Chapter 123: A Dead End for Writing Novels

School day.

After the marathon, daily life returns.

I go to class and go home every day, and the day just passes by.

Although it is autumn now, the temperature has not dropped much, so the students' school uniforms are still summer styles.

After school, bookstore.

"Sakura, you and your brother are taking turns doing chores?"

In front of the bookshelf, Tomoyo was flipping through the books she needed while chatting with Sakura beside her.

Hearing Tomoyo's question, Sakura nodded and said, "Well, because dad has an important paper to present at this conference, my brother and I discussed and decided that the two of us will be responsible for the housework, so that dad can concentrate on his work."

"When is the press conference?"

"It seems to be next Monday, so now is the busiest time."

"Uncle is so lucky to have such great children like you and your brother." Zhishi clasped his hands and praised.

"Hehe, it's not that great." Sakura scratched her head shyly. She just did what she could with her brother.

"By the way, Tomoyo, how about this book?"

After laughing, Sakura suddenly picked up the book in her hand and gestured to Tomoyo. Tomoyo smiled slightly, took it directly and put it among the books she had chosen.

"Then take this one too."

As he spoke, Tomoyo picked up the books he needed. A quick glance showed that there were as many as seven or eight books.

Sakura was a little dumbfounded by so many books. How long would it take to finish them all?

"These should be enough. Thank you, Sakura."

"Chi...Chishi, what are you going to do with all these books about flowers?"

"Because I have encountered a bottleneck recently, and classmate Xia's inspiration is also lacking, so I want to buy a book to find new inspiration." Tomoyo replied with narrowed eyes and a smile.

"Huh? Inspiration?"

What could make both Chise and Xia lack inspiration at the same time?
"In order to make Sakura's uniform more gorgeous, we must always absorb new ideas and tastes, so that Sakura can become more and more lovely."

"Ah this..."

Sakura's eyes turned into small dots, and she never expected that she was the reason why her two military advisors lacked inspiration.

"Then... Did Xia come to the bookstore to look for inspiration?"

Because Chishi and Xia Yu both wanted to buy books in the bookstore, she accompanied them. Now she knew that Chishi bought books to find inspiration for making combat uniforms, which made her curious about why Xia Yu bought books.

Could it be that he was also looking for inspiration?

"Hmm... I don't know. Xia didn't tell me."

Zhishi shook his head slightly and changed the subject: "Why don't we just ask and find out?"

After that, Zhi Shi shouted to the bookstore, "Xia, we have finished selecting books here."

"coming!"

Following a response, Xia Yu also came out holding a dozen books. The books in his hands were easy to identify. From the spines, you can see that they are basically comic books and novels.

After seeing the book in Xia Yu's hand, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a book similar to Tomoyo's. It seemed that classmate Xia did not buy the book to find inspiration.

"Student Xia, why did you buy so many books?" Although Xiaoying felt that Xia Yu definitely did not buy so many comic books for inspiration, she still asked curiously.

Xia Yu felt a little surprised when he heard Xiaoying's question. Of course he bought so many books to read them. What a strange question.

But this is not what Xiaoying is asking. After thinking about it, Xia Yu replied: "It should be for inspiration." Xiaoying: (°°)
sloppy...

"What is the inspiration?"

Sakura asked again nervously, praying silently in her heart.

Not for her uniform, not for her!
"For my future dream."

call--!
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this normal answer. Although this answer was beyond her expectations, at least it had nothing to do with her.

If Xia and Zhishi's purchase of books were related to her, then she would really feel pressured.

"Dream, could it be that Xia's dream is..."

After breathing a sigh of relief, Xiaoying subconsciously followed Xia Yu's words and said that the books she bought were comics and novels, so the dream must be related to these.

"Yes, my dream is to write a best-selling novel, or to draw a best-selling comic book. However, writing novels is a dead end, so drawing comic books is more promising."

"A dead end..."

Xiaoying smiled awkwardly. Classmate Xia always said something shocking like this sometimes.

"Cartoonist, come on, Xia, you will definitely succeed!"

Hearing Xiaoying's encouragement, Xia Yu chuckled: "Of course, I have even thought about the subject matter. I plan to draw a comic book about magical girls."

As soon as these words came out, Xiaoying suddenly had a bad feeling, and Xia Yu continued to speak.

"The tentative name of the comic is Cardcaptor Sakura. The story tells the story of a magical girl named Sakura who collects magic cards that are causing chaos everywhere in order to save the world. What do you think? It sounds creative, right?"

Sakura: "..."

"In order to make the story unique, I also set the protagonist to not automatically change clothes when he transforms. This way, the protagonist can change into different clothes every time he captures a magic card. Isn't it an interesting setting?"

"Okay, Xia, you don't have to say anything more."

After hearing Xia Yu's story idea, Sakura felt extremely embarrassed. This was just like Tomoyo showing the video he shot about her as a movie and then inviting her classmates to watch it together.

Although Chise has not done this yet, she can easily imagine it.

Also, Xia, it’s fine if you want to be a cartoonist, but why did you make her the protagonist? The story you conceived is just a copy of what happened around her!
However, before Sakura could express her idea, Tomoyo had already arrived in front of Xia Yu.

"Xia, when you draw comics, please let me draw the costumes for the main characters. My inspiration is already flowing!"

"No problem, Tomoyo, your aesthetics and clothing design are both first-rate, you must let more people see and appreciate them!"

In just a few words, the matter of drawing costumes for the comic protagonist was decided.

Sakura, who was watching from the sidelines: “…”

I haven't spoken yet.

"Well, I..."

Sakura spoke weakly, wanting to condemn the act of drawing her into the comics.

Although this is just an idea of ​​Xia Yu, Sakura always feels that sooner or later, Xia Yu will really draw this comic called Cardcaptor Sakura.

"What's wrong, Sakura, do you also want to add costumes for the protagonist of the comics?" Tomoyo looked at Sakura with a smile.

"not me……"

"No problem, no matter what kind of costumes Sakura wants to add to the protagonist of the comics, it's all fine!" Xia Yu also smiled and gave Sakura a thumbs up.

Sakura:ヽ(。>д<)p

Just let me finish what I'm saying!
I'm angry, really angry!
