I write novels in Liyue

Several people, without any attempt to hide it, stared at him fiercely with red eyes.

This struck Thomas as odd.

Did I say something wrong?

"Well, it's getting late. I've bought the book, so I'll head back to the publishing house now. Miss is still waiting for Fang Qiu's new book."

Thomas didn't linger and quickly ran away.

Soon after Thomas left, the entire teahouse erupted in chaos.

Thomas walked toward the wooden leak tea room with a puzzled look on his face.

All the way there, he kept thinking about what he had said wrong.

Arriving at the wooden-framed tea room, I greeted Taro-maru and then made my way to the tea room where Ms. Kamisato was.

Ayaka Kamisato was sitting at the table playing chess with a young man in a white robe.

"King's hand."

Ayaka Kamisato smiled and said.

The young man in the white robe smiled, not caring that he had made a mistake in the game, and instead picked up the cup of milk with dumplings on the table and took a sip.

"Master, Miss."

Thomas waited outside the pavilion and said.

Hearing Thomas's voice, Ayaka Kamisato smiled and said, "Thoma, thank you for your hard work."

Ayato Kamisato also turned to look at Thomas, who was waiting outside the room, and said, "Thoma, I heard you went to Yaedo to buy books?"

"Ah."

Thomas nodded.

"I just chatted with Linghua, and afterwards I was a little curious, just how amazing is that Miss Fang Qiu's book that you two like it so much?"

Ayato Kamisato took another sip of dango milk and said with a faint smile, "Do you have any extra books? Could you give me a copy as well? That way I won't bother the sleeping little one to buy them for me."

"I had extras, so I bought five at once."

Thomas smiled, took out the cloth bag from his back, walked up to Ayaka and Ayato, opened the bag, took out Fang Qiu's new book, and handed one to each of them.

"This new book by Fang Qiu is a ghost story novel that I requested from Miss Fang Qiu in a previous letter."

Thomas said.

"Oh? That's interesting. Could it be one of those stories where once you go in, you'll be bewitched by monsters and get lost in the forest forever?"

Ayato Kamisato raised an eyebrow. He glanced at the book cover, which featured a torii gate covered in talismans.

Behind the torii gate, a boy is leading a little girl by the hand with a wooden stick.

"Master, that's what I think too."

Thomas said with anticipation, "Although the title of 'Hotarubi no Mori e' doesn't sound like a ghost story, I recently read a ghost story with a title that didn't sound like one at all, called 'You Under the Cherry Blossom Tree.' At the time, many people thought 'You Under the Cherry Blossom Tree' was a romance novel. After reading 'Your Lie in April,' they longed for that kind of love story. But when they bought it, they found out that the book was about the protagonist being hanged under a cherry blossom tree. I have to say, that author is amazing. It gave me goosebumps. Many readers were so scared that they cried and ran to Yaedo to ask for a refund."

"No wonder this book looked so familiar. I just remembered that I ran into an acquaintance on the road before coming to Mulou Tea House. He seemed to be reading this book by the roadside."

Ayato Kamisato smiled and said, "This makes me even more curious. What kind of book could make such an interesting person so engrossed? Ghosts reading ghost stories, how interesting! I'll accept this book for now, and I'll treat you to dango milk another day."

Ayaka Kamisato accepted the book that Thomas handed her. Although she didn't particularly like ghost stories, she still wanted to take a look since it was written by Miss Fang Qiu.

Seeing that Ayaka Kamisato and Ayato Kamisato had sat down and started reading, Thomas left the room, walked to the counter, found a comfortable spot to sit down, and opened "Hotarubi no Mori e" while keeping Taromaru company.

Little did he know that as he opened the book, rumors about him writing a letter to Fang Qiu, asking Fang Qiu to write "Hotarubi no Mori e" (Forest of Fireflies), spread like wildfire through the teahouse.

P.S.: I'm taking a break. Only one update today.

Today, I heard from my editor that my book has been suspended from recommendations for a month due to review. I'm feeling a bit down... I've been holding back for so long to write just one chapter. I've already been suffering a lot from the review process, with chapters being suspended for a single sentence, and others for just a few words. My recent updates have been unstable because of this, and writing is very difficult. I just didn't expect that not only would my chapter be suspended, but my recommendations would also be suspended for a month, which happens to be the time when I'm supposed to be recommended this month. In other words, I haven't had any recommendations for two months.

Let me adjust my mindset; I'll resume updates tomorrow.

I'm very sorry everyone, I hope you can understand.

Chapter 249 It was Thomas who did it!

A cool breeze brushed the sleeves of a boy and a girl running hand in hand down the street, ruffled the hair of two girls sitting on a bench under the cherry blossom tree, who had just finished practicing swordsmanship at the Kamisato family's dojo and were engrossed in reading. The breeze, carrying the scent of Inazuma Castle, rushed northward and blew into the backyard of Narukami Taisha Shrine, landing on the shadow in front of the sacred cherry blossom tree.

She has reconciled with General Thunder, and from now on, General Thunder will no longer defy her will.

“I no longer pursue stillness and eternity, so there is no need to close the country.”

Ying looked at the cherry blossom tree in front of her, which had been pruned into the shape of a fox by Yae no Miko.

The cherry trees rustled in the wind, as if responding to Ying's words.

"Great, things are finally over, and Inazuma's isolationist policy is about to end."

Paimon said with a smile.

"Yes."

Ying nodded.

"Oh? Is the country finally going to lift its isolation policy?"

Yae no Miko narrowed his eyes and said.

"Divine Child, what wicked scheme are you plotting now?"

Paimon glanced at Yae no Kamiko and said.

"Little one, you can't just accuse someone like that. I haven't said anything yet."

Yae Kamiko said with a smile.

"I know without you saying a word that you're planning something."

Paimon, adopting the air of a famous detective, pushed up his glasses and said.

"I didn't expect you to know me so well, little guy."

Yae no Miko smiled and said, "However, what I'm planning will remain a secret for now. You'll find out in due time."

Paimon was about to say something when Shadow turned around and asked, "By the way, Traveler, do you have time later?"

"Have."

Ying nodded and said, "Is there something you need?"

Paimon also looked puzzled.

"Now that we've decided to move forward, we naturally need to carefully examine Inazuma as he is today, sort out the current situation, and consider the future."

Shadow said, "So, I would like to ask you to take me around Inazuma City again."

"Understood, leave it to us!"

Paimon nodded and said.

"What, General, aren't you going to invite me along?"

Yae Kamiko said with a smile.

"I don't plan to."

Ying shook her head and said.

"Such a decisive rejection? I'm really heartbroken."

Yae no Miko sighed and said, feigning sadness, "Never mind, you can go now. Since Inazuma is going to lift the isolation order, I'll start planning Yae-do's new activities."

After exchanging a few words with Yae no Miko, Shadow, the Traveler, and Paimon prepared to leave.

"I'm getting hungry after fighting for so long. Let's go eat something delicious first. I want to eat lots of delicious food: tempura shrimp, meat bone ramen, assorted fried noodles, tricolor dumplings, tuna sashimi, quail eggs, grilled fish, and dango milk!"

Paimon said, "Observing the foods that people like is also an important part of the investigation."

"Paymon clearly didn't do anything."

Ying rolled her eyes at Paimon and said.

"I cheered you on a lot while you and Shadow were fighting!"

Paimon said.

"Dumpling milk? That sounds like such a distant name."

Ying recalled.

"Of course, after all, Ying, you fought the General for five hundred years in the Pure Land of One Heart. The last time you drank dumpling milk was five hundred years ago."

Paimon said.

They passed through the torii gate and exited Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Hold my hand tightly.

Shadow stretched out his hand and said, "I will take you back to Inazuma City."

"Ah."

Ying nodded, reached out and grabbed Ying, and with her other hand she grabbed Paimon.

Seeing that they had caught him, Ying took a step forward and instantly transformed into a streak of purple lightning, rushing towards Inazuma Castle.

Almost instantly, they appeared outside Inazuma Castle in a deserted place.

"So fast! I didn't even have time to react!"

Paimon's eyes widened as he spoke.

"Alright, let's go."

"Shadow said."

"Ah."

Ying nodded, and they walked towards Inazuma Castle.
