Ro Ginger's Fat Otaku

Chapter 8

There is no food in the rural apartment. Qin needs to take a bus and go to a grocery store in the city center. At least, he plans to get a large bag of fruits, water, granola, Greek yogurt, and skimmed milk and so on...

Although he is losing weight, he eats a lot daily. Losing weight doesn't mean hurting one's digest system.

Before Qin met Ro, he was stingy when he was going to spend money on himself. In order to correct his behavior, Ro always buys and sends things to him whenever she finds him needing something. If he doesn't accept the mails, she will act mad.

Qin doesn't want to take advantage of Ro. He sends money to Ro's account everytime.

Then, Ro will send it back to his account.

Qin has told her all his bank accounts and the passwords. Although Ro knew these from the beginning, she is still glad that he is willing to tell her these.

Now, whenever Qin needs something, he will pick a good quality one to buy for himself. Otherwise, Ro will nag him.

You aren't poor. Why don't you treat yourself better?

He has no one else to spend money on except for himself.

Ro has more money than him and she doesn't want him to use money for her.

In the beginning, he was buying clothes.

Since his parents were gone, he didn't care what he wore and got XXXXL clothes online. Now he has a healthy body shape so he needs new clothes.

He feels restrained and he doesn't like to be asked by the shopping guide and he chooses to video chat with Ro and asks her thoughts.

Her camera is off. Qin is a little disappointed, but he didn't take it to heart.

He doesn't care about her appearance at all.

Maybe she has special reasons to not turn on the camera.

If a guy is tall and has a healthy body shape, he can look good in any clothes.

Qin is absolutely within the healthy body shape range. Even though he can become thinner, he chooses to keep this ideal boyfriend body shape.

If he loses more weight, he will be like a Korean star.

He already looks good in a casual rice-color long sleeves top and jeans. He is mild and introverted with the brightness of inexperienced. He looks shy when he smiles. He shines under the lights and he lowers his head and fiddles his hair as he is nervous.

'Shifu has finally become a handsome guy.' Ro is gratified for him but she wants to laugh at this scene.

'Really?' Qin looks at the mirror and stares at his long legs. His legs are long and straight. He didn't know he had such long legs...

'You can catch up with me soon.' Ro imitates his indifferent tone.

'Hmmm.' Qin unconsciously chimes in with her and then realizes that she is boasting again.

'Jesus.' He complains in a whisper.

'I heard it.' Ro sneers.

'I was referring to myself. Please don't misunderstand.'

'Don't talk like that. It is sissy.'

Qin seldom acts cute and now his eyes look a little wet.

Ro always has a good taste. Everything she picks fits well on Qin. They have bought three sets. The price of them is just at Qin's acceptance limit.

A guy cannot be stingy.

Although Ro has corrected his value, he feels a heart attack when he sees the receipt.

He doesn't have such a feeling when he spends money on people who he likes.

He feels bad when he spends for himself. Ro doesn't know how he got this habit.

Qin makes his mind that if possible he will buy clothes for Ro as well. He will buy whatever she likes.

The gal-game production has contacted Qin and sent him the round-trip ticket and the contract.

Before he knew it, he has lived in the rural apartment for more than a month. Everyday he feels like he is in a paradise and loses his time awareness.

Qin's existence surprises the gal-game production. He has such a professional skill and he can communicate with Japanese voice actors as well without any troubles. He looks good and has a good voice. Why did no one know him in the past?

Now Qin is a handsome guy from all angles. He is a bit nervous and humble. His co-workers like him and can ignore the strangeness of his voice.

Beyond Qin's expectation, he has left a good impression in another three famous voice actors. They exchange their contacts.

It is probably because of his special voice that he can only act for few characters. He has no competition and other voice actors treat him friendly. A Chinese voice actor suggests him to go to a university in China and study voice acting academically.

Qin is not sure about his enthusiasm for voice acting as his main job but giving it a try is not a problem.

He receives the same amount of payment that other three famous voice actors receive. His registered name is LonelyLamp. He is the only voice actor who doesn't use his real name.

He doesn't want to show his real identity to the public when he is not ready yet.

The game is still waiting to be published. Qin has nothing to do and begins to study under Ro's instruction in order to go to university.

He is still young. It is not late for him to go back to school.

He used to regret that he didn't finish his high school well. He decides to study hard this time.

Ro is willing to put him back into high school but Qin doesn't want to be around high schoolers. He could have just registered in a high school and studied one year there and taken an art exam to go to university.

He still has social phobia.

He doesn't dare to go to school.

He will be terrified.

Ro doesn't want to push him too far. He has progressed.

Maybe he should just live in the anime circles and be a quiet handsome guy.

The gal-game is finally published and becomes popular. Players leave all kinds of comments of it. Some have discovered that LonelyLamp's voice sounds like Childe Yue's voice. They guess they are the same person.

Although LonelyLamp's blog has been filled with fans now, they are fighting against the fans of Childe Yue.

A famous variety show invites the crew of this gal-game including its designers, painters, voice actors, etc. Qin is one of the central people. The gal-game production invites him to be on the variety show. They explain that he only needs to be there, and it is good for his future career.

Qin doesn't really want to go. He asks Ro about this and decides to accept the gal-game production's request.

The reason Ro used to persuade him is simple, 'Your parents would like to see you on the television.'

Qin thinks it make sense and he texts his three new friends and invite them to dinner if they also go to the variety show.

The show asks him to get on the stage at last for effects. The audience on the spot and audience who are watching the show from home are confused. They don't believe that is Childe Yue.

People online have made Childe Yue's previous fat photo into an emoji with subtitle "Awwwww"...

Almost everyone in the anime circle will use this emoji. Why isn't him a fat otaku in real life?

Is this person coming to cover Childe Yue?

'Hello, I am LonelyLamp.' Fans are having an explosion as soon as he speaks.

His voice has such a high differentiation degree that he sounds exactly the same as the voice players heard in the game.

Fans begin to wonder if this LonelyLamp is just having the same voice as Childe Yue by accident.

'I used to be Childe Yue. I am LonelyLamp now. I was a chunibyou at that time and I am sorry about that.'

The show puts his famous emoji on the big screen. That is the emoji which everyone in the anime circle knows.

This is a magic transformation.

'He must have gone to Korea for liposuction surgery.'

'I don't believe...'

'Otaku is cute! Why did you lose weight! Those bitches are going to take my husband away from me again!'

...

Qin unconsciously shows a frightened and shocked face when he sees his fans screaming, going crazy and wild. His small-animal-like reaction stimulates the wolf nature of his female fans. Although he immediately changes his face back, many have caught his frightened face and make emojis of it.

'Our LonelyLamp looks good. Do you want to be an idol?' The show host pats his shoulder and asks this question which many people want to ask.

'Right now, I prefer to go to a university first and study for a few years.'

'This young man is very honest.'

Qin shows a coy smile and he is bashful.

Compared to the game character he acts, LonelyLamp in real life seems to be mild in disposition.

This is definitely an example of gap moe.

Then, Qin chats about his experience of losing weight and plays a few games with other people on the stage. He always pretends to be calm but sometimes he breaks his disguise. After a show, the audience have collected enough materials to make a full set of emoji of him.

His humbleness is polite and pleasant. The audience don't want him to leave the stage when the show is going to end. The show host encourages him to sing a famous internet song.

Ro watches Qin since he is natural and graceful whenever he begins to sing. She signs.

Qin is suitable for a purer environment. He can attend such shows occasionally. However, if he is really going to make a living on the stage, he will be torn up by others' envy.

An internet song with countless cover versions in his voice has a special blandness, a unique concentration, and a treasuring carefulness...

Even people who dislike the style of this song think he has done well.

His high pitch is beautifully moving, and it doesn't sound female. It is flowing into listeners' bones.

'I don't know why but I am weeping...'

'This is so good awww..'

'My ears are pregnant.'

'I am going to make him pregnant!'

'What the f.u.c.k are you talking about?'

The scene is in a fever. Qin feels like he is in a dream.

'Shifu, you did well today and almost caught up with me.'

'Oh really? Why do I have a feeling that you are lying?' Qin laughs.

'No, I am not lying. You almost caught up with me.'
