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

She called out and then quickly ran to the living room, where she immediately saw a black-haired boy lying motionless on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Ah, fairy, are you here again today?"

Dongfang Bai remained expressionless. He was already used to the fairy visiting every day, since the two houses were right next door, extremely close, with their yards practically touching on either side of the door…

Moreover, the fairy has been visiting almost every day for the past few days. This time, the fairy was holding a red and white PSP with a cute monster icon on it.

"Yes! This is a recently released fighting game! Let's battle!"

The fairy looked happy. Although he didn't know why she always got the latest games first, it didn't affect Dongfang Bai's mood.

"Okay, but don't let me beat you until you cry, okay?"

"Hmph, I did some special research last night! Fall at my feet!"

Yamada Fairy looked proud and smug, as if she had done her homework last night because she couldn't beat Dongfang Bai in the game the last few times, so she wanted to get revenge.

"By the way, you look quite cute wearing that headband."

The moment Yamada Elf entered, Dongfang Bai noticed the headband on her golden hair; it seemed she really liked it.

"Huh...?"

"Eh?! What are you going to say?! What are you going to say?!"

The fairy suddenly became a little flustered. She had just been ready to come and play games with Dongfang Bai, and then suddenly she was praised for being cute...

No matter what kind of girl she is, she'll feel a little happy when someone compliments her on being cute, especially if it's someone she likes; that feeling of happiness will be amplified.

The fairy's head felt a bit burnt out. Dongfang Bai wondered if it was just his imagination, but he also felt a wisp of bluish-white smoke slowly rising from her head.

Is this guy really that easily embarrassed?

"This guy."

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes. Even if he had zero emotional intelligence, he could tell from this that the fairy definitely had some feelings for him. To be honest, he also had feelings for her.

He even thought about confessing his feelings to her, becoming her boyfriend, and having a sweet romance—that sounded pretty good...

But! ! !

We can't rush things now, because she's only 14 years old, maybe not even 14 yet! If word gets out that we're dating, who knows if I'll get taken away on charges of 'indecent assault'?

The thought of this made Dongfang Bai's scalp tingle. Besides, he didn't want to find a girlfriend so soon and planned to wait another year or two.

"That fairy... I've always wanted to ask her about it."

Seeing the fairy's shy appearance, Dongfang Bai felt a little embarrassed and decided to quickly change the subject.

"Ok?"

The fairy's expression gradually calmed down, and then she looked at Dongfang Bai with a puzzled expression.

"Could it be... that you don't have any friends?"

Actually, Dongfang Bai regretted it the moment he said those words. He had only intended to quickly change the subject, but the words had slipped out...

"Ha... Ahhh!?"

The fairy's smile gradually froze, her face becoming extremely flat, giving off a completely different, 'his secret has been exposed' look.

"You! You! Who are you calling someone who's always lonely, friendless, and plays games all by themselves?!"

"Wait! I didn't mention the last part!"

Dongfang Bai had just started complaining when the fairy threw down the game console, pounced on him, and punched him hard in the chest with her fists...

Although her strength was rather weak, the way she hit his chest felt like a massage... no, if it were a massage, the pressure might not be enough.

"Hmph! You stinky Bai, if you're going to say that, you probably don't have any friends either!"

Yamada Fairy crossed her arms over her chest, opened one eye and closed the other, her lips slightly pursed, and spoke to Dongfang Bai in the same mocking tone.

puff.

It felt like something had pierced my heart. Indeed, I really don't have many friends. To be honest, I can count the number of people in my contact list on one hand.

Aside from his cheap dad and shameless grandpa, all that's left are Yukino, Fairy, Kato Megumi, Sagiri, Furuhashi Fumino, and Tomoya-kun...

I can literally count them on my fingers. Right now, in other people's eyes, I'm just a shut-in with no friends...!

"Hey!? Why did you suddenly go silent?!"

Looking at Dongfang Bai, whose head was bowed, Yamada Fairy couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She suddenly realized that this guy didn't seem to have any friends.

I've noticed he stays home all day and never goes out, and I haven't seen him go out with friends or anything...

"Oh right, isn't today the release date of Fate? Aren't you going to check it out?"

The fairy looked at Dongfang Bai, who was slumped on the sofa and motionless, with some surprise. She had been quite excited when her first book was published.

Back then, she even went to several bookstores to check on her sales!

"Ah... I already went to the nearest bookstore this morning."

Dongfang Bai squinted, still pondering whether or not to reveal that he had taken all of the fairy's recommended spots. Given the fairy's personality, she would definitely be unwilling to accept it.

"I'm really impressed with you, you're not worried at all..."

The fairy put her hands on her hips, then her eyes lit up when she saw the small white bag that Dongfang Bai had placed to the side, which contained several light novels.

"Hey! You stinky white guy! What is this...?"

"Oh, that one was given to me by Sister Changpu. It's a commemorative deluxe edition."

As Dongfang Bai spoke, he took out a book. This book was even more advanced than the single-volume editions available outside. From the cover to the pages, it was a masterpiece made of high-quality materials.

Hardcover light novels are generally not sold in stores. Usually, once the author becomes famous, a hundred or two copies will be made available for online sale, and many limited-edition merchandise items will be included with the book.

Dongfang Bai had absolutely no desire for this sales-boosting plan, because every deluxe edition had to include his autograph.

In other words, if he were to release a hardcover edition of his book one day, he would have to sign hundreds of copies at once, which would be like a scene from hell.

While most authors would rather work themselves to death signing autographs for the sake of sales, Dongfang Bai is not willing to do so. He can accept holding autograph sessions occasionally, but this one is out of the question.

“~Like this.”

The fairy seemed very interested, and Dongfang Bai couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her face. He took out one of the several hardcover books and handed it to Yamada Fairy.

"Thank you for your continued support, Fairy. This small gift is nothing but a token of my appreciation."

"Eh, negative?"

Yamada Elf seemed to make an unexpectedly cute sound. She looked at Dongfang Bai with some surprise. Even the author himself probably didn't have many copies of this deluxe edition, yet he just casually gave it to her.

"No need to be so alarmed, come on."

He gently handed the Fate book to the fairy, then stood up and poured her a glass of orange juice, which she drank in one gulp, revealing a smile.

"Hmph~ Then I'll take this home first. You stinky Bai, come and see me off."

"You live right next door, right..."

Dongfang Bai rolled his eyes, but still stood up and accompanied Yamada Elf to her door. After she went inside, she made a funny face at herself and then closed the door.

Seriously... has this girl forgotten why she came here? She clearly brought her PSP to play a multiplayer game with her, right?

Dongfang Bai's lips twitched slightly. He looked around, then closed the iron gate of the fairy's house and went home.

[PS: The subscription numbers are quite low. Although I was teased by some big shots, thank you all for your support! Thank you so much!]

Chapter 83 How about I become your girlfriend? [Please subscribe automatically]

After the fairy returned, Dongfang Bai also sent a deluxe edition of the book to Sagiri. She was very happy to see her own illustrations printed on it, and then immediately went into her room to do something.

"it is good."

Dongfang Bai quickly turned on his computer. Once today was over, he would receive his first payment for his writing. He could finally be a lazy bum who just lazes around and does nothing. It was fantastic.

I've been lying on the sofa for a long time now, and I've had a completely, fully, and satisfying rest. Now it's time for game time!

[Yakumo Shiro: It's been so long since I've been online. How come I always see you online every time I log in?]

As soon as Dongfang Bai logged on, he saw the familiar game ID 'Angel Gabriel' online, so he immediately sent her a private message.

[Angel Gabriel: Oh my god! Baymax is finally online! That black cat guy hasn't been online for a while, and you've disappeared without a trace. I'm all alone, getting completely destroyed in ranked matches and unable to climb the ranks!]

This girl seemed very excited; you could tell how fast she typed just by how quickly she replied to messages. And she really was in front of the computer all the time.

Anyway, Dongfang Bai always saw her online whenever he logged on. Even when she wasn't online, she had said that she would log on immediately if L447ine called her.

The game's ranks are Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, and Challenger. Gabriel has been playing with two Diamond-ranked pros, Black Cat and Dongfang Bai, and has finally reached Platinum rank.

However, both Black Cat and Dongfang Bai are actually at the King level, but they both know that the other is deliberately not going up, because they always think that if they go up a higher rank, they won't be able to play games with Gabriel.

So he deliberately suppressed his game score, deliberately losing points every time he tried to rank up. Although he was a little disappointed that he couldn't compete with high-ranking players, it wasn't bad to play with Gabriel.

[Yakumo Shiro: I've been quite busy with work, but things are much better now.]

[Gabriel: Sigh, but I'll have to cut back on my gaming time lately because the money I get from my boss... cough cough, because the allowance from home is getting less and less, so I have to work part-time to make ends meet.]

Huh? Dongfang Bai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Gabriel's family was not very wealthy. It's a pity that she spends the most money on in-game purchases among them. She basically buys every new hero and skin.

Could this girl also be from a wealthy family, and her parents forbade her from spending money recklessly? Thinking of this, Dongfang Bai suddenly felt a little sorry for her.

[Yakumo Shiro: Working part-time? I didn't know you'd work hard to earn money.]

Gabriel: I can't help it. If I could, I wouldn't even want to leave the house. It would be so much better to just laze around and wait to die. But I have no choice in order to have money to spend on in-game purchases. {pouting}

Gabriel's news made Dongfang Bai burst out laughing. This girl really had similar views to him, but she seemed to be even more serious than him. Not only was she a deadbeat otaku, but she was also a lazy bum who just wanted to eat and wait to die, and she was also a heavy spender in the game.

However, Gabriel had previously revealed that she was actually a high school girl, although Dongfang Bai didn't really believe it, since there were a lot of cross-dressing accounts online, especially in social games like this.

This guy claims to be a girl, but he might actually be a middle-aged man sitting in front of his computer picking his toes right now.

In a dimly lit apartment, a girl in a red and white tracksuit was hunched over a computer. The lights were off, and next to her was an empty bag of potato chips.

There were many white garbage bags scattered around, and the scene in this room was exactly the same as that of a teacher's home.
