I write novels in Liyue

Have you heard?

"You mean that the things Fang Qiu wrote about in his tragedies were all orchestrated by Thomas?"

"No, it was this afternoon when the General himself came to Yaedo to buy Aki's book! This is different from the last book, 'Reborn as the Thunder General, and then invincible under heaven.' This time, the General came specifically to buy 'Hotarubi no Mori e.' Moreover, unlike last time when he only glanced at it briefly, this time the General read the entire book with that famous traveler in the teahouse."

"As expected of that old scoundrel Fang Qiu... He actually managed to gain the General's favor. Enough said, I'm going to buy a few more copies for my collection!"

Hearing the discussions among the people in line, Kujo Sara was somewhat shocked.

After personally quelling the rebellion of the Beast Hounds, the General actually went to Yaedo with the Traveler to buy Fang Qiu's new book.

The general actually went to Yaedo to buy the book by that author named Fang Qiu, and even finished reading it in the teahouse.

She was very curious about the contents of the book that even the general loved.

Or perhaps the general had a deeper meaning behind his actions...

However, I will know everything after I read the book.

So she stopped and ordered her adjutant to lead the troops back, while she stayed at the Yaedo Hall.

She decided to buy a copy to read as well.

She walked to the end of the line and waited quietly.

Seeing her join the queue, many people present had a slight change in expression.

"Isn't that Kujo Sara, the Tenryo magistrate? Why is she at the back of the group?"

"Could she also be here to buy Fang Qiu's books?"

"I never expected that even that cold and aloof woman, Kujo Sara, would like Fang Qiu's books..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, or Lord Kujo Sara might hear you, and you'll be in big trouble."

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, their eyes filled with awe as they looked at Kujo Sara.

Kujo Sara overheard all of these discussions.

However, she didn't pay much attention to the people's discussions and turned her gaze away from the signboard on the other side of the Yaedo entrance, where Miss Hina was strongly promoting Fang Qiu's new work, "Hotarubi no Mori e" (Forest of Fireflies' Light).

They began to consider how to improve the public's impression of Tenryobu.

Besides that, she was also curious about something else.

Why did I hear someone say before that the tragic events Fang Qiu wrote were all orchestrated by Thomas?

Just as she was thinking, a voice rang out.

"Saro, what are you doing here?"

"It's you."

Kujo Sara turned around and saw the Traveler and Paimon standing not far away, watching her.

"Are you also here to buy Qiu's books?"

Paimon asked.

"more or less."

Kujo Sara nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.

After all, she bought the book to understand the general's deeper meaning.

"I see. But the line is so long. How about we give you a copy?"

Paimon said.

"No need, I'll queue up myself. I also plan to buy Fang Qiu's previous works as well."

Kujo Sara shook her head.

"It's alright, I have Fang Qiu's complete set of books here, I'll give them to you as well."

Ying said.

"This……"

Kujo Saro frowned slightly.

"Just accept it without worry."

Paimon said.

Unable to persuade the traveler and Paimon, Kujo Sara had no choice but to accept the book. However, at Kujo Sara's insistence, she paid the traveler double the amount of Mora.

Seeing Kujo Sara leave carrying a large stack of books, Paimon stroked his chin and said, "I don't know why, but I'm kind of looking forward to seeing Sara finish reading Fang Qiu's books."

"Me too."

Ying nodded.

"I'm really curious to see what kind of expression someone as serious as Sara will have after watching it."

Paimon said.

"I'm curious too."

"Watching Kujo Sara's figure gradually disappear into the distance," Ying said.

Kujo Sara had no idea about the conversation between the traveler and Paimon; she carried the book and headed towards the Tenryo-Hosho.

Along the way, the only things she heard most, besides the general personally visiting Yachong Hall to buy Fang Qiu's books, were about Thomas asking Fang Qiu to write a tragedy.

However, she didn't really care whether the story was a tragedy or not.

After finishing her official business at the Tenryo Magistrate's residence, she carried her books and headed back to the Kujo residence.

Upon entering, one sees the second young master of the Kujo family, whose head is named Dai Kujo Renji.

"Master of the family."

Kujo Sara greeted her.

After Kujo Takayuki was executed, the eldest son was away from home, so naturally the second son, Kujo Renji, became his successor.

As the adopted daughter of the Kujo family, Kujo Sara naturally wouldn't neglect her.

Renji Kujo also responded politely.

Kujo Renji handed a package to his servant and asked him to deliver it to Tong Qianli, the magistrate in charge of the investigation.

After talking with her, Kujo Sara learned that the package contained Fang Qiu's complete set of books.

After hearing that the general had bought Fang Qiu's book, Kujo Renji inquired about the reputation and genre of Fang Qiu's books. He then specially sent someone to buy two complete sets of Fang Qiu's books and wrote a letter, sending one set along with the letter to Hiiragi Senri.

That is, the person whom the nine men of integrity admire.

He kept a copy for himself, intending to read it and then discuss Fang Qiu's book with Tong Qianli.

Kujo Sara wasn't interested in such things. After exchanging a few words, she took the book and went back to her room.

Looking at the statue of Mitaken Narukami, the main deity of the shrine, standing quietly in the display case, Kujo Sara let out a long sigh, picked up his book, sat down at his desk, and moved the Xuan paper on the table with the words "The Way of the Constant is vast, Narukami is eternal" written on it to the side.

I picked up Fang Qiu's latest book, "The Forest of Fireflies," and under the bright lights, I opened the pages and began to read quietly.

Outside the window, the night was hazy, and a gentle breeze drifted into the distance.

At this moment, Mondstadt.

Unlike the torrential winter rain in Liyue, or the approaching winter rain in Inazuma.

The night sky over Mondstadt was exceptionally clear.

The sky is filled with stars, the Milky Way stretches across the sky, and the moonlight is as clear as water.

Inside Mondstadt.

The windmills turned leisurely, and the taverns throughout Mondstadt were packed.

Of these, Angel's Gift and Cat's Tail Tavern are the most popular.

A gift from angels.

Diluc stood behind the counter, holding a glass of grape juice, and quietly took a sip.

He wasn't like the drunken bard on stage who was holding "Hotarubi no Mori e" and tricked him out of a bottle of fine cider under the pretense of getting into the mood.

Although he is the owner of Dawn Winery, he doesn't like drinking.

He doesn't like the taste of alcohol.

Grape juice tastes much better in comparison.

"You've been coming quite frequently lately. Are the Knights all that free?"

Diluc looked at the women sitting behind the counter and said expressionlessly.

"Don't worry, all the work has been assigned to Kaiya, he will complete it efficiently."

Lisa took a sip of strong liquor and said with a smile, "Besides, don't you think it's more advantageous for the Knights not to strain themselves to the point of breaking?"

"I agree with that."

Diluc looked at Jean, whose pretty face was slightly flushed from drinking, and said.

Going to a bar to relax every few days at least prevents me from collapsing from exhaustion at my desk like before.

After saying that, he added, "No wonder I haven't seen that guy for so long, turns out he was forced to work overtime."

"How can you say it was forced? It was clearly voluntary overtime."

Lisa smiled gently and said.

"Bartender, another drink, please."

Yura, sitting to the side, took a big gulp of wine, slammed the empty oak glass on the counter, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment. She gritted her teeth and said, "That Fang Qiu, he wrote another tragedy. I'll remember this grudge, and one day I'll take my revenge tenfold."

Amber, who was drinking a beverage nearby, smiled and agreed, advising Yura to drink less and drink more slowly.

At this time.

Wendy, the storyteller surrounded by the crowd on stage, had finished building up his emotions under their watchful eyes.

He wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and then began to talk at length about Fang Qiu's "Hotarubi no Mori e".

His analysis was so logical and clear that the audience listened with expressions of sudden realization.
