Extroverts are TERRIFYING!!
Word!
Who dresses like that at work? It looks like the marketing girl just got isekai-ed from a fantasy world. As stupid as it sounds, it kind of breaks the suspension of disbelief for me.
Thank goodness it wasn't just me. She was giving me "baddie-of-the-week from a magical girl show" vibes.
I kinda like it. Maybe it shows the extrovert is just as looney as the MC.
My guess is, based on this chapter, that Zhiyi deliberately tries to emulate this "Party-chan" mascot's appearance, assuming that this is what Ai Xu likes. Based on their "exchange" in the elevator, Zhiyi is a big fan of Ai Xu's work and is actively pursuing her affection, not yet realizing that she needs to be very careful with her. If she does realize that and change her behavior accordingly (i.e. shielding Ai Xu from excessive social obligations), this series could become incredibly Wholesome yet.
