Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

……

"The Battle Through the Heavens autograph session is officially starting." After Tsuchimikado Fuyu was ready, Machida Wanko opened the door and called out.

Soon, the first reader followed Machida Wanko in.

"Rinya?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu was also surprised to see the person who came. Why was he here?

No, based on his understanding of Aki Tomoya, it would be abnormal if he didn't come.

After all, whether it's because he genuinely likes his own book or because he came to support him and avoid feeling embarrassed if no one showed up for his first book signing, it's understandable.

"Winter, didn't expect that, did you!" Aki Tomoya said with a smile, holding an already opened copy of Battle Through the Heavens.

"No, I've figured it out." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said expressionlessly, though he was deeply moved.

"Oh, I thought you'd be more surprised."

"After all, it's Tomoya. Wouldn't it be strange if you didn't come?"

"Haha, as expected of my best friend, you really know me." Aki Tomoya smiled and handed over the Battle Through the Heavens, saying, "Tianyu-sensei, please."

Chapter 307 Book Signing Event (Part 2)

"Wow, so many people!" Outside the Shinazugawa Bookstore, Winette exclaimed in amazement at the long line that had already formed outside the store.

"I told you not to worry, you might as well stay home and play some games instead."

"Oh my, it seems someone was really sad when they heard that no one was going to Fuyu-kun's autograph session, but they changed their clothes right away! Who is that person? Vinnie, do you know?" Raphiel said with a smile to Gabriel.

I never expected Xiao Jia to have this "saying one thing but meaning another" trait; it's so funny.

Gabriel blushed and turned her head away, ignoring Raphiel's teasing.

"Damn it, why are there so many people here?" Satania suddenly said through gritted teeth.

Just as everyone was wondering why she was so angry, they heard her continue:

"My plan to show concern for my servant when he was sad, gain his gratitude, and then take him under my wing so that he would buy me pineapple buns every day failed."

"Satania, your plan is absolutely impossible to succeed!" Vinette retorted. Even if this situation did occur, at most Tsuchimikado Fuyu would buy her a few pineapple buns afterward as a token of gratitude, but expecting him to buy her things every day was definitely out of the question!

“I don’t think it’s too late yet; the plan still has a chance of succeeding,” Raphiel encouraged, though a pleasant smile appeared on her face.

Sure enough, Raphiel is trying to trick Satania again.

"Really?" Satania looked at Raphiel with genuine interest. "What's your plan?"

Seeing Satania's reaction, Raphiel's expression became even more delighted, and she began to whisper a perfect and flawless plan in Satania's ear.

If Satania dares to implement this plan, getting a beating from Tsuchimikado Fuyu would be the least of her worries.

However, Satania was completely unaware of this, and instead listened to Raphiel's plan with great interest, nodding from time to time.

Seeing the two of them like this, Vinette knew that Satania was about to be tricked again. But even if she tried to stop her, Satania wouldn't listen. So she could only sigh helplessly and prepare to play it by ear later.

Whatever they're planning, we absolutely cannot let Satania cause trouble, otherwise she'll definitely face retaliation afterward.

If he only chops her with his bare hands, that's fine. Tsuchimikado Fuyu is quite careful with his attacks. The real fear is that he'll have the Nine-Lives Cat and the Three-Tailed Fox do it. In that case, Satania might end up tied up and hung from a tree again.

While Raphiel and her three companions were queuing, several other people who knew Tsuchimikado Fuyu were also in the queue.

"I mean, why did we have to come all this way to attend this book signing? I have absolutely no interest in these mindless harem light novels!" Kirino Kousaka said speechlessly, looking at the long line ahead of her.

They've been here for almost two hours and are still queuing, with more and more people joining in. Who on earth is this author?

"Shouldn't I be the one saying this?" Kyosuke Kosaka said helplessly. "Didn't you guys stop needing me to come to your offline gatherings? Why did you invite me this time?"

"Huh? Do you have any objections?" Kirino glared fiercely at Kyosuke Kousaka, looking like she'd kill him if he dared to object.

"..."

What could he say in this situation? He was helpless too!

"Who knows why you came? Nobody forced you to come," the black cat chimed in.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Didn't you say you had a very important book signing tomorrow, but you had no one to go with, so you asked me to come with you?"

"How exactly do you think of me?" the black cat asked, looking at Kirino Kousaka with a speechless expression.

She clearly said she was going to a book signing tomorrow, so she wasn't going to attend their gathering?

"Oh? It seems the two of you have a very good relationship." Makishima Saori said with a smile.

"Huh?" Kirino Kousaka and Kuroneko stared at Saori Makishima, wondering what nonsense she was spouting.

"However, attending a light novel signing event together is quite a nice experience," Makishima Saori said with a smile, completely ignoring their stares.

"I also bought Battle Through the Heavens. Although I haven't had a chance to read it yet, it's only been two days since it gathered so many fans. It seems like this book is really good."

"Of course, this book is far superior to those mediocre works," the black cat said proudly.

"What are you so proud of? You didn't even write this book," Kirino Takasaka said speechlessly.

"You don't understand," the black cat said calmly. Her pride stemmed from the fact that it was his work!

That day, when the black cat attended Tsuchimikado Fuyu's birthday party, he heard Aki Tomoya and the others discussing this book.

Originally, she wasn't very interested. Although she aspired to be a writer and wrote fan fiction about Aschera online, she had no interest in fantasy adventure novels.

Like most people today, Black Cat also thinks that this kind of novel only makes money by selling sex appeal, and it's not good for first publication.

But as he listened, he discovered that the book was written by Tsuchimikado Fuyu and was scheduled for release next month, which piqued Kuroneko's interest.

However, she didn't go up and ask directly, because she suddenly realized that other women knew about Tsuchimikado Tou's novels, but she, who liked him, didn't. She immediately felt jealous and annoyed that she hadn't taken the initiative to learn about Tsuchimikado Tou.

She knew that Tsuchimikado Fuyu had many female friends, but because she was unsure of her own feelings and a little shy, she didn't take the initiative to get to know him. She felt like such a failure.

Although the black cat was still a little unsure of her own feelings, she knew that if she didn't take any action soon, she would truly miss out on Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

At least for now, I'm certain that I have a very good feeling towards him.

So, the black cat took the initiative to approach Tsuchimikado Fuyu and asked about Battle Through the Heavens. Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't hide anything from her and told her the same explanation he had given to Raphiel and the others that morning, and sent the manuscript to the black cat.

After returning home, the black cat was prepared to read the book carefully no matter how boring it was, and to encourage Tsuchimikado Fuyu. But then she discovered... the book was exceptionally good.

Over the next few days, the black cat would chat with Tsuchimikado Fuyu under the pretext of discussing novels. They not only talked about novels but also learned more about Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

The reason she came today was the same as Aki Tomoya and the others: on the one hand, she was worried that no one would come to today's autograph session, and on the other hand, she wanted to give Tsuchimikado Fuyu a surprise.

Chapter 308 Book Signing Event (Part 2)

This site's domain name has changed to ow. Listen online to the audiobook of "Onmyoji's Adventures in the Anime World: Chapter 308 - Autograph Session (Part 2)".

"Thank you for your support," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile to the chubby boy in front of him.

"Teacher Tianyu, keep it up! I'll always support you." The other person solemnly accepted the signed novel and said earnestly.

"I didn't expect my junior to have so many fans. It seems I came all this way for nothing!" As the chubby boy left, Kasumigaoka Utaha was revealed behind him.

"Senior, are you worried about me?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked with a smile.

"No, I'm just here to laugh at you."

"Really? I'm so sorry to disappoint you, senpai." Tsuchimikado Tou took the novel and said with a smile, "Do I need an autograph?"

"Since we're already here, we can't leave empty-handed."

"I never expected Shi-chan to have such a tsundere side," Machida Wanko teased from the side.

"Tsundere? Do you have some misunderstanding about this word? Or do you have some misunderstanding about me?" Kasumigaoka Utaha calmly glanced at Machida Wanko. She wasn't the tsundere type in any way, was she?

"Then, Ms. Xia Shizi, why did you come here? Weren't you captivated by Battle Through the Heavens?"

Don't say you're here to laugh at me; Ms. Kasumi Shiko isn't that kind of person.

Please don't arbitrarily define other people's personalities; doing so will only make you look foolish and will not do you any good.

Even if I'm not here to laugh, there's nothing wrong with me supporting the friend who inspired me, right?

"Wait... Inspiration... You mean, Teacher Tianyu is that person."

But he's not saying that writing novels is impossible. If you have bad writing skills and are lazy, even if you get published, you still have to worry about being locked up by the editor every month.

But Teacher Tianyu…

"That's enough! Can you please not say things like that to my face? Don't I have any dignity?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a dark face. Can you please stop bringing up that phrase to rub salt in the wound?

Even if I'm warning you it's actually delicious, can't you at least give me some face? Today is still my day!

"I didn't expect my junior to care about this kind of thing. But speaking of which, it's really not good that you so confidently said you couldn't write novels, but then you turned around and wrote something like this. It was corrected by the book master several times before there were no typos or random sentences."

"The old scholar?"

“My friend,” Tsuchimikado Fuyu said simply. Her relationship with Kasumigaoka Utaha wasn’t close enough for them to share everything. Besides, there were other people present, so even if they were close, she couldn’t say too much.

It's not that I'm afraid others will know I have a shikigami, but I'm afraid they'll misunderstand and think I have chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

"Once you've signed, move on to the next one!"

"Then I'd like to ask you to introduce me to this book sage if I have the chance. I also want to make my book better." Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile as she took the novel.

She didn't believe Tsuchimikado Fuyu's words at all. The name sounded like it was just randomly chosen, and he couldn't even come up with a better reason.

"No problem, if there's a chance." Tsuchimikado Fuyu was speechless when he saw Kasumigaoka Utaha's disbelieving look. This time, he really wasn't lying to her!

Of course, he wouldn't explain too much. If their relationship really became like that of Takanashi Rikka and the others, then it wouldn't matter if he introduced Shuweng to her.

However, it's not possible yet.

……

"Damn it, what's up with that woman? Why did she talk to him for so long?"

Just as Kasumigaoka Utaha and Tsuchimikado Fuyu were "competing head-on," Kuroneko happened to be queuing up at the door. Seeing this scene, Kuroneko looked displeased.

According to the usual procedure, shouldn't you be able to leave after signing your name? At most, you can chat for a bit more, but they've exceeded the allotted time, especially since the editor didn't urge them on but instead started chatting. What's wrong with this woman?

The black cat felt a sense of crisis again from Kasumigaoka Utaha. The reason for saying "again" is that there was also Raphiel before this.

No, I have to take action. Online chatting alone isn't enough; I need to start from other sources as well.

At that moment, the black cat suddenly stopped agonizing over it, no longer feeling like he liked her one moment and then uncertain the next; she simply liked him.

Black Cat was quite certain that she wasn't acting rashly due to a sudden sense of crisis; she had truly figured things out.

The reason I was suddenly uncertain before was simply because of my own indecisiveness.
