Problem Girls Strategy

"No, it just smells a bit like the takeout I ordered before."

"Hey, then I'll take it as a compliment."

"Of course it's a compliment. It smells really good."

"I asked Jiang Zao about this dish before and made some minor improvements. It seems to be done correctly."

Jiang Zao picked up the food with chopsticks: "Yumiko, do you want to eat something?"

Yumiko Sakaki hesitated for a moment, then quickly glanced around the classroom to make sure no one was looking in her direction. She nodded slightly and opened her mouth: "Yeah."

"Here, how does it taste?"

"It tastes better than takeout. Tianyin's cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Thank you for the compliment. We have prepared a lot of dishes for today. Would you like to eat together?" Suoh Tenon dragged the chair next to her and invited Sakaki Yumiko to eat together.

"But I already bought instant noodles..."

"Hey, stop eating those unhealthy fast foods every day. Is it because the food I cook is not delicious?"

"Well, thank you for the treat."

Sakaki-san, you must have got the wrong script. Why are you having dinner so happily with your love rival?

Utaha Kasumigaoka felt like she bought a ticket for a romance movie, walked into the cinema, and saw a movie that had nothing to do with love. Then she picked up the ticket and saw that it said "Romeo and Juliet vs. Zombies".

It feels like the pain of a phantom limb that doesn't exist, as if you've been cheated.

Kasumigaoka Utaha decided to see when Yumiko Sakaki would realize that she was being poached by her friends.

It couldn't be the day when Jiang Zao was snatched away...

Chapter 119 Transparent World

After class, Ruchao Shicai hung on Jiang Zao like a koala, pouting her pink lips and begging him: "Brother, brother, tell me a story."

Jiang Zao held her tender buttocks with his hands to prevent her from falling, then he pulled out a chair and sat firmly. Ruchao Shicai sat astride his thighs, rubbing her cheek, as white as a freshly peeled egg, against Jiang Zao's face, as if she would keep rubbing against him until class started as long as he didn't tell her a story.

"I'm not a storyteller, so where do I get so many stories to tell?"

"Please, tell me one more, just one." Ruchao Shicai looked at Jiang Zao pitifully with her watery eyes.

Jiang Zao grabbed her chubby face and rubbed it for a while before starting to tell a story: "In a certain world, there is a strange phenomenon. The reason for its occurrence is unknown and it only occurs in teenagers. The effects of the phenomenon vary from person to person."

"It's called - Puberty Syndrome."

"The protagonist of the story is a big star named Sakurajima Mai. She entered the entertainment industry as a child star at the age of six. Her acting career has been on the rise ever since, but she chose to stop her acting career at the peak of her popularity."

"The reason is because of the busy performing activities and the difficulty in adapting to normal school life."

"Huh? Shouldn't big stars be more popular in school?" Matsushima was puzzled. Isn't it a good thing to be popular in school? Why can't he get used to it? He really doesn't understand.

"Matsushima-san, it is precisely because of her status as a big star that she is more likely to be praised too highly and isolated in school, right?" Kasumigaoka Utaha is just a little-known light novel writer, and she has to be careful to conceal her identity in school, not to mention Sakurajima Mai whose identity is already known to everyone. It is extremely difficult to balance both student status and professional work.

"makes sense."

Seeing that the girls stopped discussing and looked at him quietly, Jiang Zao cleared his throat: "Ahem, then I will continue."

"One day, Sakurajima Mai suddenly had the idea that she didn't want to be stared at or observed by others, so puberty syndrome happened to her, and Sakurajima Mai found that she was gradually unable to be noticed by others."

The girls all had a strong sense of déjà vu when they heard this.

This is definitely a story based on Kato-san, right?

"At first, it was the classmates who didn't interact with Mai Sakurajima, and then it was passers-by on the street. The influence of puberty syndrome became greater and greater as time went by. Even the cashier ignored Mai Sakurajima when she went shopping, treating her and the items in her hands as transparent air."

"There's absolutely no solution to this, right?" Eriri thought about what it would be like if she was ignored by the whole world. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She hugged herself and rubbed her arms: "Just thinking about it makes me feel desperate."

"Well, it's not as bad as you think. Sakurajima Mai later met a boy who could observe her. With his unremitting efforts, he successfully solved her puberty syndrome. Sakurajima Mai then returned to the entertainment industry and dated that boy."

"Why is the ending so rushed? It's like a light novel with a hasty and bad ending." Kasumigaoka Utaha was fascinated by the story. She felt that the story had just begun, but it was forcibly ended by Jiang Zao. She asked in a resentful tone: "Could Jiang Zao have run out of ideas?"

This is not my original story. It would take at least ten days or half a month to tell the whole story, not to mention that I can hardly remember the content of the original work.

Jiang Zao spread his hands helplessly: "It's just a short story that I heard from others, but it's not my original story."

"Oh? A real friend?"

“No, it’s an online friend.”

I believe you!

Ying Lili rolled her eyes quietly. She still remembered how Jiang Zao tricked her into crying using the lie told by netizens. This story was definitely made up by Jiang Zao on the spur of the moment. He just didn't want to be pestered about the follow-up so he ended it in a hurry.

It’s a pity that such a good story was wasted. If it could be written in detail, it would have been a best-selling light novel, right?

"Didn't that netizen say how the male protagonist helped Sakurajima Mai solve her puberty syndrome?" Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't care who originally wrote the story, she just wants to know the details of the follow-up.

Jiang Zao thought about it and only remembered the hero's confession scene. The rest of his memories were already blurry: "The hero rushed to the school playground during the exam and confessed to Sakurajima Mai facing the teaching building. His voice was so loud that it alarmed everyone, and that solved the problem."

"So simple? No..." Kasumigaoka Uta frowned and muttered to herself, "Is this an attempt to break the atmosphere of Mai Sakurajima being ignored in the school, and directly put her in the most conspicuous position, so that people have to be aware of her existence again?"

"Mr. Jiang Zao, your story is really wonderful." Kasumigaoka Utaha had to admit that if Jiang Zao tried to write a light novel, the work might become a hit.

It's a pity that such an excellent person is a cheating scumbag.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed in her heart. Jiang Zao's excellence was indeed dazzling, but for a girl like her, the fact of cheating was enough to overshadow all her advantages.

Jiang Zao is a scumbag, but it does not stop Kasumigaoka Utaha from continuing to observe. She suddenly feels that it seems interesting to write a light novel in which the heroine falls in love with the scumbag hero, and finally the two get married after many twists and turns. The almost exhausted soil of inspiration is instantly moistened by this idea like rain.

Kato Megumi: "Jiang Zao, could you please come to the garden during lunch break?"

Jiang Zao: "No problem, what's the matter?"

Kato Hui: "You promised before that you would solve a problem for me, remember?"

Jiang Zao: "Of course I remember."

Kato Megumi: "I want to ask you to help me solve a problem. Let's meet during lunch break."

Jiang Zao: "Okay."

Kato Megumi put away her phone and sat quietly in her seat, holding her cheeks with her hands and looking at the clear blue sky outside the classroom window. After listening to Jiang Zao's story during class, she felt a little nervous about her gradually diminishing sense of existence. She even felt that Jiang Zao was using this story to remind her that she must take this situation seriously, otherwise it would develop into a situation like Sakurajima Mai and it would be irreversible.

If Jiang Zao is able to proactively realize my existence, he should be able to solve this problem.

Kato Megumi recalled the time she accidentally saw Jiang Zao's ability to take out objects out of thin air, and she became more confident in him.

Chapter 120: Is long hair your interest?

In the garden, the afternoon sun shines through the sparse clouds and softly shines on every green leaf, shrouding the entire garden in a faint golden halo.

The autumn flowers sway gently in the breeze, emitting waves of intoxicating fragrance.

Kato Megumi stood quietly by the fountain, her black gemstone eyes watching the ups and downs of the water at the top of the fountain, wondering what she was thinking.

Jiang Zao came to the garden, took a look at her slender, straight, white legs in socks, and took the initiative to greet her: "Kato classmate, I'm here."

"So you can notice me even when I'm not talking." Kato Hui turned and looked towards the entrance, testing whether Jiang Zao could notice her: "Sure enough, Jiang Zao-san is a little different from the others."

"Kato-san, you're joking. I'm just an ordinary person."

How can ordinary people produce something out of thin air?

Kato Megumi originally didn't believe that there were supernatural phenomena in this world, until she saw Jiang Zao taking objects out of the air, this idea was easily shattered.

Since she wanted Jiang Zao's help, Kato Megumi was prepared to confess to him. Based on her observations during this period, Jiang Zao was not the type of person who acted recklessly by relying on his special abilities. If it weren't for her weak presence, she would definitely not have discovered his identity as a person with super powers.

Jiang Zao has always interacted with them as an ordinary person. Although his relationship with some girls is somewhat contrary to social common sense, they don't mind it, and Kato Megumi won't say much. She is also a normal adolescent girl. She has seen Jiang Zao and them doing things in Mihama Academy many times, and she can't help but feel a little curious.

Is that kind of thing really that comfortable?

Kato Hui suppressed the temptation in her heart, tucked her hair behind her ears and said to Jiang Zao, "I want Jiang Zao to help me solve the problem of my weak sense of existence, is that okay?"

"No problem." How could Jiang Zao disagree? It was one of his to-do items. Now that Kato Hui took the initiative to bring it up, it was exactly what he wanted. Jiang Zao patted his chest confidently and said, "Leave it to me."

Kato Hui put her hands in front of her, bent down and thanked Jiang Zao: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We made a promise to each other, and it's my duty to help you solve the problem."

"Don't worry, Jiang Zao, I won't tell anyone that you have super powers."

"Hmm?" Jiang Zao blinked in confusion: "What superpower?"

"I saw you pull something out of thin air."

Jiang Zao raised his eyebrows. It turned out that Kato Megumi saw him using the storage space. No wonder she mistook him for a person with super powers.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zao put on a sinister smile, stuck out his tongue to lick his lips, and laughed strangely: "Mr. Kato, you exposed my identity like this, aren't you afraid that I will kill you to silence you?"

"Do you want to see my scared expression?" Kato Hui remained calm and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't think you are a bad person, so I feel relieved."

"Oh, Kato-san, you make me look stupid." Jiang Zao scratched his head with a wry smile. It seemed that he couldn't use such a simple method to tease Sheng Renhui.

"Sorry, I will cooperate with you next time."

"No, it would be too unfulfilling to ask you to cooperate."

"Does Jiang Zao like to tease girls?"

"I don't tease every girl..."

"Do you only tease girls you like? For example, Iruo-san and Komine-san."

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Zao's face, his mouth slightly opened, as if he had forgotten to close it: "Ka, Kato, how did you know..."

When asked this question, Kato Megumi could no longer keep a calm expression. An unnatural blush flashed across her face. She dodged her gaze and whispered, "I saw...you...that...is..."

Kato Megumi hesitated for a long time and didn't finish her words. Seeing her expression, Jiang Zao realized that she was probably seen by her when she was having a gun fight with the girls at school.

"I understand now." Even Jiang Zao, who was thick-skinned, felt his face burning and hurriedly stopped her: "Kato, you don't have to say anything more."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Zao took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Kato, you didn't tell anyone about this, did you?"

"No, I've talked to Kazama-san and promised her that I wouldn't reveal these things on my own initiative."

Jiang Zao was surprised that Kazama Ichiki had never told him about this, but he still thanked Kato Megumi: "Well...thank you for your understanding."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Regarding my weak sense of presence, Jiang Zao, do you have any good solution?"

"Kato-san also heard the story I told you today, right?"

"Ah."

Jiang Zao suggested to her: "How about trying the method used by the male protagonist for now?"

"Ah?" Kato Megumi's calm expression could no longer be maintained, her fair face suddenly turned bright red, and her hands behind her back were clenched tightly together.

Are you going to confess to me directly in front of all the students in the school? Wouldn't that be a bit too radical?

And...we're not in a relationship where we like each other, or has Jiang Zao actually been eyeing me for a long time, so he said that?

Do I look like the type of girl who would easily agree to someone's confession?

Seeing that Kato Hui remained silent, Jiang Zao knew that she must have thought wrongly, and quickly explained: "It's not a confession, it's a way to make you more conspicuous and make it impossible for others to ignore you."

"So that's how it is..." Kato Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the blush on her face faded a lot: "If you really want to confess, it will be difficult for me to handle it. After all, I won't agree to your confession, Jiang Zao."

Jiang Zao laughed. He naturally would not imagine that Kato Megumi would agree to confess her love. But if it was the crazy Matsushima Mitsuru, it might be possible.

"Let's start with Kato-san's outfit. How about dressing more trendy on your day off?"

"What is considered fashionable?" Kato Megumi thinks that her clothes should not be too tacky, right?

"Uh... more eye-catching or something?"

"That's just the boys' opinion. Wouldn't it look weird to wear clothes that expose your belly and thighs in the dormitory?" Kato Megumi shook her head in resistance. She didn't want to dress like this on her day off.

What's strange about that? Tianyin often dresses like this.

Jiang Zao complained in his heart and could only try another method. He pointed at Kato Megumi's bob and said, "How about trying to grow long hair? Although the process is very time-consuming."

"This sounds okay, is there any other method?"

"Well... I'll call you Hui, how about you call me Jiang Zao?"

"Student Jiang Zao, you really have feelings for me, right?"

"You can't say that. There aren't many people in our school. If we suddenly start calling each other names intimately, you will also attract attention from others, right?"
