Chapter 23: The Light Expedition's Letter of Invitation!
(Third update! Seeking recommendations! Favorites! If there's a reward, that would be even better!)
"That woman has two brushes."
"What's gotten into you all of a sudden, Haicheng?"
After leaving the office in Akihabara, according to their previous agreement, Sosuke and two others from the "Game Lovers' Club" arrived at a maid cafe in Akihabara.
This coffee shop is located in the central street of the main road, close to the shopping mall and home appliance specialty building, so there is a huge flow of people and a rich source of customers.
The signboard at the entrance of the coffee shop, in addition to the name "Rabbit House", also has a group photo of the maid service girls. The black and white maid uniforms are the main attraction for customers.
As the vanguard of the troops, Sosuke pushed open the door, and the sound of the doorbell attracted the attention of the doorman.
When the guests entered the store, the waitress bowed her head and politely said:
"Welcome back, master!"
Facing such a must-kill situation, anyone would feel relieved, right?
Hai Cheng and Lin Xuan, who were behind him, quickly followed up. The two of them seemed to be not very adapted to this place, after all, they were different from Sōsuke and had only come into contact with the profound otaku culture in the past few months.
It's unclear whether it was Sosuke's influence or the charm of anime, but the two of them managed to memorize a large amount of anime knowledge and content over several months, and this kind of behavior is also very common among them.
As for the name of this cafe, Sosuke suddenly thought of an anime, but for now, let's first see if there are any seats available.
"Hello."
Just as the three of them had just walked into the coffee shop, a black-haired maid in charge of reception came forward to greet them.
She wore a simple and plain maid outfit, with a large pink bow on the left side of her hair serving as decoration, and another black and white bow adorned at the back, looking very cute.
Holding an order form in his left hand and a water-based pen in his right hand, he politely asked.
"Excuse me, would you like some human flesh today?"
"At least say rabbit!"
Reflexively retorted.
The maid girl smiled and tilted her head, immediately changing her tone.
"Would you like some dumplings today?"
"Don't talk about arms trafficking as if it's some kind of menu!"
"What an interesting guest, this way please, there are a few seats left, can I have the one near the window?"
"Rather just right."
The position close to the window is Sosuke's favorite place, and in the coffee shop at the entrance of the college, Sosuke always chooses a position close to the window.
It's actually not a habit, but an instinct and feeling.
Sitting by the window can see things outside the window, even if it is in a coffee shop, you can still feel the outside world.
The hustle and bustle of the city, the bright car lights, the sweltering heat of summer, and the endless blue sky. In this busy metropolis, sitting in a quiet corner of a coffee shop, sipping a cup of coffee and gazing at the blue sky is also a kind of enjoyment.
Led by the waitress to her seat, after ordering, the waiter immediately left to arrange the food.
Sō Yū ordered a cup of pure coffee, and the remaining two people didn't choose anything strange either. Lin Xuan and Hai Cheng respectively chose chocolate milkshake and large pudding.
He placed the laptop he had been carrying on the desk, and after opening it, his fingers danced across the keyboard. However, he seemed to have some free time, so he took advantage of this opportunity to ask about what happened with Sosuke earlier.
"Isn't the boss supposed to dislike pure coffee? You've rejected it many times before, citing reasons like 'bitter and tasteless, while also affecting sleep'."
"It's also good to try occasionally, life needs challenges."
Sō made up an excuse, but in fact he only ordered a plain coffee to use the caffeine to energize himself, after all there were many things to attend to from now on.
Haicheng fiddled with his laptop for a moment, then looked out the window like Sosuke. The autumn leaves of the original were still bustling with people at noon, full of vitality.
"What did you and Lin Xuan talk about, by the way?"
Hearing Sō's question, Kaicheng also looked at Lin Xuan together with him.
She shrugged as if nothing had happened and Lin Xuan, who slightly pouted her pink lips, told the conversation with Kijirou Chinatsu.
The conversation content wasn't actually something that needed to be kept secret, it's just that Miss Chenzi hoped Lin Xuan could join Capcom as a voice actor after graduation.
In short, it's similar to poaching.
Upon hearing such an explanation, Sosuke simply let out a simple hum of acknowledgement.
"Who would let our ACE voice actor go? Lin Xuan will follow me from now on, the treatment will definitely be much better than that company."
"I'm not going to follow someone with the lowest deviation value in the whole school. If you want me to stay, make me the first place."
"You're really arrogant, Miss Lin Xuan."
"Of course, one percent of pride, one percent of tenderness, and the remaining ninety-eight percent is iron and steel."
Lin Xuan seems to have started calling herself 'Iron Lady'.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Haicheng let out a sigh.
"Could it be that the voice actor who was sent out due to trust is coming to harass me because of his arrogance towards the company president?!"
"Your nails are too long!"
Lin Xuan and Zuo You ridiculed together.
Indeed, Haicheng sincerely recognized his own mistakes.
After all, this pinch comes from the NTR game "Trust and send out the futon girlfriend who is infatuated with the rural uncle's perversion education and even sends a V-hand gesture video tape", but it's not suitable for minors.
However, Haicheng coughed.
"Your two-person rant just now was very in sync, doesn't that mean you have a good relationship? Lin Xuan did the same thing last time, ranting with the president about me."
"It's okay, Moe can endure."
Lin Xuan said the famous line from the PV of 3DS action game "Almighty God", then put on sunglasses and took out a metal rod.
"As soon as it flashes, everyone will lose their memory."
"Do you think we're filming 'Men in Black 4'?"
Zuo Yu took a deep breath and was about to speak when Hai Cheng interrupted him.
He pushed his laptop into the middle of the three people and pointed at the webpage on it
"Found something interesting, a week later, the【Inter-generational Light Novel Competition】co-hosted by Kadokawa Bunko, Fujimi Fantasia Bunko and Dengeki Bunko will start! The submission period is three months, the review period is one month, it's a four-month long competition. Since the president's script is so good, why not try writing a light novel?"
"This might be a bit difficult."
And without mentioning grammatical issues, this kind of large-scale light competition is generally a gathering of high-level players. Even with system assistance, an incomplete book cannot achieve victory.
It's better to spend those months making games and anime rather than writing novels.
"Isn't Sōsu going to participate?"
"Linxiao also thinks I should go?"
"Hai Cheng and I are both bad at writing things, so it's up to you now. After becoming famous, the influence will be even greater, right?"
"That's indeed correct."
And when the time comes, I will support you too!
Lin Xuan stuttered and finished speaking, then moved her body to the other side, creating some distance between them.
Is it a light match? Sosuke thought for a moment, and apart from the support of his two friends, he also developed some interest.
Give it a try, it's not bad, right?
The current Gundam can still fight for another 50 years, by the way this sentence is from the character Amuro Ray in Mobile Suit Gundam.
