I am a freeloader in the anime world

The Peninsula Hotel, Tokyo.

"What would you like to eat?" In a private room, Sakurajima Mai handed a menu to Su Yang.

"Whatever, as long as the portion is large and it's enough to fill you up." Su Yang took the menu, flipped through it a few times and gave up.

There is no other reason, because Su Yang has a fear of making choices.

"What if what I order is something you don't like?" Sakurajima Mai looked at Su Yang, obviously afraid that she would order something Su Yang wouldn't eat.

"Just kidding, as long as it's edible, how could I not like it?" Su Yang looked proud.

After all, Su Yang, who once went hungry for nine meals in three days, is not picky about food.

"Okay, forget about your previous experience." Sakurajima Mai smiled bitterly, "Then let me have some. After dinner, Yangjun, please go shopping with me. I haven't been shopping for a long time."

"Is it okay?" Su Yang raised his head and looked at Sakurajima Mai when he heard that.

"It doesn't matter, as long as we disguise ourselves well." Sakurajima Mai said, taking out disguise props such as a wig, mask and glasses from her bag.

"Uh..." Su Yang looked at this scene and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I have been looking forward to going shopping with you, Yang Jun, for a long time."

Sakurajima Mai smiled, but this smile seemed a little disappointed. However, the disappointment soon disappeared, and was replaced by expectation, eyes full of expectation.

"Sorry." Su Yang lowered his head slightly.

"It's okay." Sakurajima Mai smiled happily, "After all, from now on, we will be a couple."

"Ah."

............

After the meal, Sakurajima Mai and Su Yang walked side by side and leisurely into the bustling Peninsula Commercial Street.

The streets and alleys were bustling with people, and there were all kinds of shops. The colorful neon lights intertwined into a vivid urban picture. The two of them shuttled among the bustling crowds, enjoying this unique urban style.

After dinner, before the business activity that Sakurajima Mai participated in started, Su Yang and Sakurajima Mai came here.

Suddenly, Mai Sakurajima's attention was caught by a glittering claw machine in the shopping mall.

Inside a claw machine, a cute Q-version doll was pressed against the glass window, and its delicate little face happened to meet Mai Sakurajima's gaze unexpectedly.

The workmanship of the doll is extremely fine, and every detail embodies the craftsman's exquisite skills and deep emotions, which makes people love it and almost cannot resist the urge to hug it tightly in their arms.

Mai Sakurajima's heartbeat seemed to slow down a little, as if the flow of time had slowed down in her pulse.

That doll seemed to be a Q-version doll of an idol group called "Sweet Bullet".

Facing Sakurajima Mai's perspective is a girl named Toyohama Kazuka.

Is Mai still a fan?

Su Yang thought in his heart.

However, Su Yang couldn't suppress his inner thoughts after all, and he spoke bluntly.

"To be honest, entertainment facilities like claw machines are really deceptive. I once learned on the Internet in our world that the gripping force of this kind of machine can actually be adjusted manually."

"If the mall is ruthless, even if you spend dozens of times more than the doll itself, you may not be able to successfully grab the doll you like. The mysteries and traps involved are really helpless and ridiculous."

Mai Sakurajima slightly opened and closed her lips, pursed them for a moment, and then a hint of confusion revealed in her voice, but this confusion was obviously pretended.

"Regarding that claw machine, I never seem to have shown any desire to try it. Maybe you misunderstood me, Mr. Yang?"

"Besides, don't you think it's inappropriate to say this to a girl who is dating you, Yang Jun?"

Mai Sakurajima gave Su Yang a blank look.

"Let me reveal the truth to you and let you see the true face of these unscrupulous merchants. They are like wolves in sheep's clothing, pretending to be kind and friendly on the surface, but in fact they have evil intentions and are only pursuing their own selfish interests."

Su Yang seemed to be deaf to Sakurajima Mai's words. He was immersed in his own thoughts and walked forward on his own.

Of course, how could Su Yang not know what Sakurajima Mai meant? He was just pretending.

There was a hint of irritation in Mai Sakurajima's voice, which seemed to be mixed with some complicated emotions. She frowned slightly and asked with a bit of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Yang Jun, are you really listening to every word I say?"

However, the corners of Mai Sakurajima's mouth slightly raised.

Obviously, this cunning guy had already seen through my inner thoughts, but he deliberately chose a more tactful and smooth way to speak, as if to leave me room so that I could accept his words decently.

However, Sakurajima Mai looked at Su Yang standing in front of the coin exchange machine with a helpless look on his face, and Sakurajima Mai smiled, and her smile was very happy.

"Yang Jun, let me do it."

Mai Sakurajima had already skillfully exchanged the required coins. However, at this moment her body seemed to be affected by an inexplicable gravitational force that pulled her irresistibly, causing her to involuntarily choose to stay quietly beside Su Yang.

After watching Mai Sakurajima insert the coin.

Su Yang took over the console and whispered, "I think the coins you exchanged for Mai are not enough to successfully capture this doll. We may need to spend more time and effort and invest some extra costs to have a chance to get it."

While Su Yang was talking, the machine's mechanical claws descended silently and, with amazing precision and stability, gently hooked the Q-version doll that Sakurajima Mai liked.

Mai Sakurajima couldn't contain her inner excitement, she clenched her hands into fists, her eyes flashing with unconcealable joy.

Su Yang slowly turned around and faced Sakurajima Mai, with a meaningful smile on his face. He lowered his voice and spoke in a soft but firm tone.

"Don't be too excited, as these machines are usually quite cleverly designed. They can capture dolls accurately, but they often release their claws unexpectedly when they are lifted in the air, causing the dolls to fall back to their original positions."

"Eh? Is that so?" Mai Sakurajima didn't understand this. After all, she had never come across a claw machine before.

Under Su Yang's firm and confident gaze, Mai Sakurajima's nervousness could hardly be concealed, and she stared at the front closely. The machine carefully hooked the cute "Sweet Bullet" member Toyohama Kazuka Q version doll, and it moved slowly, and every step seemed so precious and nervous.

The whole scene seemed to be shrouded in a wonderful atmosphere, full of anticipation and tension, as if waiting for an important moment to arrive.

"Mai, just wait and see. I bet it will fall here. This is how shopping malls cheat consumers out of their money. Huh? Why didn't it fall? Oh my God, how is this possible?"

Su Yang's face originally showed a calm expression of being confident and having a plan in place, but in a flash, that calmness was replaced by a strong shock. An incredible emotion quietly emerged on his face and gradually occupied his entire expression.

Finally, a pleasant rustling sound echoed in the air, and the cute Q-version doll slid to the exit accurately. The whole process seemed so natural and smooth, as pleasing to the eye as a carefully choreographed dance.
