"Sorry,"

The girl covered her stomach and wiped away the tears from her eyes. Then she said seriously, "I'm a professional. I usually don't laugh unless I can't help it."

"Bah! A-Huang, let's go!"

Yidou was so angry that he didn't have the face to stay any longer, so he wanted to find a place to get rid of the swelling. A few hours later, he was a brave man again!

"See you next time then~"

Xiao Gong held back his laughter and did not stop him.

Just then the phone rang. She took out her cell phone and answered it. Linghua's figure soon popped up on the screen.

The background is Kamisato House, and the little egret looks depressed and sighs.

"Xiao Gong, I'm sorry, I may not be able to come and play with you today."

"Eh? Did something happen?"

Xiao Gong said "Huh", feeling a little disappointed.

"Well, the palace chief wants to see me about something. I have to go to the castle tower and I'm not sure when I can come back."

"Is that so... Then there is nothing we can do."

There is only one person in Inazuma who can be called the chief priest, and that is of course Lady Yae Kamiko of Narugami Taisha Shrine.

We really can't neglect a summons from such an important figure, so today's outing plan had to be cancelled.

But Xiao Gong soon became full of energy: "It's okay, it's okay. If it doesn't work this time, there's always next time. There's a long time to come. Just call me when you have time! I'll be there anytime~"

"Okay, then, bye, Xiao Palace."

Linghua on the other side of the screen smiled and prepared to hang up the phone.

That's when.

Yidou, who had left with his younger brother before, came back at some point.

"Xiao Gong, are you having a brain problem? Why are you talking to yourself in front of a brick?"

Xiao Gong: “?”

"You have a problem with your brain!"

Xiao Gong rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, "I'm talking to Ling Hua! Go away!"

"Ayaka?"

Douzi thought for a moment, "Who is the eldest daughter of the Society? The famous Princess Egret?"

He laughed loudly twice. "Are you kidding? There is no one around here except us. I understand... This is actually your... your... how do you say that word? Yes! An imaginary friend! It's okay, it's okay. There's no need to be so shy to hide it. I won't laugh at you."

"What imaginary friends? What weird things have you imagined?"

Xiao Gong was a little speechless, so he simply put the phone in front of him, "Nuo, look for yourself, isn't Linghua in there?"

Yidou looked over subconsciously and found a familiar figure standing inside the brick-sized object.

The little egret also realized what was happening and greeted him in a friendly manner:

"Hello, Lord Aratake Ichito, I am Kamisato Ayaka."

Yidou: “…”

Yidou: “!!!”

Ichito: "Ghost!!!"

Brother Douzi let out a strange cry and ran away, not forgetting to grab his little brother Ahuang.

Xiao Gong: “?”

Xiao Gong was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out of anger.

"What ghost? You are a ghost yourself! Come back here!"

"No return!"

Brother Douzi dragged his little brother and ran away, not stopping until they were under a cherry tree, panting. He leaned against the tree and stared at her with a wary look on his face, "You, you, you...you actually locked someone in a mirror! Tell me! What kind of witchcraft is this?!"

"You big-headed ghost!"

Xiao Gong rubbed his hands and gritted his teeth, "This is a cell phone! Haven't you heard of a cell phone? What does this have to do with witchcraft?"

"I'm not that easy to fool!"

Ichito shook his head like a rattle, his tone was firm, "This is clearly witchcraft! Otherwise, why would the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family be locked up in there?!"

Xiao Gong was filled with black lines on his face.

Fortunately, the considerate Little Egret took the initiative to explain for her.

"Mr. Aratake Ichito, you really misunderstood. I was not locked in the mirror by Xiao Gong. We were just on a video call."

"What is a video call?"

Douzi's face was full of suspicion. He was also a well-known figure in Hanamizaka, and his reputation was enough to stop children from crying at night, but he had never heard of the words "video call".

As for mobile phones... I heard a little about them while working part-time recently.

"To put it simply, it is a way of communicating in real time, just like the Fontaine camera can take clear photos. The principle of video calls is similar to it."

Little Egret smiled and said, "That doesn't necessarily mean that even the photos taken by the camera can be considered so-called witchcraft, right?"

There is some truth in this.

Although camera is a rare item in Inazuma, Arataki, who only works by the day and rests three days a week, once saw his boss Ito, who works part-time, using it when he was doing odd jobs.

Seeing that he had finally let down his guard, Linghua took advantage of the situation and struck while the iron was hot. She explained it from every aspect, trying to use concise and easy-to-understand language, and finally made Yidou believe her statement.

"I see... I thought it was some kind of witchcraft! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

After getting over the initial panic, Brother Douzi, who had understood everything, began to feel a strong curiosity.

He suddenly thought of something very important.

Since video calls are so convenient and allow people to communicate face to face in such a clear situation...

So, if he also had a mobile phone, wouldn't he be able to see Miss Hina in person in the future? !

Although writing letters has its own unique flavor, how can a cold letter be as stunning as a real person?

When he thought about the future when he would be able to have a one-on-one video chat with his dear Miss Hina, Yidou smiled happily from the bottom of his heart.

"This guy... could it be that his brain is really burned out?"

Xiao Gong, who was standing by, had a strange look on his face and felt a little chilled.

God has mercy on me - a ghost-like man with eight-pack abs, two meters tall and two horns on his head, now stands there stupidly, showing a naive and sweet smile like a newborn baby...

This scene will not make people feel comforted or moved, but will only give people goose bumps...

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

Yidou quickly came to his senses and came over eagerly.

"Well, Xiao Gong, let me discuss something with you."

"what's up?"

Xiao Gong protected his chest with both hands, looking alert.

"Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal..."

Yidou said with a grin, winking at her, "Just agree to it first."

"impossible!"

Little Egret had already hung up the call. Xiao Gong held the phone in his arms without relaxing his grip. "Tell me what you think first. I'll consider it."

"It's...that's..."

Yidou cleared his throat and asked in a low voice: "Where did you get this phone? How much is it? If it's convenient, can you sell it to me?"

"You want to buy a cell phone?"

Xiao Gong was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, this seemed reasonable.

Having witnessed the power of mobile phones with one’s own eyes, any normal person would be tempted, right?

Isn't she an example? I didn't think much of it at first, but after experiencing it myself, I just couldn't let it go.

Especially the Moments feature on her phone… it allowed her to find out what was happening in Liyue even when she was in Inazuma, which was simply magical!

In addition to chatting on the phone with Linghua, Xiaogong now spends more than ten hours every day checking his Moments to see what big news has happened in Liyue recently, and he never gets tired of it.

Even the fun of researching new fireworks, which I used to love the most, has been temporarily put aside. The charm of mobile phones is unquestionable.

"but……"

His golden eyes turned around, and Xiao Gong said seriously: "This is my phone, of course I can't sell it to you, no matter how much Mora you offer!"

"But... it is said that the company will officially release the mobile phone soon. According to gossip, the first batch will be tens of thousands of units. You can go and grab one then."

"real?!"

Brother Douzi had a look of surprise on his face. He was a little disappointed at first, but when he heard that the phone would be released soon, he instantly revived and became full of energy.

"Xiao Gong, do you know the price of the first batch of mobile phones... ahem, how much is it?"

Ashamed to say it.

As the big boss of the Arotaki faction and the Dragon of Hanamizaka, Touzi-ge's financial situation is not very good.

He has no formal job, or rather, his formal job is to go from street to street with his younger brothers.

When he had no money, he did odd jobs. With his physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people, Yidou was unexpectedly popular in the labor market.

Whether it's moving bricks, cutting wood, keeping watch, or being a porter...

Usually one person can do the work that requires several people, and of course he earns a lot of Mora.

Unfortunately, he always worked one day and rested three days, never wasting any extra energy on work. Occasionally, he had to support his impoverished younger brothers, so his finances were naturally unstable.

Brother Douzi is quite happy with this kind of life where one person can feed the whole family. As a man who stands tall and upright, how can he bow down for a few Moras?

but,

Today, he finally feels the shame of being short of money.

A mobile phone is the guarantee for a face-to-face one-on-one video call with Miss Hina!

Therefore, no matter how expensive it is, I must buy it!

For Miss Hina, be brave and don't be afraid of difficulties!

He was even considering whether he should work overtime or do odd jobs in the near future to save more money. After all, the price of this magical thing would definitely not be too low when it was released.

Ten thousand Moras? One hundred thousand Moras? Or even higher? All are possible.

For Yidou today, whether it is 10,000 Moras or 100,000 Moras, it is a huge sum.

It's the kind that you might not be able to raise even if you work odd jobs for a month.

If there is really no other way... he can only sacrifice his dignity as the eldest brother and ask Anin for money.

“I’m not very clear about this question either…”

Xiao Gong thought for a moment and added, "However, the price should not be very expensive. It is still a rumor that mobile phones will become popular in Inazuma in the future. Since they are popular, the price must be affordable for ordinary people."

These were what Xiao Bailu told her when they were chatting with Linghua.

Yidou was relieved when he heard that.

It would be good as long as it is not too expensive, but to be on the safe side, he decided to do odd jobs for the next half month and save as much Mora as possible.

I have a decision in my mind.

Brother Douzi laughed twice, said goodbye to Xiaogong, and ran away excitedly with Ahuang.

It looks like they are preparing to enter the city.

……

Castle tower.

Ying Bao, who had just finished a game of Happy Candy Crush, stretched and looked at Su Che beside him. He suddenly thought of something and said:
