Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

"Hmph! Whatever, you have a key to my room anyway, and I can't stop you."

Black Cat had already said so much, how could he not understand what she meant? She was just too proud to admit it, so she was just hinting at it.

"OK, I understand." Tsuchimikado Fuyu kissed the black cat on the cheek, then picked her up and carried her downstairs.

The male crab stared dumbfounded at the three boxes in front of him, speechless. "You guys can be all lovey-dovey, but couldn't you at least bring your stuff? What's with dumping it on me?"

However, she only complained for a moment, and then helplessly carried the three boxes downstairs one by one.

As one of the girls who gets to dominate Tsuchimikado Fuyu at night, Crab King, under Raphiel's "tutelage," naturally knows that he should also take care of the other girls' feelings during the day.

So she wouldn't complain about Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Kuroneko's behavior, but she would still make sarcastic remarks.

Breakfast today was made by Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Kuroneko. Since they got up so early, they didn't want to trouble others, so they simply toasted a few slices of bread, added milk and fried eggs, and a quick and easy breakfast was ready.

After breakfast, the three of them took their luggage and got into the car that was already waiting outside, heading to the station.

Upon arriving at the station, the middle-aged driver helped them unload their luggage. Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, "Thank you for your hard work. You should go back and catch up on your sleep."

"It's not hard work at all, the job is very easy now," the driver said with a smile.

This isn't flattery or anything; these are his honest thoughts.

He was Kyoko Kurahashi's driver and bodyguard. In the past, it was common for him to travel around with Kyoko Kurahashi.

However, ever since Kyoko Kurahashi moved to Fuyutsu Tsuchimikado's house, her bodyguards have been reduced to only him, the best driver, and one other person.

They no longer need to protect Kyoko Kurahashi all the time. She usually rests and exercises at home, and only calls them occasionally when she needs a car.

Their work is now so much easier than before, but their wages haven't been reduced at all, so how could they possibly be working hard?

……

When Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the other two arrived at the station, Machida Wanko and Toki Kenjiro were already waiting for the others not far away.

Upon seeing Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others, Machida Wanko quickly waved and called out, "Tenyu-sensei, over here!"

"Good morning, Machida editor and Toki editor. Are you two leading the team this time?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked curiously.

"Good morning, Teacher Tianyu, Teacher Heimao, and Teacher Ke'er." Machida Wanzi and the others greeted each other. "This time, Jianjian and I will be leading the team. We will keep a close eye on you this time."

"Come on, didn't you say you weren't out to play today?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu scratched his head and said. He only agreed because Machida Wanko told him that he was out to relax and have fun. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come out at all.

After all, it's already mid-month, and I have more than ten days left before I have to submit my manuscript, but I haven't written a single word yet.

Kuroko has finished the first draft, but there are still many things that need to be revised. In addition, her light novel has already reached the fifth volume, and according to the outline, it should be completed in two or three more volumes.

I have to admit, I've been really lazy. Before I knew it, the black cat's speed had almost caught up with mine, and I've only written up to the sixth volume.

Crab Man doesn't need to rush. Her new book, "Golden Season," was only released at the beginning of this month. She writes one short story per quarter, so she's really out having fun today.

"There is definitely some fun involved, but that's not the purpose of today's event. The purpose of this activity is to gather inspiration and hold a seminar!"

"Speaking of which, the deadline is at the end of the month, and I'm no longer worried, Black Cat Teacher. But as for you, Tianyu Teacher... you haven't written a single word yet, have you?"

"Who...who said that? The title was still written." Tsuchimikado Fuyu said somewhat awkwardly.

Machida Wanko and Toki Kenjiro looked at him with an "I knew it" expression. Sure enough, there weren't many easy-going light novel authors among them.

Chapter 1121 The Old Thief of Heavenly Revelation, That Damn Popular Person

"Good morning, Teacher Tianyu, Teacher Black Cat, Teacher Ke'er."

"Good morning."

"..."

Outside Chiba Station, a group of light novel authors arrived one after another, but Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't know many of them. Among the people he knew, only Hashima Itsuki and Fuwa Haruto were there.

Not long after, Kirino Kousaka walked over from a distance, pulling a pink suitcase. When she saw Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others standing together chatting and laughing, she pouted but eventually walked over to them.

After all, among this group of writers, she only talked to Tsuchimikado and the others. If she didn't talk to them, was she supposed to talk to that group of adults?

This author field trip involved a total of thirty to forty people. Apart from the two editors who led the group, Machida Wanko and Toki Kenjiro, the rest were all bestselling light novel authors under the paperback publisher.

As for those unsellable, flopping authors, the paperback won't waste money inviting them. The people invited today are the backbone and pillars of the paperback; they are the paperback's cash cows. As for those flops, who cares about their fate?

As for what to do after they become famous? We can just invite them again for similar events in the future.

After all, Japan is a capitalist society. If you can't generate profits for capital, who will care about you?

……

"The light novel series featuring Kuroneko-sensei and Rino-sensei should be coming to an end soon, right? I feel like their storylines are already in the second half."

On the other side of Tsuchimikado Fuyu's little circle, Fuwa Haruto looked at Kousaka Kirino and Kuroneko and asked.

"Yeah, about that, there are about two or three more volumes left," the black cat nodded and said.

"I have one more volume," Kirino Kousaka said. "However, I haven't figured out the ending yet. I have too many ideas, and I'm a bit conflicted."

"These things can't be rushed; the outcome is indeed very important," Fuwa Haruto said with a smile. "Where's Kuroneko-sensei?"

"It will be completed smoothly," the black cat said calmly.

Compared to Kirino Kousaka's impulsive writing style that simply copied the formula of galga games, I was taught a lesson by Touya Tsuchimikado countless times before writing this book.

The outline has already been clearly defined, so there's no need to worry about not being able to come up with a plot.

Even with Tsuchimikado Tou's guidance, I'm writing more and more smoothly now, and the number of times Tsuchimikado Tou asks me to revise is gradually decreasing, which shows that I'm constantly improving.

Just as everyone was discussing each other's plots, the writers gradually arrived. Xia Feifei also arrived at about the same time as Yamada Fairy, just as they were about to board the bus.

"Good morning, senior." Tsuchimikado Fuyu greeted her with a smile.

"Hmm, good morning, you scumbag." Xia Feifei yawned, sporting dark circles under her eyes.

"The latest you've stayed up?"

"Hmm, I haven't had any ideas for the new book, and I'm having trouble sleeping. Scumbag, can I borrow your shoulder for a bit?" Xia Feifei nodded and then leaned on Tsuchimikado Fuyu's shoulder.

Under the envious gazes of many male writers, Tsuchimikado Tou sighed and patted Kasumi's chubby arm, waking her up and saying, "Senior, we're about to leave. Go back to sleep on the train."

Xia Feifei gave a soft "hmm" and continued to cling to his arm, it was unclear whether she had actually heard him.

"Hey, damn it, are you looking down on me? I greeted you and you ignored me, are you provoking me?" Just then, Yamada Elf stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with displeasure.

"No, what brings you here?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, looking at her with a dark expression. "You're not from our paperback, are you?"

"Hmph, I am the bestselling genius beautiful girl author, the savior of the future light novel world, Yamada Fairy. Your editors must be begging me to explain my writing philosophy to you on their knees."

Unfortunately, no one believed her, especially Tsuchimikado Fuyu's disdainful look, which made Yamada Elf so angry that she wanted to jump up and smash his knees.

Just then, Machida Wanko came from behind her and sighed, "Yamada Elf-sensei called and begged me to let her participate, saying it was for her lifelong happiness or something, pfft."

At this point, Machida Wanko glanced at Yamada Elf's figure with disdain, "An elementary school student talking about lifelong happiness is hilarious."

Machida Wanko isn't usually this sharp-tongued, but she's not going to tolerate Yamada Elf, this shameless guy who's definitely not one of her own.

Yamada Fairy glared at her fiercely and said, "It's clearly an exchange, an exchange, okay? I clearly said I could provide the venue for this event."

"Yamada Elf-sensei, it's late winter or early spring. Only an idiot would go to a small island to gather inspiration. What could you possibly do there at this time of year?"

"Hmph!" Yamada Elf snorted coldly and ignored her.

What's so great about it! I wouldn't have bothered coming if he hadn't insisted on participating.

Just as Yamada Elf was feeling smug, she suddenly felt a hand cover her head. She looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with a bewildered expression, her face instantly turning hot, and asked in a panic, "What... what do you want to do?"

"Alright, stop fooling around. Since you're here, have fun. Don't be arrogant. I've already told you you're not suited to being arrogant."

"Editor Machida, isn't it time to leave?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu rubbed Yamada Elf's head and then looked at Machida Wanko and asked.

"Yes, the bus has arrived. Let's go." Machida Wanko said with a smile as she looked at the bus parked in front of them.

Today's destination is Mount Fuji, which isn't too far from Chiba and has beautiful scenery. One bus was just enough to fit everyone.

Soon, everyone put away their luggage and boarded the bus. Just as Tsuchimikado Fuyu was about to find a seat, he suddenly noticed four pairs of eyes staring intently at him.

"...E, what's the matter?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked, feigning ignorance.

"I want to sit with you, senior," said Crab King, clinging to Tsuchimikado Fuyu's arm.

“I don’t think so,” the black cat said calmly. “Ke’er, you’ve been monopolizing Dongjun for a while now. You monopolized him all night last night, so it’s my turn today.”

The black cat's words not only stunned Kasumi and Yamada, but also made Fuwa Haruto and the other two, who had just gotten into the car, look at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with envy.

Ugh! You old scoundrel from Revelation Online, that damned social butterfly!

Having a cute black cat teacher is already enviable enough, but now he's actually sleeping with Teacher Ke'er with the black cat teacher knowing! And judging from the black cat teacher's attitude, he's not even angry!

Damn it, why can't we have such good things happen to us!

Yamada Elf stared at the two of them, her face flushed, and after a long pause, finally managed to utter a single word: "hentai!"

Chapter 1122 The On-Time Submission Faction and the Off-Time Submission Faction

"...Hey, that's slander! This is normal behavior between boyfriends and girlfriends, okay? What do you know, you little kid?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said to Yamada Elf, annoyed.

"Huh? Are you looking down on me? What do you mean I know nothing? I know everything, okay? It's just that kind of H stuff! Don't treat me like a child." Yamada Fairy shouted unhappily.

“Yes, yes, you’re loud, so you’re right. Don’t block the way here. There are other people who need to get on the bus. Black Cat, Crab King, let’s sit in the very back.” Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, walking directly to the middle of the last row of five seats.

Although sitting in the last row is not very comfortable, it is the best choice to avoid a chaotic situation and to prevent them from saying anything outrageous again.

Immediately afterwards, the black cat and the crab man sat on either side of her, then the Yamada fairy sat next to the black cat, and the chubby girl sat next to the crab man, and the five of them filled the last row.

The light novel authors who boarded the train later were extremely envious when they saw this.

Damn it, I really want to sit in the last row and be surrounded by beautiful girls!

……

The writers' field trip lasted a day and a half in total.

We depart at 7:00 AM on Saturday and finish around noon on the weekend.

The main locations for the activities are Oshino Hakkai, Lake Kawaguchi and their surrounding areas.

In the morning, everyone sightseeed, chatted, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery at Oshino Hakkai. Then, they had lunch at Oshino Hakkai, and in the afternoon, they held a workshop on their artwork by Lake Kawaguchi.

As for the evening, although we were free to do our own things, we mostly just wandered around the hot spring hotel area.

Because the editors will have a good chat with those "problem writers" and urge them to finish their manuscripts, which is the ultimate goal of this event!

As for the second morning, everyone was free to do their own thing again. This time, everyone could go wherever they wanted, and they didn't have to go back with everyone, but they had to inform the editor first.

Those who were to return with everyone else would meet at the hotel entrance after 2 PM.
