My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

"Ugh……"

Dongfang Bai rubbed his shoulders slightly, looking like an eighty-year-old man. No matter how much he didn't want to go, since Kagurazaka Ayame had been urging him for a month, he had to go and show his face.

Click, Dongfang Bai opened the door. The sunlight outside was dazzling, as if it would blind his corneas. Maybe he should find a time to sneak away. Suddenly, he slowly looked ahead.

At that moment, he suddenly felt...

No, how can I not go? I already promised! I absolutely have to attend the annual meeting! How can I stand them up?!

As a model citizen of the Celestial Empire, honesty is a virtue. How can one do anything without honesty? Besides, laziness is the root of all evil, and he felt it was time to get rid of his lazy habits.

"Alright, shall we get in the car?"

Kagurazaka Ayame, dressed in her office attire—a black miniskirt and long stockings—leaned against the car, looking at Dongfang Bai with a 'kind' smile.

"They're here, they're here."

There was nothing I could do. Kagurazaka Ayame had already driven to my door to pick me up, which showed how much she valued it. Besides, when did she get a car? How come I didn't know?

"Hey, I thought you'd just throw on any clothes and come out, but you're dressed quite formally, and you look pretty handsome, hahaha!"

Kagurazaka Ayame let out a hearty laugh, while Dongfang Bai sat in the back seat and awkwardly laughed. If Yamada Elf hadn't forced him to change into this suit, he really would have planned to come in casual clothes.

"Well, I've finally managed to win you over."

"Don't make it sound like you're making a dangerous statement, and why do I have to go?"

Just how much did this guy want to bring me along? He actually drove over to pick me up himself! An editor personally coming to pick up an author to attend a writers' annual meeting—that's quite a show of respect.

Dongfang Bai didn't even know how to complain about Kagurazaka Ayame. Why was she so insistent on going to the writers' annual meeting? It's just an annual meeting, the kind of place where writers exchange ideas and brag to each other.

"Well, you'll find out when you get there. By the way, what's your decision regarding that game planner from before?"

Game planner...? Ah, come to think of it, there really was such a thing.

"We'll see, I'm busy right now."

Dongfang Bai's vague answer made Kagurazaka Ayame pause. She also guessed that Dongfang Bai didn't have much time to do any planning. He wrote three volumes of manuscripts in a month and a half, which was quite impressive.

At this writing speed, there's really no time to deal with game design anymore. If Dongfang Bai really doesn't agree, then no one will take on the design project for the time being.

"But the girl from Shinazugawa who was sent to handle the script will be coming this time too, right? You might want to become the planner if you talk to her."

Why would an author sent by Shinazugawa come to the Dengeki Bunko Writers' Annual Meeting? That's so strange.

"Oh, right, let me tell you in advance, there will be a beautiful young female writer at this year's annual meeting. If she comes over and talks to you, don't try to fool her."

Dongfang Bai had heard the term "pretty girl writer" countless times, but he had absolutely no interest in it. This time, he planned to just eat something and play on his phone alone in a corner of the annual meeting.

"arrive!"

Kagurazaka Ayame opened the car door, and Dongfang Bai followed her out. The two arrived at the entrance of a hotel. It seemed that the venue was upstairs, but they would have to follow Kagurazaka Ayame to find out exactly where it was.

Dongfang Bai and Kagurazaka Ayame came up from the elevator. There were many people inside, but they didn't see many writers of their own age. Even the younger ones were in their twenties.

"Then you go talk to the author by yourself, I'm off!"

Kagurazaka Ayame winked at Dongfang Bai, then dashed away in a flash. Who knows what she was even doing there…

They brought Dongfang Bai to this place, but then he just ran away. That's really irresponsible.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Yakumo?"

Just as Dongfang Bai was about to go to a corner to eat by himself, he was suddenly stopped by a man who looked to be around twenty years old.

"I am Shido Kunimitsu. I've wanted to meet Master Yakumo for a long time. I never expected him to be so young..."

Shido Kunimitsu? Ah, this guy is someone I know. I've chatted with him in the author's Line group, and he seems to be easy to get along with.

"I am Yakumo Shiro, nice to meet you."

Dongfang Bai greeted him politely, but he'd heard that this guy seemed to write mostly romance novels for young girls...

"Oh my, we actually got to meet! I'll go get Mr. Fuwa!"

Fuwa? Does Fuwa refer to Haruto Fuwa? He was introduced to her by Eriri as a writer friend. He writes isekai adventure novels, is rather reserved, and is also incredibly talkative in group chats.

Shido Kunimitsu seemed very happy to be able to meet the popular and talented new writer Yakumo Shiro. He called out to the person behind him.

"Hey! Fuwa! Yakumo-sensei is here!"

At Shido Kunimitsu's shout, Fuwa Haruto quickly walked over from the other side. He was a man with glasses and short brown hair.

"Wow, it really is...! Hello, Yakumo-sensei, I'm Fuwa Haruto! Nice to meet you!"

Haruto Fuwa looked at Hiroto Yakumo with the expression of someone looking at a rare animal, because the pen name Yakumo Yakumo was so famous that almost every author from Dengeki Bunko had heard of it.

That writing maniac who wrote and released three volumes in just over a month, averaging one volume every one or two weeks, was at a speed that could be described as 'spaceship' level. Some readers even privately called him 'Yakumo Typewriter'.

"Yakumo-sensei writes so fast, most people can't keep up at all... It's gotten to the point that readers are complaining that I can't even write half as fast as you..."

"That's right……"

Haruto Fuwa's comment resonated with Kunimitsu Shido, who agreed that Shiro Yakumo's typing speed was simply inhuman, especially considering he was younger than them yet had already sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

Haruto Fuwa covered his face with a dejected expression. He seemed to have thought of something, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Hey, Mr. Yakumo, look over there..."

Dongfang Bai followed Fuwa Haruto's gaze with a puzzled look. It was a short-haired girl, a beautiful short-haired girl with regular features and dignified and elegant manners.

Her large, phoenix-shaped eyes made her seem to have a very strong personality, and she was also very slender, but unexpectedly she came wearing a kimono.

“That’s Ms. Senju Muramasa. You’ve probably spoken to her in the group chat, right? I never expected her to be so young.”

Senju Muramasa, ah, that's the Dengeki Bunko brand, the super popular author whose single light novels have sold a total of 14 million copies.

But she looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, about the same age as me.

"Indeed young..."

Dongfang Bai nodded in agreement. How come a writers' annual meeting turned into a meetup for netizens? He (Li Nuo) suddenly met several authors he had spoken to online.

"Alright, alright, make way."

"Huh!? Kagurazaka editor?"

Shido Kunimitsu and Fuwa Haruto consciously moved aside. Kagurazaka Ayame had somehow returned; hadn't she just disappeared? Why was she suddenly back now?

"Ok?"

Looking at the smile on Kagurazaka Ayame's face, Dongfang Bai had a bad feeling...

Looking in her direction, there seemed to be another girl standing behind her, who appeared to be only about 1.5 meters tall, and quite petite and cute.

However, what is even more eye-catching is the girl's long silver-white hair. Even though it is mostly hidden by Kagurazaka Ayame's body, Dongfang Bai can still feel that she is a very cute girl.

"Well, let me introduce you first. This is Mr. Yakumo Shiro."

Chapter 3 Kana Nayuta [Please subscribe automatically]

Silver-white—that's the first impression of Oriental White.

She has long, beautiful silver-white hair with a slightly long, her signature Hime cut bangs. Two strands of hair fall down her shoulders, and if she lowers her head, they can even cover her eyes.

Her skin was unusually fair and translucent, like a veil of white mist, the kind of skin that hadn't been out for a long time.

She was wearing a dress and long, knee-length black stockings. Her shy expression was quite adorable. She had large eyes, and her long eyelashes seemed to tremble with nervousness. Her light blue pupils kept moving, and she pursed her lips, not daring to speak.

She was a very shy girl. She didn't dare to look him in the eye directly. As soon as he looked into her eyes, she would immediately look away.

Moreover, he seemed a little nervous and something was wrong.

Generally speaking, there are three main possibilities for people who are afraid to look others in the eye.

First, he felt guilty because he felt he had done something to offend Dongfang Bai.

Secondly, this child is simply shy, similar to Sagiri, who is typically timid and afraid to talk to strangers.

Thirdly, the girl in front of him might have feelings for Dongfang Bai, but was too shy to say it. Dongfang Bai immediately ruled out this possibility.

What a joke! Dongfang Bai wasn't so arrogant as to think that his charm could easily attract a girl he had just met. He was certain that he had never met this girl before.

Therefore, Dongfang Bai thought that the girl was simply shy.

"Hya...Yakumo-sensei, hello..."

The girl with long silver hair stammered as she bowed solemnly to Dongfang Bai. She seemed extremely nervous, and Dongfang Bai even wondered if she might faint at any moment.

"Hello, I am Yakumo Shiro. Nice to meet you."

Dongfang Bai smiled and extended his right hand to shake hands with the girl, but then he suddenly paused, wondering if he had been too abrupt in reaching out to her.

"Eh...!? Then..."

The silver-haired girl's face instantly turned bright red, like a red-hot kettle, with steam rising from her head. She felt her pupils dilating, and for a moment, her consciousness began to waver.

Oh no, her consciousness is drifting away...!

Kagurazaka Ayame, who was standing nearby, seemed to have noticed this and nudged the girl slightly. The girl realized what was happening and immediately reached out to shake hands with Dongfang Bai.

"Ahem, this child is Ms. Nayuta Kani, who recently won the Dengeki Bunko Newcomer Award in its 29th issue."

"How could that be...?!"

Haruto Fuwa, standing to the side, exclaimed in surprise, "She's the newcomer award winner! This girl looks so frail, she's amazing!"

"Wow, that's impressive."

Dongfang Bai nodded in agreement. He was the champion of the 28th Newcomer Award, while this girl was from the 29th, the one after him. He himself didn't debut much earlier than her.

She looks to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and it's amazing that she's already won the newcomer award at such a young age. She's truly remarkable.

Calling her a genius young girl novelist is not an exaggeration at all.
