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

Sagiri squinted her eyes. Could it be said that every girl has a special ability to see through other people's thoughts?

Do you also have intuition A?

"~ Ahem, as expected of Eromanga-sensei, the drawing is superb!"

Dongfang Bai quickly changed the subject, and Sagiri was naturally very happy to hear the praise, especially from her brother. Her eyes narrowed with a smile, because the results of her hard work only have value when they are recognized by others.

"I... I don't know anyone with that name."

After a brief pause, Sagiri blushed and turned her head away, seemingly trying to distance herself from 'Eromanga' teacher.

"But...brother, how did you know..."

"Do you know that you are Eromanga-sensei?"

Dongfang Bai picked up on what Sagiri wanted to say. He guessed that Sagiri wanted to ask this question, since she shouldn't have given herself away in front of him.

"Hmm...and I don't know anyone with that name!"

Sagiri nodded, then immediately denied being Eromanga-sensei, which was practically like saying "I'm protesting too much"...

"Actually, your mother revealed this to my mother when they were chatting before."

Dongfang Bai is lying through his teeth. In fact, Sagiri's mother and his own mother have always been good friends. They met when Dongfang Bai's mother came to Japan.

After all, she was still young as the wife of the Higashikata family at the time, and of course she liked to travel around. She made many friends in Japan, including Sagiri's mother.

"Is that so...?"

Sagiri nodded with some skepticism, but we decided to believe her for the time being, since the artist 'Eromanga's' personal information had always been kept confidential.

Ever since Sagiri's mother, the "First Eromanga," no one has ever seen Eromanga-sensei's true face. Even during online live streams, she wears a strange mask and uses a voice changer to manipulate her voice.

Chapter 74 A Question: Are You My Master? [Please Subscribe Automatically]

After talking with Sagiri for a while, Sagiri confidently told herself that she could finish the last drawing by tomorrow at the latest, which would be to complete the first volume with the death of the first Servant.

The first volume doesn't have much plot. Even if the plot is very tight, it can only go up to where Rider is defeated. If Dongfang Bai had been a little more bloated, the plot could have been stretched out even longer.

"Ugh, the manuscript is due tomorrow."

Dongfang Bai turned his neck slightly, trying to relax his hands. He had already told his online friends in the game that he couldn't come because of something, but they would play properly after he finished this manuscript.

He opened the document and got right to work. After typing at a very consistent speed at first, he gradually got into the zone, and his eyes lost their sparkle. Even if someone were standing next to him at this point, he might not have noticed.

He was in the zone, and at this moment, his mind was full of how to use the best and most suitable writing style to narrate the entire Fate story. The further he went, the faster his fingers moved, and a series of soft 'tap tap tap' sounds came from the room.

However, it was very rhythmic and crisp, as if musicians in the forest were playing a grand piece of music, with the speed becoming more and more even and fast, maintaining this speed without slowing down at all.

Although his fingers were already aching and his wrists were feeling uncomfortable, he became increasingly excited and couldn't stop writing. One paragraph after another appeared from under his fingers.

But he didn't know that his phone was vibrating slightly, with unread messages appearing on the screen one after another.

[Eri Kashiwagi: Welcome to the new teacher!]

[Kasumi Shiko: Oh? Who did the 18R artist invite this time? Is it someone like you?]

[Qianshou Village Zheng: Welcome. 】

[Shido Kunimitsu: Welcome, new teacher! But I've never seen this pen name before? Is he a newcomer? And Senju Muramasa-sensei suddenly appeared!]

[Fuwa Haruto: Oh! I have a junior now!? Right, Kunimitsu-kun!]

[Kunimitsu Shido: Oh dear, I'm a little embarrassed.]

The phone screen kept flashing, but Dongfang Bai was so engrossed in writing that he didn't notice the endless stream of messages in their Line group.

[Eri Kashiwagi: Hmph, he's way better than that teacher who writes romance novels that make you want to take a dump. He easily won first place in the Dengeki Newcomer Award, and the first volume will be released the day after tomorrow.]

[Fuwa Haruto: Ah, I know him, the rookie who came from behind to win the Dengeki Rookie Award! He seems really amazing!]

[Kasumi Shiko: Oh? But I've heard that the Dengeki Newcomer Award hasn't produced any good books in recent years. Is that really true, Ms. Kashiwagi Eri?]

[Kunimitsu Shido: You two... here we go again.]

Back home, Shido Kunimitsu gave a wry smile. One of them was a well-known illustrator in the ACG world, and the other was a light novelist who had recently made a comeback. He had heard that the two of them didn't get along in real life.

So online, they became even more unrestrained, and the two would start mocking each other whenever they had the chance, although it always ended with Kashiwagi Eri's defeat.

"That golden retriever is so arrogant and talks so big, I'd like to see what he's gotta do with it."

A beautiful young woman with long black hair sat at her computer desk. It was late at night, and she had dark circles under her eyes, clearly a result of not getting enough rest.

Kasumi Shiko, whose real name is Kasumigaoka Shiho, is a light novel author. It might be hard to believe, but she works part-time writing novels while attending school.

She was only about 17 years old, a second-year student at Toyonosaki High School. Although she seemed to be living a glamorous life, it was clear to anyone with eyes that she was constantly on the verge of a violent death.

Moreover, she often lacks inspiration every day, which makes it impossible for her to start writing even when sitting in front of the computer for two hours at a time. This also leads to sleep deprivation every day.

"Tsk."

Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked her tongue. About two years ago, because of her exceptionally good grades—she could easily take first place in the entire grade even though she never paid attention in class—she suddenly had the urge to write a novel.

I thought writing light novels wasn't particularly difficult, but only those who have written them know how painful it is to lack inspiration. Kasumigaoka Utaha's early work was a slow and difficult process.

However, her final work, "Love Metronome," won the Newcomer Award, which gave her a long-lost sense of excitement and satisfaction, even more so than winning first place in the academic year.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The confidence he had built up was almost canceled when his work was serialized into its third volume because of low popularity and poor sales.

Fortunately, she received promotion from a Twitter blogger and also had a breakthrough in her own inspiration; otherwise, she would definitely have been forced to cancel the project. However, she recently experienced another writer's block, which is making her quite frustrated.

I'm about to start writing the fifth volume of "Love Metronome," which is the final volume, but I still don't have any ideas. If this continues, the fifth volume will be a complete flop.

Ding dong.

Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't know what's wrong with her today, but she suddenly became interested in this new writer who writes under the pen name 'Yakumo Shiro'. She has already earned tens of thousands of recommendation votes in the new writer reward program.

Indeed, as Kashiwagi Eri said, this guy is far, far stronger than I was when I first debuted. And the first volume is going to be released the day after tomorrow. I really want to see how well it sells. It's worth Kashiwagi Eri praising him so highly.

Although the Newcomer Award has ended, the current version of tens of thousands of words is still available. Kasumigaoka Utaha clicked into the book "Fate" with curiosity and was taken into a grand world.

By the time I came to my senses, I could no longer turn the page; the entire story was frozen at the moment Saber was summoned.

【So, are you my Master?】

It was as if the scene had already been automatically imagined in my mind: moonlight scattering into the dark warehouse, an injured boy sitting slumped on the left, and a girl in armor on the right.

A dashing female knight, holding an unseen longsword, her emerald green eyes fixed on a blonde girl.

Chapter Seventy-Five: Xia Shizi [Please Subscribe Automatically]

She wasn't particularly interested in fantasy light novels, but this one really captivated her. For the first time, she was so eager to read the rest of the story.

I bet it's incredibly frustrating to be caught off guard when you're on the climax and the story abruptly cuts off. It's like having cat claws scratching at your heart, but you feel utterly helpless.

Out of sheer curiosity, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally clicked the 'friend request' button. She wanted to chat with the author about how he came up with such a novel plot and setting.

Since becoming a light novelist, Kasumigaoka Utaha has made a point of reading many, many different types of light novels, including works by great authors such as Senju Muramasa's "Fantasy Demon Blade Legend"...

However, there are very few light novels that can truly interest her and make her eager to follow the plot. She is very picky about books, and this time she is reading from the reader's perspective.

She sat quietly at her computer desk, waiting. The Line account named 'Yakumo Shiro' was always showing as online, so he must still be awake. Adding him now should be visible to him.

But after waiting for a very long time, there was still no response, as if a stone had been thrown into the sea and disappeared without a trace.

……

"cough……"

Dongfang Bai felt a very obvious swelling and pain in his eyes from the inside out, as if his eyeballs were being squeezed from the inside. His scalp was also a little painful, especially around his temples, where it felt like he was being pricked with needles.

He glanced at the clock and realized that about two hours had passed. Only then did he feel parched, so he quickly poured himself a glass of warm water and gulped it down.

Even when you stand up from the chair, you can hear the crisp sound of your muscles and bones being stretched – a cracking sound.

"It's finally finished. I'll send it to Sister Ayame right away."

Dongfang Bai rubbed his eyes. He was so sleepy that he might fall asleep in a short while, but he didn't want to fall asleep in his clothes on in a chair.

Otherwise, I'll definitely wake up with a stiff neck tomorrow morning, and my whole body will be incredibly sore.

"Okay, send."

The document, containing over 100,000 words, was sent by Dongfang Bai to Kagurazaka Ayame's email address. Just in case, he also made a copy and saved it on his computer. It seems that there won't be any problems with printing tomorrow.

"Once the sales figures for the week are released, I'll receive my first payment for the article."

Dongfang Bai is now looking forward to seeing how many copies he will sell. Although he may not be able to match the sales of top-tier authors like Senju Muramasa, whose books have sold a total of 14 million copies, he should still be able to sell a few million copies.

He believed in Fate's influence and in the fact that in the formulaic world of ACG, Fate, this bombshell, would cause a huge upheaval.

"Hmm? There's news..."

Eriri had added her to a chat group for light novel authors and various illustrators. Although there weren't many people, they all seemed quite friendly. Unfortunately, she had been focused on writing and hadn't noticed at all.

There was another friend request in the corner, sent by an ID named 'Xia Shizi'.

"Xia Shizi...?"

Dongfang Bai's slightly dizzy mind suddenly realized that Kasumigaoka Utaha, the Kasumigaoka character from the anime "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend," must be the same person. No wonder the ID looked so familiar.

He couldn't quite understand why this sharp-tongued senior would request to add him as a friend, but he quickly accepted the request. After seeing that she didn't respond, he simply took off his clothes and collapsed on the bed to wait for a message.

Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka Utaha was extremely anxious. She was naturally a little impatient, and the lack of a reply made her quite dissatisfied, causing her right leg to start shaking habitually.

Ding.

The message was suddenly answered. The friend request was only accepted now. That guy was clearly online the whole time, so why did it take so long to accept the friend request? What was he doing?

Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a surge of intense displeasure. She had a strong urge to verbally attack him, but she suppressed it and decided to continue asking him about the plot of Fate.

But when I put my fingers on the keyboard, I didn't know what to say for a long time. While I was waiting for him, all I could think about was 'add him as a friend quickly'.
