My love game with them that will lead to certain death

Come on, Yukinoshita Yukino, launch a counterattack with your cold and disgusted expression and your harsh and tricky sarcasm!

However, it was somewhat unexpected that the expression on Yukino's face did not change towards annoyance.

“………What nonsense are you talking about?”

On the contrary, she showed a rare look of being at a loss. After pretending to be calm, she hurriedly looked away and raised her hand to cover the blush on her face.

Ming Hai, who had already prepared to avoid Yukino's possible attack, curled the corners of his mouth.

Wait, Second Miss, the impact of your response is too small.

Chapter 14: All guests are welcome.

Ming Hai is actually the type of person who would package his past tragic experiences into jokes and bring them up as punchlines when chatting with others.

If the other person responded with a laugh, Ming Hai's goal of livening up the atmosphere would be achieved. But if the other person showed a distressed expression and said something comforting like "Ah, you're so pitiful, I'll hug you", he would not know how to respond.

The same goes for being a masochist. Ming Hai speculated whether Yukinoshita Yukino was interested in him, and said it in front of her, hoping that she would deny it with disgust, even if she followed it with a sentence like "Otaku is so disgusting".

But unfortunately, Miss Yukinoshita Yukino blushed.

She blushed.

"What's going on? Where's the second young lady who was supposed to be the most beautiful girl in high mountains? Who is this flustered elementary school student in front of me who looks like his secrets have been exposed? Although suspecting that a girl likes me is one of the three greatest illusions in life, if you keep doing this, will I really think so?"

"Well... if you can use your sweet talk skills where they are needed, your achievements will definitely be far more dazzling than they are now, Narumi-kun."

Miss Yukinoshita coughed very stiffly. Even though her expression still remained a little unnatural, she was rational and began to change the subject to make amends for herself.

"Don't play such a joke on me."

Because it’s hard not to take it seriously.

"Oops, sorry, sorry."

Realizing that Yukino had given him a way out, Ming Hai immediately gave in. The atmosphere of the conversation just now was truly beyond his expectations. It was not at all a joke or teasing between ordinary friends.

"I need to reiterate that as the president, I found a member's belonging and couldn't leave it alone, so I just kept it for the time being."

OK, very convincing explanation.

"Besides, I wouldn't want to keep a boy's personal belongings. This behavior is very rude and easy to be discovered without consent. What's more, I really just want to keep it temporarily and return it to you when the time is right."

Okay, okay, actually there is really no need to explain it so seriously. Some things will only get worse the more you explain them.

"Besides... well."

Just when Yukinoshita Yukino was about to say something, she seemed to have realized something and shut her mouth and turned her originally wandering gaze back to Minghai.

"…It seems we have wasted enough time. Hayama-kun and Hikigaya-kun should have been waiting in the activity room for quite some time."

She waved her hand and walked towards the service club. Ming Hai followed her after a moment of confusion.

How abrupt! Ms. Yukino, your way of changing the subject is really abrupt...! You should learn more from your elder sister, Haruno - that old fox!

Of course, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was walking in front of the boy just to prevent the boy from noticing the strange expression on her face, found it difficult to express the words she hadn't said.

"Besides, if you hadn't offered it to me like before, I wouldn't have asked for it."

After all, if it weren't for this, even if you carry this whistle with you at all times, it wouldn't mean anything. Without the added value of the thought, it wouldn't be a token to call for a hero to come and save you, but just an ordinary tool to limit the time in a cooking competition.

What Yukinoshita Yukino wanted was not just something to comfort her.

Although her initial wish was just "I want to see that person again", it eventually evolved into "I want to talk to him", "I want him to look at me", and "I want to be special to him".

After all, people are greedy.

Of course, Yukinoshita Yukino would never admit any of the above. Even if she showed any clues and someone asked her about it, she would just raise her chin as usual and deny it categorically.

In the simulation, that guy was the one who was able to handle backward compatibility with ease, but now that we have met again in the real world, this time, no matter what, he must be the first one to be fascinated.

At least that's what Miss Yukinoshita Yukino thinks so far.

The two of them returned to the Service Club's activity room one after the other. Hikigaya Hachiman, who had been staying in the room to deal with Hayama Hayato until now, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the figures of Yukino and Narumi - it was really a waste of energy for a guy like him who avoided interacting too much with others to receive the well-known sunny and cheerful Hayama Hayato.

But there is no way, everyone who comes is a guest and I have to entertain them.

And with the newly joined Ms. Yuigahama Yui by her side to act as a lubricant for interpersonal communication, Hikikomori won't be so perfunctory as to be exhausted.

"Sending chain letters to others with all kinds of negative information about classmates... Is this why you came to me for this commission, Ye Shanjun?"

Yukinoshita Yukino, who returned to the service club with Narumi, pointed out the key point of the commission directly, and Hayama, who was sitting in the guest seat, nodded with a wry smile.

"Well, the content of those chain letters is basically negative news that slanders classmates and friends. No matter who you are, you can't accept that your close friends are said in that way."

"Okay, okay, then what do you want, Mr. Ye Shan? Do you want us to help you find out who is the culprit behind this? Or do you want us to fight back in kind?"

Ming Hai waved his hand with his chin in his hand, looking listless. He always felt that a guy like Ye Shan who was gentle and friendly to everyone could only bring boring commissions and boring requests.

"It's not necessary to be so extreme. I just hope that this matter can be resolved perfectly."

Sure enough, Ye Shan began to look embarrassed, and he quickly waved his hand to reject all of Ming Hai's suggestions.

"Whether it's the person being slandered or the person who sent the email, I still hope that no one will be further hurt... I hope this absurd thing can be put to rest smoothly."

"Useless tenderness is too redundant, and it will only become a burden to others."

Yukinoshita Yukino pointed out the gentle nature of Hayama directly. Ming Hai didn't expect that she would say bluntly what she wanted to say, and raised her eyebrows with interest.

Although the Yukinoshita Yukino in his impression would also give such a tonal evaluation, she would be more aggressive and more unreasonable.

"I'm a burden...haha, but if no one gets hurt in the end, I don't mind being considered that."

Even though he was being mocked, Ye Shan didn't care too much and just laughed twice. Hikigaya Hachiman, who was standing beside him, frowned even more tightly, which was not relaxed to begin with - he and this sunny and cheerful person who had the "Saint Realm" were just not compatible.

Sometimes you really can't accept every client. If you meet a client who adds a bunch of conditions and keeps rejecting your proposal, you must have been unlucky in your previous life.

"Don't want to be the bad guy? Then there are other solutions."

Having expected that Hayama would say something like this that didn't mean to hurt anyone, Ming Hai twisted his neck indifferently and made a new suggestion.

"Then become a sinner."

Chapter 15 Guitar Hero, my Superman!

Hayato Hayama is a smart guy. Someone who can maintain good relationships with all his classmates is unlikely to be a fool.

But at the same time, he also has a not-so-smart side, which is that when faced with situations where he needs to make a clear statement, he always considers how not to hurt anyone and thus speaks vaguely - the result is counterproductive.

Gentleness that is not smart enough is sometimes just weakness, and only kindness with edges and corners can play the greatest role.

"Since you don't want to be the villain who exposes the ugly truth, then be the sinner that everyone hates! Take all the blame, and painfully explain your good intentions for doing so! From a sunny and cheerful good guy who is the center of attention, you have transformed yourself into a dark person who sleeps on straw and endures humiliation!"

"It's an interesting suggestion... But Narumi-kun, you haven't considered the subsequent impact after Hayama-kun's character collapses."

Rarely, Yukinoshita Yukino affirmed the creativity of Toru Narumi's suggestion, but she still couldn't hold back.

"And if this plan is adopted, it will be very difficult for Ye Shanjun. You know, he is the type who can ignore his friends' troubles just to fit in with the atmosphere."

"Oh, then this route won't work."

Ming Hai glanced at Hayato Hayama, whose smile was becoming more and more awkward. In fact, he did not expect from the beginning that Hayama would be cruel enough to make the truth public, let alone play a charming and cute villain role.

"Then let's change our thinking. We should shoot the horse first - find out who sent the email and make them shut up."

"Agree."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who had been observing everyone's expressions, spoke up rarely, even if it was only briefly to express his support for Narumi.

"This...is not my original intention when I came to you."

Ye Shan frowned. His initial wish was just to calm things down, but at this rate of development, it was only a matter of time before he would come into conflict with the culprit.

"You want to fight without bloodshed? That's not going to happen. You don't want to pay any price and just want to get something for nothing, Mr. Yeshan.

"Well, well... I can understand Hayama-kun's feelings to some extent. After all, we are all classmates of the same age. There is no need to make such a big fuss about many things."

Yuigahama Yui spoke up at the right time to smooth things over. Having her at the Servant Club was really able to restore the warmth of the conversation atmosphere when Yukino and Narumi made some harsh and tricky comments.

"When the person who sent the chain letter decided to do so, he should have expected that he would be discovered and embarrassed one day."

Yukinoshita Yukino still stood firm in her bottom line, and Toru Narumi couldn't stop nodding his head in agreement, which made Miss Yuigahama, who was just trying to save the situation, feel quite powerless - these two guys were in perfect harmony and sang the same tune, so who would take care of her who was caught between the Servant Club and the Seishun Group?

"Then why not just give the instigator some warning in private and prevent him from losing face in public?"

After comprehensive consideration, Hikigaya Hachiman took over the conversation of Yuigahama Yui who was feeling a little embarrassed. Although the latter immediately gave him a grateful look, Hikigaya Hachiman, who was not good at dealing with such situations, chose to pretend not to see it.

"If the investigation is conducted on the premise that no one will be harmed... I agree."

Hayato Hayama hesitated for a moment, but finally made a little concession.

In the simulated future of Ming Hai's impression, there seemed to be no commission for Hayato Hayama, because in the same period of time he seemed to have fled Sobu High School and even the Kanto region with Yukino - so it would be impossible to rely on clairvoyance to discern the identity of the criminal.

Naturally, the same was true for Yukinoshita Yukino. The two people who did not share information had no idea what kind of information the other person had from their perspective, but they did agree on the purpose of completing the commission at this moment.

After that, the members of the Servant Club and Hayato Hayama worked hard to deduce and recall the past, sorting out the opportunity and time for the email to appear from beginning to end.

Chain letters seem to have started appearing around last week, and even Yuigahama Yui, who doesn't like to get involved in these things, has received similar text messages.

If I had to mention one of the more important events that happened last week, it would only be the grouping arrangements for workplace internships.

The trainees were divided into groups of three, but Hayato Hayama had three best friends in the class. So one of them would definitely be excluded. And one of them, who was afraid of being "excluded", attacked the other two first in order to avoid being left alone, exposing their indecent deeds, which were unknown whether true or false.

Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, the criminal also released negative information about himself to avoid risks. No matter how hard it was for Ye Shan to accept that one of his good friends would do such a thing, the scope of the criminal was still narrowed down to the three of them.

The chance of accidentally guessing the real murderer is high enough in the ordinary three-choice set meal commonly seen in the famous detective ○ South Middle School. As long as we further investigate the interpersonal relationships and personality characteristics of these three people, the truth will be revealed sooner or later.

The Servant Club sent away the unhappy-looking Hayato Hayama, and after confirming the course of action, ended the club activities for the day.

After saying goodbye to the other three, Ming Hai walked out of the teaching building with his schoolbag on his back, and squeezed onto the train home with his body that had been exhausted by classes all day.

The bustling platform was still crowded. He finally squeezed himself into the carriage during the rush hour after work and school, and barely huddled in a corner, hugged his schoolbag to his chest, took out his mobile phone and started to kill time.

Ming Hai clicked on the mobile forum page, and his originally careless and exhausted expression froze in an instant.

The number of views of a novel post that only had nearly 40,000 to 50,000 views the day before yesterday has increased three or four times today, and the number is still rising with no sign of stagnation.

Ming Hai, who was puzzled, quickly swiped his finger across the comment section, trying to find some clues.

[You all came here from YouTube, right? It turns out that it’s not just the comics that are re-created, the original novels are also so tear-jerking]

[After Kashiwagi Eri's comics, there is a fan song... This is going to be a hit, I'm Liu Ming. 】

[The above, this novel has been a little popular for a long time. I saw it in the moderator's recommended short stories a few days ago. ]

[Have you ever considered translating the book overseas? I can help you find a reliable translator for Love Comes from Porcelain?]

[They all said it was so touching, but it's just like this. You guys should eat something good to make your tears rise! ]

[The daddy vibe of the above person is overflowing the screen, is it because his dad died early? ]

[I recognize the offensiveness of the above post]

……

After quickly scanning the comment section, Ming Hai's attention was caught by several key words that appeared very frequently in the message board.

"Fan Comics", "YouTube", "Fan Songs", and——

"Guitar Hero".

He opened YouTube and searched for the latest and most viewed video of a blogger named "Guitar Hero".

“This song is an original doujin song I wrote for a comic… This is the first time I’ve used other works as inspiration for my creation, I hope everyone likes it…!”

The "Guitar Hero" who hid his true identity finished his introduction timidly and placed his hands on the guitar strings.

And this was the starting point of her first video with 200,000 views.

Chapter 16: Are you aware of being a bad person?

It is normal to become particularly concerned about the opinions of people around you during adolescence, but Toru Narumi has actually never been a person who cares much about the opinions of others.

It is impossible to completely ignore other people's opinions. As social animals, human beings are inherently instinctive and cannot truly act on their own. But compared to sensitive and thoughtful adolescent boys and girls, Ming Hai is indeed an open-minded and cheerful person.

Of course, his "open-mindedness" is different from that of others.

Others are open-minded because of: happy family, good relationship between parents. Affluent family, no strange loans and debts. A smooth life, rarely encountering major setbacks. Good-looking, never worried about being rejected by others because of appearance.

The reason why Ming Hai Che is open-minded and cheerful: I have let it go.

And after you let go, the countless difficulties and troubles in life will gradually become less worthy of your concern.
