There is something wrong with my infinite flow teammates!

"This book may be cut short. This news should be confirmed by Fuzugawa in a few days. From your first question, I can see that you have already guessed this result. Are you sure you still want to buy it?"

The boss looked a little surprised: "Are you a fan of Teacher Kasumi Shiko?"

"Hmm..." Kitahara Sora stroked his chin and thought for a while: "What do you think is the point of the first volume of this book that attracts so many fans?"

The boss was stunned, not knowing what this high school-looking boy meant.

From his first sentence, the boss subconsciously thought that the boy should also be the author. People who deliberately come to take advantage of others' misfortune are not worthy of respect, so he didn't treat him well.

Only if one is also a creator will not look at a novel entirely from the reader's perspective. He will analyze the pros and cons of the book from a professional perspective, and even estimate the value of the book in his heart.

That's why his first sentence was to express the doubt about why the book was 'finally taken off the shelves', which shows that he had guessed the future of the book long ago.

But the boy's subsequent explanation makes it clear that he is not an author.

Then again, judging by the sales of this book, who can regard it as a competitor? As a light novel author who regards this book as a competitor, how dare you come here and mock it?

Therefore, he only read the first volume very patiently from the perspective of a reader. He wanted to buy it even though he knew that there was a great possibility that the book would be cut short. So he must have understood the advantages of this book and is a die-hard fan.

But although the guy's next words were indifferent, the boss still heard a hint of disdain and mockery in them. Would a die-hard fan expect his favorite novel to be taken off the shelves in a mocking tone?

But you have read this book carefully and found it to have some bright spots. You also know that the book is poorly written in the early stages and is likely to be a story without an ending. But why do you still show a desire to buy it?

"Will it be sold or not?"

Beiyuankong frowned slightly without getting a response, feeling a little impatient. As a basic business ethics, this boss is too "conscientious", right? I like eunuchs, and you want to control it?

"No, this book has been removed from our store from now on," he said, changing the subject and suddenly smiling, "but if the customer really likes it, I can give you a copy."

Then, the boss shook his head helplessly, put the stack of light novels in front of his chest on the counter, picked up the top one and handed it to Kitahara Sora and sighed.

"I've been running the store for so many years, but this is the first time I've encountered something like this. Sigh."

"The boss is friends with the author? Or do they have a good relationship?" Kitahara Sora suddenly laughed cheerfully, as if he had encountered something interesting. Although his tone sounded like he was laughing, his expression was still that of a dead person.

"Hey, do you want it?"

The boss subconsciously glanced at the girl at the door again, and his tone suddenly became impatient. Ever since the novel was put on the shelves, the girl would come to the store almost every weekend, and it would be hard to imagine that they were not familiar with each other after half a year.

She is a high school student, and this guy actually said that he is friends with her. I can't say such nonsense. I have a family, and I will be in trouble if any bad news comes out. I just feel sorry for her!

The debut work of a beautiful high school student writer who worked hard on it, only sold a few hundred copies of the first volume in three months.

She didn't know how she did it. Even though the sales of the first volume were so terrible, she actually persuaded the publishing house to produce a second volume. In a sense, it was quite impressive.

Among all the bookstores in Akihabara, my bookstore was actually the last to remove this book from the shelves. Other places had already removed it from the shelves as soon as the news that "Love Metronome" might be cancelled came out!

But sympathy aside, no matter how much she begs me today, I have to take the products off the shelves and return them to the printing company. After all, I am still doing business.

The child was sitting at the door of his shop in a daze, and he was already giving her a huge favor by not chasing her away.

"Hehe, so the one at the door is teacher Kasumi Shiko?"

Following the boss's gaze, Kitahara Sora turned his head to glance at the girl's back behind the glass door. He immediately felt particularly amused and smacked his lips, "Too miserable."

The boss was stunned again when he heard Kitahara Sora's cheerful tone. He didn't seem to have said anything about the author. At most, he just mentioned her pen name, which was also printed on the cover.

Just based on the words "Beautiful High School Student Writer" on the cover, which was a gimmick to increase sales, and the fact that I glanced at the poor girl at the door out of pity, can we infer that the child is the author?

impossible?

You said you're not a die-hard fan, but even if you were a die-hard fan, you wouldn't know who the author of this book is? In fact, you already knew she was the author!

stalker?

When the boss picked up the phone and was hesitating whether to call the police, Kitahara Sora picked up one of the beautifully packaged light novels, took out a thousand yen bill from his pocket and put it on the counter. Without asking for change, he turned around and left.

He stepped past the girl at the door, but didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye. Poor teacher Kasumi Shiko was ignored like air.

However, the girl seemed to have come back to her senses. Her red eyes were fixed on the back of the handsome boy. She slowly stood up but staggered and almost fell.

My legs became numb from holding one position for too long.

0 Chapter 11 Kasumi Shiko

In fact, Kitahara Sora didn’t know why he suddenly came to Akihabara. Just treat it as the previous idea, to fulfill his dream.

Well, that's right.

When I came here half a year ago, I was in a daze, looking for information everywhere to prove my existence. I didn’t have the chance to go shopping when I came to Tokyo yesterday. It took me until the afternoon just to deal with Hui’s affairs.

When I really decided to take a serious look around here, I found that this holy place that I had longed for in my previous life was actually like this.

Because I no longer have the heart to watch anime. Maybe it’s because I saw all kinds of familiar anime characters on this street, but the only thing I didn’t see was the two-dimensional images of Yukino and Megumi?

And after the interesting incident just now, Kitahara Sora's mood has actually improved a lot, and he even feels a little happy.

It turns out that Xia Laofei's three-dimensional image is so beautiful, plump and sexy, especially the pair of thighs wrapped in black stockings. They are so plump and tender that you can feel like you can squeeze water out of them just by looking at them.

In fact, at first, I didn't know that the beautiful girl with a "stray dog" look was Kasumigaoka Utaha, although her clothes were very similar to those in the anime, with a white headband, long straight black hair, and a white dress.

But there are not so many messy eye colors in the three-dimensional world, so the original burgundy pupils naturally turned into the normal black color of Asians.

It was only from the information inadvertently revealed by the boss that I confirmed that it was Xia Laofei.

She is actually quite persistent, and has a spirit of not fearing death and not admitting defeat, as can be seen from her pursuit of Akitomo Aki in the original anime.

So when the sales of his novels were dismal, he still persisted in going to various comic shops in Akihabara every weekend, and even if the sales were terrible, he still maintained his utmost stubbornness.

Try to get close to the boss and hope to put your book in the most conspicuous position.

Such a pretty girl can achieve this. In fact, many bosses admire her, but only a few of them accept her request. The comic book store just now is one of them.

But what if it is placed in the most conspicuous place?

After trying for a few days, I finally moved her book from the most popular position to the corner. Readers would just flip through a few pages and stop reading. After all, I want to run a business, and I can't put "toilet paper" in the most conspicuous place.

Reality is reality, and studying hard is the right option!

If you just love it, then don't care about grades. As a student, and a newcomer at that, it's too difficult to make a name for yourself in Japan, the battlefield of the gods of light novels!

That guy who 'makes you happy and makes you sad' is dead, and your novel is doomed, there is no hope of saving it.

She had been squatting just now, and Kitahara Sora could only see her sexy thighs, but her breasts still did not disappoint. With this figure, as a high school student, she is definitely a sexy and hot beauty.

In fact, he didn't want to fully appreciate the girl's figure, but there was no other way. She was sitting opposite him, staring at him with eyes as if she wanted to eat him.

Well... Although he looked very unconvinced, his eyes were red and his momentum was naturally reduced a bit.

"Master, this is the omelette rice of love... The rice is mixed with my most sincere love~ Master, please eat it well~"

The maid suppressed her shyness and her voice was so delicate that it made Kitahara Sora tremble all over. After the girl put the omelette rice she ordered on the table, she began her shameful performance.

Judging from the looks of it, she's only in high school, but she's working hard to earn money. Aren't you afraid of being seen by your classmates?

“Now, Xiao Mi… let me cast love, love on my master…” Her face flushed, as if she had made up her mind. She took a deep breath and said, “The magic of love!!!, slurp…”

Hey, if you can’t do it, don’t do it. I’m not forcing you!

Well, I should have known not to come to this kind of store. The look from Kasumigaoka across the street who looked at us as scumbags can actually be ignored. The main thing is that the service in this maid restaurant is so shameful.

It's okay in the two-dimensional world, but in the three-dimensional world, experiencing this kind of service that gives you goosebumps in person always makes you feel numb in your bones. Even though Xiaomian is actually not bad looking, you always feel guilty for forcing her.

After scooping a spoonful of omelette rice into his mouth, Kitahara Sora frowned. The taste was average, far worse than what Suzune made, and more than twice as expensive as that in ordinary restaurants.

The extra service fee is probably the 'magic of love'... It's so easy to make money from otakus.

"So, Teacher Kasumi Shiko, you followed me just to watch me eat?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha did not say anything, she remained silent and stared at Kitahara Sora. In fact, she was overwhelmed by great anger and grievance, and was also vaguely unwilling.

She listened to the entire conversation between Kitahara Sora and the boss, so it was bad enough that this guy came to buy his book which was destined to be cut short, but he also said those words. Isn't this disgusting?

"Ah, this book is finally going to be cut short?"

'Is that the author at the door? How pitiful! Give her a little tip, so I'll buy a copy.'

Deep humiliation...

The maid just now was definitely on her first day at work, and she had been called to the kitchen by the foreman to be reprimanded, because anyone with eyes could see the state of the girl sitting opposite this handsome boy.

No matter what the relationship is, you still run over and say "love" in such a tense situation? The girl was very polite for not kicking you twice.

Although you are courageous, good at breaking through yourself, and have an absolutely positive attitude towards work.

So, when another maid who looked a little more mature placed a piece of mousse cake in front of Kasumigaoka, the maid just said the name of the food and smiled apologetically.

In this situation, even an apology is unnecessary. This is the style of experienced service staff!

"I'm just a strange reader, I don't have any other thoughts."

Kitahara Sora stuffed rice into his mouth while explaining, "I guessed your true identity because I was just smarter? - So this piece of cake is just an apology. I didn't mean to insult you."

"Well... let's do this."

Beiyuan Kong suddenly took out his cell phone, dialed the police number, and raised the phone so that the girl on the other side could see it, and was about to press the dial button...

"Oh!"

Kitahara Sora put away his phone and shook his head helplessly. Seeing her slamming the table in anger, he probably guessed that he was not a stalker. The plate of mousse cake was blown two centimeters high. Even if your hand doesn't hurt, you should at least consider the surrounding environment.

You successfully attracted the attention of all the guests. Xiao Mi-chan who was not far away was almost scared to tears. Seeing them whispering to each other, she thought I was a scumbag.

"Well, if you need me to apologize, I can sincerely apologize to you. If not, then please tell me what you want. I'm not from Tokyo, and I will leave here by four o'clock at the latest. If you have nothing to do, please find something else to do. Please don't waste your time."

Seeing that she was still looking at him with a scrutinizing look, Bei Yuan Kong finally got a little annoyed. He stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice and was about to raise his arm to pay the bill when the girl opposite him slowly spoke.

But his voice was a little hoarse: "What's the problem?"

"Please advise?" Kitahara Sora frowned slightly. "So where do you get the confidence to ask questions with such an aggressive attitude? Or is it because of your sense of superiority as a creator?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was trying hard to suppress her anger, suddenly froze, as if she was putting on a mask of pain.

Seeing her like this, Kitahara Sora was also stunned. This guy has too strong self-esteem. He actually just subconsciously said that the one at the door was Kasumi Shiko, and sighed that she was so pitiful.

In fact, I regretted it as soon as I said it, so I left in a hurry without even looking at her, as if I had a guilty conscience.

After all, many people have experienced the embarrassment of talking bad about someone behind their back and then the person in question is standing behind you.

Although what he said was not bad, it was very uncomfortable for the person concerned to hear such malicious attacks on the failed authors whose books were forcibly cut off by the authorities.

After realizing that the girl at the door who looked like she had lost her soul was the famous "licker Xia", I actually thought it was quite interesting and suddenly said that sentence on a whim.

After all, in the anime "Boyfriend", I met several important characters except Eriri within a few days, which is quite interesting in a sense.

The reason I wanted to buy that book was just for fun. The first thing I bought when I came to this world was the first volume of "Love Metronome". Although it was a spur of the moment decision, it was interesting. I thought it was interesting so I wanted to collect it...

After all, the genuine "passerby heroine" is in his team, even though she was tortured to death yesterday.

So I didn't mean to 'stop a woman and torture her' on the street. Even if you were Xia Laofei, I wouldn't want to torture you.

Looking at Kasumigaoka's stubborn expression full of pain and unwillingness, wanting to apologize but unable to do so, Kitahara Sora actually felt a little distressed.

After all, as a reader, you have to accept the complaints about your book, right? Readers are your fathers, what else can you do? If you cause dissatisfaction among readers and then slam the table, well... you are just a girl...

Oh, forget it. I liked you very much in the past. As a girl from the second dimension, I also felt deeply that it was not worth it for you. I just think it was my own fault. Anyway, we will never meet again in the future.

"Teacher Kasumi Shiko."

Kitahara Sora spoke helplessly, looking at the girl opposite him and said seriously: "Tell me about your novel. I actually think it's pretty good."

Kasumigaoka Utaha widened her eyes, not understanding why the extremely arrogant guy opposite her suddenly changed his attitude by 180 degrees.

She stared deeply at the handsome boy opposite her, her slender willow-shaped eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and finally she took a deep breath and adjusted her mood.

"Excuse me, what is your name?"

"This is not important." Kitahara Sora shook her head slightly, and her opinion of her changed a little. She still used honorifics to the readers who "humiliated" her, at least showing a proper attitude as a creator.

Perhaps she had accurately grasped a few key points from the few words that I had unintentionally used to "insult" her. I had read her book carefully and knew where her problem lay.

That's why she endured the humiliation and followed him, wanting to know the reason, but she was just too proud.

"I am just a stranger reader. Let me tell you what I think of your book."

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded slowly, forced a smile, gently picked up the spoon on the table, scooped a spoonful of mousse cake into her mouth.

Quite sweet.

Chapter 12: A Bit Salty

"I can actually guess your mental state. Your work, which you have poured your most sincere efforts into, has been devalued by others. And you can suppress your inner grief and anger even when being ridiculed in person. Your decision to face the problem head-on is commendable."

Kitahara Sora raised his hand and asked the maid for two glasses of water before continuing, "At least if it were me, I wouldn't be as strong as you."
