Why are there only loser heroines around me?

"If you want to do biological control, it's best to buy tabby and black cats. Calfskin and lion cats are also fine. Oh, and tabby cats are awesome too! But remember to buy a few. One cat is no match for those mice. My tabby was scratched by them and is now at the vet receiving an IV drip. Damn the mice! I'm going crazy! Aa ...

This cat master was going crazy in the community group. Yanai saw Xiaoxiao mourning for him for a few seconds, then switched to Ukyo's chat box -

"Boss, I stayed at your house yesterday, but why didn't I hear any mice squeaking in the middle of the night?"

Ukyo was riding a motorcycle, so the Shikigami on his phone replied to the message on his behalf—

Nekomata: "Hello."

Yanami: “….”

Well, if the gap between these omnivorous mice and the tabby cat is equivalent to that between the Velociraptor and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, then in the eyes of these mice, the cat that can fight with a lion in the mountains is likely to be at the level of the Trisolarans.

Yanami turned over in bed and cut out the No. 100 large group of Shifu High School, which had more than people in it. It was one of the many small groups in Shifu High School, full of handsome boys and beautiful girls, and some big figures who had done "splendid deeds" in the school.

Tian Aixing: "I kind of want to go to school. There are too many mice at home. I bought a tabby cat, but she died last night..."

Xiaoju: "I also bought a tabby, but she also died a heroic death. Before she died, she took five mice with her. She died very heroically. I buried her in the yard and built a tombstone for her with a lot of small fish biscuits in front of it."

It seems that cats are now humans' best companions, and people like cats far more than dogs. However, cats are easily sacrificed now. Yanai saw that no one was commemorating the deceased cats, so she couldn't interfere in this matter.

She set up a "team-building group" for the Psychic Club and the Student Union.

This was picked up by President Hibari on the same day after Ukyo said he would treat the literature club to a meal.

They didn't treat the members of the literature club as outsiders at all, and many important decisions of the student union were made directly in the group.

...

Tian Aixing is still thinking about that meal.

Shifugao has been on holiday these past few days, which would have been a good time to go out and play, but everyone's homes are plagued by rats, and the streets are full of demons. However, there are exorcists patrolling everywhere, so as long as you avoid walking through narrow alleys when you go out to buy things, you don't have to worry about becoming food for the demons.

There are a lot of messages in the group. This is how students are. When they don’t have academic tasks, all kinds of messages will always appear in the group chat.

People from both the literature club and the student union were discussing how to eat recently.

"I know a barbecue restaurant. The owner's family is very powerful. He hired a very powerful Yin-Yang master to set up a sand and gravel barrier around the restaurant. No matter whether it's a demon or a rat, no one can get in. But when you eat, dirt always falls on your head."

The sand and gravel barrier is one of many protective barriers, similar to Gaara's sand in "Naruto". It can automatically attack uninvited guests who break into the barrier. Thanks to this barrier, there are neither demons nor rats in the "Cloud BBQ Restaurant" that Yun Que mentioned, so it is very safe.

The boss there is an Englishman. It is said that he also carved the exorcism circle of the great wizard Merlin into the Onmyoji's barrier, which can be said to be a double insurance.

If you want to eat there now, you have to make a reservation in advance. If you go there normally, you won’t be able to get a seat no matter what time.

However, Yunque seems to be very familiar with the store, and you can reserve a seat in advance, even two tables.

"Everyone, let's go here. The time is tonight. How about it?"

"How many of us are there?"

"Looks like there are eight of them, @杏菜, are you coming?"

"I'll see what happens."

"If you come, remember to invite Ukyo along. He's been saying he wants to treat us to a meal. I don't think school will resume for a while, so don't wait until the end of this semester before he treats us to a meal."

Yanami also thought this restaurant was good, and if everyone wanted to have a meal together, maybe they could go here.

"But Ukyo shouldn't go, right?" Yanami thought so. He seemed to be monitoring the magic sword in front of Toyohashi Museum of Art with Mori recently. Last night, Yanami saw that Ukyo's account had updated a video.

The person who filmed it should be a young police officer. The picture shows that Maori and Ukyo worked together to kill a brown-colored monster with bull horns. It seemed that it was here to pull out the magic sword. The battle lasted less than ten seconds. The two men each had a sword. First, Maori stabbed the bull's belly and exchanged a punch with it. Then Ukyo rushed out from the back, and Muramasa scraped off a piece of meat from the back of the bull's neck. With a "bang", the Beretta fired a salt bullet from the bull's throat where a piece of meat was missing. The white salt was in the shape of an umbrella and exploded in the air.

"These guys are so pitiful." Mao Li in the video lit a cigarette and said to Ukyo in a very pretentious manner: "They just wanted to see if they could pull out the magic sword, but in the end they were killed by the two of us."

Yanami rarely saw Maori fight, but he knew that he was the best fighter among his classmates in the police force. A long time ago, when he fought Hanba, Maori's swordsmanship was really not good enough, but from the latest video, he seemed to have made great progress.

But this bull demon should not be as powerful as the big black rat.

Because that day at the police station, Mao Li did not dare to go in and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the other party.

Never mind... there's no point in dwelling on this kind of thing.

Yanami forwarded a group chat record to Ukyo, then typed, "Are you going?"

..........

.....

At the same time, Toyohashi Museum of Art.

A bespectacled Yin-Yang master said to the two, "The sword barrier has been set. Any non-human creature that enters the barrier will be attacked by the sword. The origin of this magic sword is unknown, so I suggest that you pay more attention to the defenses around here."

"Thank you for your help." Maori reached out and offered a cigarette to the Onmyoji with eyes, but the other party declined. He then handed it to Ukyo, who also declined. Then he took out his cigar box from his pocket, with only a thick cigar left in it.

Maori and Ukyo squatted together on the steps in front of the art museum, each smoking their own cigarette.

"Your box was always full before," Maori said. "Yanami told me that you didn't really like cigars. You only lit one when you were thinking of someone."

"You're wrong." Ukyo said, "Men always like to find excuses for bad habits. I took up cigars to mourn someone, but after I got into it, I didn't have many excuses. I only light them up when I'm preoccupied with other things, or after a fight when there are people watching. It's cool to light a cigar. I never cared about pretending to be cool in such situations before."

"I have an Italian friend. Every time he acted like this in front of me, I felt disgusted. Until one day, I also tried to smoke a cigar after the war..."

Mao Li couldn't help but laugh, "You are so honest."

Ukyo looked up at the sun in the sky, "What about you? How did you get stained with smoke?"

"Why else could I ask?" Mao Li said awkwardly. "A criminal police officer can't do his job without cigarettes. You can't play with your phone while you're on a surveillance mission, right? You can't pop mints to wake yourself up late at night when you're thinking about a case. Sometimes a cigarette really does clear your mind."

"So this is a job requirement for you?"

"Of course," Mao Li said. "I really want to quit my job and become a detective like you. I think I'm quite talented in this field. Once I become a detective, I'll quit smoking."

Youjing didn't respond, he just took it as a joke.

The phone in his shirt pocket suddenly rang, and Ukyo unlocked the screen and saw the message Yanami sent him.

Maori didn't hide it and just leaned over to take a look.

“Do you have team building?”

"Yes."

"The situation is so tense right now, and you're still organizing a group? High school students can be really rowdy." Mao Li saw the message log. "And it's at night. What are these kids thinking? Don't they know that night is when the demons are most likely to be released? The SWAT patrols have to be so careful on the streets. How are they going to get home after dinner?"

Ukyo said, "There's a hotel on the second floor of that barbecue restaurant. They plan to eat until ten o'clock, stay at the hotel that day, and leave early the next morning. The barrier there is very strong. Staying in the hotel is safer than staying at home, and they don't have to listen to rats banging on the toilet lid in the middle of the night. The room rate is a bit expensive, 20 yen a night, but that's how high school students are. If you don't indulge in luxury, what kind of youth is it?"

Mao Li was a little tempted after hearing this, mainly because the fact that there was no mouse hitting the toilet lid in the middle of the night was really tempting. There was nothing in his bachelor apartment, and he had been unable to sleep well at night in recent days.

But 20 yuan for rent is too expensive, and his salary cannot afford it.

"Hey!" Mao Li suddenly nudged him twice with his elbow. "If the boss knew that the famous Ukyo was going to stay at the hotel, would he give us a discount?"

You Jing rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you want to go, I can help you pay for the room, as long as you don't mind the generation gap with high school students..."

"No problem!" Mao Li waved his hand fiercely and said, "I just like playing with young people!"

"It's settled, Ukyo, you're so kind! When our police station has a case, I'll definitely treat you to a meal at an izakaya!"

"Is Ukyo coming?" Yanami suddenly received a message from Tian Aixing.

She paused for a few seconds, pondering how to respond. Should she declare her sovereignty? But Yanami knew that Kyo didn't seem to have the right to claim Ukyo as hers. Yanami admired Masashi, who had fallen in love with Ukyo just because of a "heroic rescue" on the street. Of course, the "like" here was just her speculation, but speculation was often accurate. If she didn't like Ukyo, why would she have specifically asked if he would come to this impromptu dinner?

Isn't the subtext of this sentence, "Doesn't she hope Ukyo can come?"

"I don't know." Yanaijian typed a normal reply.

She really didn't know and had no other thoughts.

"Aren't you familiar with Ukyo? Ask him for me."

The two people started a strange question-and-answer session, and everyone suddenly fell silent.

The guys who were discussing rats, barriers, and which exorcist was more powerful just now all shut up, as if at this moment, the outcome of the invisible confrontation between the two women was more effective than the rat extermination plan.

Yanaijian felt that Tian Aixing's words were familiar. She always felt that Hualian had said something similar to her. When she and Cao Jie were still together, she asked her, "Aren't you very familiar with Cao Jie? Ask him for me."

She had forgotten exactly what Hua Lian said that day, but it was very similar to what Tian Aixing said.

"Let me ask..." Yanaijian was typing in the chat box. She was afraid that she would become the one who gave up her "boyfriend" again, so she added: "I can't decide whether he comes or not. You know what kind of personality Ukyo has. If he doesn't want to do something, it will be useless even if Amaterasu kneels in front of him and begs him."

Don't come, don't come, don't come...

Yanami told himself several times not to come, but the reality was always the opposite of what he wanted.

Xiaoju: "How about I go and ask?"

Why are you showing up at a time like this?

Xiaoju didn't have any ulterior motives. She appeared very generous on the Internet. Things that she wouldn't dare to do normally were easily done on the Internet. Talking to Youjing through the chat box was much easier than meeting him face to face in reality. She didn't have to look into his eyes and didn't feel any pressure.

But Xiaoju is actually on the same side as Yanami. She thinks Yanami can't get Ukyo to come, so she wants to take on this job. Xiaoju didn't realize Tian Aixing's little plan. If Ukyo came to this party, then they would be defeated in this short battle!

"Good things should be kept within the family, Xiaoju Zhihua!" Yanaijian sent a private message to Xiaoju.

This is what social anxiety is like. Even if she can become brave on the Internet, she has no experience of interacting with others in real life. Therefore, the lack of emotional intelligence is difficult to make up for.

"I understand!" Xiaoju replied to the private message. Fortunately, she was not too stupid and understood it immediately.

She jumped into the group chat and replied, "Haha! I don't seem to have any friends with Ukyo, otherwise you should ask."

Well done, Xiaoju!

Yanaijian continued typing, "@天爱星, I've already asked, everyone just wait for the news."

The temperature in the group chat returned to normal at this moment, and everyone started discussing their own topics again.

But before long, this normal atmosphere came to an abrupt end again.

The owner of the level 1 account who had never spoken since joining the group, posted his first message in the group.

"What time is it tonight? I have someone else here who wants to go, @Skylark, would you mind having dinner with this guy who's about to turn 40?"

"Don't mind! We can talk about anything! Just let him come, he will definitely not feel the generation gap! Besides, the president is very familiar with the store owner, and seems to be a very good relative of her family. In case she has nothing to say to us, we can still pull the store owner to the table~!" Tian Aixing typed as fast as playing the piano.

Classmate Ma Tian is interested in You Jing, and this is known to everyone in the student union. She would ask people to find out about You Jing's recent situation whenever she has nothing to do. There are many handsome side profile photos of You Jing on the campus forum, which were all taken by her with a camera using a high-magnification lens in some deserted corner.

Every time someone slanders Youjing, she is always the first to come out to defend him.

When Ukyo was nicknamed "The Moving Corpse," she posted over ten solutions on the campus forum and tagged Ukyo. But he didn't respond. Ukyo had a forum account and would post spam whenever he had nothing to do, but he ignored her. Some junior officials in the student union who had a crush on Tian Aixing said, "Your crush is so obvious, but he still hasn't responded. Ukyo definitely doesn't have a place in his heart for you."

Vice President! The one who is humble in love is definitely the loser!

Many people also analyzed for her, saying that Youjing is not a good person. A good person would at least give some response, but you have liked him for so long, but he didn't even give you any response.

The premise of responding needs to be based on confession. If there is no confession, there is naturally no question of responding.

The president told her that Ukyo’s rejection of her was obvious, so she should not do anything meaningless.

But Tian Aixing felt that she had a chance. She had asked around and found out that Yanami was a former loser who had been with Ukyo for so long but still couldn't win him over. Moreover, there were actually not many girls in the school who had confessed to Ukyo, and among the many who had confessed, there was no one with a very high appearance.

If a beautiful girl takes the initiative to confess her love to a boy, it is rare for her to be rejected.

Tian Aixing just falls into the category of "beautiful girl".

Next year, Ukyo will be a sophomore in high school, and there's not much time left this year. If she can confess her feelings by the end of the year, then the entire winter break will be like a honeymoon. Even if she's rejected, she can use this opportunity to test his feelings for her. Tian Aixing knows that Ukyo's agency is looking for swordsmen. If kendo isn't an option, other martial arts skills will also do.

All the swordplay halls in Toyohashi City were full, so Tian Aixing chose a Chinese boxing gym as a second choice.

That is the only martial arts hall in Toyohashi City. It is run by a Chinese who cannot speak Japanese. Due to the language barrier, he has very few students. But Tian Aixing has seen him fight and feels that he is more than just a show-off. Once he becomes a master, maybe he can join Ukyo's office?

.........

.....

Yanaijian had no idea that today's dinner was a Hongmen Banquet set up by his "rival in love".

The last time she went out for a group dinner was the hotpot dinner. If she knew that she would fall into the confession trap set by others at both dinners, she would only have one word to say: weird.

Mao Li, who was currently staring at Ukyo's phone screen in front of the art museum, said, "You're almost forty!"

"I know the barbecue restaurant you're having dinner at," Mao Li said. "My colleague went there a few days ago. They also have charcoal-grilled bullfrogs and roasted rats."

The bullfrog was alright, but the roasted rat was quite subtle.

Youjing knew that rats could be eaten, and the method was similar to eating other animals. The rats needed to be gutted and the hair removed by steaming with hot water or roasting with wood ash. The cleaned rats were then smoked with rice husks or rice bran until they turned into a dark yellow or coppery color. Roasted rats were available in Fujian Province in China and some areas of Thailand.

It is rumored that its taste is not inferior to crispy roast duck, and its aroma is also unique, but Youjing has never eaten it. He had heard Finkel mention it by chance before, and that guy praised it highly.

But Ukyo was rather averse to this kind of thing. He really didn't know how anyone could eat the copper-colored rat skewered on a wooden stick.

No one would order this dish at a party.

And Maori's sudden mention of this was definitely not because he wanted to eat mice.
