My wife is the stand-in.

There was Amanosaki, the girl with sparkling eyes looking at her idol from the crowd who got two autographs, and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Shi Yu's performance greatly exceeded Lin Shuyu's expectations. This girl, who should have been showing maturity and elegance in front of everyone, was now enthusiastically holding the racket and using her superb table tennis skills to overwhelm the competition.

Amanosaki watched the girl bullying others based on her childhood memories of ping-pong, her eyes gleaming with excitement, and gently shook her head:

"It doesn't mean anything now, but it will in the future."

"How to say?"

"When my anime and movie come out, Onsen Kai will be remembered in history."

Amanosaki sighed.

There's a common formula for Japanese anime series that netizens have summarized into a catchy rhyme: "Fan service always comes in episodes 7 and 8." This means that when an anime series reaches episodes 7 and 8, it often provides viewers with a glimpse of the main female characters' bodies.

These scenes are usually set at the beach or while soaking in hot springs.

The former is called the swimsuit episode, and the latter is called the hot spring episode... cough cough, there are a lot of tricks we can play with these two episodes.

However, among these various activities, there is one famous scene that has remained popular at hot springs for a long time: after bathing, everyone must first drink Musashi milk in one go, and then the men and women will start playing ping-pong.

This scene has also appeared in "Detective Conan", "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend", and even the Japanese drama "The Gate".

While surfing the internet, Amanosaki saw a senior LAP sharing her experience, saying that the smooth, wet skin and breasts occasionally revealed from the fluttering yukata of women playing ball after a hot spring are one of the ultimate forms of eroticism.

It doesn't matter if people in this world don't understand now; Amanosaki will make everyone understand through his works.

He will carry on the legacy of anime and manga culture to the very end.

Just as he was lost in his fantasies, a chorus of exclamations of "Oh no!" and "What happened?!" came from the other side of the ping-pong table.

Amanosaki was so startled that he thought Utaha's yukata had fallen off.

But in some ways, the reality was pretty much what he expected.

The large yukata fell to the ground, covering the small tuft of flesh.

The little girl squirmed inside her yukata, making cute, childish "hmm~!" sounds, tinged with anger and annoyance.

Amanosaki quickly looked at the wall clock; the hour hand had already completed a full rotation and was pointing back to the large number twelve.

He and Lin Shuyu had been playing pranks on each other for so long that they had forgotten the time!

Chapter 142: My Girlfriend Can't Be a Lolita!

The yukata was all wrinkled and crumpled, but no figure or flesh color could be seen inside. Amanosaki already had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, after the yukata wiggled for a moment, a head popped out amidst the fans' "Oh~" sounds.

Her white, medium-length hair was styled with two purple highlights hanging down her temples, and two pairs of white jade-colored horns, like those of a minotaur in anime, pointing upwards and downwards respectively. A black bow hair clip held down her medium-length hair, making the slightly strange hairstyle more approachable and cute.

Her enormous eyes took up a quarter of her face, blinking rapidly with a look of bewilderment and innocence... even more innocent than Ding Zhen.

With a petite figure, short and stubby legs and feet, and outstretched arms that wobbled as they tried to maintain their balance, this little guy was caught on a yukata by one corner, making him unsteady on his feet.

A purple, fluffy tail swayed from side to side as it shook, trying its best not to fall over and embarrass itself in public.

In the struggle, a set of clothing with a strong ethnic style was revealed.

The moment Amanosaki saw the little guy, he was struck dumb.

"This is..." He was extremely surprised and couldn't pronounce the girl's name for a moment.

Wow! It's Kanna-chan!

Several aspiring otaku who followed Amanosaki's posts immediately exclaimed the girl's name, their eyes fixed on her, some even looking at Amanosaki with excitement:

"Stand user master! Is your superpower really as described online—able to transform into the characters in your own works?"

"Can you transform your superpower into Lady Machima? Waaaaah, I want to taste the soles of Lady Machima's feet!"

'Don't use such vulgar language...' Amanosaki retorted.

"Don't say such vulgar things!" A girl pushed aside the male fans in front of Amanosaki and pleaded in the cutest voice she could muster: "Please let her become Lord Hitsugaya Toshiro! Lord Aizen will do too, please, this is my only wish in this life!"

The girl clasped her hands together in a pleading manner.

"Wow... that's a really strong 'clamping' sound." Amanosaki's face scrunched up in disgust.

"Can I become Lord Sasuke?"

"Can I transform into Ai Haibara? I'm about the same size as Kanna-chan."

"Please! Let her become Shimakaze! Sailor uniform is the eternal goddess!"

"You're all wrong! The beast-eared loli is the world's treasure! Turn her into Laffey! She absolutely has to be equipped with a ship cannon!" someone screamed.

The otaku surrounded Amanosaki, chanting a string of names, leaving the ordinary fans on the outside completely bewildered. They quickly followed the clues to find Amanosaki's post and soon found the character illustration.

Kanna Kamui

Dragons, especially young dragons (conservatively estimated to be several hundred years old), love to eat and rely on electricity to survive.

Below this character illustration, a link was highlighted in the top comments.

It was Kasumigaoka Utaha who wrote "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Diary" that morning. It was a fan fiction story about an adult female dragon who called herself Tohru, who transformed into a dragon girl and worked as a maid in Kobayashi's house, while also educating the curious, mischievous, and adorable Kanna about the rules of human society.

As a result, the way these ordinary fans looked at Kanna became increasingly strange.

Someone had already crouched down and approached Kanna, wanting to reach out and pinch Kanna's chubby little face.

But he was scared away by Kanna's menacing "Awooo" as she bared her teeth.

After all, it's a dragon.

"Waaah, Kanna-chan is so cute! Look, I bought chocolates! Let me pet you, and I'll give you all of them!" A girl, still unwilling to give up, waved the chocolates with starry eyes.

Others followed suit, quickly grabbing sausages, fruit candies, and soft bread bought from the vending machine to tempt them. Kanna, tempted, bit her fingers, wanting to scare them away but reluctant to part with the snacks, caught in a dilemma.

The little girl's conflicted and complicated expression aroused the maternal instincts of countless girls, causing them to scream.

At this point, Amanosaki himself was in dire straits, making it extremely difficult for him to protect Kanna from the clutches of her strange older sisters.

"enough!"

A gentle voice, spoken with great effort, rang out amidst the clamor.

Lin Shuyu placed her hands between the people in front of her and easily pushed through the crowd.

She was wearing a yukata, with her hands hanging down at her lower abdomen, her back straight, exuding the elegance of a formal dress.

This is probably why people around her moved aside even though she didn't exert any force.

In terms of temperament, they had an overwhelming advantage.

The hall fell silent for a moment, and even Amanosaki got a chance to catch his breath.

Lin Shuyu walked into the crowd, gently picked up Kangna, and let Kangna struggle in her arms, kicking her with her short legs, but Lin Shuyu didn't care.

She supported Connor's bottom with one hand and wrapped her other arm around Connor's chest, so that the little one could sit comfortably in her lap without falling off.

This set of movements is extremely skillful, clearly demonstrating extensive experience in childcare.

Kanna nestled in Lin Shuyu's not-so-full breasts, her back pressed against her, feeling extremely comfortable. She quickly quieted down, her small hands gripping Lin Shuyu's, her bright eyes looking at Amanosaki.

That means you want a hug.

Seeing everyone's eyes on her, and each one wanting to pinch Kanna, Lin Shuyu gently shook her wrist, using the silent gesture to coax Kanna, and smiled politely:

"The letter of thanks and certificate of merit jointly signed by the government and the Wudang branch have arrived. We have also arranged an interview vehicle. Please go and collect them. Interview opportunities are limited, so please come on a first-come, first-served basis."

This tactic of diverting the trouble eastward worked perfectly; as soon as everyone heard about Linjiang's outfit, half of their desire to play with Kanna vanished.

Upon hearing that interviews were on a first-come, first-served basis, they immediately dropped their snacks and swarmed towards the door.

Only then was Amanosaki's crisis completely resolved.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and gave Lin Shuyu a grateful smile:

"Thank you so much, Miss Lin."

Lin Shuyu turned to the side, avoiding Amanosaki's attempt to take Kanna's hand.

"Um... Miss Lin?"

Amanosaki was a little embarrassed.

Lin Shuyu held Kanna in her arms, stroking Kanna's soft hair with one hand. Kanna was happily munching on two pieces of soft bread, blinking at the two of them, not saying a word.

"She's called Kanna now? Your tastes are really strange."

These words made Amanosaki lose face, and he tried his best to defend himself: "I'm not a lolicon, I'm really innocent. My ideal type randomly transforms into female characters in my works, from young to old. There's no reason why I can't transform into a child just because I've transformed into an old person before?"

“That makes sense.” Lin Shuyu tentatively agreed with Amanosaki’s theory.

"so……"

"No." Lin Shuyu refused decisively before he could finish speaking.

"why?"

"She is a minor now."

"But she's my girlfriend, and she's also my superpower. Can't I hug my girlfriend?"

“It is precisely because of her complicated relationship with you that we cannot entrust her to you. Heaven knows what you might do to her,” Lin Shu said sternly.

Amanosaki watched as Lin Shuyu held Kanna tightly, a strange look in her eyes, while she touched Kanna's head and secretly pinched her cheek.

You just want to pet the dragon, don't you... Amanosaki rubbed his forehead, utterly speechless.

Lin Shuyu also realized that her tone was a bit off. She coughed, her face flushed, and tried to calm herself down:

"So, until she turns back, I will stay with her to make sure that you, the rising star of the Yushan branch, don't make a big mistake due to a moment of irrationality."

"It's settled then." She made the final decision, rubbing her face against Kanna's crumb-covered face. "This person is dangerous, isn't he?"

Lin Shuyu herself didn't realize that this person, whom she originally regarded as a rival in love, had unknowingly conquered her with his unconscious cuteness.

Kanna chewed on her bread, a look on her face that said, 'I'm so cute, everyone should love me like this.'

Chapter 143: Amanosaki, you bastard!

Lin Shuyu's words practically sealed Amanosaki's fate, denying him any chance to be alone with Kanna today.
