Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

A pineapple bun is a pineapple bun. No matter how fancy or high-class the name may be, it still doesn't change the fact that it's bread.

Rather than bread, Tsuchimikado prefers to eat a few more bites of grilled meat.

He is a carnivore.

“That won’t do.” Satania hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said firmly, “I must beat Gabriel this time.”

"What does this have to do with me?" Gabriel, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, said speechlessly.

"Let's have a showdown, Gabriel. Let's see whose gift is more appealing," Satania shouted, pointing at Gabriel.

"No matter how you look at it, Satania, you can't win!" Vinette retorted, after all, only Satania would treat a pineapple bun like a treasure!

“No, Vinnie, I lost this time,” Gabriel said, shaking her head.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

"Xiao Jia, are you that insecure? Although this isn't directed at Satania, any normal gift should be better than a pineapple bun, right? Are you going to give the same thing as Lafi?"

"Oh, Vinnie, that's prejudice of yours. The gift I gave was very ordinary!"

Knowing the truth, Winette and Tsuchimikado Tou rolled their eyes at Raphiel, thinking to themselves, "Ordinary my foot!"

"However... I didn't expect Xiao Jia to give up so easily." Raphiel continued, seemingly oblivious to the eye rolls from Tsuchimikado and the others.

“Because… I didn’t prepare a gift at all, so there’s no way I can beat Satania no matter what!” Gabriel said, shrugging.

"Huh?" Raphiel and Winette were stunned, and even Satania looked at Gabriel with a blank expression. "Gabriel, isn't it common sense to give a birthday present?"

"Oh, thinking about it carefully, it would be awkward if the other person didn't like the gift I gave them, so rather than making things awkward for both of us, it's better to cut it off at the source."

"The truth?" Tsuchimikado Tou rolled his eyes at Gabriel; he didn't believe a word she said.

"I accidentally spent too much money on in-game purchases recently, and I'm out of money."

“Xiao Jia, you can make a gift yourself! Even a simple handmade gift is better than nothing!” Winette said.

"I'm lazy."

"..."

……

"Xiaodong, we're leaving too."

After Tohru and the others left, the birthday party was considered over. Back in the courtyard, the idol zombies and shikigami were helping to clean up, tidy up the trash, and wash the kitchen utensils.

Meanwhile, Tsuchimikado Fuyu went back to the cabin, ate the lollipop Connor had given him, and started unwrapping his birthday presents.

On May 7th, Fennel gave me a small yellow pillow, which looked quite nice. Tsuchimikado Tofu felt like taking a nap with this pillow under his head.

I have to say she truly deserves to be called a nap expert; she really knows how to choose a pillow.

The gift from Nibutani Morika was quite ordinary—just a crystal ball, a common birthday present.

Inside the glass crystal ball is a talisman pattern. Although it looks a bit cheesy, it's actually quite nice. It can be placed on the shelf in the bedroom as a decoration, along with the wooden carving given by the idol zombies.

As expected, Sanae Dekomori's gift was indeed very chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur).

Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at the black blanket with a magic circle drawn on it, hesitated for a moment, then placed it on a low table. He then placed the box containing the sword of God, which Tohru had given him, the indescribable magical materials given to him by Kobayashi, and Fafnir's Book of Curses on it.

Ercoa always carries Tsuchimikado Fuyumi's amulet with her, but as for Raphiel's massager, she'll just leave it to gather dust in a corner!

After tidying up the gifts, only the gifts from Aki Tomoya, Kuroneko, and Takanashi Rikka remained. (I forgot to include Kuroneko's gift when I wrote it before, but I added it in the previous chapter.)

Opening Aki Tomoya's gift, inside was the latest volume of a light novel that Tsuchimikado Fuyu used to love. Although the Tsuchimikado Fuyu who had transmigrated didn't like it as much now, Aki Tomoya didn't know that.

However, it is, after all, his good intention, and it would be nice to take a look at it when you have time.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu glanced at the remaining two gift boxes, both with a dark and chuunibyou (delusional) art style. He opened Takanashi Rikka's gift first, and his feelings were somewhat complicated upon seeing the gift inside.

What to say?

The packaging looks rather cheesy, but I didn't expect the gift to be so ordinary.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Tsuchimikado Fuyu disliked Takanashi Rikka's gift, but rather... the gift was the same as another one!

Moreover, not only was the gift similar in style, but it was also exactly the same crystal ball that Nibutani Morika had given her. If Takanashi Rikka hadn't gone back with him that afternoon, Tsuchimikado Fuyu would have suspected that the two of them had gone to buy it together.

Of course, what Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know was that although the two of them didn't go to buy the gifts together, they did buy them from the same gift shop.

Because there wasn't much time at noon, Rikka Takanashi bought a gift at a gift shop near the school, while Morika Nibutani, who was also in a hurry in the afternoon, glanced at the gift shop as she passed by and immediately fell in love with the crystal ball.

Of course, this wasn't the most speechless thing for Tsuchimikado Fuyu; what was even more speechless was yet to come.

When Tsuchimikado Fuyu opened the gift from the black cat, his feelings became even more complicated.

If Nibutani Morika and Takanashi Rikka have some similarities, then Kuroneko and Winette basically have nothing in common!

That's right, Black Cat and Winette also received the same gift.

Actually, it's not a big deal if you receive the same gift as someone else; Tsuchimikado Fuyu won't mind. But whether it's a water glass or a crystal ball, it will definitely be on display. When other people come over to visit, it will be awkward if they suddenly find that they have received two of your gifts!

Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

Chapter 304 Light Novel Release

This site's domain name has changed to ow. The audiobook of Chapter 304 of "The Onmyoji Who Mingles in the World of Anime" is now available for online listening.

Time flies, and more than a week has passed quietly. Everything seems unchanged, and daily life remains the same as always. Not even a single shikigami has been added.

No, it's impossible to say there's been absolutely no change. For example, Kotaro Tatsumi has finished his studies and returned to Saga with his idol zombies and the Jumping Siblings over the weekend.

For example, Kasumigaoka Utaha approached Tsuchimikado Fuyu several times to ask for his opinion on the new volume of Love Metronome. It seems that she was influenced by the White Album, and she accidentally went off-topic, so her inspiration was somewhat limited.

For example, a new member joined the Array Cat Guild. He was Xiu Fan's friend, but at first, because he didn't quite understand the relationship between Lucian and Ayako, he got a little too close to Lucian, which made Ayako so jealous that she almost turned evil.

For example, Yoshiko Hanabatake was called over by her teacher, Junko Oshieda, to ask about her exam paper and to encourage her to study on her own initiative.

Unfortunately, after Hanabatake Yoshiko's series of brain-draining attacks, Oshieda Junko-sensei was in a daze all day, constantly muttering things like "What is love? I have no right to understand Anko's feelings," which worried everyone.

Also, everyone went to Kikuri's place on Saturday and had a great day with Usagi.

However, aside from playing with Usagi, everyone spent the whole time listening to Kikuri complaining about how stupid Usagi was and listing all the mistakes she had made.

Of course, Kikuri didn't say this in front of Usagi, since she didn't want to drive Usagi away, but rather wanted to get some "compensation" from Tsuchimikado and the others.

Given her current state, she's lucky to even have a shrine maiden. She has no right to be picky. Besides, even if she could find a shrine maiden, such an obedient one wouldn't be easy to find.

Kikuri is already planning how to train Usagi-no-Mura; shrine maidens aren't just for cleaning shrines.

Even if we don't use Rabbit Storm in battle, strengthening our power and enhancing the shrine's foundation is still an option.

There are many similar things, some interesting, some boring, some speechless... but none of these have any impact on Tsuchimikado Fuyu's mundane daily life.

On the contrary, today, Thursday, July 5th.

After five days of extensive advertising in Chiba, Tsuchimikado Fuyu's novel began to be sold nationwide.

Of course, this doesn't mean that only Chiba is doing the promotion; it just means that Chiba's promotional efforts are the most extensive.

After all, Chiba is the main base of the bookstore, so naturally the publicity channels are basically all theirs, but the publicity efforts for "Battle Through the Heavens" in other regions are also quite significant.

Let's not even talk about the Kanto region. Although Tokyo can't possibly have "Battle Through the Heavens" promotional posters all over the subway like Chiba, it's even less likely that they'll hang large posters on buildings in Akihabara.

However, there is still a subway line with more than a dozen branches of varying sizes, including a large branch located in Akihabara.

Although it's shared with several other books in the library, it's still quite good.

As for Saitama, Kanagawa, and other places, they provided Tsuchimikado Fuyuki with a lot of publicity resources.

In places like Shikoku and Kansai, you can also see posters for "Battle Through the Heavens".

Putting aside everything else, wherever there is an Undying River Bookstore, "Battle Through the Heavens" is in the most prominent position, and Undying River Bookstore has branches all over the country.

Although its development in other regions has been suppressed by other local bookstores, it is still possible to open one or two in each city.

Of course, there are limits to the highest recommendation. It's impossible to give all the resources in the library to Tsuchimikado Fuyuki, otherwise it would be too unfair to other authors.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu also expressed his understanding. In fact, he was shocked when he saw Chiba's promotion. He almost thought that he had stolen the resources of other authors.

Only later did he realize that his resources only accounted for half of the paperback's content, and it was then that Tsuchimikado Fuyu realized the strength of Japan's four top paperback publishers.

Actually, the reason why the promotion of "Battle Through the Heavens" in Chiba was so fierce, as if all the resources were given to Tsuchimikado Tou, was simply because the other party wanted to show off their strength and imagine that Tsuchimikado Tou's resources were no worse than those of other light novel publishers.

Of course, this isn't just targeting Tsuchimikado Fuyu; the paperback station does this for every new author who gets the highest recommendation for their very first book.

Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, as long as he does succeed, his next book will not be published by any major publisher unless they do something to betray him.

This can be seen as an investment by the library in "genius" authors, an investment that is easy for them to recoup their costs.

Even if the other party fails, it still shows that the paperback publisher values ​​the author, which can be considered a form of publicity for the paperback publisher. No matter how you look at it, they won't lose out.

So, some people might ask, who lost out in this situation?

Actually, no one loses out.

For the author, it's definitely a win-win situation. Their book received comprehensive recommendations, and regardless of whether it's popular or not, they wouldn't mind giving it to the authors in return.

In general, even if they lose money, they have no one to blame but themselves; the poor quality of their food is the root of the problem.

With the new book going on sale, Tsuchimikado Fuyu wasn't completely idle. Although he didn't care about the book's sales, the paperback publishers did. They wouldn't let go of any method that could increase light novel sales.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu received a message from Machida, the editor, asking him to attend the book signing on Saturday.

Although Tsuchimikado Tou really didn't want to hold a book signing event, since he would be embarrassed if no one came and his hands would be tired and sore by the end of the day if someone did come, he couldn't escape the contract for these things.

When signing the contract, Machida Wanko took into account that Tsuchimikado Fuyu might be lazy, so she directly stipulated that before the end of "Battle Through the Heavens", if the paperback needed to promote it and Tsuchimikado Fuyu did not have time to delay, he must follow the paperback's arrangements and hold three to six autograph sessions and one to three fan meetings.

As for why a specific time was specified, it was probably inspired by Kasumigaoka Utaha, since her contract didn't specify a timeframe, only requiring the author to cooperate, which caused Machida Wanko a lot of trouble.

Chapter 305 Speculation

"Ugh! Am I really that unlucky? I even pulled an SSR, so I guess I'm lucky enough to have European blood, right?"

On Friday night, after drawing the mysterious talisman he had just received that day, Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu looked at the large gift pack of materials in front of him and couldn't help but question his life.

why?

Including last week, Tsuchimikado Fuyu has obtained a total of nine talismans in two weeks.

Among the five broken talismans, I drew two two-star R-rank white cards, one N-rank white card, and two sets of awakening materials. If we disregard the fact that no new shikigami appeared, Tsuchimikado Fuyuki is actually quite lucky.
