Author: Second Battalion Commander

Summary:

My name is Kaede Asakura, I'm 17 years old and I live in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I'm a sophomore at Toyosaki Gakuen and I work part-time as a light novel writer. I don't smoke or drink, I go to bed at 11pm and sleep 8 hours a day...

"Feng, where are the snacks?"

"...Before going to bed, I must drink a glass of warm milk and do 20 minutes of stretching exercises..."

"Hurry up, I'm hungry! Come and help me after you get the food! And you are not allowed to take the milk!!!"

"..."

"When I get to bed, I fall asleep immediately and sleep through the night without any fatigue or stress..."

"Asakura Kaede!!! Come and help me! I can't meet the deadline, so don't even think about taking a break tonight! And don't play Kira Yoshikage's self-introduction over there!!!!"

The above is my daily life with my cartoonist girlfriend.

Volume One

Chapter 1 A little surprise at the fan exhibition (new book please collect!!)

The Winter Fan Expo is the biggest event in the ACG circle in Tokyo at the end of each year. Countless people come here to participate at this time, buy fan books, buy peripherals, watch COSERS, and experience the last carnival of the year.

Inside the venue, a young man was walking among the crowd, carrying a special shopping bag in one hand and a coat he had taken off in the other.

Although he is only 16 years old, he has grown to a height of 18 meters and does not look too young in the crowd. The mature clothing he has specially chosen also allows him to move calmly among the + stalls.

"Well, the quality of this fan exhibition is really high. There are even fan books that are not about the new animation."

Looking down at the shopping bag in his hand, Asakura Kaede's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.

Asakura Kaede is a reborn time traveler who just celebrated her 16th birthday a month ago and will be entering high school in April next year.

Today is also a rare day off. After asking my family for permission, I finally got the opportunity to come to the fan exhibition alone.

"Luckily my parents are open-minded enough, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to come."

After sighing, he came to a stall, looked for a while, and bought a Sword Art Online fan book.

Well, the pure love ones, with Kirito and Asuna as the male and female protagonists. Although he also wanted to find some about Suguha, there were very few pure love stories, so he had to give up reluctantly.

There is no way. He is not a brother of Gong Bar, and he does not want just social security, so let's forget about those styles of works.

And not only him, even his father is a pure love warrior. As one of the conditions for coming here, Asakura Feng is also very clear about it.

After paying and putting his fanfiction book into the shopping bag, he continued walking forward. He had already visited all the stalls that he had planned to visit in advance, so he would just have to rely on his luck for the next few hours.

While walking around, looking at the cosplayers who passed by from time to time, Asakura Feng did not take out the SLR camera he had saved up to buy to take pictures.

Because, when he was outside the venue before, he had already photographed many well-known cosplayers, and both the quality of the cosplayers and the quality of the costumes were much better than those of the amateur cosplayers visiting the exhibition inside.

As he walked, he passed by a fairly large fan club.

"Egoistic-lily... Is this the club of Kashiwagi Eri-sensei? Let's go check out some doujin games."

When he arrived at the stall, Asakura Feng first looked around the busy staff resting behind the booth. After not seeing the expected characters, he picked up a popular doujin game and paid for it readily.

“Thank you for your patronage!”

After the cashier gave the change, she saw that Asakura Kaede was a very handsome and good-looking boy, so she smiled and greeted him, "Sir, would you like to take a look at the new fanfiction that our teacher Kashiwagi Eri has released? There are not many left!"

After hearing the other party's words, Asakura Feng looked at the fan fiction books stacked together.

However, after seeing the girl on the cover who was tied up in a strange way with ropes and had a humiliated expression on her face, Asakura Feng smiled politely and shook her head: "Thank you for your recommendation, but due to different personal preferences, I can't support Kashiwagi Eri this time."

"Is that so? That's really regrettable."

She was not surprised by Asakura Kaede's rejection. After all, Kashiwagi Eri's doujin style was well-known. Although the style of painting was excellent and very practical, not everyone liked this style.

The little brother in front of me seems to be a pure love warrior.

After thanking the young lady who recommended the doujinshi to him again, Asakura Feng left the egoistic-lily booth and headed towards the next destination.

An hour and a half later, Asakura Kaede, who had almost finished shopping, was ready to leave.

Looking at the fan books and games stuffed in his bag, he said with satisfaction, "Well... I gained a lot this time, and I spent a lot of money. Fortunately, I saved a lot of money from my royalties. On the way back, I'll go see if there are any new console games I can buy."

Just as he was walking out, a figure came towards him quickly, and because of the slightly crowded crowd here, his shoulder bumped into Asakura Kaede's.

"Oh!"

The shopping bag in his hand fell directly to the ground.

At the same time, he bumped into a girl, and the shopping bag in her hand fell down at the same time.

Before she could even open her mouth, the girl in sunglasses said directly: "Sorry, I'm in a hurry!"

After saying that, he looked down at the two identical special shopping bags, and found that the fan book he bought had fallen out of one of them. He immediately picked it up, apologized again, and trotted away.

"Uh... is it really that urgent?"

However, since the other party apologized first, Asakura Feng didn't take it to heart. Besides, there were many people around, so he quickly picked up the shopping bag and continued to walk out of the venue.

After leaving the venue, I went to a nearby game store, but after finding there were no games I wanted to buy, I took the train back home.

"I am back!"

While changing into slippers, Asakura Feng shouted towards home.

"Xiao Feng is back? Did you have fun today?"

A gentle female voice was heard, and then Asakura Feng saw his mother walking out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding a spatula in her hand.

"Yeah, it's not bad, it's quite lively."

Looking around the living room, he asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Your dad is in the study upstairs. Go back to your room, change your clothes and take a rest. You can finish your meal soon!"

"Ok."

He walked up to the second floor in slippers, threw his coat into the room, then came to the study, knocked on the door and walked in.

In the study, a man wearing glasses was sitting in front of a computer, but he was not busy with work, but playing StarCraft.

Compared to StarCraft, Asakura Feng still prefers playing League of Legends. After coming in, he said directly: "Dad, I'm back. I want the fan book you asked for."

"Shhh!!!"

The man immediately paused the game, raised his finger at Asakura Kaede, and whispered, "Don't let your mother know!"

"..."

Do you really think she doesn't know?

Without thinking of explaining to his father, Asakura Feng walked over, put the shopping bag on the table and said, "Come on, it's time to divide the spoils... huh?"

Opening the shopping bag, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"what happened?"

Asakura Takaichi came over and also found that the style of the fan work he took out was a little bit wrong.

"Master Craftsman Shi Gui? When did you change your taste, son?"

“I didn’t buy this!”

Asakura Kaede put the fan book back in an instant, and recalled the scene where he bumped into someone in the venue before.

Damn it, what should I do?

Chapter 2 Convenience Store on the Road

Looking up and meeting his father's suspicious eyes, Asakura Feng sweated profusely.

No, I must explain it carefully, otherwise if my dad doesn't keep his mouth shut and my mom finds out about it, I won't be able to clear myself of the blame even if I jump into the Yellow River!

Then, Asakura Kaede instantly used high-speed chanting to recount what happened at the fan exhibition.

With his arms folded, Asakura Takaichi nodded after listening and said, "So, you bumped into someone at the fan convention, and the two of you happened to have the same shopping bag, so the other person took the wrong one?"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Do you think I will believe it?" Asakura Takaichi suddenly changed the subject and looked at his son, his tone full of doubt, "Don't you feel there is something wrong with holding something you bought yourself?"

"..."

Asakura Feng was also stunned, scratched his head, picked up the bag and weighed it, then said with a helpless expression: "What a coincidence, it's about the same weight as my bag, plus there were many people around at that time, so I didn't feel it."

As he said this, he was afraid that his father would not believe him, so he took out everything inside and counted them one by one.

Except for the three books that I bought myself, the other fan books are of different types, including those about bondage, humiliation, etc., and they are all works by well-known fan artists in the industry.

Originally, Asakura Feng thought that the girl he bumped into before, whose face he didn't see clearly, might have bought a fan fiction book of the BL type, but he didn't expect that what he saw was much more exciting than BL.

After counting, Asakura Feng put everything back and said softly, "Fifteen books. I bought thirteen books plus a doujin game. The weight is just about the same. I should have checked it after picking it up."

Seeing his son's reaction, Asakura Takaichi also believed that the other party was not talking nonsense.

Patting his son on the head, he suggested, "How about you go to the exhibition again tomorrow? There should be a broadcasting station there, right? We should be able to find the person by broadcasting. After all, the other party will surely realize that he has taken the wrong person."

Asakura Feng nodded, thinking that this was the only way.

At this time, my mother's voice came from outside, saying that dinner was ready.

Asakura Feng immediately took the things in his hand back to his room and put them away. He couldn't let his mother find out. She had already agreed to let him go to the fan exhibition. Even if he explained clearly that he took the wrong things, it would not be good.

After dinner, Asakura Kaede returned to her bedroom, turned on her computer, and started her work for the day.

In addition to going to another fan exhibition tomorrow, I also have to go to the Fuzugawa Library to deliver the new volume of the novel.

That's right, since he is a time traveler, it is necessary for him to be a plagiarist. Asakura Feng has many hobbies, especially games. Although his family does not restrict his hobbies, Asakura Feng also hopes to buy them with his own money.

However, in order to become a light novel writer, he also put in a lot of effort.

After all, he said he wanted to be a plagiarist, but he didn't have a photographic memory. If he only had an outline, he wouldn't be able to write a complete work.

Therefore, he started reading various books to accumulate knowledge since elementary school, and did not start writing until junior high school. Finally, he made his successful debut in February of this year.

As for his debut work, it was a work he loved very much in his previous life, "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World", abbreviated as Soqing.

Traveling to another world is a theme that will never go out of style. As long as the story is interesting and not too cliché, and the characters are well designed, sales will generally not be too bad, let alone Suqing.

Although I don’t remember the story very clearly, fortunately I still remember some of it. After all, as a light-hearted and funny work, many of the plots can be said to be deeply ingrained in my DNA.

Relying on the vague memories in his mind and his own accumulation over the years, Asakura Kaede finally wrote a new Suqing and successfully submitted it. After gaining the favor of the editor, it was successfully published and sold very well.

With a stable source of income, Asakura Kaede's life became gradually easier, and she could try various things that interested her.

"Ah, just typing is really tiring."

With a pocky in his mouth, Asakura Feng tapped on the keyboard with his hands, estimating how much he could write before going to bed.

Then at 11 o'clock, I went to bed on time. I encountered a lot of things today, so I didn't play games.

And just after Asakura Kaede fell asleep, in another luxurious villa in Tokyo, a young girl looked at the fan fiction books placed in front of her, grabbed her hair with both hands, and shouted loudly.

"Ahh!!! This is screwed!!!"

.............

The next day, because it was a rest day, Asakura Feng slept a little longer. After getting up, eating some breakfast, saying goodbye to his parents, he went out.

The first goal, of course, is to go to the fan exhibition first.

On the way to the station, I passed a convenience store. After thinking for a while, I walked in and prepared to buy a bottle of drink to drink on the way.

After choosing and choosing, I finally chose the Fat House Happy Water, which was iced.

Drinking ice cola in winter brings double the happiness!

Humming a song, Asakura Feng was about to pay, and then he saw an interesting scene at the cashier counter.

A boy in casual clothes, about the same height as himself, was also holding his wallet to pay the bill. However, Asakura Feng saw that the cashier opposite him was extremely nervous and was even shaking.
