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

"What a powerful Starburst Ponytail Slash...!?"

Dongfang Bai couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, while Yamada Elf was completely dumbfounded. Where did this Eriri come from, and why did she launch an attack on Dongfang Bai right from the start...

"hateful……!"

Eriri stopped attacking Dongfang Bai after realizing she couldn't reach him, but she was still fuming...

"Eri, what are you doing here...? No, why did you suddenly attack me?"

Dongfang Bai was filled with questions. What kind of emotions did Eriri have? It left him a little confused. Then Eriri puffed out her cheeks and didn't say a word.

Dongfang Bai instantly understood. If Eriri had a personality like that, even if she was angry, she would turn her head away arrogantly and say 'nothing,' but she would still be angry in reality.

"Are you saying I was with a fairy? Ah, this guy just slipped away when I wasn't looking to go see R18, and now I've caught him, so I'm doing this to prevent him from escaping. Besides, I was on my phone texting my companions to meet up..."

After Dongfang Bai's explanation, Eriri was dumbfounded. She seemed to realize that she had misunderstood something, and she stood there with her mouth slightly open for a long time without saying a word.

puff.

Yamada Elf next to her accidentally laughed, which immediately aroused Eriri's intense sense of shame.

"Waaaaah..."

Eriri felt extremely ashamed. Yamada Elf's uncontrollable laughter had made her face turn as red as a hot iron pot, and her head was practically steaming.

"What's so funny?!"

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

Sensing Eriri's tone, Yamada Elf, who had been holding back her laughter, couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing, clutching her stomach and tears welling up in her eyes.

It was really too interesting. Eriri suddenly came up and unleashed a Starburst Ponytail Slash on Dongfang Bai, a full twenty-one hits. Afterwards, when she realized it was a misunderstanding, she had that slightly open-mouthed, stunned expression.

It's so funny, I can't help but laugh.

"I'll fight you to the death!!"

Eriri's two beautiful big eyes, "603," were filled with tears. She wanted to go up and fight Yamada Elf to the death, but Dongfang Bai grabbed her and pulled her back.

"Don't act impulsively!"

"Bai, don't hold me back! I'm going to fight her!!"

Just then, another group of people arrived. Kuroko, Saori, and Kirino were curious about the commotion, but when they came over, they saw Eriri being held by Dongfang Bai's two hands.

Eriri's face was flushed red, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell. She bared her teeth and claws at Yamada Elf, looking like a helpless, furious little dog.

Meanwhile, Yamada Elf continued laughing without a care in the world, as if she had become addicted and couldn't stop.

"What's going on...?"

Black Cat was completely baffled as to what had happened. They had arranged to meet Dongfang Bai at this place, but instead, they witnessed such a strange scene...

After about ten minutes of mediation, Yamada Elf and Eriri managed to calm down. Eriri had used all her strength to break free from Dongfang Bai's restraints and no longer had the energy to fight Yamada Elf.

Yamada Elf laughed for a long time before finally stopping, though she was still wiping away the tears that had streamed down her face from laughing.

"So, what I mean is that Kashiwagi-sensei saw Yakumo-senpai and Yamada-sensei looking very close, and then he got carried away and started attacking Yakumo-senpai. Later, he realized it was a misunderstanding, and then Kashiwagi-sensei got angry because of Yamada-sensei's mockery."

After thinking about it for a long time, the black cat finally managed to organize and recount the whole story clearly. She had a speechless expression on her face, clearly complaining about something in her mind.

"What a delightful love triangle drama!"

Kirino Kousaka, standing nearby, voiced what Kuroneko and Saori were thinking. While her straightforward personality was good, it wasn't appropriate to say it at this moment, as it could easily evoke Eriri's sense of shame.

"But why is Eriri here? Didn't you say you weren't coming to the summer festival?"

"I just came to take a look because I was bored, is that not allowed?"

Eriri snorted and turned her head away. She had only followed along to see if Dongfang Bai had gone to buy her notebook.

As expected, Dongfang Bai bought her notebook. Although there were many strange books in the bag, her notebook was still quite eye-catching and could be seen at a glance.

"But you've arrived a bit late. It's getting late, so we'll be heading out soon."

Saori pushed up her bulky, round-framed glasses, which completely obscured her upper face, making it impossible to see her clearly.

Indeed, it was getting late, and everyone was preparing to leave. Kirino Kousaka was carrying a rather large bag on her shoulder, filled with merchandise.

It was all related to peripheral products; even without looking, Dongfang Bai knew she had gained a lot.

"I just came by casually and am leaving soon."

Eriri didn't mind. Although she had made a big fool of herself today, she had confirmed that Dongfang Bai hadn't breached the contract, so she still went to buy her doujinshi.

"Shall we go back together?"

Dongfang Bai tried to invite her, but she just snorted and turned away, completely ignoring him...

As her childhood friend, Dongfang Bai was well aware of Eriri's personality. Although she seemed to be ignoring him, she wasn't actually angry at all.

Besides, the reason she didn't want these people to go back together was probably because of the misunderstanding she had just caused—it was just too embarrassing, and a girl as thin-skinned as Eriri couldn't stand it…

"Ah, they've left."

Yamada Elf watched as Sawamura Eriri left the venue in an instant and walked back alone, then said something with a sigh.

"Let's go back then, we had a pretty good day."

Dongfang Bai watched Eriri walk away, then smiled and nodded. Although a lot had happened today and it was quite absurd, he was still quite happy.

Seeing the little dragon, the dragon selling books, the maid dragon, and even a 'real' angel who had infiltrated the comic convention, today was quite a fulfilling day.

"I'm exhausted today."

The black cat sighed softly. After spending the whole day playing with Kirino Kousaka, her bones were about to fall apart.

"Although the summer festival is tiring, you can still find joy in it if you really immerse yourself in it."

Saori spoke with a straight face, and what she said was indeed quite reasonable. Later on, Dongfang Bai blended in with the otaku around him and even took some photos with some cosplayers.

It's unclear whether those cosplayers were real cosplayers or, like some angel who snuck into the convention, were alien beings from another world.

Everyone left the Summer ACG venue amidst laughter and chatter, and went outside. The sun wasn't so strong anymore, and it was much cooler. Black Cat put on a jacket, transforming from a white cat back into a black cat.

"Ugh~ I'm so tired."

Yamada Fairy stretched out a big yawn. Like Dongfang Bai, she had been running around the venue all day and had a lot of fun, so it was normal for her to be tired.

"Would you like to come over for dinner when you get back?"

Dongfang Bai asked Yamada Fairy a question. It was already four or five in the afternoon. He needed to go back to cook for Sagiri, and he also asked Fairy if she wanted to come and eat with him.

"Okay, I'm too tired to cook today."

Yamada Fairy's eyes lit up; indeed, at this moment, going to Dongfang Bai's house for a meal was the best choice!

The group of five left the summer festival with their bags full. For some reason, Little Dragon and Gabriel were nowhere to be seen when they came out. They must have gone back early.

"Senior Yakumo, are you planning to read the physical copy of my manuscript?"

Black Cat stood next to Dongfang Bai. She was only about 1.55 meters tall, so she was much shorter than Dongfang Bai and had to look up at him.

"Then... let's go with the physical one."

After thinking about it, Dongfang Bai decided to read the physical manuscript. Heimao probably wrote novels on a computer like him, but the difference was that she liked to print out her books.

So Dongfang Bai simply went along with her and asked her to print out the manuscript, which would be more convenient.

"I understand. I'll come to see you when I have time."

Black Cat's face was slightly flushed, probably from shyness. Even in her sharp-tongued 'Black Cat' form, she still looked like a white cat next to Dongfang Bai.

"Hey, I can help you read manuscripts too! I'm a top-selling author too!"

For some reason, Yamada Elf suddenly spoke up, only to be met with an eye roll from the black cat, who then retorted with a sarcastic remark.

"Yamada-sensei's writing style doesn't really suit me."

The gist is that Yamada Elf's books tend to be more fanservice-oriented, so Black Cat felt it wasn't really appropriate to discuss things with her; it would be better to consult Dongfang Bai, who has a better eye for various things.

"Hey, what are you guys whispering about behind me? If you don't hurry up, I'm going to leave you behind!"

Kirino Kousaka was in a very happy mood. With a smile on her face, she called out to the four people behind her, which also attracted the attention of others.

"Kirino?"

A very gentle female voice suddenly came from behind. The owner of the voice was surprised and incredulous. Dongfang Bai looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl who was the same age as the black cat Kirino Fairy and the others.

She has a delicate and beautiful appearance, with fair skin like white jade, long and beautiful black hair, a very slender figure, slightly thick eyebrows, and exudes a very calm and composed temperament.

Just like when Dongfang Bai first met Takasaka Kirino, this girl was also very beautiful. She was wearing a blue coat and a skirt, which gave her a very trendy and stylish look.

The other party seemed to be at the forefront of fashion sense, a stark contrast to people like Dongfang Bai who dressed casually.

Especially Saori, who was dressed in an otaku-style outfit, created a stark contrast with the other person.

Who is she?

Yamada Fairy frowned slightly. She seemed to sense that Kousaka Kirino's smile was a little stiff. Kousaka Kirino, who was usually very assertive no matter what, was now having her calves trembling slightly.

Is she afraid?

"Black Cat, do you know?"

It seemed that this was also the first time Dongfang Bai had seen this girl. He didn't have any impression of her before. Although she looked somewhat familiar, he just couldn't remember her name.

"I don't know, he's probably that guy's friend."

The black cat's expression gradually became calm. It was clear that she had figured out the girl's identity. She was probably a friend of Kousaka Kirino's in the real world, the kind of girl who went to school with her.

"I think so too."

Dongfang Bai nodded, because the other person was dressed in a very trendy style, and it was clear that they had absolutely no connection with people from the otaku world.

This is what Dongfang Bai often refers to as a "real-life person".
