Today happened to be her day to stay behind for duty, and she had originally wanted to finish cleaning early and go home right away.
But just now I happened to hear a group of people outside talking about some ghost topic.
Being sensitive to this kind of information, Yotsuya Miko quickly stuck his head out and looked at the few people.
Even Yotsuya Miko, who was in the next class, was not unfamiliar with the group including Natsukawa, Hayama and others. After all, they were all influential figures among the freshmen on campus.
Although she had heard of these people from the next class, she had never communicated with them or even met them.
Ever since she had problems with her eyes, she basically stayed in the classroom at school except for special reasons, and went home immediately after school.
And this was her first time to secretly take a peek at the top group in the academy.
But compared to these so-called interpersonal divisions, she was more concerned about Xia Chuan who was surrounded by everyone at this time.
In her eyes that could see through the spirit world, Xia Chuan was emitting an extremely terrifying energy.
Under her gaze, the little evil spirits attracted by the energy appeared, and then the little evil spirits rushed towards the energy aura like moths to a flame, and turned into powder in an instant after touching the energy.
"Amazing!"
Yotsuya couldn't help but exclaim when he saw him.
So she listened carefully to the laughter coming from the front.
I couldn't help but murmur: "Is he that Xia Chuan?"
04: Kasumi Shiko Book Signing Event
Saturday morning.
According to his usual living habits, he would get up even later.
But thinking of Kasumigaoka Utaha's first autograph session, Natsukawa got up early.
After washing up and having a meal, we packed our bags and headed for our destination.
After coming to this chain bookstore under the Busuigawa Bunko.
Natsukawa also saw the line of people waiting for Kasumi Shiko's autograph session to begin.
I don't know if it's because he came early.
The surroundings were relatively deserted, with the number of people being no different from that of an ordinary bookstore.
Only this autograph signing line was relatively lively, but there were only about sixty or seventy people. Including those who might come later, it was estimated that there would be at least two to three hundred people.
In this regard, Xiachuan also understood the extent of Xia Shizi's popularity.
The first volume was so popular that it’s no wonder that the later volumes of the original work were cut short.
You have to know that in the field of light novels, the competitive pressure in Japan is still quite high.
After looking at the team, Xia Chuan turned his attention to the seat at the front.
There sat a black-haired girl with a white headband.
She was wearing a white body-length dress, with elegant manners and dignified temperament, a perfect image of a literary beauty.
Making full use of the inherent advantages of being a female author, while hiding her voluptuous figure under the desk, Kasumigaoka Utaha was now looking at her own signing team.
Although I feel a little disappointed with the number of people.
But after all, they are all her readers, and she can still feel the happiness in her heart.
But when she saw Natsukawa, Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned.
As a second-year student at Sobu High School, she is no stranger to Natsukawa.
After all, even many girls in the class mentioned it, and she happened to see the other person once.
But she didn't expect that this school-famous junior was also her reader? !
Kasumigaoka Utaha was surprised, and inexplicably felt a sense of identification lingering in her heart.
Not long after, with the announcement from the security personnel, the book signing session was about to begin.
The crowd also began to surge in one after another.
It took about ten minutes before we arrived at Xia Chuan's location.
"I didn't expect that Kasumi Shiko would be Kasumigaoka-senpai."
Xia Chuan handed over the "Love Metronome" in his hand and said with a look of surprise.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was not surprised that she was recognized. She was not bragging, she was also a very popular person in Sobu High School.
As for Natsukawa's arrival, Kasumigaoka Utaha had been looking forward to it for a long time.
She took the book handed to her by Xia Chuan, only to find that unlike the others, this Love Metronome was obviously a little old, as if it had been read many times.
When Kasumigaoka Utaha saw this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"I didn't expect to meet a junior from the same school here, and he's such a famous figure."
"I didn't expect that Senior also knew me?"
Xia Chuan exclaimed in surprise and pointed to the front page of the Love Metronome: "Please write your signature here."
"Ah."
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slightly, held the pen in her right hand, and beautiful words soon appeared on it.
At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity to write, Kasumigaoka Utaha whispered, "Natsukawa-san, what do you think of my work?"
"It's good. I've read it several times."
"It's just that it's not perfect after all. I feel that some of the plots are relatively bland and lack some meaning."
Kasumigaoka Utaha, who originally wanted to politely say thank you for your support, fixed her eyes upon hearing this.
He lowered his head slightly, suddenly fell into deep thought, and then raised his head again.
"Can you tell me what you think is lacking?"
"Then let's wait until the book signing is over and find another opportunity."
Kasumigaoka Utaha also realized the time, but after thinking about it, she still made the invitation.
"In that case, after the book signing is over, can you wait for me for a while, Natsukawa-san?"
She has been suffering from writer's block recently, and editor Machida, like Natsukawa, has pointed out some flaws in her work.
In that case, she just wanted to hear the opinion of this fellow reader.
"Of course there's no problem."
Xia Chuan naturally would not refuse, so he picked up the signed book and left the team.
During this time, he happened to see Tomoya Aki who was standing in line. The other party also happened to notice him, but quickly turned his head away and ignored him.
As if they were born to be incompatible, Xia Chuan didn't pay much attention to it.
Anyway, the fate of Kasumigaoka Utaha was largely intercepted by him, and he did not feel the slightest bit of guilt towards Aki Tomoya.
No...As it stands now, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Aki Tomoya have no social connections, so naturally the one with ability will take the position.
Speaking of Tomoya Aki, Natsukawa thought of Eriri, who was also a top student in the first grade.
...
Although there weren't many people, as Xia Chuan had expected, there were indeed about three hundred people at the signing event. In addition to signing, there was also a certain amount of communication. It took almost a few hours from start to finish.
"It turns out that a book signing is such a troublesome thing."
After the autograph session, Kasumigaoka Utaha in the backstage was lying on the wooden table, looking exhausted and said.
At the book signing event, just signing autographs took up a lot of her energy, not to mention dealing with all kinds of people.
Even Kasumigaoka Utaha, who looked far more outstanding than the average high school student, felt mentally exhausted at this moment.
"Shiyu, this is nothing. When you can hold a bigger book signing event, you might not even be able to lift your hands. I just don't know if there will be another opportunity like this."
Machida Sonoko, a girl with short black hair and a pretty figure, smiled at the side.
Without even looking up, Kasumigaoka Utaha said, "As an editor, it's in keeping with your character to say something like this."
“I’m trying to motivate you.”
Machida Yuanzi emphasized, her eyes full of expectation and encouragement: "Look, many of your fans are here today. You have to work harder for them."
"But I didn't expect that your fans include your classmates, that enthusiastic student with glasses... Of course! And that tall and handsome junior~"
When talking about Natsukawa, Machida Sonoko became visibly excited.
Handsome tall men and the like are a real feast for her eyes.
"Aki and Natsukawa?"
Without thinking about what state Machida Sonoko was in now, Kasumigaoka Utaha thought of the two junior schoolmates who had particularly caught her attention today.
Both of them are fans who support her, but if there is a comparison of impressions, Xia Chuan naturally has the upper hand.
After all, compared to ordinary classmates, it would make people feel more accomplished if school celebrities were her fans.
"Come to think of it, why don't you get up? Someone has been waiting for a long time."
Kasumigaoka Utaha propped herself up and glanced at Machida Sonoko: "Don't worry about it, I know it."
As if she had regained her spirits in an instant, Kasumigaoka Utaha took her small bag and went straight out of the backstage.
05: The first boy who actively added
"Have you waited long?"
In a coffee shop not far away, Xia Chuan was replying to the pictures and content sent by his friends on his mobile phone.
It was not until he heard the voice of Kasumigaoka Utaha that he raised his head slightly.
The first thing that catches your eye is a pair of fleshy legs covered in black stockings, followed by the graceful curves of Kasumigaoka Utaha's figure and then her exquisite appearance.
"It's not nice to stare at a beautiful girl like that."
"Feel sorry."
Xia Chuan smiled and asked the waiter to add more coffee.
"But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, isn't Senior a rare beauty?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha did not deny what she said, and sat down opposite Natsukawa, and also made some personality analysis of this relatively unfamiliar junior in her mind.
After another cup of coffee was ordered and delivered, the steaming hot air filled the sight of both parties, and Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke first.
"Natsukawa-kun, since you call me senior, I will call you junior from now on, how about that?"
She raised her head slightly, held up the medium-sized coffee cup, tasted it with her rosy lips, and said with a hint of smile in her eyes.
"That's naturally no problem."
Xia Chuan didn't mind this kind of address at all, instead it was a step to bring the two sides closer together.
"Then, Junior-kun, let's get back to the point... As you said at the book signing, I want to hear what you think of the "Love Metronome" I wrote, and what parts are lacking?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha asked straight to the point.
For her, she was very touched that Xiachuan came to support her.
But what she cared about at the moment was what Xia Chuan had mentioned earlier about the novel.
She once thought that light novels were a very simple thing, and the first volume was done very beautifully. Being able to attract so many people was already a very good achievement for a newly debuted light novel author.
But this... is far from enough.
Because she is an aloof literary girl, and since she has made up her mind to become a light novel author, she must achieve the best.
The second volume in particular did not perform well, a situation she had never imagined since she started writing novels.
After Xia Chuan swirled the spoon around in the coffee cup for a few times, he slowly spoke:
"Senior Shiyu, Love Metronome is a good masterpiece among light novels. The characters are vivid and the plot setting is also very clever. If it is used as the ending of the first volume, it will be a good work. But if it is postponed further, I don't think it will achieve much success."
When it came to the point that bothered Kasumigaoka Shiyu the most, she didn't even care that the other party directly called her Shiyu-senpai, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Why?"
"Because the emotions between Naoto and Sayuka in the first volume are so rich, it's like a love story that comes naturally."
