he probably can't write about these. As for the other world, it's okay, but he feels that the passion and the like may not be in line with his personality.
So when thinking about the subject, Hasegawa Kenichi occasionally thought of an anime "Tokyo Ghoul" that he heard from his colleagues when he didn't travel through time.
To be honest, because of his energy and age, he didn't watch that anime, so he probably only knew the world view of "Tokyo Ghoul", which is a world of cannibalism, where ghouls are in opposition to humans, and the protagonist is caught between the two and becomes half a ghoul. He doesn't know the details.
But although he doesn't know, Hasegawa Kenichi thinks that this subject is very good. He even thinks that this kind of entanglement and human choice will be more suitable for him. If it is written well, it can be written with a certain depth.
Thinking of this, Hasegawa Kenichi began to make an outline, Tokyo Ghoul. Well, Tokyo Ghoul is more suitable. After all, the feeling of ghouls is probably the kind of existence that looks like a corpse in anime, stealing corpses in cemeteries and so on. The ghouls in this novel not only eat corpses, but also eat humans, capturing living people and eating them.
"Tokyo Ghoul" has been named this.
The world background is a world where ghouls and humans coexist. Ghouls feed on humans, and humans hunt ghouls to protect themselves.
The protagonist of the novel, an orphan whose parents died at the hands of ghouls, forms a family with an orphan sister who has the same experience. They are siblings without blood ties.
The protagonist is accidentally transplanted with a ghoul organ and becomes a ghoul, but out of fear and hatred of ghouls, he refuses to eat human food. Even if he is about to lose his mind due to hunger, he still does not attack humans. The sister discovered the protagonist's situation and secretly cut off her own flesh for her brother to eat.
Because they are siblings, even if the brother becomes a ghoul, the sister will not give up. After the younger brother learned about it, in order to prevent his sister from cutting meat from him again, he had to go out to find food. After that, the protagonist stepped into the vortex of ghouls and humans. At the same time, the protagonist began to have a deeper understanding of ghouls. Although ghouls are synonymous with horror, in fact, ghouls are just for survival.
From the protagonist becoming a ghoul and accepting his identity, a series of stories, Hasegawa Kenichi listed a not very detailed outline.
Looking at the outline he wrote, Hasegawa Kenichi nodded with satisfaction, put down the pen in his hand, and pinched the corners of his sore eyes. I have begun to feel sleepy. So I went to bed-
This sleep was sometimes sweet, but when Hasegawa Kenichi woke up the next day, he found that he woke up a little late. It was almost seven o'clock. Although he could get to school before eight o'clock, it was impossible for him to arrive at school one novel in advance.
After a simple tidying up, he went out without making breakfast, probably buying some bread on the way to fill his stomach.
However, when Hasegawa Kenichi walked towards the school, he happened to meet Mrs. Yuigahama at the corner.
Mrs. Yuigahama was not in a good mood, with faint dark circles around her eyes, which could not be covered even after makeup. But it was normal, after all, something happened in her home yesterday, it would be strange if she could rest well last night.
"Is it you?" When Hasegawa Kenichi was thinking about whether to greet Mrs. Yuigahama, Mrs. Yuigahama recognized Hasegawa Kenichi instead. After exclaiming, a trace of gratitude appeared on her face: "Thank you so much for last night. It's just that I was a little messy last night, and I forgot to ask your name. It's really rude."
"Uh, it's nothing. Neighbors. I'm Hasegawa Kenichi. Mrs. Yuigahama, you can just call me Hasegawa." Hasegawa Kenichi stopped, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to Mrs. Yuigahama calmly.
"Hey? Neighbor? Does Hasegawa-kun live nearby?" Mrs. Yuigahama looked at Kenichi Hasegawa in surprise.
"Well, because I'm going to school here, I rented a house in the apartment next door." Kenichi Hasegawa pointed to the apartment not far away.
"Ah, so that's why I thought Hasegawa-kun looked so familiar. It turns out that he's really a neighbor. I'm so sorry, he's obviously a neighbor, but I didn't even remember Hasegawa-kun. It's really rude." Mrs. Yuigahama wanted to apologize again.
"No, no, no, it's normal that Mrs. Yuigahama hasn't seen me much because I seldom go out. By the way, Mrs. Yuigahama, last night-" Kenichi Hasegawa asked with some concern.
When Mrs. Yuigahama heard Kenichi Hasegawa mention what happened last night, her eyes dimmed again: "He is my husband. He was originally a very good person, but unfortunately, he got addicted to gambling, and then he became like this." Maybe it was because Kenichi Hasegawa helped her last night that she was willing to tell Kenichi Hasegawa these things. Of course, in fact, this is not a secret. If you really want to, you can find out by asking.
"Is that so? It's really unfortunate. Well, as a neighbor, if Mrs. Yuigahama needs any help, you can come to me. I can still help with some small things, not big things."
"Thank you, Mr. Hasegawa, you are such a good person." Mrs. Yuigahama said with gratitude.
"Well, after all, we are neighbors."
