Yagi Xuezai, who was looking for information in the Chaldean Archives, turned around and looked at the young man kicking his feet on the table not far away with some confusion.
It was a child who looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old. He had short blue hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a fitted black and white striped shirt, a blue vest and blue shorts.
Who would have thought that such a child would be the world-famous Andersen in the future?
As a world-famous fairy tale master, everyone's impression of him, whether it is that he is rich in knowledge, talented, or thinks that the stories he writes are too sad or that he is a bad person, few people think that the person who writes fairy tales is really real.
It's a child.
According to his own words: "This is probably because my most genius was in my teenage years!" There is no way to verify whether this is the case specifically.
Personality, in a nutshell, he is extremely afraid of trouble. It is understandable that he does not like fighting, after all, he is a caster, and he is not good at fighting. It is also understandable that he does not like disputes, after all, he is a caster, and he is not good at resolving disputes. He does not like work.
, this is... Hey, as a servant, no, before that, as a writer, it’s impossible not to update it properly, right?!
In short, Andersen is such a person. In terms of character, he has the typical mentality of an old man who doesn't want to work. He regards enjoying life comfortably as the greatest pleasure. What if the world is destroyed? Who cares? There will be a savior anyway.
It's up to the adults to save it. Andersen can just stay in the library and read books, go to the kitchen to mix some snacks, and just sit back and watch those big shots saving the world!
Because of this policy, after he was summoned, he rarely interacted with everyone.
Yagi Xuezai was still a little surprised when he took the initiative to talk to him this time.
"You said...am I good?"
"Hey! Of course! Is there anyone else here!"
Unexpectedly, Andersen raised his eyebrows with a hint of anger, as if he was condemning "Whatever you say is something that should be taken for granted".
Yagi Xuezhai shrugged, curled his lips, and said nothing.
"You are obviously not a savior, but you do something similar to a savior. You are obviously not a hero, but you merge with the hero. You are obviously not good at fighting, but you force yourself. You - you are very suitable to be the protagonist of a youth adventure story."
Andersen's words probably meant praise, right? Yagi Xuesai thought so and thanked him.
"Thank you for what! It's hurting you! What's there to be proud of being the protagonist of such a boring work? Or what? Are you satisfied as long as you can be written into a book?"
Wow, so you are hurting me? You writers are really good at hurting me.
Yagi Xuezai was unexpectedly not angry, because he didn't understand the insulting meaning of this statement at all. To be honest, he really thought this way: as long as he could be the protagonist in a novel, he would not choose any novel.
——Of course, it would be better if it was a harem-oriented romantic comedy light novel, or some thin little book without explicit details.
"It's really interesting. You are a person full of contradictions and challenges. It's very interesting. I think it's very good. It's a good material."
Yagi Xuezai felt that this time he should be praising himself, but he was not sure, so he didn't say anything.
"I'm complimenting you this time! You idiot!"
"Ah...so happy."
There was no hint of happiness in his voice.
"I asked you, do you want me to write your life? Let me think about it... how does it feel to write a story for you?"
A sly smile appeared at the corner of Andersen's mouth, and Yagi Xuezai felt that something was wrong.
Although it is very tempting to have one's own story written by the world-famous Hans Christian Andersen. But... the reality of Andersen, who hates work, suddenly asked for a job, always felt...
"But, I am a person who has no inspiration if I don't drink. You know, there is a Li Bai in China who wrote hundreds of poems about drinking wine. Wine is a must for literati. So - go and prepare it for me! Let's talk first
, I’m very picky about wine. I saw Daiginjo in the Chaldea refrigerator last time, so give me that one!”
Yagi Xuezai smiled bitterly and said: "Minors are not allowed to drink."
"Why are you talking to that saintly lady? How many times have you said it? Age is not a problem for me as a servant!"
As soon as these words came out, Yagi Xuezai understood that this Andersen had gone to steal wine before, but was stopped by Martha. I am afraid that it was for this reason that he took the initiative to propose this exchange condition, right?
In fact, because someone and someone always lose their morals after drinking, although Chaldea's alcohol reserves are sufficient now, strict control is implemented. Every time you want to drink, not only do you have to write a report, but there is also a quantity limit. Andersen
This kind of request for wine without a crown was probably rejected.
As a caster, his physical strength is really not that good. It is unrealistic for him to bypass the traps and blockades in the food warehouse. That was something that even Orion...ah, the goddess of the moon Artemis could not do before.
There’s no place I can’t break through!
"Suddenly there is no motivation..."
Yagi Xuezai sighed.
"Anyway, now that the world is destroyed, even if you write my story, no one will read it. I'd better not waste that effort."
If it's something else, just help him. Just like increasing your favorability in galgame.
However, this matter was too troublesome. The difficulty was equivalent to defeating the final boss at level 1 in an RPG game. For such a laborious task, Yagi Xuezai also felt that it would be inappropriate to thank him. So, he turned his head and continued to look for the information he needed.
Andersen was speechless and bit his lip. With his temper, he originally wanted to say that if you don't help, don't help! Idiot! But he was really greedy. As a last resort, he gritted his teeth, opened his book, and held a feather in his hand.
He brushed a little and frowned slightly, but in just ten minutes, he had written a full page of paper as he wrote furiously.
Snap, he closed the hardcover notebook in his hand. From the book, the golden magic power surged up instantly. Yagi Xuezai felt a warm current pouring into his body. When he came back to his senses, he felt the golden particles of magic power surge into the air.
After entering the body, the whole body's ability has been slightly improved as a result.
"Wait? This is..."
Yagi Xuezai was surprised.
"Oh, this is the so-called Noble Phantasm. As a follower of the writer family, the works written by him are the epitome of himself. In other words - if I treat you as the protagonist and write about you, your existence will also become
[Ideal appearance]..."
"Oh oh oh! How awesome, Master Andersen! Please write more!"
"Ah, I can't do it anymore, I have no inspiration! Li Bai, the great poet in the East..."
Andersen raised his chin and sighed arrogantly. Yagi Xuesai clapped his hands: "No problem, Daiginjo! I'll be right back!"
Andersen looked at the back of him running out and smiled contemptuously: "Human beings will run blindly as long as they are given a little benefit. Huh, they are just like wild dogs. Forget it, as long as they can hunt, they are good dogs.
.”
Andersen sat leisurely on the chair and continued to read the book in his hand - Grimm's Fairy Tales.
You may feel a little ashamed when you look at your own works, but it's different when you look at the works of your peers. You can criticize them as much as you like.
Of course, in the end, Yagi Sekisai failed to steal the Daiginjo from Martha... In the end, he could only deal with it hastily with canned beer.
