“Welcome home, master~ . ”
Kana Takamori was wearing a white maid costume with a white collared plain long dress and an ap.r.o.n with white lotus leaf edges .
She had a delicate face and a sweet voice . By looking at her appearance, she was no doubt the star of Moe-chan"s Maid Cafe . She was part of the reason why the cafe was so popular until now .
Girls with good looking appearances were always favored by the majority . Most of the customers at the Moe-chan"s Maid Cafe were men and tourists who paid a visit because of the enormous popularity . Although there were a lot of other girls who were prettier than Kana Takamori online, anyone would know that those photos online were edited through photoshop . It would be challenging to meet that level of beauty on the streets .
Today, Kana Takamori had finally met with a girl who was prettier than herself . She felt ashamed of looking at Chiba s.h.i.+ori"s delicate cheeks . Fortunately, she did not forget about her ident.i.ty . She then smiled and said, “Please come with me, masters~ . ”
“There"s no need to search for seats . We"re here for the offline party of [Light Novel s.p.a.ce] . ” Moe-chan"s Cafe was a popular maid-themed cafe in Akihabara, and therefore, they no longer had to send out their staff to distribute flyers to bring in more customers .
“Masters, allow me to ask, are you, two novelists? If yes, you two are amazing!” Kana Takamori was looking at Kazuki in an adoring manner, but in return, she was. .h.i.t by a pair of keen eyes . She was shocked . By instinct, she lowered her head, not knowing why this pair of eyes made her feel diffident .
Eight people were sitting on the table, which was a.s.sembled by three smaller tables . “…The shaping of the side characters is important . If the supporting characters could be created vividly, then we would be able to inject soul to the book itself . ”

“What you said is right, but you should know that most readers would pay their attention to the main character . If the main character were not well-shaped, no matter how much effort we put to shape the supporting characters, it would be a waste of time and energy . Rather than spending tons of hours on shaping the supporting characters, we should focus on how to shape a vivid main character… The plot is like the face value of a person, which would be the first impression for the readers . The main character represents the connotation of the person . ”
The two were already arguing when Kazuki and Chiba s.h.i.+ori arrived . Well, more like debating . Upon hearing their conversation, Kazuki and Chiba s.h.i.+ori could clearly identify that they were "Matcha Can" and "The Man of Darkness . "
These two were similar to those "best buddies forever" in the group chat as they would argue every day because of different opinions . Whenever he peek at his phone, he could see them arguing . They didn"t seem to stop arguing even during offline gatherings .
Although these two were arguing most of the time, they had a good relations.h.i.+p with each other . Rumour said that they met offline once in the past . Both of them expressed their disappointment in the group chat because they thought this person would be a girl pretending to be a guy online . However, they never thought that he would actually be a guy . Even so, after that, meet up, their relations.h.i.+p had become even better .
But quickly, both of them stopped talking, and everyone who was seated looked at Chiba s.h.i.+ori . Their expressions were exaggerated, and their eyes were full of shock . There was even a woman over 20 years old who stood up immediately and shouted, “Oh my G.o.d, you are the most gorgeous lady I have ever seen! Let me guess who you are… . . ”
“I am GenterKun . ” Chiba s.h.i.+ori"s personality was totally different on the internet and offline . She ted to use a lot of expressions on the internet, but in reality, she was way quieter . Usually, she would be cooperative as it would further enhance her familiarity with everyone during the first meetup because she believed that communication would be the key if she wanted to blend with everyone . However, she knew that Kazuki was anxious to know about Chiyoko and, therefore, so she directly said after a wink, “Miss Kucha, you would never have guessed it correctly anyway… . . ”
“What?”
“Really?”
“It"s impossible! Aren"t you a guy? You had even exposed your voice before!”

After hearing Chiba s.h.i.+ori reveal her online name, everyone was shocked .
“It was the voice changer that did the job . ” Chiba s.h.i.+ori pulled Kazuki"s hand and sat down . She immediately introduced him to the community to s.h.i.+ft the attention when she noticed that everyone was focusing on her . “This is my boyfriend, Kazuki, the Mage that I"ve added into the group . He followed along because he was worried about me . ”
As they had set their ident.i.ties previously, therefore Kazuki only nodded and said, “Hi everyone…”
“Understood! If I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I would follow her everywhere too . ”
“Ugh! I was about to ask whether Genterchan had a boyfriend or not . ”
“Please . Wake up and take a look at the mirror!”
“Ugh, I fell out of love suddenly . ”
“My heart is in pain!”
“That"s enough . Since s.h.i.+ori-chan is here with her boyfriend, let us…” Miss Kucha pa.s.sed over the drinks to Chiba s.h.i.+ori and Kazuki while signaling them to drink . She raised her cup in her hand while the rest followed and shouted, “Cheers!”

After the welcoming ceremony, everyone started talking with low voices . However, a lot of them were eager to speak with Chiba s.h.i.+ori because she was the only senior in the group chat .
However… with her being too beautiful, it would also be a barrier, but this barrier was soon be crushed . There were quite a number of adults in the [Light Novel s.p.a.ce] gathering . Few of them were over 30 years old, and therefore, they were able to come out with various topics with their matured minds .
Moreover, Chiba s.h.i.+ori did not forget the purpose of her trip . She looked around and asked, “Where is Chiyoko? I would like to ask her a few questions . ”
Chiyoko was one of the founders of the group, but during her introduction, she did not notice Chiyoko .
“Chiyoko is not here yet . ” Across her, Miss Kucha looked helpless, “I guess she went crazy rus.h.i.+ng for her ma.n.u.script . She probably put her phone on silent as she has been missing a few calls from me . ”
Everyone in the group chat knew that Chiyoko would put her phone on silent whenever she was rus.h.i.+ng for her ma.n.u.scripts . Any disturbances would easily distract her progress .
Upon hearing the words, Chiba s.h.i.+ori could feel the disappointment from Kazuki . She hesitated for a second and said, “Is she coming to this gathering today?”
“She might be able to finish her ma.n.u.script today and catch the last train here,” said Miss Kucha .
They were all novelists, so they could clearly understand that when the time comes for submitting ma.n.u.scripts, they would be required to be quick in writing . Some works might even need them to come up with 10,000 words in an hour when they are close to the deadline .
But of course, if you got stuck in the writing progress, that would be a different story .
“We can walk around for a while . If we still don"t see Chiyoko by that time, then we shall pay her a visit at her house . ” White Sakura smiled upon their conversation . “I remember that Chiyoko lives at Akihabara . We shall buy her some gifts before visiting her so that she won"t be mad even if she is rus.h.i.+ng for her ma.n.u.script . ”
“I think that it"s a good idea too . ”
The rest agreed when they heard this statement .
After hearing this, Kazuki"s mood was elevated . The time he had spent today would not be a waste if he could meet with Chiyoko .
