She did not integrate into any group in the class. She just relied on her excellence and beauty to easily attract a group of boys as her fans. She was completely independent and formed her own group outside the conventional small circles in Japanese schools.

Her attitude towards other girls is also the same, no matter they are the current stars at the top of the school's ecological niche or the little transparent ones like girls, there is absolutely no difference.

The girl was attracted to such a Kashiwazaki Sena and became her follower for a while, and was only one step away from becoming friends.

However, Kashiwazaki Hoshina's equal treatment of everyone, coupled with the fact that a large number of boys were attracted to her, eventually caused dissatisfaction among other live-action girls.

So, the bullying began.

Chapter 300 Don't Forget Me

To be honest, there's not much to say about the content of the bullying. It's just the kind of shabby behavior that's common among girls in island countries.

But the most important thing is that she almost became Kashiwazaki Hoshina's first same-sex friend, but because she was afraid that she would suffer the same treatment, she chose to betray and stood on the side of the group of real girls and joined in the bullying of Kashiwazaki Hoshina.

The mop water that dealt a fatal blow to Kashiwazaki Sena's mentality was what she poured from the toilet cubicle with the dirty bucket under the coercion of those girls.

The reason why she appeared here this time was only because Kashiwazaki Sena once mentioned her to her father, saying that she might be his first friend, so she was invited to attend this memorial service.

"I really didn't do that much..." She tried to defend herself, but her voice became weaker and weaker: "After Kashiwazaki dropped out of school and was admitted to Fengnozaki, I also regretted doing that to her..."

"Since you had a crush on her before, why did you join others in bullying her?" Shiki glanced at the pale-faced Kashiwazaki Sena, and then asked the girl.

"Because everyone is doing that. If I don't join them, I'll become a loner and be isolated and ostracized by them like Kashiwazaki-san..."

The girl spoke hastily as if to prove her innocence.

"So in the end, just to protect yourself and to be the one who could read the atmosphere, you attacked Sena?" Shiki asked.

"Don't make it sound so easy! I've been troubled for a long time too! No one wants to encounter something like that! I had no choice either. If Kashiwazaki-san was in my position at that time, she would definitely do the same thing! Because everyone is like this..."

"certainly not!"

Kashiwazaki Sena suddenly spoke up.

She looked at him and said firmly, "As for me... 'Kashiwazaki Hoshina', even if everyone would do that, she would never do that! Although she studies well, she is not smart and always messes up a lot of things. But even so, she can still distinguish right from wrong! If she has to do that just to be 'social' and to make so-called 'friends'! Then she should be alone from the beginning!"

The girl's excuse was denied by Kashiwazaki Sena, which made her face pale. She could only be stubborn and said, "You don't know anything. How can you say such nonsense? Besides, Kashiwazaki is a kind person. If she knew my difficulties, she would definitely understand me and forgive me..."

"I won't forgive you."

Kashiwazaki Sena looked at the other person and said seriously: "Kashiwazaki Sena will never forgive you."

At this moment, Kashiwazaki Hoshina looked nothing like the silly and cute girl she usually was, but a young lady with noble temperament and dignity.

"She might thank you for giving her a bucket of water to sober her up, but what's lost is lost forever, so she will never forgive you."

"…Whatever you say, I don't have anything else to say."

The girl looked at them speechlessly for a while, then turned around and left quickly - she did not go back into the church, but left the church directly from the side door of the courtyard.

No, it’s more like fleeing than leaving.

Perhaps the longer she stayed in a place like this, the more uncomfortable her conscience, which had not yet been completely extinguished, would become.

After watching the other person's back disappear at the door, Kashiwazaki Sena suddenly laughed out loud.

But her smile was uglier than her crying.

"I was so stupid in the past. I was so humiliated by such a thing and such a guy that I wished I could die. Even after I went to Fengnosaki, I never thought about taking revenge on them. I just wanted to live my life well..." Kashiwazaki Sena choked up a little: "But even so, I was just glad that I didn't become the same person as that guy. No matter how bad my life was, I didn't go down the wrong path. I didn't become so hateful in order to fit in with the fake 'big family'!"

"Yeah." Si Ji nodded and said gently, "You've done very well. Although there are many regrets, even after going through so much, your heart is still clear, like phosphophyllite... I can testify to that."

Kashiwazaki Hona stared at Shiki in a daze. After a moment, she smiled and stretched her hands. "After I figured it out, I felt like the stone that had been pressing on my chest was removed. I felt much better all of a sudden. Even if I can never change back, it seems like there's nothing to be afraid of."

"Don't set up such a weird flag. If it falls off, I won't be able to catch it back." Si Ji also chuckled and joked.

Although he did not check the notebook in the system inventory, Shiki was almost certain that Kashiwazaki Sena no longer had the depressed feeling she had before, and her puberty syndrome was probably cured.

The girl didn't know the trick, she just took out the ring that Si Ji had given her just now: "This amulet feels very useful. With your company, I feel that the uncomfortable umbrella feeling that has been holding me back for three years has disappeared all of a sudden..."

“It’s great to be able to help.”

Si Ji, who was thinking about how to make the girl perform a 'resurrection from the dead' drama, echoed this casually.

"Washimiya-san... no, Shiki-kun, although you said before that there aren't that many cases of love at first sight in this world, I think there might still be some. Wouldn't that world be more romantic?"

"Even though we've only known each other for a short time, it's enough for him to feel my sincerity. As long as Shiki-kun is here, I feel like the days ahead won't be so difficult..."

"So, can you agree to a small request of mine?" The girl looked at Four Seasons, her sapphire eyes as beautiful as phosphophyllite, containing a certain sweet emotion that seemed to overflow at any time: "Even if you are alone, please never forget me."

"Ah... yeah. No problem."

Shiki came to his senses and thought that the girl probably just had PTSD because she was forgotten by Oosaka Taiga, so he nodded decisively.

Anyway, the adolescent syndrome has probably been cured, and no one will regard her as a "stranger" anymore, and naturally no one will forget her anymore.

“Great…”

The girl's brilliant smile was only half revealed, and she clearly had a lot more to say, but the next moment, her figure disappeared in the courtyard with a faint floral scent.

The ring inlaid with phosphophyllite fell from mid-air and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.

Chapter 301 Whose Ring

Phosphophyllite is a very fragile gemstone.

Fortunately, as a prop produced by the system with some metaphysical effects, the ring surface was not broken.

After the initial shock, Si Ji stepped forward and picked up the ring, and then the system instructions belatedly appeared on his retina.

[Whose ring (Phosphophyllite): This ring is very valuable because it uses a rare gemstone as the ring face. It was once just a token that could bring a little good luck, but after being baptized by the girl's sincere wish, it seems to have undergone some changes and stored memories that should not exist.]

[Note: If you extract that wish and give it to an alien creature called an 'Incubator', you might be able to create a magical girl.]

Si Ji swiped away the item description box, then opened his own inventory and found the Puberty Syndrome Notes.

The content recorded above has indeed increased a lot, and new text has appeared on the once blank page.

[Bury Syndrome: Because of the experience that is more painful and desperate than death, she will regard the end that goes against her biological instinct as a relief in her heart. Perhaps she herself did not even notice how dead and empty it is in the center of the vortex that constantly devours her numb heart.]

[Affected party: Kashiwazaki Sena]

[Treatment plan: To heal past wounds, it is not necessary to have a noble spirit, but a heart that is unwilling to go along with the filth of the world, which gives her new insights. In addition, she made a promise with the boy that he would never forget her, which finally allowed her to accept the pain of the past. However, the illusory body cannot carry the belated sincerity. After waking up, she naturally will not remember everything she has never participated in. Fortunately, her efforts will not be in vain, at least the relief will not disappear with it. ]

[Treatment effect: cured]

"Sure enough, Kashiwazaki and Oosaka's puberty syndrome only appears after the problem is solved..." Shiki resisted the urge to throw the notebook to the ground and stomp on it: "What's the use of you being such an afterthought!"

At this time, there was a commotion in the church.

Even if he didn't go in, just by looking at the words on the notebook, Si Ji could guess what happened inside.

He casually put the notebook and ring into his inventory.

As a result, the notebook was put in easily as usual, but the ring failed. The system directly popped up a window "Cannot store other people's items" on Si Ji's face.

This pop-up window has only been seen when Si Ji had just traveled to this world and was experimenting with the inventory storage function: he could not directly take items from other people, nor could he directly put other people's clothes into the inventory, causing the other person to instantly enter the naked run effect.

Fortunately, with the advent of the Stand-in World, things that were impossible in the past have now become easy - the only difficulty is how to strip a person's clothes within five seconds. It's not bad in the summer, but it's quite challenging in the winter.

While thinking about all sorts of things, Si Ji put the ring in his pocket and walked into the church.

As expected, the church, which had been quiet and solemn just now, was now in chaos. Many people gathered around the mass altar and surrounded the place where the coffin had been.

Shiki found Oosaka Taiga who was still eating a piece of watermelon on the periphery - it's not an adjective, but this guy really didn't know where he got a piece of watermelon from and was eating it.

"What happened?" Si Ji asked her.

"The girl who had been dead for three days climbed out of the coffin. The doctor who was originally invited to check on her just in case someone got heat stroke at the memorial service said she was in good condition and might have just faked her death."

With melon seeds on the corner of his mouth, Oosaka Taiga exclaimed: "Modern medicine is really amazing."

"...No, this has nothing to do with modern medicine, right?" Si Ji couldn't help but complain.

He looked in the direction of the mass platform again, and saw Kashiwazaki Tenma who came hurriedly. Shiki had met him at the Toyonozaki board of directors. The men's kimono he always wore and the short black hair tied in pigtails made it hard to believe that he was the father of the blonde and blue-eyed Kashiwazaki Sena.

The other party dispersed the crowd surrounding Kashiwazaki Sena, then hugged his resurrected daughter, tears streaming down his face.

Kashiwazaki Sena looked as if she didn't understand what was going on and had a silly and confused expression on her face.

She glanced at the audience and seemed a little embarrassed about the current situation. Although she was not shy, she was still a little shy to be hugged by her father in front of so many people.

And Shiki also noticed that the other party saw him and Oosaka Taiga, but his gaze did not stop for a moment.

It seems his guess was not wrong.

Although he was not sure why he could not see her "corpse" in the coffin in the past two days, Kashiwazaki Sena's body had indeed always been there.

The Kashiwazaki Sena that he and Oosaka Taiga met should be the source of mental pollution caused by puberty syndrome, a ghost-like existence or a "thought body".

Human memories are stored in the brain. Kashiwazaki Sena in the form of the 'thought body' does not have the ability to record information, so her body naturally will not share that memory. She only gained a sense of relief or emotion as a symbol of recovery from puberty syndrome.

So it’s normal that Kashiwazaki Sena doesn’t remember them now.

Shiki felt somewhat disappointed, but he had no feelings towards Kashiwazaki Sena. This disappointment was just a common thought for men when faced with a situation where the beautiful girl who had just confessed to him no longer recognized him the next moment.

In order to divert his attention from all this nonsense, Shiki rubbed Oosaka Taiga's head and jokingly said, "It looks like you won't get a seat at the table, Oosaka."

The girl's hair is thick and feels exceptionally smooth, and feels very good. Based on Si Ji's limited experience in rubbing heads, this guy's hair should be at the level of maintaining third place or striving for second place.

"Wulu Sai, don't make it sound like I don't care about anything and only care about eating!"

The girl brushed away Si Ji's hand in dissatisfaction.

Then her expression softened a little. It was hard to imagine such a gentle expression on the face of Oosaka Taiga, who always behaved very irritably: "Besides, compared to the feast I had because of her funeral, I always feel that it is better to let that girl continue to live with that silly expression... Strange, I obviously don't know her, why do I have such a feeling?" Then she glared at Shiki who was showing a relieved smile: "And you, don't show such a disgusting smile!"

"Don't worry, since I can't have a seat, let me treat Lord Oosaka to a feast."

"Really? Well, I mean, reluctantly."

The two left the church noisily.

But precisely because of this, none of them noticed that the blonde girl who had just been helped out of the coffin was looking at their backs, frowning and covering her chest, with an expression full of confusion and puzzlement, as if she was having difficulty breathing.

Chapter 302: Lost Things

I could hear my father crying with joy, the priest praising the Lord loudly, and some people I knew and didn't know sending me blessings or simply trying to build relationships. It was so chaotic that I couldn't make out what they were saying.

They all seemed to be expressing their joy at their 'resurrection from the dead'.

But Kashiwazaki Sena was just confused. Besides that, she felt as if a large piece of her heart had been taken away, and she had a feeling of emptiness.

The feeling of depression lingered in her heart, making it impossible for her to calm down.

Although she had no basis for this, she felt that the clue to everything lay in the backs of the two people who had just walked out of the church side by side. At the moment they left, it was as if someone was shouting in her heart and mind, asking her to keep them and not leave her.

But Kashiwazaki Sena is a good kid.

So she couldn't get rid of her father who was so happy that he cried, nor could she ask those people who were surrounding her with smiles to move away. She could only put on a business-like smile to deal with the adults who gave her all kinds of blessings.

It doesn't matter.

They look about the same age as me, so they must be students too. Maybe I can meet them in school in the future.

Even if I miss it for a little while, it doesn't matter at all.

That's right, I have to act more sociable and obedient, even if it's just for...

Hey, what was it for?

'wrong. '

The voice suddenly spoke in her heart.

'This is not right!'

But everyone is blessing me... No matter what they think in their hearts, at least they are smiling at me now, and I can't do anything to displease others... This is common sense, and the most basic thing is to look at the atmosphere...

"It shouldn't be like this. If you were Kashiwazaki Sena, you would know what to do now."

It was as if a string in her heart was touched, and Kashiwazaki Sena suddenly had some kind of enlightenment.

Yes, why did I forget?

I have just decided that I will never do anything bad just to 'read the atmosphere' or 'fit in with the crowd', but why am I now subconsciously overwhelmed by the atmosphere again and choosing something I don't want to do?

I woke up from the long dark night, not to continue living the same way as before!

Although I don’t remember it, someone changed me!

"Dad, sorry, I need to leave for a while!" Kashiwazaki Sena's eyes became determined.
