Xavier turned his head and saw that it was a staff member from the supermarket.
Could this be a high-end community where groceries are rationed?
While Xavier was wondering, the staff member had already run over.
"That, that, that..."
Not only was he stammering, but his face had also turned red.
Xavier poked his head out, frowning as he said, "Which one?"
"I, I, I..."
"You..."
Xavier stretched his head out even further.
"Can I take a photo with you, Furina?"
This sentence seemed to have been held back for a long time; the young man was almost out of breath after saying it.
Xavier: "..."
"Huh? A photo?" Furina was a little surprised.
"Yes, yes!" The staff member nodded excitedly, "May I? Because I really like you, uh, I mean this character!"
Xavier almost forgot how popular Furina was; even in a fresh food supermarket, encountering fans wasn't surprising, right?
Not to mention that Furina was the real deal, a 100% degree of restoration.
Anyone who played allogene would definitely turn their head back every three steps.
"Ahem!"
"Theoretically speaking, I can't easily take photos with others, after all, I'm a well-known superstar!"
Seeing someone ask for a photo, Furina put on airs again.
"Alright, I'm sorry to have bothered you..."
The young waiter looked dejected and was about to turn and leave.
"But ~" Furina drew out the end of her sentence, "I'll make an exception today, after all, you're the first Blue Star person to ask me for a photo!"
The young waiter completely ignored Furina's strange remarks and was already incredibly moved.
He took out his phone with trembling hands and deliberately kept a distance when taking the photo.
Furina held her hat brim and struck a rather dignified pose.
Click!
After the photo, the young waiter bowed several times in a row.
"Thank you so much, Furina, and you're truly so degree of restoration!"
Actually, it's normal for cosplayers to be asked for photos on the street.
And typically, when the other party bows in thanks, cosplayers will also bow in return.
As for such high praise from the young man, cosplayers would also express their gratitude repeatedly.
But unfortunately, Furina wasn't a cosplayer; she was the real deal.
How would she know all these miscellaneous things?
She still feigned a pose, waving her hand and saying, "No need to be so formal. Although being able to take a photo with me is indeed something worth showing off."
Xavier rubbed his forehead; even if you are the real Furina, speaking like that is too rude!
Originally, Xavier thought the young man would definitely look awkward, but instead...
Why do you look so pleased, kid?!
The young waiter's actions seemed to cause a chain reaction; many people started asking Furina for photos.
At first, it was fine; although Furina was a bit pretentious, she was secretly delighted.
But as the number of people grew, from a dozen or so at first to dozens later, Furina was somewhat overwhelmed.
These people not only took photos but also kept pushing into the middle.
Xavier stayed by her side to protect Furina.
To prevent her from being taken advantage of or someone making inappropriate moves.
However, fortunately, this group of people was still well-behaved.
"Wait, wait, what's going on? Hurry and help me!" Furina quickly sought help from Xavier next to her.
Xavier knew that if they kept taking photos like this, they would probably only be able to have supper when they got home.
He rolled his eyes and pointed dramatically into the distance.
"Wow, Neuvillette is over there!"
"What? Neuvillette?"
Everyone was indeed fooled by this trick and turned their heads to look.
What Xavier didn't expect was that he not only fooled his opponents but also his teammate.
"No way, that guy Neuvillette is here too?"
Furina was still turning her head, searching for Neuvillette's whereabouts, but then Xavier suddenly pulled her away with a "whoosh."
"I was just tricking them; you actually believed it?" Xavier muttered after escaping the scene.
"Huh?"
Furina was momentarily stunned, then let out a dry laugh, "Ahaha, of course, I knew you were tricking them; I was just cooperating with you."
After returning home, Xavier felt like he had fought a tough battle.
Protecting Furina was truly a physical task!
No wonder, who made her so popular?
"Next time you go out, you're not allowed to talk to anyone without my permission!"
Facing Xavier's sudden command, Furina retorted, "Why not!"
"You caused such a big commotion today, and you still ask me why?"
"Hmph, I think you just want to possess me!"
"Pfft!"
Xavier, who was drinking cola, spat it out. What kind of outrageous words were those?
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Furina crossed her arms over her chest and circled Xavier, saying, "A superstar like me, who wouldn't want to be my friend? Or are you saying you want me to make friends with more people?"
Although Furina was usually a bit silly, this sentence rendered Xavier silent.
"Too lazy to bother with you, I'm going to cook!"
Xavier didn't answer directly and got up to go to the kitchen.
What he didn't know was that Furina was secretly smiling at this moment.
As an orphan, cooking was his basic skill.
Plus, Xavier had a tiny bit of talent, so he cooked quite well.
And tonight's meal was rich enough.
There were cola chicken wings, stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy boiled fish, and two vegetable dishes.
Furina had already sat at the dining table, holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other, full of anticipation.
"Oh my goodness, I can't believe your cooking is so good, Xavier!"
Looking at the colorful, fragrant, and delicious dishes, Furina's mouth was almost watering.
After Xavier sat down, he said, "Of course! I started cooking for myself when I was just over ten years old. If it weren't for my exploitative boss making me work overtime these past few months, I wouldn't have to eat instant noodles every day."
"Hmm, eating instant noodles... seems pretty good too."
"But... these chicken wings... are also delicious!"
Furina picked up a chicken wing with her fork, speaking a little indistinctly.
Xavier picked up a piece of beef, chewed it a couple of times, and said, "Instant noodles, you miss them when you don't eat them, but you hate them when you eat too much."
Furina paused and asked with a mouth full of grease, "Why?"
"I hope you never experience it."
"Hmph, how could I not understand? It's just like when I eat macaroni."
Xavier seemed to find a loophole and asked, "So you're admitting that you don't really like eating macaroni, but just because it's convenient, right?"
Only then did Furina realize she had let something slip, and she quickly tried to salvage it: "Ahem, who said that? I actually like it very much, it's just that occasionally there are one or two days when I don't like it."
"Alright then, from now on, I'll make you macaroni every day, and only one other meal a month."
"Hey, hey, hey, how can you do that? I'm your guest!"
"Exactly, precisely because you are my esteemed guest, I must follow the guest's wishes."
"Wait, don't, don't take my chicken wings away, hey..."
