While Professor Eromanga was discussing the artwork, Machida Wanko left first, indicating that the two were preparing to collaborate, so there was no need for her here.

Soon, the two finished discussing the artwork, chatted briefly, and agreed to meet again at the same coffee shop the next morning before Professor Eromanga left.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu borrowed Dino's computer, planning to wait for them to get off work while coding for a while.

"Business is good, but it's too tiring," Hinata Kaho complained. "If I weren't saving up to go on a shopping spree at the summer festival anime convention, I would have gone straight home for summer vacation."

"After all, it costs a lot of money. But if you really leave, Ma Dong-san will cry."

“No, even if that’s the case, I’ll still leave.” At that moment, Hoshikawa Mafuyu walked over and said calmly.

Just kidding. I was practically dragged here to work, and although I'm used to it now, if I really let her handle the reception all by herself, she'd be overwhelmed.

Summer vacation is different from the previous semester. During the school year, you only need to come downstairs, but during the summer vacation, you have to be open all day, and the number of customers has increased a lot. I can't handle it all by myself.

"Ah, Ma Dong-san, what you said hurts me so much." Suddenly, Dino walked over in a flamboyant manner, clutching his chest and saying with a sad expression.

"Why is the manager getting more and more flamboyant since we last met?" Seeing Dino's behavior, Tsuchimikado Fuyu whispered to Hinata Kaho.

"Uh, hehe, maybe I just let myself go," Hinata Kaho laughed awkwardly, seemingly quite helpless about Dino's flamboyant behavior.

He's a really handsome guy, why is he so flirtatious?

"Instead of wasting your time, why don't you go and hire two more waiters?" Hoshikawa Mado punched Dino in the stomach and said speechlessly.

“But finding the right employees isn’t easy,” Dino said with a sigh. “It’s really hard to find cute girls who can play special roles. I’ve met a few, but either they don’t need work, or their personalities don’t match.”

"Let's find at least one more person, otherwise, if Xia Fan and I can't come one day, one person simply won't be able to handle it," Hoshikawa Mafuyu sighed.

"We're already looking." Dino smiled awkwardly. He was quite strict about the qualities of his employees, adopting a "better to have none than to have bad ones" attitude.

"By the way, speaking of which, the biggest anime and manga event in Japan is in two weeks. Are you guys going to attend?" Dino suddenly asked.

"A summer festival? Of course I'll go! Quite a few famous studios are releasing new games at this year's summer festival." Hinata Kaho nodded and said, "You'll definitely be going too, right, Manager?"

“Of course, how could I miss such a grand event? So many limited edition items are waiting for me,” Dino said excitedly.

"Where are Ma Dongsang and Dongjun?"

"Hmm... I should probably go," Hoshikawa Mado pondered. Hoshikawa Mado and Tsuchimikado Fuyu were in similar situations; they were interested in otaku culture, but it wasn't a necessity for them.

Chapter 374 My home is also in this building, do you believe it?

In the morning, at the Attribute Cafe.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu arrived at the café early and found a corner seat. While waiting for Eromanga Sensei to arrive, he kept typing on the keyboard.

Time is of the essence. If Tsuchimikado Fuyu doesn't hurry up and update the second volume, he might really have to experience the legendary "little dark room" that authors dread talking about this weekend.

"Teacher Tianyu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Not long after, Teacher Eromanga came over carrying a handbag.

"It's not time yet, you're early," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu absolutely cannot offend this future mother-in-law. Even if he is late for a whole day, Tsuchimikado Fuyu will not say anything.

"Oh my, Teacher Tianyu is so gentle, it seems like many girls at school must like him," Teacher Eromanga said with a smile.

"I don't know, since no one has confessed to me, how would I know if anyone likes me?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu shook his head and said.

Although he has many close female friends, Tsuchimikado Fuyu doesn't have the misconception that "they like me just because they're close to me."

I've experienced enough instances of good friends becoming male best friends in my past lives.

As for now, even though they are anime characters and he is very familiar with them, he is not so narcissistic as to expect girls to throw themselves at him without any deliberate effort.

"That's where you're wrong, Teacher Tianyu. Boys need to be more proactive. Otherwise, many girls will be too shy or afraid of being rejected to confess their feelings."

"Um... well, let's look at the artwork first." Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer and quickly changed the subject.

After receiving the drawing, Tsuchimikado Fuyu began to look at it seriously, while Eromanga ordered a coffee and waited quietly beside him.

It has to be said that the artist's skill is truly remarkable. Although the art style leans towards cuteness, it vividly portrays the majesty of the dragon, and the main character's appearance is even better than yesterday.

Without altering the image of the protagonist from the first volume, the art style is softened, and much of the protagonist's fierce appearance has disappeared.

"I'm very satisfied with this illustration, but there are two things I've decided can be changed."

The first is the weapon used by the protagonist. He doesn't use a greatsword, but a black ruler.

The protagonist of the first volume did not obtain his own exclusive weapon. I forgot to mention yesterday that he obtained it in the dragon's cave after becoming a dragon knight.

This ruler is very heavy, and carrying it on his back can help him strengthen his physique, so we can add a new illustration here showing the protagonist struggling to lift the giant ruler.

The second point is that the protagonist's expression shouldn't be one of fear, but rather excitement and exhilaration—not in a lewd way. This is something to pay special attention to.

"The second one is easy to fix, but how do you make a weapon out of a ruler? Do you hit people with a ruler?" The lady looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with a bewildered expression and asked.

"Excuse me, do you have a pen?"

"I brought it," the lady said, taking a pencil out of her bag and handing it to Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

Based on Xiao Yan's weapon from the Battle Through the Heavens manga in his previous life, Tsuchimikado Fuyu drew a simple outline: "It's roughly like this, with the main body being black or brown. I'll have to trouble you with the specific details, teacher."

Actually, this weapon doesn't need to be a direct copy of Battle Through the Heavens. After all, it's been modified to be completely different, so there's no need to dwell on the weapon itself.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu suddenly had a whimsical idea: all the fantasy light novels these days feature the same knight swords and samurai swords, with only minor variations in appearance, lacking any originality. His protagonist, on the other hand, using a ruler would seem more unconventional.

In any case, in a world where weapons don't have overpowered abilities, the type of weapon won't affect the description of the battle.

Furthermore, the ruler is not significantly different from the greatsword in terms of fighting, and it will not negatively affect the protagonist's image.

"Is that so? Teacher Tianyu has quite the imagination." The lady nodded seriously and said.

"Then, please take care of me from now on." Tsuchimikado Fuyu stood up and bowed.

Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't particularly like this kind of etiquette, he felt he still had to make a good impression on his future mother-in-law.

Otherwise, how could she feel at ease letting her daughter become his wife... no, his sister!

“Teacher Tianyu is the one, please give me your guidance,” the lady replied in return.

After they finished talking, they both started packing their things to go home.

Today, Tsuchimikado Fuyu isn't going to wait for everyone to get off work and chat at the store anymore. After all, you can chat anytime, but I don't have that much time to waste.

Having already wasted an afternoon and evening yesterday, Tsuchimikado Fuyu decided that he should just go home and get back to writing.

However, when the two were on their way home, they discovered that... they had taken the same route home.

"Um, Mr. Tianyu, is your house facing this direction too?" As they walked, the lady looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu beside her and asked cautiously.

"Although I think you might have misunderstood something, my home is indeed in this direction," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, shrugging helplessly.

"I didn't misunderstand, please don't mind, I was just curious," the wife said awkwardly, blushing suddenly.

"That's normal. After all, it's not unusual for a guy you don't know to suddenly walk with you. It's easy to be misunderstood," Tsuchimikado Fuyu sighed.

Then, in order to clear up his wife's misunderstanding, Tsuchimikado Fuyu roughly explained the location of his house.

Of course, the exact location won't be revealed; only the general street will be mentioned. It's not a matter of being cautious or not, but rather that suddenly telling a girl you don't know your address might lead to further misunderstandings.

“No way, I’m on that street too,” Professor Eromanga said in surprise.

"Damn it, I feel like I'm even more confused now. I should have stayed in the shop a little longer." Tsuchimikado Fuyu sighed, suddenly feeling like he had been following her.

However, he didn't expect that his house and his wife's house were so close. How come he had never seen them before?

“It’s alright, I trust Master Tianyu,” the lady said with a smile.

Then, in a somewhat awkward atmosphere, the two arrived together at the foot of a building.

"Um, would you believe me if I said my home is in this building too?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at his wife, whose face was getting redder and redder and whose eyes were getting more and more wary, and said helplessly, "It's true, my home is on the third floor. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself."

To convince his wife, Tsuchimikado Fuyu took her to the third floor and unlocked his own door with a key. "Now you should believe me, right? I've lived here since I was a child."

"What a coincidence! We've been neighbors for two or three years, and I have absolutely no recollection of you, teacher?" the wife said helplessly.

It turns out that the lady's family lived downstairs, directly below the Tsuchimikado Fuyu family's house.

Most importantly, she moved here with Sagiri after her divorce two or three years ago, but because they are both homebodies and don't like visiting neighbors, they have never met.

Even though Sagiri hasn't become a shut-in yet and goes to school every day, they basically haven't seen each other because of their different travel times.

Of course, he might have seen her, but because Tsuchimikado Fuyu hadn't regained his memories before, he didn't pay attention to her even if he had seen her, so he forgot about her.

Chapter 375 Awakening of All Members

Boom boom boom!

"coming."

dong dong dong, dong dong dong!

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

Thump thump thump thump thump thump!

"I told you I'm here, what's the rush?" Tsuchimikado Touu put down his computer impatiently and strode toward the door, where urgent knocking continued.

The door opened, and there stood Machida Wanko, her face grim as she stared intently at Tsuchimikado Fuyu. "Tenyu-sensei, were you not planning to open the door just now?"

"How could that be? I was just walking a little slower." Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who had been furious, immediately changed his expression and quickly explained with a fawning smile.

"Okay, then bring the manuscript over." Machida Wanko said as she walked into the room and sat on the sofa.

"There's still one day left, I'll give it to you this afternoon," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said.

“The time is up. Didn’t you say the day before yesterday that you were almost finished writing? Is this what you call almost finished?” Machida Wanko said with a dark face.

"It's finished writing, but it's still being revised. After all, it's not appropriate to submit the first draft directly. What if the quality is affected because it's too rushed?"

"It's okay, as long as you finish writing, our editorial department will help you find the problems."

"No, this is just a first draft. There are many things that need to be revised. Your ideas are different from mine, so it may not be suitable. Besides, it's just a revision. It will take at most one day. I can definitely finish revising it today."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu wasn't lying; the first draft was indeed finished, and it even included the scene of encountering the elf princess.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was quite aware of his own abilities. If he submitted this first draft, Machida Wanko would definitely suspect that he was just fooling her.

After all, without the book's revisions, Tsuchimikado Fuyu's version is truly unreadable.

It was riddled with grammatical errors and typos, and there were definitely many problems with the plot. So, after finishing it last night, he handed it over to the author, and just as he received the revision suggestions today and was about to make changes, Machida Wanzi arrived.

"Really?" Machida Wanko asked, frowning.
