As they walked down the street, they almost instantly attracted the attention of everyone on both sides of the street.

"Look, it's the General!"

"Those two people following the general, aren't they the legendary Traveler and Paimon?"

When they arrived near Yaedo Hall, they saw that the hall was crowded with people.

What are they doing?

"Shadow asked."

"Today is the book release day. Novel lovers will line up at Yaedo to buy their favorite new books."

Ying said.

"I see."

Ying nodded thoughtfully, then said, "I think I heard Kujo mention that you accepted the Divine Child's commission, and that every time Fang Qiu publishes a new book, you would go to Liyue to bring the book to Yaedo for publication?"

"Ah."

Ying nodded.

"Is Fang Qiu's new book in this issue?"

"Shadow asked."

"Ying, do you also like Fang Qiu's books?"

Paimon asked.

"The lessons she conveyed in her book coincided with what I truly learned."

Ying said, "I didn't understand the meaning behind the Divine Child recommending Fang Qiu's book to me before. After reading 'Your Lie in April,' all I felt was the pain of loss. I didn't see that Kousei Arima was reborn because of Kaori Miyazono. He carried Kaori Miyazono's expectations and continued to move forward. When Shinichi told me this truth, I immediately thought of Fang Qiu's book. This is the eternity that Shinichi pursued. I guess the Divine Child also hoped that I could understand this truth, which is why she recommended her book to me."

"So there's some truth to that?"

Paimon suddenly realized and said, "It just so happens that Miss Fang Qiu's book is being released today, let's go buy it together."

"Hmm, so many people like Fang Qiu's books, I'd also like to see what kind of content the public likes now."

Ying nodded.

They walked towards Yaedo, and when they got close, they saw a group of people coming out of the teahouse, where they were having a heated discussion.

"Hey, have you guys heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Toma from the Kamisato family just said that Fang Qiu's new book, 'The Forest of Fireflies,' was written by him after he wrote a letter to Fang Qiu."

"Is that true? Where did you hear that? Is it reliable?"

"That guy said it himself when he was chatting with Yomiya, it's absolutely true."

"This is absolutely true. Not only that, I suspect that the reason why Fang Qiu wrote so many tragedies was because of Tuoma's instigation. He wrote to Fang Qiu saying that the people of Inazuma really like tragedies, so he specially asked Fang Qiu to change the happy ending into a tragedy."

"While we don't know whether his previous works were related to Thomas, he was the one who orchestrated 'Hotarubi no Mori e'!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

"Ok?"

Ying raised an eyebrow.

“Traveler, Fang Qiu did mention Thomas sending her a letter during our meal earlier…”

Paimon said.

"I did say that."

Ying nodded.

Chapter 250, the scene involving the knife, was custom-made by Thomas (two parts combined).

The arrival of the General at Yaedo immediately drew everyone's attention, and the once bustling Yaedo instantly became completely silent.

Paimon and the Traveler's words were heard clearly by everyone present.

After a moment of surprise, the clerk at Yaedo quickly came over. When she heard that Ying wanted Fang Qiu's new book, the clerk immediately brought over three copies of "Hotarubi no Mori e".

Although the clerk insisted that she didn't need the money, Ying still paid for the three books.

"Let's go to the teahouse over there and read some books."

Paimon pointed to the teahouse opposite Yaedo and said.

"Aren't you hungry?"

"Shadow asked."

"I heard from Xiaogong that the teahouse sells snacks and dango milk, so we can fill our stomachs first."

Paimon said.

"Well."

Ying nodded.

After receiving Ying's approval, they walked towards the teahouse.

After the three of them left, Yaedo Hall erupted in chaos.

"I can't believe my eyes! The General actually came all the way to Yaedo to buy that old scoundrel Qiu's book! And he even went to a teahouse to read it!"

"There were rumors a while ago that the General really liked Fang Qiu's books. I thought it was just a rumor spread by Yaedo to boost sales, but it turns out it's true! Fang Qiu's books actually got the General's approval."

"My God... I want to buy ten copies of 'Hotarubi no Mori e'!"

"I'll buy twenty copies!"

"I'll buy thirty copies!"

The novel lovers queuing in front of the Yaedo store were all very excited.

The group of people who had just come out of the teahouse had a dark expression and looked unfriendly.

"Speaking of which, did you hear what the Travelers and the others were saying just now? It was that guy Thomas who wrote a letter to Fang Qiu, that old scoundrel, to write 'Hotarubi no Mori e'!"

"Damn it! Next time he comes to my house to buy groceries, I'm definitely going to give him a higher price!"

Everyone gritted their teeth in anger.

The three of them arrived at the teahouse, and their arrival immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

"Boss lady, I'd like to order."

After following the teahouse owner to the most elegant private room, Paimon waved and said.

The teahouse owner was too preoccupied with the fact that she wasn't married and couldn't be called "boss's wife" but "boss."

"General, what would you like to order?"

The teahouse owner asked respectfully.

"Just bring some tea and snacks."

"Shadow said."

"Since Ying doesn't know what to eat, let me order it."

Paimon smiled and said, "These days, I've tasted all of Inazuma's delicious food."

"That's fine too."

Ying nodded.

"Dumpling milk, tricolor dumplings, cherry blossom mochi..."

So, Paimon quickly placed the order.

Kage, however, turned his gaze to the book "Hotarubi no Mori e" on the table, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Thomas, of course, remembered.

It was during the confiscation of Thomas's Eye of God that the traveler, in order to save Thomas, stumbled into the Pure Land of One Heart.

The book in front of her, "Hotarubi no Mori e" (Forest of Fireflies), was written by Fang Qiu because of Thomas's letter, and she was curious about its contents.

After opening "Hotarubi no Mori e" (The Forest of Fireflies' Light), Yingjianying, who was standing next to her, also opened her own book.

She was also very curious about the contents of the book written in response to Thomas's letter.

So she opened the book cover as well.

The story begins in the height of summer.

……

At this moment, Thomas was sitting next to Taro, looking at "Hotarubi no Mori e" in his hands, lost in deep thought.

Is this... really a ghost story novel?

Although there are indeed descriptions of monsters in the story, such as the monster in the forest that threatens Hotaru Takegawa never to touch Gin, or it will eat Hotaru Takegawa.

But there was absolutely no sense of eeriness.

Although it wasn't the kind of ghost story novel he envisioned, "Hotarubi no Mori e" is undoubtedly a rare gem of a book, with its smooth writing and natural, delicate emotions.

In this book, however, he saw a world of monsters that was different from the legends of Inazuma.

"As expected of Miss Fang Qiu, she can even write novels about monsters with such gentleness."

As Thomas continued reading carefully, he muttered to himself, "Looks like I'll have to be more specific to Miss Fang Qiu next time I write a letter, and make her write something scary."

Time passed slowly.

As darkness fell, the sky became dark, devoid of stars and moon.

The air was crisp and cool.

Outside Inazuma Castle, a misty haze had already begun to rise.

The city was brightly lit.
