Chapter 171 We're Sorry, Ji Jun!
The signing site was located in a bookstore in Akihabara. At 8 o'clock, Ji Kong and his group arrived on time.
At this time, there is still one hour before the signing ceremony is officially held.
However, after getting off the car, Ji Kong found that there were already a large circle of young people around the bookstore. If they were right, they should be all crazy fans of "Sword Art Online".
Of course, so many people cannot be qualified to enter.
So Ji Kong speculated that part of them should have been qualified to participate in the signing party.
The other part is that I am not qualified, but I want to come to the scene to experience the atmosphere and meet Teacher Kong by the way. Maybe I have good luck and can get a signature?
Because they have the same hobbies, they get along very harmoniously, and they are divided into several waves of people and have a very lively discussion.
When someone saw Ji Kong and his group get out of the nanny car and walk straight into the bookstore under the escort of the security guard, someone immediately figured out something and discussed in a low voice:
"Hey, look, those people got out of the car and walked straight into the bookstore. Could it be that Teacher Kong was inside?"
"It is very likely that, as far as I know, those who get off the nanny's car are usually celebrities!"
"Who do you think among them, Mr. Kong, the oldest middle-aged man?"
"How is that possible? I know that middle-aged man, Ichito Nagasuki, the editor of the Electric Shock Library. What I want me to say may be that young man."
"This is even more impossible, right? He looks like a high school student, and some plots in "Sword Art Online" are obviously not something that people of this age can write."
"So, would Teacher Kong be that ol? Uh... This is a bit unfit for my fantasy. If you really want to say it, I actually hope that girl is Teacher Kong. After all, the cute girl is the favorite of our otaku!"
Their discussion was not loud, but looking at their fingers, Ji Kong could probably guess what they were talking about, and he felt a little vain and nervous.
I remember the only time I stood at the front desk to face everyone in my previous life, when he was giving a speech in elementary school.
"Sorry, please give me a gift, will the signing party have already begun?"
A slightly rapid sound came, Ji Kong subconsciously turned his head and looked over, and found that it was a girl wearing glasses running towards her with small steps.
The security guard of the bookstore was about to go up and stop her, but Ji Kong waved his hand and signaled that it was not important. He was about to go forward to explain to her that there was still an hour before the signing ceremony was held, and suddenly the girl staggered and fell in front of Ji Kong with a "bang".
Ji Kong: "..."
Is this the legendary flat fall?
"So, what a loud voice." Shiina Mashiro said softly.
"It really hurts."
Ji Kong's mouth twitched, walked forward, and reached out to the girl who was climbing up, "Didn't you fall? Do you want me to call you a doctor?"
"No, no, I'm fine, thank you."
The girl patted the dust on her body, took Ji Kong's hand and stood up, then took off her crooked eyes and put them on again, and smiled slightly at Ji Kong.
Huh? Was it my illusion just now?
Ji Kong blinked gently. The moment the girl took off her glasses, she clearly felt... she looked at the girl in front of her who had two braids and black-framed glasses, and looked very rustic. Ji Kong shook her head, probably because she had read it wrong.
"The signing party will take place in one hour, so you don't need to be so anxious." Ji Kong said with a smile after pulling the girl up.
"Ah." The girl exclaimed softly, "Is it that my clock is coming soon?"
"Well, probably."
Ji Kong was a little speechless. Even if the clock at your house was broken, isn’t there any on the tram?
"Oh, that's it. It turns out that I'm wrong..." The girl smiled shyly, "Then I'll wait here first. Teacher Kong, I wish you a smooth signing meeting!"
"How do you know that I belong to Teacher Kong?" Ji Kong said in surprise. He was sure he had never seen this girl before.
"It's probably...it feels." The girl smiled softly.
...
...
Separating from the girl who felt a little strange, Ji Kong and his group walked into the bookstore. The owner of the bookstore immediately came up and stretched out his hand and said, "It's really our blessing to be able to hold a sales signing party here!"
Like the Electric Shock Library, this bookstore is also affiliated to Kadokawa Bookstore, Inc., and it is also one of the largest bookstores in Akihabara. Today, in order to prepare for a signing for Ji Kong, several bookshelfs were specially moved away and a relatively wide venue was provided.
"Where is, I should feel that you provide the venue."
Ji Kong shook hands with the bookstore owner, and after a few polite words, a staff member came up and took Ji Kong to familiarize himself with the venue and taught him some knowledge about signing.
Machida Yuanko and Suzuki Ichito were also beside him and told Ji Kong that some things to pay attention to.
Ji Kong listened carefully because he knew that these were their experiences. Learning more himself would only benefit his future and not harm him.
But at this moment, the phone ringtone rang. Ji Kong said sorry, then walked to the corner and answered the phone.
"Jun Ji, we are sorry for you!"
As soon as it was connected, Nan Qinli's aggrieved voice came from the phone. In line with her unique soft and cute voice line, it sounded like she was crying, which made Ji Kong feel very distressed all of a sudden.
"What's wrong?" Ji Kong asked anxiously: "What happened?"
"We originally wanted to give you a surprise. Today, all the staff came to participate in your signing party, but we didn't get the ticket. Maki Jiang wanted to buy it with money, but she didn't buy it..."
Nan Qinli said aggrievedly.
"Uh, you want to attend my sales signing party and give me a surprise. What's going on?" Ji Kong asked.
"That's how it is..."
Nan Qinli began to talk to Ji Kong about the whole story on the phone.
The special release of "Sword Art Online" is at 8 o'clock on Saturday morning. At 6 o'clock that morning, Nan Qinli was woken up by the alarm clock, then got up from the bed, called her friends, and after confirming that they were getting up, she went to the bathroom to wash up.
"Mom, I'm out!"
After washing up, Nan Qinli shouted to Nan Ri, who was still sleeping in the bedroom.
"I won't have class today, why do I have to go out so early?"
"Well...because there is something that must be done!"
