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

"No, no, no...where...this part..."

When Kanayuta heard Dongfang Bai praise her, the ahoge on her head seemed to twitch with happiness, but she still spoke very modestly.

"I don't know if you've read Keiji's light novels, Yakumo. They're really great, no less than your FSN."

Kagurazaka Ayame blinked. If even she gave such a high evaluation, then the works of the silver-haired beauty in front of her, Kana Nayuta, must be very impressive.

"It's Yakumo-sensei who truly deserves the title of Fate... No, it's a masterpiece! Saber is like an unattainable star in the sky, and I adore her proud and fearless personality! I will never forget the scene where Saber is summoned!"

"That line under the moonlight, 'I ask you, are you my Master?' was so powerful. I felt goosebumps all over my body at the time. I watched that scene at least ten times, especially the recently released third volume. I bought five copies to show my support!"

Dongfang Bai stared dumbfounded at the silver-haired girl in front of him. Just a moment ago, she was stammering and couldn't get a coherent sentence out, but when she talked about Fate, she was a completely different person.

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ········

Moreover, the way she looked at him felt a bit strange, not like an ordinary gaze, but rather peculiar, which caught Dongfang Bai off guard.

"I'm glad you like it..."

Dongfang Bai could only scratch his head shyly. He hadn't thought much of being praised online before, but this was the first time he'd been praised in real life, especially by a beautiful girl, at such a lengthy level...

This feeling was truly wonderful, making Dongfang Bai realize that what he had done was not meaningless.

"I'm...sorry, I went too far."

Kanayuta's face turned red. She seemed to realize that she was too excited, so she restrained her emotions and took a deep breath.

..... ......... 0

Although she was extremely shy when she first met Dongfang Bai, she had gotten much better after so much time had passed, while the others next to her were completely stunned.

Especially Kagurazaka Ayame, who was standing to the side, just stared blankly with her mouth slightly open, unable to utter a single word.

Who am I? Where am I? Who is this girl?

In her memory, Nayuta Kana had always been a quiet, reserved, and aloof girl. She was already quite satisfied to have just seen her shy demeanor.

At the time, Kagurazaka Ayame felt that she had made the right decision to drag Hikaru Touhou to the writers' annual meeting, as she had at least seen a different side of this girl.

However... things are not that simple. Her series of amazing remarks just now really shocked Kagurazaka Ayame.

This girl? Is this girl really the aloof and taciturn girl, Kana Yuta, that she knows? If she hadn't brought Kana Yuta with her all the way, she would have even suspected that she had been switched with someone else along the way.

"Thank you so much for the compliment, Ms. Ke'er. I've heard about your 'White Season' before. It must have sold over 100,000 copies in a week, right? That's really impressive for someone your age!"

Dongfang Bai found the name Nayuta Ke'er increasingly familiar. When he visited Chie Takasago's bookstore before, she had mentioned "White Season" and said it was a masterpiece, urging him to read it.

Chapter Four: Mutual Flattery [Please Subscribe Automatically]

"No, no, no... It's nowhere near as good as Mr. Yakumo Haku's..."

Ke'er Nayuta was very shy, but she seemed to be getting closer and closer to Dongfang Bai. Originally, the two were an arm's length apart, but now they were almost two fists apart.

"Ahem, Teacher Ke'er."

"...?"

Kanayuta seemed to realize that she was too close, so she slowly took two steps back. However, her breathing seemed a bit rapid, making people worry that she might be sick.

This is just mutual flattery between businesses.

Kagurazaka Ayame and Fuwa Haruto, who were standing nearby, all had the same thought in their minds: Did these two suddenly become so close?

"From now on, I will call you Senpai! Yakumo Senpai!"

Kana Yudo's beautiful eyes widened, her long eyelashes trembling. She was somewhat agitated, and her breathing seemed to be getting faster and faster, even causing Dongfang Bai to subconsciously take two steps back.

This girl is way too enthusiastic...? I thought she was just shy before, but she's completely different from her appearance.

Once he starts talking, he instantly becomes a different person.

"Um, Mr. Yakumo, I have a favor to ask."

Kanayuta suddenly blushed and became somewhat awkward. Kagurazaka Ayame, who was standing next to her, suddenly had a bad feeling.

"What's the matter?"

Dongfang Bai smiled and replied. He quite liked the girl. Although she was a bit enthusiastic, she was straightforward, and he didn't dislike that kind of personality.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly have a bad feeling."

Kagurazaka Ayame's right eyelid twitched slightly. She suddenly began to wonder if it was the right thing to do to bring Kana Nayuta here, even though she could see a completely different side of the child.

But the difference is just too big! They're like two completely different people. Is this child really not someone with a split personality?!

If I had to describe it, it's like when you're eating savory tofu pudding and it suddenly turns into sweet tofu pudding!

"Um, Yakumo-senpai, do you have a girlfriend?"

Kanayuta suddenly became a little abnormal. Her eyes were wide open, her movements were very strange, and her face was flushed, making it difficult to explain.

"No way……"

Haruto Fuwa's lips twitched slightly. It couldn't be what he was thinking, could it...?

Girlfriend...?

Dongfang Bai was completely stunned. He didn't know what to say for a moment. Kona Yuta actually asked him if he had a girlfriend.

Could it be that this girl likes him?

No, no, no, it must be my imagination. It'll probably turn into a scene from an anime, where the girl's words turn into a misunderstanding, and I might even make a fool of myself.

Well, it's okay, it's okay. Kana Yuta is probably just asking a simple question. She might even let me sit on the bench and chat with me later.

Yes, yes, there shouldn't be any problem.

Dongfang Bai swallowed slightly, then took a deep breath, preparing to answer her.

"Ah, that..."

"If...! If not, I can... I can be my senior's girlfriend!"

"what?"

Before Dongfang Bai could finish speaking, Ke'er Nayuta seemed unable to contain herself and spoke first. Her gaze towards him was very intense, and her breathing became rapid.

This breathing rate reminds one of a certain Xia, a person who breathes everywhere all day long.

Dongfang Bai was stunned, Kagurazaka Ayame was stunned, and everyone present was stunned. At this moment, the world seemed to be quiet, the air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stand still.

"If there is one, would you mind having one more? I just need to stay by your side!"

Kanayuta seemed to think that Dongfang Bai was about to refuse because he hadn't answered for a long time. Although she was a little disappointed, she still spoke again.

Who the hell is this person?

All the words Dongfang Bai wanted to say got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak at all. In the end, he could only swallow them down. Kagurazaka Ayame realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately pressed down on Kana Yuta's shoulder.

"Hahaha, this child likes to joke. Teacher Yakumo, come over quickly, we still have books to discuss. You two talk first, hahaha... hahaha..."

"I'm not kidding... wait...?"

The editor in Kagurazaka is forcing a smile!

Dongfang Bai stared blankly as the silver-haired beauty was forcibly dragged away by Kagurazaka Ayame, his face expressionless, only filled with bewilderment and confusion.

Although Kanayuta was still struggling, she seemed too weak to break free from Kagurazaka Ayame's powerful arm. As she was being dragged away, she could only reach out and try to touch Touhou Shiro as they left...

To be honest, he was completely stunned. He had never expected that this girl would actually confess her feelings to him!

This is the first time in his life, no... since before he transmigrated, that a girl has confessed her feelings to him, especially in this kind of situation. Kana Yuta can be said to have won his first confession.

"What a funny joke, haha..."

With a forced smile on his face, Fuwa Haruto spoke, and Dongfang Bai also forced a smile, saying that he was really touched by being confessed to by a beautiful girl.

Any boy would feel very happy and even moved if he were confessed to by a shy and cute girl with a rosy complexion. Just now, Dongfang Bai almost blurted out the word "okay" without thinking.

This time at the writers' annual meeting, he encountered quite a few strange and unusual things, and he experienced things and experiences that he had never experienced before.

A short while later, Kagurazaka Ayame sent a message.

[Sorry, I have something to take care of right now. You can try looking for Ms. Kasumi Shiko inside the venue. She's one of the scriptwriters in charge of planning this game; she should be easy to spot—she has long black hair and is very pretty!]

I have something to take care of. It's not about dealing with Ms. Kana Yuta's matter, is it...?

Dongfang Bai paused, a forced expression on his face. He was sitting in the far corner of the venue, drinking a beverage. There was a large group of writers he didn't know at all, and he wasn't the type to strike up a conversation with them.

[PS: 35 auto-subscriptions, 20 with insufficient balance, hahaha...]

Chapter 5 Neon Lights Are So Small [Please Subscribe Automatically]

Downstairs at the hotel stood a young woman in a long black dress. She had long, beautiful black hair, a voluptuous figure, and very delicate and well-proportioned features.

It's hard to imagine that she, who looks like a high school student, has such a great figure. Underneath her skirt are long legs in black stockings, making her look very elegant and quiet.

Her name is Kasumigaoka Utaha, and her pen name for writing light novels is Kasumigaoka Utako. The work she is currently writing is called "Love Metronome," but it is not doing well and even faced cancellation at one point.

When she was writing the second volume of "Love Metronome", she was already facing cancellation, and she had no inspiration to continue writing. She was in a state of anxiety every day.

This led to her books being described as "buying illustrations and getting toilet paper for free." Although she wanted to refute this, she had no reason to, because her sales figures were indeed unsatisfactory.

Later, just when she was about to give up, she met a Dengeki Bunko author named 'Yakumo Shiro' online. He had only been in the industry for two months, but his sales had already reached hundreds of thousands, several times that of her own.

This is the difference. She has been in the industry for almost a year, but her sales are not even half of his, or even a third. This makes her deeply doubt her talent and whether she is suitable to write light novels.

It was at this time that Yakumo Shiro gave her advice, which showed her a new direction for writing. After incorporating Yakumo Shiro's advice, she found that sales did indeed increase, much better than before, and she narrowly escaped the fate of being canceled.

"Is this the place...?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared ahead with her wine-red eyes as she took the elevator to a high floor of the hotel, arriving at the floor where the writers' exchange meeting was being held.
