At the reception, Utaha was undoubtedly the focus of attention.
Young and beautiful with a hot figure and a strong scientific atmosphere.
In contrast, the other authors were all well over middle age. Baldness caused by long-term liver failure.
At receptions, many people drink, and the effects of alcohol always make people develop in the usual depressive way.
But when they saw Ryuji beside Utaha, their hearts sank.
After all, that girl already had a boyfriend, so it wouldn't be polite to strike up a conversation.
Of course, not all authors are so rational.
Where there's light, there's darkness, so naturally there's a disgusting fat nerd author.
"Who is that girl, she looks so beautiful!" A disgustingly fat man was drooling as he looked up at Utaha.
He's a famous fat hog in the industry, a serious nerd, and loves to fantasize.
He has lived up to his 'gift' and has written many light industrial novels that are not as nutritious but are fun for otaku to read.
Perhaps he often portrays the image of the protagonist, and he has the feeling of "I am the protagonist" in his character. His tone and demeanor are a bit arrogant, and his interpersonal relationships in the author's environment are not good.
On the other hand, Utaha and Ryuji visited the reception holding hands.
Utaha brought a glass of red wine from the maid, and gently twirled the wine glass like an adult.
"Utaha Senpai seems to be underage. Aren't you doing something blatantly breaking the law?" Ryuji complained.
It is common knowledge in Japan to drink alcohol after the age of 20.
Utaha gave Ryuji a white stare.
"If you don't tell me, who here knows that I'm a high school student?"
Utaha has a mature appearance, and no one will suspect that she is an adult when she wears an evening gown.
She tasted alcohol for the first time in her life.
Fortunately, this was only a light wine, and she wasn't going to make a fool of herself.
The wine remained on her lips, she obviously didn't have lipstick on, but it shone like a blazing fire.
Unable to put it down, Utaha manages to attack Ryuji with wine stained lips.
"In this way, you are an accessory." Utaha whispered in Ryuji's ear.
"Too bad Senpai discovered the trick," Ryuji said cooperatively.
Utaha lifted Ryuji's chin domineeringly, "If you don't want others to know, just obey me!"
This sentence is usually said by Ryuji to other girls, it feels a bit strange to be treated like this by Utaha at this time.
"Are you going to change me into your form?" Ryuji asked amusedly.
Utaha blushed and spat.
In terms of flirting skills, she was no match for Ryuji.
The mood was right, and the relationship between Ryuji and Utaha quickly heated up. If nothing happens, both will appear in certain hotel rooms.
At this time, the excellent atmosphere was broken by a disgusting sound, and a short and fat man appeared in front of Ryuji and Utaha.
"Miss, I am the author of [Angels Fall in Love with Me] and [Devil's Temptation], Serizawa Akito." The fat author introduced himself.
Utaha frowned deeply, and the other party's eyes were not hidden at all, which made her feel disgusted.
Ryuji sneered, unhappy to be interrupted: "I kind of know why you didn't want to come to a place like this before."
Too many disgusting people!
Seeing that the two of them ignored him and kept talking to each other, and felt that he was so humiliated. He is a famous author, do you know how popular his light novels are?
"Do you know who I am! Have you ever heard of my name!" roared the fat author.
Ryuji thought, and suddenly realized: "I remember."
The fat man nodded in satisfaction.
"Looks like a man who writes erotic novels. Because the writing was so bad, I threw the book away after reading half a page."
The fat man's eyes fell on Ryuji.
"Do you know how popular my novel is? My last novel sold 500,000 copies!"
Is 500,000 copies a lot?
Not too little indeed.
However, the first four volumes of Utaha's [Love Metronome] had accumulated up to 400,000 copies, and the sales volume of the fifth volume was at least 500,000 copies!
The two's scores seemed to be about the same, but [Love Metronome] was only Utaha's first work, and at first glance it was clear who was stronger and who was weaker.
Ryuji shook his head, "How disappointing, let's go straight away."
Utaha's face was slightly cold, and her mood was very bad.
It's her first time meeting Ryuji on a formal date!
Ryuji smiled: "Don't frown, let's go somewhere else, the night is still very long."
Ryuji's words soothed Utaha's face greatly, and she nodded in agreement.
