Compared to Chen and Talulah, who are still pursuing power, the orca girl is quite content with her current life. After her last trip around the world's oceans, she stays at home every day, seemingly doing nothing.

Skadi scratched her head, paused, and said, "There are a lot of dangerous creatures in the seas of this world. It's not fun. It's better to stay home, watch TV, sunbathe, and sleep."

"Is that so?" Jiang Jing smiled as he looked at the white-haired girl who seemed to be developing into a homebody.

Just then, the music room next door opened, and the four girls who had finished recording music came out. Upon seeing Jiang Jing, Hirasawa Yui spoke first and greeted him warmly.

"Kanda-senpai, you're back from your trip! I heard from Kawaiusa-senpai that you went to visit ancient castles in Europe. Was it fun?"

The four girls had just finished practicing for half a day, and their faces were still covered in sweat. Unlike Skadi and Matou Sakura, who had experienced a lot, the four girls' faces were full of youthful vigor.

Jiang Jing smiled slightly: "It's alright, the castle there is quite spacious."

Because of the opening and ending songs of CL and many of the voiceovers in between, the four girls who often come here have become familiar with Jiang Jing and the others, and their conversations are not as formal as when they first met.

After finding seats, Ritsu Tainaka looked at Jiang Jing curiously: "Really? By the way, Kanda-senpai, what kind of novel are you planning to write next? Can you give us a hint?"

It's almost September now, and the three-volume series of Dragon and Tiger, plus the extras, have all been released in one month. Due to the rapid updates, the extensive promotion by the paperback publisher, and various other factors, it has set a record for the highest sales of a short-run novel.

"Yeah, senior, are you going to write another light novel set in a school setting next?" Akiyama Mio asked curiously, but compared to Hirasawa Yui and Tainaka Ritsu, she was a little reserved when talking to Jiang Jing.

In response to their questions, Jiang Jing smiled and said, "The novel? I've been busy with those animations lately, so I haven't had time to write it for now."

He used to write novels because he had just woken up and had no strength in his body. He wrote them to save trouble and because he was lazy, with the aim of easily making a little money. Now he doesn't care about those things anymore.

"I see." Hirasawa Yui said with some regret, but she also knew that what Jiang Jing said was true.

"Everyone, come and have some tea. I brought some snacks with me." At this moment, Kotobuki Tsumugi walked over with a large plate of tea and snacks, a happy smile on her face.

Hirasawa Yui's eyes lit up instantly: "Wow, today's snacks look delicious!"

"I want the apple flavor," Ritsuya Tainaka said excitedly.

"I want the blueberry flavor." The orca girl next to them spoke very familiarly, without any intention of being polite, obviously she had eaten a lot of it these past few days.

"What about you, Kanda-senpai?" Kotobuki Tsumugi asked, looking at Eijiro.

Seeing the scene turn into a tea party, especially the large plate of cakes and pastries on the coffee table, Jiang Jing blinked and said, "You guys choose first, I'm easy to choose."

"Oh right, and Shiina-senpai and the others too, I'll go tell them to come down and rest for a bit." At that moment, Hirasawa Yui raised her hand, then ran upstairs with the cake in her hand.

"Haha... junior, you're back."

As Kamiigusa Misaki's characteristic energetic voice rang out, she ran downstairs first, followed by Aoyama Nanami and then Shiina Mashiro and Matou Sakura.

Upon seeing Jiang Jing sitting on the sofa, Shiina Mashiro's eyes lit up slightly, while Matou Sakura beside her also showed a bright smile, her eyes sparkling.

Without any ceremony, Shangjingcao squeezed onto a sofa with Skadi, then picked up an ice cream cake from the table, scooped a spoonful, and put it in her mouth.

Wow, the cake I brought today tastes pretty good!

Looking at the group of beautiful girls in front of her, Kotobuki Tsumugi squinted her eyes with great joy and looked at Aoyama Nanami: "Nanami-senpai, which one would you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine with me," said Aoyama Nanami politely, sitting on a small single sofa next to the river view.

Fortunately, when Yuriko Uemura was in charge of the renovation, this rest area was furnished with many single and double sofas in addition to the three long sofas, otherwise there wouldn't be enough seats now.

"Then I'll have this pineapple flavor." Kotobuki Tsumugi held up a plate of delicate pastries with a piece of pineapple on top and handed it to Aoyama Nanami.

"Thank you."

After pouring the thanks, Aoyama Nanami, holding the cake, looked at Jiang Jing curiously and asked casually, "Kanda, is Gremory's family fun? I didn't expect them to be an old noble family with a castle in Europe."

"It's alright."

Jiang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Those castles aren't really anything special. Compared to the houses we live in now, they're just a bit bigger, have more servants, and host more banquets."

Aoyama Nanami and Hirasawa Yui, who were listening nearby, imagined it for a moment, and immediately a picture of a large villa-like castle and more than a dozen servants appeared in their minds.

Then, thinking he understood Jiang Jing's meaning, he nodded with an "I see" expression: "Oh, I see."

At this moment, Shiina Mashiro and Matou Sakura, who were walking slower, finally came over. Shiina Mashiro sat down directly next to Jiang Jing and looked at him, saying, "Sorata, we are preparing for the preliminary work of the EVA animation."

"And after CL and EVA are finished, I plan to create my own manga." After saying that, Shiina Mashiro looked at Jiang Jing with a calm gaze that hinted at anticipation, as if to say, "Quickly ask, quickly praise me."

"Are you guys managing to keep up with the workload? CL is one episode a week, Toradora! Volume 13 is still six volumes short, and EVA is one volume a month."

"And what kind of comic do you want to draw? Have you got any inspiration?" Jiang Jing looked at her strangely.

Shiina Mashiro said confidently, "I've already thought of a name for the new manga. It will be called 'The Manga Journey of a Superpowered Boy'."

"..." Just from the name Jiang Jing, you can tell that this so-called new comic must be based on her own experiences.

Misaki Kamiigusa, who was standing next to him, explained, "There wasn't enough time originally, but you don't know, Sakura is learning to draw so fast. She can keep up with our drawing speed now."

"So we've already invited Sakura-chan to join the Sakurasou Animation Club, that should be enough manpower, junior, you don't have any objections, right?"

“Sakura-chan, let’s draw.” Jiang Jing looked at the purple-haired girl who had sat down next to him, his gaze strange.

Sakura Matou smiled gently and looked at Jiang Jing, saying softly, "Yes, I heard about Misaki-senpai and the others when I was going through the transfer procedures. After reading CL's works, I really admire them."

"So that day, when I went to visit my seniors, they weren't there, so I asked Misaki-senpai and Mashiro-senpai for some advice. I found that drawing is very interesting and learned a little bit."

"Ahem... Is it interesting? If you like it, that's fine." Jiang Jing coughed twice, saying indifferently. He had already roughly guessed Matou Sakura's intentions.

However, when they saw Matou Sakura sitting next to Jiang Jing, Shiina Mashiro and Aoyama Nanami's eyes both flickered.

Looking at Kamiigusa Mashiro and the others, Akiyama Mio said with great admiration, "You seniors are so amazing. You can make animations, write novels, draw comics and create all kinds of works."

Hirasawa Yui and Tainaka Ritsu nodded quickly, looking at them with admiration: "Yes, yes, I watch every episode of CL, as well as your novels and EVA manga."

Being praised and looked at with such admiration, Misaki Kamiigusa laughed heartily, while Mashiro Shiina just blinked, and only Nanami Aoyama said modestly.

"There, Mio, your music is really good too. Not to mention the compositions your junior wrote, the two songs you wrote for the freshman welcome party are really good."

Chapter 353 Kato Megumi who came to freeload, and Hiratsuka Shizuka who threatened to jump off a building.

Looking at the four members of K-On!, Jiang Jing chuckled and said, "Actually, creating things is very simple. Most of the inspiration comes from reality. You can create your own comics or animations."

"us……"

Hirasawa Yui blinked, then waved to Jiang Jing and said with a silly smile, "Senior, please don't try to comfort us. I've only just learned to play the guitar. The lyrics and songs for the welcome party were written by Mio and ??

Jiang Jing looked at them with a strange gaze and said with a smile, "This is really not difficult. Creating comics is also very simple. For example, Mashiro can create a comic about Sakura-sou or Plum Blossom-sou based on the daily life of Sakura-sou."

"As for you guys, your club is called the Light Music Club, right? You can choose one of the four of you to be the main character, and the other three to be supporting characters. Then write down all the interesting things that happened since you started high school and create a manga called K-On!"

“That works too.” Akiyama Mio and Hirasawa Yui were taken aback, while Kotobuki Tsumugi’s eyes lit up, revealing an excited and ardent gaze, clearly very interested.

Not only them, but even Shiina Mashiro and Matou Sakura were surprised. Even Skadi, who had been eating in silence, looked up curiously.

"Why not?" Jiang Jing asked with a smile.

"If you create your work primarily from Wei's perspective, you could imagine that on her first day of school, she misread the time, thought she was late, and hurriedly ran to school."

"Then on the way, I passed by Kotobuki, who was also getting off the train to school, and Tai and Mio, who got up early to go to school together. Then I ran to school and realized that I was too early."

"Huh...? Senior, how did you know I misread the alarm clock on my first day of school and thought I was late?" Hirasawa Yuichi was stunned.

"I guessed," Jiang Jing said with a smile.

…………

At the main entrance of the association headquarters, Kato Megumi, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Yukino Yukinoshita, who had just returned from their duty reports, walked out looking travel-worn.

Looking at the familiar sun in the sky, Yukino Yukinoshita, whose brows had matured somewhat, had a slightly unfocused gaze and said softly, "More than a year has passed over there, while it's only been a little over a month in our world. The world outside is truly amazing."

Reflecting on what she had witnessed over the past year, and those breathtaking battles between gods and demons, the mature and composed Yukino Yukinoshita also felt a sense of emotion.

"Yes, I never imagined that hell was even more terrifying than the myths and legends. Those armies of demons even tore apart and devoured otherworldly gods, and those Yama Lords whose true forms reached the heavens and stood tall—they were too powerful..."

When Esdeath first joined the association, they were shocked by what she told them, but it was nothing compared to the shock of this scene where the billion-strong army of demons tore apart the gods of another world.

With the help of a year of training and good fortune, all three of them experienced a significant leap in strength. Kato Megumi broke through to the late stage of the fourth star, while the Yukinoshita sisters also crossed levels to break through to the early stage of the third star, becoming quite skilled. Their improvement speed was astonishing.

However, they all knew very well why they were able to easily obtain the status of expedition supervisors this time, so Kato Megumi, who had no presence at all, spoke up.

"Now that I'm back, I'm planning to pay a visit to Kanda-senpai. What about you?"

Yukinoshita tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled slightly: "We were planning to do that too. It's been over a year since we last saw Kanda-kun. Captain, let's go together."

"I heard that Kanda-kun likes to cook, so I specially collected some top-quality ingredients from another world and put them in my storage ring. I hope Kanda-kun will like them."

Kato Megumi's eyes flickered slightly, and she said in surprise, "Yono, you also know that Kanda-senpai likes to cook? What a coincidence, I also prepared meat from the Silver Mountain White Feather Snow Eagle, which is said to be the world's top-grade ingredient."

At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita, who was standing to the side, looked a little strange, which caught the attention of Megumi Kato. She tentatively asked, "Yukino, did you also bring ingredients as a gift?"

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded somewhat awkwardly: "Yes, Kanda-senpai has been very kind to us sisters, but as a senior, he wouldn't normally accept gifts, so..."

The three of them fell silent immediately.

After all, it's novel for one person to deliver groceries, but if three people deliver groceries, Jiang Jing might not feel anything, but the other women would definitely feel very awkward.

"cough……"

Yukinoshita cleared her throat to break the silence and suggested, "Since our gifts are the same, I think we should put them together with the captain and give them to Kanda-kun together later."

This was a good suggestion; it avoided awkwardness for the three of them and showed their sincerity, so Kato Megumi did not refuse: "Yono's suggestion is good."

However, when the three of them arrived at the gate of Sakura-sou and rang the doorbell, and then heard footsteps inside, they were somewhat excited to see the river view that had been open for so long, but they were stunned.

Behind Jiang Jing, besides Shiina Mashiro, Kamiigusa Misaki, and Aoyama Nanami, there were six other beautiful but unfamiliar girls watching them curiously.

"Oh, it's Kato and Yukino. You're back." Jiang Jing smiled slightly.

Kato Megumi snapped out of her daze, bowed respectfully, and said, "Yes, senior. We returned at noon today and just finished the remaining procedures at the association."

"We had heard that you enjoyed cooking, so we brought back some unusual ingredients as a gift to express our gratitude for your continued care."

After Kato Megumi finished speaking, Yukinoshita Haruno, who was behind her, stepped forward slightly, smiled generously and exuded a ladylike temperament, and handed over the several large boxes in her hands.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation; I hope you won't find it offensive, senior."

To avoid surprising ordinary people like Misaki Kamiigusa, they specially packed the food from their storage rings into several boxes.

Jiang Jing glanced at the three of them, then nodded and smiled, reaching out to take the three boxes, each weighing over a hundred pounds: "Oh, that's thoughtful of you. Come on in."

"There's a lot of stuff here, so let's all stay for dinner tonight."

"Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is Yui Hirasawa..."

After Jiang Jing introduced Kato Megumi and the others, whom she didn't know, Hirasawa Yui's eyes lit up. Looking at Jiang Jing, who had already come behind the kitchen counter, she excitedly said, "Kanda-senpai, you can cook too!"

"Haha... Yui, you guys don't know this, do you? Junior can do more than just cook. You'll find out soon enough." Misaki Kamiigusa patted Yui Hirasawa's shoulder mysteriously.

At this moment, Jiang Jing opened a box that was emitting a faint chill and took out a pair of shark fins that were more than half a meter long: "Senior, why don't you go and call Chotto and the others from next door over as well? It'll be more lively with more people."

"Okay, junior..."
