“What's the theme of the compet.i.tion? Supernatural?”

“Nope, the theme is criminal . ” Chiba s.h.i.+ori grinned as she saw the surprised look on Kimura Kazuki's face, “My first light novel was a short criminal thriller . I went to Akichi High School because the editor told me that the light novel industry has been influenced by last year's “Re: An Alien Life Starting from Scratch,” and the market has been dominated by light novels with paranormal settings . However, readers are slowly getting bored of it . Consequently, many shunned themes are slowly gaining popularity nowadays . That's why the editor advised me to consider some niche t.i.tles to create a fan base . Moreover, I'm somewhat new to this industry, and I am keen to try all the genres and intend to steer clear of the common t.i.tles . That is how I ended up choosing this genre . ”

I see . Kimura Kazuki finally understood .

As Chiba s.h.i.+ori spoke, she took a light novel from the bookshelf and pa.s.sed it to him .

When Kimura Kazuki received the book, he read the cover . The t.i.tle written in the book was 'Record Book of Matsuzawa Hospital . '

“Matsuzawa Hospital is a famous mental hospital in Tokyo . ” Chiba s.h.i.+ori put on a faint smile, “With the story set at this hospital, I wrote a novel, talking about the conflict between the protagonist, namely the doctors, detectives, and the policemen . This novel had already been published . The editors have liaised with the cartoonists to turn it into a comic . Besides, some of the animation companies have contacted me, hoping to make a film adaptation of my novel . However, they intend to amend a part of my story and add in a new plot . I refused and eventually rejected the offer . ”

“That's great!” Kimura Kazuki was genuinely marveled .

“So… have I pa.s.sed the test?” Chiba s.h.i.+ori was not flaunting her achievement . She only wanted Kimura Kazuki to know that she would do her best to win the contest, “Let's Be A Light Novelist,” and fulfill Yukiro's wish .

“Of course . ” Kimura Kazuki used to think of Chiba s.h.i.+ori as an inexperienced writer . He never expected her first book to be able to get adapted into a film . This significantly boosted his confidence . In addition to that, she also claimed that the theme of this compet.i.tion was her forte .

As he dwelled in his own thoughts, Kimura Kazuki walked toward Chiba s.h.i.+ori .

As Kimura Kazuki was approaching her, they got closer to each other, almost feeling each other's breath . Chiba s.h.i.+ori panicked, her initially steady heart rate gradually increased, and her cheeks flushed red . She lowered her head and mumbled, “What… what are you doing…”

“You will need to discuss the contest with Yuriko . Since you can't see her, I will cast a spell on you, and you'll be able to see specters,” Kimura Kazuki held her slender shoulders and lightly tapped Chiba s.h.i.+ori on her forehead with his index finger . A fine stream of reiki flowed out of his finger .

This was the “Vision Spell” that was invented by Teacher Lin from the Alchemy Division .

Before Teacher Lin's wife recovered her reiki, she was a blind woman . After the recovery of her reiki, Teacher Lin wanted to restore her eyesight and spent two years doing innumerable experiments before he finally invented the “Vision Spell . ”

With the “Vision Spell,” the blind were able to see for the next 72 hours . Besides, as an additional function, the “Vision Spell” could enable an ordinary person to see the apparition .

When Teacher Lin was refining the “Vision Spell,” the country founded the Spiritual Academy and recruited Teacher Lin . Together with the effect of the elixir, Teacher Lin's wife was able to see again . From then on, Teacher Lin became obsessed with alchemy and was diligent in the research regarding the production of elixirs .

The “Vision Spell” was then included in the Compilation of Spells that was made available to the public . And now, the “Vision Spell” was handy for Kimura Kazuki to make it possible for an ordinary person to see the apparition .

During the early days when the “Vision Spell” was practiced, it brought great pain to people whom the spell was cast on . But after Teacher Lin's multiple amendments, the spell was way more efficient now and no longer caused pain and side effects .

Chiba s.h.i.+ori felt a warm current that was running in rivulets from Kimura Kazuki's index finger into her forehead . The streams glided across her forehead rapidly . Before long, she began to feel different . She felt as though a comfortable and cool breeze swept across her eyes… At that moment, Chiba s.h.i.+ori's eyes were as bright and tranquil as the black gemstones, and she quickly noticed something strange… She seemed to have recovered from her short-sightedness .

She had always had myopia, but it was not a severe one . On regular days, she did not wear gla.s.ses, saved the times when she read or worked . She never thought that the “Vision Spell” performed by Kimura Kazuki could actually cure her compromised eyesight .

Three seconds later, Kimura Kazuki removed his hand and never spoke a word again . As her consciousness s.h.i.+fted, Yuriko Kawachi appeared in Chiba s.h.i.+ori's room out of nowhere .

Upon her materialization, Yuriko Kawachi seemed shocked . Then, she ranted, “KimurKun, you should've notified me before bringing me here . How can you summon me so abruptly?”

She was in the middle of a conversation when Kimura Kazuki brought her into the white room without warning . Despite being a specter, she needed her human rights too .

“Yuriko!” Although Yuriko Kawachi's appearance startled her, Chiba s.h.i.+ori was astonished at the fact that she could now see specters .

Yuriko Kawachi seemed identical to her living self . The only difference was that she was no longer standing on the ground . Instead, she was now floating .

“s.h.i.+… s.h.i.+ori-chan?” Yuriko Kawachi stared at Chiba s.h.i.+ori . Stunned and doubtful, she asked, “You can see me?” Back when she was in her home, Chiba s.h.i.+ori was not able to see her . However, as she noticed Kimura Kazuki's presence, she immediately grasped the situation .

Very quickly, Chiba s.h.i.+ori and Yuriko Kawachi were both immersed in their chatters . Nonetheless, they knew each other earlier on the internet . They were one of the founders of [Light Novel Room] .

Then, they began to discuss the contest, “Let's Be A Light Novelist . ”

Their conversation was soon interrupted by Kimura Kazuki as he realized that it was already half-past five in the afternoon after he checked the clock . He had to go home to prepare for his cla.s.ses with the Furuhas.h.i.+ sisters later .

Seeing that Yuriko was going to leave alongside Kimura Kazuki, Chiba s.h.i.+ori asked, “Can you make Yuriko stay?”

“Stay?”

“Yes . Since light-novelling is not KimurKun's forte, you should leave Sister Kawachi here so that we can discuss the novel's plot at night . Besides, we can also take this opportunity to come up with the book's t.i.tle, the synopsis, and brief content for the first chapter,” Chiba s.h.i.+ori explained as she looked at Kimura Kazuki with a puzzled look . She did not understand why Yuriko had to leave with Kimura Kazuki .

“You mean that you're going to fulfill Miss Kawachi's obsessiveness?” Kimura Kazuri gave a delayed reply as he was dumbfounded .

Chiba s.h.i.+ori nodded . However, she was slightly perturbed, looking at Kimura Kazuki's expression, “Is it possible?”

“I reckon that . . it is possible…”

At that moment, it was as though Kimura Kazuki had discovered a new world . Chiba s.h.i.+ori had opened his mind to something new .

It was certainly feasible for an ordinary person to fulfill the apparition's obsessiveness . After completing the obsessiveness, anyone could absorb the reiki that was transformed by the apparition . He would only have to keep himself updated with the progress . He could directly take it in after Yuriko Kawachi had successfully turned into reiki .

Apparently, he was confined by his own mind before this and failed to think out of the box . He was frustrated, thinking that he needed to partic.i.p.ate in the entire process of fulfilling the obsessiveness . In fact, he had planned to commit a significant amount of time to study the light novels of many different genres .

But, as Chiba s.h.i.+ori argued about how she could single-handedly complete Yuriko Kawachi's obsessiveness, he realized that he could actually sit back and do nothing . It did not matter how long she took, he only needed to wait until the day she succeeded . He could totally reap without sowing .

At that moment, Kimura Kazuki felt as though he was freed .
