Kirito stopped writing, looked at the book titles he had written, and began to think.
It's quite difficult to adapt a film or TV series! It's better to be cautious when making a debut.
Finally, Kirito looked at the title Tokyo Love Story and nodded. "OK, it's you!"
He had watched every episode of that drama without missing a single one! He also read the manga, so his memory was quite vivid. Writing about it should be easy!
The final imperfect ending could deeply touch people's hearts, and it could be said to be the godfather of Japanese dramas.
The story depicted the love story of a man and a woman in the city. When it was first released, it resonated strongly with the audience and set a record for the highest ratings among Japanese dramas at the time. It was a huge hit!
Kirito was confident that such an excellent work, used as his first creation, could sell well!
He felt a little excited when he thought that his work would be sought after by thousands of women!
The title of the book was simple and crude — Hidden Village Love Story.
After thinking about it, Kirito tried hard to recall the plot of Tokyo Love Story and slowly described the brief outline.
This was a story of a love triangle, but the ending was that the heroine Rika was gloriously eliminated, and the other male and female supporting characters were paired up!
The first thing was to adjust the scenes in the story. For example, there was a sporting goods store in the original work, but in the world of Konoha, there was no such thing as sporting goods, so he changed it to a ninja tool shop.
As for the male protagonist Nagao Kanji, he was originally an employee in a sporting goods store, and Kirito directly changed him into a young man who came from the countryside to work in a ninja tool shop.
As for the heroine Akaname Rika, Kirito was a little conflicted for a moment. Rika could be said to be the essence of the entire work, so she had to be treated with caution.
In the end, he decided to change the heroine's identity to the daughter of a traveling merchant family. She had no fixed place to live since childhood and later settled in Konoha, becoming an old employee of the ninja tool shop.
Natsuki Waga was a middle-aged, mature man who was charming and tolerant — the perfect person to be the manager of the ninja tool shop branch.
Satomi Sekiguchi was born in the same place as Kanji Nagao. In the original work, she was a kindergarten staff member. There was no need to make any adjustments, as there were also kindergarten teachers in the ninja world.
Kirito couldn't help but shake his head. Sekiguchi Rimi was really unpleasant — mysophobic, self-doubting, negative, and selfish.
In comparison, Rika was the real goddess.
Relying on his deep impression of the plot, Kirito adjusted the characters and scenes of Tokyo Love Story according to the social conditions of the ninja world.
He even finished writing the outline before going to bed.
Although he slept very late last night, Kirito woke up when the first ray of sunlight rose.
After washing up, he opened the refrigerator and couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Oh my god! There's not even a bucket of instant noodles?!"
All the money he earned from completing tasks yesterday had been spent, and there was no food at home. For a young man who was still growing, this was simply a hopeless situation!
"Gurgle~"
His stomach growled, and Kirito angrily closed the refrigerator door. He had to complete a task to earn money first.
Nothing was more important than filling his stomach.
He closed the door and went downstairs, then turned on the system and activated the "task" function.
There was a light spot in the direction of the school!
Yesterday, Ino told Kirito that the school was having a campus festival and wondered if Teacher Iruka was short of people.
It didn't matter if there wasn't a shortage of help — the light spot was at the school anyway, so he had to go there to take on the task.
Moreover, there would definitely be stalls selling snacks at the festival, so getting some free food and drinks wouldn't be a problem at all.
Konoha Village was too large and had no modern transportation, so ordinary people could only rely on their legs. Fortunately, Kirito was already a Genin, so it didn't take him too long to get to school.
He concentrated chakra on his feet and ran toward the school.
As the only ninja academy in Konoha, the Shinobi School was quite large, with about 600 students enrolled.
The graduation time of students varied according to their talents.
For example, there was the genius Kakashi, who graduated from the Ninja School at the age of five. That record had never been broken!
"Kirito! Kirito!"
As soon as Kirito arrived at the gate of the Shinobi School, he heard a familiar voice, filled with excitement!
Looking back, he saw Ino, who had obviously dressed up carefully today, waving happily at him as she trotted over.
Kirito teased, "You're dressed so beautifully today, why aren't you wearing a belly-baring outfit?"
While Kirito was talking, Ino took out a lunch box from her bag and handed it to him, saying happily, "Since you're fascinated by my beauty, I'll reward you with a lunch box!"
Kirito looked at Ino's proud expression, and his heart warmed. But he hesitated and said, "Is this your lunch? If you reward me, what are you going to do?"
Ino rolled her eyes, opened her bag, and said impatiently, "There are two bento boxes! They're for you and me.
How could I be so stupid as to give away my own meal? Hurry up and eat! I even took one of my dad's lunch boxes today, and he glared at me this morning!"
Ino's lips curled up briefly, but it was fleeting.
Kirito smiled helplessly. He could completely understand Yamanaka Inoichi.
It would have been fine if his daughter brought one lunch box for a boy, but she brought two!
Girls really were extroverts.
"Ino, thank you," Kirito said sincerely as he took the lunch box.
Ino rolled her eyes again and said, "Let's go find a quiet place to eat! I'll let you make up for yesterday."
"Are you unhappy?" Kirito looked at her belly, clicked his tongue, and said, "You've gained weight!"
Today was the school festival. Everyone at the academy seemed busy, and the whole campus was filled with a lively atmosphere.
Kirito had changed into a neat ninja uniform for the occasion, looking clean and steady.
Following Ino to a quiet spot, he opened the bento box and started to eat. The taste of meat and vegetables spread in his mouth, and he couldn't help exclaiming, "Mmm! It smells so good!"
"Of course, that's my mom's cooking. If it's delicious, eat more," Ino said, placing her box aside. "This is so boring. I'm going to see Sasuke later!"
Kirito couldn't help but complain silently. Men with the aura of the protagonist always attracted girls easily.
After he finished eating, Ino quickly cleaned up and said, "Remember to have lunch with me at noon. Let's go!"
Kirito waved goodbye to her, looked at the mission light on the map, and continued walking forward.
When he got near the light spot, the system issued a task reminder sound.
"Ding! Triggering the mission: Assist Iruka in patrolling campus safety!"
It turned out to be an inspection mission. Kirito already knew about it. He knocked on Iruka's office door and said loudly, "Teacher Iruka, I'm Kirito. May I come in?"
"Come in!"
End of the chapter.
