"Ah, you need a letter of introduction to become a member... What a hassle..."

"This kind of thing usually has a dedicated game and animation area?"

Although she is not very clear about the operation method of Japanese SNS, Ayase still put forward her own suggestion based on common sense.

"There seems to……"

Kirino looked excited and opened a certain SNS website, and then, first of all, it seemed that he had to create a profile page.

Seeing that Tong Nao froze on the profile page, Ayase couldn't help urging curiously: "It asked you to enter a nickname, why didn't you move?"

"The problem is, you ask me to take it right away, I can't think of it for a while."

Kirino, who was struggling with naming, looked at Ayase helplessly.

"..."

Ayase looked at Kirino speechlessly, paused and said:

"This nickname can be changed later, right? You can just pick one at first... Or you can refer to other people's nicknames."

Under the urging of Ayase, Kirino typed something on the phone with his finger, then turned the screen to Ayase and said:

"Okay, how about something like this?"

"Let me see... the name column, um, 'Xiao Tongtong @ I don't know what name to choose'..."

"How about my nickname, isn't it cute?"

Not knowing how to deal with Kirino's good naming ability, Ayase could only smile and continue reading.

"Wait... 14 years old is fine, why do you want to fill in the girl's Galgame here?"

"Because that's the truth..." With a look of course on his face, Kirino didn't understand why Ayase's reaction was so strong, "Don't worry, this is my identity, if the students in the class want to add my SNS, I will register another one account."

...Girl, why are you so witty at this moment.

Sure enough, your brain is all used to think about Galgame, right?

But even though Kirino has registered an SNS account like this, there is one more thing I am concerned about...

"Kirino, why did you have a troubled expression from just now..."

"because……"

Seeing that Ayase was listening attentively, Kirino paused and then expressed his worries:

"That...you can use this kind of platform to communicate...should I say that I'm a little scared...because there should be more boys who have the same interests as me...There are also many people who are much older than me...I'm not I look down on them, and of course it's not because I hate them—but, that... I still... feel a little scared."

"That's right... also..."

Hearing Kirino's worries, Ayase discovered a blind spot that she had neglected before - she always thought that Kirino would join the fan community organized by Saori according to the plot of the original book, but she didn't think of a most basic problem.

Even though she is superior to ordinary people, she is still a model who often communicates with different people, but Kirino is just a middle school girl, and she wants to make friends with other men, even older men—even if only on the Internet. It takes a lot of courage for Japanese middle school girls to travel on the road.

——Different from the Celestial Dynasty, due to the penetration rate of home computers and the Internet, Japanese middle school girls seldom come into contact with the Internet, let alone contact with otaku on the Internet. The Internet penetration rate in Japan did not reach until three years later All the better.

... Blind spot, why didn't I think of it before.

No, it seems that my old lady wants to guide Kirino.

Otherwise, it would be a disaster for her to go into a dead end...

"...That...Kirino, try to find...a group with only girls..."

"let me try……"

Kirino swiped his finger on the phone screen again and began to search the online community.

Ayase took the opportunity to be next to Kirino, and looked at Kirino's phone screen intently, in case Kirino didn't find the club composed of Saori and Black Cat - Otaku Gathering.

...there is!

Suddenly, Ayase's eyes lit up, and she found a name that was suspected to be Saori's community in Kirino's browsing list.

"Stop! Wait a minute... What do you think of this?"

Hearing what Ayase said, Kirino stopped his fingers and said, "Huh? Is that what you're talking about?"

"Yes... that's it... the name seems to be good, click in and have a look?"

The name of the Saori community in the original novel that Ayase saw was called "Otaku Gathering!", and the number of members was about 20.

In Ayase's impression, when Saori and others held an offline party, there were more than ten people attending, so the number of people was roughly the same.

There are conditions for participation in this community. In addition to specifying the age and gender, you must also send the reason for wanting to join. It seems that you cannot join without the consent of the administrator.

And coincidentally, the title "Invite everyone to the tea party" appeared on the homepage of this community.

...Since it is such a coincidence, there is also an offline tea party.

Then it is very likely that this is the community of Saori.

Let Kirino look at the ID of the community manager in a while to confirm...

"Eh? Tea party? Is this the so-called online gathering?" Tong Nao clicked on the details of the article with interest, "What, you can't read it if you are not a member?"

"Probably out of security and privacy considerations, so as not to be disturbed by irrelevant people..."

Seeing Kirino's heartbroken look at the content of the article, Ayase continued: "Since it's an offline gathering for girls, even if there are boys pretending to be women in the community, they can't participate in the offline gathering. Well, it should be fine..."

Kirino nodded in agreement, slipped his finger to the position where he would send a text message to the management, and then looked up at Ayase with hesitation.

"what happened?"

"What should I fill in the application information..."

Kirino was on the page of sending text messages to the management at this time, glanced at the phone screen, and sure enough, after seeing the name of Saori Bajina in the management name, Ayase breathed a sigh of relief, and urged without a trace: "This It’s better to talk about some of the things first, such as hobbies, wanting to make female friends, etc.”

Kirino nodded, checked the message carefully and sent it out.

"Your message has been sent successfully"

After seeing this message, Ayase knew that more than half of her goal had been achieved this time.

"That's fine, the next thing is to wait for a reply..." Kirino, who also saw the confirmation message, let out a long breath, as if he wanted to release all the tension that was squeezed in his heart just now.

"I hope I can join smoothly." Ayase sincerely wished.

——Whether it is for Kirino to make friends with the same interest or to meet Saori and Black Cat, Ayase sincerely hopes that Kirino can join smoothly.

"……Um."

Kirino nodded lightly, his eyes full of anticipation, and Ayase couldn't help but smile.

Chapter 35 A Collection of Short and Powerless Otaku Girls

It was not until the next day that Kirino received a reply message from the administrator Saori. Kirino excitedly told Ayase that the application was approved during the lunch break.

"Miss Xiao Tongtong, this is my first letter to you.I am "Saori" the administrator of the "Otaku Gathering!" community... Thank you for applying to join this community - I have enabled your access.

We are similar in age and interests, so we will definitely be good friends.

If it is convenient for you... I hope you can attend our tea party held recently. I would like to chat with you more, please take time to attend.Then, please give me your advice in the future. 』

After reading Saori's reply on Kirino's mobile phone, Ayase, who had been worried that Kirino did not apply to join the community on the timeline of the original plot because of her own intervention, was rejected, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's great, Kirino," Ayase said congratulating Kirino with a smile, "This way you have friends who can discuss these things together."

However, Kirino did not become happy because of Ayase's congratulations, but instead had a tangled expression on his face.

Finding that Kirino was not as happy as he had imagined, Ayase asked softly, "What's wrong with you, Kirino?"

"……I."

"You don't want to go to that tea party?" Seeing Kirino's hesitant expression, Ayase asked tentatively.

——Although in the original plot, Kirino would participate in this party at the instigation of Kyosuke, but now it is Ayase's suggestion next to Kirino, so it is difficult to judge what Kirino thinks.

After all, older brothers and best friends are different. Even though Ayase has been intentionally or unintentionally eliminating Kyosuke's influence, the bond between siblings since childhood is not so easy to break.

"No, I want to participate..." Kirino denied Ayase's question, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "Just let me go to the offline tea party by myself..."

"..."

Dumbfounded, she glanced at Kirino, Ayase didn't expect her to be entangled in this kind of thing.

You must know that Ayase wanted to go to this offline tea party with Kirino from the very beginning, or that Ayase would definitely not give up participating in this important event.

However, in Kirino's understanding, Ayase would not participate in this kind of party with a strong otaku atmosphere, and letting her go to this offline tea party full of strangers alone, for Kirino who is only 14 years old It still takes a lot of courage.

In the original book, Kirino forced Kyosuke to participate together. However, because of Ayase's relationship, Kyosuke did not have the opportunity to discover Kirino's hidden interest.

So at this time, Kirino couldn't find a pillar that could serve as a source of her courage.

Having figured this out, Ayase took the initiative to speak for Kirino and said, "Tirino, do you want me to accompany you?"

Kirino, who had already thought this way, nodded embarrassingly when he heard Ayase's words.

"That's it." Pretending to be thinking, Ayase said after a moment of silence: "Okay then."

They all got affirmative answers from Ayase, and the serious problem in his heart was resolved. Kirino was in a good mood and happily told Ayase the time and place of the offline tea party.

"Okay, okay! You don't have to be so anxious, just go together this weekend."

"That's right, hehe." Kirino stuck out his tongue and let out a smirk.

Soon it was the day of the Net Gathering Tea Party.

Kirino impatiently called Ayase early in the morning and made an appointment for a meeting place.

Under Kirino's urging, Ayase had to start packing early, and finally arrived at the station at the appointed time.

From a long way away, Ayase saw the stylishly dressed Kirino standing alone with a handbag.

Seeing the figure of Ayase, Kirino greeted him with a bright light, complaining in his mouth: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, Ayase!"

"Sorry~"

Apologizing to Kirino, the two boarded the train bound for Akihabara.

Taking the same route as the last time I went to buy a computer, about an hour and a half later, Ayase saw the scenery of Akihabara again.

Unlike the chaotic scene I saw as soon as I got out of the station last time, this time it may be because there is no undressing maniac, everything in Akihabara seems to be quite planned.

"TADIO Hall! GAMERS Headquarters!...Wow!"

Kirino whispered in his mouth, it seemed that because Ayase had already known the reason for Ri's interest, Kirino didn't pretend to know everything this time, and talked about these shops quite unscrupulously.

Gazing at Kirino amusedly, Ayase said aloud, "Tirino, we don't have much time. If you want to go shopping, wait until the party is over."

"Oh! Good." Came back to his senses, Kirino finally did not forget the business, and led Ayase to the meeting place.

Ayase, who was walking next to Kirino, felt that the surrounding scenes were very familiar, especially when Kirino stopped and said something.

"It's this maid cafe named Maid Cafe again..." Ayase said, unable to complain, looking at the shop in front of her.

"What a coincidence..." Tong Nai took out his mobile phone and checked the address to make sure that he did not go to the wrong place.

Author's message:

...Two more...probably...although this chapter is a bit short...

Tomorrow...the otaku collection that is finally online...scheduled...

sleep... good night...

Chapter 36 The Otaku collection that is finally online

After confirming that he remembered the location correctly, Kirino nodded to Ayase.

"Okay, since you're sure it's here..." Ayase looked up at the words "Maid Cafe" on the store's signboard, then turned her head and said to Kirino beside her: "Then let's start, according to the plan, I will Go in."

"Hmm...Okay, I see." Tong Nao swallowed hard and nodded.

"Don't look uneasy, I'll take good care of you..."

"...Me! I'm not uneasy...you go in quickly!" Kirino urged Ayase to hurry into the shop with arrogant words on his lips.

"Yes! Yes! Goodbye!"

With her back to Kirino, Ayase gently raised one hand and waved it, and walked up the very low stairs.

...I always feel that the exterior decoration style has changed again.
