I save a pathological girl with a twisted love story.

They both greeted each other.

Why aren't you at the school gate today? Why are you here instead?

Xia Wuzhao glanced at Chiho.

"Hehe." A hint of smugness appeared on her face. "I waited for you all on purpose, you know~ How about that? Touched, aren't you?"

Natsugiri Kai didn't react at all, but fortunately Chiho had gotten used to Natsugiri Kai's reactions, so she didn't care.

Instead, she looked at Asahi's loose braided pigtails with curiosity: "Why did you change your hairstyle today?"

"This was combed by Natsume," Asahima said, gently smiling as she held a strand of hair in her hand.

"I see."

Chiho easily showed a dissatisfied expression: "It's so nice~ It's so nice!"

"Xia Wu, help me think of a new hairstyle for tomorrow too!"

She grabbed Xia Wuzhao's arm and shook it incessantly, like a little child.

With a slight frown, Aoi said, "Don't do that, there are many people watching."

"I see~"

Chiho released Natsugiri Kai with great disappointment.

Sometimes, she would do some very childish things, just like a little kid.

But this kind of appearance is very rare, and she would never even show it to outsiders.

With a slight upturn at the corners of her lips, she appeared to be smiling to anyone who looked at her. She maintained a very proper posture, exuding a relaxed and carefree aura.

—This is how trustworthy Kirishima Chiho is in her everyday life.

Xia Wuzhao let her change her ways as she pleased, and the next moment she was whispering to Asahi Aoi about something.

Asakawa Yo frowned slightly because the people in front of her would occasionally turn their heads to look at her.

"This is such a hassle."

With a hint of irritation and annoyance, she raised her head, letting the tender green hair brush past her eyes.

The scar on his right eye was easily visible.

Normally, Asakawa Yo wouldn't want to do this.

But if anyone else annoys her, she will show the scar that runs through her right eye.

—It was as if she regarded the scar as some kind of strange magic, that as long as it was revealed, no one would bother her.

But this "magic" seems to have failed today, as the two people in front of us still keep looking.

A shadow fell over Asakawa Yo's heart.

"It seems she's spotted you, and she looks really unhappy," Xia Wuzhao reminded Asahi Aoi and Chiho beside her.

Aoi smiled apologetically, but Chiho didn't react in the same way at all.

On the contrary, she glanced at Xia Wuzhao and teased, "You like her a lot?"

“No,” Xia Wuzhao answered easily; “Why would you think I would like her?”

"Because this is the first time you've spoken up for a girl you don't know."

Chiho smiled faintly, appearing completely calm and collected.

But Xia Wuzhao was somewhat at a loss for words. She simply glanced at her and said, "Really? I don't think I remember. However, her mother asked us for help again this morning."

"Oh, is that the reason?"

Chiho suddenly realized, as if she had accepted Natsumi's reasoning.

He simply smiled and quietly watched Xia Wuzhao.

Xia Wuzhao ignored Qianhui and simply stopped looking at her.

They walked slowly like this, but the slope seemed too long today, making Xia Wuzhao a little impatient.

“Since her mother asked you to help, I should help too,” Chiho said with a smile. “We’re friends, after all.”

She turned to look for Asakawa Yo, but Asahi Aoi stopped her.

Aoi shook her head at Chiho, indicating that she didn't think highly of her.

Chiho simply smiled confidently and strode towards Asakawa Yo.

Asakawa Yo frowned slightly, then lowered her head and walked forward.

She didn't plan to say anything to Chiho; she just wanted to go back to the classroom and leisurely spend her day.

"Hello, Asakawa-kun."

Chiho waved her hand.

Asakawa Yo ignored her completely and simply walked past her, preparing to leave.

"You're really in a hurry." Chiho smiled and stopped Asakawa Yo.

"Tsk."

Asakawa Yo looked up at Chiho: "Could you please move aside?"

"No, that won't work."

Chiho smiled and said softly, "If you really want to leave, I'll chat with you every time after class. My friends will chat with you too."

Is this bullying?

With a slightly confused expression, Asakawa Yo questioned him.

"No, no, no, this isn't bullying," Chiho chuckled. "If it were bullying, why would I introduce my friend to you?"

"I was actually planning to become friends with you."

She smiled faintly, but in Asakawa Yo's eyes, that smile was particularly detestable.

"So what? What's the difference?"

"Hmm~~~" Chiho pretended to think for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then let's just pretend there's no difference."

Taking a deep breath, Asakawa Yo asked Chiho with a gloomy expression, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's nothing," Chiho said with a smile. "I just want to be your friend. It might sound strange, but there are so many girls who want to be my friend."

What if I say I don't want to?

"Of course, it doesn't matter at all." Chiho wasn't upset at all. "But I'll try my best to become your friend."

Although she was still smiling, her words were full of sarcasm and a subtle threat.

Ultimately, whether this is a threat or not remains unclear.

Just as Chiho said, many girls do want to be her friends. Becoming her friend brings many conveniences at school.

—At least, you won't be bullied. And it'll be easier to make other friends.

He looked down at Chiho with a gloomy expression; "Aren't you afraid people will talk about you behind your back? Say you made an ugly girl your friend?"

"I don't mind. Besides, it's precisely because ugly girls exist that beautiful girls seem so beautiful, isn't it?"

She smiled.

The two of them had only been talking for a short while when many girls started watching them.

Many people greeted Chiho.

Chiho greeted them as well, smiling as well.

After looking around, Asakawa Yo realized that she seemed to have no way of refusing.

—If you want to continue this peaceful life.

"Since you're willing, then let's do it this way."

Asakawa Yo answered in a very low voice, and then prepared to leave.

She was already very unhappy about this situation. If she continued to dwell on it, she would be unhappy all day.

"As good friends, how about we go to school together?"

Chiho took her arm and pulled her along very firmly.

"What bad luck!"

Asakawa Yo thought to herself, feeling quite annoyed, "What did I do to offend you?"

“No.” Shaking her head, Chiho pulled Asakawa Yo to Natsugiri Kai and Asahi Aoi’s side.

With a grin and a smug look on his face, he said, "How about that? I've made her our friend."

Asahi looked at Asakawa Yo curiously, wondering why Asakawa Yo had agreed.

But Asakawa Yo kept her head down, looking like she was ignoring everyone.

As for Xia Wuzhao, he didn't react at all and was indifferent to these matters.

So the four of them strolled leisurely toward the school.

I strolled slowly down the long slope, stepping on the fallen cherry blossoms.

"It's like stepping into the spotlight."

Asakawa Yo was very uncomfortable with this kind of thing. Everyone else would always greet Chiho and Asahi Aoi and chat with them for a while.

She hates these things.

Fortunately, Xia Wuzhao doesn't really care about this kind of thing.

Asakawa Yo glanced at Natsume Kai.

"To make myself not stand out so much."

With a worried heart, I changed my shoes at the shoe cabinet and then went to the classroom.

Asakawa Yo was worried that Chiho wouldn't keep her promise, but after class, Chiho indeed ignored Asakawa Yo.

This eased some of her worries.

"If we can really maintain this kind of relationship, that would be great."

She lay face down on the table with her eyes closed.

There were just too many people around, and although they weren't bothering her, she was still a little annoyed.

When it was time for PE class, everyone went to change their clothes.

Asakawa Yo doesn't hate physical education class, but she doesn't like it either.

—Because when changing clothes in the locker room, it is always unavoidable to squeeze in with other people.

Everyone was always chatting, and it always seemed quite lively.

"It's so inconvenient."

So she decided to wander around the school for a while before going to the changing room.

After most people changed their clothes and left the changing room, she entered the changing room herself.

He let out a relaxed breath, shook his arms, and gently massaged his shoulders.

"Does your shoulder hurt?"

Chiho and Aoi looked at her curiously.

"In an instant, an inexplicable sense of irritability filled my heart."

"nothing."

Asakawa Yo went to her cabinet, giving a perfunctory answer.

She untied the bow, set it aside, and then prepared to change her clothes.

Aoi Asahi was doing the same thing; she was forcibly pulled by Chiho and insisted on waiting until this moment to change her clothes.

But Chiho was looking at Asakawa Yo.

Frowning slightly, Asakawa Yo fiddled with her hair and calmly asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
