Chapter 104: Friend’s Fee?

"A comic convention in China? What is it like?"

Sitting by the window in the milk tea shop, Youhua put down the pearl milk tea in her hand and looked up at Zhao Yu.

"Maybe it's just Japan's CM exhibition without some R18 related content? There's not much difference." Zhao Yu thought for a moment and spoke.

"In fact, Chengdu is very attractive to some otakus and it is also one of the cities with the most comic exhibitions in China."

"It sounds interesting, but it seems that China is not particularly averse to this kind of thing?" Youhua gently stirred the pearls in the milk tea with a straw and looked out the window.

Outside was a group of beautiful young girls, some wearing LO skirts, some wearing Hanfu, and they were showing off their bangs to their companions unscrupulously.

The amazing thing is that people passing by don’t seem to care about them, and there’s not even a hint of disdain in their eyes.

"It's just a hobby, what's there to be rejected about? Many of them are either students or office workers on break, and they just happen to get together on this day for the same hobby." Zhao Yu followed Youhua's gaze and spoke softly.

They came to the comic convention venue after leaving the panda base and having lunch. Li Qingwan had not arrived yet, so Zhao Yu took Youhua to the milk tea shop to rest for a while.

"In Japan, if you openly say you're an otaku, then you'll basically be out of social life," Yuka complained.

"Ah? Then why are there so many 2D avatars on the gaming companionship websites?" Zhao Yu thought that Japan's 2D world had successfully gotten rid of discrimination.

"That's because a large portion of the players of some games overlap with otakus, and some people don't want to show their faces, so they choose such avatars," said Yuka.

"Youka said that, aren't you a homebody?"

"Yujun's words are like asking me if I am a parasite..."

“So in Japan, otakus and parasites are linked?”

"Not only that, even some criminals are mostly so-called 2D otakus."

"It seems that there is indeed a big difference between Japan and China..." Zhao Yu thought thoughtfully.

He actually didn't know much about this aspect. He just heard that otakus are unwelcome in Japan, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

"So when Yujun said he wanted to go to the comic convention, I was a little surprised. I didn't expect that you would be willing to go and play with otaku." Yuhua said.

"Ah? I'm a otaku too? And I like Kamen Rider..." Zhao Yu retorted in a low voice.

"People like you and me are not considered otaku in Neon, we are just ordinary people."

Although Yuka sometimes calls herself a otaku, she would still mind if others called her that.

So she began to explain to Zhao Yu the difference between otakus and ordinary people, and Zhao Yu finally understood the differences in the cognition of China and Japan in this regard.

In general, in Japan, reading comics and watching anime in your free time between work or school cannot be called being a otaku.

The real otaku in the second dimension is the kind of guy who relies on his parents, cannot integrate into society, and is uneducated and sloppy.

On the contrary, in China, anyone who likes anime can be called a 2D otaku, so it includes a considerable number of ordinary people.

"I think I understand now. That is to say, the otaku you are talking about is actually a waste." Zhao Yu started to complain.

Even the Sanhe masters and Shajing bar brothers rarely live off their parents at home. They know how to work one day and play for three days.

"That's probably what it means. If Chinese otakus are like this, then I'll feel more at ease." Yuka breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid of being crowded at comic conventions and then running into those extremely sloppy otakus.

Now it seems that everyone in China is actually just an ordinary person who comes to relax after work.

"By the way, when will the friends Yujun is waiting for arrive? Why do I feel like there are more and more people around?" Youhua looked out the window again.

At this time, all kinds of people began to gather around, and even some cosplayers in cosplay costumes came to the milk tea shop.

"Let me ask. She should be here soon, right?" Zhao Yu said as he took out his cell phone.

"You haven't come in such a long time? Did you stand me up?"

"I didn't! We're almost there, don't worry..."

Just after sending the message, Li Qingwan replied to Zhao Yu instantly, which made Zhao Yu a little confused. Was this guy also looking at his phone on the road?
"She said she's almost there, so I'll go and see where she is..." Zhao Yu put away his phone and walked towards the entrance of the milk tea shop.

After looking at the street for a long time and seeing countless cars passing by, Zhao Yu still didn't see the car that Li Qingwan drove last time.

"You said we're almost there, so you're not going to set off, are you?"

While making such guesses, Zhao Yu turned around and prepared to go back to the milk tea shop, but he saw a sneaky figure in the corner.

She stood in the blind spot of the floor-to-ceiling window of the milk tea shop, and from time to time she would peek into the scene inside the store, then return to the corner and begin pacing restlessly again.

Zhao Yu walked quietly to her side, bent down and spoke beside her.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look Youhua...when did you discover me!" Li Qingwan was shocked. She turned around and saw Zhao Yu, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looking at you, could it be that you came when you sent me a message?" Zhao Yu looked at Li Qingwan with a hint of doubt on his face.

She was wearing an LO skirt today, which was very similar to the girls at the door. If she blended in with them, it would be difficult to be discovered.

The most important thing is that Li Qingwan’s position allows her to see inside the milk tea shop, but it is difficult for people inside to notice this place.

Li Qingwan didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and grabbed the bag on her body with her hands.

"I saw that you weren't that shy when you saw me before. Why are you afraid to even go in now?" Zhao Yu said.

"That...that's because you are a good friend, of course you won't be shy! Youhua is different..." Li Qingwan said, raising her head.

"What's the difference? She can't eat you. Let's go. Yuhua is still waiting for us." "Did she ask about the comic convention? Does she hate otakus?" Li Qingwan asked.

"So that's what you're worried about. I've already explained this to Youhua. Don't worry." Zhao Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn't it Li Qingwan who suggested going to the comic convention? Why was she afraid of this question now?

"That's good. I was planning to explain it to her myself, but now it's fine if you tell her." Li Qingwan patted her chest.

She is different from Zhao Yu. She is very clear about Neon's attitude towards otakus, and she also knows that Yuhua is not a real otaku. Instead, she is the one with the strongest otaku flavor.

For Li Qingwan, she likes sunny and cheerful girls like Youhua very much. Every time she sees Youhua, she feels that her dark and damp body becomes warm.

Over time, after watching their live broadcasts so many times, she was no longer satisfied with just feeling Yuka's sunshine on the screen, and began to think about becoming friends with Yuka offline.

But she wasn't sure whether Yuka would hate real otaku, so she suggested going to the comic convention and meeting Yuka at this time.

"Don't just stand there, come in." After arriving at the door, Zhao Yu spoke to Li Qingwan who was still hesitating behind him.

"You go first, I'll follow you." Li Qingwan said hesitantly.

She felt as nervous as if she was meeting her idol.

"Forget it, whatever you want." Zhao Yu shrugged and walked towards the window seat.

"Yuuka, I'm back."

"Why is Yujun here alone?" Youhua asked Zhao Yu.

"Huh? No? And..." Zhao Yu turned around and found that there was no one beside him.

"No? Ran away?"

Just as I was about to go look for it, I felt a pulling sensation from behind.

"I didn't run away. I'm behind you... You didn't start the live broadcast, right?" Li Qingwan asked.

"No, it's turned off during meal time," said Zhao Yu.

"That's good, then I'll come out..." Li Qingwan took a deep breath and poked her head out from behind Zhao Yu.

"Hello, Youhua, I'm Li Qingwan." Li Qingwan said this in Neon language, which made Youhua on the other side feel very friendly.

"So, so cute!" Yuka covered her mouth and her eyes lit up.

"Yujun actually knows such a cute girl!"

"Let me introduce her to you. She's the girl who often gives me tips in my live broadcast room, and she's also my current...partner." Zhao Yu said.

Upon hearing this, Youhua, who had just praised Li Qingwan for being cute, suddenly changed her expression.

He looked at Li Qingwan, who was sticking her head out from behind Zhao Yu, with scrutiny.

If I remember correctly, the sponsor that Yujun chatted privately with last time was also her. I thought it was a man and didn't take it seriously, but it turned out to be a girl?

This requires some caution... Recalling the comments about fan appreciation festival before the barrage, Yuka's eyes became more and more subtle.

Yujun...do you like something smaller?

Li Qingwan, also a girl, could tell at a glance what Youhua was thinking. She hurriedly came out from behind Zhao Yu and sat opposite Youhua.

"Don't get me wrong! I'm not interested in Zhao Yu. In fact, the person I'm interested in is you!"

"Huh?"*2
Zhao Yu and Youhua expressed doubts in unison, and even the other guests nearby cast strange looks at them.

It was simply that Li Qingwan's voice was too loud and everyone heard her explosive remarks.

The three of them fell silent at the same time. Yuka's expression turned a little ugly, and she unconsciously clutched the milk tea tightly.

So she gave Yujun so much money as a reward, is she actually interested in me?
Could it be that Yujun was threatened by her with money? Otherwise, she wouldn't have brought her to see me... For Yujun, should I obey her?
To her, Zhao Yu is everything now. She will not refuse anything he asks her to do, even if it is against her own will.

Yujun must have his own difficulties...

In just a moment, countless little thoughts flashed through Yuka's mind.

"No, say something! Explain it quickly!" Zhao Yu looked at Youhua with an ugly expression and poked Li Qingwan who was still in a daze.

"Oh, oh! That's not what I meant! Listen to me..." Li Qingwan hurriedly began to explain to Youhua.

After a while, Youhua's face returned to normal. She then understood Li Qingwan's purpose and spoke to her shyly.

"I'm Ueno Yuuka, and I'm glad to be your friend."

Yuuka said this and held out her hand.

"Hehehe, finally...finally I became friends with Youhua." Li Qingwan grabbed Youhua's hand with a silly smile on her face.

At the same time, she quickly took out her mobile phone and started operating it, and a notification immediately popped up on Zhao Yu's phone.

? ? ? ?
"What are you doing?" Zhao Yu said to Li Qingwan.

"Is this the friend fee for Youhua? You are not allowed to keep it all for yourself!" Li Qingwan turned her head.

"Be normal!" Zhao Yu complained loudly.

Why do you make yourself look like a pimp?
