Chapter 21 [You and I Will]

The study is not big, but it is filled with books on three sides of the bookshelf, and the number is not small.

Looking at the title of the book on the spine, Morofushi Jingguang finally understood a little bit how busy Sayuri Agatsuma was when she always told herself that she was "very busy".

This author not only draws more of his own original works, but also does not forget to draw his favorite fan works.

Of course, Morobushi Kagemitsu didn't know the difference between doujinshi and other comics. In his eyes, the paintings that Agatsuma Sayuri drew of the two of them together were to commemorate the bits and pieces of their love, and were no different in essence from her original works.

On the bookshelf were some smaller, noticeably thinner books, with titles barely etched on their spines. Pulling them out and perusing them revealed they weren't comics, but novels.

Yes, my wife Sayuri told him, she is also a novelist.

Although the bookshelves were mostly filled with comics, considering the amount of text a novel could hold, the amount of information in her novels and comics was probably not much different in terms of plot—at least, for investigators, the amount of information was the same.

Obviously, such a large number of works cannot be read in one day.

Zhu Fu Jingguang calmed down and took a quick look at the titles of all the works on the bookshelf. He listed them in his mind as a catalog of works and decided to give priority to reading a few books with more suspicious names.

Time is gone as soon as I see it.

Morobushi Kagemitsu wonders where Agatsuma Sayuri gets all these fantastic ideas. She can draw dozens of different stories just by traveling to another world. If it weren't for Agatsuma Sayuri's typical Asian appearance, one would suspect that she ran away from those Western magical worlds she created.

It's no wonder that Morofushi Keimitsu was immediately captivated. In this world's Japan, light novels and manga about traveling to another world hadn't yet become completely popular. It should be said that before Sayuri Agatsuma appeared, it hadn't become a hot topic.

Agatsuma Sayuri has seen various Japanese works on the theme of traveling to another world in recent years. The works that can become animations or top the charts are all survivors of the test of time, so how can they not be good?

She only needs to absorb the experience of popular elements of those popular works and combine them with various love, hate and emotions to create works that readers can't stop reading.

This is a pure place that has never been impacted by themes from another world!

With the sudden emergence of Agatsuma Sayuri, the entire manga world seemed to have opened up to a new world, and some began to emulate her style, drawing those fantastical stories. Of course, these new works were just the beginning, but Agatsuma Sayuri, with her fast handwriting, high output, beautiful style, and fascinating stories, has been hailed as "Her Majesty" by her loyal readers, standing at the unshakable peak of the isekai genre.

The readers were indeed quite happy to read it, but Zhu Fujingguang was a little upset. He really couldn't find any information about his true identity in these isekai works. But he didn't dare to jump around, for fear of missing any characters.

If there really was a character with similar appearance to him, he would accept it. At least if the organization found out, he would have a reason to explain himself.

He was worried that if he didn't find any solid evidence and used this excuse, the organization would think he was lying and directly confirm his identity as a traitor. That would be too unfair for him. Although he was indeed an undercover agent, he had not yet passed on any useful information to the police!

While Morofushi Kagemitsu was searching for evidence in his study, my wife Sayuri was dressing a doll in new clothes she had just made. She admired the doll from head to toe, nodded in satisfaction, and praised herself: "Mm, it looks good!"

I didn't see it when I first arrived, but Agatsuma Sayuri was actually making a doll based on his image. It had similar facial features to the doll pendant that Koyasu Ryo had found, and it was dressed in a simple white shirt and black trousers.

If you look at it with a preconceived notion, you would think that the doll's hairstyle, eye color, eye shape, expression, and the stubble on its chin are all consistent with the characteristics of Agatsuma Sauri's boyfriend "Koyasu Ryo".

But what if you put it together with other dolls?

What if we use the same hair and eye color?

It is common for dolls to have their own expressions. Different expressions for the same character reflect different subjective feelings of each person.

Now, Morofushi Jingguang only saw this doll of Agatsuma Sayuri, but he didn't know that on the other side of the island, countless dolls had already appeared. There were official IPs, secondary creations based on official characters, and even custom-made OCs.

There are all kinds of people, including those with clashes in hair color, eye color, and even stubble.

Besides, the stubble on Zhu Fu Jingguang's chin grows very quickly. Even male characters without beards will grow a stubble after a few days of not shaving. Sometimes, characters without beards are deliberately given a small stubble to express specific scenes.

This is why Morobushi Jingguang has such a niche feature. If it is his police academy period, he would have played a lot of roles with black hair and blue eyes. The doll is not very good at reflecting the hairstyle in detail. As long as the hair is soft and short, it is easy to "clash" with his doll.

It was only because the doll, dressed in a police academy uniform, was the first one Morofushi Jingguang saw that he immediately connected it to himself. If one were to limit the scope to within the organization, one could find quite a few adult males with black hair, blue eyes, and mustaches among the peripheral members alone.

Because humans imagine what they see, when a character is transformed from a two-dimensional image to a three-dimensional image and a large number of details are added, there will often be a gap between the image in the reader's mind and the image.

If the image still simplifies the details and only shows the doll with obvious features, the difference will be even more obvious.

Agatsuma Sayuri had already put away the dangerous items in advance. In fact, even if one day someone with ulterior motives came and took away the dolls that could prove that Scotland was Morobushi Kagemitsu, they could not serve as evidence to prove anything.

At most, it means that my wife Sayuri likes the Scottish type. Look, she even wants to make this type of doll.

Seeing that Koyasu Ryo was still immersed in the world of her book, Agatsuma Sayuri did not urge her. After arranging the doll wearing new clothes, she started drawing the serialized work on her own.

Drawing tablets were too expensive, so my wife, Sayuri, bought herself a scanner and scanned the paper drawings into her computer, then used the computer to apply the dots and renderings. It was a bit cumbersome, but she had also gone through a similar difficult time before she traveled through time. Thanks to that time, she had honed her drawing speed, and her lines were now very smooth.

Of course, in the end, it is technology that changes life. The ability to withdraw electronic manuscripts is so amazing that it is a tool that my wife Sayuri can hardly refuse.

Once she buys a drawing tablet - she wants to buy a better one, it won't be so difficult for her to draw drafts, and her room won't be covered with draft papers.

The girl scanned the latest issue of the serialized line drawing into the computer, operating the mouse and typing on the keyboard at the same time. She was so focused that she even forgot to drink her milk tea, leaving more than half a cup aside.

As she worked on the draft, my wife Sayuri's gaze at the screen became increasingly irregular. Her face moved ever closer to the screen, almost as if she were about to enlarge the canvas and work on the details bit by bit.

This is not only a reflection of her devotion to comics, there is another reason that leads to such a result: the color of the sky.

The sky grew darker and darker until it was completely black. The moon and stars had disappeared when the city lights came on, and now, even the city lights suddenly went out.

When the lights went out, Zhu Fujingguang immediately crouched down and hid in the corner behind the door. This was a common blind spot, as intruders would often first check the front and inside the room, but would not necessarily turn around and look down.

"Hey? Why is there a power outage..."

My wife, Sayuri, congratulated herself on having saved the photo a minute ago, then patted her rumbling stomach. Pausing her work, hunger pangs swiftly. She remembered she hadn't eaten dinner yet, and even had a guest who was hungry too. Glancing at her side, she saw her once-full cup of milk tea, now half full.

She quickly drank the milk tea to fill her stomach, then ran to the kitchen with a flashlight to see what snacks and ingredients Zi Anliang had brought her.

[Ah, the sandwich ingredients are quite complete.] It seems like I mentioned to my boyfriend last time that I wanted to have a sandwich made by him, so I think he brought the ingredients this time.

It was already late, and asking Zhu Fujingguang to cook was unrealistic. The most important thing was that the induction cooker was useless without electricity, and who knew when the electricity would come back?

My wife Sayuri had no choice but to take some cooked food and snacks and called out to Zian Liang: "Liang, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to the time. How about we just make do with this meal, sorry——"

As she spoke, she walked towards the study and just met Zi Anliang who came out of the study.

"Let's just make do with what's ready. There's also pudding and small cakes in the refrigerator that I made earlier... If that's not enough, we can add some dessert."

She didn't ask why it had been so dark for a while and whether she could see anything in the study. She didn't even show any doubt and led Zi Anliang directly to the living room.

When she was scanning the documents, she had already cleared the table, making it perfect for putting food on. They each turned on their flashlights, placing one in front of them, so they could see clearly.

"Let me taste how the food tastes today~"

How does the cooked food taste? It tastes just like the food at the convenience store.

My wife, Sayuri, took a bite and said quickly, "It's not tasty."

Zi Anliang also took a bite and was silent for a while. "It's really not tasty."

The two looked up at each other, but without seeing each other's eyes clearly, they were both stunned, and then they both laughed out loud.

It turns out that no matter how handsome a guy is, he looks creepy when he's illuminated from below. My wife, Sayuri, judges others by herself and thinks she looks the same way in Koyasu Ryo's eyes.

I had thought that even though the power was out, we could pretend they were having a candlelight dinner. But unfortunately, the lights replaced the candlelight and the style changed from romantic to horror movie.

Although the cooked food wasn't very tasty, the small cakes and puddings made by my wife Sayuri were still very delicious. The delicious food comforted their stomachs and the two of them were in the mood to chat.

I don't know how the topic changed, but Zi'an Liang continued from the previous topic with this sentence: "I was just fascinated by your work. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time today. Can I still read your comics in the future?"

My wife Sayuri nodded her red lips, raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly: "Ah, should I agree?"

Of course, she was joking. Then, in a doting tone that said, "I can't help you," she agreed, "Of course I can only agree. I'm glad Liang likes my work."

Worried about scaring people away, my wife Sayuri added, "Will Liang come here often in the future? I really need someone to help me keep an eye on things."

"certainly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the power supply was restored and the lights in the living room came on in the blink of an eye, illuminating the two people sitting face to face.

Both were smiling, one playful and adorable, the other a tough guy with a soft heart, but deep down they were both thinking the same thing: "The plan worked."
