The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"So, as the largest shareholder, I'll sponsor everyone to set up a water stall today. After all, the demand for drinks at the Spicy Food Festival is definitely outstripping supply—"

"Selling water, the demand exceeds the supply, making a lot of money~"

"Of course, if they can't sell it, they'll owe me money. After all, based on the investment ratio... Anyway, if they can't sell it, they'll just be stuck with it. So, everyone in Tokyo who can afford it, come buy it~"

"Hey, do you want to pay it back?"

Ping Xin winked playfully...though he didn't know how anyone could tell he was wearing a mask—

"Shh...don't tell them."

Tou made an OK sign.

"Speaking of which, Toru's birthday passed a few days ago. I look forward to celebrating with my fans next year."

"Celebrate together~"

Does Toru like repeating too much today?

...Could it be that he discovered the true nature of humanity!?

"Then, the next one——"

Chapter 52 Higuchi Enka, a mother

"Then the last one of Noctchill...Dangdang-!"

"...I'm Higuchi Enka, please give me your guidance~"

A large face wearing a hood appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room. It looked at the camera and then at Enka, and finally jumped back and forth between the two.

"...Excuse me, is there something wrong, Mr. Producer?"

When she called the producer, Pingxin could faintly feel her teeth gritting, as if she was reminding him of something, but sorry, I couldn't hear clearly with the mask on~

When the number of question marks in the live broadcast room gradually increased, Ping Xin stopped his confusing behavior and said in an excited tone: "Hey, everyone in the live broadcast room, I feel like I have never loved you so much as I do now!"

Well, there are even more question marks. After all, this guy even works as a part-time translator and says the same thing several times.

"Fukumaru Koito is the most serious and hardworking of the four, Ichikawa Hina always livens up the atmosphere and brings joy and energy, and Asakura Toru always points the way and brings goals and hope...

Then there's this person who often points fingers at me privately and tells me to stay away from her friends. The strongest AT position that emerges from the combination of coldness and rationality - Higuchi Enka!

"...Did you use too many modifiers for me?"

This person actually sabotaged his own idol during a live broadcast. Is there any producer like this in the world?!

Is it in this river?

This is unreasonable!

Enka, with a shaky mask of perfect smile, approached step by step, while Hirashin calmly picked up the phone from the shelf and kept making sure she was in the center of the camera.

"Great... In ancient times, Prime Minister Cao used the emperor to control the princes, and now I use my fans to protect myself from Xiang - Mina-san in the live broadcast room, I love you so much~"

A series of question mark storms flew by, and a large number of eye-catching messages in blue, green and even red were posted, but the content was basically question marks or simply the "friendly language" of various countries that was not universally used.

"I need to hold my phone in one hand to broadcast live, while confronting Enka, and I will be invincible in the world!"

"..."

Without saying a word, but with the speed of their feet, the two continued their endless duet at twice the speed as before.

"I always feel like I'm playing some kind of horror game, my dear friends, because there are always monsters like this in the game...ah, don't hit me in the face--!"

After a series of shrill screams, Ping Xin, who had just scared Enka and the others by imitating Teacher Tom, limped into the live broadcast room and bowed in apology, as if he had just been taught a lesson.

But in fact, this guy is having a lot of fun doing dubbing himself.

“…Tsk!”

This guy actually used this trick! ?

Although idols shouldn't make such noises, Ping Xin's move really leaves people powerless, so they can only let it go.

"Okay, let's restart the show... Please introduce yourself, Ms. Higuchi."

"...Hello everyone, I'm Higuchi Enka."

Although it looked no different from before, everyone in the live broadcast room must have more or less "understood" the meaning behind her smile -

Don’t dare to say anything nonsense!

"Okay, then this is the last member of Noctchill, Ms. Higuchi Enka."

Ping Xin led the applause, and from time to time he could hear the sound of him gasping for breath. His acting was really complete.

But the next second, he suddenly changed the subject: "Higuchi Enka, she's a mother."

The popularity of the live broadcast room, which had just begun to decline, suddenly exploded, and comments such as "Accident", "Mom's idol?", "Captain, when are you coming?" densely covered the screen.

Of course, the most popular one is the principle of simplicity and returning to the basics.

Especially the gloomy Higuchi Enka in the center of the picture, and the three friends beside her turned around and looked stunned... In short, there were also surprised passers-by, the cook, the maid, etc.

In short, it is very effective and feels great~

"Ahem... As for Enka, as I said earlier, she often plays the role of calmly analyzing the pros and cons and helping everyone better understand the facts. She's like a brake."

Ordinary letters' explanations, which seemed like diverting the subject, did not improve the situation at all, and the number of question marks in the live broadcast room increased significantly.

"Although in private most of the time she always has a blank expression, as if nothing matters, she is actually a very sentimental girl——

Hiss~~~~...Ah...I don't know if you all feel it, but at least I feel it deeply."

Ping Xin's gasp of shock resounded throughout the live broadcast room. Isn't this guy too dramatic?

"Even though you may not understand it now, you'll understand why I call Enka my mother later... If you have to take care of a lazy, all-natural, pretty dad who thinks he's lost in thought but is actually just daydreaming, and who often forgets his wallet when he goes out—"

Hirashin pointed at Asakura Toru, who was standing aside, wondering what he was thinking.

"...Eh, me?"

After being pointed out, Toru pointed at herself in surprise... Putting aside other things, just this face is enough to qualify, and as a Takarazuka-style (neutral beauty), she is popular with both men and women!

"She's always full of energy, but she's always like that no matter where she is. She's always late for class, the first one to run away after practice, and always wants a good meal as a reward after work, which is her willful eldest daughter."

Hirashin pointed at Ichikawa Hina.

"Aha~? Are you talking about Hina~? Yeah~!"

Far from feeling dissed, Hinana even happily greeted the live camera. After all, there was nothing wrong with what Hirayuma said, and no matter how willful she was, there was a producer who would tolerate her.

"Hardworking and driven, she's the most dedicated at both work and school. However, she's often led astray by her obviously dysfunctional [father (Toru)] and [older sister (Hina),] forcing her to chase after them every day. This adorable yet pitiful little daughter...!"

Hirashin pointed at Fukumaru Koito.

"Shh~!...It's not that good~"

She was taken aback at first, but was quite happy to be praised by Heishin.

"And finally, there's Higuchi Enka... She'll help pay when Toru forgets his wallet. Even though she says she'll get it back later, she still lets the gigolo go sometimes."

Toru scratched his face.

"She's not pretending to be stupid, she's being genuinely stupid. She's the one who complains about Hina the most every day!"

Hinana is making a "V" sign with both hands. This pose is not very good...

"You say you want to study, but in reality, you're just feeding Koito during study sessions at the family restaurant. If that's not love—!"

Koito nodded, the good boy testifying to the matter.

"Now, is there any problem with me saying, 'Higuchi Enka is a mother'?"

Ping Xin pointed at the live camera.

"Those who understand can put [Yuka Mama] on the big screen!"

???

Madoka Higuchi

Chapter 53: Asashinai, Enchan~

"Hiss~... So, Master Higuchi, do you have any wishes?"

Ping Xin grinned and gasped under the hood, looking like a little thief who was severely beaten by the heroine and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

"desire?"

"Akira!... Anyway, goals, future aspirations, that sort of thing... do you have any?"

Having lost his Errenzhuan skills and been forced to leave the country to face Enka, Hiranobu cowered. One look at her and he knew she was definitely still angry.

"Ah, there is, right? As expected of Master Higuchi!"

There should be a lot of barrages flying by at this moment, but unfortunately Ping Xin can't see anything. After all, he has not undergone any cyber transformation on himself, and his stand is pretending to be dead and has no intention of responding to the summons.

"...I don't have any special plans, but since I'm doing this, I definitely want to do it well."

Now I say that this was all Hirashin's plan, so that Enka doesn't have to deliberately maintain her image in front of the camera, and deliberately rationalize this small interaction, do you believe it?

Well, 1000% emotion, no acting at all!

This time, she didn't pretend at all, and with a dark face, she kicked Ping Xin directly -

"ah--------------!"

Ping Xin flew into the air like a cyber NPC whose Shenbi bug had been triggered, turned two and a half times, and then landed on his face. After twitching twice, he lay motionless.

Newton would have doubted his life after watching it, not to mention the people present and the audience in the live broadcast room who couldn't see clearly.

After a few seconds, even the shark killer Higuchi Enka, who was sitting in the seat next to her, began to wonder if she had triggered some strange mechanism, but she was also one of the people who believed most that Hirayuko's evil legacy would last for thousands of years.

Finally, before anyone wanted to call the police, Ping Xin's "corpse" on the ground suddenly jumped up from the ground without relying on its limbs, like a salted fish that had come back to life, and then sat on the chair in a strange posture that was completely supported by the skeleton without any sign of muscle strength.

"I don't accept it~ I feel so wronged~"

Although Ping Xin's mask provides complete protection without blind spots, he has no protection for his neck, Adam's apple and other parts. Because of this, everyone can see that he is not speaking with his throat.

“…I see.”

Higuchi Enka smiled instead. After all, this guy was already weird enough when he was talking while eating. Is there anything to be surprised about now?

Simply ignoring him won't work. Joining him in the fun will not only make people feel stupid but will also follow Hiranobu's wishes, which will make Enka unhappy, so that's not a good idea either.

So she just agreed casually, and anyone could think that she was not taking it seriously at all.

"I don't agree. Enka is so gentle, considerate, and attentive to her childhood friends. She even smiles at the staff she just met for the first time and doesn't know if she will work with them again. But she always treats me with such disdain.

Although it’s very sweet... and although it’s part of my job to bear your willfulness, I still want to be treated gently by Enka~”

"That's right."

Higuchi Enka was unmoved. As long as her heart was calm, no one could hurt her.

"You clearly didn't care about idols back then, you could even say you looked down on this profession. But now you're actually taking the initiative to comfort idols from other companies, even though you're clearly competitors~"

Asakura Toru looked over.

"Even though you say idol work is unimportant, I always see you secretly practicing in the training room. What if your voice that can produce beautiful sounds is ruined~"

Ichikawa Hina covered her mouth in surprise.

"He always acts cold and indifferent, but he's actually incredibly gentle with his fans. He'll take photos with female fans and even write encouraging words on his autographs for them. He's truly awesome, En-chan~"

Koito smiled happily.

"Enka, Enka, I'm the one who supports you, encourages you, and is your number one fan. I love your gentleness, but I also hate your gentleness, because your gentleness is never reserved for me~

Ah~~~~~yen~..."

“…Is that so—”

Seeing that this person was getting more and more outrageous, and was about to start singing without even reciting poetry, Enka immediately kicked him with a second kick, dealing true damage and sending him away happily -

Kicking your life away is also called interrupting a spell!
