The mystery of death among mortals is not a rare thing, but to truly understand this phenomenon might reveal a much deeper truth on why something exist.

Towards the return of Botis's Grade 0 Sealed Artifact or the restoration of its normal condition, The Hermit Cattleya and Justice Audrey had made a preliminary plan. After all, they weren't confident at killing a demigod in such a short period of time.
If not for the fact that Botis had fallen into a trap having suffered the lethal blows of "Mental Plague,""Sleeping Beauty," and "Frenzy" and putting him into a crazy and incoherent state, he actually had many opportunities to "Teleport" away without being stopped.
In that case, Cattleya and Audrey could only wait for Botis to return to a "safe house" and release Fors. Once the Eye of Mystery Prying provided them feedback, they could remotely create an opportunity for Miss Magician to summon the Historical Void projection.
At this moment, facing Botis, who was on the path towards losing control with no way to reverse it and his crazy attempt to fully activate Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, Cattleya and Audrey—one right in the middle of the scene and the other hiding outside the forest—simultaneously took the same action. They took out a translucent dark charm and recited a word in Jotun:
"Star!"
This was a "Teleportation" charm. Following the patterns, labels, and symbols of the "Record" on the Leymano's Travels, Klein had made a charm himself.
Since Sefirah Castle could mobilize the powers of the Marauder pathway, there was no reason not to respond to the pleas of the Apprentice domain!
As for the materials needed for the charms, be it Mysticologist Cattleya or Traveler Fors, the both of them had a certain level of understanding towards it. There was no need for Mr. Fool to teach them.
When the two of them "Teleported" away with the triggering of the charm—having plans to come back after a minute or two to confirm the situation—there was a cruel smile on Botis's face. His eyes were filled with madness as his actions suddenly stiffened.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the third level of the Box of the Great Old Ones!
It was extremely heavy, as though it was enveloped and suppressed by layers of forces. There was no way to activate it.
This made Botis feel like he was attempting to open a new world, not a box.
In an instant, he sensed something, and the madness in his eyes disappeared. Extreme astonishment and fear arose in him.
Tick tock. Tick tock. Wisps of light slid down from Botis's body. When they touched the ground, they transformed into insects formed from resplendent starlight.
The insects' bodies were bent into a semi-circle, forming a magical glow that resembled illusory doors.
At this moment, his incomplete Mythical Creature form suddenly collapsed and disintegrated in an irresistible manner.
The two eyeballs of his eyes landed on the ground and were stained with dust.
These two eyeballs were frozen with an indescribable look of horror. They were maintained perfectly, completely different from the other parts of his body.
A Sequence 4 Secrets Sorcerer died just like that.
Pa!
The Box of the Great Old Ones, which had a silver-black surface with many gems embedded in it, dropped beside Botis's eyes, just like a jewelry box commonly seen in aristocratic families.
Above the gray fog, in the ancient palace, Klein heaved a sigh of relief as he lowered the Sea God Scepter in his hand in puzzlement.
He was just moments from activating the power of Sefirah Castle and using the level of an angel to conjure "Lightning Storm." He wanted to prevent Botis from opening the third level of the Box of the Great Old Ones, but the Saint of Secrets's mutually destructive counterattack had failed to succeed. He encountered an unexpected failure from the very beginning.
After Xio left the first battlefield, she immediately followed the plan and prayed to Mr. Fool. With this, Klein found an opportunity to enter the world above the gray fog. Through the crimson star corresponding to The Hermit and Justice, he monitored the battle.
As she moved to the second battlefield, Audrey found an opportunity to pray, so that Klein could use her crimson star to directly interfere with the real world.
This was also the reason why Audrey had arrived at her destination later than The Hermit Cattleya.
According to what Arrodes said, the third level of the Box of the Great Old Ones contains something very terrifying. I thought that the True Creator had given it to him in order to create a terrifying disaster at the critical moment, so as to showcase the true colors of an evil god. Who knew that it couldn't be opened… Klein glanced at the crimson star representing The Magician and discovered that it was covered in a layer of black ash. It seemed to have coagulated, making it impossible for him to see the scene inside to confirm Miss Magician's condition.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation—evidence of how high a level and odd the Box of the Great Old Ones was.
As for "Sleeping Beauty" magic and the Spear of Longinus that he saw, he came up with some ideas.
After learning of the powers of Mystical Re-enactment at the private gathering, Klein overturned his speculations about the fairy tale magic that Bernadette had.
He had originally believed that the Emperor had specially created the stories for his daughter based on the fairy tales on Earth, or that after Bernadette's father passed away, she had deliberately reenacted the fairy tales he had told her about as a way to express her grief. From the looks of it, the answer likely wasn't this. Some of the fairy tales before the First Epoch might have been "mysterious."
This meant that those fairy tales originated from mysterious incidents that had happened in real life. They were spread among the people and gradually became stories. They were recorded down by writers and further embellished.
This corresponds to the prophecy regarding the time when the stars are right. Mystery and has never left and has always been around. It was just that in the "Earth Era" before the First Epoch, they were suppressed by some kind of power or sealed…
If that's really the case, some of the legends and stories on Earth can be explained from another angle… It's no wonder there's a Spear of Longinus… I wonder if the Chinese fable of the ethereal utopia, Peach Blossom Spring, is involved in mystery. I'll tell Ma'am Hermit later and see if she can create new magic according to this…
I wonder if Bernadette became a Mysticologist before the Emperor perished. If she did, it's hard to say if these fairy tale magics were created by the Emperor, a Sequence 1 Beyonder of the Mystery Pryer pathway, or by Queen Mystic Bernadette… But no matter what, the Emperor should have discovered that these fairy tales are also mysterious in his later years, and also that he could draw power from them. Well, there's no corresponding diary entry from Bernadette. I can't see the Emperor's reaction and his guesses…
One of the reasons he insisted on going to the moon is to verify certain things.
It's a pity that most of the myths are fake. There's no way to draw on their power. The novels of the Internet era are the same… Klein sighed slightly as he leaned back into his chair and continued paying attention to the battlefield.
In the collapsed forest, The Hermit Cattleya and Justice Audrey faced the abnormal changes suffered by Botis and tacitly gave up injecting their spirituality to use the charms.
Despite maintaining her "Dragon Transformation" state, Audrey was still hiding in the darkness outside the forest, wary of any accidents or official demigods who might have sensed the commotion and come to investigate.
As for The Hermit Cattleya, she was pushed to the spot where Botis had died by the wind. She carefully avoided the Box of the Great Old Ones.
Due to the fact that a Scribe could use many powers, a demigod-level Sealed Artifact would often have extremely negative effects. Apart from the Box of the Great Old Ones, Botis only left behind a black pocket which seemed to be part of his robe.
Also, there was also the gathered Beyonder characteristic, two eyeballs, and about ten Worms of Star. Most of the Worms of Star had been destroyed.
Considering the horror displayed by the Box of the Great Old Ones, as well as the fact that Botis was a high-ranking member of the Aurora Order and could be blessed by a god, Cattleya didn't rashly pick up the items. She was afraid that an accident would happen, causing the situation to develop negatively.
Previously, during the private gatherings, they had communicated with each other on how to handle such situations. That was, if they had the time and opportunity, they would first sacrifice the item to Mr. Fool and then distribute it above the gray fog. After all, many items might bring about unknown dangers if they were to come into contact with items with unknown negative effects. And there was a high probability that Botis had a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.
Sometimes, merely knowing the existence of a Sealed Artifact of this level was enough to cause a sudden death.
According to what The Star Leonard had said, it was best not to come into contact with such Sealed Artifacts. It was best not to ask, describe, or pry into it. Only a true high-level existence could suppress them.
Without any hesitation, Cattleya took out silver candles and other ritual items from the various hidden pockets of her purple-patterned black robe. She then set up a simple sacrificial ritual.
During this process, she pinched her lips, whistled, and created an invisible servant helper. It took about ten seconds to set up the altar.
After quickly reciting Mr. Fool's honorific name and using spiritual materials to open the Door of Sacrifice and Bestowment, Cattleya heaved a sigh of relief. She got the invisible servant to move the Box of the Great Old Ones, the black pocket, two eyeballs, the gathered Beyonder characteristic, and the nine Worms of Star over to the altar.
With a whoosh, the items flew up and passed through the illusory door.
When Cattleya saw this, she immediately pinched her lower lip with her thumb and index finger, preparing to whistle once again to dispel the invisible servant.
But amidst the whistling, the "servant" remained motionless, as though it had nothing to do with Cattleya.
The Hermit Cattleya's eyelids twitched as she clenched her right hand into a fist and pushed it to her mouth, preparing to use the Horn of Magic.
At that moment, a blazing silvery-white appeared out of nowhere at the altar. Layers of bolts of lightning formed a destructive storm that enveloped the invisible servant in the middle.
All of this quickly calmed down as the mutated servant was completely destroyed.
Cattleya exhaled and lowered her head, sincerely thanking Mr. Fool.
Then, she followed the ritual's ending procedure and packed her belongings. She used the "Snow White" magic, which was closer to a prophecy technique, to clear the scene of its traces.
And at this moment, Audrey had already used the Teleportation charm from before and left the scene.
Cattleya looked around, and considering that Mr. Fool might need something more ritualistic, she took out a card from her pocket and threw it in the middle of the collapsing forest.
The card was half inserted into the soil, revealing the image of an old man holding a glass lamp and staff as he explored alone: The Hermit of the tarot cards.

Vaibhav entered his chamber and called Aditya "Bring me the books about history of these expeditions to Triya island and this world" Aditya replied, "There are only three handwritten books about our history. Two are present in the temple which are stored so that in the future if some calamity occurs, we should be able to provide the future with the history of Manavas. There is only one public book which is currently in possession of Princess Shanaya as per our spy and she is about to finish reading it." 

"Why didn't you make more copies of the book?" asked Vaibhav. Aditya replied "Prince, the book is so big that one copy will take two years to complete. Writers with good and understandable handwriting is rare to find." Vaibhav knew the feeling of difficulty in reading bad hand writing because he had to check the papers of students in the school and he used to get disgusted with the ones who had bad handwriting. He asked "What more information do you have on her?" Aditya answered "According to the spy, she likes history. She wants to make a better world just like it used to be in the past right before Demis discovered Ekam island." Vaibhav asked Aditya about his brother. Aditya said "Prince Pratik is a great warrior and he wants to eradicate the Demis by brute force. He thinks Manava's history with Demis is just war and peace is illusion. So he wants to change the present condition that Manavas are going through." Vaibhav sent Aditya back and asked him to keep eyes on them. He started laughing "Princess Shanaya seeks the past and Pratik seeks the present and I? I am just slacking but I'll change. I want the future of this land to be prosperous by taking the right decisions in the present. I'll be the ruler and future will be bright. Such a poetic thing for all the siblings caring for different timelines. First thing tomorrow, Shanaya I'm coming for the book."

(Meanwhile in Pratik's chamber)
Pratik was thinking while sitting on a chair " Father you did the partiality again. How many times am I going to be looked down upon? But wait let's think logically. As father told us that he would take 150 soldiers and two ships on the island, he must be thinking of attacking the island. He told us about ruling three cities on our own, so he is doubting that he will return safely. He is thinking on stepping foot on the island instead of waiting in food ship and taking useless information on the creature. So if he is going to die anyways the question remains is should I capture both Vaibhav and Shanaya right after father leaves or should I wait? If I capture them and jail them then I'll prevent the war that might happen in future but what if father returns? I'll have to wait for six months and after that I'll attack Vaibhav first as he is the weakest and then Shanaya it will be you. There is one more problem and that is if the Demis attack and settle in Goda then I won't be able to attack and win Goda easily. Vaibhav has to hold his ground for six months against them. If the battle in Goda rather becomes difficult then I won't stand chance against Shanaya with a less soldier strength. So I'll send some soldiers with Vaibhav, the time he leaves for Goda. Yes it's brilliant idea as the soldiers will not only protect the city from Demis but also they will gather information on Vaibhav. This is perfect while Shanaya having the soldiers who have great morale so I'm sure she will refuse my help against Demis but in the end after capturing Vaibhav, you won't last for long. Now enjoy your remaining six months my dear siblings. Mom you will have to wait for six months and our dear family will be joining you so don't feel lonely until then." 

(Meanwhile in Shanaya's chamber)
Shanaya was reading the book and she finally completed it after five months of dedicated reading. After completing the book she looked at the ocean from her window. She saw two big ships and a small ship. The small ship was getting loaded with the food while the bigger ones were getting loaded with weapons like canons, swords and bows. She started thinking about what if her father never returned. She was sure that a civil war might break out. She was thinking "If the war really breaks out between us then Pratik will have the advantage as he has the capital's best force and he is ruling over the biggest and most advanced city. While Vaibhav, he has the advantage of having big mountains that can benefit in the war if used properly. And here I am with no clear advantage. If my brothers are actually smart then Pratik will attack before someone launches attack on him as it will be a waste if he can't win by such a great force. While Vaibhav will only defend and take advantage of natural hidings. So that means I have to wait for the right time. I hope Pratik will attack Vaibhav because if that happens, I'll have my soldiers attack the capital. Pratik has the disadvantage that I know the capital and where the blind spots are. Vaibhav, I'm really sorry for dissing you since childhood but I don't think someone like you suits to be the king, so in the end it is me who should sit on the throne. After the war I won't kill you two but I will use you two against the Demis."

As the night passes, time is coming for the king to sail his ship to the mystery island of Triya and all the prince have already made their motives clear to rule the world the way they want.....

A 26-year-old guy gets reincarnated into other world as a prince. He learns the way of hard life as a prince as he battles his siblings for the throne...

The sunglasses system brought great benefits to Tang En.

    For example, Glenn Feyero, project evaluation 94, casting 97, these two producers are enough to kill all Hollywood gold producers!

    However, production: 0.

    Turns out to be a stupid person who doesn't even have a little bit of production ability. Such a person can mix the position of producer or production assistant in Hollywood?

    Stupid person dreaming!

    But Tang En is not the same. He can appoint Glenn Fayero as a production assistant, and only need to borrow his super high value of "project evaluation" and "casting".

    After spending an entire afternoon, Tang En finally sorted out his royal team——

    production assistants: Morgan Carey, Glenn Fello,

    director assistants of Irene Carey : David Knight, Eyre Bull Smith, Andy Thompson,

    Market Analyst: Andrew O'Hare,

    Art Analyst: Manora Dages,

    Screenwriter: Dickon Whistler, Bryce Roach, Nia Vadalas,

    Photography: Alice Silk Moore, Vincent Bolton

    Lights ...

    Town recorded 42 names on paper.

    Of course, this is by no means the entire crew of a crew. They are just Tang En's core team members. Once shooting a blockbuster, additional temporary crew members need to be recruited to expand the crew to a hundred or two hundred people.

    The 42 carefully selected candidates by Tang En will inevitably accompany him to the peak of life in their respective positions.

    Dunn called George Paxton and handed the paper over. "Contact the 42 people right away. If it's out of town, travel expenses are reimbursed. In the name of Tangen Pictures and me, I will say ... Donn Walker invites They came to Hollywood to create brilliant! "

    ...

    Tang En's candidates are those from the bottom of life who have the opportunity to come to work in the now well-known Tang En Pictures, who can come to Hollywood to find a dream, who will refuse?

    Three days later, all 42 people were in place and none were absent!

    After a brilliant speech, everyone officially became a member of Tang En Films.

    Tang En called his market analyst Andrew O'Hare, art analyst Manora Dages, and three screenwriters to his office.

    These five people will become Tang En's most core team in film in the future.

    Dickon Whistler is good at writing action, war, and historical drama; Bryce Roach is good at science fiction, mystery, and reasoning; Nia Vadalas is a woman who is good at family, ethics, comedy, and feminine orientation. works.

    The three screenwriters took the long and short stories, and the two analysts picked the wrong to create an excellent script.

    Tang En now needs to hurry up and come up with a project, complete the filming, and then release it next year, hit the stage with "Blade Warrior".

    This project cannot be invested too high, but it needs a very wide audience and an excellent box office to complete the crushing of "Blade Warrior". Tang En naturally thought of the classic comedy "The Hangover".

    "I'll make a long story short. The company now needs to make a movie as soon as possible and it will be released next year. So now we need to set up a project as soon as possible and write a script ..."

    Before Tang En's words fell, Bryce Roach interrupted him "Boss, since you're in a hurry, why write a new story? It takes at least two or three months to write a success story?"

    "Huh?" Tang En frowned, "What do you mean?"

    Bryce Roach said:. "a ready-made ah, we are registered in the writers' union,"

    Dunn react, blinked, "you mean ... you are registered at the writers Guild screenplay?"

    "Yes ah."

    three The screenwriters nodded.

    Tang En sighed, these three screenwriters have superb story writing ability, but the market vision is really bad. Can they write a good story without the help of a market analyst?

    Tang En didn't believe it, but after all it was the first time to meet, and it was not good to dispel their enthusiasm. "Well, tell me, what scripts have you written."

    Bryce Roach laughed: "I wrote one The detective script "Men in Black" ... "

" No! "Andrew O'Hair interrupted immediately." It is not the 1950s or 1960s. This traditional type of detective film has no box office market. "

    Bryce · Roach's face changed, a little angry.

    Tang En rightly said: "Andrew is my deserved market analyst and the highest authority of the company's current film market analysis. He said no, it must not!"

    Andrew O'Hair smiled and gave Tang En a grateful look, Bryce Roach grinned and said nothing more.

    Dickon Whistler, with a screenwriter ability of 99, was stuttering, "I ... I won't ... don't say much, here ... this is the script."

    Tang En took the script, and the cover page read "Scarlet Residue" Shadow ", a very sad name.

    Except for Dickon Whistler, several others gathered around to read the script.

    The script is a concise version with more than twenty pages. Tang En turned it over for half an hour and then sighed.

    It really is a good story!

    This script tells the story of an American veteran.

    He was a hero of the Gulf War. After being shot in the leg and amputated on his right leg, he was praised by Congress, returned to his home town, and received a warm welcome from the town's people.

    He is a hero, he is the pride of the town!

    However, he has only one leg and he is a slope.

    Without a job, he was willing to use a blood-stained and murderous handicapped man with a hand, and his child suffered cold eyes and bullying at school, mocking his father for being a bitch.

    He wanted to attend the wedding of the old classmate, but was turned away because the old classmate's family did not want the bloody body on him to affect the happiness of the newlyweds.

    He was a war hero defending his country, but he was subjected to all kinds of discrimination and indifference. He was disheartened, and he was miserable.

    However, even more distressing happened, he found that his beloved wife was derailed ...

    he was angry, he picked up a shotgun, killed the adulterer, wanted to destroy the body, but was discovered by his neighbor. In desperation, he killed his neighbor's family, but more people discovered his crime.

    Kill!

    He set off the killing of the entire town.

    The final result was that he looked at the child's sad eyes and chose to commit suicide ...

    "The story is very good." Art analyst Manola Dages nodded admiringly, "If you modify a few points, let the anti-war theme Deeper and more human reflection, you can go to Europe to get the highest award at the film festival. Choose a suitable actor and hope to nominate an Oscar for the best actor. "

    Tang En frowned slightly. What he needs now is not to win the prize, but to the box office. !! Unconsciously, he looked at Andrew O'Hare.

    This script has definitely not been made into a movie in the previous life. What is the specific market prospect, Tang En is not sure.

    Andrew O'Hair groaned for a while and shook his head: "This is not in line with American values. Fans don't like this theme and don't like too complicated a human turn. Even if it is a very exciting action movie, the North American box office must be poor. Overseas The box office can be expected. "

    Dickon Whistler was unwilling." I ... I can ... repair ... modify ... "

    Tang En waved his hand." There is something wrong with the subject matter of this script, and there is no need to get too involved. Nia, you What about? "

    Niya Vadalas is in her thirties and has big eyes. She is an extra actor who has been running a series of tricks in various major crews, using her spare time to create a script.

    Now she joins Tang En Films. She has a stable job and a good monthly salary. She doesn't want to suffer the pain of running a dragon.

    "My script is also here, Tang En, let's take a look."

    Dragon actors are also actors, and their ability to please leaders is very high. Nia Vadalas put the script lightly on Tang's hand, and his chest full of "unconsciousness" crossed his arm.

    Tang En glanced at her, and immediately saw a strange light shining in her glorious eyes.

    "Ahem ..."

    Tang En quickly covered up. In the office, he was not good at flirting with female subordinates in the presence of so many subordinates, took a look at the script, and his eyes narrowed.

    "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"!

    Looking at Nia Vadaras's face, Tang En vaguely feels familiar, no wonder ... she turned out to be the screenwriter and starring of "My Grand Greek Wedding"!

    A few years younger, it really has more style than in the movie ...

    "Well? Has my appearance changed her future life track?"

    Tang En couldn't help but be a little funny.

    But what's the future of being an 18-line actress? Might as well be my royal screenwriter ...

Rebirth in hollywood will use his knowledge of the future to be the king of hollywood.

Chapter 7. Contract (3)

When Rei's parents came home, they were surprised to see a middle aged man in their home. 

"Um, Rei, who is this?" his mother asked him pointing at Nagamo-san.

"Mom, I wanted to tell you after it was published but, actually he is my editor and he is here for the contract signing"

"Published?"

"Contract?"

His father and mother were both confused by those words and Rei had to give them an explanation.

After knowing Rei's book was going to publish, his mother was jumping with joy and hugged Rei tightly and said.

"Rei, oh Rei! I am very happy for you. I can't believe your book is going to be published. I know you definitely had that talent"

His father didn't say anything but you could clearly see that, he was smiling inwardly and had a happy mood.

After greetings, his mother invited Nagamo-san to eat sushi they had bought back.

If it was a normal occasion, his mother wouldn't have done that but today was a happy occasion, especially for his mother, her son's book was going to be published, how can she not be happy.

Nagamo-san also didn't reject it as it will be too disrespectful and he was also somewhat hungry, as it was already dinner time.

While eating sushi, his mother and father kept asking Nagamo-san questions and Rei was sitting listening to them.

His parents were rather curious about his sudden book and wanted to ask some questions to ensure themselves.

"Nagamo-san, can you tell me about my son's novel and will it be successful or not?" his father asked.

"The chances of his novel succeeding are very high, you could trust my experience as a senior editor, your son's novel was very good and as your son is only 16 year old, it will create a good publicity, I don't think there is any chance for the novel to fail"

"Really!"

Nagamo-san nodded and his parents expression was filled with relief. As parents, they wanted their son to succeed and Nagamo-san had already given them his business card proving his identity as a senior editor.

"Well, you see although you said that our son's novel would sell, I am still somewhat doubtful about my son writing a novel. Until now, he was never interested in books, he was instead interested in celebrities till now"

Rei was previously aspiring to be a celebrity and had never read books. His sudden change had also perplexed his parents.

Rei was also troubled by this, he didn't gave it much thought but his change would surely have surprised his parents.

While trying to maintain a calm face, he said.

"Recently, I read a book and it quickly engrossed me. That's why I thought of writing, I don't know that my novel would be published suddenly"

"Is that so"

"So, that's why you are holed up in your room this past month"

Although his father and mother somewhat believed it, Nagamo-san had a troubled expression.

He had previously seen those celebrity posters in Rei's room but because of «Your name», he had forgotten about it. 

Now, he was told that Rei had only started writing a month ago, he was greatly stunned by this.

He had never seen this kind of situation in his 15 years of editing career.

Rei had a disposition of a veteran author and considering Rei's age, he had thought that he had at least been writing for 2-3 years to write that kind of story.

But now that he knew that Rei had just started writing for 1 month, he can't help but doubt his ears.

"Um, I am just asking to confirm but Is it really true that Rei had been only writing for a month"

"Yeah, he was always interested in celebrities instead of books"

"I never thought that he will be able to write a book"

After confirming, Nagamo-san can't help but fall into monetary shock.

His thoughts were in mess.

If a high school student will be able to write that kind of story, then we can say that he is a genius but if a high school student wrote that kind of story in just a month and he wasn't even into books till now, no he wrote two top novels in just a month, he can't be called just a genius, he is a genius that can only born once in thousand years.

'Maybe, Sakura Island can get itself a new world class author'

Nagamo-san thought that as he glanced towards Rei.

At first, he was worried that Rei maybe one of those one-hit wonders, although his story was top level, he was just a 16 year old.

He had seen many people like him who wrote good novels at first and succeed early in life but due to various reasons, they soon fade away from the light and just became a memory.

He was really afraid that Rei would also be like these authors, he liked Rei both as a author and a person, he didn't wanted him to fail.

But after reading «Your name», he was sure that Rei was not those one-hit wonders. 

Although he had not read the ending yet, he can tell that the story is top class.

It had everything a book should have. It has love, drama and the little bit of mystery which will make the readers engrossed for a long time.

They will not be able to close the book without knowing the ending. It was that type of story.

While talking to his parents, Nagamo-san occasionally took glances at Rei.

The atmosphere was friendly but Nagamo-san insides were burning from passion.

In his mind, he was thinking of the resources he need to deploy to promote his novel and he also have to convince Rei to let him publish «Your name». 
He can tell that Rei was reluctant to have him read «Your name», he didn't knew the reason behind it but he was dame adamant to publish this novel.

He wanted to see this novel in the bookstores. He was sure that it will make a great impact on the market.

No, both his book and the name Yuuki will surely have great impact in the writers community.

Xu Xiaodong said, "Dongxue, why don't you agree? Isn't this a good idea?"

"That is... I just don't agree." Lin Dongxue hesitated. With the lesson learned from Xu Xiaodong's example so fresh, she didn't dare to take any more risks. Chen Shi was not a policeman. If he was caught, it wouldn't be as simple as shaving his head. 

Old Zhang said, "Sending an undercover person would yield the largest gain at the moment, but it also poses a great amount of risk. I think that Brother Chen is indeed a suitable candidate though. Shall we vote on it?"

Five votes agreed, six votes opposed, and two others abstained.

It was Peng Sijue and Lin Dongxue who abstained. Peng Sijue said, "This kind of voting is meaningless. The most important thing is his own wishes. He is not a policeman. We have no right to interfere with his choices."

Lin Dongxue said anxiously, "With his personality, knowing that our case can't be investigated, he will definitely go!"

Peng Sijue looked at her. "Although I am as worried about his safety as you are, with his capabilities, he'd be able to do it without a hitch."

"His capabilities only involve solving cases. Going undercover is another thing!"

"No, his strengths don't stop there."

"Do you know him or something?"

"I do!"

Lin Dongxue's voice was a bit loud, so it seemed like a quarrel. Old Zhang mediated, "Don't argue. We'll tell Brother Chen tomorrow and then we can decide then. Little Lin, let's get off work for tonight."

Lin Dongxue nodded her head helplessly. She was unable to sleep that night and wanted to call Chen Shi many times. However, every time she dialed the number, she would immediately hang up.

Finally, the next morning arrived and Chen Shi went to the city bureau at his usual time. When he saw Lin Dongxue, he smiled. "Yesterday, Tao Yueyue was watching the palace drama you recommended for the entire night. I am very pleased. Please continue to recommend these meaningless things in the future!"

"Are you mocking me?"

"No, I'm praising you. Yueyue is too smart and fond of learning. She doesn't like to play at all. I'm worried that it's a bit over the top… Did you not sleep well?"

"I slept very late. Oh, there is something we have to tell you."

At the morning meeting, after listening to everyone's words, Chen Shi said calmly, "I can pick up this task."

Listening to his tone, there seemed to be a "but" behind it, so everyone waited anxiously.

"But..." Chen Shi looked at Lin Dongxue. "You have to take care of my child for a few days."

Everyone sighed with relief. "It's okay. We can take care of them!", "My family also has children, so my wife can take care of her."

"No, no, I just need Lin Dongxue to take care of her."

Lin Dongxue didn't smile and said, "Are you sure you understand the situation?"

Chen Shi nodded. "I understand completely. The task force is waiting for the rice[1] and this task can only be done by me."

"If there is any danger, you can voluntarily withdraw and even provide our information to protect yourself. Your safety is the first priority. Do you understand?" This was the measure that Lin Dongxue thought of after thinking about it last night.

"Thank you for your concern. I'll remember it."

Everyone agreed that after three days, Chen Shi would head over. During this time, Chen Shi would not go to the bureau, lest he be found to have been in contact with the police.

Also, Ah Meng was the only person who knew that Chen Shi was a "policeman". He had to be strictly guarded and could not be allowed to inform others. 

Chen Shi was able to take a leisurely day off to prepare a table of dinner earlier on and pick up Tao Yueyue. After dinner, Tao Yueyue asked, "Where are the literary masterpieces that I wanted?"

"I've bought them. I'll give them to you."

Chen Shi took out a pile of books. Tao Yueyue looked at the titles. "So Young"[2], "Never Gone"[3], "I'll Wait for you in Memories"[4], "Love Under the Moon"[5]…

Tao Yueyue said with disdain, "Literary masterpieces?"

Chen Shi proudly responded, "They're contemporary literary classics!"

"Please. I want to participate in a writing competition. How would these books help?"

"Why didn't you say so then? I have the famous four in the house. Do you want to read them?"

"I have already seen them and they are all useless. "Journey to the West"[6] is full of flaws, "Water Margin" isn't an honest tale, "Three Kingdoms"[7] looks boring, and "Dream of the Red Chamber"[8] is like the intertwined tails of fox and dog. [9]

"Don't talk nonsense! You need to ask for forgiveness."

"Take me to buy a book."

Chen Shi looked at the time, "The bookstore shouldn't have closed yet, let's hurry!"

When they got to a nearby bookstore, Tao Yueyue browsed the books on the bookshelf. Chen Shi saw some new mystery novels on the other side. After reading the synopsis, he would go over to her and ask, "Found one?"

He saw that Tao Yueyue was holding a book called "Special Childhood"[10] and couldn't put it down. Chen Shi took another copy of the book from the shelf for himself and looked at the synopsis. He immediately took it from Tao Yueyue's hands and said, "Don't read this. Your childhood is special enough as it is!"

Tao Yueyue pouted unhappily.

"Didn't you want to find a literary masterpiece?"

 "It's no use. Those writers' writings are definitely not good."

"Be careful of the writers coming over to beat you."

"I am telling the truth."

Tao Yueyue went to another shelf and took a few books. There were "One Hundred Tricks for Writing Techniques"[11], "How to Write a Proposition", "Let Junior High School Students Fall in Love with Writing". Upon seeing this, Chen Shi was a little surprised. "You were talking about these?"

"These are very useful. The essay is written for the teacher and they're very stupid. They'll give you good marks if you just utilize these points."

Chen Shi was amused by her old-fashioned outlook and said, "You make it sound so easy. I wonder how little face you'd have if you don't win or get a prize. Okay, I'll buy them for you."

"I want that as well!" Tao Yueyue pointed out "Special Childhood" on the shelf again. 

"No. Go back and watch your palace drama."

Tao Yueyue pulled a face at him.

Taking a large bag of books out, Chen Shi took her to a fast food restaurant. Tao Yueyue asked for ice cream. The chocolate sundae quickly conquered the stomach and heart of the little girl. She enjoyed it so much that her eyes became two crescents[12].

Chen Shi said, "I have to travel for a bit. I'll be away for a few days."

"What about me?"

"You will go to Sister Lin's house."

Chen Shi guessed that she would probably cheer, but Tao Yueyue did not. She looked up from the ice cream and bit the plastic spoon. "Going undercover?"

Chen Shi was shocked and stared at her. This little devil is too smart!

It turned out that she didn't mean it like that. She continued on to say, "Am I going to go undercover? Do you want me to tell her you like her?"

"No, no. You just need to stay there like a good girl."

"How long will you be gone for?"

"Do you want me to be gone for a long or short time?"

Tao Yueyue smiled and replied, "What answer do you want to hear?"

"Your honest feelings!"

"Why don't you two just live together? I really like Sister Lin and I also like Uncle Chen. If you guys live together, it'd be killing two birds with one stone. Don't worry, I won't be a light bulb. If you want to do things, I'll close my door and pretend I don't know." 

Chen Shi smiled and poked her head with her fingers. "What a cheeky little girl!"

I'm so sorry to everyone who were like oh this could be good but then got blindsided... 

I am currently in my second year of college. School, family, and writers block came all up on me and I never got a chance to get back to writing.

While I did have chapters written and saved up, I didn't like the idea nor where the story was going. And while those chapters seemed nice, I could not continue the story from them with dragging my word count with useless crap and wanting to gauge my eyes out.

first things first-
I may be updating at the end of January. I can assure you though that a new chapter will come by the end of February. :)

Next: I will probably change a few details of the prologue of Marc Antony. The story progression is slightly different than what it was originally supposed to be. The story summary will be slightly edited later to show this.

When I say slightly I mean what was originally supposed to be a cute and meaningful story with like deep life lessons had a train wreck and somehow became that and a romance-murder mystery-- I don't even know what happened. 

I might even have to change the premise cuz oh my goodness...

Like originally someone was gonna die but it wasn't gonna be a murder it was just supposed to make the story slightly depressing...

The writing style will still be the same, and the beginning is still slightly slow... I think? Anyway, yeah.

that's it.

I didn't wanna leave y'all hanging like I did for like nine months... anyway. For all those who put this in their library congrats. Have a good day Everyone!

"Are you okay?" she asked, holding out her hand.

"No." He sniffed. "My dignity has been greatly hurt."

"You have underwear covered in pink hearts." she blushed while rolling her eyes. "You have no dignity left to protect."
