[I wish you could hear me]

[Loud diamond shines～]

In the dazzling lights of all colors, AKB48's "Loud Diamond" echoed, making the weekend in Akihabara extraordinarily lively.

Today is the last day of the week, and there are events happening all over Tokyo.

Tonight, I heard there's going to be a huge party under the Tokyo Skytree.

Everyone from Yuanyue Academy will be there to have fun, so naturally, they're all near the Skytree right now, leaving Akihabara to Yan Huan as the battlefield for seeking Crab Medicine.

At this moment, the first floor of GIGO is packed with people.

In front of the claw machines, adorned with promotional illustrations from various IPs, many guests are eagerly trying their luck.

Luckily, Yan Huan and Spencer have a very clear target, heading straight for the "Angry Little Pig" collaboration plush.

Besides Spencer liking it, this IP itself isn't popular, so not many people are interested.

Unlike the Giga Kawa claw machine next door, which has already been grabbed so much it's empty.

Not only do you have to queue, but you also have to wait for the staff to restock after grabbing one.

Outside the idle claw machine, once seated, Spencer was geared up to try.

Inserting a coin, Yan Huan watched her focused grip on the joystick, attempting to precisely control the mechanical claw inside the glass case to grab the golden Bomb Pig sitting inside.

"Um..."

Spencer squinted, and after adjusting for a long time, she solemnly pressed the button.

"Buzz..."

Her sky-blue eyes followed the claw's descent, aiming for the evil-smiling pig below.

"Ding～"

At that moment, Yan Huan's phone abruptly rang in his arms.

Spencer's single-threaded brain was only focused on whether she caught the pig and wasn't aware of Yan Huan's situation.

But it served as a reminder to Yan Huan.

He needed to switch his phone to vibrate, or else when others sent messages later on, not everyone would be as oblivious as Spencer.

"Sakuragi?"

Yan Huan opened his phone and saw a call notification from Sakuragi Hitomi.

Upon seeing the message, Yan Huan's breathing slightly accelerated.

He hastily glanced at Spencer beside him and stood up to say,

"Aria, I'm going to the restroom."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Spencer didn't suspect a thing, just nodded and focused on catching her pig.

Yan Huan turned back, planning to leave GIGO for a quieter place outside.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Yan Huan connected the call,

"Sakuragi?"

"President, I've already arrived. Where are you?"

"Ah, you got here already?"

Wasn't it agreed to meet at one o'clock?

It's just past twelve now!

"Yes, I'm here across from GIGO..."

Across from GIGO?!

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan's eyes widened, instinctively raising his eyes to look across the street.

Sure enough, he saw Sakuragi Hitomi, who had just gotten off a car, wearing a beautiful kimono and holding her phone by the roadside.

!!

"President, are you still on your way or..."

As she asked, Sakuragi Hitomi turned her head to observe her surroundings.

Seeing her gaze shifting this way, Yan Huan quickly turned and dashed back inside.

"I'm still on my way, should be a while until I arrive. Sakuragi, you... got here too early..."

"It's just that I've suddenly recalled a ramen shop here in Akihabara, called Hakata Furyu, that seems quite good. I wanted to try it with the President."

Sakuragi Hitomi smiled slightly, very considerate,

"No worries, I noticed there's still a queue there. I'll wait in line first, so the President can take his time coming over."

Hearing this, Yan Huan sighed in relief.

Thankfully, only Sakuragi came early, and she could find something to do by herself...

"Is that so? Alright then. Sakuragi, go ahead and queue up, I'll come by later."

"No problem..."

Sakuragi Hitomi smiled slightly, but as she continued smiling, she suddenly froze.

First, she brought her phone closer to listen carefully to the background noise.

Then, she moved her phone back a bit.

Instantly, the music playing in GIGO clearly flooded her ears.

Unsure whether it was an illusion, Sakuragi Hitomi felt like the music matched the background sound on the phone exactly.

"...I'll hang up now, Sakuragi."

"Ah... okay."

Sakuragi Hitomi put down the phone, but her gaze inevitably drifted towards GIGO.

Inside, Yan Huan leaned against the door, a slight sweat on his forehead.

Beside him, the imaginary cat sat at the entrance, looking in Sakuragi Hitomi's direction...

The next second, its expression subtly changed, turning to Yan Huan and meowing,

"Sakuragi Hitomi seems to be coming this way, meow!"

"..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan felt like he swallowed a fly, pounding his chest with his hand.

Things weren't going well...

Thinking this, he gritted his teeth and quickly turned to run towards Spencer.

"Um..."

Over there, Spencer was staring at the claw machine, troubled.

Behind the glass, the golden Bomb Pig sat on the non-slip bar, laughing evilly at him.

How irritating, no matter how he tries, he can't grab it, oh!

Just as Spencer was about to insert another coin for another attempt, Yan Huan had already run back from the side,

"Spencer! We... uh, let's go upstairs to play; there are lots of games up there."

"Okay..."

Spencer was about to nod obediently when she suddenly realized something, pouting her lips.

Then, she revealed her fangs, sulkingly turning back to look at the claw machine in front of her,

"No, I want to get this pig out first!"

"..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan was momentarily stunned, quickly realizing his mistake.

In panic, Yan Huan hadn't called her by name, so she got a bit sulky.
