The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

Bang-!

After leaving these words, Mizukuri closed the door, leaving Pingxin standing alone outside.

"Alas... the hope of a beautiful girl is still too heavy for someone like me. It would be better if she could at least get off the couch when she lets me get on... By the way, could you at least give me your wallet and phone?"

"Brother, pass—"

"...Oh, that's a big help, Toki!"

Catching the shoulder bag his younger sister tossed from the window, Pingxin felt like he could go on a spontaneous trip anytime... Why does he look more like a middle-aged man who's been kicked out of his house? He'd escaped singlehood in his previous life, only to find himself paying off his debts here?!

Ping Xin was lost in thought as he walked. Fortunately, he had just finished watching Pretty Cure, Kamen Rider, and Space Guard. It was not even 10 o'clock yet, so what should he do?

Anyway, let’s eat something first!

Just like that, on May 2016, 5, Ping Xin's five-day vacation officially began.

"No way! The more I hold back, the angrier I get. The more I back down, the more I feel like I'm losing out! Why do other schools give you free Monday and Tuesday off, but Shengxiang Middle School still has classes? And they won't make up for it later, so won't I lose two days of vacation for nothing?!"

Hirayuko was sitting on a swing in the old park, sipping a bite of Yamabuki Bakery bread and a sip of Calpis, like a salaryman mumbling in a Tokugawa izakaya.

After a hard day's work, they nibble on yakitori and sip beer, grumbling nonstop about the economic downturn, the demoralized team, the difficulty managing it, and the boss being a mascot, knowing nothing about work. Each one seems even more nagging than a shrew. But considering they vent their frustrations before returning home, avoiding bringing their stress and negativity to their families, it's hard to feel compelled to criticize these office workers who stay out late and return home reeking of alcohol. It's truly a difficult life for everyone, no matter where they live...

"Meow--?"

Translation: Who understands this? I can't do anything because I'm just a cute cat repairman.

"How can it be that my meat-eating brothers can't even have a sip of soup? The treatment must be full!" Ping Xin performed a can opening with his fingers. It's a pity that no one was present at such a scene, otherwise the surprised Ping Xin would definitely "accidentally" perform this stunt often, right?

He opened the cans perfectly, throwing them one by one like throwing shurikens, landing them smoothly without spilling a drop of the premium meat canned cat food inside. As expected, the "Big Proxy Teacher" is much more powerful than the average small proxy. Even ordinary players don't dare use it to play games for fear of being hung up and scolded.

"Eat, eat it all. Anyone who doesn't eat is disrespecting me!"

"Meow meow meow?"

Translation: Is the shit shoveler crazy today?

"Meow--?!"

Translation: You look so awesome, but I'm just a little cat and I don't know anything.

"Meow meow meow!"

Translation: Just eat and that's it. Cats live to enjoy themselves - eat, sleep, and when you're in a bad mood, your owner will give you a massage. Just lie down and that's it.

Just do it, Oli Ge!

*Don’t ask me how such a short meow can translate so many words. You don’t understand the world of cats…

"Yes, yes, that's how it should be eaten. No, it can only be eaten that way! I must gather my troops immediately and show you my Warcraft Legion!" Ping Xin, who didn't know what was going on, turned on his mobile phone player, and a very powerful song immediately spread throughout the area -

"Meow?!"

Translation: What is this? It seems to be a very old song——

"Meow meow!"

Translation: Newbie, come with me and make some food. You should know that this song is very representative in this area!

"Meow!"

Translation: Looking for a free meal? Take me with you!

Following the call of the commander-in-chief, fur balls with gradually rounded shapes rushed towards this side in the streets and alleys, among the trees and bushes, and in the streets and courtyards.

The cats that came to this area could only see the back of a man wearing a windbreaker (he got it from nowhere) standing on the top of the slide. He looked so tall and mighty, and in his hand he was actually holding high-quality cat strips that were said to be infused with the legendary holy medicine catnip!

"Meow meow meow!"

Translation: This is no longer just an ordinary cat owner, he is simply the cat's savior!

"Meow--!"

Translation: Merciful Father, I have fallen into a country flowing with milk and honey!

"Meow!"

Translation: Commander-in-Chief, we respect you, meow!

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--!"

Pingxin felt immense satisfaction watching the army of cats he'd trained, following the "Pavlov's Dog" experiment principle of playing music = feeding, gathered here. It couldn't be helped; a man's happiness was that simple. And with this wooden stick of perfect length, thickness, and shape in his hand, a new day began...

Pavlov's dog? There's only Pingxin's cat here!

Suddenly, Ping Xin's body froze.

Because on the roadside, a cold singing girl with purple-silver hair and golden eyes was chasing a cute four-legged beast, but she didn't expect to see such a rare scene -

"... Nanikoulei (What is this)?"

It's almost noon, why do I feel so cold?

Pingxin gave up thinking——

Chapter 68: There are two mothers?

etc--!

If my music and cat food could be the keys to summon adorable, fluffy four-legged creatures, and cat repair could attract beautiful girls, then wouldn't that mean music + cat food = kittens = beautiful girls following them?!

Could it be that the key to this forbidden power (the path to the present life) has always been in my hands...

Splashy!

Seeing the man next to her with a silly smile on his face for some reason, the beautiful JK passerby who was attracted by the kitten just now, or the young singer named Yukina Minato, lowered her vigilance again - after all, this man looked like the type who would be easily toyed with and sold, and would help count the money. This expression can only be said to look very silly... It's just reassuring, but it's still very weird!

So she silently moved a little to the side, and the friction sound of the metal chain of the old swing woke the man from the daydream that his brain had created to escape reality -

"...I'm sorry about that day... Anyway, I'm sorry."

I didn't mean to scare you that day. A girl would be terrified if a stranger suddenly ran towards her at night, right? Sorry...

But the words are always hard to say, especially for someone like Ping Xin who has a social anxiety disorder and complex psychological reactions, and when facing a strange beautiful girl who is famous for her coldness.

...that day? Come to think of it...Yuukina had some recollection. That day, she had simply come here following the singing and the cats.

Seeing Yukina, lost in thought, sitting on the other swing beside him, Hirayuko breathed a sigh of relief. If she'd been told she had no recollection of it, he'd have been devastated and gone home to become a stay-at-home for the rest of his life, right?!

But looking at it this way... she's really beautiful. Putting aside all the hair and eye colors that are so garbled that it's completely incomprehensible what genetics are, this world, just the facial features and appearance, judging from the scope of what he currently has access to, are far superior to those in his previous life—

Minato Yukina, her exact age is unknown, but since she was seen wearing the Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy High School uniform before, the two should be of the same age.

Ping Xin is not a playboy who would wait at the gate of a girls' school or go out to pick up girls on weekends. The reason why he knows her (one-sidedly) is mainly because one of his ways of entertainment and relaxation is to go to LiveHouse to watch performances, and he happened to see Yukina's performance.

It is worth mentioning that although Ping Xin is not good at dealing with crowds, he will have no problem at all after bringing a full set of defense!

He's completely oblivious to the fact that he's even more conspicuous in his suspicious outfit of baseball cap, sunglasses, and mask. He seems to be the type who can expertly rely on self-deception to get through difficult times...

In fact, the LiveHouse CiRCLE that Minato Yukina often goes to in Pingxin is also very famous——

Because of her cool appearance and professional-level singing skills that can crush a group of amateurs, she is called the lonely singer. Although according to Ms. Tsukishima Marina, who did not want to reveal her name, her height does not reach 160cm even including the height of her performance shoes.

This aloof singing diva with long, straight purple-silver hair was always solitary and taciturn, leaving no one knowing what emotions lay hidden beneath her golden eyes. Her simple white dress made her look like a down-and-out princess, estranged from the world. Beneath her aloof exterior lay a lonely heart.

Ping Xin thought that every time she sang, she looked like she was trying her best, as if something was chasing her. She looked like she was about to cry... Children of this age should be carefree and cheerful all the time, so why didn't they smile more?

Ping Xin didn't have the guts to ask such a question to a beautiful girl he didn't know, and even if he did, he wouldn't necessarily get an answer. After all, in his previous life, he didn't want to be asked why his parents never came to parent-teacher conferences, why he never watched popular anime, or why he wore his washed-out school uniform on his days off.

"She'd be so cute if she smiled..."

Having accidentally said this, Ping Xin immediately looked up at the lone singer who had already stood up from the swing in shock. Isn't this just like a small animal that is easily frightened? Wait -

It’s bad, I’ve become a pervert!

Ping Xin understood the current situation in an instant.

"Wait! This is a misunderstanding! It's just...that...I happened to hear your singing at CiRCLE before. You have superb skills and perfect looks, but it would be better if you could smile more..." Ping Xin hurriedly explained.

"...A fanatic fan? A sasaeng fan (a fan who intrudes into an idol's private life)?"

Yuki stood further away. If the kitten in her arms hadn't been performing the traditional art of kneading milk, she would have run away in an instant, right? Pingxin suddenly wanted to invest in a cat cafe—

"...Wait, wait! I'm really not a bad person?!"

Do I really look like a bad guy? Ping Xin doesn't know, and doesn't want to know!

Because the man in front of her gave people a feeling of being more unstable and dangerous than before, Minato Yukina turned and left——

"Yukina☆! You're actually here! I've been looking for you for ages... Wow, so many kittens, so cute!... Who is this? You look familiar—"

The visitor was a lovely girl with fashionable attire and a lively voice. She was slightly taller than Yuki, but probably no taller than 160cm. Her curly brown hair in a half-ponytail, her light makeup, her pink earrings, and her cute yet slightly sexy outfit all spoke volumes about her identity. Combined with her gait and her aura...

Hot girl, and the pure type! Ping Xin came to a conclusion in his mind in an instant. His brain was smarter than in his previous life, and his thinking speed was super doubled. Ping Xin was also more powerful in fantasizing, otherwise he would not have almost driven himself into jade syndrome.

In fact, a gala girl is not the kind of girl seen in many novels or even thin books, who wears revealing clothes, has very open sexual views, and even skips classes, which is similar to a delinquent girl. Instead, it is a general term for girls who simply like fashion, like to dress up, or pursue self-improvement. Even a silly girl like Uehara Himari can be a gala girl.

But she had a kind of, how should I put it... a reassuring feeling similar to that of Karin? Heishin went back into human observation mode.

Her light green eyes were filled with concern, and her face showed her fondness and concern for her "rebellious daughter," Yuki. It was like a mother's tolerance as deep as the sea. Could it be...

Could it be that she is also a woman who can become my "mother" like Hana Rin? !

I have two favorite mothers, and both of their hearts are sincere (fog)

Mother: ???

"Lisa, let's go. He's just... a fanboy."

Seeing her childhood friend, Lisa Imai, appear, Minato Yukina was visibly relieved. However, she couldn't be careless in front of this strange man and couldn't let Lisa be targeted.

Yukina, who had a strange misunderstanding, was like a chick trying to spread its wings in front of a hen. She was so cute that the two people present were touched by her appearance.

"...Well, although you may not believe this, it was really a coincidence! I definitely didn't feed the cats here with the intention of using cats to attract girls." Ping Xin explained.

I have to say, looking at the ground covered in furballs, all eating, sunbathing, and high on catnip, Ping Xin's words are strangely convincing. After all, how could anyone prepare so much food for a cat just for the extremely low probability of trapping a beautiful girl? It's impossible that they're just playing for fun, right?

I'm not an elementary school student anymore, ahaha——

*Sorry, Pingxin, he really is...

Chapter 69: All Mistakes Made by Youth

"Yukina, I don't think he is a bad person." Lisa Imai said standing beside Yukina.

After all, unlike Yukina Minato who is an icy beauty (although she is only 155cm tall) and looks unapproachable, Lisa Imai has a strong social circle and communication skills as a hot girl. However, she is very disappointed that she has not been able to find new friends for her childhood friend Yukina.

Her rich life experiences, including school life and working part-time at a convenience store, have also given Lisa Imai a pair of eyes that can distinguish between good and evil. Although not as sharp as a thimble, she can still easily tell whether the person in front of her has bad intentions... Wait, Lisa Imai remembered -

Ping Xin is the kind person I met at a convenience store one day!

"Lisa, but..."

"It's okay, Yukina. I'm with you so don't worry. Just listen to what he wants to say. I'm curious too~" Lisa hugged Yukina lovingly, and then the former shyly distanced herself from her.

Seriously, what's going on with this mother-daughter interaction? They're about the same height and age, but how could their temperaments be so different?! But then again, the idea of ​​someone like Nero not being there seems a bit too far-fetched...

"Well... I've actually always believed... that the music played and the songs sung with heart can convey the emotions of the person involved to the audience." Ping Xin said intermittently.

"So~?" Lisa smiled and encouraged him to continue.

Although they had only met a few times while working at a convenience store, and Hirayuko was always dressed very conservatively, Imai Lisa still recognized him because of his unique aura. After all, it was rare to find someone with such a strong presence who tried to hide themselves. He would sometimes pick up Aoba Moka from get off work, helping them finish their work early. Therefore, although they had never interacted directly, they had met a few times.

Ping Xin's expression immediately brightened up. It wasn't that he was lecherous, but simply because he felt safe in the presence of someone like Liza who showed him direct kindness.

Similar to Kadodade Karin, Imai Lisa's tolerant female presence helps Hiranobu relax, almost as if neutralizing Yukina's aloof attitude. The feeling of having someone to help him clean up after his mistakes truly reassures Hiranobu, a feeling that stems from his lack of maternal love and a sense of security in his previous life. But wouldn't most people dislike that?

Hirayuko found it difficult to look directly at Ichinose Asuna's aura, which was as scorching and shining as the sun. If Karin, who also suffered from inferiority complex, had not been present and they had gradually become familiar with each other, he might not have had any physical, verbal or even eye contact with Asuna. In fact, until now he was still afraid to be alone with Asuna.
