Studying in Tokyo: From Provoking to Succubus

Chapter 14 Hori Natsumi's Secret

Akihabara, Tokyo, is located in Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

This is a magical place, a holy land of the two-dimensional world, gathering two-dimensional fans from home and abroad.

Here, you won’t be looked at strangely for wearing cosplay costumes.

No one will despise you even if you shout "I love beautiful girls!"

All fans of the second dimension can freely display their hobbies, and no one will call you a "fat otaku".

Li Xin and Hori Natsumi walked out of the station. The streets were filled with the atmosphere of the second dimension, and huge anime posters were hung on the tall buildings on both sides.

The most popular ones are Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Pillar Training Arc and Chainsaw Man: The Movie.
Li Xin was dazzled by the huge and exquisite posters. Each one was so beautiful that it was breathtaking. One pair of eyes was not enough to see them all.

Li Xin raised his head and looked around.

You can also see huge posters of two-dimensional games from China, such as Yuanshen and Xingtie, which make you feel like you are in the two-dimensional world.

"Li Xinjun, don't be so excited, just move forward." Hori Natsumi looked at Li Xin helplessly and shouted.

"Okay." Li Xin quickly followed Hori Natsumi.

"Li Xinjun, don't look at me like this. I'm actually a stay-at-home girl. I stay at home every day watching anime, comics, and light novels. I can read for the whole day and when I come to my senses, it's already dark." Hori Natsumi said.

"can not tell."

Hori Natsumi is the class monitor at school. She is very popular, smart, and capable, and she doesn't look like a stay-at-home girl at all.

"Because I hide it very deeply, I rarely talk about the topic of the second dimension with my classmates." Hori Natsumi said, then turned back and laughed: "But I talked to you, how about it, do you feel that you are special and feel excited?"

Li Xin smiled politely: "A little bit."

Hori Natsumi, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, walked backwards facing Li Xin, with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face.

"Since we have met, I will show you my secret."

secret!?
Li Xin's heart was beating fast.

A girl will definitely feel good about a boy who is willing to tell her secrets, but Li Xin knows that the cute girl in front of him has a different sexual orientation, so he won't be complacent and have illusions.

However, since she told him the secret, it showed that she trusted him, which made him very happy.

Then, Hori Natsumi led the way, she seemed very familiar with Akihabara.

Natsumi Hori stopped in front of a well-known comic book store. This comic book store is the largest comic book store in Akihabara. All comics within the past fifty years can be found here. No matter they are out of print or limited edition, they are all collected by the owner of this store and displayed in the safe counter to attract customers. This also makes it the most famous comic book store in Akihabara.

Natsumi Hori walked to the most popular comics area at the entrance of the store.

This is an area that sells popular works that are currently being serialized.

There are a lot of people here, choosing the comic books they want from the bookshelf.

Hori Natsumi's slender fingers swept across the comic book covers, finally stopping on a beautifully drawn love comic.

Hori Natsumi picked up the comic.

Li Xin took a curious look. The comic was called "Love Hate" and the author was: Tiandao Mingnanhua
Hori Natsumi opened the comic and started reading.

Li Xin was very curious, so he picked up a book and started reading.

I was surprised to find that this is not a boys' manga or a girls' manga, but an 18-director youth manga. The content is not so childish and the story is very dark, but the painting style is very beautiful. As an 18-director manga, those awkward scenes do appear.

Hori Natsumi closed the book and playfully put out her hand to cover the comic book in Li Xin's hand.

"Stop looking, pervert, this is 18-direction." She said. Li Xin thought, didn't you see it first? And it's lesbian, which is what you like.

"The style of painting is very beautiful. Is this what you like? I think I'm also a little interested. I want to buy a set and take it home to see it." Li Xin said.

"This book is being serialized and has already been serialized to volume 4." Hori Natsumi held up four fingers and said, with a very recommendatory tone.

"That's quite a lot, I can read it to my heart's content. Can you tell me the general plot?" Li Xin asked. He was really interested in this comic.

Just based on the beautiful cover and exquisite painting style, he wanted to read this comic.

Li Xin turned the comic book to the first page which introduced the author.

Tendo Minaka is a mature female cartoonist with superb painting skills and a perfect grasp of the plot. The most eye-catching plot is the inner struggle of each woman in her works.

"The general plot is that the heroine is close to various girls." Hori Natsumi raised the corners of her mouth and stared at him teasingly.

"That's good." Li Xin smiled slightly.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. This, is me." Hori Natsumi stretched out her slender index finger with light blue ocean-colored nail polish and pointed at the author introduction on the first page.

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her in surprise.

"Tendo Akinahana?"

"Well, this is my pen name, and this is the comic I drew. What do you think? Are you surprised? This is my secret." Hori Natsumi put her hands on her hips and raised her chin proudly.

Li Xin couldn't help but open the comic again to look at the exquisite painting skills and amazing storyboards. He hadn't read the plot yet, but just looking at the style, he could tell that this was a comic with a depressing plot.

"No one knows my identity, and the editor at the publishing house has also helped to conceal it for me. After all, I'm the princess of the Crimson Group, and he will be thinking about it. Apart from the editor, you're the only one who knows about it. My parents don't know, so you have to keep it a secret for me." Horika put her finger in front of her lips and smiled.

A secret only he knows
"Of course!" Li Xin nodded repeatedly, looking at the comic book in his hand.

"I'll go buy a set first, wait for me." Li Xin took volumes 1 to 4 of "Love and Hate" and ran to the cashier to pay.

Hori Natsumi stood behind him with a smile on her face.

Li Xin handed the money to the clerk, stuffed the book into his bag, and turned to leave.

"I finished watching the whole thing in one night!" said Li Xin.

Hori Natsumi smiled but said nothing.

"Let's go and visit wherever you want. I came to Akihabara today just to see how my comics are selling, and they're pretty good." Hori Natsumi said.

"I'm planning on buying some figures, then going to a maid cafe, and then going to a comic convention to watch cosplay."

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

The two of them headed to their first destination together - the figurine shop.

Various exquisite character figures are displayed in the transparent glass display cabinets. A palm-sized character figure costs eight or nine thousand yen each, which is equivalent to 500 RMB. A larger figure, the size of two palms, costs directly up to fifty or sixty thousand, which is equivalent to 3000 RMB. It has to be said that it is ridiculously expensive.

Li Xin wandered back and forth in the figure shop, looking for a figure he liked.

Hori Natsumi followed beside him, staring at the 18X beautiful girl figures in various poses, and her eyes were full of love. This is what a fujoshi is.

Li Xin turned his head and glanced at Hori Natsumi.

A beautiful girl who likes the ACG world just like him. What a beautiful girl! He would be very happy if he could date her.
