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

Sagiri got too excited and spoke too loudly, causing the loudspeaker to suddenly blast out an extremely loud volume. The room was already soundproof, so the sound was locked inside.

"Waaah..."

Sagiri covered her ears, as if she were the victim, even though she was the one who made the noise.

"That, your novel..."

It took Sagiri a while to recover from the sonic boom, and she blushed as she asked Dongfang Bai.

Even an idiot could guess what Sagiri was trying to say, Dongfang Bai immediately took out his phone and showed his Line account.

"You should have an account too, right? Let's add each other as friends first, and I'll send you the novel's document later."

"Um……"

In a short while, the two became friends. The first thing Dongfang Bai noticed was that Sagiri's Line username was 'Eromanga'.

After exchanging a few casual words, Dongfang Bai left. Their casual conversation had unexpectedly led to almost noon, and they still hadn't bought any groceries…

Chapter Thirty-Two: I Am Truly a Heinous Sinner [Seeking Flowers and Reviews]

It was a bright and sunny day. The sun was high in the sky, scorching the earth. It was freezing cold in the morning, but the temperature changed so much by noon.

Today is supposed to be the weekend, and I was looking forward to a good rest, but I was disturbed early this morning by a mischievous girl who somehow found out my home address.

Sui Village?

Just as Dongfang Bai was about to climb the Hero's Slope, he suddenly stopped. Come to think of it, he hadn't really looked at all the buildings around his home.

It seems like this area is full of residential buildings, but there aren't many shops. There's only one shop here called 'Sui-mura,' which is an old-fashioned Japanese sweets shop and confectionery shop.

Wagashi, apparently a specialty of Japan, is said to be like soft glutinous rice balls and very delicious.

"Let's buy some, maybe Sagiri will like it."

Dongfang Bai walked in after thinking about it. The style inside was very much in line with the local style of Japan, elegant yet simple. The floors were all made of wood, and there was only a middle-aged woman standing at the front desk.

"Welcome! What would you like, sir?"

The auntie was very welcoming. It seemed that this wagashi shop was privately owned, and the glass display cases inside were filled with all kinds of wagashi.

It looks like a translucent jade-like yokan, but also like a green grass cake. The colors are different, divided into four colors, just like the four seasons.

"Ah, this is my first time visiting a snack shop in Japan, I don't know what to buy."

Dongfang Bai smiled shyly. He had never bought this kind of Japanese specialty food before, so he didn't know how to choose.

"Oh? Aren't you Japanese, sir?"

The cashier seemed a little surprised. She looked Dongfang Bai up and down, especially his face, her eyes seemingly shining.

"Yes, I'm from China, I just came to Japan to study..."

"A Chinese person? You speak Japanese so well! Hey, do you live upstairs...?"

The aunt praised him generously, becoming more and more satisfied with Dongfang Bai, and then began to ask him all sorts of questions.

They even started chatting about everyday things...

"Bai, Bai is such a nice name. Are you a high school student now? What a coincidence, my daughter just started high school too, the same age as you."

"Oh, what a coincidence! Which high school is she in?"

"Oh dear, it's just an all-girls high school, Otonokizaka. It's a shame it seems to be doing a bit badly lately. It's nothing like Toyonosaki, which you went to, Shira-san."

……

"What? You were admitted through special admission? Then why didn't you go to Zongwu High School?"

"Ah, that place is too strict. A more relaxed place is more suitable for me."

For the first time, Dongfang Bai experienced firsthand what it meant to be a chatterbox like the Japanese auntie. Once she started talking, she could go on for hours. It was already 1 p.m., and who knew how Sagiri was doing.

He tried several times to decline and leave, but the aunt was so enthusiastic that she always managed to find a way to continue chatting with him...

"My daughter, that child may be a little clumsy, but she's definitely beautiful! Would you like me to introduce you to her?"

The aunt became more and more satisfied with Dongfang Bai, and even wanted to directly promote her daughter to him.

After all, in the eyes of these Japanese aunties, being able to attend a prestigious private school like Toyosaki is already quite good. They were surprised to learn that Dongfang Bai was actually a special student who could have entered Soubu High School.

She was even more satisfied, and now she wished she could just drag him into her home...

"Auntie! I really have something to do! I have to go back now!"

There was no other way but to force my way out of this auntie's control. I'll have to think twice before coming to this shop next time...

"Okay, okay, don't rush, Auntie will give you some wagashi (Japanese sweets) to eat."

Although this auntie from 'Sui Village' is indeed a chatterbox, she is a very nice person. She doesn't want her own money at all and insists that I accept the sweets.

"Okay, okay! I'll come back to buy again next time, goodbye Auntie!"

Dongfang Bai fled in a panic. It seemed that Sagiri hadn't eaten much for breakfast, and once she started chatting with this aunt, she completely forgot about Sagiri...

Done!

When he arrived home, the house was quiet. Dongfang Bai even wondered if Shawu had fainted from hunger upstairs, so he quickly prepared lunch and sent it up.

"Waaah..."

I had just knocked on the door when Sagiri burst open it in a moment later. In an extremely aggrieved voice, she immediately took the plate of rice and started eating it right in front of me.

This time, they didn't even wait for me to leave before opening the door...it seems they were really starving.

Wait a minute! I remember leaving some food in the living room, right? Why didn't she go get it?!

"Sagiri, I'm sorry I'm late..."

"Hmph... Can you understand the despair I felt, brother, when I stomped my feet on the floor but no one brought me food?!"

Even though that's what she said, Sagiri kept stuffing rice into her mouth while saying it with a wronged expression, looking so cute it was almost suffocating.

And the images were already flashing through her mind... Sagiri stomped her feet on the floor with a mournful face, but there was no response. In the end, she could only collapse on the bed, starving...

Leaving my sister like this at home is a terrible sin!

"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!"

Dongfang Bai obediently admitted his mistake, and only then did Shawu calm down a bit, mumbling something incoherently.

Even Dongfang Bai, who was at level 10 in the Wuyu school, could only barely make out that it sounded like 'It's good that you know you were wrong.'

Chapter Thirty-Three: Top-Notch Imagination Skills [Seeking Flowers and Reviews]

"I left some rice balls in the living room... at least come out and eat some."

"I'll lose if I step out of the room."

"Who's competing against you!?"

Dongfang Bai covered his face. Ever since he entered this somewhat strange younger sister's room, his ability to make sarcastic remarks had skyrocketed.

……

"Editor Kagurazaka, are you alright...?"

Her colleague looked at Kagurazaka Ayame, who was lying motionless on the table, with a worried expression.

"It's alright, it's alright..."

Kagurazaka Ayame lay slumped over the table, her eyes still dark-circled. She had waited until 1 a.m. last night for news, but the author still hadn't given her any reply.

Why? How can there be such a person? They sent a manuscript without even leaving any contact information...!

"Hey? Is she alright? Is she feeling down because her sales have been bad lately?"

"Really? Although there haven't been any outstanding newcomers lately, overall it's been pretty good..."

"Don't say anything more. Right now, we're relying on Senju Muramasa-sensei's sales. If there aren't any outstanding newcomers, we'll soon be overtaken by the other two!"

"Wow, the industry is really tough."

The two whispers did not escape Kagurazaka Ayame's ears, but she was not in the mood to talk to them much right now.

Could this teacher have already signed contracts with two other companies? If that's the case, they're definitely doomed. If the plot doesn't fall apart later on, this kind of story could definitely become a hit.

This is the result of years of experience as an editor and a keen eye!

Ding dong.

"Editor Kagurazaka, your phone is ringing. Your takeout must have arrived!"

"I'm not in the mood to eat right now..."

Kagurazaka Ayame picked up her phone with great displeasure. A quick glance revealed a message from the author's backend.

Author's backend...?

"Could it be!!!!?"

Kagurazaka Ayame immediately perked up. She had been in a dejected state, but suddenly stood up, supporting herself on the table with both hands, which startled her colleagues next to her.

"So easily startled... such a big change in her mental state, could it be that she's been without a boyfriend for so long and is being pressured to get married?"

"Ok?"

Kagurazaka Ayame turned around and glared at the person, scaring the editor who was complaining into not daring to say a word.

Normally, I would definitely have a good 'discussion' with him, but right now the most important thing is the news about the author's backend!

If it's that author named 'Yakumo Shiro', then I'll have to do everything in my power to keep him here!

"It really is!!! Yoshi!!"

Kagurazaka Ayame's fingers trembled slightly as she opened the message sent by Yakumo Haku, which contained only one message.
