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

"Um, that..."

A young girl walked in. She looked very young, probably around the same age as Dongfang Bai, or maybe a college student. She was stunned when she saw Dongfang Bai.

Wow...it really is!

The girl looked surprised. When she heard other readers say that Yakumo-sensei was actually a 'high school student', she thought he just looked younger.

When I came in, I realized that Mr. Yakumo really looked like a high school student. He was so young and handsome!

"Um, hello Yakumo-sensei, I'm a fan of your books...!"

The woman was holding a copy of Volume 2 of Fate, and she looked very excited because it was the author of her favorite light novel, whom she considered an idol.

Just like young girls who like to idolize celebrities, in the ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) community, everyone's idols are popular writers, voice actors, and manga artists, and their enthusiasm is no less than that of young girls idolizing celebrities.

Even voice actors, once they become famous, can have unimaginable popularity. For example, if a voice actor has voiced several popular anime characters, then everyone will remember her name.

The audience at this concert can completely outshine the singers and stars, and even surpass some ordinary celebrities, and the fans have extremely strong cohesion.

Fans in the ACG community are very cohesive and have a strong drive to act. Take this signing event for Dongfang Bai, for example. Even though the second volume has only been released and he was completely unknown just a month ago, thousands of people have come to attend the signing event.

"I'm from Dayuan! I really, really love your book!"

The girl was quite excited and even took the initiative to come forward and hold Dongfang Bai's hand, showing no shyness at all, even though she came from a very far place.

Ohara is a rather far place, requiring at least two train transfers, which means she likely took the train very early in the morning, a stark contrast to Dongfang Bai, who didn't wake up until after eight o'clock.

"Thank you so much! And please don't use honorifics, just use whatever you like..."

Dongfang Bai scratched his cheek awkwardly. The college girl in front of him was stunned. It was really worth getting up early to take the tram to get here, as she was able to meet such a nice young man.

"Ms. Yakumo! Can we take a photo together?"

The girl asked tentatively, clearly looking forward to it, but Dongfang Bai could only shake his head with difficulty, since filming was not allowed inside.

That's right. Most writers have personal privacy, especially some who often miss deadlines. In order to avoid exposing their appearance, they will completely ban cameras in the venue.

To avoid trouble, Dongfang Bai did the same. After all, his appearance had already been exposed, so how could he possibly delay his writing? He might even be confronted by fans urging him to update.

"Ah, well... okay then! Anyway, I'll always support you! Keep going!"

The college girl glanced at the two unmoving bodyguards beside her, nodded with an "I understand" expression, and then quickly left.

"Ugh... I'm so tired."

Dongfang Bai reluctantly sat back down. He felt that signing autographs was tiring, but interacting with these fans was the most tiring part. However, he also felt a strange sense of accomplishment that made him feel good.

"Next, please."

Suddenly, a furtive 'unidentified person' walked in. She was wearing a large hat to cover her hair, but her long, golden hair was too conspicuous to hide.

She also wore sunglasses and a mask, and was dressed in thick clothes, making it impossible to see her face. However, the more Dongfang Bai looked at her, the more familiar she seemed, and he had already guessed what she looked like in his mind.

"East……"

Just as the girl was about to speak, the two bodyguards in front of her stopped her, preventing her from moving forward.

"Hey!? What are you doing?!"

"Sneaky and furtive."

One of the men in black looked at the girl with a probing gaze. His intuition told him that the girl's furtive appearance and heavily disguised attire might be a prank to take photos.

"No need, no need, thank you. Please let her go. She's someone I know."

Dongfang Bai waved his hand, signaling the two bodyguards to step back. They were indeed competent, but Dongfang Bai had no idea he would be forcibly kissed by a fan...

"Phew, that scared me to death..."

The girl looked terrified. She patted her flat chest, which was as smooth as a plain, and walked up to Dongfang Bai without any real danger.

"I thought I was going to be kicked out..."

The girl took off her sunglasses and mask, revealing a delicate, doll-like face.

"Eriri, what are you dressed up for...?"

Dongfang Bai looked at Ying Lili with confusion. What was she trying to do by dressing up like this? Wearing such thick clothes in this hot weather, didn't she feel hot?

"Phew, it's much cooler now."

Eriri smiled, revealing her shiny little tiger teeth. She had actually come to the autograph session secretly today, disguised because she was afraid of being seen by acquaintances.

..... .... 0

"I'm a very popular and beautiful girl at school. What if someone I know sees me at a signing event like this?"

"I'm really sorry about this kind of autograph session."

Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. This guy really didn't hold back when he said that. It was his first time holding a book signing event, after all.

"Ahem, I only came to support you because we're friends, please don't misunderstand, okay?"

Eriri gently turned her head, glancing at Dongfang Bai out of the corner of her eye, and handed him the second volume of "Fate/stay night".

However, her face was flushed, clearly she was just shy and embarrassed to say it. She was quite frank when she was little, how did she become so arrogant when she grew up?

Dongfang Bai sighed inwardly and accepted the book from Eriri.

"Oh, I'm surprised you read my book too."

"No! Don't misunderstand! I just wanted to collaborate with you, so I took a look at the character settings as a side project!"

Eriri was like a puppy whose tail had been stepped on and its fur stood on end. She became very 'fierce', and her bright silver fangs looked like she was about to bite it off.

"Thank you so much. Here, it's signed."

Dongfang Bai handed the book in his hand to Eriri. She glanced at it, nodded unconsciously, then blushed and said something to Dongfang Bai before leaving.

It's really baffling... for so long.

Chapter 67 An Excited Minami Kotori [Please Subscribe Automatically]

"call……"

Eriri's face turned bright red. She had just been thinking about what excuse to use, but luckily she was clever and managed to get away with it this way.

Actually, she really likes "Fate", especially the heroine "Rin Tohsaka", and feels a strange sense of déjà vu.

That's why she also has a good impression of the author, 'Yakumo Shiro', but later she discovers that Yakumo Shiro's true identity is actually her childhood friend...

This double surprise hit her like a heavy blow to the head, leaving her a little dizzy and unable to calm down for a while. She also didn't know how to face Dongfang Bai.

Because it was so sudden, two people with different identities suddenly told him that he was one person. Even though he had mentally rehearsed how to deal with it over the years, he was so flustered that he completely forgot everything.

She put her hat, mask, and sunglasses back on, covering herself completely as she ran away. Unfortunately, her long blonde pigtails were too conspicuous in the crowd to be hidden at all.

"That person... is so strange..."

Kotori Minami found it a bit strange to see Eriri dressed so warmly. Judging from her blonde hair and figure, she was definitely a girl, and she had just come from Yakumo-sensei's autograph session...

She must be a reader of Fate, but why is she wearing such thick clothes in this weather?

Minami Kotori shook her head in surprise, her gaze returning to the book in her hands. The second volume of Fate tells the story of the magician Cater and the newly appeared mysterious Servant, the Archer 'Archer'.

Because I was so engrossed in the story, I often forgot that I was in line, and it was very uncomfortable to force myself out of the reading state.

"Ah... I'll go back and check it out later."

Minami Kotori closed the book with a hint of regret, and carefully placed a small bookmark so she could read it again next time. There weren't many people left in line, and she figured it would be her turn soon.

"I'm so tired... Sister Changpu, can you cover for me? I'm going to lie down for a bit..."

Dongfang Bai frowned as he watched the next reader leave, then looked at Kagurazaka Ayame with an extremely uncomfortable expression.

"Hey, you've only signed a couple hundred people..."

"I'm going to sue you for exploiting your low-level employees!"

"You're not some low-level employee at all!?"

Kagurazaka Ayame was too tired to argue with this guy, so she clapped her hands and came over to massage his stiff shoulders.

"You're really lucky, you even get a beautiful editor to give you a massage at your book signing event."

"Beauty……?"

Dongfang Bai took a sip of cold mineral water and asked a sarcastic question, which made Kagurazaka Ayame's forehead furrow and her hands tighten involuntarily.

However, Dongfang Bai didn't feel anything; for him, Kagurazaka Ayame's strength was a bit too weak.

"It's eleven o'clock now, isn't it lunchtime? Isn't everyone going to eat?"

Dongfang Bai thought that the group of readers would leave to eat soon at this time, but to his surprise, they stood there motionless, showing no intention of leaving at all.

"Wow, you know that if you leave the queue now, you'll have wasted your time queuing. And you even said the autograph session will continue until 2 p.m. If you miss it, people will be really angry."

Signing documents for several hours in a row can be really tiring.

Even Dongfang Bai, after signing his name with a pen in his right hand for so long, felt a stiffness in his neck and his arm began to ache slightly.

If he had known it would be this tiring, he should have just pulled out the SIM card this morning, covered himself with the blanket, and gone to sleep.

"Next person."

Then, a rather familiar-looking girl walked in. She looked timid and quite cute. The first thing she noticed when she walked in was the two burly men next to Dongfang Bai.

"babble!!"

The scream was very pleasant to hear, like the chirping of a bird startled into flight, quite crisp and clear.

Kotori Minami was clearly startled and took two steps back. The two statue-like bodyguards were so frightening that they had already scared several girls.

However, Kotori Minami quickly calmed down and tried to avoid looking at the two burly men, instead focusing her gaze ahead.

"Eh...you are..."

"Nice to meet you, I am Yakumo Shiro."

Dongfang Bai gave a polite smile. So this girl was also here for his autograph session. He'd been wondering about it before, but now he finally saw her...

"Eh...Eh!?"
