Zongman: A Dimensional Journey Starting from Fulilian

So the most important thing right now is to read Kasumigaoka Utaha's novel first.

After walking around for a while and still not seeing anyone he knew, he gave up and found a nearby bookstore. He bought all the light novels and comics that had good-sounding names, nice covers, and were displayed in the bestseller section, as well as the previous volumes.

If you don't start watching it from the beginning, you won't be able to watch it any further.

Fortunately, the light novels and manga he selected were available from the first volume to the latest volume.

After buying, Shichen went back with big and small bags.

On the way back to the station, Shi Chen met the big-bellied men in hats and glasses that he had seen before, but this time their attitude was a little different.

After they saw what Shi Chen was holding, they nodded to him proactively, feeling that they recognized him.

For some reason, I felt proud.

As expected, people in the 2D world don’t judge people by appearance; they only care about whether they have the same interests and hobbies.

Shichen feels honored to belong to this organization.

I didn't make any special effort to make friends, hoping to meet again someday. Shichen took the tram back directly.

When I returned to the coffee shop, it was exactly noon. When Shichen entered the store, he found that there were quite a few customers, and most importantly, they were all men.

Just at this moment, Thor brought out the food, and the guests were obviously happy.

Shichen understood what was going on. Perhaps many people were called over by others.

"Lord Shichen!" Seeing Shichen, Thor walked towards him excitedly and didn't even bother to serve him food.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me help you." Shi Chen put away his bags and took the food from her.

"It's not hard." Thor smiled happily, and his big tail behind him was wagging back and forth.

"You are worthy of being my Thor, you are so capable." Shichen stretched out a hand and rubbed her hair.

"Hehe~ Master Shichen, have you bought anything?"

"Well, I've bought it. I'll take you with me next time."

"That's what we agreed on."

"Okay." Shi Chen shook his head and laughed: "Let's not talk about this for now. Which table should I send this to?"

"Number three."

"OK."

Shichen carried the plate and turned to walk towards table number three, while Thor jumped back to the kitchen.

I was praised by Master Shichen~

Compared to Thor's happiness, the guest at number three was a little unhappy, but Shichen didn't care about them and left after putting the food down.

"Please enjoy."

It's normal for customers to come for Thor. After all, she is so cute and a dragon maid. Just don't have any bad intentions.

He wasn't worried about Thor anyway, he just didn't want his mood to be ruined.

People who act out of brutality or shamelessness are always annoying, and if there really are such people, he doesn't mind getting rid of them for the people.

He would have to experience this kind of thing sooner or later as he kept traveling to different worlds, so it would be better to be prepared in advance.

But by then, Thor will need to help clean up the situation. Shichen can't do it by himself, and he still wants to live a comfortable life in this world.

I don’t know why, but the people who come to the coffee shop are all very well-mannered. It’s just that because they love beauty, they can’t control their eyes.

The time doesn't matter.

It would be too overbearing to not even let them watch.

The day ended quickly, but Kasumigaoka Utaha did not come.

In the evening, Shi Chen tidied up his study before taking a shower. After taking a shower, he went directly to the study to read the novel written by Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Although I understand some of it, most of it is still unclear.

After the study was filled, there was a special atmosphere for reading novels, and I quickly got into the mood, but this was also related to Kasumigaoka Utaha's novels.

I have to say that her writing style is really good. It is very comfortable to read, and it feels like I am not reading a light novel.

The first novel of a newcomer is always full of original intentions. It breaks away from the template and routine of novels and contains only what the author wants to convey.

I was so immersed in the story of the novel that I finished it before I knew it. It was only one volume, so it didn't take much time.

The story was indeed similar to what he knew, but he planned to read it again tomorrow, maybe he would have a different feeling about it.

After calming down for a while, Shichen closed his notebook and went back to his room to prepare for bed. However, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Thor.

"Master Shichen, go to bed, the bed is already warm."

"......Why are you here again? We don't want to sleep together tonight!" Shi Chen said in a firm tone.

"But Master Shichen, you made me suffer so much today, can't you stay with me for another night?"

"..."

"Can we spend the last night together?" Thor begged coquettishly.

"...It's the last night."

"Uh-huh!"

Chapter 19 Kasumi Shiko

A new week has begun, but Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't come on Monday afternoon either.

Shichen read her novel twice that day, and now he could talk freely with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

But on Tuesday afternoon, he still didn't see her.

How could I bear it so much?

Shi Chen was not in a hurry. He felt that Kasumigaoka Utaha must be much more anxious than him.

As an author, how could she not want to know his views and comments as soon as possible? Maybe she is too nervous to do so now, but sooner or later she will not be able to help herself.

In fact, this is true. Kasumigaoka Utaha has not slept well in the past two days.

After handing the novel and the notebook to Shichen on Saturday, she returned home and started to get nervous. She was so nervous that she didn't go to bed until late at night.

She clearly didn't think she was a person who got nervous easily. After all, whether she was giving the opening speech at school or giving a speech on stage, she was calm and showed no emotion at all.

I'm not afraid in front of so many people, so how could I be so nervous just because a book fan read my novel?

But she couldn't find any other reason.

Maybe this is how it feels like the first time.

No matter what the first time is, it will be nervous and exciting, let alone writing a novel, which is a way to express your fantasies and thoughts.

It feels a bit like a public execution.

This is the only excuse Kasumigaoka Utaha can find for herself.

It's normal. She's just a young high school girl. She's not very experienced in the world, so it's not surprising that she's nervous.

Although she thought so, she still went to bed a little late on Sunday night and had a dream.

It wasn't a weird dream, but I dreamed that after meeting Shichen, his novel was criticized in various ways and was completely worthless.

So much so that when she woke up, she didn't want to go to school.

That means she is mentally strong.

But because of this, she still didn't find the time during the two days of school. Until Wednesday, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

What is there to be afraid of when it comes to your work, your work that was created with your own inspiration, and your writing style that you are quite confident in?

At worst, I can just stop writing novels.

With this determination, Kasumigaoka Utaha came to the coffee shop after school.

Standing in front of the door, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but hesitate again, but she still took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Welcome... Kasumigaoka-san, you are finally here." As soon as Shichen saw Kasumigaoka Utaha, he smiled and teased.

Kasumigaoka Utaha rolled her eyes at him, but the tension in her heart inexplicably eased a lot.

"I thought you would take a few days to come." Shi Chen continued to tease her.

"Why should I come here after a few days?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked calmly.

"What do you think?" Shi Chen blinked.

"Hmph~ You don't think I'm scared to come here, do you?" Kasumigaoka Utaha asked with disdain, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Is not it?"

"Of course not. Why should I be afraid? What am I afraid of? I just happen to have something to do these few days."

"I see. So you're not not coming because you're worried that I won't think your novel is good?"

"Of course not. I am still very confident in my novels."

"Okay." Shi Chen shook his head and laughed.

"What's so funny?" Kasumigaoka Utaha frowned and glared at him fiercely.

"No, I was just wondering what you've been busy with lately, Kasumigaoka. You only came today, but I've been waiting for you for several days." Shi Chen said at the end with a strange tone.

"......" Kasumigaoka Utaha finally couldn't control herself and stared at him with a red face in embarrassment.

"Haha~ I won't tease you anymore. Go sit in your special seat first. I'll prepare some drinks and cookies for you."

"That novel..."

"Don't worry, I've already finished reading it, and I've read it three times. Wait for me."

"Read it three times?" Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression froze.

"Afraid?"

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned and walked towards her own exclusive seat.
