The Godfather of Gaming in Daily Anime

All I can say is that a great reputation is not in vain. Eriri's pretty face, shy and slightly blushing, is really heart-warming.

"This confirms your identity, Eriri-san."

"You...what on earth do you want to do?!"

The timid Eriri tried hard to maintain her composure. After all, this was still the street, and no matter how crazy the other party was, they couldn't do anything too excessive here.

"I didn't mean anything, I was just joking. Sawamura-kun must have read this kind of book before. The scene just now seemed so suitable, so I couldn't help but say it out loud. Sorry, sorry, did I scare you?!"

Looking at the sunny smile on Muto Yu's face, Eriri realized that she had just been pranked by him. Her originally frightened and panicked heart was now filled with anger.

Controlled by anger and humiliation, Eriri stomped hard on the instep of Muto Yuu with her heel.

To be honest, I didn't feel any pain. After all, although Eriri couldn't be called a sickly beauty, her health was indeed not very good. She had to take a leave every month before, and she often caught various common diseases such as colds.

She can be described as having a delicate and gentle body. Even when she is filled with anger, the fighting power she unleashes may be a bit impressive to ordinary people, but to Muto Yu, it can be completely ignored.

After all, Yu Muto has almost twice the average value of an adult male. This enhancement is not just about explosive power, endurance, reaction ability, etc., but an all-round enhancement, which naturally also includes enhancements such as skin toughness and impact resistance.

But Muto Yuu wouldn't be so foolish as to say he didn't feel anything. Wouldn't that just add fuel to the fire? So he deliberately pretended to be in great pain, grimacing.

As for the fact that the acting is not up to par and looks a bit exaggerated?

Ying Lili didn't care. Even though the other person's expression was a little exaggerated, it did reduce her anger a lot.

"That's outrageous! How can you say such things to an ordinary girl?"

"Uh, can a girl who often hangs out in this kind of bookstore and buys all kinds of 18+ comic novels really be considered an ordinary girl?"

Chapter 42: Pinky Promise, Liar Swallows a Thousand Needles

Listening to the complaints from Yu Muto, Eriri's mouth twitched slightly. For the sake of her reputation, she chose to speak up to defend herself.

"I'm really not a fujoshi. I brought these BL comics to my mother because she likes them. I'm just running errands for her."

"Really?"

Muto Yuu pretended to be skeptical, and Eriri, anxious to protect her reputation, didn't notice the smile hidden in the other's expression.

"of course it's true."

"Okay, then I believe you. You are not a rotten girl."

"Yeah, I'm not a fujoshi."

Although she was a little surprised that the other party accepted her explanation so quickly, Eriri was relieved that the misunderstanding could be resolved.

At least there won't be any news on the forum like Sawamura Eriri is a fujoshi who likes BL comics.

After doing this, Ying Lili, who was still a little flustered, suddenly had an idea. If she continued to explain, would she be able to clear herself completely?

"I only come to places like this to run errands for my mother. I've never seen anything like the things they sell there."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true?"

"I do not believe!"

"Huh? How could you not believe it?"

"You believed me just now, why are you not so easy to fool now?"

Eriri was thinking about this with a huge headache, and discussing these explosive topics with a high school classmate she didn't even know on the street was constantly challenging her sense of shame.

"Of course I don't believe it. You're so familiar with buying these things, it's impossible that you do it so often. Even if you're really just running errands for your mother, wouldn't you be curious about other types of comic novels?"

"I...I have controlled my curiosity!"

Hearing Yu Muto's question, Eriri's tone became less confident. It was a fact that she was not a fujoshi, so she was full of confidence when she spoke, but now she was indeed lying.

"I might be able to control it once or twice, but how can I control it all the time? And when I said that just now, your expression was weird. You must have been imagining some plot from a comic book, right?"

"Well……"

The Sawamura Eriri ship was severely damaged and her attempts to struggle completely failed. Even if she wanted to struggle again, after seeing Muto Yu's eyes that seemed to have seen through the truth of the matter, she could no longer say the lax excuse she had just made up.

"And isn't that what you just said, Eriri-san? If you're exposed and still try to cover it up, it'll be very..."

"say no more."

Eriri was completely unable to recover. The words she had just said were like a boomerang, hitting her hard.

Eriri, feeling somewhat disheartened, had already started to imagine that all sorts of news would appear on the school forum, and that she would go from being the popular "Golden Legend of Toyosaki" to being treated like a rat crossing the street.

However, Eriri's imagination is a bit too pessimistic. Normally, most boys should be extremely excited, but the girls' exclusion is inevitable. The mere fact that she is prettier than other girls is enough to arouse their jealousy.

If there is no opportunity, the only choice is to maintain a situation where everyone is happy with Eriri. Once there is an opportunity, all kinds of rumors will take advantage of the situation.

But in the end, it is impossible for Eriri to really become a rat crossing the street and be hunted by everyone.

"By the way, Eriri-san, please keep my visit to the bookstore to buy a notebook a secret. In exchange, I will keep yours a secret as well."

Looking at the somewhat distraught Eriri, Muto Yu took the initiative to hand over his "handle", although this "handle" was nothing for him to care about.

Isn’t it normal for adolescent boys to be curious about these things?

But for Eriri, and for the sake of more interactions between the two of them in the future, Muto Yu needs to pretend to be very interested in this "secret". It is also for the sake of the two of them having a common secret, so it doesn't matter if his acting skills are not good enough.

In order to make herself feel at ease, Eriri would subconsciously imagine all kinds of random things, and finally convince herself to come to the conclusion that Muto Yuu takes this matter very seriously.

"Okay, we'll keep this a secret for each other, and no one can tell anyone."

"Okay, speaking of which, after all this chatting, we haven't formally introduced ourselves yet."

As Muto Yu said this, a bright smile appeared on his face and he extended his right hand towards Eriri.

"Hello, Eriri-san, my name is Muto Yuu, and I'm a student in Class 1, Grade 11 at Toyosaki Private Academy."

"I'm Sawamura Spencer Eriri from Class 3, Grade 1. Also, don't call me by my first name. We're not that familiar with each other yet."

Hearing the other party calling her name directly for who knows how many times, Eriri showed an expression of dissatisfaction on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she reached out and shook hands with Muto Yu.

"Hey, since we kept the secret of going to the bookstore to buy restricted works a secret from each other, can't we just call each other by our first names?"

"cannot!"

Looking at Eriri's grinning face, Muto Yuu thought about it and gave up the idea of ​​teasing her any further. It must be said that the teasing from her really made people feel like they couldn't stop.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Sawamura-kun. Is this okay?"

"Yeah, in contrast, I'll also call you Muto-san."

Looking at the helpless expression on Muto Yu's face and hearing the other party finally change his name, Eriri finally nodded in satisfaction and let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

"Muto-kun is quite a nice person! No, if he hadn't recognized me, how could such a series of events have happened?!"

With conflicting thoughts in his mind, Muto Yu once again stretched out his hand towards Eriri, but this time only his little finger.

"what?"

"Handshake, didn't we agree to keep it a secret from each other?"

"Actually... okay."

Eriri originally wanted to say that those things were meaningless, but after hesitating for a while, she agreed. After all, what if they were useful and could prevent Muto Yu from leaking the secret?

The two people hooked their pinkies together, and then they said the same words in unison: "Let's make a pinky promise. The one who tells a lie must swallow a thousand needles."

Finally, she no longer had to worry about the image she had worked so hard to create at school collapsing, and Eriri breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon he asked Muto Yu with some curiosity.

"What did you just buy at the bookstore? After all, you already know what I bought, so it's only fair that I know yours too."

Chapter 43: No Fight, No Acquaintance

After hearing Eriri's question, Muto Yu was silent for a while, looked at her with a strange look, and then handed the cloth handbag in his hand to her nonchalantly.

"Sawamura-kun, check it out for yourself."

"Okay, let me see..."

Soon, Eriri froze in her tracks. She had never imagined that the two comics the other party bought were both her own works.

"How is it? The quality is pretty good, right?"

"It's really good. Kashiwagi Eiri's books are all excellent."

Listening to Yu Muto's words, Eriri answered subconsciously, and then suddenly realized the problem in her words, but words spoken are like spilled water, there is no way to take them back.

"As expected, Sawamura-san has read countless books."

"Well……"

Completely irrefutable.

"But I also think that the manga created by Kashiwagi Eri is very impressive. It's the most powerful manga I've ever seen in this world."

"Really?"

Hearing Yu Muto's heartfelt praise, Eriri's originally somewhat embarrassed heart became happy again.

For creators, readers' recognition of each other's works makes them very happy.

What Yu Muto said was also true. In this world, he had only read the comics created by Kashiwagi Eri. If she was not the strongest, who was the strongest?

At this moment, the girl felt not only joy but also shame. It can only be said that Eriri was extremely conflicted inside. She wanted to hear Yuto Muto praise Eri Kashiwagi, but she also wanted to skip this topic urgently.

But today's teasing should stop here. If it continues, the other person's shame might explode.

"By the way, do you want to exchange Line friends? We can be considered as acquaintances after fighting, right?"

"Where is the fight?"

"You just stepped on my foot, isn't that considered a beating?"

After being reminded by Yu Muto, Eriri remembered that she had indeed stepped on the other person in a fit of anger. She could only pretend that nothing had happened and took out her cell phone.

He added another friend and looked at the five friends on his Line friend list. Muto Yu was happy about the high quality of his friends.

"But I've already told you that if you don't have anything important to do, don't contact me. Got it?"

The subtext is that you shouldn't think that adding her as a friend will give you the opportunity to pursue her.

"Don't worry, I won't look for you unless it's something serious."

Of course, Muto Yu agreed without hesitation, but his lack of hesitation made Eriri unhappy again.

Human beings are always full of contradictions. For example, on the one hand, they don't want the other party to bother them, but after the other party agrees without any hesitation, they begin to doubt their own charm and start to worry about all kinds of gains and losses.

But no matter what, the communication between the two people ended here. Eriri put on a mask and hurriedly rode her bicycle home, while Muto Yu continued to stroll around Akihabara.

Then Muto Yu suddenly saw a shop on the street that was still not open at around 11 o'clock in the morning. When he walked closer, he found a note saying "Popular Shop for Rent" on the door of the shop.

It is a popular shop and has good customer flow, but the rent is also a very scary figure.

However, this also reminded him that when he had money and formed a team, he could rent or buy a store and use it specifically to sell some game peripherals.

After all, game peripherals are also a very profitable industry. For example, a card from "Yu-Gi-Oh" can be sold for hundreds of millions.

(Although Yu-Gi-Oh! cards can't strictly be called game peripherals, they should be called anime or manga peripherals.)

Putting the thoughts in his mind aside for the time being, Muto You finished strolling along the street, then went to the shopping district building and finally had lunch inside.

The taste is just average, not much better than the dishes made by Yu Muto who has Lv1 cooking skills, but the prices basically start from four figures.

I can only say that it is really expensive, but now that hundreds of millions of yen have been received for "Plants vs. Zombies", it is not a bad idea to give it a try.

I was still strolling around in the afternoon. Since I had limited knowledge about anime and games in this world, Yu Muto didn't sell any game or anime peripherals.

It was not until around four in the afternoon that Muto Yu left Akihabara. After a day's stroll, the only thing he got was two comics drawn by Kashiwagi Eri.

After thinking for a moment, Muto Yu decided to put his things home first and then take the train to Shimokitazawa Station.

It was not yet five o'clock in Shimokitazawa, and the Live House called Fanxing had not yet opened for business. Muto Yu looked at the notice on the door that said "Open from 5 pm" and took out his mobile phone to take a look.

There were still about ten minutes left, so it wouldn't be a big deal to wait a little longer. But in reality, I didn't have to wait long before someone came to open the door.

"Eh? Are you a guest?"

The petite girl with blonde (blonde?) hair in a side ponytail looked down at Yu Muto who was standing in front of the store and asked hesitantly.

"Ah, this is my first time at a place like Live House, so I accidentally arrived a little early."
