"I've always valued friendship very much," the boy said earnestly.

"So my rank is still 'good friend'." The girl puffed out one cheek, seemingly dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, that's true for now." The boy pinched her down.

"Currently? When can we upgrade again?" The girl became expectant again.

"Nana, do you know any good restaurants around here? I've come all this way, so why don't you, a local, show me around?" The boy looked up, shading his eyes with his hand as he peered out.

"Cheng Fei, you're ignoring my questions again! I'm really angry!" The girl puffed out her other cheek, stomped her foot, and glared at him angrily.

……

In the end, he honestly acted as a tour guide and took the boy for a stroll in the nearby neighborhood.

Cheng Fei discovered that Nagasaki Asuna's appeal was no joke. The uncles and aunties who owned the shops all knew her, and every elder would call her "Little Asuna, Little Asuna" when they saw her. It seemed that she had achieved immense popularity in her neighborhood since she was a child, and she was simply a born idol.

"Cheng Fei, does this count as a date?" Nagasaki Asuna held a croquette she bought from a roadside stall and took a small bite.

"Anyway, friends can go on dates too." Cheng Fei held a bowl of tempura, which is various fried foods coated in batter.

"I'm so angry... I'm thinking of asking someone to help me knock Cheng Fei unconscious, tie him up in the basement, lock him up, and keep him inside forever, so he can only call out 'Nana, Nana' for the rest of his life and live obediently with Nana..." Nagasaki Asuna muttered softly, just loud enough for the boy to hear.

"People in the real world don't need to say what's on their minds." The boy chopped her on the head, making her let out a deliberately cute whimper.

"By the way, Nana," Cheng Fei suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Nagasaki Asuna looked up in a soft, sweet response.

"I recently read a comic and found the ending quite interesting. I'd like to talk to you about it." The boy's gaze drifted over the surrounding streets, his expression nonchalant.

"Cheng Fei not only reads comics with Ye Shuang, but he also shows them off in front of me. I'm jealous, really jealous." Nagasaki Asuna bit into a croquette, staring at him with feigned resentment, as if she could see through everything.

"If you're jealous, then let's not talk." The boy shut his mouth.

"Cheng Fei, I was wrong. Please talk to me, please talk to me." The girl quickly grabbed his arm and begged.

The boy remained calm and said, "Let me tell you about the plot of the comic first..."

"The Witch Who Makes Love Potion and the Serious Knight? I've already finished reading it in the last couple of days," the girl said quickly.

"what?"

"I don't even know what the comic Cheng Fei is reading is about. I won't allow that to happen." The girl raised her chin, somewhat smugly.

"I give up." The boy helplessly took a bite of cabbage tempura. "So what do you think about the ending? When I came here, Ye Shuang told me that she thinks it's better to let both sides be happy than for the knight to have to choose between the witch and the princess."

The girl blinked, took a bite of her croquette, and pondered for a moment, "That's true, but it's very difficult to do this in reality, after all..."

"Who's talking to you about reality? I'm talking about comics." The boy gave her a light but firm chop to the wrist.

"I understand." Nagasaki Asuna covered her head. "But even in the manga, I think it's hard to say if we look into it too closely. Putting aside things like whether to announce the marriage to the princess for the sake of the bigger picture, the more important question is whether the knight will be biased in the future."

"Nana, you really think a lot." The boy glanced at her sideways.

"Then I won't say anything." The girl shut her mouth and ate her croquette.

……

226. Nagasaki Asuna's Quantum Emotional Science

"Tell me about it," Cheng Fei said, looking at Nagasaki Asuna without changing his expression.

The girl then gave a soft hum, "To be specific, the reason the three of them can be together now is because they are in the honeymoon phase. The knight's feelings are very strong. If I were to quantify it, I would say that the witch and the princess have received more than 50% of the feelings. Of course, no one would be unhappy at this time."

"So this is how feelings can be quantified. Nana, you should create a quantum theory of feelings."

"Just saying, Cheng Fei, I hope you understand. Although the ending point is like this for the three of them, if we look further ahead, after the honeymoon period ends, it's hard to guarantee that the knight won't be biased. If it's only slightly biased, that's fine, like one side getting 60% and the other getting 40%." The girl gestured.

Cheng Fei was surprised, "You love-struck fool, you actually calculate things so meticulously."

"I'm not love-struck, Cheng Fei, you must be underestimating me, right?" The girl glared at him, feigning displeasure. "If the favoritism were to the point where one side is 70% and the other side is only 30%, someone might get hurt. At best, they'd argue and leave; at worst, they'd chop wood in the middle of the night. Then we could draw a Hades chapter in the comics."

"You are the future of Japanese manga, Nana," the boy exclaimed. "So you think as long as you don't show favoritism, everything will be fine?"

"I think it's too difficult to be impartial. The witch is good, and the princess is cute, but people always have their likes and dislikes. Just like some viewers prefer the witch and some prefer the princess, wouldn't the knights be the same?"

"After all, he is set as a proper knight, a very upright person, so he won't show favoritism."

That's correct.

"So you don't dislike the ending itself?" the boy said casually, looking at the street scene.

"If Cheng Fei doesn't dislike me, then I won't dislike him either." The girl bit into a croquette, making a crisp crunching sound.

The boy shrugged. "I don't care. I just chatted with Ye Shuang earlier, so I'm curious about what other girls think. Maybe I'll talk to Shen Xi about it when I get back, if I don't get scolded."

"She's definitely going to get scolded. She's using this as an excuse to make a fool of herself with ridiculous words to test people. She's just like that cowardly and despicable Cheng Feiyu." Nagasaki Asuna put on a stern face and spoke in the manner of a certain aloof girl.

"Nana, I hereby declare you the winner of the Shen Xi imitation contest." Cheng Fei clapped as he looked at her.

"And Shen Xi came in second?" The girl tilted her head.

"No, I'm second. She's at most third." Cheng Fei laughed.

Then Nagasaki Asuna smiled too.

A few minutes later, the girl clung to him, tiptoed closer, and asked, "So, Cheng Fei, are you planning to make me happy too? Can I level up now?"

"Comics are comics, and reality is reality. Please don't overinterpret it. Just be yourself and try your best to be a good idol, thank you." The boy pressed her down, speaking in a serious tone.

"Why do I still have to be an idol? When will this miserable life ever end?" Nagasaki Asuna slumped down in a dramatic manner and sighed heavily.

"That's enough." Cheng Fei was starting to lose his composure because of her acting.

……

The boy and girl wandered aimlessly through the streets. In the afternoon, Nagasaki Asuna took Cheng Fei to eat authentic eel rice, thus fulfilling their promise made in the electronics district.

At 6 p.m., Cheng Fei decided to go back.

When she opened the taxi door, she was attacked by Nagasaki Asuna.

The girl absorbed the antidote through the sweet aroma.

On a quiet street at dusk, the two stood next to a taxi and kissed.

The driver, with a gray beard, looked in the rearview mirror and smiled kindly before silently pressing the fare meter button.

Nagasaki Asuna was barely satisfied after spending around two thousand yen. She watched the boy get on the bus with heavy breathing and lingering reluctance, and he disappeared at the end of the road.

……

Cheng Fei returned to the hotel, where Ye Shuang was enjoying reading comics.

The idle young man noticed a new friend request on WeChat, with the nickname Kaya, which is actually Kato Ai.

He hesitated for a moment, but still clicked "accept".

Not long after, a message came from the other side.

Why did my brother delete me?

"Really? I probably accidentally cleaned up my friends list last night. Sorry, Ai."

"It's okay, brother."

Cheng Fei stared at the screen, his voice slightly choked with emotion.

"Brother, I will definitely get into Yinghua."

"come on"

The boy typed the words with trembling hands and put the phone aside.

Sure enough, he shouldn't do things like this so casually in the future. Now, even getting slightly close to a girl is considered a crime for him...

Lin Xuanqi returned late at night, and the exhausted girl kicked Cheng Fei away when he tried to approach her, then fell asleep immediately.

The next day, Lin Xuanqi changed into her usual outfit, wearing a loose top and hot pants with black tights, tied her hair in a single ponytail, and wore a large pair of sunglasses on her chest.

With Ye Shuang switching to her twin ponytail and white over-the-knee socks mode, the three of them had breakfast at the hotel.

"Xuanqi, don't you have to work anymore?" Cheng Fei asked curiously.

"It's over. The people below will finish up, and we'll have the results in a few days," Lin Xuanqi said casually as she ate a vegetable salad garnished with ham.

"So we can take a vacation now?" Cheng Fei asked, looking at the two of them.

Ye Shuang ignored him.

Lin Xuanqi put down her knife and fork, raised her head, and rested her chin on one hand. "Cheng Fei, I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead," the boy said, his expression hardening.

"I heard the person who delivered the accounts was a girl. Do you know her?" The girl's expression was unreadable.

"I don't know him." The boy shook his head like a rattle-drum.

Why would she help you deliver something if she doesn't know you?

“Look for someone honest on the street. Xuanqi, you know your boyfriend is just too handsome; no girl can refuse his advances.” The boy shook his head and sighed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuang paused for a moment while scooping the macaroni, but then continued enjoying her meal.

"You really know how to come up with a plan," Lin Xuanqi scoffed. "Then how did you know that Kishimoto was the problem?"

"Is there really something wrong with him?" Cheng Fei was taken aback.

"You don't know?" Lin Xuanqi raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know. I just looked at that pile of personnel files and thought he might do something underhanded to get promoted, so I was just being cautious."

"Then you just happened to be lucky."

"Well, not really, I just have a little bit of skill." The boy shook his head modestly.

"You did a good job this time." Lin Xuanqi continued eating her salad.

After breakfast, Lin Xuanqi put on sunglasses, and the three of them left the hotel together.

"Xuanqi, don't we need to bring bodyguards?" Cheng Fei looked behind him, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Aren't the two of you enough?" Lin Xuanqi asked, puzzled.

"That's true, I almost forgot about the glorious feat of Master Ye and I beating up a hundred extreme cultivators." The young man clicked his tongue in admiration.

"You're only capable because others underestimated you and didn't grab their weapons." Lin Xuanqi rolled her eyes at him.

"If they need to use weapons to deal with two high school students, they might as well quit Tokyo." Cheng Fei shook his head. "So, where are we going today?"

……

227. The choice is given to Cheng Fei.

"Xiao Shuang, lead the way." Lin Xuanqi looked to the other side.

Ye Shuang nodded, "Okay."

Under Cheng Fei's puzzled gaze, the girl with pigtails seemed to have a raging fire burning in her eyes.

So the three of them headed to... Akihabara.

Upon arriving at their destination, Ye Shuang moved quickly and purposefully, frantically buying comic book merchandise, with Cheng Fei and Lin Xuanqi following behind her hand in hand.

"Cheng Fei, it looks great, doesn't it?" Lin Xuanqi suddenly revealed a cruel smile.

"Huh? What's wrong?" the boy asked, looking bewildered.

"Keep pretending." Lin Xuanqi twisted his waist forcefully.

On the streets of Akihabara, for reasons unknown, many girls wearing masks and dressed in unusually attractive outfits such as maid outfits and over-the-knee socks stood on both sides of the road, holding flyers in their hands.

"Hiss... Xuanqi, it's a misunderstanding. What's so interesting about them? I didn't even notice them." The boy put his arm around her shoulder.

"Heh." The girl tightened her grip.
