To ensure I can always access the rooftop in the future, it would be better to use my Stand ability to create a key.
"A-Chuan can pick locks?"
Kato Megumi looked at Qin Chuan with some surprise; this was something she hadn't expected at all.
Although she and Qin Chuan had chatted quite a bit these past few days, Qin Chuan had never mentioned that he had this particular skill.
"I guess I just learned it recently."
As Qin Chuan spoke, he turned to look at Goto Ichiri, who was about to secretly pretend to be a student passing by.
"Pochi, why do you look like you're trying to sneak away?"
"Ah, no, no, no, it's not..."
Goto Ichiri, who had originally intended to sneak past Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi, suddenly looked panicked and hurriedly waved his hands.
Just as Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi were standing by the courtyard discussing where to have lunch, Goto Ichiri happened to pass by with his bento box.
Clearly, Goto Ichiri also wanted to find a secluded place to have lunch, but she just happened to run into Qin Chuan and his group.
Seeing Qin Chuan chatting so enthusiastically with others, Goto Ichiri thought she could take this opportunity to sneak by.
Unexpectedly, as she walked past Qin Chuan, he still noticed her and called out to her.
"Achuan, who is this?"
Seeing Goto Ichiri react as if to a stress response after being called by Qin Chuan, Kato Megumi asked with some confusion.
"Goto Ichiri is someone I think highly of."
Qin Chuan pulled Goto Ichiri, who had her eyes tightly closed as if she were about to be executed, over and patted her head.
Hearing this, Goto Ichiri became even more nervous, and the little drama of the guitar hero slaughtering the yakuza started playing automatically in his mind again.
"You're quite optimistic about it?"
Kato Megumi showed a puzzled expression, but soon she looked at Goto Ichiri with a somewhat subtle look in her eyes.
"When did Goto and Agawa meet?"
"It's...it's this weekend."
Goto Ichiri answered Kato Megumi's question somewhat nervously, then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly bowed deeply.
He's probably imitating a gangster.
"Hello, sister-in-law! I'm Goto Ichiri! Just call me Pochi!"
"This guy is just weird, don't worry about him."
Qin Chuan saw that Kato Megumi seemed to be blushing from Goto Ichiri's address, and smiled helplessly.
It seems that having her talk with her classmates this morning didn't have any effect; she remains as socially awkward as ever.
However, Qin Chuan did not believe that it would take effect in just one morning.
To his surprise, Goto Ichiri did not seem to ignore Kato Megumi; on the contrary, he seemed to notice her presence all the time.
Perhaps it's because Goto Ichiri herself doesn't have a high profile?
However, unlike Megumi Kato, who was born with a low profile, Ichiri Goto made herself seem invisible due to social anxiety and her own efforts.
If Goto Ichiri were willing to change her behavior patterns, she could still attract attention.
As for Kato Megumi... it seems like it's something that can't be changed by later in life.
Kato Megumi was initially a little nervous because Qin Chuan suddenly called out to a girl, but when she heard Goto Ichiri suddenly call her sister-in-law, she suddenly felt that Goto Ichiri was actually a very nice person.

Kato Megumi wasn't a bad kid to begin with; she had only been subconsciously hostile towards Goto Ichiri because of a sense of crisis, but now she had let go of her hostility.
"Would Goto-kun like to come for lunch?"
As for Goto Ichiri's earlier comment, "Just call me Pochi," Kato Megumi pretended not to hear it.
Who in their right mind would call someone "Boqi"? Isn't that a dog's name? Is calling someone that a sign of bullying?
However, she subconsciously overlooked the fact that Qin Chuan had just called Goto Ichiri "Pochi".
Goto Ichiri looked at Kato Megumi, who had invited him, and paused in surprise.
In fact, if the person invited by Kato Megumi at this moment were someone with higher emotional intelligence, they would probably realize that they had disturbed Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi's private time.
High EQ: "No, I won't disturb your time together. I have something to do later."
Low emotional intelligence —
Goto Ichiri: "Ah... okay."
As someone with social anxiety, Goto Ichiri had no idea how to refuse others, so she opened her mouth and agreed.
Just like how she was directly pulled into the band by Ijichi Nijika.
……
Place your hand on the keyhole of the door lock, and out of sight of Goto Ichiri and Kato Megumi, the black liquid seeps into the keyhole and quickly solidifies into a key according to the internal structure.
Then Qin Chuan turned his hand, and with a "snap," the rooftop door opened easily.
"It's done."
"Wow, how did you do that?"
Kato Megumi seemed surprised by what she said, but her expression only changed slightly.
Meanwhile, Goto Ichiri looked at Qin Chuan's fingers with some curiosity—she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like there was something extra on Qin Chuan's fingers just now.
It seems that Qin Chuan used that thing to open the lock.
"It's probably just my imagination..."
Goto Ichiri didn't think much of it, assuming it was just his imagination.
Socially anxious individuals often have strange delusions, a fact that Ichiri Goto himself was aware of.
It would be strange to voice my own thoughts... so I'd better not.
Goto Ichiri remained as pessimistic as ever.
Chapter 105 Still Laughing While Being PUA
On the rooftop, Qin Chuan sat in the middle of the chairs, with Goto Ichiri and Kato Megumi on either side of him.
If others saw this scene, they would surely be envious and jealous of Qin Chuan's behavior of having women on both sides.
But upon closer reflection, to outsiders, Goto Ichiri was a strange girl who always kept her head down and dressed in a dowdy manner.
As for Kato Megumi... others probably wouldn't even notice her.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that even if someone saw it, Qin Chuan probably wouldn't be held a grudge.
Although both Goto Ichiri and Kato Megumi are considered high-quality beauties, they are not noticed by others for various reasons.
It seems that Qin Chuan has it all to himself.
"Does Goto play the guitar?"
During the meal, Kato Megumi also looked curiously at the guitar case next to Goto Ichiri.
Goto Ichiri was carrying a guitar on his back, which was quite conspicuous in some ways.
However, because of Goto Ichiri's peculiar social anxiety aura, not many people dared to approach her and talk to her.
Now that Qin Chuan serves as a bridge between Goto Ichiri and Kato Megumi, Kato Megumi has brought up the question.
"Yes, it is!"
Goto Ichiri was eating a rice ball when he suddenly shuddered.
Finally... finally someone asked her about the guitar!
Although the other party seems to be Qin Chuan's girlfriend, and Qin Chuan makes her feel a little scared... this can be considered as taking the first step!
This morning, although a group of classmates surrounded her and asked her all sorts of questions, the conversation was mostly about Qin Chuan, and no one mentioned her guitar.
"Would you like me to play it for you?"
When Goto Ichiri asked that question, he was still a little nervous, afraid that the other party would refuse.
Actually, when Goto Ichiri said that, there was a little bit of showing off in his mind.
After all, she is very confident in her guitar skills, and she has attracted quite a few fans by uploading her performance videos online under the account "Guitar Hero".
Perhaps even Qin Chuan will look at me with new respect after hearing my performance?
Although Goto Ichiri is still very afraid of Qin Chuan, she is somewhat concerned about this terrifying mission that is willing to take the initiative to talk to her.
This is the source of insecurity for people with social anxiety: they can have strange thoughts if they receive even a little attention from others.
The three great illusions of life don't just apply to men.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Goto-kun."
Kato Megumi was a kind-hearted person, and upon seeing this, she nodded, giving Goto face.
Upon seeing this, Goto Ichiri immediately perked up, quickly opened his guitar case, and took out his guitar.
The guitar was clearly well-maintained, but it still showed some signs of age—Qin Chuan remembered that this guitar was inherited by Goto Ichiri from his father.
With a guitar in hand, I have the world at my fingertips.
After picking up the guitar, Goto Ichiri's demeanor was noticeably different. She turned around to face Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi, who were sitting in chairs, and a confident smile appeared on her face.
Then it withered instantly.
In the moment before she was about to perform, she realized that she seemed to have no experience performing in front of others.
As a socially anxious person who is afraid to be seen by others, she usually hides in her room when she performs.
Although she had performed in front of others a few days ago after being pulled into their end band by Ijichi Nijika, she was actually playing from inside a cardboard box.
But now she was really going to perform under the watchful eyes of Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi, which made her legs go weak.
"He still has absolutely no confidence, huh?"
Qin Chuan sighed helplessly, picked up a sausage from his bento box, put it in his mouth, and said to Goto Ichiri while chewing.
“Poch, if you don’t play properly, I’m going to smash your guitar.”
"Ah Chuan, isn't it a bit inappropriate to say that?"
Kato Megumi was both amused and exasperated when she heard Qin Chuan's words, which sounded like a threat... no, they were definitely a threat.
Judging from Goto Ichiri's expression, which seemed as if she were already dead, Qin Chuan's words had only put more pressure on her.
"This is called 'no destruction, no construction'."
Qin Chuan looked at Goto Ichiri and said with a pursed lip.
"Alright, start playing now. This will also help you build confidence in front of others."
Goto Ichiri's personality makes her reaction after being bullied like this quite interesting.
In a sense, she really does seem like a pet for relieving stress—it feels like Yamada Ryo wasn't wrong to give her the nickname "Pochi".
Looks like I have another reason to keep coming to school: another pet to tease!
"I...I know."
Although his expression suggested he had just suffered a major setback, looking at Qin Chuan's serious eyes, Goto Ichiri dared not bet that he was joking.
After all, the image of a pair of gangsters bowing respectfully to Qin Chuan in the bar yesterday was still fresh in his mind.
"Then... I'll begin my performance!"
……
A few minutes later, Goto Ichiri, as if completely exhausted, slumped onto the bench and leaned against Qin Chuan.
Although she realized that her behavior seemed inappropriate, she had no strength left to get off Qin Chuan.
The performance just now was the one she felt the most pressured ever, but it was also thanks to that pressure that she was able to successfully complete her first performance in front of others.
After finishing her performance, she felt completely exhausted. As soon as she sat down in the chair, her body went limp and she leaned against Qin Chuan.
