Problem Girls Strategy

"She won't cause trouble for Jiang Zao, right?"

"Let's follow quickly!"

Jiang Zao was sitting leisurely in the hall drinking freshly brewed coffee. The sound of hurried footsteps, as if he was venting his anger with his feet, came from far to near in the corridor. Miyake Hinata rushed over, grabbed his clothes without saying a word, and took him away.

"Jiang Zao, change your clothes and come out with me. I have something to tell you."

Although the anger in his chest was on the verge of exploding, Miyake Hinata still maintained some rationality. He did not grab Jiang Zao's collar and yell at him for meddling in other people's business in the base. Instead, he chose to avoid the others and drag him outside the base for a confrontation.

Hinata Miyake found a remote corner of the base and stopped. He glared at Jiang Zao with anger in his pupils, and his tone was as calm as a volcano before it erupted: "You told Houze and the others about me. Are you sympathizing with me!?"

"I'm not sympathizing with you, I just can't stand what those people did." Jiang Zao sneered, and his words revealed his contempt for the three people who claimed to be Miyake Hinata's friends.

Jiang Zao's words made Miyake Hinata's mind flash with very unpleasant images. He clenched and unclenched his fists tightly, repeating the process over and over again. The two fell into silence, standing there looking at each other.

From a common person's perspective, there is nothing wrong with what he did, and I can't take my anger out on him.

Hinata Miyake took some time to calm himself down, said "thank you" to Jiang Zao with a complicated expression, and then left with heavy steps.

"Three of you over there, have you eavesdropped enough?" Jiang Zao shouted twice towards a pile of snow: "It's best to take this opportunity to ask Miyake about her past."

Two black and one brown hair emerged from behind the snow pile. Shiraishi Yuzuki only had time to bend down and thank Jiang Zao before she was pulled away by the anxious Tamaki Mari and ran in the direction where Miyake Hinata had left before.

Jiang Zao watched them leave, and then shouted to the nearby base wall: "Hui, you come out too."

"Your senses are still so sharp. It's obvious that other people can easily ignore my presence." Kato Megumi, who was asked by the other girls to come out to check the situation, walked out slowly.

"Without this ability, how can I help you solve the problem of your lack of presence? Why did the others ask you to come out and investigate the situation?"

"Well, now that the mission is complete, I'm going to go back and report."

"Then remember to tell the others to come and support Miyake-san during the New Year's Eve live broadcast."

Kato Megumi said with emotion: "You are really gentle."

Just when Jiang Zao was being praised by Kato Megumi, Tamaki Mari and the other three followed Miyake Hinata all the way back to her room and finally heard her story about her high school days.

The three girls who came to the test live broadcast were Hinata Miyake's former friends in the track and field club. As the senior students were about to graduate from high school, the track and field club teacher notified them that they would select the best players in each event to participate in the competition.

At this time, Hinata Miyake is competing with the senior who is about to graduate for the only spot in the competition. She asks her friends whether she should let her senior go and fulfill her long-cherished wish. However, her friends advise her not to let her go and that she should face her senior with all her strength so that she will not feel regretful even if she fails.

Hinata Miyake listened to her friend and tried her best in the selection, successfully obtaining a spot to participate in the competition. When she excitedly turned around to share this joy with her friends, she found that the members behind her were looking at her with disbelief, disgust and disdain, and no one cheered for her at all.

Afterwards, Hinata Miyake heard that when her three friends were questioned harshly by the senior high school girl, they put all the blame on her alone.

"I, we have already persuaded Miyake as you said."

"Who knew she had no idea of ​​the ways of the world."

"Yes, yes. I have advised her many times, but she just refuses to give up her place in this competition."

At that moment, Hinata Miyake felt that nothing mattered anymore. She was devastated by her two-faced friend and chose to quit the track and field club. After that, those three people even started spreading all kinds of rumors about her in order to avoid being blamed by the seniors. Hinata Miyake, who couldn't stay in that atmosphere, finally chose to drop out of school.

"What's the big deal? It's obviously all their fault!" Kobuchizawa Baosuke clenched his fists and had already made the decision in his heart.

"Can such a person be called a friend?"

"correct."

......

"Yes, I think it's too early for Houze to go to the inland base to carry out reconstruction work."

"That's right... After all, that's where Takako disappeared."

In the data room, Gin Todo and Kanae Maekawa were sorting out data while discussing future work arrangements. Both were hesitant about whether to carry out the inland base reconstruction plan.

That was the sad place for Kobuchizawa Housuke, and also the sad place for the entire Antarctic scientific expedition team.

"Do you want to watch their live broadcast before the New Year?"

"I will."

Chapter 207: Getting rid of the label of being the funny guy

"Jiang Zao, did she have a good meal over there?"

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I'm here and I won't let Pochi-chan go hungry."

"Brother-in-law, I can't take any pictures of penguins. Can you take some pictures for me?"

"No problem, but Erli needs to study hard."

"I will!"

"Then we won't continue to take up your time. You guys take care of yourselves over there."

"Well, thank you for your concern, father-in-law."

Today is the day of the New Year's Eve live broadcast. Before the live broadcast officially began, Jiang Zao reported safety to Goto Ichiri's family. He wanted to bring his girlfriend along, but unfortunately, as soon as Goto Ichiri was pointed at by the camera, she immediately decomposed into pink dust and dissipated on the spot, making it impossible for them to appear on the camera together.

Jiang Zao glanced at the three "friends" of Miyake Hinata standing not far away on the TV screen. He turned his head and gave a wink to Kobuchizawa Hosase, then left the camera. She had already told Jiang Zao her thoughts and she immediately understood what he meant. She walked to the camera, which she had never been prepared to face, with a determined expression.

"Excuse me, could you please stop bothering Hinata Miyake?"

The three girls in the picture looked at the black-haired girl on the screen in confusion when they heard the name. They didn't know this person at all. How could she dare to say such a thing?

"Haose?!" Hinata Miyake was still hesitating whether to choose to forgive them during this live broadcast. She never expected that Kobuchizawa Haose would do this.

"Hinata suffered so much and chose to drop out of school because of you. You probably think she cries every day thinking about the track and field club."

"Hinata is not that kind of person!" As Hinata Miyake's gaming partner in the Antarctic base, Irisuo Makina slammed the table and shouted angrily: "She plays games with me happily every day, you damn bunch of uh uh uh..."

Suoh Tenon hurriedly covered Irisou Shicai's mouth and pressed the words that needed to be silenced back into her mouth: "Well, you have expressed the idea that Miyake-san is not troubled by the past."

"Hinata has taken a step forward with us and arrived at the South Pole!" Mari Tamaki, one of the hosts responsible for the report, stood up and held the table to support Irisou Shicai's statement.

"Hey..." Hinata Miyake was worried that the New Year's Eve live broadcast might become awkward if it continued like this, and tried to stop Kobuchizawa from speaking, but her legs didn't move at all.

Do I really want to choose to forgive them?

This thought kept circling in her mind.

Shiraishi Yuzuki ran to her and hugged her tightly: "That's good, this is friendship!"

"I'm different from Hinata. I have a bad personality, so I'll just say it straight. You'll have to live with guilt for the rest of your life. This is the price of hurting my friend." Kobuchizawa Houze's eyes were filled with anger and contempt. He faced the camera fearlessly: "You still want to come here and ask for peace of mind after all this? Don't be ridiculous!"

"Well said, Kobuchizawa-kun!"

"I thought you were the one responsible for making jokes, but I didn't expect you could say such cool things."

The other girls who came to watch the live broadcast began to applaud and denounce the three "friends".

Although only Kobuchizawa Housase was in the camera, the voices of the others were clearly heard through the loudspeakers. The three people whose thoughts were exposed had no face to stay in the live broadcast venue and left in disgrace.

Hinata Miyake collapsed in Shiraishi Yuzuki's arms and cried. Jiang Zao walked over to Kobuchizawa Houze and high-fived her to celebrate: "Kobuchizawa-san, congratulations on getting rid of the stereotype of being the comedian."

"I, I'm not the one who's responsible for being funny. I'm just not used to being in front of the camera." Kobuchizawa Hosase said these words guiltily and unconvincingly.

Takako Obuchizawa was very pleased with her daughter's performance. After losing her mother's company, she still grew up to be a strong and kind child.

Fujido Gin, who was watching everything happen silently, was also relieved. She was originally worried that Kobuchizawa Housei would not be able to face the inland base directly, but she found out that she was worrying too much. In fact, she was the one who was afraid to look up and face the facts.

Fujido Gin stood up and left with a smile on his face, and whispered to Maekawa Kanae: "Start preparing the exploration plan."

"Ah."

After the live broadcast ended, Hinata Miyake took the initiative to find Jiang Zao and went to the place where the two had confronted each other before.

"Thank you, Jiang Zao." Hinata Miyake lowered her head, put her hands behind her back, and kicked the snow on the ground with her toes. She didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Zao, after all, she had treated him very badly before.

"I only contributed a small amount, but my contribution is not as great as that of Houze's speech."

"You are too modest." Hinata Miyake knew very well that if Jiang Zao hadn't reminded them, Kobuchizawa Housuke and the others would not have checked the email, let alone known about their past.

After hesitating for a while, Miyake Hinata felt that this was not like himself. He took a deep breath, turned around and bowed to Jiang Zao, closed his eyes and asked nervously, "Please let me study at Mihama Academy!"

Jiang Zao quickly helped her up and explained to her with a smile: "Miyake, you must have misunderstood something. I am not the person in charge of Mihama Academy. At most, I know the principal, but I don't have the right to let you enroll directly. The entrance examination is inevitable."

"I am very confident about my grades. They will definitely not be bad."

"That's good. Come to school to take the test after you return from Antarctica. I will tell the principal."

"Ok!"

The two returned to the base, and Jiang Zao was immediately surrounded by the other girls.

"Jiang Zao, what did you whisper outside?"

"Was Miyake-san secretly confessing his feelings to you?"

"Wow, he confessed to you even though he knew you had a girlfriend. How bold!"

The girls did not deliberately lower the volume of their questions, and Hinata Miyake heard them clearly. Facing the meaningful looks of her other three close friends, she blushed and loudly explained: "Raphael, don't make random guesses, I just told Jiang Zao that I plan to attend Mihama Academy!"

"Really!? That's great, Hinata, congratulations!" Mari Tamaki immediately sent her blessings.

Just as everyone was eating New Year's Eve soba, Fujido Gin announced something in public.

"After the New Year, we will begin the re-exploration and reconstruction of our inland bases."

Kobuchizawa Hosase's chopsticks holding the noodles were suspended in mid-air, and he didn't even notice the noodles falling back into the bowl.

The inland base...that's where Mom disappeared.

To this day, she is still reluctant to use words like passed away or death, because she feels that her mother was just conducting a three-year scientific expedition in Antarctica and did not return home.

Chapter 208: Treasure at the End

Regarding the exploration of the inland base, Fujido Gin found Kobuchizawa Housuke and offered to let her go with him. Kobuchizawa Housuke hesitated for a while, but finally, after being persuaded by Tamaki Mari and others, she made up her mind and agreed to join the exploration team.

She wanted to reach the last place her mother had been and see the sights she had seen.

Takako Obuchizawa, who goes by the pseudonym Ms. Ozawa, and Jiang Zao were naturally also in the exploration team. She looked at her daughter who was laughing and playing with her companions in the snow during the exploration break, and she breathed heavily with excitement. The dry and cold wind that pierced her lungs like needles forced her to calm down.

Jiang Zao stood beside her and reminded her, "Ms. Xiaoze, don't expose yourself before the finish line."

"I understand, Mr. Jiang Zao. I'm just a little excited at the thought of getting closer and closer to there."

"It must be a great surprise for you to witness your daughter's growth along the way, right?"

"Yeah..." Takako Kobuchizawa was full of gratitude to Jiang Zao and Nymph. If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have the chance to live and secretly watch over her daughter: "If you didn't have a girlfriend, I really want Houze to marry you."

"Ahem, Ms. Ozawa, I think you'd better not think like that. Given her personality, she might think that I'm threatening you to do this, and she might even kill me."

"Haha, that's really a pity."

The snowmobile carrying the exploration team rolled its steel tracks over the snow, and the traces left behind would soon be buried by snowflakes again. Halfway through the scheduled journey, the in-vehicle broadcast received a reminder from the scientific research base that the wind would become very strong, so the snowmobile had to stop and prepare for response.

At night, looking at the snowflakes flying through the car window as fast as knives, Takako Kobuchizawa couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

That day...it seemed to be the same weather. Now that I think about it, I was so stupid that I went crazy.

After a night of repair, the snowmobile carried everyone to the inland base eroded by wind and snow in the afternoon of the second day after setting out from the base. Kobuchizawa Housawa staggered out of the car and looked at the dilapidated base buildings. She could feel the pain, confusion and sadness of the scientific expedition team when they evacuated from this scenery.

Despite this, there was not even the slightest ripple in Kobuchizawa Housuke's heart. He felt neither the joy of reaching the end, nor the sadness. He just stood there staring ahead with emptiness.

I have reached the end of this journey, but... now what?

Mom will never come back.

"It shouldn't be like this!" Mari Tamaki felt bad for her expressionless friend. She pulled Shiraishi Yuzuki, Miyake Hinata and Fujido Gin together to find out where the inland base used to store items. Then she grabbed an oil lamp and rushed over desperately.

"Xiao Li!" Xiao Yuanze Baosai anxiously followed them away.

"Captain Fujido, Ms. Ozawa and I will follow them to ensure their safety."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you two."

Mari Tamaki was searching around in the dim base with the other two people, holding an oil lamp.

"Xiao Li, Hinata, Yuzuki, forget it. It's been three years. How can we possibly find the things that mom left behind?"

"That's impossible to say!"

"Well, think about it from another perspective. No one has been here in three years."

"Don't give up easily."

The three of them separated at the corner and continued searching among the debris with the dim light of an oil lamp.

"Xiao Li!" Shiraishi Yuzuki's surprised cry made Tamaki Mari put down the box in her hand and ran over with Miyake Hinata.
