Is the Lord among you? #WeeklyShortShortNote
Six months into my career as a working professional, I felt a sense of emptiness. Having been part of a literature club in my student days, a desire for literature still smoldered within me. After much deliberation, I registered on a literary submission site, and as I read through recommended works, I became drawn to the works of one particular contributor. Their creator name was "Otonosama" (The Lord). The works were BL novels featuring samurai. I became captivated by the secret affairs between lords and pages, the forbidden love between warlords, and the erotic dialogue and beauty of the character designs. One day, I worked up the courage to leave a comment on a work. I received a reply immediately, but it was just one word: "Katajikenai" (I am humbled)...
Before I knew it, I had begun to equate the characters in the stories with the author. I wanted to meet "The Lord." Learning that "The Lord" would be setting up a booth at the Literary Flea Market, I rushed to the venue. There were several men and women at the booth I was looking for. "Is the Lord among you?"
...The person who raised their hand was... wait, a woman? "The Lord" was a composed-looking middle-aged woman...
I am still continuing the creative writing I started that day. My creator name is "Wakasama" (The Young Lord).
(410 characters)
I am participating in the project by Tarahakani-sama.
By the way, while there are creators on note named "Otonosama" and "Wakasama," they have absolutely no relation to this work.
