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

Dongfang Bai praised Kafuu Chino lavishly, and Chino, pleased with the compliment, squinted her eyes. Dongfang Bai then ruffled Chino's hair and suddenly said, "So fluffy..."

Although the voice was very soft, it was still heard by Chino, whose ears are quite sharp, and her expression immediately changed.

Whizzing……

Then, Chino disappeared with the speed of a gust of wind, so fast that Dongfang Bai was stunned. What was wrong with this child? How could she suddenly...?

"What's wrong with Chino-chan?"

Even Ayase Aragaki, who was standing nearby, noticed what was happening, because Chino was running away so fast that it was hard not to notice her.

"I don't know either. She just suddenly ran away. I just patted her head..."

Dongfang Bai was also completely bewildered. He was just doing what he usually did, giving Chino a pat on the head was perfectly normal.

Chapter Fifteen: Patting Someone's Head Will Make You Shorter [Please Subscribe Automatically]

The two of them have a good relationship. Even with Chino's shy personality, patting her head should be no problem for her. Why is she acting so strangely today? She patted her head the same way when she first arrived...

"Hmm... Could it be because of something you just said?"

Ayase Aragaki pondered, "When Higashikata patted my head just now, Chino Kafuu seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. Why did she suddenly change her attitude? There must be something wrong."

Since the problem wasn't with touching her head, it's highly likely that something Dongfang Bai just said caused her to change her attitude so drastically.

"I think I just said 'fluffy' because Chino's hair is very soft..."

Dongfang Bai recalled that he had involuntarily said something just now. Could it be that this sentence made Zhi Nai unhappy?

"I think I understand the '650' a little better now."

Ayase Aragaki smiled awkwardly, but Dongfang Bai was still completely confused. What was it? He had no idea.

Meanwhile, at this moment, Chino Kafuu...

"Fluffy, fluffy..."

With a terrified expression, Chino walked to the weighing scale at the back of the staff break room. She walked up to it shakily, and even took off her coat, seemingly to lighten the weight.

Chino Kafuu kept muttering the phrase "fluffy, fluffy," seemingly very concerned about it, her petite body trembling as she stood on the scale.

She watched as the scale began to sway wildly due to the sudden weight, and she immediately covered her eyes with her hands, too afraid to see what it was looking like.

"!!!"

Chino's face turned pale instantly. She had gained several tens of grams compared to before. Although it was only a very small difference, it was still quite significant for a girl.

"I've gained weight...I've gained weight..."

Chino didn't know what to do, so she started spinning in circles. The Angora rabbit on her head spun along with her, its fluff floating in the air...

"Does it look that obvious?"

Chino found a mirror nearby and started looking at her face. She seemed to look no different from before, but because of what had just happened, she had a psychological effect and felt that she had gained weight.

No wonder my brother said he was fluffy...

Chino is very concerned about her height and figure. Although she has heard that touching someone's head will make her grow taller, she did not refuse when Dongfang Bai touched her head.

……

"Chino hasn't come out yet."

Dongfang Bai looked at the staff room with some concern, which made Ayase Aragaki in front of him start to laugh. Dongfang Bai really looked like an old father worried about his daughter.

"Why don't you go in and check on her, brother?"

Upon hearing Ayase Aragaki's suggestion, Dongfang Bai nodded. As the manager of the store, he naturally knew where the staff break room was, so he quickly walked over.

Click! The moment the door opened, Chino was also standing in the doorway.

"elder brother?"

Upon seeing Dongfang Bai, Zhi Nai was visibly startled and took two steps back. She then lowered her head slightly, seemingly not wanting Dongfang Bai to stare at her face.

Chino, were you serious about taking two steps back...?

"Chino, have you misunderstood something? When I said Chino's hair was fluffy, I actually meant that her hair is very soft and feels nice to touch!"

Dongfang Bai immediately began to explain, because it would be bad if Zhi Nai really misunderstood if he didn't explain clearly at this time.

"……Really?"

Chino raised her head slightly, her eyes seemed a little different. Dongfang Bai smiled, patted her head, and then spoke again.

"Yes, Chino is so cute, she's not fat at all! And Chino's hair smells amazing!"

He regretted it the moment he said those words.

That's absolutely a criminal declaration! What was he thinking? How could he say something like that? If someone heard it, it would be really bad!

"Um……"

Chino lowered her head shyly, but then slowly avoided Dongfang Bai's patting of her head. With a serious expression, she looked at him and said, "Plucking your head will stunt your growth, so brother, please don't pat your head anymore..."

Upon hearing Chino's words, Dongfang Bai felt like his head was about to explode...

"No... if you don't touch it often, it's fine..."

Chino seemed to notice Dongfang Bai's somewhat disappointed mood, and in a moment of panic, she grabbed Dongfang Bai's hand and placed it on her head. Her flustered expression was just too cute.

"Um, are you guys done? The coffee's getting cold..."

While the scene was undeniably heartwarming, Ayase Aragaki cautiously reminded Haku and Chino from behind. At that moment, the shy Chino broke free and ran away...

"Has brother cleared up the misunderstanding with Chino?"

Watching Chino jog away, Ayase Aragaki asked curiously, and Hikaru smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "Chino just thought I said she'd gotten fat..."

"I see."

Ayase Aragaki had an "I knew it" expression. Few girls wouldn't care about their weight, especially a model like Ayase Aragaki, who is even more concerned about this aspect.

"Alright, we've finished our coffee. Let's go buy some light novels."

Dongfang Bai paid Zhina for the coffee. Zhina carefully accepted the money and gave Dongfang Bai change. Her serious expression made her look like a little adult.

"Huh?! Didn't you say I was going to treat you to coffee...?"

Ayase Aragaki was stunned when she saw that Higashikata had already paid. He had promised to thank him and treat him to coffee, but not only did he not ask her to treat him to 4.8, he also paid for her share.

I clearly said I didn't need to treat her to a meal, just coffee would be fine, but I didn't even get Ayase to treat me to coffee...

"Ah...then you can treat me next time."

Dongfang Bai blinked slightly and walked out of the store first, leaving Ayase Aragaki both anxious and helpless. She could only ponder in her heart how to repay this favor.

Actually, Dongfang Bai did it on purpose. Even though the other party thanked him for the call, it still felt too awkward for a girl younger than him to treat him to food. He wasn't the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others.

After helping Ayase Aragaki choose a light novel written by Nayuta Kana, Dongfang Bai went home and began preparing for his date with Eriri on Saturday...

Chapter Sixteen: Is Black Tea Alright? [Please Subscribe Automatically]

Saturday. The weather was unusually hot today, which means summer is almost here. If summer comes, it means summer vacation is just around the corner. Before summer vacation, there will be a final exam and a school festival.

Perhaps it's the heavens helping out, the weather is always great on Dongfang Bai's dates. The last time he went on a date with Yamada Elf, the weather was sunny, and today there's not a single cloud or fog.

"Fairy, why do you look like that...?"

Dongfang Bai had finished dressing and was beginning to prepare for the door, while Yamada Fairy sat on the sofa in his house and sighed softly.

Today is my turn to go on a date with Eriri.

Yamada Elf didn't know what to think, so she could only prop her chin up with one hand and idly flip through the morning TV programs. Her mood was as complicated as the happiness she had felt when she went on a date with Dongfang Bai.

This guy actually dares to date a girl every week!

Today is an important date, and he can't be late. Besides, he promised Eriri he would pick her up from her house, so he has to leave early.

"Then I'm leaving."

04 "Good luck, have a safe journey."

Yamada Fairy waved her hand helplessly, like a devoted wife guarding her home. Only after Dongfang Bai closed the door did she plop down on the sofa and swing her legs around in boredom.

Eriri is so cute, what if that idiot Dongfang Bai gets smitten with her?

Yamada Elf suddenly realized this, and her expression changed slightly, but she quickly relaxed. She thought about it carefully and realized that even when Dongfang Bai was on a date with such a cute girl like her, he was like this, let alone that idiot Eriri.

Although Yamada Elf is also a shy and tsundere, compared to that ultimate tsundere Eriri, she at least knows how to take the initiative to attack Dongfang Bai, even though her attacks are completely unable to break through his defenses.

Yamada Fairy spent a whole day trying to break through Dongfang Bai's armor... How could Eriri, that stubborn tsundere, possibly succeed?

……

As Dongfang Bai walked along the road, the thought of going to Eriri's house to find her made him feel quite conflicted, because Eriri's mother, Sawamura Sayuri, was most likely home as well.

If he could, Dongfang Bai really didn't want to see Ying Lili's mother; she was just too overly enthusiastic.

"I hope Eriri will have a good time on her date today."

As Dongfang Bai pondered, a small white dog suddenly ran past him at great speed, but stopped abruptly when it reached him.

"Ah, Little White?"

Since this guy is all white, we just call him by this simple name. Dongfang Bai and Xiaobai have a very good relationship. Occasionally, when he meets him, he will give him some snacks or something.

However, this dog is very strange. It is a dog, yet it can eat pineapple buns and even drink milk without any problems. Does this mean that there is no logic in this world?

Sure enough, the dog that dared to steal the devil's pineapple bun is no ordinary creature.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Xiao Bai seemed to want to say something, and called out repeatedly. Dongfang Bai was taken aback, and then nodded.

"You mean you're going to find Satania and steal her pineapple bun because a big white-haired woman told you that if you do it, she'll give you milk? So you're asking me where Satania is?"
