What would you do if you were the protagonist of a novel you wrote
If someone asked this question, Nomura's response would be: "This kind of question doesn't make sense, I don't want to answer it."
When he was young, he liked to read light novels. Later, he felt that he could write and started to write. The works he wrote were well evaluated by his relatives who were editors, and he had the idea of becoming a light novel writer.
This idea later developed into an ideal. Even though I learned about the actual situation of light novel writers from relatives and learned that this profession is not a glorious existence, I didn't want to give up, but determined to set foot on the top level of this industry!
When writing novels, he would of course imagine the mood and actions of the characters in various situations, but he never thought about what he would think and do if he was in the situation of the characters in the novel.
I had this kind of imagination when I read other people's novels before, but that stage has long passed. Now that he is an author, his perspective of reading novels has changed, and he no longer thinks about what he will do when he enters novels.
The novel is the stage for the characters, not the author.
The author is behind the scenes, and only behind the scenes. Mitsushi Nomura thinks so.
So, when he was inexplicably at the frontline base in his work "The Weakest Undefeated Super-Magic Machine God", which won the silver award for the Newcomer Award, he was stunned!
"The Weakest Undefeated Super Magic Machine God" tells the story of a young man who aspires to become the designer of the world's strongest military weapon "Super Magic Machine God" in a world of advanced magic technology. Before the opportunity to learn about the last first-generation airframe still in service, he became an extra maintenance soldier of its maintenance team, met the pilot girl, and then became the girl's temporary partner in an unexpected battle. Dong creatively assisted the latter to defeat the strong enemy of the second-generation machine with the weak first-generation machine.
For his work that was carefully polished and then submitted for selection, the reviewers' comments were basically "very good", but "the various settings are too complicated and a bit difficult to understand", so he lost a little bit and lost to " Undying Avengers," which only won a silver award.
In this regard, Nomura's mood is as he confessed in his award acceptance speech, very unwilling, but the result is the result and can only be accepted.
Then, without knowing what happened, he discovered that he was actually in the frontline base in the novel, and his identity was the protagonist's identity as a "non-staff maintenance soldier"!
According to the plot of the novel, this place will be attacked next, the entire base will be destroyed in a blink of an eye, and the enemy's second-generation machine god will appear as a demon...
Although still in confusion, for his own safety, Nomura had to start to act, trying to issue a warning.
But before he could do that, the attack came.
Like the plot, the base is destroyed by terrifying strategic magic! Our own first-generation machine god hastily faced the battle, and fell into a disadvantage...
At this time, the protagonist in the novel sees the enemy's second-generation machine god's flaws, and firmly refuses to flee the scene with the surviving soldiers. He ventures alone in the ruined base to find communication equipment, and tries to contact the pilot heroine .
And Nomura Mitsushi... Facing the call of the surviving soldiers to escape together, he did not refuse.
Because it's terrible!
The huge base was destroyed right in front of his eyes, so many living people sacrificed instantly, all kinds of corpses and dying struggles... The extremely miserable picture deeply shocked him, making him temporarily lose the ability to think, leaving only daze and fear.
Although I have seen tragic scenes in disaster and war movies, it feels completely different to actually see and experience the scene!
Maybe the next one to die is himself! The horror of this imminent death overwhelmed Nomura.
Frightened, he chose to flee and got into the car where the soldiers fled the battlefield.
He watched the battle scene between the two machine gods from a distance in the car that was leaving quickly. While feeling shocked, he also began to think again.
What will happen if you escape like this
The heroine will die in battle... what will happen to me after that
Just when Nomura was struggling, his field of vision was suddenly covered by black mist.
He wondered what happened, and looked at the other soldiers, but saw their expressions were blank and their eyes were empty.
Nomura asked aloud, but got no response.
At this time, the speed of the car gradually slowed down, and then stopped.
Nomura began to feel weird.
Is this black mist some kind of magic? As soon as he had this idea, he saw a bright red flower growing on the car.
This is the other shore flower.
Nomura recognized it.
Blossoming Bana flowers grew one after another, emitting a faint red light.
After being illuminated by the red light, the clothes of the dumbfounded soldiers began to rot, their skin withered, their hair fell off, their eyeballs melted... and soon turned into skeletons!
Feeling dangerous, Nomura jumped out of the car and ran away.
The skeletons moved and rushed towards him!
Nomura shoots at the skeleton with the magic weapon he carries, and runs away while shooting.
Running and running, the black mist became thicker and thicker, and the field of vision almost became completely dark, and the ground could only be seen by the light emitted by the Bana flower.
Am I actually dying
Looking at the bright red flower symbolizing death, Nomura couldn't help but think so.
Maybe I had a sudden illness during the awards ceremony, and now I am dying, and everything I saw before was just a dream before death...
If this is the case, at least let me have a better dream.
Many skeletons are chasing after them, if they catch up, it will not be a good thing no matter how you think about it.
Treating it as a struggle before death, Nomura kept running, desperately running.
He didn't dare to run into the darkness, and instinctively walked towards the brighter direction, that is, the direction where the other shore flowers grew densely.
Maybe it will just run to Huangquan Road.
With this in mind, he arrived at the place where the flowers grew very densely.
In this gorgeous red flower field, there is actually a wooden door with an exquisite signboard!
Nomura, who was already extremely tired, didn't care to see what the door was, so he stepped forward and opened it, breaking into the space behind the door.
Then I met someone I knew.
"Yuanye... Mr...."
Where the hell is this? He wanted to ask the other party that question.
But his physical strength had been exhausted to the limit, and he couldn't catch his breath. Nomura's eyes darkened, and he just fell down.
Seeing Nomura Koshi collapsed, Seiji immediately stepped forward to check the situation.
"Let me see this guest."
A calm male voice sounded, it was the store manager!
The middle-aged handsome uncle checked the gray-haired boy who fell to the ground, then raised his hand, and the palm of his hand shone with soft white light.
The white light shone on Nomura for a while, and the latter moved and opened his eyes again.
The store manager helped Nomura up, let him sit on a nearby seat to rest, and went back to the back kitchen.
Seiji watched the store manager's back, his eyes flickering slightly.
"The setting that Ms. Hashimoto didn't write appeared..."
