Because Xia Wuzhao would ask her to go out and play together, and after school she would linger in the dessert shop and buy some inexplicable items.

—He looks more like a high school student now.

Chiho didn't think this was a good thing; on the contrary, she was troubled and disliked Natsumi's change.

—Because Xia Wuzhao has become more honest.

She felt that honesty was good, but Xia Wuzhao's honesty was bad.

She found the old Xia Wuzhao annoying, awkward, always had strange thought processes, and was very dishonest.

She both liked and disliked it.

She both likes and dislikes Xia Wuzhao now.

She liked the changes Xia Wuchao made, but she hated that the changes weren't made in her own hands.

Chiho finally realized this.

She enjoyed spending time with Xia Wuzhao and changed her. She etched her influence into Xia Wuzhao's life and preserved it until her death.

Therefore, she disliked Xia Wuzhao's changes.

Asakawa Yo also hates change, but Mizuki always seems to be doing some strange things.

"I hate it when people tell me what to do."

She said those words to Mizuki, and Mizuki apologized sincerely.

However, after saying those words, Asakawa Yo felt a little regretful.

"Because we can't be friends anymore."

That's what Asakawa Yo thinks.

However, Mizuki was more mature. She only needed to glance at Asakawa Yo to understand what Asakawa Yo was thinking.

"Haha, it was my fault." Meiyue stroked her hair and laughed. "So, Ayao, you don't need to feel uncomfortable."

"Because A-Yao has helped me a lot, I also want to help A-Yao. But after thinking it over, the only skill I have that might be useful to A-Yao is making friends. So, I did it."

She smiled with a sigh in her eyes.

Asakawa Yo frowned slightly: "If that's the case, you could have told me in advance."

"This kind of training is best done when you don't know it. If you know it, you can no longer react instinctively in a natural way."

Mizuki's words were so logical and reasonable that Asakawa Yo's initial unease vanished.

"However, I still think Mizuki should focus on finding a job."

Asakawa Yo offered her suggestion.

"I've decided to become a freelancer," Mizuki said, revealing her decision. "I plan to shoot some videos and things like that, which might allow me to earn some money."

"Aren't you afraid your family will find out?" Asakawa Yo asked curiously; "The video should have spread very widely."

“So, I’m going to become a virtual idol.” Mizuki took out her phone and showed it to Asakawa Yo. “You see, a virtual idol only needs to have one image. In the early stages, you can find free images online. Once you’ve made some money, you can commission other characters.”

"Virtual idol? What does that mean?" Asakawa Yo looked at Mizuki's phone, somewhat confused.

"It'll probably involve chatting, singing, or playing games. Basically, anything that can make the audience happy," Mizuki muttered.

“This is so easy,” Asakawa Yo said. “It’s like playing a game.”

"But the initial equipment will cost a lot of money," she said. "What are you going to do now?"

“I earned some money when I was working before. I could buy some second-hand stuff to make do, and I could use the cheapest equipment available. The only problem was the computer.”

Mizuki sighed.

“Then I’ll use my computer.” Asakawa Yo pointed to the computer on her desk. “I don’t use it much anyway.”

"Thank you so much, Asakawa."

Mizuki was very grateful.

But Asakawa Yo warned, "Be careful not to get caught if you're not paying attention."

"I understand," Mizuki replied calmly.

—While in school, Asakawa Yo also told Natsugiri Kai about Mizuki's thoughts.

"what do you think?"

“If it were Mizuki, it would probably be suitable,” Xia Wuzhao said. “Isn’t she good at reading the room and changing the subject? If she were to chat with people, she could make everyone feel happy. If she were to be a virtual idol, she would probably be just right.”

"I see." Asakawa Yo looked Natsume up and down: "You seem to know a lot about virtual idols."

"It's just common sense," he said.

Aoi, who was standing next to him, changed the subject: "Finally, it's time to go back to school. Asakawa, how are you feeling?"

Today is Asakawa Yo's first day of school, and it's almost the end of June.

"I have no expectations."

Asakawa Yo said, "It's just like the weather today, unbearably hot, but we have to do it."

Aoi could only smile helplessly and didn't say anything.

—Because that would sound like a condescending accusation.

"Isn't this what summer is all about?"

Xia Wuzhao said, "It's hot, cicadas are chirping, and there's soda."

It was unusual for the three of them to go to school together today, but all three felt it was normal.

"Soda? It doesn't taste very good."

Asakawa Yo thought for a moment: "After drinking it, my fingers felt sticky and uncomfortable."

"I actually find it quite refreshing," Asahi Aoi thought, smiling at Natsugiri Kai. "In the summer, if I don't drink Ramune soda, I always feel like something's missing."

"Ramune? I've had it, and the taste is quite subtle." Asakawa Yo frowned, using a slightly safer term: "It tastes like a very, very old one."

"I haven't drunk it."

Aoi smiled.

I got on the bus and went to school.

The morning air was fresh, and although it was hot, it was still bearable. But by noon, I didn't want to do anything at all.

Many people looked unhappy, and very few people greeted the sunflowers this morning.

—Because Asakawa Yo was right next to her.

The girls who passed by Asahi Sunflower simply walked past her as if nothing had happened.

Some girls will even deliberately walk away and pretend they didn't see it.

Asakawa Yo, of course, discovered this.

She noticed the trouble she had caused, but she didn't distance herself from Asahi.

Will Asahi deliberately distance herself from me?

This is the question that Asakawa Yo is pondering.

"Keeping your distance from me is probably the best option. But if that's the case, then we're probably not friends anymore."

Even knowing what is right, Asakawa Yo will still choose the path she has chosen.

I never regret it.

—Even though I've been getting along well with Asahi Aoi lately, and we could even be called friends.

Aoi didn't leave immediately; she simply greeted the girl beside her and smiled.

Asakawa asked Aoi Asahi why she did that.

"Because if they greeted me, the other people would probably dislike it, since Asakawa is here. But they are my friends too, so I took the initiative to greet them."

Asahi Aoi spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world, without any attempt to hide her true feelings.

—Like a sharp thorn, it pierced Asakawa Yo's heart.

It was stinging, and there was something unbearable about it.

"But I think it's great. I did even better than I expected."

Asakawa Yo had a smile on her face.

Ignoring others was to protect Asakawa Yo's feelings.

—Asakawa Yo hates this.

If we did that, Asakawa Yo would definitely think about it.

"Am I some kind of weak person who needs to be taken care of by others?"

Now, Asakawa Yo really likes the way Asahi is handled.

"Aoi is a very good person."

Thinking this way, she felt that becoming friends with Aoi Asahi wouldn't be so bad.

"But Xia Wuzhao is really awful."

Asakawa Yo looked at Natsume and felt that Natsume had changed a bit.

But it became neither interesting nor good.

He seemed to have become weaker than before.

"Did you encounter some difficulties? Although Xia Wuzhao didn't speak human language before, she was much more stubborn and didn't care about other people's opinions."

"Now, he seems to have become weak."

With that in mind, the three of them went to the shoe locker to change into indoor shoes before entering the classroom.

The people in the classroom were as noisy as ever.

After Asakawa Yo entered, they all glanced at her out of the corner of their eyes and subconsciously snorted coldly.

Bullying is not a simple matter; it requires keeping everything confined to the school environment and avoiding involvement in the wider community. Verbal abuse and physical assault are always the worst forms of bullying.

Exclusion and psychological bullying are popular now, so even if the parents of the accused are involved, nothing will happen.

Even if parents question you, you can say that it's your freedom to choose who you make friends with.

Because it's difficult to determine whether something is right or wrong, even if someone is being targeted, there's no way to reprimand them.

—Because it simply doesn't make sense.

Xia Wuzhao glanced at Qianchuan Yao, only to find that Qianchuan Yao had put her schoolbag in the table.

However, they did not sit down.

He then walked up to the girls and asked, "Were you laughing at me just now?"

"Eh?"

The girls were taken aback, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

However, one girl said unhappily, "How do you know we're laughing at you? What makes you think you can slander us?"

The other girls then realized what was happening.

"That's right, that's exactly it!"

They all nodded and laughed again.

In their view, Asakawa Yo had no reason to lash out at them anymore.

With a loud crash, Asakawa Yo forcefully overturned the table where the people were gathered.

Hey! What are you doing?!

The girls were terrified and screamed.

The others also looked at Asakawa Yo strangely.

"I'm very unhappy."

Asakawa Yo said, "I hate it when people look at me with contempt."
