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

"That guy, he really is there."

He casually tossed the trash bag aside and strode inside. There, he saw Gabriel, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, with her back to him, lying on the floor playing on her computer. She even turned her head to glance at Dongfang Bai.

"Big White, you're trespassing."

"You didn't answer the door when I knocked."

Upon hearing Gabriel's words, Dongfang Bai retorted, then suddenly opened the curtains, instantly illuminating the dark room with the brilliant sunlight. Gabriel immediately covered her eyes and rolled on the floor as if she were about to die.

"Ah!!! It's light!! Turn it off! I'm going blind! My eyes, my eyes!!"

Gabriel covered her eyes, unable to adapt to sunlight after being in the dark for so long. Only then did Dongfang Bai notice her attire.

Her outfit was quite simple, except for an oversized white shirt that she wore as a dress, and probably just a pair of panties, revealing her fair and slender legs.

"You can actually be corrupted by holy light? Are you a demon?"

No, this guy is an angel.

Rikka Takanashi, who had followed Dongfang Bai in, looked cautiously at Gabriel in front of her, while Gabriel had a look on her face as if to say, "Who is this guy?"

Could it be that my identity has been discovered?! This is bad, I have to silence them. But I'm not a demon...

Suddenly Gabriel realized that she wasn't a demon, but an angel.

"Big White, what are you doing all of a sudden? And who is this person?"

It took Gabriel a while to adjust to the sunlight. She squinted at Dongfang Bai with a sleepy expression. She hadn't even gone to the freshman orientation ceremony today; she had just stayed home and slept.

She's the kind of person who only goes to school sporadically, attending classes five days a week. She takes two days off and then just coasts through the other three. Every day she goes to school, she just sleeps and plays games, and her grades have already plummeted.

"I am Rikka Takanashi, the messenger of the Evil Eye!"

"The Evil King's True Eye?"

Gabriel was full of questions. She had been in the Heavenly Realm for so long and had never heard of anything like the "Evil King's True Eye". Could it be the nickname of some evil god?

Or is this girl actually another special being, just like herself, disguised as an ordinary human in reality?

"Never mind her, I just need your help. She lives next door and has lost her keys. Could you let her stay with you temporarily until her family comes back?"

"Ugh, this is too much trouble, I don't want to."

Gabriel showed a disgusted expression, but Dongfang Bai squatted down slightly and smiled at her, saying, "It's okay, just let her stay here. Her leg is injured, is that alright?"

"Okay, fine."

In the end, Gabriel was defeated by Dongfang Bai's tyranny and was forced to agree to let Takanashi Rikka stay at her house.

"Alright, Takanashi, you can stay at her house for now. Remember to have your sister treat your injury later."

Dongfang Bai poked Takanashi Rikka's forehead with two fingers, smiled, and was about to leave when Rikka suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't call me Takanashi, call me Rikka." The other person seemed to mind Dongfang Bai's way of addressing her, so she frowned and corrected him.

Dongfang Bai didn't mind and casually agreed before preparing to leave. However, Liu Hua didn't let go of his clothes and said with a slightly flushed face, "Bai, thank you for today!"

"You're welcome."

Hearing the other party thank him made Dongfang Bai feel quite comfortable. It was a nice feeling to be sincerely thanked like this, and it made him feel that his help had not been in vain.

As Dongfang Bai walked out of Gabriel's house, he yawned. It was finally over. Now he would go buy groceries for dinner and then head straight home.

"elder brother?!"

Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from downstairs. Dongfang Bai noticed that Doma Umaru downstairs was looking at him with a surprised expression, as if he had never expected Dongfang Bai to appear in this place.

"Umaru, what are you doing here...?"

Dongfang Bai raised an eyebrow. He remembered that the fastest route home from school didn't require walking this way; it would be a little longer. Given Xiaomai's lazy personality, it was surprising that she would deliberately take the long way.

"Hello, brother..."

Upon closer inspection, standing next to Umaru was Ebina Nana, a woman with wine-red hair. Her face was flushed, as if on fire, and she seemed to be a little shy when she saw Dongfang Bai.

"I just happened to drop Ebina off. But what are you doing here, brother?"

Umaru looked at Dongfang Bai strangely. Come to think of it, Gabriel's house was upstairs, right? Dongfang Bai was on the second floor now. Could it be that he came here specifically to find Gabriel?

“A friend of mine accidentally fell and injured her leg, so I just gave her a ride home on my way.”

Dongfang Bai came down from the second floor. At this moment, Xiaomai looked at Dongfang Bai suspiciously, and even moved closer to him, circling around him a few times, as if trying to figure something out, but she found nothing.

Of course he gained nothing; he didn't do anything at all.

"Ebina, are you in the same class as Umaru? I hope you can take care of her in the future, she's a little slow."

"Brother! I'm not stupid!"

Doma Umaru puffed out her cheeks in rebuttal. It was true that her academic performance had been the best among the freshmen since the beginning of the semester, but Dongfang Bai's "stupidity" referred to something else.

"No...no, Umaru is very smart, she's good at studying and sports, and she's beautiful too."

Nana Ebina waved her hand hastily, praising Umaru incessantly. This made Umaru Doma, who was standing to the side, feel a little embarrassed. Although she had grown up surrounded by praise from others, she felt different when facing familiar people.

"This guy..."

Dongfang Bai glanced at his lazy little sister. He didn't know who she learned it from, but in just one summer vacation she had become so lazy that she wanted him to feed her. She was almost a useless person.

and many more……

Suddenly realizing something, Dongfang Bai's lips twitched, and a black line appeared on his forehead. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had learned it from him, because he usually doted on his two younger sisters, and he was also lazy.

As a result, Umaru followed suit and now transforms into a "dried-up creature" as soon as she gets home, eating, drinking, and playing all night long, watching anime, and snacking non-stop.

This girl eats so many snacks and drinks so much cola, but she doesn't seem to gain weight. Is it because she has the body type of a beautiful girl...?

"Cough cough."

Xiaomai also glanced at Dongfang Bai, seemingly signaling him not to reveal her behavior at home. Of course, he wouldn't say anything; he was just expressing his feelings.

"Alright, Ebina, we'll be going now."

Umaru seemed to not want to stay any longer as it might expose her, so she immediately said goodbye to Ebina with a slightly stiff smile, and then quickly left with Higashikata.

"Waaah..."

As Ebina Nana watched Hikaru and Umaru Doma walk away, she touched her burning cheeks, seemingly too embarrassed, and immediately ran into her room.

On the other side...

"Brother, the friend you sent back was a girl, right?"

"That's true, so what's wrong?"

"And if I'm not mistaken, she's a junior student, right?"

"...???"

Dongfang Bai was taken aback. When did Doma Umaru learn mind-reading without his knowledge? He even knew that he was taking a first-year high school girl home.

"Because I know most of my brother's friends, and my brother had been at school the whole time, and suddenly said he had something to do and had to leave, I guessed it must be someone from school. Since I know all of my brother's friends at school, I ruled out their possibility. There's only one answer left: the girl my brother recently met!"

Umaru seemed to push up her non-existent glasses, her beautiful brown pupils radiating a wise light, as if she saw through everything. Even Dongfang Bai wanted to praise her reasoning ability.

"~ Not bad, when did you become so smart?"

"Hehe, thank goodness... Wait! That makes it sound like I wasn't smart before!"

Xiaomai, who was shyly scratching her head and giggling because of Dongfang Bai's praise, suddenly realized what was going on and got angry like a cat with its fur standing on end. She snorted and turned her head away.

An expression that says, "If you don't comfort me, I'll get angry and ignore you."

"..."

Dongfang Bai gave a helpless smile. He had seen this look many times during the summer vacation. It was normal for girls to have a little temper. Besides, Xiaomai was easy to coax and had a better personality than the average girl.

Basically, you only need to buy her things she likes to make her happy, especially snacks, games, and comics, which will make her mood level rise instantly, just like taking a plane ride.

"By the way, Umaru, I'm going to buy ingredients for dinner later. What would you like to eat?"

"Spicy steak!"

Upon hearing the word 'dinner,' Umaru's eyes lit up instantly, completely losing her previous anger. She looked at Dongfang Bai with a happy expression, and Dongfang Bai smiled and replied, "No problem."

"Then I'll go with my brother! As a reward, you have to play games with me when we get back!"

"Don't stay up too late, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Dongfang Bai grumbled, then couldn't help but smile again. So much already on the first day of school; what would he do later?

"Qian Dou, how many days are left?"

Dongfang Bai frowned as he looked at the swimming pool below. Since the end of summer vacation, the total number of visitors to Gancheng Radiant Amusement Park had only reached 550,000, which was still 50,000 short of the target.

The number 50,000 is simply an astronomical figure. You should know that Gancheng initially had less than a thousand people entering each day, and even on holidays, it was impossible to exceed two thousand people. It was not until Dongfang Bai became the general manager that things began to change.

"There are... three days left."

Sento Isuzu frowned, her tone somewhat somber. With only three days left, gathering 50,000 people was proving extremely difficult, requiring an average of nearly 20,000 people per day.

Ten thousand people, that's several times the usual number.

"Dongfang, you've already done a great job. Even if you didn't reach the target, it's not your fault. After all, the target number was suddenly increased..."

"It's alright."

Dongfang Bai's eyes were somewhat cold. The other party had originally set a bottom line of 500,000 visitors, and if that number was not reached, the amusement park would be closed. However, since Dongfang Bai became the manager, the number of visitors to the amusement park has increased significantly.

This is a very obvious upward curve. Even a discerning person can see that the originally desolate and empty amusement park has gradually become lively and vibrant. It was originally expected to reach 713 visitors by the end of the summer vacation.

It seems that the capitalists who proposed closing the amusement park also noticed this, so they immediately came up with a strategy: requiring the amusement park to reach 600,000 visitors before it would be considered closed.

Six hundred thousand people, a full one hundred thousand more visitors, was a heavy blow to all employees. No matter how hard they tried, they could only reach 550,000 people by the end of the summer vacation.

There are still 50,000 people left, and they need to reach that number within three days...
