Chapter 48: Konoha Love Story Craze

"You can pack me a bouquet of carnations."

Kurenai smiled gently at Mrs. Yamanaka, adding a bit of shine to her fiery red lipstick.

Mrs. Yamanaka has been at this florist for decades, and Kurenai can be considered a part-time customer for her. After hearing her words, she hurriedly packed the carnations for her.

When the bouquet of flowers came into Kurenai's view, there were still droplets of water on the layers of carnation buds. To keep it delicate and beautiful, Mrs. Yamanaka sprayed water on it.

After receiving the carnations and handing over the money to Mrs. Yamanaka, Kurenai saw her return to the counter, eagerly taking out the pocket book and starting to flip through it again.

This strange movement piqued Kurenai's curiosity. After all, Mrs. Yamanaka runs a florist and is the wife of the head of the Yamanaka clan, so she wouldn't normally behave in such a "disrespectful" manner.

Could it be that the pocket book in her hand is so attractive?

"Mrs. Yamanaka, what are you looking at? It seems quite fascinating." Kurenai asked curiously.

Mrs. Yamanaka pointed to the wooden shelf by the door and said, "'Konoha Love Story', 98 taels, the latest pocket book released by Maruzendo, it's super beautiful, would you like to buy a copy and take a look?"

"Well." Kurenai nodded decisively, put another 98 taels on the counter, then went to the door to fetch a pocket book, turned around and said, "Then, Mrs. Yamanaka, see you next time~."

"Alright!"

...

In a few hours, Mrs. Yamanaka finished reading the little pocket book. She closed the florist's door in the early afternoon, for after reading the first chapter of "Konoha Love Story", she was really not satisfied, so she planned to go to Maru Zendo to ask about the next pocket book.

Before she could reach the entrance of Maruzendo, she saw a large group of people gathered there, almost twenty or thirty people, including Nara Yoshino, whom she was most familiar with, Ayame, and of course, Izumo and Kotetsu, who stood out among the crowd and attracted the most attention. The two were mixed in the crowd, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

As a housewife, Nara Yoshino arrived earlier. After buying lunch and taking a nap, her heart was always "itching", anxious to know the continuation, until she finally thought of going to the bookstore to ask.

As for Ayame, she found an excuse to deliver ramen to customers and snuck out, naturally with the same intention.

Kurenai didn't arrive very early, so she stood on the outer edge.

The most fun was Izumo and Kotetsu. The two made a date to have dinner together after their shift was over at noon. After entering the restaurant, they saw a wooden shelf on the side of the door with twenty pocket books of Konoha Love Story.

The two also despised this kind of erotic book very much, and then, while waiting for their food to be served, they both bought a copy, intending to see how funny the author's brain is to write this kind of book.

The result was, um, delicious! There was no need to be on duty in the afternoon, and the two hurriedly asked follow-up questions for the next chapter of "Konoha Love Story".

Momoko stood at the entrance of Maruzendo, facing the "threatening" customers, with a trace of panic on her face, all coming to remind her of the next manuscript! And she still doesn't have the content of the second chapter, so obviously she lacks confidence...

"When will the second chapter of 'Konoha Love Story' be released? I finished reading the first chapter!"

"Be more efficient! I want to know how the relationship between Miss Lixiang and Wanzhi ends, let me know."

"..."

A drop of cold sweat gradually flowed down Momoko's cheeks. She waved her hands to all the customers, gathered them, and said, "Please, everyone, be quiet and listen to me, okay?"

In an instant, the noisy scene was under control, after all, she was the woman who controlled the storyline of "Konoha Love Story"! At that moment, Mrs. Yamanaka simply walked to the edge of the crowd and listened attentively.

"That's right. The author of this book is temporarily away. The manuscript for the second chapter is not in my hands. After she returns, I will print it immediately. It's useless for everyone to hurry. I will definitely contact the author as soon as possible, I just need a little time."

Momoko's words also directly explained that the manuscript is not in her hands and it is not about Maru Zendo's efficiency.

After hearing the explanation, everyone complained a few words and then left. After all, blocking the doors of other publishers is not interesting, the content of the next chapter is still in the hands of the author.

After Mrs. Yamanaka greeted some people she knew well, she also returned feeling a little disappointed.

After such a commotion, the name of "Konoha Love Story" slowly spread and many viewers bought a copy directly to find out.

Is this book really that good?

....

In the blink of an eye, it was night, in the most prosperous area of Konoha Village, which is a pedestrian street and contains all kinds of clothing accessories, gourmet snacks, and home department stores. It is also the favorite place for girls to go shopping after school.

Yoshimi Satomi stroked her long, soft hair and said to the two girls next to her, "Do you think my hair looks like Miss Lixiang's in 'Konoha Love Story', long, very soft~"

The short-haired girl next to her nodded affirmatively and said excitedly, "Yes! I also want to have long hair, Miss Lixiang is now my idol!"

The third girl tightened the strap of her backpack and remained silent. Because she cannot participate in the conversation at all, she really has no interest in romantic novels about love.

On the way, the two people around her talked enthusiastically, but she seemed "isolated" and felt very uncomfortable.

She felt a little lonely.

To have a common topic to talk about with her friends, she bought a copy of "Konoha Love Story" on the way past the store before going home and planned to "study" it carefully.

Is it really worth it? My two partners are so obsessed!

The girl wondered.

She is a supporter of short hair, and this time it is because of a character in the book who has long hair, which is really amazing!

When she went to the bookstore today, the boss was not there. It was the owner who was at the cash register, so the two knew each other. After handing over the money, she directly took the same pocket book from the wooden shelf.

This book has caused a lot of people to block the door and press for the manuscript.
