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

Dongfang Bai picked one out and handed it to Yukino Yukinoshita, leaving her completely puzzled and not understanding what Dongfang Bai wanted to do.

"Since you don't know what her interests are, why don't you try it on and then put yourself in her shoes?"

"I think your friend is probably the lively and outgoing type, right? Then this one should be nice."

Dongfang Bai's words made Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes light up. It was indeed worth a try. So she nodded to Dongfang Bai, picked up the clothes, and went into the fitting room, leaving Dongfang Bai alone outside.

To be honest, waiting for the girl to change clothes is quite boring or a little bit exciting. Dongfang Bai just leaned against the wall and looked ahead.

This store seems to be quite trendy, so I think a lot of young girls would like it. He just picked out two items that looked pretty good.

Ok?

Dongfang Bai suddenly noticed a young girl walking in. Although her expression was subtle, her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.

Normally, Dongfang Bai wouldn't pay attention to these things, but the other person was someone he had met before, and although he had only met him once, the impression was very deep.

"Ok?"

Ayase Shinji also saw Dongfang Bai. She was slightly taken aback, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally decided to walk over.

No way...she's here?

Dongfang Bai felt a chill run down his spine. This girl who had a falling out with Kirino Kousaka was actually walking towards him. Could she have recognized him?!

"Excuse me, is your brother Kirino's friend?"

"Ah, are you Miss Shinheng?"

Dongfang Bai felt a headache coming on; he had never expected the other party to actually come up and strike up a conversation.

"Yes, actually I haven't been in contact with Kirino for over a week, so I wanted to ask you why she likes that kind of thing."

Ayase Shintsune's tone was very gentle, quite different from when she last met Higashikata. It seemed she was also feeling down because she hadn't contacted Kirino Kousaka for a week.

The two of them seemed to be very good friends. It must be very upsetting for anyone to break off a friendship like this, especially since it was clear from Dongfang Bai's last encounter that Xinheng valued Kousaka Kirino very much.

"It's just a personal hobby. I'm not that close to Gao Ban, but I know she really cherishes you as a friend."

"Her interests...make it impossible for me to reconcile with her, and she keeps lying and refusing to tell me the truth."

It's clear that Ayase Shinji hates liars, and she also thinks that Kirino Kousaka's interests are too 'dirty,' so she really can't go looking for Kirino anymore.

Ayase Shinji doesn't understand otaku culture, but she strongly dislikes, hates, and even despises it, while Kirino is the kind of person who would rather die than give up being an otaku.

These two are such a hassle.

Dongfang Baitou started to ache. How could things be so troublesome? He even wanted to find a chance to slip away.

Ayase Shintsune's aversion and fear likely stems from her lack of understanding of otaku culture, her strict family background, and her perception of otaku as being sinful on the Japanese internet.

"Miss Shin'uga doesn't really know much about otaku, does she?"

"Otaku are people who stay at home and sponge off their parents, wasting their lives. Moreover, many criminals are otaku, and news reports have shown that they are potential criminals."

Ayase's answer was just the general public's view of otaku as a group, but in reality, she only saw the surface and did not delve deeper, nor did she want to.

Dongfang Bai sighed slightly. He could see that Ayase Shin'uga was deeply influenced by the news and her family, so she had an extremely negative attitude towards otaku. Although it would be difficult to persuade her, it was not without hope.

Dongfang Bai originally didn't intend to help Ayase Shin'en correct any misunderstandings, because it would be too troublesome. However, her misunderstanding of otaku made him inexplicably uncomfortable. After all, whether it was himself, his sister, or his friends, they were all basically otaku.

But they are all very kind and good people. Even he would be a little angry if Ayase Shinji labeled them as "criminal pre-existing individuals".

"Have you really gone to understand it thoroughly? Yes, there may be some pests, but you can't condemn the whole group just because of a few people. Just like there are good people and bad people in society, not all otaku are bad people."

"But otaku have the highest crime rate, it's been reported on TV, how do you explain that?"

Dongfang Bai smiled slightly, took out his phone from his pocket, and opened a news report.

The big headline above is about otaku crimes, but that's only part of it. Some cases just happen to involve an otaku, and the facts are exaggerated by the media, leading to the label of 'otaku is evil'.

"……I see."

Shinjiro Ayase frowned as she looked through the various reports on Dongfang Bai's phone. Just as Dongfang Bai had said, there were indeed many misunderstandings.

It's important to know that the media will do anything to attract attention and generate traffic.

"But I still can't agree with Kirino's interests...! I think those kinds of books are just too dirty."

Ayase returned Dongfang Bai's phone to him. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head. Although she knew that otaku weren't as evil as she had imagined, she still couldn't accept Kirino...

After all, Kirino bought so many doujinshi, but it was Ayase Shinji who saw a few of the more unusual ones, so naturally there was a lot of misunderstanding.

That perfect girl, who excels in everything, from academics to sports, and is friendly and lively, actually has this kind of interest.

"Kirino, she should be a perfect person! She shouldn't be like this..."

"There is no such thing as a perfect person in the world! Everyone has a side that no one knows about. What gives you the right to demand that others live according to your requirements?"

Dongfang Bai frowned slightly. Why was her thinking so naive? That's why he couldn't help but scold her, which made her suddenly wake up.

"You should have a good talk with her later. I think she must value you a lot, otherwise she wouldn't have hidden her interest to avoid hurting you."

Dongfang Bai also felt that he might have spoken a bit too harshly, after all, the other party was only a fifteen-year-old girl, so his tone became gentler afterwards.

"……Thanks."

Ayase Shinji bowed politely to Higashikata, then turned to leave. Her movements seemed somewhat anxious, as if she wanted to talk to Kirino as soon as possible.

"Phew, the trouble is finally over."

Dongfang Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching her leave the store. Explaining things to a girl with this kind of personality was really tiring. Luckily, he was good with words and managed to persuade her.

"that……"

As soon as Ayase Shinji left the store, she rushed back anxiously and walked quickly toward Dongfang Bai, who was taken aback.

What is this...? Could it be that she has something else she wants to ask? Dongfang Bai suddenly felt like he had gotten himself into trouble.

Although she was very annoyed by the other person's statement that otaku are all potential criminals, which is why she argued with her, she didn't know how long she would have to ask if the other person still had any questions. By now, Yukino should have changed her clothes.

"I'd been forgetting, thank you so much! May I ask your name, brother?"

This child changed his mind so quickly, he actually started calling me "brother" now. Dongfang Bai's lips twitched, and he finally sighed and said his name.

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ········

"Bai, my name is Dongfang Bai."

"Dongfang Bai...? I understand. I'll thank you properly later. Could we exchange contact information...?"

Ayase Shinji seemed unusually nervous, as it was the first time she had ever asked a boy for his contact information. Dongfang Bai, upon hearing that it was just something like that, breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh, she just wanted my contact information. I thought she was going to bombard me with all sorts of questions.

After Dongfang Bai gave her the phone number, she thanked him again before leaving, and Dongfang Bai smiled slightly.

This child is quite polite; he seems like a good kid, but he has a lot of problems...

...... .. 0

"Sorry to keep you waiting, how is it...?"

The fitting room behind them was suddenly opened, and Yukino Yukinoshita, wearing a long dress, appeared in front of Dongfang Bai, making his eyes light up slightly.

The blue dress, which covered about thighs, seemed to be something Yukino rarely wore, as she appeared somewhat shy.

Yukino Yukinoshita looks good in anything. It seems that as long as you're good-looking, you'll look good in anything.

"It's quite cute."

"I wasn't asking how I look in it..."

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly. She had just spent a long time looking in the mirror and realized that her friend's clothes didn't suit her very well. She would have to look at other clothes.

"What were you saying outside just now? You sounded a bit loud."

"No, I just ran into an acquaintance and we chatted for a bit."

Dongfang Bai tried to cover it up, but decided it was best not to let Yukino know that Ayase Shinji had just come over.

"Well... okay, let's go take another look over there. It's really hard to choose clothes."

Yukino Yukinoshita went back into the fitting room and changed out of the clothes, although she still bought them when she left the store...

Chapter 70 Touhou Project [Please subscribe automatically]

On Sunday morning, Dongfang Bai got out of bed looking sleepy. He had accompanied Yukino Yukinoshita to shop through most of the department store yesterday, and he was feeling a bit tired, but she didn't feel anything.

Could it be that, contrary to her appearance, she is actually quite physically strong?

Finally, after much deliberation, Hikaru and Yukino Yukinoshita decided to buy a pink apron as a gift. It had a bone pattern on it, which was quite cute.

Although when they finally came out, Yukino Yukinoshita was holding a huge cat plushie and had some odds and ends on her, it seemed like the two of them had really forgotten their purpose while wandering around.

Because he spent yesterday searching around and then spent the night thinking about whether to write a new piece, he was unusually tired today and naturally slept very soundly.

Buzz "620" buzz...

"...?"

Dongfang Bai noticed his phone vibrating incessantly; it was his alarm clock. Upon closer inspection, he realized he had set five alarms. That was outrageous! Why did he set so many alarms? Was something happening today?

Wait a minute, upon closer inspection, isn't today the day of the training camp?!

Realizing this, Dongfang Bai immediately sat up, instantly waking up. He had almost forgotten about this important matter. No wonder he set five alarms last night to prevent himself from not being able to get up.

"Won't we be late?"

Dongfang Bai glanced at the time. Fortunately, it wasn't too urgent. It was only seven o'clock, and the training camp assembly time was at nine o'clock in the morning. There were still two hours to prepare, which was more than enough time.
