Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Wuzhan Away at the Beginning Chapter 112

「“General is really making the most of every opportunity when it comes to employing people, leaving no stone unturned.” Fu Xuan glanced at Jing Yuan, a smile playing on her lips.」

「“Now that we’re here, we must make the best use of everyone.” Jing Yuan wore a calm and collected expression.」

「Fu Xuan walked towards Xing and the others, and without further ado, she explained the two crises currently facing the Taibu Si: the first was that the foundation of the Qiongguan Great Array needed to be restarted, and the second was that the Stellar Nucleus evil spirits along the way needed to be eliminated by them.」

「The former could be handled by Qing Que, and the latter was entrusted to Xing and the others.」

「“Say that magic word!” Xing had a teasing look on his face.」

「“…W-what? What magic word?” Fu Xuan tilted her small head, looking completely clueless, staring blankly at them with her round, chestnut-like eyes.」

「“Oh~” March 7 understood, placing her hand on her chest: “Just a simple word, effective everywhere: ‘Please’.”」

「“…” Fu Xuan’s eyes subconsciously drifted elsewhere.」

「Although her identity as a Taibu required her to maintain the composure and seriousness of a superior at all times, the blush that quickly spread across her delicate pink cheeks betrayed the girl’s inner turmoil.」

「“…P-please, please do!”」

「March 7 finally looked satisfied: “Received!”」

“What an adorable little girl, why didn’t Xing tease her more? What a pity…” Inside the Yae Publishing House, Yae Miko was gleefully watching the girl’s embarrassment.

Just as she was pondering, a hesitant knock suddenly echoed from outside.

The visitor was Hirayama—the editor-in-chief of Yae Publishing House, second only to her, the “chief editor.”

“Oh? Hirayama, what brings you here so late? Has the light novel sales ranking for Inazuma for the past month been released?” Miko’s tone was full of longing and joy.

Inazuma was not the only light novel publisher besides Yae Publishing House, but it was undoubtedly the largest. Thanks to Miko’s unconventional and unrestrained reviewing ideas, several of the works released by Yae Publishing House each quarter always became popular throughout Teyvat… even Nata, thousands of miles away, was in short supply.

The sales ranking list almost covered all the latest light novels on the market, and Yae Publishing House usually occupied the top three spots in the top five works.

Because of this, Miko never doubted her vision.

“Where is ‘Reincarnated as the Raiden Shogun and Became Invincible’ ranked?” Before even taking the list that Hirayama handed over, Miko had already asked, “And ‘Please, My Fox Shrine Maiden’… that one is also very interesting, the results should be good, right?”

Hirayama wiped the sweat from his forehead, lowering his head into the shadows beside the candlelight: “Chief Editor Yae, you should take a look yourself.”

“Oh…?” Sensing a hint of something wrong, Miko reached out and took the list, her beautiful eyes scanning from the bottom tenth place to the first place.

Strange. Nothing…

Not even one? How could this be?

Miko frowned slightly, this was something that had never happened since the establishment of Yae Publishing House.

“Chief Editor Yae, the most popular themes right now are related to ‘Fu Xuan’ and ‘Qing Que’, Raiden Shogun, Fox Shrine Maiden stories… are already outdated.”

Hirayama swallowed, finally moving out of the shadows, “You see, the entire top ten list is related to the two of them.”

“What ‘Is It Wrong to Seek Encounters in the Taibu Si?’, ‘Little Qing Que’s Gekokujo ~Desperate Measures to Become a Taibu Si Taibu~’, ‘My Next-Door Classmate Fu Xuan Who Recites Obscure Books to Hide Her Shyness’, ‘As the Head of the Xiaoyao Sect, I Started Living Together with the Beautiful Taibu Who I Met Again After Seven Years’… and so on.”

“Especially the first place, written by the one who wrote ‘The Youthful Slacker Diviner Doesn’t Dream of a Busty and Fierce White Silk Taibu’… it is said that after seeing Qing Que, he continuously worked for three days without eating or drinking, and finally wrote the full text before the deadline, and then reached the top in one fell swoop—”

“…Well, I didn’t expect that I would be short-sighted this time.” Miko lowered her beautiful eyes slightly, and after pondering for a moment, she slowly raised her head.

“Hirayama, tomorrow morning, notify all the authors under Yae Publishing House and produce relevant materials, and immediately start the light novel solicitation related to Taibu Fu! The day after tomorrow… at the latest the day after tomorrow! I want to see the solicitation advertisements and posters covering Narukami Island!”

“We must use the fastest speed to let ‘Fu Xuan’ and ‘Qing Que’ dominate the Teyvat light novel market!”

「Under the leadership of Qing Que, the group quickly wiped out various Mara-Struck monsters inside the Taibu Si and restarted the three foundation arrays.」

「As soon as they returned to the heart of the Qiongguan Array, Fu Xuan walked towards them: “You have done well, I have sensed that the talismans of the Qiongguan Array have been relit. Next, I will interrogate Kafka, the person at the heart of the array may feel some… impact. Are you ready?”」

「“Please begin, Taibu Fu.” Welt gestured “please”.」

「Then, two Cloud Knights escorted Kafka over.」

「At this moment, Kafka had removed her makeup, without eyeshadow and lipstick, that slightly sharp beauty was faded away, but after fading away… a touch of tenderness finally diffused from the depths of her eyes, like the mist on a spring lake.」

「“Is such a big battle necessary? I said I would cooperate with you.” Kafka’s tone seemed very docile.」

“So beautiful! Kafka looks like this!”

Denji “woofed” and jumped up from the sofa, took out his phone from his pocket, and kept taking pictures of the sky.

For a time, the sound of “click” kept echoing in Aki Hayakawa’s living room.

“…Is this still Kafka?” Power was a little unbelievable, the Kafka in her memory wasn’t this delicate, right? Could it be that this is her true nature?

No, no, no! Power quickly shook her head, trying to remove the image of “gentle Kafka” from her mind.

“Denji, don’t be fooled by this kind of woman, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive you! Don’t look at her as if she needs protection now, maybe she will kick you in the head with high heels when you turn around!”

Power put on a deliberately threatening expression, and two cute little tiger teeth were accidentally revealed.

“Hmm… that’s not bad, is it?” Denji thought for a while with his almost useless brain, “…No, I’d say that’s pretty great! If she’s willing to go on a date with me, I can do anything!”

“Even if it means betraying Makima?” Power subconsciously threw out a “death question.”

“Well… although Miss Makima and I went on a date together, we just watched a movie and held hands a little.”

Denji hesitated, thought again and again, and said: “If Kafka is willing to kiss me, willing to be my girlfriend… it’s not impossible, but I can’t guarantee that I won’t fall in love with Miss Makima again in the future.”

“Tsk, Denji… disgusting.” Power turned her gaze away from him in disgust.
