"Alright." Dongfang Bai signed his name on a poster of Misaka Mikoto, smiling as he watched the fans leave with excited expressions. This time, the original artwork for "A Certain Scientific Railgun" was not by Sagiri.
Instead, it's the renowned Eri Kashiwagi!
Eriri had said before that she wanted to get the original illustration position, and she actually managed to get it from Dengeki Bunko. Originally, only one artist was appointed for each work to avoid any mismatch in art style.
However, A Certain Magical Index is outrageous. The art style of the spin-offs is completely different from that of the main series. If the art style of the main series is more cute, then the art style of the spin-offs is exquisite and has a slightly erotic feel.
For this strange reason, the spin-off became more popular than the main story, which annoyed Sagiri for quite some time.
"Hey, Mr. Yakumo, are you alright?"
"Ah...? You've already finished eating barbecue and come back." Dongfang Bai looked at Kagurazaka Ayame beside him with a tired expression. The rosy and satisfied look on her face definitely meant she had just finished eating barbecue.
Unlike him, who sat there signing documents for two hours before finally getting a break, it was already 1 p.m. and he hadn't even had lunch yet, while his editor had gone off to eat and drink to his heart's content.
"Mmm~ I'll pour you a glass of water."
"You think you can just fob me off with a cup of water?" Dongfang Bai retorted irritably, then grabbed the water that Kagurazaka Ayame had handed him and gulped it down. His throat was indeed very dry from talking to his readers all this time.
"I was just trying to make it up to you~ Don't worry, I found a really good restaurant, I'll take you there to eat later."
"No way...? You just ate barbecue, and you're going to have another meal?" Dongfang Bai stared wide-eyed at Kagurazaka Ayame with an incredulous look, as if she were looking at some rare monster.
"Hey, that look is way too much! I did just finish eating, but girls have two stomachs, you know that?!"
You have two stomachs? Most people have one for food and one for dessert, but your body seems to have nothing in it except your stomach.
"Haha, a girl indeed." Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes and muttered to himself. Of course, this did not escape the notice of Kagurazaka Ayame, whose ears were very sharp. Her smile immediately disappeared and the veins on her forehead began to bulge.
"Hey kid, did you say something unpleasant?"
"No, okay, let's go get something to eat." Dongfang Bai also felt a bit hungry. He didn't know if he could make it through the afternoon's book signing if he didn't eat something. Just thinking about facing a large number of readers made his head ache.
If it were just signing his name and saying a few words, that would be fine, but those readers insisted on making some strange requests, like asking him to use Gilgamesh's voice to insult them. Maintaining a dubbing voice all the time would put a lot of strain on his throat.

"You're quick on your feet, kid. Let's go. Yuta-sensei is waiting outside too." Kagurazaka Ayame's lips twitched as she suppressed her resentment and led the way out. Dongfang Bai yawned and followed.
As for the group of bodyguards in black behind them, they were stuck in place, unsure whether to turn left or right, and could only stand there and wait for them to return.
"Senior~"
The white-haired girl, who was sitting outside slowly sipping a glass of chilled orange juice, brightened up when she saw Dongfang Bai come out. She grinned and showed her white teeth in greeting.
"Is it already break time?"
. ...... .......
"Well, we finally made it through." Dongfang Bai stretched and relaxed his stiff body. He felt like his shoulders were about to break. Ke'er Nayuta's eyes lit up, as if she saw an opportunity.
"Would you like Nayu to give you a massage, senior? Nayu's technique is excellent, she'll definitely make you feel like you're in heaven."
"So can you use some normal words?" Having long been accustomed to Nayuta's innocent appearance, she uttered an explosive statement.
After exchanging a few more casual jokes, the group left the autograph session. Seeing a large crowd still queuing outside, Dongfang Bai's lips twitched, and he quickly slipped out.
Hopefully, no paparazzi are taking pictures. Dongfang Bai glanced at the white-haired girl clinging to his arm beside him; she seemed to be in a very good mood, humming a song softly.
"Wow, that girl over there is so cute~ She's like an idol~ Hey, is that her boyfriend next to her?"
"Damn it, that guy actually brought his beautiful girlfriend around to show off!"
He would have accepted it if a passerby had said it, but it was Kagurazaka Ayame who had been standing next to them. She smiled and walked past them as if nothing had happened.
Hey, is this really necessary? We all know each other, don't we?

"Haha~ Just kidding, just kidding, why are you looking at me like that?" Kagurazaka Ayame felt a little embarrassed by Dongfang Bai's strange look and tried to laugh it off.
"Putting all that aside for now, which shop are you talking about, Sister Changpu?"
They had already wandered around the streets several times, but still hadn't reached the destination Kagurazaka Ayame had mentioned. Whether it was psychological or not, Dongfang Bai vaguely sensed that someone was looking in his direction.
Even with a hat, sunglasses, and a mask on, perfectly disguised, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, look, we're here already." Kagurazaka Ayame pointed to a restaurant not far away, which turned out to be a very rare Chinese restaurant. How did she find such a place?
"This shop has only been open for a short time, but I've already eaten there a few times. The food is delicious!"
"What exactly do you do for a living every day?" Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. Why is it that whenever a restaurant with good food opens, she's the first to know about it and go eat there? Isn't she usually quite busy?
I heard that there wasn't a single restaurant on that commercial street that she hadn't eaten at. Because they were so outrageous, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but admire them every time. However, the restaurants she recommended were indeed quite delicious.
"Oh! Let's go to that one then!" Kana Yuta raised her right fist and said happily. So the two of them pulled Dongfang Bai directly into the Chinese restaurant they were visiting for the first time.
The moment I stepped inside...
"Welcome, Master."
Master? What the hell? Isn't this supposed to be a Chinese restaurant? Why does it also have a neon-style maid café vibe? Doesn't this feel weird when stitched together like this?
and……
"Ah, big brother?!"
"Megumi?" Dongfang Bai looked at Jinye Megumi in front of him and suddenly felt that fate was so wonderful. Wasn't this guy just a primary school student? Why was he able to work?
Jinno Megumi usually has long orange hair tied back, but today she is dressed more smartly, with her hair hanging down to her chest on both sides and a long ponytail tied back.
As the class representative of Sagiri's class, a kid who is about the same age as Sagiri is here working as a maid.
"Because this shop is owned by my relative, I occasionally come to help out and earn some pocket money on the side." Jinno Megumi said with a grin, and even stretched out his right hand to make a 'circle' shape. His money-grubbing eyes made it hard to believe that this guy was just a child.
"No way, Mr. Yakumo, you even know a kid like this?" Kagurazaka Ayame's expression froze, and she looked at Dongfang Bai as if she were looking at a pervert.
“She’s my sister Sagiri’s class representative. She’s visited our house before.” Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. He immediately saw what Kagurazaka Ayame was thinking and explained directly.
"I see, phew..."
The silver-haired girl patted her ample chest, looking relieved. She had almost thought that Dongfang Bai's sex drive was so strange.
Megumi Kanno looked at Nayuta Kana with a strange expression. Compared to her, the difference in their figures was too great. Although there was also a big age gap between them, it still made her feel very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Megumi Kanna thought of something, and a smirk appeared on her lips. Dongfang Bai could tell from this subtle change that she was up to no good. Sure enough, she pursed her lips and slowly asked, "Brother~ Is this older sister your girlfriend?"
“Yes!” Kanayuta nodded confidently, causing Kanno Keigo, who was about to speak, to suddenly choke on his words.
What the hell? How could she admit it so readily? Can't this woman be a little more tactful?! Where did her ladylike reserve go? She just blurted it out like that?
Jin Ye Hui was filled with surprise. Could it be that the girls around Dongfang Bai were all strange?
"A junior colleague."
"Oh, I see. So why is the older sister, who is the 'junior,' so clingy to the older brother? Are you two that close?"
“Yes.” Kanno Megumi didn’t expect Kana Yuta to act so unpredictably, which made her a little embarrassed. So she stepped forward and grabbed Dongfang Bai’s other hand and said.
"Big sister, you don't know this, do you? My brother and I are very close, we've even been completely honest with each other!"
"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense." Dongfang Bai's face stiffened. Damn it, don't talk nonsense in a public place like this. If someone reports him, he might really be taken away by the police.
"And I've already seen my brother's penis, so I know it completely!"
Now, in order to win against Nayuta, Megumi Kanno has started spouting nonsense. She even went so far as to use unusual words that would be impossible for someone her age to utter.
However, she underestimated the seemingly indifferent white-haired girl in front of her.
She is no ordinary person.
"Wait..." The moment Dongfang Bai saw Ke'er's lips curl up in a smile, he sensed something was wrong. As it turned out, his premonition was very accurate, but he was still a step too late to stop her.
"Well, my relationship with my senior is quite simple. It's just that I accidentally used too much force during XXX, which caused me to XXX. Then my senior got even more excited, so we XXXed all night long."
"...???" Dongfang Bai's face was filled with a look of ecstasy; at this point, there was nothing he could do to stop it.
Shocked!
Kagurazaka Ayame stared dumbfounded at Kana's explosive, expressionless words. It had been so long since she had heard her utter such words that she had almost forgotten what the other person's original personality was like.
Although Kanno Megumi is considered mature for her age, she is no match for Nayuta Kani, who is exceptional in certain aspects.
Xiao Hui's face turned bright red, as if it were about to explode. Finally, she shouted "Sorry!" loudly, covered her face with her hands, turned around and ran away, darting away like a rabbit.
"Alright, let's hurry inside, senpai." Kana's tuft of hair on her head trembled proudly as if she were giving a victory shout. From the pleased expression on her face, it was clear that she was very pleased with herself for teaching Shinno Megumi a lesson.

"Excuse me, sir, have you decided what you'd like to order?" Jinno Megumi stood sullenly next to Dongfang Bai's table. Although she was dressed as a maid, she didn't look like one at all. Her gaze towards Ke'er and Nayuta was filled with nothing but displeasure.
"Eh? That's not the attitude of a maid." Kanayuta spoke lightly and haltingly, her tone laced with a hint of teasing, which made Kanno Megumi's face turn bright red with anger.
How dare this woman look down on her!
"So what if I lost a head-on confrontation? Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you're older and have a bigger bust. That hateful auntie," Kamino Megumi thought maliciously to herself, gritting her teeth as she asked, "Excuse me, Master! Have you decided what you'd like to order?"
Dongfang Bai felt like she was about to grind her teeth to dust, because he could hear a series of cracking sounds. It was true that she was in the middle of a job, so even if she was so angry she wanted to die, she had to swallow her bitterness and couldn't say anything.
"Young people these days are such a hassle~" Kagurazaka Ayame said with a deadpan expression as she picked up her water glass and took a sip. She was now completely immune to the jealousy and rivalry among young people, all thanks to Dongfang Bai by her side.
In the past two years, she had witnessed Yamada Elf and Kuroneko arguing quite a bit, and occasionally Kana Nayuta or Eromanga Sensei would also get involved. All the famous young female writers in the industry had gotten to know Dongfang Bai.
What kind of portable central air conditioner is this?
"Hmm~ Not bad, then give me one of your OOO cigarettes, senior!"
"We don't sell this kind of thing here!!!"
Megumi Kamino roared loudly, her face flushed red. She was both ashamed and angry. Meanwhile, Dongfang Bai immediately covered Ke'er Nayuta's mouth to prevent her from saying anything outrageous.
Many customers in the store were attracted by Kanno Megumi's roar. She realized that she had spoken too loudly, so she immediately suppressed her embarrassment and anger and spoke softly.
"So what exactly are the masters planning to order~?"
"Let me see. Then give me a Mapo Tofu, a Curry Chicken, a Braised Pork Ribs, and a Chicken and Mushroom Soup..." Dongfang Bai casually ordered a few dishes. After Shenye Hui wrote them down, she angrily took the menu and turned to leave.
If she continues to argue with Kanayuta, she might actually be driven to the point of fainting by this outspoken silver-haired girl.
"The flavor of the senior is not bad!" Kana Yuta said with a grin, showing her little white teeth. Dongfang Bai glanced at her, wanting to say something but still couldn't say it. In the end, all his words turned into a soft sigh.
