Whether it was Hasegawa or Kasumigaoka Utaha, neither of them was short of money, so in the end, Kasumigaoka Utaha left with the photocopied copy in disappointment.
After Kasumigaoka Utaha left, Hasegawa breathed a sigh of relief.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was the most proactive girl Hasegawa had ever met. It really fits the saying that an ugly man will never know how proactive a girl can be.
In fact, Hasegawa could see that Kasumigaoka Utaha only had a certain liking for him at best. To say that she particularly liked him or loved him, she was still a little short of that, at least not yet. But even so, Kasumigaoka Utaha still took the initiative. It can only be said that she and Eriri are really two completely different types of people.
To be honest, with Hasegawa's understanding of Kasumigaoka Utaha, he didn't think that Kasumigaoka Utaha would give up so easily, but at least, his actions could make Kasumigaoka Utaha restrain a little.
"I'm back!"
Hasegawa said casually when he got home, but there was no sound at home. Mrs. Yuigahama had started working again and was not at home during the day.
Hasegawa came directly to his bedroom with a notebook and prepared to start writing his novel. Because of some recent materials and information, Hasegawa really made a comprehensive revision of his previous outline for the Japanese part, and even made some minor adjustments to the outline of the Chinese part.
After all, he planned to interweave the stories of the Chinese and Japanese places from the beginning, so as to form a sharp contrast. So when moving one side, the other side also needs to be adjusted. At the same time, Hasegawa felt that the content he wanted to write also needed to be expanded.
Originally, Hasegawa only focused on two families, one in China and one in Japan. However, after collecting materials and learning more about the situation in Japan, Hasegawa felt that a single example was not very comprehensive. However, if he added stories of several families, the whole book would become bloated. Therefore, at this time, there needs to be a leader. Then add a little bit of other stories.
Sitting in front of the computer, Hasegawa kept writing, deleting and modifying his outline. The more things he controlled, the more troublesome it became to write.
Under the constant modification of the outline, Hasegawa even overturned the outline he had written before, and even part of the text about China that Hasegawa had written before needed to be abolished and rewritten at this time.
But even so, Hasegawa did not feel it was a pity. After all, if he could write better and more outstandingly, then it would be okay to replace what he had written before.
However, the writing outline that was originally expected to be completed soon had to be postponed for a while if it wanted to be published.
However, once the outline is written, the book that Hasegawa wants to write will be completed soon. After all, a traditional novel is not like an online novel that has dozens of volumes, nor is it like an online novel that has to be written for millions of words. A traditional novel with less than 20,000 words is a short story. 30,000 to 50,000 words is a novella. The maximum number of words in a novel is about 100,000 to 150,000.
Hasegawa plans to write about the lives of ordinary people in China and Japan, plus some other aspects, so Hasegawa estimates that his novel will be about 150,000 words, and even after some refinement, the number of words may be even less.
So, in fact, for Hasegawa, after the outline is written, the traditional novel will be almost completed.
Hasegawa plans to focus most of his energy on this traditional novel during the summer vacation. As for the fourth volume of "Tokyo Ghoul", Hasegawa plans to write it in his spare time. Fortunately, it is summer vacation now, and there is a lot of free time, even in the field of kendo, because he has broken through to the realm of sword saint, and the kendo has reached the maximum level, so he does not need to practice anymore, which saves some time.
So Hasegawa's approach can be implemented.
Hasegawa took his hands off the keyboard and picked up the materials he had collected before and looked through them carefully. Some parts are written in a simple or even crude way, but Hasegawa can see what they mean, so it does not affect his reading.
Read these materials and information over and over again, then rush to the group, and finally develop them into one plot after another. How to arrange the plot later, whether to cut it off, that needs to be summarized at the end.
"Dinglingling..."
The phone rang suddenly, and Hasegawa frowned. The call at this time disturbed him.
Took out the phone, looked at the caller ID, and Hasegawa was a little stunned.
"Hello, I'm Kenichi Hasegawa."
"Kenichi. It's me. It's been so many days since the Yulong Banner ended, why didn't you come to see Eriri?" Sayuri Sawamura's voice came from the phone.
"Mrs. Sawamura, I've been busy recently. I've been collecting materials before, so I don't have much free time." Hasegawa explained.
"Hey? Are you collecting materials? Is it the traditional novel you want to write?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Is that so? But didn't you say you wanted to ask me for materials? I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't even come to me."
"Uh, sorry, Mrs. Sawamura, but I've already asked Mrs. Sawamura for materials. Besides, Mrs. Sawamura's family is different from the family in the novel I wrote. So when I was collecting materials, many of the materials were not what Mrs. Sawamura could give me. So--"
"Is that so? Well, forget it. It's okay if it's not suitable. But Eriri can keep talking about you, but you not only don't come, but you didn't even call. That's a bit too much. Kenichi."
"Uh." Hasegawa's expression became a little weird. Hasegawa knew that Eriri liked Tomoya Aki, so what did it matter whether Hasegawa called or not? At best, when he went to Eriri's house, he would call Aki Tomoya along. No, he should call Aki Tomoya, and then Hasegawa would go along as well.
Hasegawa didn't quite understand how Sayuri Sawamura brought the matter to himself. Sayuri Sawamura should have known that Eriri liked Aki Tomoya.
Hmm. But if you think about it, it seems to make sense. Most parents probably don't like people like Aki Tomoya who only have the second dimension in their minds, so is Sayuri Sawamura planning to break up Aki Tomoya and Eriri? Hasegawa thought so.
"Kenichi, when are you going to play with Eriri? No, when are you going to discuss the plot of the comics with Eriri?" Sayuri Sawamura asked again.
"Well, I've been busy writing novels recently, and I don't have much time." Hasegawa hesitated.
"But what about the comics? That's the result of your and Eriri's hard work."
"If there is any problem, just let Sawamura contact me online and we can talk online." Hasegawa came up with this idea without thinking.
"...Online?"
"Yes. Online chat software."
Hasegawa finally hung up the phone with Sayuri Sawamura. Sayuri Sawamura's voice was full of disappointment, but Hasegawa was very decisive and didn't hesitate at all.
Although Hasegawa's emotional intelligence is not very high, he is not particularly dull, so Hasegawa can feel that Sayuri Sawamura wants to match him and Eriri, but Hasegawa feels that Sayuri Sawamura is messing around. She doesn't know what her daughter thinks, or she knows what Eriri thinks, but wants to change Eriri's mind.
A forced melon is not sweet. Although it can quench thirst, it is not sweet.
Hasegawa felt that Sayuri Sawamura was probably just too enthusiastic. So, Hasegawa didn't take it too seriously.
At Eriri's house, Sayuri Sawamura hung up the phone with regret, and then looked up and saw Eriri hiding in the corner.
"Eriri, Kenichi said he didn't have time, so he won't come."
"Hmph, if he doesn't come, then don't come. Do I care if he comes? Hmph!" Eriri snorted and turned around and ran to her room.
...
Hasegawa continued to focus on writing. The outline was constantly written by Hasegawa, and then some parts would be deleted, and then some parts would be added. Especially the plots obtained after reading the materials before were written one by one, and then he began to think about which one was suitable to write, which one needed to be deleted, which one needed to be modified and added, and where to add it.
When Hasegawa was concentrating on writing. The door outside opened, and Mrs. Yuigahama came back with a bag and a paper bag, and said softly: I'm back.
After changing her shoes, she didn't hear Hasegawa's voice, so she put down the things in her hands, went upstairs, came to Hasegawa's door, raised her right hand to knock on the door, but paused at this time, thought about it, and didn't continue to knock on the door, but grabbed the door handle and twisted it slowly, and didn't lock it from the inside.
Gently pushing the door open a crack, Mrs. Yuigahama saw Hasegawa sitting in front of the computer through the crack, and saw Hasegawa's face full of concentration, writing something on the computer quickly.
Hasegawa's focused look was particularly handsome in Mrs. Yuigahama's eyes. After watching quietly for a while, Mrs. Yuigahama smiled, quietly closed the door, and then tried to slow down her pace and reduce the noise she made while walking, and slowly walked downstairs: "Hasegawa-kun looks very tired, so let me make a sumptuous dinner for him."
