"Wow! The combination of these snacks tastes amazing!"
Barbara copied the others' method. After one bite, her face lit up with satisfaction.
Her eyes curved into crescents.
As expected—
coming over to eat was absolutely the right decision!
"Boss Han, why is this called 'Otaku Happy Water'? And what's an 'otaku'?"
After regaining her composure, Barbara examined the bottle in her hand curiously.
"Happiness" was easy to understand—
paired with the two snacks, it really did make people feel good.
But "otaku"?
That didn't sound very flattering.
In her words, Lumine and Noelle also looked over.
After all, girls were particularly sensitive to the word "fat."
"Otaku" originally referred to overweight homebodies, though later it became more of a joking term.
And cola—
was their beloved drink.
"Since you're curious, I'll show you."
A smile appeared at the corner of Han Feng's lips.
He waved his hand lightly.
An image appeared above the shop.
In the picture was a bespectacled man with an extremely bloated body, sitting on a chair.
His face was round and stuffed with flesh.
Unkempt beard. Sloppy appearance.
The textbook image of a "dead-fat otaku."
"So that's what an otaku looks like?"
Lumine studied it with curiosity.
How did someone even get that big?
"Wait… we won't become like that after drinking this, right?"
Noelle suddenly asked nervously.
The man in the picture was honestly terrifying.
"B-Become like that?"
Barbara froze.
Her imagination ran wild—herself round and heavy, squeezed into a chair.
Every slight movement makes the chair creak ominously.
Yet still happily chugging cola bottle after bottle.
She went pale.
If she ever became like that—she might as well die.
She was Mondstadt's idol!
Had anyone ever seen an idol shaped like that?!
She quickly turned to Han Feng.
"Boss Han… it's not really true like Noelle said, right?"
"It's true. Even worse than that."
Han Feng said seriously.
(He was obviously teasing her.)
Sure, cola could cause weight gain—but only with long-term excessive consumption.
And this wasn't his old world.
Even if ordinary people were different—
Barbara and Lumine were strong individuals who exercised regularly.
They had nothing to worry about.
"But… then I won't drink it."
Barbara immediately put the cola down.
For girls like her—
beauty clearly outweighed happiness.
"It's fine, Barbara. Boss Han is teasing you."
Lumine quickly reassured her.
At first, she had been startled too—
but after seeing that familiar serious-yet-scheming look on Han Feng's face—she knew.
She had been tricked enough times to recognize the signs.
Experience had made her wise.
"You're sure?"
Barbara hesitated.
"Even if you gain a little weight, you can just lose it later."
Lumine handed the cola back.
Barbara thought for a moment—then shook her head firmly.
"I'll just eat the snacks."
Her concert was coming soon.
It was extremely important.
She couldn't risk even the slightest accident.
If she showed up even a little plump—
Mondstadt's idol might turn into Mondstadt's laughingstock.
"Sigh… Boss Han really does enjoy tricking people."
Noelle sighed helplessly.
On the other side—
Venti overheard everything.
He set down his cola and shook his head.
"Sigh. What's wrong with getting a little fat? Happiness matters most!"
"Master is right!"
The Maine Coon beast nodded seriously—
and chugged another full bottle of cola.
It was just too refreshing.
Despite the small commotion, the atmosphere remained relaxed.
Snacking and chatting— it was wonderfully comfortable.
Just then—
a graceful figure slowly descended from the second floor.
Everyone looked over.
It was Lisa, who had gone upstairs earlier to read.
Her face was slightly flushed—
but she wore a satisfied smile.
However—something was different.
The clothes she wore now were not the same as before.
When she went upstairs, she was wearing a purple robe.
Now—she was wearing a man's coat.
The atmosphere turned strange.
Because everyone recognized it.
That coat—was the one Boss Han had worn yesterday.
"Lisa… why are you wearing Boss Han's clothes?"
Barbara finally asked, unable to hold back her curiosity.
For once, a rare hint of embarrassment flashed across Lisa's calm face.
After finishing the manga in Boss Han's room—a golden light descended.
A glowing bowl of egg rice appeared in her hands.
It looked exquisite.
The fragrance was irresistible.
And since she was alone—she couldn't resist tasting it.
The flavor was incredible.
But the "exploding clothes" effect was just as powerful as before.
Blushing.
Leg-clenching.
Soft moaning.
The full combo.
When she finally regained her senses—
everything except her hat had been destroyed.
She obviously couldn't walk out like that.
So, with no other choice—
Lisa had searched the room and borrowed one of Boss Han's coats.
It was a little oversized—
but it worked.
Like a girl wearing her boyfriend's shirt.
It carried a different kind of charm.
Except—
in Lisa's case—
It was a coat.
