Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 139: Meeting Takeda Akane on the way back 2
To return to Yamanashi from Tokyo, you need to take a train from Central Station and then transfer to Fujikyu Railway.

The air in my hometown is very fresh. This was Longchuan Tetsu's first thought after getting off Otsuki Station.

Having been in Tokyo for some time, Ryukawa Toru did not have much impression of the bustling metropolis except for the busy office workers he saw every day.

Everyone seems to be very busy. Even Mrs. Takeda, who used to be lazy, is busy with the upcoming release of "Pinball in 1973".

Don't give readers too much information all at once, that's what Managing Director Takeda said, so there will be a gap between the planning of the two sequels.

"The weather is really nice."

It's already quite famous.

Longchuan Che was wearing the brown sunglasses prepared by his girlfriend and a brown deerskin jacket. He was standing on the platform waiting for the train like a trendy young man who had just returned home from working in a big city.

He is tall and has long legs, and dresses fashionably. Some girls came up to him and chatted with him along the way.

"Is that Mr. Snake?"

While waiting for the express train to Gotomi Lake, a girl who had just taken the JR Chuo Line with Ryukawa Toru came up to him.

The girl had looked at him several times in the car, and only came over when he said "What a nice weather".

Those who can call out the pen name should be readers, or more likely fans.

Longchuan Che lowered his sunglasses on his nose a little and looked at the girl with flaxen hair.

"Yes, hello."

The girl was about the same age as Ryukawa Tetsu, wearing white foot-binding stockings and had a cute face.

"Ah, it's really you."

The girl was holding the newly released volume of "Snow Country" and her tone was a little excited.

"Snow Country" has been released in the past two days. The first print run is 100,000 copies. Unlike publications like magazines, the price of a single volume is not low. Those who can support it in the first place should be loyal fans.

"Snow Country" is great, but why did Ye Zi die?"

The girl waved a white-covered book in front of her.

The scene where readers asked him in person why he "killed" the characters he wrote was really embarrassing, and Ryukawa Toru pushed his glasses back down his nose.

In March, the ice and snow have completely melted.

When we returned to Yamanashi, the sky was very blue, just like the blue water in a swimming pool, and the white clouds floating over from Mount Fuji looked like expanding bubbles in a bath. The combination of the two made people feel like a painting by 'Dick Bruna', which made people feel simple and eye-catching.

Ryukawa Tetsu wrote a signature for the first reader he met.

Natsume Fuyumi, a very nice name.

"Are you a student at the University of Tokyo?"

It was amazing that the two of them walked together and parked next to each other.

On the express train to Wufu Lake, Longchuan Che chatted casually.

The girl was wearing a plush coat and a gray pleated skirt. When she stood up to put her luggage away, a campus card with a ginkgo leaf badge was revealed.

"Thank you."

It's good to have a boy around. Natsume Fuyumi is not tall, so Ryukawa Toru put her luggage on top.

There are a lot of things to do. Are you traveling to Yamanashi alone?
Longchuan Che was curious.

"I am from the literature club, just like you."

In Japan, the status of literati is very high. Although they are of the same age, Natsume and Fuyumi have no problem using honorifics.

"But I studied dance before. Can you guess what subject I am in?"

The Faculty of Literature at the University of Tokyo offers many majors. Ryuukawa Tetsu took a look at the other person's tender body, considering that he had previously studied dance.

"Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Letters?"

Department of Arts, one of the few art majors at the University of Tokyo.

The main subjects studied are aesthetics, which is a branch of philosophy, and art, which focuses on art theory and the analysis of various works of art.

"Amazing!"

The girl covered her face with her hands, her eyes sparkling. Sorry, it's nothing special, it's easy to guess based on the information.

Long Chuan Che didn't complain at all and walked towards Wufu Lake with the girl.

"Are you still following me?"

The closer he got to his home, the stranger Longchuan Che's expression became.

Isn’t it a bit strange that he was in a good mood when meeting female fans at the beginning, but now he is in this mood?

Starting from Tokyo, the two took a train to Yamanashi Otsuki Station, and then took the Fujikyu Railway to Lake Kawaguchi.

This is the end point for most tourists, but the girl is now standing with him on the Yamanakako bus which only runs every two or three hours.

There are fewer and fewer people in Yamanaka Lake, and she can't remember who has a cute girl.

"Isn't he a fanatic like a sasaeng fan?"

Ryukawa Toru's eyes became subtle, and Natsume Fuyumi also panicked.

She came to Yamanashi to play at the invitation of her classmates who were taking the exam together at the University of Tokyo. Why is she behaving like a nympho now?

Follow, strike up a conversation, and go home with the other person.

Natsume Fuyumi felt like the top of her head was humming and smoking like a kettle.

"No, no, I'm here to find..."

"Fuyumi?"

As the girl hurriedly explained, a familiar voice made Longchuan Che raise his eyebrows.

In a taxi in front of the platform, the girl rolled down the window.

The innocent face looked slightly charming in the spring breeze at the end of March. Looking at the two people standing together, she raised her eyebrows at Longchuan Che.

"You pervert, what do you want to do to my classmate?"

It turns out that Natsume Fuyumi is a classmate of Takeda Akane. Sitting in the taxi, Ryukawa Toru has a strange look on his face.

"What are you running back for?"

When these people lived in Yamanaka Lake, they all clamored to leave, and when they really left, they secretly ran back when Longchuan Che was not around.

Ryukawa Toru wondered if he had left things that were not allowed to be seen by others lying around, such as eye masks and scarves, which were used by Mrs. Takeda.

"Well, I came back to get some things and will leave in two days."

Strangely, Takeda Akane didn't say anything mean to me like she did before.

She smiled very gently at Longchuan Che, like a hydrangea that only blooms in summer.

'Have you changed your personality? Or do you feel that you can't afford to offend me anymore?'

The girl smiled like an ordinary girl next door, and Longchuan Che was a little surprised.

Generally, the other party will show this expression when he realizes that he is going to suffer a loss or show weakness.

Like a cat with its belly exposed, it looks soft and shows obedience and non-aggression.

This is how she called him "brother" when Longchuan Tetsu was kind enough to help her remove the loose threads last time.

"Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Longchuan Che glanced at the classmates around her, wondering if she was doing this deliberately to maintain her image as a good girl.

Apart from being disrespectful to Ryukawa Toru, Takeda Akane is always an obedient and sensible person in front of teachers, classmates, relatives and friends.

When the girl heard Longchuan Che's question, she didn't answer, but still smiled sweetly at him.

"Tsk."

When she smiles, she looks just like his own obedient sister. Longchuan Che feels goosebumps all over his body.

A breeze blew, and when Ryukawa Toru righted himself, Takeda Akane's smile became subtle.

That was the expression a hunter would have when he saw his prey slowly falling into his trap.
