Chapter 376 The first step
"Habu-chan! Here, here!"
Outside the final selection venue, Hanai stuck his hand out of the car window and waved hello.
After native and Sugai said a brief goodbye, they sat in Hanai's car.
"Huajing-san, this car is..." The native looked around in the car.
"The editor-in-chief bought a new mobility scooter. I thought I would pick you up right now, so I tried to borrow it and drive it. Unexpectedly, I actually agreed." Hanai sounded excited, but Mafuyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked ugly.
"Mafuyu-chan?" Native asked tentatively.
"... Habu, don't blame me for not reminding you. Fasten your seat belt, hold on to the armrest, and never, never spit it out."
"Eh?"
Before Tusheng could react, Hanai slapped Mafuyu hard on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Haha, Mafuyu was joking."
Mafuyu was already feeling uncomfortable, but after being slapped like this, she immediately felt something rising in her stomach. This was the first time she had ever seen someone use their driving skills to show off the coquettish moves that could only be used by professional e-sports players in their previous lives.
"I forgot to mention it, Habu-chan, congratulations on your passing."
The native glanced at Mafuyu and smiled shyly at Hanai, "Thank you."
"Come on, Mafuyu, you also want to congratulate me."
Mafuyu was photographed again. She glared at Hanai hatefully, turned to Tusheng and said, "...congratulations."
"Yeah!" Tusheng smiled and nodded vigorously.
Seeing her like this, Mafuyu had nowhere to dump the sorrow in her heart, so she had to swallow it hard, put a big stone on top of it and digest it by herself.
"Hub, why are you so obsessed with idols?" Mafuyu said unhappily.
She didn't know what the native was like in her previous life. At least the native she got along with didn't show much enthusiasm for the idol. Xia Xun, who accompanied him to see Nogizaka, mostly followed the atmosphere and whispered support.
"I don't want to hide behind Mafuyu-chan," Native said. "Mafuyu-chan has a talent for writing, and I also want to find my own talent. I want to try everything I can try."
She still didn't say why she chose the idol career. Maybe she was also influenced by the Akimoto sisters to some extent.
Talents and things like that... Mafuyu pursed her lips, she wanted it too. It wasn't fake, but something that truly belonged to her.
"It will be very tiring. Although my sister is very cool on TV, she often comes home early in the morning. Sometimes she can't sleep for long and has other work preparations. The adults I work with are not all reasonable, and they will be scolded and scolded for no reason.
And also being criticized by netizens..."
"I will work hard and whatever I decide will be done well."
"This is not a question of whether we can do it well... Habu, if you are popular, our time together will be limited. We will not be able to hang out or go anywhere as we please..."
"Then..." Native looked at Mafuyu and said, "Mafuyu-chan, let's work together."
"I?"
"Well, study hard, write books hard, and when Mafuyu becomes a great writer, even if you are lazy and don't submit the manuscript occasionally, you can just put your work aside. In this way, Mafuyu can come to me when I am on vacation."
Hanai in the driver's seat shook her head and said with a smile, "Isn't this something you can say in front of an editor..."
"I was the one who made an appointment with Mafuyu before, and I went to your house to wait for you. If I get busy, it will be Mafuyu's turn," Tusheng said with a smile, "Take the initiative to call me and ask me out to play. Considering that it is not easy to meet, cherish it.
It’s only fair to experience all the emotions I’ve experienced every minute and every second you spend with me.”
"Hab..."
Only then did Mafuyu realize that Tusheng was much stronger than her.
Before coming, during the conversation between Mafuyu and Hanai, Hanai concluded by saying, "Well, most of those geniuses have character flaws anyway, either paranoid or stubborn. You don't need to pay too much attention to what Hibiki and I say." The conversation ended hastily.
But Mafuyu himself knew in his heart how she existed in this world.
Empty inside, living a life of passability, coveting immediate pleasure, and immersed in the meaninglessness of passing time. Isn't this the same as in the last life? She thought to herself that she really hadn't learned her lesson.
The experience of time travel, rebirth, and science fiction mystery fell on a mediocre and ordinary person, and the change in his life was no different from the impact of winning a multi-million lottery ticket. Miracles would be so cheap in Mafuyu's hands, but she felt that
ridiculous.
In contrast, natives have the courage to take the first step out of their comfort zone and are determined to work hard for it, but they are timid and self-imprisoned.
Mafuyu was moved when the car suddenly shook and her head hit the seat cushion. The native also exclaimed and hurriedly grabbed the seat belt in front of her chest.
"Sorry, the clutch was released too fast." Hanai also felt embarrassed for disturbing the pure friendship between the two girls.
The car started to move with swaying motions, and the sound of the engine was unlike that of a serious engine.
Mafuyu didn't bother to complain, for fear that Hanai would step on the accelerator by mistake. But there were still some things she wanted to say, as proof that she had also taken the first step in this world.
"Xiao Huajing, I plan to write a novel by myself. It may take a long time. After I finish it, can you read it for me and give me some advice?" She looked at the native in the rearview mirror, "The same goes for Habu."
"Is it okay?" Tusheng asked. She doesn't often read novels.
"Well, I want Habu to see it." Mafuyu nodded.
Although Hanai was puzzled by Mafuyu's statement, he still agreed, "No problem. One of the editor's responsibilities is to read the manuscript anyway. However, Mafuyu's novels are very mature, and the previous works were so complete that they did not need secondary revision. I
Maybe I can’t make any comments.”
"This time is different." Mafuyu looked out the car window. Of course, her hands were still holding on to the armrest tightly.
Chapter completed!
