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

"A textbook example of a haughty and arrogant reaction."

"...! I'm not being arrogant, and I don't know how to talk..."

Eriri turned her face away, completely refusing to look in Dongfang Bai's direction. However, the more she talked, the softer her voice became. Even Dongfang Bai was starting to lose interest in teasing her, even though it was quite amusing.

So this is what it feels like when Kasumigaoka-senpai bullies Eriri. I've learned something new.

"Sorry to keep you waiting~ Your omelet rice is here."

A long-haired maid walked over with a smile, placing two plates of steaming hot omelet rice in front of Higashikata Eriri, along with a bottle of ketchup.

"What words do you want me to write?"

The maid blinked in surprise. Eriri seemed to dislike the maid and said firmly, "I want to write 'Dongfang Bai' on this!"

The maid was stunned for a moment, and then wrote the three characters 'Dongfang Bai' on Eriri's omelet rice with ketchup. After writing it, Eriri regretted it, wondering what a shameful thing she had just done.

"Then I'll write Eriri."

Dongfang Bai was not to be outdone. He looked at Eriri with a smile and had the maid write down her name. The sight of the two of them made even the maid tease them.

"These two owners are really loving!"

"Huh!? Who, who's with this guy...!!"

Eriri's cheeks flushed red all the way to her ears. She actually said that she and Dongfang Bai were very affectionate. Did they really look like a couple? Although she said that, she was still a little happy.

"Oh, by the way, this is a special gift for couples who spend over 2000 Neon Coins."

The maid giggled and placed a cup of ice cream in front of Dongfang Bai and Eriri. This ice cream was indeed a 'couple' ice cream, as it had two plastic spoons, one blue and one red.

Isn't this clearly making them feed each other?!

"This...this..."

Eriri stammered incoherently, thinking how incredibly embarrassing it was that she and Dongfang Bai were supposed to feed each other. She felt like her brain was about to explode.

"It looks delicious, Eriri, would you like to try some?"

Dongfang Bai grabbed the blue spoon (650), scooped out a spoonful, and held it to Eriri's lips, leaving her momentarily stunned.

When did Bai become so good at flirting with girls?!

Actually, Dongfang Bai just wanted to tease Eriri. He thought that Eriri's shy and arrogant personality meant she definitely wouldn't eat it, so he just wanted to tease her and see her cute reaction.

But unexpectedly...

"Since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly give it a try."

Eriri slightly opened her mouth, revealing her sharp little tiger teeth. After hesitating for a moment, she still ate the ice cream in one bite, leaving Dongfang Bai, who was sitting opposite her, completely dumbfounded.

No way, is this really the tsundere Eriri? She actually accepted being fed?!

Eriri's mind was completely blank; she had no idea what she had just done. After realizing what had happened, she stood frozen in place for a long time.

Upon closer inspection, Dongfang Bai was actually smiling across from him. Was he teasing him?!

Eriri suddenly got angry, throwing all her shyness to the back of her mind. Without saying a word, she grabbed a red spoon, scooped up a spoonful of ice cream, and offered it to Dongfang Bai's mouth.

"Don't get me wrong, this is just returning it to you!!"

Dongfang Bai never expected that he would be fed play by someone one day. His feelings were very complicated. But since the other party had offered it to him, how could he not eat it?

Without hesitation, Dongfang Bai took a bite, and teased Eriri with a smile, saying, "The ice cream Eriri fed me tastes pretty good."

"Varied……"

Eriri only fed Dongfang Bai on a whim. If he hadn't said anything, it would have been fine, but as soon as he did, Eriri's sense of shame skyrocketed.

The two finished their ice cream in a wonderful atmosphere. Eriri immediately started eating her omelet rice, and she ate it very fiercely. The omelet rice had Dongfang Bai's name written on it, and Eriri took a big bite.

It was as if they wanted to bite Dongfang Bai to death.

"Cough cough..."

Eriri choked because she ate too fast, so Dongfang Bai immediately handed her a glass of juice, which she downed in one gulp without hesitation. He also patted her back for her.

"Phew, I almost thought I was going to suffocate."

Eriri let out a sigh of relief, and Dongfang Bai sat back down in his original seat, looking at her helplessly and saying, "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you."

Suddenly I feel like I'm raising a daughter...

Eriri coughed lightly, then tilted her head, glancing at Dongfang Bai out of the corner of her eye, and said with a slightly flushed face, "...Thank you."

"By the way, you have rice grains on your face."

Dongfang Bai smiled and reached out to remove the rice grains from the corner of Eriri's mouth. Eriri couldn't sit still any longer; her heart had been pounding like a motor ever since she started eating.

Although Eriri was so embarrassed she wanted to die, she was still in a good mood. At least she had definitely won against that Yamada Elf, feeding her, playing with her back, and even taking rice grains off her face.

Could Yamada Elf really do something so intimate?!

After a while, Dongfang Bai and Eriri finished their lunch and started their afternoon date. Because Eriri kept talking about gathering material, Dongfang Bai was dragged to a doujinshi store by her.

"Wow, there's so much stuff!"

Eriri looked around with great interest. All sorts of doujinshi and related merchandise were neatly arranged, a dazzling array that made her a little overwhelmed.

"This is my first time here too..."

Dongfang Bai casually picked up a small box next to him. It was a fan-made extension of 'Magical Girl Meruru', which seemed to be an anime that Kousaka Kirino really liked. No wonder he had seen her here before.

"Ah! It's Maschera."

Eriri seemed to have seen something that interested her. Dongfang Bai curiously leaned over to take a look. The comic book in Eriri's hand depicted a boy holding a mask and a woman dressed in black gothic clothing.

"Wait a moment……"

Dongfang Bai suddenly felt that this thing looked very familiar. It was the work that the black cat particularly liked, an anime that aired in the same season as Magical Girl Meruru.

However, the anime fans on both sides are very opposed because the two shows aired at the same time but had completely different themes. This is one of the reasons why Kuroneko and Kirino dislike each other's anime.

"It seems there's a second floor as well."

Besides being a doujinshi artist, Eriri Sawamura is also an absolute otaku at heart. She knows a thing or two about any work related to ACG, and she is also extremely passionate about Galgames.

"But I remember the second floor is for GalGames..."

Dongfang Bai narrowed his eyes. If he remembered correctly, the second floor should be selling 18+ series and some GalGame merchandise. Although he was very interested, he didn't really want to go up and take a look.

"Let's go, let's go!!"

Eriri's eyes shone as she smiled happily, revealing her little tiger teeth. She took Dongfang Bai's hand, forgetting her shyness for a moment, and couldn't wait to go up and see.

"Alright alright……"

Dongfang Bai felt quite complicated. It was his first time going on a date with a girl to the R18 area, and this feeling was beyond ordinary description.

As soon as she entered the second floor, Eriri looked around like a carefree child. Suddenly, her gaze locked onto one spot, and she stared at it intently.

"Ok?"

Dongfang Bai followed her gaze and saw a relatively old game in the GalGame section. It was a 'Love' series of shoujo games, featuring the protagonist's encounters with four male characters and many branching routes.

I think I played this game when I was little, and I even played it with Eriri back then...

"Oh, it's 'Ai-chan'. Eriri, would you like to go and see her?"

As Dongfang Bai began to speak, Eriri remained silent for two seconds before quickly walking over. She had a very deep affection for this work, as it could be said to be the beginning of her encounter with Dongfang Bai.

six years ago……

"~Boring..."

Ten-year-old Eriri stood in a small corner of this grand birthday party. Her parents told her that the main character of the party was a very impressive person, so they brought her along to attend.

However, Eriri wasn't interested, so she quietly waited in a corner until the banquet ended.

"Ok?"

Eriri saw a girl with long black hair, about her age, wearing a beautiful dress walk past her. The girl seemed to glance at her as well, and their eyes met.

"It's under the snow."

Eriri murmured to herself, "Wow, there are so many people at this banquet. Even the Yukinoshita family is here." Although she was still young, she understood some things.

"I really want to go back and play 'Xiao Ai'."

Eriri sighed. She was currently obsessed with the game, but she really had no choice but to be dragged to the banquet today.

Do you like 'Xiao Ai' too?

Suddenly, a voice reached Eriri's ears, causing her to involuntarily look to the side. A black-haired, black-eyed boy in an exquisite black dress was looking at her with a surprised expression, seemingly quite astonished.

"Yes, you like it too?!"

Eriri was overjoyed. She never expected to find someone with the same hobby as her in such a place. The joy of finding a kindred spirit was incomparable.

"What's your name? I'm Eriri Sawamura Spencer!"

"Dongfang, my name is Dongfang Bai."

"Thinking back on it, I even made a point of going to a corner of the banquet, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have run into them..."

Eriri murmured to herself, a slight upturn at the corner of her mouth. If she hadn't avoided the crowd and gone to a corner of the banquet, she probably wouldn't have run into Dongfang Bai, who had also run away to avoid trouble.

"What won't you encounter?"

Dongfang Bai's ears are incredibly sharp; he can hear quite a bit even when Eriri speaks very softly.

What a joke! He usually talks to Sagiri all the time. He dares to say that there aren't many people who can speak softer than Sagiri. He's long since mastered it.

"There's nothing there!! Don't get any strange misunderstandings!"
