To ensure he had plenty of energy for the Publishing House interview the next day, Lin Feng didn't stay up late last night. Instead, he drew a few rough drafts, with the story stopping around the time Tanjiro had just entered Mount Fujikasane.
Then, he portrayed those two very basic demons arguing over who would get to eat humans first, and then he went to sleep.
Nothing was more important than getting a good rest.
When the morning sun shone through the window into the bedroom, Lin Feng woke up from his sleep.
He was going to the Publishing House interview this afternoon.
For Lin Feng, although it was something expected, it was, after all, his first time attending a similar event. It wouldn't be realistic to say he wasn't nervous at all.
But now that things had progressed to this point, with the Demon Slayer manga becoming increasingly popular, similar events were sure to be frequent.
Lin Feng, as the author of this work, was inevitably going to have to make a public appearance for some interviews.
Lin Feng had made the corresponding mental preparations beforehand.
In fact, for Lin Feng himself, this kind of interview activity, which could increase the exposure of both him and his work, was more beneficial than harmful.
Because the accumulation of the system's reputation value not only depended on the popularity of Lin Feng's work, but was also closely related to Lin Feng's own influence.
In other words, the degree of worship that those reader fans had for Lin Feng, the original author, could also directly increase the speed at which Lin Feng's system reputation value accumulated.
So Lin Feng was quite attentive to this interview.
It was just that Lin Feng hadn't expected it. He had originally thought the Publishing House's interview time would be in the afternoon, so Mitsugetsu Miyako would come to find him in the afternoon.
As a result, Mitsugetsu Miyako came over early in the morning, which indeed caught him off guard.
"Why are you here so early? Didn't you say the interview with the Publishing House was this afternoon...?"
Lin Feng was a bit confused as he looked at Mitsugetsu Miyako, who had gotten dressed and practically ran over to see him first thing in the morning.
"The interview is indeed this afternoon, that's right. But Lin Feng, are you really planning to go like that?"
Mitsugetsu Miyako sized up Lin Feng from head to toe, then looked at him with a smile, saying it with a smile.
"Uh, is there something wrong...?"
Seeing the smile on Mitsugetsu Miyako's face, Lin Feng looked down at his own clothes.
Very ordinary, very casual, didn't seem to be anything wrong.
"There's nothing particularly wrong, but don't you think you'll look a little too casual?"
Mitsugetsu Miyako couldn't help but chuckle at Lin Feng's blank expression.
"Even though this time it's just an internal interview at the Publishing House, there will probably be photo opportunities. If you go dressed like that, it might not be very appropriate."
Perhaps fearing Lin Feng didn't understand, Mitsugetsu Miyako explained with a smile.
"I see."
After hearing Mitsugetsu Miyako's explanation, Lin Feng nodded, understanding.
He hadn't thought about it much before.
After all, he'd never participated in an event like this, so Lin Feng hadn't paid much attention to his attire.
Now he realized that since the interview at the Publishing House was in the afternoon, it was a more formal occasion.
If there's a photo opportunity, the pictures might even be featured in the next issue of the magazine.
Come to think of it, I probably shouldn't dress too casually.
"I figured you might not have thought about that, which is why I came to see you so early today."
"Alright, go get ready quickly. We'll go shopping later and buy you some suitable clothes."
Mitsugetsu Miyako, cradling Chachamaru, who had run over to greet her, walked towards the living room while urging Lin Feng.
Seeing this, someone might even think Lin Feng was the guest and Mitsugetsu Miyako was the owner of the house.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Lin Feng could only agree with a wry smile, then headed upstairs.
Lin Feng had just gotten out of bed when Mitsugetsu Miyako arrived, so he threw on some clothes and opened the door without even having time to wash up.
However, Mitsugetsu Miyako was indeed very considerate.
Since Lin Feng had transmigrated to this world, his basic needs hadn't changed much.
He had only used his royalties to improve his meals, buy some new furniture, and get a phone and computer, as well as other necessary equipment. He hadn't changed anything else.
Come to think of it, he really should get himself some decent clothes.
Money only truly becomes yours when you spend it; otherwise, just sitting in the card, it just feels like a string of numbers.
After spending more than ten minutes washing up and getting ready, Lin Feng was fully dressed and went out with Mitsugetsu Miyako.
The weather was very nice today.
And the mood for going shopping was clearly quite different from the mood for going to school.
This was also the second time Lin Feng, since transmigrating to this world, had gone shopping with a girl alone, besides Shizuka.
Unlike Shizuka's well-behaved and quiet nature, Mitsugetsu Miyako's personality was more lively and proactive.
Probably because she was interning at the Publishing House, she could meet different people and handle all sorts of things every day.
As a result, when Mitsugetsu Miyako went shopping with Lin Feng, she was mostly the one actively leading Lin Feng around, asking about this and looking at that.
They would occasionally buy some snacks or treats to eat while walking, and the two of them looked exactly like they were on a date.
"Lin Feng, do you think this bracelet is pretty? Hmm, it doesn't seem to suit me..."
"Look at this outfit, I think it suits you quite well..."
"Hmm, I think you should probably get a new hairstyle…"
And, it has to be said, the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere of a shopping trip with Mitsugetsu Miyako was really quite nice.
It also helped to alleviate the stress Lin Feng had accumulated from staying up late to work on his manuscript.
Around noon, after they finished eating, the two of them returned to Lin Feng's home, laden with their purchases.
You have to admit, the saying "clothes make the man" is pretty accurate.
At least after getting a new set of clothes, Lin Feng's whole demeanor was refreshed, and he had changed quite a bit.
