"Chuunibyou, huh? That's… unexpected."
Han Feng chuckled.
Everyone, at some point in their youth,
had a little phase of delusions and over-the-top fantasies.
Classic lines like:
"It's not me that's wrong—it's the world!"
"I am the Fallen Angel of Darkness. Kneel before me, foolish mortals!"
Thinking back on it as adults was embarrassing—
but also strangely nostalgic.
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! was definitely a series full of that energy.
Especially the heroine—
Rikka Takanashi—the chuunibyou queen herself.
Without a doubt, Rikka Takanashi is the quintessential chuunibyou.
"Shatter, oh reality! Crush, oh spirit! Banishment This World!"
"The Tyrant's Eye is the strongest!"
Her lines are absolutely over-the-top—
peak dramatic flair!
But then you look at her actual combat power?
Totally underwhelming.
While the manga seems like a lighthearted comedy on the surface,
it actually hides the fragile heart of a young girl underneath.
Rikka's chuunibyou obsession stems from the sudden loss of her father.
At her most vulnerable, she crossed paths with someone who shared her delusions—
Yuuta Togashi, a recovering chuunibyou himself.
From that moment on, Rikka began to believe
her father still existed on the other side of the "Unseen Horizon"—
a parallel world invisible to the naked eye.
And the "Tyrant's Eye" she constantly talks about?
It's her way of seeking out that boundary.
All in all, it's a heartwarming and surprisingly emotional series
hidden beneath layers of goofy antics and delusions.
"If Fischl ever saw this manga… I wonder how she'd react?"
Han Feng couldn't help but smirk.
He hadn't forgotten Mondstadt's very own famous chuunibyou girl.
Would the "Prinzessin der Verurteilung" become a "Wielder of the Tyrant's Eye"?
As for the other new manga—Yu-Gi-Oh!—Han Feng was equally familiar with it.
It's a classic series centered around card duels.
With legendary monsters like Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the Egyptian God Cards,
and mystical items like the Millennium Puzzle, it was a cultural phenomenon.
"A story like that, with such unique elements, should definitely be a hit."
Stretching a little, Han Feng glanced out the window.
The sun was setting.
"That's enough business for today."
He placed the two newly drawn manga on the shelf,
then flipped over the sign on the door: Closed.
Next, he reviewed the day's results.
Two customers in the morning, four in the afternoon—
six customers total.
Income for the day: 600,000 Mora.
Not bad for day one.
As the shop's reputation grew, more customers would come for manga,
and his profits would skyrocket accordingly.
Just then, the system interface popped up.
[You have finished today's business. Please draw one reward at random from the available manga.]
"Finally!"
Han Feng grinned.
After watching others get all kinds of cool rewards,
he was looking forward to trying it himself.
Currently, Relief Bookstore had five manga available:
One Piece – East Blue Arc
Cardcaptor Sakura
Digimon Adventure Season 1
Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!
Yu-Gi-Oh!
Among them, only Love, Chunibyo was a slice-of-life comedy.
The others all involved some kind of supernatural or combat-enhancing element.
For Han Feng, the One Piece world held the most appeal.
Why?
Because rewards like Devil Fruits and Haki were direct power boosts.
Unlike cards or partner creatures, those abilities were internalized—true strength.
Han Feng knew he wouldn't stay in the bookstore forever.
As the shop's fame grew, it was inevitable that others would come coveting it.
The Knights of Favonius were trustworthy.
Jean and her group were upright people.
But others? Not so much.
Especially the Fatui.
After today's conflict,
even if it technically had nothing to do with him,
others might not see it that way.
So power… was necessary.
"System, I choose One Piece – East Blue Arc. Begin draw."
[Drawing…]
[Reward Drawn – Garp's Armament Haki]
Garp's Armament Haki:
Armament Haki enhances both offense and defense.
When applied to the body, it dramatically increases striking power and resistance.
Advanced users can even attack an enemy's internal organs through a form of contactless internal damage.
This version comes from the legendary Marine hero Monkey D. Garp,
whose Haki can split the ground with a single punch—
even without a Devil Fruit.
"Not bad at all."
Han Feng's smile widened.
Among fans, people often speculated about the strongest users of the three Haki types:
Conqueror's Haki → Shanks
His mastery of it was so extreme that his aura alone could cause real damage.
The sky-tearing clash between him and Whitebeard was legendary.
Observation Haki → Katakuri
He trained it to the point where he could see several seconds into the future—
making most other Observation users obsolete in comparison.
Armament Haki → Garp
Known as "Iron Fist Garp,"
this Marine legend teamed up with Gol D. Roger to bring down Rocks D. Xebec,
once the ruler of the New World.
Garp's feats were all accomplished with his fists:
One punch to send Marco flying.
One punch to flatten Blackbeard's First Commander, Burgess.
One punch to crater a mountain-sized enemy.
No Devil Fruit, no gimmicks—just pure Haki.
With such a monster's Armament Haki now in his hands,
Han Feng couldn't help but feel confident.
A power that could both defend and destroy…
was exactly what he needed.
