I Wish I Had Never Written This Novel
Proofreader:
Summary:
The frail Tsumugi and her devoted best friend Shiori have been together since elementary school, but their relationship is a distorted form of codependency. One day, Tsumugi calls Shiori to her hospital bed and requests her to write a novel about a fake romance with their classmate Yoh. Shiori is unable to refuse, but Tsumugi evasively avoids revealing her true intentions. She leads Shori to the sea at night and tells her about her regrets and her dying wish. Tsumugi wants to live forever even in death, but Shiori responds that eternity like that is unnecessary and that there are things that remain unchanged even when everything changes. As an adult, Shiori once again visits the night sea with her completed novel. Dawn breaks as she releases the cleared and stained specimen Tsumugi once bought into the ocean.

The Starboard Cannon of the Flying Egg
Proofreader:
Summary:
In the near future, prosperity has reached its peak thanks to the artificial fertility god Yggdrasil. Humanity has the ability to freely control plants and even "grow" buildings. At the height of this civilization, the Great Collapse occurred. Over half of the world's population perished, and systems across the world were paralyzed. Furthermore, the sudden appearance of grotesque creatures known as tree beasts and tree dragons quickly drove humanity from the surface, forcing them to relocate their base to artificial floating islands and ocean cities.
Several decades have passed since the Great Collapse. Yabusame, piloting a small helicopter called the Silent Queen, hunts tree dragons for a living. He travels across Japan with his mentor and partner, Mozu, to treat his sister's rare illness. Meanwhile, the two rescue Sekirei, the vice-commander of Tokyo's First Air Wing, from a difficult situation, and their skills are recognized when they are asked to accompany him on a large-scale search mission in the old city of Shinjuku. Needing them, Sekirei whispers to Yabusame,
"The success of this mission may lead to a cure for your sister's illness."
However, Shinjuku is an S-class dangerous area, rumored to be "impossible to return from." Mozu is reluctant, saying it's not worth it, but this is the story of those who soar through the skies with steel wings and determination, hunting tree dragons.
