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

and many more!

Dongfang Bai suddenly remembered something very wrong. He remembered that five or six years ago, Xiao Mai was a well-behaved girl who received a good education just like Dongfang Bai's family. She should have grown up to be a child like Kotobuki Tsumugi.

But what's going on now? Why is she in the arcade?!

Moreover, she's so skilled at playing games; controlling the bear character with such proficiency in combos isn't something that can be achieved overnight.

Dongfang Bai suddenly looked at Xiaomai with a surprised look, and she obviously noticed it too, only then realizing that she had come out wearing 'UMR' clothes...!

Oh no, oh no, oh no! My brother caught me playing games at the arcade!

Although it's been several years since we last met, my brother must still be very well-educated by Uncle Dongfang Yan. He absolutely cannot go into places like arcades!

Especially since she was a girl, wearing strange clothes and a mask, she looked very suspicious and casually entered the arcade.

And the opponent I just played against online was my own brother! Doesn't that mean I've been completely discovered?!

[PS: I'm going to have online live classes soon, hahaha... sob sob qwq]

"Onii-chan...!"

Xiaomai suddenly shouted, startling the girls next to her, who stood frozen in place, and even Dongfang Bai stared blankly at the girl in front of him.

What's going on? Has Umaru turned into a delinquent girl in just five or six years? Who was that cute and innocent little angel who used to call out "Onii-chan" to me all the time?

It's okay, brother, I understand you. After all, girls change a lot as they grow up, and you're not a child anymore. It's normal to go through a rebellious phase.

The thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and Dongfang Bai's gaze towards Doma Umaru gradually softened. His gentle gaze calmed Umaru's anxious heart.

Although my brother's gentle smile is very handsome... that's not how it is!!!

Moreover, the way his brother looked at him was exactly like he was looking at a misguided child, and he even seemed to want to use his gentleness to reform him!

Umaru felt like her head was about to explode. She had been seen wearing 'UMR' clothes outside by Dongfang Bai, and she really wanted to die.

"Anyway, brother, please give me the phone quickly!"

Umaru felt her cheeks burning. She touched the back of her hand and felt her cheeks were as hot as a boiling iron kettle. If it weren't for the black mask covering her face, she would definitely have been seen!

My brother's four classmates were staring at me. I was so embarrassed. Was I making my brother lose face?

In Doma's heart, Dongfang Bai has always been a model student: well-mannered, capable, and kind. He has always admired his older brother, so he studies very hard and has already achieved first place in his junior high school grade.

Moreover, she never relinquished her position as the top student in her grade when she was in the first year of junior high school. No one could surpass Umaru's academic performance. Umaru was a true all-rounder in sports, an outstanding student, and also very beautiful. She was a 'god' in everyone's eyes.

But now this 'god' is in a state of extreme suicidal desire, and she doesn't even dare to look her brother in the eye. Now her brother must think she has become a bad child!

Oh no! Although I suddenly became obsessed with ACG anime and manga in my second year of junior high school, and then gradually became lazy over the next two years, eventually starting to frequent arcades, I've definitely gone astray!

"Ah, that's no problem. What do you want to do...?"

Dongfang Bai was taken aback, then took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Xiaomai. After Xiaomai unlocked the password, she typed something out, then turned off the phone and immediately returned it to Dongfang Bai.

How did she know my phone password?

Dongfang Bai stared blankly at Doma Umaru. She stood there and took a deep breath, as if trying to clear up some abnormality. Although she was dressed a little strangely today, she still looked very cute.

After all, she has a great figure, and wearing shorts and over-the-knee black stockings shows off the length of her legs.

"Brother, that's all for now! I have to go!"

Doma suddenly turned around and ran away quickly, so fast that Dongfang Bai barely saw her before she disappeared. She must have been in a great hurry...

"Hey……"

Before Dongfang Bai could even call out to her, she had vanished without a trace, leaving him somewhat bewildered. So, he could only look at the phone that had been returned to him.

The first thing that popped up was the phone's contact list, and there was a new contact named 'Xiao Mai', which made Dongfang Bai laugh. It seemed that she was still quite cute no matter how many years had passed.

Okay, I'll contact her again later.

Dongfang Bai put his phone back in his shirt pocket after thinking about it. He looked at the four girls next to him, and they gave him a strange look.

"Bai-chan! Was that your girlfriend just now?!"

Hirasawa Yui asked with sparkling eyes, showing that no matter what type of girl she was, she had this special trait of gossip.

*smack*

Hirasawa Yui received a light tap on the head from Akiyama Mio, who stood to the side looking helpless and said, "Haku-kun already said that she's his sister, right..."

As Akiyama Mio spoke, she looked at Dongfang Bai with a strange expression, as if asking, 'Right?'

"Yes, she is indeed my sister, but we haven't seen each other for several years, so I didn't recognize her at first glance."

Dongfang Bai was indeed telling the truth, because he really didn't recognize Doma Umaru just now, mainly because she was wearing a strange mask that completely covered her face, leaving only her eyes showing.

Ask any normal person, no, I should say a young girl, who would dress herself up like that? If someone saw her, she would be taken away as a suspect, right?

"~You don't seem like me at all, Bai Sang..."

Ritsu Tainaka's comment was spot on, and the other four nodded in agreement, because Dongfang Bai seemed like a model student, while the girl who had just escaped from here seemed a bit strange.

Although she has an approachable vibe similar to Dongfang Bai, her hair and eye color are completely different; she has long, milky orange hair.

"Indeed, because she's my distant cousin... right?"

Dongfang Bai frowned slightly. He couldn't quite explain his relationship with Doma Umaru either. They weren't related by blood; their ties were distant. It was only because his former senior had gotten married in Japan…

Then, out of nowhere, Doma Umaru (Li Le Zhao) became his cousin. His adoptive grandfather would not let go of anyone related to the Dongfang family. However, Dongfang Bai now has very few relatives, and he is the only direct descendant left.

If we go back to China now, the other three families will probably be vying to send people over for a social gathering, right?

"Alright, we can't play anymore. It's already three o'clock. Didn't we agree to come out today to help Wei choose a guitar?"

Dongfang Bai glanced at his watch. The five of them had been playing for a long time, and it was time to get down to business. If they just let the day pass by like this and still didn't buy Hirasawa Yui's guitar, it would be really frustrating.

Because without guitar training, it's impossible to begin. Although Hirasawa Yui is very talented, she had never touched a guitar before, so she didn't even know the most basic fingerstyle techniques.

I need to teach her step by step.

"...Oh, so you're out buying a guitar today?"

Hirasawa Yui's eyes widened slightly as she stared blankly at Dongfang Bai's face. It seemed that she was the only one having the most fun, which was why she had forgotten the most important thing.

"Don't forget about this either."

Akiyama Mio rolled her eyes. She had even forgotten that she came out to buy a guitar. Only someone as clueless as Hirasawa Yui could have done that. If the group continued to play around, it would be dark by the time they got there.

"What? Mio is having a lot of fun too."

"Cough cough..."

Mio Akiyama, her sore spot touched, coughed awkwardly twice. She had indeed been having so much fun that she had completely forgotten about buying a guitar...

"Okay! Let's get going then. Let's go to that shop. It's a music instrument shop. That's where Mio bought his bass!"

As Ritsu spoke, she quickly took charge of leading the way. Next came the real main task: to buy Hirasawa Yui's guitar!

The group soon arrived at a store called 10CIA. The upper floor was a shopping mall, while the lower floor was a 527 specialty store selling musical instruments. Dongfang Bai walked in front, and as he went down the escalator, he saw many musical instrument posters displayed around him.

"We've arrived, this is the place."

Lu opened the shop door. The lights inside were a warm orange. As soon as people walked in, they could see a large number of neatly arranged musical instruments, including guitars and basses.

The counter is also stocked with all sorts of music albums, records, and other music-related items; this shop is quite well-stocked.

"Wow, that's amazing...! There are so many guitars!"

Hirasawa Yui looked around, clearly very excited. There were guitars hanging on the wall, each with a different style, which were very eye-catching and had completely captured Hirasawa Yui's attention.

"Don't accidentally lose it, or you might not be able to afford to pay for it even if you sold Wei!"

Seeing Ping Zewei itching to touch the guitars, Dongfang Bai had a mischievous thought pop into his head. He whispered something in her ear, which startled her so much that she took two steps back.

"Bai Jun, don't scare Wei..."

"Cough cough..."

Dongfang Bai spoke somewhat awkwardly, while Hirasawa Yuichi frowned, looking absent-minded, as if he couldn't figure out which guitar to choose.

"Only girls should choose a violin with a slightly thinner neck for easier handling. Also, it's not good if it's too heavy, as hanging it around your neck for a long time can cause neck damage if you can't lift it."

Dongfang Bai reminded him that he had just seen Hirasawa Yui trying to get a particularly large guitar from the shelf. Even he himself found it a bit inconvenient to carry. What would it be like if Hirasawa Yui were to get it...?

Hirasawa Yui, with her small body, was playing a guitar that was bigger than her upper body, and her whole face was covered up, which must have been quite comical.

"Ah, this guitar is so cute~"

Yui Hirasawa showed a happy expression. She saw a particularly nice guitar, then quickly ran over and squatted down in front of it to examine it.

"This model... is it a 'Gibson'?"

Dongfang Bai looked at the guitar in front of Hirasawa Yui and immediately recognized its name. However, 'Gibson' was the name used in China, and he just used it out of habit.

So cute~

Hirasawa Yui couldn't resist touching it; it was clear she really liked the guitar, as it was indeed very nice-looking.

The neck is quite thick and appears to be carved from mahogany. The entire instrument is in red and orange tones. The neck is made of solid wood that matches the back and sides, while the fingerboard is a beautiful silver.

I must say, this guitar is really beautiful, but since it's carved from solid wood, it must be quite heavy. I'm afraid Hirasawa Yui might accidentally drop it if she were to carry it...

"But this guitar costs 25."

As expected of Ritsu Tainaka, the first thing she looked at was the price, because price is indeed the most important factor. Yui Hirasawa only has a budget of 50,000 Japanese yen, so buying this guitar, which costs five times that amount, is completely unrealistic.

"So expensive...!"

Akiyama Mio remarked that the guitar was indeed quite expensive, but generally speaking, guitars costing over 20 yen are of very good quality, so the quality of this guitar should not be bad either.

"It should be very cost-effective."

Dongfang Bai touched the guitar strings lightly. They felt quite comfortable to the touch, and there was a rich feeling when strumming them. The tone should also be very good. At least in his eyes, this guitar could sell for 30 Neon Coins.

"There really isn't any other way."
