Zongman: A Second Dimension Girl Comes to Me

Ying Lili was surprised when she heard Duanmu Che calling her.

This was the first time Duanmu Che spoke to her since he entered school.

She felt a little nervous.

Although Duanmu Che promised to keep it a secret for her and not tell anyone else that she was an otaku, she was still a little worried that Duanmu Che would reveal her secret in the classroom.

However, Ying Lili was not disgusted by Duanmu Che's conversation, and even felt a slight joy.

As an otaku, from childhood to adulthood, except for her parents, no one around her shared the same hobbies as her.

After being laughed at by classmates for publicly declaring herself an otaku in elementary school, she dared not reveal her true self again. She usually acted like a dignified and delicate young lady in school.

With her outstanding looks, first-class family background, and painting skills that are so superb that she can be called the ace of the school art club, she is a popular and beautiful girl known to the whole school, even in Shuchiin Academy, which is attended by students from famous chaebol families, and has become friends with many girls.

However, when she returned home to watch late-night animation and play galgame, she always felt lonely inside.

Because her friends didn't know her hobbies, no one could really understand her.

Now things are a little different.

Ying Lili never thought that her deskmate Duanmu Che was also a otaku, and he even discovered her secret.

She has always had a wish, which is to have a friend who has the same hobbies as her, with whom she can discuss ACG topics such as comics, animation, games and light novels without scruples and share their feelings.

After recommending several comics and light novels to Duanmu Che last weekend, she had such expectations for Duanmu Che, hoping that he could communicate with her and become a like-minded person with her.

However, Monday and Tuesday passed and Duanmu Che never talked to her, which made Ying Lili feel lost.

I feel like I should be more proactive.

But she was a little lacking in confidence.

Perhaps for Duanmu Che, comics, animation, games and light novels are just ordinary entertainment in daily life. He is not as obsessed with homebodies as she is, to the point of treating them as spiritual food.

After all, he has a childhood sweetheart by his side, and he has rejected love confessions from more than 20 girls.

Ying Lili hesitated like this until noon today, when Duanmu Che finally spoke to her.

"I just met senior sister Kasumigaoka on the rooftop." Duanmu Che chose his words carefully.

"Hey, Kasumigaoka-senpai?" Eriri was stunned.

"Well, I talked to her about my thoughts after reading Love Metronome."

"Is that so?" Ying Lili had a hint of envy on her face.

After the book signing event last weekend, she also learned that Kasumigaoka Utaha is the author of "Love Metronome", Kasumigaoka Utako.

In her eyes, it is a great thing to be able to exchange ideas with light novel writers face to face.

"However, Senior Kasumigaoka seems to be worried about the poor sales of Love Metronome. She has been asking me about the shortcomings of Love Metronome. It seems that she is worried that the sales will not meet the qualification and the publishing house will cancel the book. It's such a pity. It is obviously well written, but the sales are not very high." Duanmu Che pretended to sigh.

"Cut in half? Not really!" Ying Lili's attention was immediately attracted by Duanmu Che's words.

Given her experience of reading hundreds of light novels, an excellent work like "Love Metronome" should not be cut off.

"From what Senior Kasumigaoka said, the situation is probably not optimistic." Duanmu Che shook his head, sighed, and then deliberately said, "The quality of Love Metronome is not bad. The reason why its sales are not good is probably due to insufficient publicity resources and insufficient exposure.

If only there were some ACG YouTube celebrities or Twitter masters who could promote Love Metronome spontaneously, then Love Metronome might attract enough readers and not be cut by the publisher. "

When Ying Lili heard Duanmu Che's words, her heart moved.

To promote "Love Metronome"?

She could help with that.

It would be a shame if "Love Metronome" was cut short.

She also wanted to see how many times the heroine Sayuka would confess before she could completely break down the wall of the hero Isumi's heart.

After I get home this afternoon, I’ll draw a character illustration of Sayuka and post it on Twitter to promote it.

She made the decision.

Seeing the change in Ying Lili's expression, Duanmu Che smiled slightly.

As long as she knew that "Love Metronome" might be cancelled, with Eriri's kind personality, she would probably help promote Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"By the way, Sawamura-san, the comics you recommended are all good. I just finished reading "The Girl Who Can See", and the new character, the Yandere Cthulhu Girl, is really impressive."

After solving the problem of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Duanmu Tetsuya and Eriri started discussing comics.

I have to say that as a veteran otaku, Eriri has a very good eye and the comics she chooses are very much to his liking.

"As long as you like it, I can recommend you a few more." Ying Lili smiled happily.

Duanmu Che's hobbies were similar to hers, and there was indeed a good chance that the two of them would become like-minded.

"Thank you very much." Duanmu Che said happily.

On the other side of the classroom, Kato Megumi saw this scene and clenched the pen in her hand slightly.

Duanmu Che's romantic luck seems to be getting better and better recently.

"Before I noticed, have Toru-kun and Sawamura-kun become so close?"

She felt a strong sense of urgency.

Should I express my feelings to Duanmu Che as soon as possible?

After school, Duanmu Che, who had signed in at the Service Club, met up with Kato Megumi and walked towards the station.

On the way, Kato Megumi was silent and did not chat with him as usual. She seemed to have something on her mind.

"Hui, what's wrong?" Duanmu Che was a little surprised.

"Tetsu-kun, I..." Kato Megumi opened her mouth.

She actually wanted to tell Duanmu Che that she liked him, but she was still worried that Duanmu Che had no feelings for her, and the relationship between them would never be the same as before.

"Nothing, I just don't feel well, maybe a little tired."

In the end, Kato Megumi couldn't muster up the courage and found an excuse.

"Are you not feeling well? I'm sorry for the hard work you've had during this period. I will recruit a new employee this weekend." Duanmu Che thought for a moment and felt that it was Tsukishima Xuan's work that had dragged down Kato Megumi.

Now that Tsukishimaken's business is on track, there is no need to trouble Kato Megumi for help.

He also didn't want to let Kato Megumi work for nothing anymore. Even if they were childhood sweethearts, this shouldn't happen.

In a week at most, with the income from Tsukishima Ken, he would be able to pay off all his previous bank debts. At that time, he would be able to return the salary that Kato Megumi deserved to her in the form of a gift.
