"Gurgle,"

Zaimokuza stammered, swallowing hard. Cold sweat broke out on his temples. "Ready, all set. Please begin!"

"Okay, let's first review the opinions they just expressed."

Instead of stating his own opinion directly, he asked, "Zaimokuza- kun, what do you think of their opinions just now?"

"No matter how you look at it... I think it makes perfect sense."

Zaimokuza Yoshiteru glanced at the three of them and answered Kokoro.

"Don't worry about their opinions, they won't care. Just express your own thoughts."

"Ha... that,"

The Zaimokuza reconsidered his wording, saying, "I think some parts make a lot of sense, but some parts might not be quite right."

"Yes, that's right. Speak your mind clearly."

He began giving examples to indicate that he could take notes.

"For example, Yukino Shita's points about grammar and inversion, and Classmate Yuihama's mention of uncommon characters, are correct. Although they are commonly used in Light Novel recently, they shouldn't be used too much, as that would affect the reader's experience."

"If you want to write well, you should avoid daydreaming during Chinese language classes and read more popular stories and reference books to improve your basic literary skills."

Even if editors exist, they are not professionals who specialize in correcting your mistakes; they are ultimately just assistants in proofreading to make it easier to publish.

"Yukino Shita has read more traditional literature, so her understanding of entertainment literature is somewhat lacking. You can ignore that."

"For example, the issue of the Female Protagonist taking off her clothes, although it's a cliché, isn't unusable, since selling sex is the primary motivation. However, you have to pay attention to the subject matter and context. Generally speaking, even if it's placed in a battle story, it should be placed in the everyday scenes."

"At the same time, the design needs to be both unexpected and natural. If I know what's going to happen the moment the male protagonist walks down the street this morning, the readers will have absolutely no sense of anticipation."

"..."

"That concludes my summary of their opinions. Have you finished taking notes? If you have, I'm going to start saying mine."

Having completed the first step, Sakurakoji Talent asked a question.

"Please wait a moment! I haven't finished writing yet!"

He wrote furiously on the Zaimokuza.

"... Wow, she really is amazing!"

Looking at his eloquent and talkative manner, Yuihama Yui.

"... There's definitely something there, an angle I hadn't considered."

Yukino Shita Yukino frowned in thought, feeling both resentful and reflecting on her own shortcomings.

I waited for a while.

"Alright, teacher!"

After finishing his notes, Zaimokuza felt a surge of pride and shouted loudly.

The courage that had just been dampened seemed to have returned.

How to put it? It didn't feel like he was being criticized by readers, but rather like a senior teacher guiding him through lessons step by step, which boosted his enthusiasm to an unprecedented level!

"Okay, then I'll start from the beginning."

Sakurakoji Talent nodded and turned the book to the first fold.

Having received the Second Miss's payment, he couldn't just do nothing; he still had to do something practical.

Besides, rescuing lost young people and helping them pursue their dreams is also one of his pleasures.

"First of all, the beginning is too complicated, with a whole bunch of settings that will confuse readers. If you want them to keep reading, you need to create an interesting beginning, starting with the story itself..."

"The plot is also very clichéd. Your writing style and attention to detail are weaknesses. If you want to play to your strengths, you need to put more effort into creativity and stop following overused tropes."

"There's too much fighting in the first volume. What's the point of having so much fighting in the first volume? You should try to establish your world-building through everyday life to make readers want to read on..."

"..."

He gave the Zaimokuza for over half an hour, during which the woodworker occasionally asked questions, which he answered one by one.

Even the three people next to them went from being completely astonished at first to finding it fascinating later on.

The studious Yukino Shita Yukino even took notes on her own initiative.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Just listening without digesting the information and putting it into practice won't work. The most important thing is that you actually need to start writing, understand?"

Closing the booklet and setting it aside, Sakurakoji Talent concluded with the greatest truth of the day.

The Zaimokuza stood upright and bowed sharply forward. "Yes! That..."

"My name is Sakurakoji Talent, and I'm about the same age as you, so don't be shy."

"No, that won't do! Sakurakoji- senpai has taught me so much; she's my teacher! I should treat her with the respect due to a student!"

"If you really want to thank someone, thank Club President Yukino Shita next to you. She's already paid you."

"Yes! Thank you, Club President Yukino Shita!"

"..."

Yukino Shita Yukino put down her pencil and sighed, "Don't do this, it's too embarrassing."

"This is the duty of the Service Club, there's nothing to thank us for."

Zaimokuza Yoshiteru looked back at Sakurakoji Talent and shyly tapped his finger. "There's one more thing I'd like to ask Sakurakoji- senpai, is it convenient?"

"Huh? What?"

Zaimokuza asked curiously, "Since Sakurakoji- senpai has written so much, has any of her works been published?"

"Two volumes were indeed published."

Sakurakoji Talent nodded.

A few days ago, when I had some free time, I finished writing the second volume of DanMachi and handed it over to Machida Enko.

He wrote two volumes in two months, wow, Light Novel author like him...

However, thanks to the auspicious energy of this place, Kasumigaoka Utaha complained to him that Machida Enko was pressuring her to start a new book because of this, and that he was in charge of it...

"Really?!"

The Zaimokuza became even more energetic, his blood rushed to his head, his face flushed, and he clenched his fists and raised them.

"May I ask what kind of book it is?"

"The book is titled <Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?>, and the pen name is Yukimi Sakura."

At this point, he no longer intended to hide it, otherwise people would think he was just a smooth-talking, boastful person.

"What a ridiculous title... What kind of story is this anyway?"

Yukino Shita Yukino and made a sarcastic remark.

Unlike her disdain, Zaimokuza Yoshiteru knelt on the ground, his eyes glazed over, as if he had seen a god. His lips trembled as he said, "Could it be... that recent Best Newcomer, the one who handles both the novel's illustrations and the author, Yukimi Sakura! And the one-volume bestseller, DanMachi, which sold over 100,000 copies?!"

"Have you heard my story?"

"Teacher! Teacher Yukimi Sakura! Please take me as your apprentice! (A string of seemingly random characters)!!!"

The Zaimokuza stalks swarmed forward.

"No! You're too dirty! Stay away from me!"

Sakurakoji Talent stomped him back to the ground and clapped his hands in disgust.

"Huh? Is Mr. Talent actually quite famous?"

Seeing this, Yuihama Yui was stunned and asked another person who knew about it, "Hikikomori, what level is it to sell 100,000 copies of the first volume?"

"Probably a bit stronger than the top student in the grade."

"Wow! This country!"

Yuihama Yui was instantly taken aback.

"..."

Yukino Shita Yukino remained silent, glancing at Sakurakoji Talent with a furrowed brow and fidgeting with her fingers.

How can this guy be so good at even a part-time job? How does he do it?

The image of Yukino Shita Hiyori her mind for a moment, and she sighed helplessly. Compared to him, her sister seemed insignificant...

Chapter 327 Yet another woman of the moon.

"I'm coming in."

With the sound of footsteps almost simultaneously with the voice, Hiratsuka Shizuka stepped into the clubroom.

"Teacher Hiratsuka, knock on the door..."

Yukino Shita Yukino powerless to speak.

"Hi hi..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka gave a perfunctory reply, her gaze sweeping over the group before settling on Sakurakoji Talent, "Are you done? Is today's event over?"

"You'd have to ask Club President Yukino Shita that; I'll assume for now that the request has been completed."

His gaze shifted to Yukino Shita Yukino.

Yukino Shita Yukino pondered for a moment before finally nodding in agreement. Although somewhat reluctant, he had indeed fulfilled his request in an extraordinary way.

"Teacher! Teacher Yukimi Sakura!"

Zaimokuza Yoshiteru hadn't given up and continued to press, "Teacher! Can becoming a bestselling Light Novel author really lead to marrying a famous voice actor?!"

"I don't know, I think it depends on the individual. At least I don't have that interest, because they're not as pretty as me."

"..."

X N.

Indeed, he had the right to say that... Compared to the company, Hachiman was sweating profusely, stared at his silver-haired face, which, if not looked closely, would be mistaken for that of an overseas woman.

Gods, what are you trying to do by creating such a character? Are you trying to capture all the men and women in the world?

"Besides, I'm still a newbie in the industry, and I don't know any professional voice actors. I've only recently done some voice acting for a game with some friends... Ah, but I do know a few bestselling authors of bishoujo novels and Shojo Manga."

"What?! A character like Erjiu Qiliu Yisan VIII, who only exists in novels, actually exists?!"

The Zaimokuza was greatly shocked.

"Just how outrageous is your appearance to be called a beautiful girl...?"

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but complain.

"Probably on Yukino Shita with Classmate Yuihama, Yui, and Teacher Hiratsuka."

"Goo!!! I'm going to work hard! I'll try my best to debut before I graduate high school!!!"

The Zaimokuza roared in anger.

"No, Teacher Hiratsuka is too old to be called a pretty girl anymore... Guh?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Hikigaya was struck in the abdomen by a Kaioken from Hiratsuka Shizuka, his body curling into a shrimp-like shape as he collapsed to the ground in agony.

"While I appreciate you calling me a beautiful girl, your use of the prefix 'just' is really unpleasant."

Yukino Shita Yukino, arched her willow-leaf eyebrows, unable to let go of her sorrow.

"Hehe~ That's not true at all~ I can't compare to Little Yukino, hehe..."

Yuihama Yui chuckled to herself, scratching the back of her head, thoroughly enjoying being praised as a beautiful girl by the pretty man.

"Classmate Yuihama, you... never mind."

Yukino Shita Yukino stared at her insincere expression, hesitated, and took back what she wanted to say.

She's become much gentler too.

"What's with Light Novel, comics, and games? You're really doing these side jobs?"

While secretly pleased, Hiratsuka Shizuka also reacted to the few unusual words she had just heard.

"Huh? Didn't I already say that?"

"Tsk,"
