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

After saying that, he turned around, used the key to open the iron gate, and walked in without looking back.

As the iron gate slammed shut, Sakurajima Anne was jolted. She stood frozen in place for a long time, until the cold wind made her cheeks red, before she finally started the car again and drove away.

Inside the house.

Aoi Natsuki was also feeling a bit depressed, but it was better to cut ties with a girl like that. He didn't want to have anything to do with someone who only treated people as experimental subjects.

However, after this incident, he also realized one thing: Sakurajima Anne could not be the Goddess. He had always thought that the two were very similar, but after today's events, he realized that there were huge differences in their beliefs. Therefore, the real Goddess was someone else.

Who could it be...?

Chapter 71: Favorability breaks 0

……

"Retreat?!"

"Yes, I'm leaving the club." Aoi Natsuki had thought it through clearly; she was determined to make a clean break and didn't want to have anything to do with Sakurajima anymore.

"Please tell Sakurajima that if she needs a written resignation letter, I can write it for her. That's all."

Natsuki Aoi bid farewell to Takahashi and Hayakawa at the entrance of the corridor.

The two who remained were clearly unaware of what had happened.

After exchanging a glance, they decisively went to find Anne Sakurajima.

In her spare time, she often stays alone in the activity room, fiddling with her little gadgets.

……

Sakurajima!

Mito Takahashi shouted her name and pushed open the door to the activity room.

The two went inside together, but when they looked around, the entire activity room was empty.

She doesn't seem to be here.

“Mitu, she hasn’t replied to my messages. Should we look for her somewhere else?” Hayakawa asked, holding his phone.

"Wait a minute." Takahashi Mitsu suddenly raised her hand, glancing at the window hidden by the curtains. The curtains swayed gently back and forth. She then went to check and, sure enough, the window was open, which meant...

She looked around carefully and finally came to a terrifying coffin that had been converted from a cleaning cabinet, and reached out to open the door.

Sakurajima Anne stood upright inside.

“You…” Takahashi Mito put her hands on her hips, her brows slightly furrowed, “Get out here right now! I have something to ask you.”

"etc……"

"Huh? Is there anything else you want to say?"

"No, no..." Sakurajima An slowly raised her head, pursed her lips, and her legs trembled uncontrollably.

At this moment, Mito Takahashi also noticed something amiss: "You wouldn't happen to be..."

"Sorry... my leg is numb..."

……

After a two-minute massage, Sakurajima Anne's condition improved. Then, Takahashi Mito got back to the main topic and asked Aoi why he was acting so strangely today. Everyone knew what kind of person Aoi was, so it was no surprise that it was related to Sakurajima.

"No...it's just...a little disagreement." Sakurajima An had a faint smile on her face, seemingly unconcerned.

“I think things are quite serious. Perhaps you could tell us what happened so we can help you,” Hayakawa said.

"No, it's nothing."

"Now that Aoi is about to leave the department, you're still saying it's nothing? This is a serious matter, okay? If there really is a conflict, whoever is at fault should apologize themselves!"

"What are you two doing? You both look so nervous. What Aoi is thinking is his own decision, what does it have to do with me? Please don't bother me here, okay?" Sakurajima An's familiar smile was on her face.

Mito Takahashi couldn't even believe what she was hearing. In that instant, her anger surged. She was always the type to respond to gentle persuasion but not force.

"If that's your attitude, then I have nothing more to say to you! Great, I really think Aoi leaving the club was a good decision. Let whoever wants to stay in this club continue! I'm never coming back!"

Mito Takahashi flung her hand away, turned around, and strode out of the classroom. Keiko Hayakawa glanced at the two of them and quickly followed Mito's steps.

And so, Sakurajima was left with only one person again.

But it's okay, she's used to being alone.

That's fine.

She gazed at the half-finished bronze demon statue on the table and continued working on her task for the day.

Are you lonely?

No.

There are no partners or anything like that.

But, but why...

Anne Sakurajima held the small polisher, hesitating to start.

After a while, she put down the sander and reached into the drawer next to her.

With a soft "doo-doo-doo" sound.

An uneven potato rolled out.

The scene might be somewhat comical, but Anne Sakurajima's gaze lingered on the potato for a long time.

Believe it or not, this is the only gift she has ever received from a boy since junior high school.

After all... she's an "ugly woman".

Humans are visual creatures; they feel pity for those who are beautiful, but there must be far more people who are clearly ugly and pitiful.

That's why she kept pretending to be ugly; she wanted to prove one thing: no one would stand up for a girl who was withdrawn and ugly.

Even though everything is still proving this, why do I feel so incredibly sad?

Is it because of Aoi?

Natsuki Aoi is indeed a very interesting person. If neither of them brings this up, can they still maintain this friendship?

friend?

Did the word "friend" just flash through my mind?

I have never truly made any friends. Can the friends I subconsciously consider truly be called friends?

Do I, someone like myself, really deserve to have friends?

He uses others for personal gain, makes malicious speculations, holds extreme views, has bizarre tastes, and continues to say hurtful things even now.

Ahhh.

Terrible, absolutely terrible.

Sakurajima Anne's eyes became lifeless as she stared at the ceiling.

Anne Sakurajima...

You might as well just die.

This thought only flashed through my mind for a moment before being immediately forgotten.

Although she often makes pronouncements about life and death and acts quite unconventionally, when it comes to truly facing death...

Sorry,

She didn't dare.

She feared death just like everyone else.

She was just an ordinary high school girl with some mental issues.

even……

It's not mysterious at all.

……

Natsuki Aoi and Yusuke were having lunch in the cafeteria. The set meals here were always the same, and the two of them were getting tired of them.

Maybe I should start making my own bento boxes from tomorrow.

Currently, Aoi takes Rina to school every day. Last week, she accompanied Rina to school for three days. Fortunately, the school teachers are very responsible. After class, Rina quickly made several female friends. The way she communicates with them using a writing board is really interesting. Many children gathered around her and asked her questions curiously, which made Aoi feel relieved.

It seems that bullying is unlikely to occur in such a young age group, but he cannot let his guard down. He asks Lina about her school situation every day. Children's feelings are hard to hide, and he can get them out in just a few questions.

He took on the responsibility of raising Lina, hoping she could grow up healthy and strong.

Are you chatting with your younger sister right now?

"Yes, because of her special circumstances, she's allowed to bring her phone to school. I'll check on her at lunchtime too." Aoi Natsuki smiled, showing Yusuke the photos Rina had sent.

"Look, Lina took a picture of the little sausages that someone shared with her. Look, look, isn't that sweet?"

Aoi Natsuki truly viewed these messages with the heart of a father, and a smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

"Mo, I really can't do anything with you, I'm so envious~"

"Favorability +5"

"Favorability +5"

"Favorability +5"

……

The frequent appearance of favorability values ​​left Aoi Natsuki stunned. This sudden increase in favorability, and at the highest limit at that, who exactly is this favorability value?

Aoi Natsuki opened the system panel with a puzzled look. When he saw who it was, his expression was one of surprise, but as time went by, a helpless smile slowly appeared on his lips.

"Sakurajima An, S-rank, Affection level: 35."
