The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

(My writing skills are limited, so I’ll explain it at the end of the article to help you understand.)

This world does not revolve around him. Even if he becomes a time traveler, he is not the real protagonist. Ping Xin has known this for a long time.

From invisible dust particles to celestial bodies like the earth beneath our feet, there is gravity between all things and they attract each other and eventually reach a state of equilibrium. This is the law of universal gravitation, the invisible force that runs through human life.

Ping Xin believes that not only does gravity exist between all things, but there is also a special kind of gravity between people. Since our ancestors were very early in our history, humans have been connected by various kinds of gravity.

In the earliest times, human beings gave birth to families due to the attraction of blood ties, and then ethnic groups and tribes were formed due to the attraction of survival and ethnicity. As more and more people gathered together for certain reasons between families and ethnic groups, new relationships and new attractions were finally formed, which is society.

As the concept of society continues to develop and improve, the definition of human "quality (value)" is also constantly changing -

For example, in ancient times, strong males became the backbone of a family. As more people formed tribes, those who were strong, intelligent, and alert became the leaders. As human cognition improved and the hierarchy system was divided and improved, more and more things divided people into different classes.

Appearance, wisdom, force, money, power, and status.

Based on social consensus, people are divided into different "levels" based on these characteristics, from the smallest, invisible dust to celestial bodies like the earth beneath our feet and the sun in the sky. Even if ordinary people don't want to measure people like meat on the scale, they have to admit that there are differences in "quality" between different people. Even people separated by a wall can live lives of different levels.

As mentioned before, Heishin is a person with a profound lack of security, and he has spent his entire life pursuing true security, absolute security. So...

How can this be done?

Even if you gain wealth and glory by relying on your parents' money, status, power and connections, it is just a mirage. What if your parents suddenly disappear one day?

Relying on the power of his father's clan, he can dominate the Yan Kingdom and become the uncrowned king, but what if one day a greater power and a greater force wipes him out?

Relying on your mother's family is nonsense. Even if you rely on the blood ties inherited from your estranged mother, how can such a corrupt family not control you?

The answer is actually very obvious, that is to continuously improve the quality of oneself——

Only one's own strength is the most loyal, reliable and reassuring thing.

He inherited the excellent genes from his parents and has an outstanding appearance. Ten years of diligent study and hard training have enabled him to gain true wisdom and invincible martial arts among his peers at a young age. Relying on the knowledge and experience of his previous life, he has accumulated wealth. With his ability to know people and use them well and his extremely broad mind, he has countless loyal subordinates and has the status of a leader. The endless wealth and power have brought him the supreme status.

He had now become one of the most powerful "celestial beings" on Earth, but this was merely a means to an end. It wasn't money and power itself that captivated people, but the meaning they represented—the thrill of being able to manipulate others into submission, the sense of superiority that came from wantonly controlling and toying with one's own kind, like a god.

But this is just the ordinary vulgar people's thoughts. In Ping Xin's heart is a purer... more terrifying existence.

He hated separation, was afraid of returning to being alone, and longed for new warmth. Therefore, the gravitational force brought by this overwhelming mass entangled the people he favored, making them inseparable.

From small things like daily greetings with a smile, treating people to meals, and exchanging gifts, to big things like helping the girls in the band realize their dreams, settling the feud with Meganelle, and providing countless bad students with a chance to be reborn, it is actually all for themselves.

Apart from satisfying his personal inner moral needs, Ping Xin's every move is purely "willful" and absolutely self-centered, and such behavior naturally has a huge and far-reaching impact on the people around him.

Jin Kirikiri established the school of his ideals, Kyoko Kirikiri had a closer relationship with her father, although she often spoke unkindly to her father, but this made them closer; he gave unconditional support to Ryo Yamada, who had a similar personality, so that she had someone to rely on and an irreplaceable important person; he helped Hongka Ijichi share the pressure of taking care of her best friend Ryo, so that this good child who was always taking care of others also felt cared for, and Ichiri Goto got some courage from him, although it seemed to have no effect now, but the seeds of hope will eventually bloom.

He cured Yamabuki Saya's mother, Chihiro Yamabuki, and reduced the burden on her shoulders. He became a reliable big brother in her mind and became a close friend with Yamabuki's father, Tsutomu Yamabuki. Communicating with Kitazawa Ikumi made her more confident about her girlish side. He helped Wakamiya Eve, a bushido girl who returned from Finland, to make friends and find a new part-time job. His friendship with the shut-in genius girl Arisaki Ichigaya allowed her to stay in touch with the outside world and have stronger interpersonal relationships than before.

The more mature and stable Mizukuri and her four childhood friends from Afterglow - Aoba Mocha who knows how to grasp the scale and observe things more thoroughly, Uehara Himari who eats more delicious desserts but consumes more energy, Udagawa Tomoe who is still scary when angry but can be calmer when encountering problems, and Hanazawa Tsugumi who still looks the most ordinary among the five but is extremely good in all aspects from playing musical instruments, interpersonal communication, to the most basic learning.

The four members of Minato Yukina and Roselia, who have opened their hearts a little and tried to rely on the people around them - childhood friend Lisa Imai, who no longer worries about what will happen if she can't keep up with Yukina, but supports Yukina with all her strength in every way; Sayo Hikawa, whose guitar playing has also improved after her relationship with her younger sister Hina has eased; Ako Udagawa, who finally has the opportunity to follow in her sister's footsteps and find the "coolness" in her heart; Rinko Shirokane, who musters the courage to overcome social anxiety together with her best friend.

Ichinose Asuna, who has always been successful in everything she does due to her divine luck but has recently started to learn about relationships with the sexes; Kadodate Karin, who has overcome the inferiority complex brought on by her past experiences and is working hard to pursue her life goals; Murokasa Akane, who finally has the opportunity to pursue her dream of becoming a maid; and Meganelu, who has settled her old grudges and her mission of searching for her loved ones and is now looking for a new family.

His younger sister Asuka Matoki, whose fate was changed by him from the very beginning, and the shadow maids who were gradually "turned over" (conquered) by him, as well as countless ordinary people including former delinquents.

As well as some characters who have already appeared but have not yet met or reunited.

The thing they had in common was gravity. Ping Xin's gravity had forcefully altered the trajectory of their fates, forcing them into every corner of their lives, becoming people they could never forget. They revolved around him like asteroids captured by a more massive celestial body.

Just like this, even if he does nothing and makes no arrangements, the "gravity of fate" will bring them to Pingxin, just like this summer festival.

If he needs to become a man to protect his family, then he will grow up. If he needs to become a superior to protect his current life, then he will fight for power and profit. If this is not enough to make everything go according to what he thinks is "right", then he will change the government, change the country, and change the world until his wish is fulfilled.

This is Ping Xin, an extremely selfish, self-centered, yet extremely pitiful person.

Chapter 82 A new day begins in the early morning

In the morning, Meganelle was awakened by the sunlight, the gentle breeze, and the sound of music carried by the wind. She was the type who liked to sleep until she woke naturally, but ever since that incident, her body and mind were often awakened, and she no longer had the right to enjoy a leisurely moment.

Being able to lie on the tatami in a traditional luxury hotel, covered with a soft quilt, and wake up slowly without feeling anxious, all this was thanks to the man in front of her -

"...Good morning, Nello."

Noticing the man's gaze from the side, Asuka Maheishin put down the guitar in his hand, rolled over on the tatami, and then knelt on one knee handsomely. He touched Nel's head and awakened her from a long-ago dream with tenderness.

What? He doesn't look like a very powerful person at all. He looks more like an ordinary boy next door.

"Haa ...

After yawning, Meganilu closed her eyes again, enjoying this hard-earned warm moment. She hadn't enjoyed such a feeling for a long time... a long time since her father left.

Sniff--

"...Why does this room seem to have a strange smell? And you... don't usually wear perfume, do you?"

From the angle that Nilu couldn't see, Ping Xin's smile became distorted, as if he was a little unable to hold it in. Well, after all, even he couldn't have imagined that he would be...

"Maybe it's because we were so close that the smells mixed together... Did you forget that the three of us slept on the same futon last night?"

I've already showered, but I can still smell it. Is it because of the lingering body odor or...

“…Is that so…Haa ...

Meganilu yawned again. In fact, it didn't matter what the answer was. She just said whatever she thought of. These two people were always so straightforward when they were together in private.

Thanks to her increasingly strong physique after practicing wave energy and maid fighting techniques (?), Meganelle quickly regained consciousness, opened her eyes, and blinked—

“…Aaaaaaaaaah!”

With a strange cry, Nilu distanced herself from the door. The waitress who had been waiting outside the door for a long time also blushed and covered her ears and continued to kneel on the cushion at the door. Only the other person in the room was surprised by this and kept stroking the air with one hand.

So this is... a sudden illness?

It doesn’t seem like it… So she discovered something, but didn’t wipe it clean at that time?!

No, that wouldn't be a good reaction. At least, I shouldn't have such a shy expression...

Pingxin couldn't imagine it, absolutely couldn't imagine that she just suddenly remembered that she fell asleep in sweat after a quarrel yesterday, and then when she woke up, she suddenly started to worry whether she had some unpleasant smell on her body. It was just that simple.

"Well...I'm going to take a shower then."

"Oh...oh - I washed it before, you go ahead..."

The atmosphere inside the room was awkward. Nilu, who suddenly distanced herself from him, and Pingxin, who was completely confused, both thought they were disliked and dared not speak. However, Pingxin, who had already confirmed her feelings through her sleep talking, would no longer worry about these trivial matters.

"It's messed up..."

In the bathroom, Nilu, who was completely naked, hammered the glass in frustration, but she failed to control the change in force caused by the further increase in the ripples.

If there's just a tiny crack...

No, it's so big that someone will definitely find out, right? I don't know if her part-time job salary is enough to compensate—

"Hanabi を见ていた (Fireworks come into view), きっとまだEnd わらない夏が (summer must not be over yet), ambiguity な心を解かして合いだ (untie the ambiguous heart knots and connect them tightly)"

, この夜が続いてdesire しかった (May tonight never end)

「あと何多君と同じ花火を见られるかな」って

(I can watch the same fireworks with you a few more times.)"

......

...

..

"...Are you done washing? Then blow dry your hair--"

"That song just now! What was it called?"

"Oh... um... light the fireworks."

"Is this the song you...just made?"

Is this the song you made for me? Meganelle wanted to ask this question, but an inexplicable resistance prevented her from speaking. Even a child who is usually optimistic and resolute would hesitate and find it difficult to take a courageous step forward at such a time.

"Well...should I call it a newly composed song or a song I 'just thought of'? Either way, at this moment, it belongs only to you and me."

The waitress outside the house took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. She thought he was just a rich man with "unique hobbies", but she didn't expect him to have such feelings.

"Have you heard about it too, Zhu Yin?"

"No, after all, we watched the fireworks together last night, and only that little sleepyhead couldn't get up no matter how hard we tried."

"Hey, so..."

Although Zhu Yin had said something like, "Just treat it as a preview of what it would be like to take the kids on a honeymoon trip later," it didn't really matter if she didn't say anything about this, right? She knew without a doubt that Nel would be furious. Absolutely.

But if it's a honeymoon trip, then you'll do all sorts of things...

"What's wrong with you? You look a little weird."

Nilu looked at Ping Xin curiously. He usually had a smile or a poker face, but rarely did he show such an expression.

"Nothing, I just remembered... the phone! Yes, that's right. I suddenly remembered that your mother called me again last night, but she hung up as soon as I answered. Maybe she has something to ask you."

But it is also possible that "that movement" was mistaken for...

"Ah? It's just something like this... Really, she's always so worried... I'm going to call her right now—"

"Yeah, let's go downstairs and have breakfast together later. It's not too late now."

"I know~"

Nilu took her cell phone and ran to the balcony with a great view. Unfortunately, there were no fireworks now, but Nilu had her own fireworks in her heart.

"...Whatever you hear, see, or know, don't tell anyone about it. Got it?"

The waitress outside the door was startled by Delta who appeared out of nowhere. She nodded quickly and left this floor. This floor was booked last night and now there was only one guest in this room.

"But I didn't expect Akane's ideal maid to be like this... Cleaning, cooking, and 'serving' are fine, but she also wants to race cars, fight, and have gunfights—"

Where can you find a maid like this?"

No, it seems like all of his shadow maids do possess these abilities...

Although she was happy to be liked, very happy, her view on love was also a bit... novel?

What's more, he didn't expect that right after the first time a woman confessed to him, another woman confessed to her right after that. Nilu used her "dream talking" skill to interrupt their good times, otherwise something bad would have happened, right?

Chapter 83 I'm Waiting for You

"...Have you been waiting long?"

"No, not really. On the contrary, how was the conversation between you and your daughter?"

Thinking of the "gossip" her mother had just said, Meganilu's eyes, which had drooped slightly due to the comfort of her life, instantly pulled up again, and she looked as "full of murderous intent" as when she faced those gangsters in the past.

"No...nothing, just told me to 'be careful' or something...Ahahaha——"

Nilu laughed it off and tried to get away with it, and Pingxin didn't pursue the matter and just nodded.

She was half a step behind and couldn't see Ping Xin's face clearly, but she could sense through some sense that some changes seemed to have taken place in him, an absolute change, a complete transformation!

"Did something... happen between you and Akane?"

"No, nothing...why do you ask?"

Nilu just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second she was startled by the man who suddenly squatted down to look at her level.

"...Did...Is it something I did?"

"No, nothing—"

Rather, it's because you didn't do anything...

But Pingxin would not ask any further questions. He was greatly encouraged by the fact that he accidentally learned from his sleep that "in addition to his sister, there are two other beautiful girls who like him." Perhaps this time he can really muster the courage to change.

But he won't say nothing or ask, he will just wait until the moment you want to tell me in person -

"Let's go, let's go eat."

"...Um!"

Holding each other's hands, the two walk side by side, their destination being a beautiful tomorrow.
