The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

Wait, Xiao Xiao, I've never made such an arrangement before. Did you betray me?! Ping Xin, whose name was called, felt his scalp tingling under the gazes of more than ten beautiful girls. Fortunately, everyone was familiar with each other, so he still stood up with a sense of momentum.

"...Well then—first of all, I'd like to congratulate the protagonists of tonight, the five members of Afterglow. Congratulations on completing your first independent live and successfully entering a new stage in your band career. I hope you will continue to work hard to improve your skills and continue to reach new heights—"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he kept talking. He didn't expect that the nonsense he often heard in his previous life would come in handy here.

"And everyone present here, you are all beautiful girls with extraordinary talents in various aspects... well, except for me and Mr. Mitakeume."

laugh--

"...You may encounter countless difficulties in your future life, but I hope that when you do, you will not forget that you have such a group of good friends who can help each other and work together. You are never alone in your struggle!

Of course, I also welcome you to come to me if you have any difficulties. I will do my best to help you if the situation allows——"

You will definitely do your best to help no matter how difficult the situation is, right?

"May your future be bright, and may the world treat you kindly—in any case, let's eat!"

“Oh——!”

Sure enough, the simple and direct one is most suitable for me——

Chapter 4000 Mei Gan’s Yesterday ()

Late at night, Mei Gan's house——

“...Cough cough...Huchu——!” Meganelle woke up from her sleep in a daze after hearing the strange noise.

"Huh—damn it. I caught a cold...Is this the first time I've caught a cold since elementary school?"

It was also the first time she was recuperating at home alone.

"Ha! Ah... my throat hurts... drink some water."

Nilu got up from the bed, wrapped herself in a quilt and walked downstairs.

"This is troublesome... I think I have to go to school tomorrow... Really, why not just give it a long holiday? It has to be two days, and then it's the five-day Golden Week—"

*Just be content!

Nilu took a glass of cold water from the tap and drank it. The cold liquid lowered her body temperature slightly, and even her mind became much clearer.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"Ah... It's so uncomfortable... It's already this late, who could it be?"

In the moonlight outside the window, Nero looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost midnight. At least it wasn't some NOK who came here to collect advertising fees...

Who else would come to her house? At this time——

"...Who is it?" Nilu's voice was not loud, but it made her feel a burning pain in her throat, which instantly made her mood worse.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"Get out of here! If you're looking for trouble, come back tomorrow!" Driven by anger, Nilu actually felt that her body had gotten much better, and she shouted outside with full energy.

"Knock knock knock--" But the Riddler outside the door obviously did not intend to let go of the girl who was running a high fever, and continued to knock on the door relentlessly.

"...You are such a persevering fellow. Let me, Lady Nilu, teach you a lesson—" After throwing the quilt on the floor, jumping a few times on the spot and stretching her muscles as a warm-up, Nilu opened the door.

"...What? It's you?"

"Yo~, I've been standing here waiting for a long time."

"...What are you doing here so late at night? Come in—"

After opening the door, the cold wind from outside began to rush in, blowing Nilu's anti-gravity long hair left and right. When she opened the door completely and looked out——

The person standing outside the door was naturally none other than the only acquaintance who had ever been to her house, Asuka Maheishin.

"I'm here to give you something... This is the one you left at my house last time, right? The golden dragon stickers on it tell you that these are the two guns I gave you. Somehow Xiaoshi picked them up." Ping Xin took out two black special model guns from his shoulder bag and handed them to Nilu.

"Just for this... Then go back quickly after you deliver the goods... ahem—" Nilu took the two model guns and opened the magazines to see. Wow, they were still full of ammunition?

When he said "there's not a single shot left" last time, was it really just because he felt bad about having ejaculated too much?

But—didn't Asuka's sister tell him what happened that day? This ending is fine, but... Alas, I didn't expect that after driving those three people away, he would actually see me like this.

I should say it's a good thing I fell asleep without even changing clothes during the day, so isn't it a good thing that I'm wearing pajamas? But at this point, there's nothing more embarrassing for him to see, right?

"I have one more thing - Qiangqiang! I'm here to bring you food. It's such a pity that you didn't come to the celebration banquet tonight. It's hard not to be suspicious if you don't eat the unlimited free food from all over the world." Pingxin took out the insulated food box in his hand which was covered with three layers inside and three layers outside.

“Luckily I’m here—as expected, you’re sick?

This is the special tranquilizer ammunition I had someone buy. It's the same one you used before. You live alone, so you have to protect your own safety." Ping Xin took the backpack off his back and put it on the ground.

"Ah...thank you - it's so heavy?! How much did you put in...could the whole bag be full?" Nilu wanted to pick up the backpack on the ground, but her legs went weak because of her illness and she almost fell to the ground.

Luckily, Ping Xin intervened in time and held her in his arms, preventing any accidents. Perhaps because of the high fever and their usual close relationship, Meganelle didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Turns out she's got some, right? Shouldn't that be considered normal for an elementary school student? But considering her age, this is the biggest anomaly...

"You live alone, so you must not have eaten well. It's a good opportunity for you to eat more and replenish your energy. I also brought some fruits. Where is your refrigerator?" Ping Xin put the food box in one hand on the kitchen table, then raised the bag in the other hand, but after turning around several times, he couldn't find the refrigerator he was looking for.

"Here, here. My home is not as good as yours, young master—" Nilu pointed to an inconspicuous white object in a nearly square shape at Pingxin's feet.

...This thing is not even as big as the small refrigerator in the hotel that provides iced drinks and ice cubes. It is less than half the height of his calf. No wonder Ping Xin couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

"Okay, come and eat--" Pingxin took out the dishes covered with a thin layer of dust from the cupboard and rinsed them briefly. After setting them aside, he said to Nilu.

But Nilu, who was sitting on the chair on the other side and covered with a quilt, did not respond, breathing evenly and not moving.

"What the hell... He's just a kid, he can actually fall asleep while sitting on a chair—"

It seems that the fever is really serious. I guess I need to send Shi a text message later...

He picked up Nilu and placed her on his lap. He also moved the quilt over her head to cover her shoulders, exposing her mouth and nose. He scooped a spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, blew on it, and then said -

"Okay, eat something before going to sleep. You will feel better faster after you eat. This is the preserved egg and lean meat porridge made by the master chef from Yan Country. It is different from the Xibei stuff sold outside. After eating this, drink some old duck soup to warm your body. You have to pay attention to water supply after sweating so much..." The nagging words were like an intangible and unbreakable bond. Ni Lu frowned in her half-asleep state and patted him weakly.

"It's so annoying - Dad."

Dad...it seems like everyone's life is not easy, but you are worse off than me, so now it's my turn to take care of you——

"Okay, it's Daddy~? Little Nilu, why don't you open your mouth quickly?"

Because someone's tone was so disgusting, Nel's brows furrowed even further. After slapping Ping Xin even harder than before, he finally opened his mouth obediently.

As expected, Kazumi Takeran and I are of the same type——

They both have extraordinary talents, the same family difficulties, and the same strong will.

It's just that one is blessed with a unique voice and the other has superhuman reflexes.

Mizukari's mother died young, and Nilu has a father...

However, both of them like to express their emotions with these small actions that seem to be angry and "attacking" Ping Xin. Perhaps this is the cautious and tentative performance of clumsy children who are not good at interacting with others.

If Ping Xin was really angry just once, they would always keep their distance and never take the initiative to get close to him. Fortunately, Ping Xin believed that he had a good temper - after all, even when he was targeted in his previous life, he just used a series of tricks to make those bullies embarrassed and socially ruined, and finally dropped out of school obediently.

"Hmm...delicious—"

"...If it's delicious, eat more. You can eat it every day if you want, okay?"

"Um......"

Ping Xin carefully fed her mouthful after mouthful of food, blowing it down before letting Nilu open her mouth to take it in. After eating the easily digestible porridge and drinking two bowls of warm duck soup, Nilu's complexion was obviously much better, and even her complexion became rosy.

But this is certainly not the effect of dietary therapy. It is just that Pingxin is using the physical contact between the two to feed Nile and use ripples to treat her illness.

Soon, Ping Xin was also sweating profusely, devouring all of Nilu's leftovers without wasting a single drop. This was due not only to treating Nilu's cold, but also to Ping Xin's intense focus on clearing Nilu's internal injuries and chronic illnesses.

These people, relying on their good health when they were young, have reversed their day and night schedules, and have irregular and unhealthy diets, which have led to them being in a sub-healthy state for a long time. They also always fight with others but are unwilling to spend money to go to the hospital for treatment, which leaves hidden injuries to their bodies.

These "pasts" will definitely burst out one day, and may even cost her life.

What Pingxin is doing now is not just injecting the ripples into it and calling it a day, but it is a delicate job that consumes a huge amount of mental and physical energy, like a medical operation.

If you ask why Meganelle's health condition is so bad...

In fact, (in the setting of this article) Meganil's family background is probably the worst among the four JKs.

Originally, her father was an innocent young man who came to Beijing from the countryside to seek a bright future. However, because he had a low level of education and was too naive, he was targeted by a black-hearted intermediary who cheated him out of all his money.

Still holding onto hope, he teamed up with several other victims of the scam and went to the man's house to seek justice, but they were beaten back by the thugs who were protecting him. Honest people are most terrifying when they are pushed into a corner. People's physical abilities are not the same. In his extreme anger, Meganilu's father accomplished the feat of taking on three armed men with his bare hands.

After that, he had to hide from place to place for revenge, and was eventually rescued by the leader of another Yakuza organization, the predecessor of Inuno (the name of the organization changed with the change of the boss, and it was not Inuno Group before). Later, in order to repay the favor, he joined the organization and became a rising star with some reputation in the Yakuza.

After working hard for many years, he still couldn't get used to the life of fighting and killing, so he retired and married a wife, and finally had a lovely daughter like Meganelle.

Unfortunately, his good times didn't last. About two years ago, due to his neglect of his health in his early years, he fell seriously ill and gradually became thinner. The Meigan family, who had previously been relatively well-off, had run a small business thanks to their early connections, but their living standards plummeted due to this illness.

After realizing that he had become a burden to his family, and with no one to support his elderly family members after they passed away, Mei Gan's father committed suicide after leaving a suicide note asking acquaintances in the group to look after his wife and daughter for their sake.

Then, after about a year of single-parent life, Mei Gan's mother, who worked part-time, found a stepfather for Nilu who was from a wealthy family and did not mind her having a child. Although Nilu did not want to recognize him, she had to admit that he was a diligent and honest man. Her mother should be happy with him.

But good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. One day, after the Inuno Group was formed due to a change in team leader, the old team leader, who was familiar with Mikan's father and had always protected them, was purged due to internal strife.

In order to so-called "take sides" and to settle factional grievances with the former father of Mei Gan, some incompetent thugs from the Inuno group used the Mei Gan family as a "stepping stone". The appearance of the Mei Gan family's house, which was covered with a lot of obscene words by spray paint, was their "medal of honor".

Meganelle was never a serious student. Not only was she unambitious and easily satisfied, she also left school early and skipped classes, yet she managed to achieve good grades thanks to her intelligence. Her lovable (and adorable) looks also played a significant role. Many teachers, aware of her family's troubles and aware of her distress, turned a blind eye.

But even such a carefree Meganilu will become brave and mature for the sake of her father's legacy——

One day, after returning from school, she discovered that her home was being stalked by menacing thugs and that paint had been splashed on her door. Although she wasn't good at thinking, she was quicker than anyone else when it came to making decisions. Uncharacteristically, she strongly supported her mother's remarriage and suggested that her mother, who was out shopping and unaware of the situation at home, move in with the other man.

Just like that, a foolish woman, left by a foolish man with a foolish child, was pushed into this vortex. However, the force is mutual, and the basis of alchemy is equal exchange. Everyone must pay a price for their words and deeds.

The price Meganilu has to pay is to learn to live on her own, to learn to fight against gangsters, and to be forced to become a delinquent who is always "aggressive" like her father.

After entering high school, she seldom asked her mother for living expenses. Instead, she lied that she was trying to work outside in order to become independent as soon as possible. However, her so-called work was at most just a little "reward" for protecting the ruins of the former "Mei Gan Family" from those overconfident hooligans.

The high school teachers were not as easy to talk to as the junior high school teachers, so Meganilu, who had insufficient attendance and had bad rumors outside, was naturally held back.

After that, he met Hirayuma, became friends with Hirayuma, and together they defeated the Inuno Clan.

This is what Ping Xin found out about Meganelle's past through his own means.

"So... you guys are just too stupid, aren't you? Really, you're all so stubborn that even a nasty guy like me can't stand it..."

He carried the girl in his arms to the bed and carefully tucked the quilt in for her. He then took the hand that the girl had been clinging to tightly in her sleep and lay down beside her.

But it's still a bit crowded...

"Good night, Nilu, I hope you can have a good dream tonight——"

Words are empty and powerless, but there is power in genuine emotion.

In her sleep, the corners of Nilu's mouth were raised high, and even the man next to her could see it clearly.

Good night, and see you tomorrow.

Chapter 61: Nilu's Tomorrow

"Ah...it's dawn—" When Meganelle woke up again, it was already daybreak. Lying on the empty single bed, she recalled the experience of last night in her mind.

“Ah…Ahhhhhhhhhhhh——!” From the unconscious murmur at the beginning to the roar of self-abandonment at the end, it finally turned into the cry of a little girl like a spoiled child.

After struggling with the quilt for a long time, Nilu finally got out of bed. She was still wearing the pair of pink fur bunny slippers her father had given her. Why hadn't she thought of them last night?

She walked out of the small room in the attic with hope, but stopped with a hint of disappointment.

The garbage bags once filled with convenience store snack boxes, takeout containers, and drink bottles had vanished without a trace. The floor had rarely been mopped, leaving behind the prints of Nile's shoes with every step she took. In the deserted kitchen, the scent of air freshener still lingered.

"It's so cold——"

As if to ventilate, the man opened the long-closed window, a window that hadn't been opened since the Inuno Group disappeared. The lingering warmth from the insulated box and the faint warmth of her body on her school uniform seemed to speak of the fact that Nel had missed out once again.

"As expected, they are gone... all of them..."

In this medium-sized house left by her father, Nilu is the only discordant voice and the only person who breaks the silence.

She casually touched the neatly folded school uniform on the table. It was Nilu's only change of uniform. Besides the jacket embroidered with a golden oriental dragon, it was the only piece of clothing she had worn in the past two years. Her father had left before she could even see her enter high school. If she had the chance, she would have loved to take a photo with her father and mother in front of the high school gate, like the other students.

After taking off her school uniform shirt and skirt that were stained with sweat and the girl's body fragrance, and throwing her bra and panties, which were useful but not very useful, on the ground, Nilu walked into the bathroom.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but Nilu always felt that her skin, no, her whole body was much more relaxed today than before, as if it was filled with endless energy.

Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom where she washed her hair, Nilu touched her chest and felt a little swollen. Could this be the effect of "being moisturized by a man" that she had heard about before?
