The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

Chapter 69: Going to Asahigaoka, with Meigan

"..."

As a victim of a bird attack, Ping Xin has something to say:

Although it is very happy and touching when a miracle happens, we still hope that birds with almost no sphincters can manage the timing of going to the toilet, even if it is a difficult thing to do!

Luckily, Hirashin was able to dive into the lake like last time and then come out to be quickly dried by the heat of the red waves. Asuna, Karin, Akane, and Nel were having fun, playing with their animal friends like Disney princesses, but why was I, a prince, being treated like this!?

Wait, what about Delta? She'd been silent the entire time, but she'd been there, sitting on a blanket with everyone during the meal. So what was she doing now?

"...What are you doing?" Ping Xin wanted to complain.

"Lord Pingxin, can I keep it?" Delta asked cautiously, pointing to a small brown bird that was perched on her left forearm while eating a piece of meat in her right hand.

"If I remember correctly, this is a '芔╧uang' (fourth tone). It sounds very crazy from the name, and of course it is also a crazy little bird. Don't look at its small size. Unlike the chubby passerine bird just now, it is a real raptor of the hawk family." Pingxin gave Delta some extracurricular tutoring, but it was obvious that Delta, who had failed in the academic subjects and relied purely on fighting ability and wild instinct to fight his way up, didn't understand what he was saying at all.

"So... can I keep it?"

Although the situation is not very good, but I still think that the students are very good at it. The students are very good at it. I don't think that the students are very good at it. I don't think that the students are very good at it.

Most are resident birds, but some are migratory. I wonder if this bird has a colony...

But aside from these rational considerations, Pingxin also wanted to give Delta some small compensation as a person. Although she rarely did housework over the years, she had done a lot of dirty and tiring work when traveling with him, and she never complained or regretted it.

In fact, Ping Xin had long regarded her as the older sister next door who was not very smart. If she was a loser, he would have supported her until she died. Now this little wish was naturally -

"Okay...but I have one condition, and that is that you must treat it well, okay?"

It was precisely because Delta was such a simple-minded, innocent girl that Pingxin said this, because occasionally Delta would catch some animals and bring them home to raise. He thought it was just her sympathy or a new hobby, but after a few days, the animals she had just fattened up were on everyone's table. So Pingxin forbade her from bringing animals home randomly after that.

"Well, thank you, Master Pingxin. That's very kind of you, Horus." She teased the bird in her left hand, and it cooperated by not moving around, allowing her to touch it. It's only been a few minutes, and you've even come up with a name. The most puzzling thing is that you actually recognize this bird. Could it be a mutant?

"Well, I'll ask someone to take over the shift later, and you can go home and play with your birds. Figure out how to take care of this child first. Also... this is a little gift, just consider it an advance happy birthday to you." As he said that, Pingxin pointed his finger, transmitting the ripple power to Delta and the monster named Horus.

Besides making them healthier, longer, and stronger, this also helps them communicate better—

Although it seems that this mysterious intimacy has no power to help or not...but at least it can kill bacteria and get rid of insects, and it will also be more convenient for physical examinations and registrations afterwards, so it is better than nothing.

Just thinking about the time when Delta will carry out missions in the future——

"Horus, mark my enemies", "Horus grant me sight!", "Eagle's eyes"!

“…Puff——”

"grown ups?"

"Um...it's okay, I just...I just suddenly remembered something happy. It's okay, it's okay...Um, you continue playing with the bird, don't run around, we should be leaving soon."

"Yes!"

......

...

..

Asahigaoka Village, a small rural village near Tomakomai. If you were to ask why Hirayoshi brought his girlfriends all the way here, it was definitely to meet Mikan's grandparents. Of course, Miyauchi Renka and the other children from Asahigaoka Village hadn't forgotten either—

"...We're here, Master Heishin."

"Well, after we go through the tunnel, we'll enter the village. I'll show you the way from then on." Hei Xin paused and added, "There's a small shop near the tunnel. Let's stop there and buy something. Oh, it's called a confectionery shop here, right?"

But, it doesn't matter anyway~

......

...

..

"Hey, you guys from the confectionery shop, long time no see—" After opening the car window, Ping Xin said to the store.

Although the weather was cold and she closed the door so she couldn't hear anything else, the moment she saw Ping Xin's face, she rushed out without a care in the world. Why? Because this guy was the source of her product's poor sales!!!

"You guy-!"

He was about to get angry, but seeing one, two, three... a lot of beautiful girls following Hirayuma, the young shop owner, whose real name is Kagayama Kaede, abruptly stopped the car. Since you're in a large group... ahem, since we're acquaintances, I won't hit you in the face now!

"Ahem... aren't you studying in Tokyo, kid? Why did you suddenly leave before and come back now? Isn't it winter vacation now?" She lectured Ping Xin like an adult. Although she was only in her early 20s, it was inevitable that she would develop such a motherly personality after taking care of little kids for so long. Otherwise, they usually wouldn't be that familiar with each other.

"Ahaha, I promised the child's grandparents that I would visit them in the winter, and so I stopped by during the school's autumn outing. Don't worry, I've already informed the school in advance." Ping Xin touched Meganelu's head, and Meganelu finally realized it belatedly.

"What, so they are!?"

Although I had a vague feeling about it at the time, I completely forgot about it afterwards because of a series of things that happened. In a sense, this is also a kind of "genetic".

"Then let's go first, Miss Feng——"

"I already told you I'm not a 'sweet shop guy'! Seriously, these kids nowadays... huh?"

When Kagayama Feng remembered this incident a few seconds later and rushed out the door, the car and people who had been parked there had disappeared.

"What... If you remembered my name, you should have called it from the beginning, you little brat!"

Chapter 70 I'm Back

"I'm telling you, Ping Xin fell into the river earlier. You'll never guess why! And..." As the group moved forward, Meganelle's spirits grew increasingly high in the car. Not only did she stick her head out the window, letting her long aho-mane hair flow in the wind, but she also occasionally pointed and described what the place looked like this summer and the stories that happened there.

Nel usually doesn't talk much when she's not playing games or fighting, and doesn't seem to participate in Asuna and the others' daily foolishness, as if she has distanced herself from others. But in reality, that's not the case. Although Nel and Asuna, who are the same age, did not go to school together from the beginning, but were held back as seniors, no one in this family cares about such trivial matters.

Except for when I was little, I might take it out to tease Nel, and use it as a cheap provocation.

The most important characteristics of Meganelle are probably purity and directness.

If he likes something, he likes it; if he hates something, he hates to compromise on anything. He always prefers to try his best to face things head-on. He is probably the kind of handsome character who can be respected by the protagonists even when he is on the enemy side. Although he will take action for morality and loyalty, he will do it in his own way rather than using despicable means instructed by his superiors.

It seems a bit off topic... But it is this pure heart and straightforward attitude towards life that makes people envy and love her. In order to protect such a heart and such a girl, Ping Xin just used the power that might have hidden dangers. He can be said to be a top wife protector.

Because he likes Neloo like this, even when Pingxin is scolded by her directly or tells her embarrassing stories like this, he rarely gets angry or holds a grudge. At most, he will just turn his head away and keep silent. Sometimes it is really hard to figure out who is the "girlfriend" between the two.

"But come to think of it, those were some really good memories..." Nilu's words also brought Pingxin back to this summer. In addition to the leisurely and fresh rural life, he also met some interesting people and things here. I wonder how everyone is doing now?

But it doesn't matter, because we will soon find out -

......

...

..

"Oh, this is so annoying~ I missed the bus again today. I'm going to freeze to death~" Natsumi Koshitani tightened her down jacket and stamped her feet to keep warm.

Ever since Grandpa Meigan in the village somehow managed to find someone to set up a courier pick-up and delivery point, things that used to require traveling to the city can now be bought online. Even the elderly can do the shopping for you, which is incredibly convenient. While things have improved somewhat in the village over the past six months, it still remains a remote rural area. After all, the bus from the Asahigaoka branch of the school to the village takes about two hours to arrive!

"Xia Hai, if you feel cold, don't talk. If you breathe in the cold air, you'll have a stomachache again when you come back."

"Okay, Xiao Xiaoju~"

"Don't call me Xiao Xiaoju, I'm your elder sister!" The long-haired girl who looked as petite as a rag doll shouted at Natsumi. Her name was Koshigaya Xiaoju, Natsumi Koshigaya's elder sister.

Although she is petite, she is indeed the older sister in terms of blood relationship. Although she always wears old clothes that her younger sister can't wear, she is indeed the older sister in terms of age. Although she is always teased, she is indeed the older sister in terms of academic ability.

But the winter in Hokkaido is really cold. After saying a few more words, Xiao Xiaoju felt a cold breeze on her neck. She tightened her scarf and stopped talking. The others also felt the cold and did not speak, so they fell into a period of silence.

"..."

A first-grade elementary school student named Miyauchi Renka was also silent, but she was not silent because of the cold. The main reason for her silence was that she was observing the scenery around her. She was a talented girl with different sensibility and outstanding artistic cells. At this moment, she was using the observation method she learned from books to pay attention to the world.

Having forgotten to bring her scarf, Natsumi Koshigaya tried to rub her sister Komari's scarf, but was ignored with a "humph". She then put her freezing enchanted hand into the scarf and pressed it against her neck. Then the two began a two-person chase. While they were playing around, a car arrived.

But the buses they usually take definitely won't come that fast, and this is a cheap countryside place. Who would drive all the way to this deserted school with less than 10 students including the teachers?

But soon, the mystery was solved——

"Hey, guys, want a ride?"

Without even a moment's mourning for cheap public transportation, who's next on the battlefield?!

......

...

..

"The heater is high... Xiao Xiaoju, I'll return your scarf."

"At least fold it and return it to me, Natsumi!"

The usual sisterly quarrel took place in Pingxin's car a few minutes later.

"Haha, even though we haven't seen each other for a few months, it's really comforting to see that the relationship between you sisters is still so good—"

"Where's the good thing!?" x2

No no, it’s really good, right?

At this moment, there were five more people in the car, including the Koshigaya sisters, Hotaru Ichijo, Renka Miyauchi, and the eldest son of the Koshigaya family, Taku Koshigaya, who didn't say a word the whole time and was almost left behind. Together with Delta, the driver, Hirashin, and his four girlfriends, the car was already full. Fortunately, three of them were very petite so they could still fit in.

Here we have to mention the vehicle that Pingxin used for this trip. They were riding in a luxuriously modified large commercial vehicle that can carry 10 people at a time. It has fully covered bulletproof one-way glass, and it can basically be driven anywhere as long as the road conditions are not particularly bad or the road is not in a mountainous area with high undulations. Although it looks ordinary, many black technology products have been secretly added inside.

However, it's a bit disappointing that it can't transform into an Autobot Gundam.

"Come to think of it, Hirayuko-senpai, isn't it still the semester? Why are you here all of a sudden? And you brought so many...senpai with you?"

The person who was speaking had black hair that went down to his shoulders and a pair of intellectual brown eyes. He was 164cm tall and a part of his chest was very round and full, but this was just appearance, so don't be fooled!

Why? Because you can tell she's only an elementary school student by looking at the traditional red schoolbag she's carrying! Even Hei Xin, with his incredible imagination, can't fathom how she, who was just an average elementary school student a year ago, managed to achieve a figure many adults can't even reach in fifth grade.

If asking such a topic to an elementary school girl wasn't so sensitive (and dangerous), he would have satisfied his curiosity long ago!

"Haha, I just took the opportunity of the school trip to stop by and see you. I can't stay too long. After all, we agreed to meet in winter, right?"

......

...

..

After sending everyone home, Pingxin and his group arrived at the old house of the Meigan family. Unlike the last time they came, this time the wooden sign with the surname "Meigan" was hung neatly on the door, without any covering.

"...Grandpa and grandma, I'm back!"

The old man in the house was holding the teacup with his hand trembling slightly. It seemed that this house was going to be lively again.

Chapter 71: What to do when it snows?

"So it's fine that you suddenly came back without saying a word, but what are these pretty girls doing here?" Grandpa Mei Gan crossed his arms and had a serious expression on his face. Opposite the coffee table was Ping Xin, who also had a straight posture and was sitting upright, a posture he would never normally use.

It is not difficult to guess the movements of Grandma Migan Ryuka, Asuna, Karin, Akane, Nel, and Delta. I believe that those of you with ninja-like super hearing must be able to hear the fighting and running water sounds in the bathroom clearly, right?

"Ahaha, this...is a classmate."

Hey, classmate...would an ordinary classmate accompany you to this remote little village where you have nothing?!

Damn it, I really feel looked down upon!

Feeling looked down upon, Grandpa Mei Gan took out the pipe that Ping Xin had given him before, but he didn't put any tobacco into it. He just kept rubbing and weighing it in his hands as if... looking for a position that was suitable for him?

Sensing murderous intent, Ping Xin quickly added, "We are indeed classmates from the same school, and they are both Nilu's best friends. We took advantage of the school's outing to stop by and visit. Of course, we've already given them a heads-up, so don't worry."

After hearing Ping Xin's explanation, Grandpa Mei Gan slowly put away his expensive pipe and poured Ping Xin a cup of cheap tea. Although Ping Xin had given the two elders, who had become his family, many fine teas from all over the world, he still preferred this cheap tea, because it was authentic!

Little did he know that he had fallen into Ping Xin's rhetoric trap. Although what Ping Xin said was not false at all, we can easily find that he omitted all the parts that were difficult to explain and not in his favor.

All kinds of skills, this is the same rhetoric as QB (it’s not that I didn’t tell you, it’s that you didn’t ask)!

But his despicable tricks were about to be exposed——

"...Ping Xin!"

He opened the wooden door, and Asuna, fresh out of the bath and dressed in stuffed animal pajamas, rushed over. Although he knew something was wrong, he still caught his girlfriend and held her in his arms. Following her were Karin, Akane, Nel, and Delta, who had bathed with him earlier, all wearing different styles of animal pajamas.

As for where to put all this luggage, the gift bag I received earlier, and other souvenirs and sundries... well, on the roof rack! Ordinary cars wouldn't have that, but this is a meticulously modified custom car. Otherwise, with Heishin's personality, it would be hard not to sit on the roof, enjoying the natural scenery while acting like a natural, effortless idiot.

Although this was anticipated and everyone brought thick warm pajamas to keep warm instead of the sexy outfits that occasionally appear at home, such intimate actions and a sense of distance cannot be faked. So what should be done here?

Be honest, or...

"Hira Nobu?" Asuna looked up at him, as if she was confused about why Hira Nobu was not as intimate with her as before.
