I'm here to form a band, what do you want to do!

Because it had just rained, the weather was a little cold. She put on a black coat, and her bright yellow long hair was particularly conspicuous in the dim light.

So why call him out?

Confession?

Don't quite believe it.

The senior is not a person who cares about appearances. Their relationship is a bit strange now, but it has not reached that level yet.

While drinking Coke, Ito Rin saw Hongxia sitting on the chair. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly laughed softly.

The performance was a success, so are you really that happy?

"Junior." she said.

"Ah."

"Your character is so bad."

"what?"

Ito Rin was really confused. Up to now, he had received a lot of comments, but this was the first time someone talked about him like this.

What's wrong with his character!

Even calling him a country bumpkin from Hokkaido would make sense, but this is pure slander!

"Ijichi-senpai, explain the situation to me, or I'll get angry."

Seeing his serious look, Ijichi Hongxia felt very happy.

I had originally planned to confess to him while we were excited about the successful performance, but when I saw how he was drinking the drink, I suddenly changed my mind.

This person has a very bad personality.

Although he was clearly concerned, his facial expression never changed. Moreover, he acted so well in the simulation that he didn't feel guilty at all when he lied.

If you insist on something, you will push forward regardless of other people's opinions.

"I made a decision!"

"Hey?"

Hongxia stood up in high spirits, stretched out her hand and pointed at Ito Rin, looking at him with bright eyes.

"I'm going to expose your disguise and reveal your true face!"

"..."

"You're actually like your sister, a proud and arrogant person. Even if you're happy in your heart, you'll show it with an air of disdain."

"..."

Ito Rin drank Coke and looked at Ijichi Hongka as if she was an idiot.

"It's okay." She opened her arms like a real angel. "I'm the best at dealing with tsunderes."

Ito Rin shook the bottle, threw it into the trash can next to her, and put her hands in her pockets: "Senior, I forgive your offense."

"Eh?"

"If anyone else said this, there would definitely be a quarrel, but now that you say it, I can still barely understand it."

“…Apologize to my sister!”

Ito Rin said lazily: "You misunderstood. I chose to forgive her because she is a beautiful girl, not because the store manager is a tsundere."

"See." Hong Xia took a step forward, "Actually, you're quite good at telling jokes."

"What else? The prim and reserved guy with a cold face and a silent face all day? Or the nerdy guy who only cares about his studies and doesn't understand anything else? These are all stereotypes."

Ito Rin shook her finger and took a step back.

"Want a midnight snack? It's my treat."

Volume 1: Chapter 52: Humans, Fragile Creatures

In front of a convenience store at night, Ito Rin handed the steaming oden in her hand to Hongxia who was squatting at the door.

"Thank you."

Inside the store, which had few customers, news warning about the typhoon was blaring.

"Tokyo will face heavy rain and typhoon weather in the next week. Please pay attention to safety..."

A gust of wind blew in front of the door at just the right moment. Hong Xia tightened her coat and bit the fish balls in small bites.

"Damn it, I actually offered to pay for something."

Ito Rin sat next to her and began to reflect.

However, the money spent was still fleeced from Hongxia, so in the final analysis, there was no loss.

"wait for me."

Hongxia stood up, ran into the convenience store, and came out with the cut watermelon and gave him some.

"Here, here you go."

Does this mean that the repayment is complete?

He really couldn't understand girls' minds.

But there is no reason to refuse the watermelon that comes to your doorstep in summer.

"What does Ito plan to do in the future?"

Ito Rin spat out the watermelon seeds and said nonchalantly, "After graduating from university, become a civil servant or a teacher at a school. Preferably one that doesn't require any responsibility and only requires a salary."

"That's right, you must go to college." Hong Xia thought about it and said, "But your ideal is very similar to Liang's."

"Great minds think alike. Aren't you planning on going to college?"

"Oh, it's not something you can just plan for. My grades aren't great, and I'm busy forming a band, so it wouldn't be surprising if I didn't pass the exam."

"Um……"

Suddenly, a strange noise came from the trash can next to them, and the dazed Hong Xia was startled. Ito Rin looked over, and a gray cat happened to look over as well.

"Meow."

It was not afraid of people. It walked over with a vigorous step, its dark pupils staring at the watermelons in their hands.

"This guy."

Ito Rin shook her head, broke off a small piece of the watermelon in her hand and threw it in front of it.

It lay on the ground, and when Hong Xia reached out to touch it, it just looked up and made an unhappy cry, but did not hide.

"What are you planning to do, Senior?"

"I don't know. I haven't thought it through yet."

After throwing the garbage around her into the trash can, Ito Rin wiped the traces on her hands and looked at the time. If she was any later, she would be hunted down by the store manager.

It's time for some real action.

“Sometimes not knowing isn’t about not thinking clearly, but about not being able to make the choice you want.”

Hong Xia, who was still feeling sentimental, suddenly had a resentful expression: "That's true, I'm not as smart as Liang, I don't have the guitar skills of Pochi-chan, and I'm not as popular as Xiao Xiduo. After all, I'm just an ordinary girl."

Hong Xia regretted it as soon as she said it.

Her relationship with Ito Rin has not reached the point where she would say such things, and he is not aware of what happened in the simulation.

If he complains like this, he will feel stupid, right?

"wrong."

In her surprised and shy eyes, Ito Rin took Hongxia's hand, lifted her up, and spun her around beautifully.

"A senior is a senior. There's no need to compare yourself with others. Just be yourself and that's enough."

“…” She blushed and was speechless.

"But you should go home before the store manager comes after you."

"what?"

Hongxia looked at her cell phone and found that the time was wrong. She cried out, quickly threw away the garbage in her hand, picked up her bag and ran towards home.

Halfway through the run, I turned around and saw Ito Rin sitting back on the steps, reaching out to touch the cat.

When Ito Rin touched the cat until it was about to breathe,

After complaining a few words about how this bastard had better food than him, he patted his butt, picked up the schoolbag next to him, and prepared to run home.

[Dear host, could it be that the pure love you spoke of is actually true? ]

"Or else?"

Before leaving, Ito Rin thought of the typhoon and returned to the convenience store to buy a bag of food.

[Your words and actions don't match up at all. I thought you were a scumbag.]

"Tsk, it's just an illusion, but do I really have a bad personality?"

Ito Rin asked the system to judge for him.

How could he have a bad personality? At best, he just likes to watch the fun. He is the type of person who is naturally polluting and harmless.

【…】

[According to Ms. Hongxia, I think the reserved and flirtatious style is more suitable for you.]

"get out."

Ito Rin was convinced. This unlucky system was even more lethal than Hongxia's.

So, he is not a tsundere.

[Okay, according to calculations, the host is three kilometers away from home. Your current maximum speed is 6 meters per second. Do you want to have an exciting simulation within these eight minutes?]

"I'm an animal? Running back at top speed? Do you have any common sense at all?"

"As for the simulation, I just encountered Soyo, and I'm still traumatized."

Humans are truly fragile creatures.

"..."

Don't speak in such a disappointed tone about carbon-based life.

Running back, Ito Rin had a deeper understanding of the effect of increased physical strength. Although it seemed to be only five points, which was not very high, she already had physical strength that could be considered good.

This made him quite interested in the attribute points in his hands.

"Do you want to increase intelligence or charm?"

"Hey Hey hey?"

"If you're not dead, make a sound."

【throat.】

Ito Rin was silent.

[Of course it increases intelligence. ]

"But I have 8 points of Charm, so the benefit of Charm is greater no matter how you look at it."

[At this level, it is no longer possible to improve intelligence through normal training methods.]

"so?"

Ito Rin could understand this sentence, just like when his physical strength was very poor, he could improve his attributes through daily exercise.

After reaching a certain level, this situation is basically impossible to happen, unless you are in a high-pressure environment, then you can continue to improve through daily exercise.

As for intelligence and charm, there is no trace of them. The current channel seems to rely on adding points.

[Intelligence gains are all positive, but Charisma gains are not necessarily positive.]

"But I put Charisma at 9, maybe I can get it to 10."

[10 points is the limit, the difficulty of improvement will increase exponentially.]
