The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

After thinking about the pros and cons of having a son or a daughter, Pingxin gave up thinking about it. After all, he didn't even have a mother now.

"Okay... Next, we need to see what they're doing... Why are they still there?!"

After looking around, Pingxin finally spotted the two people at the original Dance Dance Revolution position. There were so many people watching! Could it be that beautiful girls can just play without waiting in line? Are you guys just here to watch them play?

You are despicable! You are a bunch of people without the soul of the game!

Ping Xin, angry——

*He has always been very harsh towards homosexuals.

"...Excuse me, I wonder what you have been looking at here for so long. Is there anything interesting?" Ping Xin randomly selected a lucky audience member and put his hand on his shoulder, asking.

"Wow—that scared me...it's Dio. Were you attracted here too?"

"you also'?"

Could it be that these perverts really came here to watch because they saw the cute new girl? Hey, there are quite a few girls here. Could it be that... they are all female ketones?! With his physique advantage and interactions with his friends, Ping Xin successfully squeezed into the front row -

On two dance machines, the energetic and petite eighth-grade student, Ako Udagawa, with her purple hair and twin ponytails, was dancing on the left machine. Her movements were simple, powerful, and graceful, a true member of the dance club. Hirayuko thought with some relief that she hadn't been slacking off during club activities.

On the other hand, Hirayuko was surprised by another girl, Rinko Shirogane, a quiet, curvy girl with long, black hair and a freshman. He had assumed she was a socially anxious person and a typical indoor geek, and even if she went out to play, she wouldn't play something so demanding and eye-catching. He hadn't expected her determination to be that—

Although Shirogane Rinko was panting and sweating, and her footsteps and arm movements were no match for the well-trained Udagawa Ako, she was clearly focused and trying hard to keep up with the pace of the game. The smile on her face didn't seem fake; she looked like she was enjoying the game.

After all, judging by how smoothly she types online and even uses facial expressions, she's definitely not the type to be incommunicative; she's simply socially insecure and lacks the ability to express herself. Using Rinko Shirogane's favorite game and Ako to calm her down without her realizing it, was bringing Rinko here the right move?

When the song ended, Ping Xin led the applause, and the surrounding players also applauded generously. Not all of the people here were high-level gamers, but regardless of their skill level, they all shared the same identity—

That is to enjoy the fun of the game!

"That's all for today, ladies. If Ako keeps working out, she might be fine, but Rinko, who's a bit weaker, will be unable to get out of bed tomorrow due to sore lower body muscles."

"You danced really well, RinRin!"

"...Xiao Yazi... is it."

Did you revert back to your old ways once you exited the game? But I've made plenty of progress today. Too much is as bad as too little, so I'll just keep working on it later...

"Don't forget to practice those three songs. If you want to practice playing together, come to my place. And then... let's go, buy some drinks at the convenience store on the way, and then I'll take you home—"

But then again, do you, a drummer and a keyboard player, need to practice dancing?

Ping Xin fell into deep thought.

Chapter 82: One on the Sofa, Five Behind

Because the three of them all lived in communities near the shopping street, they traveled together.

At the intersection of the shopping street, Hirashin said goodbye to Udagawa Ako and Shirogane Rinko.

"I'm back......"

Ping Xin arrived at the entrance, but found that no one was there to greet him. He sat on the sofa to rest his feet and browsed his phone for a while. Suddenly, Ping Xin received an anonymous text message, which read:

Look back.

Um--? !

Isn't this one of those horror movie tropes, where the guy turns around and gets smacked in the face?!

Pingxin simply rolled forward to the left. He thought this would be a more effective way to dodge if the attacker behind him was right-handed.

"Boom boom boom——"

Hmm... there's a knock on the door right after I walk in... Could it be Ako and Rinko wanting to practice playing the ensemble? Hirashin turns around and summons his Stand, "World," to block him. Unexpectedly, the creature that appears isn't the face-pushing demon he'd imagined, but rather the four Himetou (crossed out). In short, three beautiful girls and one small one!

"Asuina, Karin, Akane, and... Nel, when did you get here—and why are you dressed like this?!"

Because the four girls who appeared before Ping Xin were neither wearing the most common school uniforms nor their own private clothes. Instead, they were wearing the maid uniforms that the maid with glasses had given them before?! (Chapter 47: Singing for Whom)

"Ciallo～(∠?ω<)⌒☆...Ah, why doesn't Ping Xin look very happy? How could that be? He clearly seemed to like it very much before." Ichinose Asuna, who was lying behind the sofa, was a little depressed. It was obvious that she was not satisfied with the surprise this time.

"Excuse me, Ping Xin..."

Kadodashi Karin is wearing a maid outfit with white as the main color. She looks very cute with her blushing face. But she is probably just shy of dressing like this after following Asuna. She is indeed a serious and cute child!

"Good evening, Master." It was Murokasa Akane who spoke. It was unclear why she, who usually watched, suddenly went crazy with Asuna, sneaking into Hirashin's house in a maid outfit. But judging by the style of her maid outfit...it was surprisingly professional and elegant, like a real maid.

"Yo~ I'm here to play again, Dad~~"

Meganiello didn't utter the final word, "Dad," but instead mouthed it to Hirayuki. The short maid outfit looked like children's clothing on her, and combined with her previous line, it gave off a strange vibe... Saying it again would be rude!

"Brother, welcome back!" Asuka Matoki suddenly appeared behind Hirashin and said.

"I'm super——!"

Ping Xin was truly frightened this time. It was said that people would subconsciously speak their native language when in a hurry, so he was just showing high emotional intelligence (I'm sure)

"Little...Speaking of which, haven't you become a bit too much recently, rebellious?"

Looking at his sister Xiaoxiao and "Jitou Si" in maid outfits, Ping Xin's eyes have turned into dull fish eyes, as if he has been played with. In fact, it's just that his brain is overloaded and he doesn't know where to look.

"Who knows... maybe, maybe not?"

You have changed since you were a kid. You never used to tell me riddles!

——The culprit who led his sister astray shouted in his heart.

"Hirakoto Hirakoto, when you see us here, wearing such beautiful clothes, don't you have anything to say?" Asuna opened her eyes wide, looking like she was really expecting Hirakoto's answer.

"Uh... then I'll leave? Wait, wait, don't be so anxious, I was just joking - today you look even more...cute than usual?"

Ping Xin asked tentatively, trying his best to follow his (theoretical) knowledge to avoid the possibility of language errors - most conflicts with women can be solved by praising them, and the small part that cannot be solved by praise is the real problem (this is only Ping Xin's personal opinion)

"Karin, did you hear that? Why do you look so happy... I'm not asking that, I'm asking if you were surprised, Hirashin?" Asuna continued to ask.

"Surprise, surprise... Four beautiful girls suddenly showed up in my house in maid outfits. I'm so surprised~! - Is this okay?" Hirayuki saw what Asuna was up to, so he said this as if he was coaxing a child, which made people feel perfunctory.

Of course I was surprised, but more of a shock!

"Hmm...subtle! Never mind, the four of us will be staying here today. Please give us your guidance, master~?" Asuna said coquettishly.

At the same time, her body naturally pressed forward like a beautiful snake, causing Hana Rin and Xiao Xiao to raise their eyebrows. Although Hiraishin's sense of distance can only be described as tragic, Asuna's sense of distance towards her friends is also somewhat...

"Speaking of which... Master?"

He asked high school students of the same age or even older than him to come to his house and wear maid outfits. If you didn’t know, you would think this was some high-end play!

"Yes. Since everyone will be wearing maid outfits tonight, then everyone is a real maid. As a maid in this mansion, there is only one person you are supposed to serve, and that is you."

Murokasa Akane curtsied gracefully. She looked like a maid from a noble household, her sudden formality and warmth somewhat uncomfortably pleasing to Hiraishin. After all, he was usually a sideline figure, never taking the initiative like Asuna, nor endearingly vulnerable like Karin. Speaking of which, that seemed to be the longest sentence they'd ever exchanged since they'd met...

"Well...is anything really possible?" Ping Xin asked tentatively.

"Ha—just say it."

Meganilu agreed verbally but her hands pinched the joints making a few crisp sounds, as if she was planning to wait for this "bastard dad" to talk nonsense and then give him a good beating. To deal with such an adult, you have to correct him with actions!

"Then... let's all study together. After all, the maids' grades aside from Akane don't seem to be very good—"

This was a good opportunity to give Karin some tutoring, Ping Xin thought. After all, Golden Week had just begun a few days after the tutoring session began. It takes 21 days to develop a habit, and if you keep giving up halfway, you'll never reach your goal.

"Eh——but I'm so boring, Ping Xin~~"

Asuna swung Hirayobu's hand around, like a child clinging to their parent's arm, but the feeling on that arm was too unpleasant! Are girls actually so soft?! Hirayobu, a virgin (in two lives), was shocked. The feeling of having his arm clamped in the middle made it difficult to break free, and he fell into a "petrified state" on the spot (meaningful).

"Then... shall we play for a while after dinner before studying?" Ping Xin asked tentatively.

Xiaoshi was a little annoyed by Ping Xin's behavior.

I don't feel anything when I sleep with her normally, but men really prefer bigger ones?!

So, the group headed to the restaurant and enjoyed a delicious dinner. Afterward, they were too full to think, so they started playing games together. After getting sweaty, everyone was very excited, and then the girls all went to shower together...

Isn't this a complete lack of learning?!

Having his "weakness" grasped, Ping Xin was played around by the good women.

Chapter 83 I must use the guidance immediately!

The girls all went to the large bath on the first floor, while Ping Xin bathed alone in the bathroom on the second floor.

"Could it be that I... am actually a very easy-going person?!" Ping Xin was surprised while taking a bath.

How strange... According to my previous analysis, my personality should have been influenced by DIO's influence. Could it be that it's been neutralized by Qiao's golden spirit? Could it be that this is his true nature?! The tough guy who defied fate and braved the world alone in his previous life, Ping Xin, has now become this fussy...

Super (throwing soap)!

Where's DIO? Do something, DIO!

#Query DIO status

"At least give Karin some private lessons..."

Wait...if Karin comes, Asuna will come. If Asuna comes, Akane will probably be dragged along too. In the end, only Nel will be left, so there's nothing to be afraid of!

All kinds of martial arts, this is the dark art of war - Calabash Brothers save grandpa!

"...I have to use 'Guidance' immediately!"

*Guidance, a skill from the eighth generation of Pokémon, increases the attack and defense of teammates by one level.

As a representative of humans with outstanding mobility, Heishin stood up from the water and grabbed his bathrobe, which was considered ready for battle.

TMD, fight!

Instructing classmates in kindergarten, pointing fingers at bullies in elementary school, teaching the girls who started bands in junior high school, and now in high school, it's still the same -

Unwittingly, in this life, Ping Xin had acquired the qualifications and abilities to be called a Sensi (Mr., Teacher). Now, a day without guidance felt like ants crawling all over his body! Reaching the second-floor staircase, Ping Xin swooped down, landing like an American hero, and dashed towards the large bathroom on the first floor with the swiftness of a special mold growing after discovering oil.

"Lord Pingxin—"

"Oh my god! (Yan Mandarin) What...it's you, Alpha."

The voice that suddenly spoke from the darkness was none other than the de facto leader of Hiraishin's maids, a mature and steady figure wearing rimless glasses. Because they refused to reveal their names, Hiraishin had given them code names, like the one before him, Alpha. But why had I been frightened so repeatedly today? Was I going to have to keep my ripple detection and stand "world" alerts on at all times? Otherwise, it felt bad for my heart—

But it's pretty cool to be able to appear and disappear in the darkness... How about I appear like this next time?

After finishing his mental silencing, Ping Xin asked Alpha, "What's going on, Alpha? I'm in a hurry right now. If it's not a particularly urgent matter, let's talk about it later."

Because usually the shadow maids would take the initiative to avoid other people in the mansion, hiding in the dark 24 hours a day waiting for orders. Now they suddenly show up, so it must be because of something important?

"Yes, I understand... If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Pingxin suddenly ran out of the bathroom on the second floor after taking a bath. His target should be the large bath on the first floor that several guests are using, right?"

"...Yeah, I have something I want to tell them now, so is there anything wrong?"

Seeing Hirayukoshi's openness gave Alpha a headache. Hirayukoshi was naturally easygoing and friendly, and after two years of constantly accepting the assumption that "pretty girls would be around" and "physical contact with them was normal," he actually had a very poor grasp of social distancing. While it didn't affect his work life, it did affect his interactions with friends and family...

After all, the "habits" he'd developed over the years included, but weren't limited to, suddenly appearing in bed, casually entering the bathroom to scrub his back, and wandering the hallway with nothing more than a towel draped over his shoulder. It seemed that the adults had subtly eroded Heishin's understanding of the "gap between men and women," and the negative impact on this young person was immeasurable!

It is the maid's responsibility to admonish her master - even if she has lost the qualifications to call herself a maid, Alpha will never give up!

*It is the leader's responsibility to protect the members (Vision)

"I understand...your will is everything. Then forgive me for being presumptuous, but please at least take this with you." The bespectacled maid Alpha took out a large, smooth box from under her skirt and handed it to Ping Xin.

Seriously, how do you hide something this big down there, and how do you pull it out from under your skirt without a straight face?... But after getting used to these weird places, it's surprisingly fun.

After receiving the full box, Ping Xin shook it first.

"Hmm... a smooth, lightweight plastic package, a plastic bottle containing medicine, a flat cardboard box containing what appears to be medicine, and finally, a roughly cylindrical plastic stick..."

I have no idea what it is. It can't be a box of Le0 bricks, right? Just when Pingxin wants to ask, Alpha disappears again. Seriously, are all the maids in this house some kind of Dark Knight? Maids by day, punishing villains in the dark by night. But that's a pretty compelling premise... Maid heroes?

Because he had a large mysterious gift box tucked under his left arm, Pingxin knocked on the door with his right hand. When the knock sounded, the playful noises in the bathroom also stopped.

"...Karin, do you hear me? Come to my room later and continue what we left off."

After hearing Ping Xin's voice, the women in the bathroom all looked at the only brown-skinned girl present.

There's a traitor among us.jpg

"...Wait, what exactly is going on?"

Hua Lin couldn't help but shout out but no one responded. After all, that Sensi had returned to his room and was waiting for the female student to come to him.
