The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

How could I fall here!!!

Ping Xin relied on his tenacious will to survive and forced his body to move at the last moment - he bent his upper body to support the ground and kicked out with his back legs. With a move of rabbit kicking eagle, he kicked the knife holder and the folding knife in his hand away. What followed was a one-sided "battle" -

"Quaaa-"

The gangster flew backwards and let out a strange cry. This move was 150% of his strength in a desperate situation, enough to kick a cow away!

Ping Xin spat out a mouthful of blood - but please don't get me wrong, the knife didn't cause him any harm. Instead, Ping Xin's counterattack stimulated a certain area in the body's blood circulation, the "point" where impurities were precipitated in the body due to the influence of the strange disease in the past and long-term unhealthy lifestyle.

Is this the good fortune brought by the three moles on Dio's left ear? Or is it the blessing of the super-lucky girl Asuna? Or... is it just a simple coincidence? A coincidence called "fate."

Maybe, maybe not.

No one in this world can truly control his own destiny unless he can transcend destiny itself.

"Look at me using blood to blind my eyes—!"

He actively used the ripples to spit out the blood clots caused by waste and impurities accumulated in the body. At this moment, Pingxin's condition was better than ever.

"Eat my ripples and run!"

After sending the thugs who had jumped out of the "graveyard" back again, Ping Xin turned his head calmly and looked at the man in a suit who was being pinned to the ground by the maid Delta.

"Next one—it's you!"

"Ahhhhhhhhh——don't come over here, don't come near me, ahhhhhhh——!!!"

Ignoring the suited man's pleas for mercy, his wet, stained pants, and Delta, who stood by with a look of disgust, Ping Xin approached him step by step. Endless fear washed over him like a tide, and he trembled as he spoke his final line of the day.

"You...who are you?!"

"Hmph... He's just a passing Kamen Rider. It's okay if you don't remember him—"

“Ah ...

There were no terribly poor explosion effects, just a simple straight punch that took away his yellow teeth. A punch with ripples guaranteed to "cure the disease immediately." Without going into details, in short, he will never hurt anyone again.

"...Are you okay, Karin...-san?"

Hana Rin, who had been stunned in her spot, suddenly rushed over and hugged Ping Xin tightly, refusing to let go no matter what he said. She wiped her snot and tears all over his body but refused to let go. Ah, this... No wonder they always say women are made of water, but isn't this a little too moist?

Having just survived a life-or-death battle, Hirayukoshi's genes for "species continuity" now hold an unprecedented advantage. To prevent his Tower of Babel from being discovered, he resorts to using the suddenly embraced Kadodane Karin to shield himself from view. Though he suffers from social anxiety, he's also a sexually normal high school freshman. Forced to freeze in every way, Hirayukoshi maintains his previous position, motionless.

"Ah wow! What's going on? Did you defeat all these bad guys by yourself, Taira no Kuni? You're so strong, you're like my Superman!"

Ichinose Asuna, who only appeared at the end of the match but was awarded Best Support, rushed over immediately. She would pat her friend Karin's head to comfort her, and then like a curious child, she would touch and poke here and there. Even after poking the two people she was holding, she seemed not satisfied and went to play with the punks who were lying on the ground after being killed by Delta.

He noticed that some of the thugs seemed to want to resist, but because they were touched by her, their bones "happened" to be cracked or even broken on the spot. A little cold sweat appeared on Ping Xin's forehead.

No, I have to find a way to get her to hold my thighs!

How can this be called a lucky girl?

Please call her the lucky goddess!

Chapter 4 Three Things (Additional )

After calling her younger sister Xiaoshi to explain the whole story and asking her to make decisions if there were any emergencies in the future, Asuka Matoki was silent for a moment before saying that she would ask their "old friend" to handle it, and that Hirayuko would just have to wait there for things to be resolved.

Afterward, the police arrived on time to address the aftermath. Aside from their bewildered expressions, like the first time they heard "200 Russian fans actually beat 2000 British fans," nothing else happened. The usual urban collusion that Heishin had imagined didn't occur. In his previous life, he'd always heard about the East Country police, but he hadn't expected them to be quite good.

It is worth mentioning that the pork chop rice at the police station is really delicious.

Surprisingly, the "Beirut" Sang, a top-ranked player in the speed racing section of the gaming center and an acquaintance of his, who he met at the police station, was also a police officer. However, even such a talented young man could only act incredulous after hearing the details of what had happened.

Just be awesome and that’s it!

Unfortunately, today, he hadn't been able to uncover the details of that so-called "friend." He had taken advantage of the transcript to try to inquire about their influence, but ultimately, he'd uncovered nothing. It was indeed a stretch for someone like him, an outsider, to handle such a task. Though they'd known each other for a long time, Pingxin only knew that they were influential in the East Country, particularly in the business world. The dividends they'd earned from the experience and lessons Pingxin had brought them from another world were substantial, and the daily ticking on their bank account was enough to give Pingxin a good idea of ​​their power.

However, if someone wanted to harm him, there were actually countless opportunities. After all, the "Shadow Legion", the housekeepers in Pingxin's house who remained silent on weekdays and tried their best to meet the master's requirements, were also hired through their channels. They were perfect hexagonal "tools" specifically for the upper class to use.

Actually, the name "Shadow," or was it a codename? It was simply a product of Ping Xin's capriciousness—though they could always appear instantly by simply saying "Hey," clapping their hands, or stomping their feet, it was still too feudal, too corrupt, too inhumane, too inhumane, wasn't it? Incidentally, the inspiration came from a cartoon he loved in his previous life, "Orange Dragon Adventures." In it, the heroine, Xiaojue, once received a special tattoo on her body, which gave her the ability to command the "Shadow Army" at will.

The taciturn yet utterly loyal "Shadows" immediately reminded the naive Ping Xin of the setting, hence the name. Ping Xin not only took it upon himself to give them these code names, but also mentally assigned them to each one, such as Alpha, Delta, and Gamma. However, he always addressed them simply as "Shadow." After all, he had no idea who the maid would be, emerging from a hidden corner of his career or some unknown corner...

*After a life-threatening "fierce battle", the first thing Ping Xin thought of was the maids in his own home. Is there a possibility that he is a maid complex?

"...By the way. Asuna, you may have helped me a lot today? Anyway, let me give you something as a thank you gift." After the group walked out of the police station, Pingxin said.

"Halalalal~ Actually, I was surprised enough to see Hirashin was so amazing today. And Karin seemed to want to say something more than me~"

Asuna was still smiling cheerfully and optimistically, and her bouncing steps attracted everyone's attention. Then, she suddenly attacked from behind and hugged Karin as usual.

"...Me? I...saw the wireless earphones and charging case you left on my desk. Even though you wrote on the note that they were for us, I've always wanted to find a chance to return them to you—"

Kadodashi Karin pulled Hiraishin's wireless earphones from her small bag. One could imagine the serious-minded woman, after giving Asuna a lesson, struggling to figure out how to contact Hiraishin and return the earphones. While earphones aren't guaranteed to be restocked here, Hiraishin's items aren't necessarily the most expensive, but they're certainly the best. The fact that she refused such a "cheap" offer speaks volumes about her character.

"...But don't you really want anything? Anything will do."

If Hiranobu hadn't appeared, things might have ended peacefully, without bringing back such unpleasant memories for Kadodashi Karin, and without causing them to waste time at the police station, which is not a pleasant experience after all. Because of his past life, he considered himself an adult, and whenever bad things happened to these children, he felt he had failed in his duty. Like the heroes he admired, he couldn't just ignore the bad things happening before his eyes...

After hearing what Hiranobu said, Asuna expressed her wish, and Kadotaki Karin, who was more introverted than her friend, also expressed her wish after a slight hesitation.

Let Nero come back to school and...want to do something to thank Ping Xin.

But seriously, how could there be such a perfect woman in the world, whose figure, looks, character, and personality all so perfectly matched his aesthetic? Was this some kind of two-dimensional world?! Looking at his avatar's "world," which he now completely controlled, performing complex and coherent hip-hop moves, Ping Xin was momentarily unsure. He couldn't tell if his confusion was due to this "division" or the anomaly he'd experienced in the previous "world."

At the same time, Ping Xin also felt sincerely sorry for Meganelle who disappeared without a trace.

It turns out that you are really 17 years old. I thought you were just being stubborn. I had imagined that your figure was really...

However, with such a big deal, Nel, whose simple personality makes it clear she'd definitely stick up for her friend in a crucial moment, isn't there... Sure enough, the "old friend" those thugs were hoping to find through Karin's information is her? After all, Asuna is the goddess of luck; if they were to take action against her, they'd probably experience a real-life "Final Destination." Karin is a serious, hardworking kid, and she doesn't seem like she'd be the one to start trouble. And as for Murokasa Akane... who is she? (doge)

Okay, just a joke, but Ping Xin really didn't think that Zhu Yin, who he had been watching just now, would be the source of the incident. It wasn't like she was using the script of "The Tuner".

I don't have a copy of "The Tuner" yet, so I might as well find a chance to rewrite it based on my vague memories. After all, excellent literary works, like more "new" music, can serve as a stepping stone to open up the minds of those who come after them.

But right now... there are still at least three things to be solved, but fortunately the formula for victory has been completed -

All that remains is to work hard step by step!

Chapter 8000: A Promise with a Father (5678, plus )

Ping Xin, who had eaten two bowls of pork chop rice in a row at the police station, was finally kicked out by the intolerable "Beirut"-san.

"Don't you have something to do? Then hurry up and do it! The police station is not a place where you can get a free pork chop rice! Seriously..."

Even if he offers to pay, the police station is not your cafeteria!

After wiping his mouth, Ping Xin set off on his way home. Because there's still a lot to do today, I can't rest yet~

On the way home, Pingxin went shopping at the nearby shopping street. He had to admit, the classic croquettes at Kitazawa Seibut Shop were delicious. But wouldn't Yumei really be losing money by giving them away for free every day? Judging from his past life, meat prices in the East Kingdom weren't as cheap as Uncle Sam's. Could this be the result of the alliance between Yan Kingdom and the East Kingdom? No wonder even the fruit prices were much lower than I'd remembered from my past life.

"Hirashin-chan...-kun? By the way, how did you become like this? Ah, Ikumi knows, you must have been using the latest height-increasing insoles!"

Did you just realize that you didn't recognize my face? What on earth were you thinking when you gave me the croquettes? Is it possible that the way you distinguish people isn't based on sight and hearing, but on some mysterious sixth sense? And—

"No way! Rather, why do all of you suspect that I'm wearing height-increasing shoes?!"

Well, growing 10cm taller in just one week, and even growing so much hair, is certainly a bit suspicious. Maybe next time I'll try using the "Time and Spirit House" explanation, maybe they'll buy it? If no one buys my honest explanation, I might as well just give up and use some weird excuses to get away with it!

"Oh, by the way, it seems like Thrush and the others are looking for you. They should be waiting for you at your house now."

"Thank you, Yumei. I'll treat you to some snacks later, Ciao~"

"Bye~Bye~, Pingxin-kun——"

A short walk brought him to Heishin's house. Unsurprisingly, all five members of Afterglow were present, sitting on the sofa, watching TV and chatting like a girls' get-together. Seriously... they looked completely relaxed. Were they sure they really needed me for something, and not just here to get some free snacks, drinks, training grounds, and even dinner? Heishin tried to slip away as if nothing had happened, but was caught red-handed by Mizukuri, who had been keeping a peripheral eye on the entrance.

"Oh wow, isn't he the busy guy who goes out every day and doesn't even go to school? How come he's on a date with four girls at once, and even ended up at the police station? Could it be that he's afraid of getting chopped off and went to the police for help?"

"...I simply ran into a clueless thug on the street and taught him a lesson—the Mizukuri I know is definitely not that smart...or articulate. Normally, she'd just come right up to me when she meets someone. That's not her way of saying 'hello' at all—"

You daring monster, you actually dared to pretend to be her! Who the hell are you?!

A vein bulged faintly on the forehead of the black-haired girl with red highlights. She leaped from the sofa and trotted over to give him a kick, only to be bruised by Ping Xin's leg. Who dares to talk about the world of iron and platinum and plastic now? Isn't that hardness incredible?!

Well, this familiar angle, familiar strength, just right!

Because he didn't have to fight the monster that transformed into his neighbor's girl, Pingxin, who was acting as a Kamen Rider today, was in a good mood. It turns out that people with kind hearts will always encounter good things~

"...So, what do you want from me? Are you here to cram for your first monthly exam soon? Or is there something wrong with band practice?"

Asuka Maheishin acted like "I am your best big brother", but when Ueda Gawabone stood up, he couldn't help but shrink his neck. After all, this guy was a more heavyweight.

"Hey~ Pingxin, I didn't notice it from a distance before, but it's obvious today when I got closer. Oh~, we were originally the same height, how did you suddenly become so tall? How much padding did you use?"

On the second day after Mizukari moved in, which was also the first day she took leave due to voice problems, her four childhood friends came to visit their beloved after school. After learning that there was nothing wrong (they didn't tell them about the family conflict, only that they were recovering here with the special medicine from Yan Country), they continued to visit from time to time, trying to give them some space to themselves. Therefore, their meetings were rare, casting a dark shadow over the restless red-haired girl.

But you too?!

Why does everyone think I wear height-increasing insoles, not just one or two, or one or two layers?

I was so angry and cold, I wondered if this society could ever get better. I forgot about it later.

"...Don't interrupt, let's get down to business."

"Um... Ping Xin, after that day, I hesitated for a long time before finally telling everyone what happened. As expected, no matter what the problem is, it's best to solve it together, right?!"

No, actually you can’t really solve this problem——

Even Heishin was merely a "means" to resolve the issue. After all, this was a matter between the father and daughter of the Mitake family, and it could only be resolved between the two of them. But it's wonderful... such genuine emotion. Isn't it just the right thing for all the companions to work together to resolve the incident? In that case, I will protect your dreams and your bond!

"...Yeah, I think I understand. Don't worry, this time I really have the key to open the final door. Everyone just needs to study, practice, and perform on stage as usual. I'll take care of the rest."

"Is it really okay? If you ask, I, Mocha-chan, will help you, too. Hibiki, Tutu-zuku, Tomoe, and everyone else in the shopping district will come to help, too."

"That's right! Brother Pingxin, please trust us a little more. We are not children anymore!"

No, only children would say every day that they are no longer children——

"...I'll definitely be able to handle it before the monthly exams. As for you guys, you're trying to juggle the exams and studying at the same time. Don't try to do both and fail at either. The same goes for performing at LiveHouses. Gaining experience is great, but if anyone overworks and falls, I won't dare help you next time, okay?"

As he spoke, Ping Xin deliberately glanced at the rebellious daughter, Mizuki Ran. Why didn't she glare back immediately? It seemed Ran had grown up, too... Ping Xin felt a surge of emotion, like an old father. Although he'd never expressed it out loud, Ping Xin had always harbored a special kind of expectation for them, like an old father who had watched them grow up, yearning for them to grow up happily and joyfully.

"By the way, Hirayuko just said 'for real this time', right? If that's the case, then does that mean all those times he told us 'it's okay' and 'it's almost done' were lies?"

Aoba Mocha, you, a scheming girl pretending to be a lazy cat, shouldn't say anything at this time to ruin the atmosphere!

Ping Xin broke out in a cold sweat when he realized that everyone's attention was focused on him after hearing these words.

"...Ahahaha—you guys go ahead and do your work. I'm going to go out for a walk to digest the food."

In this way, the actual owner of this house was "kicked out" by the uninvited evil guests, which is a pity.

"...Speaking of which, it seems impolite to visit someone empty-handed, doesn't it?"

After returning to the shopping street, Pingxin came to the Mitake family's house with souvenirs, and the person who opened the door was Mitake Ume, the leader of the century-old flower arranging school "Mitake School" and Mitake Ran's father.

"...Hello, Uncle Meizhumei. I'm truly sorry for disturbing you with my sudden visit. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

"You're too polite. It's my worthless daughter who has received so much care from you. I should be the one to personally invite you to come and express my gratitude."

After receiving the gift, Mei Zhumei curiously opened the warm oil paper bag.

Hey, croquettes, why?

Would a normal person offer street-side croquettes as a gift when visiting an elder? Or is this just some kind of etiquette popular among young people these days? Regardless, Mei Zhumei solemnly placed a bag of hot, freshly baked croquettes on the dining table and washed her hands.

Back in the reception room, Mei Zhumei saw Ping Xin sitting upright in the lower seat, and her heart was filled with even more approval. Although the gift was strange, his appearance was handsome, and his clothes, though not fancy, were clean, without any frivolous mistakes like shirt showing through pants. Most importantly, he sat upright, his eyes sparkling, and he hadn't lost the youthful spirit that his past hardships had allowed.

He seems to have made great achievements in his beloved music and personal business, and can be said to be gifted. His academic performance is also among the best, and he is really an outstanding young man no matter how you look at him. It would be great if his own Mizukuri was just as "mature and stable" as him.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Ping Xinjun. Is it okay for me to call you that? I've seen your kindness in helping us resolve the misunderstanding we had a few days ago. So, I'll just call you by your name, taking advantage of my age."

Yes, in the East, calling each other by name is something that can only be done after a certain degree of relationship, but Pingxin always acts like "I know, but I will dare to do it again next time", and it goes in one ear and out the other. As a result, every time he meets an acquaintance, he still subconsciously calls them by name.

"...I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. You're the leader of the Meizhu Sect. How can you call me a 'nobody' whose only criterion is age? I'm the one who should be asked to take care of you. Please continue to call me by my name."

Yabai, it’s really troublesome when people from the East talk.

Pingxin, who was used to being lazy, was a little unaccustomed to such serious occasions. In the past, when he attended formal occasions such as banquets and business dinners, Pingxin could take advantage of his childish status to eat whatever he wanted and run away whenever he wanted. It turned out that people gain and lose a lot in the process of growing up.
