I have too many anime girlfriends!

Shinji Kaminaga didn't care about Hayato Hayama's situation.

He returned to the classroom like a real elementary school student and began his regular lessons.

This lesson is taught by Mr. Yamada.

Yes, that's the one with glasses, the homeroom teacher for this class, who teaches Chinese.

One part of the Chinese language course involves calling on students to stand up and read aloud.

And now it's Naoka Ueno's turn.

After being called on, Naoka Ueno stood up. Because she had been annoyed with Yamada-sensei for a long time, she began to read aloud with a sense of venting, and the passage happened to be very appropriate.

"I will absolutely not apologize, because I did nothing wrong..."

"What's wrong with you, Ueno? What kind of tone is that?" Teacher Yamada immediately sensed the emotion in her words and her face turned cold.

Naoka Ueno was somewhat taken aback, completely stunned. She was a girl with a particularly strong personality, who was both bad at games and loved to play, a coward who was also defiant.

I was really enjoying venting my emotions while reading, looking all fierce and determined, but then the teacher yelled at me, and I instantly turned into a weak little rabbit.

"Never mind, you don't need to read anymore. Sit down. Next, Xigong, you'll read."

Ms. Yamada simply told her not to read anymore and skipped to the next one.

Naoka Ueno felt very embarrassed and could only sit down resentfully, muttering "damn four-eyed bastard" under her breath.

Shinji Kaminaga watched this scene quietly. When he heard that Nishimiya was being called, he reached out and tugged at her arm, signaling her to stand up.

After spending some time together, the two had developed a good understanding, so she immediately understood what he meant. Based on the teacher's gaze and the expressions of her classmates, she knew that he was calling on her to read aloud.

After Shinji Kaminaga pointed out the passage he should read, he began to read it aloud in his clear and pleasant voice.

Although there are still some flaws, it is a great improvement compared to before.

She spoke slowly and clearly, which surprised her classmates.

So Nishimiya's voice is so beautiful.

This is only natural; she and Yukino Yukinoshita have the same voice timbre, so when she speaks normally, her voice is naturally very pleasant to hear.

"I absolutely will not apologize..." the child stubbornly said, then couldn't help but emphasize... "I did nothing wrong..."

"Very good, that was a great reading. Everyone should learn from Nishimiya. Sit down, Nishimiya. Next Ishida, you're up."

As Yamada listened to Nishimiya Shoko read the entire passage, he couldn't help but show an expression of amazement.

Compared to her previous unclear, drawn-out, and shrill voice, Nishimiya Shoko is now gradually able to speak normally under the guidance of Kaminaga and Yukinoshita.

Seeing the change in his student, Mr. Yamada couldn't help but look at Shinji Kaminaga with admiration, expressing his approval of this helpful student.

When Ishida Shoya heard his name called, he instinctively stood up.

He glanced in the direction of Nishimiya Shoko and Kaminaga Shinji, then looked at Ueno Naoka's indignant expression. Determined to impress the class beauty, he closed his eyes and pretended to read aloud, making "waaaaa" noises.

This was clearly a reference to Nishimiya Shoko's unclear reading at the beginning of the lesson. His funny antics drew laughter from his classmates, which made him even more smug.

"Ishida, stop fooling around! You sit down too, you don't need to read anymore! What's wrong with you? Can't you be serious?"

Mr. Yamada was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Next, Kaminari, you're up. I heard you can talk now, right?"

"Yes, that's correct."

Shinji Kaminaga didn't waste any words and immediately delivered a textbook-perfect reading by using his penetrating yet gentle voice.

This immediately drew intense gazes from Naoka Ueno and Miki Kawai.

Handsome, with a nice voice, and excellent grades, he's practically their dream guy.

Unfortunately, the male god only knows how to take care of Nishimiya Shoko.

Mr. Yamada was satisfied. He smiled and nodded, praising, "Very good. Our school happens to be short of an announcer. I can recommend you for a try. Come to my office after class."

Shinji Kaminaga calmly nodded, which was taken as an agreement.

After class, Shinji Kaminaga went to the office. Mr. Yamada was going to take him to the broadcasting studio, and he had to greet the corresponding teacher first.

"Tch, what's so great about that? It's just that she's a little bit good at studying."

Ishida said sourly, but dared not say it out loud, only muttering it quietly.

This cowardly behavior earned him the contempt of Naoka Ueno.

Naoka Ueno's gaze fell on Shoko Nishimiya, her mood somewhat sour.

She discovered that Nishimiya Shoko wasn't actually completely deaf, and felt deceived.

So she walked over and stared intently at Nishimiya Shoko.

"Nishimiya-kun, you can actually hear things, right?"

Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Shoko smiled, nodded slightly, and replied, "I can hear... a little, but... not very clearly."

"Oh, how did you hear that? You're not completely deaf."

Naoka Ueno's words were somewhat harsh. Out of jealousy that Nishimiya received so much attention from Kaminaga, she wanted to expose Nishimiya's deception to everyone.

Since she wasn't completely deaf, it meant that there was no need for everyone to take such meticulous care of Nishimiya all the time, and she didn't deserve any sympathy.

Furthermore, comparing this to the statement "I can't hear" written in Nishimiya Shoko's notebook when she first arrived and introduced herself, it shows that Nishimiya Shoko has been deceiving everyone all along.

The gentle and kind Nishimiya Shoko didn't sense any malice; she simply wanted to share her own experiences.

So she parted her fluffy flaxen hair to reveal the hearing aid she was wearing in her ear.

"It's thanks to this... hearing aid that I can... hear... just a little bit."

She wasn't lying. Without a hearing aid, she wouldn't be able to hear anything at all. Her mother bought it for her so that she could integrate into the lives of normal people.

A world where you can't hear anything is truly terrifying.

"Oh, so this is it, a hearing aid? Can I take a look?"

Naoka Ueno curiously reached out to Nishimiya Shoko, wanting to confirm whether what Nishimiya said was true or false.

Nishimiya Shoko didn't think much of it and handed her the hearing aid.

Naoka Ueno took it and put it on her ears.

Then I couldn't help but frown.

"The sound is so loud! This thing can amplify surrounding sounds? Can you still hear me now, Nishimiya?"

Naoka Ueno quickly took off her hearing aid and continued asking questions.

However, Nishimiya Shoko did not react, but simply smiled gently as usual.

Clearly, she couldn't hear Naoka Ueno's words.

Naoka Ueno immediately understood her situation, and a pang of guilt flashed through her mind.

But the dissatisfaction in my heart still remains.

After all, since Nishimiya Shoko can hear some sounds with her hearing aids, she is not completely deaf. It is shameless for her to use this to get help from others!

"What kind of hearing aid? Let me see it too!"

Ishida Shoya had already noticed the situation, so he immediately came over and made a request.

Naoka Ueno didn't think much of it and simply tossed the hearing aid to Shoya Ishida for inspection.

Ishida Shoya took it and gave a disgusted look. "Ugh, how dirty! It's something taken out of my ear!"

Without waiting for anyone else to react, he threw the hearing aid out the window.

Naoka Ueno and the others, along with Shoko Nishimiya, stared at him with wide eyes, unable to believe their eyes.

"Ishida, what are you doing?" Naoka Ueno couldn't help but ask.

She never expected that Ishida would throw away something so important to Nishimiya.

Although she had a problem with Nishimiya, it didn't warrant damaging the hearing aid that Nishimiya relied on for survival to receive information from the outside world.

Shinji Kaminaga once told her that if she covered her ears for 10 minutes or locked herself in a quiet, dark room for a long time, she would know what kind of world Nishimiya Shoko had been living in all along.

Ishida Shoya, still reeling from the reproaches around him, blurted out, "What's going on? You hate Nishimiya, right? I was trying to help you, Ueno. What's wrong with that?"

The others immediately looked at Naoka Ueno with strange expressions.

Naoka Ueno immediately turned red with anger, and the seemingly incompetent but pretentious beauty's eyes welled up with tears.

"Ishida, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I say I hated Nishimiya? You're doing this and claiming it's helping me? That's so weird!"

Nishimiya Shoko stared at Ishida Shoya in astonishment, her gaze fixed on the window where the hearing aid had been thrown, tears welling in her eyes.

She didn't understand why Ishida would throw her things out the window when they were classmates.

There's a small lake outside the window in that direction. If the hearing aid gets wet, it's definitely going to break, and there's no point in finding it.

"Wow, Kaminari is back!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, and the crowd instinctively parted to make way for Shinji Kaminaga as he slowly walked over.

He didn't speak, his face as calm as ever, yet he exuded an inexplicable aura.

Ishida Shouya subconsciously shrank his neck, then clenched his fists and said stiffly:

"What? I...I'm not afraid of you! Are you going to stand up for Nishimiya?"

Shinji Kaminaga sighed, and after passing by him, he raised his hand and patted Nishimiya Shoko's head in a comforting gesture.

The girl finally couldn't hold back her tears and started wiping them away. She looked out the window, feeling somewhat helpless.

Shinji Kaminaga gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Don't cry, it's okay."

He then looked at the nervous Ishida Shoya and said bluntly:

"Then, please pay me back, Ishida-kun."

He even used the word "please," which made him seem very polite.

"Huh? I... I'm not going to pay anything?"

Ishida Shoya stammered, his whole body trembling with guilt.

He also regretted his impulsive actions, and now he felt a chill in his heart.

Faced with the gazes of those around him, the elementary school student who had caused the trouble avoided eye contact with Shinji Kaminaga.

Shinji Kaminaga's gaze swept around the area, and those he saw instinctively lowered their heads.

Naoka Ueno was also silently wiping away her tears; she had been tricked by Ishida in a big way.

The other students probably all think that she instructed Ishida to throw the hearing aid away.

Shinji Kaminaga helplessly turned his gaze to the guilty-looking Shoya Ishida.

"You have the nerve to ask me what money I'm going to lose? Do you even know how much a pair of hearing aids from Nishimiya costs? At least 20 yen, enough to buy you countless Kamen Rider models!"

"What? Two...two hundred thousand yen?"

The students around him gasped in shock.

They're all elementary school students; they've never seen so much money before.

Ishida Shoya was completely stunned.

"Did you hear that right? Two hundred thousand yuan? For that little thing?"

"So, you didn't even know the value of a hearing aid, and just threw it out the window without saying a word? I thought you were rich and could easily afford to pay for it."

Shinji Kaminaga shrugged and looked at him with disdain.

Ishida Shoya blushed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

The stares from his classmates made him want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

20 million yen!

Ishida's small action resulted in such a large financial loss.

Wow, Ishida is amazing!

Seeing that he was stunned, Shinji Kaminaga didn't waste any words and continued, "There's a lake outside the window. The hearing aid is definitely unusable if it falls into the water, so compensation is a given."

"Ishida, I know you acted on impulse, but sometimes you really have to think before you do something and whether you have the ability to bear the consequences."

"I'll tell your mother about this. I hope you'll remember this lesson and not lose Nishimiya's hearing aid again. Is there anything else you'd like to say about the outcome?"

When Ishida Shoya heard that he was going to tell his mother, he immediately became anxious.

"No...don't tell Mom, I...I'll apologize, okay?"

Shinji Kaminaga stared at him as if he were an idiot, and coldly retorted, "If apologies were enough, what would we need police officers for?"

"Because of your impulsiveness, Nishimiya lost 200,000 yen. Do you think an 'I'm sorry' can make up for 200,000 yen?"

"I...I..."

Ishida Shoya lowered his head deeply, his shoulders slumped, unable to refute.

In the original story, Nishimiya Shoko was too gentle, too kind, or rather, too weak, which is why she was constantly bullied and lost a total of eight hearing aids.

Those people became increasingly brazen because they took advantage of her inability to speak.

In fact, when faced with the situation of hearing aids being deliberately thrown away, simply stating the price and having the elementary school student compensate for it resolves the issue.

Elementary school students are not capable of handling a 20 yen incident, and the only outcome is that the parents have to pay compensation.

Seeing that Ishida Shoya remained silent, Shinji Kaminaga also said nothing more, addressing those around him:

"Everyone, disperse. If anyone thinks they have too much money at home, they can always take Nishimiya's hearing aid and throw it around for fun."

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads.

They're not stupid.

Not only did you beat up Nishimiya for bullying him, but you also made him lose his hearing aid and have to pay so much money in compensation. They're not as stupid as Ishida; they wouldn't do something that doesn't benefit them at all.

After the onlookers dispersed, Shinji Kaminaga looked at Naoka Ueno, who was still wiping away tears and sobbing, and said somewhat speechlessly:

"Ueno-san, why are you crying again? The ones who should be crying here are Ishida, who suffered heavy losses, and Nishimiya, who was bullied."

"Um, I...I, please don't misunderstand me...umm~!"

Shinji Kaminaga patted her head and laughed, "What do I mean by misunderstanding you? You didn't lose the hearing aid, and you don't need to pay for it. Wipe your tears, or you'll look ugly if you keep crying."

Naoka Ueno quickly stopped crying, staring blankly at his hand, her cheeks rapidly warming up, turning red all the way to her ears.

After calming Naoka Ueno down with a gentle head pat, Shinji Kaminaga pulled Shoko Nishimiya back to her seat and began to comfort her in his own way.

This poor girl is like a soft bun. Without his protection, how badly will she be bullied in the future?

I really can't leave her alone.

Naoka Ueno was appeased, but Shoya Ishida looked utterly defeated.

He was terrified by the 20 yen compensation.

Of course, we can afford to compensate, but it will be a burden on my mother.

My mother is the manager of a hair salon, and she saves up her income little by little.

But now, because of me, all of my mother's hard work over this period of time has gone down the drain.

Ishida Shoya regretted it so much he wanted to chop off his hand.

Well, knowing to regret means there's still hope.

This lesson will stay with him for the rest of his life.

And so, the world where only Ishida Shoya was injured was achieved once again. Who told him to be so impulsive?
