The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

As for how much weight you will gain the next day, that is another matter.

"!"

"Wow, that's amazing! As expected of Hirashin~~!"

"As expected of the master, he secretly prepared this kind of food. How amazing~"

"Where's mine? Where's mine?"

"Brother, I want to eat too. Where's my portion?"

"Okay, everyone has..."

Hirayuko copied and pasted the ingredients in a split second, completing the dish with his prepared ingredients. His speed and technique were so sharp that Kikuri almost doubted he was human. But eating was more important now.

If I could eat such delicious food every day, even if I didn’t drink...it would be worth it if I just drank less alcohol!

*It's impossible not to drink, it's impossible in this life, so I can only barely maintain my life with a few drinks. Heishin's wine is delicious and the food is delicious. I love it here~

......

...

..

"What's wrong? Why are you here so late at night? Are you in a bad mood? Could it be that..."

"..."

Hiroi Kikuri shook her head. After spending the past few hours together, she had already roughly figured out everything about this home, this warm home that did not belong to her.

You are the light that shines into my life, but I am not the only one for you.

Chapter 20 Going to the Orphanage

"Nothing, just... I suddenly want to have a drink——"

"What? It turns out you're just craving for food, you little drunkard."

"Ah ha ha......"

"..."

Some people say that smiling can make you feel better, but now it seems that this may not be true.

"Then let's have a drink--" Ping Xin looked at the profile of Hiroi Kikuri and said seriously.

"Eh, but...what about that 'promise'?"

"Of course I can't break the contract. After all, I'm 'Faith'~"

So dazzling, so dazzling, so...

"But you're still a minor... Because of this, Shima almost beat you up—"

"I know...because I was the one who started it on purpose. After all, time will pass quickly as long as friends play and joke with each other~" Ping Xin answered with a playful smile.

But what is most infuriating is that even with this attitude he looks very handsome, and has a gentleness that transcends age, gender, and even the boundaries between you and me. He is a strange person.

"And rice wine is safe for now. Something with such a ridiculously low alcohol content has basically been banned from the alcohol category. And many parents in Asia let their children try it."

After all, it's hard to get along outside if you can't drink. In this kind of society where relationships are important—

"And if it's just one cup, I'm totally fine with it~"

"In that case...let's have a drink~~~~"

Ah, I don't want to care anymore, I don't want to think so much anymore, I just want to drink now, and drink until I fall asleep, drink until I wake up, drink until I die -

"Here, Demon Slayer liquor... Although we still have a lot of strong liquor at home, it's healthier to drink something with a lower alcohol content during the sobriety period. And it will also make you feel more at ease if you're an 'old friend', right?"

"Well, this is good."

Just like before, there is nothing wrong with going back to the past, it’s just waking up from a dream——

"cheers."

"Then...cheers~~~~"

......

...

..

It seems that no matter in ancient or modern times, people in China or abroad have always regarded alcohol as an effective tool to relieve sorrow. However, for some people, it not only fails to make them forget, but instead reminds them of the unbearable past.

He still remembered that the only time he drank alcohol was on his 30th birthday in his previous life. At that time, he started working on his own and achieved some success. Although there were factors of the times, no one could question the efforts he made.

One day, after completing a big order, he found out that it was his birthday (the day he was picked up), so he held a celebration party + birthday party, although he was the protagonist and the only participant.

That day, he opened the high-end wine someone had given him. Although he couldn't drink it at all and even found it unpalatable, he wanted to drink more and more, until he ended up in the hospital.

He'd sworn off alcohol ever since, and as for cigarettes...strange, when and why did he quit? Life was already pretty monotonous, so how on earth had he managed to survive without smoking, drinking, or having sex?

No matter what, now doesn't seem to be the time to relax, nor the time for him to get drunk——

......

...

..

"I might actually be quite superstitious... Ever since I drew that fortune at the shrine last time, I've been dreaming about the same scene—

I was falling, falling forever, and then I disappeared from this world without a trace."

Just like my parents... Maybe this is the fate of blood.

"..."

Ah, are you asleep already, Kikuri?

After pulling an all-nighter, I used Wave to recover my physical strength, but the mental fatigue was still there. Then I dragged her out for a morning run. She ate well for lunch and dinner, but she also worked hard in the afternoon training. She felt like a pro, after all.

"...I always feel like it's strange. Whether it's you, me, or this world—"

If his abstention from alcohol and cigarettes stems from the trauma of nearly dying in his past life, then why did he quit smoking in his past life? Could this be closely related to how he died? It's completely confusing...

"No matter what, let's deal with the current situation and let the rest...take care of itself. Isn't that right, Kikuri?"

"..."

"Come on, I'll take you inside. The balcony is still too cold this season. Sleeping here is no joke. Maybe it will be nice in the summer—"

Ping Xin picked her up, and their heartbeats intertwined—

Summer... How can I still have the nerve to stay here until summer? In this home that doesn't belong to me?

"Of course."

"!..."

"If you want to come, I'm always welcome. After all, Kikuri is really cute... and very interesting."

You are so cunning. You say such things, but what are you thinking in your heart?

Anyway, sleep on——

Then pray that everything goes well tomorrow.

......

...

..

"...Ping Xin?"

"Good morning, it's time to get up again."

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found Ping Xin in front of her again, but this time she was not so surprised.

"Ha~~~~...What are we going to do today? Morning jog too?"

"Well... but there are some slight differences. Specifically, we're removing spirits today."

"Exorcism, exorcism is good..."

Wait a minute, what did you say, exorcism?

"Ahaha, maybe I drank too much, my head is a little weird...why don't you say it again?"

"Well, we're going to your house to exorcise the ghosts and move at the same time."

Hmm...why did things turn out like this?

"Anyway, go wash up first, breakfast will be ready soon."

"Great~~"

No matter what, every meal time here is worth looking forward to, it will not disappoint your tongue or stomach~

......

...

..

"So... does that mean the exorcism was successful?"

"That should be considered right?"

After all, no matter what it was, his sheriff (the little black cat) smashed it to pieces with one claw. Sure enough, the black cat still has something to say in this regard. Although this bit of Yin Qi is not a big deal, it is just a piece of cake to die early and be reborn early.

...or is it just a piece of cake?

"If you move, do you have anything to take with you?"

"Hmm...ah—this one then."

Hiroi Kikuri walked into the small house, without rummaging through boxes or thinking hard, she just took away a cup that looked relatively clean.

After all, she used to be quite introverted, so she didn't have any valuable gifts or souvenirs like photo albums that could make people reminisce about the past. Apart from Beth's maintenance products, the most valuable thing here for her was probably this cup.

When she started drinking for her performance, she drank three glasses from this cup. The performance was a huge success and she kept it at home as a talisman.

"Well, let's go then."

"Then?"

Kikuri casually stuffed the wine glass into her pocket.

"According to the plan, it's the orphanage. Do you want to go?"

"Ah... well, I just wonder if I'll still be adopted at my age."

My first reaction was to bring myself to "that side", a puppy?

"Well, of course, there's one right here~"

Chapter 4000: Stop laughing at my bro, she's great too ()

"We're here, come on down... leave the cup in the car first, it would be bad if it gets broken."

"Okay~...but what are we doing here?"

"Well.. Anyway, it's not what you think. I like bigger ones."

Haha, I can see that.

Hiroi Kikuri thought of the four girlfriends in Hiranobu's family...it's still very dangerous.

"Then let me correct you...at least your age is not younger than mine. As for me...I actually like someone a little older than me. Remember to keep it a secret for me, otherwise it will be troublesome if it gets out. So far, I have only told you~"

“Eh…ah—”

Does this mean...

"Come on, don't just stand there in a daze. Or...would it be better if I carried you? And don't let yourself be led around by the nose once you get in. They're not just ordinary kids."
