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

Is his cooking skill really that good?!

"Well, not bad."

Yamada Elf nodded with her arms crossed. Her small body belied her mature demeanor, making her incredibly cute. She even nodded her little head in a pretentious manner while eating.

Although Dongfang Bai's cooking is also delicious, it is still a little bit inferior to that of the fairy. The fairy can be said to be an all-around chef. If she were to get married, she would be an all-around housewife.

"good to eat!"

Eriri was shocked. The food Dongfang Bai cooked was already very delicious. As a girl, she only knew how to cook noodles. When she stayed up late, she simply ate instant noodles.

She was amazed by Dongfang Bai's cooking skills, feeling utterly outclassed as a girl.

But didn't he just say 'although it might not taste as good as what the fairy makes'? So, Yamada Fairy can actually cook?! And her cooking skills are even better than Dongfang Bai's?

At that moment, Eriri felt a great sense of threat. She stared intently at Yamada Fairy, making Yamada Fairy pause in surprise.

Upon closer inspection, the fairy is indeed adorable, and she can also write light novels, has excellent cooking skills, and can live independently and support herself. She can be considered a very strong enemy!

But Eriri wouldn't give up. She also had her own advantages. She knew Dongfang Bai earlier than anyone else, and the highest marriage rate in Japan was among childhood sweethearts!

The group finished their meal quickly. Dongfang Bai first went upstairs to retrieve Sagiri's empty plate, and then planned to take Eriri home.

"I can go back by myself...!"

Eriri pouted. Although she said that, she was actually quite happy inside. Yamada Elf, who was standing next to her, sighed slightly. She couldn't stand watching this guy anymore.

That's too much of a tsundere act! If she were Eriri, she would have asked Dongfang Bai to take her home, then just casually attacked him in the middle of the road, and maybe she would have successfully confessed her feelings!

However, if Yamada Elf were to actually confess her feelings, she wouldn't dare. Tsundere girls are all quite shy, and it's absolutely impossible for them to take the initiative to confess. They would only give hints to the other person in a frantic way.

"Let me take you home. It's very late now, and it's dangerous."

Dongfang Bai could see that Eriri was just being tsundere, and still planned to take her home, because it was indeed not safe at night, and it would be troublesome if she ran into some thugs.

"Hmph~ then do as you please."

Eriri gave a soft snort, too lazy to even tie her pigtails, and went out with her hair down. Because it was dark at night, she also wore black-rimmed glasses.

"By the way, are you afraid of the dark?"

"No way, only little kids are afraid of this kind of thing."

When asked by Dongfang Bai, Eriri answered with disdain. Although she was indeed quite afraid of the dark, she was actually a little hesitant to go back alone.

Dongfang Bai and Yingli were walking along the road, chatting idly, when suddenly a small white dog darted out from the side and barked at Yingli.

Woof woof woof...!

"Whoaaaaaah!?"

Eriri was so frightened that she threw herself into Dongfang Bai's arms. This child is extremely timid; she would be too scared to move if frightened by a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

The little white dog gave Dongfang Bai a very human-like look and then ran away.

Dude, that's all I can do for you!

Dongfang Bai was stunned. Wasn't this little white dog the one he had fed before, the one that had startled Shenye Hui? And the one that often stole the little devil's pineapple buns!

How can it appear anywhere? I can even see it here.

"It's alright, it's alright, don't be afraid."

Dongfang Bai gently patted Eriri's back, but she really was timid; her legs were trembling. Any ordinary girl would be frightened if a stray dog ​​suddenly jumped out from the roadside and barked at her late at night.

Not to mention Eriri, a girl who is not very brave to begin with, she would definitely be too scared to move.

After half a day, Dongfang Bai finally delivered Eriri to her doorstep. Her house was quite large, and the person who opened the door was a black-haired...woman? Should it be called a girl or a woman...?

She looks so young. I still remember her a little. She's Eriri's mother. She looked like this a few years ago. Now Eriri is all grown up, but she still looks the same.

Moreover, she looks very similar to Eriri. Apart from having black hair and wine-red eyes, she is extremely similar to Eriri in both appearance and figure. People who don't know them might think they are sisters.

"Oh, it's 4.8 Haku-kun who brought Eriri back. Thank you for your hard work."

Sawamura Sayuri smiled as she looked at Dongfang Bai, but her gaze seemed a little strange, like the way the owner of that wagashi shop down the hill looked at her...

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter."

"It's so late, why don't you come in and sleep here tonight?"

"Ah...? No, no need."

Dongfang Bai realized that the other party had actually invited him in, and for some reason, he instinctively wanted to refuse.

"That's a real shame. See you next time then."

Sayuri chuckled softly and led Eriri inside.

Actually, it's fortunate that Dongfang Bai didn't go in. If he had, he probably would have slept with Eriri tonight because there were no rooms available...

Chapter 66 A Date with Yukino [Please Subscribe Automatically]

On Saturday morning, Dongfang Bai arrived at the foot of the department store as agreed. The most obvious place to find someone was the huge billboard, and Dongfang Bai was standing under the pillar beneath the billboard.

"call."

Dongfang Bai took a deep breath, intending to calm himself down. Such a formal date was quite rare, especially one with Yukino.

He had dressed up quite carefully today, wearing a casual blue jacket and a black long-sleeved shirt, with trousers and mesh shoes on his bottom. He stood under the pillar waiting for Yukino's arrival.

Yukino has a rather aloof personality, so to be honest, Dongfang Bai was quite surprised that she would take the initiative to invite him to come and buy things.

Just then, Dongfang Bai suddenly saw the girl in the distance. Her gaze was fixed on him. She paused slightly when she saw Dongfang Bai, and then walked over even faster.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting..."

Yukino Yukinoshita is wearing a light blue coat and a light purple lace-up dress today. Unlike usual, her beautiful long black hair is tied into twin tails with two dark red ribbons.

"It's okay, I just arrived recently. Yukino's outfit is very cute."

Although Dongfang Bai was smiling on the surface, he was actually internally cursing himself: 'I just arrived! You look great today!' Isn't this the standard date compliment routine?!

When did I become so adept at saying these words...?

"Really? Let's hurry up and go."

Yukino didn't seem moved by Dongfang Bai's praise. With a calm expression, she walked towards the mall first. Dongfang Bai shook his head slightly and followed her.

"You're going to buy something today, right? What do you want to buy?"

"It's my first time buying a birthday gift for a friend, and I don't know how to choose..."

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. She had never helped anyone choose a gift before, not even for her own birthday, let alone helping someone else choose a gift.

From elementary school to high school, she was the envy of all the school's goddesses. She was beautiful and had a cool demeanor. She ranked first in all deviation values ​​and was a perfect girl with outstanding academic and other achievements.

However, her aloof and cold personality made it impossible for anyone to feel any desire to approach her.

Because of this, boys who admired her dared not approach her, and girls her age were extremely jealous. As a result, she had no friends at all. In elementary school, her shoes were often hidden away, and it was quite normal for them to be taken away by dogs.

"For a friend...?"

Dongfang Bai's expression began to change. He knew very well how difficult it was for someone like Yukino to make friends. She was sharp-tongued and not good at interpersonal communication, but now she was actually picking out gifts for her friends.

"She's a girl, I met her in the clubroom..."

Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to deliberately emphasize the word 'girl', and Dongfang Bai was quite surprised that she could make friends. In fact, Dongfang Bai admired the girl who could become friends with Yukino even more.

How could she become friends with Yukino, who is aloof and whose words are always cutting? Does she possess the power to melt icebergs?

If Kasumigaoka Utaha is a flower on a high mountain, then Yukino Yukinoshita is truly an iceberg girl, with an extremely cold personality.

"She must be a very nice person."

"Ah."

Dongfang Bai first took Yukino to the mall's toy section. Since Yukino had hardly ever been to a mall before, she would definitely not know where to start if she were alone. Fortunately, Dongfang Bai was there to guide her.

"It's a cat plush toy."

Dongfang Bai looked at the giant cat plush toy on display in the mall. It was an exceptionally large one, big enough to hold in one's arms. He seemed to think of his own 'Lucifer,' which looked somewhat similar to this guy.

stare……

Yukino Yukinoshita kept her gaze fixed on the cat doll, and when Dongfang Bai looked at her, she immediately and naturally looked at other things.

If Dongfang Bai hadn't known she liked cats, he might have actually been fooled.

"Waiter, could you please wrap up that cat plush toy over there for me?"

Dongfang Bai smiled and pointed to the cat doll above. Yukino Yukinoshita was clearly taken aback, then walked over and asked Dongfang Bai.

"Does Bai Jun think it would be better to give her this doll?"

"No, I was planning to give this to you."

Dongfang Bai smiled. Yukino was too cute; she actually mistook him for someone else buying it for her friend.

Yukino Yukinoshita was clearly taken aback when she heard this. She hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I came out today to buy a gift for my friend. You don't need to spend any extra money."

"It's alright, it's just a toy. Doesn't Xiaoxue want it?"

"..."

When Dongfang Bai asked her if she wanted it, Yukino hesitated noticeably and didn't say anything for a long time. Just as she was about to speak, the waiter next to her suddenly came over.

"Hello sir, this plush toy is not for sale. However, if you'd like it, you can try the beanbag game next to it. If you win, you can get it and give it to your girlfriend."

"Not my girlfriend..."

When Yukino heard the waiter say that she was Dongfang Bai's girlfriend, even her usually aloof personality couldn't hold back, and she quickly defended herself.

"Playing beanbag toss?"

Dongfang Bai looked at the beanbag game next to him and was surprised that there was such a game in the mall. He had not been to the department store many times, so he was not very familiar with it.

"500 Neon Coins per try? You can get it for free by throwing ten beanbags and hitting ten plush toys."

The waiter then revealed a businessman's smile: 500 Neon Coins per attempt, and if it takes ten attempts to succeed, it would cost 5,000 Neon Coins. It's better to just buy one.

Dongfang Bai stepped forward and squeezed the sandbag. It weighed about the same as an apple, about 200 grams, while the rag doll that needed to be knocked down was about the size of a human head.

It would be difficult for an ordinary person to hit the target ten times with a relatively light sandbag, let alone knock down the rag doll ten times.
