After the awards ceremony ended. I called back the two people who had been briefly kicked out for trying to duel. I was curious why the two finalists who won the Excellence Award suddenly wanted to fight each other. “What on earth are you fighting about in the awards ceremony?” “Oh, Mr. Herodotus! Listen to me! This guy refuses to acknowledge a clear and decisive victory!” “Aren’t you the one being unreasonable?!” “A man should behave like a man and accept it!” “You should act more like…- 591.7 K • Ongoing
- According to the Bible, the souls of beasts don’t stick around but scatter with death. Knowing this made Grey never pray for heaven. He figured a half-beast’s soul wasn’t any different from an animal’s. “Lord of love, grant us the serenity to accept what we cannot change, the courage to change what we can, and the wisdom to know the difference—.” He simply prayed for goodness. He asked for the grace to forgive his unforgivable anger and for the wisdom to tell right from wrong so he wouldn’t…

- The priests from the New Church who came to see me were fidgeting and glancing around nervously. They looked like they were scared of something, just like anyone would be standing in front of a gun barrel that smelled like gunpowder. Given that these were supposed to be calm clergy, it was pretty strange. “Uh, I’m not quite getting the situation here. What is it that you need to be scolded for?” “We have sinned.” “Excuse me?” “We’ll explain slowly. The sins we’ve committed….” * *…

- “Most things seem to be going according to your plan, young master. This contest should be quite a success too.” “Plan? It’s not that serious… I just said, ‘It would be nice if this happened.’ We got lucky.” Since swearing his loyalty to me, Sion had been actively helping out with my ‘hobbies.’ These involved various literature-related tasks. He tackled things that were either too difficult or time-consuming for me—like gathering literary issues and rumors and reporting them back to…

- The Father Brown series has a pretty unique structure among mystery novels. While most mystery novels are like brain games and puzzles made up of ‘tricks’ and ‘twists,’ the Father Brown series dives into the psychology of criminals with a ‘profiling’ format. This comes from the quirky setup of the main character, Father Brown. “Mr. Homer, have you ever been involved with the clergy?” “No.” “Oh, right. Sorry for the odd question. I really connected with the priest’s feelings in this…

- Lady Es seemed like she was planning to stick around for a bit longer because she broached a new topic. “Oh, and I enjoyed reading the novels written by the students you taught, Author! It looks like you have a talent for teaching as well as writing? You’re just so perfect, it’s making me jealous!” “It’s not because I taught them well. The students learned on their own.” And yeah, this was true. I wasn’t a real author, and I definitely lacked any real teaching abilities. All I did was…

- If moving a person’s heart is a miracle, Then literature is the most powerful miracle of all. “…Oh, come to think of it, it’s about time for ‘that’ episode of Sherlock Holmes to start serializing.” “If you mean that episode… ah.” Sion let out a sigh, as if he had an inkling. “The Empire is going to get noisy.” “Half and Half’s president is going to have a tough time….” Literature has the power to move people’s hearts. And ‘Sherlock Holmes’ was one of the most powerful…

- Lionel Balzac. He stood in front of the entrance of a publishing house called “Half and Half.” He had an appointment to meet the great writer Herodotus there. Herodotus was Lionel’s benefactor. He had forgiven him, cheered him on, and supported him. The world might say that Homer is the literary savior bestowed by the Lord, but— Lionel knew there were two saviors in this world. Herodotus, the creator of Holmes and Lupin, was the second savior of literature. And he was also Lionel’s first…

- “What on earth is this novel?” “It’s a romance novel. It goes through various conflicts and misunderstandings, but in the end, they overcome it all and find happiness. I got a heads-up from the author ‘Herodotus’ and decided to give it a shot.” Lionel, shivering ever so slightly, tentatively accepted the manuscript. He then sat down and quietly began reading the manuscript. “……” Lionel’s reading speed was not particularly swift. Compared to the people I’d interacted with so…

- “Even if the editor said that, it was something you should never have done as a writer! It’s all my fault! I sincerely apologize!” The writer named Lionel Balzac trembled as he bowed deeply, his whole body shaking. It seemed he hadn’t done this out of some sort of confidence. Rather, he was clearly so desperate that he didn’t even have time to think about the consequences. “First, raise your head. It’s hard to talk when you’re bowing like that.” “Yes!” He was nothing like the image I…
