The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

Coming out of Dengeki Bunko, Xia Qiu suddenly felt that the hard work of the past few days had paid off! At least he had earned the money! He no longer had to go hungry! He could even drink happy water without adding ice or water!

Anyway, I finally gained a foothold in Neon.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, I boarded the Shinkansen to go home. Since it was still early, and since I had taken a special day off today, I might as well go to Akihabara, a place I had always wanted to go but had never been to due to lack of money!

I've long wanted to try the maid cafe here! I heard it's a big feature!

When I watched anime in the past, Xia Qiu wanted to try the service in a maid cafe.

Now it can be said that the dream has come true perfectly.

After arriving in Akihabara in summer, I felt that it was huge and full of otakus! Everywhere was filled with two-dimensional elements and dazzling surroundings.

It’s simply a paradise for otakus!

"It's a pity that I haven't received the bonus yet, otherwise I would have bought a few galgames back home."

There is not much money left in my pocket now, so it is unlikely that I can make a big purchase. I can only satisfy my visual needs.

However, Xia Qiu was a little hesitant in front of the maid cafe. Although she said that she wanted to go in and take a look, she was always a little hesitant when people arrived at the door.

After all, I'm not that thick-skinned.

Forget it! What is the purpose of life! Just for the sweet Sakura girl to call me Onii-chan!

So do it! Let’s go!

"Welcome Master!"

The maids at the door bent down and bowed majestically, which scared Xia Qiu who had just mustered up the courage.

Suddenly, the courage that had just emerged quickly declined.

It turns out that watching anime and experiencing it in real life are two different things after all. I feel so socially dead.

Led by the maid to an empty table, Xia Qiu wished he could bury his head in the menu like a quail.

Fortunately, there are no acquaintances around here, otherwise where would he put his old face?

"Master, have you ordered? Nana-chan recommends the omelette rice, and today's special, the super delicious Mee Pu tea."

She is so good at it! The master's shout made Xia Qiu feel a little proud. It turned out that this trip to the maid cafe was not in vain.

"Then let's have an omelette rice and that milk tea."

"Oh? Master, we don't have ordinary milk tea in our store. We have the super delicious Mee Pu tea from QQ Neinei."

Xia Qiu was stunned when he heard this and looked at the lovely young maid in front of him with a puzzled look.

I suspect you are trying to deceive me.

"Hahaha, I won't tease my lovely master anymore. An omelette rice and milk tea, right?"

This is the first time such a good-looking boy has come into the store, how can I not tease him?

After that, Xia Qiu experienced what could be described as the worst kind of social death!

You need to recite a cute spell to make the omelette rice even more delicious!

Xia Qiu suddenly had a psychological trauma... She would have to carefully decide whether to continue coming to the maid cafe next time.

The omelette rice was ok, just like any other omelette rice, a little sweet but edible.

Just as Xia Qiu was eating, it seemed that the maid cafe's business was a bit good today and there were not enough seats in the store, so a maid asked Xia Qiu if she could share a table with other guests.

Xia Qiu said it was no problem, he would leave after eating anyway and wouldn't stay for long.

Then, led by a maid, a girl wearing the most old-fashioned sportswear and golden twin ponytails sat opposite Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glance at the girl in front of him. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sighed that the world was really small.

"Xia Qiu classmate!! Ugh!"

The golden-haired girl with twin ponytails on the opposite side also obviously saw Xia Qiu, and she read out Xia Qiu's name with her eyes wide open.

Then he obviously realized that something was wrong and covered his mouth.

In response to this, Xia Qiu sighed helplessly. He had just planned to pretend he didn't know her and just finish his meal and leave, but who knew that this golden-haired lady would make things so awkward.

Obviously, the person sitting opposite Xia Qiu was Ying Lili.

A mixed-race girl who looks bright and beautiful in school! She is undoubtedly one of the most popular girls in school. But who would have known that Eriri is actually a geeky girl who likes to hang out in Akihabara like other otakus?

And looking at the bags of spoils that Yinglili carried, it was obvious that she had just come back from a shopping trip.

"I, I, I... you, you, you..."

Ying Lili was so anxious that she could hardly speak.

Seeing Ying Lili like this, Xia Qiu had no choice but to continue pretending not to know her. He looked at Ying Lili with a puzzled look and asked.

"Do I know you, then?"

Hearing Xia Qiu say this, Ying Lili was stunned for a moment, then she realized that her appearance was indeed very different from her image in school. Moreover, although she and Xia Qiu sat at the desks in front and behind each other, they rarely talked to each other.

So it was normal that Xia Qiu did not recognize me.

Thinking of this, Ying Lili felt relieved and said with an awkward smile: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person just now. I thought you were my friend."

Hey, hey, hey, Miss, your excuse is too far-fetched. Aren't you trying to cover up the truth? Am I not the only foreign student in your school named Xia Qiu? My name is not very popular. Aren't you telling me directly that you and I should know each other?

However, in order to give Eriri some face, Xia Qiu still nodded as if he agreed with this reason, and then paid the bill and left the maid cafe.

Call ~

Ying Lili breathed a sigh of relief, obviously feeling that she had fooled him this time and was lucky that her classmates hadn't discovered her.

"But I didn't expect to meet Xia Qiu here. Is that guy also a member of the otaku culture? He doesn't look like one. His face and the way he's obviously dressed up look like he just came back from a party. Eh? What's this?"

Ying Lili suddenly saw the contract that Xia Qiu accidentally left on the table.

It’s not that Eriri wanted to see this, but the big words “Dengeki Bunko Contract” written on it were too eye-catching.

Is it from Xiaqiu? Could it be left by the guests at the table?

Ying Lili thought about it, picked up the contract and opened it.

I found out that this is actually Xia Qiu's contract, and the work he signed is actually the light novel "Your Lie in April" which has been popular on the Internet recently.

This made Ying Lili open her mouth in surprise!

This is really incredible! The novel "Four Lies" was actually written by her classmate, the person who sat behind her and had never communicated with her.
