My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

Fumino Furuhashi stared blankly as Dongfang Bai above her brandished his rifle and pulled the trigger. Dozens of zombies were appearing every second, making it impossible to react...!

Even before Fumino Furuhashi could see where the zombie came from, Dongfang Bai had already killed it with his gun. This reflex was incredible.

Ding Dong!

The game ended with a score of 300,000 points in 17 minutes, an extremely impressive record. At this moment, Dongfang Bai let out a deep breath. Sixteen minutes of intense concentration was truly exhausting.

That UMR guy was really amazing; he managed to last for fourteen minutes.

"Bai Jun, you're really amazing...!"

Fumino Furuhashi couldn't help but clap her hands, her face flushed with excitement. The top spot on the online platform had already been taken by Dongfang Bai, and his registered ID was…

This was the first time she had ever seen such a skillful maneuver. She couldn't see the zombie's movements at all, but Dongfang Bai not only saw them clearly, but also reacted so quickly.

'DNF' is the ID that Dongfang Bai registered. He just randomly thought of a few letters and typed them in. It's like he and the second-place 'UMR' were in sync, both being three letters.

"Alright, alright, we've had our fun, let's go to the library now."

Dongfang Bai chuckled softly. In fact, he was exhausted, feeling like he had used up all his exercise from the past year. His wrists were still a little numb.

He had no idea that the record 'UMR' set at the time was so high that no one could break it. To achieve that score, Umaru Doma played the game at the arcade every day for a long time.

The goal was to achieve the highest score and leave the second-place player far behind, which became a legend among arcade players.

But today, something even more outrageous has emerged, achieving such a score that it's now impossible to even surpass the second-place player, let alone the first. This isn't a myth; it's an ancient legend.

"Huh?! I completely forgot..."

Fumino Furuhashi was taken aback. She then remembered that her and Dongfang Bai's original purpose was to go to the library to study. They had only agreed to come to the arcade for a short while, but they ended up playing for a long time.

Dongfang Bai was both amused and exasperated, because he had also forgotten that he had been too busy playing.

"It's okay. If we hurry, we can study for about two more hours now."

Dongfang Bai glanced at the watch on his left wrist, exchanged a look with Fumino Furuhashi, and immediately took action. The two quickly walked towards the door, only to bump straight into an unexpected person...

"Huh...?"

Fumino Furuhashi's expression froze for a moment, then instantly turned deathly pale, becoming terrifyingly bloodless. What she saw was none other than Kirisu Mafuyu-sensei...!

Moreover, they bumped into each other in an arcade, and it was a complete disaster!

Running into Mafuyu Kirisu in the arcade is like skipping class to play games at an internet cafe only to find your homeroom teacher sitting next to you—the deep sense of fear is indescribable.

[Oh no, oh no, oh no! I actually ran into Kirisu Mafuyu-sensei here! This is just too unlucky! If only I had just obediently gone to the library with Haku-kun from the start!]

Fumino Furuhashi felt like her soul had left her body; her legs were even a little weak from standing. And Kirisu-sensei was standing right across from her without saying a word—she must be angry!

"..."

Kirisu Mafuyu was also stunned. She had thought she had bumped into someone, but wasn't this Furuhashi Fumino?! And next to her was Dongfang Bai. Why were they running into each other here?!

Meeting your own student in an arcade is like dating online and finally finding a girl you know, only to turn on the video and realize it's someone you know... that feeling...

Shame, absolutely shameful to the point of wanting to die...

[What a blunder, what a blunder, what a blunder... To think I'd run into Dongfang and Guqiao here! I'm doomed, my teacher's authority is about to explode! I should never have come in...]

At this moment, Fumino Furuhashi and Mafuyu Kirisu were both silent, neither of them knowing what to say, and they couldn't even look each other in the eye.

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ········

Meanwhile, Dongfang Bai glanced at Kirisu Mafuyu's calm expression, while the fingers of her right hand were still trembling slightly... At that moment, Dongfang Bai understood.

He had already discerned their thoughts, because even Kirisu Mafuyu's own sister didn't know her as well as he did. Her current state was most likely due to extreme shame and embarrassment.

But you can't show it on your face...

To be honest, when Dongfang Bai first saw that figure that looked so much like Kirisu Mafuyu, he thought it was just a simple illusion. He didn't expect it to actually be true, and that the other person was also here to play games.

"Ahem, Kirisu-sensei, you mentioned before that you were coming here to pick up something from an acquaintance, right? Have you gotten it yet?"

..... ....... ...

"Hmm...? Ah, I've already got it. It's the information I was going to ask a friend for."

Kirisu Mafuyu paused for a moment, then picked up her backpack and shook it, as if to say that there was something inside.

"Alright, Guqiao, we should go now. You've already delivered the medicine to your aunt, and we should head to the library to study."

Dongfang Bai gently nudged Fumino's shoulder, bringing her back from her out-of-body state. She was quite clever and reacted immediately.

"Yes, thank you so much, Bai Jun, for taking the time to help me with my studies."

To make the 'lie' more believable, Fumino Furuhashi even took out her library pass from her pocket...

"We'll be going now. Professor Kirisu must be busy with his errands, right?"

"um, yes."

Kirisu Mafuyu nodded calmly, then said something to Dongfang Bai and turned to leave, completely getting away with it.

"Phew... Phew, that scared me to death... Bai Jun, thank you so much!"

Fumino Furuhashi's most feared teacher was Mafuyu Kirisu, and she had actually managed to get away with it this time. She hadn't expected there to be such a method, and she thanked Dongfang Bai with a very sincere expression.

"It's good that you're alright..."

Only Dongfang Bai knew the truth, and he felt quite impressive that he was able to help two people escape this emergency at the same time.

Little did he know that he would suddenly receive thanks from two people...

"Phew...so tired..."

Fumino Furuhashi took a deep breath, sighed softly, and stretched out with a big yawn. She clasped her hands together and pushed herself out, revealing the curves of her body clearly.

"Hey, are you thirsty?"

Dongfang Bai slowly walked back from a distance, carrying a bottle of cola and a glass of strawberry milk. He thought that girls probably wouldn't like carbonated drinks like cola because they are easy to gain weight, so he handed her the strawberry milk instead.

"Huh?"

Fumino Furuhashi was taken aback. She subconsciously accepted the strawberry milk that Dongfang Bai handed her. It was at room temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. She gave a slight smile.

"Bai Jun, I am so grateful...you have helped me so much."

As she spoke, Fumino Furuhashi quickly pulled out her wallet to return the money for the Strawberry Milk "573" to Dongfang Bai, but he refused. After all, he was a boy, and it was just a cup of milk; how could he accept money for it...

In fact, Dongfang Bai only helped Fumino Furuhashi with her studies because he considered her a close friend, and he only provided guidance...

Fumino Furuhashi paused for a moment, then put her wallet back. She held the milk in both hands, quite happy. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but Dongfang Bai had actually chosen her favorite drink...

She actually really likes strawberry milk, and she often goes to the convenience store to buy it. Few people know about this hobby of hers.

"Thank you so, so much today!"

Fumino Furuhashi stood up solemnly and bowed to Dongfang Bai. Thanks to his guidance, she had learned quite a bit, and at least she wasn't completely clueless about the math problems her teacher had explained recently.

It won't be easy to completely improve her math scores, but it's still beneficial for Dongfang Bai to give her some guidance occasionally.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Dongfang Bai didn't expect Fumino Furuhashi to be so excited. Bowing in Japan is already a very strong way to thank or apologize. The strongest way to apologize is to dogeza, no, it should be a sliding dogeza.

"I'll be going now. Go back and review on your own."

Dongfang Bai glanced at the time; it was already a bit late. He had to go back and prepare dinner for Sagiri, and also for Umaru. Although she could cook, she had decided not to cook anymore after tasting Dongfang Bai's cooking yesterday.

These past few days, Umaru has become good friends with the fairy and often visits Dongfang Bai's house. Although because of her visits, Sagiri seems to have hardly left her room these past few days.

"Okay, goodbye Bai Jun..."

As Fumino Furuhashi watched Dongfang Bai turn around and leave the library without hesitation, as if he were fleeing, she felt a slight illusion about her own charm.

She didn't think she was ugly, so why did Dongfang Bai leave so quickly? Was there something wrong with her charm?

"..."

Her face flushed as she looked at the strawberry milk in her hand. After inserting the straw, she took a sip. It was very sweet, sweeter than any strawberry milk she had ever had before, and her heart inexplicably started beating faster...

……

"Volume 3?! You're almost finished with Volume 3?!"

Kagurazaka Ayame let out an incredulous shout on the other end of the phone. How did Dongfang Bai manage to do that? She remembered that Dongfang Bai's Fate series had only just released its second volume less than half a month ago, and the third volume was almost ready to be completed.

This isn't just lightning speed, it's like Yamada Fairy using super-level magic to summon the completed manuscript from another world!

"If I hadn't carefully read through each of your drafts and even visited your home, I would have suspected that you had prepared a whole year's worth of drafts in advance..."

Kagurazaka Ayame sighed helplessly. At this time, Dongfang Bai can be said to be a 'celebrity' in Dengeki Bunko. Even the entire industry is praising his update speed. Even those tentacle monsters are not as fast as him.

"I feel alright..."

Dongfang Bai curled his lips. He really felt that his update speed was quite ordinary. Compared to those online novel writers in China, this was a terrible writing speed. In China, this writing speed wouldn't even be enough to make a living.

You should know that those are the real tentacle monsters, practically 'human word machines'. There are countless writers who can write 10,000 to 20,000 words a day. A mere 100,000-word light novel can be finished by those writers in less than a week...

"Fine, I'll benefit from your fast update speed too. Oh, and don't forget... the Dengeki Bunko Writers' Annual Meeting next month."

A writers' annual meeting?

Dongfang Bai was taken aback, then nodded with a look of sudden realization. If Kagurazaka Ayame hadn't mentioned it, he would have really forgotten that there was a writers' annual meeting next month.

But it seems like too much trouble. Maybe I should find an opportunity to say I'm not feeling well and cancel.

"Hey, you little brat, are you secretly trying to find an excuse to skip this?"

Kagurazaka Ayame's tone seemed somewhat doubtful, so Dongfang Bai coughed lightly twice and immediately spoke.

"No, no, no, how could that be? I've already made preparations, and I even bought a suitable outfit. I'm just waiting for the annual meeting to be held."

The so-called 'suitable clothes' were actually just a few casual outfits I bought while shopping, and they were rather plain styles. If I were going to a writers' annual meeting, I would have to wear a suit.

"Is that right?"

Kagurazaka Ayame's tone was very suspicious. Based on her understanding of Dongfang Bai, how could this brat possibly participate in the activity obediently? He must be thinking of some kind of trick to sneak away.

The same thing happened at the last book signing event. This guy arrived at the venue only ten minutes before the event started, almost scaring a group of staff members to death. And on April 4.8th, he slipped away halfway through the signing and disappeared again.

When I finally found him, he said he was going to have lunch, but he actually went to a coffee shop in Akihabara. Luckily I found him in time, otherwise it would have been bad if he had gotten away.
