Upon hearing Naganohara Yomi's greeting, Thomas looked up, smiled, and waved.

"Thoma, is there any news about Miss Fang Qiu's new book?"

Naganohara Yoshimiya asked with some anticipation.

There is no news yet.

Thomas sighed, shook his head, and said.

"I see. I really hope Miss Fang Qiu's book can be delivered to Inazuma soon..."

After sighing, Naganohara Yoshimiya changed the subject and asked, "By the way, what book were you reading just now? You were even reading it while walking."

After reading Ms. Fang Qiu's book, reading has become her third greatest hobby.

First is fireworks!

The second is to play with the children.

Thomas also really likes Ms. Fang Qiu's books; he might like the books he reads too.

"You're asking about this book? It's called 'Ghosts Under the Bed,' the latest work by one of my favorite ghost story authors! It's about a female author who rents a room, but after moving in, strange things happen every night. Eventually, she discovers that eerie sounds come from under her bed every night..."

Upon hearing Naganohara Yoshimiya's question, Thomas immediately became interested and began introducing the book in his hand.

"Wait, wait, stop talking, or I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Seeing the cover of the book in Thomas's hand, Naganohara Yoshimiya quickly waved his hand, interrupting Thomas.

On the book cover, a woman is holding an oil lamp and looking under the bed, where a pair of bloodshot eyes are visible.

"It's very interesting, I recommend you take a look."

Thomas said with a smile, "I've sent a lot of ghost stories to Miss Fang Qiu. Maybe Miss Fang Qiu will write ghost stories in the future."

"Alright then, I'll buy it and take a look tomorrow during the day, to get used to it first. Miss Fang Qiu is so amazing, her ghost stories must be really scary."

Naganohara Yomi-miya thought for a moment and then said.

……

At this moment, under the tranquil moonlight.

In the courtyard in front of the sacred cherry tree at Narukami Taisha Shrine.

A beautiful pink-haired shrine maiden, dressed in a magnificent shrine maiden outfit and adorned with pink and purple hair ornaments, was reclining on a chaise lounge.

"Raise your glass and invite the moon."

Yae no Miko picked up the sake bowl filled with sake, looked at the moon hanging high in the sky, its view mostly blocked by the branches of the sacred cherry tree, opened her mouth and drank most of the sake in one gulp, then handed the sake bowl to Hayazu, who was standing timidly beside her.

Zaoyou shuddered and quickly picked up the wine bottle to pour her a drink.

As the clear wine was poured out, a gentle breeze swept by, and cherry blossom petals drifted down onto the table beside her recliner.

There were several books and a sales list on the table.

The list shows the rankings of this book launch event.

The top-ranked film is "Your Lie in April".

The second place is "Rebirth: I Am the Dog of the Kamisato Family".

The third place is...

"I didn't expect this book to stay popular for so long. Even the book I strongly recommended couldn't surpass it. However, this is probably related to the publicity effect of that concert and the rumor that I had someone spread the word that General Inazuma Sanbo loved reading 'Your Lie in April.' I just wonder how many new books that girl has written. There shouldn't be only one, right?"

Yae Miko looked at "Your Lie in April" on the table with amusement, as fallen cherry blossom petals landed on it.

When Hayato heard Yae no Miko's words, her hand trembled in shock.

This woman actually dared to spread rumors about that lord!

But she didn't dare to speak and focused on pouring the wine.

If you spill the wine, you'll be in big trouble.

"Lord Yae no Kami, did you do that kind of thing?"

Nana Kano exclaimed in shock.

"Those kinds of trivial matters are not important at all."

Yae no Miko waved his hand, took a sip of sake, and said.

"Such a trivial matter?"

Nana Kano's eyes widened.

The rumors about General Sora are a serious crime, and even Narukami Taisha would not escape the punishment of the Tenryō magistrate.

Before Kano Nana could speak, Yae Miko said, "We have guests. Go and prepare some pastries."

"Guests? Where are the guests?"

Kano Nana was taken aback, turned around and looked at the front yard with a puzzled look in her eyes, but she still went inside and took out some pastries.

Just as they were set up, a series of footsteps and voices approached from afar.

A short while later, the two figures arrived at the back of the hall.

"Divine Child, we've arrived!"

Paimon flew in the air, waved, and called out.

Ying waved from behind.

"Huh? Zaoyou, what are you doing here?"

Paimon asked, puzzled.

"This little one missed work because she was sleeping, so I'm making her work overtime as punishment."

Yae no Miko waved his hand and said.

Upon hearing Yae no Miko's words, Hayato lowered her head with a mournful expression, muttering, "How could this be... How could they have caught us when we were so well hidden..."

……

……

P.S.: I'm experiencing writer's block... This morning I woke up wanting to eat something spicy, and then I felt awful all day...

Chapter 233 Reading is worse than sleeping...

"Oh, I see. Poor Zaoyou."

Seeing Zaoyou's long face and regretful expression, Paimon shrugged, indicating that he couldn't help her.

However, she felt that Zaoyou wasn't regretting being lazy, but rather regretting that she should have changed her location to hide and sleep.

"Alright, let's get down to business. You've been back for so long, how did things go?"

Yae no Miko narrowed her eyes slightly, smiled faintly, and said.

"Of course it's done."

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said with a proud look on his face.

"Some things happened, which is why I was delayed."

Ying said.

"Then, regarding the compensation..."

Yae no Miko crossed her legs, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a playful smile curved her delicate lips.

"Hey! Divine Child, you're not trying to withhold your reward, are you?"

Paimon stamped his foot and frowned as he spoke.

"Oh dear, I was just about to say that the pay would remain the same, but you all misunderstood me. This is really heartbreaking."

Yae no Miko slightly strained her waist and hips to get up from the recliner, and then pretended to be heartbroken.

"This person must have done it on purpose!"

Paimon Void stamped his foot and said.

"Alright, alright, take the book out."

Yae no Miko smiled and said.

Ying nodded and took out Fang Qiu's book.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, Your Name, 5 Centimeters Per Second, The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2.

"Oh? So many?"

Looking at the stack of books piled on the desk, Yae no Miko raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She had thought Fang Qiu would only have two new books at most, but she didn't expect there to be so many.

There are four sets of new books in total, and each set contains two copies.

Among them, the two volumes of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" have the most volumes.

"These books sell very well in Liyue."

Paimon said, "Miss Ningguang also made a film of 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1,' and she's probably planning to make films of several other installments soon."

"Yingying?"

Yae no Miko raised an eyebrow, stroked her chin, and said, "This seems interesting. It seems we can cooperate on this."

"By the way, this is a letter that Gan Yu asked us to give to you."

Paimon took out Gan Yu's letter and said.

"A letter from Sister Gan Yu?"

Yae no Miko smiled as she accepted the letter, but she didn't open it immediately. Instead, she looked at Hayaru and said, "Hayaru, I'll trouble you to deliver the book to the Yaedo editorial department first thing tomorrow morning."

"Ah? But..."

Zaoyou looked hesitant.
