Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

"Is it okay?" Rikka Takanashi asked.

"It's alright, I've made plenty of dishes anyway, one more won't make a difference," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.

Rikka Takanashi nodded gently, put down the bread in her hand, and walked behind Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

"Um... Tsuchimikado-kun, can I come too?" Gabriel looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu with wide eyes, as if she was really looking forward to visiting his house.

Actually, Gabriel was secretly planning what equipment she could buy with the money she saved from going out for a free meal.

“No.” Tsuchimikado Fuyu answered without hesitation.

Hmph, don't think you can win me over by acting cute. Gabriel knows exactly what Tsuchimikado Fuyu is thinking. She just wants to save money!

Because when I was in junior high school, I was addicted to online games, just like you, and I often went to Tomoya's house for meals!

"cut."

"You just cut it! You cut it! Let me tell you, if you want to freeload, you have to pay. I'm not some rich guy, we're barely making ends meet at home." Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at Gabriel's displeased face and felt a surge of anger.

You're still unhappy, aren't you!

"I might as well buy snacks," Gabriel muttered. "I'm going to spend money anyway, and I don't even know how good this guy's cooking is. What if it's not tasty? I'll be losing out."

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's lips twitched. "Don't say what's on your mind!"

It would be one thing if they said it out loud, but the fact that I could hear it was so annoying!

……

"Dinner's ready," Tsuchimikado Fuyu called out as he walked into the courtyard.

Since the courtyard was built, the shikigami have liked to stay there when they have nothing to do. According to the three-tailed fox, it is very comfortable and spacious to stay in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, everyone can do what they want without being disturbed.

When Rikka Takanashi arrived at the house and saw the garden, she was immediately awestruck and stared at Fuyuki Tsuchimikado with sparkling eyes.

Then, led by Yingcao, they happily strolled around the courtyard, pondering how to make the most of it as their base.

"Holy crap, where did you come from?" When they arrived in the living room, Gabriel was already sitting at the table, ready to eat.

“Didn’t Tsuchimikado say he wanted to recruit me into the guild? You haven’t mentioned it, so I thought I’d come and ask. It just so happens that it’s lunchtime, so in order not to waste food, I’ll help you out,” Gabriel said seriously.

"You're an angel! How could you do something so shameless?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained. I remember I had already rejected her, okay?

“But angels need to eat too,” Gabriel said matter-of-factly.

"That reason... is so powerful... my foot! You've completely lost your integrity!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained.

"What is integrity? You can't eat it, and you can't use it to spend money on in-game purchases." Gabriel said this with an innocent expression, completely lacking in integrity.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's forehead veins bulged, his fist clenched, really wanting to slam it into Gabriel's face and say, "See this fist the size of a sandbag?"

Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with this useless angel. I'll just consider it doing a good deed.

After finishing his meal, Tsuchimikado Fuyu sat contentedly on the sofa. Indeed, his own cooking was delicious. However, with more and more people coming, the amount of food he had to cook each time was also increasing, which was a bit of a hassle.

I wish I had a shikigami that could cook.

Gabriel was also lying on the sofa contentedly; she hadn't eaten properly for two days.

It's not because she's spending too much money on in-game purchases and can't afford to eat. Gabriel is still in the early stages of spending money on in-game purchases and can still restrain herself each time. She's just too addicted to online games to cook.

What Tsuchimikado Tou didn't know was that after today's free meal, Gabriel seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and was already planning how to turn Tsuchimikado Tou into her long-term meal ticket.

She had even planned to the extent that she could sacrifice her body if Tsuchimikado Fuyu disagreed!

Well, at worst... at worst, I'll just let him hold my hand! I'll wash it a few more times when I get back and it'll be fine.

If Tsuchimikado Fuyu knew what Gabriel was thinking, he would definitely beat her to death; he would never tolerate it.

Anyway, if she dies, she'll just go back to heaven at most, so it doesn't matter.

After a while, Gabriel brought her computer over and asked Tsuchimikado to add her to the guild.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu skillfully entered his account and password, and the page appeared, showing him as a dual-sword warrior.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu belongs to a guild called Array Cat. It's not a big guild, with only six members, but the members get along very well and can chat with each other.

"Hey, Revelation Online, you're here." As soon as Tsuchimikado Winter logged into the game, a boy named Yaprico sent him a message.

Although Legend of Mir has a pixel art style, it has a very powerful feature: the characters can speak the messages you send, and there are more than ten voices to choose from in the sound library.

This is why Gabriel was able to hear someone calling for help in the game while she was cleaning.

"Revelation Online? Why haven't you been online these past few days? Is something wrong?" Then a boy named Lucian asked.

"Heh, who knows, this man might abandon us because he's chasing after girls." That's what Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat said.

"What? Revelation Online is going to become a game for real people? Then why are you even playing it? Just die! Die, die, die..." A string of "die" came out of a girl's mouth, and Tsuchimikado Fuyu immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Ya Zi, calm down," Lucien shouted quickly.

"Kuro Neko, your mouth is still as sharp as ever. And Ako, I've never said I wanted to find a girlfriend. It's all just nonsense from Kuro Neko," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.

"Tianyu, is something wrong? You haven't been online for several days," a boy named Xiu Fan asked.

"Well, high school is starting, and my allowance is almost gone, so I need to earn money!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu explained simply.

"Revelation Online has already become independent so early! That's great!" Yapli said with a smile. "Living independently on your own is very difficult at first."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Offline Gathering?

"Hehe." Tsuchimikado Fuyu chuckled, not responding to Aprico's words. Independent living? Well, it started a long time ago.

"By the way, my friend has been playing this game recently and wants to join our guild. He's a priest, much more reliable than Yazi."

"A treatment more reliable than Bia's? Then hurry up and bring him in!" Xiu Fan said excitedly.

It's no wonder Xiu Fan was so excited. One bad thing about this game is that, apart from PVP activities like arena battles or sieges, you lose a lot of experience if you die in the wilderness.

Therefore, the priest is a very popular character in this game, which is why Gabriel is so popular in the starting village.

Of course, the priest has to be reliable. Someone like Ako is disliked because, strangely enough, the priest can also heal monsters. And it's not the first or second time that Tsuchimikado Fuyu and his group have been wiped out because Ako healed the wrong monsters.

"Shu, your reaction is so hurtful. I'm trying my best to heal everyone," Ako said sadly.

"No, Xiu Fan's reaction is normal. Ya Zi, your treatment is already at a level that makes people despair," Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat complained.

Soon, Tsuchimikado Tou brought Gabriel to their guild's base, a secluded coffee shop.

"Ding, Angel Gabriel has joined the Array Cats." Because Tsuchimikado Fuyu is the vice president, he has the authority to add people, and he quickly added Gabriel.

However, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was speechless about Gabriel's online name. But... no one would believe that Gabriel's online name was her real name!

"Hello everyone, I'm Gabriel." Gabriel said with a smile.

Yaprico: "Welcome, newbie, your level is still very low! Level up with us tomorrow."

Lucian: "Welcome, welcome."

Xiu Fan: "Our future treatment will depend on you."

After a round of welcomes, the topic was quickly shifted, and Yaprico suddenly said, "It's perfect timing that you're online, Tianyu. We're preparing for the first annual online gathering of the Array Cat Guild, why don't you come and join us!"

At the same time, they also set off a grand fireworks display, leaving everyone speechless. Just how rich is this guy?!

Yaprico: "Alright, everyone clap your hands!"

Lucian: "President, just how rich are you?! You've already set off fireworks once! That's such a waste of money!"

Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat: "Damn pay-to-win player."

Yaprico: "Alright, everyone clap your hands!"

Everyone took a few perfunctory photos.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Yaple explained with a smile, "Because Revelation and Gabriel don't know! Of course, we have to let them see it too."

No one bothered to complain anymore. Anyway, this girl was used to spending money on in-game purchases. According to her explanation, the money she spent on in-game purchases was all earned by herself and had no impact on her real life, so she was a "non-paying" player.

"Online gathering? We're all scattered all over the country, it must be hard to get together!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked curiously.

"What is online gathering?" Gabriel asked curiously.

Although she is an internet addict, she has only been playing games for two days and doesn't know much about them yet.

"Online gatherings refer to private get-togethers held by people who met online, also known as face-to-face meetings," Tsuchimikado Fuyu explained.

"So we'll meet in real life, right?" Gabriel suddenly realized.

“That’s right. And the five of us have already decided. Me, Xiu Fan, Ya Zi, and Lucian are closer together, while Kuro Neko-chan is a bit further away, but not too far. So we’re initially planning to meet at Maesaki Station.”

Yaprico said, "Of course, it's okay if Revelation Online and Gabriel can't come. We'll have offline events in the future."

“Maesaki Station?” Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Gabriel exchanged a glance. Gabriel said, “The Vinette family’s house is there, just one stop away.”

So Tsuchimikado Fuyu typed, "Gabriel and I aren't far from there either."

"Oh ho, with Gabriel!" Aprico said with a smile.

"Yes, Tianyu, shouldn't you explain?" Xiu Fan teased.

"Just as I thought, ha, men," the black cat said disdainfully.

Don't ask why game characters can say such contemptuous things; can't you just imagine it yourself?

"I really hope all the popular people in real life just die. People who are in relationships don't need to play games anymore. Just standing next to those kinds of people makes me feel unhappy. Ah, I wonder if those kinds of people will ever become extinct. They are truly a scourge on the world, hehehehehe..." Ako started to turn dark again, muttering to herself with lifeless eyes.

"She and I are just neighbors, what are you all thinking?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said speechlessly.

“Exactly, dating is out of the question. You might as well spend that time playing games,” Gabriel chimed in.

Ako immediately snapped out of her dark daze and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

Lucian said, "Although I also hate people who are popular, you can't take that resentment out on your friends."

"I'm sorry." Ako apologized again, but no one was angry because they were all surprisingly in agreement on the topic of being a "normie."

However, it is precisely because of this that everyone gets along so well; they are a group of companions whose friendship is beyond description.

Although it's a guild with only six members and not very strong, often getting tricked and killed, everyone still has a lot of fun every day.

Of course, this is a huge opportunity for Tsuchimikado Fuyu, who wants to ban online games.

No, I should take this opportunity at the offline gathering to tell everyone, because I still need to earn money to support my family.

“Actually, if we’re talking about dating, Ako and Lucian are probably the most popular among us,” Tsuchimikado Fuyu said.
