I have too many anime girlfriends!

Faced with Shinji Kaminaga's "arrogance," Yukino Yukinoshita really wanted to turn around and leave.

But she was too proud to leave now, feeling that she would have lost.

She didn't want to lose to this arrogant guy, so she crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and said to him coldly:

"How are you planning to help me find it? The school is so big, we probably won't find it even by dark."

Shinji Kaminaga continued to answer in his notebook.

"Excuse me, Yukinoshita, where did you usually find your indoor shoes? Since they were deliberately hidden, they shouldn't be too hard to find."

"After all, if your indoor shoes are really thrown away too many times, it will be troublesome if your parents find them. Besides, our school actually has surveillance cameras."

It's not hard to find a primary school student who's guilty of doing something wrong.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him in surprise.

"That makes a lot of sense, but I already know who hid them. It's always the same few people, and they even came to me after doing something bad, taunting me with that smug look in their eyes."

Despite her distress, Yukino Yukinoshita is quite experienced in this kind of thing.

Hmm, being ostracized and then promoted to "experienced" is anyone's guess.

"Since you insist on helping me find them, then come along. I need to bring the recorder and indoor shoes home tomorrow so they won't have a chance to cause any trouble!"

As Yukino Yukinoshita spoke, seemingly intending to show off her detective skills, she led the way with an imposing air.

First, I went to the trash can next to the toilet.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any indoor shoes.

Then there was nothing in the drawer of the teacher's desk in the classroom.

After running around for more than ten minutes, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Yukino Yukinoshita's fair skin, and her cheeks turned red from running.

But I still couldn't find my indoor shoes.

Feeling incredibly embarrassed, Yukino Yukinoshita had tears welling up in her eyes and was on the verge of crying.

But she held back her tears, forcing herself to be strong, and said:

"There's one more place, it's definitely there, but..."

She dared not go.

It was in the back kitchen of the school cafeteria, but there was a dog tied up there, and Yukino Yukinoshita would tremble with fear whenever she saw the dog.

Just as she was struggling with her decision, Shinji Kaminaga patted her shoulder and looked at her with comforting eyes.

Yukino felt a warmth in her heart, and a strange courage rose from the bottom of her soul.

How could she allow anyone to look down on her?

It's just a dog on a leash, who's afraid of who!

That being said, once they arrived at the restaurant's kitchen, Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively clung tightly to Shinji Kaminaga's arm, practically pressing her entire body against him.

Her petite body was trembling slightly, clearly she was terrified.

Shinji Kaminaga smelled a milky fragrance wafting towards him; the little girl smelled quite nice.

Shaking his head, he dragged Yukino Yukinoshita to the large gray dog ​​lying down, and sure enough, he saw a pair of small indoor shoes sitting on the dog's chin.

Yukino Yukinoshita also saw it, and seeing her indoor shoes sitting on the big gray dog's chin, she subconsciously let out a cute "woof".

Seeing the trembling girl, Shinji Kaminaga approached her without changing his expression.

"Hey, I don't want these indoor shoes anymore! Let's get out of here quickly, or we'll be in big trouble if we wake it up!"

Hearing the girl's voice on the verge of tears, Shinji Kaminaga was both amused and exasperated.

This girl was so fierce just now, but she's just a paper tiger.

He wanted to laugh, but he managed to keep a straight face and continued forward without flinching.

Take direct action.

Under Yukino's terrified gaze, he boldly parted the gray dog's chin and took out the indoor shoes.

Fortunately, the indoor shoes were intact and not torn or bitten.

He calmly handed the indoor shoes to the still-shaken Yukino Yukinoshita, leaving her stunned.

Leaving the restaurant kitchen, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the boy beside her with an incredulous expression, her feelings becoming incredibly complicated.

Her opinion of Shinji Kaminaga has changed drastically.

I initially thought he was narcissistic and arrogant, but now I think he is truly brave.

She was trembling with fear and wanted to run away, but he calmly used his hand to pry open the chin of the terrifying creature and help her get her indoor shoes back.

He's so brave!

Patting her chest to calm herself down, Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Shinji Kaminaga.

"Kaminaga-kun, thank you so much for helping me find my indoor shoes! Really, thank you!"

Shinji Kaminaga waved his hand casually and suddenly said, "It's nothing, just a small favor. I've found the indoor shoes, so go home now, Yukinoshita."

"Okay, sure... Hey!!!"

Yukino Yukinoshita, who had subconsciously nodded in response, suddenly realized something and pointed at him in surprise.

"You...you...you spoke, didn't you?"

Shinji Kaminaga smiled and nodded. "Yes, I did. What happened?"

"Huh? What do you mean 'what's wrong'? You...you're a known mute, how can you speak?"

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed, as if she had encountered something unacceptable, her expression extremely conflicted.

Shinji Kaminaga calmly shrugged and replied:

"I only had vocal cord damage since childhood, but it has actually recovered now."

Yukino Yukinoshita, however, was somewhat indignant.

"Now that you've recovered, why didn't you speak earlier? Instead, you kept using your notebook and sign language?"

Shinji Kaminaga's lips curled up slightly. "You probably find it amusing. You're the first person to know that my vocal cords have recovered, Yukinoshita-kun."

"Oh, should I feel honored?" Yukino Yukinoshita stared at the person with displeasure.

"Hmph, you big liar, I'm ignoring you, I'm going home!"

After saying that, the girl arrogantly raised her snow-white chin and quickened her pace to escape.

She ran all the way out of the school gate before patting her chest, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Am I the first person to know his secret? That's kind of interesting."

"Has this guy been keeping quiet for too long, that's why he finally revealed himself in front of me?"

"Hmph, since you helped me today, I won't tell anyone your secret."

After muttering a few words to herself, Yukino Yukinoshita quickly waited for her older sister, got into her private car, and left the school.

Shinji Kaminari sighed softly.

Perhaps, he really had been holding it in for too long.

So, while being mute might seem interesting at first, it can really be depressing in the long run.

However, this can indeed prevent some unnecessary trouble from arising.

After all, he only wanted to talk to the people he cared about.

Perhaps he really was too arrogant.

Speaking of which, my hearing is getting better and better.

It feels a lot like when Ultraman was one with Ultraman.

Even from that distance, he could clearly hear Yukino Yukinoshita's mutterings.
