A reversal of fortune and victory in a world hated by all girls!

"No..." Hayakawa Keiko lowered her head and started shoveling rice into her mouth.

Keiko, who is usually the most active person at home, was silent today, which was very unusual.

Even the most mischievous younger brother, Koizumi, stopped playing video games and turned to look.

Dad and Mom exchanged a glance, and then Mom raised an eyebrow.

Dad reached into his pocket, pulled out a beautifully wrapped little gift box, and handed it to her.

"Huizi, here you go. It's to make up for the birthday present from last time. Your mother and I specially picked this out. Open it and take a look."

"..."

Keiko Hayakawa kept her head down and didn't say anything.

"Huizi?"

The next second, Keiko Hayakawa suddenly stood up, ran out of the dining room, and headed up to the second floor.

I returned to my room.

At this moment, she felt very complicated. She had only written half of her homework in the open notebook on her desk. She picked up her pen, but hesitated to put pen to paper.

With my head buried under the table, my mood was like a stone sinking into the sea, gradually drowning.

until……

Bang bang bang.

I heard a knock on the door.

Two seconds later, a small figure quietly opened the door and tiptoed in.

It was her younger brother, Koizumi, who had been playing video games while eating.

"What's wrong, sister?"

Upon hearing Koizumi's voice, Hayakawa Keiko, as the older sister, immediately looked up and quickly wiped away her tears: "Why are you here? Go eat!"

"If you don't eat, how can I eat?" Koizumi plopped down on the edge of the bed next to the desk.

"Honestly, I need to do my homework, I don't want to eat dinner."

"You'll get hungry if you don't eat." Koizumi stared at his sister's back, then stood up and walked to her side. "You can tell me if there's anything bothering you. I'm your own brother."

"It's really nothing, you should go out now."

"I do not!"

"Get out of here!" Hayakawa Keiko pushed him towards the door, but Koizumi used a roundabout tactic, jumping onto her bed and circling around her.

"I'm not leaving until you tell me!"

"How old are you? You wouldn't understand even if I told you!"

"Say it! Say it!"

Keiko Hayakawa tried everything she could, but she still couldn't subdue the brat and eventually had no choice but to give up.

"I told you, sister."

"...Then let me tell you, you're not allowed to ask random questions."

"Mmm!" Hayakawa Koizumi sat back down on the edge of the bed with great interest, looking like she was willing to listen.

Keiko Hayakawa slowly arched her back like a deflated balloon.

He slowly rested his head on the table and said softly, "Koizumi..."

"hold head high."

Have you ever envied someone else's life...?

"Of course! I really envy one of my classmates' families. If they have money, they can buy whatever toys they want. That's so awesome!"

"Yes, it's so nice. Some people are born with everything, beauty and wealth, while your sister and I are not only weak-willed, but also so plain-looking. Sometimes I really think..."

Koizumi seemed to sense the sadness in her sister's tone, and her own tone became cautious as she leaned down to ask, "So what exactly happened?"

"Never mind! It's okay to tell you! Your sister has been thinking about someone lately, but he seems to care more about a friend of mine. My friend is very beautiful and has everything. I'm not even in the same league as her."

"Haha, no wonder you've started changing your hairstyle lately. Is this what they call 'losing the game but not losing face'?"

Keiko Hayakawa glared at him.

Koizumi immediately shut his mouth.

Watching his sister gradually sink into depression, he asked a strange question in a daze: "Is the person you care about an ordinary person?"

"what?"

Keiko Hayakawa clearly didn't understand what her younger brother meant.

Koizumi continued, "Since your friend is such an outstanding person, is the person you care about just an ordinary person?"

"Well... he's... pretty ordinary."

"That solves everything!" Koizumi slapped his thigh, then leaned forward and said firmly, "Ordinary people are a perfect match!"

"What...what are you saying?"

"Yes, think about it. Reality is reality. A frog won't turn into a prince after being kissed. The Cinderella story in fairy tales is all fake! An outstanding person and an ordinary person will have a generation gap and no common topics. In the end, it's just a matter of either she stepping down or he stepping up. On the other hand, shouldn't you be more suitable for him?"

"..." Hayakawa Keiko was stunned by her brother's words.

"That's why you shouldn't be discouraged or give up, but should be even braver and fight back! Weakness will lead to defeat!"

Seeing a hint of emotion on her sister's face, Koizumi quickly pressed her advantage, emphasizing again, "Remember my words, ordinary people are a perfect match! Good luck, sister!"

With yet another encouragement, Hayakawa Keiko seemed to be persuaded, and the gloom on her face gradually disappeared, and she felt much better.

Koizumi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Thank you..." Hayakawa Keiko reached out and patted her younger brother's shoulder. Sometimes she thought he was naughty, but at times like this, even though he was only thirteen years old, he still advised her like a big boy, which warmed her heart.

"Okay, I'm going back to my homework. You can go now."

"Then you should eat..."

"Let's eat later."

"Oh," Koizumi replied, turning around and taking only two steps when she was called back again.

This time, she seemed rather timid.

"Please, please help me apologize to my parents."

"Ah? Oh..."

Koizumi quickly agreed and ran out of the room. Not long after, three voices suddenly rang out from outside the door.

"You idiot! I told you to call your sister for dinner, why did you still come out alone?"

"Also, I told you to give the gift to your sister, what did you do inside? Go back in again!"

"What? I clearly did everything I could to save the day, but you two are too embarrassed to say it yourselves, so you insist on asking me to go. I don't care anymore, I'm going to eat!"

"You brat!"

Listening to her parents and younger brother whispering outside the door, Hayakawa Keiko's smile deepened.

Yes, there's nothing wrong with being ordinary. Ordinary people can also have their own unique brilliance.

This is her ordinary yet loving family life.

Chapter 33 Hayakawa strikes first!

……

"What? When did the three of you get together?"

Natsuki Aoi was shocked. He hadn't expected that Anne Sakurajima would bring Keiko Hayakawa and Mito Takahashi to join the Exploration Club.

Wasn't this club disbanded by now?

He shared this question with Anne Sakurajima.

Sakurajima Anne pointed to her lips, then gestured with her finger to indicate the distance, squinting as she said, "Just a little bit more."

Stop trying to act cute at this time.

"Why did you guys suddenly agree to join this weird club?" Aoi Natsuki asked.

When Takahashi Mito heard this topic, she was instantly furious. It was as if she had complained about this issue many times before, so she didn't want to repeat it.

It was Hayakawa Keiko, who was standing next to him, who told him the reason.

It turns out that these past few days, Sakurajima An had been calling their names from the back door of their classroom after class, using a shameless tactic. To this day, Takahashi Mito still can't forget the scene yesterday morning when she came out of the toilet stall and Sakurajima An was already waiting for her with tissues in hand, along with that seductive smile. Even now, thinking about it still makes her shudder.

So after her tireless efforts, the two finally agreed to join her exploration club. Not joining a club often makes it easy to be ostracized, and she said that the club didn't have any strict requirements on a daily basis, so it was just a matter of being nominally in the club.

"With Aoi added in, this Exploration Club can be considered completely revived."

"I?"

Natsuki Aoi pointed to herself, her mind beginning to wander.

Although Sakurajima's condition is somewhat unstable, she seems to know that he wants to get close to Takahashi Mito, and she also intends to make it happen. Now that Hayakawa and Takahashi have joined the club, this may be a good opportunity for everyone to get together and increase their favorability.

But is that really what Sakurajima meant...?

He glanced up at Sakurajima, and Sakurajima Anne raised an eyebrow at him.

Okay, let's just believe her for now.

"Alright then, I agree to participate."

"That's great!" Sakurajima An immediately clapped her hands. "So, where will our Exploration Club's first destination be?"

"Wow, that fast?"

"Of course! Let's strike while the iron is hot! How about we go to some abandoned old school campuses? Or explore some urban legends? Or try some online spirit writing or Ouija boards?" Sakurajima Anne became particularly excited when she mentioned this, clenching her fists as she spoke.

hiss……

The other three gasped in shock.
