Chapter 85 Attack, Maki! [Seeking for further reading]

Haruno Sawayama didn't stay at Mine Shiori's house for too long.

He came here this time to check on the other party's condition. He was relieved that it was not as serious as he imagined, so after eating the fruit and chatting for a few more words, he left Feng Shizhi's house.

Suddenly, the girl was left alone in the narrow room.

She always kept her eyes drooped and sat in her original position.

But his eyes began to drift uncontrollably to the cup that Haruno Sawayama drank from.

There is still some leftover barley tea in it.

".What?"

Feng Shizhi closed her eyes and sighed softly.

After suppressing the crazy thoughts that suddenly popped up just now, the only thing that echoed in my ears was what the other party had said before.

——Death is not the opposite of life, but an eternal part of life.

Judging from today's era, this sentence is a bit middle-class and rustic.

It makes people feel that this guy is pretending to be melancholy or deep
But for Mine Shiori, it is a little different.

On the one hand, it was because she chose to join a literary club, so she was naturally very interested in this kind of thing.

On the other hand, it was because this sentence was said by Haruno Sawayama.

The meaning has become a little different.
Mine Shiori sat quietly in front of the folding table, alone in a daze for a long time.

It seems like I have thought about everything, and it seems like I have thought about nothing at all.

When the clock hanging on the wall ticked on the hour, Feng Shiori slowly moved.

She started to put away the things on the table.

But his expression was no longer as gloomy as before.

"Want to see."

"I really want to read Haruno's book earlier."

She muttered to herself as she tidied up.

After leaving Mine Shiori's home, Sawayama Haruno did not go back to school, but took the train back to Shinjuku.

Today's weather seemed to be much better than before. After coming out of the station, Haruno Sawayama realized belatedly that it seemed to be August soon.

Judging from past experience, August will probably continue to be hot for half a month to 20 days, and then the temperature will gradually improve, officially starting the step towards autumn.

Of course, the improvement in temperature referred to here is only relative to the highest temperature in July, which was 39 degrees or nearly 40 degrees.

In fact, in August, the temperature is about 34 to 5 degrees Celsius when it is hot. In addition, the weather has become increasingly bad in recent years. These two months can be said to be the most annoying months for Haruno Sawayama.

“It’s really hot in Tokyo”

He let out a slightly heavy sigh as he returned to his home.

"Meow--"

Salmon Balls rushed to the door to greet him immediately.

But Sawayama Haruno, who had walked a long way, was obviously not interested. After a few casual strokes, he put the salmon balls and let it play by itself in the living room.

It wasn't until he turned on the air conditioner and felt the slightest chill passing through his body that the irritability in his heart slowly subsided.

Such hot weather dampened his interest in bartending and making desserts. He obviously just bought a bunch of materials during the weekend last week. Haruno Sawayama looked at the refrigerator and his eyes moved slightly.

There were not only his materials there, but also Maki Miyazawa's. The guy didn't say anything about making some after buying them.

Why don't you try to teach the other party tonight?
By the way, go back and check on your family?

Sawayama Haruno thinks it’s okay.

But all that has to wait until Maki Miyazawa returns home from work. Today is his first day at work, and he doesn't know if anything will happen.

But the store manager’s sister hasn’t called me since morning until now, so there should be no problem, right?

Haruno Sawayama suddenly felt his nose was itchy. After rubbing it twice, he didn't notice it. He went back to the room and took out his notebook to continue his coding work.

Thanks to the chat he had with Mine Shiori just now, his current inspirational state is pretty good.

Because the mental state of the male protagonist Watanabe in the book is actually similar to Mine Shiori's situation.

It was also through Naoko's death that Watanabe gained a new understanding of life and gained new life from it.

Mine Shiori is also worried about the Golden Week incident, her own change of mind, and the death of her mother
It can be said that the two have the same thing in common, the only difference is that Mine Shiori has not completed her self-salvation until now.

"It is because of the existence of death that people will realize how precious life is," Haruno Sawayama murmured to himself.

Salmon Balls sneaked into his bedroom at some point.

But the little guy seemed to notice that Haruno Sawayama was busy, so he didn't bother him. Instead, he obediently lay on Haruno Sawayama's lap.

Occasionally when he gets tired of typing, Haruno Sawayama will stop for a minute or two, touch the salmon balls twice, and then continue to devote himself to the typing work.

He seemed to be typing faster and faster, probably because practice makes perfect.

It was clear that his mind had been divided between two things during this process, and he did not forget to think about things about Mine Shiori while coding, but he was still able to express all the words without any sense of stagnation.

If this scene were seen outside by other colleagues, they would probably be furious to death.

Not only is it because Haruno Sawayama has a vague outline of this book, but it is also inseparable from the improvement of his skills.

The system's rewards were far more powerful than he imagined. At this pace, it would probably not take more than a week for him to send a 50,000-word manuscript to the email address of Kodansha's editor.

Immersed in the stage of bursting of inspiration, Haruno Sawayama kept writing until the sun was almost setting and he felt nothing.

The mobile phone placed beside the table rang with text messages several times, but he still turned a blind eye and focused on the work at hand.

Until the sound of the door opening came from outside, Sawayama Haruno's thoughts were briefly interrupted for a moment.

As if he had predicted something in advance, Salmon Ball raised his little head and said "meow" at Haruno Sawayama.

However, before he could respond, the door to his bedroom was pushed open followed by someone.

Maki Miyazawa stood at the door with a cold face.

"What's wrong?"

Sawayama Haruno looked at each other blankly.

Why do you have such a straight face when you come back? Could it be that you had trouble with a colleague at work?
It always feels like it’s not impossible.

Sawayama Haruno thought about it and felt that he couldn't spoil her, but he couldn't blame her too much either.

Just when he was still thinking about how to speak better, Maki Miyazawa raised his chin and said in a cold tone: "Take off your pants."

".ha?"
