The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

However, the so-called wisdom can only be demonstrated according to the method of use. If you are faced with a premonition that has no beginning or end, rational thinking may not be better than wandering around and trying your luck.

The pink Stand, Killer Queen, stood quietly beside him, allowing him to use two pairs of eyes to look for possible dangers.

For the first time, Ping Xin felt that the Stand "The World" was so powerful, because at least he could use uninterrupted continuous time stops to buy more time, instead of just watching like this Stand that had no use except for making fireworks and cleaning up garbage.

The most annoying thing is that something is happening somewhere in his body, so the ripple force and hidden magnetic field force that were always effective in the past have lost their effect, so he is now relying entirely on his own strength to search.

His heavy breathing even blew up white mist in the cold rain. The cold rain not only calmed him down but also continuously took away his body temperature. If this continued, he might collapse before he could find the [reason]—

He will die, maybe in some unknown corner, and then be discovered by passers-by the next day.

"But do you want me to give up...you must be joking!"

At this time of violent mental fluctuations, the gears of fate were turning, and his stand was also changing. Now this was his only remaining superpower, the only power that could summon miracles!

"...A Stand is a power that appears based on the mind and wishes of the one who possesses it. If you are truly 'my Stand', then show it to me... My wishes, the power that I should possess—"

Otherwise, die here with me, you fake thing!"

The pink cat-headed stand-in standing quietly beside him didn't respond. After all, "she (Killer Queen)" couldn't speak. However, the heart-shaped pattern on her left hand began to loosen.

On this quiet yet noisy rainy day, beneath this calm appearance, something is changing——

......

...

..

"...Hey, Enka-chan, aren't you going over there?" In an ordinary kindergarten in Tokyo, a cute little girl with two small canine teeth said to another little girl.

Following their line of sight, one could see that, away from the crowd, an ordinary-looking boy with black hair and dark eyes was sitting side by side with another "boy" with brown hair and blue eyes.

The black-haired boy had just transferred in but had no intention of forming close relationships with anyone. Today, he had simply come over to talk to a "poor guy" who was left alone. Even though he himself stumbled over his words, the two unique individuals still struck a chord and became friends.

"...Koito, aren't you coming over?"

She didn't answer Fukumaru Koito's question, but answered it with a question. If she did that on a special effects set, she would definitely be scolded, right? But because she was a child, no one thought there was anything wrong.

Just looking at Toru Asakura sitting and chatting with the new kid with a strange name in the distance, Higuchi Enka felt for the first time something that should perhaps be called "jealousy" in her heart.

So she walked straight over, and Fukumaru Koito, who was at a loss after being asked back and thought she had said something wrong, also followed her. The two girls walked towards the two "boys" opposite together.

*It may not be suitable for young girls, but I think it is definitely not suitable for women.

"Toru, what are you doing here...and who is this strange person?"

In fact, of course she knew, because Higuchi Enka was a good child with common sense. Although the writing and pronunciation of her name were very strange, this might be a plus for a kindergarten child, especially in terms of being easily given a nickname.

Fukumaru Koito, who should have been correcting her rude remarks, hid behind her out of shyness, only half of his head showing as he stared at the strange boy before him. His appearance aside, the aura around him only reminded her of terrifying, unfamiliar adults, dangerous people who shouldn't be spoken to.

In response to Enka's question, the person called Tooru used the boyish "servant" as the first person, so the short-haired girl who was mistaken for a boy just widened her eyes a little in surprise... Really just a little bit, to the extent that if you weren't an acquaintance, you wouldn't be able to tell at all.

She glanced at the boy next to her, then smiled and said to the two of them, "This guy knows a lot of words. Even though I can't understand what he's saying, he's very impressive."

"Then—!" Fukumaru Koito suddenly thought of something and shrank back in fear as she was stared at by the three of them. But after a moment of silence, she finally mustered up the courage (through Enka who was sandwiched between them) and continued to speak to the black-haired boy: "Well, in that case... do you recognize the words in picture books and storybooks?"

"...Well, I can pronounce common characters and some buzzwords, but I'm not so good at pronouncing rare characters and ancient words." The fingers holding the book in his hand subconsciously exerted force, and his palms were slightly sweating. However, in front of his first friend in this world, he still tried hard to answer her questions.

Even though they didn't know each other at that time, their fate began from then on——

"Well... then read the book in your hand."

"This is just an ordinary history book...it's not very interesting."

Although he was lucky enough to come to a world with a common language as a time traveler, the historical differences between the two sides were subtle and easily exposed his differences, so he was working hard to learn the culture and history of this world.

"Well...I have a picture book in my bag that I brought from home. Is that okay?!"

Looking at the cute twin-tailed girl in front of him, who was afraid at first, but now smiled with admiration and joy because of her, the black-haired boy finally nodded silently.

After this, he finally realized that Asakura Toru was not isolated, but just had a hard time getting along with ordinary people. He accepted this fact and the two girls who came with him, the cute sister Fukumaru Koito and a gossipy woman who always gave him a bad face.

During those two years, they spent a very long time together... so long that it made people wonder if this would one day become forever...

But unfortunately, accidents always come before happiness. After following the boy to the river and nearly drowning, Higuchi Enka understood him, lost him, and became him——

......

...

..

"...Show me here!"

Following the strange sound in her ears, Enka opened her eyes slightly. The sudden rain also suddenly stopped, but she still couldn't see the sun in the river.

Simply because her world (horizon) was covered, attracted, and obsessed by a figure jumping into the water——

In this icy river, Higuchi Enka felt the presence of warmth, through body to body, heart to heart, mouth to mouth...

Mouth to mouth! ?

Chapter 81: Strange Ceiling

"Ah, the strange ceiling—"

"...Please don't dub other people's mental activities, Mr. Narrator."

After falling into a coma due to some overly stimulating experiences, Higuchi Enka woke up in bed. The bed, clothes and ceiling were unfamiliar. The only thing that seemed familiar to her was the not-so-strange man next to her.

I was so close to being able to have peace and quiet for a long time, or even to be able to obtain eternal tranquility, but even then he found me. I really lost...

Completely.

When these beautiful purple eyes opened and moved slightly left and right to observe, the man who had been sitting at the head of the bed staring at her finally shifted his gaze and began to peel an apple, a cute little rabbit apple.

"...Want to eat?"

The apple and the fruit knife danced in the air and cut into perfect shapes, but Higuchi Enka didn't pay any attention to the slight abnormality over there. Instead, she stared straight at the man in front of her and opened her mouth.

"I thought you might say something like, 'Rabbits are so cute, why are you teasing them?'"

"..."

It was the same bad joke as always. Apart from his funny movements, funny tone and the desire to make her laugh, there was nothing that could make Enka laugh.

Even such a situation couldn't make him serious?

No, it’s probably because he won’t let me see him when he’s serious… along with all the sad, painful, embarrassing, and regretful emotions, they are hidden in a corner of my heart.

"...So sweet."

The apple is a top-grade Red Fuji, although it is not certain whether it is produced in Fuji... The knife is sharp, but what is even more beautiful is the man's technique. There is no unnecessary squeezing of the apple, and all the juice is where it should be, and all becomes nutrients for her to consume.

The only drawback was that the apple was too big, and the girl could only eat about half of it in one bite to keep her image in mind. However, the "smart" man also thought of a corresponding solution, which was to stuff the remaining half into his own mouth.

"I'm pretty smart after all, huh?"

"...abnormal!"

However, this time, the diss segment was filled with a girlish shyness and ambiguity, all because of the underwater kiss to get some air, and the man's crazy innuendos just now, including but not limited to the indirect kiss (Apple), the weird smile, and the occasional lip licking as if he couldn't get enough.

Not knowing what to do, she turned her head away, trying to hide the blush on her face. However, she was too careless and the blush on her fair neck betrayed her.

Although she tried to conceal her shyness and confusion, she also wanted to look at the man... not really, but simply wanted him to stay in her sight. Perhaps it was the lingering fear of having been on the verge of death, or perhaps it was some other emotion.

"!"

Feeling the change in the pressure on the mattress and knowing who was sitting on the bed behind her, Enka's heart began to beat faster than ever before, as if trying to regain the heat she had lost in the river, causing beads of sweat to appear on her body.

"...Will you be able to rest in peace now? You called my name just now while you were sleeping—"

Although the person who called out wasn't Asuka Ma, but a cunning man, a person with psychic powers, and... Hirayuma.

However, thanks to this, he finally knew the true identity of the girl in front of him. At the same time, it also made him sigh once again that this world is too small and fate is too deep. He never thought that the two people who had the most inconsistency in the past would actually end up together...

Toru-kun, even though I am awesome with your harem (reserve force), I will not apologize!!!

"Because Higuchi Enka is just so cute! So cute!"

"!...Idiot!...Who allowed you to call my name! Obviously--" Enka, who was "scared" by him and curled up in the quilt like a little ostrich, answered as loudly as possible without letting anyone else hear.

I haven't even told you in person yet...

"Then could you please write your own name yourself, my lovely lady?... To be honest, the doctor was really shocked when I rushed in holding you just now. Fortunately, I have that little bit of connection, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stay here and wait for you to wake up." Ping Xin made a gesture of the universe between his fingers. This action was not the first time in front of her, but she always got surprised.

Looking at the sun that was about to set outside the window, Higuchi Enka guessed that this must be a very long time, whether it was for him or her, it was the same——

"...Give me the pen, I'll write...But if you dare to forget, I will never forgive you!"

"Good... You're still the same as before, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a very fiery temper."

Before? ...Which was strange, but if it was when they met before, after a few months, they could probably be considered together, so she didn't care.

"...I'm so sorry about drowning. It's all my fault—"

your fault?

"Although I did go out for a date with you, I fell because I was trying to avoid a high-speed car honking from behind. Generally speaking, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

"No, it's still related—"

Whether it was before or this time, it's all my fault...

"But it's so nice that I can hold your hand."

Because he was also a child, he knew that even if he rushed to save the child, they would drown together, so he ran away and ran to the nearby residential area to call for help.

Although this method did save her name in the end, it also made this incident a nightmare for both of them and the reason why they gradually drifted apart in the future.

"I have to apologize to Xiaoshi afterwards..."

Although he said he ran away because he was afraid of others and unknown forces, in reality, he was really afraid of the accusatory eyes of those around him, the fact that his reckless actions almost killed a close friend, and the ghost that might haunt him for the rest of his life, the nightmare in his heart.

So he fled, and has been fleeing until today—

"...Hour?"

"Ah, it's my sister... I'll take you to meet her later, maybe you'll recognize her~"

"...There's no such coincidence in this world."

No no no, it really is there, Enka~

"Okay... Anyway, don't be jealous for now, okay? I'm going to find a doctor—"

"Don't leave!..."

As soon as Pingxin stood up, Enka hugged him from behind. Now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

"Okay, I won't leave... This time, I won't run away, never!"

Without turning around, he held Higuchi Enka's hand——

This time he will not leave or run away, he will definitely hold your hand until the end.

Chapter 82: Try to become an idol producer!

"So there are some...private goods?"

"If love counts, then there is—"

“… corny.”

In the ward, Hirashin and Higuchi Enka were chatting aimlessly. The topics ranged from hobbies, favorite foods, recent news to the comics they created together, etc. In short, they were all kinds of weird and said whatever they thought of.

But in this seemingly candid moment of communication, one person deliberately avoided some topics... some topics about Ping Xin's family situation, some... topics about his love life.

"Speaking of Enka...what do you want to do in the future?"

"Enka...are we on a first-name basis?"

"Hey, isn't it?"

Surprised, Ping Xin instinctively wanted to turn back, but she stopped him. After all, someone wasn't ready. The tickling attack on his side, like a feather caress, made him pause.

We've been holding hands since a while ago, but we can't see each other...the wedding day?

Wouldn't it be beautiful if I could give her a phoenix crown? Which should I choose: a traditional Yan Kingdom wedding with candlelight in the bridal chamber, a Western-style wedding with vows in a church, or a traditional Dong Kingdom wedding?
