If I don't capture the girl, I will die

"Of course I would watch it, otherwise I would be bored to death at home. And judging from your tone, what kind of anime do you think I would watch?"

“I only watch daily romance anime that have childhood sweethearts.”

"..."

What you said makes sense.

Ying Lili lowered her head guiltily, that was in the past.

Walking up to the cosplayer, Ji Qi, who had already adjusted the parameters, found an angle and took a click.

"How about it?"

"Eh? Unexpectedly good, huh? Much better than last time. Have you learned photography recently?"

Ji Qi shrugged. He certainly couldn't tell the real reason, so he made up an excuse, "I guess so. After all, last time, Eriri said that my photography was terrible, and I was a little unwilling to accept it."

"..."

I don’t know if it was the sun or something, but a charming blush appeared on Eriri’s face.

Chapter 373 Please Start Your Operation

If the genders were reversed, Eriri's feelings now would probably be the same as accidentally knowing that a girl is willing to transform from a young lady who can't cook to a five-star chef just because of a casual word from you.

Well, although Ji Qi is not a girl and her progress is not as exaggerated as that of a five-star level, the heart that cares about you is the most important!

These little things can move girls the most. At least Eriri is very touched now.

In fact, considering Eriri's beauty, there are many people who are willing to do this to pursue her, but from childhood to adulthood, only these two men can get close to Eriri. Women are very heartless. They will not be moved at all by the people they don't care about, no matter how attentive you are.

And that would be too deliberate. It's far less touching than the natural feeling now. After all, who knows if they will meet at the comic convention? If they don't meet, Ji Qi doesn't know how long he will have to work hard.

Really, this idiot...

Ying Lili's face was flushed and her eyes were moving. The cosplay scenes that she had been looking forward to in the past became boring, and her whole attention was focused on Ji Qi's profile.

I never noticed before, is he so handsome?

He instantly beat 98% of the male cosplayers at the scene.

Ji Qi, who didn't realize that his unintentional words had upset the girl's heart, took the camera and took pictures with great interest. Most of the people he targeted were those with novel ideas or high-fidelity cosplay. He was not interested in those female cosplayers who were surrounded by a group of people and dressed revealingly.

Among them, Ji Qi and Eriri, who were wearing hats, found a 90% similarity to Honko Na—or should I say Asuna. After all, Sword Art Online has not been animated yet, and its popularity is not as high as before. Ji Qi only found two or three in the entire photography area.

Ji Qi tried to raise two simple requests with her. This good-looking female cosplayer was very cooperative and posed in several postures with a sweet smile. Compared with many uncle-level photographers with obvious desires on their faces, a young, handsome, tall man like Ji Qi, who also has a camera that can be seen as a high-end person at a glance, I believe that 100% of people will choose Ji Qi.

After taking several photos, Ji Qi flipped through them contentedly. With a strange sense of accomplishment, he planned to edit these photos and upload them to Twitter later. Anyway, this girl was wearing armor and didn't show any flesh.

"You just explained your identity. Go and ask for contact information. Maybe you can make an appointment."

Seeing Ji Qi like this, Ying Lili felt a strange feeling in her heart. She snorted coldly, and her tone was slightly sour without her even noticing.

Looking at herself again at her rustic outfit and the glasses she was wearing, she suddenly felt a little suffocated.

Ji Qi shook his head. "Why do we need to make an appointment? Others are very serious cosplayers."

"In other words, you are planning to date someone who is not serious?" Ying Lili keenly noticed the loophole in Ji Qi's words and sneered again.

"I won't date anyone who's not serious." Ji Qi replied calmly. Although he can get rid of his identity as a great magician at any time and live the realistic life that he used to envy, a man must control his desires and lower body.

"That's pretty much it."

Muttering quietly, Ying Lili felt inexplicably relieved. She had no doubt that Ji Qi could find high-quality female fans to date. Last time, she saw someone posting photos under the other party's Twitter!

The most important thing is that she is pretty.

shameless.

Eriri quietly clenched her fists.

Seeing that Eriri's interest was suddenly not as high as before, she continued to take a few photos. Ji Qi, whose original purpose was not here, also stopped where he was and looked for where Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi were.

At first, the two of them were following them, but before they knew it, they disappeared.

strangeness.

After searching for a long time without finding them, Ji Qi sent a text message to ask, and then took Ying Lili back to the venue.

Ji Qi was not too worried about whether they would encounter danger or not. Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi were not the kind of girls like Mashiro Maki who needed others to worry about and take care of them. Besides, there were security personnel patrolling around here at all times, and perverts basically did not exist.

And he knows that whether it is a lover or an ordinary friend, it is important to give each other a certain amount of freedom and trust. As soon as the girl leaves his sight every day, he will keep asking her questions and worrying about this and that. This is what an unconfident man would do. If the time is short, he can explain it by caring about the other person, but if it lasts for a long time, others will definitely get bored.

How many couples break up because of lack of trust in each other?

The experienced Ji Qi would definitely not make such a low-level mistake.

Another way to explain it is that he is confident. Of course, a person's confidence has a reason. Confidence without reason is arrogance. His confidence comes from his current achievements that are barely acceptable.

"Where do you want to go next? I'll go with you." Looking at the vibrating phone screen, Ji Qi said casually to Ying Lili aimlessly.

Shiyu and Kato Megumi had already run to another area to buy something.

"Eh?"

Ying Lili was stunned. She knew that Ji Qi could be considered a homebody. Didn't he have any place he wanted to go? Was it to take care of her?

Faced with this thoughtfulness, she felt a little strange. Usually, Ji Qi was not so gentle to her.

Besides, if the two of them were to go to a comic convention alone, it would be like a date, right?

Eriri, who had almost no experience in dating and whose emotional intelligence was relatively the lowest among the group, almost had steam coming out of her head.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Eriri walked ahead first, still saying proudly, "Since you said so, it's up to you."

Knowing that Eriri was a tsundere, Ji Qi just understood her meaning the opposite way and followed her.

Like most people, Eriri's first stop was doujinshi.

However, unlike the 18x fan fiction she drew herself, the one Eriri bought was a fan fiction book that was purely about the plot and characters.

In the past, she had undoubtedly bought only childhood sweethearts books, because childhood sweethearts rarely had the last laugh in most anime light novels, so she could only read the books to satisfy her resentment.

But this time she secretly forgot about Ji Qi, who was also flipping through a book in front of the stall, and subconsciously replaced the book of her childhood sweetheart with the book of other characters.

After taking it, she comforted herself, saying that she was just interested in this character and wanted to change her taste...

Chapter 374 Where is your mother?

There are quite a few things that Eriri is interested in. Notebooks, plastic figurines, and some small decorations related to anime characters are all things that ordinary otaku like.

Faced with these things that are much more expensive than usual, as long as she likes Eriri, she will buy them without blinking an eye. Her parents usually take care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Eriri actually spends less money every month than most children from ordinary families. She probably only spends money like this at comic conventions. And this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket compared to her income and her family status.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's feelings were right. Eriri was now running wild like a wild rabbit. Especially since Ji Qi was beside her and helped him carry things, she became even more unscrupulous after solving the only weight-bearing problem.

Ji Qi naturally wouldn't say anything when Ying Lili bought things, since it wasn't his money being spent anyway.

only……

"Eri, I can't carry any more." Ji Qi raised the bag filled with various things in his hand and said to Erili speechlessly. As a man, it is his duty to help a girl carry things in such occasions, but he didn't expect Erili to go too far!

"Really? It's just this little bit..."

Unconsciously revealing her feminine nature, Ying Lili smacked her lips and said with a feeling of unfulfilled desire. She complained, but her body still obediently took a bag from Ji Qi's hand and walked beside him.

But when she saw their current intimate posture, her face turned red again.

Will others mistake them for being a couple?

But Eriri is really overthinking it.

After all, there is a 20cm height difference between them, and Eriri's tomboyish outfit makes passersby think they are a brother and sister or a younger brother instead of a couple when their faces are not clearly visible...

"By the way, Yinglili, why didn't you see your mother today?" Ji Qi paused and asked casually. Don't get me wrong, he was just curious.

"Usually she would stay near the club until all the books were sold out, and then she would go wander around other places. I don't know where she is right now... Why are you asking this?"

Without giving it much thought, Ying Lili readily revealed her mother's whereabouts, and then asked in a somewhat puzzled manner.

"Hehe, it's okay. I just want to thank Aunt Sayuri for what happened last time." Hearing this, even Ji Qi, who was thick-skinned, felt embarrassed. He coughed uncomfortably and found a very reliable reason.

"Forget it... There's a new game test over there, how about we try that?"

When you walk into the commercial area, you will find that major game companies are promoting and displaying their new works here, and they also welcome gaming experts to participate in the activities.

Passing by an Eriri game company, she happened to see the game she had been eyeing for a long time. Eriri forgot what happened just now and immediately pulled Ji Qi's sleeve.

hum-

"How can I try it with so many things? Wait, let me check my phone."

In response to Ying Lili's thoughts, Ji Qi had no choice but to put the bag on the ground temporarily and took out his cell phone.

It’s a text message from Shiyu.

She was asking where they were now.

Ji Qi reported the location and patted Ying Lili's shoulder gently, "Shiyu and the others are coming back. You can probably play if you wait here for a while."

Huh? Kato Megumi and Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't leave?

Ying Lili, who originally thought that they had gone home, twitched the corner of her mouth. Although she could play the games she wanted, the happy time was coming to an end, and she couldn't be happy at all.

Ji Qi was a little surprised to hear her muffled response. Ying Lili was the type who, once she got along well with someone, would constantly express her feelings on her face, being tsundere and contradicting the other person.

Ji Qi naturally noticed her obvious change in mood.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to think too much, and soon Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi appeared in front of them.

It seemed like they happened to be nearby, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast.

Seeing the bag in Ji Qi's hand, Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes slightly and instantly thought of the truth of the matter.

You really can't let your guard down for even a moment, otherwise there will always be thieves.

Although she knew that their relationship was not what she imagined, Kasumigaoka Utaha was inevitably a little jealous. This was a very normal psychology. It would be strange or bad to feel indifferent.

Unlike Kasumigaoka Utaha whose first reaction was jealousy, Kato Megumi, who didn't have much presence, noticed that Himeki's hands were full of bags, and her first reaction was to take two for him.

Shiyu was a little surprised by the skillful movement that seemed to have been practiced thousands of times in other occasions.

With alarm bells ringing in her heart, she naturally walked to Ji Qi's side and gently helped him share a bag. However, before leaving, she stepped on the man's foot inconspicuously to express her dissatisfaction.

After the two girls arrived, they completed the secret confrontation without saying a word.

Perhaps it was telepathy or something, but the two girls' eyes met.

One is still gentle and calm.

The other is very subtle and complex.

The harmonious scene of them talking and laughing when they were alone together before disappeared in an instant.

Although he didn't know what they were thinking, Ji Qi could guess a little bit and his expression remained unchanged. Anyway, the girls essentially helped him share the burden, which made him relax a lot.

Ying Lili was even more confused. She didn't understand what this meant yet.

"By the way, where did you go?" In the silent atmosphere, Ji Qi looked at the two girls who, in addition to the bag they took from him, each held a small bag in their hands, and took the initiative to start the conversation. He was really curious.

When did these two people become so close?

Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her eyebrows, "Do you want to hear the little secrets between women?"

Ji Qi was tactful and stopped asking any more questions.

"By the way, Ying Lili said she wanted to play games. Who of you would like to accompany her?" Ji Qi, who originally wanted to ask where to go next, noticed the empty seat in the game company and said casually.

This game seems to be a two-player game. You can ask the staff to explain while you play, or you can play with your partner.

Ji Qi said this on purpose because he knew that Eriri would definitely not play games with strangers.

"Well, let me do it. To be honest, playing games with the golden retriever is a pretty good and novel experience." Kasumigaoka Utaha smiled elegantly, but what came out of her cherry lips were surprising words.

"Kasumi·no·oka·Shi·yu! How many times have I told you not to call me Golden Retriever, a pet-like name!" Eriri, who would be successfully irritated by this woman no matter how many times, said angrily with a slightly distorted delicate facial features.

Kato Megumi, who was standing by, watched this commonplace scene, her expression calm but with a hint of tenderness.

Chapter 375 Push Sayuri, do you think I should yell at you?

Eriri looked reluctant to go play games with Kasumigaoka Utaha. When they came back, they were still bickering and disliking each other as usual, but their happy looks made Ji Qi want to complain.

There is nothing much to say about what happened next.
