Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

As expected, Tsuchimikado Fuyu did not disappoint her, and even became more "excellent".

Not only did he not read the precautions, but he also forgot things that had been reminded to him over the phone.

If I hadn't made this special trip today, Tsuchimikado Fuyu might have arrived right on time and there wouldn't have been time for rehearsal.

Although it's not a big deal if you don't rehearse for these kinds of events, since authors usually prepare in advance when they're going to give a speech, and even if an author doesn't prepare, the editorial department will provide them with a copy just in case.

However, if the author doesn't rehearse or is unfamiliar with the process, various mistakes may occur. If these small mistakes ruin the fan meeting, it will not only affect the author, but also the editorial department.

"By the way, aren't we leaving yet?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu, seeing that Machida Wanko didn't seem to be planning to leave, suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are we waiting for Eromanga-sensei?"

“Yes, but she’s already here.” Machida Wanko said, looking at the two figures, one large and one small, appearing at the top of the stairs in the distance.

At that moment, Tsuchimikado Fuyu turned his head and saw Eromanga-sensei leading a little girl who looked a lot like him over.

The little girl was dressed in an adorable dress, looking like a porcelain doll, but her expression seemed a bit impatient.

"Good morning, Ms. Machida and Mr. Tenyu," Mr. Eromanga greeted them.

“Good morning, Eromanga teacher,” Machida Wanko and Tsuchimikado Fuyu responded.

"Is this your daughter?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked with a smile.

“Yes, this is my daughter, Sagiri Aragaki,” Mrs. Eromanga said.

It really is Sagiri in the Tsuchimikado Fuyu secret passage. Sagiri was so cute when she was little, just as cute as Kanna.

In particular, their hair is both white hair with a gradient of purple, except that Connor's gradient is darker than Sagiri's. If you didn't know better, you might think they were sisters.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu noticed Sagiri's surname, Aragaki.

Although it's unclear whether this surname is the wife's original surname or Sagiri's biological father's surname, it reminded Tsuchimikado Fuyu of another person, Aragaki Ayase, and it's unknown whether they are related.

However, it shouldn't be related. Although it's easy to make connections between the two sides having the same surname and being from Chiba, Chiba is such a big place that not everyone with the same surname is from the same family. It's probably not that much of a coincidence.

"Hello, Sagiri-chan, I'm Tsuchimikado Fuyu." Tsuchimikado Fuyu greeted him with a smile.

"Y-you...hello." Sagiri said shyly, then hid behind the lady in embarrassment, secretly looking at Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Sagiri with a puzzled expression. Was Sagiri really that shy now?

"Sagiri is a bit introverted, so she was a little rude. But she likes you a lot," the lady explained with a smile.

"Mom." Sagiri shyly grabbed her mother's skirt and hid even more tightly behind her.

"It's okay, Sagiri is very cute. I've always wanted a cute little sister like Sagiri-chan, but unfortunately..." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, feigning sadness, "Ah, sorry, I'm being nosy."

"Teacher Tianyu, you've had it tough too," the lady said, shaking her head.

She knew a little about Tsuchimikado Fuyu's situation and that her parents had died early, so she didn't say much. Instead, she felt that Tsuchimikado Fuyu really wanted a younger sister like Sagiri.

She is quite confident in how cute her daughter is.

"But I'm very grateful for Sagiri-chan's affection," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile, changing the subject.

"I...I don't like it that much," Sagiri said softly, blushing.

Hearing Sagiri's embarrassed words, everyone laughed. Machida Wanko said, "Alright, Eromanga-sensei, Revelation-sensei, let's go."

Chapter 410 Sagiri: The Liar

Along the way, everyone was able to chat, and even Sagiri would occasionally blush and whisper a few words.

Soon, the group arrived at the fan meeting venue, where fans were already lining up outside.

However, Tsuchimikado and his group did not walk directly in from the outside. Instead, they drove to the basement and took the elevator from the basement directly into the backstage area of ​​the venue.

At this moment, many employees were setting up the venue.

Promotional posters for "Battle Through the Heavens" and illustrations from the novel were displayed on the walls on both sides of the venue.

Behind the stage was a large screen where staff were setting up computers and sound systems. The screen was showing the history of the development of Battle Through the Heavens.

However, since Battle Through the Heavens has only been released for two months, and Tsuchimikado Tou has only released this one book and has nothing else to boast about, the only way to make the video longer is to loop the illustrations from Battle Through the Heavens.

Next, Machida Wanko entered the venue, spoke a few words to the man who was constantly directing in the center of the venue, and then brought in Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others, explaining the day's agenda and asking them about their speeches.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't prepare a speech, but he knew what to say, so he didn't ask the editorial department to prepare one.

After all, this kind of speech is nothing more than thanking the readers for their support, which led to his achievements today, then sharing his thoughts, and finally summarizing that he will continue to work hard and present more exciting stories to everyone.

After explaining everything, Machida Wanko told Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others to do as they pleased, but advised them to return backstage before the fans came in.

After all, when the fans come in, the first thing they hear is the host from the editorial department giving a speech, introducing their editorial department and company, and then thanking everyone for attending the Battle Through the Heavens fan meeting, and so on.

If Tsuchimikado and the others were down there at a time like this, the fans would all be chatting with the author, and the area below would be a noisy mess. Who would listen to the official statement then?

Even if Tsuchimikado Fuyu wasn't out there, not many people would want to listen to such official speeches.

After Machida Wanko left, Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know where to go for a moment. Mrs. Eromanga, who had attended several fan meetings like this, smiled and led Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Sagiri around the venue.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu also took the opportunity to chat with Sagiri from time to time. Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu did most of the talking, Sagiri would just shyly say "uh-huh" and that would be the end of it.

The wife smiled slightly at the interaction between the two.

Since her divorce from her husband, Sagiri has refused to go to school and has stayed at home all the time, not talking to anyone.

My wife is sometimes really worried that Sagiri might have social anxiety disorder or autism.

Now Tsuchimikado Fuyu is willing to chat with her. Although Sagiri is a little shy and doesn't talk much, it's good to have someone to talk to. It would be even better if it could make her willing to go back to school.

As for why Tsuchimikado Fuyu likes chatting with Sagiri so much, the lady just thinks that Tsuchimikado Fuyu really wants a little sister, after all, her own daughter is really cute!

Hmm, if Madam knew that this guy had designs on Sagiri, I wonder if she would kill him on the spot.

After wandering around for a while, the three returned backstage to wait for Machida Wanko to inform them about the rehearsal process.

The waiting process was a bit boring, and Tsuchimikado Fuyu couldn't think of anything to talk about. Sagiri wasn't very willing to chat either, so Tsuchimikado Fuyu took out a game console and prepared to play a game.

"Want to play?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu noticed that Sagiri was secretly watching him, so he handed the game console to Sagiri and asked.

Sagiri blushed and avoided Tsuchimikado Fuyu's gaze, "No...no, you...you play by yourself."

“I have another one here,” Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile, taking another game console out of his bag.

"Why did you bring two?" Sagiri asked curiously.

"I only planned to bring one, but when I packed it this morning, I forgot that I had already put one in last night," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

Of course, he was just kidding Sagiri. The reason he brought two people was because he was afraid it would be boring when they met, and he thought they could play games together online when Kuroneko arrived.

After all, he couldn't have predicted that his wife would bring Sagiri out, nor did he know that Sagiri was interested in games.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Sagiri is at a point where she's curious about these things. She can't say she likes them, but since she's never been exposed to them before, she's naturally curious.

In particular, during their conversation, Tsuchimikado Fuyu discovered that Sagiri and Izumi Masamune had no connection whatsoever, and Sagiri had never drawn any illustrations for him.

However, Sagiri still enjoys drawing, partly due to her wife's influence and partly because she wants to draw illustrations for Battle Through the Heavens.

That's right. It might be because of the butterfly effect that Sagiri fell in love with "Battle Through the Heavens". That's why the author brought Sagiri to the fan meeting today. Otherwise, even if the author insisted, Sagiri wouldn't have been allowed to go out.

When the wife said before that Sagiri liked Battle Through the Heavens, it was just a polite way of putting it; it was actually true.

Having confirmed this, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was overjoyed, as it would now be much easier to deepen his relationship with Sagiri Tadami.

It's okay that Sagiri is too shy to talk right now. As long as I'm willing to work hard, I'll make Sagiri like me sooner or later.

Well... although the scope is a bit wide, that's roughly the idea. After all, that's the ultimate goal, so there's nothing wrong with it.

"Then I'll reluctantly give it a try." Sagiri carefully took the game console, as if afraid of touching Tsuchimikado Fuyu's hand.

However, despite saying that, Sagiri had never actually played games before. She stared blankly at the game console and looked to her wife for help.

The woman chuckled, then shrugged helplessly and said, "Sorry, Sagiri. I've never played video games before."

"Liar." Sagiri rolled her eyes at the lady, ruthlessly exposing her lie.

The lady wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, she looked at Sagiri with a smile and said, "Let Teacher Tenyu teach you."

“I’ll teach you,” Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu said.

"No... no need."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't force her to help, but instead watched with a smile as Sagiri fiddled with the game console.

Sagiri carefully examined the game console, trying to find the power switch.

After finding it, she gently pressed a button, and the game console immediately lit up. Sagiri's face lit up with a joyful smile.

The game cartridges in Sagiri's game console are already installed, so you can play it right away after turning it on.

However, the two game consoles were equipped with a two-player cooperative game that required online play. After trying for a long time without success, Sagiri stared blankly at Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

"This requires an online connection. Wait a moment, I'll invite you," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

Chapter 411 Yamada Fairy: Was White Album his idea?

"Online? How are you going to play alone?" Sagiri asked Tsuchimikado Fuyu, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Silly girl, I brought other cards with me too." Tsuchimikado Fuyu took a game box out of his bag and shook it with a smile.

Sagiri pouted slightly, looking at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with a huff, like a hamster.

Is this person deliberately trying to make me look bad?

Seeing Sagiri's adorable appearance, Tsuchimikado Fuyu smiled even more and said, "So, are you planning to play a two-player game, or some other single-player game?"

"This one will do." After being teased by Tsuchimikado Fuyu, Sagiri wasn't so shy anymore and said softly.

Next, Tsuchimikado Fuyu began to teach Sagiri how to play the game step by step.

However, just as Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu had finished teaching Sagiri and was about to start playing properly, Machida Wanko informed Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu and Eromanga-sensei to attend a rehearsal.

The rehearsal didn't take long; it mainly involved going through the process once.

Soon, the rehearsal ended, and it was almost nine o'clock.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Eromanga-sensei walked backstage and saw Sagiri waiting at the door. They smiled and said, "Sagiri-chan, thank you for waiting."

Sagiri shook her head without saying anything and followed the two inside.

Sagiri was quite exasperated by Tsuchimikado Tou's overly familiar manner. Although she was indeed curious about the author of Battle Through the Heavens after reading the book, it didn't mean she was a fan of the author.

A book is a book, and an author is an author.

Sagiri is a fan of this book, but definitely not a fan of Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

However, after getting to know Tsuchimikado Fuyu, although she couldn't say she liked him, she found him quite interesting, as she had never met someone so outgoing before.
