In a corner of the bookstore that Natsuki didn't notice, a girl with another library book in her hand was watching Natsuki very seriously.This girl is Xia Shizi, the author of "Metronome in Love", that is, Xia Zhigao Shiyu, who had a relationship with Xia Shu in school.She is now pretending to be an ordinary guest while secretly observing how her maiden work is selling.

She was disappointed by the results of the observation. The whole morning was almost over, not to mention buying books, not many people even picked up the library book for trial reading.

That's why Shi Yu stared at Xia Shu so nervously after Xia Shu picked up the trial book.

By the way, because of Xia Shu's dress, Shi Yu couldn't recognize who Xia Shu was.

Xia Shu is now wearing the black formal suit and windbreaker worn by Osamu Dazai when he was a cadre in the Port Mafia, a popular character among the Bungo Stray Dogs. He also has a black top hat and sunglasses on his head and face, so he is in the Gacha Club. Only to be looked at for a long time with surprised eyes.

It's a cool spring day, but it's a bit too much to dress like this.Luckily, it was still morning. If it was noon or afternoon, Xia Shu would definitely be stuffed with sweat.

Xia Shu's reading speed was very fast, and it didn't take long for him to finish reading about 1/3 of the whole book, because he only read it roughly in one eye and ten lines, just to understand the general plot, if it made him feel good, he would read it again. Look again carefully.

But so far, this "Love Metronome" feels OK to Xia Shu.Although the author is only a newcomer, the rhetoric is beautiful and the description is delicate. It is indeed like written by a female author, and the plot and jokes are also quite good.

As the first volume of a light novel, it should be considered very good, but unfortunately no one buys it.There should be two reasons, one is because the author is a pure newcomer, and the subject matter is a romantic comedy that is difficult to make people shine; the other is because the cover and illustrations of the novel are very ordinary, which makes life difficult at all. desire to buy.

The importance of illustrations to light novels is self-evident, such as the wall of a famous work.

All in all, this is probably another novel that was cut in half in less than three volumes.With that in mind, Xia Shu took a new library book from the shelf and put it in the basket, ready to find the next target.

But at this moment, a familiar female voice from behind made Xia Shu stop.

"I'm sorry to disturb you."

Xia Shu turned around, and Shi Yu, who was wearing a white dress, was standing in front of him.

The Hill of Xia... Shi Yu?

The wide sunglasses and the collar that stood up covered Xia Shu's face and the slightest surprise in his eyes.

To actually see one of the best students in the second grade of Toyonozaki in the bookstore in Akihabara, which surprised Natsuki a little, at the same time, a certain name that had just appeared in front of him suddenly crossed his name. Mind, let him realize something.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kasumi Utako?

...Why do these people use pen names and screen names, and they always like to play word games with their real names?

As a loyal reader of the old thief in the west end, Xia Shu is very sensitive to the word play on the name, let alone Shi Yu's pseudonym is so obvious, it is just a little better than Mori Summer.After thinking for less than half a second, Xia Shu decided to lower his voice and replied, "What's the matter?"

ps1: 100 yen hamburgers are also available in domestic McDonald's, namely hamburgers (named as such) and Maixiang chicken burgers, one type of pork and one type of chicken. The price seems to be 5 yuan and 6 yuan, which is similar to the exchange rate.But in comparison, I think 100 yen is more economical.

Chapter 068. Nonsense and opinions

"Excuse me, what do you think of this "Metronome in Love"? Is it interesting to read?"

Shi Yu, who had only met Xia Shu twice, did not recognize Xia Shu, who was in the COS port mafia, just as Xia Shu thought.

And Xia Shu didn't answer, just looked Shi Yu up and down silently.

Shi Yu didn't feel surprised after seeing this, this is Akihabara after all.In a normal tone, she pretended to be curious and explained, "I'm looking for interesting romance light novels, and I saw you picked up this "Love Metronome" just now, so I want to refer to your opinion."

"I said you, shouldn't you be the author of this book?"

"I'm just a very ordinary reader."

"Really? I'm sorry, because you don't look like a woman who would take the initiative to talk to strangers." Xia Shu looked at the inside of the bookstore, "Also, it is said that some authors secretly go to the bookstore when a new book is published. , pretending to be an ordinary guest to observe how his books are selling."

"Sir, you are joking. Compared with me, you are the author of this book."

Shi Yu said with a chuckle, both his tone and expression were impeccable.However, she was actually a little panicked because she was directly seen through her identity, and Xia Shu had noticed this.

"..." After being silent for a while, Xia Shu pointed to the poster beside the bookshelf and said, "Do I look like the beautiful girl writer mentioned above? If there is a signing event, do you want to Do I attend in women's clothing and shake hands with the azhai people who come here?"

"Cough... so... isn't it great? It seems that this trend is becoming more and more popular now."

"..."

Xia Shu didn't answer any more, he directly took the library book out of the basket and prepared to put the book back on the shelf.

"Sorry, I am indeed the author of this book, Xia Shizi." Shi Yu immediately stood in front of Xia Shu, and simply apologized to Xia Shu, "For various reasons, I wanted to hide my own I am very sorry."

"Well, I can understand. After all, if the public knows that the light novel writer of this romantic comedy is actually a high school girl, it will cause some sensitive topics." When Shi Yu's face changed sharply, Xia Shu put the sunglasses and polite. He took it off, revealing his poker face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, "Xiazhiqiu, it turns out that you have been in poor condition at school these few days, and you have done all kinds of outrageous things, in fact, because you are busy collecting materials and rushing drafts ?"

"..."

In the moment when Xia Shu's voice fell, Shi Yu's face was covered with clouds.Without a word, she suddenly reached out to Xia Shu, trying to snatch the library from Xia Shu's hand, but Xia Shu avoided it.

"Huh? You don't want me to buy this book after knowing my identity, why?" Xia Shu carefully looked at the expression on Shi Yu's face, "Is there a plot in it that you don't want me to see?"

After seeing Shi Yu's pupils shrink, Xia Shu realized that he had guessed right again.

"...Oreki-sensei, let me invite you to dinner."

……

……

"You actually put this into the plot?"

In a McDonald's not far away, Xia Shu and Shi Yu were sitting opposite each other.Xia Shu is reading the library book while eating the Big Mac meal.
