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

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Yuji Ryuzakura was sitting in a ramen shop, eating two large bowls of ramen with gusto, while holding her phone in her right hand and chatting with her best friend about the day's events.

"Wow, that guy's pretty good."

"Haha, he's a nice junior from junior school, it's a pity he's still a high school student."

"Yeah, I didn't know any guys in college who were a good match for me. They were all too weak."

"It's not that they're weak, it's that you're too strong, Blade. It won't be easy for you to find a guy who can match you."

"Hehe, I hope I can find it. If I can't, I'll take a long-distance trip to meet you, my friend."

"Please don't! He's just an ordinary high school boy, please don't..."

……

Sunday daytime.

Natsuki Aoi was cleaning mushrooms in the kitchen, and stewed pork ribs were cooking on the stove. The sun was shining brightly today, so she not only aired out the sheets but also cleared the weeds in the lower garden and put up a safety mat for Ji-chan's doghouse.

Lina was watching an animated film called "Martin's Morning" in the living room.

"Lina, I've also made some corn chowder. Would you like some?"

“Awoo!” Lina responded, followed by a series of hurried footsteps.

Aoi Natsuki filled a small bowl for her, blew on it to cool it down, and then handed her a spoon: "Be careful, it's hot."

"Awoo!"

Lina carefully took the small bowl and slowly carried it out of the kitchen.

With the balcony windows open, sunlight streamed in, illuminating the entire living room and dining room.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang.

Upon hearing this, Aoi Natsuki immediately stopped what she was doing and jogged from the entrance to the iron gate.

open the door.

"Good morning..."

Keiko Hayakawa stood outside the door with her head slightly bowed.

"Yes, you're welcome to come to my home."

Natsuki Aoi smiled at her.

Chapter 53 What is she doing here?!

"Come in quickly, I'm cooking." Aoi Natsuki invited her in.

Keiko Hayakawa nodded blankly. This was her first time visiting Natsuki's house, and she couldn't help but look around curiously. From afar, she could see Rina standing on the balcony waving at her.

The two had met at Mito's birthday party before; I think she was Natsuki's younger sister...

Keiko Hayakawa waved to her in a friendly manner.

She dressed up specially for going out today, but in the end, it was still because of her poor taste. She wore a light brown wool coat with a wool collar, a plaid midi skirt, and a black base layer underneath. She looked very ordinary, even though she originally wanted to dress up a little more cutely.

Hayakawa pursed her lips and muttered a resentful remark in her heart.

This outfit makes her look a bit bulky, and the neckline is too big, making her look like she has no neck. Even if she's cute, it's probably just a silly kind of cute.

"Are there any dietary restrictions? I'll be careful when I cook later."

"without……"

"Okay." Just as Aoi Natsuki was about to turn around and go to the kitchen, Hayakawa behind her suddenly let out a strange cry.

When I turned my head, I saw that she was raising her right hand.

?

"Please don't put cilantro in it, okay..."

Oh, you don't like cilantro, huh?

"Okay, I understand," Natsuki Aoi said with a slight smile.

The two returned to the dining room one after the other. After Natsuki's one-on-one "guidance" last night, Lina knew her mission for today.

We must make this lady happy!

Use all the knowledge she has gained to make her happy!

Actually, regarding the previous incident, Natsuki Aoi didn't understand why Hayakawa's rank suddenly jumped from C to A. What was the trigger for this? And what were the criteria for rank evaluation?

To say it's all about looks is too superficial. While S-rank girls are certainly beautiful, there are quite a few girls with high looks in the entire region, none of whom are above A-rank.

Natsuki Aoi had no idea what the criteria were for this promotion.

The reason he chose Hayakawa was largely because Hayakawa's conviction made him feel that it would be the right choice. Normally, he would have made sure to understand everything before making any further decisions.

But if you ask him if he regrets it, his answer will definitely be no. Once you've done something, don't regret it. The moment you have that thought is the beginning of defeat.

This physical condition that makes him disliked by women also greatly affects his daily life. It's okay during his student years, but if he finds employment in the future, he will definitely be ostracized in the company. If he doesn't get along well with his colleagues, he won't be able to stand firm in any company.

Natsuki Aoi walked into the kitchen and glanced through the glass door at the two people sitting on the sofa in the living room. Seeing how harmonious they were getting along, his anxiety slowly dissipated. He was a very strong-willed person, but without these friends around him, he definitely wouldn't have made it this far.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her lips, and she continued cooking.

……

In the living room.

Keiko Hayakawa had some simple conversations with Rina. Knowing that Rina couldn't speak, she slowed down her tone and pace accordingly.

"Such a young child, it's so pitiful." Hayakawa Keiko looked at her with pity, while Rina's optimism impressed her.

"It's okay, Lina can do her own thing too. Do you want to watch TV?"

Lina shook her head, then pointed to the exercise book on the coffee table. It was a gift from Natsuki, and she used it for studying and practicing calligraphy.

Lina then sat down on the bench, opened her workbook, and saw that half a page was covered with writing. Hayakawa Keiko craned her neck to take a look and saw that the handwriting was fairly neat. Then she watched Lina continue practicing her handwriting.

She quickly discovered the problem: the child's handwriting was correct, but the stroke order was wrong. She should correct this bad habit while the child was still young.

"Let your older sister teach you. First, your writing posture must be correct. Your back should be straight like your older sister's, and you should hold the pen like this..." Hayakawa Keiko leaned forward and taught Rina step by step, starting from the most basics. She might not be used to it at first, but as time goes on, her efficiency will naturally improve.

At the same time, while teaching Lina to write, she also explained the meaning of the word. If she didn't understand, she would use examples to explain, so that even an eight-year-old child could understand.

Lina was used to being bored at home, so she was naturally overjoyed to learn something new. She quickly wrote a line on the writing board with an oil-based pen.

"Is your older sister doing well in her studies?"

"This..." Hayakawa Keiko glanced at Natsuki in the kitchen out of the corner of her eye, then leaned closer, covered her face with one hand, and whispered, "It's pretty good, isn't it?"

Lina was overjoyed and kept tugging at Hayakawa's clothes, hoping that she could teach her more knowledge.

Lina, who used to spend all her time at home watching cartoons, is now eager to receive the nourishment of education.

Seeing this, Hayakawa Keiko was overjoyed, her heart pounding. If Natsuki's sister liked her, then... then...

She was so shy that her entire mind went blank.

……

Mito Takahashi stood in front of the full-length mirror, turning back and forth to look at her outfit for the day.

She used to stay home every weekend, watching TV shows with her sister. She wasn't someone who liked going out much. But these days, she had more and more things on her mind, and... she solved a very tricky problem.

That is……

She resolved Lina's issue regarding starting primary school!

This was a big deal. Just imagining the look of surprise and delight on Aoi Natsuki's face when she told him about it made Takahashi Mito so excited that she quickened her pace.

cough cough.

Stay calm, stay calm.

For this reason, she specially changed into an outfit that she was satisfied with, and last night she even went to a beauty salon for a skin cleansing and hair treatment.

"Okay." She gave herself a mental pep talk, then put on her felt hat and went out.

They went straight to Aoi Natsuki's house.

Whenever she thought about the possible scenarios that might follow, she couldn't help but smile. Taking the subway would be faster, so when she stood in front of the subway door and couldn't help but giggle, many men's eyes followed her.

After getting off the subway, she soon arrived at the apartment complex where Natsuki Aoi lived, and finally stood in front of his house.

Just as she was about to ring the doorbell, she could see Aoi Natsuki's balcony through the gap above the iron gate.

The balcony window was open, so her gaze went directly into the living room, and the first thing she saw was a girl sitting next to Lina!

She, she, she...

Mito Takahashi was completely baffled until the other person slowly turned her head, at which point she could finally see her face clearly.

Morning, morning, morning!

How did she end up at Aoi's house?!

P.S.: I saw some comments in the previous chapters saying that my story is too slow-paced and that I'm going to pass my account on to my grandson. I'm so annoyed! I've been updating consistently. These days, even authors are struggling, and two chapters a day aren't enough for you guys. Okay, okay, I'll add an extra chapter tonight! I hope you all will continue to love me, sob sob ('-ω?`).

Chapter 54 Neither Far Nor Near

Mito Takahashi just stared blankly at it, feeling a bit desolate as the cold wind blew by.

Could it be that they had been in contact before?

Am I the one in the back?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, but knocking on the door to ask for confirmation would be awkward. What should she do...?

She glanced up at Hayakawa's warm smile in the direction of the living room; they clearly got along very well!
