The goal of life is to break up all couples

Songzhi Zi tilted his head, looking innocent: "Does Ye Shan's opinion matter?"

Ebina Hina looked at him: "Isn't it important?"

"He just won't take the initiative to do anything."

Matsueda Azusa said something quite vicious with an innocent look on her face: "But when others take advantage of him, he'll just accept it. After all, he doesn't want to hurt anyone. So you don't have to worry about whether getting along with him will become awkward or impossible after you take advantage of him—for the sake of the group's survival, he'll adapt on his own. As long as you don't take it too seriously, it doesn't really matter."

Ebina Hime sighed: "It's really pitiful that Hayato met a guy like you. In fact, Hayato is a good person, and we all respect him."

"I don't deny this."

Matsueda Azusa didn't shake his head. "To the people around him, and even to most people, Ye Shan is a good person in the standard sense. Even I don't think he is a bad person. It's just..."

"He's a good guy, but that's all."

He turned his head away. "Having the good intention of protecting everything, but not actually protecting anything, doesn't really mean anything."

Chapter 226 I told you she was a problem girl.

"..."

Ebina Hina sighed, "It doesn't feel good to say this, but it seems to be true. I asked Hayato for help on this matter before, but... I admit that he was indeed very concerned about it, but he didn't do anything until the end."

Azusa Matsueda rarely spoke up for Hayato Hayama: "He did hint to Tobe in a roundabout way, euphemistically, to get him to give up on confessing to you."

Ebina Hime waved her hand. "Being so tactful is like doing nothing at all."

Songzhi Zi laughed: "That's not what I said."

Even under normal circumstances, Hayato Hayama would only try to smooth things over, offering half-hearted solutions when faced with a conflict. But when faced with a conflict as difficult to reconcile as this one, all he could do was pray.

This is all that good guy Hayato Hayama can do.

Matsueda Azusa looked at the somewhat dejected Ebina Hime and continued, "Have you ever considered such a clichéd yet classic method as finding a shield?"

Ebina Hime nodded: "Yeah...I have thought about it."

"Although I've been slandering that guy Ye Shan, he is indeed a good candidate."

Matsueda Azusa touched his chin.

Ebina Hina shook her head: "That would be very troublesome, and... Hayato wouldn't agree."

That's true. Unlike the method Azusa Matsueda had proposed, which was based on groundless rumors, if it were truly used as a shield like "fake object", the impact would be much greater.

That's the campus male god Hayato Hayama. The girls chasing him can rank from Sobu High School to Tsuki No Mori. Even Miura Yumiko couldn't catch up with him before. If he was taken down by Ebina Hime now, you don't have to guess what a big uproar it would cause.

What's more, Hayato Hayama didn't even want to confess and be rejected, so how could he be willing to be a fake boyfriend?

Ebina Hina added: "Instead of choosing Hayato, it would be better to choose Yui."

Songzhi Zi's eyes lit up and he raised a finger: "Oh, that's a good idea too."

"I'm just kidding. That would be even more troublesome... I don't mind being a fujoshi, but I don't want to be mistaken for a lesbian."

Ebina Hina said helplessly: "Besides... Yui will really misunderstand."

This is true. Given Yuigahama Yui's personality and intelligence, if I tell her the truth, she might accidentally leak it out at any time. If I don't tell her the truth, she might really think Ebina is a lesbian.

Ebina Hina shook her head and pointed at Matsueda Azusa, "Actually, you were the one I considered at the beginning."

"Wow! You have good taste."

Songzhi Zi gave her a thumbs up and said, "Then you really found a ghost."

If someone wants to use the Minister of Supervision of Dan as a shield for the impure relationship between men and women, he must be a true genius.

"But Yumiko strongly opposed it."

Ebina Hina smiled faintly. "When she heard the idea, she jumped out of her chair. I didn't expect her reaction to be so dramatic. It really took me by surprise."

"It seems that she really regards you as a good friend."

Songzhi Zi nodded confidently: "I'm afraid you'll fall into the sea of ​​suffering if you make a mistake."

Ebina Hime chuckled: "Why are you so pessimistic about your love life?"

Songzhi Zi asked speechlessly: "Aren't you the same?"

"Yeah, there's nothing I can do. Even if I get a boyfriend now, it won't go smoothly."

Ebina Hina answered frankly: "I can't understand others, and I don't want others to understand me, so it's impossible for me to get along well with others."

"I quite agree with that."

Matsueda Azusa nodded and said, "It was because we failed to understand each other that my previous relationship failed miserably."

Having said this, both of them fell silent at the same time.

Matsueda Azusa immediately quickened his pace, dashing to the front. He waved to Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was walking in front of him, and shouted, "Shizuka! Come quickly! There's a troubled girl here who has the same type of Stand as me! Quickly correct her personality!"

Having finally escaped from Hiratsuka Shizuka's hands, Komari Chika breathed a sigh of relief. She looked exhausted and completely burned out. She walked with floating steps like a wandering ghost, lowering her head and raising her eyes to quietly observe the situation here.

Shizuka Hiratsuka punched Azusa Matsueda on the head and said, "At this rate, all the students in the school will have to be sent to me for further studies! Are you trying to tire me out?"

Indeed, Sobu High School is a demon cave, with too many gods and people. It feels like gods from several worlds have been gathered together, otherwise how could it be so abstract?

Ebina Hime followed and said with a smile: "I just want to live a peaceful life."

Matsueda Azusa was shocked and quickly hid behind Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Kirara Yoshikage said the same thing! Shizuka, quickly punish her with your invincible iron fist!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her head helplessly. "Isn't it nice to live a peaceful life? Doesn't everyone want to be like you, jumping around and making a fuss every day?"

"What are you talking about! I won't cause trouble for myself... Uh, maybe."

Songzhi Zi turned his face away and crossed his arms, "Let her continue talking!"

Hearing what Matsueda Azusa said, Ebina Hina chuckled softly and actually added, "I'm very satisfied with myself and the environment around me right now. I've been looking forward to this kind of life for a long time. Wouldn't it be a pity if I lost it? I like this kind of environment and the people around me."

As she finished her words, her gaze widened, gazing towards the end of the long street. In the pitch darkness, she couldn't make out who was there, but... within her eyes, she must have seen someone.

Matsueda Azusa seemed lost in thought. He probably had the same mindset when he was in the second generation of Crychic.

People can neither praise nor blame the little lies they tell themselves. Because they know how to cherish, how to be reluctant to lose. Thus, they eventually learn to conceal and deceive. However, because of this, those who live this way will eventually lose something...

However, even if you don't hide or deceive, and express your thoughts directly like Matsueda Azusa, you will still lose everything in the end.

In a constantly changing world, some relationships are bound to change. No matter if you try to hold on to them or let them go, no matter if you put on a facade or treat them with sincerity, what is gone will eventually go away.

It actually sounds a bit like a fatalistic and pessimistic argument.

Shizuka Hiratsuka stroked her chin. "That's not a problem, is it? Getting used to the present and not wanting to change... That's a very normal thought, isn't it? Most people..."

Ebina Hime narrowed her eyes in laughter, a hint of loneliness in her smile: "——So, I hate myself."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's words paused.

Matsueda Azusa's comment followed closely behind: "See, I told you she was a problem girl."

227

Chapter 227 Let’s make a deal.

After a hearty meal of ramen, everyone returned home with great satisfaction.

Through some casual chatting while eating noodles, Matsueda Azusa learned the reason why Komari Chika was hiding in the corner of the hall - this was also the mission of Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yukinoshita Yukino thought that the school trip was a good opportunity to make friends, so she asked Chika Komari to take advantage of the free time in the evening to try to find someone to chat or play with - after all, generally speaking, there are always many students who bring board games to play at this time, and they don't mind some classmates who are not very familiar with them joining in.

As long as you are a little thick-skinned, it is basically not difficult to complete this task, and you may even be able to get closer to others by doing this.

It's a pity that Yukinoshita Yukino had good intentions, but Komari Chika messed up the execution. Not daring to disobey Yukinoshita's orders, nor having the courage to join the other students, she could only hide in a corner, intending to return later to tell Yukinoshita Yukino that she had tried her best but failed.

How could Yukinoshita Yukino not personally supervise such a task assigned to Chika Komari? It goes without saying that if no one was watching, she would definitely choose to run away.

After such a long time, Xiaoju Zhihua still hasn't made any progress. As expected, asking a guy who can't make friends himself to teach another socially anxious person to make friends is an impossible thing in itself.

Make friends...

Azusa Matsueda thought of Yumiko Miura who had asked him for help.

He himself is not good at making friends, and Ebina Hime is a very difficult person to deal with... Miura Yumiko really thinks highly of him.

Ebina Hina has already formed a set of logic that is completely her own in her mind, and uses this logic to protect herself and maintain her daily life. It is impossible for Matsueda Azusa to easily make her give up this logic.

If he wants to achieve his goal, he can only use the evil methods that Matsueda Azusa is best at.

Looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka striding away, and Chika Komari slipping away as if she had escaped by luck, Azusa Matsueda finally spoke to Himena Ebina, who seemed ready to leave but hadn't taken a few steps.

"Now that the troublesome guys are gone, I can finally tell you what you want to hear. I assume you didn't come here just to chat about meaningless things, did you?"

Songzhi Zi leaned against the wall, twiddling his fingers absentmindedly. "It's really hard for you to hold back your temper and fool around with us for so long. Now let's get straight to the point—you want me, or rather, me representing the Supervisory Department, to play the bad guy, right?"

This wasn't hard to guess. If Ebina Hime simply wanted to seek solutions to her problems, she could have figured it out on her own, even bringing Miura Yumiko along. There was no need to go to Matsueda Azusa specifically. Since she'd come to her, it meant she already had a plan in mind.

The reason why Matsueda Azusa didn't mention this matter just now was, on the one hand, that he didn't want to take on this troublesome thing for no reason, and on the other hand... Maybe if Hiratsuka Shizuka heard about this plan, she might try to persuade Matsueda Azusa not to do it.

After all, whether it was using Hayato Hayama's recording to mislead Tobe, or letting Hina Ebina find a shield, it was all internal affairs of their small group. No matter what it looked like on the surface, there would always be subtle changes behind the scenes.

Although being able to maintain superficial peace is good enough for them, there is obviously a better solution - that is to let the Supervisory Department become the bad guy to prevent all this from happening.

Anyway, the Supervisory Department itself has enough reasons to do so, and doing so will not arouse anyone's suspicion - after all, Matsueda Azusa is the kind of troublemaker who no one knows when or where he will suddenly appear to disrupt the situation.

Ebina Hina didn't hide her feelings after hearing this. She nodded and confirmed, "Indeed... Of all the methods I can think of, this is the safest and least harmful. However, I don't know how to convince you to agree to this plan. It doesn't seem like you're really interested in doing it."

She thought for a moment and said, "I know it's shameless to make such a request directly, but I can't imagine what you need that I would give you in exchange."

"I really don't want to get involved in this kind of trouble. Besides, a 'couple' like you guys who are never going to succeed is not the target of the Supervisory Department."

Songzhi Zi held his forehead and sighed: "But it's not that I can't agree to your request. In exchange, I do need you to do something - so let's make a deal. I will be the bad guy and help you solve this problem with the Ministry of Revenue, and you have to agree to one condition of mine."

Ebina Hime was curious: "What are the conditions?"

"Ugh……"

Matsueda Azusa folded his arms helplessly and turned his head away: "The condition is that you... go make friends with that Miura guy."

"?"

After hearing this, Ebina Hina was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What kind of conditions are these? Yumiko and I are friends..."

"Not friends in the current sense."

Matsueda Azusa explained: "What Miura wants to become with you is not just a superficial friendship like now, simply enjoying the atmosphere and the fun."

"She has made up her mind to truly understand you and want to know your true feelings and thoughts. She wants to be a true friend with you."

Ebina Hina paused for a moment before finally speaking again: "Yumiko didn't care about this kind of thing so much before. She was just like us, hoping to maintain the status quo and afraid of losing..."

"You're wrong. She's just like that. Otherwise, she wouldn't care about you and protect you in her own way like an old mother."

Matsueda Azusa shook her head. "She behaves like you did because you all think that way—especially Hayato Hayama—and she doesn't want you to get hurt, so she subconsciously defends your ideas as her own. But she's not like that at heart."

"She's different from people like you and Ye Shan who might have been hurt in the past and therefore have these weird ideas. That girl hasn't had the same experiences as you, so how could she have the same ideas as you for no reason? She's just obeying you."

Ebina Hime was speechless. Perhaps, as Matsueda Azusa said, they didn't understand each other as well as they thought. "In that case, why is Yumiko now..."

"I guess I led him astray."

Songzhi Zi snorted, "Like me, you've become more selfish, more inclined to satisfy your own needs, and listen to your inner thoughts to crave sincerity... But I don't think this change is a bad thing."

Ebina Hina lowered her head, intertwined her hands and clenched them tightly.

"You don't need to behave like that with other people. It won't destroy the existing relationships you want."

Matsueda Azusa looked at the silent Ebina Hina and added, "You just have to be sincere to Miura. She's ready to accept the real you - if she's not ready, don't worry, I'll beat her up and make her wake up."

"...Okay, I agree to this condition."

Ebina Hime looked up at Matsueda Azusa, "However, I didn't expect you to do such a thing for Yumiko. It's really surprising..."

"What can I do? After all, that girl has sincerely begged me to help her."

Matsueda Azusa waved his hand. After hearing Ebina Hina's response that she agreed to the conditions, he turned and left contentedly, yawning as he walked towards the stairs. "Helping members solve problems is also the club leader's responsibility."

Ebina Hina looked at Matsueda Azusa's back and couldn't help but ask, "Is it really just because you're the captain?"

Songzhi Zi's voice faintly came from the stairs: "It's also because of our friendship."
