The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

In the final Easter egg scene of the film, submarines from various countries that were tracking Godzilla lost their targets at the extreme depths. The politicians and ambitious people who refused to give up hoped to use the previously "successful" experimental drugs and the scales left after Godzilla's injuries (scraping) to create stronger and more controllable biological weapons. The whole movie ended in such an unsettling atmosphere.

As the old saying goes—

The only lesson humanity can learn from history is that they learn nothing.

After the movie, the group walked out of the theater and started chattering. Before Ping Xin was born, the entertainment industry in this world was like being strangled by someone and stagnated in some aspects. Most of the movies were about common themes such as love, horror, and war. This was the first time a monster movie like this had appeared.

The release of the film "Godzilla" naturally had a huge impact on the world. The citizens of a certain democratic beacon country that was harmed in the film even held demonstrations in protest. In order to quell public anger, the government actually found something -

This is hard to explain. Even Ping Xin, the instigator of the online gossip on the other side of the ocean, was shocked. I was just saying it casually. Do you really have a plan for biological weapons and an ambitious group?

Because of this "accidental" appearance, the influence of "Godzilla" grew ever greater, and it quickly became a "compulsory course" in various countries.

After all, a laboratory suspected to be the prototype of the villain in the movie has appeared. What if there really is a Godzilla hiding in the sea? So after receiving the order, scientific research institutions in various countries quickly began to develop new submarines in the hope of being the first to reach the so-called "center of the earth".

Just like that, the "Earth Center Race" comparable to the "Space Moon Race" between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War officially began. However, this has nothing to do with Ping Xin, because now he just wants to pick up girls!

Chapter 46 Then back to daily life

After the movie, the five members of Afterglow went back to practice early. Perhaps the monster movie "Godzilla" will give them some unique inspiration, and who knows, maybe they'll even create new songs. Hiranobu, along with Ichinose Asuna, Kadotate Karin, Murokasa Akane, Miganelu, and her younger sister, Asuka Matoki, headed to the restaurant, Senryukaku, for a bite to eat. Every time they go there, they have to guess which Dragon King (chef) will be there that day, which is quite fun, like drawing cards.

"Pingxin Pingxin, tell me something interesting!"

As soon as Asuna entered the room and sat down, she couldn't wait to shout. Ever since she "accidentally" saw the photo posted by foreign tourists on the social software that day, she has been very curious. After all, it must be fun to be surrounded by so many cute little animals!

They chatted while waiting before dinner. Pingxin and Meiganilu supplemented each other's explanation before telling them everything about the trip. However, they both glossed over the purpose of "finding relatives". After all, talking about such things would do nothing but add unnecessary worries to them.

"Speaking of which...how's your instrument practice going?"

As soon as Pingxin said this, even Asuna, who was the most active just now, began to look around. It cannot be said that they did not practice at all these days. It can only be said that there is no difference between practicing and not practicing. The fact is that not everyone can become successful by self-study with no basic knowledge.

Besides, since Ping Xin Sensi had run away at the last minute, it was hard to blame them for anything. They just had to try harder next time. After making appointments for tutoring and instrument practice tomorrow, Ping Xin asked Delta to drive them home while he walked home slowly. At this moment, he had no idea what kind of "surprise" he would encounter tomorrow -

"Isn't it nice to live a simple life like this..." Ping Xin murmured to himself.

At the moment, he was strolling aimlessly down the street. In fact, when he didn't have a "mission," he would rummage through boxes and cabinets like a hero in an RPG, searching for something that looked like a good treasure. Now he had found his target for the day: a girl with long straight black hair and yellow-green eyes, conducting a roadshow on a pedestrian street in Shimokitazawa.

As mentioned before, Shimokitazawa has a strong cultural atmosphere, and there are actually quite a lot of people who go on roadshows in various places in Tokyo. The only procedure required is a permit from the relevant authorities.

Roadshow is a form of street performance that tests the psychological endurance and adaptability of the parties involved. It is a veritable "performance on the street". Even for a thin-skinned person like him, a successful roadshow can bring about huge changes. It is especially a good way to exercise for newcomers who want to perform on stage in a livehouse.

After pausing to listen to a few songs from the "Rabbit Monster" who would appear later, Hirayuko gave her a generous round of applause before departing. His goal today wasn't a street performance, but a mysterious theater troupe. Legend has it they toured the world and had recently landed in Tokyo's Shimokitazawa district. Hirayuko couldn't resist such a mysterious and intriguing group.

......

After the performance, Ping Xin successfully met Mr. Guiying, the leading actor of today's show, with the help of his little connections. After sharing a copy of his personally written script of "The Phantom of the Opera", the two successfully reached a "friend deal" and got the contact information of the mysterious leader of the Scarlet Theater. This way, in the future, when inquiring where they are performing, he no longer has to press F5 to refresh the official website, but can directly access his contact information.

When Ping Xin walked out of the theater, he found that it had started to rain again. Humming "Song in the Rain", Ping Xin strolled among the crowd, completely different from the hurried pedestrians around him. He hummed and danced all the way, stepped into the pit and then silently pulled his foot out. By the time he returned home, his body was completely wet.

"I am back."

"Welcome back... What were you doing outside today? I remember you always carry an umbrella when you go out."

The familiar sofa, the familiar red highlights, after the classic practice, I took a shower and lay on it. If you don’t change your shape, who will? Ping Xin seriously suspected that if it weren’t for the existence of the ripples, the increasingly relaxed Miss Meizhulan would have turned into a fat girl long ago.

"I gave the umbrella to someone else. I'm close to home anyway."

"You're always like this..."

Forget it, he's well now anyway, so why not just let him go?

"Anyway, walking in the rain does make me happy, but the rain in the city is usually quite dirty. If you have nothing to do, please don't get wet, okay?"

Pingxin changed into rubber slippers for bathing and walked straight in. After all, someone was waiting to wash his clothes.

"...so annoying, like an old lady."

Mei Zhulan whispered this sentence after Ping Xin walked away. She put down her phone and opened her notepad. Miss Red Highlights must write a song silently and surprise him, let him know that he is no longer a child.

The next day, June 6th, was an ordinary, less annoying Monday.

"We're going out."

Naturally, there was no response from home. After all, Mizukari's school was farther away, so she had left earlier than Hirayuki. His sister, Asuka Matoki, the only one left in the house who would respond, had already changed into her school uniform after their morning run and was by his side. The Asuka siblings embarked on their own commute to school. And just like that, the familiar school life began again.

"Ciallo~(∠?ω<)⌒☆"

Well, Asuna's familiar way of greeting.

"...Good morning."

"Good morning~"

Karin and Akane also arrived as planned.

"...Morning...Good morning."

Hmm, the familiar Nero——

.......Um?

Sorry, who are you, this beautiful girl? !

Seeing the shy Nelupin in front of me felt strange. Her hair was neatly combed, with a cute little bow hairpin, and light makeup that accentuated her natural beauty. If she had just been wearing the uniform of a shirt and pleated skirt, it would have been fine, but she didn't even wear that golden dragon cherry blossom embroidered jacket, and she even put on makeup...

This can't be my brother!

Could it be that he was possessed? !

Or was it me who traveled through time?!

Heishin summoned his Stand, "The World," and stood ready, ready to stop time and kill or escape at any moment. He casually mentioned the problem of the trap he had hidden.

"Nilu, do you remember how many times we slept together?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent and the world focused on them.

"you......"

Chapter 47 Roselia's Independent Performance Plan

"You...you...pervert!"

Meganelle jumped up, slapped Hirayobu, and left the classroom. Hirayobu sat silently in his seat, assuming Commander Ikari's signature pose, thinking—

At that moment of "close contact," he judged from Nel's mental fluctuations and the ripple properties containing her will that there was no possession, second personality, or otherworldly identity. It was simply that his Aibo (partner) and good brother Nel had become a good sister...

“Just” a ghost!

Ping Xin was like an old monk in meditation, silent and motionless, and then suddenly said -

"...This is a mutation, Karin!"

"?"

Although no one knows what disease he has this time, everyone has long known that Ping Xin has seizures from time to time, so even the most gentle mother in history, Karin, will turn a blind eye to it.

"Namo San, what a strange change! Could it be that even the purple old woman has closed her eyes?!"

Kadotate Karin remained silent, but was actually turning her head to hold back her laughter. Although she didn't know what Hiranobu was saying, Karin had a feeling that he was going to be beaten up and humiliated, and she felt inexplicably happy when she thought of this.

*Twisted Pingxin Chef?

During lunch break, Heishin enjoyed a handmade bento made by Karin. Her cooking skills had improved while he was away. He really wanted to marry her... In the leisurely afternoon after dinner, Heishin began to worry about other people's family affairs like a middle-aged aunt from the street office.

The Hikawa twins have "broken up" (falled out) again because the younger sister Hikawa Hina secretly went to watch the weekly performance of Roselia, the girl band in which her elder sister Hikawa Saya is a member. She also wanted to be like her elder sister so she went to learn to play the guitar.

Originally, this wasn't a big deal; it just so happened that the relationship between the twin sisters in the Hikawa family was incredibly complicated. Hikawa Sayo, born just a few minutes early, was burdened with the burden of "the older sister must do better than the younger sister." While she was incredibly diligent, her younger sister, Hikawa Hina, was a genius with a photographic memory who easily surpassed her efforts in everything. Hina simply imitated and studied her sister out of affection, only to end up hurting her with her own talent.

However, under Ping Xin's "verbal attack", he temporarily reconciled with Menghun by saying "It's the fault of those around you who put pressure on you, and your sister has no intention of hurting you." However, he did not expect that Hikawa Sayo, who "only has guitar", would eventually fall into the difficult situation of being compared with her genius sister in guitar level. In a sense, it is really distressing.

But when I think about how the elder sister of the Glacier Sisters secretly expressed her anger by snatching her sister's fries, I find the painting style inexplicably humorous. Sure enough, every girl with the three "no" attributes (silent, heartless, expressionless) is a potential comedian?

I originally added the line just to establish a good relationship with the little genius, but I didn't expect it would be useful in such a way. After all, Hikawa Sayaka would only say "my sister is making trouble again" and would not say that she actually "baku baku" the Japanese french fries. It's so funny!

I sent my sister, Hikawa Sayo, a message saying, "I'll give you my treasured guitar manual later. Master it and you'll be a world-class guitarist." It registered as "read," and then quickly sent a message saying "thank you." After all, Hikawa Sayo had said before that if your sister ever caught up, I'd help you beat her at guitar. As for the manual, I'll just collect one when I get home today...

Then Heishin sent messages to his sister Hikawa Hikawa, saying, "In any case, use food to build a good relationship. Enjoying delicious food can make people happy," and "I recommend a place for you. The 'junk food' there is very good (link attached)."

It's interesting to note that both the cold and beautiful elder sister Hikawa Sayaka and the lively and energetic genius younger sister Hikawa Hikawa both like heavy-tasting, high-calorie junk food very much, and the elder sister Sayaka especially likes French fries. This is why Pingxin just recommended to her the chef Victoria in the restaurant [Qianlong Pavilion] who specializes in the national dish fish and chips, and the American chef who is proficient in various American foods including fast food.

*That link

The benefits of having a wide network of connections always manifest themselves in these seemingly insignificant situations. As for whether the talented younger sister will buy the food directly or learn the quick "junk food production techniques" from two master chefs and then make it for her sister, that's up to her. It would be quite an interesting scene, wouldn't it? The sullen older sister, currently in a tantrum, proudly rejects her sister's homemade food, only to discover it's her favorite junk food, burgers and fries, and inhale it with disdain. After all, who can escape the "law of true fragrance"?

In fact, even several of Roselia's teammates had sent him messages like, "I recently noticed that Saya likes to eat French fries. She's so cute when she's shy~" and "I noticed Saya-san eating French fries with a serious expression, like an examiner." It's fair to say that even though he's too embarrassed to admit it, everyone knows it!

Speaking of which, they recently performed at local livehouse CiRCLE, Livehouse FOLT in Shinjuku, a medium-sized livehouse in Shimokitazawa, and Livehouse Galaxy. They've become quite popular in the area, so it's time to consider a big one. For example... a solo performance?

Ping Xin posted his thoughts to Roselia's group and immediately attracted several replies. It seemed that everyone was free during lunch break.

Yukina Minato: Isn’t it good? (Voice input)

Hikawa Saya: Yukina-san is right, and I agree.

I only have a guitar (Hiroshiwa Sayo): And...thank you

Lisa Imai: What’s going on? What happened?

Holy Fallen Angel Ako-hime (Udagawa Ako): What do you think, Lisa? Ako also wants to have an independent live!

RinRin (Shirogane Rinko): I want to do a live show too, (*^_^*)~

Hikawa Sayo: Who changed my name? @Mr. Ping who does not want to reveal his name

RinRin (白金燐子): I have changed back to @冰冰丝夜

Hikawa Sayo: Thank you, Mr. Platinum

Hikawa Sayo: Wait, why do you seem different today?

Mr. Ping (Ping Xin), who wishes to remain anonymous: Rinko's typing speed may be faster than you and Yukina combined.

Holy Fallen Angel Akohime (Udagawa Ako): What does "6" mean, Hirashin-kun?

Mr. Ping (Ping Xin), who wishes to remain anonymous, said: "It means very strong and very handsome, a popular internet term in Yan Country."

Holy Fallen Angel Ako-hime (Udagawa Ako): Then Ako must also be a very cool person

Hmm... I always feel like something is not right. Was this what we were talking about at the beginning?

Little Yuuki Minato, who was still typing with two fingers, suddenly found that she couldn't keep up with the pace of the conversation.

Chapter 48 My Brother is Gone (Happy)

It wasn't until they met again after school that Pingxin finally saw the present Meghanil. There was no eye contact, no vulgar words, no physical contact. All he saw was a cute little girl (17 years old) shyly pinching the hem of her skirt. This scene brought him to tears...

Only then did he finally confirm that his good brother, good partner, and good comrade Nilu was probably indeed gone—

...Like a meow!

Good brother is gone? ×

My good sister is here! √

Pingxin recklessly closed the distance between them, occasionally using tricks like "lift up" and "rub cheeks" to admire Miss Meigan's unfamiliar shyness. It seemed his IQ and EQ had regressed to the level of a third-grade student who loves to tease the girls he liked. After all, he was usually the only one to be tormented by the women, and today was a rare opportunity to redeem himself, so of course he had to enjoy it to the fullest.

Come on - keep playing the music and dancing!

Until Nilu blushed due to her struggle and exposed herself in mid-air, then stuck to Pingxin and kept punching his abdominal muscles with her little fists. Seeing the unfamiliar Miss Meigan in front of him, so cute and so lovable, people couldn't help but feel a desire to protect her.

Following her mother's instructions, Meganelle combined makeup with her feminine strength, and her feminine strength instantly surged, increased dramatically, and increased in strength.

Damn, who can resist such a Miss Mei Gan?

Absolutely no...absolutely no teeth!

Pingxin placed Meganelu on his lap and the group continued their tutoring at Pingxin's house. Afterward, they began their instrument practice session. Since students at Shengxiang Middle School who weren't participating in the "Going Home" clubs could leave at the end of second period at 2:45 PM, they had plenty of time to study.

After teaching Ichinose Asuna guitar and Kadotate Karin bass and assigning them homework, Hirayuki went to the piano room to teach Kasa Akane. As for Nero's jazz drums, no one needed to worry about it.

As mentioned before, Meganil and Heishin have a unique understanding of each other's body structure, behavioral habits and thinking patterns. They are even so thorough that they can construct each other's level in front of their eyes with their imagination. Therefore, Heishin only needs to demonstrate Nilu once for her to completely memorize the movements. In the end, he only needs to make slight adjustments to make it his own.

*The following are personal opinions

In a sense, an instrument only needs to produce the correct sound within the right time. So what do musicians usually train? The answer is basic skills and rhythm control.
