"I'm sorry, Jiang Jun...... I didn't mean that, I just ......"

Mizuno came back to her senses from her shock and hurriedly explained.

Jiang Yu waved his hand, signaling that he didn't care, his tone seemed a little indifferent, and said, "It's nothing, I know what Sister Mizuno means." All of a sudden, a piano player who says he's an otaku or something, it must be hard to accept, right? ”

"I ......" Mizuno opened her mouth to speak, but in the end she didn't say anything.

An Tanzhe also shook his head, stood up, patted Jiang Yu's shoulder with one hand, and said seriously: "Otaku is not an identity that will be looked down upon, from another point of view, this is just a group of people who love a culture and ridicule themselves. Later, it will evolve into a pejorative meaning, simply because it takes time for society to recognize and accept a new culture. You see, it's not ...... now."

"Alright." Jiang Yu interrupted An Tan's words, rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a little helplessness, "I know Brother An Tan, you want to comfort me, but the order of things must be clear?" "Otaku" wasn't a nice name at first, was it? It's only recently that the social acceptance has become high, and there is only one way to use it. ”

"Although I don't have low self-esteem, and I don't often use this title to refer to myself, but subculture is a subculture after all, and prejudice can't be resolved overnight, and more people need to work hard if this circle wants to expand. So, it was completely unexpected that Mizuno-san would have such an idea. ”

In the end, Jiang Yu's words couldn't help but have a somewhat self-deprecating tone.

However, in the end, regardless of the predecessor, what did you get into the house for?

Jiang Yu couldn't help but start thinking about this problem.

It doesn't seem to be for any particular reason.,It's just that after watching a few more anime.,,It's starting to be called "otaku" or something by the people around me.。 Later, I learned programming-related knowledge, and there was a ridicule on the Internet that "programmers are otaku", so that I seemed to start in it, and I fell deeper and deeper?

However, to be honest, compared with the real society, the beautiful and sincere feelings in the second dimension make Jiang Yu more envious.

The so-called "one thought in a lifetime, one thought in one person" has been proven to be an empty phrase many times in the third dimension. However, in the world written by those authors, it can be used as a belief and persist to the end, how can people not like it?

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is staring at you.

Therefore, people who love fantasy are more likely to be attracted to beautiful fantasies and then indulge in them, right?

Thinking like this, Jiang Yu smiled at An Tan Zhe and Mizuno Caiyin, gently removed An Tan Zhe's hand on his shoulder, stood up, and said, "Okay, then let's stop here today." Nice to meet you! ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yu took the bag containing his work clothes and prepared to leave.

If he doesn't have the slightest guilt in his heart, it is indeed impossible. After all, the person who is regarded as his sister has such an expression and such eyes on him, no matter what, it is impossible to be indifferent, right?

It's just to say how sad and unhappy it is...... His heart was quite calm, and he didn't seem to care much.

While secretly unhappy, but at the same time feeling extremely calm? When did you have such an awkward attribute on your body?

Shaking his head with a smile, Jiang Yu stepped forward and prepared to leave.

Tetsuya Azumi and Aine Mizuno just looked at Jiang Yu's departing figure in a daze, the former seemed to want to say something, and finally smacked his lips a few times, but said nothing.

He almost became a light writer at the beginning, so he naturally knows what role the so-called "otaku" plays in the general understanding of society. Although it has improved recently, it is still a long way to go before it can be transformed into a fairly normal group of people in people's eyes.

And Mizuno Ayane looked a little guilty, hung her head, and complained in her heart about her words and deeds just now.

After Jiang Yu took a few steps forward, as if he remembered something, he fell back again, and said seriously to Tetsuya Azumum: "Well, I think the Akutagawa Award is more friendly to newcomers than the Naoki Award. If Brother An Tan still has the interest and enthusiasm to continue to write, he might as well give it a try. ”

"Ahh If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely beg you to give me the "300-page love letter" between you to be adapted into an anime! So, it doesn't matter if you submit it? Anyway, sooner or later, I'll meet people from all over the world......"

"Finally, I beg you to forget what I said earlier. When I come back tomorrow, I won't remember it either. That's it, goodbye, Sister Mizuno, and Brother Azumi! ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the two of them to react, Jiang Yu left the café directly, and was greeted by the evening breeze mixed with a bit of hot and dry atmosphere in the night at the beginning of summer. Some swollen heads are also a lot more comfortable because of this.

Inside the café.

Mizuno Aine bit her lip, looked at Tetsuya Azumi, who was silent beside her, and said with some loss, "Didn't I ...... just now Did it hurt the kid? ”

An Tanzhe also rubbed his girlfriend's head, and said softly: "Don't worry too much~ Although I said that, Caiyin's tone at that time was indeed a little problematic. However, Jiang Jun is not a person who cares about these things, and after a sleep, he will probably forget about it. You know this better than I do, right? ”

"Huh? You ask me, how do I know Jiang Jun's thoughts? ”

"Hmm...... Presumably, the mutual understanding between men? No, the word is not quite right, it should be said...... After substituting the other person's personality, I guessed what should have happened. ”

"Or do you want to apologize? Whatever you want...... Although judging by the results, you don't need to apologize; But judging from the process, you do need to apologize for the tone you just had...... Woooooooooo ”

“…… A sucker! ”

……

When I got home, I habitually said, "I'm back!" And, of course, routinely unanswered.

Sitting at the entrance, Jiang Yu sighed, slowly took off his shoes, put on his slippers, shook his head vigorously, got up and walked into the living room.

Taking out the barley tea from the refrigerator and pouring down most of the bottle in one go, Jiang Yu took a light breath, remembered the previous scene, and shook his head with a smile.

I really ...... Still not mature enough......

But that's the fun. It's like playing a game, if you get a full level + full-body god costume number at the beginning, it will certainly produce a momentary pleasure, but the real satisfaction brought by climbing to the peak step by step should not be experienced, right?

In the end, do you just want to push out the classic works of the last world one by one? Or do you want to build a two-dimensional empire, and even turn this gradually popular subculture into an ordinary culture recognized by the world?

So, what Confucianism said, "self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and level the world", let's let yourself start with "self-cultivation"!

Wait - what is this? Self-cultivation?

That's stupid!
