Date a Live:Date Under The Moon Chapter 263 263: Akihabara (Part 3)

"Ah, I'm so satisfied. So satisfied."

After leaving the cosplay shop, Nia showed a happy smile.

"Boy and Miko-chan's performance was really amazing. Can I imagine things? I can imagine things, right?"

In the end, in order to take care of Nia's mood, the two still did as she asked. Although it was embarrassing, Nia's mood had beco much better along the way.

"Please don't imagine things."

Mikoto sighed and said.

"What a sha. If I imagined it a little, it could have beco really good inspiration to draw into my manga."

"You were going to draw it into manga too?"

Hearing Nia's words, Shido let out a scream.

"I'm joking. Your reactions are really fun, boy."

Nia said with a grin.

"Then where should we go next? I'll ask as a reference. Boy and Miko-chan, which side are you on? MATE? GAR? Or Tiger?"

After that, she thought for a mont and looked at Shido.

"Eh?"

"What… are those?"

Shido and Mikoto completely failed to understand what Nia ant.

"Ah, I an Animate, Gars, and Toranoana. Ah, or do you like places like lonbooks, COMIC ZIN, or Shosen Book Tower?"

Noticing their reactions, Nia explained.

"As for … anything is fine."

Mikoto thought for a mont and said that. She did not know much about Akihabara. Even after Nia gave the full nas of those places, she could only understand that they were places selling ani goods. She did not know the specific differences between each shop.

"I'm the sa as senpai."

Shido also nodded.

"Okay, then let's start from the nearby bookstore!"

Nia excitedly pulled the two into the nearest shop.

"Uwah, seriously? Kasamura-sensei's art style changed! Speaking of which, this work is already on volu twenty five? Ti really flies!"

Inside the shop, Nia picked up one work after another, her eyes sparkling.

"Th-this is… Kurauchi-sensei's new work!"

Suddenly, she picked up a manga and cried out in shock.

"Nia really likes that person's works?"

Mikoto asked.

"More than like them! I read Kurauchi-sensei's Space Ti Kitan, and that changed my life and made want to beco a manga artist! Tokiya is my waifu! Even though he's a boy, he's still my waifu!" (TL:Forget the manga na, sorry, too lazy to fact check)

For so reason, Nia's speaking speed grew faster, and she kept talking without stopping.

Mikoto felt a faint sense of wrongness from Nia's reaction.

Normally, when speaking with Nia, the girl was talkative, good at livening up the atmosphere, and very easygoing to get along with. But from another perspective, Mikoto had not felt the kind of passion poured into manga from her that she was showing now.

Sohow, Mikoto felt that the girl before her had a fatal kind of dissonance in her attitude toward manga works and reality.

For example, it was almost as if—the world of manga was the real world, while the real world was more like the world of manga.

"Nia, you…"

Just as she was about to say sothing, a strange sensation lightly tapped against her head.

______________________

Ti returned to a few minutes earlier.

Shido was standing not far from Nia and Mikoto, flipping through a book he was interested in.

"Huh?"

At that mont, he saw a red and white round ball placed on a shelf not far away. Even Shido, who had not had much contact with otaku goods, knew what that was. No matter how one put it, it was the iconic item from that super famous ga, Pocket Monsters—a Poke Ball.

And so, looking at that small decoration, then looking at Mikoto, who was talking with Nia, Shido walked over and picked up the Poke Ball. Then he quietly ca up behind Mikoto and lightly tapped the small toy against her head.

"Yakumo-senpai—captured."

Mikoto turned around and saw Shido holding a Poke Ball with a mischievous smile.

"Ugh… I've been obediently captured."

After realizing Shido was playing a trick on her, the girl placed both hands on her head, making them look like rabbit ears, and shook them slightly. Then she obediently said that with a sweet smile. (TL:Ugh pyon pyon)

"Ugh…"

Looking at the girl's sweet appearance, Shido felt his heart take a critical hit.

[I'm saying, you two, the current mission is to raise Nia's affection level, right? Why are you suddenly throwing sugar around like this?]

As a result, Kotori's dissatisfied voice ca from the earpiece.

"Uh… sorry."

"Ahaha."

Shido scratched his cheek and apologized. Mikoto also gave a wry smile with a shy expression.

[If you know that, then put your attention on Nia—ư

Just as Kotori was about to continue speaking…

"Ah! This is really nice! As expected, bringing Miko-chan was the right choice! Oh no! My maiden heart is overflowing again!"

Far from feeling that she had been left out, Nia happily intertwined her index fingers, held them in front of her chest like she was praying, and spoke with a blissful smile.

"Kotori…"

Seeing this scene, Shido quietly called into the earpiece.

[Just do… whatever you want…]

Sohow, Kotori's expression when saying that line had to be extrely powerless.

After that, the three ca to the second floor.

"The first floor is the new release area. The main force is on this floor. Uh… ohh! This one ca out too! I have to buy it!"

"Why did you suddenly… This is…"

Shido leaned over, wanting to see why Nia was reacting so strongly.

Then he noticed that Nia was holding a novel.

The novel's cover had an illustration of two half naked boys entangled together, and it was wrapped with a book band. On it was a promotional phrase he had never heard before—My King's Sword.

"Uh…"

Although Shido knew there were works of this type, he had absolutely no idea how to react and was left speechless.

"What? Leaving other boys aside, I thought boy and Miko-chan would be able to understand this delicate maiden heart."

Noticing Shido and Mikoto's reactions, Nia seed a little surprised.

"No… I'm also…"

Mikoto smiled wryly and shook her head. Although girls in her class often brought this type of work too, she herself was not interested in them. Even if she had been a boy before crossing over, the current her was loving Shido as a girl, so her feelings were subtly different.

"Hmhmhm. In that case, let see…"

Nia smiled and made a framing gesture with her fingers, then looked Shido over.

After a few seconds, she suddenly widened her eyes and shouted:

"Weak willed! Total bottom!"

"Hey, wait, what are you judging?!"

Although Shido did not understand what Nia ant, he sohow felt it was not a good thing.

"So Shido is a weak willed total bottom?"

Although Mikoto did not understand what those two words ant, she still tilted her head with a wicked smile.

"Black hearted! Seductive bottom!"

However, very soon… she was also "frad" by Nia.
