Chapitre 32: The Encounter Between Loli And An Otaku
In this world, Tuesday is a very special day of the week. Why is it special? Because on this day, everyone around the world gets an hour of rest, whether you are at school, at work, or even if you are a civil servant.
Unless it is a special job, everyone can arrange this rest time for themselves and enjoy it.
Of course, generally speaking, companies and schools will unify the rest time in advance to avoid confusion. They might start an hour later or finish an hour earlier. This hour is called the "Peace Hour."
This is because the Second World War in this world was so intense that some countries suffered heavy losses and feared that continued fighting would lead to human extinction. They proposed ending the war and sharing peace.
After more than a month of negotiations, on June 19, 1945, which happened to be a Tuesday, representatives of various countries signed the peace treaty on New Brelia Island.
The war ended at the moment the treaty was signed. This news was simultaneously communicated to people around the world, causing countless people to cheer and relax after being on edge for so long.
Because of this treaty, which is considered the most important in human history, peace was restored. To remember the painful lessons of war, it was later proposed at the United Nations meeting to "shorten" Tuesday by an hour, with this hour being designated for everyone to rest.
This proposal received support from most member countries just emerging from the shadow of war. After the decision, this shortest holiday named "Peace Hour" was born.
Today, this decision, originally meant to commemorate peace, has gradually become a global tradition over time.
It can be said that it is not only a time of remembrance but has become an indispensable holiday for people.
Well, after all that talk, it's really just an excuse for Chu Lian to sleep in. Although she has been in this world for nearly a year, she is still not quite used to this suddenly added small holiday.
She likes it, but it tends to disrupt her biological clock. In fact, if she thought about how Ayase, who lives in the system space, experiences this every day, she might feel better. Unfortunately, she never considered this.
Dragging her feet for more than half an hour, she finally got up at seven-thirty, yawning as she went to wash up. Afterward, she put on the same clothes and accessories as yesterday. She had several sets of these clothes in her wardrobe, so even if she washed them every day, she could still rotate them.
With more time today than on other days, she didn't want to rush herself. So, she leisurely bought some food to eat while enjoying the scenery along the way. Occasionally, she would stop to sit and watch the flow of people and traffic, feeling quite relaxed.
"Is that... Chu Lian?" At this moment, she was sitting on a park bench, swinging her slender legs in white over-the-knee socks, drinking a bottle of milk. Just as she was about to pick up her backpack and leave, she suddenly heard a shout from afar.
Curiously, she turned around and saw a fat man, estimated to be four or five times her weight, sprinting towards her like he was in a 100-meter race, scaring her. She quickly grabbed her backpack and ran.
The fat man in the tracksuit was still shouting, "Chu Lian-chan, Chu Lian-chan... Black Cat-chan... Black Cat-chan..." But his stamina was too poor. Although Chu Lian was just a little girl, her stamina was better than his.
So he couldn't keep up with her and could only stretch out one hand, gasping for breath, and shout her name and online alias.
Hearing his shouting, Chu Lian stopped, looked back, and saw the fat man bent over, panting heavily. But even so, he kept calling her name, probably a particularly ardent fan?
She glanced around, noticing there were many people around. Even if she went over, it would be difficult for the fat man to catch her with his stamina. Curious, she decided to ask the fat man what he wanted.
Ye Xiulong was bent over, gasping for breath, full of regret for missing the chance to see his goddess in real life. Who knows when he would have another chance.
Suddenly, he saw a pair of slender, white sock-clad legs appear in his field of vision. Overjoyed, he ignored his labored breathing and looked up at Chu Lian.
But just as he looked up, a few drops of sweat got into his eyes, making it hard to see. As he was about to wipe the sweat with his clothes, a light voice rang out, "Hey, big guy, here's a tissue." A tissue was stuffed into his hand and quickly taken away.
He realized that Chu Lian had just placed her small hand in his big hand. It was a shame he had been stunned and didn't hold onto her hand. What a pity.
But he could only think about it; even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to grab her hand. In fact, if it weren't for seeing his goddess, someone with his personality would never take the initiative to talk to a girl.
He lifted his hand and used the fragrant tissue to wipe the sweat from around his eyes. His face showed an expression of great enjoyment, as if savoring the lingering scent left on the tissue by Chu Lian.
After handing the tissue to Ye Xiulong, Chu Lian moved to the side. Seeing his expression now, she looked at him with disdain. She guessed that if she weren't here, he might take the tissue home and smell it every day.
After a while, when Ye Xiulong reluctantly threw the tissue into the trash can, Chu Lian finally asked, "Who are you? Why are you chasing me?" She had guessed the reason, but it was better not to say it outright.
After resting for a while, the fat man regained some of his strength. Hearing Chu Lian's question, he immediately showed a simple smile, which to Chu Lian seemed sleazy. "Chu Lian-chan... no, it's better to call you Black Cat-chan. Black Cat-chan, I am your fan, a super fan! Since the first time I heard your beautiful singing voice, I have regarded you as my goddess! You know, lolis are the most wonderful things in the world!"
Well, here was another person who spoke in a disjointed manner and was deeply influenced by the two-dimensional culture, a hardcore loli-con. Judging by his figure and stamina, he was ninety-nine percent likely a super fat and lazy otaku who lived alone and rarely moved his body.
Ye Xiulong would never know that just by opening his mouth, Chu Lian had already seen through him completely and had internally labeled him as a "fat, useless, and costly otaku." If he knew, he might ask, "I can accept being called fat and useless, but what does 'costly' mean?"
If asked, what does 'costly' mean? Chu Lian would surely give a dismissive look and then proudly snort, "I don't know either..."
The above is purely imaginative ranting and should be ignored...
"So, what's your name?" Although Chu Lian had already seen through him, he was still her fan. While she didn't particularly like this type of person, she wouldn't reject her fans because of it.
"Ye Xiulong, 'Ye' as leaf, 'Xiu' as cultivate, and 'Long' as dragon... although my parents always say they gave me the wrong name, that the dragon didn't cultivate and became a bug, I am still proud of my name. Black Cat-chan, can I take some photos of you?" Ye Xiulong started off somewhat confidently, but by the end, his tone completely deflated, as Chu Lian's pitiful gaze hurt his feelings.
Of course, this only made him like Black Cat-chan even more; being disliked by her wouldn't stop him from liking her. Lolis are supreme, and his life is dedicated to them; let the disdain from lolis come even more fiercely.
"Since I watched your video and learned that we live in the same city, I've been wanting to meet you. For this, I bought the entire series of your previous work, 'The Wizard of Oz,' just to have a chance to meet you. Today, I finally did, so please grant me this request!"
Ye Xiulong wanted to bow but realized he couldn't stand steadily without supporting his knees with his hands, which seemed impolite. After hesitating for a while, he straightened up and looked at Chu Lian with hopeful eyes.
Chu Lian checked the time; it was only 7:50, so she had another 40 minutes to spare. She thought, this is the second fervent fan I've met. Since we've crossed paths, letting him take a few photos wouldn't hurt.
Upon receiving Chu Lian's consent, Ye Xiulong was overjoyed. He took out a DSLR camera from a small bag on his back...
Wait, you're not just a shut-in, how do you carry a DSLR camera around?
"Ahem, besides taking my DSLR camera out for a walk and some photography every Tuesday morning to earn some living expenses, I do spend most of my time alone at home..."
People can't be judged by their appearance. It turned out that the person she thought was a useless shut-in could actually support himself with the photos taken by his camera. She had underestimated him.
Realizing that her fan was not a complete waste, Chu Lian's impression of him improved slightly. At least he could support himself; there was hope for him yet.
Thus, under the skillful lens of a well-known online photographer, the images captured of Chu Lian, dressed in her Suti High School uniform, walking through the park in the morning sun, appeared increasingly beautiful and enchanting.
Chu Lian didn't know how many scenes she had been photographed in. When it was 8:20, she quickly left the park and returned to school, leaving a satisfied Ye Xiulong holding his DSLR camera preciously, gazing at her departing figure.
If there are angels, the one who just handed me a tissue must be the closest to it. It's a pity I couldn't capture that scene; it's too regrettable...
