After that, I started working on Eirasu volume 11’s afterword, while Yuma began cooking dinner.
It’s 17:00.
Being told that the dinner is ready, I stopped writing.
“Yota, you are always staring at your computer, huh.”

The model for my penname “Yota Jin” is, needless to say, the taiyoushin.[i]
Turn “taiyoushin” around, and you get Yota Jin.
In the internet, this nickname of mine has been gathering respect and awe… but more often than not, it is used to make fun of me, with people calling me “Sun God-sensei”.
Since my real name is Yota Jinnai, I tried coming up with a nickname that can make the best use out of my real name, and I stumbled upon this in the end.

“Thanks for your hard work; this is Kenzaki from Phoenix Bunko. Thank you for the plot of your new work, Jin-sensei. I have finished reading it.”
“Kenzaki-san, thanks for your work. You’re so quick at it, as always. So, how was it?”
“I’ll be going straight to the point—it’s rejected. All of it. I think it’s better for you to create a new one from scratch instead of trying to fix it here and there.”
“…That’s really straight to the point.”

Ryuuou no Oshigoto! (The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done!) Volume 3: Talent, Effort, and Admiration
While the first two volumes of popular light novel series Ryuuou no Oshigoto! (The Ryuo’s Work is Never Done!) was mostly an introduction to Yaichi’s two disciples, the third volume went on to establish the development for one of the characters that is mainly overlooked before. Being a volume that heavily brings up the theme of talent and hard work, it still remains one of my favorite parts of the series.
Anyway, you can join the Discord server here to talk about the series. And as usual, spoiler warning.
