The longer one stayed, the more things one would encounter, and the more people one would meet.
For example, the old uncle would occasionally take Sister Eula and Little Kokomi to restart his old profession of being the king of the children.
There was no helping it. Sometimes when he got bored staying indoors, there would always be times when he wasn't writing.
At those times, he could slip out and happily blend into the children's group for some fun.
The children on Watatsumi Island weren't that easy to get along with.
After all, when he had first arrived on Watatsumi Island, the island had been too poor. Children from poor families matured early, and children who matured early had no childhood.
They had their own things to busy themselves with. How could they have time to come out and play?
Fortunately, as life on Watatsumi Island gradually improved, the island's people discovered that they no longer needed to work themselves to death. After meeting their survival needs, they would begin pursuing spiritual fulfillment.
Everyone often gathered to fish together, so the children naturally gathered to interact as well.
Having an already-formed children's group made things much easier to handle.
Adults always had ways to attract children to pay their respects.
"Stargazer held a feather fan and looked at the three Adepti who had come before her thatched hut…"
The old uncle also gave himself a long-absent storytelling session full of emotion and vivid expression.
Heh. I don't know how other authors promote their own books, but right now I'm sinisterly and cunningly targeting the children!
Gahaha!
Directly telling my own story— this old uncle is truly too cunning!
Facing the old uncle who had already immersed himself in his own story, Little Eula didn't know how she should comment.
She simply silently took out the pastries she had baked from the oven.
At this moment, the sweet aroma of the pastries had already spread out. Unfortunately, the children were still immersed in the story and no one turned their heads to look.
However, there were still reactions. Some children were drooling, some children's fingers were twitching, and some children were unconsciously wagging their tails…
"Cough cough. If you want to know what happens next~ please listen to the continuation in the next session~ Everyone, go eat some snacks first."
As soon as the old uncle announced the continuation, the children who had been immersed in the story all rushed toward Sister Eula's direction.
Hmm. Clearly, the children on Watatsumi Island had already been shaped into the form the old uncle liked.
The old uncle first accepted a cup of water handed to him by Little Kokomi. His gaze subconsciously turned toward the most eye-catching existence in the children's group.
Hmm… that child with brown hair, dog ears, and a tail…
That should be Gorou, right?
He had heard other children mention it.
Gorou's family was actually an ordinary household.
Hiss…
It wasn't that he didn't believe it, but mainly Gorou's race…
To be able to mix so harmoniously in the children's group without being ostracized…
The 2D world… really was reasonable…
"I have a shocking piece of earth-shattering news here! Do you guys want to hear it?"
One child spoke loudly while eating snacks.
"Oh? What is it?"
The children couldn't even eat their snacks peacefully, which made the old uncle somewhat worried that they might choke.
"I heard! Lord Shura Anyakonsen-shou has a wife named Kitsune Saiguu! But the wife is gone!"
"Tch, I knew this news a long time ago. How is that any earth-shattering big news?"
At this, the old uncle's mouth twitched.
He really had to hand it to them. He was still a pure unmarried man, so how had he suddenly become a widower?
Moreover, from the children's tone, this news had already become known to everyone…
Hey, could you make the rumor even more outrageous?
The old uncle extremely helplessly bit into Little Eula's pastry.
For a moment, he had no desire to join the children's group.
