"But I have some things to do later, so I shouldn't be able to accompany you there."

"But I should show up on time in the afternoon~"

······

After breakfast, Shirai Mio went back to her home. After all, it was a book signing, so she needed to make some preparations.

Rita, who was doing nothing at first, saw that Mio Shirai's hair had turned black again and she had put on the clothes she had worn at the comiket before. She couldn't help but asked curiously: "Where are you going?"

"It's a book signing, didn't I tell you?"

"So it's today?" Rita's eyes flashed with hesitation, and then she said: "Then can I go and see it together? I have never participated in such an event."

"If you want to go, just follow."

"Then wait for me a moment."

While Rita was changing clothes, Shirai Mio also walked into Shiina Mashiro's room, but what surprised her was that Shiina Mashiro was not drawing in the room today.

After Rita changed her clothes and came out, she realized that Shiina Mashiro had been called away by her editor today, as if she had something important to discuss.

Mio Shirai pointed at herself and said, "Rita, do you think you would be able to recognize me in this state if you saw me on the street?"

"What's the point of asking me? You have to know that I'm the one who gets along with you day and night. How could you not recognize me?"

"But, your disguise is quite successful. I feel like if you wear a mask, no one will recognize you."

"If that's the case, let's set off!"

The two people who left home took a car directly to the destination of their trip.

Since the signing will be in the afternoon, there is still some time before then.

Shirai Mio took Rita to a cafe and sat down. Before the two of them even ordered, Shirai Mio's editor had already walked into the cafe.

It can be seen that after entering the store, she looked around as if she was looking for someone, but after searching for a while, she found nothing.

It wasn't until Shirai Mio waved at her that she came over doubtfully.

After confirming that the mature person sitting in front of her was Mio Shirai, the editor's eyes also showed a look of shock.

"Teacher Xiaobai, how did you do it?"

"It's just a simple disguise." Shirai Mio said very modestly.

In fact, in order to be perfect, she not only worked hard on her performance, she even put a lot of padding on her chest and even wore high heels.

After all, there is no need to dance this time, and most of the signing parties are just sitting there, so it feels like there is no problem at all.

"This disguise is not simple at all. Anyway, I didn't recognize you at first glance."

"Maybe it's because my hair color usually stands out, so you pay attention to my hair color, right?"

"Yes, maybe?"

The editor didn't think much and started directly talking to Shirai Mio about some precautions for the autograph session.

Although she had said this kind of thing many times before, she still couldn't help but want to say it again to feel at ease.

Rita on the side listened with great interest.

As the time came to lunch, Shirai Mio also sent an invitation to her editor: "Miss Tanaka, do you want to have something to eat together?"

"Then, then I'm welcome."

The three of them arrived at the scene early after simply eating something at a nearby restaurant.

It can be seen that many people are already staying here in advance, just waiting for the autograph session to start.

The editor lady who noticed this situation glanced at Shirai Mio with some worry, and found that the other party was still so calm, as if she was used to this kind of scene.

······

Chapter 7: This is it

"You are really calm."

Rita, who was sitting in the lounge, glanced at Shirai Mio and said with some surprise.

If you were in this situation, you would be a little nervous, right?

"There's nothing to be nervous about. No one can recognize me anyway, so I can totally be a little more arrogant~"

What's more, as an actress before time travel, she had seen this kind of thing countless times, how could she still be nervous?

While the two were chatting, the editor knocked on the door and walked into the lounge.

"Teacher Xiaobai, the autograph session will start soon. You can prepare now."

"clear."

Following the editor out of the lounge, and as she approached the autograph table, Shirai Mio felt many eyes falling on her.

"I heard people say before that Teacher Xiaobai is a beautiful wife. I didn't believe it, but now I do."

"She's wearing a mask, so you can tell if she's a beauty?"

"I can't explain this kind of thing to you, and you won't understand even if I tell you."

······

Mio Shirai sat down, and for a moment, she felt as if she had returned to the time before time travel.

As the autograph session began, Shirai Mio also put away her divergent thoughts and started to do business seriously.

In order to avoid being discovered, she also changed her voice, which seemed to be no problem.

"Teacher Xiaobai, I am your fan~"

Shirai Mio, who was signing autographs, subconsciously raised her head after hearing these words, and then saw Eiri looking at her with a smile.

It's a pity that there is no time to say a few words at this time, and Shirai Mio has no way to say hello. The two simply communicated with their eyes, and Eiri turned around and walked to a corner, silently looking at Shirai's business status. Mio.

After a while, Shirai Mio met an acquaintance.

That person is none other than Megumi Kato.

If the other party hadn't spoken first, Shirai Mio wouldn't even have noticed the other party's presence.

"I'm just here to get an autograph."

"You can just tell me if you don't want to do this."

"That makes a little more sense."

After the brief conversation ended, Mio Shirai handed the signed novel to the other party.

Although she just mechanically signed her name and thanked him with a smile, after a while, Shirai Mio still felt a little tired.

About two hours later, the autograph session finally came to an end.

When she returned to the lounge, it was as if her body had been hollowed out, and she slumped down on the sofa, completely without any image at all.

"it is finally over."

"You change really quickly. You looked elegant just now, but you turned into this as soon as you entered the room." Rita said while passing a glass of water to Shirai Mio.

Mio Shirai drank the water in the cup in two gulps, and then said: "After all, we were outside just now, so we still have to pay attention to our image, but now, I can relax."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.

Then the editor lady and Ying Lili walked in together.

Seeing Eiri, Shirai Mio pretended to say: "You haven't left yet. I thought you had left."

"Tsk, how could I leave such an interesting thing?"

As Eiri said that, she walked to sit next to Shirai Mio, and then put her mobile phone in front of Shirai Mio.

"what is this?"

"This is your novel exchange group. Do you want to read it?"

"No." Shirai Mio refused without hesitation.

Even if she saw this kind of group, she would still feel a little embarrassed, so she decisively refused.

And even if she didn't read it, she could probably tell what was being discussed inside.

"Humph, I didn't know who first sneaked into my fan group as an undercover agent and showed me the chat history. Now you have to read it even if you don't want to!"

Looking at the two people fighting, Rita coughed twice and said, "Now that the business is over, shouldn't we leave too?"

"Don't be anxious. Let me rest for a while. If I go out now, I will probably be recognized."

"alright."

······

"Teacher Xiaobai, you have worked really hard today."

Hearing what the editor said, Mio Shirai shook her head gently and said, "Don't say that. It's you who have done the hard work. Since the matter is over, I will go back first."

After saying goodbye to the editor, Mio Shirai, who had already changed her clothes, walked out of the bookstore with Rita and Eri.

Looking at the sky that was almost darkening, Shirai Mio glanced at Eiri and said, "Would you like to go have something to eat together?"

Hearing Mio Shirai's words, Eirili subconsciously wanted to nod, but soon she showed a helpless look: "No, I have to go out with my parents tonight, and they are probably already on their way to pick me up. .”

"If that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's talk about it next time when we have time."

"Ah."

Not long after they waited there, Yinglili's parents drove over and picked her up.

The original threesome became two people.

"Do you want to go back and cook, or find a place to eat somewhere nearby?"

"Of course we'll find a place near here." Rita said without hesitation.

"Let me think about it."

Mio Shirai wasn't familiar with this area, but she wasn't unfamiliar either. After all, she had often come to have dinner with Kasumigaoka Shiu before.

After a period of thinking, Mio Shirai made a decision and took Rita directly to a restaurant she often visited.

Rita, who was sitting opposite Shirai Mio, glanced at Shirai Mio unconsciously, and then turned her gaze to the window.

She didn't expect that when she went out, she would be alone with Shirai Mio.

So the question is, what should I do now?

Just treat it like when you are at home?Or······

"Stop just looking at the scenery, come and take a look at the menu. There's something you want to eat on it."

After hearing Mio Shirai's words, Rita came back to her senses.

"Why do you feel like you are a little absent-minded?" Shirai Mio asked with some confusion.

"No, I'm just a little tired."

"Originally, I was thinking that we could go shopping together after dinner. Since you are a little tired, let's go back after eating."

"I think we can still go shopping." Rita said subconsciously.

By the time she came to her senses, the words had already been spoken, and she had no time to regret that this was the current situation.

Why, why does it become like this?

······

Chapter 771 Go with the flow

"Well, I just thought it would be boring to go home so early, so I just wanted to take a stroll." Rita looked at Mio Shirai and explained in a low voice.

"I understand I understand."

Seeing the smile on Mio Shirai's face, Rita couldn't help but pout, wanting to say more to explain, but she didn't know how to speak.

After struggling for a long time, she decided to pretend that nothing happened.

Isn't it just a casual stroll, it will be over soon anyway, as long as you don't think about what is there and what is not.
