Due to Yamada Kenta, Tsushima Kagami and Yukinoshita Shizuku were unable to go look at computers as they had agreed.
In the end, the two bought some ingredients at the supermarket and returned home together.
Inside the living room, Yukinoshita Shizuku was preparing ingredients for dinner in the open kitchen to the side, while watching Tsushima Kagami lying on the sofa watching children's anime on TV, ignoring Yukino, who was circling him and meowing.
"Can't you play with Yukino for a bit?"
"Yukino's voice is almost hoarse from shouting."
"I just got back from going out; I'm so tired."
After Tsushima Kagami finished speaking, he grabbed Yukino and held the cat in his arms.
"Let's just watch anime together."
"Well, I just got back too and I'm still preparing ingredients to make dinner."
"You're really working hard; I'll be counting on you in the future too."
After Tsushima Kagami gave Yukinoshita Shizuku a perfunctory reply, he took a potato chip from a bag nearby and started eating.
"We're about to have dinner; eat fewer snacks!"
"Relax, relax, I'll definitely be able to finish dinner."
Just then, a system notification sound suddenly rang in Tsushima Kagami's mind.
[Treat pets like lovers too.]
[Mission Published]
[Mission: The cat wants to hear a cat song. Sing a song it likes~]
[Mission Reward: Skill — That Slip of the Cat]
[Reward Description: As everyone knows, a cat's reaction speed is six times that of a human. If it feels uncomfortable, it will walk away on its own.]
Once the mission was published, Tsushima Kagami immediately sat up.
The previous mission was actually considered complete when he submitted his manuscript a few days ago, and Tsushima Kagami had also received the reward skill: [Hypnosis APP]. However, he didn't dare to test that thing randomly, so he hadn't used it yet. He didn't expect to trigger another mission today.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing Tsushima Kagami suddenly sit up straight again, Yukinoshita Shizuku looked over in confusion.
Tsushima Kagami looked at Yukinoshita Shizuku, then picked up Yukino again.
"Let me tell you two a joke."
Yukinoshita Shizuku blinked her eyes, continuing to prepare dinner while making a gesture of listening attentively.
"In the big forest, a donkey told a joke. All the small animals were amused, but only the cat didn't laugh. Guess why?"
"Why?"
Yukinoshita Shizuku shook her head and looked over curiously.
"Because Hachimi is hard to be teased by a donkey!"
"I suddenly feel so cold. So, what is the connection between honey water, cats, and donkeys?"
"Actually, there isn't really any connection."
Why did he suddenly feel a bit lonely playing with rotten memes when no one accompanied him?
"Why do you look unhappy all of a sudden?" Yukinoshita Shizuku asked curiously, seeing Tsushima Kagami suddenly look desolate.
"I'm very happy! So, I'm going to use honey water to sing a song for Yukino!"
After speaking, Tsushima Kagami placed Yukino on the sofa, and then, imitating Tokai Teio, he began to dance with his hands and feet.
"Honey honey honey honey~"
"After licking the honey~"
"Legs legs legs legs legs legs~"
"Will become faster~"
"Are you okay?"
Watching Tsushima Kagami's strange tune, strange lyrics, and strange dance, Yukinoshita Shizuku was a little afraid and a little worried.
After he repeated it several times, Yukino on the sofa suddenly let out a 'WOW' and jumped directly into Tsushima Kagami's arms.
Tsushima Kagami hugged Yukino tightly.
"You're the one who understands me, Yukino!"
At this moment, the notification that the mission was completed was also heard in his mind. Tsushima Kagami happily lifted Yukino up high.
Sure enough, if you are familiar with the Three Hundred Poems of Kimi, even if you can't Mambo, you can still WOW~. He didn't sing to it in vain usually. Yukino, you have talent!
Yukinoshita Shizuku just watched the person and the cat bafflingly, going from honey water to ocean sunfish, spinning around in circles.
...
The next day, after school, in the Manga Research Club.
As soon as Tsushima Kagami walked into the Manga Research Club, he heard Sayuri's voice.
"Ah, Yukinoshita Otaku, you're here."
Tsushima Kagami, who had just closed the door, looked bewildered upon hearing Sayuri call him that.
Why call him 'Otaku' all of a sudden? Is this bullying? Is this the plot where three gyarus bully the honest otaku?
Seeing the bewildered Tsushima Kagami, the trio of Sayuri, Kosaka Akane, and Machida Sonoko couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
After Tsushima Kagami sat down in his seat, Sayuri finally spoke.
"It's 'Otaku Tribe', you know?"
After speaking, Sayuri picked up a copy of Shincho and flipped to the page for The Setting Sun.
"And your The Setting Sun."
"Is there any connection?" Tsushima Kagami asked again, confused.
"Oh my, Kagami-kun, do you really not know anything besides drawing and writing novels?"
After saying that, Sayuri pointed at The Setting Sun again.
"The term 'Setting Sun Tribe' in your The Setting Sun has become a social hot topic now; it's even been reported by multiple TV stations and newspapers. Because of this, many people in society have followed suit, creating various 'XX Tribes' based on their own likes and circles."
Before Sayuri could continue, Machida Sonoko chimed in with a smile.
"So, recently in the ACG doujin circle, it has suddenly become popular to use 'Otaku Tribe' to refer to fellow enthusiasts."
Tsushima Kagami finally nodded. He had almost forgotten that in this world, there was originally no The Setting Sun, so the term 'Otaku' hadn't appeared yet. Right now, the 'Otaku Tribe' was still a self-appellation for pure ACG enthusiasts.
It was even just like 'XX Tribe'; the singular 'Otaku' was also being extended into numerous 'XX Otaku'. For example, Military Otaku, Computer Otaku, Railway Otaku, etc.; they were all technical otakus. Who could have imagined that later on, it would slowly transform into a term describing shut-ins, gloomy people, and antisocial deadbeats?
Seeing that Tsushima Kagami seemed to understand, Sayuri looked at Kosaka Akane to help Tsushima Kagami better understand the usage scenario of this word.
"Ara, isn't this Akane-senpai? I heard your family has a collection of the latest doujinshi. Could you please display your Otaku collection?"
"Ohohohoho, so it is Sayuri-kouhai. Of course I can. However, after viewing, please do not be stingy in displaying your Otaku collection as well."
Watching the awkward and exaggerated skit between Sayuri and Kosaka Akane, three words popped into Tsushima Kagami's head—What meaning?
"By the way, has Kagami-kun gone online? A post about you has gone viral on the internet," Machida Sonoko suddenly said at this moment.
"I don't even have a computer. What did it say?"
"Well, it's definitely better to see it with your own eyes." Machida Sonoko had a look of schadenfreude on her face.
"Ah, I saw that post too." After speaking, Sayuri thought of something and started snickering again.
"The school has a computer room; if we go now, we should still be able to borrow it," Kosaka Akane reminded them from the side.
Thus, the three girls dragged Tsushima Kagami to the computer room.
When Machida Sonoko skillfully opened the webpage and entered the post, Tsushima Kagami also saw the post. He frowned and read it bit by bit.
It roughly said that if he didn't understand NTR, he shouldn't ruin the genre, and it exhaustively detailed dozens of pain points and pleasure points for the cuckold. Finally, starting with long, complex sentences of over a hundred words, it sarcastically mocked Tsushima Kagami.
"That's too much. How could they say such nasty things!"
"I... I... I really haven't ever been a cuckold."
Seeing Tsushima Kagami's expression, the three girls beside him started laughing 'goose, goose, goose' again.
Tsushima Kagami ignored their mockery and continued speaking.
"It's just that BSS lacks a bit of the 'Bull' flavor and retains more Pure Love, that's all. Is this necessary? Everyone reads NTR either as a side dish or just out of morbid curiosity for fun. Why are you playing for real when it comes to me?!"
Finally, Tsushima Kagami, furiously incompetent against the screen, gritted his teeth and slammed the computer table.
"This isn't ordinary NTR anymore. I must strike hard!"
