"Of course, I'm Yu's juice machine!"
Seeing this petite and cute silver-haired girl say such bold words, Utaha Kasumigaoka's eyes widened in shock.
Nayuta Kani, a popular beautiful girl author under Fushikawa Publishing.
Her works such as "White Season" and other seasonal quartet series had achieved excellent sales, directly placing her in the ranks of bestselling light novel authors!
Since they were both authors under the same publishing house, Utaha Kasumigaoka had heard of her to some extent.
But she really hadn't expected this girl, who was about the same age as herself, to be so bold...
Nayuta Kani's editor's face turned red as she covered her mouth, looking embarrassedly at Utaha Kasumigaoka.
"She's talking nonsense..."
Then she pulled Nayuta Kani back to the sofa behind them, pleading with the girl.
"Kani-sensei, Feather Teacher has other business. Please wait here for a moment!"
Nayuta Kani pouted, crossing her arms and squeezing her chest that didn't match her appearance.
"Fine then..."
As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze turned to Utaha Kasumigaoka, scanning up and down this black-haired beauty.
Sonoko Machida immediately introduced them.
"This is a teacher I'm in charge of, the author of 'Metronome in Love,' Utako Kasumi-sensei!"
As she spoke, her phone suddenly buzzed. Sonoko Machida quickly looked and saw a call from someone named Eiri Kashiwagi.
"I still need to pick someone up. Kasumi-sensei, please sit in the break room for a while!"
With that, she quickly left the break room.
Utaha Kasumigaoka watched her leave, then heard Nayuta Kani's voice.
"Do you know Yu, that is, Feather Teacher?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka shook her head and answered honestly.
"Feather Teacher is just an author I greatly admire and respect."
Utaha Kasumigaoka keenly noticed that after her words, the wariness in Nayuta Kani's azure eyes immediately disappeared.
Instead, it was replaced with a delighted expression.
"You're a fan of Yu's books?"
Then, contrary to Utaha Kasumigaoka's expectations, Nayuta Kani began discussing Feather Teacher's novels with her with a proud expression.
"She thought I had some special relationship with Feather Teacher just now, so she was being wary of me?"
Utaha Kasumigaoka's thoughts stirred as she understood the logic.
However, this made her even more curious about Nayuta Kani's relationship with Feather Teacher.
On the street outside Fushikawa Publishing.
Eriri Sawamura, who had just gotten out of her car, stared at the crowd that almost blocked the road.
"Why are there so many people?"
Sayuri Sawamura, wearing a middle school COS uniform, complained.
"The news that Feather Teacher was coming to the editorial department spread on all the major forums and fan groups!"
"It's all because you were dawdling at school. Now we can't even squeeze in!"
Eriri Sawamura looked helplessly at her mother.
Her mother was wearing an anime middle school COS uniform, while she wore Sobu High's high school uniform.
Although they were mother and daughter, at this moment, she looked like the older sister...
Fortunately, the fans were all wearing even more eye-catching COS outfits, so Sayuri Sawamura's COS looked relatively modest!
Looking back at the fans still streaming toward this area, Eriri Sawamura took out her phone.
"Let me contact the editorial department first..."
After hanging up, the mother and daughter quietly snuck to the underground parking garage.
They saw a professional OL-dressed mature woman in the distance.
"Machida-san?"
Eriri Sawamura called out tentatively.
Sonoko Machida turned around and saw them, quickly walking over.
Eriri Sawamura immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kashiwagi-sensei, sorry for making you take a detour!"
Eriri Sawamura raised her hand, but saw Sonoko Machida directly ignore her and grab her mother's hands.
The girl immediately froze in confusion.
"Kashiwagi-sensei was so thoughtful to come wearing the classic COS outfit!"
"For a moment just now, I thought the anime character had stepped out of the screen!"
Sonoko Machida praised sincerely.
Sayuri Sawamura was also complimented until she smiled radiantly, gently touching her cheek.
"Boby boby..."
She squinted her beautiful eyes, glancing at her daughter who was almost petrified, and said somewhat amusedly.
"Thank you for the compliment, Machida-san, but I'm not Kashiwagi-sensei."
Hearing this, Sonoko Machida looked stunned.
Although she hadn't met Eiri Kashiwagi, based on the information from Eromanga-sensei, Eiri Kashiwagi was supposed to be a beautiful girl...
Sonoko Machida's gaze shifted slightly to look at Eriri Sawamura, whose expression was stiff, as she suddenly realized something.
"I'm Eiri Kashiwagi..."
Eriri Sawamura's voice even carried a hint of grievance.
The atmosphere immediately became extremely awkward.
"Sorry, sorry, Kashiwagi-sensei, I'm so sorry!"
Sonoko Machida's face flushed with embarrassment as she repeatedly bowed to Eriri Sawamura.
"You sisters look so similar, I couldn't tell you apart for a moment..."
After Sonoko Machida finished speaking, Eriri Sawamura's face stiffened again, while Sayuri Sawamura's smile grew even brighter!
"Is there a problem?"
Sonoko Machida asked carefully.
"No... nothing, let's hurry upstairs..."
Eriri Sawamura said tiredly.
She couldn't very well clarify that this was her mother... that would be too embarrassing!
She should never have let Sayuri Sawamura come along!
In this strange atmosphere, Sonoko Machida led the mother and daughter into the elevator.
At this moment, Sonoko Machida suddenly remembered something and looked at Eriri Sawamura with a smile.
"Kashiwagi-sensei was already acquainted with Feather Teacher before, right? Otherwise, how could the character design you provided be so coincidentally perfect!"
Today, after Kuzeha came to the editorial department, he had truly shocked Sonoko Machida.
A writer who had been writing for nearly ten years and had made a name for himself in both the light novel and literary worlds turned out to be a student from the same high school as Utaha Kasumigaoka!
In other words, when Kuzeha published his debut work, he was just an elementary school student...
This left Sonoko Machida only able to marvel at the heights that geniuses could reach beyond ordinary comprehension.
However, Kuzeha's handsome face had also surprised Sonoko Machida!
His appearance was exactly the same as the male protagonist design that Eiri Kashiwagi had provided!
So Sonoko Machida naturally assumed these two must be acquainted.
Otherwise, how could such a coincidence exist...
Moreover, she had also noticed that Eriri Sawamura was wearing a Sobu High uniform.
This made her even more certain of her guess!
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Eriri Sawamura tilted her head, her golden twin-tails falling from her shoulders.
"Machida-san, I've never seen Feather Teacher before?"
"Is there something new wrong with the character design?"
Sonoko Machida saw that her expression didn't seem fake, and her eyes immediately jumped.
"No way..."
Suddenly, she realized the situation seemed to be getting complicated.
"Forget it, we'll talk about it when we meet Feather Teacher."
She said with a somewhat strange expression.
Then she led the mother and daughter out of the elevator toward the conference room where Kuzeha was.
Eriri Sawamura felt a bit strange, but this emotion was quickly pushed aside.
She was about to meet Feather Teacher!
Eriri Sawamura felt slightly excited in her heart, after all, she was also a fan of Feather Teacher!
Just then, she noticed her hand being tightly grasped by Sayuri Sawamura.
Looking over, Sayuri Sawamura appeared even more excited than her...
"Don't say anything inappropriate later..."
Eriri Sawamura said uneasily.
She had discovered that when it came to Feather Teacher, her mother was purely a little fangirl.
If she didn't control her, who knows what outrageous things she might do!
Before her warning to Sayuri Sawamura was finished, Sonoko Machida had already led them to push open the conference room door.
Inside the conference room, a young man sat on the sofa, holding a novel titled "Metronome in Love" and reading it.
"Feather Teacher, Kashiwagi-sensei is here!"
With Sonoko Machida's words, the young man and girl's gazes met.
Seeing this familiar face that couldn't be more familiar, Eriri Sawamura's pupils suddenly contracted, and her brain crashed with a thunderous sound.
She completely froze!
Sayuri Sawamura also widened her beautiful eyes.
Looking at the young man before her with some disbelief.
"This is Feather Teacher?"
She turned to look at Sonoko Machida.
Seeing their familiar reaction, Sonoko Machida was somewhat convinced they were meeting Kuzeha for the first time.
"Yes, the genuine Feather Teacher!"
"So... his masterpiece about forbidden relationships was written when he was..."
"When he was eight years old."
Kuzeha said softly.
Hearing this, Sayuri Sawamura looked at Kuzeha with eyes full of amazement!
She never would have imagined that the light novel author she stayed up all night chasing updates for was just an elementary school student back then!
As a mother at that time, she had been emotionally stirred by the writing of an elementary school student?
Thinking of this, Sayuri Sawamura looked at the handsome young man before her and suddenly felt even more excited and fond of Feather Teacher...
"Kashiwagi-sensei, you really haven't met Feather Teacher before?"
"Maybe you saw him at school or somewhere?"
Sonoko Machida couldn't suppress her curiosity and looked at Eriri Sawamura.
Hearing her voice, Eriri Sawamura finally gradually came to her senses.
She finally understood the meaning of Sonoko Machida's words in the elevator.
There really were such coincidental things in this world!!
The character design she had drawn for the protagonist turned out to look exactly like the author!
No wonder the usually reclusive Feather Teacher had agreed to meet with her to discuss the character design...
More importantly, she had encountered Kuzeha at the convention last weekend.
And she was wearing a cosplay of the female protagonist from his debut work...
In that extremely embarrassing way...
At this moment, Eriri Sawamura's mind recalled what Kuzeha had said then:
"The coffee's fragrance!"
Thinking of this, the girl's plump thighs pressed tightly together, her delicate body feeling slightly numb.
Kuzeha looked at Eriri Sawamura, vaguely recalling the softness his nose had touched.
"I think it was at the convention..."
Kuzeha wanted to tease Eriri Sawamura with this topic, but upon hearing the word "convention," her delicate body trembled as if electrocuted.
"No!"
"Feather Teacher must be mistaken!"
"I've never been to any convention!"
Eriri Sawamura reflexively denied it three times, directly interrupting Kuzeha's words!
However, this drew a suspicious look from Sonoko Machida.
This was such a textbook tsundere cover-up!
Just then, Sayuri Sawamura beside her stepped forward.
She excitedly rushed to Kuzeha.
"Feather Teacher!"
"My name is Sayuri Sawamura, I'm Eri... uh, Kashiwagi-sensei's sister, and I'm your devoted fan!"
Sayuri Sawamura?
Sister?
Kuzeha looked at the face so close to his and raised an eyebrow.
Sayuri Sawamura, wearing the younger sister COS outfit, had indeed suppressed much of her mature feminine charm.
Combined with that ageless face, if one didn't know the name and its relationship to Eriri, one might really be fooled.
However, Kuzeha could only marvel inwardly at how elaborate the Sawamura mother and daughter's play was.
"Thank you for your support."
Kuzeha didn't expose her directly.
From the look in her beautiful eyes, Kuzeha was certain she was indeed his fan!
"Can we take a photo together?"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't leak it!"
Hearing Sayuri Sawamura's words, Kuzeha nodded.
The next moment, he felt a fragrant breeze rush into his nostrils as his arm sank into not-so-obvious softness.
Sayuri Sawamura had directly hugged his arm.
The two were pressed together in what could even be called an intimate pose.
This directly stunned Eriri Sawamura.
Watching her mother's actions, she wanted to stop her but didn't know how to speak up.
Watching Sayuri Sawamura stand on her tiptoes, holding up her phone with her other hand, Eriri Sawamura felt a strange emotion rising in her heart.
"Why did it turn out like this?"
