The girl stood in front of the vending machine, surrounded only by the rumbling sound of the machine operating.

With nowhere else to go, she squatted down next to the vending machine, helpless and enduring her hunger.

"School...it doesn't seem interesting at all," Nitta Hina thought to herself, burying her face in her shoulders.

However, out of the corner of her eye, she saw something that seemed to be under the vending machine.

She reached out her hand, took it out, and saw a hard 10-yen coin.

In Japan, there are often many lost coins at the bottom of vending machines. This is usually because careless people buying drinks or food accidentally drop their coins into the gaps, either unaware of it or unable to retrieve them, so there is often quite a lot of money at the bottom.

Like a fledgling discovering a new continent, she immediately bent down to see if there were any more of these things below.

Her face was pressed against the stone slab, and it was pitch black inside, but she could barely make out the shape of a few coins.

Hina Nitta reached out and tried to pry it in, but when she couldn't, she used her superpowers to move it out.

Suddenly, she had thirty yen.

Then I went to look under other vending machines and got another fifty yen.

She only needs 20 yen more to buy a pineapple bun!

Underneath a vending machine, Hina Nitta saw what looked like two coins deep down.

She was covered in soot and dirt as she strained to reach in and move the two coins.

XNUM X yen! !

XNUM X yen! !

Hina Nitta's eyes were bloodshot; she felt that even 10 yen was incredibly important.

Is this the concept of money?

After much difficulty, she finally got the two coins, but in her dusty, cobweb-covered palm, there weren't two coins, but two beer caps...

"What is this!?" Nitta Hina was stunned, watching her hope of having lunch vanish just like that.

There was no one to help them, and no legal way to quickly obtain food to fill their stomachs.

She suddenly understood even more clearly what Li Xuan had once told her.

The necessity of working to survive, acquiring the resources needed to survive, and earning and saving money...

So some people make money through illegal means, while others stand in convenience stores for 150 hours a day just to survive.

This... is the adult world.

"..."

Hinata Nitta suddenly realized this truth.

She recalled every word Li Xuan uttered that night.

But she still didn't quite understand why Ah Xuan wanted her to understand the concept of money so much.

Deep down, she longs for a comfortable and carefree life...

Just as Hina Nitta was lost in thought, a hand reached out to her.

“?” Nitta Hina looked up, puzzled.

She was a quiet girl with long, beautiful black hair, who looked like a Japanese doll. She bent down to help her up, her long hair and school uniform flying wildly in the wind.

She was just an ordinary pretty girl, but for some reason, at that moment, she seemed to have an indescribable charm.

"Are you alright? Can you get up?"

Hitomi Mishima extended her hand, smiled at her, and asked.

Apart from Hitomi Mishima, the other girls were all standing to the side, their expressions varying as if they had witnessed her fundraising efforts.

"I bought some bread, let's eat together, Nitta-kun," Mishima Hitomi said calmly to Nitta under the ominous sky.

Two minutes later, Hina Nitta began to eat large mouthfuls of ham bread and drink a can of milk.

"Nitta-kun, your family can't really be that poor, can it?"

The girl with glasses looked at her in astonishment and asked.

Hina Nitta was busy eating lunch and just looked at them for a moment, so she didn't have time to answer the question.

"Ahem, what are you asking? Didn't Nitta talk about her family situation this morning? Don't upset her."

Mishima Hitomi, with a hint of anger on her face, gave a reminder.

However, none of them expected the Nitta family to be this poor...

At first, they thought the initial declaration was just a stage show and didn't take it seriously. But now the situation is different. Their poverty seems to have been confirmed, and then there's this urban rumor that's making these girls a little uneasy. Isn't that...

Who exactly is Nitta's older brother?

※※※※

The sky grew even darker.

Li Xuan landed steadily on the campus of Watanabe Middle School.

The trees in the distance swayed incessantly, and the playground was deserted, with only the sounds of students chatting and playing coming from the teaching building.

Li Xuan was facing several teaching buildings, a completely new terrain like a maze, and had no idea which building Chu was studying in.

It is said that the architectural style of Japanese schools is quite unique. The architectural styles of elementary, junior high and high schools are quite different. With large areas of bare ground and wire mesh playgrounds, Li Xuan could feel the campus layout that was sandwiched between the styles of high schools and elementary schools at a glance.

In Japanese student life, junior high and high school are considered the most representative years of youthful energy.

Therefore, in Japan, a country permeated with a mixture of Eastern feudalism and capitalism, various works typically depict women's youth as being between 14 and 19 years old, and this is the reason why.

Compared to Soubu High School, Watanabe Junior High School felt more welcoming to him, a member of the yakuza...

—[Boss, are you a middle school student or a high school student?]

Suddenly, his memory flashed back to Tamura's soul-searching questions, almost sending a chill down his spine.

"These guys..."

Li Xuan became annoyed, thinking to himself.

He looked at the bento box in his hand under the gray sky, and for some reason, even though the method was already beyond the norm, he still wanted to deliver it to Hina as soon as possible.

Dark clouds surged, and the strong winds continued.

Li Xuan carried a lunchbox in one hand and walked towards the teaching building.

He was originally a time traveler in this world.

He understood very well that, in fact, the meaning of "young" was somewhat subtle for him as well.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly was so subtle.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Li Xuan secretly sneaked into the main teaching building to search for the location of Class 3, Grade 1.

After quickly searching, Li Xuan cautiously hid in a dimly lit corner of the stairwell and finally found a classroom marked with the number [1-5].

But despite all precautions, just as Li Xuan was holding a lunch bag and standing by the stairs searching for Chu's figure, a sound came from the stairwell wall behind him.

A slight noise startled Li Xuan, and he turned his head, looking back in surprise.

A short-haired, petite middle school girl, dressed in a summer sailor uniform and quite cute, was carrying a bunch of club boxes as she emerged from an inconspicuous warehouse on the inside.

"Ok?"

The short junior high school girl was slightly taken aback when she bumped into the young man in a suit as soon as she stepped out.

As dusk settled in the stairwell, a cute, short-haired middle school girl unexpectedly encountered a certain yakuza delivery guy...

Chapter 014 A Creature Named "Little Sister"

An unexpected scene unfolded!

The teaching building is rather stuffy and dimly lit. While most students are hiding in the classrooms enjoying the air conditioning, the staff on duty will turn off some of the corridor lights.

Unfortunately, the area under the stairs was poorly lit, so poorly lit that it was difficult to see even the warehouse door next to us.

Li Xuan, a gangster, encounters a female middle school student he has no connection with.

The girl was only about 155cm tall, with short hair, though a single strand of hair always stuck up in her bangs. She was slender, with delicate features, and her petite frame made her the epitome of cuteness. She was carrying a box in both hands, seemingly moving some odds and ends.

Whoosh, the summer wind howled incessantly outside.

Li Xuan remained silent, his eyes hidden behind trendy sunglasses, but his mouth was slightly open as he pondered the question.

"Oh no, will this girl be scared? Will she suddenly scream?!"

Exposure is inevitable, and if the other party screams, he should be prepared to run away.

The confined space, much like the current weather, was overcast and unpredictable, filled with a restless tension yet a desire to savor a moment of tranquility, as if things were about to erupt at any moment...

"Hello..." The quiet moment was finally broken. Just as Li Xuan was about to make his move, the rather cute middle school girl looked at him and said politely without expression, "Sir, excuse me, could you please move aside?"

"..." Li Xuan was already preparing to take a step when he suddenly heard the middle school student say this bland sentence with a blank expression.

He stared blankly at the female middle school student, somewhat unable to react.

This situation is completely different from the scene he imagined.

Just now, a security guard outside the school bumped into him and was so frightened that he fell backward and fainted!

She actually thought he was nothing special?!

"Sir?" The middle school girl looked up at him in confusion and asked again.

"...Oh, sorry." Li Xuan didn't immediately realize his mistake and eventually moved aside.

The middle school girl looked at the older boy who turned his head away from her with a dazed expression. She then realized that he was from outside the school and was much taller than her. His straight body looked very agile in the dim light. Overall, at first glance, he was a very conspicuous person.

Her expression was terrifying, but she was quite pleasing to the eye. Compared to the level of a certain relative of hers, her somewhat unsociable flaws were practically commonplace...

The lovely girl carried the box out, nodded slightly to him, and then carried the things towards another teaching building.

Some things have been strange lately. Why is it that when he interacts with people in a normal way, they are terrified, but when he does bad things, he is treated like an ordinary person?
