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

Is this teacher's current behavior a case of unexpected cuteness, or just naturally naive...?

[Eyes...eyes can convey emotions!]

Kirisu Miharu looked back and forth between Dongfang Bai and her sister's faces, never expecting that the two of them were so close that they could communicate with each other through their eyes!

It seems that pulling this handsome young man away from his sister won't be an easy task!

……

"Ah! It's so late. I still have things to finish at university. I'll be going now!"

As Kirisu Miharu spoke, she waved to Mafuyu-sensei and quickly ran away, leaving only Hikaru and Kirisu Mafuyu standing there.

"call."

Kirisu Mafuyu breathed a sigh of relief; no one expected this side of her, this strong woman, to be so unexpected…

"Thank you for your hard work."

Kirisu Mafuyu expressed her gratitude to Dongfang Bai, saying that the two hours today were more difficult than ever before, but they finally got through it.

It's already past three o'clock, and I need to rush to another maid café to talk to my editor about the contract.

It was just a weekend, but if it were my pre-time-travel self, I would probably sleep until noon, have breakfast and lunch together, and then leisurely spend the afternoon...

But I never expected that now that I've become the young master of a large family, I have to spend the whole day at work, and I'm even disturbed by Megumi Kamino early in the morning. It's really exhausting.

Dongfang Bai rubbed his temples to relieve some of his stress.

"No need to thank me, after all, I'm just doing my job."

Dongfang Bai smiled and waved his hand. Although he was exhausted today, it was better not to show it in front of Teacher Tongxu.

"Well, although it's not good for high school students to work, you really helped me a lot today. Here's the rent..."

With a slight frown, Teacher Tongxu took out a 10,000 yuan bill from his bag and handed it to Dongfang Bai. Although 10,000 yuan sounds like a lot, it was actually about 600 yuan in Chinese currency.

As soon as Kirisu-sensei's sister left, she immediately reverted to her serious and earnest demeanor. This familiar Kirisu-sensei, who knows how many lies she's told herself today...

But the effort was worthwhile. It's a pity that this order might only come around once in a long while, otherwise I'd want to take it every day...

"Well, Mr. Kirisu, I have other things to attend to, so I'll be going now!"

With that, Dongfang Bai left the area and headed straight for Akihabara. He had several tens of minutes to get there, which was plenty of time.

Hopefully, I can reach an agreement with the editor this time, so I can earn the money quickly and pay it back to Yukino. After all, jokes aside, I still have to pay it back.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Yamada Fairy [Seeking Flowers and Reviews]

"I'm telling you, Ms. Yamada Elf, I really have something very important to do!"

Kagurazaka Ayame covered her head and looked helpless as she spoke to Yamada Elf, who was sitting motionless next to her.

Even though she really didn't want this girl to come along, she still came. She couldn't just send her away, after all, she was the No.1 in the previous light novel sales popularity chart.

Although I believe she relied heavily on luck, the result is what it is, and there's nothing I can do about it, even if I complain to her editor.

"Hmph, how dare he ignore me, the great light novel author! Instead, he comes looking for this newcomer. I'd like to see what kind of guy he is."

Yamada Elf sat with her arms crossed next to Kagurazaka Ayame, a glass of orange juice in front of her...

It looks like an adult taking care of a child, since Yamada Elf's real age is actually a 14-year-old middle school girl.

She dropped out of school to write light novels, and her family, for reasons unknown, actually agreed to it. However, she did earn a lot of money from her light novels; many people might not earn as much as she did in their entire lives.

I heard that she bought a house with her accumulated royalties. I don't know if it's true. She moved out at only 14 years old. To be honest, that's quite impressive.

"Hey, how can you, as the editor, be so ungrateful! I'm the No. 1 seller of light novels! I! And you're ignoring me!"

"Yes, yes, then please leave quickly, Miss No. 1 on the light novel sales chart... My teacher is coming soon."

Kagurazaka Ayame could only make perfunctory remarks to Yamada Elf while waiting for Yakumo Haku-sensei to arrive. The two of them had actually been sitting there for a full half hour.

To show our sincerity, we decided to arrive early, but we never expected that the Yamada Elf teacher, who comes to bother us every now and then, would also inexplicably follow us!

"Please, don't say anything out of line! If this contract is lost, I'll definitely go to your archives and complain to your editor!"

Kagurazaka Ayame's gaze gradually lost its luster, and she looked at Yamada Elf with an extremely terrifying look, making Yamada Elf tremble with fear, but she still tried to remain calm.

"Who...who would be afraid?"

Yamada Elf said this, but there were already beads of sweat on her forehead, indicating that she was quite afraid of her editor.

"Ah, here it comes."

Kagurazaka Ayame slowly sat up straight. She had been looking at her phone out of boredom when she saw the message notification from Yakumo Haku-sensei, and she immediately perked up.

"Is she in the very last seat? And there's a very conspicuous blonde girl sitting next to her?"

Dongfang Bai walked into the maid café with some confusion and immediately saw the long-haired blonde girl at the back. She also saw him at the same time.

It's really eye-catching...

And why does this strangely familiar-looking girl look at me with such displeasure? I must not have done anything to upset her.

"Yakumo Shiro-sensei~ Over here, over here!"

A short-haired woman sitting next to the blonde girl raised her arm high, seemingly indicating her position, and Dongfang Bai quickly followed.

This is a short-haired, capable woman who looks to be in her early twenties and exudes the aura of a powerful career woman.

"Please have a seat, Mr. Yakumo."

Kagurazaka Ayame was taken aback when she saw Dongfang Bai, not expecting him to be so young, but she quickly recovered.

"Hello, Mr. Yakumo. I am Kagurazaka Ayame, the editor of Dengeki Bunko. It's nice to meet you."

Even upon seeing the young Dongfang Bai, Kagurazaka Ayame remained serious and respectful, showing no disdain for him because of his age.

This aspect pleased Dongfang Bai greatly. Drawing comics and writing light novels signifies that you are a writer, and writers hold a very high status in Japan, being admired by countless people.

Therefore, readers, including editors, generally address writers as "teacher" to show respect.

"Hello, editor Kagurazaka. I am Dongfang Bai, pen name Yakumo Bai. Nice to meet you."

After exchanging a few words, Kagurazaka Ayame realized that the other person seemed to have a very easy temperament to get along with, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that a stubborn, restless middle-aged man would come, but instead, it was such a young boy who looked like he was only in high school.

"But who is this?"

Dongfang Bai gestured to Yamada Fairy beside him, who had been silent until now, and immediately burst out, standing up and gently placing her right palm on her chest.

"My pen name is Yamada Fairy, the number one Yamada Fairy on the Oricon charts! The youngest and most amazing light novel savior author in history! That's me!"

Yamada Elf wore a proud smile, and glanced at Kagurazaka Ayame as well, as if to say, 'He's the one who told me to speak.'

Oh my God……

Dongfang Bai's mind was now blank, with only these three words remaining.

"Alright, alright, this is Yamada Elf, the author of 'The Dark Elf of Blazing Flames.' I couldn't stop her from coming along, so please ignore her and let's continue."

Kagurazaka Ayame waved her hand and took out a document from her bag. It was a manuscript sent by Dongfang Bai.

Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Girl Who Stepped Out of the 2D World [Seeking Flowers and Reviews]

"This is the original manuscript of Yakumo-sensei's novel. I printed it out for my own convenience."

Kagurazaka Ayame took out the manuscript and placed it in front of Dongfang Bai, still referring to herself as "Yakumo" teacher.

Unfortunately, editors and authors usually address each other by their pen names unless they have a very good relationship.

"Let me be frank, I think this book has tremendous potential! Please be sure to publish it on my online platform. Based on my years of experience, I believe it will definitely be a hit!"

Kagurazaka Ayame's words made Touhou Shiro feel a little awkward; she was being far too enthusiastic and he was struggling to keep up.

Little did anyone know, this original manuscript was intended for discussion, but Yamada Elf was so interested in it that she simply took it aside and started reading it.

"I see. I wonder what kind of terms Dengeki Bunko can offer?"

Dongfang Bai maintained a normal yet polite smile, a sight that surprised Kagurazaka Ayame on the other side.

Judging from his age, he's probably only around 18 years old. He probably doesn't have much experience writing novels, but it's still surprising that a newcomer could be so composed in front of his editor.

Moreover, this sentence has a deep meaning. In a sense, it may mean that 'other document libraries offer good conditions, but I wonder how about Motor Document Library'.

In reality, Dongfang Bai only submitted his work to Dengeki Bunko. He said this only because he wanted to gain more benefits. The more money he had, the more leisurely and carefree his life would be.

Kagurazaka Ayame has met many newcomers, and most of them are timid and hesitant when speaking to the editor, with a significant number even having communication difficulties...

"We'll arrange for this book to participate in the current newcomer award! It will get a lot of promotion in the early stages, and the first place winner of the newcomer award will directly get the rights to publish the book as a standalone volume. In my opinion, this book has a very good chance of winning first place."

The right to publish a standalone book is quite good. Standalone books are completely different from regular paperback books. They are more expensive and contain more content, which means the author receives a higher share of the revenue.

New authors typically only publish paperback editions of their books, and only consider releasing standalone volumes if the books achieve good results.

"But I heard that Kadokawa next door is doing a big recommendation for new books and new authors. If it works well, they will immediately arrange a recommendation spot."

"Dengeki Bunko could do this better! If this book does well in the newcomer award, we can immediately sign you to a newcomer A contract!"

He had also heard about this so-called A-level contract for new authors. It was extremely difficult for ordinary authors to get an A-level contract; it was hard to do without outstanding achievements.

The division of A-signatures is 70/30, which is much better than the 60/40 of other light novels. The fact that Dengeki Bunko offered A-signatures without hesitation shows their sincerity.

"That's good, but I'd like to ask for one more thing."

"We will try our best to accommodate your request. Please tell us."

Dongfang Bai smiled meaningfully, rested his chin on his left hand, and gently tapped the table with his index finger.

"All profits and copyrights from the Fate spin-off belong to me."

Rumor?

Kagurazaka Ayame was slightly taken aback. She couldn't quite understand what this mature young man meant. Logically speaking, the spin-off of a work should rely on the popularity of the work itself.
