The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"Okay, everyone has one... Koito, how about this lava bread? It's got lots of chocolate in it?"

“Is it possible?!”

"No... That's impossible~!"

Ping Xin rubbed her cheeks. Maybe it would be more fun if it were autumn. Pikachu?

"Would you like to try this cookie? Alternating between sweet and salty, it's hard to stop eating~?"

"Hey—I want to eat!"

The other three people's attention was attracted by the food. Pingxin took the time to look at Enka and winked, indicating her to come and eat quickly.

"Just eat it, I'll eat—"

"Questions and answers are useless!"

Ping Xin directly stuffed the bread into her mouth, this is the solution to the problem!

Chapter 4000: Wandering around School ()

"Ahaha... What a shame! I thought I could catch up today."

When the bell for the first class in the afternoon rang, it meant that Hina Ichikawa, who was still taking a walk outside, would be scolded when she returned home.

“…Ahaha~”

But it doesn’t matter, because—

"Um.......?"

Inside the gymnasium, Ichikawa Hina sneaked in from the door and looked around. But she soon found her target.

"Tōru-senpai~~~......?"

A cute little mouse slipped in, dancing happily along the walls and sidelines of the gymnasium.

"Eh?"

"Shh! It'll be exposed, okay?..."

When Hina, who had obviously skipped class to come to him, came to see him, Toru Asakura didn't get angry or try to persuade her or tell her what to do. Toru just smiled and asked her what happened.

"I always felt like I could make it to the first class, but in the end, I didn't. So, while I was secretly exploring the school, I found Toru-senpai~~~?"

"so."

"I see... I didn't expect Hinana to be so free at school."

Ping Xin, standing nearby, licked the ice cream cone in his hand. He had just flown to McDonald's and bought one. He ate one on the way, held one in his hand, and there was a whole bunch of ice cream floating in the air that no one could see.

The power of magnetic field plays a great role!

"Hmm~!...Hey, is Hirashin-senpai here too?"

Ichikawa Hina nodded happily, then looked in surprise at Hiranobu who had been standing next to Toru since some point. Why hadn't she seen him before?

"Hey, Hina... want one?"

"Ahaha~? Eating ice cream cones in the gym, how fresh~!"

Ichikawa Hina took the cone and sat down against the wall in a row with the two of them.

"Tōru-senpai, aren't you going to eat~?"

"Hmm...never mind. Today's timing isn't very good."

Ping Xin could of course smell the faint scent of blood, so he just sat next to her and chatted with her... and then secretly used the power of ripples to help her temporarily solve the problem.

However, considering that several people might come to see him every time when relatives come to visit, and that there may be unknown side effects, Pingxin only relieved the adverse physical feelings and did not do anything clever.

"Is that so... Then let's eat together next time~"

Others might read the air and give this face...but Ichikawa Hina definitely won't, after all, she is enjoying the licking now.

"Come to think of it, although I've heard that Hinana is a habitual latecomer to morning reading, I originally thought it was just for self-study or something, but I didn't expect her to skip the entire first class."

Although his tongue was as flexible as a snake, it did not affect Pingxin's speech at all.

"Morning self-study...what is that?"

Pingxin suddenly felt a little confused. In his previous life, he often got up at four or five o'clock to study and then rushed to school to attend the morning self-study class at around 6 o'clock. It turns out that there is no such thing here at all?

No wonder the uncle stared at him with surprise when he told Wuqili not to do morning self-study. It turns out it was all my wishful thinking...

"Ahaha~ Hirashin-senpai, do you want me to go?"

"Hey, why?"

Ping Xin licked the ice cream cone until it was smooth, then ate the base bite by bite, and then took out another one from the void as if no one was around.

"Everyone's here together, enjoying snacks and chatting... and watching Enka exercising alone and then pointing fingers at her, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Ahaha~ Maybe that's the case~!"

Ichikawa Hina, Enka's mother's black-hearted little cotton-padded jacket, the kind with the thorns pointing inward.

“Ahaha… Yeah.”

Pingxin lifted Tou's entire body onto his own and whispered to her, "If you're not feeling well, just sleep on me for a while. This tried-and-tested, high-quality mattress is soft, warm, and even has a sleeping function! ... If that doesn't work out, I'll take you home early."

"Well... then, just get some sleep."

Toru said with a smile before closing her eyes and leaning closer.

Ping Xin used the ripple power slightly, and Asakura Toru immediately fell into a dreamless and high-quality sleep. He leaned his whole body on him, without any defenses, only a full sense of security.

He hooked his finger again, and Hinana immediately understood. She moved quickly and lightly to the other side of Pingxin like a little mouse stealing oil, and then leaned on him.

"You want to sleep too?"

"Eh~ Isn't that what Ping Xin meant~?"

No, I mean you come over here so we don't wake her when we talk.

"Hmm...never mind! I always feel like it's quite fun to whisper to someone like this. It feels like I haven't done that in a while."

"Ah~? Hina too!"

After that, until the bell rang, the three of them stayed together like this—

"Ichikawa!"

As expected, Hinana walked into the classroom as the bell rang in the second period and was scolded by the head teacher who had been lying in ambush.

......

...

..

"Ah~ Koito, are you going back now~?"

Hina, who was about to go home with her schoolbag in her hand, suddenly spoke from behind. Fukumaru Koito was startled and let out a strange cry. When she found out it was Hina Ichikawa, she smiled.

"Ah...en, yeah! If you can, let's go together—"

Even though we're at school, you're still so timid, Koito.

"Bang Bang Ka Bang~... Ahem, Fukumaru Koito has joined the team~"

“Shh~!… Nobu-Nobu-chan!?”

If there was one person who would always be scared, Hirashin would definitely choose Koito.

"Hey, let's go back together!...It's been a long time~"

Fukumaru Koito has been looking forward to going home with everyone for three years, so how long has she been thinking about going home with Nobuyuki Hira?

I don't know, but it's been too long...

It took so long that she couldn't wait any longer and immediately replied, "Well, let's go home together!"

Just as they turned the next corner, a middle-aged female teacher who was a little overweight but still had sharp eyes came over. Her powerful aura forced the three of them to stop.

Is this an acquaintance?

Ping Xin, who was still in "invisible" mode and could not be selected, stood against the wall between the two groups of people, waiting for the situation to develop.

"Oh, it's Fukumaru. Is your exam preparation going well?"

"Ah...Teacher..."

It was obvious that Koito wasn't very familiar with this teacher, and might even be a little afraid of her.

However, Koito's sheep-like appearance actually pleases the teacher even more. After all, students who don't make trouble, listen attentively in class and get high scores in exams are basically popular everywhere.

If people like Koito are the most pleasing, then people like Hina are the most annoying——

He's a chronic tardiness student, and no matter how many times he's lectured, he turns a deaf ear. Even calling his parents can't stop this happy family. Yet, his grades are consistently above average, leaving little room for criticism. He's clearly talented, but he spends his days enjoying himself instead of pursuing his studies.

It highlights a person who cannot be criticized or scolded, but has a strong presence.

The female teacher looked at Hinana and said, "Ah, Ichikawa is here too. Please don't disturb Fukumaru-san while she's studying, okay?"

"Eh..." Koito whispered in surprise.

"Ahaha~ But I've never had that before~?"

But Hina's tone, which makes it hard to tell whether she's pretending to be stupid or if it's the real truth, always gives me a headache.

"That's good! Anyway, study hard and prepare for the exam—"

After saying that, the teacher also left in a hurry. I don’t know if he was simply in a hurry to pack up and go home after get off work, or if he was going to continue to deal with some work.

Hinana didn't pay any attention to it, but asked in genuine confusion, "...Finally he left. Who was that just now?"

"......"

Fukumaru Koito did not answer, but walked forward without saying a word, but the excitement and joy on her face were gone.

"...Are you angry?"

Pingxin touched her head.

"Um......"

Koito's answer was somewhat muffled, because although she was angry, the education she had received made it difficult for her to feel aggressive towards others.

She's probably the type who gets angrier and angrier when she thinks about it in the middle of the night, and then secretly wipes away her tears. It's really worrying...

"Because!...She actually said that."

After finally speaking loudly, she started to get angry again after just two words. Although a slightly puffed-up Koito is cute, this is not good~

"Hina, Koito, are you angry about people talking about you like that...won't you say anything?"

"Hmm...but I don't feel anything about it, Hina~ Because there's nothing I can do about it, right~?"

Hiranobu can understand what Hina said, "There's nothing I can do about it," because in Hina's cognition, "Hina only knows about her own affairs," so it's not surprising that others don't understand.

"And even if you sulk like that, it won't do anything~"

Since getting angry is useless, just don't get angry. There is no doubt that Ichikawa Hina is the strongest among the four in terms of mental resilience.

By the way, if we talk about the specific ranking, it would be probably Toru second, Enka third, and Koito fourth.

"...Hina, the person involved, said so. Are you still angry~?"

Hiranobu bent down to look at Koito at eye level, but for the first time, Fukumaru Koito avoided his eyes and nodded.

The next second, Ping Xin suddenly shouted, "Okay... then let's take revenge!"

"Oh~!"

Hina agreed happily, even though she had no idea what Hiranobu was talking about.

“...Eh? It’s not that serious, is it?” Fukumaru Koito was so frightened that she forgot she was still angry and asked with some surprise and happiness.

"The reason I agree with Hinana's [Sulking is useless] is the same as the TV station's [Don't cry when you encounter difficulties], because such behavior is of no help in solving the problem you are facing at the moment.

If she sulks in front of me and slaps me in the face for saying something wrong, or if she performs a full-on emotional, unskilled crying scene over the director's corpse afterwards, I'd welcome it perfectly~"

Pingxin tapped Hina's lips to signal her not to interrupt, and then waited for Koito's reaction.

"You don't have to go to this extent!"
