Chapter 45: The Fan's Warm Welcome

“Y… You’re Matsumatsu?!”

Tamie couldn’t hide her stupor – the happy and carefree fan whom she communicated with by Computer-gadget was none other than the strict magister of the Blade Warrior Order?!

Kokuyo Matsumoto shyly smiled, still holding the book out to her. Tamie glanced down at the book and recognized her novel, Demon Lord’s Sorrow. Yes, it was truly Matsumatsu, the fan of Kokujin’s stories she had written.

“Sure, I’d be glad to autograph your book!” she took her ink-brush out of her bag and signed the book cover. Then she added another signature and winked at the Magister: “This second autograph in Japanese Katakana just for you”.

“Oh, thank you so much!” Kokuyo chuckled and took the book back. “Well then… I am deeply sorry for my harshness of before,” he bowed down, “You may stay with us for as long as you like. I permit you to operate in the Matsunoki town freely, and I’d be more than happy if you stopped in our order building during your stay”.
