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

"Awoo awoo." The little girl waved her hands happily after receiving a response.

"Favorability +2"

"Do you have family? Big brother can take you back home."

The little girl continued writing, then turned the writing board so that the front of it faced him.

"no."

He was speechless for a moment.

His gaze also lingered on her loose pink sweater, her worn-out white jeans, and the little leather shoes with bows on them, one of the straps of which had lost its stickiness.

The answer seems obvious from the start.

When he realized what was happening, the little girl came up and tugged at his sleeve.

Looking into her timid gaze, Aoi Natsuki offered her a friendly smile as much as possible: "What's your name?"

"Lina."

"Lina, that's a very nice name. Would Lina like to go to the living room and watch TV for a while?" He instinctively raised his hand, wanting to touch the top of her head.

In an instant, as if by reflex, Lina suddenly took several steps back, and the writing board in her hand fell to the ground.

Her petite frame hid at the entrance to the hallway leading from the dining room. Whenever he made any unusual move, she would immediately turn around and run out of the hallway.

Aoi Natsuki realized her mistake. Although it seemed a bit too sensitive from the perspective of the image, it was normal for her to be wary of a girl with a negative 25% affection level towards her.

He raised his hand and took two steps back, forcing a smile on his embarrassed face: "Sorry, I startled you. Don't worry, I won't come within three meters of you again. How about you walk from the other side of the table and I'll walk from this side?"

After listening, the little girl seemed to think for a moment, and finally nodded.

The two then circled the large square table in a grand manner, much like the King of Qin circling a pillar.

Aoi Natsuki arrived at the door, while Rina went to the living room. However, she wasn't overly nervous because the living room led directly to the balcony, making it the same escape route.

"Lina, look, this is the lock for this door. I'm going out now, and I'll come back in to cook at six o'clock. Remember to open the door for me then."

He even demonstrated how to lock the door in order to lower Lina's guard.

Then he closed the door behind him and went upstairs alone.

When he reached the platform between the first and second floors, he clearly heard hurried footsteps and a crisp sound of a lock being fastened.

Aoi Natsuki breathed a sigh of relief. This wasn't a bad thing for him. It also made him realize the difficulty of negative favorability. If A-rank was like this, what would S-rank be like?

With these questions in mind, he went into his room on the second floor.

At the same time, the system notifications for increasing Lina's favorability followed one after another.

This put his mind at ease.

……

It was six o'clock.

Aoi Natsuki came down from the second floor, but his route led straight to the door.

With a snap, the lock on the dining room door opened, and Lina leaned halfway out, casting a questioning glance at him.

He noticed and turned to reply, "Lina, I suddenly realized I forgot to buy soy sauce. I have to go out again. Wait for me to come back."

Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier, Aoi Natsuki grabbed an umbrella.

Another set of footsteps sounded.

Lina arrived at the corridor, writing something on her whiteboard with an oil-based pen, but quickly erasing it. After doing this several times, she fell into deep thought.

Aoi Natsuki was about to raise her hand, but then she remembered what had happened that afternoon and stopped moving.

She simply smiled and said slowly, "Then I'll have to leave the house to me, Tori. Good luck!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lily suddenly raised her head, looking at him with an incredulous expression in her eyes.

By then, he had already opened the door. The rain outside was loud and dense. He opened his umbrella and quickly disappeared into the courtyard.

As the front door closed, Lina's voice, granting +4 favorability, rang out.

……

After dinner.

Aoi Natsuki's series of heartwarming actions changed Rina's perception of him, and he was very happy because he saw the possibility of reversing the favorability rating.

After cleaning the shrimp shells from the braised prawns and washing the dishes, he saw Lina sitting quietly in the living room.

He stood at the door for a long time without making a sound.

After a while, he smiled again and came to the living room with a tube of ointment in his hand.

"Apply this to your hands."

Natsuki Aoi noticed the little girl's cracked fingers due to frostbite, and luckily, she had some ointment at home that could treat the condition.

He waved the long tube of ointment box in his hand.

Then it was placed on the coffee table in the living room.

They slowly retreated once again.

"You can stay at my place tonight. There's heating in the living room. I'll give you a blanket, or maybe you'd like a cute cartoon pillow?"

Natsuki Aoi tried to lighten the mood, but clearly failed, and he awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

Well, that's it. I guess I'll just have to slink away.

As he turned to leave and walked step by step toward the dining room door, he heard the sound of writing on a writing board again.

Looking back.

Lina was holding a writing board facing herself.

The two characters are clearly visible above.

"Thanks"

It was silent, yet it conveyed sincerity and warmth.

-15 favorability points, oh dear, what a pity! I'm still a little disappointed that I didn't manage to reverse the favorability today.

Aoi Natsuki then gave her a thumbs up and walked out of the dining room.

He was in an incredibly good mood, but he couldn't let his guard down, because he knew that going to school tomorrow would be the real test!

This dating game, modeled after reality, has only just begun...

……

The next day.

Aoi Natsuki got up early, intending to make breakfast for Rina, but when she opened the dining room door, nothing had moved.

Is it still locked...?

It seems I had too high an opinion of myself.

After all, it's a negative 15% favorability rating, so how could they not be on guard...?

Having run out of ideas, Aoi Natsuki could only write a note and stick it on the door, indicating that there was food in the refrigerator and that he had to go to school first.

There are snacks and other things on the living room table, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?

He then slung his backpack over his shoulder, got on his bicycle, and headed to his current high school.

Chapter 4: The First S-Class Girl Appears

The university he attended was a private school with excellent teaching resources, which means that not only did the school admit students with good character and academic performance, but also some wealthy students who paid their way in.

Throughout his ride, he endured many strange looks from those around him.

He's gradually getting used to it.

Squinting, calming myself, and facing the breeze and the cold stares of others, I soon arrived at the school gate.

The oppressive gaze intensified.

He tried to ignore it and pushed the cart to the garage.

Just as I locked the car and was about to get up and leave, a tall boy who was 1.9 meters tall appeared behind me.

He has dark skin, dribbles a basketball with his right hand, has a muscular build, and probably wears size 46 shoes.

"Yo, Natsuki, good morning."

"Good morning, why are you at school so early today?" Natsuki Aoi asked.

The tall boy in front of him was named Yusuke Oki, and he was Yusuke's classmate. The two got along well and gradually became best friends.

To be precise, he's a chatterbox, the kind of person who's naturally outgoing and friendly.

In a world where every woman hates herself, his kindness is undoubtedly a ray of light.

Thankfully, it was all women; the men weren't affected at all, otherwise it would have been a truly hellish challenge.

"Oh ho ho, to be honest, I was recently selected for the basketball team, so I have to arrive at the school gymnasium an hour early every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for special training. Wow... it's really tough."

Yusuke continued dribbling the basketball, then suddenly slammed it down with one hand and looked down at Aoi Natsuki.

How have you been these past few days?

Why do you ask that?

Yusuke squinted and leaned closer, still faintly smelling of sweat: "You know the answer already. Of course, I'm asking if your constitution, which all women hate, has improved. It's really strange. To me, Natsuki, you're nothing special, so why do girls hate you so much?"

"This……"

It's hard to explain Aoi Natsuki either.

The two walked into the teaching building together, and at the shoe-changing area, Aoi Natsuki hesitated a little.

"Guess how many there will be today?"

"Let's say eight."

"Then I'll guess ten."
