The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"..."

But there was no answer or response... Really?

Karin looked down, and the sight made her dark skin glow with an alluring pink hue.

Good news: There is a response

The bad news: Not much, and the response doesn't seem quite right.

Yes, although I did respond to my lover's words, it was only a physical response, a... pathetic physiological phenomenon.

Although the social dead part in the morning was stopped by someone who was later found, Ping Xin at that time did not even have the mood to respond to her scolding. He listened mechanically and went to the classroom on his own.

Good news: The social death phase was interrupted

Bad news: It's socially dead, and it's still being widely spread.

Such a thing was beyond the ability of a "sandwich-fragile" person like him who had just recovered from social phobia to bear, so he passively turned on the autism mode with one click and cut off communication with the outside world.

Ugh, I finally managed to create a good image after my high school debut, why are you... Asuna?

There is no point and meaning in blaming her. After all, she was just worried that the kitten could not be brought in reasonably. She just used the "good method" she could think of. She meant well but ended up with a bad result. What did she do wrong?

No, of course she was not wrong—

"Because I'm the one who's wrong, a fragile person... Hehe... Hehe haha... Hee!"

"Hmm... This doesn't look good. I've never seen him like this."

Even the super cooperative Meganilu said no?

At this point, we can only use off-field assistance!

......

...

..

"You said, my brother... I know, then I'll hang up first--"

"Wait! You haven't told me the solution yet!"

"Don't worry, little one. Brother will recover in a while... although it may take a little longer this time."

"What do you mean by wait? And you actually called me little again--...Hang up...This guy actually--!"

Anyway, regardless of bowing his head to ask for help from his juniors, Miganel, whose blood pressure was rising as usual, Asuna, Karin, and Akane also surrounded Hirashin, and did not even go to eat during lunch break. It seems that this matter is really serious.

*No, actually I was just blocked from the cafeteria under someone's orders

"...If you really want to end this quickly, talk about something that interests him, such as...why didn't Karin-senpai show up last time. That's it, I'm hanging up now...Seniors, I'm leaving my brother in your care."

After repeatedly calling back, Nilu finally got through, only to be told off by Xiaoshi about the conversation and then immediately hung up. It was all because she was too young. How could she possibly compete with the Asuka siblings, who had extensive online and offline experience?

"Then give it a try!"

"Asuina..."

Hua Lin hesitated to speak.

That day, after meeting Asuna who suddenly appeared, they wanted to go to the appointment together, but she suddenly ran away without saying a word, which scared Hana Rin so much that she had to chase her. In the end, neither of them went and they stood up the ordinary message in vain.

Although that incident was indeed a knot between them, and now was indeed the right time after confirming their relationship, Karin absolutely did not want to "force" her best friend Asuna to say something she might not want to say...

But looking at the lifeless Ping Xin in front of her, she chose to remain silent——

If all else fails, just use the invincible "self-sacrifice" skill!

Others naturally didn't know what Hua Lin was thinking, but while the three of them were thinking, someone had already taken the initiative to attack!

"Ping Xin, do you know... Actually-"

......

...

..

"Hara Rin, didn't you say you were looking for Ping Xin? Hurry up! What should we play later..."

That day, Asuna met Karin by chance and they talked for a while. Then they naturally learned that Hiranobu had made an appointment with Karin nearby, so (Asuna) decided to go together, and Karin had no choice but to follow.

Unlike ordinary couples, Hiranobu and Karin, who were not lovers at the time, were always passive and cautious when they were together... enjoying the ambiguity.

Even though both of them know that the other has feelings for them, they are unable to correctly view the degree of affection for each other due to inferiority complex and other reasons. Therefore, the two of them get along with each other in this bland way, just like an old couple who have been married for more than 10 years.

People are always content with the status quo, even ordinary people are no exception. Therefore, when he realizes that he can "safely" enjoy the fun of being with friends and the happiness of being with his lover in this way, he becomes silent, he compromises, and he stagnates.

The same was true for Kadotate Karin. Being able to have both a sense of security and happiness was great news for both of them. So when she learned that Hiranobu was going to ask her out, Karin was surprised and happy, but she couldn't help but worry afterwards.

Does Ping Xin want to confess his feelings to her or to Asuna?

Even though Hirayuko had a stronger affection for her than the (overly) proactive Asuna from the very beginning, she was unaware of this. From her perspective, Asuna was superior to her in every way. While Hirayuko had a crush on her, he felt the same way about Asuna. And with so many beautiful girls around him, could he really fall in love with her?

The more sensitive a person is, the more likely they are to become self-destructive and stagnate. She is one of them, and so is he. Therefore, there is always a need for someone who exists outside the plan, who can break the deadlock at any time and who has a certain influence on them.

"Actually... I just thought of you as my best friend, just like Karin, Akane, and Nel-senpai—"

After hearing this, Ping Xin finally reacted. He was just acting but didn't intend to be a real clown!

"But, but... that day, your clothes were very handsome, and your hair was well-groomed, and you looked... very... in short, very handsome! It's not that I'm not handsome normally! It's just... it's just that when I think about you, such a handsome guy, waiting for someone other than me, my chest feels tight and strange."

Asuna......

"So I ran away at that time, and Karin didn't look for you in order to chase me... So after that, we talked a lot, and I learned a lot of powerful 'knowledge' from Urahana Kazuko. Now I understand -

I think it was then...that I fell in love with you at first sight!"

The naive girl who had never considered Ping Xin as a "person of the opposite sex" before that day fell in love at first sight for the first time. She finally understood what she came to this world to do and to... meet.

The midday sun was a little dazzling and hot, but none of these could compare to the brilliance and warmth of Asuna's smile, which was so...exciting!

"Coffee—I want the bitterest kind!"

"Make one for me too!"

"Me too!"

"Ping Xin, I'm the same—"

What, there are still experts! ?

"I'm afraid of being disliked, afraid of being ignored... I'm afraid of not being able to maintain this relationship. But... but - I can't deceive my heart after all... I like you!"

"After that, we spent a lot of effort to talk to everyone, and after talking to everyone, we found that everyone really likes you, right~?"

"Hmph..." Nilu turned her head away without saying anything, but her red neck spoke for itself. In the battlefield of love, she was just an amateur.

"Yes, I, Zhu Yin, will follow you for the rest of my life, right~?"

"Wow, I, I want to see this!"

"A hundred, a hundred years of happiness!"

"Damn you, I...I wish you all the best!"

That day, all the bitter foods in the school cafeteria were sold out, even the bitter melon left over from cooking was not spared.

Ps: To put it simply,

Asuna, who was out wandering because of her boredom, ran into Karin. Karin, who was frightened by her excitement, anticipation, and longing, confessed her feelings for Hirashin to her friend, hoping to gain peace of mind. Asuna, who had no romantic feelings for Hirashin at the time, decided to accompany her.

Outside the cafe, Asuna used the ripples to strengthen her body. She saw that Hirayukobu looked completely different from his usual reserved and plain appearance (a country girl in disguise). Today, he had a nice haircut and wore a formal suit (which was of good taste, as it was matched by someone else), and she was very moved by the two of them.

Falling in love at first sight, Asuna, realizing that Hiranobu wasn't waiting for her and wasn't dressing up for her, felt a surge of jealousy, sadness, envy, pain, and... love. Having always lived a simple and happy life, she felt this heart-pounding yet agonizing feeling for the first time. She ran away, and Karin chased after her.

Afterwards, the two best friends talked. Asuna, who had calmed down, grew from this conversation and the subsequent thinking (the theme of humans promoting each other through communication). The two talked with Hirayuki all night but could not come to a good conclusion, except for the premise that "everyone likes Hirayuki very much but does not want to be separated from everyone."

After all, it was the first time for them to fall in love with someone. They worried, hesitated, thought, and finally took the first step. At this time, a mysterious woman named Urahana Kazuko appeared and acted as a mentor to them, giving them some inspiration. As for the content... it's hard to say.

Finally, everyone talked together and decided on the ending of the harem.

Well, just like that, the harem was established without the male protagonist knowing anything about it.

Chapter 13: Tiaoyue Liyin, attack!

Last time we talked about how, after Asuna's straightforward confession, the two...five of them started to flirt with each other in public in the classroom, and during the short 2-hour lunch break, they frequently said all kinds of golden sentences. Even though he was dating four girlfriends at the same time, no one questioned him, because for ordinary people with his background, financial resources, good looks, martial arts skills, and such an eloquent mouth, it would not be something that just four people could handle.

But when faced with unreasonable things, someone has to speak up, just like Ping Xin once did.

But today, he is the source of disharmony——

"The Student Union is clearing out! Alright, alright, stop standing here and go wherever you need to go!"

"It's gone, it's gone!"

The student union is clearing the area.

"call--"

Ping Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. In just over an hour, he'd poured out everything he'd learned in his past and present lives. To save face, he'd even had to use up some of his reserve emergency tactics. If he had a choice, he'd definitely think it would be easier to fight 1000 people again!

No matter who comes to help, I will (cross out) this favor...I'll remember it anyway!

"And this guy over here... Daibanchang-san, I've heard a lot about you. I didn't expect you to cause us so much trouble on the first day of school—

Now please come with us."

On the first day of school, I woke up early to make a good impression on the seniors in the student council. I hadn't slept the day before, and I had just dealt with a situation that morning. Then, just as I was about to catch up on some sleep, I was woken up again during my lunch break. After reporting to the student council office, I received an order, so I could only wash my face and rush to deal with it...

In short, the student union members who were very sleepy but couldn’t sleep and couldn’t buy coffee were angry!

"It wasn't my intention to cause a riot...but since it was me who started it, I'll go with you."

"Bon voyage~~"

"...I'll wait for you to come back."

"If you want to play, remember to call me in advance."

"Maid Akane awaits your return, Master~"

Do not--

The only thing I don’t need is you, the black-hearted maid who keeps calling me “Master” and stabbing me in the back outside!

Having said that, a smile naturally appeared on Pingxin's lips, because the feeling of having someone watching over you and waiting for you from behind... is really damn good!

"Please lead the way."

"...please"

Seeing Ping Xin strolling leisurely, even this student union member who had very poor rest quality and was a little irritable couldn't help but calm down. Even if they don't need to make any special moves, the words and deeds of a truly strong person always silently affect everyone around them.

As long as you have seen and felt his aura once, you will naturally understand.

"...Please come in, the president has been waiting for you for a long time--" said a student union member guarding the door.

He wouldn't be surprised if such a scene occurred during an important negotiation or political consultation, but how could this small student union be so... realistic? Clearly divided by class?

Or maybe...cold.

Ping Xin immediately thought of this description in just a few tenths of a second. Although he didn't know why the student union of Shengxiang Middle School's high school department looked like this, he could get the answer just by meeting the "president" there, so he stopped worrying about it.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

Although it was his first time in the school student union, and he was invited here because he caused (twice) riots, Ping Xin did not feel any nervousness, anxiety or any commendable feelings in his heart. After all, compared with what he had experienced along the way, these could be said to be "nothing."

However, this calmness and ease will soon change because of the person in this conference room, the only person sitting there -

......

...

..

It was noon, and the sun was scorching, but inside the student union there was a feeling that forced one to calm down, an aura that made one shiver flowing through the air.

feeling of oppression
