I write novels in Liyue

"Ah."

Ying nodded, put "Eternal" aside, picked up "Your Lie in April," and turned to the first page.

Paimon, meanwhile, hovered behind her shoulder, his hands resting on Ying's shoulders, reading a book with her.

The title page reads: "The spring that brought us together has arrived."

The story begins on a spring evening.

"The book written by this girl named Fang Qiu is really good."

Paimon said.

"Yes, even Paimon can understand it."

Ying said.

"Hey! What do you mean by that? I'm very cultured. If I were to write seriously, I could write such excellent works too."

Paimon floated back a little distance, then stomped his foot and said in dissatisfaction.

"I didn't expect Paimon to be so amazing. Since Paimon is so amazing, he should write books to support himself from now on."

Ying said.

"Huh? Traveler, I was just kidding."

Paimon quickly flew to Luminous's side, rubbed Luminous's shoulder, and said.

"I was just kidding. I don't believe Paimon could write this well at all. It's already pretty good that you can understand it."

Ying said.

"Hmph! I'm angry."

Paimon stamped his foot and said.

"Then I'll turn the page."

As Ying spoke, she made a gesture as if to turn the page.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished reading it yet."

Paimon quickly flew to the book, stopped Ying from turning the pages, and then began to read the book seriously.

Ying just smiled and didn't stop Paimon's actions. Instead, she quietly waited to the side until Paimon finished reading the page before turning the page herself.

I read several pages in a row.

"By the way, Traveler, next time we go back to Liyue, let's pay a visit to that author named Fang Qiu?"

Paimon leaned back on Ying's shoulder and said.

"Ah."

Ying nodded.

Time passed slowly, and it grew increasingly late.

Let's stop here for today and see what happens tomorrow.

Paimon rubbed his sleepy eyes and said.

"Okay, Paimon, you should go to sleep first."

Ying nodded.

"I'm going to sleep now, but you're not allowed to peek behind me, okay?"

Paimon flew to the made-up bed, crawled directly into the covers, and closed his eyes with a blissful expression.

Ying originally wanted to continue reading, as the book's content was just too enticing.

She even developed a bit of curiosity about that Miss Fang Qiu.

I just thought that since I had promised Paimon, I could only postpone watching it for now.

She stretched, placed the bookmark between the pages, and then closed the book.

He then walked to the window and looked outside.

Naganohara Yomi-no-miya was downstairs, intently adjusting the fireworks.

Then, she turned her gaze to the distance.

The window of this room faces the house of the shrine attendant.

……

at this time.

On the terrace of the Kamisato family home.

Ayaka Kamisato sat gracefully at the desk, arranging flowers elegantly.

She is the eldest daughter of the Shinri family, a family that serves as a shrine maiden.

Every word and action represents the divine family.

Outwardly, one must be dignified and composed, and of noble character; inwardly, one must be refined and unconventional, and resilient and unyielding.

Therefore, flower arrangement, tea ceremony, swordsmanship, and calligraphy became her daily routine.

"All right."

Ayaka Kamisato let out a soft breath, looked at the results before her, and nodded in satisfaction.

In the elegant vase before me, two clusters of delicate white buds, about to bloom, stand quietly, set against the backdrop of other flowers and leaves.

Ayaka Kamisato let out a soft breath and turned to look at the two books, "Your Lie in April" and "Eternal," lying quietly beside the vase.

"I wonder when I'll be able to see Miss Fang Qiu's new book."

Ayaka Kamisato sighed softly.

"Miss Kamisato, you haven't eaten dinner yet. Lord Thomas has prepared a late-night snack for you and is waiting for you in the restaurant."

The maid's voice came from behind.

"Okay, I understand. It's getting late, you should go and get some rest."

Ayaka Kamisato responded, picked up a finely crafted tea fan bearing the crest of the Kamisato family, the magistrate of the company, and got up to walk towards the dining room.

Thomas had been waiting inside the restaurant for quite some time.

"Thoma, good evening."

Ayaka Kamisato smiled faintly and said.

"Good evening, Miss. A few days ago, I bought a Liyue home-style cookbook at Yaedo. I've been learning Liyue's cooking these past few days, and tonight's dinner will be dumplings from the cookbook."

As Thomas spoke, he opened the food box bearing the Kamisato family crest for Ayaka Kamisato.

Inside the food box, two rows of steaming dumplings lay quietly, with a small bowl of dipping sauce next to them.

"Liyue Cai?"

Ayaka Kamisato knelt on the tatami mat, put the book aside, smiled, and said, "I've heard from travelers that Liyue cuisine is quite good. I didn't expect that you, Thomas, would actually go to the trouble of learning Liyue cuisine."

"Miss, why don't you give it a try?"

Thomas smiled and said.

"Ah."

Ayaka Kamisato nodded slightly, picked up her chopsticks, gently picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the sauce, took a small bite, and her eyes lit up.

"Miss, how does it taste?"

Seeing that Ayaka Kamisato had finished the entire dumpling slowly and carefully, and then took a sip of tea, Thomas finally asked.

"It's delicious, as expected of Liyue cuisine."

Ayaka Kamisato nodded and said.

"By the way, Miss, speaking of travelers, I just ran into Miss Yoomiya, the traveler, and Paimon when I was returning to Kamisato-yashiki from Inazuma Castle."

Thomas said.

"Has the traveler returned to Inazuma?"

Ayaka Kamisato's eyes lit up slightly, and a knowing smile appeared on her lips. She murmured, "I wonder if the traveler knows Miss Fang Qiu. Could we ask her to tell us about Miss Fang Qiu?"

Chapter 135 Cherry Blossoms Falling Like Snow

The next day, in the evening.

The sun is setting.

The clouds on the horizon were tinged with an alluring citrus color by the setting sun.

Ayaka Kamisato and Toma walked side by side on the streets of Inazuma Castle.

As the two walked down the street, they naturally attracted the attention of the people present.

"Look, it's Princess Egret! So beautiful, elegant and serene."

“My daughter Sakura has recently been practicing swordsmanship at the Kamisato family's dojo. I heard that Miss Kamisato is very elegant and approachable in private, without a trace of the arrogance of a young lady.”

"Even though they are both the three chief ministers, the one from the Kujo family is much fiercer."

"That's not quite right. After all, they have different duties. Lady Kujo Sara is a Tenryo Magistrate and needs to maintain the security of Inazuma. It's normal for her to be a bit fierce."

That makes sense.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if Lady Kujo Sara has ever read Fang Qiu's works. I really want to see that kind of strong woman cry. Just imagining it makes me feel a little happy."

"Uh...you know what, I'm also interested in reading it. There's a strange sense of contrast, but even if it's a book by Professor Fang Qiu, it's still quite difficult to find."

Listening to the crowd's discussions, Ayaka Kamisato walked forward while responding to those who greeted her.

"Good afternoon, Ms. Kamisato."

"good afternoon."

"Miss Kamisato, would you like some tricolor dumplings?"
