Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

Although she and Kirino Kousaka often argue, their relationship only gets better with each argument, so she cares about her quite a bit. Seeing her come alone, she was a little worried about her.

“Kousaka-san definitely can’t come, but Kirino should have her editor with her, so don’t worry,” Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

That's right. Although Black Cat and her team haven't signed contracts yet, they do have editors.

Whether it's someone like Kuroko who came to them on their own and was invited to participate in a newcomer award, someone who submitted their work independently, or someone like Kirino Kousaka who posted online and was noticed by an editor and invited to publish, they all have their own editors.

It's just that because they haven't signed contracts yet, the editors only know them. Only when Black Cat and the other two are confirmed to be published will their editors treat them as one of their own.

"Hmm." The black cat nodded. She hadn't known that Kirino was there. To be precise, she didn't even know that Kirino was participating in the Newcomer Award, so she hadn't noticed.

I'll go talk to her later, but her expression will be quite interesting if she sees that I'm also on stage receiving an award, and that I'm ranked higher than her!

Thinking about this, the black cat's mood gradually improved, and he became more and more looking forward to going on stage.

Chapter 850 Award Ceremony (Part 2)

The three subordinates exchanged a glance and simultaneously bowed their heads in response, "Hai!"

The next day, Huo Anlan woke up in the afternoon.

The golden sunset shone into the room through the large, transparent French windows. Huo Anlan threw off the covers and got up. As soon as her feet touched the soft carpet, she noticed something strange under her feet.

Looking down, she was astonished to see a path paved with rose petals stretching from under her bed to the outside.

There was also a small card on the bedside table.

"You're awake? Follow the rose petals out, there's a surprise."

"This guy, I don't know which girl taught him so many tricks, he didn't know any of these before."

With a soft hum, Huo Anlan said this, but her body still obediently followed the path of rose petals out.

In these top-tier luxury villas, the bedroom is simply a place to put a bed and sleep; the bathroom is just outside.

Following the path of rose petals, Huo Anlan saw all the toiletries on the washstand, as well as a complete set of exquisite jewelry, including earrings and a necklace, which were clearly very valuable.

With Huo Anlan's discerning eye, he could tell at a glance that this set of jewelry was made by a top master.

It's definitely not the kind of ordinary stuff you can buy anywhere in a store.

After washing up, Huo Anlan carefully and meticulously put on all the jewelry piece by piece.

At this moment, Huo Anlan looked at herself with satisfaction in front of the mirror, then turned and left the bathroom.

The path made of rose petals continues to extend, this time leading to the dressing room.

Following the path into the dressing room, Huo Anlan saw a long dress placed on the clothes rack in the center.

This long dress surprised and delighted Huo Anlan.

This dress was her own graduation design, which won her a gold medal and earned her a ticket to the Paris Fashion Week competition.

Huo Anlan didn't know how Li Jin got the dress, but that didn't stop her from being excited as she stood in front of it.

For any designer, being able to wear clothes they designed themselves is the most wonderful thing.

After changing into a long dress, the exquisitely tailored dress clung to Huo Anlan's body, perfectly outlining her graceful curves.

Emerging from the dressing room again, this time the path of rose petals was longer.

Following the path, Huo Anlan arrived at the restaurant.

A small dining table, just enough for a man and a woman to sit at a delicate distance that maintains a separation yet is also intimate.

Red wine, delicious food, and candles.

At that very moment, the electric curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows slowly closed.

The light in the room gradually dimmed.

But Huo Anlan did not feel panicked.

She was enjoying everything that Li Jin had prepared for her.

With a snap, the candlestick on the dining table seemed to spontaneously combust, its yellow flames flickering in the dim light.

Li Jin's face also appeared at the edge of the yellow halo.

With a smile, Li Jin walked up to Huo Anlan and raised one hand in a very gentlemanly invitation.

Huo Anlan chuckled softly and gently placed her hand on the back of Li Jin's hand.

With a smile on his face, Li Jin grasped Huo Anlan's slender, white, and rounded fingers with his other hand, and gently pulled the defenseless Huo Anlan into his arms.

Just then, a beautiful violin melody filled the dimly lit room.

To the rhythm of the music, Li Jin held Huo Anlan and danced gracefully.

"Thank you."

As she danced with practiced steps, Huo Anlan looked up at Li Jin's face, which was flickering in the lamplight, and said softly.

At this moment, she felt as if she were about to melt into a pool of spring water and disappear into Li Jin's body.

Li Jin looked down at Huo Anlan and said with a smile, "It is my honor to be able to create all of this for you."

"Have you always been this eloquent?" Huo Anlan asked.

"Even the most eloquent mouth needs to be paired with a willing-to-listen ear."

After Li Jin finished singing, he pulled out a chair, helped Huo Anlan sit down, and then sat down opposite Huo Anlan himself.

Chapter 851 White-haired fetish

After the awards ceremony ended, the banquet hall became lively again, with authors and editors moving around with wine or drinks, continuing to expand their social circles.

It's worth mentioning that, because many of the authors are minors, with almost a quarter under the age of 20, there is a special distribution point for the red wine in the banquet hall to prevent these "kids" from taking the opportunity to drink.

You can only take alcohol if you have the identification provided by the editor to prove you are an adult; otherwise, you can only take soft drinks.

However, perhaps considering the mindset of those rebellious students, and to avoid being perceived as being looked down upon by the editorial department, the drinks prepared were all grape juice, which looked similar in color to red wine.

Tsuchimikado and the others naturally took drinks, while only Itsuki and Hashima took red wine.

Yes, that's right. Itsuki Hashima and Izuki Hashima just turned 18 this year, and this is their first time drinking alcohol.

To be honest, seeing how cautious they were, Tsuchimikado Fuyu really wanted to laugh. Back when he was in elementary school, his grandfather had made him drink alcohol. Although it wasn't much, it was baijiu!

However, since that time he got drunk, Tsuchimikado Fuyu has rarely touched baijiu (Chinese liquor). When he goes out to parties, he only drinks a little beer, not much, and he has never gotten drunk again.

Actually, Tsuchimikado Fuyu is quite speechless about the Japanese definition of "adulthood".

You're only considered an adult and allowed to drink alcohol when you're 20, but you can get married at 17, and women can get married at 15—it's outrageous!

(Although it is said that Japanese laws regarding drinking and male marriage have now been amended to 18, the previous law is used here.)

In other words, all his girlfriends except for Black Cat are ready to get married, while he himself is still two years away from marriage...

Thinking of this, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was speechless with emotion!

It's unbearable to repair!

Getting married is fine, but I need to find a time to complete my "coming-of-age ceremony"!

I've had five girlfriends already, it's not right for me to stay a virgin forever!

Tsuchimikado Tou was lost in thought for a while when he was interrupted by the black cat, who tugged at his sleeve, reminding him that someone was coming.

At that moment, Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked up and saw that Kana Yuta had been brought over by her editor.

Oh? You're here to see Itsuki Hashima?

Looking at the still somewhat green and shy Nayuta Kana, and then at Itsuki Hashima chatting and laughing with Haruto Fuwa beside her, Tsuchimikado felt a little envious.

After all, writing a novel and getting a wife is something every author dreams of!

Yes, Izumi Masamune is the same as him.

However, Sagiri has already been led astray by him and hasn't read his books, so Izumi Masamune naturally can't do it either...

and many more……

Tsuchimikado Fuyu suddenly remembered that the guy didn't just attract Sagiri, there was also a girl named Senju Muramasa, and a childhood friend named Takasago Chie.

As for Yamada Elf, it wasn't because the other party's book attracted her, so it doesn't count for now.

Even so, he can still be considered a true role model for male authors!

On the other side, the black cat noticed that Tsuchimikado Fuyu was getting distracted again, and nudged his stomach with its elbow, somewhat speechless.

"What's wrong?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, somewhat bewildered, as he came to his senses.

"They're calling you!" the black cat said, rolling its eyes at him.

What's wrong with him today? He seems distracted.

Normally, he'd be incredibly enthusiastic if a pretty girl approached him, but why is he always so distracted these days?

If Tsuchimikado Fuyu knew what Kuroneko was thinking, he would definitely refute it, saying it's all a misunderstanding!

What do you mean by "extremely proactive"? He's clearly very aloof, okay? It's obviously the other person who's being too proactive; he's just being passive.

"Oh, oh, hello." Although Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know why the other party was looking for him instead of Hashima Itsuki, he had already been a bit rude, so he naturally had to greet them quickly.

“Hello, Tianyu-sensei, I am Kirara Yamagata, and I am Nayuta Kana’s editor,” Kirara Yamagata said with a bow.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked curiously.

Meanwhile, everyone else also turned their attention to this side. They all knew that Tsuchimikado Tou and Kuroneko were a couple, but they had never heard that he knew Kana Yuta!

And then there's Yamada Elf and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who are bickering with each other, and Kousaka Kirino, who's watching the show from the sidelines.

Itsuki Hashima and Haruto Fuwa both felt a pang of envy.

Goodness, the teacher of Revelation Online is way too popular with women!

Not only are all the top three winners of the Newcomer Award related, but they are also surrounded by beautiful girls, none of whom are unattractive. Among them are elementary school students, junior high school students, and high school students. It's like they don't discriminate between the good and the bad!

"Kanayuta-sensei needs to speak with you," Kirara Yamagata said calmly.

Seeing Kana Nayuta with her head down, seemingly a little shy, Tsuchimikado Fuyu suddenly had a premonition: Wait... what if I snatched Hashima Itsuki away?

But something's not right!

In the original drama, didn't she fall in love with Itsuki Hashima after reading his author's remarks?

But I've never written anything like that, nor have I ever had the chance to give her any motivational platitudes!
