How a Hero Lives as a Writer

56 – Aucklia’s Festival (2)

On the first day of the festival, I ran around with Reina who was full of energy.

Still, it was strangely in excellent condition.

This is all thanks to morning training.

“You have worked hard, lord.”

“Whoa… Thank you, Sir Louis.”

I wiped off my sweat with the towel Sir Louis gave me and warmed up.

“Thanks to you, I walked around that much yesterday and I am not tired.”

“Everything is possible because the lord has worked hard.”

Thank you for the compliment.

“I might write Lady 7 in my room in the morning and leave after noon, but I don’t have any plans.”

“Okay.”

After parting with Sir Louis, I wiped my sweat with a warm towel and sat down at the desk.

ㅡ A festival is in full swing, but you are writing a novel?

You sang the song of canned food every time, but this time I told you to use it, what do you say?

ㅡ That’s normal, isn’t it a festival now?

It’s rather a festival, so shouldn’t we sort out the inspirations that come to mind now?

In Volume 5, the two learn the secrets of each other’s families.

Volume 6 deals with the two people getting to know each other while on vacation.

ㅡ Volume 7 is the second semester, right?

Yes. From Volume 7, the story of the second semester of the academy begins.

The second semester is the season with fun events such as fall sports days, school trips, and cultural festivals.

I was contemplating how to write it, but looking at Oklia’s festival, I feel like inspiration is springing up.

So I think I should organize the plot at least.

ㅡ You, that’s a disease.

Originally, modern people live with at least one bottle.

ㅡ Maybe Reina is waiting for you?

Well?

Yesterday I was running around so fast….

ㅡ Hmm. So what are you going to do with volume 7?

That’s the problem now.

ㅡ Didn’t you say that inspiration springs up?

“Kwaaah!”

Do you know this feeling of not being able to organize while inspiration strikes?

ㅡ Well?

“Kuhm.”

After clearing my throat, I decided to tell Helena about the problem I was worried about.

“There is a very successful academy that has been made into a movie as a series.”

In that work, a sport called Quidditch comes out.

A team of 7 players climbs on flying sticks and catches flying balls to score points.

ㅡ I think it will be a bit difficult here?

Yeah, it’s a little tough here.

But what I paid attention to is that it is a fantasy sport.

ㅡ A fantasy sport?

At first, I just wanted to do it as a global sport, but since it’s a fantasy, I thought that a fantasy-like sport was also necessary.

ㅡ It might be difficult because the individual differences are so severe.

… Is that so too?

ㅡ Didn’t you say that the academy you’re making is divided into high school and university divisions?

Yes. I intend to do that.

ㅡ In terms of Angelica’s age, she must have just graduated college. Will a team with a child like Angelica play against another team?

As expected, it would be difficult to play sports tailored to a superman who pierces a person’s throat with a Jigun, right?

ㅡ So, I think the direction you initially thought of is correct?

Ah, but something is still missing.

Should someone seek advice from someone else?

ㅡ I don’t think Angelica can give you very good advice?

… I guess so.

Unlike before, he has a softer expression that smiles a little more often, but Sir Lewis is like a regular knight.

He must have never thought of moving his body outside of training, so it would be difficult to ask for advice.

At least, Kruger is the one who can come up with fresh ideas, but he doesn’t show interest unless it’s about new technology or metallurgy.

I’m too busy devising a way to use the waterwheel on the frozen riverside in winter, so I’m sorry to talk to you.

“I should have asked Bertus before he left.”

Compared to humans, he’s a being who can be said to have lived through the ages, so he might have gotten some good advice.

ㅡ Still, I hope he never comes back, right?

“That’s what….”

It’s not that I hate Bertus.

Because I was an elf I could talk to more than I thought, and he liked my work.

But that’s a separate issue.

Currently, Bertus and his daughter left to inform the tribal union about the existence of the hero.

So the return of Bertus means that the high-ranking members of the Tribal Union are coming.

Not everyone will be as kind as Bertus, so I already feel like I’m about to get a hole in my stomach.

Still, you said you’d be back before the festival is over….

“Whew.”

I got off the chair and lay down on the floor covered with a blanket.

“Kuaaa.”

Now, it has reached a level where a single sentence I use as a joke has a direct impact on Mare.

That’s why it feels like the story is not easily drawn.

ㅡ Where did the springing inspiration go?

He’s gone~♪

I can’t seem to find an answer to this.

As expected, I need someone’s help.

When a novel gets stuck, it’s often solved by doing something else rather than wasting time groaning.

I decided to go see Raina after lunch.

***

“You came here for a novel, not a festival?”

“Eh.”

Reina was in the middle of a festival, but she looked at me with an expression of amazement as I was writing a novel.

“Does this sound like such a surprise?”

“Haa….”

Reina was about to say something, but let out a sigh and shook her head.

ㅡ It’s not surprising….

I don’t know why this is surprising….

“What writers need is more rest than advice.”

“My daily life is the everyday dream that all writers dream of, isn’t it?”

Start the day with a workout with Sir Lewis, who is like a trainer who gives one-on-one coaching.

The chef hired by himself prepares delicious and healthy meals, and the employees clean the room.

Unlike the web novel market, it is a way of publishing books, so you don’t have to print 5,000 characters every day.

But you need more rest than advice?

How much more do you intend to corrupt me!

“I want to play….”

Reina said that and she sighed slightly in regret.

“I actually thought I needed a break too.”

“Isn’t it?”

ㅡ An easy guy.

Perhaps because of the height difference, that gaze slightly raised her eyes… !

I had an unexpected second-day festival.

“Let’s go to the academy this time.”

“That’s right.”

Still, I decided to take a break, but I guess I should enjoy it.

I decided to change my mind and put the story of the novel in the corner of my head.

“So what was your concern?”

But Reina brought up the topic of her novel that she decided to put away in a corner of her head.

“Because of the sports we will cover in Volume 7.”

“Sports?”

“Uh. Do you have a ball game for children to play? It’s a sport to make rules and enjoy it as a game. I’m thinking of covering this sport in Lady VII.”

“… Will it be okay?”

I can just use it, but what’s the problem?

Reina looked at me with that feeling.

“Because it’s a fantasy, I keep wondering if there is something more fantasy-like.”

I confided to Helena about my worries once again.

Then Reina slightly narrowed her brows and became immersed in thought.

“It is definitely a problem that is a little worrying.”

“Isn’t it?”

“But for now, you need to focus on escorts.”

Reina gave a small smile as she looked at her academy that had come right in front of her nose.

“Don’t worry, lady.”

The place described in my novel is a place that is reflected in reality.

As a result, I developed an attachment and traveled around a lot, so escorts were no problem.

“The entrance ceremony is coming soon, are you ready?”

“Yes.”

The corners of his mouth slackened a little, as if he was expecting a lot from the academy.

A cute guy.

“Would you like to go inside?”

I said that and pointed at the academy. Raina pondered for a moment before she shook her head.

“I think it would be a waste to go in first.”

“Is that so?”

Then I can’t help it.

“What does the academy feel like?”

“Would you like to go inside?”

“Ugh, I’ll be patient as expected.”

Is the academy so expected?

“Are you expecting a lot?”

“I think all women my age feel the same way.”

Raina said that and glanced at Sir Louis.

Then Lord Lewis nodded her head in agreement.

What… It’s fun to hang out with friends her age.

Because it’s a caste society, making friends is a bit difficult, but I believe it will work out somehow.

“But the road here feels very wide.”

“I asked you to build it that way.”

“Was there a reason for that?”

“First of all, since the academy attendees are nobles, I thought they would use the wagon a lot. And for the parade, the roads need to be a bit wider.”

“What is a parade?”

“Ummm… Can we say that the members of the troupe are walking along the main street and presenting the stage? There are no lines, just like dancing or performing stunts.”

“Wow!”

Reina looked at the main street with a look of great anticipation, as if she could imagine the scene.

No matter what you imagine, you will see more.

Ha ha!

ㅡ Are you going to visit Kruger again?

Because only King God General Kruger can make a parade car.

I bet Krueger would be interested too?

The parade car has to be made in the form of a modified bicycle, so Kruger, who has a lot of interest in mechanical devices, will jump at it.

The image of the parade car going around is already good for my eyes.

As I was walking with such happy thoughts, I saw children playing in the street kicking a ball.

“Jack! Aren’t you playing with Adela today?”

“Shut up!”

A little boy named Jack blushed for reasons other than the weather and kicked the ball as hard as he could.

As expected, the ball bounced upwards, flew up, and crashed into the wall with a rather loud sound.

“Ouch!”

“Jack! Are you crazy?!”

“Uh, ugh….”

It was a dangerous track that could break the windows of a building if it went wrong.

It’s dangerous….

“You said you were making that ball game a sport, right?”

“Uh. It was a sport called soccer in the other world.”

… Let’s stop introducing fantasy into sports.

As an Earthling, swords and magic are romance, but for the people here, they are dangerous tools for hunting monsters.

The idea of incorporating it into sports must be dangerous.

We must distinguish between fiction and reality.

ㅡ I miss you, but I think the sport of Quidditch is a bit dangerous.

Yes, it seems that the direction for the 7th volume has been decided.

“Do people enjoy sports?”

“Would you believe me if I told you that 60,000 people would gather in a stadium to watch soccer?”

“60,000?!”

“Are you talking about 60,000 people… ?”

As expected, it shows interest because specific numbers come out.

Yes, I have decided.

Let’s skip fantasy and play a relatively safe sport.

Still, it feels like it will work well enough.

Novels, plays, cartoons, heaters.

This time it’s sports!
