The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"Hmm, nice smell...eh, is everything okay?"

We have taken three rounds of exams, and you just thought of this question?

Using the charcoal stove provided by the hotel, which is usually used to grill fish, Pingxin brushed oil, grilled meat, and injected soul into it without missing a single step. The white smoke was blown away by the wind from the balcony.

The night was a little cool, and the wind was quite strong in the upper floors.

So Asakura Toru, Higuchi Enka and Ichikawa Hina were ordered to wrap themselves in blankets. The three heroes just ate without doing anything and calmly accepted the rewards and extra meals. At this moment, the way they whispered to each other looked like that classic funny emoticon.

↑It's probably like this

"Tōru-senpai, Enka-senpai, let's play the game of talking backwards!"

Hinana suggested that she should not fall asleep on an empty stomach, as she was greedy from watching, bored from being idle, and sleepy from waiting.

"Oh, okay."

"Don't play."

Enka felt like the puff juice was about to leak out, so she made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

The stove is not very powerful, and it feels not as good as the classic street lamb skewers stove. Thinking of this, Pingxin feels a little nostalgic.

Although it was roasted slowly, it was easier to control the heat and prevent the meat juice from drying up quickly. So Pingxin maintained a lower efficiency output while they chatted, but everything was delicious.

"This meat, which I've never eaten before, is so delicious, even though it has a strange taste."

"Haha, after all, people in the East rarely eat mutton. Dishes are generally based on pork, beef, and chicken. It seems that the only common restaurant that sells mutton is the Genghis Khan series..."

Most of the questions asked during chats are like this, which are meaningless but can help pass the time.

Sometimes it is precisely because of the emptiness of words that people can realize what is real and precious.

Such as the delicious food in my mouth, the warm bedding, and the people around me.

But between the aimless chats, a few serious words would occasionally be inserted -

"Toru...why do I always feel like you're not very happy at work? Don't you like it?"

"Eh?"

Asakura Toru was stunned, just as suddenly as the words came out, but no one knew why she was stunned.

Daydreaming and suddenly being called?

Don’t know what Pingxin is talking about?

Or was he surprised because he knew what Ping Xin was talking about?

After hearing what Hirashin said, Enka and Hina also turned their heads away. They didn't feel that Asakura Toru was unhappy in any way during this period.

But Pingxin is right. Sometimes it is because we are too familiar with people that we cannot see the people around us clearly. Enka, who was distressed for a long time, is an example.

"Ah... sorry."

I don’t know who or what she was apologizing to. Was it because the oil from the skewers dripped onto the tatami?

Toru Asakura knows what she wants, but others cannot fully understand her and cannot become her, so the conversation always gives people a confusing feeling.

But with Ping Xin's efforts, she more or less began to try to explain it in words that mortals could understand more easily, just like now -

"It always feels like... no matter where I go... everyone keeps saying, 'That's great!'"

"I see... Is it because things are so smooth that they lack a certain sense of reality?"

Although people always fantasize about being the chosen one, it would be best if they could be like Long Aotian who can achieve great success without doing anything and gain recognition and praise from everyone.

But in fact, most people only use such fantasies to relieve stress. If they really encounter such things, they will definitely not be able to withstand it.

Imagine that your parents, who have always been picky, suddenly become obedient and completely affirmative robots. Wouldn’t you feel panic and fear?

Not to mention that the best way to destroy a person's cognitive ability is to affirm all his/her actions. If you meet such a person, you must be careful.

"Hmm... maybe, that's why I said [Not good at all]."

"Hmm, it's such a waste of time... But it's okay this way."

"Hey, okay?"

Toru was surprised, and Hina, who was listening silently, looked over. Only Enka closed her eyes and didn't want to see anything. After all, both of her mouths were full.

"The fact that you can feel this way means that I've protected you very well... just like the barbecue you're eating—"

"Hey, is it meat, us?"

After a moment of hesitation, the meat that Toru Asakura liked was taken away by Enka and Hina, who took the initiative.

And here, no one would feel uncomfortable with such a strange metaphor.

"From the ranching, processing, and transportation, I control everything. When I grill, I marinate, grill, and season the meat. In the end, I present you with perfect food - and all you have to do is eat it."

Asakura Toru blinked and looked eagerly at the next round of grilling on the stove.

Of course she could understand such words. After all, the electric properties that Ping Xin occasionally showed were largely influenced by her friend No. 1.

"Ahaha~ Sounds simple~"

Of course Hinana could understand, but she always gave ambiguous answers.

"..."

Of course Enka could understand, and she even wanted to complain that Hirashin was a little overprotective.

Ever since the accident with the first program on TV, his attitude towards the work of several people has been to do it completely by himself, saying that it is not enough for one person to do three jobs.

"And Toru, just be yourself. There's no need to get hung up on the affairs of someone you don't know at all. Whether it's genuine praise or superficial flattery, we just need to do our own thing and hold our heads high, accepting it as praise."

Maruyama Aya can be considered a senior idol... although not that old, but she is an idol trainee who has been training for two and a half years, so her future is limitless (laughs)

Although she worked hard and occasionally stuttered and forgot the lyrics during her MC performance, Ping Xin didn't mind. He was only slightly dissatisfied with her habit of self-searching...

That is to say, search for information, comments, etc. about yourself on the Internet.

Although he could understand such behavior, and Maruyama Aya could always find some suitable suggestions by digging through shit, he still didn't like it.

After all, the confidence gained from others is false and fragile. Only being strong yourself is the real truth. He understood this truth very early on.

"Toru is Toru, Enka is Enka, Hina is Hina... Each of you has your own charms, with strengths and weaknesses, just like there are people who like you and those who don't—

But I will work hard to let everyone see your shine...your colors! Let the whole world see that there are such great girls here! "

There was no grand applause after he finished speaking, only four pairs of eyes that didn't know where to look.

Fortunately, Pingxin could watch the barbecue and pretend that nothing had happened and that everything was just an illusion in the fireworks.

"call--"

In the dormitory, the sound of Koito's breathing could be heard.

At this moment, the moonlight is just right.

Note: Xiaoyi has always been a healthy and good baby. He sleeps very soundly, so he will not wake up until tomorrow morning.

Chapter 4000: Do you like a vacation called work? ()

Continuing from the last chapter, Hirashin gave a passionate speech during the barbecue. Regardless of whether it enlightened Asakura Toru or not, it silenced himself instead.

Fortunately, the few people present were not really without emotional intelligence, so after a few rounds of silence and barbecue, everyone started chatting again -

"...Anyone can do this level." Enka replied.

Ping Xin originally wanted to praise the three people for their hard work during this period, but as he was talking, he found that 2/3 of them were talented people. Although it cannot be said that they did not work hard, they also slacked off a lot.

But every time he praised Enka in one episode, he only got a rather cold reaction from her... Who made her such a cold girl, and the one who likes to work hard in private but never show it to others?

So Pingxin, who was rejected for his flattery, had no choice but to end the topic and urge them to brush their teeth and go to bed.

"Hey, aren't you coming?"

"...No, no, no, this really isn't going to work, is it? It's very troublesome in every sense of the word. It can't be done."

Asakura Toru was surprised that Hiranobu didn't stay and sleep with them, which made Hiranobu really sweat this time. By the way, you are not usually such a person who lacks common sense, right?

Which level are you on this wave???

Squatting in the corridor, Ping Xin fell into endless internal thinking.

......

...

..

"You're still not asleep at this hour...Are you waiting for me?"

The party at the Heike mansion lasted until the early morning. After helping the shadow maids pack up the band girls and send them back to their rooms, Heishin came out to take a breath and stood on the roof pretending to be a master, but he unexpectedly found that the light in the next room was still on.

"...That's what you wanted to say, right? I'm going back to my room."

"Wait, wait...wouldn't you like some fireworks?"

"...ha?"

Wearing two coats over her yukata, and remembering her previous experience on the climbing frame, not looking down at her feet, Enka and Hirayuko were now squatting on the tiled roof of the Tokoku-style hotel, playing with fairy wands.

*Fairy wand: To put it simply, it is the kind that will produce sparks when lit and then burn out in one go. It is the kind that can be held in your hand and is very common in animations.

"So, why haven't you slept yet? ...First of all, you're not worried about gaining weight, so you want to digest it a little longer before going to bed."

"..."

Ping Xin blocked her retreat route right from the start, and Enka could only respond to each move like the second-hand character in a card game, engaging in a battle of wits and courage.

"I have other things to do tomorrow. Please let me use my time meaningfully."

Well, it seems that she is the type who likes to flip the table.

"...But if you can wake me up tomorrow, I will do it obediently-"

"!"

Bad woman, you play me in your hands.

Pingxin smiled, then pulled Enka over despite her scream, and they both lay on the roof together.

The moonlight is just right. Although it is not full, it is still very beautiful.

There are few clouds tonight, so we can see clearly.

"...Want to watch the fireworks?"

"...Forget about the elegance and elegance, just the thought is enough. Besides, at this time, wouldn't it wake them up?"

Although this place is in Tokyo, it is far away from residential areas, so the only people who can be disturbed are the three people in the room and the hotel staff.

"Hmm...what if it's just for fun?"

"......"

Without saying anything, Enka just let out a long sigh, as if she remembered that the man next to her was essentially no different from an elementary school boy.

"What if... I'm doing this to please you?"

"...as you like."

As if she felt that her words were a bit too ambiguous, Enka added:

"It's just a withered and scattered appearance that's consumed by people, and then disappears without a trace... It's just an existence like that, no different from the dried flowers before."

It seems like you want to act like you don't care, but generally speaking, the more you say, the more you care, right?

"But even if I can only bloom once in my life, it's better than a lifetime of powerlessness and waste... If I had to choose, there would be nothing wrong with being a firework that can bloom in the night sky and in the hearts of others."

"...sounds like something a criminal would say, some kind of 'artistic' lunatic."

After hearing her complaints, Hirashin laughed out loud and suddenly felt that if he were on the Conan set, he would definitely be the most troublesome criminal, but Enka felt a little puzzled.

But if there are one or two things in life that you can't figure out, you might dwell on them for a while. But if a person is full of mysteries, after a while you'll just get too lazy to ask them one by one.
