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

"Hey, why are we walking so carefully? We're not here to do anything bad."

"Shhh."

"What are you looking at?"

"No, just browsing."

"Just browsing, what is it?"

Yusuke complained.

Natsuki Aoi stood at the front door of Class 2 and looked inside.

The target was quickly identified.

We've met a few times before.

Sakurajima Anne's usual disguise...

Wearing high-powered glasses, with a protruding jaw and a tacky braid on her head, she sat quietly in the middle of the classroom, reading a book.

The students around them were chatting and laughing about various topics, forming small groups.

But when she got to her, it was as if she were isolated from the world. Several times, girls passed by her, and Aoi Natsuki thought she was going to have a word with her, but they just brushed past each other and started chatting with the girls in front of her.

"Oh... what a pitiful girl."

"Do you know who I'm looking at?"

"How could you not tell? Of course it's that girl with the braided hair. She's the one with the most unique aura in the whole class. By the way, who is she? Aoi, why are you so concerned about her?"

"I wouldn't say I care. She's just a little girl who likes to talk to herself." Aoi Natsuki put her hands in her pockets, turned around, and walked back.

"Hey! Now that you mention it, I'm even more concerned. What exactly did she do?"

"No, no, and besides, you've seen her before, haven't you?"

"I've seen him before?"

"Sakurajima of the Exploration Club."

"Eh!!!"

……

It was sunny on March 12.

Today's exploration club activity was still only attended by Sakurajima Anne. Because she was alone, she could do things more quietly and peacefully.

but……

She was in a terrible mood today, so bad that she couldn't sit still and concentrate on anything.

So she walked out of the activity room and unknowingly ended up on the playground.

In the third period of the afternoon, many classes are physical education classes, or sports clubs are out exercising, so there are still a lot of people coming and going.

She wandered aimlessly around the outer circle of the playground.

bang——

A boy bumped into her shoulder from behind, and Sakurajima Anne fell forward to the ground without any warning.

But the boy showed no intention of apologizing at all. Instead, he smiled at the male classmate next to him and said, "Get out of the way, you ugly girl!"

Oh, I forgot, I'm also an "ugly girl".

Sakurajima Anne's physical condition is worse than that of the average girl. She prefers to stay in a small place all year round, tinkering with her strange and supernatural gadgets and rarely exercises, so her physical fitness is very poor. The reason why she has a good figure is largely due to genetic inheritance, which is unavoidable.

Sakurajima Anne didn't react at all. She had disguised herself like this to verify this fact, and she was already used to this kind of thing.

"You guys! You bumped into someone and you're just going to drive away?! Apologize to me, do you hear me?!"

"And who are you?!"

"Hiss... She, she's Takahashi Mito from Class 1! We can't afford to mess with her!"

The boy's whispered message was clearly heard by Sakurajima An, who had fallen to the ground.

She looked up in surprise and saw Takahashi Mito standing with her hands on her hips, facing the group of boys with a furious expression.

Because of Takahashi Mito's family background, many students knew they couldn't afford to offend her and tried to keep their distance from her. In addition, she had a naturally fiery temper and couldn't stand being talked about behind her back, so in the end, no one dared to gossip about her anymore.

"Are you OK?"

Hayakawa Keiko, who was standing nearby, also ran over to help Sakurajima Anne up, her tone full of concern.

Anne Sakurajima nodded slightly, her attention returning to the current situation.

"This is troublesome, let's go!"

"Do you really think you can just walk away like this! If you don't apologize, I'll definitely make sure you get a major demerit from the school! Don't think I'm joking!" Takahashi Mito's arrogant tone was full of firepower, and her aura directly intimidated the boys, who immediately stopped in their tracks. They looked at each other and recalled all the things that had happened before. There was nothing they could do, although they were very unwilling, but they could only slink back and apologize.

"I'm sorry! It was my fault for bumping into you. Please forgive me!"

The boy who had been shouting bowed deeply to Anne Sakurajima.

"Ah."

As Sakurajima Anne responded, the boy's face lit up with joy. He then glanced tentatively at Takahashi Mito, until she made a disgusted tsk-like sound. Immediately, he led the group of boys beside him and hurriedly ran out of the playground.

"Tch, a bunch of rotten people."

Mito Takahashi let out a long breath and slowly walked up to Anne Sakurajima: "Are you alright?"

"Hmm..." Sakurajima Anne looked at the two people who had helped her, feeling a little heavy-hearted. "Thank you, I should go now."

"Where are we going? Isn't it club activity time?"

"Huh?"

Sakurajima Anne turned around in surprise.

She never expected Takahashi to say such a thing to her. Before, before...

"Are you... still willing to continue participating in the Explorers Club...?"

Takahashi Mito's cheeks flushed slightly after hearing this, and she reached out and rubbed her cheeks: "Well, there's nothing we can do about it."

At this point, Keiko Hayakawa stepped forward and explained the reason.

“It was Natsuki who specifically came to us, saying he hoped we would continue to participate in the Exploration Club. He begged Mido for a long time before Mido finally agreed. So Sakurajima, we can’t do this again.”

“I beg you…” Anne Sakurajima’s gaze began to wander, “But what about Aoi himself?”

"Of course he's not coming back."

Mito Takahashi crossed her arms, her attitude still somewhat unfriendly: "He told me personally that he won't come back until someone admits their mistake to his face, so hurry up and go apologize to Aoi! Don't be childish this time!"

This was clearly an attempt to give her a way out.

Anne Sakurajima was utterly shocked.

Would Aoi still be willing to do so much for me...?

Even if I'm using him as an experimental tool?

Clearly, she couldn't have imagined that Aoi could know her current situation through the favorability system.

"Um... okay." She nodded. "I'll go apologize to Aoi."

Hayakawa and Takahashi smiled; if that were the case, it was undoubtedly what they wanted to see.

I'm worried that she'll still be as stubborn as before.

"Remember to apologize properly! Don't just brush it off!"

"Apologize properly," she murmured, her gaze returning to the two of them. "Do you know where he is now?"

“Yes! Natsuki said if you want to apologize, you can go to the classroom to find him! They have free time this period, he should still be in the classroom now, let’s go over there now!” Hayakawa said, clenching his fist.

The three of them quickly arrived at the back door of Class 3, Grade 1. Looking inside, they saw Aoi Natsuki sitting in her seat, waiting.

When Aoi Natsuki saw the three of them, she wasn't surprised.

After all, the favorability system doesn't lie.

"Natsuki!" Hayakawa winked repeatedly, as if afraid he wouldn't know.

Aoi Natsuki also stood up from her seat and said calmly, "So, you're already planning to apologize?"

Sakurajima Anne kept her head down, but when she heard his words, she trembled involuntarily. Finally, she slowly raised her head, and when she looked up, Aoi Natsuki was surprised to find that her eyes were red and filled with tears.

"Um... I want to apologize."

Aoi Natsuki was stunned for a moment. Why did her voice still sound like she was about to cry?

In this state, she...

I originally wanted it to end in a light and cheerful way, but unexpectedly it suddenly turned sad.

Seeing this, the two girls beside her immediately stepped forward. Hayakawa reached out and patted her on the back, while Takahashi also looked at her with heartache.

Sure enough, no matter how eccentric she is on a daily basis, she's still a little girl who cries easily.

"Yes, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry for everything, so please, please forgive me..."

The sobbing in his voice became even more pronounced.

Ok……

Aoi Natsuki was also shocked.

But just as he was about to set off, he suddenly noticed something very strange, and he immediately stopped.

Logically speaking, since the other person is crying so hard, their emotions must have reached their peak, and they must feel remorse towards me. At this point, their affection for me should be increasing.

But now, Sakurajima An is...

There was absolutely no notification sound indicating an increase in favorability!

Aoi Natsuki stared wide-eyed, when suddenly a new idea popped into her head.

You idiot! Are you acting?!

He immediately gasped, his initial enthusiasm instantly turning cold.

This guy really needs to be watched closely at all times.
