Back in Mondstadt, at the Lawrence Estate—
Eula knew her actions had caused quite a stir, so she quickly retrieved the card.
The overwhelming silver-white dragon slowly faded from the sky.
"Phew… I didn't expect the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to be that terrifying."
Even now, Eula felt shaken by the sheer power she had just witnessed.
You could never fully grasp this kind of intensity just from reading the manga.
"If the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is already this incredible... then if I summon the Egyptian God Cards next time, won't people mistake them for real gods?"
A spark of anticipation flashed in Eula's eyes.
She was now determined to rewatch Yu-Gi-Oh! a few more times.
Who knows? Maybe she'd pull a god card next!
With the dragon gone, Schubert finally let out a long breath.
He hadn't dared move a muscle just moments ago—
Terrified that the dragon might notice him.
Now he could finally relax.
He staggered to his feet and walked up to Eula, speaking in a gentle tone.
"Eula, you've worked hard all these years. But it's all been worth it!
With that powerful dragon, we will drive the Knights of Favonius out of Mondstadt!"
Eula: "???"
Seeing her uncle suddenly switch to such a friendly attitude, Eula was deeply suspicious.
Why the sudden change of heart?
But when she heard him mention the "powerful dragon," she understood instantly.
So that's what this was about.
He was eyeing the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon—
And even foolishly thought he could use it to fight the Knights of Favonius.
Eula couldn't help feeling exasperated.
After some thought, she decided to explain.
"That dragon is virtual. It has no real attack power. I got it from a place called Solace Book House."
"Virtual? Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!"
Schubert's face was full of disbelief.
He had been crushed to the ground by its sheer presence—how could that be fake?
To this, Eula simply thought:
That's just because you're weak.
She shook her head lightly and didn't bother to argue further.
She simply turned and walked away.
For someone who only believes what he sees with his own eyes, there was no need to offer any further explanation.
"Not bad. Very cautious—you know not to expose yourself so easily."
Schubert nodded in satisfaction.
In his mind, Eula must have fabricated the story about the dragon and the manga shop as a cover to hide her true identity.
Read manga and get rewards?
What a joke.
Who'd believe something so absurd?
"I should make some preparations too… just in case anything unexpected happens," Schubert thought to himself.

Solace Book House
At this moment, Luke and Darial had also finished reading their manga.
Then——
BZZZZT——
BZZZZT——
Two dazzling beams of light descended from the heavens, enveloping the two of them.
Moments later, the light faded.
In Darial's hand appeared a gleaming sword.
As for Luke… he now found himself wearing a red dress.
"This sword is the weapon of the manga's male protagonist, Li Xiaolang. However, since it lacks the necessary talismans, it's just an ordinary sharp sword," Han Feng explained.
Hearing this, several nearby customers looked absolutely stunned.
"There really are rewards? That's insane!"
"This manga store is incredible! Looks like there's still hope for my Agumon!"
"But why did that guy get a dress as a reward? (⊙_⊙)"
"Maybe it's because he secretly dreams of wearing women's clothes?"
——
Luke: "(⊙_⊙)"
"Boss, this…"
Staring at the outfit he now had on, Luke looked like he was about to cry.
A full-grown man like me… why the hell is my reward a dress? Where's my dignity?
Han Feng also looked at Luke in his red outfit with a bizarre expression.
This has to be the first time the system's rewarded someone with women's clothing, right?
"This is a dress similar to the one worn by the female lead, Sakura," Han Feng explained. "It's not her dress, just the same style."
"Sakura's dress? Wait, hold on—Sakura's dress?!"
Luke, who had looked utterly dejected just a second ago, suddenly perked up, eyes sparkling.
This is actually kind of awesome?!
"It's not Sakura's actual dress. Just the same type," Han Feng clarified again.
"It's the same, it's the same! Hehe…"
Luke started giggling to himself in the corner.
At first, when he saw his reward was a red dress, he had felt nothing but contempt.
A grown man wearing a woman's outfit? What a joke.
But now? Delicious.
Especially when it's Sakura-style!
Luke was now thoroughly in love with his reward.
Darial, on the other hand, quietly scooted away a bit.
Yeah, no thanks. That's not my thing.
As the saying goes: "Crossdressing once feels good; crossdress forever and feel even better."
Han Feng felt as though he was witnessing the birth of a true crossdressing king.
A joyous occasion, truly!
——
On the other side, The Lady had just finished reading Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions.
Some people felt moved after reading the manga.
Some were excited.
Some found resonance.
As for The Lady… her face was filled with confusion.
Yes, she was completely lost.
Sure, the story was interesting enough, but…
Where were the superpowers?
What happened to my mighty Wicked Eye of Truth?!
She distinctly remembered what the shopkeeper had said:
"Because you believe in that which ordinary people deem impossible, because you hold firm to that belief, you gain superhuman powers! Powers so immense they must be sealed with incantations!"
And what did she get?
An eye patch… hiding a golden-colored contact lens underneath?!
That was it?
The Lady looked utterly disillusioned.
