The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

Hinana didn't care what her responsibilities were; she just needed to put in the appropriate effort. She wasn't concerned with the tasks, but rather the fun she'd have along the way. After all, this arrangement was a bit novel.

"What is it? We are going to perform."

Asakura Toru is even more of a heavyweight. I'd forgotten everything I'd heard about her by the time school was over at noon. Sometimes, her carefree and carefree nature is truly enviable. If everyone could be so open-minded, society would surely be much calmer.

"Wedding...Who will wear the wedding dress?"

Enka even closed her eyes, as if to say, "I don't want to see anything." A middle school sports meet, including performances during the relay race, and recruiting the popular idol group noctchill for a performance, is fine, but what does it mean to wear a wedding dress?

It’s really hard not to suspect that someone has taken the money and hasn’t distributed it to them yet!

After Enka asked this question, she accidentally met Toru's eyes. Koito was observing from the dark but couldn't tell what was happening, while Hinana looked at everyone with a grin on her face.

Because no matter who wears it, it will be fun to laugh at it in the end!

......

...

..

"Wedding dress...is it really okay?" "...What do you mean?" Enka asked back while stretching her body to check whether the clothes would hinder her movements.

Yuuka was "unfortunate" enough to overcome all obstacles and successfully win the right to run the relay race in a wedding dress.

Even ordinary people standing by would wonder what kind of person would want someone to run in a wedding dress with the hem of her skirt lifted at a sports meet.

Good news: The organization is very pure, the wedding dress is a homemade costume and no money was charged

Bad news: It seems that there really is someone who is not normal. Could it be an alien who has infiltrated the human population?

The Home Economics student nearby asked hesitantly, "Ah...um... Higuchi-san, wouldn't you want to save it for an important day?"

"Ahh (sound of understanding)... It's okay, thank you for your concern."

Knowing that this strange classmate took her sour face (expressionless look) as dissatisfaction, Enka, understanding the other party's good intentions, also smiled back.

Because someone kept saying things like "increase attack speed" and "increase critical hits," Enka had tried on many different kinds of clothing, even things that couldn't really be called clothing. So even when she put on the simple wedding dress the girl in front of her had made, she felt completely unmoved.

But even that man never dressed her in a Western-style wedding gown, a white wedding dress, or a phoenix crown. Judging from his cautious personality, he was probably considering her feelings, or was he simply paying attention to the sense of ceremony?

Enka didn't know what Hirayuko was thinking, but she believed that what was important was always the person, not those dispensable clothes.

"The costumes were made by the Home Economics Department, right? ...They're very beautiful."

"Yes! This white rose made of cloth is also a handmade amulet we made. Its flower language is [Keep your promise]!"

"......I see--"

Keep the promise...ah...

Will you come back as promised this time?

Enka didn't want to worry Hiranobu, who might be watching them from somewhere, but she couldn't stop missing him. Ren is such a contradictory creature.

The female students from the Home Economics Department excitedly talked about a lot of things, such as the design concept of the clothes, which classic style was used as a sample, and how much thought the Home Economics Department put into it.

Speaking of which, someone is like this too. Once talking about something he likes, he will talk a lot like this, and the whole time he will carefully observe her expression, completely losing his usual boldness and frankness.

"...Heh~"

time to go.

[Having many friends doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good, and being married doesn’t necessarily mean happiness—]

[...So, what's important?]

......

...

..

“It feels like a real wedding…!”

"Getting married~ It's hard to imagine Enka-senpai getting married~"

Perhaps she'll still have the same aloof expression at the wedding? Perhaps she'll be like that in the bridal chamber, too? If that's the case, then her husband is probably a masochist, right?

On the surface, Hinana is likely to end up lonely and regretful for the rest of her life with Hei Pi Enka, but in fact, she is already making up Enka's little essay in her heart. It is hard to imagine whether they will laugh at each other and roll their eyes together after they become sisters.

"...I agree." Even Enka herself expressed her agreement.

Before meeting that man, Enka herself had never thought about these things. Or perhaps she had always been avoiding change, trying to let herself go with the flow and just hope that her peaceful life could last as long as possible. Unfortunately, a certain man never acted according to her will in this regard, just like the arrangements for the sports meeting before her eyes.

"The fourteenth event is the club relay race. The athletics team prides itself on its physical strength, while the cultural team, full of individuality, race for victory with all your might!"

As the starting gun sounded, the students on both sides of the track and in the stands cheered loudly. Many people looked at Enka and the other three in surprise, whispering to each other.

This is no wonder, after all, the four people wearing a white hollow wedding dress (Enka), a gray suit (Toru), and bridesmaids in simple white dresses (Hina, Koito) were standing so clearly in the center of the crowd, near the last leg of the race.

Tou, who was standing at the end of the four people and wearing a full suit with a vest, was sweating profusely. The sweat flowed down her forehead, which was obviously exposed after she had recombed her hair. Her natural beauty that was regardless of gender once again won everyone's attention.

Koito and Hina standing on the left and right sides also have their own merits. The petite and cute Koito changed her hairstyle to a mature ponytail today. The little white dress showed her childish side while also highlighting more femininity than usual.

Hinana's style is more mature and the skirt is longer, showing off her proud figure and advanced development. Her sunny and energetic temperament is also a good plus.

But today's star wasn't them, but Enka, wearing lace-trimmed gloves and a veil draped behind her head. As a practical and competitive person, she certainly wouldn't let herself down at a moment like this. Her fighting spirit was as strong and beautiful as her appearance, and she quickly assumed a starting position to receive the baton.

As the red baton was passed to her, Enka rushed out immediately!

Under her direction, Toru, who was responsible for dragging the back of the wedding dress, and Hina and Koito, who were holding the transparent decorative layers of the wedding dress on both sides, all adjusted their rhythm. The four of them made full use of the physical strength and chemistry cultivated in idol activities, and beautifully defeated the representative of the sports department to win the final victory.

"Is this true? You can run so fast while wearing a wedding dress and following someone?!"

Pingxin: How can a wedding dress be such an inconvenient thing!

......

...

..

"After marriage, everyone goes their separate ways. Even if things turn out that way someday..."

Will it really turn out like that?

Thinking of the four people who were caught in one fell swoop (C&C), and the four people who are about to be caught in one fell swoop (the ending band), Higuchi Enka felt speechless and annoyed for the first time in a long time... in short, nameless anger.

Enka, who had just changed her clothes, felt that she was thinking about some useless questions and gave up thinking——

I am worried that the four of them will separate because they each have a lover and a family, but I am also worried that they will become a "family" and never separate. It turns out that human beings are always contradictory.

"Hey, can we fall in love?"

It's embarrassing to say that Toru Asakura almost retired on the spot because idols are not allowed to have romantic relationships. After all, the reason why she entered the industry in the first place was to chase men, so it doesn't seem strange, right?

"That's not possible...at least on the surface. In reality, from underground idols to regular company idols, there are definitely many people who are secretly in love. And this is especially true for voice actors who work as idols. There's a reason why so many of them go missing around Christmas."

If fans didn't know that Christmas is Producer X's (Ping Xin) birthday, maybe their official underground account would also start making noises on a day like Christmas.

"Hey, no one cares?"

"After all, this is the modern era. Even traditional idols have romances, let alone now? You could even say it's a fact that everyone accepts - according to 'him', as long as they're not caught, it's not a crime."

"Haha, that really sounds like something he would say~"

Then the two of them were silent for a while, and then they thought tacitly what they would say if it was an ordinary letter and it was discovered?

"...I'll probably blame everything on rock."

"Hmm...Rock, that's really convenient."

Their eyes met and then separated, and Enka and Toru laughed at the same time.

Chapter 96: Believe

After wandering around outside as usual, "Ping Xin" returned to his home. With the past few months of observing (spying) on ​​him, his self-awareness became clearer and clearer.

Now, apart from the fact that he still didn't know why he was still here when he should have gone out to do something important, he had figured out most of the other things. In fact, he spent most of his time sorting out the complicated and strange interpersonal relationships.

It’s just that the world is so complicated that after one question is solved, more questions often pop up, such as -

"Why did you want to start a harem for him in the first place, Asuna? He's probably having a great time somewhere out there right now and has forgotten about us!"

Meganelle always speaks her mind and directly expresses her dissatisfaction, but if you trace the root of the problem, it is actually because she blames herself for not being able to help, and ultimately this pressure can only explode in some form.

"Eh, but if we can only choose one person, then Nero-senpai won't have any chance at all, right~?"

"Well......"

Natural personality + super high school level luck = critical damage, Asuna just said a word and Nel was injured. Anyone can see that the man actually prefers plump types, and Nel can't be said to have no "flesh" and can only be said to be a complete child's body!

Ping Xin was also curious. He thought he was a pure love fan. In his previous life, when he read novels and watched anime, he also hated the meaningless forced ambiguity and superficial harem. He believed that if you love someone, you should give her the best, including love.

No, maybe I only wanted to choose one at the beginning——

Because Ping Xin used to think that as long as there was just one person who could accept the real me, it would be enough. If someone could become the touch of color that pierced the world when his life was dark, he would definitely love them until the end. But what happened here?

Could it be that the cadres failed the test and were successfully corrupted by the sweet life in the other world?

He thought about it and thought that this might be the truth. After all, not being bound to anyone meant that he still had the freedom to choose.

You can enjoy Asuna's enthusiastic and proactive hugs, Karin's cute shy expression when being teased, teasing Akane about eating too much recently and then being forced to "exercise" by her, playing games with Nero and enjoying the little fun of "bro, you smell so good"...

Doesn't seem... strange?

But even though a harem has thousands of charms and benefits for a man, for a woman who loves him, a harem is the worst way of getting along with her because it will take away her love.

Well, even if it's double, you'll be cheated twice——

So why?

Hirashin looked at Asuna sitting on the sofa with curiosity.

The latter seemed to be thinking, but soon gave up and spoke directly: "I don't know why, when I first saw Ping Xin, I felt that he was really lonely~ Such a lonely person.

The second time I saw him, I somehow made up my mind to bring him happiness and joy, and never let Pingxin be alone again... Hey, why again? "

No, this is your memory, Asuna. Why are you asking others?

However, the current "Ping Xin" may know the reason, because some things will be engraved in the soul even if the memory is lost and the body is gone, just like the bond and love between them.

"Besides... Ping Xin is the type who worries a lot and can't let go of anyone. Hmm... he's the type of slow-witted guy you see in romantic comedies, but he's just pretending!"

【...】

Can't refute!

If things really turn out like that, then "Pingxin" thinks that he will most likely pretend to be stupid to maintain the relationship, and will not make a choice until someone comes up with a straight A and there is no way out. He is an old Tai Chi practitioner!

"So you're helping him jump to the conclusion so he doesn't have to make any choices? Maybe Asuna is the smartest one among us~"

"Hum~"

Hearing Akane's approval, Asuna puffed out her chest proudly... Hmm, she's not wearing anything?

What a rough time!

Who can stand this?

"Pingxin" suddenly began to understand himself.

Defame the scumbag, understand the ordinary people, and be yourself!

"I think... although it would be happy to have the person you like all to yourself, it is not a good thing to take away someone else's lover." In the end, even Karin, who was reading and studying at the side, gave her own opinion. She was also the first person to agree to Asuna's harem plan. Isn't she too kind?

"Humph, it's nothing more than wanting happiness for yourself and everyone else. What's wrong with being greedy?"

When it comes to love, both men and women become greedy monsters, eager to get everything from their partner. Neloo also prefers to just go all out with him, rather than a fruitless tug-of-war that lasts for years!

"Of course, Ping Xin's happiness must also be obtained~!"

Asuna concluded the topic with a single sentence, while "Hirashin" beside her fell into deep thought, but then immediately woke up.

My happiness and theirs have never been in opposition, so there is no one-sided sacrifice and redemption. Instead, we should move forward hand in hand and share the responsibility!

Just like the relationship between a teacher and a student, both parties will gain something from this relationship, and a bright future cannot be achieved without either party!

After realizing this truth, Ping Xin's body gradually turned into light particles and dissipated from the edge. At the moment when he understood everything, he finally returned.

"What the hell? I've chosen to escape again because of the pain and confusion of maintaining the status quo. A little bit of my true spirit has returned from that universe to this [home] where I feel most at ease."

It's really lame...

The self-mockery that he couldn't say out loud dissipated in the wind, and the next second Ping Xin, who was far away in the Halo world, opened his eyes again.
