The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

『Singularity』, his second journey to the present main world

"Band Girls", his contact with Mitakeran and later Yukina and others became the key point of his transformation

"Goddess of Luck", because of the gravity of the soul, he met Asuna and others again, and gained luck and most importantly, the courage to try again from her!

『Singularity』, the third time he traveled, that is, now he returns to the BA world

The "Secret Cross" represents the redemption of life and the sacrifice of one's life in a place unknown to others.

——As the fourteen secret words were recited, a strange gravitational force was generated around Ping Xin, and at this moment, the two stands who stepped forward, "The World" and "White Snake", also underwent mysterious changes and became "The World Beyond Heaven" and "Made in Heaven"!

The former struck Hira Nobu with both fists, draining the immense soul power of both Killer Queen and the Crimson King. However, the previously activated ability, the Third Bomb: Genesis, which had been suspended by time, remained, and the reality-altering power of "World: Beyond Heaven" insulted and strengthened that fixed, tragic fate!

The next second, the ability "Made in Heaven" activates, and after the time stop ends, the flow of time in this world will be accelerated. Simply put, the new world created will arrive at the time of Kivotos and his students at an accelerated rate. This acceleration will gradually decrease until it reaches zero as the world reaches a natural balance, meaning there will be no adverse effects on the future.

Longevity theory, I’ll beat you up in the teeth!

As the third punch of "World Beyond Heaven" was thrown, the figure of "Made in Heaven" who had just activated its ability gradually dissipated. The halos of the students disappeared and they were all sent to the new world of the future to wait for rebirth.

Then came the fourth punch... but it didn't land. It was as if another consciousness within "World Beyond Heaven" was resisting Ping Xin's command. However, Ping Xin's mental power was overwhelming, so this final punch, though delayed, still landed... on Him.

"The stand is just a disguise. There's no need for it anymore. Take off all the masks and become your true self..."

After the power of his stand was exhausted, his appearance gradually collapsed, and after the white and golden shell of "World Beyond Heaven" fell off, he... or rather, she finally met Hiroshi Nobu for the first time -

Her long, light blue hair, with a pink undertone, exudes a sense of tolerance, ease, and gentleness. She wears a pigtail on one side, streaked with pink hair. She appears to be around 20 years old, wearing a simple, predominantly white uniform. Her azure eyes radiate a gentle, watery hue, harbouring a golden spirit.

As the manager of all students, she should have been dignified, but at this moment she was smiling, and that smile carried a sense of freedom as if she had been free from a heavy burden.

But when she thought about leaving this unreliable teacher forever, the smile in her eyes inevitably faded a little and turned into a complicated emotion.

But in the end, she said nothing, simply bowed, then smiled with relief, and gradually transformed into particles of light and dissipated beside Ping Xin, waiting with countless students for the birth of the new Kivotos. And the blessing and warmth he left on Ping Xin were the last things she could give back to her teacher.

Who made her body disappear long ago, and turned into a pineapple in order to protect her teacher's soul and go to another world?

"..."

Looking at the place where she disappeared, Ping Xin remained silent for a long time.

Awakener?

No, while they shared the same aura, she wasn't the Awakener she'd met in person, but they were still quite connected. After Hirayuko left, she had taken on the mantle, and she had matured considerably in both height and demeanor. If the child from back then had grown up, perhaps she would have looked similar.

But she is not her, but another leader who leads the girls forward with a halo. She is probably the student council president who gave him the teacher card in the second life (first round ba).

"Okay, what should I do now..."

At this moment, Ping Xin has completely lost his stand ability. The strength that he had gained in exchange for more than two years of illness has also disappeared after more than two years of use. Perhaps this is also fair.

"I no longer need a Stand (an invisible friend) anymore. To put it more coolly... I'm betting it on the New World!"

Even though his body was hollowed out, his mental and physical energy was almost depleted and he was only a step away from death, Ping Xin's spirit was now more relaxed than ever, with a feeling of being in ecstasy.

"Thank you for your hard work while I was away... I'll continue to rely on you, Student Council President~ Or should I call you Awakener? No matter what, I will always trust you~"

After he, Asuna, and the others die, their souls will return to this world, and by then, Kivotos and his familiar students will appear one by one. This time, there will be no secret arts, cross gods, or Caesar's consortium... there will only be the best happy ending—

But that’s a story for later.

"Thank you all for your protection over the years, but that's enough. Leave the rest to me, your teacher. Everyone, wait for me in the new world..."

After saying that, Pingxin closed his eyes. He was really tired.

And this time, he could finally close his eyes peacefully——

Chapter 100 Welcome Home

"Everyone, come and see, I found the nameless song left by Ping Xin! This song is so strange, it actually has four chapters, and the styles are completely different--"

As Asuna called out that name, everyone's attention was instantly focused on her, but there was no text message, no phone call, and no new news. Everyone was very tired as there was still no news from their loved ones.

“…sometimes I really envy her.”

"Maybe this is what makes her different from us~"

Akane patted Karin's shoulder, and the latter followed her towards Asuna.

"Everyone is different, but they are all important to me... If it were that guy, he would definitely say that."

"I didn't expect that Senior Little One is surprisingly good at talking."

"You better show me some respect!"

After Nel and Xiaoshi's daily banter, the two also followed. After all, everyone was curious about what Asuna found this time.

"But is this okay? Going through the senior's things when he's not around..."

"It's okay, it's okay. If he really didn't want us to see it, he wouldn't have left it at home in the first place~"

"this......"

Although Yamada Ryo's words were a bit disdainful, they made sense. Goto Ichiri no longer hesitated and mustered up the courage to follow... and followed behind Kita. When facing someone like Asuna, you have to use Yang Kaku to fight Yang Kaku!

"Even if you say that, it doesn't change the fact that you were peeping!... But if you were looking for someone, he would definitely understand, right?"

"Ah? Everyone is here today, take me with you~!"

After finding an excuse for everyone, Hongxia also followed, as well as the slightly drunk Hiroi Kikuri who had just returned from outside.

"Hey, can Pingxin write songs?"

"...Who knows, maybe."

Asakura Toru, eating a snack in the living room, looked curiously at Higuchi Enka, who was sitting beside her. Because noctchill's songs were all produced by professionals, she didn't know about it. Higuchi, who had clearly received the songs, kept silent about it, pretending to concentrate on the little pudding in her hand. This is sisterhood (sigh).

"Hmm... Ping Xin is so amazing, he probably knows everything~"

"I-I think so too!"

Ichikawa Hina lay on the ground, holding a spoon in her mouth, staring blankly at the ceiling while stretching her limbs. Fukumaru Koito, who was studying and being fed nearby, immediately gave her opinion. Seeing that everyone else had gone, she also felt a little eager to join in.

"...Let's go. Let's go and see his songs—"

As Asakura Toru stood up, the other three followed one by one, as usual.

Asuna's motivation was also very high, and soon everyone had a copy of Hirayuma's song.

"Spring Cicada - I am a cicada awakening in spring, in the right place, with the right person, but I chose the wrong time. Your appearance brought flowers to bloom, and my heart fluttered with the hem of your clothes, but I am just a cicada that shouldn't appear in this season, so my voice seems so inappropriate. You brought me a false spring and true love, a love far sweeter than honey, and a poison more hurtful than the autumn wind..."

What is this?

A question mark appeared on the heads of everyone present. It turned out that the man who always seemed calm and composed on the surface was actually such a crazy and resentful person in private?

......

...

..

In the endless darkness, Ping Xin's body was on an expedition, while his spirit was talking to someone, or rather... talking to himself——

"This should be the last time."

"Yeah, even if you want to become schizophrenic in the future, you won't be able to do it... Otherwise, I'll definitely be dragged out by you to work for nothing. After all, when you get ruthless, you even exploit yourself. You're an old capitalist."

Without the responsibility of a teacher, and with all the fate and responsibilities gone, the current Ping Xin may be the real him.

"But why didn't you fuse the world power on the card? If you fuse it, it will remain in your soul, so that you will have the power when you are 'reborn' next time."

"Well... you know, 'we' like to be passive."

"You're really not serious... But you're right. A teacher's job is just to teach and educate. There's no need for such strong force."

Yin and Yang, strong and weak, wisdom and power, just like the relationship between teachers and students, are complementary to each other. If either side is too strong or too weak, it will affect the balance and make it impossible for the two sides to get along equally.

"But why the notebook—"

"I don't need this kind of relic to commemorate the past, because we will naturally meet again in the distant and beautiful future."

"...Should I say it's worthy of being 'future me'?"

"Without 'you', where would 'I' come from?"

The two people, who looked somewhat similar but completely different, smiled at each other and then disappeared together, but the echo still resonated in this world -

"Right now, I'm probably the emptiest person in the world..."

"bad thing?"

"That's a good thing, because now I can put more people and things into my heart—"

He didn't know how much distance he had crossed, how much time had passed, but when Ping Xin opened his eyes, they were there.

"I--"

I'm back... Before I could even utter a word, the world was plunged into darkness.

......

...

..

"True かに...Welcome to come again next time~"

After counting the number of banknotes and coins, the convenience store clerk said goodbye to the suspicious man in front of him. He was wearing a three-piece suit of baseball cap, sunglasses and mask, which was extremely suspicious.

Normally, most people who come out around midnight would buy water and "safety equipment", but the person in front of me just bought a lot of snacks and drinks. Could there be a party that would last until this time?

Could it be...

Ignoring the female clerk, who seemed to be reading too much, the man returned home carrying four large bags of snacks and drinks. When he placed his hand on the doorknob, he could even feel the vibrations from the loud noises inside, as well as the countless enthusiasm and laughter.

"...I'm back--"

As the clock struck 12, Ping Xin returned to his home.

"Welcome back and...happy birthday-!"

Amidst cheers, salutes, and countless warm hugs, Hirashin was surrounded by the crowd, celebrating. Asuna, Karin, Akane, Nel; Toru, Enka, Hinana, Koito; Ryo, Nijigasaki, Ikuyo, Kikuri; and Mitakeran, Moka, Himari, Tomoe, Tsugumi; Yukina, Liza, Ako, Rinko, Sayo...

Maybe I was born into this world just for this moment, Pingxin thought.

"Welcome back, and... jiu~?"

"Wait, what are you doing here?!"

"Yeah, you're brother and sister!"

"Ah, so cunning, I want one too~!"

What is Entryway Wars 2.0?

"Hour, let's run!"

After Goodbye Asuka

"Beautiful blond lady, would you like to become part of my family?"

Just like back then, Ping Xin extended his hand.

The end of a story isn't always accompanied by a death, a huge explosion, or a man and woman embracing each other. More often than not, it's neither epic nor mythical; the end is the end. He simply put an ordinary period to an ordinary story.

Just like the relationship between a man and a woman, it doesn’t necessarily require any special development or opportunity. Sometimes people just need a little time and distance to think, and then they can naturally move towards a new beginning.

"...no!"

Before Ping Xin had time to feel disappointed, the next second, those sapphire-like eyes came right in front of him.

"Unless... you confess your love to me, 100 times!"

Do you know how long I have been waiting for this confession?

Three years later and another three years!

Three years later, double three years!!

My younger sister is almost becoming an old mother!!!

She had clearly been deliberately keeping her distance, using the legendary "playing hard to get" tactic. Yet, who would have thought that instead of making Ping Xin think about her, it was the need to maintain her persona that tripped her up. This was completely unrealistic!

Pingxin: You are using my military tactics against me?
