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

Kotori Minami was taken aback, then let out a surprised shout, but she quickly realized that she had lost her composure and covered her mouth, blushing.

This girl is inexplicably cute...

"So you're Mr. Yakumo, wow... I actually talked to you before..."

Minami Kotori had a strange feeling in her heart. The boy who had asked her for directions was actually Yakumo Shiro, whom she really wanted to see.

This is such a pleasant surprise!

"Mr. Yakumo, please sign this for me!"

"Thank you so much for your support... but I also want to thank you for giving me directions."

"Eh!? This, you're welcome!"

Dongfang Bai took the Fate book she handed him and was suddenly taken aback. The book had been flipped through again, and he had just noticed a very small object.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a small green bookmark, which must have been placed there by the girl. I didn't expect her to have flipped through it so quickly.

"Did you find Volume Two interesting?"

When Dongfang Bai was signing autographs, he casually asked a question, but the girl in front of him suddenly became very excited, as if she had opened a floodgate.

"It's absolutely gorgeous! I'm so excited for Berserker's battles! 4.8 is just so cool, and Eromanga's illustrations are amazing!!!"

The girl's eyes looked like soft water, very gentle, and her voice was very unique, as melodious as a lark's, which was also one of her characteristics.

"Besides, I really can't guess Saber's 'real name' at all, I'm just too curious!"

Although Kotori was very curious, Dongfang Bai would not reveal Saber's real name in advance. It was still a secret for now, and the shock would be greater when it was revealed later.

"Then I'll give you a hint. She's a very powerful 'Queen'."

"Understood! Thank you so much, Mr. Yakumo!"

Minami Kotori's eyes widened with delight. After receiving the signed book, she quickly left, without delaying the readers who followed.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Explosion of Baidu Tieba [Please Subscribe Automatically]

"Wow, this is really unexpected..."

Kagurazaka Ayame glanced at her watch. The autograph session had come to a successful end, and the readers' response had been very positive. They would probably discuss it thoroughly on the forum afterward.

"Didn't expect anything?"

Dongfang Bai felt like his right arm was about to break. He actually managed to sign up over a thousand readers today because he felt it would be a shame to just stand them up since they had come all this way.

Although the signing was done in three parts, it wasn't all done in one go, so it wasn't particularly tiring. Everyone had a good time at the event, and he was satisfied with the result.

"I never knew you were so popular with girls...!"

Kagurazaka Ayame clicked her tongue slightly as she looked at the young man in front of her. He was wearing a handsome black coat, had short black hair and dark pupils, and had handsome, well-proportioned features.

If she were ten years younger, she might also have a strong liking for this young man.

However, he really attracts too many girls. Just based on Kagurazaka Ayame's speculation, at least 'Yamada Elf's' teacher has a close relationship with him, and secondly, her new author 'Nado's teacher.

He thought he had enough, but today he discovered that a beautiful girl with twin ponytails and gold hair who appeared out of nowhere had a close relationship with him, just like they were old friends.

"Well... I don't have that many female friends, do I?"

Dongfang Bai suddenly realized that the majority of his friends were women, an unusually large number, so many that he couldn't count them all on both hands.

"You're feeling guilty, aren't you! You were definitely feeling guilty just now, weren't you!?"

Kagurazaka Ayame covered her face. From Dongfang Bai's 'subtle' pause, she could guess that this guy must have a lot of close relationships with girls she didn't know about.

It's really worrying what will happen to him in the future.

"You'd better watch out so you don't get hit by a machete...?"

Kagurazaka Ayame waved her right hand slightly, making a knife-like gesture to intimidate Dongfang Bai, thinking she was particularly frightening. In fact, Dongfang Bai thought it was just a bit childish and funny.

"Small cleaver" is an industry term that roughly refers to a girl who has been turned to the dark side and stabbed to death with a knife. Most of these incidents are due to romantic disputes or the behavior of a cheating boyfriend who is seeing two women at the same time.

The most famous of these is 'A Certain Campus', in which the male protagonist is killed by the female protagonist due to a romantic dispute, truly a disgrace to the industry.

"Alright, the book signing event has come to a successful end today. I'll treat you to drinks!"

"I am still a minor..."

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. He was still only 16 years old. If he really went drinking with Kagurazaka Ayame, that would be terrible. Although it's normal to be a teenager in China, this is Japan.

In Japan, you can't drink alcohol before you're 20! Unless you sneak a sip from a vending machine...

……

Unbeknownst to Dongfang Bai, the forum was in complete chaos, with all sorts of messages flooding in and out.

The readers, especially those who just returned from the book signing today, were all incredibly excited.

[Oh my god, I specially transferred trains to Chiba Ward today and finally got to attend Yakumo-sensei's autograph session! Although the second volume's exquisite edition is a bit pricey, it's absolutely worth it!!! I've already read the plot, and it's just as exciting as the first volume!!!]

[OP! Did you see what Yakumo-sensei really looks like?! Is he one of those balding, balding, middle-aged men around 30?]

This greasy middle-aged man really dares to speak his mind.

[Bullshit! I just met Mr. Yakumo today, and he really is a high school student, just like the rumors say! And he's super handsome! I'm about to fall for him!!!]

[Yes, yes, he's practically my ideal type! Plus, he's so approachable and down-to-earth!]

The forum was quite lively, especially the 'Fate' forum. This forum was created by Dongfang Bai when he first started writing Fate, and many people were wondering why it was created so quickly.

The popularity of the Fate forum has grown rapidly, like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. Even many other light novel forums next door have not seen such a fast growth in followers, and it is very active every day.

Several moderators of the Fate forum started threads and spent their days guessing the character designs for Fate. Unfortunately, they had guessed many, many answers but still couldn't figure it out.

[Is this for real? Is Yakumo-sensei really a high school student? Isn't this just some bait-and-switch tactic from Dengeki Bunko?]

[It's absolutely true! I went to the autograph session today too. Although the two bodyguards at the entrance were a bit intimidating, Mr. Yakumo is really handsome! If I had to describe him, he has the looks of a leading man!]

[Wow, why aren't photos allowed inside?! I really want to take a picture with Yakumo-sensei!!!]

[It seems there's been some leak that actually, Mr. Yakumo has been wandering around in the queue all day...]

Actually, despite how lively these guys are on Tieba (a Chinese online forum), they wouldn't dare to talk like that at the autograph session. At most, they would just greet Dongfang Bai, sign the autograph, and leave.

Because everyone here is a shut-in, our communication skills are practically zero (540). If we really had to say something, we wouldn't even be able to speak without a keyboard.

[Damn it, why couldn't I get in? I was just thinking of buying the second volume's deluxe edition, and now it tells me it's sold out?! It's only been on sale for less than an hour! Are you guys trying to rob me?!]

[To the person upstairs, I guess quite a few people bought three or four copies... so it's sold out immediately.]

[This newbie is asking if any experts have guessed Saber's real name yet...]

These forum members are incredibly good at posting; even some of the most popular forums aren't as active as them. This is because the Fate universe is so vast that there's just too much to talk about, and it's impossible to finish discussing it all.

During special times, especially when the author updates, topics in the forum will emerge one after another, making it impossible to stop talking. Dongfang Bai would occasionally use an alternate account to check it out.

[I can't believe it, I finished reading Volume 2 as soon as it was released today. I can probably guess that Lancer's real name is most likely Cú Chulainn, but Berserker is a bit hard to figure out...]

I can't wait for volume three! Damn, this is just not enough!

{PS: I've been watching Hell Girl these past few days, and while I'm writing, all I can think about is its plot, so I can't write anything at all!}

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Is she my brother's girlfriend? [Please subscribe automatically]

After finishing his lunch, Dongfang Bai sat back down in front of his computer. After the autograph session ended, Kagurazaka Ayame dragged him to dinner.

Moreover, that guy even tried to force himself to drink alcohol several times. Although the alcohol content of Japanese sake is not high, he still didn't really want to drink it.

He just checked Twitter and Baidu Tieba and saw the readers' feedback, which was quite satisfactory. So the autographs he signed this time were worthwhile.

'Ding dong! '

It was a video call request, and it was from Sagiri. Dongfang Bai paused for a moment before accepting the request.

"elder brother!"

As soon as the video call connected, Sagiri's cute little face appeared. She stared at me very seriously, as if she had something very important to say.

Dongfang Bai's lips twitched slightly. He was right downstairs, and Sagiri could understand what she meant with just a stomp of her foot. Why did she have to make a video call?

"I can not make it……"

Sagiri's tone was extremely dejected, like a gamer who had been trying to rank up but lost all night; she was feeling quite upset at the moment.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't draw anymore..."

Sagiri's voice was still a bit soft, and she noticed this, so she pulled the microphone closer to her face to make her voice sound louder.

"I want to draw some erotic pictures of Illya, but I just can't seem to get it right..."

Sagiri shook her head. This was the first time she had ever felt so irritable. Ever since she saw Yamada Elf's panties, she had become increasingly eager to see girls' panties.

"Then, is there anything I can help you with?"

I want panties!

"what?"

Dongfang Bai froze. Imagine if your own sister came up to you and said, "I want panties," how would you feel...?

"I want to see girls' panties!"

Sagiri stared earnestly at Dongfang Bai's face. Although her expression was very serious and earnest, the words she spoke did not match her facial expression at all.

"Especially, big-breasted girls, brother, I want to see!!!"

Faced with Sagiri's request, Dongfang Bai was completely speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say at all. Why should he be asked about this?

She's not some busty girl, is she?

"Um, can't I use pictures from the internet?"
