I'll kill you after I finish this game!

It's even more intimidating than the way my senior looks when she's angry.

"Takiya, are you still interested in this kind of game?"

Seeing Takiya patiently playing that boring game, Fafnir asked in a very cold tone.

Fafnir, carrying the games and fan art he bought in one hand, approached Eriri and Kato Megumi's stall under their somewhat nervous gazes. He picked up Eriri's artwork, glanced at it, nodded, and bought it.

"Well, well~ I'm into both meat and vegetables, right? This game must have been designed and made by your team, bro?"

Wearing glasses, Takiya smiled as he tried out the game in front of him. After casually responding to Fafnir's words, he looked at Aki Tomoya beside him and asked a question.

He wasn't drawn here by the pretty girls, but by Aki Tomoya in front of him. Seeing how stubborn and hardworking this guy was at his game stall, which no one cared about, reminded him of his own high school and college days when he was full of enthusiasm.

After playing Aki Tomoya's game very seriously, she asked him some questions.

"Yes, yes, is there a problem with the game?"

When asked this question by a customer, Aki Tomoya responded somewhat flustered and nervously.

They completely ignored how much real effort they actually put into this game.

"For a beginner, your game is alright, but it lacked a bit of appeal and wow factor at the CM exhibition. The story is clearly well-written, and the art style is also excellent."

"However, you should know that merely being at a decent level is not enough for an event of CM's caliber."

After finishing his demo, Takiya adjusted his glasses and gave off a feeling that even Aki Tomokazu couldn't ignore. Even Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, who were standing next to him, couldn't help but be drawn to Takiya's words.

Both the writing and the illustrations were done by these two people, and Takiya could tell that.

The game is just okay, but in a place like the CM Expo with its huge crowds, the game's popularity is questionable.

It's just a decent game, nothing special.

Moreover, Raiden, the company behind Raiden, has also gotten involved in the gaming industry, thanks to the actions of their own boss and Dugu.

Many fans of Raiden Games and Dugu Laoshi's books came to the CM convention.

Aki Tomoya was extremely unlucky, he was caught in the wrong time, and Takiya knew this but didn't bring it up.

After saying this, Takiya symbolically bought the game and then disappeared into the crowd with Fafnir.

"...Isn't that enough?"

Aki Tomoya stared blankly at the crowd in front of him, then turned his gaze to the very popular location of the Wrath of God, his eyes behind his glasses gradually turning bitter.

He had no choice but to accept the setback, no matter how stubborn he was.

Seeing her childhood friend's dejected and defeated expression, Eriri really wanted to go up and say something arrogant to disrupt her current mood.

But the moment she made a move, Kasumigaoka Utaha, expressionless, grabbed her shoulder and glared at the fat Kasumigaoka. Kasumigaoka Utaha, however, remained expressionless and didn't argue with the blond-haired man. Looking at Aki Tomoya's dejected back, she coldly said:

"Let him experience it alone; the lesson of his first failure can become a valuable experience for him."

If possible, Kasumigaoka Utaha would prefer that Aki Tomoya give up so that her feelings could be reciprocated.

Although she herself wanted to give Ethics a sharp tongue, it was best for him to swallow this lesson of failure.

Upon hearing this, Michiru Hyodo and Megumi Kato exchanged a glance without saying a word. Eriri glared angrily at Utaha Kasumigaoka and Tomoya Aki, but in the end, she didn't go forward to comfort them. After letting out a cold snort, she continued to work on selling game doujinshi.

"How much are these two comic books and that penguin figurine? I'll buy them."

Suddenly, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was impatiently shaking her leg, and Eriri, who was selling doujinshi, seemed to hear a familiar voice.

After instinctively turning their gazes in interest, the two of them were immediately astonished and their eyes widened.

The person who appeared at the stall not far from them was Lei Zhe, whom they knew all too well. Beside him was a silver-haired girl with exquisite and breathtaking beauty, dressed in a pure white dress that symbolized purity and innocence, and wearing a large white sun hat.

Many people, regardless of gender, wanted to come up and take a photo with Xiaoyou after seeing her beautiful and delicate appearance without any makeup.

However, upon seeing the imposing man standing next to the girl, he stopped in his tracks. Didn't he see the silver-haired girl and the aloof old man holding hands intimately?

If you go up and bother her, aren't you afraid that the 'Saiyan' next to the silver-haired girl will get violent?

Why don't you dare disturb Lei Zhe?

Because Rai Zhe's image was also slightly modified to match the atmosphere of the exhibition, his jet-black hair stood up straight with only a section of bangs, a very eye-catching Saiyan hairstyle, although it looked a lot like a delinquent punk.

However, when it comes to the charismatic Lei Zhe, no one would think that way.

Yes, that's the hairstyle of a strong person (confirmed!).

He was wearing the traditional clothing of the Metamorans, which appeared after Gotenks and Gogeta fused together in Dragon Ball. He wore a clean and unique sleeveless short jacket on top and slightly loose pure white pants on the bottom.

She wore light blue leggings around her ankles and calves, and her waist was also tightly bound together with a blue cloth belt.

The eye-catching jacket couldn't hide Lei Zhe's handsome and upright figure at all. His strong and powerful physique with its dense muscles made onlookers swallow their saliva in fear.

The other person wasn't the kind of muscular giant; every muscle on his body was just right, without giving off an inflated feeling.

However, the oppressive atmosphere was not diminished at all, so it's normal that they didn't dare to come forward.

Many women who saw Lei Zhe's handsome face and perfect figure swallowed their saliva and held cameras dared not come forward because of the beautiful Xiao You next to him and the sense of oppression he exuded.

The Dragon Ball manga hasn't even reached the Z era yet, but he's already wearing this outfit, which prevents people from feeling like a Saiyan is right in front of them.

Lei Zhe was wearing black wristbands on both wrists, and his other hand was clasped with the hand of the beautiful and petite girl next to him, just like a couple.

She noticed the male stall owner unconsciously swallowing, and his eyes filled with fear and nervousness as he pointed to the items that Xiaoyou had her eye on.

"1. The total is 3728 yen. You can round it up to 3700 yen."

Damn, is this some gangster boss out having fun with his girlfriend?!

Some of the male stall owners, who were so nervous they were stuttering, were truly on the verge of tears. They had initially found Xiao You, who was so beautiful and charming, attractive at their stall.

As a result, when this man stood next to the young woman, he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He just hoped that the old man in front of him would finish buying his things and leave as soon as possible.

After paying, he took what Xiaoyou wanted, handing her only the penguin figurine while he carried the other things for her.

"Is there anything else you want?"

With a blank expression, Lei Zhe saw Xiao You still looking at the stall and opened his mouth to ask in a puzzled voice.

Xiao You's power is still within him. He is able to speak now thanks to his own invention, a voice-generating device that he places on his throat to replace vocalization.

So when he spoke, he still had a blank expression.

"that."

Xiaoyou pointed to the DVD player not far away. It was a comedy film that she could only watch on a specific channel on TV. Now that she saw the DVD player, she wanted to buy it so she could watch it whenever she wanted.

Rezhe nodded, and before he could speak, the stall owner picked up the DVD and stated the price, which Rezhe readily bought.

Afterwards, Raiji and Yu left amidst the silent and surprised gazes of Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Lei Zhe: Are you attracted to girls who are student council presidents...?

Aki Tomoya himself saw a man who instilled fear in him to the point of psychological trauma. Although he was incredibly amazed by the silver-haired girl next to him, who looked like she had stepped out of a manga, the feeling was even stronger than when he saw Megumi on the cherry blossom slope.

However, this sense of amazement was immediately overwhelmed by the fear that came from Lei Zhe. He cowardly hid under the strange, silent, and disappointed gazes of the girls until Lei Zhe left, and only then did he dare to come out with a sigh of relief.

The strange thing came from her cousin, Michiru Hyodo, who had no idea what story Aki Tomoya had with that tall, imposing man from earlier.

Kato Megumi and the others were more aware of the situation and were somewhat disappointed by Aki Tomoya's terrified appearance earlier.

Aside from Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, who are still unable to fully let go of the matter between Raiji and Aki Tomoya, Kato Megumi is relatively rational.

You can recruit these people, but you actually have the audacity to invite that national treasure-level Shiina Mashiro? I really don't know what to say about Aki Tomoya.

However, it was quite surprising to see Raiichi, the top student who was so close to Mashiro at school, also here, dressed in such an eye-catching outfit.

Those muscles don't look good at all; Eriri saw with her own eyes how he crushed Aki Tomoya's glasses into fine dust last time.

So, that's definitely not some kind of dead muscle developed through training; it's more like something used for...fighting?

Eriri could only come up with this one exaggerated point.

Besides this surprising aspect, the silver-haired girl beside the other person was equally captivating. Apart from her figure, she was more stunning than any of the women present, and her demeanor exuded a noble princess-like aura.

In terms of temperament, Eriri, a girl with a somewhat privileged family background, felt inferior. Even if Eriri's figure wasn't as graceful as Kasumigaoka Utaha's, her overall qualities completely surpassed those of any of them.

"Holding hands like that, she must be that guy's girlfriend."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression was somewhat complicated, but she no longer harbored the hostility she had shown towards Raizer last time. She pursed her lips slightly, showing great interest in the girl next to Raizer.

What kind of girl could be so close to this aloof and unapproachable guy at school?

Kasumigaoka Utaha, a novelist, is very interested in the story of how the two get along.

Although she still harbored resentment towards Raiji because of what happened last time, she had let go of some of it. Under Eriri's merciless words, she had also become more accepting of Raiji's threatening actions towards Aki Tomoya.

She knew she should thank Reiji for blocking Aki Tomoya's actions in this regard; Shiina Mashiro was not like them.

If it weren't for Raiji's intervention, and Aki Tomoya had continued to relentlessly pursue Mashiro, she might have really died.

"Shiina Mashiro at school is very dependent on this guy; he even makes her lunches by hand. I thought these two were..."

Eriri glanced at Aki Tomoya, who was relieved, and sighed as well. This guy was still as willful as ever. He was really unlucky to have run into Raiji, who was such a tough nut to crack.

However, based on rumors at school and Eriri's admiration for Mashiro, who has achieved remarkable success in the field of painting, Eriri is also paying close attention to her.

Hasn't Raiji and Mashiro made any significant progress in their relationship? They were confessed to by Natsukawa Masuzu at school, and Shiina Mashiro is very clingy to him.

"Could this guy be two-timing?"

Eriri inexplicably thought of this plot, and the extraordinary girl next to Raiji was definitely not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people cannot cultivate that kind of noble and elegant temperament, and even the eldest daughter of the Xia Chuan family seems to be much weaker than the other party in terms of overall temperament.

If Raiji really did that, Eriri might do something outrageous for her idol, but that's just her guess. She shouldn't interfere in other people's affairs based on mere speculation.

Yes, it's definitely not because I'm afraid of being beaten up by Lei Zhe, absolutely not!

Her father had talked to her about the existence of a girl named Shiina Mashiro since she was a child. After learning about Mashiro's past and amazing achievements, and after seeing Mashiro's paintings with her own father, she was very envious and longed for her.

Mashiro's achievements prevented her from feeling jealous; the gap between them was simply too vast.

The other party is a world-class painter, while Eriri is just a Kashiwagi Eri who is relatively famous in the field of Japanese doujinshi.

Can we even compare? Do we even have the right to compare?

Although she didn't leave a good impression on Mashiro last time, Eriri still has a one-sided feeling of admiration and longing for Mashiro.

"That guy had a great body, and his girlfriend was so cute."
