What?! My anime figures have all come true!

"We've finally arrived."

It has to be said that whenever there is a large-scale event like a comic convention, the roads near the Shanghai Exhibition Center are always congested, and even if you leave early, you will still be stuck on the road.

That's why Chen Xiao always rode an electric scooter before.

But it's different now.

As the family grows larger, we need to consider four-wheeled transportation.

"Wow..."

As Ichika and the others got out of the car, they saw large groups of people in the distance, some carrying backpacks, some carrying bags, and some even skipping changing clothes and entering the venue in their cosplay outfits.

"Is this what a global metropolis is like? It's so big, and there are so many people..."

Although it's not appropriate to say it that way, the four little ones are reacting like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Before, when they were sitting in the car looking out the window, they didn't really see it clearly, but now that they're on the ground, they can feel the charm of Shanghai.

However, some people were amazed, while others were horrified.

"Poch-chan! Cheer up!"

Goto Ichiri seems a bit dead.

People were everywhere, and eyes were everywhere.

For her, it was like a rat from the gutter falling into a cat cafe, not only out of place in its clean and bright atmosphere, but also being watched by predators lurking in every corner!

"Hahaha... Pochi-chan, don't be nervous~ Don't be nervous! Take a few deep breaths."

Chen Xiao hadn't expected Goto Ichiri to react so strongly, so he quickly stepped forward to support her in his arms and comfort her while gently patting her back.

"Wow, so close...! I... I'm being pampered?! Oh my gosh~~! This is a protector of flowers, right?! Even a useless person like me who can't do anything but play guitar can be protected by Xiao..."

Itachi Hikaru/Yamada Ryo/Kita Ikuyo:...

The three of them felt a little uneasy when they saw the lewd smile on Goto Ichiri's face, which resembled that of Shin-chan from Crayon Shin-chan.

"Are you feeling better?"

Chen Xiao asked.

"Great! Excellent!"

Goto Ichiri made a sound indicating that they could go and operate the warship.

Although I don't know what's going on in Goto Ichiri's mind, she seems to have perked up.

"It's still early, we can wander around the venue for a bit first, and then go backstage after Jiafang sends us a message."

Of course, before going to the venue, Chen Xiao still took a picture of the scene and sent it to Ding Jiafang to reassure him.

Chen Xiao then led the four of them into the comic convention venue.

Only now did they truly realize the sheer size of China; every area of ​​the venue was larger than the Starry Night Showroom run by Ijichi Hoshika (Nijika's older sister)!

"If they charged an 'entry and exit fee' here, they'd be making so much money they wouldn't know what to do with it!"

Yamada Ryo pointed to the fork in the road leading to several exhibition halls in the distance, his eyes practically turning into the shape of money.

"If we dare to take it, no one will come. In the end, Liang will not only not see a penny, but will also have to pay a large amount of compensation."

Chen Xiao smiled and replied to Yamada Ryo's money-grubbing behavior.

"Then I'll only be able to eat grass?! Oh... no, with Xiao taking care of me, I'll never be able to eat grass in my life."

Yamada Ryo first realized what was going on, then realized what was happening and gave a sly smile.

Chen Xiao: ...

Is this a confession?

That sudden action almost broke down my mental defenses!

Ryo Yamada, what a terrifying woman.

"Wow...that's really shameless."

"Ichi Nijika, who was standing to the side, complained."

"After all, that's just how Senior Ryo is."

Kita Yukiyo nodded in agreement.

"..."

Boqi-chan has remained silent since entering the venue.

She mechanically followed Kita Ikuyo, looking as if she had been "walking" for a long time.

Although there were many cosplayers present, Nijika Ijichi and others still attracted a lot of attention.

In particular, the four of them have very different styles, yet they get along very harmoniously.

Of course, the main reason is that they are very good-looking.

"Are those people also cosplaying?"

"It looks so pretty and cute!"

"And she's even without makeup! That's amazing! How can she look this good without makeup?"

"Which work are you cosplaying as? I don't recognize the character!"

"I don't care about this or that! The girls wanted to take a photo together... but they were sent back."

"Haha! Clown, didn't you see she has a male companion?"

Chen Xiao blocked everyone who tried to take a photo with him.

If it were a group of thorns, there probably wouldn't be so many people trying to take photos with them.

There was another reason why Chen Xiao didn't choose Jing Qinrencai before, which was that she wasn't anime-like enough.

Even if they are characters from anime.

One very simple point is their clothing style. Although the four members of the band "End" wore simple outfits, they were clearly in a cute and refreshing anime style. However, the entire "Thorn" group, in terms of both clothing style and temperament, was very much a "socially conscious" group.

He was completely out of place with everyone else in the room.

The level is too high; they simply cannot muster the courage.

And of course, there's the childlike smell on Nina...

Ichigan no Rencai: I'll kill you!

…………

After wandering around several areas, Ichiji Nijika and the others had a great time, but Chen Xiao, looking at the unfamiliar anime works, showed absolutely no interest.

Fortunately, some well-known domestic works from the previous life have also appeared in this life.

So at this comic convention, he did see some familiar faces.

For example, the anime-style stand-up comedy performed in the distance.

Two cosplayers dressed as motorcycle riders were seen on stage having a man in a white coat examine them.

"Please listen to the first topic: The Energy City at Dawn... Wrong Book!"

The doctor turned around and picked up another book from the bookshelf.

"Please listen to the first topic. The Moon Goddess Temple is ready for battle... but that won't do either."

Chen Xiao: ...

Now I understand, you guys are putting on a show called "The Adventures of Lao Luo: The Heart Disease of the Vanguard"!

This anime convention even features anime-themed skits?

However, judging from the audience's beaming smiles, the effect was indeed quite good.

Oh, I was laughing too. Never mind then.

Beep beep beep...!!!

[Ding Jiafang: Xiao! It'll be my turn soon! Come on over!]

"Hongxia, Jiafang sent a message, let's go backstage."

Upon seeing the message from Ding Jiafang, Chen Xiao turned around and greeted the girls who were engrossed in watching.

"Is it about to begin? Whew... I'm starting to get nervous!"

Kita Ikuyo was startled by what she heard.

"Don't worry, Kita-chan, we'll be cheering you on from the audience!"

Ichi Nijika clenched her fist to cheer on Kita Ikuyo.

Ryoya Yamada gave a thumbs up and said, "If you really can't sing, Yuyo can try being cute. Maybe people will even give you money."

"Ryou-senpai!"

On the other side, Ding Jiafang was pacing back and forth at the backstage entrance. Even though he knew Chen Xiao had arrived, he was still very worried because he hadn't seen him.

"Jiafang! I've brought men with me!"

That familiar voice was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly energizing Ding Jiafang.

"Ah Xiao! You..."

However, when he happily looked in the direction of the sound, he found that in addition to Chen Xiao himself, he was accompanied by four beautiful girls with different styles.

A smiling, cheerful, and sunny blonde girl with a side ponytail—Niji Natsumi.

With an indifferent expression, he looked at the somewhat aloof, short-haired, blue-haired beauty—Yamada Ryo.

Kita Ikuyo is an adorable red-haired beauty who's as cute as a pistachio.

And finally, there's the last one, a pink-haired beauty named Goto Ichiri, who always had her head down and a slightly hunched back, looking gloomy but unable to hide her pretty face.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ding Jiafang's eyes gradually turned fierce.

Ding Jiafang: I'm going to kill you!!!
