The heroines want to talk

Her good friend Tongzi sent a message.

Kiriko: I was killed by the opponent's strategic magic. I just went to inquire about the information. The opponent has a unique skill called [One-Strike Annihilation]. Although the power will increase five times, releasing a skill will empty the MP.

Yuuki Asuna tapped on the keyboard.

Asuna: Then she should focus on intelligence, otherwise the tank profession can probably withstand it.

Kiriko: Probably. By the way, Asuna, are you still playing?

Asuna sighed and typed, "I'd better log off. I was pissed off by that slime just now."

Just being on guard against hidden arrows from a distance consumed a lot of her energy.

Not to mention there's a sticky slime.

Kiriko: I will help you get revenge next time! Maple-chan is not online today, otherwise the ending might be different.

kiriko: Okay, let’s stop chatting, good night!

Asuna: Good night!

Asuna Yuuki closed the game and lay down on the bed.

The scene just now is still appearing in my mind.

She felt like she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

Chapter 44 Autograph Session

Sunday, May 4.

The weather was nice and Xia Shi had just returned home from running.

I met Hikigaya Hachiman, my fanatical fan, again in the park and chatted with him for a while.

The topic was related to yesterday's commemorative live broadcast, and Xia Shi also wanted to hear what this guy who claimed to be a true fan thought.

Hikigaya-san responded like this: "Great! So great that I want to marry Meow right now!"

Xia Shi had nothing to say about this, after all, he was also very satisfied.

But boyfriend fans are really scary!

He didn't even dare to imagine what would happen after Black Cat Phosphorus' true identity was exposed.

After returning home and feeding Meonai cat food, Xia Shi turned on his cell phone.

He opened the chat window with Keima, and the other party's avatar was the pink-haired yandere girl next door whom he was currently pursuing.

Fruits of Summer: Keima I'm ready to leave. Do you remember which bookstore it is? Let's meet at the station later!

Keima Katsuragi: Animate in Akihabara, I'm already on my way.

Xia Shi also set off after taking a shower.

Ikebukuro and Akihabara are not far away, and it doesn't take much time to get there by train.

Tram entrance.

Xia Shi met Keima.

He waved and greeted, "Hey, Keima! Haven't seen you for a day, did you miss me?"

"No."

Keima was wearing a black shirt today, and his glasses were still the same as before. He looked up and replied, "I've been playing the game these past two days."

He continued tapping the game console in his hand, pushed up his glasses, and said confidently: "After two days of hard work, I have seen the ending."

Xia Shi patted his shoulder and said, "Sometimes you have to learn to please others, my dear friend!"

"If the person who spoke to me wasn't you, I wouldn't even bother to say a word. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Xia Shi said shyly: "Oh! My heart is moved! Keima, you are such a sinful man."

"Sorry, you're not a 2D girl, it's impossible for us!" Keima said firmly.

"That's such a shame."

After entering the station, the two prepared to buy tickets.

Bought the ticket.

Xia Shi asked, "I don't think I've asked you yet which author's book signing you're going to attend today."

"And I remember you rarely read light novels."

The other party prefers games rather than books.

"Fushimi-sensei, a light novel writer of chick-related stories."

Keima explained, "And the reason why I went to Mr. Fushimi's book signing event is because I played the game adapted from Mr. Fushimi's original work, and there was a character in it that I really liked."

They were waiting for the train on the platform.

Xia Shi was looking for a topic to talk about. "Who was the character you were talking about? I'm quite curious."

Keima opened his phone and found a picture of a beautiful 2D girl with long black hair.

Xia Shi read it out, "Aragaki Ayase?"

He guessed, "Is this the sister in that novel?"

Keima shook his head, "She's my sister's friend."

Is that what they call a loser?

Generally, in this kind of pseudo-harem works, the heroine will be marked by the author in the title early on. In novels that use the sister system as a selling point, the sister will definitely be the winner in the end, there is no doubt about that.

Xia Shi sighed and said, "I quite like the appearance of this character, but it's a pity that she won't be able to win the love of the male protagonist in the end, right?"

Keima pushed up his glasses and said, "My dear friend, you don't have to worry about that. To make money, these authors will do anything. Ayase's if storyline has already been implemented in the game, and other popular characters should also be adapted into comics."

Xia Shi: “…”

Too real!

the other side.

Inside the animate bookstore.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little nervous.

Machida Yuanzi, who was standing nearby, said, "Shi-chan, although this is your first time holding a book signing event, you don't have to be so nervous. Just treat those readers as potatoes, a group of talking potatoes."

Shiyu spun the pen in her hand. "Editor Machida, I know you want to relieve my stress, but isn't this metaphor a bit too much?"

"Really?"

Machida Sonoko explained: "This is the advice given to me by Mr. Fushimi next door. He said that as long as you treat your readers as potatoes, you don't have to worry about being chopped off."

She recalled, "Last time someone brought a fruit knife over. I heard it was a character fan. Fortunately, the security personnel responded in time, otherwise Mr. Fushimi would have been sent to the hospital."

Shi Yu was speechless for a long time before she replied, "That's really amazing!"

He was almost canceled last time, but he still dared to hold a book signing event this time.

Really brave.

But she was actually more curious about what the other party had written that could have made the readers so angry.

Shiyu asked in confusion, "I have actually read Fushimi-sensei's works, but I haven't finished them all."

"Which character's fan was this person?"

Editor Machida said solemnly: "Goko Ruri-chan's character fan is very scary. He said he would live and die with the black cat, and he would kill people with a knife."

She smiled again after she finished speaking, "So when Mr. Fushimi returned, he immediately found the teacher who was in charge of the comics with him and told him to draw the Black Cat if first."

Shiyu was stunned for a few seconds, then said, "Great!"

Fortunately, my book is not as popular as his, otherwise it would also be cancelled someday.

"Drip."

The message prompt came.

Shiyu quickly took out her cell phone and couldn't help but smile when she saw the sender.

Machida Yuanzi saw this and teased, "Shi-chan's boyfriend?"

Shiyu shook her head. "He's a very interesting junior, and he's also a very busy man. He ignores me every time I look for him."

Machida Yuanzi looked at the long line that had formed and asked curiously, "Is he coming today too?"

"She said she came with friends, but she's probably a fan of Mr. Fushimi." Kasumigaoka Utaha has a clear understanding of her novels.

The audience of her works is actually more inclined towards girls, and some people have commented that her writing style is very delicate.

Click on line to check the message from your junior.

Summer Fruit: Kasumigaoka-senpai, we are already here, so can you open a back door for me? (shy)

Shiyu typed with a blank expression.

Kasumi Shiko: Actually, I really want you to queue up. If my junior waits for several hours just to see me, I would be very touched and my favorability towards me would continue to increase.

Summer Fruit: What are you hinting at, Senior? What is your purpose? Who instructed you to do this?

Shiyu closed the line and stood up to pick someone up.

She walked out of a side door and came to the back of the line.

But at first glance, no one was seen.

Shiyu lowered her head and prepared to type another question.

"Drip."

Fruit of Summer: Senior, I have seen you. Although you are disguised, your long hair is still very conspicuous.

Shiyu looked up again.

A handsome boy wearing black-framed glasses was walking towards her.

It turns out she had her hair cut, no wonder I didn’t notice it at first glance.

Chapter 45 Plot Discussion

Shiyu took Xia Shi into the bookstore through the side door.

Curious, "Where's your friend? Don't you need me to bring him in?"

Xia Shi shook his head. "He is a fan of Mr. Fushimi and wants to experience the fun of queuing in person. For him, waiting without reward is meaningless."

"I am different. I only care about the result. I don't care what method I use in the process."

He took the opportunity to observe the books around him.

The vast majority are of the different world kind, and the illustrations on most covers are very nice. Xia Shi can only sigh that many works have been brought to heights that do not belong to them by the painters.

Shi Yu said, "That's a pity. He might have to wait in line for a long time, maybe two or three hours?"

She continued: "I have relatively few fans. If Xuedijun becomes my fan, he only needs to wait in line for an hour."

Xia Shi looked at the notice on the wall and read, "From eight to eleven? Kasumigaoka-senpai, you have to stay here for three hours?"

Shiyu smiled and said, "Feeling sorry for me?"

Xia Shi nodded, "Yes, I feel very bad, but I feel even worse for me because I will have to stay here for three hours with nothing to do."

He sighed.

"After seeing the situation of my senior, I have completely given up my dream of becoming a light novel writer."

Xia Shi had thought about making money by writing novels before. Just when he was thinking about how to write a toilet paper light novel, virtual anchors suddenly became popular.

After struggling for a long time, he came to a conclusion.

How can writing be as fun as cheating otakus out of their money?
