People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

After Goto Ichiri finished speaking, Otonashi Sota waited for a few more seconds, but seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any follow-up plans, he couldn't help but question it.

No, sis, you were so hesitant for so long, I thought you were going to reveal some shocking secret about being a light bond, or a Kamen Rider, or a magical girl... and that's it?!

Otonashi Sota couldn't help but slap his forehead, thinking that he was a god for having such strange fantasies.

But it's true. Looking at this girl's timid and socially anxious look, you can tell that she doesn't have many friends. To be able to make friends with such a taciturn person, only the archangel of sunshine can be born, right?

"So, you don't have any friends at school?"

"....No."

It was visible to the naked eye that low pressure was emerging around Goto Ichiri.

"What about outside the school?"

“No…”

"Hmm...is there anyone you greet normally?"

"No...."

"Hiss—you don't even have friends in junior high and elementary school, do you?"

"Wow... I'm really sorry that I'm an unwanted child..."

Goto Ichiri was completely withdrawn, holding his head and crying on the table.

o(TヘTo)

Otonashi Sota couldn't help but gasp.

It was the first time he had seen someone so withdrawn. In a sense, this girl was quite amazing.

"Then haven't you tried to get in touch with your classmates? As long as you strike up a conversation, even if the relationship won't become particularly close, at least you can chat from time to time, right?"

Otonashi Souda asked curiously.

"Oyster, oyster! I absolutely can't do something as high-level as talking to someone! And they'll definitely give me those 'who the hell are you?' looks of contempt. If a worm like me were to talk to someone without permission, the only fate would be to be burned!"

Goto Ichiri shook her head vigorously. When she thought of the various scenes that might happen, she couldn't help but tremble.

"So? Then you don't usually just sit there and wait for others to talk to you, right?"

“…”

Otonashi Sota got the answer from Goto Ichiri's stiff expression.

Well, this is really standard social phobia thinking.

No wonder this girl only dared to hang around in front of the store before. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have deserted long ago.

Chapter 3: The First Friend in Ichiri

[Goto Ichiri has a request for you: I want to find a good friend to chat with and hang out with; I want to become popular.]

The system's voice sounded in Yinwu Zoutai's mind, and Yinwu Zoutai immediately clicked to accept.

Of course, this does not mean that he has decided to accept Goto Ichiri's commission. He just accepted the system's task.

Anyway, there is no punishment for not completing the task, so it would be a waste not to accept it.

In fact, he already had a lot of commissions that he had accepted but not completed hanging in the system, so it would not be a loss if he took one.

But then again, it would be interesting to help this girl realize her wish, right?

Isn’t it a great sense of accomplishment to be able to personally train a socially anxious person into a positive person?

Why am I playing a development game in real life?

"By the way, I see you carry a guitar with you. Can you play the guitar?"

Otonashi Sota noticed the guitar case at the girl's feet.

"Ok!"

Goto Ichiri nodded. Speaking of this, she was no longer sleepy. After all, the guitar was the only thing she had to show off.

"How's the water rating?"

Otonashi Sota continued to ask.

"It's not bad."

Goto Ichiri scratched her head embarrassedly. In front of someone she just met, she didn't dare to say that she played the piano well.

"Well... okay, I basically understand your situation."

To be honest, this was the first time that Otonashi Sota had seen such a genius.

Although she looks good, she has to cover her face with bangs and always keeps her head down, not daring to look people in the eye.

Although she can play the guitar, judging by her appearance, she can only play a few chords for her own entertainment.

"Then... Otonashi-san, do you think I can be saved?"

Goto Ichiri cast a hopeful look at Otonashi Sota.

After all, her purpose in coming here was to get help.

"Your problem is mainly psychological. You lack self-confidence and are always afraid of interacting with people. How can you make friends then? Unless your friend is a dog."

Otonashi Sota complained.

"....I do have a dog at home, his name is Jimmy Hen."

Goto Ichiri weakly raised his hand.

"That's fine... Ahem. Anyway, whether you want to make friends or become popular, you have to at least build up your self-confidence first."

Otonashi Sota raised his finger, looking serious.

"If you want to improve your self-confidence, start with your appearance. From now on, walk with your chest and head held high. Stop hunching your back and looking down. It gives people a bad impression and is bad for your health."

"And your outfit...it's very nice, don't wear it next time."

This is the first time I've seen someone wear a skirt over sweatpants. What is the purpose of the skirt?

"Oh... This is too difficult... I might as well just die."

Goto Ichiri let out a cry of grief. She couldn't do this level of transformation right from the start!

"Why is that so difficult? You're obviously quite cute, so why are you hiding it?"

Otonashi Sota picked up the pen on the table and lifted Goto Ichiri's bangs. Looking at her pretty face which was a little too white and tender, he couldn't help but wonder.

Although there are often sarcastic comments on the Internet such as "Jimei has a good foundation", it is the truth when it comes to Goto Ichiri.

To be honest, I feel that this girl doesn't need to do anything. She just needs to slightly change her appearance, cut her hair, and change into normal clothes and skirts, and naturally people will come to talk to her. I won't eat anyone else.

"Cute?! Me?! Hehehe....hehe..."

Goto Ichiri's eyes widened instantly, and then a strange blush appeared on his face uncontrollably, and he became a little dizzy.

Hmm...are you still someone who can't help but be praised?

I feel like she is a very easy-to-cheap child. Fortunately, she met an honest and kind-hearted person like me. If it were someone else, this girl would have been sold and still helped others count the money.

"Well, if that's the case, let's put the changes to appearance aside for now."

Otonashi Sota quickly made a new decision.

Without a strong and resolute heart, it is useless to change your appearance. Instead, you may attract people with bad intentions.

Given Goto Ichiri's timid and socially anxious personality, it might not seem like a good thing for him to really become a better person.

"Red Bean Paste, you're so fucking stupid! Otonashi-san cares so much about me, but I can't do anything..."

Goto Ichiri clasped her hands together, her face full of shame and self-blame, but she was a little happy in her heart. After all, this was the first time that someone other than her family had thought about her like this.

"It's okay. By the way, Goto, what's your LINE number? Let's add each other."

Otonashi Sota took out his cell phone.

“Oh…eh?!”

Goto Ichiri subconsciously took out her cell phone and added Otonashi Sota as a friend. When she saw the avatar of a white-haired girl holding a dart in her friend list, she realized what she had just done.

Is she dreaming?!

She actually added a handsome guy on LINE?! Is it possible for someone as eccentric as her to do that?!

Goto Ichiri instantly felt that she had no regrets in her life. When she was buried, she would carry this mobile phone with her!

"As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. From today on, I will be your first friend. Is that okay?"

Otonashi Sota said with a smile.

"Friends?!"

Goto Ichiri was instantly dizzy from the pie falling from the sky.

This happiness came so suddenly that she felt as if she was in a mirage.

"Well, like I said, there's nothing wrong with your conditions. It's just that you're too shy to communicate with others. You need to build up your self-confidence."

Otonashi Sota nodded and said,

"So if you don't mind, I can be your first friend and let you get used to the feeling of interacting with others. How about that?"

"Really?! Do I have the right to be friends with Otonashi-san?!"

Goto Ichiri still couldn't believe it. He had finally made the friend he had always wanted, and he was a mature and handsome working man!

"Of course you can. You just need to pay a friend fee of 20,000 yuan per month."

"Great, please accept it!"

Goto Ichiri took out his wallet without hesitation and was about to pay with a happy look on his face.

"Pfft—you really gave it to me? Goto, are you really a genius?"

Yin Wuzou was a little nervous, so he just made a joke. Why did this girl really take advantage of it?

Oh no! This girl will be in trouble if she makes friends who like to borrow money in the future.

Chapter 4 Customer Service Xiaoxiang is offline

"Um, um, Otonashi-san, can I still come over tomorrow?"

At the door of the store, Goto Ichiri put the guitar case back on his back, looked at Otonashi Kanata with some nervousness and expectation and asked.

"Of course, you're welcome to come and play with me anytime you have time. However, sometimes I might be out for work and not at home. If you want to come, you can contact me on LINE first."

Otonashi Sota said.

"Ok!"

Goto Ichiri left with a smile that was hard to hide.

She felt that today was her lucky day!

Fortunately, she came to the Yorozuya Shop after seeing the advertisement, otherwise she would not have made her first friend in her life so easily.

"Let's ask mom to buy a cake when we get home. Today is Goto Ichiri's birthday! We have to celebrate it properly."

"Otonashi-san is so nice, handsome, gentle, and mature. If my classmates knew that I had such a friend, would they envy me? Guhehe~~~"

"By the way, should I send a message to Otonashi-san when we get back? But will it annoy him if I send him a message suddenly? I wonder if he likes music too. It would be great if he likes guitar."

Miss Goto Ichiri, who made friends for the first time, was also caught in a happy dilemma on her way back.

After Goto Ichiri left, Otonashi Sota also returned to the store, picked up the money that Goto Ichiri had left on the table and put it on the counter.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a 'friend fee' but a 'commission fee'.

After all, Goto Ichiri came to the Yorozuya to seek help, and Otonashi Sota did help. Although the two are friends now, one thing is one thing, and it is impossible for friends to not pay, right?

Of course, Otonashi Sota didn't really take the 20,000 yuan, he just took 2,000 yuan from Goto Ichiri. He is not short of money now.

Besides, he was also quite interested in Goto Ichiri. After all, such a pure girl was rare nowadays. She was so interesting.

Especially the changes in this girl's expressions are simply amazing. Otonashi Sota has never seen anyone who can make so many complex and varied expressions in his life. It feels like she can be an actor.

Just as Otonashi Sota was about to order some takeout for dinner, there was a soft knocking sound at the door of the store, accompanied by a pleasant girl's voice.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

"some."
