Half an hour later, Kucha stood up and applauded.

She waited until she got everyone’s attention, then smiled and said, “Now that everyone is familiar with each other, there’s no need for us to stay in the cafe all the time... This afternoon, we’ll need to visit as many famous places in Akihabara as humanly possible.”

Everyone was okay with it... Some of them were even looking forward to it. It felt different when visiting Akihabara alone compared to visiting with a group of people.

“Take care, master. Remember to come back again~”

Under the soft voice of the maids and the leadership of Kucha, everyone went out with a face full of enthusiasm.

“Our first stop is the featured shops in 2K540 street! It’s just nearby.” Kucha felt relieved after seeing that everyone was up for anything. The most embarrassing situation for the offline gathering was the awkwardness under a quiet atmosphere. But obviously... they were all very familiar with everyone in the group, and they were just like friends after chit-chatting with one another offline.

The offline gathering was to let everyone get close to each other. It seemed that the situation was not too bad at the moment. However, the boyfriend of Shiori-chan seemed to be relatively cold... he did not say much after arriving.

However, this was pretty normal... Kazuki had just joined the group a few days ago, not to mention that he was not much of a talkative person, and he was not familiar with the others. It may have been that he joined the group to protect Shiori-chan.

Of course, the word ‘protect’ could be said as monitoring. After all, Shiori-chan was very beautiful.

Sigh... men’s desire to control.

Then under the situation where everyone was in high spirits, very soon, they arrived at the featured shops of 2K540 street. The street name of 2K540 was derived from the value of the distance from Tokyo Station, it was a street with a design full of modernity. From Japanese traditional craftsmen workshops to art exhibition halls, cafes, and grocery stores. Altogether, there were more than 40 shops. Everyone could experience a different Akihabara under the intertwining of traditional and modern culture.

Everyone knew that this was the first stop, they did not plan to buy too many things.

Although Kazuki did not talk much, he felt chilled and relaxed in his heart. It had been quite a long time since he last felt like this. He did not have to worry about his studies, learning, practice, etc.; his mind was clear of thoughts, and overall it was relaxing.

Combining work with pleasure was the top priority. Kazuki knew that he would not feel disappointed even if he did not gain anything from today’s offline gathering.

“What do you think about this bracelet?” Chiba Shiori was happily selecting in an emporium. She lifted a bracelet made of various strange transparent stones and asked Kazuki with expectation and anticipation all over her face.

“Not bad, it suits you very well.” Kazuki did not stay in stony silence. Although he was considered as a straight man, he was not an idiot. For sure, he knew what to say in different situations. The offline gathering today was a relaxing day, he would not be the party pooper.

Same for Chiba Shiori, she did not ask Kazuki again regarding the mysterious problem.

Two of them walked along with the stores on the street; besides the two, there were no other people from the group around them. Although it was an offline gathering, it was inevitable to force everyone to shop at the same shop together. Thus, Kucha gave everyone half an hour of free time and would assemble at a specific venue when it was time, then they would head to the next stop.

Some young men attended the gathering. All of them wanted to have a chat with Chiba Shiori. But obviously, Kazuki had broken their fantasies when they were still in the cafe.

Half an hour later, everyone gathered together once again and headed for Akihabara UDX.

A tall building could be seen directly in front of the exit of the street that sold electrical appliances, Akihabara UDX.

The animation-related activities were often held on the second floor of Akihabara Square, while the fourth floor was the Tokyo Animation Centre, which was their destination.

The Tokyo Animation Centre was not too big. Still, the publicity booths and related materials of the recent popular animation games could be seen there, attracting many foreign tourists every day. There were also animated products being sold all around them. Many people who came to visit would buy some of the limited edition products to keep as souvenirs.

However, when they arrived on the second floor, they were surprised; it seemed that there was a complementary comic con being held in Akihabara Square. And the space on the second floor of Akihabara Square was ample and could accommodate about a thousand people. But of course, it could not be compared to CM, the most significant exhibition center in Japan and even worldwide.

Kucha then checked with the staff member and realized that the organizers of this exhibition did not charge for the event. She asked in surprise, “It seems like the organizers organized this exhibition to promote their new projects, and therefore it is free of charge... I’m planning to walk around here, how about you guys?”

“I’m also planning to take a look...”

“Of course, we should look around first since it’s free.”

“There is plenty of time anyway, let’s visit the anime convention first!”

Everyone agreed to take a look at the exhibition first since it was still early. Same as previously, they did not walk around at the exhibition together. Chiba Shiori naturally stayed together with Kazuki like peas and carrots, and it was the envy of many men.

Chiba Shiori bought a pair of glasses in the emporium at 2K540. The most prominent feature of this pair of glasses was that it was big. It could cover half the face of Chiba Shiori when she put it on and only obscure a small margin of her perfect face.

To Kazuki, it was an unnecessary move. This was not a two-dimension place, where the temperament and appearance could be magically covered up just by wearing a pair of glasses. From the eyes of the people around them, this had no effect at all.

Many people who were with their camera was ready for action when they looked at Chiba Shiori. Maybe they could take some photos even though she was not in a cosplay costume. However, when their eyes met Kazuki’s, his cold and sharp gaze made them retreat.

“Kazuki, why are there so many people gathered in front?” Chiba Shiori held the hand of Kazuki and intimately called his name. Now, they were role-playing as a couple, they could not come off as suspicious.

The open space in front of the two was surrounded by many people. The sound of something snapping was endless. It was apparent that the person could attract many people to take photos together; that person was definitely a well-known cosplayer.

As a result, Chiba Shiori’s face fell after she identified the cosplayer who was surrounded by people in the middle.

She gave a quiet cough and said, “Let’s go to other places.”

“What happened?” Humans will always carry a heart of curiosity. He certainly noticed the unnatural expression on Chiba Shiori’s face. He ignored the intention of her trying to get him to go to other places. Due to his height, just by tiptoeing a little, he could clearly see the cosplayer in the middle.

As he set eyes upon that person, Kazuki was stunned for a moment... No wonder Chiba Shiori looked unnatural. The costume of the cosplayer who was being surrounded in the middle was too exposed... the upper body was covered with transparent gauze, and the lower body was wearing super short pants that outlined her body.

It would be insulting to describe it in one word. However, there was a variety of people at the exhibition. Same to cosplayers, some of the girls could use all means to attract attention. Who were you to control how others wore their clothes? After all, their bodies belonged to them.

Frowning slightly, he lost the desire to continue watching. However, he was stunned for a moment after he saw the charming face of that cosplayer. Her face gave him a feeling of familiarity. But he knew that he had never seen her before, so how could he have this familiar feeling?

He organized his thoughts and realized that it was the first time he saw her face. He had never come into contact with her before, the same to the owner of this body. There was no impression in his memory.

Chiba Shiori blushed after she noticed that many boys were looking at her. She quickly dragged Kazuki and left for another place.

This time Kazuki did not reject, as he was still thinking.

He had never seen that person before, but why did a feeling of familiarity gush through him?
