They all have special skills

After writing two volumes in a hurry, there was no further text.

So-called light novel writers are mostly such sensitive and fragile people.

"It's really great."

"Yeah, Senior looks very happy too."

The editor and Shimizukawa stood at the side of the scene with smiles on their faces.

The only difference is that Shimizukawa just stared at Kasumigaoka Utaha.

The editor's eyes kept moving back and forth between the two of them.

Or a younger boyfriend~

Little puppy~

The aunt's smile on her face became more and more intense.

At this moment, a fan's uncertain question broke the harmony.

"Um... you're Kasumigaoka Utaha from Toyosaki, right?"

…………

Volume 1: Chapter 26: Unexpected Surge

The person asking the questions was a boy wearing thick black-framed glasses. He didn't look very old and seemed to be a high school student.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was sitting behind the autograph counter, frowned when she heard this.

She didn't expect to meet someone who knew her here.

Are you classmates from the same school?

She was thinking about whether to answer truthfully.

The editor came over hurriedly to help.

Show a polite smile to the boys,

"Excuse me, please don't ask Teacher Kasumi Shiko such private questions."

Qingshuichuan also came over at this time.

The boy was still chattering about something.

His arms were waving in front of his chest in panic.

"Ah, no, I just think Teacher Kasumi Shiko looks a lot like a senior from our school, so..."

"You are mistaken."

Qingshuichuan interrupted him.

The editor continued to smooth things over with a smile on her face.

"Excuse me, look, we have a lot of fans of Teacher Kasumi Shiko waiting in line..."

The boy with glasses was a little slow to react, but things had come to this point.

He finally realized that it was inappropriate to reveal Kasumi Shiko's real name in front of so many fans.

"I am so sorry!"

The next moment he quickly bent down to apologize, and then without wasting any time he took out the novel he had bought and handed it over.

"Well, I've always liked Kasumi Shiko's novels...

The story inside is very touching...

I even wrote a review online to help promote the book.

Because I want more people to read this masterpiece, and want them to know the faith and emotion conveyed in this book..."

While Kasumigaoka Utaha was signing autographs, he was still chattering away.

"Thank you very much for your continued support. I will continue to work hard to create works that satisfy my fans."

Finally, Kasumigaoka Utaha gave a formulaic reply.

At this time, the boy took out his cell phone and smiled embarrassedly.

"Well... well! Since Kasumi Shiko-sensei is a writer I admire very much, can I take a photo with you?"

What he had said before really moved Kasumigaoka Utaha.

After all, although it seems stupid to say his own name in public, he is still his loyal fan after all.

So she nodded.

Seeing this, the boy turned around excitedly, posed across the autograph table, and pressed the selfie button.

I actually met classmates from the same school at the autograph session.

Such little episodes come and go quickly.

Apart from making Kasumigaoka, Shimizu River and the editor a little nervous, there were no other disturbances.

After that, the autograph session went on smoothly.

It was only because of the previous fanatical fan's suggestion that there were fans who wanted to take photos with Kasumigaoka every now and then.

The autograph session was originally planned to last only three hours, but it ended at seven o'clock.

"...Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Kasumi Shiko. You've worked overtime for over an hour."

The staff were busy cleaning up the venue.

And Shimizukawa came to Kasumigaoka who was rubbing her eyebrows and handed her the milk tea he had just bought.

There were so many fans coming in the afternoon that she was so busy that she sat behind the autograph table for more than four hours without getting up.

At the same time, she didn't even have time to drink water so that the fans queuing behind her wouldn't have to wait too long.

At this time, it never hurts to supplement some sugar.

"Thanks……"

Kasumigaoka spent the entire afternoon communicating and thanking fans.

Now I have all the energy to deal with Qingshuichuan's jokes.

The editor, who had finished her work, came over at this time.

"Teacher Xia Shizi has worked hard, you can go back first."

Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka looked at the staff who were still busy at the scene.

The editor followed her gaze and turned back to her.

"Oh, it's okay. That's their job, the hard work. Teacher Kasumi Shiko, you, a girl, can't help much by staying here."

"Thank you for troubling you today, Ms. Lihua."

"No need to bother. I hope today's efforts will be effective, and that the next volume of Love Metronome will be a big hit."

"Um……"

Kasumigaoka Utaha bowed her head in thanks.

"Actually, it's dinner time now. If it were any other day, I would definitely treat Teacher Kasumi Shiko to a meal. I can always get reimbursed at the company later. But today... I won't be so fussy."

It is obvious that the editor has arbitrarily fabricated the relationship between the two people in front of her.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha is very tired now.

I was so tired that I couldn't even speak a few words.

So there was no denial.

As for the Qingshui River.

He had no other ideas.

I just think that since the girl didn't specifically speak up to clarify.

Then there seems to be no need for him, a grown man, to be so pretentious.

After saying goodbye to the editor.

The two of them left the mall side by side.

Kasumigaoka was holding the milk tea in both hands, and she had already drunk half of it by biting the straw.

The sugars turned into energy, allowing her to regain some of her physical strength and spirit.

Standing on the side of the road, I looked at the various neon signs lit up around me.

She thought for a moment and said,

"If we go to that barbecue restaurant you mentioned earlier, is it still too late?"

Qingshuichuan was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, she still remembered what he mentioned casually after school the day before yesterday.

Eat goods!

"It should be in time, but forget it."

"Don't you really want to check in?"

"I really want to, but I'm very tired today. Now I just want to go home and rest. As for dinner... let's just find a restaurant that you're interested in."

Qing Shuichuan said this and strode forward.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was half a body length behind, looked at the tall and straight back of the young man, and all the things that happened between them in the past few days flashed through her mind.

Her mood at the moment was just like the cup of milk tea in her hand.

——It has a sweet aroma like that of strawberries, and a warmth that can be clearly felt in the palm of your hand.

She quickened her pace and caught up with him.

"I don't want to eat out anymore, just go home and make something."

"Eh? Spare me some time, I'm tired too."

"I just sat there for an afternoon."

"You don't understand. Even just doing it is very tiring..."

----

Sawamura family.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Eriri Sawamura, who had returned home, received a message.

She was very familiar with the sender, a playmate she had known since childhood.

Aki Tomoya.

This guy is also an avid 2D fan.

Unlike Eriri who usually hides her homebody side, this guy doesn't hide the fact that he is from that side.

Eriri glanced over the content of the message sent by Tomoya Aki, which was roughly about attending Kasumi Shiko's autograph session this afternoon.

Looking at the autographed photo sent by the other party, Eriri was so angry that her teeth were itching.

I see, this guy is just here to show off!

She also likes the book Love Metronome very much, and she also wants teacher Kasumi Shiko's signature!

But unfortunately, Eriri was taken to the banquet by her mother at noon today.

After the afternoon tea time, the dinner started immediately and it was not until now that it ended and I got home.

So naturally there is no chance.

Ying Lili was in a bad mood and couldn't stand seeing others showing off what she didn't have.

But just as she was about to put down her phone, she stopped as if she had discovered something.

Wait... that person is...
