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

Then there are Mito Takahashi and Anne Sakurajima, both of whom ranked outside the top 200, which is definitely at the bottom level.

With the help of the whiteboard, Hayakawa Keiko also explained some common mistakes in certain question types to the group.

Hmm? Why has the art style suddenly become so positive and uplifting?

However, during the answering process, it was basically only Aoi Natsuki asking questions, while the two girls next to her were looking at the whiteboard with only a vague understanding.

After a while, Natsuki Aoi got up and walked to the whiteboard, where she picked up a marker and started actively discussing things with Hayakawa.

This made the other two seem even less involved.

“Boring.” Sakurajima Anne slowly closed her eyes, resting her chin on the table as she said helplessly.

Meanwhile, Takahashi Mito stared at the two people chatting animatedly in front of the whiteboard with a displeased expression. She felt extremely frustrated because she couldn't join in the conversation at all!

I'm trying so hard to understand, but I can't keep up at all!

……

Keiko Hayakawa's face flushed slightly, and she would occasionally steal glances at the boy in front of her who was seriously working on his problem. Looking at his profile, even her breathing became a little hot.

Chapter 46 Are you free to meet up next week?

"What's wrong?" Natsuki Aoi noticed that something was wrong with her and asked.

Hayakawa realized what was happening and immediately waved his hands frantically, "No, it's nothing... let's continue with the problems."

The two then turned their attention back to the question.

The monthly exam is in two days, and there will be a two-and-a-half-day exam period. Most students will be in high spirits to face this monthly exam, so they should focus more on their review.

While Hayakawa Keiko and Natsuki were discussing the question types, they quickly noticed that Mito's expression was somewhat unusual, so they went over and pulled her to join them.

There used to be a widely accepted method of reviewing: teaching others the material yourself, which was considered far more effective than studying by yourself.

Aoi Natsuki moved aside and watched Hayakawa explain in detail. Next to her, Takahashi Mito, who had initially not quite understood, gradually began to have a gleaming light in her eyes.

“Sakurajima,” Natsuki Aoi called out her name.

"Huh?" Sakurajima An looked up, looking bored.

"Come and learn too, I'll teach you from now on." Perhaps influenced by Hayakawa, Aoi Natsuki also decided to bring Sakurajima along.

However, Anne Sakurajima had no interest in studying and was about to refuse when she was threatened by Natsuki Aoi with the reason of quitting the company.

This……

Idealism was ultimately defeated by the spirit of materialism. Even if you believe in ghosts and monsters, you still have to live in this real world under my hoe and sickle.

With no other option, Sakurajima Anne had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring up her worksheets to listen to Aoi Natsuki explain the problems.

The four of them had a great time today and enjoyed a very meaningful club activity.

……

Keiko Hayakawa is a homebody in her daily life.

Whether it's after school during the week or on the weekend, she spends a lot of time watching anime series after finishing her studies. She also checks online to see if any figurines or models are on sale. In addition, she bought a PS4 more than a year ago and plays some hardcore Souls series games.

She used to have only one friend, Mito Takahashi, so she cherished this friend very much. Even when Mito got angry at her, she would just laugh it off.

Now, she has many friends.

Because of her timid personality and lack of aesthetic sense, she had a very bad overall aura. When I first met Natsuki, she even wore the same socks for two or three days. Because she liked to roll up her socks little by little until they became a pancake shape, her black stockings were often loose and baggy.

No one would like a girl like her.

No guy would like a girl who loves playing PS4 and owns more than fifty discs.

Everything is changing now, but Keiko Hayakawa's love for video games remains unchanged. On the weekend, she put on a mask and sunglasses, wore her dark brown trench coat, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and headed out to the game store.

She hadn't told anyone about her love of video games, not even Mei knew much about it. She didn't want to project an image of a game-loving otaku in front of her friends, so she would sneak over to pick out some new discs.

She lowered her head slightly. There weren't many customers in the store today. She walked to the second shelf, where a familiar row of game discs appeared. Excitedly, she took two discs and carefully read the plot summaries.

It feels so good to have my own little world.

Half a minute later, she put down the plate, eager to move forward, but as soon as she turned her head, her arm hit a boy next to her. Startled, she quickly bowed and apologized, "I'm so sorry!"

"That voice..."

The boy spoke, and it was a very familiar voice.

Keiko Hayakawa slowly raised her head and found that the person standing in front of her was Natsuki Aoi!

Ah, ah, ah...

She murmured inwardly, her voice trembling with shock.

Aoi Natsuki also got a clear look at the girl in front of him, her figure and tone of voice... After staring at her for a while, until the four words "Hayakawa Keiko" appeared above her head, he finally confirmed it.

"Hayakawa, what a coincidence to run into you here."

I've been recognized!

Keiko Hayakawa was panicking. The person she least wanted to know this secret was Natsuki. What should she do? What should she do?!

She fell silent, slowly and nervously lowering her head. After a long while, she finally answered tremblingly, "Oh... what a coincidence... I, I... I just came in out of curiosity..."

Aoi Natsuki immediately saw through her lie. After thinking about it carefully, he understood her actions. To dispel her concerns, he slowly took a game disc from the shelf and said, "Oh, that's a pity. I thought someone would like playing console games like me."

"Natsuki, do you also like the Soul Fighting series?" Hayakawa Keiko asked cautiously, her eyes sparkling.

"I wouldn't call it playing, but I've watched videos of people playing some of Miyazaki Hidetaka's games online, and they're quite interesting. The main reason I can't play them is because I'm not good at them. I really admire those who can beat Sekiro or Bloodborne."

"Don't you think playing video games is really low-class...?"

"How could that be? Every player is creating one game possibility after another. I don't think doing anything else is particularly cool, nor do I think playing games is low. As long as it can bring people relaxation and happiness in their leisure time, it is the best option."

"Favorability +3"

Natsuki Aoi also shared her thoughts, saying that in her past life she spent a summer playing games with her roommate. Although the process was tough, it undoubtedly brought her a lot of joy.

Keiko Hayakawa looked at Natsuki Aoi with surprise, then gave a soft "Mmm," took a CD from the shelf, shyly held it out to him, and said, "Please, if you can, please try this game! Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, I personally think it's a pretty good game!"

"Oh, okay." Aoi Natsuki took the game disc. He could tell that Hayakawa was very happy at this moment, and he had done a good job of nipping any bad things in the bud.

Keiko Hayakawa's face was burning. Perhaps she had foreseen this outcome. Yes... Natsuki had always been such a gentle person. He just didn't like to show off this seemingly unpopular hobby. In fact, he didn't care about these things at all.

At that moment, a new idea suddenly popped into her mind.

Aoi Natsuki looked at the game disc in his hand with great interest. He had actually come here today to find some classic visual novels to play, but he unexpectedly ran into Hayakawa. What a coincidence!

"Natsuki!"

"Huh?" He looked up when he heard the other person call his name.

Hayakawa Keiko slowly removed her sunglasses with both hands, her dark green pupils cautiously observing him, and said, "Next, next week..."

Do you have time to go to the Light Festival together?

Chapter 47 Become my hope!

……

On the other side of the screen.

Mito Takahashi was sitting in the living room watching TV with Ayano. Occasionally, the remote control in her hand would pause in mid-air, and her gaze would become vacant. After a while, she would realize that she had been staring at the commercials for so long.

Meanwhile, Ayano Takahashi was leisurely leaning against the sofa, sitting cross-legged with her bare feet. Potato chips were placed on the coffee table to her left, and she was reading "A Brief History of Time" in her right hand.

After listening to the advertisement on TV for half a minute, she also looked up from her book and stared blankly at her sister.

"elder sister?"

There was no response.

"elder sister!"

Ayano suddenly sat up.

This time, Takahashi Mito finally came to her senses, staring straight at Ayano: "Huh?"

"What? You've been spacing out all day. What are you thinking about?"

"No, it's nothing," Takahashi Mito said, flicking her hair and shaking her head.

Ayano looked at her suspiciously; she didn't believe her at all. After being sisters for over ten years, she knew Ayano's true nature well.

"Tell me the truth, is it related to that boy?"

Mito Takahashi's body jolted, and as if by reflex, she shouted, "What are you saying?!"

The sudden high decibel startled Ayano, causing the Brief History of Time in her hand to fall to the ground.

"Why are you shouting so loudly!" Ayano pouted in dissatisfaction, then turned away from the sofa with a disgruntled expression and went upstairs to the second floor without looking back.

Mito Takahashi realized she had been too sensitive. She was just about to apologize to her sister when the other girl had already run upstairs. Well, well, she'd treat her to a nice meal tonight to make it up to her.

She sighed, feeling a tightness in her chest, but even with the best reason, it really shouldn't affect her family.

She felt a little regretful.

Then he turned off the TV.

Just then, her gaze fell upon the book "A Brief History of Time" lying on the ground.

Having not noticed the title, she initially thought it was a comic book, since Ayano often enjoyed reading interesting comic books. However, upon opening it, she found it was full of text, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

When did Ayano start liking this kind of book...?

……

Keiko Hayakawa extended an invitation to Natsuki Aoi.

But Natsuki Aoi was stunned.

In his memory, events like fireworks festivals are often attended by families or couples. Even male and female classmates together are often mistaken for couples.

On both sides of the river, there are many stalls offering everything from food to entertainment. Red ribbons are hung on the branches of every tree on the bank, and paper boats with candles float on the river, symbolizing the passing of bad luck for the year.

But the real excitement begins after 10 p.m., when fireworks will be launched from a specific direction. In the eyes of the Japanese, the romance of fireworks is hard to match with anything else, and the vibrant flowers are even more able to stir the hearts of everyone present.
