The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

But Ping Xin's eyes wandered, and he unilaterally cut off the communication.

"Thank you... Someone will deliver the basket later as usual... I'll be leaving now - (Runs away)"

Ping Xin grabbed his things and shoved his way out the door, leaving no one to try and stop him. Someone who didn't know him might have thought he was just trying to buy something for free. Putting aside other factors and focusing solely on his escape, Ping Xin truly had the aura of a certain old Ripple Warrior and Stand User...

"Hey...what's wrong with this guy? Is it possible that the bread I made is not to his liking?!"

It seems that someone's image as a foodie has been deeply rooted in people's minds, and things that even a big glutton can't finish should be out of print!

"Hehe~, then father has to work harder. I'm going to go upstairs to do my homework first. I'll leave the store to you..." Yamabuki Saya passed by her father and walked towards the back door.

"Saiya—"

"...What's wrong?"

In the end, Yamabuki Tsuneshi couldn't help himself and called out to his well-behaved and sensible daughter.

"Actually, I just... accidentally overheard a little bit. Sorry, I didn't expect that you suddenly didn't go to practice with your friends some time ago because of family matters... Sorry-"

Yamabuki Saya knew her father, Yamabuki Watashi, as a steady and honest man, the ever-reliable pillar of the family. True to the traditional father image, he was a reserved man, not good at expressing his emotions. He had once been a career elite with a promising future, but he chose to leave his job for his mother and for love, ultimately opening a family bakery in the shopping district.

Yamabuki Saya really likes this place, the shopping street, and the Yamabuki Bakery.

She likes her father, mother, brother and sister, and she will always like this family——

"Really... Dad, what are you talking about? We're a family, we need to work together and help each other through this. If you keep saying that, I'm going to get angry, okay?"

Yamabuki Saya pretended to be angry and used her little fists of love on her father. After a while of acting coquettishly, the atmosphere really became better.

Behind the door, Yamabuki Wataru's wife and also Yamabuki Saya's mother, Chihiro Yamabuki, a young woman who suffered from anemia and looked a little pale, smiled as she watched this scene.

Outside the door, Ping Xin also took back the substitute "world" that he used to eavesdrop on the conversation between the father and daughter.

I have to say that in this situation, a 10-meter range (control distance) is very useful. You are really amazing. Ping Xin turned around and left with a large basket of bread, walking on the way home.

"...As expected, this feels great—"

As he walked, the aroma of bread wafted with him.

"I'm back--"

Pingxin opens the door with the "world".

"Welcome back, brother."

And behind the door, the lovely sister Xiaoshi is waiting.

Well, I'm back—

Chapter 51 The Price of Ripples?

"...Okay, everyone's in great shape, but that's enough - before a real performance, what's needed is not quantity but quality. If you practice too much, you might end up making mistakes or even getting injured during the real performance due to overexertion.

Especially you, Lan... Stop staring at me like that. You don't want to be unable to utter a word on the day you go on stage because of overtraining, do you? "

"Everyone~ Let's take a break."

As the nominal captain, Uehara Himari was the first to respond to the call. However, in Hirashin's opinion, the reason why she felt tired first was probably because the weight of her "front armor" crushed the others, so the burden was the greatest... I always feel like I'm thinking about these things recently. Is this also the influence of DIO?

"Where's Lan?"

Aoba Moka spoke as slowly as ever.

"...I can go on!"

Well, our rebellious red-haired lady is still as strong-willed as ever, but Ping Xin came prepared today.

"Everyone, why don't you relax for a while and then go study? Your exams for Haneda Girls' Academy are almost here, right? And I have a lot of freshly baked bread from Yamabuki Bakery here. If you don't come, I'll eat it all by myself."

"Bread?! Little Mocha is here!"

As expected, Aoba Mocha couldn't resist the temptation of bread at all, and as long as Mocha gave in—

"...Then rest."

"Great--!"

Plan pass.jpg

As expected, as long as Aoba Mocha is dealt with, it is equivalent to dealing with Mizukuri. As long as Mizukuri, the core figure, expresses her opinion, most of the others will follow suit, and the entire Afterglow will be settled.

As expected, it’s my talent that’s terrifying… hehehehe——

it hurts!

"...What are you laughing at there by yourself? Hurry up and go away. I want to ask you about that 'Yan Country Kung Fu' later..." After the usual "hello" to her calf, Mizukuri said calmly in the face of Ping Xin's gaze.

Well... now that I think about it, there has indeed been no systematic research on the compatibility of ripples between different people in this world. At least Ping Xin believes that if only himself or his sister's childhood is used as the only example, it lacks the necessary scientific rigor.

"I understand. Then remember to protect your throat, don't eat too many snacks, and..."

"Okay, okay, I get it. I'm not a child anymore, really—"

Seeing Mizukuri's perfunctory look, Pingxin has fully understood the helplessness of a middle-aged father facing his rebellious daughter.

"...Okay, okay, even if you are an adult, you will always be my younger sister in my eyes. That's it, I'll go upstairs first, today's task is not completed yet..." He first touched Mizukani's head as usual and then rubbed her hard, and Pingxin ran away.

My sister...it feels like having a brother, maybe it's unexpectedly good——

......

In the living room, Aoba Moka, Uehara Himari, Udagawa Tomoe, and Hanezawa Tsugumi were whispering around each strand of long hair they had never seen before...

"I say... this is indeed—"

"Well, it must be 'that'—"

"Little Mocha thinks so too~——"

"Well, we really have to trust Ping Xin-ge—"

"...What are you doing there? Didn't you say you wanted to eat bread?"

Mizukami came to the living room from the practice room a little later, and found her four childhood friends gathered around the sofa, discussing something.

"What are they talking about, this and that?" Mizukuri, who was completely confused, asked Asuka Matobuki who was standing beside her.

"Nothing, it's just that my brother invited a few female classmates to play at home this afternoon. Well, they played very intensely——"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

"Female classmate?!"

“Several?!”

"Oh~ho~, is the game intense?"

"I think we really should ask the man himself, or at least listen to his arguments before we make any decisions..."

Even Tsugumi Hanezawa, the most genuine representative of ordinary people, seems to lack confidence. Pingxin's credibility has been questioned unprecedentedly. The government's crisis is a crisis of trust!

"...No one is allowed to go. Wait until he comes to explain himself!" Mizukuri gritted her teeth and said this, as if she was tearing Ping Xin apart. But maybe he looked unexpectedly like a cute dog? As expected, a guy like him... a brother like this still needs someone to supervise him!

Sitting on the sofa and watching the whole process, the newly-crowned master of fanning the flames, Asuka Mato, was watching all this quietly. It was just as her brother said, no matter what, you still have to "try" before you can know. For example, now she finally understood why Ping Xin sometimes did not save time and crush the bad guys directly, but took great pains to let the bad guys fight each other first and then easily deal with them.

You taught me that?

......

"Ciao~ Is there anything you don't understand while studying?"

It was obvious that Pingxin was still in a high-energy mode. First, several friends came to play at his house, and then he gave his sister some educational guidance. Now he was so excited that he felt he could do anything.

Well, to put it simply, it suddenly expanded a little.

"...scumbag!" The red-haired lady spoke her mind.

When they first met, he actually called Ping Xin a scumbag?

Pingdao, continue serialization!

"...I think there's a misunderstanding between us, Miss Mitakeran."

Eh~~~ "Miss Mizukuran"? Even when they first met, Hirayuki hadn't been this polite. This pretense actually made Mizukuran feel disgusted.

"Did you invite several beautiful female students with different characteristics to your home today?"

"Four classmates, to be exact."

Pingxin puffed out his chest proudly.

Look, this is the result of my hard work, my new friends F4——

If he were given a chance, he might make a banner like this.

"Scumbag, pervert, sex maniac!"

Seeing that Ping Xin was not ashamed but proud of it, Mi Zhulan was so angry that her blood pressure rose on the spot.

Hey, why are they cursing even harder? Shouldn't people here be cheering and applauding me?!

At this time, the four jury members on the side also expressed their opinions -

"really?"

"of course!"

"As expected-"

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

"Guilty!" x4

Aieeeeeee, guilty, why? !

At this moment, Ping Xin was as confused as if he had suddenly rear-ended a black luxury car and found that the people sitting inside were actually an army of aliens who had come to invade the earth.

"Why don't you tell the truth?"

In this way, under the "oppression" of the five people and the "help" of his younger sister Xiao, Ping Xin explained everything that happened this afternoon clearly -

"...So it's really just a simple invitation for friends to come over?"

"Hmm...what else?"

Suddenly, there were four more friends who could come to his house, and Ping Xin's tone became arrogant.

The five of you in the band, dare you to give our five friends a try?!

...Ahem, but peace is the best, right?

Pingxin thought it would be better not to take action. No matter whether he won or lost, he would be the one who suffered the most.

"But~, little Mocha, I think~——"

"Eat some bread!"

Ping Xin directly interrupted the spell and ruthlessly stuffed the giant thing into the girl's mouth. Is this a moral decline or a distortion of human nature? Welcome to watch, Anpanman... Ahem, anyway, it's better to be serious now -

"Okay, okay, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's all study together. After all, the monthly exam is coming up soon."

Fortunately, you can always trust Tsugumi Hanezawa. She is indeed a great ordinary person. She is so gentle!

So after the study session and meal, Pingxin saw off the remaining four members of Afterglow.

"Okay, let me teach you how to create ripples."

Looking at the person in front of her who inexplicably got high as soon as it got dark, Mizukami couldn't help but think -

Is the price of practicing ripples the loss of my brain? I wonder if it's too late to return it now...
