I write novels in Liyue

Araki Ichito, who was at the very front of the line, laughed heartily.

"Um, sir, could you please tell me the title of the book you need? There are still people in line behind us."

The bookstore clerk awkwardly interrupted his laughter and said...

"Yeah, yeah, are you going to buy it or not!"

"If you're not buying, hurry up and give up your seat. Don't keep everyone from reading!"

"It's you again! You were the one wasting Fang Qiu's time with her new book too!"

At the back of the line, several novel enthusiasts began to condemn the actions.

"Ahem, give me a copy of 'Hotarubi no Mori e' and a copy of 'Idle Things Monthly'."

Araki Ichito was also a little embarrassed, and took out twenty Mora and said.

Soon, the shop assistant handed Arataki Kazuto a brand new copy of "Hotarubi no Mori e" (Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light).

After the money and goods were exchanged, Araki Ichito took the book, walked out of the long line, and glanced at the signboard standing at the entrance of Yaedo.

The standee depicts Ms. Hina, dressed in a kimono, with a hot figure and a gentle, watery face, strongly promoting Fang Qiu's new book, "Hotarubi no Mori e".

"Miss Hina."

Araki Ichito, his face beaming with excitement, turned and left amidst the disapproving gazes of the crowd.

At that moment, Kujo Sara, who was leading his troops, happened to witness this scene.

"That idiot again."

Kujo Sara couldn't help but snort coldly as she looked at Aki's new book on the standee.

""Forest of Fireflies"?"

Kujo Sara frowned.

After the matter of the Divine Cherry Tree being attacked by the Beast Realm Hounds is resolved, she'll buy a copy too.

The calamity of the Beast Hounds is gradually growing, and they must protect the people around them.

After pausing for a moment, Kujo Sara led his troops out of the city in a grand procession.

Not long after she left.

Two figures walked out of the hotel.

"Oh no! There are already so many people in line."

Paimon looked as if he had lost his parents.

"It's all because Paimon, you insisted on sleeping a little longer."

Ying said.

"It's all that Shenzi's fault! He wouldn't even give us a copy of Fang Qiu's new book, saying we should line up and use our influence to help Fang Qiu promote it!"

Paimon stomped his foot angrily and said, "Although what she said makes sense, and it's good to help Fang Qiu promote her, I still feel uncomfortable no matter how I think about it. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I want to give the Divine Child a name... uh, never mind, it would be troublesome if she found out. Anyway, let's go to Narukami Shrine for dinner tonight!"

"Ah."

Ying nodded.

"Forget it, there are still so many people in line, let's go get breakfast first."

Paimon said.

"it is good."

Ying nodded.

They walked towards Shimura-ya Hotel, chatting and laughing all the way.

However, they had only just reached the street where Shimura-ya was located when they were stopped by Catherine of the Adventurers' Guild.

"Towards the stars and the abyss, traveler."

"Catherine, is something the matter?"

Paimon asked, puzzled.

"The Adventurers' Guild recently received a special request. After careful consideration, we believe..."

At this point, Paimon interrupted Catherine.

"This traveler is the most suitable choice, isn't he?"

She hovered in mid-air, pointed at the traveler, and said.

"Hehe, indeed, it's always like that."

Catherine smiled and said, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you two. May I ask if you are both available?"

"Since we're already here..."

Paimon said, "Anyway, we can't wait in line anytime soon, let's hear what Catherine has to say first."

"Ah."

Ying nodded.

So Catherine told Luminous and Paimon about the Beast Hounds harassing the Divine Cherry Tree.

Upon hearing that it was about the Divine Cherry Tree, they accepted the request without hesitation.

When they first arrived in Inazuma, Hana-san paid such a high price to protect the Divine Cherry Tree. Now that the Beast Hounds want to destroy the Divine Cherry Tree, they naturally cannot stand idly by.

So they quickly ate breakfast and ran towards the outskirts of the city.

However, when I passed by Yaedo, I found that there was also a queue at Naganohara Yomigushi Shrine.

After chatting for a few minutes, they asked Naganohara Yomi-no-miya to buy them a copy later, and then ran towards the location marked on the map by the Adventurers' Association.

Along the way, they also saw Araki Ichito sitting on a stone chair under a cherry blossom tree, surrounded by several of his underlings.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. Summer is so much better. We can eat popsicles, swim in the river, and go to festivals."

"Boss, it's getting a bit cold. Shall we go somewhere else to watch?"

One of the underlings said.

"It's cold already? As members of the Desolate Wasteland Sect, how can you be afraid of this little bit of cold?"

Araki Ichito said, "Come, sit down, let's watch together."

"Good boss!"

……

……

P.S.: I saw some people were still asking for the group number, so I'll post it again.

367730610.

Welcome to Ms. Fang Qiu's rented apartment.

Chapter 244 A Lone Shadow Guards the Nation

Inside the castle tower.

General Thunder sat upright before the desk, closing his eyes in quiet contemplation.

Within the tranquil Pure Land of One Heart.

The shadow floated in the air, quietly reading a book.

The book is titled "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1".

These are books that Yae no Miko specially brought for her a few days ago, and told her that they are all very worthwhile books to read.

Travelers who have seen it highly recommend it.

She had already seen the middle and later stages.

The book tells the story of Jing Tian and his group arriving in the God Realm, meeting Xi Yao, and Xi Yao silently shedding tears.

As Xi Yao read the book, she recalled the past, and Ying fell silent.

At that moment, she noticed a passage of text on one side of the book.

"Silently, I've traveled so far. When I look up, I suddenly realize that I've been going backwards, back to the starting point, stubbornly resisting time..."

"The promise of forever has been broken; the expectations that remained unchanged have all changed. Only when I close my eyes can I see those once warm and vibrant scenes..."

Upon seeing this poem, Ying's pupils contracted slightly. She closed her eyes, and some long-forgotten memories suddenly surfaced.

His expression immediately darkened.

At the same time, the once bright Pure Land of One Heart has become much dimmer.

Those once warm and vibrant scenes were of them admiring cherry blossoms under the cherry trees.

They laughed together and discussed the interesting things that had happened in recent days. At that time, Fox Palace liked to wander around the human world and would always talk about the interesting things she saw there.

She would listen quietly from the side, and Chiyo would always rest her head on her lap, catching cherry blossoms with her hands.

Sasa Yuri sat to the side with her, drinking sake and listening to what Kosai-gu had seen and heard.

Under the cherry blossom tree, they hoped for an everlasting friendship.

But... things have changed now...

She is all alone now...

Tomorrow, their smiling faces will be gone...

Even the truth, she lost...

Beautiful memories shatter like a mirage.

She gripped the book tightly, leaving several deep fingerprints on the thick pages.

If she hadn't taken some control, this book would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Quiet.
