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

In the end, he could only give a relatively objective answer. Eriri nodded with an expression of 'I understand'. The two wandered around Akihabara for a long time, and suddenly there were more people around noon.

"It seems like there are more people now..."

Eriri sensed that there were more and more people around her, making the hot weather feel even more stuffy. She couldn't help but wipe the fine sweat from her forehead.

"Hold on tight, don't let go, or you'll be swept away by the crowd."

Dongfang Bai spoke softly, then suddenly gripped Eriri's hand tightly. Eriri opened her mouth slightly, momentarily stunned, and could only passively let Dongfang Bai pull her along.

Although it was very hot, Eriri felt much cooler and more comfortable all over her body at this moment. Although her cheeks were still burning hot, they were not hot at all.

"I won't let go..."

Eriri subconsciously replied, but because there were too many people and it was very noisy, Dongfang Bai didn't seem to hear anything and just kept leading Eriri ahead.

Eriri watched his retreating figure, a faint smile gradually appearing on her face.

Chapter Twenty: Following Fumino Furuhashi [Please subscribe automatically]

"There are still quite a lot of people, and most of them are couples..."

Dongfang Bai looked around and saw that everyone was in pairs, both men and women. He hadn't expected there to be so many couples in Akihabara. Dongfang Bai and Eriri blended in perfectly without any sense of incongruity.

"Where do we go now?"

Eriri sought Dongfang Bai's opinion. Dongfang Bai pondered for a while, took out a map, and suddenly his eyes lit up slightly.

"There's a restaurant nearby, let's go grab a bite and avoid the peak hours."

"Ok!"

Eriri nodded happily, and then Dongfang Bai pulled her away in one go. With Dongfang Bai leading the way, even a large crowd could not stop the two of them.

"Ok?"

Just then, a girl with long blue hair and a white headband with the number "650" happened to pass by. She had come to check on the appliances because her desk lamp was broken.

Suddenly she paused, wondering if she had just seen Dongfang Bai. No, maybe she was mistaken because there were too many people.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot! Why did I even think of him?!"

Fumino Furuhashi slapped her fair cheeks hard, turning them red – this was what's called 'hardcore blushing'. And after thinking about it carefully, she realized that the person's back really did look incredibly like Dongfang Bai.

After thinking for a few seconds, Fumino Furuhashi decided to chase after her to take a look. However, she hadn't taken more than a few steps when she spotted a striking blonde girl with twin tails in the crowd.

"Sawamura-kun?"

Fumino Furuhashi was completely stunned. It was actually Eriri Sawamura Spencer! Why was she here? Wait a minute, even though there were many people, Fumino Furuhashi could still see that the other person seemed to be with someone...

Isn't this the person whose back looks exactly like Dongfang Bai's?!

Sawamura-kun is getting so close to that person, could it be that the person really is...?

Fumino Furuhashi considered this possibility, swallowed hard, and her intense curiosity led her to follow. However, after thinking it over, she decided not to just follow along.

"Boss! I'll take all of these: glasses, hat, and hair tie!"

There happened to be a clothing store nearby, so she rushed in without hesitation and bought a straw hat with a red ribbon, a pair of red non-prescription glasses, and tied her long hair up with a hair tie, letting it hang down in front of her chest.

"Oh... wait, miss, here's your change!"

Before the clothing store owner could even react, the other person threw him a ten-thousand-yuan bill. Before he could even give change, the person had vanished...

Fumino Furuhashi disguised herself incredibly quickly, as if she had practiced countless times. She then secretly followed Higashikata and Eriri, even trying to get around to the front to see them.

"Ok?"

Dongfang Bai suddenly turned around, and Fumino Kohashi swiftly pulled her head back, feeling her heart about to jump out of her chest. Dongfang Bai's senses were just too sharp.

"what happened?"

Eriri gave Dongfang Bai a strange look, while he merely frowned, sensing that someone was following him, though it could also be plainclothes guards sent by his family...

To be honest, Dongfang Bai was right.

At this moment, to Dongfang Bai's left, a pink-haired girl wearing a mask and black sunglasses, dressed very warmly despite the hot weather, moved very lightly, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far from Dongfang Bai.

"Is that person... Fumino Furuhashi?"

Yuno Gasai, that's the name of this pink-haired girl. She became an orphan for unknown reasons and was adopted by the Dongfang family, where she was trained in various skills and later became Dongfang Bai's bodyguard.

Although Dongfang Bai himself may not have much of an impression of her, she truly watched Dongfang Bai grow up.

Yuno Gasai took a small notebook out of her pocket, flipped it to a page with some information on it, and then nodded and put the notebook away.

The figure vanished from the spot in the next instant, but no one noticed.

"Phew, we almost got caught."

Fumino Furuhashi looked at Dongfang Bai from afar. Although she had known for a long time that his senses were very sharp, she did not expect them to be this sharp. However, the moment he turned his head, Fumino Furuhashi confirmed his identity.

This guy is Dongfang Bai, and he's on a date with Eriri...

"So it really is a date. Are they a couple?"

As Fumino Furuhashi pondered this, and then tried to catch up with Dongfang Bai, she was suddenly lightly tapped on the shoulder, startling her so much that she almost flew off her feet.

"Whoa?!?"

Fumino Furuhashi was completely stunned. She saw Megumi Kato, wearing a small round hat, standing behind her and looking at her. Although her face was expressionless, Fumino Furuhashi could roughly guess what she meant.

"Hui? What are you doing here..."

"It really is Fumino..."

Kato Megumi was just passing by when she suddenly saw Furuhashi Fumino crouching suspiciously by the alleyway, so she curiously walked over to take a look. Unexpectedly, the other woman didn't notice her approaching at all...

"What is Fumino doing here?"

Kato Megumi squatted down, while Furuhashi Fumino kept shaking her head, shaking it like a rattle-drum, her face full of panic.

She didn't want anyone to know she was following Dongfang Bai...

"Nothing, nothing, I was just passing by! Yeah!"

"Is that right?"

Seeing that Furuhashi Fumino didn't want to say much, Kato Megumi wisely refrained from pressing her for details. However, she still glanced in the direction Furuhashi Fumino had been observing, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy.

"It's over..."

Fumino Furuhashi realized that she had been distracted by Keiichi Kato and had completely lost track of them; Higashikata Haku and Eri Riri had vanished without a trace...

……

"We've arrived. This should be the store."

Dongfang Bai led Eriri to this restaurant, but his expression suddenly froze. Wasn't this a maid cafe? Although it was indeed a restaurant, the theme was maids.

Eriri gave Dongfang Bai a strange look. Dongfang Bai also picked up the map and looked at it. There was a large character on it that read "Moonlight Restaurant", but below it was a very small line that read "Maid Shop".

This is all Dongfang Bai's fault for not seeing it. Now his reputation for liking maid outfits is confirmed, and no matter how he tries to explain, it will be seen as sophistry. Besides, there aren't any other restaurants nearby, so this is the place to go...

[PS: Eriri is so cute, why can't she win?]

Chapter Twenty-One: Feeding Play [Please Subscribe Automatically]

Dongfang Bai has given up on himself...

He and Eriri sat by the window, each sitting opposite the other. Eriri picked up the menu, looking somewhat troubled. She rarely ate out and had no idea what to order.

What does Eriri like to eat?

"Anything is fine."

Eriri turned her head slightly. Personally, she didn't have any particular taste preferences, but she didn't dare to eat too many sweets for fear of gaining weight. She was petite and slender, and she usually controlled her food intake.

"Has Master decided what he wants?"

A black-haired, baby-faced young lady dressed in a maid outfit walked over with a professional smile and asked, "Then two servings of omelet rice, a glass of juice, a glass of cola (with ice in the cola), and two cakes will do."

Eriri looked at Dongfang Bai with a peculiar gaze. Did he really remember that she liked to drink cola? And even specifically requested ice? He remembered things from years ago so clearly…

"04, do you want to check out the doujinshi shop later?"

While the food was still out, Dongfang Bai chatted with Eriri. When he mentioned the doujinshi shop, Eriri's eyes lit up slightly; it seemed like a good option.

Do they sell doujinshi (fan-made comics) in Akihabara?

Eriri seemed quite interested. Dongfang Bai thought about it carefully. He only knew about the doujinshi shop when he accidentally saw it back then. He was even bumped into by Kousaka Kirino at the shop entrance...

"I think they also sell visual novel games..."

"A GalGame, huh?"

Eriri is an even bigger otaku than Touhou Haku. She has played all sorts of visual novels many times, especially one that she particularly likes. She even cries while playing it because of the story.

"Yes, our GalGame is still in production, and I'm going to participate in the voice actor audition tomorrow..."

Dongfang Bai smiled helplessly. The thought of having to go to the audition tomorrow gave him a headache. Eriri looked thoughtful, then couldn't help but say to Dongfang Bai, "Really? Good luck..."

"Go for it? Is Eriri trying to encourage me?"

Dongfang Bai smiled slightly, narrowing his eyes, and took another sip of juice. Instantly, Eriri's expression changed drastically, her face flushed red, and she cried out, "What are you saying?! Are you an idiot?"

Eriri's little tiger teeth were clearly visible. Dongfang Bai secretly smiled. This textbook example of tsundere was really cute. At this moment, his mischievous sense of humor came over him, and he continued to speak.

"Huh? But I clearly heard Eriri tell me to do my best."

"I didn't say that! Don't get any weird misunderstandings, hmph~"

Eriri gave a cute "humph," crossed her arms, and turned her head away. Dongfang Bai looked at her with a very subtle expression, feeling that he couldn't help but complain if he didn't.
