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

Dongfang Bai's lips twitched. To think that a simple face wash could wake Gabriel from her deep sleep—this squinty-eyed, silver-haired girl was terrifying!

"Honestly, I haven't had enough sleep at all."

Gabrielle's eyes are now covered with dark circles from staying up late. Her mental state is slightly better than before. When she first came to the classroom, she fell asleep as soon as she got home.

She was woken up after only about six hours of sleep, which made her feel quite uncomfortable, as she had been working on her computer for almost thirty hours without sleep.

As an angel, I'm naturally immune to the effects of a heavy liver, so feel free to work hard; I won't die anyway.

"Gabriel, have you forgotten what you promised me yesterday?"

Dongfang Bai squinted and bent down slightly to meet Gabriel's gaze as she lay half-reclined on the table. At this moment, the fallen angel girl suddenly realized the source of her in-game purchases!

She had finally managed to get Dongfang Bai, a big spender, to help her purchase rare items and equipment. If she missed this opportunity, she would definitely regret it to the core. She could never afford that piece of equipment with her living expenses.

"Oh no! I almost forgot!"

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Gabriel stood up abruptly, grabbed Dongfang Bai, and rushed out, leaving the other three girls standing there at a loss.

How can he run so fast? Wasn't this guy just a moment ago looking like he was in terrible shape, half-dead? And suddenly he's alive again? His mental state is even better than the energetic guys from the track and field team downstairs.

Sure enough, when it comes to spending money on in-game purchases, Gabriel's motivation skyrockets like a rollercoaster, faster than anyone can imagine.

"What's your rush? Do you even know which way to go?"

Dongfang Bai looked at her with annoyance. This girl was so eager to pull him outside, but she didn't even know where they were going.

"Ah...indeed."

The blonde girl, who took a while to realize what was happening, sighed and almost forgot that she had no idea where to go. She was only focused on quickly pulling Dongfang Bai out of the classroom.

"I brought you out this time to break the curse, so we can't be too conspicuous. It's lucky that Vinette and the others were your friends. How would we explain it to ordinary people?"

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as ordinary people don't see it."

Gabriel waved her hand dismissively, and before she could finish speaking, a familiar voice came from behind: "Brother?"

Dongfang Bai froze. In Toyosaki, there was only one person who could call him brother, and that was his own little sister, Umaru. Naturally, she could recognize Dongfang Bai's back from a distance.

Umaru is quite confident in her eyesight.

"Um……?"

Doma raised an eyebrow. Another blonde girl he'd never seen before. His brother was really good at flirting, and every girl he met was quite charming; none of them should be underestimated.

At this moment, Umaru is completely unaware that her best friend Nana Ebina is also a hidden 'love rival'.

"Umaru, are you planning to go home with Ebina now?"

At this point, Dongfang Bai definitely had to think of a way to change the subject. It was exactly what he feared; his younger sister had seen it. Although he wasn't an ordinary person, Xiaomai was just an ordinary human.

"Hmm, my brother and Gabriel are...?"

“You know she’s my employee, and we’re planning to go to Gancheng together.”

Dongfang Bai was telling the truth. Gabriel was indeed his employee, just from 'Rabbit House', and their destination was indeed Amagi.

What seemed like a casual remark was actually entirely the truth.

"Eh~"

Umaru's cute little nose twitched. She didn't seem to sense that her brother was lying, so she felt much relieved. She almost thought they were going home together.

However, we still can't be careless. We need to go back and have a serious talk with Sagiri about this.

"Bury my classmate!"

Just as Umaru was pondering something, a blue-haired girl moved quickly in this direction from a distance, spinning in circles. Yes, she was spinning in circles, and she looked very familiar.

Upon closer inspection, isn't this the blue-haired girl who made me cry when I used Tachibana Ukyo at the boxing tournament? I think her name was something like Tachibana something...?

The girl surnamed Tachibana who was beaten to tears by Tachibana Ukyo—what a coincidence! Even more coincidentally, she was also a student at this school. Dongfang Bai subconsciously turned his head away.

Oh no, she probably still remembers how I made her cry last time, right?! When I went on stage back then, I didn't wear a mask like Umaru; I went on stage completely bare-faced.

"Tachibana... Tachibana-kun?"

Umaru was clearly taken aback. Tachibana Sylphide was her classmate, and she was completely bewildered when she first met her in class, though she did recognize her.

She was the girl who cried because her brother was playing video games. I remember her quite well because she was a finalist in the tournament.

"Let's have a contest!! Let's race! I'm sure I'll win this time!"

Sylphyn was still wearing her familiar blue and white long dress with white knee-high socks. It was quite unique that she wasn't wearing a school uniform while everyone else was.

Although Toyonosaki has a free school spirit and doesn't restrict students' clothing much, Japanese people are used to wearing school uniforms from kindergarten onwards, so most people in Toyonosaki wear school uniforms.

Of course, Gabriel and Dongfang Bai on the side are quite unique; they wear whatever makes them comfortable.

"Um... that." Umaru didn't know how to answer her for a moment.

Although Sylphine is very cute, has a good personality, and seems to come from a wealthy family, she doesn't have any spoiled princess attitude at all. She's a very cute girl with an adorable verbal tic, often adding the interjection 'desuwa' to the end of her sentences.

She has always been number one in her class since childhood and is always the most outstanding. Now that she has met Umaru, she finds that she can never beat her, which leads her to regard Umaru as her rival and want to beat her.

From the moment school started, Umaru became the pinnacle of Toyonosaki's first-year students as the representative of the new students. She could easily take the lead in all aspects, including academics, sports, and so on.

This was quite a shock to Sylphyn, who had always considered herself the best. Umaru's excellence far exceeded her imagination, so she wanted to beat Umaru and prove that she was also excellent.

Of course, she might also simply want to be friends with Umaru.

"~What's wrong, Mai-kun?"

Seeing that Umaru's eyes were darting around, Sylphyn was a little puzzled. Suddenly, she realized that Umaru seemed to have been talking to someone else. Looking behind her, she immediately saw a familiar face.

"It's...it's you!?"

Sylphine's eyes widened, her beautiful, petal-like pupils narrowed slightly, and she stared intently at Dongfang Bai's face.

She remembered that face very clearly. She thought it was normal for her to have an evenly matched 'opponent' like Umaru, and there shouldn't be anyone who could completely overpower her.

This idea was shattered at the game (Zhao Mahao) tournament.

It was a complete and utter rout. Sylphyn had never lost so miserably in his life. He was treated like a baby and easily defeated by his opponent. What was most infuriating was that the guy had a calm expression throughout the whole thing, as if he hadn't exerted any effort at all.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears. After realizing she had cried, she felt even more ashamed and ran away, secretly making a vow in her heart.

One day, I will definitely beat that guy.

"What a coincidence! Are you a freshman this year? I'm Dongfang Bai, a second-year high school student. Last time you ran so fast I didn't even have time to say my name."

Dongfang Bai scratched his cheek awkwardly. He hadn't expected to run into the other person in a place like this. Gabriel, who was next to him, glanced at him and silently took out her game console.

She knew this matter would probably take a while to resolve.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Where exactly is the senior? [Please subscribe automatically]

"I'm Orange Hilfenford! I didn't expect you to be at this school too. Let's have a match! I definitely won't lose this time!!"

Sylphyn stood with one hand on her hip and her right finger pointing at Dongfang Bai, her expression serious and earnest. This time, she was determined to win back her previous defeat. Besides, it would be too embarrassing to cry in front of him, so she couldn't just let it go.

"Hey, I'm at least your senior, and besides, I don't want to compete with anything..."

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. What was going on with this sudden challenge to a duel? He was currently focused on figuring out how to get Gabriel out of Gan City, so he didn't have time to compete with the girl in front of him.

"They...they actually won't compete with me? Do they think I'm too weak?...How infuriating!"

Sylphyn said unwillingly, "So Dongfang Bai still thinks I'm too weak, so he doesn't bother to compete with me?"

"Umaru, could you please handle this for me? I need to get to Amagi... Ebina, thank you for accompanying Umaru home. I'll be going now."

Dongfang Bai tugged at Gabriel, who was still playing her game console. Gabriel was reluctant to be pulled away by Dongfang Bai and showed a very disgusted expression. Umaru could only smile awkwardly and say, "Okay, Onii-chan."

"Onii-chan?"

Upon hearing Umaru's voice, Sylphyn was stunned. Could it be that 743 Higashikata is Umaru's brother?! These two are actually siblings...

Sylphyn, who had always regarded Umaru as a rival and formidable opponent, was completely stunned at this moment. Umaru, who had always been superior to her in every aspect, actually had a brother who was the one who crushed her, Dongfang Bai.

These brother and sister are terrifying!

"I understand, does that mean I should beat Umaru first before challenging him? Oh, I see, I understand everything now...!"

At this moment, Sylphyn seemed to have misunderstood Dongfang Bai's meaning, so she said to Xiaomai very seriously, "In that case, Xiaomai, let's have a showdown!!"

"Eh!!"

Umaru was on the verge of tears. She was supposed to go home with Ebina, and she was planning to go home early to play games, but her brother had given her this trouble.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Bai had already dragged Gabriel away and disappeared without a trace, moving at an absurdly fast speed, as if afraid that someone would catch up with them.

"My brother is still so gentle~"

With a slightly flushed face, Ebina Nana sighed as she watched Dongfang Bai's figure gradually disappear. Meanwhile, Umaru was being pulled into a competition by Sylphyn, and she was completely overwhelmed.

"Whoa, Azusa, did you see that? That's Doma, the freshman representative! She's running after school, even though she doesn't participate in any clubs."

A short-haired girl pointed in that direction with her friend, while the petite girl with pigtails glanced over there with little interest.

"We haven't joined any clubs yet..."

Nakano Azusa sighed helplessly. It was already the fourth day of school, and they still hadn't chosen a club. The choir and orchestral instrument clubs they had tried before didn't suit her taste.

Moreover, I was really looking forward to meeting that senior when I came to this school, but I didn't see him at all in four days. Logically speaking, the other person should be a second-year high school student.

Could it be that the other person was just making things up by saying she was from Toyonosaki? Probably not, because there was no need for that, so the other person must be a second-year student from Toyonosaki, and she even knew the name.

If she knew the name, it would be easy to ask around, but Nakano Azusa is a bit shy and wouldn't take the initiative to ask. Besides, she always has a friend who teases her, making her even more shy and afraid to ask.

"What's wrong, Zi? You look so disappointed."

"No...no."

She didn't intend to let her best friend know about this. If her friend found out that she applied to Toyonosaki partly because of a senior, she would definitely find ways to tease her.
