Chapter 230 - 229: I’ve Been Written as the Protagonist of a light novel?
"Indeed, this is the quickest place to get the latest volume of a novel."
Outside Yae Publishing House, Durandal found the new volumes of the light novel she had been reading recently on a shelf displaying light novel.
Due to the Sakoku Decree, it took much longer for domestic light novel to reach overseas than before. Before Durandal came to Inazuma, the new volumes of the novels she read had not yet been sent to Liyue.
Durandal bought these novels without hesitation. She found a seat in a nearby restaurant, ordered a few skewers and hot tea, and began to read while eating.
"This light novel is something new. It must have appeared during the time I was gone."
Raiden Makoto curiously looked at the light novel in Durandal’s hand. During her lifetime, Inazuma had books, but not light novel.
Those books were usually quite dull, unlike the current light novel with their various strange and interesting plots and content.
"Very interested, Raiden Makoto?"
Durandal took a sip of tea and asked, "If you’re interested, you can read it. I haven’t read many light novel, but if you want to read, it’s better to start from volume one."
"Eh? Can I? But... in my current state, I can’t even hold anything, can I? Could it be... Miss Durandal, are you going to help me personally?"
Just like now, Raiden Makoto stood behind Durandal watching, and Durandal took out volume one and flipped through it page by page for her. Wouldn’t that allow her to read?
"No way. I’ve already read volume one. Compared to re-reading it, I’d rather read new content right now."
"Then..."
"You’re currently linked to me, right?"
"Eh? That’s right."
Durandal nodded, tapping her temple with her index finger. Raiden Makoto immediately felt a previously unknown memory appear in her mind.
After a brief moment of digestion, she realized that this memory was of the light novel Durandal had read.
"Miss Durandal?"
"I’m sharing my memories of the light novel with you. You just need to calm down and read slowly. You shouldn’t be unable to do even that much, right?"
Of course she could. Raiden Makoto could certainly meditate, but in the past, meditation was for cultivation. How did it become for reading light novel here?
Well~ never mind. Anyway, she didn’t need to fight anyone. Since she finally had a way to pass the time, she naturally had to make good use of it.
Raiden Makoto struck a pose, preparing to enjoy content she had never encountered before, when she noticed Durandal putting a skewer into her mouth.
Speaking of which, she hadn’t eaten for many years. During her slumber in the sacred sakura tree, she had almost forgotten the taste of food.
She stared at Durandal’s movements in a daze. She had, of course, tasted such snacks. Not only did she taste them privately, but when her good friends were still around, they would also bring gifts to visit her and her sister.
Now, there was certainly no chance to savor them properly, as she didn’t even have a body. How could she pick up things when she couldn’t even touch physical objects?
"...What a troublesome fellow."
Durandal noticed Raiden Makoto’s gaze. She couldn’t help but notice; the look in her eyes was too obvious, she couldn’t ignore it.
To allow herself to rest properly... it was truly just for herself, Durandal put down what she was holding, clapped her hands, and then resumed her previous actions.
"Hmm? Ah... huh?"
The dazed Raiden Makoto suddenly felt something. She initially thought it was just her imagination, but she quickly realized it wasn’t her delusion.
The taste... the taste of food spread in her mouth, and the familiar sensation reappeared, almost bringing tears to Raiden Makoto’s eyes.
"What’s going on, Miss Durandal? Why can I..."
"Sensory sharing. Because your soul is linked to mine, I can share certain senses with you. What you’re experiencing now is the taste I’m experiencing."
