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

"Sagiri, you're here! Come and have a seat."

Dongfang Bai smiled and waved to Shawu, signaling her not to be afraid and to sit down. The petite Shawu hesitated for a second, but still came over and sat on Dongfang Bai's lap.

Everyone: ? ? ?

"Sagiri, what's going on?"

Dongfang Bai was completely dumbfounded. The shy Sagiri actually chose to sit on Dongfang Bai's left leg, because he had Umaru sitting on his left and Fairy on his right, sandwiched between two blonde beauties.

When Sagiri saw that there was no seat next to Dongfang Bai, she thought that she couldn't let the fairy and Xiaomai have it so easily, so she impulsively sat on Dongfang Bai's lap.

"Eh...Eh?!"

Yamada Elf was shocked. Sagiri, who was usually extremely shy, sat directly on Dongfang Bai's lap without saying a word. This bold behavior was completely unlike Sagiri.

This is a completely different person!

"~How cunning! I want one too!"

Umaru puffed out her cheeks slightly. She hadn't reacted yet, but once she did, she immediately became like a jealous person who had overturned a jar. Since Sagiri was sitting on Higashikata's left leg, then I, Umaru, would sit on his right leg!

"Hey……"

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes at the two of them, who sat on either side like two gatekeepers, making it impossible for him to see the TV in front of him. He still couldn't understand why Sagiri would suddenly become so bold. Could it be that wearing the 'Eromanga' mask gave her some special advantage?

"Damn it, you can't have it all to yourself..."

The fairy gritted her teeth. Since both her legs were already occupied, she decided to perch on Dongfang Bai's head to watch. She stood behind the sofa and wrapped her two slender, fair arms around Dongfang Bai's neck.

"..."

Gabriel, standing to the side, didn't seem to have any intention of getting involved (Zhao Dehao). Instead, she ate snacks and drank cola by herself, seemingly completely unaware of what had just happened.

"You should all stop now."

Feeling that he was covered in things, Dongfang Bai revealed a kind smile. His tone was obviously a bit serious. All three of them coughed, and the two obediently got off him, then sat down in a row like primary school students.

In the end, the arrangement was that Dongfang Bai sat on the sofa in the middle, while Sagiri and Umaru sat on the sofa to the left, and Gabriel and Fairy sat on the sofa to the right. This way, there shouldn't be any arguments.

"Ah, the animation has started..."

The fairy suddenly spoke, and as soon as she finished speaking, the television screen in front of her, which had been playing commercials, switched to playing the opening animation of the Fate anime. The scene began in a desert filled with various weapons.

Chapter 97 Dengeki Bunko's Favorite Son?! [Please Subscribe Automatically]

"This……"

Yamada Fairy's beautiful eyes widened. This was too exaggerated! Although she had heard from Dongfang Bai that this animation cost a lot of money and was produced by a well-known and excellent animation company in the industry.

They had already guessed the quality, but they didn't expect it to be this high. Just the opening animation of the OP shows that the budget was burning.

Dongfang Bai's lips curled up. He had already watched the first episode of the anime in the test room a long time ago. The quality was absolutely top-notch, from the opening to the ending.

To put it simply, "the mountains, the water, and the funding are so impressive that you can almost see the banknotes flying around."

"Waaah..."

Sagiri made a sound that was hard to understand. Her bright blue eyes were wide open, as if she didn't want to miss a single second of the anime. The feeling of seeing the characters she had drawn come to life was simply unparalleled.

I don't know when, but Eromanga's mask had been removed, revealing her fair and lovely little face as she stared at the television, as if the mask was interfering with her viewing of the animation.

The animated Rin Tohsaka, Artoria, and others in the scene are like Sagiri's children, all of whom she drew herself. Now that they can move and talk, the impact on her is no less than the joy of a child learning to walk.

"How was it, Sagiri? Did I not disappoint you?"

"Um!!"

Sagiri grinned, her face flushed, and she showed a very excited smile. However, after realizing what she had done, she lowered her head shyly.

"Good heavens, are you Dengeki Bunko's favorite son?! Why isn't my animation production that good...?!"

Yamada Elf looked at the great anime and couldn't help but feel envious and a little resentful. Although she knew the reason, Dongfang Bai, the super popular new writer, had sold ten million copies of Fate in just six months since his debut.

He completely crushed Yamada Elf, leaving her feeling quite frustrated. However, she wasn't the type to get easily discouraged, and after a few days she recovered and continued playing games with Dongfang Bai every day.

Click, click, click.

That's the sound of potato chips being chewed, very crisp. The source of the sound is naturally Umaru. Her expression is quite serious. She's holding a bag of potato chips in her hand, and there's a large bottle of cola on her left.

Umaru didn't say a word, but just ate potato chips while watching the anime intently. Unconsciously, her body seemed to shrink again, exuding a lazy aura, and she would occasionally pick up a can of cola and take a big gulp.

"The online discussions seem to be quite intense."

Gabriel didn't seem to care. Although she occasionally read light novels, she mainly played games. She was just surprised by the quality of this anime.

"Let me see."

Dongfang Bai leaned closer to look at Gabriel's phone. Since leaning closer meant their bodies would be close, Gabriel blushed slightly when she felt his approach, and then moved her phone closer to him.

Dongfang Bai was naturally unaware of Gabriel's changes; his attention was entirely focused on the discussions on the forum. He was somewhat surprised by the crazy number of comments and posts that had been flooding in since the anime started airing.

Am I really that popular?

Upon closer inspection, even Twitter was flooded with the comments. Dongfang Bai specifically selected a few of the more popular ones to read and couldn't help but smile.

Holy crap, awesome!

[This quality is top-notch in the industry! Dengeki Bunko is really trying to revive Yakumo's career with this big investment, isn't they?]

[Seeing the adorable Illya in the opening animation made my stomach start hurting again...]

[I finally managed to forget you, don't make me think of you again!!]

These comments received an unusually large number of likes, especially the comment on the first floor. He was the one who posted "Holy crap" before and became a top comment. And this time, it's him again who's trending.

And does he really only know how to say "Holy crap" and nothing else? Besides that, there are quite a lot of posts, most of which revolve around various aspects of Fate, and the discussion about the voice actors is also quite heated.

[The voice actor lineup this time is pretty impressive. And speaking of Gilgamesh, it's actually Yakumo himself playing the role?! That old bastard can even do voice acting?!]

[Saber's voice is 'Aoyama Nanami'? I've never heard of her before. Is she a newcomer? It seems Saber won't appear in the first episode, so I'm looking forward to her performance later on. I hope she won't disappoint with such an important role.]

"Hey, I remember the voice actress was Shiro, right? Who is this Aoyama Nanami?"

Yamada Elf glanced curiously at the voice actor list for the anime. The first one listed was Yakumo Shiro, who voiced Gilgamesh, using the pen name 'Yakumo Shiro'. The second one was Aoyama Nanami, who voiced Saber.

"I think he's a very good kid. Although he's still young, he's very talented and has good skills. Most importantly, he's very hardworking and has a good attitude."

"Hey, the way you're talking and the lines you're using sound just like those older women at school..."

"puff……"

Hearing Yamada Elf's吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or witty remarks), Doma Umaru couldn't help but burst out laughing. The吐槽 was so spot-on, so vivid and expressive, that Doma Umaru's face turned bright red, but she still couldn't hold back her laughter.

"She's a girl, right? She must be quite cute."

Sagiri spoke softly, slightly raising her head to glance at Dongfang Bai. This silver-haired girl, mixed in with a group of blond-haired people, stared at Dongfang Bai as if she had seen through the truth.

"..."

"Why are you silent? So Sagiri was right after all?!"

Seeing Dongfang Bai's stunned expression, Yamada Elf blurted out without any politeness, "This guy probably only made her a voice actress because she's cute, or is there some kind of 'pillow talk' involved?!"

"Idiot, her review was done by me, the editor, and the animation director. How could there be any backdoor dealing?"

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes and retorted, but he secretly added in his mind that if he hadn't recommended Aoyama Nanami back then, she probably wouldn't have even had the chance to audition again.

"Eh~"

Even Gabriel joined in this time, giving him a suspicious look. Why was this guy getting involved when he had nothing better to do?

The five of them were playing around in the living room, and before they knew it, a day had passed...

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Two Great Demons? [Please Subscribe Automatically]

A few days later, Doma Umi, who had been prepared in advance, appeared at the entrance of the arcade near his home, wearing his familiar UMR-style outfit: brown shorts, a red zip-up jacket, a black shirt, and a red and dark red hat.

This is what Xiaoma was dressed like when Dongfang Bai first met her at the arcade. Xiaoma's image at school was always that of a super invincible beautiful girl, and she was rumored to be someone who didn't know how to play games.

Worried about being recognized and having her image ruined, Umaru decided to disguise herself and wore a black mask that covered the upper half of her face.

"Brother~ Hurry up, hurry up~"

Xiaomai happily spun around in circles. She had been looking forward to it since yesterday because it was a rare opportunity to participate in a game competition with Dongfang Bai. She was extremely happy.

"Do you really need to dress so conservatively?"

Wearing shorts, Umaru's fair, long legs were covered with long black stockings. Not only that, her bright and beautiful long golden hair was also tied up and tucked into her hat.

She now looks completely different from the invincible young lady image she presented to outsiders. She has a unique charm and is more like a girl next door.

"Of course, it wouldn't be good if someone I know found out."

Xiaomai snapped out of her daze, stuck her tongue out at Dongfang Bai, and put the blue hat she was holding on Dongfang Bai's head. It seemed to be the same style as the red one on her head, except that one was blue and the other was red.

"This looks a bit like matching couple outfits..."

Xiaomai murmured to herself. Because she was wearing a mask and her face was covered by a hat, it was difficult to see her shy, blushing cheeks, so Dongfang Bai naturally didn't notice.

"Really..."

Dongfang Bai straightened his hat. He had only dressed casually today, simply pulling his bangs back and wearing black trousers and a dark blue jacket.

To be honest, he still had a pretty strong impression of meeting Kirisu Mafuyu at this arcade before, so it was better to be careful.

"With my brother and me competing together this time, it'll be a piece of cake!"

With a confident expression on her face, Xiaomai clenched her little fists, while Dongfang Bai, with a dark face, was suddenly pulled into the arcade by her. You should know that the competition has not yet started, so the two of them came early.

"By the way, brother, what name are you planning to use for the competition later? I'll use UMR for Umaru."

“UMR? Oh, that's the initials of your name…”

When Higashikata heard Doma's question, she was taken aback. There were three small badges on her hat, with the letters UMR written on them. These three letters are the abbreviation of her name 'Umaru'.

Others may not know this name, but people who frequently play at this arcade have definitely heard of it. UMR is the arcade's number 001.
