Dongfang Bai glanced at the light novel title written above, "Sister City," and thought, "This really does have Kousaka Kirino's style..."
"Hmph~ Hey, Evil Eye Radio Wave Girl, you write novels online too, right? I've written a little bit too, want to take a look? Well~ most people would think it's a masterpiece~"
At this moment, Ruri Gokou suddenly placed her right leg on her left thigh, looking as if she had been 'infused with a soul'. Her expression, actions, tone of voice, and even her temperament instantly transformed into that of Kirino Kousaka.
It's so similar...it's practically the same person.
"Then, after I read it, I said her writing was boring, and then she said..."
The black cat, who had just changed back to its expressionless state from its 'Kirino state', immediately changed again.
"You definitely wouldn't understand. By the way, aren't you on good terms with that Dongfang guy? If he saw it, he'd definitely say it's a masterpiece too!"
The black cat's ability to switch freely between its two states made Dongfang Bai clap. The speed at which its expression and tone changed was faster than turning the pages of a book; it was simply outrageous.
He thought the black cat had the talent to be an actor.
"That's how it is, so I brought it over for her."
The black cat took a small sip of its red tea, its wine-red eyes fixed on the stack of manuscripts.
"Then why didn't she bring it herself?"
After Dongfang Bai asked the question, the black cat suddenly fell silent, looking at Dongfang Bai with a strange smile. At that moment, the two seemed to be in sync, nodding to each other.
I understood it instantly.
"I was originally planning to show it to that blonde tsundere girl, but she was taken away."
Ruri Gokou couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Yamada Elf being dragged away by four female editors in black uniforms. She had been pleading for help before being taken away, but no one could help her.
Rather, Ruri Gokou watched her being taken away with a smile on her face.
"Speaking of which, Black Cat, you actually agreed to help her make this trip."
Dongfang Bai flipped through the light novel titled "Sister City". To be honest, although the plot was a bit old-fashioned and the writing was just average, the setting was quite novel and it had the selling point of "sister".
"Because of that book, I submitted it online and it caught the eye of an editor at Dengeki Bunko."
The black cat spoke calmly, and Dongfang Bai, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost spat it out. Dengeki Bunko, isn't Dengeki Bunko the same library he works at?
"I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled."
The black cat lowered her head deeply. She had worked hard for two years, writing novels diligently, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get them published. On the contrary, that guy succeeded on his first attempt at writing a light novel.
She was extremely unwilling, and this feeling of unwillingness was definitely not ordinary; her shoulders were even trembling slightly.
Dongfang Bai smiled helplessly, raised an eyebrow, slowly stood up and patted the black cat's head. Her hair was very soft and smooth, and you could even smell a hint of shampoo when you got close.
"babble……!?"
Whether it was Dongfang Bai's imagination or not, he felt the black cat, which had its head down, suddenly tremble and then make a sound that was difficult to understand.
He had seen Black Cat's efforts and had also written novels before his transmigration, so he naturally knew what it felt like to be unwilling to accept defeat. Therefore, he understood Black Cat quite well.
"Focus on your current topic, and you'll definitely be just as good as her!"
Dongfang Bai confidently boasted to Black Cat that Black Cat's original light novel, "Tears of a Fallen Angel," featuring a fallen angel as the protagonist, was also excellent and would definitely not be bad.
[PS: Ruri Gokou is my wife.]

"Yes, it is."
However, Gokou Ruri didn't listen to anything at all. Instead, she looked shy and didn't see Dongfang Bai's flushed face because she kept her head down.
The light novel she initially wrote had a very grand setting, with various forces and races such as vampires, demons, angels, and fallen angels. If she had handled these settings well, it might have become a masterpiece.
"So, are you still feeling down?"
Dongfang Bai looked at the black cat, who still seemed to be looking down. Could it be that the black cat was still in a state of great resentment?
"Phew...no."
The black cat raised her head. Actually, she hadn't been depressed since the moment Dongfang Bai touched her head. She had just kept her head down to try to hide her shyness.
"Come to think of it, she really does like her younger sister."
Dongfang Bai raised an eyebrow and said, "Kousaka Kirino is definitely the best of the best among siscon. Even the protagonist of this light novel is based on herself."
"Yes, I can't understand it. She was envious of me when she heard I had a younger sister, but I don't think it's anything special."
The black cat also felt a bit confused. People who actually have younger sisters might not feel that their sisters are so great, but Dongfang Bai is an exception...
"So Black Cat has a sister too? I'm getting a little interested. You always used to say you had to go back early to cook for your sisters."
Dongfang Bai had never met the black cat's sisters, but he was still quite interested and very curious about what these 'chuunibyou' black cat's sisters would be like...
"If you're interested, Mr. Yakumo, you can come to my house for a visit."
Black Cat regretted her words immediately afterward. Although her expression remained calm, her cheeks were slightly flushed. Wasn't she inviting him to her home?!
"Okay."
Dongfang Bai agreed without hesitation, saying he would go and see if he had the chance.
"Huh?"
Black Cat seemed surprised that Dongfang Bai agreed so readily, so she was stunned. Then she glanced at the manuscript of the novel that Dongfang Bai was flipping through and stared at him.
"What does Yakumo-sensei think of this light novel?"
"Well, it's alright. I personally think it's quite interesting, although there are quite a few problems."
Dongfang Bai praised it, but he noticed a problem with the setting when he first read it. For example, the protagonist is female, but she can lift heavy stones. Is she supposed to be a superhero?
"By the way, your light novel has already reached 120,000 words, right? I think it's pretty good. Why don't you try submitting it to Dengeki Bunko?"
Dongfang Bai's sudden suggestion made the black cat freeze. Dongfang Bai actually wanted him to submit that book to Dengeki Bunko? Could he really do it?
With the existence of "Fantasy Demon Blade" and "Fate", Dengeki Bunko has basically secured its position as the leading publisher among the three giants of light novels, making it a very powerful publisher.
Her book was rejected even by Shinazugawa of Kobunko before, but this time she actually wants to submit it to Dengeki Bunko?
"Can I really do it?"
Black Cat seemed a little insecure, frowning slightly. Too many failures in the past had eroded her basic confidence, making her feel that her work could not be successfully submitted.
"Of course, no problem. Trust yourself. Do you want me to introduce you to my editor? She may be a little carefree, but she's a really nice person."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yakumo..."
Dongfang Bai spoke with a smile. Upon hearing this, the black cat stood up gratefully, bowed to Dongfang Bai, and sincerely expressed its thanks.
Black Cat naturally knew how good the other party was to him. The other party never minded teaching him when he asked for advice time and time again. This time, the other party even specially introduced him to submit his work. It was thanks to him that he was able to improve.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Dongfang Bai waved his hand, and seeing his expression, the black cat couldn't help but blush, then awkwardly scratched at her skirt.
"Well, I'll head back now. I still need to cook for my two younger sisters! Goodbye, Yakumo-sensei!"
"Okay, then you should head back quickly and be careful on the road."
As soon as Dongfang Bai finished speaking, the black cat flew away at lightning speed. She kept her head slightly lowered and hurried away, her face as red as a sunset.
"Wow, you're walking so fast..."
Dongfang Bai watched as Wugeng Liuli's figure disappeared from his sight, and couldn't help but sigh. He slowly dialed a number on his phone, and it was answered shortly afterward.
"What's wrong? Why are you calling me today because you're having trouble understanding something?"
Kagurazaka Ayame's slightly flirtatious voice came through, because Dongfang Bai rarely called her; usually, she was the one who initiated the call.
"Sister Changpu, I have a new writer here who writes quite well. What do you think about submitting their work to you?"
"Newcomer, is this someone you know?"
Upon hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Kagurazaka Ayame seemed to have a strange premonition, a woman's intuition.
"That's right, you could call him my friend."
Ruri Gokou's manuscript is still at Dongfang Bai's house; she should still have the original manuscript there.
Upon hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Kagurazaka Ayame tentatively asked, "Could it be that the other person is a girl?"
"...How did you know?"
Dongfang Bai was taken aback. Why would Kagurazaka Ayame guess that Kuroneko was a girl? She shouldn't know Kuroneko at all.
Kagurazaka Ayame on the other end of the phone twitched her lips, her face full of black lines, unsure how to respond. "Dongfang Bai, think about what you've done before. Your 'friends' are all girls, okay?"
Moreover, Kagurazaka Ayame guessed that the other party most likely still had feelings for Dongfang Bai...
"Alright, alright, send me that child's Line number, I'll talk to her alone. If the book is well-written, I'll treat you to dinner next time~"
"Don't worry, I vouch for it."
Hearing Dongfang Bai's guarantee, Kagurazaka Ayame was relieved, but the thought that the other party was a girl gave her a headache. How many love rivals does Kana Yuta-sensei have to deal with?
"Good luck, Nayuta-sensei."
Kagurazaka Ayame looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, when Nayuta Kani, who was writing a light novel in a hotel, suddenly sneezed.
"Eh? Could it be that Yakumo-senpai misses me?!"
Chapter 32, Volume 5, is now available! [Please subscribe automatically!]
On a quiet day online, Touhou Haku's "Fate" Volume 5 and "Touhou Project" Volume 1 were released simultaneously, but the announcement came very late, and no one knew about it until that day.
At this moment, in the 2,000-member Line fan group of the 'Yakumo Support Club', everyone was idly complaining. The plot holes left after Volume 4 were too big. According to this development, Saber's true identity would be exposed, and there would also be a new mysterious Heroic Spirit.
[Ugh, I can't take it anymore! Wasn't Yakumo-sensei always the fastest at updating? How come volume 5 hasn't been released yet? I feel like I'm going to die...]
[You've been spoiled by Yakumo-sensei, haven't you? You know, most light novel authors release one volume a month, and I've heard that Yakumo-sensei is still writing a new work, so it's natural for her to be a little slower.]
[Have you all forgotten that Yakumo-sensei seems quite young? Rumor has it she's only in high school, so her studies must be very demanding!]
The fans in the fan group were chatting idly when a message suddenly caught their attention.
