"Yes, after all, I have been waiting for so many years."
At this time, Teshima's gaze had turned to the distance, as if he was expecting his lover to appear.
"Mr. Teshima, I hope the lover you are waiting for can meet you soon. Goodbye!"
After saying goodbye to Teshima, the three of them set out on their journey home.
"Traveler, do you have Mora?" Ueno Chiki wanted to borrow some Mora from Yingmei to go to the grocery store to buy some food and some daily necessities.
In the future, Yingmei and Paimon will live with him for a while.
"Yes, but not much." Yingmei replied a little embarrassedly.
"Lend me some."
"How much do you want to borrow?"
"how much do you have?"
"one hundred."
"Pretend I didn't ask."
Since he couldn't count on the poor girl Yingmei, he had to go to Yaedo to settle his royalties first.
........
At dusk, Ueno Chiki brought Yingmei and Paimon to Yaedo.
Kuroda, standing in the middle of the counter, looked much better than before and no longer so depressed.
"Editor Kuroda, long time no see. I came here today to settle my royalties."
"Ueno Chiki, the sales of Young Duck are still good recently. We have sold 100 copies, and the royalties are only 10,000 Mora. But according to my estimation, this light novel has no more sales potential. It would be good if the total sales can reach 500 copies. You need to work harder on writing your next novel."
At this time, Yingmei came forward and said, "Qianshu, can you give me a copy of your light novel?"
Kuroda was very surprised that Yingmei called Ueno Chiki so affectionately, and couldn't help asking, "Ueno Chiki, is this your foreign girlfriend?"
"No, no, no, she is a famous traveler and a good friend I just met not long ago."
Ueno Chiki hurriedly explained.
"Are you the Traveler who quelled the Mondstadt dragon disaster and helped Liyue defeat the Whirlpool Demon? I've heard a lot about you." Kuroda looked at her carefully and found that she was no different from an ordinary girl. The only difference was that she had a flying pet beside her?
Yingmei raised her eyebrows slightly and put her hands on her hips, very proud, "I didn't expect that even in the closed-off country of Inazuma, someone would know me, hahahaha."
Paimon and Chiki Ueno covered their foreheads with their hands, speechless at Yingmei who didn't care about her own image at all.
But it is Yingmei's innocent character that is so attractive to them.
It was also the first time for Kuroda to see such a heroic figure. It was truly an eye-opener.
"Traveler, if there is a light novel you want to read, Yaedou can give it to you for free."
Yingmei's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"
"of course it's true."
"I want the book 'The Husband is Weak, ......'."
At this moment, Ueno Chiki just wanted to find a crack to crawl into.
How outrageous this is!
A young girl actually went to a light novel store and specifically asked for some erotic light novels.
The key point is that this light novel was written by someone close to her.
Kuroda was completely stunned, and it took him a long time to recover from his shock. He looked at Ueno Chiki with a complicated expression, and his eyes were filled with thousands of words.
"Traveler, I'm sorry, this book is banned now, and I don't have it here. If you want it, you can ask, "
"Cough cough." Ueno Chiki's dry cough interrupted Kuroda's words in time.
Yingmei felt sorry that such a good book was banned. "What a pity! In that case, please give me a copy of Young Duck."
Kuroda took a book from the bookshelf and handed it to her.
She laughed out loud when she saw the cover because the person on the cover looked very much like someone she knew, Prince Tartaglia.
Chapter 35 First Intimate Contact
Aoi, the owner of the Kujuku Monozukuri store, stood behind the counter with a negative look on her face, looking like she had encountered something bad.
"Boss Aoi, what's wrong with you? Have you encountered any difficulties?" asked Chiki Ueno who came to shop.
Aoi looked resentful and said in a sad tone, "Someone owes me a large sum of money for goods and won't pay it back."
"This is indeed a very sad thing, but who is so bold as to owe you money for the goods? Everyone knows that you have a close relationship with that person in Tianling Fengxing?"
"It was that bastard Kurosawa. I thought that as a member of the Shogunate's army, he wouldn't deny his debt, but he hasn't been seen for such a long time. My friends went to ask him for the debt, but he said he didn't remember it at all. It's really infuriating!"
Ueno Chiki struggled to control his facial expression and not laugh out loud.
If others encounter such a thing, they will express sympathy and indignation, but when the unscrupulous merchant Kui encounters such a thing, he will only applaud in his heart.
"Oh, I didn't expect Kurosawa to be such a person." In front of Aoi, he could only share the same hatred for the enemy, he couldn't just gloat over his misfortune.
"Boss Kui, I came here to buy 50 kilograms of rice, 2 kilograms of meat and some seasonings."
The coming business finally made Aoi feel much better. She cheered herself up, called a waiter, and brought the goods that Ueno Chiki wanted to buy to him.
"Traveler, put these things into your space backpack first."
"okay."
As Yingmei thought about it, the goods immediately disappeared and were put into her space backpack.
Ueno Chiki looked at this scene with envy. Yingmei's space backpack was really useful.
The three of them returned to Ueno Chiki's home in the dim twilight.
Yingmei found a comfortable place in front of the door, opened "Young Duck", and started reading with Paimon.
Chiki Ueno began to prepare the ingredients for today's dinner.
Soon, a pretty good dinner was ready, including braised pork, stir-fried vegetables and vegetable soup.
Yingmei was drooling at the delicious dinner.
She quickly picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks. The meat was bright red in color, with the right amount of fat and lean. You could almost see the rich gravy and tempting aroma.
She took a light bite, and the braised pork spread in her mouth. The skin was crispy, the meat was tender, and her mouth was full of the taste of happiness.
"This is so delicious! Although it's not as good as Xiangling's, it's really delicious!"
After expressing this emotion, Yingmei swept away the plate of braised pork without caring about her image.
"Traveler, don't eat alone." Paimon quickly joined the battle.
Chiki Ueno looked at the two people fighting for the food like hungry wolves, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore because the two men ate too fast.
In the blink of an eye, the whole plate of braised pork was finished by them.
They turned to the refreshing farm-style stir-fry.
"Hey, leave some for me."
But Yingmei and Paimon, who were already bloodthirsty, didn't care about him and continued to eat voraciously.
In desperation, Ueno Chiki had to join this fierce battle.
A three-way melee began.
……
After dinner, night fell over the earth.
Yingmei lay on the mat on the ground without any image, looking very satisfied, "This is life!"
"It would be nice if it could be like this every day." Paimeng, who was lying beside her, also had a happy look on his face.
"Hey, Qianshu, tell us a story. Aren't you a light novel writer? This should be easy for you."
Chiki Ueno was also bored, so she started telling Yingmei a story.
The Water Dragon King Navilette was looking for a husband for his daughter Fu Fu. His requirements were simple: as long as he weighed more than 100 kilograms, he would be accepted.
The turtle was very excited when he heard this and came to be weighed, but unfortunately it was only 99 kilograms.
On the way home, he met a small shrimp.
He suddenly had an idea and said to Xiao Xiami, "I weigh exactly 99 kilograms, and you weigh exactly 1 kilogram. You can hide in my ear, and when I go again tomorrow, it will be exactly 100 kilograms. If I become the son-in-law of the Dragon King, I will share half of the wealth and glory with you."
When Xiao Xiami heard this, he was overjoyed and agreed.
The next day, the turtle confidently stepped on the scale and found that he weighed exactly 100 kilograms.
But at this moment, an embarrassing scene occurred. The little shrimp happened to come out of the turtle's ear and was seen by the Dragon King Navilette.
Villette asked angrily, "What are you doing, little shrimp?"
Little Shrimp said nervously, "I...I...I am telling a story to Wang Ba."
After the story was told, Yingmei scratched her head and said, "Is this the end? Is there no sequel?"
Seeing her still puzzled expression, Ueno Chiki repeated, "I'm telling a story to a turtle."
At this time, Paimon had already reacted, "Ueno Chiki, you are so mean. I have decided to make you number one on my list of annoying people."
Yingmei was still confused, "What's wrong with Qianshu?"
Paimon held her forehead with her hand. She was really about to be defeated by Yingmei.
"I am telling a story to Wang Ba. Qian Shu is the storyteller, so who is Wang Ba?"
Yingmei finally came to her senses, and when she thought about how silly she had been just now, she became extremely angry.
She was so angry that she pounced on Ueno Chiki and tickled him madly.
Because Yingmei was a girl, Ueno Chiki was too embarrassed to use violence and could only beg for mercy from her.
After a while, Yingmei finally let him go.
