What's more, there is a band called Ending over there in Fanxing. For future game production, it seems to be a good choice to cultivate a band as early as possible?
Putting on a helmet and getting on his motorcycle, Yuu Muto drove towards Akihabara following the map navigation on his mobile phone.
To put it bluntly, Akihabara is actually just a commercial street with a strong two-dimensional atmosphere located in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.
By the way, Toyonosaki High School is also located in Chiyoda Ward. Muto Yu's home is actually not far from Akihabara, and it only takes half an hour to walk.
But if you ride a bike, you can shorten this time to less than ten minutes, and it doesn't require much effort, so Muto Yu naturally chose to ride a bike.
He parked the motorcycle in a nearby parking lot. The current time was 7:45. Muto Yuben thought that Akihabara would be very quiet when he came here at this time, but when he got here, he found that it was not particularly quiet here.
Most of the shops are not open for business yet, but the few that are open still have many tourists coming in and out.
Most people carry a large-capacity backpack, but they don’t know what’s inside, or whether they are planning to buy something to put in it.
Muto Yu was not interested in these. He just strolled along the pedestrian street, first looking at what kind of shops were on both sides of the street, and then went into the commercial building to see what was there.
Maid cafes, butler cafes, cat girl cafes, cat and dog cafes... There are so many different types of cafes that you can see them everywhere.
There are also various model and figurine stores, theme stores of various major IPs, and various illustrations and promotional advertisements of the industry hanging on high-rise buildings.
Although Yu Muto has hardly heard of many of the anime and games here, he has to admit that the two-dimensional atmosphere here is indeed extremely strong.
After a quick stroll outside, Yuya Muto walked into the bookstore out of curiosity. It was frequented by many tourists wearing masks and walking in a hurry.
Then he understood why everyone else was wearing masks, carrying opaque backpacks, and looking so hurried.
Because this is a bookstore that specializes in selling restricted novels and comics, the lowest level works are 16+.
Muto Yu felt that he was a bit careless. At least he should have prepared a mask to wear before coming in. It was somewhat embarrassing to just walk in without any cover.
However, thinking about his recent decision to thicken his skin, Muto Yu gritted his teeth and decided to pretend to be calm and go buy two comics. Gradually, he got used to various scenes, and his skin naturally became thicker.
Thinking of this, Muto Yu pretended to be calm and followed the instructions, heading towards the 18+ comics section. The first thing that caught his eye was the work of the famous Kashiwagi Eri.
He quickly scanned the various works, picked out two that interested him, and was about to go to the checkout counter to pay. When he turned around, his steps suddenly stopped.
Because Yu Muto met an acquaintance, this is also the protagonist of the original work where he knows the other person but the other person does not know him.
The identity of the protagonist who appears in such a place is actually obvious - Sawamura Eriri, who has the pen name Kashiwagi Eri.
At the comic convention last weekend, Yucai Muto met the other party's mother, Sayuri Sawamura, and also bought a masterpiece drawn by the other party.
However, the occasion was not right and there was no suitable excuse to start a conversation, so Muto Yuya just stared at the other person for a moment and then continued to walk to the cashier to pay.
Chapter 40 Eriri: My Brain is Trembling
It was not until checkout time that Muto Yu understood why most of the tourists entering and leaving this store were carrying a backpack.
"Hello, a clear plastic bag is ten yen, an opaque plastic bag is fifty yen, and an opaque cloth tote bag is one hundred yen. Which one would you like?"
The middle-aged store manager looked at Muto Yu in front of him with a happy smile on his face, but he fell silent after hearing these words.
"Your price is so shady."
"The prices are clearly marked. The prices of various packaging are clearly written here. Of course, customers can also choose not to use the packaging bags. This is not forced sales."
Looking at the store manager's smile, Muto Yu opened his mouth, but finally chose the 100-yen cloth handbag. At least this one was durable and not a low-quality product.
"Okay, that's xx yen in total. Welcome to come next time."
Muto Yu paid the money with an expressionless face. He couldn't just take these two books out and show them off on the street. That would be too unsocial.
However, after this little episode, he didn't feel embarrassed anymore. Is this what they call diverting attention?
Thinking of this, Muto Yu pushed open the door and was about to leave when he heard a conversation coming from behind him.
"You can't check out these things!"
"Eh? Why?!"
"You're not eighteen yet, are you? These are 18+ items. It doesn't mean you can't buy them just because you're not old enough."
"Who said that? I'm already in my twenties. I just look younger because I take good care of myself!"
Wearing a mask, Eriri anxiously argued with the shop owner, saying she had been to this shop several times in the past, and the previous owner had always turned a blind eye to such things?!
"Then show me something that can prove your age, like a driver's license or even a university ID."
"I...I forgot to bring it, but I'm really eighteen years old."
"No matter what you say, the law stipulates that you are under 18 years old, so I cannot buy these for you."
“But it could be sold before, right?”
"The past was the past, and the present is the present. If you can't show anything to prove your age, just buy these things and come back tomorrow. Tomorrow is when my wife will come to look after the store."
"Hey! Why are you so stubborn? You won't even take the business that's right here?!"
The owner's behavior made Eriri laugh out of anger. She really didn't expect to meet such a stubborn guy.
"Not only am I unyielding, I'm also incredibly serious. From now on, when I'm in charge of the shop, remember to bring some kind of ID. Otherwise, I'll doubt you're even sixteen years old."
"You... really pissed me off!"
Eriri couldn't hold it in any longer, and Yuu Muto, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing. This scene was really too funny.
"What are you laughing at!"
Hearing other people's laughter, Eriri couldn't hold it in any longer and glared at Muto Yu fiercely. Then the shop owner next to her started talking.
"Also, little girl, you should read less BL comics in the future. If outsiders find out, you'll be isolated."
After hearing the owner's words, Muto Yu was stunned for a moment, then walked from the side of the store entrance to the cashier counter. After seeing that Eriri wanted to buy that kind of comics, a strange look appeared on his face.
It's not that he misunderstood that the other party was a fujoshi. Having read the original novel of "Borrowing Girlfriend", Yu Muto naturally knew that Sayuri Sawamura was the fujoshi comics fan, and he often asked Eriri to help him run errands to buy various books.
But this strange look made Eriri's mentality explode even more.
"you……"
Really, I wanted to curse, but I held back in the end because Yuu Muto was too intimidating in size.
He is a tall man of 1.8 meters, and through his thin coat you can vaguely see the outline of his strong but not exaggerated muscles.
Compared with the other party, Eriri, who is only 1.58 meters tall and has a petite and slender figure, really has no intention of resisting.
So it’s better not to swear. If you make the other person angry, things will be terrible.
"Okay, shopkeeper, just consider these things as my purchases. Is that okay?"
I have no idea of my own identity in this world and am only sixteen years old. Subconsciously, I still think of myself as the college student who just graduated in my previous life.
"That's fine too, just pay."
The owner nodded, then stretched out his hand to Muto Yu and asked him for money, which stunned him and Eriri who was standing beside him.
"No, what money do you want from me?"
"You buy it, so of course you pay for it."
"But I bought it on her behalf. You should ask her for the money."
"She's under 18, so we can't sell her to her."
Only after speaking to the other party in person did Muto Yu realize that the owner was indeed very stubborn, or perhaps he was just trying to have fun.
"give me money."
Giving up on continuing to argue with the deliberately irritating shop owner, Yuu Muto extended his hand directly to Eriri, who couldn't help laughing when she saw the scene.
"Oh, here you go."
He obediently handed the cash he was going to pay to Muto Yu, who then handed the money to the store owner.
After giving the change, the other party handed it to Yuu Muto, who then passed it to Eriri.
It was something that could be done in one go, but they had to trouble the middleman, Muto Yu. In the end, Muto Yu walked out of the store with Eriri. Thinking about what had just happened, it was both ridiculous and laughable.
"Um...thank you so much for just now."
"You're welcome. We often encounter difficulties when we're out and about. We should help each other as much as we can. Besides, you look very familiar to me."
"What is this? Such a clichéd pick-up line. If you want to chat up other girls in the future, don't use such tactics."
Eriri didn't take Muto Yu's words seriously at all, and just regarded it as a clichéd pick-up line.
"I'm not trying to flirt with you, but I really feel like you look familiar."
"Okay, then tell me, where have you seen me?"
Seeing that the other party refused to admit it and pretended to be in deep thought, Eriri, who was wearing a mask, couldn't help but smile and shook her head, and then chose to ruthlessly expose the other party, letting Muto Yuya experience the feeling of being criticized.
“Online.”
"Online... the answer is too vague and perfunctory."
Eriri couldn't help but laugh. Although she could still press on with the victory, considering that the other party had just helped her out, she should just stop at this point.
Thinking of this, Eriri taught Muto Yu in the tone of an experienced person.
"So, don't use this clichéd pick-up line anymore. No girls are buying it anymore. And if you try to defend your story after being exposed, it's really..."
Before she could finish her words, she saw Yu Muto pointing his phone screen towards her, and the next moment, Eriri felt her brain trembling.
Chapter 41: Ying Lili gets angry out of shame
Of course, it wasn't some strange development of the hypnosis app. What made Eriri's brain tremble was the picture on the screen of Muto Yu's phone.
She was wearing the first-year high school uniform of Toyonosaki High School, had golden twintails, and was holding painting tools in her arms. There were two black-haired passers-by in the picture.
It was this picture that interrupted Eriri's unfinished words. Although she was still wearing a mask, Muto Yu could feel the girl's wildly changing emotions from her exposed eyes.
Although there was no movement and no specific facial expression could be seen, through the pair of beautiful blue eyes, one could still feel the other person's chaotic mood.
This is what they say, eyes are the windows to the soul, right?!
"You...where did this come from? A voyeur? No, why are you showing me a picture of a stranger?"
Halfway through her speech, Eriri realized something was wrong and quickly changed her words, trying to deny that she was not the same person in the photo. After all, she was still wearing a mask.
"Sawamura-kun, there's no need to pretend like this anymore. What you just said has exposed everything."
Looking at Eriri who was still trying to resist and refuse to admit it, Muto Yu smiled playfully, and then continued to explain under the other party's increasingly vigilant gaze.
"As for the photos, I didn't take any secret photos. Didn't I tell you before that I saw you online? These are the photos I found on the Toyosaki High School forum."
"Uh……"
After hearing Yu Muto's explanation, Eriri realized that she seemed to be making a big deal out of nothing. After all, she was known as the "Ace of the Art Department" and "The Golden Legend of Toyogasaki" in Toyogasaki High School. She was also known as the "Two Beauties of Private Toyogasaki" together with the sophomore Kasumigaoka Utaha.
It's perfectly normal for Eriri's photos to be circulating on the school forum.
"But it's really hard to imagine that the young lady who is so gentle and quiet in school is actually a fujoshi who likes BL comics in private."
"No, that's not right. I don't know that girl named Eriri!"
Eriri, who was still stubborn, tried to continue struggling, and then she saw a look of surprise flash across Muto Yu's eyes.
"Eriri-san, I never mentioned the name Eriri just now. How did you know this name? Can you give me a reasonable excuse?"
"Don't call me by my first name, it's very rude. And doesn't the post say the person's name is Sawamura Eriri?"
Eriri's brain was working at an unprecedented speed, trying to dissuade Yu Muto from his thoughts. However, this excuse she came up with in a hurry was obviously not very rigorous.
"But what I showed you was a full-screen picture. There wasn't any text on it?"
"Ahem, actually I know the girl in the photo, so I know her name. I'm actually her cousin, so I look familiar to you."
Seeing that her excuses were exposed again, Eriri started to make up excuses, but how could Muto Yu possibly believe such excuses?
"Alright, alright, whatever you say is fine. However, Eriri-san's cousin is actually a fujoshi who likes BL comics. This news will probably cause a lot of discussion on the school forum."
"you……"
Yu Muto's move of cutting off the source of the problem directly caused Eriri to panic. She had now completely forgotten about such things. Without any evidence, it would not cause much trouble.
But then again, who's to blame for Eriri feeling guilty right now? Even if she's not a fujoshi, she still has BL manga in her bag. If she were to post it on a forum, wouldn't she be completely humiliated?
"Eriri-san, you don't want others to know that you went to a bookstore like this and bought 18+ BL manga, do you?"
A sentence full of the local flavor of the Sakura Empire came out of Muto Yu's mouth, and then Eriri trembled all over. In addition, the other party's head was full of garbage, and he probably started to imagine his own defeat CG.
Seeing Eriri's ears gradually turning red, Muto Yuya slowly walked to her side. Under her extremely nervous gaze, he reached out and gently pulled open her mask.
