Chapter 472 The title was taken away by Pigman
The group came to the outlying island, found Editor Hirayama and other editors, and explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Editor-in-Chief Hirayama did not embarrass Onodera, but reminded him that next time he encounters such a thing, he must discuss it with everyone. Onodera nodded repeatedly and promised that such a situation would not happen next time.
Early in the morning on the third day, Traveler and Paimon went to the outlying island pier on time to wait for others. Unlike the previous two days, there was only one guest today.
After the ship docked, a familiar figure appeared on the dock, squatting on the ground not knowing what to do.
Paimon pointed to the pier and said in surprise: "Traveller, look at that figure just now, it seems to be little brother Wanyu!"
The two were about to step forward to greet Wanyu, but Wan'ye took the lead and greeted him in advance, "Hello, Traveler, Paimon. I heard that there will be a guide at the Rongcai Festival, but I didn't expect it to be you."
Paimon also didn't expect that Brother Manyo would return to Inazuma as a guest at the Rongcai Festival.
Manyo explained: "I was a little surprised when I received the invitation, but I have been wandering away for a long time, so it would be nice to take this opportunity to return to my hometown and pay homage to my old friend."
The traveler and Paimon looked at each other and understood. After all, Wanyo was a well-traveled person like himself.
At this time, Paimon suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: "Wanyu, we just saw you looking for something from a distance. Did something happen?"
Wan Ye narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "It's like this. When I got off the boat with everyone just now, I suddenly heard very light footsteps around me. Those footsteps were definitely not those of ordinary passengers, but when I turned around, The man had disappeared, and there was only a "thud" sound from under the trestle."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms and said puzzledly: "I didn't find any trace of the other party, but I found a strange piece of paper at my feet."
Paimon asked the same question as before, about the poem on the note.
Wan Ye was stunned and asked curiously: "Hey, how did you know?"
Paimon, who is the Mouth of God, has long told Manyo everything that happened in the past few days.
Wanyo touched his chin after hearing this. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The traveler asked Wanyo to read the poem on the paper, but Wanyo did not refuse and handed it to the traveler directly.
I saw that the content on the paper was indeed the red man chapter in the story of the Five Song Immortals. It says:
Five Songs Immortal Beauty? Red Man Chapter
My generation has been famous for a long time, but my youth is full of ambition.
Every time he chants a new affix and Zhuyin, he will be famous all over the world.
Little did I know that at last year's essay meeting, I actually plagiarized poems by predecessors.
Deception and theft are unforgivable, and the wild color is vast and abandoned.
The five-color brilliance no longer disappears, just like there are no ordinary things in the world.
Last time Aoi Zhiweng’s poem mentioned [Red Man] at the end, and as expected, this one is the story of Red Man. Akato got this nickname because he liked to use red seals, but he was discovered by the general for plagiarism and was exiled...
Paimon scratched his head and pouted: "How should I put it? If you want to evaluate it, today's story does not sound very auspicious."
The traveler nodded, what happened before was not much better.
Wanyo touched his chin and said: "I think there is nothing wrong with this story. I was once a wanted criminal by the shogunate, and I am similar to the Akato in the story."
Paimon: "The red man in this story did something bad and was exiled by the shogun for his own fault. He is nothing like Manyo."
Paimon saw that the traveler on the side was in a daze, so he flew up to him and asked curiously: "Traveler, what are you thinking about?"
The traveler came back to his senses and said, "I was thinking that the [seal] in the story might be able to help Xingqiu."
Wanyo recalled what the previous traveler had said, "By the way, you just mentioned that a friend is suffering from being too slow to sign his signature recently, right? In Liyue and Inazuma, there is indeed a saying that [a seal is equivalent to a signature] , this might be a feasible idea.”
"While sailing on the sea, I occasionally carve some things to pass the time. If I want to make a seal, maybe I can contribute."
Paimon was overjoyed, clapped his hands repeatedly, and took the traveler and Manyo together to discuss with Albedo.
[Paimon: I remember the Eye of God doesn’t have a storage space, why not put important things in it? 】
[Xingqiu: If you didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten that the Eye of God has reserve space]
[Keli: Hehe, Keli has put all the bombs into the Eye of God now. Captain Qin can no longer find Keli’s treasures]
[Qin: Keli! Send it to me quickly and I’ll keep it for you]
[Amber: Captain Qin, please calm down, you don’t want Keli to touch the Knights headquarters]
[Ying: Why does this Amber sound like a rice wife when she talks?]
[Yola: I didn’t expect that Amber would go to Dao Wife behind my back. I will remember this grudge! 】
[Amber: I have been to Liyue and Xumi! They are all on official business trips]
[Chongyun: Xingqiu, do you want a seal? I can make one for you]
[Ying: Ouch, there must be an inappropriate relationship between you two]
[Keqing: Just get used to it]
[Ningguang: Although seals are very convenient, their security is too low. It would be bad if someone stole them. You are right, traveler]
【fluorescent:? ? ? 】
[Paimon: I can testify to this. Ying is not interested in seals at all. What she likes most is girls! 】
[Ying: You are indeed my best friend, you really understand me, but don’t say it in front of so many people, I’m embarrassed]
[Kaiya: Brother Tongzi, please switch the perspective. I want to watch Brother Traveler’s video]
[System: Requires voting]
[Ningguang: On behalf of all the people of Liyue, I agree to this request]
[Nacida: I think it’s okay]
[Miko Yae: I also want to see the traveler brother’s perspective]
【Ding! More than half of the members in the live broadcast room agreed and the perspective will be officially switched in the next video]
[Ying: What’s so interesting? Aren’t they all mute, right?]
【null:……】
[Paimon: I still have so many lines, Teyvat is the best worker]
...
The smart and reliable Abedo once again stood in front of the blank canvas and thought about how to draw the next picture of the song fairy.
Paimon flew over and told Albedo all about the method he had just discussed and the paper with the poem and story of the Red Man on it...
Abedo said calmly: "The story of the Five Song Immortal has indeed appeared again, and there is such a method. The seal, well, let me think about it... It is indeed an efficient solution. In this way, Xingqiu does not need to I’m suffering from handwriting problems. But..."
The traveler subconsciously asked: "Any other questions?"
Abedo said seriously: "Because Xingqiu's signature has been announced to readers before, if he is the only one who uses his seal in this new issue, it would seem to be a lack of sincerity."
Paimon looked disappointed when he heard this. He was so careless that he didn't take this into consideration.
Seeing their sad faces, Abedo smiled slightly and said: "I thought of another idea, and of course the seal is part of it. Let's go to Wuyouting now and discuss it with everyone."
Wuyouting.
Second floor
As soon as the three of them entered the door, they heard the cheering voice of Editor Hirayama, saying: "Come on, Teacher Zhenyu, my handwriting has improved a lot today, which shows that yesterday's special training was very effective!"
Xingqiu looked like he was about to faint, and said weakly: "Oh, I can't do it anymore, my hands are so sore that I can't lift them up... If I had known this, I wouldn't have read novels in the calligraphy class before."
Editor-in-Chief Hirayama encouraged: "I've just rested for ten minutes, keep at it!"
The two Onodera men on the side looked at the serious editor shivering, and whispered to Murata: "The editor is indeed the most terrible person among us in urging manuscripts."
Murata also nodded. It’s no wonder that when an author encounters trouble, Yashiro always sends the editor to take action... I didn’t expect him to be so fierce!
Paimon and others watched this scene at the door. They couldn't help but tremble and said: "It's too scary. We haven't seen him for a while, and Xingqiu is already turning into a walking zombie."
[Paimon: It’s terrible. I didn’t expect this editor to have such a dark heart. He only took a ten-minute break and asked Xingqiu to continue working]
[Ying: That’s right, if I absolutely don’t write it and worry them to death, I won’t be afraid even if the Eightfold Divine Son comes! What can she do to me? 】
[Miko Yae: Generally, writers who join Yaedo have signed a contract. If they cannot submit the manuscript on time, they will have to compensate for additional costs]
[Ning Guang: Oh, how many molas is it specifically? 】
[Miko Yae: Let’s take a look, Onodera’s liquidated damages seem to be around 1000 mullahs]
[Onodera:? ? ? Isn't it written in the contract? 】
[Miko Yae: Didn’t you see that line of fine print, but it doesn’t matter, I have the final right to interpret it]
[Onodera: Mr. Yashiro, this is wrong of you. I am going to expose you to the general]
[Yae Shenzi: Who in the audience is suing me? 】
[Ningguang: How much did I think it was? It’s only 1000w mola. It’s just a blink of an eye]
[Beidou: How can I be the same as you? You are the authority of Liyue, one person is inferior to ten thousand people]
[Ningguang: Why did Captain Beidou speak so bitterly today? How about I ask you to sit here? 】
[Paimon: I suggest you let me try it! I want to experience what it feels like to sleep in a golden house with a mola as a quilt]
[Ying: There is no future at all, if I were to use Ningguang as a quilt]
...
Abedo interrupted the tense atmosphere between the two, "Editor, in fact, we just found a way that may solve everyone's predicament. Liyue and Daozhu both use seals extensively, and seals are often regarded as To make something equivalent to a signature, maybe we can use this idea to make signing easier.”
"Of course, only the seal is not enough. The signature needs to be composed of two parts. The first is the personal seal. This part can be carved using Teacher Zhenyu's signature as a template. At the same time, I will design a beautiful and easy-to-use seal for Teacher Zhenyu. Teacher Zhenyu only needs to sign the pattern on each book."
Editor-in-chief Hirayama was a little hesitant, but after thinking for a long time, he also believed that this method was the safest, so he immediately nodded and said: "Well, this method is feasible! Not only is it written by the author himself, but the effect should be very beautiful."
When Xingqiu heard that he had agreed, he immediately looked saved and said excitedly: "Is it true, so I am finally saved?"
Onodera said: "Editor, it suddenly occurred to me that the reason why we gave up on-site signing before was because it would take a long time for the author to sign. But if it is this form of signature, is it necessary to sign on-site? Is it too late? Moreover, all the authors adopt similar forms, which will not make Teacher Zhenyu’s signature appear obtrusive.”
Manyo took the initiative to take over the job of engraving the seal.
Editor-in-Chief Hirayama is also a resolute person and got up to contact the other two authors at the new publication launch party.
Soon, two other authors who needed to sell new issues also came to Wuyouting.
They are a man and a woman. The female writer is named Satomi, and the male writer is named Kankai Yukoji Kenzaburo...
[Paimon: The name is so long! Aren’t your hands tired from signing so many words? Why not come up with a pen name and call it Toad Wants to Eat Stewed Goose]
[Amber: This name is also very long, okay, let’s just call it Yiyi, there are only a few gestures]
[Ying: Yiyi has no characteristics at all, not as good as mine]
[Kaia: Oh, tell me? 】
[Ying: Life is full of love! (Xi Ying akimbo.jpg)]
[Wutao: As expected of you, the arsonist in Teyvat’s heart! 】
[Ying: My greatest advantage is that I am humble, low-key and low-key! 】
...
Hearing the editor-in-chief explain the purpose of calling them here, Congmei smiled and clapped in agreement: "It's such an honor to be able to get the signature designed by Mr. Bai Chuo."
Saburo breathed a sigh of relief. Since his pen name was very complicated, he was not suitable for holding hands. Now his wish could finally come true!
Everyone was very satisfied with this plan, which made Editor Hirayama relieved.
"I'm really sorry that Teacher Zhenyu has been busy for so many days. Please have a good rest in the next few days and leave the follow-up matters to us. These books that have been signed will also be used as a special feature of Yaedo activities in the future. Use the prize." Pingshan looked at Xingqiu looking like he was about to collapse and thanked him sincerely.
Before Xingqiu said anything, Onodera breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "Great, I'm finally saved now!"
The editors stayed in Wuyouting to deal with follow-up matters, and Xingqiu was finally able to go out and breathe fresh air with everyone.
After walking out of Wuyou Pavilion, Paimon looked at the time and asked, "It's still early, where should we go next?"
Before anyone could answer, several familiar figures came over. In addition to Wendy, Kamisato Ayaka was also present this time.
The gentle Princess Egret greeted everyone politely.
When Paimon saw Wendy and Ayaka coming together, he looked like I couldn't understand, and asked curiously: "Ayaka and Wendy...how come you two are together?"
Kamisato Ayaka explained with some embarrassment: "Actually, just now, when I went to the Rongsai Festival venue to arrange a flower arrangement, I found a mysterious piece of paper on the flower stand. The bard happened to be nearby at the time , I heard him say that you have discovered other similar things these days, so I came to you with him."
Wendy added with a smile: "But the piece of paper this lady found is different from the ones we found before."
Kamisato Ayaka handed over the piece of paper and said: "Here are the things, please take a look."
