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

Ding!

Wow, that's fast! It's only been less than ten seconds since the request was sent, and the message has already arrived.

Hello? Are you here for a job interview? Could you briefly describe your information?

This company is incredibly efficient; they must be desperate for staff, since nobody would believe such a dubious advertisement.

Well, I might as well try anything. I'm desperately short of money right now, and it will take some time before I can make money writing light novels. During this period, I can make ends meet with the money I borrowed from Yukino, but I can't afford anything else.

For example, high-end gaming PCs.

For a shut-in like him, not having games to play is worse than death. His first small goal is to buy a high-spec gaming desktop computer.

Congratulations! You've been accepted. You might receive your acceptance letter this week. Good luck!

The fact that the reviewer accepted him without hesitation after only hearing some basic information and looking at his photo makes it even more suspicious.

"This shouldn't be some kind of unscrupulous company... right?"

……

"Bai Sang? You finished writing it so quickly!?"

Before we knew it, it was time to get out of school. In Japan, classes end very early; even high school students finish around 3 or 4 p.m., leaving the rest of the time for club activities.

Those who didn't participate in clubs went straight home, and they didn't have much homework or evening study sessions.

"Yeah, because I've been writing all day."

Dongfang Bai copied the document from his phone directly to Line and sent it to Lunye. Line is a chat app frequently used in Japan, similar to a certain malicious penguin chat app.

He wasn't worried about sending out the original manuscript directly. After observing him for so long, he trusted Lunye completely, and he also needed an expert to evaluate it.

"Alright then... I'll go back and take a look."

Renya accepted the document with some skepticism, wondering how it could have been written in such a short time.

Chapter Twenty-One: The Frustrated Teacher Kirisu Mafuyu [Requesting Flowers and Reviews]

Kirisu Mafuyu is the homeroom teacher of Class 1-A in Toyonosaki. Her subject of instruction is 'World History'. She is usually a perfect superhuman at school.

She is also revered as a goddess by countless people because of her extremely high looks. Unfortunately, her personality is too cold and terrifying, making her an extremely aloof woman that no student dares to easily provoke.

Another ordinary day has passed. I'm back home, and my tense body can finally relax a little.

Completely ignoring the mountain of garbage piled up in her room and the trash can overflowing with snack wrappers, she took off her business attire as usual.

Then... he changed into a super convenient blue and white tracksuit he wore in high school, looking quite lazy.

I took out my usual potato chips from the bag and placed them on the low, round table. I turned on the game console under the TV, and the game screen immediately appeared on the TV.

This series of actions was very skillful, as if it had long been ingrained in her muscle memory.

Bang bang bang!

The player is controlling a controller to play the game. On the screen, a player holding a machine gun is randomly shooting at zombies, and Kirisu Mafuyu is able to get headshots with every shot.

She really enjoys shooting games, especially first-person shooters, and she's incredibly skilled at them, hitting the target with almost every shot.

It's hard to imagine that this teacher, who always has a stern face and a cold, strict demeanor at school, would turn into this person at home.

If her students who know her well saw this, they definitely wouldn't recognize this guy as Kirisu Mafuyu.

ding ding ding...

The small smartphone on the table suddenly vibrated, startling Ms. Kirisu Mafuyu so much that her finger trembled, causing her to miss her shot, and then she was pounced on and eaten by a zombie.

"Tsk."

Kirisu Mafuyu reluctantly put down the handset and then picked up her phone.

If it weren't for the note indicating 'Mom', she definitely wouldn't have wanted to answer, as it would have been a waste of her game time.

"Hello? Mom, is there something you need?"

"Little Mafuyu, do you have a crush on any now? How old are you? Don't you have one yet...?"

"It already exists."

For some reason, Kirisu Mafuyu reflexively replied that she didn't actually have a boyfriend and had never even been in a relationship in her entire life!

However, if I say "no" at this point, I will definitely be harassed by my mother who is pressuring me to get married, so I can only give a perfunctory answer to get by for now.

"really?"

Her mother's voice came from the other side, clearly tinged with suspicion, but Kirisu Mafuyu was no pushover; she was very adept at maintaining her authority in front of her students.

"Yes."

"That's wonderful! Little Mafuyu has a boy she likes now. Mom was really worried you wouldn't be able to get married~"

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. I'm very busy with work."

Actually, she was just busy playing games. Later, she was going to go online on her computer and play a multiplayer shooting game to relieve some stress.

"Don't worry~ Your sister Meichun is just about to visit you, I'll ask her to stop by and see how your boyfriend is doing~"

"Eh... Miharu?"

Kirisu Mafuyu's expression froze, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Only then did she realize the seriousness of the situation.

Oh no, oh no, oh no! This actually happened! What a blunder!

Ms. Kirisu, engrossed in her incessant chatter, paid no attention to what her mother said next, and had no interest in listening.

"That's all for now, Mom still needs to go out to buy groceries~"

After exchanging a few pleasantries with her, Kirisu Mafuyu's mother hung up the phone, and now she looked utterly desperate.

"What should I do...? I should have just said there wasn't any... How am I going to explain this now?"

Generally speaking, Kirisu Mafuyu is always fully prepared for everything she does, but this time she made a mistake and never expected Miharu to come to her side at this time.

Kirisu Miharu is Kirisu Mafuyu's younger sister and a student at Tokei Women's University. She always thought of her older sister as a perfect and strong woman.

"Ok?"

Kirisu Mafuyu suddenly saw an unexpected advertisement, and at that moment she seemed to have found a solution.

[Surprisingly! Japan launches its first-ever personal rental service! Whether it's a lover, friend, or even family member, sibling, your wishes can be fulfilled by our elite team!]

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Girl in the Bookstore [Seeking Flowers and Reviews]

"stare……"

If there were sound effects, you would definitely be able to hear this sound. Fumino Furuhashi just squinted and stared at Dongfang Bai's table without moving.

School has already ended, but no one is in a hurry to leave the classroom. Instead, they are staying in the classroom chatting about where to go to play later.

School ends very early in Japan, around 3 PM every day, so high school students have a lot of free time and can manage their time after school as they please.

Most girls go shopping with friends, while boys usually go out to play together, and many go straight home.

"Ugh……"

Fumino Furuhashi sighed softly, stood up from her seat, tidied up her things on the table, and prepared to leave.

I was just about to properly thank Dongfang, but as soon as school was over, he grabbed his bag and left without even a moment's hesitation, leaving me no time to say anything...

Moreover, he seems to be a very good student; he even solved the most challenging questions the teacher set with ease. I would like to ask him for help with my studies if possible.

I couldn't help but think of what Ms. Kirisu Mafuyu said during the day: With her mathematical talent, is she really capable of getting into a science university?

No, no, no!

Fumino Furuhashi stretched out her two fair and delicate hands and patted her smooth and delicate cheeks, making a loud sound.

"it hurts……"

She just wanted to pat her cheeks to cheer herself up, but she used a little too much force, and the pain made her frown.

"Okay, let's keep up the good work today!"

……

"Right now, I have about 100,000 Japanese yen left, which is about 10,000 RMB at most. If I want to buy a decent computer, I'll need at least 100,000 Japanese yen..."

Dongfang Bai frowned deeply, biting his thumbnail lightly—a habitual action he always performed when he was thinking.

As expected, I still need money. If I had a computer, I could at least double my writing speed, but right now, apart from that rather strange 'high-paying job,' I have no other way to make money.

Even if a novel becomes a huge hit, I won't receive any payment until next month. As a homebody, it's too hard not to have a computer...

Before he knew it, he had arrived in an unfamiliar place. When he looked up, he realized that he had never been to this area before, but it looked somewhat familiar.

The surrounding area is filled with buildings covered with all sorts of advertisements and posters, and many tall buildings have huge anime posters and important 'ACG news' such as a certain work being adapted into an anime.

The people coming and going were mostly alone, walking quickly by, carrying large hiking backpacks that could hold a lot of items, wearing simple clothes, and wearing large glasses.

This is undoubtedly a symbol of otaku, especially in a place where anime posters are plastered everywhere.

Could this be... Akihabara, the holy land of Japanese ACG?

"Ok?"

Dongfang Bai looked around with curiosity, and when he suddenly saw a 'fan-made anime' store, his eyes lit up with great interest.

This is his first time here. He really wanted to come before he traveled through time, and he never thought it would actually happen.
