I have too many anime girlfriends!

After finishing her speech representing the new students, Shiina Mahiru gracefully returned to the audience amidst the attention of everyone present.

With the opening ceremony successfully concluded, the students naturally returned to their classrooms to begin their first day of high school studies.

In fact, the first day only had a few classes in the morning, and the afternoon was free time, which can be regarded as giving the freshmen a chance to adapt to the school.

And you can take the opportunity to chat with your classmates.

As soon as get out of class ended, Yukino Yukinoshita was surrounded by several enthusiastic girls.

It was Shiina Mahiru, Higurashi Kagome, Sherry, and a few other girls who were of average appearance.

One of the girls, with a sweet face, an oval face, and wavy, flaxen hair, smiled and struck up a conversation:

"Yukinoshita-kun, I've created a class chat group. Would you like to join? We can chat when we need something, and it'll be easier to stay in touch."

"Not interested." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her and refused outright.

"Eh?"

Seemingly never expecting to be rejected, the girl named Naomi Watanabe's smile froze, and she looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with some disbelief.

She seemed embarrassed by the loss of face, but refused to give up and continued to persuade her:

"But Shiina-san, Higurashi-san, and everyone in the class have decided to join..."

"That's why I said I'm not interested. I don't have time for idle chatter. If it's not important, please don't bother me."

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke coldly, exuding an inexplicable aura that startled Naomi Watanabe, who immediately bowed deeply.

"I'm...I'm sorry! Yukinoshita-san, it was wrong of me to bother you!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's face stiffened.

She simply didn't want to join any chat groups, and because of her junior high school experience, she was instinctively wary of such enthusiastic girls, especially when she heard the word "everyone," which triggered a kind of stress reaction.

But honestly, she didn't mean to scare Watanabe.

But when Naomi Watanabe returned to her seat with a long face after apologizing, and kept sobbing, while Mahiru Shiina was awkwardly comforting her, Yukino Yukinoshita's lips twitched involuntarily.

She turned to look at Shinji Kaminaga, who was smirking beside her, and asked, puzzled, "Am I scary?"

Why did Naomi Watanabe cry when she simply refused to join the chat group?

Shinji Kaminaga smiled and explained, "It's probably because Yukino, your aura is too strong. Your icy presence is like it could freeze people. Watanabe-kun has a soft personality, so he was naturally intimidated by you."

"Is this a compliment? Then I'll accept it." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in satisfaction.

Although she felt a little guilty for scaring her classmate, she hated trouble even more.

Knowing that he's not someone to mess with, those girls who might ostracize him should also consider his own abilities and be more cautious.

Shinji Kaminaga sighed. Yukino was still the same as ever, instinctively resisting group activities.

No wonder.

During junior high school, he wasn't by her side. It wasn't that no girls tried to approach her and befriend her, but gradually, they all felt ashamed and started to distance themselves from her because she was too outstanding.

And so, over and over again, she was ostracized by her classmates.

The saying "once bitten by a snake, twice shy" perfectly illustrates this.

Shinji Kaminaga felt sorry for her, but now that he was there, he was sure he wouldn't let her continue to be alone.

After being comforted by Shiina Mahiru, Watanabe Naomi recovered somewhat and enthusiastically approached Shinji Kaminaga to extend an invitation to him.

"Kaminaga-kun, I've created a class chat group. Would you like to join and chat together?"

"Of course, I'll join, Watanabe-kun. Thank you for inviting me."

Shinji Kaminaga readily agreed, but when he turned around, he found Yukino Yukinoshita staring at him with displeasure.

Her meaning was clear: What are you doing joining in?

He wanted to use his handsome face to attract the attention of female classmates, and then think about living off a woman.

Shinji Kaminaga sighed, and after joining the class group and sending Naomi Watanabe away, he immediately sent a message to Yukino Yukinoshita on his phone.

The content is like this:

"Yukino, I'll join that class group so I can see if anyone's talking badly about you. You may not care what others say about you, but I'm petty and can't stand people talking about you behind your back."

When Yukino Yukinoshita saw this message, her gaze softened considerably.

However, she replied to him with a message immediately.

"Mind your own business. I don't care about that kind of thing. People can talk, you can't expect them to shut up permanently. Don't do anything unnecessary!"

Shinji Kaminaga: "I'm happy to meddle in Yukino's business. If anyone has any objections, let her come to me herself."

Another thing is, he really has the ability to shut people up.

That sealed-off spirit power scared Shimada Kazuki and Hirose to tears when they were kids, and they still have psychological trauma from it to this day.

Yukino Yukinoshita did not reply to him, but the slight curve of her lips proved that she was in a pleasant mood at the moment.

How could she remain indifferent when someone she cares about shows concern for her?

But girls are always reserved.

She didn't want this person to see her shy expression.

At the same time, she genuinely had no interest in joining the class chat group.

As a shrine maiden who inherited Midori's purification techniques, and as a special person who knows that there are demons in this world that persecute humans, what she has to do is cultivate spiritual power as much as possible and become as strong as possible.

While trying to find the demons hiding in the human world, they also need to protect the people they care about.

She's very busy; she doesn't have time to play any friend games with other girls!

Moreover.

As for friends, I have Nishimiya Shoko and this idiot who cares about me, that's enough.

She only needs one or two close friends; she hates hypocritical interpersonal relationships and fake friendships.

Soon, the morning classes came to an end.

Like Yukino, who had no female friends, Shinji Kaminaga was also ostracized by all the boys because of his handsome appearance.

Who can blame him for being so popular with girls?

The other boys instinctively felt envious and jealous, and then tacitly ignored him.

Well, Shinji Kaminaga is enjoying his leisurely life.

There's nothing wrong with his desire to celebrate youth, but aside from liking cute girls, he has no interest in superficial friendships.

Those who truly appreciate him will take the initiative to approach him and extend goodwill.

Shinji Kaminaga and Yukino Yukinoshita share the same desire for genuine friendship.

If you make a fake friend, isn't it obvious that you'll be betrayed by them later?

Just like Ishida Shoya and his two best friends Hirose and Shimada in elementary school, their friendship was so fragile that it could capsize at any moment.

Another thing is, although he doesn't have any gay friends, he has a lot of lovely female friends!

Sweet and soft girls are the best.

In just one morning, small cliques formed in the class.

For example, people in the otaku community are discussing games and comics.

The boys in the sports circle are discussing soccer.

There were other people chatting happily, and they discussed with great enthusiasm which clubs they would join next.

Shiina Mahiru was also chatting away with Kagome Higurashi, Sherry, and several other cute girls. The most eye-catching one was Shiina Mahiru, who seemed to get along with almost everyone.

Of course, we only talk about normal topics; we definitely won't talk about things like boyfriends.

Shinji Kaminaga has already noticed that this friendly attitude towards everyone is a disguise by Mahiru Shiina.

She was used to being adept at handling all kinds of interpersonal relationships and taking the lead in them.

Shinji Kaminaga seemed to see the shadow of Haruno in her.

But isn't she tired?

Even Yang Nai would occasionally sneak into his room to confide in him.

He would then take the opportunity to make a request to enjoy Yang Nai's lap pillow.
