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

Dongfang Bai made a comment about Yamada Elf's maid outfit, saying it was too eye-catching and even a little bit 'sexy'.

Her fair and smooth shoulders were completely exposed, as was a large portion of her back. She wore white stockings and was a blonde lolita beauty who could make countless people bleed to death.

As expected of Sagiri, and as expected of Eromanga-sensei, the clothes she chose are of excellent quality.

"You can't expect me to take my clothes off here, can you?"

Yamada Elf rolled her eyes. She was only wearing an ordinary little dress when she came over, and now that dress was on Dongfang Bai's bed. She picked it up and hugged it to her arms.

"It's alright, it's just a few steps from your house to mine..."

Yamada Elf didn't seem to care at all. Dongfang Bai was a little worried because there were a lot of thugs in Japan. He would definitely not agree to Elf going out in such a lewd outfit.

Who knows if she'll be followed by a perverted man with lustful intentions? Luckily, her house is very close by; it's only about 10 steps from where she goes.

"I'll take you back; it's just a short walk anyway."

"Hmph... Hmph~ Since you insist on giving it to me, it's not impossible."

When Yamada Elf heard that Dongfang Bai wanted to take her home, her pretty face flushed. Although she was a bit sharp-tongued, she was actually quite happy inside, which meant that Dongfang Bai still cared about her.

"Oh right, speaking of which, you're having a book signing this Saturday, right?"

Yamada Elf suddenly remembered this matter and asked Dongfang Bai about it.

"That's right. Actually, I really didn't want to go, but my editor Kagurazaka kept harassing me, and I almost blocked her."

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. It was just a book signing anyway; he was still a newcomer, and he figured not many readers would come. Even if a lot did, he could just find an excuse to slip away.

"Then good luck! Anyway, I've never held a book signing or made any public appearances, because it would be troublesome if a super beautiful girl like me got harassed."

While Fairy's comment about episode 4.8 might seem a bit narcissistic, it's true that many celebrities in Japan are now subject to harassment and even have their addresses dug up after publicly revealing their personal information.

Moreover, fairies are the kind of people who prefer staying at home, so they naturally don't like places with a lot of people.

"Well, good luck anyway, see you tomorrow~"

At this moment, Dongfang Bai had already escorted the fairy to her doorstep. She waved to him and then gracefully left, heading towards her own front door.

After a while, she suddenly turned back, her face flushed and looking embarrassed.

"Um, I forgot my keys..."

Although you look embarrassed as you come to me for help, blushing, you were really cool when you left so confidently.

Saturday finally arrived. No matter how much Dongfang Bai didn't want this day to come, it still came, and it came much faster than expected.

"Hey?"

"Yakumo-sensei, are you ready!?"

As soon as the phone was turned on, Dongfang Bai didn't even bother to look at the contact's name before guessing who was calling. Who else but his editor would call him at this time?

"Well, that's about right."

Dongfang Bai replied somewhat lazily, not expecting the autograph session to be at 10 a.m. But since that's the case, everyone should be dismissed soon, right?

Since 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. are lunchtimes for most people, no one would be idle enough to stay in line at a book signing event. It's better to take advantage of lunchtime to slip away.

"Hey, you didn't just get up, did you...?"

Kagurazaka Ayame's skeptical tone suddenly came through, and Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. This girl's guess was really accurate; he didn't expect her to guess that he had just woken up...

But it's only 8 o'clock now, and it's a Saturday, a holiday. Dongfang Bai, who could normally sleep until 10 o'clock, is already quite remarkable to be able to get up now!

"Well, I'm already on my way."

Actually, I haven't even gotten out of bed yet.

That's good.

Upon hearing Dongfang Bai's reply, Kagurazaka Ayame responded with some skepticism, and then quickly hung up the phone so as not to disturb Dongfang Bai's walk.

"Yes, it's already on its way."

Dongfang Bai yawned, then got up to wash up. The location of this book signing event wasn't particularly far, so there was no need for him to be in such a hurry.

And since it only opens at 10 o'clock, he should still have enough time to arrive at 9:30.

"Sagiri, I'm going to a signing event. I left my lunch in the fridge, remember to heat it up..."

Dongfang Bai only called out once, and it is estimated that Sagiri upstairs responded in a daze, as she was fast asleep just like him.

After all, both of them are night owls, so eight o'clock in the morning is no different from the middle of the night for them.

Because every time I want to leave home, I have to go through this super tough slope. It would be quite tiring to walk up normally, but going down is surprisingly easy.

Moreover, below the Good Man Slope is the confectionery shop 'Hoimura' that he frequents. Since both he and Sagiri like the wagashi (Japanese sweets) made there, they became familiar with the proprietress after visiting twice.

"Auntie, I want red bean paste filling today...!"

Dongfang Bai walked into the wagashi shop, but he didn't see the familiar old lady tending the shop today. It was empty. He had originally planned to buy some wagashi to eat for breakfast on the way...

"They're here, they're here..."

"Oh dear, Bai-jun is here again. You want red bean paste filling today, right? Two?"

My aunt was still very energetic, and you couldn't tell that she was over forty years old. She looked like a teenager in the prime of her youth.

"You're up really early today. Wow, you look so handsome! Are you going out on business? Maybe on a date...?"

"No no no..."

Dongfang Bai quickly shook his head and refused. He didn't know when his aunt had figured out his personality. She basically didn't eat breakfast, and even if she did, it was after ten o'clock. She ate dessert at lunch.

Moreover, if her aunt knew that she was going on a 'date,' she would most likely pull her aside to start a conversation and try to ask the girl about the other person.

And it really makes one curious about what her daughter is like, that she would be so worried about her daughter not being able to get married...

And he's the only one who comes so early to buy wagashi (Japanese sweets).

"It's not a date, I just have some things to take care of, I should be back before noon."

"You're so busy! Keep up the good work!"

As expected, Auntie didn't press the matter further. Knowing that Dongfang Bai was in a hurry, she immediately put the sweets she was holding into a bag and handed it to Dongfang Bai.

……

"Hey, hey, hey, hasn't Yakumo-sensei arrived yet!?"

Kagurazaka Ayame was flustered at the autograph session. She gripped her phone tightly in her right hand, the veins on it bulging. She tried to call Dongfang Bai, but couldn't get through.

Hey kid, you actually turned off your phone...?

"Is Yakumo-sensei planning to back out and run away...?"

"It shouldn't be... right?"

The more Kagurazaka Ayame talked, the more uncertain she felt. She deeply understood Dongfang Bai's personality; that guy would definitely find a way to avoid doing things he didn't want to do.

That guy probably said "I'm on my way" but then immediately pulled out his SIM card, covered himself with the blanket, and went back to sleep...?

If it were him, he might actually do that...

"Editor Kagurazaka, it's already 9:30! Yakumo-sensei still hasn't arrived. How are we going to start? Are we going to have to delay it?!"

The staff member wearing a hat outside said anxiously, "If it were any other author, they would be sitting in the venue two hours in advance waiting for the start of the event. But Dongfang Bai is the only one who hasn't arrived yet, even though there's only half an hour left before the start."

Hey, this is a signing event for 'Yakumo Shiro'! If even Yakumo Shiro himself isn't here, what's the point of signing anything?

"Tsk..."

Kagurazaka Ayame is currently on the second floor of the venue. She looks out at the venue and sees a long queue of 540 people, with an estimated number of over a thousand people. Such an exaggerated number is comparable to that of some popular authors!

Unfortunately, the author himself, who is the main character, hasn't arrived yet. What are we going to do when it's time to start the scene? Are we going to tell everyone, "Yakumo-sensei isn't here, you can all go home?"

Are you kidding me? If I really said that, these readers would be absolutely furious, okay? Maybe Dengeki Bunko headquarters would be bombarded with criticism the next day? Or maybe they'd launch a massive smear campaign on the forums?

That's it, my career is over.

"No, we absolutely cannot let this book signing event be ruined."

Kagurazaka Ayame was sweating bullets. If Dongfang Bai were a relatively unknown author, even if he didn't come, there probably wouldn't be many people there, just like a signing event held by a low-popularity author.

The venue was completely empty... or perhaps only a few people showed up sporadically.

But there are thousands of people outside, and that's no joke. If things go wrong, it'll be a huge embarrassment.

"At most, we'll delay the start. It's quite hot here. If we have to delay the start, we should hurry up and hand out free water to the readers waiting outside!"

Kagurazaka Ayame remained calm. She knew she absolutely couldn't panic at this moment. There were still 20 minutes until the start of the show, and she had to take advantage of this time to go out and find Dongfang Bai.

"Waaah..."

Dongfang Bai felt a chill run down his spine. He took a closer look at the flyer in his hand, which clearly stated that the first-day premiere and autograph session for the genius new author 'Yakumo Shiro' would be held here...

But he felt he had gone to the wrong place. There were far too many people here, and the lines were incredibly long. Judging by the crowd, there must have been at least a thousand people. It was a sea of ​​people, with heads everywhere you looked.

"Hello, is this the venue for Yakumo Shiro's autograph session?"

Dongfang Bai casually asked a girl in line, but he probably already guessed a lot of what was going on, since the address on the flyer couldn't possibly be wrong.

"Eh...? Um...?"

The girl in front of me seemed a little embarrassed. She stammered and didn't know what to say. After all, people who read light novels are mostly otaku.

Moreover, introverted men and women generally share a common trait: social anxiety, especially when facing strangers, they are even afraid to speak.

However, Dongfang Bai completely misunderstood. In fact, the girl was not socially anxious at all; she was just a little flustered when a boy suddenly struck up a conversation with her.

Because she usually attends all-girls schools and all her friends are girls, she has almost no contact with men, so she is having trouble adjusting for a while.
