Problem Girls Strategy

Chapter 5: Jealous Gabriel?

Jiang Zao rubbed his hands excitedly. He was ready to collect the random reward for the task, wondering if he would draw anything good.

I pressed the collect button on the task panel with great anticipation. Countless points of light gathered on the table in the room, and then turned into a gorgeous card with a star pattern printed on it, lying quietly on the table.

Jiang Zao walked forward curiously and picked up the card. Before he could take a closer look, the card in his hand turned into a stream of light and merged into his body, and the system prompt sounded.

"Obtain growth equipment: Star Deck."

Growth equipment?! Earn money!

Jiang Zao clenched his right fist and swung it violently, his joy was beyond words. He didn't expect that the reward for his first mission would be this kind of growing equipment. As everyone knows, there is no bad growing equipment.

Based on the system instructions and his own exploration, Jiang Zao quickly figured out the usage and effects of this equipment.

This set of star cards will randomly draw the abilities in the corresponding commission world according to each commission you complete and print them on a card. You can then use the engraved abilities through the card.

If it is a world without any special abilities, then random imprinting will be performed. This is the case in the world where he completed the commission this time, so random abilities were imprinted.

Jiang Zao's mind moved, and he stretched out his right hand and pulled out a card out of thin air. The ability information on the card naturally poured into his mind. He held the card between two fingers and waved it in front of him. A low mechanical sound rang out of thin air, reading out the name of the ability.

"Contractor"

The card in his hand shattered and turned into starlight that surrounded him. When the light faded, Jiang Zao changed into a black windbreaker with two daggers tied with special silk threads on his waist. A blurry figure with a stern face briefly appeared behind him.

"So that's it, is it just electric discharge?" Jiang Zao raised his hand and muttered to himself as he looked at the flashing electric light on his fingertips.

As the owner of the equipment, he already knew what ability he had extracted. It was the ability of the protagonist "Black" as a contractor in the animation "Black's Contract" - discharge. He also did not need to pay the price for using the ability.

Although Jiang Zao felt a little disappointed that he did not have the ability to manipulate atoms, he was already content that he could gain the corresponding abilities and combat experience by using the cards.

However, this method is quite similar to a magical girl's job card. Thinking of this, Jiang Zao cancelled the use of the card and changed back to his original school uniform.

The commission was completed, the reward was received, and it was time to go check on Gabriel. Thinking that there was a fallen angel waiting for him to save next to his home, Jiang Zao left the campus.

Because he didn't know whether Gabriel had eaten, Jiang Zao bought a lunch box at a convenience store and prepared to bring it to her.

Ding Dong, Ding Dong, Ding Dong

"Hey, Gabriel! Are you awake?" Jiang Zao pressed the doorbell of Gabriel's house and shouted loudly.

Finally, there was movement in the room. Gabriel opened the door with messy hair, dark circles under her eyes and a tired face: "Jiang Zao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"What do you mean I have something to do? I think it's you who has something to do." Jiang Zao looked at Gabriel, who had turned from a perfect angel into a useless person in just one day, with a headache: "You didn't go to school today, did you? And why do you look so weird? Forget it, let me go inside first."

"Ah? Come in? No!" Gabriel suddenly reacted violently, using her body to hold the door tightly to prevent Jiang Zao from pushing it open. How could she let him see the mess in the room!

"Huh? What's your reaction? Is there something shameful in the room?" Jiang Zao's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Absolutely not! It's just that a lady's room cannot be entered by anyone!" Gabriel was still struggling to hold the door open to prevent Jiang Zao from pushing it open.

But Gabriel, who had stayed up all night playing games and had not eaten any proper food until now, had no way of competing with Jiang Zao in strength, even though he had injured one leg.

Gabriel soon collapsed in front of the entrance due to exhaustion, and looked at Jiang Zao with despair as he walked into her home, which now looked like a garbage dump.

It's over. I guess I can't be friends with him anymore after he sees this scene. But it's good this way. No one will care about me anymore and I can stay at home and play games every day, Gabriel thought.

Jiang Zao's imagined disgusted reaction did not appear. He just sighed softly with an expression of "as expected" and handed the lunch box to himself: "You should eat something first. I'll go help you tidy up the room."

"Oh." Gabriel sat there obediently and ate her lunch box silently without making any more noise. She stared at Jiang Zao as he cleaned the house. She felt mixed emotions in her heart. Soon she discovered that Jiang Zao was walking with a limp.

"Jiang Zao, what's wrong with your leg?"

"Oh, this..."

While cleaning, Jiang Zao recounted his story of being brave and righteous. Since his back was turned to Gabriel, he naturally did not see anything. However, when he heard that the gangster had cut him with a knife, Gabriel's eyes were filled with anger.

Actually hurting his own friend! Gabriel even thought about using his magic to teach those hooligans a lesson, and he couldn't help but use the strength of his hands that belonged to an angel.

"what…"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zao turned around and saw the broken chopsticks in Gabriel's hand and couldn't help but complain: "You actually broke them. The quality of these chopsticks is too poor, right?"

Taking out a pair of new chopsticks from the kitchen and handing them to Gabriel, Jiang Zao grabbed the hand that broke the chopsticks and said, "Let me see, are you pricked by the splinters?"

It was the first time that Gabriel was held by Jiang Zao's hand like this. She couldn't help but feel shy. She quickly pulled her hand back and quickly picked up the chopsticks to eat the rice in the lunch box: "I'm not hurt. I want to continue eating. I'm starving. But you, if you're hurt, don't be so stubborn and help me clean up."

"The wound is very shallow and will heal quickly."

Jiang Zao continued to help Gabriel clean up. While she finished her lunch, she also cleaned the room. She went out and threw all the garbage into the trash can. Jiang Zao came back and sat down in front of the small tea table, folding his arms as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

"Tell me, why did it become like this in just one day?"

Facing Jiang Zao's stern face, Gabriel knelt down and guiltily explained the reason for his downfall.

At first, she started playing because she was curious about the online games on Jiang Zao's computer, and then she became addicted to it. In just a few days, she became a game addict, spending all day either playing games or surfing the Internet intensively. She even spent all her living expenses for this month on games.

Is it because of me that I got in touch with online games?

Jiang Zao seemed to see a big round pot falling on his head. He didn't expect that no matter how hard he tried, he could never prevent a thief from roaming his own home. The game that was originally just used to kill time actually became the source of Gabriel's downfall. He went back and uninstalled that money-grubbing game!

Jiang Zao, who thought he had to take a lot of responsibility, said to the uneasy Gabriel, "I am also responsible for your becoming like this. You can come to my house for dinner this month, but if you spend all your living expenses on krypton gold again next month, I will not care about you."

"Jiang Zao, you are indeed an angel." Gabriel looked at Jiang Zao with gratitude for solving her eating problem.

No, you are the real angel.

Jiang Zao rolled his eyes at Gabriel and said unhappily, "You have to go to school tomorrow. I will prepare your lunch box. Come to the Problem Child Response Department to find me during lunch break. Goto and I will eat together and learn guitar at the same time."

"Goto-san? Is that the girl you saved?"

"Yes, let me tell you, although he is not good at talking to people, he still insists on coming to school every day." Jiang Zao tried to use Pochi's "inspirational" school story to encourage Gabriel to go to school every day and not stay at home and be a game loser.

"Eh~" Gabriel sighed with an ambiguous meaning. She felt a little unhappy when she heard Jiang Zao staying with another girl during lunch break. Looking at Jiang Zao who was still trying to persuade her to go to school, her unhappy mood gradually turned into irritability. Her irritability turned into actual action. She drove him out of her house and said angrily, "If you make lunch boxes for me every day, I will go to school every day."

Jiang Zao pondered for a while after hearing her angry words, and felt that it was not impossible. It didn't take much time to make this anyway. He could just stir-fry a few dishes, separate them and let them cool, then put them in the refrigerator after they were assembled. He could take them directly to school the next day and heat them up in the microwave at the Countermeasures Department. He didn't have to make a Japanese bento, so he didn't have to worry about the taste.

Here I have to praise my immediate boss, the god, for the decoration of the club's office. Although it is laid out as a conference room, it has everything you need, including microwave ovens, refrigerators, and sofas. As long as Jiang Zao wants, he can live in it.

Seeing a glimmer of hope to complete the task, Jiang Zao decided to do as Gabriel asked and avoid the punishment at all costs!

Gabriel had long forgotten her angry words. The next morning, she stared in amazement at Jiang Zao, who was standing at the door with a lunch box in his hand and a guitar on his back, smiling. She whispered something that sounded like a devil to her: "Let's go to school."

Chapter 6 Gabriel: There is something wrong with these two people

Jiang Zao actually took his angry words seriously. Although Gabriel kept complaining, deep down, she was secretly happy that Jiang Zao valued her so much. She obediently changed into her school uniform and went to school with him.

Gabriel's long golden hair looked very messy because her owner didn't take good care of it. Jiang Zao had no intention of forcing her to comb her hair again. After all, the fact that this fallen angel was willing to go to school with him was already a huge progress.

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.

I don’t know how many difficulties he will have to face to successfully reverse Gabriel’s depravity, but Jiang Zao has already prepared himself for a long struggle. Now he is fearless!

"Ah!" Not long after the two separated in the corridor, Gabriel remembered that he had not yet asked Jiang Zao why he suddenly wanted to learn guitar.

"Tsk, let's ask when we meet at noon." Gabriel, feeling inexplicably annoyed, scratched his head and walked into the classroom.

"Gabriel, what a surprise, you actually came to school." The girl with short purple hair greeted Gabriel in surprise. After all, her good friend had told her on the chat software yesterday that she would stay in her room and play games instead of going to school.

"You're so nagging, Vinay." Gabriel sighed and lay down on her seat, not wanting to move. Did she come here voluntarily? Not at all! If she couldn't really tell Jiang Zao "I was just angry, you don't have to take it seriously", she wouldn't come to school to attend classes. Wouldn't it be nice to play games at home?

"My name is Vinate! Not Vina. Don't just omit a letter from someone else's name." Vinate was not angry. She was gentle and just said in a complaining tone, "She is obviously an angel."

"Actually, I think Fallen Angel sounds pretty cool lately."

"Wow, are you really a graduate of Angel School?" Vinate was speechless. Wasn't what this angel said becoming more and more unworthy of her identity?

"Would you like to have lunch together?"

Facing Vinate's invitation, Gabriel directly refused: "Sorry, I want to have dinner with someone else."

"Huh? So you have other friends in this school?" Vinate covered her mouth in surprise.

"How rude! Do I look like someone who doesn't even have friends?"

"As someone who declared that he would not go to school on the second day of school, I don't think it's possible for you to have friends at school other than me."

"Tsk." Gabriel smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. If she hadn't met Jiang Zao, she would have no friends in school except Vinate. No, isn't there still Raphael? No, no, no, can that guy really be considered a friend with such a bad personality?

Seeing Gabriel remained silent, Vinate, thinking she had hit the mark, took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears from her eyes: "It's okay not to have dinner with your imaginary friends, Gabriel."

"I don't have that kind of imaginary friend. I have a real person." Gabriel said angrily.

"Really?" Vinate was a little suspicious.

"real."

"Then take me to see him."

"No, it will be so troublesome to introduce you to others." Gabriel rejected Vinate's request without thinking. She subconsciously didn't want to introduce other girls to Jiang Zao.

"Oh, well, then I'll have lunch with Satania."

"Oh wow!" Satania, who had been eavesdropping on the side, immediately came over to the two of them and laughed triumphantly, "It's your honor to have lunch with the great demon Satania, Vinate."

"Sorry, I'd better eat it alone." Vinate changed the topic expressionlessly.

"Hey, why? Didn't we agree to have lunch together?" Satania was immediately dumbfounded and anxiously grabbed Vinate's hand and shook it violently.

"Okay, okay, stop holding my hand and swinging it around. I'll just accompany you to have lunch." Vinate couldn't resist Satania's nagging and finally gave in.

The bell rang for class, and the two finally returned to their seats. Gabriel placed the book upright in front of her and prepared to sleep until lunch break. She was very sleepy after staying up late playing games yesterday.

"Gabriel, Gabriel, wake up, it's time for lunch break."

"Ah~ Thank you, Vinate. I'm leaving now." Gabriel stretched and stood up.

"Is it really okay?" Seeing Gabriel leaving the classroom with sleepy eyes and yawning, Vinate said worriedly.

Satania, who couldn't wait any longer, pushed the tables together and said, "Vinate, come and eat. Today, I'll let you see the big devil's lunch!"

“Here I come.” Vinate collected her thoughts, took out her lunch box and prepared to eat.

On the other side, Gabriel found the Problem Children Response Department that Jiang Zao mentioned. Hearing his voice coming from inside, he pushed open the door and said, "Jiang Zao, I'm here."

"Ah!" Goto Ichiri was frightened by the rude way Gabriel opened the door, and the lunch box in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"Your lunch box has been heated up for you. Come and eat." Jiang Zao said, pointing to the lunch box on the table.

Gabriel was not polite either. She was already starving on the way here, so she picked up the lunch box and wolfed down the food. Jiang Zao shook his head, while Goto Ichiri looked at Gabriel timidly with curiosity. For some reason, there was an inexplicable aura about this girl that made her feel a little bit of favor.

If Jiang Zao knew about this, he would definitely complain that one of you stays at home playing games all day, and the other has severe social anxiety and basically never goes out except for school. If there is anything in common between you, it must be that you stay at home.

After the meal, Jiang Zao formally introduced the two to each other. Seeing that there was still some time left before lunch break, he took out his newly bought guitar and prepared to learn with Pochi-chan.

Seeing Jiang Zao holding the guitar, Goto Ichiri suddenly became excited and even forgot about Gabriel, an outsider, and excitedly taught Jiang Zao how to play the guitar step by step.

Gabriel's eyebrows twitched. Seeing a girl who had only known Jiang Zao for a day or two teaching him so closely, she felt jealous. But both of them looked as if it was a matter of course, so she couldn't get angry. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and watched the two of them playing guitar together.

What she didn't know was that these two people were actually very panicked.

Although Goto Ichiri treats Jiang Zao as her boyfriend, she is actually not used to being taught by a boy step by step. However, it is said that teaching this way is more efficient. Besides, Jiang Zao is her boyfriend, so there is nothing wrong with couples being a little intimate.

Jiang Zao was just trying hard to maintain a calm expression on her face. Goto Ichiri was wearing sportswear and had a hunched back so Gabriel didn't notice that she was actually super sexy. Now those two breasts were firmly attached to his back, and the girl's faint body fragrance was constantly arousing his nerves.

At the beginning, both of them suppressed their inner panic and one taught while the other learned. Jiang Zao's strong learning talent allowed him to quickly get into the state and no longer be disturbed. Seeing her boyfriend's rapid progress, Goto Ichiri taught more seriously, and for a while, both of them put aside the distracting thoughts in their hearts.

By the end of the lunch break, Jiang Zao had already gotten started with guitar, which made Goto Ichiri exclaim: "Mr. Jiang might be a guitar genius."

"Since we are already in this relationship (guitar tutoring), is there any need to be so distant?"

"Ah... that's right. Then what about Jiang Zao?"

"Well, can I call you Pochi-chan?" Jiang Zao took the opportunity to make a somewhat presumptuous request.

"Ah... sure." Goto Ichiri didn't care and was even a little happy. Is this an intimate name between lovers?

"You two, aren't you planning on going back to class?" Gabriel couldn't stand the atmosphere between the two people who seemed normal but always made her feel something was wrong, so she spoke up.

"Just leave the guitar here. You can come and get it after school."

"Ah."

Gabriel, who had just broken the delicate atmosphere between the two, remembered that they were classmates, and her mood became even worse.

Chapter 7 Ending Band (Please collect)

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since the start of the school year. Goto Ichiri's daily life is no longer a straight line between school and home. During the lunch break at school, she would go to the Problem Children's Affairs Department to kiss and chat with her boyfriend (actually she was just practicing guitar and chatting with Jiang Zao). Her interpersonal relationships have also changed in ways she would never have dared to imagine before.

In her first year of high school, she successfully found a boyfriend (although this boyfriend himself is still unaware of his new identity). In the past, when she saw messages showing affection under the videos she posted on her social media accounts, the sour smell of youth would make Goto Ichiri grit her teeth in anger. But now, she is no longer shaken by these messages because she also has a boyfriend!
