Anime Crossover: My Girlfriend Has a System

Instead of answering Ye Ziye's question immediately, Akiyama Hitomi calmly ordered a coffee, straightened her posture, and then slowly spoke.

"I was just about to tell you this. Judging from the first week, Ye Zi Jun's Romantic Daily Life is performing quite well. It can even rank in the top five among works of the same period. The feedback from readers is also very good, so it will not face the risk of being canceled for the time being."

Ye Ziye raised an eyebrow and handed the black coffee to Akiyama Hitomi.

He was quite surprised by the result. He originally thought that Ye Zijun's daily love life would just be a normal novel, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

Does adding female characters really make a big difference to a work?

After taking a sip of coffee, a satisfied expression appeared on Akiyama Hitomi's face. She leaned on the table, stared at Ye Ziye's face, and said...

"Ye Zijun, you're really amazing. You can make coffee, you're handsome, and your writing is so good. If you were a girl, I would be so jealous."

Ye Ziye wasn't sure if Akiyama Hitomi's words were a compliment, but since they sounded harmless, he politely thanked her.

After all, the woman in front of him was no longer just his customer, but also his editor.

Chapter 112

"Ye Zijun, don't worry. As long as you maintain a high standard in your story and writing, the novel will definitely be a success!"

After expressing her feelings, Hitomi Akiyama stopped slumping on the table and spoke in an encouraging tone, her eyes sparkling.

As an editor, the best way to prove her achievements is to have one of her authors write a great book.

During her two years of work, although she had been taking on projects, she had not discovered any truly outstanding works.

But now she feels that Ye Zijun's daily love life has the potential to become a first-rate work, since there haven't been any good youth slice-of-life novels on the market for a long time.

If this novel is successful, she will also rise to prominence, and may even get a promotion and a raise.

If it gets adapted into an anime, both she and Ye Ziye will benefit.

"Yes, I will write it well. By the way, this is the second volume. Take a look, and if there are no problems, you can take it."

As he spoke, Ye Ziye took out the second volume of the novel from under the bar, which he always carried with him.

He had already completed all the changes and polishes he could think of. As for himself, he felt there was nothing left to change, and it was better to listen to the advice of professionals.

"You finished the second volume so quickly?"

Kudo Nami exclaimed in surprise, feeling somewhat astonished. Ye Ziye's speed had already surpassed that of 80% of the authors.

If that were all, it certainly wouldn't be surprising enough, but Ye Ziye wrote it entirely by hand, which makes it truly astonishing.

After admiring Ye Ziye's calligraphy for a while, Akiyama Hitomi began to read it seriously and smoothly entered work mode.

Although it was after get off work hours, she felt that working wasn't so bad, and reading Ye Ziye's works made her feel very relaxed.

Elegant music played in the coffee shop, and Hitomi Akiyama was captivated at first glance—the writing was simply too beautiful.

Because of Ye Ziye's breakthrough in learning skills, the second volume is of much higher quality than the first volume in terms of sheer quality.

While making coffee for his customers, Ye Ziye waited for Akiyama Hitomi's comments. He felt that the second volume should be fine.

Twenty minutes later, Hitomi Akiyama let out a long sigh of relief, slowly closed the second volume, and put it into her bag.

"Ye Zi-kun, Volume 2 is flawless and even better than Volume 1. Trust me, it will definitely be a huge bestseller!"

Hitomi Akiyama assured her, her eyes brimming with confidence, because she truly believed it; as a professional editor, she couldn't find a single flaw in her.

She even believes that even veteran editors would probably find no fault with this work.

It's a pity that with such excellent writing skills, if she had written a mainstream shonen harem novel, it would probably have achieved legendary success.

"I really appreciate your kind words."

Slightly relieved, Ye Ziye stopped worrying about the novel. Since the professionals all said it was fine, he wouldn't say anything more.

"By the way, Ye Zi, the royalties for the first volume should be deposited into your bank account soon. Remember to check it."

"Ok, I know."

Hearing the words "royalties," Ye Ziye felt a little excited. Although he didn't write novels for money, he was still a common man, and he would naturally be happy to see money.

When he first came into this world, he was very short of money, otherwise he wouldn't have been looking for places to work.

"The payment for the first issue won't be much, around 50,000 yuan. But don't worry, the payment will gradually increase. If the quality continues like this, the payment will probably reach 100,000 yuan soon!"

Hitomi Akiyama was very excited. She felt like she was witnessing the birth of a great writer. She even wanted to take Ye Ziye away right now and stop him from being a barista so that he could focus on writing.

However, this idea is very unrealistic. Even if Ye Ziye were to leave the pet cafe, it definitely wouldn't be now. He would only leave after he had taught Nakamura Nanami to level 3 (the highest level).

As Ye Ziye wiped the cup in front of him, a question suddenly came to mind, and he asked Akiyama Hitomi.

"Where do you girls like to go when you go out with guys?"

"Do you want to ask me out?"

Hitomi Akiyama became excited again, and this time she even stood up.

"No, I was just asking."

"Tch~ You wouldn't happen to be thinking of asking that girl who came to the coffee shop last time out, would you?"

"Yes."

Ye Ziye didn't intend to hide this matter, because this wasn't school and there was no way it would spread rumors that would harm Kato Megumi.

"I knew it..."

Hitomi Akiyama gave a soft hum, glanced subtly at Nakamura Nanami who was working hard, and sighed softly.

"Are you dating that girl?"

"No, they're just friends. This outing was just an invitation from a friend."

"Friends...a girl wouldn't go out with a strange boy..."

Akiyama Hitomi didn't say the last sentence aloud; she kept it to herself. She didn't want to cause any misunderstandings, and only felt sorry for Nakamura Nanami in her heart.

"You haven't answered my question yet."

Seeing that Akiyama Hitomi had suddenly fallen silent, Ye Ziye couldn't help but ask again.

"It depends on the person. If a middle-aged man invites me, I won't go anywhere, but if you, Ye Zijun, invite me, I'll go anywhere."

"It's just about the person..."

From Hitomi Akiyama's apt, but somewhat uncomfortable, metaphor, Ye Ziye discerned the underlying meaning.

He figured that Kato Megumi wouldn't mind going out with him, otherwise she wouldn't have accepted his invitation, which meant he didn't need to worry about this anymore.

Having grasped the essence of the matter, Ye Ziye remained silent and continued with her work.

He received good advice from Hitomi Akiyama, and at least he no longer needed to worry about it; he could simply wait quietly for Sunday to arrive.

Chapter 113

The arrival of night is always so silent, as if there is no interval between it and the time of sunset, catching people off guard.

In this world, there are far more people who like daylight than those who like night. Ye Ziye is also someone who likes daylight; he prefers the warm sunlight to the cool moonlight.

It was nearly 8:30 PM, and it was already dark outside. The pet cafe was empty of customers, and a "Do Not Disturb" sign was hung outside.

However, Ye Ziye hasn't gone home yet; instead, she's teaching Nakamura Nanami how to make coffee.

If there's only a little time after school and before the business opens each day, then the efficiency is a bit too slow, so Ye Ziye decided to take some time after get off work each day to teach Nakamura Nanning.

His teaching session was coming to an end, and it was getting late, so he needed to hurry home to cook dinner for Artoria.

That's enough for today. I'll teach you again tomorrow.

"Yes, Master!"

Nakamura Nanning's face was beaming with a smile, his big eyes narrowed into slits, making him seem incredibly approachable.

She felt that Ye Ziye was an incredibly kind person, who actually used his off-get off work time to teach her about coffee, and he was very gentle and spoke slowly. Sometimes she would be so engrossed in his teaching that she would forget to study.

After untying Ye Ziye's apron, Nakamura Nanning dashed back to the staff break room, then ran out again, his own apron gone.

"Are you done?"

Kudo Nami, who had just finished feeding the cats in the shop, stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked, "If these two are done, I'll close up shop and go home."

"Yes, it's finished, Nami-nee!"

With Nakamura Nanami there, Ye Ziye didn't need to explain. He nodded to Kudo Nami and left the pet cafe, worried that Artoria would be getting impatient.

As for the store manager, Kudo Nami, she was already used to it. It was enough that the lovely Nakamura Nanami said goodbye to her. She didn't need this guy, Ye Ziye!

"Nami-nee, I'll head home now."

"Okay, drive carefully."

"I will!"

After giving a spirited reply, Nakamura Nanami left the pet cafe without looking back. She was half an hour late getting home today, and she was worried that her mother would be concerned.

Looking at the now completely empty pet cafe, Kudo Nami sighed softly and stretched lazily without any regard for her image. The difficult Monday was over, and the beautiful Sunday was just around the corner.

Walking leisurely down the brightly lit street, Ye Ziye was reflecting on everything that had happened that day.

But after thinking it over, nothing happened today. There were no new requests, no new games in the student council, and everything seemed so ordinary. But it was this ordinariness that made Ye Ziye feel at ease.

He could clearly feel that he was an ordinary person, and that he was no exception in the new world, just an ordinary person.

In a fairly good mood, Ye Ziye took the tram back home. The small building was still quiet; at least, after living here for so long, he still didn't know any of his neighbors.

Ye Ziye took out his house key and pushed the door open gently, without making a sound, as was his habit.

Artoria wasn't lost the whole time; she's home now, wearing a nightgown with a lion pattern, playing with Garfield on the balcony.

The girl's profile was beautiful, and her gorgeous blonde hair looked even more stunning under the moonlight.

In terms of looks alone, Artoria is no less attractive than any of the girls around Ye Ziye.

Moreover, this girl has a very pure heart, and her emerald green eyes seem to be able to see the sins in other people's hearts, so Ye Ziye rarely makes eye contact with Artoria.

He hadn't done anything wrong; he just didn't quite appreciate those incredibly pure eyes.

Ye Ziye didn't know how to describe that feeling. If she really had to describe it, she could only use beautiful things to describe it, like the Virgin Mary, like a white dove that represents peace.

"Ye Zi Jun, you're back!"

As a swordsman, Artoria had very keen hearing and quickly discovered Ye Ziye's presence, her eyes revealing surprise.

It wasn't because she liked Ye Ziye, but because she could finally eat. Dinner was half an hour late today, and she was already starving. She could only distract herself by playing with Garfield.
