I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

"Aqiu~!"

Aki Tomoya sneezed, and it was quite loud, drawing the attention of everyone in the pathology classroom.

Today is a day off at university, but because there was something going on in the pathology classroom, Tomoya Aki still sacrificed his precious rest time to come and help.

"Aki-kun, do you have a cold?"

Okajima, who was sitting opposite him, looked up and glanced at him.

The latter shook his head, glanced apologetically at everyone, and indicated that he was alright.

"Who exactly is talking about me behind my back?!"

Aki Tomoya said unhappily.

I don't know who was talking about me behind my back, causing me to sneeze so loudly.

This sneeze also disturbed other people.

"By the way, Associate Professor Okajima, Professor Yano needed case studies of malignant histiocytoma and lymphoma, as well as other research papers. I found quite a few from Germany, and some of them were translated last night."

Send the files in the notebook, which are all in English, to Okajima.

"Did you do this all night? Wasn't that too tiring?"

Okajima looked at Aki Tomoya with some surprise.

The task was given three days ago, and the boy in front of me seemed to have completed it overnight.

His hard work is admirable, but he shouldn't push himself too hard, since he still has academic studies to attend to.

"It only took me a little time in the evening. The case studies and papers I found in Germany were the same ones I had found from the beginning."

Aki Tomoya offered an explanation.

It was just about finding a few case studies and research papers.

The most time-consuming part wasn't this, but the screening.

The most embarrassing thing is finding something that others don't like.

"You've worked hard... The division will be officially completed next year, you'll be very busy then, so take a break."

"clear."

Whether it was hard work or not is another matter. He had gradually given up his part-time jobs and had more free time. He just spent the extra time on things in the pathology classroom.

"If there's an opportunity starting next year, I'd like to do some other things with Professor Yano. I'll talk to him about it."

Other things?

The information conveyed in Okajima's words is rather subtle.

I don't know what he was referring to by the other things he mentioned. Professor Yano is doing an extraordinary amount of work these days; he's a really busy person.

"Don't overthink it. It's not a difficult thing. Others can do it too. You're not the only one. It's just that we'll be short a few suitable people at the time."

Okajima added.

"...But speaking of which, your focus is on clinical practice, right? If you were to pursue academic theory and research, and perform well under Professor Yano, you might become his right-hand man?"

He whispered to Aki Tomoya.

The latter couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious.

It sounded tempting, but Aki Tomoya wasn't interested; staying in the lab wasn't his goal.

"Thank you, Associate Professor Okajima."

Professor Yano's right-hand man?

It's not that you can't believe a beautifully presented picture; it's just a matter of whoever wants to believe it.

Aki Tomo was not swayed by Okajima's words.

After finishing his work in the pathology classroom and returning home, Aki Tomoya tidied up and chatted with Kudo Sayaka during his break.

The two were not in the same university, and he was a medical student, so they didn't have much time to date. However, if the conditions were right, Aki Tomoya would try his best to meet them.

"I asked Kato for help, and after some issues were corrected, I can hand it over to the publisher's editor. It should be ready for publication soon."

She started talking about what happened with Kato Megumi that afternoon.

Thanks to Megumi Kato's help, her new work is almost finished.

Thinking back, my second work has finally been completed, and I feel a great sense of accomplishment between the lines.

"Congratulations."

Her new work is almost finished, which makes Aki Tomoya happy as well, as if he feels the same way.

However, a sentence from Sayaka Kudo afterwards left him somewhat bewildered.

"Rinya, what do you think about my next work being a suspense story with a detective as the main character? You can provide me with cases; I feel like it could be a huge hit!"

For some reason, Aki Tomoya felt that the other person was hinting at something to him.

"Whether it sells well or not isn't up to me..."

He's not a professional editor, so his judgment on the market is questionable.

"But there are precedents. The work for which Tomoya served as a consultant sold quite well, I asked the editor!"

Depend on!

Aki Tomoya's eyes widened, and he realized that's why he had been sneezing in the afternoon!

But how did they know?

"Sayaka-san, what are you planning to do?"

Aki Tomoya asked curiously, "Would the other party come to question me about this?"

He wasn't flustered, because Sayaka Kudo didn't seem angry...

"The thought that my boyfriend was used by someone else, and used so well, makes me have to reflect on myself!"

"I am speechless..."

Chapter 378 You're guaranteed to have insomnia tonight!

It works really well. After learning about that from Megumi Kato, Sayaka Kudo even went to check it out herself.

It turned out that sales were indeed quite good.

That's exactly it! My boyfriend is just too useful!

Upon realizing this, Sayaka Kudo decided that she absolutely could not waste it and could not let others use it!

She wasn't angry, because there really wasn't anything to be angry about in this matter.

It would be quite meaningful to collaborate with Tomoya Aki on a novel.

At the same time, Sayaka Kudo's words really left Tomoya Aki speechless.

Her comment that she was very useful made Aki Tomoya really want to complain.

He really wanted to say that he wasn't an object, so what did it mean to be useful?

But for now, let's just say whatever Sayaka Kudo wants.

Anyway, it sounds like a compliment...

After taking this as a compliment, Aki Tomoya felt even more inclined to complain.

"Sayaka-san, what do you think of what she wrote?"

"As expected of a professional, they are completely different from someone like me who has just debuted and only has two works!"

Sayaka Kudo sighed in this way.

There are still gaps, and we must face that squarely.

They've been writing for so long, their skills are undeniable, their experience is incomparable, and they have a great grasp of writing style and rhythm, as well as a keen eye for the market.

"Even someone as professional as you has a tough time when you first start transitioning to a new field. Good luck!"

When Kasumigaoka Utaha was preparing to change her career path, her work, which she was full of confidence for the transition, was ruthlessly rejected by the publisher.

In the light novel industry, she is at least a popular author with a guaranteed following.

As a result, the popular fiction community extended its sincerest greetings to her from the very beginning.

The formula of light novels doesn't work in the popular fiction market. At least light novels can survive on illustrations, but there's no such rule here.

The market is only so big; if you want to gain a foothold, you have to let your strength speak for itself.

"You got your first work approved without any major setbacks. I'm not saying you're better than others, but it's hard to succeed in anything without putting in the effort."

so--

"Write something you're good at. Mystery and suspense novels sell well, but please be realistic about your abilities!"

This is exactly what Aki Tomoya wanted to say.
