I am a freeloader in the anime world

Under Tokisaki Kurumi's slightly confused gaze, the mysterious figure in the giant panda doll costume approached quietly, and then unexpectedly handed Su Yang a colorful ice cream.

The movements of the person wearing the panda costume were natural and smooth, as if this was a standard service in the zoo. After the handover, the puppeteer turned around and left as if nothing had happened, just like a real staff member, and continued his tour.

Faced with this sudden situation, Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes were filled with obvious confusion. After all, according to common sense, a visit to the zoo would not be accompanied by free ice cream, which made her feel very puzzled.

However, Su Yang seemed unusually calm. He took the ice cream calmly with an expression that showed it was the right thing to do.

Afterwards, he easily led Tokisaki Kurumi to continue their tour of the zoo. He didn't seem surprised by this little surprise, but instead added a bit of fun to the tour.

On the side that Tokisaki Kurumi didn't notice, Su Yang quietly gave a thumbs up to the mysterious figure in the giant panda doll costume, expressing his appreciation and gratitude.

Surprisingly, the giant panda puppet immediately responded with the same action, sticking out its thumb from its heavy attire and signaling to Su Yang, as if they were silently communicating their tacit understanding with each other.

"Phew~ This thing is really heavy."

It was not until Su Yang and Tokisaki Kurumi completely disappeared in the bustling crowd in the zoo that the mysterious figure in the panda doll costume finally relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.

He carefully took off the heavy panda mask, and as the mask was removed, a middle-aged male face was revealed - it was none other than the store manager himself.

At this moment, the store manager had a smug smile on his face as if his plan had succeeded, and he seemed quite satisfied with the little episode he had just completed.

"It is indeed a difficult task to completely eradicate the poor treatment of animals in the zoo. This guy Su Yang is really going to cause me trouble."

The store manager had a wry smile on his face. He knew that if Tokisaki Kurumi witnessed any animal abuse, the consequences would be disastrous. Her reaction might be so intense that it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as "a river of blood".

The store manager knew Tokisaki Kurumi's love for animals. Therefore, he felt both headache and helplessness about the challenge proposed by Su Yang, but at the same time he also realized the importance and urgency of this task.

"Or, why not use the money to buy a zoo, so that even if Su Yang needs to date Tokisaki Kurumi in the future, he won't have to spend so much effort, but..."

As he spoke, the store manager touched his waist with a bitter and helpless expression.

Of course, Tokisaki Kurumi had no idea about the plans and considerations behind all this.

At this moment, Tokisaki Kurumi was standing by the fence, looking at the little sheep inside with excitement, with a faint blush on her cheeks. Her eyes were full of pure joy, as if she was completely immersed in her love for these docile animals.

At this moment, Tokisaki Kurumi showed the appearance of an ordinary girl who was full of love for animals. The emotions she expressed were pure and sincere, making people almost forget her usual complicated identity and burden.

It is at moments like these that Tokisaki Kurumi's true nature is unleashed and her true emotions are most vividly revealed.

"Here you go." Su Yang handed the ice cream in his hand to Tokisaki Kurumi with a gentle smile. His movements were light and natural, and then he put his hands behind his back and stood more upright. Su Yang felt an indescribable joy in his heart. Perhaps no one could have foreseen that Tokisaki Kurumi would show such an innocent side in front of these docile animals.

Tokisaki Kurumi expressed her love for animals so sincerely and directly, and the joy that overflowed from the bottom of her heart infected everyone around her, including Su Yang.

In front of these innocent creatures, Tokisaki Kurumi seemed to have completely relaxed her guard. Her behavior revealed a rare calmness and sincerity, as if her inner world was completely opened up at this moment, showing her truest side.

Su Yang was both surprised and relieved by Tokisaki Kurumi's appearance at this moment. Her appearance at this moment was undoubtedly the most beautiful interpretation of "reality", and it also made Su Yang have a deeper understanding and knowledge of this complex and changeable girl.

"Give it to me?" When Tokisaki Kurumi took the ice cream, her eyebrows slightly raised, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. Her bright eyes blinked curiously, and then turned to Su Yang and asked softly: "Youjun, what about you?"

There was a barely perceptible concern in Tokisaki Kurumi's voice, as if she was silently expressing her consideration and thoughtfulness for Su Yang.

Su Yang raised his lips slightly, revealing a helpless yet gentle smile. He shrugged, his tone revealing an irresistible sense of humor, "Well, things are always like this, there is only one ice cream, ladies first, there is nothing we can do about it."

"This..." Tokiya Kurumi looked at the ice cream in her hand hesitantly, and then a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She suggested: "Youjun, why don't we share this ice cream together..." There was a hint of shyness in Tokiya Kurumi's voice, but more of a joy of willingness to share.

Really? To be honest, I have never eaten ice cream in my 40 years of life. However, eating it with Tokisaki Kurumi...

Su Yang thought in his heart and looked up at Tokisaki Kurumi again.

But if I don’t eat it, will it anger Tokisaki Kurumi?

Then Su Yang thought of another question.

Although he was hesitant, Su Yang did not show any hesitation on his face. With a gentle smile, he responded to Tokisaki Kurumi: "Is this really appropriate?"

"Ah, ah, ah~" Tokisaki Kurumi chuckled, holding her cheek gently with one hand, a faint blush on her face, she said in a playful tone: "If it's Yu-kun, then there's no problem at all~"
