I have too many anime girlfriends!

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Shinji Kaminaga, who was being fawned over by several young girls, and couldn't help but purse her lips.

This brat is only in sixth grade and he's already so popular with girls. He's definitely going to be a jerk in the future!

She muttered to herself, but her heart ached more and more.

This child is already investing in finding a partner at such a young age, what about me?

I'm already 25, my wonderful other half, where are you?

While pondering, Hiratsuka Shizuka thought of Shinji Kaminaga's curse that she would still be unmarried at 31, and was immediately filled with resentment.

If she really can't get married, this guy has to take responsibility!

Last night, Hiratsuka Shizuka was also pulled into the dream space, but she didn't have the qualifications to become a shrine maiden, so Shirayuki casually assigned her to do odd jobs in the dream.

In other words, she knew nothing about demons.

Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of luck.

At least in her dreams, although she was working herself to the bone like a beast of burden, it wasn't exactly a nightmare.

Because Naoka Ueno and the others were not qualified enough, they were not tested. Naturally, when they woke up, they had forgotten everything and had no idea that they almost became shrine maidens.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If every pretty little girl had amazing talent, the world would be full of superhumans.

After breakfast, the task of washing the dishes was left to the little girls, as Shinji Kaminaga simply didn't want to do it.

During this time, Ishida Shoya asked curiously, "Where did that expressionless, show-off older brother go?"

The one with a poker face who likes to show off is none other than Hiroshi Fujiwara.

This guy was, of course, blasted to smithereens by Shinji Kaminaga's Specium Ray.

Yukino Yukinoshita casually explained, "That guy couldn't stand being in the wild, so he went back early."

The elementary school students didn't doubt it, and they didn't particularly care about that thing anyway.

In the eyes of elementary school students, Hiroshi Fujiwara is not only pretentious but also lazy. While they are all busy cooking, he just watches and eats a lot.

His approach was completely unpopular with elementary school students.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could a demon have the patience to get close to a child?

It's already a miracle that he doesn't call someone a "little kid" all the time.

Seeing Shinji Kaminaga being entangled by Naoka Ueno and Miki Kawai, Yukino Yukinoshita pouted and didn't say anything.

She returned to the shrine, looked at the statue, and then subconsciously glanced in the direction of the toilet.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in my mind.

"What, are you wondering if that hateful man was really buried under the toilet by the celestial maiden?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was startled, but she tried her best to remain calm and asked a question.

"You are...Snow White?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Where...where are you?"

"Well, how should I put it? I'm currently living inside your body, but don't worry, it's good for both of us. I can help you speed up your cultivation."

"What do I have to give in return?" Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lip and asked calmly.

She doesn't believe in the existence of anything that comes without effort.

Bai Xue smiled gently and replied, "You don't need to pay anything. I am now your guardian spirit and I can never harm you."

"Let's talk about the rest privately tonight. If you don't want to see what happened in last night's dream, then focus on your cultivation."

After she finished speaking, Shirayuki fell silent. Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously clenched her small fists, recalling the bloodied and mangled appearance of Shinji Kaminaga last night, and the sight of her sister being beaten and vomiting blood. Her eyes became incredibly determined.

She needs strength!

That's enough to protect that idiot, and to protect my sister!

As I was thinking about something, I heard a familiar voice behind me.

"So you were here! Yukinoshita, I've been looking for you for ages!"

Turning her head to look at Shinji Kaminari, Yukino Yukinoshita snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and retorted irritably:

"What do you want from me? Aren't Ueno and Kawai with you?"

That sounds a bit sarcastic.

Shinji Kaminaga was incredibly happy, but on the surface he remained calm.

He stepped forward, took her small hand, and walked towards the door.

"Compared to Ueno and Kawai, I would prefer Yukinoshita to be by my side."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita blushed and couldn't hold back her laughter.

"What...what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Just take it as me talking nonsense. Okay, I should go now. Xiaoxiao will be lonely without you."

In response, Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to argue that Shoko Nishimiya had Miyoko Sahara by her side, so she definitely wouldn't be lonely.

But when her gaze fell on the hand he was holding, she opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing, tacitly acquiescing to his gesture of holding her hand.

Although she was unhappy that this guy liked to flirt with girls, Shinji Kaminaga was different from Hayato Hayama; he wouldn't abandon her for someone else.

It was as if no matter where she went, he would find her and lend her a helping hand.

This feeling of being specially cared for warmed Yukino Yukinoshita's heart.

Even without Hiroshi Fujiwara, the summer camp activities continued as normal.

Under Shinji Kaminaga's deliberate guidance, the relationship between Yukino Yukinoshita and Naoka Ueno improved somewhat, but they did not develop a deeper friendship.

There's no way around it; people with different values ​​can't work together. Yukino Yukinoshita is more rational and indifferent than those spoiled, jealous little girls.

Especially after what happened last night, she felt that she shouldn't waste her time competing with other girls. Instead, she should think about how to control the power of the shrine maiden so as to protect the people who are important to her.

Another thing is her personality; she doesn't like to flatter others and is easily swayed by others' opinions, so she can't get along with Naoka Ueno and the others at all.

Hayato Hayama gets along well with everyone, and his ability to act as a "central air conditioner" is already beginning to show.

However, what frustrated Hayama Hayato was that Shinji Kaminaga and Yukino Yukinoshita didn't talk to him at all.

Nishimiya Shoko would respond to his greetings, but that was all.

He instinctively sensed that Shinji Kaminaga did not intend to become close friends with him.

This was a very upsetting thing for Hayato Hayama, and he felt a sense of defeat.

While Yukino Yukinoshita was admiring the scenery by the stream, Hayato Hayama hesitated before approaching.

"Um... Yukinoshita-san, I... I want to say sorry to you."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback for a moment, then calmly waved her hand.

"It's okay, you don't need to apologize. Although the reason I was ostracized was because of you, it was also largely because I couldn't get along with them."

"You just don't know how to help me fit in with those people. I appreciate your kindness, but I don't need it. Please don't do anything unnecessary in the future, so as not to make everyone feel awkward."

Unnecessary?

Does it refer to the time you tried to get her to join other girls' conversations by finding topics to talk about?

Hayato Hayama was immediately embarrassed, because he realized that all his efforts had been in vain.

Even though the female classmates didn't seem to target Yukino Yukinoshita on the surface, they started ostracizing her again as soon as he left.

What's even more frustrating is that Yukino Yukinoshita didn't blame him at all; instead, she seemed completely indifferent.

A nonchalant attitude is more hurtful.

They were childhood sweethearts, but now they're like strangers.

Hayato Hayama felt like he had played a winning hand terribly.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't say anything more to Hayato Hayama. After telling him not to bother her with anything unnecessary, she left the stream and returned to Shinji Kaminaga's side.

Shinji Kaminaga was taking a nap under a tree with little girl Yuzuru Nishimiya.

Unlike Ishida Shoya, who was already running around with two newly acquainted friends, Kaminaga Shinji quietly took his lunch break.

Yukino Yukinoshita thought for a moment and then sat down next to him.

Even with Nishimiya Shoko around, she wasn't as lonely as before, but watching Ueno Naoka and Kawai Miki's cheerful chatter, she always felt out of place in the world.

Moreover, with what happened last night, she was under immense pressure.

No matter how mature and calm she tries to appear, Yukino Yukinoshita is just a sixth-grade elementary school student at this moment, and she is far less strong than she imagines herself to be.

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to play?"

A familiar voice reached her ears, and Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head to see Shinji Kaminaga, with a little girl nestled in his arms, his head resting on his arm, looking at her with concern.
