Guitar, loneliness and the blue sea

"Since it's Akihabara, of course there's only one choice, right?"

With a swish sound, he took out the marked map that he had shown Yusuke before.

"Maid Cafe!"

That's right, Akihabara, known as the Two-dimensional Holy Land, is dotted with countless maid shops of various styles, which are famous throughout Japan.

"..."

But Yusuke and Iori unexpectedly shook their heads at the same time.

"Isn't today a treasure hunt? Why has it turned into a hunt for beauty and beauty again?"

"Yes, and I also have my 'sister' with me, so I have to think about her." Yusuke said with a smile.

Saying such words in front of Kohei was tantamount to a minefield, but he was in a really good mood today, so he completely ignored Yusuke's provocative behavior.

But Yinglili said it didn't matter.

"Ah, you don't have to worry about me. In fact, I can go to the maid cafe."

"Really?" Gengping's eyes lit up. He thought it was a completely male place.

You are worthy of being the hero of otakus, Mr. Kashiwagi, the creator of the [-]-ban doujins!You just understand people’s hearts!

In comparison, Yusuke, who still messes around with such a childhood sweetheart, should die twenty thousand times!

"No, no, Miss Sawamura, there is no need to force yourself." Iori persuaded.

"Why?" Gengping didn't understand very much, "How can a man not like maid clothes? Kitahara, are you impotent?"

"That's not the case. It's just that I thought about it later and I wore it once at the Aonome Festival and became indifferent to it." Iori replied calmly.

Yusuke: "Ah, come to think of it, I am too..."

Yinglili: "What the hell did you do at that time..."

"Anyway, let's do some normal projects today. Don't expend too much energy before the treasure hunt."

The four of them swiped their cards and entered the subway station. Although the Toshima district where Yusuke lives is not a prosperous area in Tokyo and belongs to the so-called 'civilian area', the subway station is still overcrowded.

As the most populous city in the world, Tokyo is really not built.Even Iori Kitahara and Kohei Imamura, who have no idea about metropolitan life, have some idea of ​​the spectacular scene of thousands of people crossing the streets of Tokyo.This impression comes either from the opening credits of Japanese dramas or from advertisements at bus stations and subway stations.

Now that he has experienced it personally, even Yusuke can't help but sigh:

Life in Izu is better.

Eiri glanced at Yusuke and knew what he was thinking. She didn't speak, but grabbed his arm in the crowded crowd.Yusuke followed her lead.

Walking all the way into the crowded and narrow space of the carriage, Erili stood in a corner. Yusuke was facing her, holding on to the wall, feeling like he was protecting her under him.

The distance was so close that she could count the number of unshaved stubbles on Yusuke's chin.

But she didn't blush as usual, but silently enjoyed his company.

After all, it was agreed before that the two of them are now half-brothers and sisters.

However, in fact, the two of them looked like ordinary young lovers out on the street, but it was a bit embarrassing to be accompanied by two men who were not wearing trousers.

"By the way, why did that collector choose to release the cards at [-] noon? Do you have any explanation?" Kitahara Iori asked. Compared to the other three, his understanding of the otaku world was at the level of a kindergarten kid.

"Well, maybe it's nothing special. Think about it, if you run a marathon, you need a starting point, right?"

"Speaking of marathons, do you still remember? There is a plot in "Gintama" where fans compete in a ten-kilometer race to show their love for their idols. I wonder if such a thing will happen today..."

Yinglili had already anticipated that she would have to walk a long distance today, so she deliberately wore sneakers.

But as a homebody, she still doesn't want to exercise if she can.

"Hmph, it would be easy if that were the case."

Kasumigaoka Yusuke and Kitahara Iori showed ferocious smiles.

Yusuke: "Eiriri, think about it, we are members of the sports club! (Although it is a water sport)"

Iori: "Fighting against an otaku with empty eyes, pale skin, and weak muscles is simply a dimensionality-reducing blow!"

Yusuke: "Ah, it's just that with Kohei's physical strength, he will almost [-]% die halfway."

"No, I will not."

Imamura Kohei showed determination that he had never seen before.

"For the love of my life, I will not hesitate even if my muscles dissolve!"

"Don't let the muscles dissolve! You will die!"

Yusuke remembered again that Magical Girl Larako's famous line is 'With a wave of the wand, the balance dissolves'...

Although the dissolving balance is quite scary, it would be a horror movie if the muscles were dissolving.

When the time comes, we should let this guy take it easy.

"However, I suddenly thought of a question, Yusuke, and everyone." Kohei suddenly said.

"Go ahead."

"If you really get this card, where will you put it?"

Yusuke and Eiri exchanged glances. This question was not difficult to answer for those of them who had collected cards.

Ying Lili: "I will put it in a card with a score, and then put it in the most conspicuous place in the dust-free display cabinet."

Gengping: "Oh! You pay attention to people!"

Yusuke: "I would probably build a high-rarity deck using this card and take it to the competition."

Gengping: "That's not bad! This way I can show off to more people!"

Kitahara Iori thought for a while and then gave a great answer.

"Sell it for money, I just don't know if it's easy to sell."

"The existence of people like you is simply an insult to the entire ACGN community."

But Kitahara Iori ignored Kohei's attack.

"Because, think about it, no matter how you collect it, it will be fun for you alone. If you exchange it for money, wouldn't everyone be able to use it together?"

He waved his hand.

"For example, if we really have 50 yen, how about we all go to Okinawa again? We had a great time that time, right? Miss Sawamura, too."

"Well..."

Yingli's cheeks turned red. She really had a lot of fun that time, especially because she was completely 'enjoyed' with Yusuke.

Her eyes swept over Yusuke's face, his expression was as usual.

"Kitahara-san, you are quite a nice person," she commented.

At this time, Yusuke sneered with a crooked mouth.

"Oh, Eiri, don't be deceived by this guy. This guy is only half as nice as he is nice. A trip to Okinawa doesn't cost 50 yen, so it would be nice to spend half of it. Right, Iori?"

Iori also smiled.

What if we are brothers?

The two crossed their shoulders.

"That's right, let's spend the rest of the money in revenge at the bar that kicked us out before! Let that bastard boss know who the boss is!"

"No, why should we reward him?!"

269 ​​It’s not okay to be taken away by that kind of person.

"Akihabara ahhhhhh-"

When you get off the huge Akihabara subway station, you will see a dazzling scene in front of you. There are various huge advertisements posted on the windows of the surrounding buildings. Those are selling various comics, novels, CDs, BDs and mobile phones. The whole building is filled with shops around the office, where you can buy everything from the Two-dimensional world.

This place is undoubtedly a veritable two-dimensional paradise. Imamura Kohei only took one look at it and ran frantically towards the streets filled with tourists.

"This is my holy place!"

After spinning in place for three and a half weeks, he knelt down crazily and worshiped a sign standing on the side of the road.

Although it is an otaku street, Akihabara also has many entertainment industries, which are very popular among local young people and tourists, so there are still many normal people there, and many people look at him with suspicion.

"I really can't stand going out on the street with this guy..." Iori complained, covering her face.

Although he said this, he was also deeply shocked by the bustling street in front of him.

Are there actually so many otakus in the world?

Moreover, he also saw some advertisements for gentleman content - although he is not an otaku, but with Yusuke and Kohei's support, he still occasionally reads books and stories.

I feel like my wallet is going to bleed again...

"In order to express their piety, pilgrims from certain religions will kowtow every three steps on the way to worship... This guy is similar." Yusuke Kasumigaoka helped Kohei out.

"She's really...very energetic..." Yinglili shook her head and said that she couldn't do that.

As mentioned before, because she has to maintain the superficial image of a young lady, Eiri is usually a hidden person and does not easily expose her hobbies to outsiders.

Although not as crazy as Kohei, she is actually very enthusiastic about her hobbies.After learning that this card would appear today, I went out on my bike without even sleeping.

She raised her head and looked at Yusuke with her big aqua eyes.

"You don't have to pretend, you don't have to cover up, you can just be passionate about the things you like... This feels good, right?" He said with a smile, "Our club has been pursuing this feeling of youth."

"Hmm... I don't hate it either... But what's that expression on your face? You look like [it doesn't matter if you get naked for this feeling]."

"Because it doesn't matter."

"You really should have your brain cured." Ying Lili rolled her eyes.

Kasumigaoka Yusuke and Kitahara Iori looked at each other and smiled. This kind of nakedness can only be understood but cannot be explained in words.

"However, put aside the naked ones first. Where do you think this card with the highest rarity might appear?" Yusuke asked Eiri. She was the only one among the four who lived in Tokyo. There was no doubt that she would come. The frequency here is definitely the highest.

"After all, it's a card. Your first thought would be to go to a card shop in Akihabara, right? But there are also many shops selling cards and board games here, so it's hard to narrow down..." Eiri said.

"I don't quite understand, but isn't that a bit mediocre?" Kitahara Iori said.

"I think so too." Yusuke nodded in agreement, "If I were to quit and give away my collection of cards, it would definitely be in an unusual place, right?"

"But where else?"

Yinglili originally thought that it might be among the comics or light novels in the bookstore, but considering that there are hundreds of large and small bookstores in this place, searching like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. She sighed and said that she had no imagination and couldn't guess. come out.

At this time, Iori suddenly saw Kohei carrying something and quickly chased after him.

"Kengping! Put back the lesbian sign at the door of the restaurant! Do you want to be arrested by the police?"

The two of them started chasing each other with joy, and their appearance was undoubtedly that of the bright boy in the sports club, which made the geeks' heads hurt.

On the street, Yusuke and Eiri were walking on the street like a stroll, enjoying the noisy atmosphere.

"What's wrong, Yusuke? Why is there a lewd smile on your face? Are you happy to be back here after a long absence?" Eiri asked.

"Ah, I'm very happy. I'm also very happy to be with Yinglili. I'm thinking, actually, it's okay not to look for those rare WS cards. I just go shopping, eat and drink, and buy anime peripherals, and then return home with a full load. Isn't that quite Okay?"

"Yes! So..." Eirili narrowed her eyes and showed a bright smile, "Don't go to that school festival, live an otaku life with me, you can come here at any time. ?Na? How is it?"

Oh, wait for me here!

The one who firmly wanted to avoid being chased and intercepted by others when she went to the student union was Eri-ri!

"There is no way. If my sister wants to go, I have to go." Yusuke smiled and spread his hands with a helpless expression.

"Tsk, don't worry, I will arrange for someone to watch the fat woman with black stockings, and I will never let her be talked to by others."

Eirili vowed, and she thought to herself that Kasumigaoka Shiyu was not interested in men other than her younger brother at all, so there was no need to be particularly guarded.

But Yusuke...he is too sentimental, and he has baggage in his heart. It is possible that he was abducted into bed by a bad woman because of his past guilt.

As his trusted 'sister', I must take nip in the bud.

Suddenly, Gengping came over at lightning speed, still holding the standing sign.

"That's not okay, Yusuke, you actually said that it's reasonable not to look for the card. It seems that you still don't take this matter seriously enough."

Yusuke gave him a complicated look.

Did this person hear it?Aren't you being chased by Iori?
