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

Kotobuki Tsumugi, on the other hand, didn't have so many thoughts. She simply called over Gabriel, who had her hair tied in a single ponytail, and ordered a mixed coffee for 1,500 yen and a piece of cake.

"Tsumugi, you're so casual..."

Yui Hirasawa watched as Tsumugi Kotobuki ordered without the slightest hesitation, as if it were something she was already used to.

"Seriously, he runs so fast, we can't keep up with him at all, how are we supposed to find him?"

Ritsu Tainaka lay sprawled on the table, clearly disgruntled. Now that he'd lost him, he had no idea how to find him.

"Well, maybe it's just a misunderstanding."

Akiyama Mio, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned. She thought that someone with Dongfang Bai's personality probably wouldn't have a girlfriend... right?

Just as the four of them were chatting quietly, the shop door suddenly opened again, and a blonde girl walked in. She was quite beautiful, with a petite figure that made her look like a delicate porcelain doll.

"What a beautiful person."

Akiyama Mio couldn't help but exclaim in amazement that the blonde girl was indeed very beautiful and cute. In terms of looks, she was one of the most beautiful girls in Toyonosaki. Kotobuki Tsumugi, who was standing next to her, obviously recognized her.

"That looks like Sawamura, one of the most popular characters in Toyonosaki High School."

Kotobuki Tsumugi's words stunned the group. They hadn't expected such a popular girl to be here. However, Tainaka Ritsu still felt that while Eriri was cute, she couldn't compare to Akiyama Mio standing next to her...

But since she's here, does that mean she's also made an appointment with someone? It's unbelievable that someone can actually arrange to meet Sawamura Spencer Eriri. I really want to see what that person looks like.

The girl walked in and paused, glanced around briefly, then suddenly looked at Akiyama Mio and the others, and walked straight toward them.

"Huh...? It looks like she's walking towards us."

Hirasawa Yui was a little confused. The blonde girl was clearly walking towards them, but they didn't recognize her at all...?

Just as the four girls were in a daze, a very familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Ms. Kashiwagi, over here!"

Upon hearing this, Eriri paused for a moment, then quickly walked over, bypassing the four members of the Light Music Club, and went to the table behind them...

0 ····Requesting flowers···· ········

"It's a boy! And his voice sounds really familiar...!"

Ritsu Tainaka was also very gossipy. It was the first time she had seen something so exciting. She never expected that Eriri would have a date with a boy.

"Hey? Don't you guys think that voice just now sounded a lot like Bai Jun?"

Hirasawa Yui's words startled the four of them slightly. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Could it be that the person who made a date with Eriri was Dongfang Bai...?

The seats in the rabbit house are separated, with one four-person seat next to another four-person seat, but they are separated by glass, so unless you make a loud noise, you can't hear the other side.

"Huh...?"

Eriri stared blankly at Dongfang Bai, her furrowed brows giving off a strange feeling, as if she was still trying to confirm whether she was seeing things.

.... ........ 0

"What's wrong?"

Dongfang Bai looked at Eriri with some confusion. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he and Eriri had last seen each other. He guessed that Eriri had probably forgotten about him long ago.

Eriri seemed to have dressed up deliberately today. Her long blonde hair was tied into twin ponytails hanging down on both sides. She was wearing an earthy yellow dress with a white shirt underneath, and her ponytails were tied with dark blue ribbons.

Petite in stature, with her signature golden twin ponytails that are practically trademarks, her blonde hair like a work of art, her clear blue eyes like the ocean, and her porcelain-like skin, any man meeting her for the first time would be instantly captivated.

Because she is of mixed Japanese and eagle descent, she has a delicate face, long golden hair, and blue eyes that are not common among Japanese people.

"You you you you you you..."

Eriri's finger trembled slightly as she pointed at Dongfang Bai. When she arrived, her attention was entirely focused on Dongfang Bai's face, and she hadn't noticed Yamada Elf standing to the side.

It's clear that Dongfang Bai was just accompanying them today; the real partners were Yamada Elf and Sawamura Eriri.

"Dongdongdongdongdong...Dongfang Bai!?"

Wow, what a surprise! I didn't expect this girl to still remember her own name.

Dongfang Bai was a little surprised, after all, his face was somewhat similar to that of a child, so it was normal for him to be recognized.

"Sawamura-kun just mentioned 'Dongfang Bai,' right?"

Hirasawa Yui pointed behind her. Because the two tables were very close together, and Eriri's shout had been so loud, it was clear from their side.

"No way, I thought he was on a date with that girl with long blue hair, but it turns out he was with Sawamura-kun."

Tainaka Ritsu exclaimed in disbelief. Could it be that Dongfang Bai was even more popular than he appeared? Or perhaps he had good relationships with many girls behind their backs?

"In other words, we are very close to him now..."

As soon as Akiyama Mio finished speaking, Tainaka Ritsu suddenly covered her mouth, and Hirasawa Yui and Kotobuki Tsumugi also suddenly stopped talking and started communicating with gestures.

Hirasawa Yui pointed to herself with her right hand, then to her ear, and then to the wall, as if trying to express something.

On the other side, Ritsu Tainaka gave an OK sign and waved. Tsumugi Kotobuki, who was standing next to them, didn't understand what they were doing, but she found it very interesting and was particularly excited.

"I can't take it..."

Akiyama Mio sighed slightly. These three guys were really too gossipy. But she really didn't expect that they would run into the target they were tracking just by randomly entering a store. It was simply fate.

As she spoke, she couldn't suppress her curiosity and pressed her ear against the wall, trying to hear the voices of Dongfang Bai and the others behind her.

……

"You...you...you...how did you get here!?"

Eriri's face turned unusually rosy, completely different from her previous aloof demeanor, as if she had become a different person. She stuttered and spoke unclearly.

Why can't I be here...?

Dongfang Bai looked at her amusingly. As expected, Eriri was much more interesting than the average person. She must be very surprised to see her like this.

"No, no! I was supposed to meet Yakumo Haku-sensei and Yamada Elf-sensei here... Wait, Yakumo... Haku?"

Eriri's little head turned carefully for a moment, and she seemed to have thought of this terrifying thing: Dongfang Bai, who was sitting here and calling her by her 'circle name', and the blonde beauty next to her.

There's also the name Yakumo Shiro, and all sorts of logic swirled in Eriri's mind before she finally arrived at a conclusion.

Dongfang Bai is Yakumo Bai, and the blonde beauty next to her is most likely Yamada Elf!

What surprised her even more than Yamada Elf being a beautiful girl was that Touhou Shiro was Yakumo Shiro. She had been reminded of a certain memory when she heard the word "Shiro," but she never expected that this guy was the object of that memory.

"You're Mr. Yakumo Haku!?"

Dongfang Bai waved his hand helplessly and gestured for her to sit down.

Fortunately, this is the most secluded café in Akihabara. The entire café is empty, and you can't see anyone at all. Otherwise, in a place like Akihabara...

If someone suddenly shouts, "You're Yakumo Shiro-sensei!" or "You're Yamada Elf-sensei!", then this place will be instantly surrounded.

Although Dongfang Bai wasn't particularly famous, after this period of development, he has become much more well-known than before, and is now considered a rising star in the ACG world.

There's no way around it; Dengeki Bunko promoted him so effectively that they advertised him almost everywhere Dengeki Bunko had a stake in the company. Anyone with even a basic understanding of ACG culture would know about him.

"Shouldn't you be in China right now...?"

Eriri realized she had lost her composure, quickly blushed, and sat down, whispering to Dongfang Bai.

In her memory, although Dongfang Bai stayed in Japan for a few months, he soon returned to China, and the two never met again after that.

Her original plan was to become a famous cartoonist and spread her fame to China, reaching Dongfang Bai's ears. He would understand as soon as he heard the name 'Kashiwagi Eri'.

But to my complete surprise, that person suddenly appeared in front of me, and was even carrying the identity of 'Yakumo Shiro'...!

Why are you in Japan...?

"It's a long story. Actually, I was kicked out of my family and almost starved to death in Japan. I had to find a way to survive, so I could only write light novels to make ends meet."

Dongfang Bai's helpless tone left Eriri stunned. Although she knew years ago that this guy was a typical otaku, how could he write a work like 'Fate' so casually?

You know, Eriri spent a long time trying to publish her first manga, and could only work as a well-known doujinshi artist in the adult entertainment industry!?

Wait a minute, does that mean Dongfang Bai already knows that he is 'Kashiwagi Eri'?!

Suddenly, an extreme sense of shame filled Eriri's mind. It was the first time she had ever felt so ashamed of her identity as Kashiwagi Eri. She wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

A girl, and a very pretty and cute one at that, is actually an R18 doujinshi artist in the adult entertainment industry, and Dongfang Bai found out about it. She must be so ashamed she wants to die...

Moreover, all the 480 books she drew were extremely graphic NTR and RBQ doujinshi. Does Dongfang Bai think he's a pervert?

"Ah, speaking of which, it was you who rejected my artwork before...!"

Eriri suddenly remembered this and looked at Dongfang Bai with gritted teeth. This guy had just rejected the drawing she had worked so hard on for two days.

"Well, there's really nothing I can do about that, but didn't I bring you a new business partner?"

Dongfang Bai tried to change the subject, pointing the finger at Yamada Elf-sensei who was standing to the side. It was only then that Eriri fully noticed Yamada Elf-sensei.

I discovered that she was also a beautiful girl, and it turned out to be Yamada Elf, whose writing style was very erotic and who was known as an erotic novelist...?

"Let me introduce you. This is the author of 'Explosive Flame,' Ms. Yamada Elf."

Dongfang Bai introduced the fairy on his left to Eriri. The fairy, who had been silent until now, revealed a very sharp gaze and stared at Eriri, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Wait, I feel like I've felt this somewhere before. It seems like Yamada Elf has some inexplicable hostility towards me. What's going on?

But to be honest, Eriri also felt a strange hostility towards Yamada Elf, but at the same time, she also felt a very close feeling, which was very contradictory.

"Fairy, this is Ms. Kashiwagi Eri."

Dongfang Bai looked at the fairy and, in turn, introduced Eriri to her. To be honest, he felt that the fairy and Eriri had a strange similarity; both were tsundere and had blonde hair...
