In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

"Or do you still want to stay at home as usual?"

"Can I hang out with everyone from the end of the band? Can I?"

Ichiri Goto captured the key words keenly.

There is no doubt that in Goto Ichiri's mind, hanging out with friends can definitely be regarded as an extremely lively behavior.

If she could do this, would she be able to become a real person? Thinking of this, the socially anxious girl named Goto Ichiri felt a little happy deep in her heart.

"Of course... We have to go out and play during the summer vacation. This is a privilege given to us by the God of Vacation."

Chen Xinghua opened his eyes slightly and saw the pink figure of Goto Ichiri.

Then he moved his body according to what he saw, gently placed his right hand on Goto Ichiri's head, and kept stroking it.

As the person being caressed, Goto Ichiri immediately showed a comfortable expression.

“Is there a God called the God of Holidays?”

While Goto Ichiri was complaining, he closed his eyes comfortably and felt Chen Xinghua.

Goto Ichiri is just socially anxious, not stupid.

Or perhaps it is precisely because she suffers from social anxiety that she is more able to perceive the emotions hidden in other people's actions and expressions.

She naturally felt that her childhood sweetheart had been trying to get closer to her, intentionally or unintentionally, recently.

...But it seems that most of the actions he took were avoided by Goto Ichiri's social phobia.

(That's true, you should pay more attention, Pochi-chan.)

"Goto Ichiri" said rather weakly, as if he had experienced something particularly important and his fatigue value was full.

(Even if he was a little less socially anxious... wouldn't he have been taken down long ago?)

"Goto Ichiri" was complaining about Goto Ichiri and also trying to divert his own attention.

So let's put off the matter of ending the band's disbandment for now.

This is not only because "Goto Ichiri" feels that she should not disturb Pochi-chan's good time now, but also because she still can't imagine herself and how Pochi-chan will solve this problem.

Since she can't solve it, is it possible for another self with even more social anxiety to solve this problem?

As long as they don't suppress their guitar skills, the ending band in this world line will sooner or later follow in the footsteps of the ending band in her world line.

But if I suppress my guitar skills... that's the only thing that's impossible. The people who ended the band would not allow Goto Ichiri to do that.

However, if I tell Pochi-chan about this, she will definitely ask her childhood sweetheart for help.

"Goto Ichiri" couldn't help but think so.

Although if you tell ordinary people that there is a self from another parallel universe living in your mind, it will definitely be considered as suffering from severe chuunibyou... or worse, considered as mental illness.

But "Goto Ichiri" just feels that Pochi-chan trusts her childhood sweetheart enough, and believes that even after hearing her say such shocking remarks, he will seriously think about her remarks, instead of just treating it as a problem caused by severe chuunibyou or mental illness.

“I think there is a holiday god.”

Chen Xinghua said very seriously.

The sound of running water in the bathroom gradually stopped, and the humming of the white cat also stopped.

"…Do you have matcha parfait?"

Kaname Lenai asked seriously.

"No...and eating Buffet at night is bad for your stomach, especially in such a cold weather, after just getting caught in the rain."

Chen Xinghua tilted his head down and looked in the direction of Yao Lenai.

"...Can I have something hot?"

Due to the line of sight, the first thing Chen Xinghua saw was Yao Lenai's slender ankles. The skin on them had a healthy and elegant color, with a slight tinge of lovely pink.

As Kaname Rakana drew closer, more and more details entered his mind. A few drops of water, still wet, slid down the back of Rakana's foot, driven by the laws of physics, landing on her neatly manicured nails.

If he widened his vision a little, he could feel the girl's gentle steps on the floor, which seemed to be telling of the girl's youthful breath.

"Okay...anything to eat?"

Kaname Lenai nodded with some regret.

Although she really wanted to eat matcha parfait, since Chen Xinghua said that she couldn't eat it now, she would eat it tomorrow.

"Are you dressed?"

Chen Xinghua looked upwards and soon saw the white bath towel that Yao Lenai was draping over herself.

...Shouldn't he have asked this question? Isn't it obvious?

Thinking of this, Chen Xinghua touched the back of his head helplessly.

"not yet."

Yao Lenai stared at Chen Xinghua's eyes, and without moving her feet, she walked towards the bathroom and reached out to put on Goto Ichiri's old pajamas.

This is because she has a single-threaded mind and thinks that it is enough for her to just answer Chen Xinghua's questions and there is no need to do anything unnecessary.

Looking at Yao Lenai who hadn't moved for a long time, Chen Xinghua was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

"Go get dressed...the clothes are in the bathroom you just came out of."

The white cat received the owner's order and turned around and walked into the bathroom in an instant.

Goto Ichiri looked at Ms. Kaname Rakuna, whose behavior and thinking patterns were full of electric waves, and felt that he didn't have to worry about her stealing his childhood sweetheart.

Because honestly, she felt that if a cat with the common sense of an elementary school student could be considered a love rival... that would be too scary. It would be like the yandere woman in the light novel who tried to drive away all the women around the male protagonist.

…She doesn’t have gravity to this extent yet.

Chapter 262 Is it okay?

While Goto Ichiri was thinking, Kaname Rana quickly put on her old clothes with cat ear hood in the bathroom, then walked out of the bathroom quickly and trotted to Chen Xinghua's side.

Looking at the cat-ear cape on Yao Lenai's clothes, Chen Xinghua sighed slightly. It seemed that Yili had never worn this dress once since she bought it... She seemed to have always been wearing those pink sportswear.

"I'm sleepy...I want to sleep."

Yao Lenai narrowed her eyes and used the simplest words to express the desires from the deepest part of her heart.

"Then I'll take you home... I don't know if there are any trams at this time, but there should be taxis."

As he spoke, Chen Xinghua stood up from the sofa and put on the slippers he had placed under the sofa.

Goto Ichiri suddenly grabbed Chen Xinghua's arm because the keywords "single man" and "going out late at night" reminded her of the recent frequent incidents of men being attacked.

"Absolutely not... because nowadays there are frequent incidents of boys being attacked when they go out late at night."

Even if Kaname Rakuna had the common sense of an elementary school student and wouldn't have thought of raping her childhood sweetheart, on the other hand, with that level of common sense and a small body, even with her childhood sweetheart, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand the planned attack of a nymphomaniac.

If that kind of thing happened to him, if that kind of thing happened to him... Goto Ichiri didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

"What if something unexpected happens?"

Goto Ichiri waved his arms in panic, as if trying to stop Chen Xinghua from going out in the middle of the night.

"...Isn't it that unlucky?"

Chen Xinghua responded.

"I want to go straight to bed."

Yao Lenai patted Chen Xinghua's shoulder, wanting him to turn around and look at her.

After seeing Chen Xinghua shift his gaze back to her face, Yao Lenai uttered the next sentence.

"Taking the bus at night is...too much trouble. I want to lie down in bed and sleep now."

Her eyelids gradually became heavy, as if falling down, and Chen Xinghua's face began to blur in her sight.

"I think what Lenai said makes sense. It would be troublesome to go out so late. And... and taking a taxi would be expensive."

Goto Ichiri hastily agreed.

Looking at Yili, and then glancing at Yao Lenai who was about to fall asleep, Chen Xinghua couldn't help but sigh slightly.

“…Then there’s nothing we can do.”

"But Lenai, you haven't told your family that you're staying out today, have you? Will they agree?"

Chen Xinghua calmed down and thought that Lenai's parents might not agree to Lenai staying overnight in a strange man's home without permission, and might think that this behavior is particularly dangerous.

Wait a minute... Chen Xinghua thought of something, was silent for a moment, and reached out to touch his chin.

According to the current worldview, it seems that I should be the one who is worried.

"I told you."

Yao Lenai took the phone, operated it for a few times, and then answered Chen Xinghua honestly.

"When?"

Chen Xinghua came back to his senses and frowned.

"just."

Yao Lenai yawned lightly, raised her head slightly, and pointed the lit phone screen in the direction of Chen Xinghua.

"In terms of time, it is indeed just now."

Chen Xinghua looked at the time of the chat history on the phone screen speechlessly.

Listening to Chen Xinghua's voice, Yao Lenai closed her eyes again, and her body leaned towards Chen Xinghua unconsciously. Her head also slowly tilted, as if she was about to fall on Chen Xinghua's body, and her not-so-short eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her cheeks.

"He looks really sleepy."

Chen Xinghua couldn't help but poke Yao Lenai's soft face, causing the latter to subconsciously turn her head, then completely relax the strength in her body and fall on the former's arm.

"It's time to sleep... Where should I sleep?"

Chen Xinghua looked at classmate Yao Lenai who was about to fall asleep and raised a question.

Sleeping on the sofa? That's definitely not an option... He wouldn't be that rough with a girl.

Then sleep on the bed...whose bed?

And Goto Ichiri also thought of the same confusion as his childhood sweetheart.

"Le Nai... Coco can sleep with me, me, me, me."

She raised her arms and told her childhood sweetheart in a trembling voice that she meant to be herself.

For someone with social anxiety, sleeping with others is really a bit difficult for her.

"Is everything okay? Yili."

Chen Xinghua looked at her childhood sweetheart with some suspicion, and her body seemed to tremble.

"No problem, Lenai and I are both girls. There's absolutely no problem with us lying on the same bed."

Goto Ichiri clenched his hands and placed them in front of his chest, as if he was trying to cheer up the social phobic named Goto Ichiri.

But for Goto Ichiri, who is Chen Xinghua's childhood sweetheart, she is more afraid of sleeping with her childhood sweetheart and Kaname Rana than sleeping in the same bed with Kaname Rana.

……

Late at night, the bright moonlight and the twinkling starlight collaborated to shine through the window and into the glass, adding a tranquil atmosphere to Goto Ichiri's room.

In this peaceful atmosphere, Yao Lenai gently curled up her slender legs, hooked her toes on the edge of the thin quilt, and her breathing gradually became smoother. Like a lazy white kitten, she enjoyed this rare comfort.

As time went by, Yao Lenai's originally steady breathing gradually became rapid, and her closed eyes would occasionally open a tiny arc, as if she was wavering between dreaming and waking.

"Uh-huh?"

Kaname opened her eyes and stretched out her hands as if wanting to hug something, but her intention was ultimately in vain.

So she lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

But the sound of her getting up woke up Goto Ichiri, who opened his frightened eyes and looked at her.

...Is this a ghost? Goto Ichiri huddled deeper into the covers.

But her terrified body stopped her from doing anything, which allowed her to identify the short-haired woman with white hair sitting at the head of the bed.

"Lena, what do you want to do?"
