Hearing Mochizuki's answer, Kasumigaoka Utaha let out a sigh of relief. She sat down next to Mochizuki, handed the laptop to Mochizuki Yo, and spoke seriously. "I'll trouble you."
Mochizuki took the thin laptop.
First, he smelled the fragrance coming from his senior, then the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Kasumigaoka senior, how did you manage to bring a computer during the exam!"
They won't be treated as cheating, right!
Mochizuki didn't intend to cheat, he just wanted to pass.
If he lost his holiday like this, it would really be a loss outweighing the gain!
Kasumigaoka Utaha covered her mouth and chuckled, "Hehe, guess?"
"I won't guess."
Mochizuki didn't want to guess, and turned his head to look at the laptop.
He gently flipped open the computer. After the screen lit up, it was already on the document interface.
Mochizuki found that the content had already been written up to the third volume, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Senior, you write so fast!"
After all, he himself had just started volume 2.
"Sometimes when inspiration comes, I just keep writing until it's finished."
"But unfortunately, I'm stuck now."
Mochizuki realized that was the case. No wonder Kasumigaoka Utaha wanted him to take a look; it seemed she hoped to get some feedback.
Mochizuki started reading from the second volume; he had already read the first volume before.
The computer screen kept scrolling, and Kasumigaoka Utaha stayed quietly beside him without disturbing him.
Mochizuki quickly finished reading all the content written by Kasumigaoka Utaha.
A light novel author's reading speed is very fast.
He closed the laptop and handed it back to Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Kasumigaoka Utaha asked Mochizuki with expectant eyes, "What do you think?"
"Kasumigaoka senior's writing is very good, and all the descriptions are very beautiful, much better than mine."
"However..."
Of course, the evaluation should be to praise first then criticize.
"However what?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha pressed.
"However, sometimes it's not good to pile up too many beautiful and ornate words in the writing, after all, we are writing light novels."
Sometimes people are more willing to read some simple and ordinary sentences because they can bring greater relaxation.
And another point is..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that Mochizuki's words were very reasonable. Machida Editor had talked to her about this point, and she had also started to correct it.
Now she was more looking forward to what Mochizuki was going to say next.
"Also, senior, you haven't been in love, right?"
Mochizuki spoke slowly. Although he himself hadn't been in love, it didn't prevent him from offering valuable suggestions.
Mochizuki had valuable viewing experience of palace dramas, campus romance dramas, and melodramatic love stories.
Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Mochizuki continued.
"Because senior, you are writing a campus love story."
In the first volume, an accidental encounter between the two created a deep impression on each other.
In the second volume, it was unexpected that the male and female protagonists could still meet by chance on campus, and many ambiguous things happened.
But the content from the third volume onwards is a bit bland, making it difficult to keep me reading."
"Yes, I realized that myself."
Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed.
After speaking, Kasumigaoka looked at Mochizuki with expectant eyes, as if hoping he could offer useful suggestions.
Mochizuki was helpless, thinking he was just a newcomer too, but he still spoke his opinion.
"According to the current content of the third volume, the male and female protagonists might get together soon."
"But what after they get together? It seems like they can only show affection? Of course, some readers might like to read that."
"The relationship between the male and female protagonists is too smooth, lacking the necessary ups and downs."
"In that case, senior's story might be more suitable for writing a short story."
"Hmm, my editor probably meant the same thing, hoping I can cut it down into a short work."
"Perhaps senior could add another female protagonist?"
"Add another female protagonist?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was puzzled. Indeed, do boys like to be surrounded by different girls?
Mochizuki explained.
"Yes, with another female protagonist, the path of love between the male and female protagonists will no longer be so smooth. The male protagonist will hesitate between the two, finding it difficult to make a choice, and so on."
"You could even write about the two female protagonists being afraid to confess to the male protagonist because they are considerate of each other, and so on..."
"I think this way, you can write a lot of different content."
"I see."
Kasumigaoka Utaha showed a look of sudden realization.
She had written everything too smoothly before. With her writing skills, writing a good short story like this was not a problem.
But for a long work, if there is no attractive plot development, it is difficult for readers to keep going.
"I understand, thank you, junior."
Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled again, a rare hint of shyness on her face.
Realizing she was still calling Mochizuki "junior" and finding she didn't know his name yet, she asked again.
"By the way, junior, you still haven't told me your name."
Mochizuki told Kasumigaoka Utaha his name.
The two chatted about some content in the novel.
During the conversation, an exam bell rang.
The broadcast on the rooftop also announced, reminding students who had not yet arrived at the classroom to hurry to the classroom, as the next subject was about to start.
The two had no choice but to leave.
Kasumigaoka Utaha still felt she hadn't had enough. Before leaving, she specifically added Mochizuki's Line, saying it would be convenient for future communication.
The next subject was math. Compared to the math level he had received from the education of a major country in his previous life...
The difficulty of math in this small Sakura Country was simply too easy.
Many questions were just basic knowledge points from the textbook, with only a few variations.
For example, a question currently in front of Mochizuki: A certain county plans to afforest 4200 mu, starting by afforesting 420 mu per day. After 4 days, the number of mu afforested per day is 1.2 times the initial amount. How many days did it take them to complete the task in total?
Mochizuki said, isn't this just setting x and solving the equation to finish it!
In his previous life, elementary and middle school students would know how to do this problem.
It's just that he had completely forgotten many math formulas!
For example, this question, find the factorization of (a^3+b^3).
However, most of the content did not stump Mochizuki.
After finishing the content he knew, Mochizuki submitted his paper early and left again.
He was full of confidence about passing.
...
So, Chinese and math exams were finished in the morning, and English was in the afternoon.
Needless to say, Mochizuki still submitted his English exam early.
For the English exam, he relied on the mnemonic "choose the shortest for three long and one short, and the longest for three short and one long."
It should be fine, right?
Because there were no club activities during the exam period, Mochizuki returned home very early.
When Shiina Mahiru returned and asked Mochizuki how the exam went, Mahiru was quite happy when Mochizuki said it was alright.
Then when she heard that Mochizuki had submitted his papers early for the entire day's exams, she no longer held any hope for him to pass!
...
The exam will last for two days.
Tomorrow will be the exam time for the remaining minor subjects.
Shiina Mahiru repeatedly told Mochizuki not to submit his paper early, but Mochizuki certainly wouldn't listen.
Soon, the two days of exams were over.
