"Why are you guys in this cafe?"
Ying Lili furrowed her brows and walked over angrily.
She did not expect to see Kashinoku Shiyu when she went to Akihabara to buy some games. Moreover, she was sitting at the same table as Mu Fan.
Ying Lili's voice was full of resentment. Mu Fan and Kashinoku Shiyu, who were deep in thought, were shocked.
Mu Fan raised his head and saw Ying Lili, who was showing her small canine teeth and had a murderous look on her face. He could not help but shiver, and he knew that something was wrong.
He was just about to tell Chen Yushan the reason why the book failed, but now that Chen Yushan was sitting with Ying Lili, there was no way he could tell her the reason, right?
Kashinoku Shiyu was much calmer than Mu Fan. She was already upset about the book's failure. She took a sip of red wine and said to Ying Lili without holding back, "Are you here to check my account? What's your relationship with Mu Fan and me? Why are we here? It's none of your business, right? "
"Also, what's in the bag on your table? Did you buy a new game and prepare to work hard? You really are a child. "
Kashinoku Shiyu glanced at the sealed paper bag on the table, then looked at Ying Lili's AA-level chest. She narrowed her eyes and said sarcastically.
"You're the child."
Ying Lili covered her chest angrily. She gritted her teeth and glared at Kashinoku Shiyu. She stared at the red wine on the table and said, "You guys are still drinking? Kashinoku Shiyu, Mu Fan is a good guy. You brought him out to drink. You must be up to no good, right? "
Hearing this, Kashinoku Shiyu raised her eyebrows. She tucked her hair behind her ears and crossed her legs. She looked at Ying Lili and asked with a smile, "Why don't you tell me how I'm up to no good?"
Although Ying Lili was a manga artist, she was much more conservative than Kashinoku Shiyu in this aspect when she suddenly acted shamelessly in front of Kashinoku Shiyu.
Hearing Kashinoku Shiyu's question, Ying Lili's face immediately turned red. Her twin ponytails swayed arrogantly. She put her hands on her waist and pointed at Kashinoku Shiyu angrily. "In … In short, you're up to no good. Mu Fan's sister, Kazumi Gauze Mist, told me to build a good relationship with Mu Fan and help her take care of her brother. Today, Mu Fan has to go back to cook, so he can't drink with you. In short, I'm representing Gauze Mist to supervise Mu Fan. I'll sit here. "
As she said that, Ying Lili moved the chair over and sat down beside Mu Fan and Shiyu as if it was only natural for her to do so.
In fact, in this restaurant, there were two seats on each side of each table. However, with Ying Lili's participation, the square table became a table for three people.
The waiters only glanced at them briefly and did not come out to stop them. It didn't matter how the customers wanted to share the table and switch seats. As long as the original customers didn't object, it was fine.
Mu Fan looked at Ying Lili beside him and asked in surprise, "Ying Lili, I don't think I've heard Gauze Mist say this before …"
Ying Lili glared at Mu Fan unhappily and retorted, "Gauze Mist said this to me alone."
"But I don't think you've been upstairs …"
"Shut up!"
Mu Fan was speechless.
Hearing this, Kashinoku Shiyu saw the clues and curled the corner of her mouth. She said disdainfully, "Sawa, don't you think you're a hindrance here? Sitting beside the two of us, not to mention blocking the other customers' path and our meal, don't you think you're interrupting other people's date? "
"How dare a kitten like you say you're going on a date with other people?" Ying Lili said unhappily. She took out the latest volume of "A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain" from her bag and handed it to Mu Fan. "Mu Fan, this comic of 'A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain' sold in the Tiger's Den A store in Akihabara in three months. When we get home, I'll ask my father to transfer the money to your bank account."
"A hundred and ninety-seven thousand copies?"
Mu Fan took the book and stared at the cover. He did not avoid the gazes of the people in the coffee shop. After all, in a place like Akihabara, it was normal for boys to look at comic books. If he put on an act, it would be disgusting.
However, Mu Fan's heart was full of surprise. Many of the most popular orthodox comics, such as the famous "Sea of Dead Flames", only sold about three hundred thousand copies in three months. However, this work could sell almost two hundred thousand copies, which was more than many orthodox comics.
Many orthodox comics artists would probably smash their computers in anger when they saw the sales of Ying Lili's work "A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain".
Of course, it was a good thing that the sales of "A Father's Love Is Like a Mountain" were high. Mu Fan was secretly surprised. With the money from Ying Lili, he could do a lot of things. It seemed that he would be able to earn enough money from writing stories for Ying Lili in the future.
However, just as Mu Fan took the book and put it on the table, he suddenly realized something.
Oh no, Senior Sister is still here!
Mu Fan suddenly realized something was wrong. He hurriedly turned his head and saw Senior Sister, who had the aura of a queen a moment ago, lying on the table like a defeated dog. She looked expressionlessly at the cover of the book in Mu Fan's hand. She laughed dryly and muttered, "Ah … Hahaha … I … I was defeated by a golden retriever … Haha … Hahaha …"
"Senior Sister, don't give up on treatment!"
Looking at Senior Sister who was almost broken, Mu Fan's face instantly darkened. Originally, the sales of "The Magic Academy's Guide to Love" had been beaten by him and Silver Flash, and Kashinoku Shiyu had suffered a huge blow. Today, Ying Lili had coincidentally come to Akihabara to give him the book. She had even taken the throne of the number one selling work in Akihabara for the past three months.
She had been defeated by the golden retriever that she had been mocking. This blow was even greater than the blow to him and Silver Flash.
"Kashiko, who are you calling a defeated dog!"
Ying Lili retorted unhappily. Then, she looked at Senior Sister who was about to become a cripple and was stunned. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and raised her eyebrows. She covered her mouth and laughed. "By the way, Kashiko, don't tell me your new book's sales have exploded?"
Kashinoku Shiyu's expression froze and she didn't say anything.
Seeing Kashinoku Shiyu's expression, Ying Lili was even more convinced of her guess. She laughed even more happily. "Ahahaha!"
"Shut up, Ying Lili. You've ruined Senior Sister by insulting her like this!"
Mu Fan was speechless. Kashinoku Shiyu was already sad enough, and now, she was dealt a blow by Ying Lili. Mu Fan was really afraid that Kashinoku Shiyu would suddenly go berserk. He hurriedly stood up and covered Ying Lili's mouth from behind to stop Ying Lili's ridicule. He looked at Kashinoku Shiyu, who was sitting opposite him with a broken expression, and carefully asked, "Senior Sister, are you okay?"
Kashinoku Shiyu looked like she had just gone through a serious illness. She laid on the table and stared at the remaining half of the red wine glass. She said in an extremely weak voice, "I'm fine …"
Hearing this, Mu Fan secretly sighed in relief and let go of the hand that was covering Ying Lili.
It seemed like his question just now had saved her.
Her mouth was suddenly covered by Mu Fan. Ying Lili, who had never been so intimately touched by a boy other than her parents, blushed and glared at Mu Fan, who had just sat down.
She turned her head and saw Kashinoku Shiyu, who was in a daze. She could tell that Kashinoku Shiyu was really sad, and she couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. After all, she recalled that she had gone a little overboard in adding insult to injury.
Ying Lili comforted her. "Don't worry too much about it. It's only a failure once. It's normal for books and novels to fail in the Dengeki Bunko. If this book fails, why don't you just change to a new one next time?"
"Normal? Why don't I just change to a new one next time? "
Kashinoku Shiyu's expression immediately turned cold. She looked coldly at Ying Lili, who was playing it down. She clenched her fists unwillingly, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "You don't understand my mentality as a light novel author at all. The characters and the world in 'The Magic Academy's Love Guide' were all created by me. They are just like my friends and children. But it failed. It proves that the readers have denied my writing skills, and the understanding of light novels that I've been working so hard to cultivate. Everything about me has been denied by the readers!"
Kashinoku Shiyu was almost hysterical when she said the last sentence, which attracted the attention of many diners in the coffee shop.
"Why are you yelling …"
Ying Lili, who was shocked, immediately retorted in displeasure. But halfway through her words, she suddenly saw that Kashinoku Shiyu, who had always been strong-willed, had tears flowing out from the corners of her eyes. They slid down her cheeks and dripped into the wine glass filled with red wine, creating ripples …
Seeing this, Mu Fan and Ying Lili both fell silent, and their expressions became complicated.
