Why are there only loser heroines around me?

From the blue-haired girl wearing Ishifugao's uniform, Yana saw Kyoko grab the microphone...

Suddenly, someone in the audience yelled at the top of his voice—

"Coach! I want to play basketball!"

.......

-

"Alone...Wandering in the big city"

"Like an empty beer can thrown away..."

"...If love requires exploring everything about each other, then it's better to sleep forever..."

The blue-haired girl stared at Ukyo. She knew that Ukyo would be able to sing because she dug out a box of dusty old tapes from the box next to the TV in Ukyo's house. All the tapes in the box were covered with a layer of dust, except for the one called "Until the End of the World". This proved that Ukyo often listened to it. The old DVD in his house had signs of use. Ukyo liked these old things, just like he liked the vinyl records on his mobile phone in the club.

Yanami's smile was particularly bright under the frenzied lights and cheers, youthful yet exceptionally crazy. She pointed the microphone towards the audience, actually towards Ukyo. Someone handed the microphone to the band's original home, and everyone sang the familiar chorus together at this time -

"I don't want to be separated from you until the end of the world..."

"I have made wishes on thousands of nights."

"Why is the time that has gone and will never come back so dazzling?"

“…”

The pressure brought by the unemployment wave, the mental pain in the late stage of the college entrance examination sprint, the unexpected death of relatives and friends, the confusion about the future...intermittent struggle, continuous confusion...A song cannot heal these pains, but it can vent the emotions suppressed in the heart in a brief moment.

Volume 118: Chapter 5: All members of the Supernatural Society failed the exam? (K)

Shikiya looked into Ukyo's eyes.

She had to admit that Yanami's voice sounded like that of a trained professional singer. She had heard that Yanami liked to sing karaoke with her classmates. There was indeed a huge gap between people who frequented KTVs and an amateur like her. So, when Ukyo's eyes were only filled with the dazzling neon lights of Mikawa Park and the figure of the blue-haired girl, she could only sigh in her heart.

"Ukyo boy... I'm going back."

"Huh?" Ukyo was startled, his gaze shifting from Yanami to Shikiya, "Are you going back?"

"Yes, I'm going back."

"It was fun hunting with you today."

What's so fun about work? It sounded like they were about to say goodbye, but they hadn't finished their volunteer work today and had to continue tomorrow. Of course, volunteer work was entirely voluntary, so if Shikiya didn't want to do it tomorrow, Ukyo wouldn't have any objections.

Working alone was boring and tedious. He liked to watch Shikiya using exorcism pellets to kill those low-level demon rats with exaggerated appetites. It was very relaxing.

"Will you still do the volunteer rat removal tomorrow?"

Ukyo said so.

Now it was Shikiya's turn to be stunned.

Could there be a chance for things to turn around?

Shikiya suddenly realized that she was not competing with Yanami for the heart of the young man from Ukyo, and perhaps it was time for her to withdraw.

If that’s the case, why did the young man from Youjing ask another question?

"I thought...it was over between us."

"what?"

"I said...it's over."

Maybe Zhixiwu doesn't like rat extermination, or maybe he has other things to do on Sundays.

"Okay then," Ukyo said. "I plan to work another day tomorrow and try to get the shops and restaurants near my home done. This job is just boring and repetitive, but it's not tiring."

Continue tomorrow?

Ukyo volunteered to exterminate rats simply because he wanted to do something to help ordinary people, and it had nothing to do with things like "love" or "strategy."

After realizing this at Shikiya, she suddenly felt ashamed because she shouldn't have speculated on other people's true feelings with malice.

"I'll go too." said Shikiya.

It is true that she can choose not to go for the voluntary rat removal work, but it is not her style to throw the half-done work to others.

........

...

The next morning.

Chef Xinggong's Ramen Shop.

The cat sat on the long table and licked its paws again.

Chef Xingmiya's ramen shop is a "semi-open" shop built on the street. There are a lot of mice in it, as if a whole family has made their home there. The cat caught more than 40 mice in total. Shikiya used a slingshot to shoot down two of the ones that escaped, and the rest were stabbed to death by Gyuto with a rapier. Finally, Ukyo set up a simple exorcism talisman at the door of the shop.

During work, the two chatted casually.

"Are you going to the party organized by the Hualian Girls?"

"No." Ukyo said, "She invited you too? Are you close?"

"No." Shikiya said, "But she invited Tian Aixing... Tian Aixing and I have a pretty good relationship, so she asked me if I wanted to go."

"So you're going?"

"Don't go."

After abandoning the three-day strategy plan, Shikiya returned to her most simple and essential state.

The way he often spoke left people speechless, which was similar to Ukyo's. However, when two people who spoke little got together, negative and negative would make a positive difference. In awkward moments, each party would try to make up for the topic, but sometimes they would stop the conversation tacitly, and they were tired of "making up for each other".

Zhixiwu used a mousetrap to trap the body, put it in a black bag, and threw it into the big trash can outside the house.

"Ukyo-kun is always at the top of his class...do you have any secret to studying?"

"No." Ukyo said, "You've always had good grades. What's your secret?"

"No."

The topic fell into awkward silence again, and it seemed that the two top students had nothing to share with each other in terms of learning experience.

They walked side by side to the next rat extermination point, Mr. Inoue's house.

"Why do you suddenly want to be a paranormal detective?"

This time, Ukyo was the one who started the topic.

"Because... people with talent should do something, and... a wealthy lady like me... oftentimes, I crave excitement."

Her bullets were still as accurate as ever. Before entering Mr. Inoue's house, she easily shot two mice, killing one. Then, the bullet used the recoil trajectory to kill another mouse that was crawling over the eaves.

"What about you? Why did you choose this career?"

"At first it was to find something, then it was out of habit."

"Oh." Shikiya looked up at the sky, her expression seemed a little surprised.

"I thought... Ukyo-kun was the kind of low-key hero who took responsibility for his own interests."

She is not wrong to say that.

Although the title is wrong, the work he and the "low-key hero" do is essentially the same.

..........

...

When the voluntary rat extermination was over, it was already dark.

Ukyo boarded the train at the station closest to the last house and said goodbye to Shikiya.

"Yanami is a very good person... Don't let him down."

Her parting words were incoherent.

If she wanted to promote her relationship with Tian Aixing, Ukyo could understand it. After all, Shikiya and Tian Aixing had a very good relationship, and it was normal for her to inquire about the news on behalf of her friend.

But the reason why she suddenly mentioned Yanami makes people curious. The relationship between Shikiya and Yanami seems to be not even that of ordinary friends.

Ukyo didn't intend to delve into the matter, he wasn't interested, and Shikiya had already left. Her home was nearby, so there was no need to take the train.

After getting on the train, Ukyo respected his own gaze in the empty carriage and chose the first seat that caught his eye. The moment he sat down, a familiar female voice rang in his ears.

"Hmm? Xiaoju? I actually met you on the train, how strange."

Lemon, who used to be full of energy, now had a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Shaoyan Lemon sat in the chair opposite Youjing and waved at him with a forced smile.

Ukyo saw that she was holding a schoolbag on her legs, but today was Sunday and there were no classes at Ishifu High School.

When she saw Ukyo, a happy expression appeared on her originally tired face, and she reached out and patted the seat next to her.

Ukyo remained unmoved, so Lemon had no choice but to compromise with her. With a wry smile on her face, she took the initiative to sit next to Ukyo.

"Going to make up lessons?"

"Ah."

Lemon nodded slightly.

"The final exam is coming up soon, and I have to pass it no matter how high or low it is."

Ukyo said, "Is there any hope?"

"Yes, but history and math are a bit of a headache."

Lemon lowered his head, staring at the floor, scratching his head repeatedly, a rare occurrence. "It's really frustrating. The atmosphere in the cram school is extremely tense. There are a lot of bad students taking the same classes with me. They often tease me during class. On top of that, the teachers of various subjects are threatening to make me repeat a grade."

It's a bit of a nightmare indeed.

"Which subject did you fail?"

Before Ukyo asked this question, he had never thought that Lemon failed all the subjects. They went to junior high school together, and Lemon's grades were not that bad at that time, at least she had no problem passing.

"It seems like...all of them."

There was a long silence.

"By the way, is Xiaoju's after-school study group still going? I want to go!"

Lemon's expression was very serious.

He definitely won't do it. His eldest disciple Mitsuki Ayano and his second disciple Chihaya Asagumo have become a legendary couple. Their relationship has become as strong as a rock after experiencing a small storm, and their academic performance is also getting better and better. It can be said to be the most ideal win-win situation for high school lovers.

From this perspective, Lemon Loss is quite miserable, with both love and career failing.

Ukyo suddenly remembered that Yanami seemed to be worried about the final exams as well.

If enough people want to make up for the missed lessons, his after-school study group can naturally be reopened.

"You can call some people." Ukyo said, "If there are more than three people who want tutoring, I will consider reopening the class."

"Great!" Lemon's eyes were filled with hope again, like the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning.

Isn’t it easy to get three people together?

No one studied much during the school closure period, and there must be many people who are worried about how to pass the final exams.

"Are you having trouble with the track team?"

"It will definitely be affected!" Lemon said, "If I take tutoring, I'll have less time to train, but if I don't pass, I'll be banned from club activities. Although running fast has advantages in terms of admission to higher education, that's something a senior should be worried about. If I don't pass this final exam, I might actually be held back."

In Japan, repeating a grade is usually requested by those who have been sick for too long or have other family matters that have delayed their academic progress. Generally speaking, students who fail a course will take a make-up exam, and only those who fail the make-up exam will be ordered to repeat the grade. Make-up exams are very common among Japanese high school students.

Even at Shifu High School, which has a relatively good admission rate, there are still many students in the class who need to retake exams.

However, this kind of repeating a grade only exists in high schools that attach great importance to the rate of admission to higher education.

This year, the leadership of Ishifu High School had already confirmed the school's future development strategy. The onmyoji hired at great expense from various locations across Tokyo had already been in place for six months, and Ishifu High School's future development strategy was to strive towards becoming one of Japan's first "Exorcist High Schools."

In order to achieve a good social influence, a 100% admission rate is only the first step.

This 100% is a goal that must be achieved, but 100% only counts the number of graduates who take the entrance examination among the current period. Others who fail and repeat the grade are not included in the statistics. As long as those who fail are sent back to repeat the grade in advance, there will be no problem with the admission rate.
