Why are there only loser heroines around me?

"Hmm...hmm...very, well!" Xiaoju rarely took the initiative to speak, and actually agreed with Yuezhimu's evaluation of Ukyo's figure.

The oldest woman in the supernatural club was wearing a black lace one-piece swimsuit.

Ukyo stayed on her for a while. To be honest, Tsukinoki's skin was not as fair as Yanami's, and her figure was also a level worse. In addition, Yanami had undergone her own special training, so her figure was outstanding. Lemon, who was also in the track and field club, was better than Yanami in terms of abdominal muscle lines, but her breast size was much inferior to Yanami.

Yanami, with a popsicle in his mouth, has been observing Ukyo.

She tried to find out his comments on the girls' swimsuits from the "time of gaze lingering", but was greatly disappointed. It seemed that no one could arouse Ukyo's interest. He just lingered on them for a moment and then looked away.

Yanami had wondered what kind of girl would be worthy of Ukyo. He was rich, generous, handsome, a skilled fighter but never a bully, had impeccable academics, had hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, and had founded his own detective agency at such a young age... Among his peers, there was no one better, right?

Perhaps she should have thought about what kind of girl Ukyo liked, rather than what kind of girl was worthy of Ukyo. Because Yanami felt that there might not be anyone of the same age who could match Ukyo.

"Aren't you going into the water?" Ukyo pointed at Yuezhimu and Lemon who were already splashing water on each other on the shore. They got water guns from somewhere and were attacking each other.

Seeing Yana's expression stiffen, she heard Ukyo say, "Are you afraid that your bikini will be washed off by the waves?"

Oops....

Yanami put her arms around her chest, feeling as if someone was watching her.

"How...how did you know that?"

"Observe your micro-expressions," Ukyo said. "You usually try to hide your little thoughts, but generally speaking, your methods aren't very sophisticated. Others can still get some information from observing your demeanor and movements. For example, other people who come to the beach just play in the water, not to mention Xiaoju's social anxiety. But you, Yanami, you're usually so generous, but your first action when you come to the beach is to sit down next to me."

"Also, your arms and shoulders always cover your chest unnaturally, which means you think this swimsuit reveals too much. Secondly, you looked at the water gun with a timid look, as if you imagined some bad plot."

"Shouldn't you..."

"Are you afraid that your swimsuit will be washed off by their water guns?"

"Yanai~, come and play!" Lemon on the front beach was waving at Yanai.

But Yanami was unmoved, because Ukyo guessed right, she was indeed a little scared. If only the people present were girls, she might have let loose and had fun, but the problem was that Tamaki and Ukyo, two of the opposite sex, were also present.

This problem is also easy to solve.

Yanami didn't lack confidence, she was just afraid of wearing a bikini since she had never worn one before.

So Youjing told her that the quality of her mother's swimsuit was very good and the bikini was not that fragile. His classmates used to play ball in the water in swimsuits and even practice karate in the water.

Yanami thought to herself that your junior high school classmates are really tough, but she was a little skeptical. Who would practice karate in the water?

But when she wanted to retort, Ukyo stood up and joined the water gun battle, and in a flash, he repeatedly scored on Lemon, so that she suddenly became the outcast...

Yanami quickly got up from under the parasol and swallowed the popsicle in one gulp.

"I'm coming~!"

She sat under the umbrella because she had Ukyo to chat with. If Ukyo left, what was the point of staying under the umbrella? Although she was a little afraid that her swimsuit would fall off, she also wanted to play a water gun battle.

As a result, Ukyo changed his target, lost interest in Lemon, and started scoring on himself repeatedly.

"wait....."

"Where are you spraying?"

"Damn Ukyo Demon!! Lemon~, attack with me!!"

"Alright~, watch me!"

The water's reflection cast a rainbow on the ocean's surface, and the blue-haired girl fled, completely unimaginative and prescient. Ukyo could dive, but the others couldn't. They'd all taken swimming lessons, but Ukyo was as agile as a barracuda in the water. He seemed to be able to see clearly underwater without goggles. Whenever she and Lemon tried to spot him amidst the ripples of the waves, Ukyo would pounce from the other direction.

He has a strong desire to win when playing games. He cannot accept being hit once, but still attacks others fiercely.

Yanami and Shaoyan were frightened by the beating and began to defend themselves with guns back to back.

The boring game made Ukyo miss his free day, but he didn't expect that he would also miss that introverted Italian. If he knew that he was playing a water gun battle with 15-year-old girls at the beach, he would definitely open his mouth wide and think he was hallucinating.

Maybe the environment can really change a person invisibly.

Compared to the tense battle here, the situation on the sides of Tamaki and Tsukinoki was very harmonious. The two senior comrades splashed water on each other. Although there was no competition or confrontation, the two of them were in a good mood.

Yanai noticed something unusual and immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Lemon, Ukyo, based on my experience, there's a high probability that there's something fishy going on between the two of them."

Yanami had noticed the romantic atmosphere between Ayano and Asagumo not long ago, and she sent a message to herself, but Ukyo didn't take it seriously at the time, and still encouraged Lemon to confess her feelings, which led to her defeat.

I can't say anything about other things about Youjing, but she does have some talent in sensing the atmosphere.

Lemon was a little confused, "Are they a couple?"

Yana spread her hands, saying she didn't know. She had some other gossip, that is, Xiaoju...she seemed to be interested in President Tamaki.

Ukyo noticed Komari who remained on the shore.

She sat alone on the shore, hugging her knees, wearing a long-sleeved jacket very stiffly, and was even embarrassed to borrow the parasol.

Lemon asked stupidly, "Should we invite her along?"

"Hey~, Xiaoju~, the water is cool, come down quickly~"

Xiaoju on the shore quickly looked away and didn't look at Lemon.

"Yōgao's summons... is so, so terrifying..."

Xiaoju put on an expression that was hard to hide her annoyance and looked directly at the group of people who were having fun.

"I'm a little tired." Youjing said suddenly.

"You guys continue, I'll go back to the beach and rest for a while." The moment he turned around, his eyes suddenly fixed on Yanaijian's chest. Yanaijian seemed to have sensed something bad was going on, "Could it be..."

She quickly lowered her head, only to find the bikini still firmly attached to her body, protecting her vitals. Realizing she'd been tricked, Yana blushed and splashed water forward. This was the only time she'd hit Ukyo that day. Despite her scheme having succeeded, Ukyo didn't laugh at her panic and embarrassment like a villain. Instead, he pretended nothing had happened and returned to the shore, sitting down next to Komari.

Volume 41: Chapter Don’t you have any friends?

"This guy..." Yanaijian gritted his teeth and couldn't think of what new label to give him.

Forget it, forget about it for now.

She pointed to the cheerful "senior duo" in the distance and said to Lemon, "I always feel like someone is showing off their affection in front of us."

"Yeah." Lemon nodded in approval.

She had just suffered a breakup and was extremely sensitive to such things. She would never forgive any couple who showed off their presence in front of her! So the two of them turned their water guns around... A new round of laughter echoed from the bathing area.

shore....

The first thing Ukyo did when he got back to shore was to check his guitar case. He hadn't left it at the youth hostel, so the guy who had eaten there must have taken it with him.

Komari was curious about how he also knew music, but she didn't dare ask. If she really had the courage to ask, Ukyo wouldn't mind showing him the God Sword and Spider-Grimoire in the box.

"It's a rare opportunity to come to the beach, why not go and have some fun?" Ukyo said after checking the knives.

"Stop, stop meddling in other people's business." Xiaoju said stubbornly, then buried her head in her smartphone. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she raised her head and said:

"I, that's what I wanted to ask, Ukyo, do you like Yanami?"

Although I don’t dare to play with them, are they very gossipy?

"Do you like Tamaki?" Ukyo asked back.

The sudden attack made Xiaoju's throat seem to be strangled. Compared to the blushing of ordinary girls, the most direct manifestation of her social anxiety was that she was unable to speak when her secret crush was discovered.

"you you you......"

"How did I tell that?" Ukyo said it for him.

This was the first time Ukyo met Tamaki today, and Komari had never spoken a word to him, so she didn't understand how Ukyo found out.

"Because of that look..." He gave a brief explanation, much the same as he'd used before their previous meeting with Yana. In short, he'd noticed Komari's frequent glances at Tamaki-san, and she wanted to fit in with Tamaki and Tsukinoki, not Lemon's. Who would go to such lengths to intrude on what looked like a couple? That kind of gaze, wanting to enter but not daring to, was a classic example of a secret crush, and he'd seen the same look in someone else's eyes many times.

Xiaoju's situation is different from Yana's situation with Lemon.

Unlike the two aforementioned players who had hopes of winning, Ukyo felt that Komari's chances were slim.

At the same time, he and Xiaoju are not as familiar with each other as the two mentioned above, so he does not intend to help Xiaoju make decisions.

The most important point is that he has realized that he is not good at "helping others express their feelings."

Therefore, if no one comes to him for help in the future, he does not intend to provide "confession advice" to anyone.

While thinking this in her heart, Xiaoju said: "You haven't answered my question just now."

Xiaoju is actually not that afraid of Youjing anymore. Ever since she was sent home in the heavy rain that day, she has known that he is also a gentle person, so she dared to ask sensitive topics related to love.

"I don't like it." Ukyo said.

"B-but...you guys are always sticking together."

"Ukyo, why don't you... be more frank?"

Maybe in the eyes of high school students, if two people of the opposite sex often stay together, at least one of them likes the other. Otherwise, the normal combination should be boys playing with boys and girls playing with girls.

Xiaoju asked Ukyo in return, if you don’t like him, why do you always appear with Yanami, don’t you have any other male friends to play with?

Ukyo said yes.

His tone was serious and didn't sound fake.

Xiaoju felt that she had said something wrong. As expected, the less you say, the fewer mistakes you make. But how could that be possible? She felt that Youjing must be lying to her. How could such an outstanding person like Youjing not have any same-sex friends?

Youjing told her that it was not a question of opposite sex or same sex, but that a few days ago, he didn't even have any friends. Making friends has always been his weakness. Even if a "friend" came to him on his own initiative, he might not be able to grasp it.

It was just a coincidence that he met Yanami. If he hadn't seen how pathetic and pitiful she was, and how she looked like a replica of an old friend, and they happened to be classmates, he would have decided to help her.

As for why Xiaoju feels like she's been spending all day with Yanai...

"Hasn't it occurred to you that the time you see us is actually limited to the club activity room after school every day. Apart from this time, we don't even talk in class. Secondly, I have a lot of work to do after school, and I won't even reply to her messages unless it's a topic of interest."

As he was speaking, the screen of the phone in Youjing's waterproof bag lit up.

Xiaoju was right beside him. When she subconsciously glanced to the side, she saw an ID with the note "Mouri Detective" sending him a group of photos——

The crime scene, marked with a "safety pen," still had blood stains on the body. Komari covered her mouth with her hand and looked at Ukyo's profile in surprise.

The software they used for conversation was not LINE. Xiaoju had never seen such an interface before. It felt a bit simple and ugly, like an APP from several years ago.

There's nothing we can do about this. There seems to be no artist in the team responsible for operating the police app, so the interface is inevitably a bit ugly.

Xiaoju didn't know what Ukyo replied.

After receiving the news, he put on a long-sleeved sun-protective jacket and left the beach. He took out sunglasses and a cigar from his guitar case, and stood on the platform next to the highway, talking to the person on the phone.

About ten minutes later, he returned to the beach and sat down next to her again. Xiaoju sighed that his temperament seemed to have switched from a mature and calm young detective to a slightly aloof teenager.

"Is this what you call a job?"

"No, I'm just doing a small favor for a friend."

"Oh..." Xiaoju responded, not knowing how to continue the topic. She was not very good at this.

"I, I still feel that the atmosphere between you and Yanami is not right."

"She seems to often...help you..."

What Komari was referring to was probably the extra lunch box Yanami made because he didn't want to see him drinking iced coffee and eating wheat bread at noon every day. It could also be that Yanami always helped carry things when he appeared behind him, or that Yanami rarely refused his requests... But this was only what Komari saw. In fact, he helped that stupid loser more times.

Suddenly, Ukyo seemed to realize something. He tilted his head and looked down uncertainly. "Xiaoju, you don't think that helping someone and 'liking' someone are linked, do you? Could it be that someone at school helped you, and after that 'help', you fell in love with them?"

Xiaoju's expression became confused for some reason, and then she pulled up the front of her coat, hugged her knees and slowly moved on the sand until she was two or three meters away from Ukyo.

........

The group of people playing in the water looked at Ukyo on the beach. He had left the beach several times in a short period of time and was always on the phone.

Yue Zhimu asked in confusion, "Why doesn't he play with us anymore?"

The person being questioned was Yanami, as they frequently appeared together, and if anyone present knew what Ukyo was up to, it would definitely be her.

Yana didn't think twice and answered directly, "He has a pre-arranged schedule every weekend. I think he called because of a schedule conflict. Come to think of it...if I hadn't discussed it with us when I arranged the training camp, he'd probably be somewhere mysterious right now that we can't even guess."

"Eh? You really do know him well~, worthy of being his little follower~"

"what?"

"Because you always follow him. Just now, before you went into the water, you sat next to him. It seemed like you only came down after getting his permission."

"Not at all! Damn senior~, watch out!" Yanajian used a fully-inflated water gun to attack Tsukinoki's lace swimsuit, and Lemon helped shoot from the side. The senior wailed and begged for mercy, and the laughter of the girls could be heard again on the beach.

Such happiness lasted until noon.

It’s time for dinner.

Ukyo on the shore disappeared.
