I have too many anime girlfriends!

Sitting in the car, Nishimiya Shoko and Yukino Yukinoshita were initially in the mood to enjoy the scenery around them through the car window, but their initial excitement quickly faded over time.

After all, sitting in a car for too long can be tiring, and your butt will go numb.

Shinji Kaminaga was quite interested in watching the backs of Yukinoshita and Shizuka Hirazuka ahead.

Especially the bow-tie halter top that Miss Yang Nai wore behind her slender neck; if he were a mischievous child, he wouldn't be able to resist reaching out to untie it.

Of course, this will definitely get you beaten up.

As he was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a weight on both shoulders.

Turning his head, he saw that the adorable Nishimiya Shoko and Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been excitedly looking out the window, had both rested their heads on his shoulder.

Looking at the two little girls' peaceful sleeping faces, he could only act like a wooden puppet, trying not to move, so that they could lean on him more comfortably.

He was also holding a 10-year-old girl named Nishimiya Yuzuru in his arms. How to describe the feeling of being surrounded by girls? It was quite a strange feeling.

Let me make it clear beforehand, he's not a lolicon.

I'm still a primary school student, and I don't have any bad intentions. I just feel really good to be trusted by a cute girl.

Effort brings rewards, and this positive feedback makes people feel genuinely happy.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Shinji Kaminaga's smile through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but curl her lips in disgust.

This brat is already attracting so many girls while he's still in elementary school. What will he be like when he grows up?

If this kid ever dares to make Yukino cry again, she will definitely not let him off the hook.

Yukino, who was thinking this way, never considered that the one crying might also be herself...

Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

Upon arriving at her destination, Hiratsuka Shizuka drove the car to an open space where a bus was already parked.

After getting off the car, Hiratsuka Shizuka stretched and moved her body, her full curves pressing against her clothes in an exceptionally alluring way as she moved.

When they finally arrived at their destination, Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to be liberated. She took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and ran to the side to puff away.

Seeing this, Shinji Kaminaga seemed to understand the first reason why she couldn't get married.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not popular with men in Japan, a place where there are many overworked office workers.

Simply put, casual flings are fine, but marriage is out of the question.

Imagine being a corporate slave, working like a beast of burden at the company all day, only to come home to a wife who doesn't cook but sits there smoking instead. Who could stand that?

Of course, Shinji Kaminaga didn't mean to discriminate against her for smoking. After all, he understood that smoking wasn't about smoking cigarettes, but about smoking out sorrow.

"Go away, kid! What are you doing staring at me like that? Go play with your girlfriends!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed Shinji Kaminaga's gaze and immediately waved him away with a look of disgust, as if shooing away some small animal, telling him to go play somewhere else.

You could hear a hint of bitterness in his tone.

Clearly, Shinji Kaminaga's behavior of having a young girlfriend at such a young age made this 25-year-old beauty feel frustrated.

Even elementary school students know to invest in advance. There's Yukino Yukinoshita and Shoko Nishimiya, with a little sister-like loli sitting on their laps. And what about Shizuka Hiratsuka?

She's already 25, where is her other half?

Will I still be single when this kid turns 18 and goes to high school?

Thinking this, a black aura appeared on Hiratsuka Shizuka's body, which was probably her resentment.

Shinji Kaminaga was speechless at the beautiful teacher's attempt to drive him away, but he didn't say much. He carried his backpack, held Yuzuru Nishimiya's hand, and joined the other children on the bus with Yukino Yukinoshita and Shoko Nishimiya.

He saw several people he knew get off the bus.

Naoka Ueno, class representative Miki Kawai, Miyoko Sahara, Shoya Ishida, Hayato Hayama, and two boys I don't recognize.

"Hi, Kaminaga-kun, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to be participating in this summer camp too!"

The moment Naoka Ueno saw him, she flashed a bright smile and gathered around with her friends.

"Yes, what a coincidence."

Shinji Kaminaga didn't say much, just smiled and responded.

Miyoko Sahara greeted her with a smile, then came over to Shoko Nishimiya and talked to her.

Miyoko Sahara is a very kind girl, so Shinji Kaminaga did not stop them from dating.

"Hello, you must be Yukinoshita from the next class. I'm Naoka Ueno, who's in the same class as Kaminaga. Nice to meet you."

After greeting everyone, Naoka Ueno set her sights on Yukino Yukinoshita, trying to get closer to her.

"Hello, Yukinoshita-kun. I'm Kawai Miki, and I'm also in the same class as Kaminaga-kun."

Yukino Yukinoshita politely shook hands with the two of them, saying, "Nice to meet you."

He gave a casual reply and then said nothing more.

She disliked Naoka Ueno and Miki Kawai. Although the two women hid it well, she could still sense a hint of jealousy in their eyes.

The look in her eyes, which seemed to be ostracizing her, was exactly the same as that of the other girls in her class. Once she realized this, she lost all desire to communicate with the other girl.

Perhaps out of instinct to protect herself and fear of getting hurt, Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously shut herself off.

Aside from Shinji Kaminaga and Shoko Nishimiya, she instinctively guards against everyone.

Some of the girls in the class initially greeted her in a seemingly friendly manner, just like Naoka Ueno, but later they all began to distance themselves from her and ostracize her.

Yukino Yukinoshita, having been bitten by a snake once, is now extremely wary of ropes and has decided to eliminate anyone who might approach her with ill intentions.

Without a heart, there is no hurt.

That's roughly the situation.

Naoka Ueno and Miki Kawai, seeing Yukino Yukinoshita's cold attitude, didn't say anything on the surface, but when they turned around, they couldn't help but purse their lips and show some dissatisfaction.

They both thought Yukino Yukinoshita was too arrogant.

So what if she gets better grades and is a little cuter? What's so great about that?

Well, that's really impressive.

At least their idol, Shinji Kaname, often stayed by Yukino Yukinoshita's side, and they even had their own study group.

Naoka Ueno and Miki Kawai looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with envy, their jealousy almost materializing.

Shinji Kaminaga noticed this but didn't say anything more; it was just a little girl's jealousy, nothing serious.

Moreover, with him around, he'll definitely be able to handle it well.

"Long time no see, Kaminaga-kun. What a coincidence, you're also participating in this summer camp."

Hayato Hayama, the sunny and warm-hearted guy with blond hair, also took the opportunity to come over.

He seemed to have forgotten the time he was rejected when he tried to make friends last time. With a bright smile, he introduced his two new friends to Shinji Kaminaga.

"This is the Ministry of Revenue, and this is Yamato; they are both in Class 6-e."

Hello.

Shinji Kaminaga greeted him politely, and that was how they became acquainted.

Ye Shan is a real talent.

They had only just met, but they had already gotten along well with several friends. Even Naoka Ueno and the others joined in, chatting with Hayato Hayama and the others about the summer camp.

Shin Kaminaga didn't say much, only occasionally responding with a few words. His main focus was on taking care of Yuzuru Nishimiya, whom he was holding hands with, and Yukino Yukinoshita, who remained silent.

As for Nishimiya Shoko, she has a very good friend who is looking after her, namely Sahara Miyoko.

Therefore, the atmosphere on Nishimiya Shoko's side was quite good.

His biggest worry was Yukino Yukinoshita. Although she came to the event, her quiet and reserved demeanor made it clear that she couldn't fit into the girls' circle.

"Alright, kids, grab your things and follow me. You can call me Haruno-neechan. If you need any help, just let me know. Please take care of me in the future."

While the elementary school students were chatting, Yang Nai clapped her hands and showed a perfectly timed sweet smile, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Hayato Hayama was completely stunned.

After all, he was learning from Yukino Yukinoshita's lifestyle, and it could be said that what he most longed for was to become someone like Yukino.

Unfortunately, he had already failed the moment he isolated Yukino Yukinoshita.

He became everyone's Hayama, getting along well with everyone, and everyone was his friend.

But only Yukino Yukinoshita fell from the sky.

But why did Yang Nai participate in this summer camp volunteer activity?

He hadn't heard of it at all!

Thinking about this, Hayama Hayato's smile became forced. He started to feel anxious, wondering if he was being disliked by Haruno-nee because of Yukino.

That's why Yang Nai didn't tell her that she was also going to participate in the summer camp.

There's a reason why Yukinoshita Haruno is called the perfect social butterfly.

In just a few words, she gained absolute control of the conversation and attracted the attention of all the elementary school students.

Naoka Ueno and Miki Kawai, in particular, were so surprised when they learned that Haruno Yukinoshita was Yukino's older sister that their mouths dropped open and their eyes kept moving between Haruno and Yukino Yukinoshita's faces.

This is clearly a comparison; they're sisters, so why is there such a big difference?

Yukino Yukinoshita was as cold as an ice cube, and she couldn't connect with the conversation with them. On the contrary, the lively and enthusiastic Haruno, the older sister, spoke to their hearts with almost every word she said.

By the time they realized what was happening, they had already spilled their secrets.

Having taken control of the situation, Yang Nai secretly winked at her younger sister.

I'm just naive, you still have a lot to learn!

Of course, it's best not to follow her example.

It's exhausting to try to please everyone.

In fact, Yukinoshita Haruno was also struggling with whether or not to teach her younger sister to be more tactful in dealing with people.

After all, lone wolves don't work in this world; humans are ultimately social animals.

Moreover, my younger sister is really clueless and still maintains that aloof attitude.

No wonder, the ostracism caused by Hayato has really triggered a stress reaction in Yukino.

They will instinctively ostracize people they don't trust.

Now, Yuki is someone she trusts... Shinji Kaminaga?

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Haruno immediately disliked that kid.

She felt that her sister's status was being seriously challenged.

Yukino's trust is almost completely stolen by Shinji Kaminaga.

Shinji Kaminaga shrugged after being glared at, walked up to her, and said, "Yono-nee, I'm a little tired. You said I could ask you for help if I needed anything. Could you carry my backpack for me?"

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno's smile froze.

Is this kid even a man? Can't he be a gentleman?

How could he possibly let this beautiful young girl carry his bag? That's so unladylike!

Shinji Kaminaga, however, handed the backpack to Haruno without changing his expression. "I'm still a primary school student, not a man, at most a boy."

Yang had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it, then said with a smile:

"Then I'll carry it for you for a while. Once you've rested, you have to carry it yourself. As a man, you can't say you can't do it."

Hayato Hayama felt a pang of discomfort seeing Shinji Kaminaga's enormous backpack pressing against Hinano's pink back, so he mustered his courage and said:

"Yono-nee, let me help Kaminaga-kun carry it. I don't have many things with me, so I can easily carry it!"

"No need, Hayato-kun, you're still a child, hurry up and keep up!"

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled and declined Hayama Hayato's suggestion; she didn't want to hand over Shinji Kaminaga's things to anyone else.

Although she was annoyed that this brat was flirting with her sister, if you asked her who she trusted most, without a doubt, it would be Shinji Kaminaga.

If it weren't for Shinji Kaminaga, Yukino wouldn't have had the chance to come out and play, and she certainly wouldn't be here investigating at a time like this.

Well, we can only hope that his "Ultraman" mentor has been secretly protecting him all along.

Hayama Hayato, frustrated by his fruitless attempts to curry favor, nodded dejectedly and shifted his focus to helping his new friend, Ishida Shoya, carry his things.

After walking along the cement road for about 30 minutes, the elementary school students were a little tired, but they were still in high spirits, and some even ran ahead and played happily.

When the elementary school students saw a tall staircase and an ancient torii gate that showed the marks of time, their mouths dropped open.

"Yinnai-neechan, are we going to have to climb this long staircase again?"

Naoka Ueno raised a question, somewhat incredulous.

Yukino's lips curled into a slight smile. "Of course we have to! We're going to the Heavenly Maiden Shrine, you know. They say if you climb up there on your own and make a wish to the Heavenly Maiden, your wish will come true!"

Upon hearing this, the boys curled their lips in disdain, while the girls, led by Naoka Ueno, had their eyes light up completely.

They stole a glance at the composed Shinji Kaminaga, and all of them revealed determined expressions.

"I understand, Haruno-neechan! I, Naoka Ueno, will definitely overcome all difficulties and climb up! Go for it! I'll be the first to make a wish!"

As if she had been injected with adrenaline, Naoka Ueno took the lead and started climbing the stairs.

Little girl Yuzuru Nishimiya also let go of Shinji Kaminaga's hand and ran over to join in the fun.

Nishimiya Shoko and Sahara Miyoko also started walking upwards together.

Several boys, including Ishida Shoya, Tobe, and Yamato, were reluctant, but since the girls had already started climbing, they could only sigh and follow along.

Only Yukino Yukinoshita was panting heavily, her cheeks flushed from overexertion, and a fine layer of sweat glistening on her smooth forehead.

Upon seeing this, Shinji Kaminari walked up to her and squatted down.

Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback. "What are you doing?"

Shinji Kaminaga answered matter-of-factly, "I'll carry you up."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him, clearly annoyed. "What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?"

"You're the one who forcefully kicked me out and took the top spot in the grade, Yukino Yukinoshita. How could I, the second-place student, dare to look down on you? But since Haruno-nee helped me carry the bag, I naturally have to repay her kindness."

"you…"

"Stop talking nonsense and get on up here. What are you afraid I'll do to you?"

Yukino Yukinoshita touched the red ribbon in her hair, looked at his unquestionable expression, blushed and hesitated for a moment, but finally leaned forward, suppressing the feeling of her heart racing, and gently leaned against his back.

A pair of snow-white, lotus-root-like arms gently encircled his neck.

Shinji Kaminaga's lips curled up slightly without his notice, but the smile quickly disappeared. With a quick movement, he wrapped his arms around the girl's slender legs, which were encased in black over-the-knee stockings, and carried her on his back.

"Well then, I'm off."

Yukino Yukinoshita, carrying Shinji Kaminaga's backpack, was stunned by this scene.

Did this kid anticipate this situation all along?

He already knew that Yukino was born with a weak body and was not good at physical activities, so he handed the backpack to her, his older sister, to save his energy.

And then, thankfully, I was able to carry Yukino on my back at this time?

Really...

What a cunning boy!

When Naoka Ueno finally reached the top and started cheering, her smile vanished the moment her gaze fell on Shinji Kaminaga, who was carrying Yukino Yukinoshita and steadily climbing the stairs.

The same goes for Miki Kawai.

The two girls looked at each other, on the verge of tears.

"Yukinoshita-san is so cunning! She even had this trick up her sleeve!"

"I want to be carried on Kaminaga's back too!!"

When they were almost at the top, with only a few steps left, Yukino Yukinoshita wrapped her arms around Shinji Kaminari's neck and whispered in his ear:

"Okay, put me down now."

"Why? I'm already here, can't I be carried up the stairs?"

"No! Because I also want to make a wish to the celestial maiden!"

"Uh... okay."

Shinji Kaminaga really wanted to say, "You're cheating by climbing the stairs like this. The goddess probably won't pay any attention to you."

But he wouldn't be foolish enough to say something like that.

I guess Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to climb up using all her strength.

She was really tired before, but when Shinji Kaminaga carried her on his back, she felt warm inside.

Even though it was only the last few steps, she wanted to try climbing them herself and then make a wish to the celestial maiden.
