This guy's manuscript doesn't even have a single typo! As the editor, I can't even correct typos, koru~a!!!

"That, that really is..."

The stubble-faced editor rolled his eyes and watched Kagurazaka Ayame go crazy in place. In the end, he could only dial the phone number of the next author who was late with his manuscript.

……

"Well, it seems I'm not too late to come back today."

Dongfang Bai walked for nearly ten minutes and arrived at the street near his home. He could reach his doorstep by walking straight.

"Damn it! Give me back my pineapple bun!!!"

Then he suddenly saw a red-haired girl wearing a Toyosaki school uniform running past from the street next to him, as if she was chasing a small figure.

"From Toyosaki?"

Dongfang Bai was slightly taken aback, and then he saw a cute little white dog suddenly run out from the side street. It moved very quickly, but what was most eye-catching was the pineapple bun it was carrying in its mouth?

"Don't run!"

A red-haired girl was chasing a small white dog, swinging her schoolbag in her hand. Her red hair was tied into two loops with a purple ribbon, and a small black bat hair clip was attached to the front of her hair.

However, she seemed a bit clumsy; the little dog wasn't running very fast, and its movements were so straightforward that she just couldn't catch it.

Suddenly, the white puppy leaped up and kicked the red-haired girl on the head, flying away as if to escape. Dongfang Bai reached out and caught it in his arms.

"Ouch!"

The puppy started moving around erratically, but couldn't break free from Dongfang Bai's embrace. Dongfang Bai then took the pineapple bun from its mouth. It's quite amusing that there's a dog that can snatch pineapple buns.

"Waaaaah..."

The red-haired girl was kicked by the white puppy and accidentally fell to the ground. Dongfang Bai walked over speechlessly and handed her the pineapple bun in his hand.

"Is this yours? Are you alright?"

The little white dog seemed very unwilling, but it just couldn't break free. In the end, for some unknown reason, it stopped trying to break free and just sat obediently in Dongfang Bai's arms.

"Thank you... Are you an angel...?!"

The girl slowly stood up, but strangely, despite the hard fall, she had no injuries whatsoever, only a little dust.

"I'm not an angel..."

Dongfang Bai looked at the girl with some amusement and handed her the pineapple bun in his hand. Suddenly, the little dog in his arms gave the red-haired girl a very human-like mocking look.

"You! You! You dare to provoke Lady Satania, the future Great Demon!"

The girl, who called herself 'Satania', suddenly changed her demeanor, placing her right hand in front of her with an 'elegant' posture.

"I am the future Great Demon Kurumizawa Satania McWell! Remember that!"

The Great Demon?

Dongfang Bai tilted his head. What on earth was this girl talking about? Demons and angels? She was probably just a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

So she's a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl. How pitiful. I hope she won't cry when she faces this embarrassing past in the future.

"Hey...hey! Why are you looking at me like I'm some abandoned little animal?!"

Satania noticed that Dongfang Bai's expression was off, and immediately spoke somewhat angrily.

"It's nothing, stay strong."

Dongfang Bai waved his hand, looking pained. The moment you realize you're suffering from chuunibyou is the most painful moment, especially when your chuunibyou history is discovered by your friends or even your lover.

I really want to die.

"Hmph, you've helped me, Lady Satania, this time! So if you're willing to submit to me, you'll be a hero once I become the Great Demon."

"Ow!"

The white puppy suddenly barked twice at Satania, who was standing with her hands on her hips, startling her so much that she turned pale and took several steps back.

.... ........ 0

Is this... this is the great demon of the future? It's terrifying!

"Alright, Miss Big Devil, I have to go now. See you again sometime."

"Hey!? Don't ignore me!"

Satania shouted angrily, but Dongfang Bai simply waved his hand behind his back and left, placing the puppy on the ground as he went.

"Alright, alright, that's enough..."

Dongfang Bai took out his key, ready to open the door, when suddenly a noisy sound came from the side. Dongfang Bai looked to the side with some curiosity.

"Um!?"

Yamada Elf's long golden hair shone brightly in the sun as she stood on the edge of the windowsill, looking terrified.

That's right! Standing on the windowsill!

"Hello!?"

Dongfang Bai rushed over quickly, and Yamada Fairy immediately jumped down. Dongfang Bai grabbed her in mid-air, holding her shoulder with his right hand and supporting her thigh with his left.

"What are you doing!?"

"Quick, hide!"

Yamada Elf didn't even have time to blush when she realized she was being carried in a princess carry. She broke free, grabbed Dongfang Bai, and pinned him to the ground. She did this very quickly, without the slightest hesitation.

Dongfang Bai stared blankly at Yamada Elf sitting motionless on his lap, completely bewildered. He hadn't figured out what this guy was suddenly doing, and besides, the action was far too ambiguous!

"Hey……"

"Quiet!"

Yamada Fairy's face turned pale. She suddenly clung to Dongfang Bai's chest, looking as if some ferocious beast was chasing her.

This guy actually jumped from the second floor of her house. That's just too outrageous. Given her nerdy physique and the angle of her fall, if I hadn't caught her, she would most likely have broken a bone.

That guy is really bold. Luckily, I got back just in time, otherwise he'd be lying in an ambulance bed right now...

Speaking of which, I have to thank that slightly clumsy, chuunibyou girl who bought me some time.

The current position of the fairy and Dongfang Bai is still very awkward. The fairy is lying directly above Dongfang Bai, and the two are facing each other with their faces extremely close. They can even hear each other's breathing clearly.

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any problems."

Yamada Elf's slightly pointed ears twitched slightly. Come to think of it, the girl's ears did indeed look a bit pointed, just like those of a fairy in a fairy tale.

"What on earth happened?"

Dongfang Bai suddenly sat up, startling the fairy who leaned back and stood up. She patted the dust off her skirt, looking relaxed.

"Well, actually it's just... Hey hey hey hey you?!"

The fairy was just casually brushing the dust off her skirt when suddenly her face turned bright red, her fair, pointed ears turning bright red, and she looked incredibly shy.

"Just...just now, I...I was on top of you?"

Is this guy's reaction time a bit off? It took him ages to realize he'd been lying on top of him the whole time.

"I can't stand it."

Dongfang Bai dusted off the dust behind him and stood up, completely baffled by the blonde girl's intentions. However, judging from her willingness to 'jump off a building' to escape, she must have encountered some terrifying enemy.

"Ahem, ahem, anyway, come with me first."

After a while, Yamada Elf had adjusted herself, tidied her slightly frizzy long hair, and headed straight for her house.

Dongfang Bai stood there for a moment, stunned, before quickly following her. Although he didn't know what she was doing, his intuition told him that it was better to follow her.

"Come on, sit down."

The fairy led Dongfang Bai to the studio on the second floor. He had been here once before, but that time he had accidentally seen the fairy's naked body and then inexplicably ended up here.

"So, can you tell me why you specifically jumped from the second floor into my yard?"

Dongfang Bai stared at the fairy sitting on the sofa with a dead fish expression, holding a cup of red tea. However, he had a pretty good idea of ​​what had happened: the people who had just left her house.

They don't seem to be here to collect debts, so they're probably here to collect the manuscript.

"If I remember correctly, your release date should be in a few days. I've seen you playing games with me these past few days, so I guess you haven't even written your article yet?"

As Dongfang Bai finished speaking, he clearly felt Yamada Elf's body stiffen slightly, indicating that what he said was true.

"Moreover, the manuscripts in your studio are scattered everywhere. Some are written on, and some are blank. I guess you were in such a hurry that you ran away without tidying up."

Dongfang Bai picked up a piece of white paper from the ground. It contained a printed article, but the other few pieces of paper scattered around it were blank and had nothing written on them.

"So, today should have been the deadline for submitting the manuscript, but you haven't finished writing it at all, so the editor came to urge you to finish. You wanted to run away but had nowhere to hide, so you ended up jumping into my yard, right?"

"Are you some kind of Edogawa XX?!"

Yamada Elf immediately exclaimed, "This guy guessed way too accurately! I'm starting to wonder if this guy in front of me is the detective high school student Kudo XX who's known as the Sherlock Holmes of the XX era!"

Speaking of which, the manga "Detective Conan" also exists in this parallel world. Originally, Dongfang Bai wanted to use some of its content, but in the end, he had to give up.

"That's right! I didn't finish writing, and those guys just came to arrest me. Those bastards actually carried me, the 'God of Light Novels,' away last time! They carried me away!"

Yamada Fairy's mouth was full of resentment, and she continued to complain about all the bad things about the editorial department. Dongfang Bai could only listen helplessly to her venting her grievances.

This guy really holds a deep grudge...

"That guy! He actually locked me in a dark room for three whole days before letting me out. I felt like I was about to die!"

Yamada Fairy grew angrier the more she thought about it. She gulped down the black tea in her cup and then pulled out a box of biscuits from somewhere, crunching away.

The "Little Black Room," a name that terrifies countless light novel writers, is said to be associated with a legend within the editorial department where authors who fail to meet deadlines are locked up.

Forced to write day and night in order to finish all the manuscripts before the deadline, I once heard that an author who missed the deadline was mentally unstable after being released from there.

It was terrifying. I never imagined that Yamada Elf had been locked up like that, and for three days and three nights at that. I really admire her perseverance in delaying her work, even when she was locked in a dark room.

"So what are you planning to do? The deadline is just around the corner, isn't it? Even if you hide in my house by the deadline, it won't do you any good, okay?"
