The System In My Head

Chuuni Dispute 2 days to live.

Sometimes the night can be so smooth, it almost feels like it never happened...

That was Ben's night yesterday. After the mall, he jumped into the local bar alone. However, it was slow and he didn't get a good chance. He managed to get some numbers but none of them were optimistic. However, it doesn't discourage Ben because he, like the best students, is focused on his future—his relationship with Katie today. He recalled that to remain optimistic, as another hot topic in his mind was the upcoming execution ...

As the countdown timer, it increased his anxiety and despair, a fact he could only hope would not interfere with his date. 'It's a pity that I don't have time for therapy ... Of course, the bigger problem is that the therapist is not in the story ... except to be hit by Lucifer ... or dreamt of by Tony Soprano.. .'

Ben spread a helpless smile. 'It's hard for the MC. We don't want to do crazy things, but what can you expect when no one stops to check our mental health...'

Right now, it was already night and he was walking to the front of a book megastore near his dorm. 'here he is. I have arrived at the sect library to choose my first battle skill ...' Even from the outside, dozens of lines of books and prospective readers are seen through the glass screen. This continues for several floors. Ben stepped in, feeling the temperature rise from early Autumn into the room, as the light sounds of the courtyard were flipped over and soft chatter tickled his ears.

He walked through the paper landscape until he reached the escalator, which he stepped on. Driving it, the scenery on the second floor revealed itself to him. Immediately, he caught a glimpse of the scenery he wanted to see here — waterfalls with waist-length pink hair covering the back of a girl poking through the island of literature.

Ben approaches. 'The chances of her turning around and becoming an ugly old woman with the same hair may not be too high right ... Whether it is God or Satan in the author's room tonight, they should at least have better material than that ...'

The girl turned around, exposing her left cheek to Ben, showing a star-shaped birthmark. That convinced him. 'OK, here we go, unless there's a reunion here for the Joestar family ...'

Ben walks towards her, watching her pick up and flip through the manga she picked up at random. Yes, this bookstore has a large manga and anime section, as well as a cafe, which is why she chose it, considering Katie loves anime.

"Katie," Ben said.

He turns around, giving Ben a new angle to look at the lollipop in his mouth. Finding Ben, she restores Mirai Nikki's manga as a cheerful smile expands on her face. Ben is shocked when he pulls out a lollipop, jumps up to hug her enthusiastically, and gives her a kiss on the cheek.

Ben suppressed his younger brother's ambition as his hand held onto his narrow waist, and his chest felt the********** large. His thick blue sea sweater did not provide a barrier. Ben mused, 'It's like *****the best chest in the world, you feel everything ...'

'Wait, I almost forgot, ****** is also not in the story.. unless it is a plot point.' He's turning pale. 'Shit, I have to be quiet unless I want that to happen...'

As Katie retreats, she puts the lollipop back in her mouth, drawing Ben's attention to her beautiful full red lips offset by her pale complexion. His eyes widened when he saw those big lips sucking on the lollipop. 'Thank you Verizon has installed DSL...'

Then he noticed her sucking on the lollipop again. 'No, he's qualified to upgrade to broadband ...'

Realizing she had been staring at him for too long, Ben coughed. "What is that feeling?"

He replied, "Lemon, I like the sweet."

Ben nodded. 'Generate flavor profiles...'

The two began chatting as they strolled the manga island, learning about each other and discussing the various works around. Ben's eyebrows rise gradually as he discovers the shocking facts—he knows more about manga and anime than he does! "It seems you know a lot .." he said.

"I have to." He giggles. "I work at my family's manga cafe."

Ben didn't expect he'd take his background to 11... "Is one of your parents Japanese?"

"No, I'm just an otaku."

Ben's expression became serious. 'So this is the ancestral princess ...' He scrunched his eyebrows. 'I hope he is not a secret martial arts master from an ancient family ... Reading my novels, I have to be careful because they are everywhere ...'

"There's something important that I have to ask you" Katie said suddenly. He fits Ben. "Before this date continues any further, I need to make sure of something." His body language became serious as he crossed his arms.

Ben swallows. 'I think I know where he's going with this... Should I lie and tell her I'm Jewish?'

...

Katie squinted her eyes, so narrow that it looked like she was sleeping...

Ben held his breath. 'Is he a narcolepsy? ...Should I wake her up?

The atmosphere became silent.

In the corner of Ben's eyes, he thought he saw tumbleweed rolling over...

That's the signal! Katie's eyes are wide open! Like a floodgates! Like a floor-to-ceiling door! He's real now! It intimidates my friends!

...

He asked Ben, "What do you like?" His eyes once again became as sharp as a samurai sword that used three swords..."Dubs...or subs?!?"

...

On the side, several otaku heard the conversation:

"His otaku cultivation was a much higher realm. He has no hope..."

"This junior hit the wrong opponent. Poor, pity..."

"Huh. Heaven is jealous of the talented ..."

Ben glanced at the incredulous audience. "I can hear you bastard! This is not a tournament! Go!"

Returning to Katie, her eyes radiated enlightenment. Ben lowered his head. "Dub or sub it?"

He placed his hand on his face, then raised his gaze to meet her, giving her a haughty look through the cracks of his finger. "I chose... Not both!"

Katie glared at him. "What does this mean?"

Ben chuckled slowly again. "Good business.but the correct answer.is manga!"

Silence is radiating through the bookstore!

The nearest otaku jerked in unison!

Fat boy glasses crack in one lens!

...

Katie looked at Ben with her jaw agape in disbelief. However, after a long time, he smiled. "Congratulations. You're the first to pass the great Otaku sphinx puzzle..."

Ben wiped the sweat off his forehead. 'Just barely. I'm lucky I remember him working in a manga cafe. Otherwise, the result can be terrible—masturbation alone...'

After that, Katie became more cheerful. She jumps left and right through the manga island, chatting with Ben's ears about his favorite manga and opening up to him. Sometimes Ben gives contradictory opinions, which he elevates to melodrama, sneering at and arguing about the primacy of his favorite works and characters.

At one point, Ben's mind floated as his hands ransacked some anime and he pulled out a DVD at random.

"Oh, you like that, huh?" Katie asked with wide eyes.

Ben looked at his hand. It was a copy of the famous Junjou Romantica.anime yaoi.

...

Ben's face turned green... 'Not good...'

She looked at Katie and let go of a nervous laugh. "My hand slipped. I meant to take something else." He returned it in a hurry, and walked quickly a few steps away from the yaoi section, out of danger. He took something in a new area.

Katie raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so you mean snatch... Tentacles and Witches?"

Ben glanced at his hand. It was the cover of a half-naked girl, whose private parts were not visible just because they were wrapped by slimy green tentacle monsters...

...

It was then that Ben understood that he wandered into the hentai section...

Realizing this could kill her date, she panicked, feeling her heart trying to break out of her chest. 'My only chance is to confuse him...I knew! I'll use the concepts I learned in that creative writing class." With a diligent expression, she turned to Katie. "There's a lot of character development here. People also underestimate the thematic value of overcoming social biases in human/tentacle relationships..."

...

Ben's body was unwilling to move, but his mind was cursing at full speed. 'TENTAKLE WITH CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT?!? HUMAN RELATIONSHIP/TENTACLE?!? What did they teach me at that university?!?'

...

Katie watched Ben for a long time... Then, he finally spoke. "I think I can understand what you mean. I read Gintama..."

...

Ben wants to cry. 'Gintoki! You are my savior!'
