Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

"that……"

"You're going to have lunch with that guy? Why don't you just say so?"

"Yes... I'm sorry."

Hearing Yuihama apologize again, Miura Yumiko felt both angry and helpless. Just as she was about to say something more, she was interrupted by another voice.

"It's more accurate to say that it's precisely because of Miura's attitude that Yuihama doesn't dare to speak her mind directly."

"Huh? I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, who are you again?" Miura Yumiko raised her eyebrows and asked Lin Qianshu in an unfriendly tone.

"They're just insignificant classmates. Can you guys keep your voices down a bit? Arguing during lunch is really disgusting. Haven't you noticed that there are fewer and fewer people in the class? I don't want to hear any strange rumors from other classes tomorrow."

Lin Qianshu pointed to the crowd of onlookers who were gradually gathering outside the classroom because they heard the argument, and calmly spoke to Miura Yumiko.

Seeing that Miura Yumiko didn't continue speaking, Lin Qianshu looked at Yuihama and said, "Hurry up and go, or Yukino will scold you if you're late."

"I would never do something so tasteless."

Outside the door, a beautiful figure stepped over the threshold of the classroom, her cool gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Yui.

"Let's go, Yuihama-san. You invited me but then stood me up. Don't you think that's wrong? If you're going to be late, you should at least let the other person know."

"I'm sorry. But I don't know Yukino's phone number..."

"Is that so? Then it can't all be blamed on you. Let's just let this matter go."

Yukinoshita ignored Miura and instead raised an eyebrow at Hayashi Chiki, meaning: See, I'm not as unreasonable as some people.

Lin Qianshu did not reply, but responded with a smile.

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately realized a problem: could this guy have known all along that he was outside and that's why he said that?

Yumiko Miura snapped out of her daze and immediately protested.

"Wait, wait a minute! We haven't finished talking yet!" The Fire Queen looked extremely angry, the flames in her eyes seeming to evaporate the ice and snow completely.

"Is there something you need? I don't have time to talk to you. I haven't even had lunch yet." Yukinoshita raised her smooth wrist to check the time, completely ignoring Miura Yumiko.

"It was you and that other person who suddenly came over and messed things up, saying things that didn't make sense. I was talking to Yui!"

“Speak? All I saw was a hysterical outburst, unilaterally forcing the other person to accept their opinion without considering the other person’s feelings at all. As for that person, you can ask them yourself if you know their name.”

"what?"

Yumiko Miura was completely engulfed in flames, looking like she wanted to explode with Yukinoshita.

"I apologize, it was my oversight. Because I was unfamiliar with your habits, I naturally assumed that it was an ape threatening you."

"Well!!!"

At this point in the verbal sparring, everyone present could see that Miura was no match for Yukinoshita. He could only respond with "ha" and "uh," unable to mount any effective counterattack and simply taking the insults.

It seems even the fiery queen couldn't escape being frozen by the snow.

Chapter 25 Under the Snow You Are My God!

Seeing that the situation was not good, the defeated Miura Yumiko plopped back into her chair, pinched her golden curly hair, and angrily started playing with her phone.

To be honest, just from this point of view, she and Lin Qianshu might actually have a lot in common.

"Okay, everyone, calm down first."

Ye Shan, the kind-hearted core member of the "normie group" who had been observing for a long time, stepped forward to smooth things over, a gentle smile on his face, trying his best to maintain order at the scene.

Unfortunately, Yukinoshita ignored him, only giving him a cold glance before saying to Yuihama, "I'm going now."

Hayama smiled somewhat awkwardly, but didn't take it to heart, because Yukinoshita had basically treated him this way ever since that incident.

As for Miura Yumiko, seeing Hayama offer her a way out, she snorted softly and said nothing more, as if she was giving Hayama face by not arguing with Yukinoshita.

Yuihama hesitated for a moment, then finally said to Yumiko, "I...I'm going too..."

“…Whatever you like.” Miura Yumiko didn’t stop her, she just said it casually.

Actually, she had no intention of stopping them; she was just annoyed by Yuihama's timid and submissive manner.

Even if Yui had lunch with Yukinoshita, so what? Miura Yumiko didn't think there was anything wrong with the matter itself; the key issue was Yui's evasive attitude.

Aren't they friends? Why can't they just say what they mean?

It's always like this, making it seem like she's bullying Yui!

Yumiko grew angrier the more she thought about it, and even the atmosphere at the "normie group" seemed to drop a bit.

Yuihama and Yukinoshita went out, and the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed. The classroom returned to its usual order. Lin Chiki didn't plan to go back to her seat, so she simply pulled up a chair and sat down next to Hachiman to have lunch with this lonely patient.

While outwardly playing on her phone, Miura Yumiko, who had been secretly observing Lin Qianshu, suddenly spoke up:

"Hey, what's your name?"

"H-Hikigaya."

"No, I'm asking the person next to you."

Hachiman cannot rise again.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before someone else's name?"

"Tsk, my name is Miura Yumiko." Miura Yumiko clicked her tongue in annoyance and reluctantly gave her name.

"Yes, my name is Lin Qianshu. It's nice to meet you, Miura-san." Lin Qianshu smiled kindly at Miura Yumiko.

Seeing this, Miura Yumiko was not happy at all; on the contrary, she seemed even more annoyed. However, out of politeness, she had no choice but to reply, "N-Nice to meet you."

Seeing this, Lin Qianshu didn't care. Compared to Miura Yumiko, Lin Qianshu was more concerned about Hayama Hayato, who was next to Miura Yumiko.

The reason was simple: he discovered that this nice guy seemed to know Yukinoshita and that he had done something to wrong her in the past.

Lin Qianshu made a simple deduction: Yukino Yukinoshita's current personality is probably inseparable from Hayato Hayama.

After all, there's a saying that goes something like this: sometimes the one who hurts you the most is your friend, not your enemy.

Perhaps Hayato Hayama will become the key for him to unlock Yukinoshita's Golden Request?

After school, Yui Yuigahama met with Yumiko Miura again and had a heart-to-heart talk with her. As a result, the two reached a reconciliation.

Hikigaya, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, was completely relieved. Just as he was about to head to the Service Department, he turned around and saw Lin Qianshu looking at him with a mysterious smile, which startled him so much that he almost peed himself.

"What are you doing?" Perhaps because he was startled, or perhaps because of the mysterious smile on Lin Qianshu's face, Hachiman's attitude was very unfriendly.

"Are you relieved now?"

"What do you mean by 'don't worry' or 'don't worry'? I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Hachiman... being a tsundere or something, actually requires a lot of modeling skills."

Hikigaya's expression stiffened upon hearing this; how could he not understand the meaning behind Lin Qianshu's words?

"Long-winded!"

"Well, actually, Miura-kun isn't as bad as you think, or rather, none of the people in the class are as bad as you think."

"You're pretty mean," Hachiman retorted.

"If I were bad, you wouldn't say that." Lin Qianshu didn't care about Hachiman's slander.

Hachiman did not refute this, and it seemed that he had indeed made a mistake this time.

"Hachiman, let bygones be bygones. You have to look forward." Lin Qianshu patted Hachiman's shoulder meaningfully.

"Easy for you to say... Wait, how do you know about my junior high school days?" Hachiman's expression changed, and he looked at Lin Chishu with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"It's a secret. Alright, I'm leaving now." Lin Qianshu waved his hand.

Watching Lin Qianshu's figure disappear around the corner, Hikigaya muttered "strange guy" before heading to the Service Club.

However, just as she took a step, she heard the sound of the classroom door being pulled open behind her.

"Huh? Aqi, what are you doing here?"

Hachiman's body stiffened slightly. He turned his head mechanically, forced a smile, and raised his right hand, saying, "Y-ya-ha-lou?"

Yuihama has issued a red temperature warning.

"What did you hear?"

"What did you hear...?"

"You were eavesdropping! Disgusting! Stalker! Pervert! You, you... Hachiman! I can't believe it, so disgusting, utterly disgusting!"

"Hey, that's going a bit too far. What do you mean, 'You Hachiman'?" Hachiman felt that even with his good temper, being insulted to this extent would make him angry.

"Sigh!" Yui stuck out her little pink tongue and ran off into the distance, skipping over Hachiman.

At the corner, Yui suddenly stopped and, with her back to Hachiman, said, "Well... thank you for standing up for me today."

Without waiting for Hachiman's reply, he disappeared around the corner, leaving Hachiman alone in a daze.

Wish Points +1

Lin Qianshu, who had already arrived at the Service Department, received a notification from the system, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. Frog Fun, free wish points!

"Yukino, please give me your blessing."

Yukinoshita:?

After a moment's hesitation, Yukinoshita said, "I wish you good health?"

Without saying a word, Lin Qianshu immediately gambled away all the wish points he had just acquired.

Congratulations on acquiring the ability: Photographic Memory

Did you withdraw your funds?

Lin Qianshu was still a bit dazed. He had thought that this time he would only get points in spirit or physique, but he didn't expect that he would get a power boost directly.

Is this the power of a blessing under the snow?

I should have asked her for the first few!

"Yukino, you are my god!"

"What the hell are you saying all of a sudden?!"

Chapter 26 Hey, you actually said that?!

"Ah hello~"

Yuihama happily opened the door, only to find the atmosphere in the classroom a little strange, the most eye-catching thing being Yukinoshita's blushing face.

what's the situation?

Yuihama's gaze shifted back and forth between Hayashi Chiki and Yukinoshita. Could it be... if that's the case, did she come at the wrong time?

"Hey there~ Yuihama-san." After admiring the limited edition of Yukinoshita no Kosuke, Lin Chishu greeted Yuihama as if nothing had happened.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm herself down, Yukino Yukinoshita regained her composure. Although she didn't know why Chiki Hayashi had said such a shocking thing, it was obviously not appropriate to talk about it now that there were other people in the classroom.

"Good afternoon, Yuihama-san." As she said this, the blush on Yukinoshita's pretty face had mostly faded, leaving only the tips of her ears slightly pink.

Although Yuihama's heart was filled with curiosity at this moment, she knew Yukinoshita's personality very well, and knew that even if she asked, she probably wouldn't get an answer.

However, Yuihama did not intend to give up. Since she couldn't ask directly, she thought it would be okay to ask indirectly.

Moreover, there's still a long road ahead. As long as everyone remains in the Service Club, there will always be a day when their true colors are revealed. Yuihama is full of anticipation for this.

"Um... thank you for speaking up for me today, Lin Qianshu." Yuihama expressed her gratitude to Lin Qianshu in the same way as everyone else.

If Lin Qianshu hadn't stood up for her, she wouldn't know how to tell Youmeiko the truth on her own.

After all, the effect of an outsider saying something is completely different from the effect of saying it yourself.

Otherwise, how could there be a saying like "a monk from afar is better at chanting scriptures"?

"You're welcome. Since it's 'also,' it seems Yuihama-san has also thanked that guy Hikigaya?" Lin Chishu said with a slightly sarcastic expression.

Seeing Hayashi Chiki's expression, Yuihama immediately knew what he was thinking and blushed, saying, "It's not what you think!"

Yukinoshita, standing to the side, blinked in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What is he thinking?"

"Yukinoshita-kun, you should know that being a hero and rescuing a damsel in distress is a huge plus in relationships. Hachiman was quite brave this afternoon."

“I see… I didn’t expect Hachiman to have this side to him. His overestimation of his abilities does fit my impression of him.” Yukinoshita said calmly, stroking her chin.
