Tokyo, there are too many beautiful girls imitating me

By the way, at that time, my cousin Akizuki Aino had a crush on a girl in the same class. She liked her from the day she entered junior high school until the day she graduated.

She lacked parental companionship since childhood, and the only person who took care of her was her elderly country grandmother who moved to Tokyo from her childhood and had little experience.

Always teased by children of the same age as an orphan and being excluded and bullied, Akizuki Aino developed a sensitive and timid character.

She didn't dare to talk or communicate with others, and was even more afraid that others would see her face and insult her as an ugly woman, so she covered her cheeks with her long hair. Akizuki Aino's self-protection behavior not only did not work, but made others feel that she was rustic and dark, which further isolated her.

This kind of person is at the bottom of the children's social circle, and usually such people will be constantly mocked and bullied by the mischievous children in the class. In the end, it almost becomes a dead end that makes Akizuki Aino painful but can never be freed.

If you want to conquer a weak girl who is so socially anxious and has such low self-esteem that she thinks she is nothing but dirty dirt on the ground, it is probably the easiest thing. You just need to be a little gentle to her.

Even if you just treat her as a normal girl, as an ordinary friend, as long as you show a little bit of sympathy, Akizuki Aino will almost immediately fall in love with the "first" and then treat her as the "only one".

On the first day of entering middle school, Akizuki Aino met such a girl.

On the slope where cherry blossoms were dancing, the clumsy Akizuki Aino fell flat on her face and scraped her knees. The burning pain made her burst into tears. She almost immediately wanted to return home, cry in her grandmother's arms, and never go to school again.

At that time, a girl handed her a handkerchief. When she looked up, Aino Akizuki's eyes met the girl's cheek with a warm smile. Light poured in from the dark world. Just this little help made her fall in love.

The girl had a pretty face, a tall figure, and was cheerful and talkative. She repeatedly asked Akizuki Aino's name, but Shang Qing couldn't hear what she said in her mosquito-like voice, so he simply carried her to school. Then he was surprised to find that they were in the same class and even sat next to each other.

It was as if it was fate destined by God, and the girl in front of her was her savior. Akizuki Aino must have thought so at the time, so the little love naturally took root in her heart, growing quietly but rapidly.

“When the light music club was first formed, I was the last one to be recruited, and Aino was already a member at that time.

However, it wasn't that the girl she liked was among us, nor was it that we forced Aino, who was not good at saying no, to join the light music club. She came to us on her own initiative.

How could the always timid and flustered Aino have the courage to take the initiative to join a club like the light music club? This was a topic of private discussion among us at the time.

Now that I think about it, maybe it was just because she liked the girl who said that people who play music are very handsome, so Aino tried hard to overcome her fear, mustered up all her courage and strength, and submitted her application to join the club.

As a result, the girl never liked Aino, who played music, but her childhood sweetheart who played drums in another band in the school. He was a boy who was liked by many girls, very sunny and handsome, but too slow in feelings.

Aino, the girls, the boys, and all of us are clearly not bad people, but in the end, we all ended up with an outcome that caused us all to feel deep pain and regret."

At that time, in the cold drink shop, Miki Matsuo was speaking her melancholy words, oppressed by regret and guilt, with her head lowered, almost on the verge of tears.

For her cousin Akizuki Aino, that girl was the person she loved most during that period. After her grandmother passed away, she became the only support in her heart. She was the most important reason why she did not collapse and still chose to go to school.

But to the girl, Akizuki Aino was just a scarred puppy she saw by chance on the roadside, the object of her natural kindness and compassion, an ordinary friend who occupied only a very small part of her colorful life, a little difficult to deal with but impossible to get rid of.

The inequality of status will almost inevitably lead to a tragic ending. At the graduation ceremony, when the boys and girls were in a state of confusion and tension, and in the midst of the panic that if they did not do something, some people might never be contacted again, tragedy broke out.

Akizuki Aino summoned what might be the greatest courage of her life and made her own natal chocolate. She decided to confess her love to the girl on this last day, and the girl, who was about to go to separate schools with her beloved boy, also planned to make the most courageous decision of her life on this memorable day.

So, the girl, who only had eyes for the boy and had no time to care about Akizuki Aino, directly rejected his request to take her to the back of the teaching building for a private chat.

Because of this, she was extremely anxious and her CPU exploded. The clumsy Akizuki Aino turned into a female warrior who was running wild with love at that moment. She handed chocolate to the girl in public, under the gaze of the boy the girl liked, and shouted out her confession.

Chapter 47: Accidental Injury

No matter how much junior high school students claim to be steady, they can never truly handle things maturely.

No matter how gentle and kind a person is in normal times, he or she will lose control when in extreme distress, revealing the malice that has been suppressed in his or her heart, which even he or she may not discover for the first time.

At that time, she was holding a small gift for the boy in her hand and wanted to go forward to hand it over to express her feelings, but was stopped by Akizuki Aino at the moment before confessing her feelings. Then she watched the girl explode with anger when she confessed her feelings to her in public, especially in front of her beloved boy. What she did was such a malicious act.

Afraid that the boy might misunderstand, especially as he watched their every move with an amused smile on his face, the girl grabbed the chocolate that Aino had carefully crafted and threw it to the ground, ruthlessly stomping on her feelings and crushing them, while shouting uncontrollably:

How could I possibly like a gloomy and depressed woman like you, who hides her face with her hair and dares not let anyone see it, has a bad temper, emits a rotten stench all over her body, and is an ugly woman who only makes people feel irritated when they are with you?

I was just being kind to you out of pity, and now you're confessing your feelings to me? Please look at yourself in your own vomit. Your presence makes me sick!"

Afterwards, because she showed a bad look, the girl who was rejected by the boy also confessed in front of several members of the light music club, including Miki Matsuoka, saying that she was just too afraid that the boy would misunderstand something, and was too eager to break up with Aino Akizuki, so she said something without thinking.

But listening to Miki Matsuoka's story, Chika Tachibana always felt that it was the girl's defense for her evil deeds, a lie that deceived others and herself at the same time in order to make her conscience feel at ease.

If he didn't really have such a bad impression of his cousin in their daily interactions, how could he feel so embarrassed and ashamed when his cousin confessed to him in public, and use the worst words to destroy the beautiful image of himself in Akizuki Aino's mind, and cut off ties with her in the worst way?

Perhaps, even her daily care for her cousin Aino Akizuki was just an act of exploitation in order to maintain her own gentle and kind personality.

Of course, only the parties involved know these specific psychological factors. Chika Tachibana can only guess and cannot get a definite answer.

All she knew for sure was that her cousin's inner pillar had completely collapsed because of these merciless words. Her fragile heart was wounded, and she began to fear being hurt again. She began to resist communicating with others, always locking herself in the house, closing her heart and never setting foot in the outside world.

But there was still a more difficult part. At that time, sitting in the cold drink shop, Chika Tachibana asked a question, interrupting Miki Matsuoka's sad memories.

"So what about everyone in the light music club? After three years of getting along, you must have established a deep friendship with her, especially you, Matsuo-senpai. I believe you must be sincere towards your cousin.

And my cousin must have been deeply grateful to you for treating her so gently. So, when she was frustrated in life, didn't she choose to ask you for help? Didn't you comfort her after learning about what happened?

Even if she rejected others after what happened, she should still be willing to communicate with you."

A little sunshine will make the world bright. For Aino Akizuki, who has few friends, although the members of the light music club are not the most important objects of her admiration, they are definitely friends worthy of trust. However, judging from the content displayed in the simulation, it is clear that her cousin still cares about the members of the light music club, but refuses to have any further contact with them.

The answer to this question is yet another misunderstanding.

"Try to clear up the misunderstanding. Haven't you regretted this for two years? After knowing the truth, your cousin will definitely feel much better, and you will feel much better too."

Miki Matsuoka was still feeling the pain of the past, but she was so attached to her cousin's room that she couldn't bring herself to knock on the door.

Seeing her like this, Chika Tachibana held her hands, which were hesitant to knock on the door, and comforted her softly.

On the day of graduation, unlike her cousin who was in a hurry to confess her love, the members of the light music club who were scattered to different schools chose to return to the club room for one last commemorative performance.

But because my cousin Qiuyue Aino had not returned yet, everyone didn't know what was happening on the other side, so they sat together and chatted, recalling the many interesting things in the past three years and feeling sorry that everyone was separated.

And finally, naturally, they talked about Aino Akizuki who had not returned yet, and Miki Matsuo who entered Changsheng High School with her.

"Aino's hair is always covering her face. She looks too rustic and gloomy."

"They are always timid in everything they do, and their voices are as quiet as flies when talking to people other than us. They can't even speak clearly, which makes them seem unapproachable."

"Yeah, the atmosphere is so gloomy and depressing. There's even a legend in school that getting close to Aino will bring bad luck."

"She's an unpleasant, unapproachable, and uncomfortable girl in every way. I have to say, Aino is truly terrible."

Because of inferiority complex, there is social anxiety. Because of social anxiety, it is difficult to interact with others normally. Because of the inability to interact with others normally, there is even more inferiority complex and more social anxiety.

Falling into a terrible vicious circle, Akizuki Aino, a socially anxious person with a gloomy personality caused by the misfortune of her original family, has too many shortcomings.

When talking about her, everyone in the light music club started to criticize her, and even Matsuo Miki couldn't help but conclude that she was a really bad person.

But in fact, these shortcomings cannot stop everyone from having the most sincere love for Akizuki Aino, the girl who has been silently supporting them with her superb bass skills that must have been obtained through countless hard practices.

Even though she has so many shortcomings, everyone still likes her, but we can't let her continue like this with so many shortcomings, and we can't let her be alone with so many shortcomings.

So everyone was pointing out her shortcomings, but they were also entrusting her to Miki Matsushima's hands.

From now on, you will have to protect this poor child alone, Miki. In the new school, you must take the responsibility of taking care of her and changing her.

This was clearly what everyone wanted to say, but the unspoken words that followed were not heard by Akizuki Aino at all. Instead, she was interrupted by Akizuki Aino, who happened to only hear these scoldings outside the office, and fled in panic, even bumping into the bucket outside the door.

Not only did the girl she loved the most betray and insult her, but even her last friends, the friends in the light music club with whom she had been for three years, looked at her the same way behind her back, thinking she was a worm that was only fit to crawl in the dark.

The betrayal shattered the sincere friendship that had been built up over the past three years. It was precisely because the friendship was too sincere that such betrayal became increasingly unacceptable.

After suffering a series of extremely heavy blows, her life, which had once had a glimmer of hope, turned completely into darkness at that moment.

Then the girl completely collapsed.

Text: Chapter 48. She is so powerful!

The graduation commemorative performance was never played in the end.

Akizuki Aino, who is usually clumsy and often falls when walking, was unexpectedly able to run that day. Until the end, everyone in the light music club was unable to find her and resolve the misunderstanding.

After that, everyone learned from other people what happened to Aino Akizuki. They were more eager to find her to explain, but Aino Akizuki, who chose to stay indoors and isolate herself, had completely lost contact.

Later, when she entered high school, she searched everywhere for Akizuki Aino in Changsheng High School but couldn't find her. Matsushima Miki had no choice but to assume that she had transferred to another school, left Tokyo, or even left Japan to go to the United States where her mother was.

The misunderstanding could not be resolved and the regret could not be erased. This incident tormented Miki Matsuo for nearly two years.

"Now is the perfect opportunity. I want my cousin to be able to leave home again. Please give me a helping hand, Senior Sister."

What Miki Matsuo was going to say next to her good friend Aino Akizuki were her true feelings, which were some sentimental and hypocritical words that she couldn't express freely in the presence of others.

The most important thing when interacting with others is to strike a balance. In order to allow Miki Matsuoka to express her thoughts and regrets with all her strength, he also believed that she would be able to say the right words that would help her cousin leave home.

After being comforted, Chika Tachibana did not stay for long. She patted her shoulder encouragingly and smiled gently. Then she returned to the living room and waited quietly for the outcome of the conversation.

The luxurious parfait that was brought back was placed in the refrigerator. It was almost seven o'clock, so Chika Tachibana did not hesitate and started preparing dinner immediately.

She is sensitive and fragile at heart. Listening to Miki Matsuo's heartfelt apology, her cousin on the other side of the door would probably burst into tears. When she gets hungry from crying, she will have to fill her stomach quickly, because they still have to play together in the evening and do the next simulation.

I came back late and didn't go shopping for groceries, so I could only make some simple meals with the remaining ingredients at home. Light scallion noodles and a soft-boiled egg seemed to be a good dinner under these circumstances.

The noodles were put into the pot. While waiting for them to boil, Miki Matsuo came out. Her eyes were moist and her eye sockets were a little red and swollen, and her beautiful and gentle cheeks were even slightly pink, which made people feel pity and stunning at the same time.

Lowering her eyes, Chikako Tachibana bit her lips to suppress the distracting thoughts in her mind.

Last time it was Kanzuki Masuzu, and this time it was Matsunaga Miki. The sight of beautiful girls crying always made her heart beat faster, and she felt that they were even more gorgeous and lovely than usual.

She seemed to have a special liking for making girls cry.

"It's getting late. Would you like to stay for dinner and try my cooking, Song Sheng-senpai? My food is delicious, and besides, Ichiro Shinrin will be here too, so we can eat together."

She took off her apron and without asking Miki Matsuoka if she could help her cousin resolve her feelings, Chika Tachibana naturally invited her to stay for dinner and said some very suggestive words.

"No, my parents will be worried if I go back later. I'll definitely come and try your cooking skills, Qianhua, after I've told them in advance."

"I'm looking forward to it. And next time, maybe my cousin will sit at the table too."

"..."

Listening to Chika Tachibana's smiling words, Matsunami Miki fell silent for a moment, looking downcast, and sighed as she apologized.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't able to communicate with Aino until the very end. I was the only one apologizing from beginning to end... I'm afraid it must have been bothering her that someone like me, who had been rejected by her, suddenly came to her house and kept talking to her."

"My cousin is just shy. Deep down, she must be happy because you are such a gentle person. You still remember her and come all the way here to explain things to her and express your deepest regrets.

Although there was no communication, I think that the solid fortress in my cousin's heart must have been severely smashed by you, leaving scars that are big enough for people to reach into.

My cousin is really happy to have a friend like you who silently supports her."

Chika Tachibana can be overly gentle at very appropriate times. She is just that kind of girl, and that is why she is liked by everyone.

As irrefutable evidence, whenever her gentle voice filled her ears, Matsushima Miki would suddenly widen her tear-red eyes, staring fixedly at the girl in front of her, her pupils moistened once again, and tears almost bursting out again.

The chopped green onions on the chopping board are still bright, the noodles in the pot are still rolling in the boiling water, the apron she took off is draped over the stove, and the girl who stirs the food from time to time with chopsticks in her hand is so reassuring and warm.

For no reason, Miki Matsushima suddenly had a premonition in her heart.

If it was she, the incompetent senior who had hurt Aino Akizuki, who had knocked a crack in the heart of the clumsy girl who had locked herself up with a solid wall, then the person who could reach in and truly make Aino Akizuki open her heart must be Chika Tachibana.

It will definitely be like this. The next time she comes, the empty table will be occupied by Maru and Aino, then she and Chika, and the other four, or even more people.

"Chihua."

Solemnly, Miki Matsunami bowed to Chika Tachibana, thanked her, and made a request to her.

"Aino is in my hands. Please let her walk out of the house and into the outside world again. Let her know that there are people who are willing to accept her. Let her know that she can become a better person.

I just hope that the bassist of the band will be Aino."

"Senior, really, I should be the one to thank you."

The straight girl's bad habit kicked in again. In such a sentimental and ambiguous atmosphere, Chika Tachibana walked up to Miki Matsuoka and lifted her shoulders without any care, wiped the tears from her eyes, and then gently held her in her arms and made a firm promise.

“I will definitely let my cousin join the light music club, then protect her, change her, and let her smile again and play cheerful music with everyone.

Senior sister, the music you like."

Both his behavior and words were too gentle and overly arousing. The moment her cheek was pressed against Chika Tachibana's shoulder and her hair was stroked, Matsushima Miki only felt a burning heat spreading throughout her body. Her ears seemed to be blocked, and only the sound of her heart thumping could be heard.

At the same time, along with the heart, the boiling water in the pot and the lid gurgling under the impact of the boiling water also beat.

"Waaaaaah, my noodles!"

Listening to Chika Tachibana's panicked cries, Miki Matsushima stood there in a daze, covering her completely burned cheeks with both hands, letting out a soft cry from between her fingertips.

The water is boiling.

Text: Chapter 49. A woman who is very good at playing straight!

"I'll leave Aino to you. I remembered I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first!"

While they were talking, the boiling water almost overturned the lid of the pot. As the water was already overflowing, Chika Tachibana hurriedly turned off the fire and frantically wiped it.

At this moment, she suddenly heard Miki Matsuo's slightly sharp words. When Chika Tachibana looked up, she had already run to the entrance and was hurriedly putting on her shoes. One foot was already in and the other was hanging in the air in an attempt to put on the shoes faster. She lost her balance and almost fell.

"Why is it so..."
