How do you think a story should start? Maybe something innovative for a market that is already very much the same, it is very noticeable that some stories are the same, or at least have the same mechanics and category, so what is it that differentiates them from others? That is clear, make a small change that makes you different, and the truth as I told you if you notice that small change that you yourself say: I already saw this, only different is.... And there you draw your own conclusions, from where this fever of telling the same story will have started, having the same as expected but now it is different, sometimes more than innovating with an unseen resource, you make yourself say: This seems more like a fetish? Believe me, in my short life and I am sure you too, you will have noticed the things you have seen on your own, one that suffered the exploitation of the genre was the isekai, seriously there are many stories and each one is different, but you feel that it is the same rehash of a previous one that only this one brings something "new" and therefore it is already something innovative, the truth is that I could not tell you, I feel that this something new will always give the same ending and circumstances and events, and is that the protagonist in one way or another end up having, I'll tell you: A Harem, being born the strongest or over time becoming the strongest, coming from an ultra mega strong generation or race, being the chosen one, wanting to live a quiet life, a peaceful time, getting involved and being in the final fight of every occurrence, and in the end, even faking a death that clearly he's not going to die and we know he's coming back, the feeling that he's already become so strong, that. ..there's no more surprise or danger that happens to him, because we know that everything will be okay.
Well, now all that at least I said, that could be said as the standards and clichés that you want or not, we are all going to go through when we write a story, and why is that? Because it's necessary and above all, it's even mandatory, the world and the story itself moves forward, you have to explore your own creation involving more elements that you either didn't have in mind or you already had in mind. But the real reason why some of these many works do come to light, is because of the path given by their own writers, if you want the protagonist to be broken from the beginning, go ahead my king, do it, if you want the protagonist to be weak and with the passage of time, train, take teachings, suffer to finally become gradually stronger, go ahead my king, do it. If you want him to have a harem and all the time show chichotas and potos for the sake of it, go ahead my king, do it. If you want a more raw and dramatic story, a more comical one, a much more serious one, or a mix of everything depending on the moment, go ahead my king, do it. If you realize that any story has its audience, even if it is the most horrible? even if it is the most horrible, there will be someone who will be fond of it, and the one who will want to conclude the story will not be the reader, but the writer, since he started the story, he knows what to write, what will happen and how it will end. Can you keep the original story?
Of course you can, can you make sudden changes to the story? That depends but if you can do it in all cases, you want to start from scratch because now if you have more experience and you finally have more clear how your story will be, if you can do it, it is your work, it is your creation and the one who should care more about everything is yourself. The fact that you have an audience, let's say it's an extra, after all I don't think that all those who wanted to take that step of starting their story, is to cover a large audience first, but at least in my case, is that I, for myself, want to see how far I can go with my creativity and finally give an end to this story that I had for a long time in my head, that instead of leaving it there aimlessly in my brain, at least capture it somewhere that I know it will be there. I think that's at least the first thing that comes to mind, we start doing a lot of things by ourselves, and writing a story is no different from anything else we do. It's like any job or hobby that you're good at, that before you know it, you're already getting a reward for something that you didn't even consider a job, that must feel good, right? after all, it's your project.
Now talking seriously with you, what you will see here and what you saw, will also be the same of the things I mentioned before, yes, this story is one more of the pile that only seeks to conclude in the best way. You are going to see what you expect, only now, unlike the original, I have more in mind what I want and at least, to capture it somewhere to take away that thorn that look, I finished with this part, now let's continue with this one, and at the end there will be a day when, that thorn will be gone, because I will have finished it as I wanted it.
What makes you different from many stories, is your own way of telling them, it's something very common and very simple, it doesn't matter if you are innovative, at good time if you are, it's a great advantage, but if you take the same thing and decide to do it your way, it's a good way to give it your characteristic stamp and say, that's how I do this and that's it. If I want boobs, I put boobs, if I want penises, I put penises, if I want comedy, I put comedy, if I want drama, I put drama, if I want romance, I put romance, if I want...etc etc etc. The category is there, you can take it, only the only different and varied thing is that you are going to write it from scratch, but one thing I will tell you from the beginning. That your main motivation is not to reach a large audience or recognition, but your main motivation is that for whatever reason, you started this and you must finish it, no matter how much time passes, do not do it for others, but for you. The rest is an extra, to do something with love and affection without owing or fearing anyone, I think you will get a good job, write what you like and if others like it, it is a joy that you will keep in mind. It is the same as everything in life.
---------------------------------------------
I was in Lala's room, it's not the first time I'm here, I had visited this home before, although I can say that the first time it was a bit weird, I was passing through the passageway with Papi, when I heard a noise coming from Lala's room, mostly Lala stays in her room most of the time, she is not a hikikomori that...just thinking that word already came to my mind, the typical image that we have all seen...
『Why did she bring a gun?...』
『Gun? 』
Lala has a job and also likes to go out for walks and enjoy the day, even if it doesn't seem like it, after all like the Shinigami role she did, being familiar with the outdoors and around is something she likes. She is a girl who is very active, although it is not the first thing that comes to mind when you see her for the first time. At this I kept looking at the front of the door to Lala's room, I don't know why...but those sounds of footsteps and movement, I've heard them before...kind of missing an impact.
『Is something wrong with Lala? 』
『No, only that, come Papi, let's bring our ears closer to listen』.
To this like some gossips, we attached our ears to the door so we could hear better, and it was true my guess, to be very attentive I could hear better the movements and steps that were made inside, is she exercising maybe? Lala exercising? Maybe, but I think I hear a slight sound of words, but I don't understand what she is saying, it's like she is whispering it?
『Death has a way, the light sooner or later succumbs to the loss of the most valuable, those who feared for this day, witness the arrival of who cannot escape, who is afraid at the end of his days, is because he did not mature and only remains a child 』.
To this Papi said everything in a serious and even dramatic way, I who was next to her and could hear it all, turned my head terrified towards her, everything she said and the way she said it, it really made me another person Papi, was it really her? I was in a bead of sweat and very worried that....
『That's what she said, though I didn't understand very well, always Lala stops saying weird things when she's alone *smiles* 』 -『¿? Is something wrong? M-nii-chan? 』
At this I was silent, but it's that silence that everything is fine and I was worried for nothing, I breathed a sigh of relief, there's that good, I thought that Papi had become insane out of nowhere, that maybe he has a fragmented personality, you know, like he forgets certain things, and not to forget that he disowned me within minutes of us meeting and wanted to kill me.
『ヾ( ~▽~)ﾂ』-『Good thing you're still you *laughs* 』
『What are you laughing at M-nii-chan? Did I say something weird? 』
『So you just repeated what Lala just said, I didn't hear anything, you sure have a good ear Papi 』
『I have my own gifts and I'm very proud of them! Not only do I hear what Lala says, but also what others say, ah! I hear how someone is taking notes! It must be my husband who is studying! I hear the refrigerator open, it's probably Mia checking to see if we have supplies! I also hear someone going through the downstairs passageway...』
At this Papi went to get a little closer, he walked through the passageway where we were and walked until he reached the side of a window that overlooked the patio, and he could see how Mero was getting ready, filling a watering can to spray the plants, at this Papi opened the window.
『Mero!!!! Hello!!! *happy* 』
Where Papi was flapping his wing with joy, while Mero passed by likewise waving his hand with a smile. At this again Papi came over to tell me.
『Mero is about to get his plants wet! I don't hear clop clop clop clop anywhere even if I try hard, that means Centorea is not home! 』
『He's gone to do his exercise routine in the open field, I think he's also going to train his disciples today 』
『And I also feel! I feel that someone is stalking us with his eyes *serious* 』
At this I don't know why, Papi ruffled her feathers from one moment to the next, I think it's because she was so present her instinct here, that she made a bad face, but...damn, what love does damnasea, even if she makes a bad and intimidating face, I can't help that she still looks very cute and tender like this. I was looking at the end of the passageway behind me, which when I turned to look, I could clearly notice how red eyes were looking at us out of the corner of my eye.
『Ah! It's only Rachnera! Hello Rachnera! *happy*』
She quickly went from being in an aggressive position, to calming her feathers and temperament, and was flapping her wings as a greeting, to this I also saw Rachnera as she was playing hide and seek, she said nothing, she was just with a null expression, but out of nowhere she was smiling in a calm way. And he would then withdraw, waving his hand to indicate his greeting as well.
I did not understand this very well, and I am a little worried, as you know it is not the first time he does this, I have been watched by Rachnera all this time, and of course I do not forget what he told me that day, I am really afraid, I do not know what is waiting to happen, I have no idea. But I must be alert and not let my guard down, it gives me a similar feeling to Rouge, although I feel that she held back a little, held back? Well, with what the other girls told me and the idea I have of her, I feel that she is capable of assaulting me at any moment. I should be prepared for when that happens! I should have a chisguete almenos.
『And I'm also hearing something slimy moving, though also with a slight echo, that must be Suu who's in the bathroom *smiles* 』.
To this if that surprised me what Papi could deduce, and all this thanks to the fact that he has a good ear, although it's not quite perfect, he has to get very close and concentrate a lot on what he wants to hear to give a final answer. But anyway it is a very interesting skill. Anyway I'll stick with Lala's, everything Papi repeated then she said it, and the slight movements and sounds we perceived then....
『Ah! Don't tell me what...』
I didn't have it very much in my mind that time as I do now, but I'm not going to lie, I was very curious. So for that day we just went about our business while I waited for the perfect day where I can pay back everything they have been doing to me.
All was quiet at home, everyone going about their daily routine, but I as an undercover spy and ready for fights, along with my partners Papi and Suu, we embarked on a very dangerous mission which is.
『『『Enter the Shinigami's Domain! Suu! 』』』
At this we looked at our surroundings, we walked through the passageway imagining that it was a terrible dungeon path to reach the path of the doors where the Shinigami is. We tried our skills, Suu was camouflaging herself and advanced slowly sticking to the wall like a goo, while I was hiding and advancing little by little covering myself from the furniture in the passageway. While Papi, like a spider, had fixed his back claws to the ceiling, and was slowly advancing with the help of his wings. It was an impossible plan to carry out, since to this day, according to my informants, no one in this house had ever entered Lala's room, it was the greatest secret there can be in our world. At this Mia was climbing up to the second floor by the stairs, this is bad for us, no one has to discover us! Suu is perfectly camouflaged, no problem with her, Papi is on the roof and unseen by anyone, no problem either, but me...if Mia goes to the right I'll be safe, but....
『(Turn to the left!)』
To this we had a problem, to this both Papi and Suu knew that this mission is in danger of being detected, where quickly to the full eyes of Mia who was walking calmly through the passageway, she quickly saw how a little boy, M had left his safe position to give a very pathetic cartwheel, he really looked like an inexperienced child, to this clearly Mia saw it, and her first reaction was.
『(How cute *smiles*) Little M, are you playing or what -----』
Glup....
At this a sound was heard on the wall, Mia took her attention to the latter, that there was nothing unusual, just the wall, a few too many decorations as well as more furniture, she didn't realize that it was Suu who distracted her and had hidden behind those same decorations. When she looked in front of her again, she realized that something, Little M was no longer in front of her. To this Mia finally reacted, and she could understand everything, she would slowly walk to the position where M was, and as if it was a cartoon reaction, even with her hands she made the typical sign of being pensive by holding her jaw.
『Uhmm...that's weird, where did he go, he just disappeared...uhmm...this kid, he's such a freak 』
Mia continued on her way while she didn't know what had really happened, when she finally retired and was out of sight, M came back down to the ground safe and sound, what happened was simple, in order not to be seen by Mia, he quickly made a plan with Papi, she fixed her claws tightly and dropped her body, M took his wings, where he was quickly lifted by Papi and both were glued to the wall, it was enough time to not be discovered, and when everything was perfect, he came back down to the ground. At this M was happy, and with a thumbs up, he made Papi and Suu understand that they did a good job, who she also enjoyed it.
『Good! Let's continue with the operation』
I said it in a whispered way, but at this Mia was looking out of the corner of her eye down the passageway, she had already realized what had happened, as it was simple to guess, she didn't even have to look up, but she could see perfectly that Papi and M were on the roof. She was smiling the Lamia, as she saw it as child's play, and would stay present to see how all this would end.
Arriving at the location, at Lala's door, we did the following, our target was in her domain, perfect, first we tried to do the quiet way, but to this we asked Lala nicely if she could let us pass to her room, she quickly refused quietly, it was a no as normal. But I'm sorry Lala, I know you didn't do anything to us, you didn't make fun of us and you don't have anything bad against us. But I speak for me, who didn't respect my privacy and entered my room without even asking me, so I'm sorry Lala.
『You're going to pay duck today! 』-『Go Suu! 』
As a trainer, I sent the Slime Suu to infiltrate the domain of the Shinigami, who Suu thanks to his build and moldability, was able to enter through the small space that the doors have, as soon as he entered, what Suu saw with all the imagination that we put in our heads, is a Lala who was in a battlefield, reciting low spells and with accurate movements launched great magic skills. And at every sentence she finished and every spell she cast, a smile of satisfaction could be seen on her face. But at that moment that also Lala was immersed in his fantasy, Suu managed to commit the final act, managed to open the lock and slowly passed to open the door, who Papi and I each, we stuck on the wall both left and right for surprise, with a sweat on the face ....
*crunch*
At the sound of the door creaking open, Lala quickly realized that instead of acting calm and collected as usual, this time she went to the door with speed to close it as fast as she could, but what we didn't count on was that first, her door was opening from the inside to the outside. So Lala first wanted to see who it was or what it was that opened the door, and she literally pushed the door hard to the right side of the wall. The side...where M was waiting.
POM!!! POMM!!!!! POMM!!!!!!!!
I who wanted to surprise her, ended up being slammed hard against the wall, and where at that Papi who was ready, seeing that Lala came out, went to surprise her screaming!
『We got you now!!! Lala!!! *happy* 』
It was only Papi who surprised her with his wings pretending to be cat's claws, but Lala didn't understand, and in the silence that passed, Papi asked why M wasn't by her side. To this they heard how someone hit his forehead with the door, Lala to this and Papi went aside to see what had happened, and they ended up finding M who was totally surrendered, with his eyes rolled back and on the floor.
『This secret technique...I didn't see that one coming...*dead* 』
And with that, M took his last breath, to this seems to be exaggerated, a little boy lying there pretending to have died, some 2 girls, a Harpy and a Dullahan looking at a boy lying on the ground, and at the end of the passageway watching everything, a Lamia worried about what just happened, she didn't react for what she saw, she just stood there with her mouth open. To this Papi had only one thing to say.
『Lala, you beat M 』
『No, I...hey, are you okay kiddo? ...』
『Little M!!!! Get up!!! Tell me something!!! Little M!!! *sad* 』
At this at last Mia interrupted stopping to watch and put her child to safety, she grabbed his arms while her tears of worry kept coming out, what was this...Why did it end this way, it looks like the scene of a mother who actually lost her child at a young age, Lala was bewildered and could only see that this was her fault even though it shouldn't be. Lala turned to her back and noticed that there was someone there, and it was Suu who also repeated the movement that they had practiced together before. She did the cat hands and....
『Gaoo!!!! 』
『(Eh?)...Wuuaaa....』
Lala pretended to be surprised, but deep down she was wondering, of what just happened here.
----------------------------------------------------------
『I'm still surprised what happened that day, seriously what was the purpose of all that? 』
『The purpose? Well, it was to surprise you and to finally let us into your room』.
『To my room? Well, they would have asked me and entered without any problem』
『What? But you who always didn't let anyone in, when we asked you that time, you said we couldn't come in.』
『That will always be the first answer I give, it's not nice that out of nowhere someone wants to enter your room while you're in your things, it's to avoid misunderstandings, if they really just wanted to enter my room, just telling me a second time would be enough, I would arrange everything and prepare to receive them』.
I was inside Lala's room, we were having our talk after recapitulating how that day went, to this she explained it to me well, I looked like a fool, just asking you once more was enough to enter? There was no need to plan a whole strategy and so on?
『No, just a second time and a please was enough, or didn't you understand it that way? 』
At this I fell back to the ground, while I couldn't believe that it was just by doing that, asking for it a second time, it really didn't cross my mind, while Lala was confused because she thought I implied that to the others.
『It's not that, hearing your first denial, feeling so serious and natural, it felt like we shouldn't try again, but you didn't get upset when we asked you for something, did you? 』
『bother me? Why would I bother, everyone here needs to get along, I don't hate anyone and I hope no one hates me, if someone wants my help or if they want to talk about something, then I can't deny them to me if they insist on the topic』.
That answer left me surprised, how to say it, it was something I expected but at the same time I didn't see it coming from Lala, but as I am understanding it better, yes...Lala is an ordinary girl. At this I felt like a fool, where I would go on to stand up again and acknowledge our mistake.
『I understand, sorry for the trouble we caused you that day, but now I see it better, do you mind if I come to your room from time to time to chat or just hang out? I also want to get along with you, I feel we have things in common *smiles*』.
To this to my sincere words, Lala kind of stood for a while thinking about it for a few seconds, maybe she was shocked by what she heard, that her response was.
『Yeah sure, no problem』.
Wait...wait a moment, I could notice something different this time, Lala has a curious skin color, that must be why I could notice that she blushed slightly even though she wasn't smiling, I think it was good that she said that, besides we both heard it that day when we tried to infiltrate her room, since Papi commented when everything was fine.
『Lala talks to herself in her room, M-nii-chan talks to herself in her room too 』
To this our reaction was pure blushes, because we both knew what we were doing in our rooms. Where Mia would also add that.
『Little M also moves weird, as if he thinks he has powers, as if he casts spells, he even shouts: Hyaaa!!!! or something, right Little M? *happy* 』
『!!!! No!! That's it!!! That's why!!! I have to be immersed for it to go well...*red* 』
『Then the movements that M-nii-chan does, Lala must also do them! After all the sound they make is similar!!!!! Suu! What did you see Lala do that day? 』
At this Lala turned very red, she was about to go through an embarrassment, which Suu who could see a little but that said a lot. She stepped to stand in front of us, and replicate what she saw in those moments. Quickly Suu as a powerful person, expert in magic and hunting movements, made impossible actions and movements with his body, such as pirouettes and so on, his hands moved and seemed to conjure magic. It seemed more like silent movies, since Suu did not speak perfectly, but we could notice how he moved his mouth imitating what Lala said. At this we just stared and Mia went on to try to tell what Suu's lip movements were saying and....
『With my power I will conjure------』
『AHH!!! Please Mia!!! Don't say it!!! Don't make me embarrass myself anymore!!!!! *red*』
『Hehehehehe I'm sorry 』
It was the first time I saw Lala very embarrassed, with her cheeks red and very expressive, this was very interesting for me and it was my first different glimpse of the Dullahan. But to this that Lala was going through embarrassment, it seems that I finished her performance that Suu was doing, as from her embarrassment she passed by noticing that.
『Those moves are no longer mine, who is she imitating now? 』
『Ah!!! Look! *happy*! Those are the moves that M-nii-chan is doing!!!!! Please pay attention!!!』
『Don't wait!!! What that!!--------』
Now I was time to pay my hour of shame, when I noticed that now she was imitating me what I was doing, I was getting extremely red, of course I didn't want them to see more, instead of complaining, I was going to go to Suu to stop her, but at that I felt a pull,or rather that something was holding me back, to this as I turned my it was Lala who stopped me, her look alone would be, it was as if she was telling me.
『You join with me 』
『༼ ༎ຶ ෴ ༎ຶ༽』
I couldn't do anything, that day, both Lala and I had our most intimate secrets revealed to the people we didn't want them to know.
『Well, at least Mia saw it as child's play that day 』
『I hope so, I'd rather let that moment pass, and well M, what did you come here today for? 』
What did I come here for? It's the first time I've been asked that question, well the truth is not like I have a super definite plan, I just wanted to spend time with Lala, at that I asked her what she mostly does in her room, where the Dullahan answered me.
『No, nothing』
That already made me become alert quickly, that way of answering quickly, that little bit of fear that I speak with, is hiding something from me, you can't just lock yourself in your room all day without doing anything, I know that you also go out encuando to take your walks, besides you have your work in the afternoons until the evenings. Are you going to tell me that a productive girl like you does nothing in her room? I'm sorry Lala, but someone who was not very social in a part of her life, recognizes someone who was not very social, I went to look again at her room, and yes, this is very easy to recognize, there are many light novels on her shelf, as well as many manga, and without removing the flashy, she has many figurines of fictional characters also decorating her room, she has no posters that if, rather what is on the walls are papers, many papers, and above all the most obvious, that small section of study. I looked at Lala with frowning eyes, as if I wanted to tell her not to hide what was visible, but Lala continued with her poker face without wanting to reveal anything, I kept looking at her, I stared at her eyes to see if she finally gave herself away, but Lala continued looking calm and serene not to reveal anything, I spent minutes of dueling looks until ....
Pom...
Lala's head ended up coming out of her neck for some reason, the good thing is that she was able to hold it with her hands before the impact so nothing happened. There was nothing weird, I was worried about her head coming off but...why did it fall off? it's fine, sitting perfectly and at a good angle, not that her head is easy to fall off, I understand it used to be like that, but now at least it has how to say it, a little more glue and durability.
『Why did your head fall off Lala, is something bothering you? 』
『No, nothing's wrong, it's something common, it's just that...』
At this staring at me, I used a technique that I didn't know would work, but Rino always told me that it's impossible to take your eyes off something you care a lot about. So I prompted Lala to look towards the writing section she has, where I made a quick glance at the where Lala to this by pure chain reaction also looked and....
Quick as thunder I wanted to go to the desk as there was a pile of sheets stacked one on top of the other, the quiet atmosphere that was there, literally ended up being destroyed here, Lala to see that I already discovered everything, the truth was not difficult. I wanted to take the leaves, but something stopped me at that moment, it was Lala who was holding me by the garment, I could see how she was making an effort, with one arm she was holding her head, and with the other my garment, but....
『The figurine !!!! 』
I shouted without thinking, where Lala again went to look at the section of her figurines where I managed to distract her for a moment, I managed to free myself and get to the pile of leaves, I knew it! There is something written here! I wanted to read it, but quickly, a hand ended up snatching all the pages from behind me, when I turned around I realized it was Lala, with one hand she was holding the pages and with the other her head. She was a little taller than me but it was not a big deal, I tried to stretch my hand but... Lala stretched her arm where I could not reach. I was fighting her but I couldn't in any way, to this Lala was telling me to give up.
『You better give up M, you're never going to read these sheets 』
『Are you sure, little head? 』
『Little head? 』
At this I took momentum by kneeling where!!!! I took a big leap to grab the leaves at once, but my surprise was that I still couldn't grab them, and that's because Lala also took a leap to make it unreachable. Lala was about to say that it was impossible for me to beat my elders but...That's when I get serious, for he who warns has a thousand years of forgiveness.
『O I don't know, it was something like this 』.
With a simple flick of my fingers, I hit the forehead of Lala who, because of the leap, could not hold her head well and it would fall to the ground without remedy, the misalignment between the head and the body had its consequences, which ended up falling to the ground with all the leaves scattering in the middle of the room. At this Lala was completely defeated, both her head and body could not take it anymore, she could only say to herself.
『What am I doing?』
At this I was able to take a sheet and finally fulfill my purpose, with a loud and recital voice, I would get to speak the first paragraph.
『What will become of life if it is no longer among us, what will become of us if we no longer feel like living, everything we wanted was taken away from us, we only wanted to have a quiet life, we did not ask for anything else, we did not make enemies or deceive anyone, but anyway the tragedy hit harder and the same for everyone, it does not matter a good life, it only matters what happens to you in that life. Now everything is over, the light is gone and only darkness embraces, if the God of Death ends up finding us, what awaits us, death? or salvation? 』
I don't know what the story on these pages is about, but at least I can tell something, that it was written by this girl. At this Lala already placed her head well, and went on to pick up her other leaves that she had scattered on the floor, while all I could say was.
『You wrote this, Lala?』
『Is there anyone else that comes to mind? Yes, I wrote this story that's scattered on the floor, could you help me pick them up?』
It was obvious, I don't know why I wanted to hide it, but now that Lala had made up her mind that this was inevitable, she picked up the leaves and didn't mind if I took a look at them. With a smile I went on to help my friend recover all the work she had put so much effort into.
After making several verifications that all the sheets were fine, Lala was in her small study arranging them in the best way, although I commented to her that it would be better if she kept them in a folder or in some large envelopes, but the answer was.
『I'm not done yet, the first volume is not finished yet, there is no point in keeping something that is not even finished 』.
At this he went on to show me the last sheet of that volume, and yes, it wasn't finished. I commented to him that since when he started writing and what he told me was that it was the last months of the previous year, that he had ideas in mind for a long time, and that he wanted to capture them somewhere so as not to lose those moments of imagination that he had.
『It's a little thorn I've had for a long time, it all started since I was playing the role of Shinigami, focusing on a role like predicting people's death, doesn't that make for an interesting story? 』 -『At the beginning I wasn't motivated to write a story, I was satisfied with being the one who commits such acts, it was fulfilling for me I could say, but since Ms.Smith warned me to stop doing that since it disturbed the peace of the city, I stopped doing it, I don't want to leave here』.
『Disturb? Can you really predict people's death? 』
『It's just a role, the only power I have is to live with my head detached 』
『Ah』
『And since I was banned from playing Shinigami, it was there where little by little the desire to continue with that feeling of being fulfilled, was taking shape as a story happening in my head, and with the passage of time to repress or find another way to feel fulfilled, to write a story that I already had in mind, one day I just wrote and wrote reaching this point, which I feel happy and I don't want to stop until I finish now that I started it 』
To this Lala was telling me about her situation, the role of Shinigami that she has to fulfill, let's put it simply, she likes to act as a Shinigami, she likes to act as a God of Death, she likes to act as a being of great power that can do everything she sets her mind to. I understand it and I think everyone, since even though we once thought about it, and I still feel much more empathy in her since despite the fact that she is all grown up now, she doesn't leave behind what makes her happy, despite how absurd they see it.
『Now I would like to continue writing, but since a while I find myself blocked, I can't continue as I would like to be, that time when I used to write non-stop, now everything I write I undo quickly, it is frustrating to do something that doesn't convince you 』.
As I have started with this drawing thing, I also understand what Lala means, and it is something that happens in general, even many leave what they want so much and made an effort just because it does not come out as they would have liked, they do not want to deliver and have a product that is bad in their eyes. Or in many cases take a large amount of their life to realize that end, which I think I'm into it.
『And the Shinigami in the story, I guess that's you, right Lala? 』
『*red*』 -『It is not so which me, the Shinigami of the story, is a being who dresses as a fallen knight that covers him all over a robe, covering his head above all, leaving to the imagination whether it is someone dead or someone alive, it can be a human or it can be another creature, he handles as always a characteristic scythe, with which he is very skilled in the arts of melee fighting, but he is also capable of great feats with magic. In the story, the Shinigami is not the main theme, but the main characters, are the stories told one after another and how they survive an earth that was destroyed since the 5 moons hit the planet. Now faced with an apocalyptic world, the survivors live to the end of their days, either finding happiness or only hardship and sadness 』.
What Lala told, really was incredible, she gave me a taste of her story, I literally have it at my fingertips, I could read it at any time, the bad thing is that it is not finished, and that we are even at the first volume. To this I was asking him if he had a drawing of the Shinigami to see it, but he told me that....
『There is no drawing, there is no sketch, there is nothing, it's only in my imagination and nothing else 』
『Eh?』
『It's for that reason that I work, at the beginning I worked to be able to buy my things, my light novels, my manga and my figures, now that I know that I can ask for commissions to illustrators, I want to reach that figure so that a talented artist can capture my imagination in a drawing that convinces me. 』
I understand, he also told me that the commission varies, but as Lala wants the best, the figure for a full body drawing, with a stage and all that Lala requires, the price if it becomes too expensive. Could Lala save that money? Well yes, if she sets her mind to it yes, but in the end she ends up telling me that the money she has, she ends up spending it on manga, light novels or else on the figurines.
『Also, I spend part of my earnings at home, we are very greedy...』
『Thanks for your considerable support Lala 』
『When I finally have even my characters shaped as I want, the scenarios, the critical moments, when everything is already there. I want to send my first volume, to a publisher and see if they approve it 』.
I didn't expect this, I thought it would just stay here as it was just for her, but the desire to explore more and want to reach more goals, made me smile at the way Lala has been striving all this time for what she likes. So I couldn't just sit idly by while my friend is striving, and since I'm learning to draw, well....
『Don't worry Lala, when it comes to the drawing and illustration part, I'll take care of it *smiles* 』 -『I'm just starting recently, Mia is helping me, and I think the more I advance the more I'm improving, I don't know when I'll be able to draw even well enough to be considered among the illustrators' standards, but I promise I'll try hard and even do one of your illustrations for your story *smiles*』
To this he said confidently conveying that same calmness and assurance. To this Lala was silent, that when she could finally understand it all, her response if realistic.
『It would be easier to save money, pay an illustrator and have him do the drawings for me, than to wait for you to have the level of one 』.
『!!!!!! You're right...』
『But it's okay, if you want to help me, I can't refuse, I'll wait until you know how to draw very well to commission you for a personal work M, thank you very much for your support *smile* 』
To this Lala smiled, her smile was slight but very pure, and she was giving it to me, I felt it all as an achievement, to this if made me feel very happy, and now I had more purpose to be able to draw as soon as possible, or also take my time to have a great level of professional draftsman! To this it had become late, yes time passes fast, where Lala already had to go to her work, she was getting ready and at that she told me that....
『By the way M, when are you going to start work? 』
『Ah, that, I still don't go to the place where they have vacancies, I don't know...like I still don't feel convinced...』
『Well, in the restaurant place where I work, we have 2 vacancies as assistants, if you don't feel convinced with the place where you were going to work, if you want to...』
『If I go!!!!! Please!!! Take me there Lala!!! *happy* 』
To this I quickly approached the Dullahan, who did not expect my reaction, she was surprised by this, it was as if M was waiting for this moment when she was asked to go to work in that place. Where to this without wasting time, Lala and I were going to what would be my workplace in this world.
