After finishing his conversation with Mika and Feng Wu, Seiji went to Peach-sensei's apartment.
He had already visited Tomohisa's apartment after school. Mayuzumi was the last person he wanted to invite.
When he arrived at her apartment, he pressed the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was … Idelia, who was wearing a miniskirt maid outfit!?
"Good evening, Harano -san." The silver-haired, blue-eyed beautiful girl who had materialized from the manga's female protagonist smiled and greeted him.
"Good evening …" Seiji reflexively responded as he couldn't help but size her up.
Idelia was wearing a maid outfit. This was something that hadn't even appeared in the "Honey Candy Girl" anime!
Full breasts, black stockings, beautiful legs, and the absolute territory between her skirt and her stockings gave her an alluring charm.
Evidently, Mayuzumi was the one who made her change into this outfit.
'Good job, Sensei! '
Seiji praised her in his mind. He instantly felt the urge to take a picture of her with his cell phone.
"Sister Mayuzumi and Sister Saki are already waiting for you. Please enter," the maid Idelia indicated to him.
"Sister Mayuzumi and Sister Saki?" Seiji blinked in surprise.
It wasn't bad to have such a nickname!
Maid plus sister made for an excellent combination.
He entered the room and saw the manga author and editor.
Two beautiful women in casual clothes were sitting at a table. An exquisite ceramic tea set was placed on the table, along with beautiful plates filled with high-class desserts. It seemed as if the Grand Mistress was hosting a tea party.
"Please have a seat, Harano -san." Idelia smiled as she stood by the table.
This scene was so beautiful that it seemed like something out of an anime.
After Seiji sat down, he felt moved as he watched the maid Idelia pour some tea for him.
"How was it, Haruta-kun?" Mayuzumi smiled.
"Excellent!" Seiji decisively praised her and took a sip of tea. "It's truly enjoyable to drink tea like this."
"There's something even better." Mayuzumi waved her hand lightly.
Idelia picked up a knife and fork, cut a small piece of cream cake, and brought it to Seiji's mouth.
"Please open your mouth, ah ~ ~" She smiled as she spoke in a sweet voice.
Otaku Seiji was bombed by a missile!
His mind suddenly went blank, and a silly expression appeared on his face. He subconsciously opened his mouth and let the other party send the cake into his mouth.
So sweet …
He ate the cake with a silly expression, a silly smile on his face, and a radiance of happiness.
"Hehehe …" Seeing him like this, Mayuzumi covered her mouth and couldn't stop laughing.
Saki smiled as well.
After eating the cake, Seiji suddenly came to his senses.
What a powerful attack! If they were not careful, their position would fall!
Seeing that the mangaka and editor were both laughing, he awkwardly scratched his face.
"This kind of service is against the rules, teacher."
"Do you want to do it again?" Mayuzumi asked with a smile.
"… I want it." Seiji couldn't resist the desire in his heart and admitted it.
Mayuzumi laughed again.
In the end, Seiji ate the whole cake with Rheia's "Ah ~ ~" service.
Although he felt ashamed, he was more delighted! He had a satisfied look on his face.
It couldn't be any better that the manga's female main character that he liked was providing him with such benefits.
Afterwards, they got down to business.
After hearing Seiji's words, Mayuzumi indicated that she would seriously consider joining his team.
The three of them then started discussing Brother Monogatari.
"Brother Monogatari's sales are doing very well. Some bookstores have already sold out the first batch," Saki told them.
"Sold out? It's only been on sale for two days. "Seiji was astonished.
"That's why I said that it's doing very well. This is the best initial sales for Thunder Bunko since I started working. "
"Amazing, Haruta-kun," Mayuzumi praised him.
"This is just the beginning. I hope that it can continue."
"Your story has excellent text and illustrations, so it should have good sales … but I feel like it's a little unnatural." Something flashed in the editor's eyes.
"Unnatural?"
"Yes, it's not strange that it's doing well. The problem is that it's doing too well. It's the same on the internet. There are surprisingly many comments from readers, and they're all overwhelmingly positive. "
"It's probably because Haruta-kun's story is so well-written," Mayuzumi commented.
"Of course, that might be the case. I'm just overthinking things, but I do feel that it's a little unnatural."
"You mean that someone's intentionally hyping up the story?" Seiji looked directly at her.
"That's not what I meant. I just feel that this story is doing too well. I haven't thought about what's behind it." Saki paused for a moment. "Even if there's something behind it, it's helping this story, as well as our Thunder Bunko."
Seiji was rendered speechless.
"I apologize for saying too much." The editor couldn't help but feel apologetic upon seeing his silence.
"This is just my personal opinion. The truth is more like what Mayuzumi said. 'Brother Monogatari' is incredibly well-written, which is why it has such an abnormal sales momentum and good reviews. There's no need for you to feel uneasy."
"You should be happy, Haruta-kun. Actually, what Saki means is that 'Brother Monogatari' is selling so well that she finds it incomprehensible. "Mayuzumi smiled.
Saki was rendered speechless.
"I've thought of a possibility." Seiji rubbed his chin in contemplation.
"What is it?"
"Perhaps a friend of mine is promoting the sales. He's the one who caused this unnatural situation."
"Your friend …"
"Perhaps he's the one who did it, and perhaps not. I'll have to ask him to find out." Seiji took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
The call connected almost instantly.
"Tomohisa, about 'Brother Monogatari' … did you do something?"
"This humble one did indeed do something. I didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. As expected of Milord!"
"I wasn't the one who noticed. It was my editor who said that the sales were too good and that there were too many good reviews on the internet. She felt that it was a little strange, which was why I wondered if you were the one behind the scenes."
"That's me!" Tomohisa said proudly. "This humble one used all of my connections on the internet to promote Milord's story!"
"'Fully support' … is that so?"
"That's right! Since this humble one said it, I'll do it. "
"Thank you." Seiji expressed his gratitude. "I didn't expect you to go to such an extent. Thank you for your help."
"What are you saying? This humble one is the First Knight." Tomohisa chuckled. "It's a knight's duty to assist Milord in his great cause."
"You've done well. We would like to reward you."
Reward? Tomohisa blinked in surprise.
"Thank you for your favor. May I ask what kind of reward it is?"
"An autographed photo of Peach-sensei."
Tomohisa paused in surprise for a moment upon hearing this.
"Peach-sensei … could it be …"
"It's that 'Honey Candy Girl' author." Seiji chuckled.
Seiji fell silent for a moment, and then …
"Wahhhh!!!" An excited shout came from Seiji's cell phone!
This shout was so loud that even Mayuzumi and Saki could hear it clearly.
"Milord, do you know that great creator!?"
"Yes, and I'm currently sitting right across from God."
"Wahhhh!!!" Another shout came from Seiji's cell phone.
"May I ask where Milord is right now? This humble one wishes to pay his respects to God of Creation!! "
