Beside him were several copies of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

Everyone sat at the table, craning their necks in anticipation, waiting for him to begin his speech.

Before a bard begins his sermon, he always drinks wine until he is slightly tipsy.

They say that's how you get into the zone.

Besides Wendy, they also saw several familiar figures.

For example, Yura and Amber, who were sitting in the front row, were not paying attention to the bards at all, only to the nun who was drinking, and the red-haired youth standing in front of the back.

Since everyone's attention was focused on Wendy, their arrival didn't attract much attention from those present.

"Good evening, Diluc-senpai."

Qin greeted them.

"Why are you here?"

The red-haired youth asked casually, "Come for a drink? Or are you also interested in his storytelling?"

There are several reasons.

Qin said.

"What would you like to drink?"

"Diluc asked."

"Give me a glass of strong liquor and a glass of dandelion wine."

"Lisa said."

Upon hearing this, the bartender immediately began to prepare.

After Qin and Lisa sat down at the bar, two glasses of wine were quickly served.

"Since you came to listen to that guy's storytelling, you must have read the books by that author named Fang Qiu, right?"

Looking at the bard on stage who was not only late but also used the excuse of needing to drink to prepare himself, Diluc said calmly.

"Senior Diluc also knows about Fang Qiu's book?"

Qin asked in confusion.

"I never expected that Diluc would also read Fang Qiu's books."

Lisa took a sip of the strong liquor and said with a smile.

"I haven't seen it."

Diluc said calmly, "I've been hearing a lot about his books these days, and quite a few of my men are reading them. Many of them cried a lot after reading them, bought drinks at the pub where they work, and then the next day I'd see them holding another of Fang Qiu's books."

"So that's how it is."

Jean nodded and said, "Senior Diluc can also take a look; it's an excellent work."

"After you finish watching, you'll understand why your subordinates are crying so much, yet still want to keep watching."

Lisa said from the side.

"We'll see when the time comes."

Diluc said.

However, since the book by that author named Fang Qiu was published, the business of Angel's Gift has indeed improved a lot.

The wine stored at Angel's Gift was even emptied at one point, and wine was urgently transported from Dawn Winery to save the day.

Especially on rest days, the tavern's business is even more frantic.

He couldn't help but wonder what the author, Fang Qiu, had written that could trigger such a drinking frenzy.

Wendy happened to be telling stories at the pub, so he came to listen.

However, to everyone's surprise, even Qin praised Fang Qiu's book highly. Not only did she read Fang Qiu's book, but she also took the time to go to the tavern to listen to people tell stories.

Before long, Wendy's pretty face was flushed from drinking.

He slapped the cover of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" on the table. Although he was a little drunk, his speech was very clear. He said, "This time, we will review Fang Qiu's book set in Liyue, 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1.' I believe everyone has already read this story. It tells the story of how a greedy little man gradually transforms into a great hero who carries the weight of the world on his shoulders."

"The heroes of Liyue?"

Diluc raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.

However, interest is one thing.

Just listen to a storyteller.

He wouldn't waste his time reading those boring novels.

Wendy continued speaking at length, and many people in the audience listened with expressions of sudden realization. Some even picked up their glasses and took a big gulp when they heard something moving.

Drowning one's sorrows in alcohol.

Qin and Lisa watched quietly.

Amber listened intently, while Yura casually sipped her drink.

They didn't even notice Qin and Lisa.

The nun sitting in the corner glanced at the various expressions on the faces of the crowd, and at Wendy, who was at the center of the group.

Their joys and sorrows were not shared, and she only found these people noisy.

……

Two days later.

Rice wife.

Inside the heavily guarded castle tower, Tengu Kujo Sara, the general in charge of the Tenryo magistrate, is reporting military affairs to the shogun.

The atmosphere was solemn.

It concerns the talks with the parties on Haiqi Island.

Kujo Sara spoke methodically.

After the report was completed, the shadow on the stage gave a reply, and Kujo Sara, having received the reply, took his leave.

"Kujo."

Just as she finished saying she was going to take her leave, Ying stood up and said...

"What are your orders, General?"

Kujo Sara asked.

"Any news about the trading fleets with Liyue?"

"Shadow said."

"Reporting to the General, the fleet has not yet returned. According to the plan, the fleet should return to Inazuma in ten days."

"Kujou Sara said."

"I see."

Ying said, "It's alright, you may leave."

"Yes, General."

Kujo Sara nodded.

However, as soon as she turned around, she paused and said, "By the way, General, I have something else to report."

"Speak."

"Shadow said."

“These days, I found some new books from Liyue at Yaedo in Inazuma. So I asked the editors at Yaedo and found out that Yae-no-ji had reached an agreement with the Traveler. The Traveler would go to Liyue on each book release day and bring back a new book by an author named Fang Qiu. If the General has important matters to discuss with Liyue, he can ask the Traveler to deliver them when the Traveler delivers the book to Inazuma.”

"Kujou Sara said."

"Fang Qiu's new book?"

Ying was slightly taken aback, then regained her composure and said, "Understood, you can go now."

"Yes, General."

Kujo Sara accepted the order and took his leave.

She left the castle tower and headed towards the Tenryo-bōchō (Heavenly Commander).

Walking under the cherry blossom trees, Kujo Sara couldn't help but show a strange expression.

Why did the General mention "Fang Qiu's new book" just now?

She remembered that when Yaegami Tsukasa held the "Your Lie in April" concert in front of the castle tower last time, the book he recommended to the Shogun was written by Fang Qiu.

In her room were two books by Fang Qiu that Beidou had given her.

Could it be that the General also really likes the books written by that Fang Qiu?

Is her writing really that good?

She couldn't help but feel curious.

Moreover, a few days ago, Fang Qiu's book was delivered to Inazuma by a traveler, which triggered a book-buying frenzy in Inazuma.

For many days in a row, long queues formed at all the major bookstores in Yaedo.

Or should she go back and take a look?

As she walked into the Heavenly Commandery while deep in thought, a soldier from the Heavenly Commandery came to greet her.

"Lord Kujo, something has happened."

"what's up?"

Kujo Sara frowned and asked.

"Today, several brothers received a report that something strange was happening near the Divine Cherry Tree. So, they went to investigate and found that a Beast Realm hunting dog was attacking the Divine Cherry Tree. After a fierce battle, all of the brothers were seriously injured. In the end, the head of the Shenli family happened to pass by and saved the brothers. However, we had just returned to the Heavenly Territory Enforcer when we received several more reports, all of them about the Divine Cherry Tree."

The soldier reported.

"I understand. Take good care of the wounded, and leave this to me."
