Chapter 190 I opened the browser while watching
Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, 7:30 .
In a luxuriously decorated villa at the foot of a mountain, Kaori Ishizawa had just finished her evening meal.
After returning to the room and telling the servants to bring tea to the door later, she locked herself in the door.
Because the next step is her free time.
Well, that's not right either.
It seems like I am free at all times.
She is a little different from others. She doesn't have to go to school on weekdays. She has a special teacher who comes to her home to teach her.
Perhaps it was because of the lack of additional social activities that she developed the habit of reading to relieve boredom since childhood.
This time is no exception.
"You received five books in advance?"
Kaori Ishizawa looked at the documents on her tablet and couldn't help but mutter a few words.
This is the novel document that she had just asked someone to send to her in advance today. After all, her cousin had been mentioning this matter intentionally or unintentionally this morning. Besides, it is the weekend now and she doesn't have to go to cram school.
When there is nothing else to do, I naturally want to read.
It would be too painful to wait until next week. Anyway, the money is paid by ourselves, so there will be no harm in watching it in advance, right?
Thinking of this, Kaori Ishizawa couldn't help but reveal a slightly expectant smile.
She quickly glanced at the titles and introductions of five books. Four of them were obviously about love and romance. Not only were the titles obvious, but even the introductions summarized the stories very clearly.
The only book she found was "Norwegian Wood", which disappointed her a little.
Norway, forest?
She has an impression of Norway, having traveled there before, but does the Norwegian forest have any special meaning?
Unknown reason.
Ishizawa Kaori curled her lips and decided to put this book off until the end.
What she wanted to see was a sweeter love story suitable for 14 or 15 year old junior high school girls, and she didn't want to see anything about forests or oceans.
If she wanted to see that kind of thing, she could always arrange for her family to take her there to see it.
Soon, Kaori Ishizawa, who put "Norwegian Wood" last, found the book she wanted to read first.
It was just the title of the book that confused her.
"'The Gymnastics Teacher in a Girls' School', this is quite interesting. But is this kind of book really related to literature?" she asked doubtfully.
She also didn't want to read those simple love stories in light novels because she found them boring.
It would be best if it is both literary and has some classic love scenes. Only by doing this can you attract her attention.
This book about a gymnastics teacher at a girls' school obviously has the feel of a light novel.
Whatever, it’s better than a forest.
With a make-do attitude, Kaori Ishizawa opened the book.
After just a few glances, her brows quickly frowned.
The text above is not beautiful at all, and has a very rough feeling.
Anyone who has read a lot of traditional literature can feel that this book simply does not have the so-called literary atmosphere. It's not that the writing is not good enough, but that it is not resonant enough for a little girl of her age.
It's not literary at all, and it doesn't have that kind of hipster feel. How can I be attracted to keep watching it?
Soon, Kaori Ishizawa put down the tablet with a look of disappointment.
The content is good. It is simply about the male protagonist, who is a gymnastics teacher, helping to solve various problems of girls at school. In the end, he develops feelings for the girls. After overcoming various difficulties, he finally dates the one he likes the most.
Um.
There is nothing wrong with the narrative, but it just doesn't suit Kaori Ishizawa's taste.
Not literary enough, not sad enough, not having that flavor.
In summary, below average.
"Really? The quality is getting worse every year. How can this be considered a real literary work?" Ishizawa Kaori muttered.
If that's the level, why doesn't she go to Kadokawa Bunko's website?
Do you think your family has too much money, so you spend it on a meaningless competition to make yourself happy?
Although she is still young, she is not really stupid.
Feeling a little irritated, Kaori Ishizawa calmed down a little, went out to bring in the cold tea outside, and then slowly decided to read the next book.
Not too long passed, less than half an hour in total.
The reason I gave up so quickly is because this book was so poorly written.
Perhaps it was the influence of this book that Kaori Ishizawa decided to start reading the second book from the one she liked.
"The Missing Classmate in Classroom No. 7", great, has Mr. Shibata's second sequel finally been released?"
While pouring herself a cup of tea, Kaori Ishizawa excitedly opened the book she wanted to read the most.
The author of this book is very popular with her, mainly because the first work of "Classroom No. 7" was very well written, with both suspenseful parts and romantic parts that girls like to read.
Teacher Shibata skillfully combined these two elements together, successfully turning her, the little princess of the Ishizawa family, into one of her fans.
The main purpose of this competition, of course, is that we heard that Mr. Shibata's new work is about to be released, so we organized this competition so that we can see it in advance.
That's right, Kaori Ishizawa spent a lot of money just to chase stars.
"Didn't it start from the protagonist of the first part? Did you change the protagonist?"
Ishizawa Kaori opened the novel and began to read it while talking to herself.
It is still Mr. Shibata's familiar style. There is a faint sense of sadness in the text. Although it is about ordinary daily life, it has a kind of discomfort that makes people feel heartbroken.
Great, this is exactly what I want!
Kaori Ishizawa became more and more fascinated as she watched, and she became even more focused when she saw the suspenseful part at the end.
Even at this point, the sadness in the text still lingers, and it is worth it for her to spend so much money to hold the competition and support the opponent. Teacher Shibata, great!
Perhaps this writer named Shibata is really talented in this area, or perhaps Ishizawa Kaori simply likes his slightly sad writing style. After being fascinated by it, time passed quickly.
Until the night grew late, Kaori Ishizawa was still holding the tablet computer and couldn't put it down.
dong dong——
There was a knock on the door.
"Miss, do you need more tea?"
The maid asked softly while standing outside the door.
The sudden interruption made Ishizawa Kaori frown instantly, looking a little unhappy.
She was reading the last part and was about to finish when someone came over and interrupted her.
People who like reading or playing games hate this kind of situation to some extent, and Kaori Ishizawa is no exception.
However, her good upbringing allowed her to suppress her depressed mood. After seeing that the water in the teapot was empty, she casually shouted to the outside of the door, "Come in."
"excuse me"
The maid carefully opened the door of the room and came in with a new pot of tea.
In addition to drinks, she also thoughtfully prepared some cookies and butter biscuits.
Seeing this scene, Kaori Ishizawa immediately raised her eyebrows and smiled happily.
Well, the maid is quite discerning.
"Although it's the weekend, it's already very late. Miss, please just watch for a while and then go to rest, okay?" the maid said cautiously.
Taking back what she said, she felt that this maid was really ignorant.
I was enjoying the show so much and you're just saying these things to spoil the fun.
You know, it's only twelve o'clock now.
"I know, I know."
Ishizawa Kaori said impatiently, "I'm almost done reading this book, and then I'll go to bed."
"Then I won't bother you anymore. Miss, please call me anytime if you need anything."
The maid quickly left the room.
After getting some food and tea for the night, Kaori Ishizawa immersed herself in the novel again.
Even after she finished reading the last part of Mr. Shibata's work, she still felt a little unsatisfied.
"As expected of Mr. Shibata."
She leaned back in her chair, throwing cookies into her mouth, and muttered to herself with satisfaction, "It's written so well."
It perfectly describes the sadness, grief, and groaning of unrequited love between young boys and girls.
Compared to the first book, it is so much better. The culprit this time is either Mr. Shibata or the culprit behind it.
That's right, she felt that in order to prevent the emergence of shady dealings, she needed to hint to the people from the four major groups to be fair, just and open.
This is all to protect Mr. Shibata's pearl from being tarnished, but it cannot be said that she abused her privilege.
"what"
"Is it past one already?"
Ishizawa Kaori clapped her hands, looked at the time displayed on the tablet and shrugged.
Looks like I stayed up late again tonight.
In that case, let's just make it an even number and wait until two o'clock before going to bed.
Anyway, there are less than twenty minutes left until two o'clock, and it will feel weird if I don't make it an even number.
Ishizawa Kaori didn't feel that she was so sleepy that she had to sleep.
In that case, I'll find a book to read and kill time until two o'clock.
The plan was clear, and the little princess, who was still in junior high school, immediately smiled happily.
But when she returned the pages on the tablet to the original five documents, she fell into a moment of contemplation while looking at the book with the strange name.
"Let's just take a look at what you wrote." Ishizawa Kaori touched the hair by her ear nonchalantly and murmured, "If it's too bad, you wouldn't have sent it to me."
Although the title of the book is very literary, it doesn't look like it has anything to do with love.
But it’s a good thing this way, after all, the material for my dreams at night can be saved for Mr. Shibata’s work.
If you watch other romance works at this time, the material for your dreams will become disordered.
Reading this kind of purely literary book can help relieve the stress.
Thinking of this, Kaori Ishizawa no longer hesitated. She casually clicked on "Norwegian Wood". She lowered her chair and planned to watch it while leaning back.
But she seemed to underestimate the content of the book.
Obviously, at the beginning, I just wanted to kill time and kill time until two o'clock.
But for some reason, as she watched, her expression started to look a little strange.
As she watched, she changed from lying on the chair to lying on the bed.
As she watched, her breathing became more rapid and her body trembled uncontrollably.
It turns out that this type of work is still a bit too advanced for her, a middle school princess who was raised in seclusion.
