The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"You're already grown up, and you still want to play this kind of game? Why not just say no?"

Higuchi Enka is still in the same posture, with her hands grabbing her arms.

"Well... but I prefer something more interesting. Besides, shouldn't Ms. Higuchi apologize to me before asking for help? After all, you said 'Don't come to me anymore' before, and I was sad for a long time, wuwuwu~" Ping Xin pretended to wipe away tears, but after looking up, he found that it didn't work, so he simply changed to a grin.

What is this...thinking yourself as a majestic lion that can scare people to death with just one word?

Anyway, she couldn't feel that kind of majesty and power, but it was indeed her fault first. If it was simply a matter of not explaining it clearly, it would be fine, but she did have half the intention of never seeing him again at that time, but now she wanted to find him to help, even if she...

That's probably it, so it's quite "reasonable" and doesn't count as her being fawning or having a crush on someone.

"3,2......"

Hearing Enka's initiative to count down, Hirayuko also smiled and continued -

"...1." x2

"School bullying!"

"We're in love."

Two voices, one big and one small, one light and one heavy, one male and one female, sounded at the same time, but the content of their words was not as tacit as the timing.

"...Why do you think it's over there?" x2

It's just that at this moment, they suddenly have a tacit understanding. They are really two very subtle people, and can even be said to be completely opposite -

"Then let me start by saying... ahem, first of all, I think school bullying can be roughly divided into three causes.

First, she has unique flaws or strengths. The cuteness, petite figure, and excellent academic performance you mentioned probably all qualify. Second, she's a loner. If that's the case, then she must be quite shy. In fact, in any country or class, people who are left alone are easily bullied... Third, she might have gotten into a conflict. You just said she's honest, hardworking, and motivated, and you haven't been going to the cram school or study sessions she usually attends lately, right? If that's the case, she's probably not someone who gives up easily. So, the most likely scenario is that she got into a conflict with someone.

"..."

Makes sense.

Although it seemed chaotic, what he said was indeed logical, and he had obviously thought about it carefully, and then deduced a possibility from the clues she gave.

"Right?"

Pingxin took another sip of his matcha latte and added two more sugar cubes. Logically, he should have struck while the iron was hot and gained some favor, but for him, that wasn't the most important thing at the moment. It wasn't that he had a severe sweet tooth, but he was thinking about what he would do if something like this happened to Koito.

Anyway, next time if you have time, let her learn some self-defense skills!

Chapter 28 Yes, Your Majesty

"Now it's your turn. Why do you feel like you've found a boyfriend, Ms. Higuchi?"

"Why?... This is just my wild guess."

"That's it-"

You're definitely lying... Because if it really wasn't anything, you'd definitely turn around and mock me, or just come up with an excuse like "I recently watched a TV show like this." Because you're not the type to make random guesses, and if it were just random guesses, you wouldn't have come all the way to ask me out—

Could this be "putting oneself in others' shoes"? If so, wouldn't that mean she's really thinking about me...

"Well, let's just leave it at that..." Ping Xin took another sip of the matcha latte. Faced with this question, he chose to cover his mouth, and then his brows instantly frowned.

If the meaningful and somewhat mean smile just now made her feel a little uncomfortable, then the frowning expression that she had never seen before made her feel a little uneasy, for no reason.

"...What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. It seems a little sweet now... I feel like it's going to make me sick."

"..."

I thought it was a brilliant detective who had found a new clue, but it turned out to be just another attack, a false alarm. But with all the sugar in sweet drinks, it's hard not to get sick with that kind of eating habit, right?

How should I put it? I suddenly feel a little worried... After all, Koito also likes to eat sweets, so she shouldn't have eaten too much, right?

"...That's all for today. Thank you for your assistance. I'll be leaving now."

"Wait, wait, the outcome of this matter hasn't been decided yet, right? And...if something really happens, what are you going to do? Whether it's being bullied at the cram school, getting a boyfriend, or getting a boyfriend after a fight with the people at the cram school, these three don't seem to be problems you can solve, right?"

Hirashin stretched out his hand but was dodged. However, Higuchi Enka, who was running backwards, lost her balance because of this action and sat down, and ended up leaning on the sofa seat in Yuzawa Cafe.

Well, just as planned.

"...Then, what should I do?"

Ping Xin didn't answer, but just smiled brightly and opened his arms.

"Excuse me, can you lend me a hand..."

"Oh, okay... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

“…Heh~”

Daily Task: Beautiful Woman Smiles (1/1)

"You're really pretty. It would be nice if you could smile more often... Well, just because of that smile, I'll help you. If you have any difficulties, just come to me. I'm the right person." Ping Xin picked up the coffee cup again but didn't say anything.

If you consume too much sugar when you are so happy, you will really get sick if you take one bite.

"...Thank you for your concern. Next time I will be careful not to laugh—"

Haha, rebellious girl, this is not the first time I’ve seen such a rebellious girl.

"So... what are the details?"

"Specifically... whether you want to stage a havoc in heaven or go in and out seven times in the private school, whether you want to break the axle of the wedding car or the legs of a scumbag, I will be by your side—

All as you wish, Your Majesty."

"...What's going on?"

On the surface, you appear calm and even want to look up a dictionary, but this feeling of disgust tells me that you definitely know -

"As you wish, my queen."

The voice was not loud, but it successfully attracted the attention of people around to see who was making such a big deal.

"Ahem... Anyway, let's go home and check if she has any injuries or marks. Let me know if there's any news. I'm leaving now."

Even if you can let go at home when acting, it is hard to hold back in front of strangers. You are fragile, petty, and have a little idol baggage. In short, you will be in a hurry.

“…I know it clearly.”

He clearly knew I knew, yet he still forced himself to play this game. He could have just played dumb like before, so he really was...

Ugh--

childish.

Realizing that she was still being secretly observed, Higuchi Enka could no longer sit still. After drinking the last of her drink, she planned to pay the bill and leave.

"Ah, this table has already been paid. Please take care, Miss Higuchi~"

"...Thank you. Your coffee and desserts are delicious too."

"Really?...Hehe, thank you so much, welcome to come again next time--" Tsugumi Hanezawa smiled.

"..."

Just like he said, he is a serious and hardworking child... And he is also very happy when he is praised. Is this a common trait of hard-working people?

Regardless, he was absolutely right about one thing: we need to at least confirm the situation further...

Buzz~buzz~

"...'If it's convenient, inviting you to a sleepover would be a good idea' or something like that—"

This person was too considerate, so warmhearted that it made her feel like he had ulterior motives. Did such a kind person really exist in the world? No, even if there were, the chances of her actually meeting him were close to zero...

No, it seemed like he had "evil intentions" from the beginning, and was almost deceived -

"He's a cunning man indeed... He can't let his guard down for even a moment."

With a sigh, Enka put her phone back in her pocket and headed towards another shopping street. Since she was already here, she might as well pick up some groceries for the family.

......

...

..

"So what you're saying is that that woman suddenly invited you to her house alone, and even suggested taking a bath and sleeping together?"

Ping Xin frowned slightly, realizing that things weren't simple. What else could have caused such a cold, troublesome, and annoying woman to suddenly become so passionate?

Female ketone is actually beside me!

"Well, that's not the case... It doesn't seem to make any difference, but Enka-chan seems to be hiding something from us. When I asked her, she just said it was nothing. I'm a little worried."

"Okay, you're so worried about your friend, as expected of Koito, that's really impressive~"

"Hey... hey hey~"

As easy to fool as ever, a pat on the head made Fukumaru Koito temporarily put aside his previous worries.

It's just that sometimes the truth of things may not be so friendly. I'm afraid the truth is probably like this -

"Guhehe, when Koito transfers in and becomes a junior, it will be the standard start of a harem light novel, hahahaha——"

"Tōru-senpai, I like you too~"

"Ahaha, come on everyone, there are three of me too!"

"...No, I can't let this happen. But it's already been decided that Koito will go to school here, so if that's the case, I'll have to do it myself—"

Because Koito can be my mother (crossed out)...but she is the woman I love the most! "

......

...

..

"...What a great ceremony for the six kingdoms to appoint prime ministers."

I don't know if Tou-kun's head will be snapped off. After all, he has been very popular among girls since he was a child, and he would even be dragged to the bathroom with them. What is he like now?

"Ping-Ping Xin-ge?"

"No, nothing much... Anyway, if you have time, let's go exercise together. We can also learn some self-defense techniques."

"Eh!..Although I'm very happy——"

but why?

Chapter 29: The earliest contestant to prepare for Valentine's Day

"Hey, girls and girls—have you noticed anything different about me lately?"

At the study meeting after the monthly exam, Ping Xin appeared in the spacewalk, and at first glance he looked like an old astronaut.

"Hmm...are you talking more?"

"His expressions are also more...richer!"

“I’m skipping classes more often.”

“I’m not at home anymore.”

"Hmm... my craftsmanship has gotten better too."

The jelly brought to him was devoured in seconds, leaving him alone in the corner, drawing circles. Life is already so difficult, why bother spouting such nonsense?

"But Hirashin has been happier lately, so I think he's become more attractive too~"

"Sister Asuna, you spoil him too much..."

After receiving a letter of support from his girlfriend, he slid down to his knees 10 meters on the smooth marble floor. At the same time, the classic song "We Are the Champions" started playing... Is this the only place you use your ventriloquism besides talking while eating?!

Although it's true that he's become more lively and cheerful than before, when I think about how I used to regard such a person as a "model of maturity" and a goal to pursue, I feel so stupid.

"Waaaaa, what's wrong, Ran-chan? Why are you suddenly banging your head on the table? Didn't you eat enough just now?"

After more than ten seconds of frantic pounding, Mei Zhulan finally stopped, and she was actually led astray again...
