This is not the date I wanted.

————————Liang Yi Meng Yue is the elf who loves Shi Dao the most (no one else)! ——————

Meng Yue (blushing): "Author! Author, where are you? Get out of here! Mmp, I'm going to beat you so hard that even your grandmother won't be able to recognize you!"

Shidao: "Calm down! Calm down Mengyue! Yue--No, Master Author! While I'm holding Mengyue back, run away!"

(Run away quickly...)

Meng Yue: "Damn it, I let that guy get away. Shidao, why did you hold me back?!"

Shidao: "Well - look at Mengyue, this is still in front of the readers. As the protagonist of this book, swearing in public will reduce everyone's good impression of you."

Meng Yue: "Stare——"

Shidao: "What, what happened?"

Meng Yue: "Shidao, you have had a smirking expression on your face since a while ago."

Shidao: "——!? (He quickly straightened his expression.) Is there?"

Meng Yue: "...Forget it. Let me make it clear here, regardless of what you misunderstood. But I can tell you clearly that the relationship between Shidao and I will not develop further."

Shidou (punches): "W-why…"

Meng Yue: "Well, it's a bit difficult to explain clearly. To put it simply, falling in love and making a scene in front of the enemy is no different from courting death."

Shidou: "Ha--well, that's true. The plot will become more and more serious from now on."

Meng Yue: "I think most readers already know what the next volume will contain. However, the author is still itching to make changes, so I would like to give you a sincere suggestion: don't take it lightly."

——————————Book promotion session, with a warning of slow update————————

Meng Yue: "Misaka 9964's "Ikaros's Infinite Journey of Redemption", if you are interested, go and watch it."

Shidao: "Isn't this recommendation a bit too rash?"

Meng Yue: "There is nothing we can do about it. The author has to deal with Level 6, driver's license, professional courses, and all sorts of other things. He doesn't even have enough time to write."

Shidao: "This is really sad news. But it's much better than the last time. Well, this time "Letter from Fraxinus" ends here, thank you everyone--"

Meng Yue: "Wait! There's one thing I haven't done before this ends."

Shidao: "Hmm?"

(Meng Yue pressed the player button on the big screen.)

Shidao: "What is this!?"

Meng Yue: "Hahaha! How did you scare Shidao? This is a work I made by combining the photos I captured before and the sound source of Shidao's previous black history video. I originally wanted to use it to threaten you at the end of the article. Later, I had to delete it due to space limitations."

Shidou: "You don't need to provide this kind of behind-the-scenes information! Just let it remain buried in the darkness!"

Meng Yue: "Well, the next step is to post this, along with the previous black history video and Shiori's photo, online. The title will be 'A middle school boy who has been studying hard in women's clothing and practicing his special moves for several years has finally mastered it—'."

Shidou: "Stop it, Mengyue. I will die like this. Die in the social sense!"

Meng Yue: "Don't worry, no one will take it seriously. In the end, most of them will use post-production special effects or something to fool it. At most, when you go to school in the future, people will look at you with a little more gentleness (laughs). Send~"

Shidou: "Stop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

00 The girl fainted on the street corner

==============================

<I originally thought that I was one of the less attractive types, but now I realize that I am actually not that bad. ——A certain girl compared herself to others of the same kind and couldn’t help but sigh. >

Walking out of the cabin of the plane, I walked down the ladder step by step, and stepped into this foreign land in my high heels.

"--call!"

The first thing to do is to take a deep breath.

The smell is a little different from that of my hometown. The air here is a little drier and the temperature is a little colder. Maybe it's because the airport is built near the forest in the suburbs, and you can still smell a little bit of natural earthy smell.

Although it’s strange, I don’t hate the smell. It feels like I’m stepping into an unknown world for an adventure, and my heart is filled with excitement.

I couldn't help but hum a little tune in my heart. But I soon realized that it was a bit embarrassing to do this in public. I put my mind at ease, straightened my posture and walked out of the airport.

The person who greeted him was a foreign woman with long light blonde hair.

It's so beautiful. I couldn't help but admire it in my heart.

It goes without saying that she is beautiful in appearance. Whether it is her looks or her figure, she is definitely first-rate. As a member of the same sex, I can't help but feel envious when I see her.

However, the beauty I am talking about does not include these.

Eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, ears, dimples... The face is the place that best reflects a person's personality and character. Every minute and every second that a person spends will undoubtedly leave traces on his face.

I noticed it the first time I looked at him.

Cold, resolute, arrogant, and hidden deep under the layers of indestructible armor, there is a childish stubbornness and innocence.

It shines like a carefully polished diamond, a kind of purity that is forged after crossing many extremely cruel battlefields.

No matter how beautiful one's appearance is, at the moment of reaching the end, it will turn into a skeleton without any difference. But this purity is unique.

Even in a crowded airport, her presence is so eye-catching.

It's so beautiful. I sighed in my heart again.

Beautiful things always touch people's hearts, making me intoxicated and unable to look away.

What would happen if that pride was trampled and crushed by irresistible external forces?

What would the picture be like if that innocence was cruelly and ruthlessly dug out, completely ravaged and denied?

I couldn't help but imagine it.

Presumably, this pure and fragmented moment would also be indescribably beautiful.

——left.

The other party just said a few words, turned around and left on his own.

I suddenly came to my senses.

——No! No! What on earth am I thinking!

I tapped my head in annoyance and warned myself. I suppressed the evil thoughts that emerged in my heart and quickly caught up with the foreign woman.

But if you don't know how to restrain your desires, you will just be a fickle person. I'm not bragging, but I'm very conservative and loyal. My ex-boyfriends often said that they liked this about me the most.

The woman in front of me is also very attractive. But unfortunately, I already have someone in my heart.

Although I have only seen photos, I can be sure that it is definitely the most beautiful and pure creature in the world.

I came to this city, not for anything else, just for that "her" whom I have never met.

————————————————I am the dividing line that diverts attention————————————

Tuesday, October 12th.

Liangyi Mengyue leaned against the wall of a building, watching the people coming and going on the street, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Is the New Year coming after Christmas? This is really fast."

Same place, totally different scenery. In just one day, the street decorations changed from Western to Japanese. The Christmas trees at the store entrances were replaced with kadomatsu and straw ropes, which symbolize New Year's Day. Santa Claus and reindeer, which were everywhere yesterday, can now only be seen on the packaging of unsold cakes.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long Mengyue."

The sound of footsteps slowly approached as the automatic door opened. Meng Yue straightened up and turned to look at the young man behind her.

"It's okay. But what about you, what are the results of the examination, Shidou?"

"Yeah, not bad."

Shidou nodded and replied.

Since the last incident of the spiritual power going out of control, Kotori has been paying more attention to Shidou's physical condition than before. In the half month before the holiday, Shidou went to Fraxinus for a checkup every day. Although Reine had already said that the spiritual power channel between Shidou and the spirits had stabilized, Kotori was obviously not completely at ease.

Just yesterday, just because he used his spiritual power once, Shidao was asked to undergo a physical examination again.

By the way, Mana, who appeared not long ago, was also caught by Kotori in the city today. Now she is being forced to undergo a compulsory inspection under Kotori's intimidation.

"I'm glad you're okay. After all, you used your spiritual power for my sake yesterday. If anything goes wrong because of this, I'll feel guilty."

Meng Yue was visibly relieved when she heard Shidao's reply.

"I told you it's okay. It's Kotori who's making a big deal out of it."

Recalling Kotori's tough attitude, Shidou smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

Since the food at home had run out due to yesterday's party, Mengyue and Shidao decided to go to the shopping street to buy food before going home.

"It's like this every year... This speed of change can only be attributed to the lingering spirit of commerce."

Walking into the shopping district, feeling the lively atmosphere at the end of the year, Shidou couldn't help but sigh.

“Is it like this here every year?”

Turning around and looking around, Meng Yue asked curiously.

"Yes, here every time the day after Christmas, the New Year begins. When I first saw this scene, I couldn't help but think, 'This is too fast to cross the river and destroy the bridge.'"

"Ah, I know, I know!"

Meng Yue nodded with empathy.

"However, it's a good thing that the streets are bustling. And I also want to experience the Japanese way of celebrating the New Year."

Unlike Christmas, Mengyue's eyes flashed with excitement when facing the upcoming New Year's Day.

"Well... I actually welcome this situation. During this period, some high-end ingredients that are not sold at other times will be sold, and there will be more special offers."

"This is a typical way of thinking for a househusband, Shidou."

"That's long-winded. Mengyue, aren't you the same?"

Shidou retorted somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"That's right~"

Meng Yue smiled slightly and shrugged without comment.

"So, what are you going to do tonight, Shidou?"

“That’s true…”

Shidou rested his chin with his hand and looked at the surrounding shops thoughtfully.

"I just had a birthday party yesterday, and it will be New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in a while. It's not good to eat too much all the time, so let's make a simple Japanese meal today... How about fish for the main course?"

"learn."

Mengyue made an "OK" gesture.

It was winter now, so there was no need to worry about food spoiling as easily as in the summer, and there was no need to save raw meat for last. The two checked the necessary ingredients, walked around the familiar store a few times, and bought all the ingredients for dinner.

"By the way, Meng Yue. Have you ever heard of "Sliver Bullet"?"

"Hmm? I know. It was a manga that was serialized in Weekly Shonen BLAST, right?"

On the way home, Mengyue raised her eyebrows in surprise when she heard Shidao talk about otaku-related topics, which was rare.

"Weekly Shonen BLAST", a unique weekly comic magazine in this world, is not much less famous than "JUMP", which serializes several popular comics. It should be very famous for people of Shidao's age.

In fact, Mengyue has also read several comics in it, and "Sliver Bullet" is one of them.

"What happened to that comic? Wasn't it already cancelled?"

"It's not being cancelled, it's being suspended."

"Not much difference."

Meng Yue curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

"There has been no update for several years, and he mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a group of readers who were sitting and waiting anxiously. For such an author, taking a break is the same as ceasing publication. He must have gone to some mahjong parlor to play mahjong with that old villain Togashi."

"Haha..." Feeling a mysterious resentment from Meng Yue, Shidao laughed dryly twice and continued, "Actually, when I was checking just now, I heard Mr. Nakatsugawa say that the "Sliver Bullet"... was updated today."

"……What did you say?!!"
