The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

After a quick glance around the class, he noticed that several small groups had already formed. Now, only a few people scattered around the classroom were still alone. You can be without friends, but you can't be alone. This was the iron rule taught to him by his previous life's school life.

However, most people will choose to embrace the collective, become the "majority", and even turn from victims of school violence into perpetrators. But Ping Xin says to them, "qnmd, come and fight if you have the guts!"

Although his school experiences, past and present, couldn't compare to the easy and joyful campus life of most people, the hard times, while constantly bringing him painful memories, also honed his unyielding spirit. Perhaps not as grand as "determination" or "enlightenment," but his rebellious and fighting spirit that had gotten him to where he was today made him no one to be trifled with.

"...Sayunara. Swoosh——"

Pingxin closed the door with all his strength, successfully attracting the attention of the students in the classroom.

"Who is that? Do you know him?"

"Who knows? Maybe I went to the wrong class. After all, today is the first day of school."

"You know, a few days ago..."

Even the girls who loved gossip the most didn't care. After all, Ping Xin was just "ordinary-looking" and dressed in ordinary clothes. There was nothing inside or outside that could arouse their interest.

The three people who had just been so daunted by Hirayobu also started a small discussion.

*It is well known that the longer and faster the foundation is laid, the better the stepping stone will be.

"Hara Rin, Akane, did you see that boy just now? He seemed to glance at me just now!"

A girl with long hair covering her eyes said.

"...It must be an illusion." said the brown-skinned girl next to the girl with a single blindfold.

"After all, Asuna is very beautiful, and the boys in the classroom are always stealing glances at you~" said the only girl wearing glasses among the three.

"...Really? Well, never mind~ We should go play there after school today!"

"Asuina, this is the first day of school—"

The corridor outside the classroom wasn't as busy as the one inside. After all, Ping Xin had been eating since around 11: AM until the end of his lunch break. By then, the students had mostly finished their laughter and returned to their classes, awaiting the afternoon's lecture. The empty corridor was only spotted by a few people passing by on their way to the restroom.

"...It must be an illusion...!"

Outside of classroom 1-A, someone leaned against the wall, muttering to himself, his forehead covered while his dark eyes beneath his bangs had dilated pupils—in comics and anime, the highlights were almost gone, giving him a look of being torn apart.

I saw three beautiful girls sitting in my seat. How could I have such a dream?!

Ping Xin looked up and saw the address was 1-A. But why was there a completely unfamiliar pretty girl sitting in my seat?! Wait... Did I go to the wrong building and end up in the middle school instead of the high school?! That didn't make sense either. After all, the cafeteria details were different...

Ping Xin, who nominally attended junior high school for two years, actually knew very little about the school. Besides the exam rooms, the only place he visited regularly was the cafeteria, so he could confirm it. But could it have been renovated? Legend has it that a group of students always wait until he graduates before the school renovates or expands. Could he actually be the clown?!

*I am (looking up at the sky)...

Never mind, let’s count the prime numbers first!

“2、3、5、7、11、13、17、19、23、29、31、37、41、43、47、53、59、61、67、71、73、79、83、89、97......”

Before Ping Xin counted to 100, the girl who was sitting in the last row of seats by the window finally waved goodbye to her friends and decided to return to her class. The moment she opened the door, Ping Xin turned his head away and refused to let her see.

Although Hirayuko had previously secretly thought that "The World" was useless without the need to rule the world and fight people personally, he had already begun to utilize the Stand's shared vision and wall-penetration features. This would definitely be very useful for spying in the future; at least no one would be able to pull off "Open Door Kill" or "Hongmen Feast" tricks in front of him.

"Yaho~ Are you waiting for me? I remember you were the same person just now, right?"

No, absolutely not—

I didn't even say a word to you or even come close to you, right?

How on earth did you recognize me?!

I wanted to quietly return to my own place after she left, but Ping Xin, who had been idle all afternoon, encountered a major crisis.

Are you a little too familiar?

Chapter 7: Ninja, why?!

You want a young man who's been cheated on by a woman and now doubts humanity to the point of being socially anxious to suddenly start a conversation with a beautiful girl he doesn't know, just like in a gal? It's pretty hard.

The stranger JK's conversation with Ping Xin was completely beyond his expectations. After all, he believed that he did not have any elements that could make people fall in love at first sight (being noticed the first time they met). The man who was used to looking for reasons in himself did not realize that it was the other party who was too "abnormal" -

"Hello~ My name is Ichinose Asuna, please advise me. Um...were you peeking at me when Karin and Akane were talking just now?"

Asuka Maheishin was frightened to the point of freezing. On the one hand, he was worried that his "sight at the moment when the door opened and closed" had been noticed, and on the other hand... it was too close ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

"...DOMO, Asuna = SAN. Asuka Maheishin DESU... Please keep your distance from me, because the heart of the ninja killer no longer has any sorrow or joy in this life——"

Although Hirayukobu lacked the courage at the moment, he could borrow it temporarily. For example, here he allowed the ninja spirit to possess him and greet him. After all, the Kojiki (Kojiki) recorded that ninjas had to introduce themselves when meeting.

*In fact, this is also a way for social anxiety to go crazy. If the pink-haired guitarist who has not yet appeared is going crazy subconsciously, then the protagonist Ping Xin is releasing stress by actively going crazy in his brain.

Therefore, there may be some exaggerated words and actions at times. As for which ones are true and which ones are false, which ones are exaggerated and which ones are real, please read it based on the reactions of different characters in the book and your own understanding! *

His words and actions now seemed like a mask, each one carefully planned and rehearsed in his mind. Without the mask of "falsehood," Ping Xin would not be able to look directly at the "light" before him.

"Ahahaha~ You talk so funny, are you really a ninja?"

No, it's obvious no matter how you think about it, right? After all, ninjas...seem to still exist in modern times. At least in the previous world, there was still a "last ninja" in the world during this time period. Wouldn't this world feminize him too?

"I--"

"Hara Rin, Akane, look, it's a ninja!" The unknown girl opened the back door and shouted loudly without waiting for Ping Xin's reply.

At this time when everyone has basically "returned to their positions", this is equivalent to Brother Hu's "all eyes are on me". Regardless of whether he has the soul of a ninja or whether there are still ninjas in this world, at least Ping Xin now wants to be a ninja who can use transformation techniques to change his appearance, use substitute techniques to escape from the battlefield, and use instant body techniques to escape!

But unfortunately, he couldn't help it. After all, his eyes were ordinary and couldn't participate in the "Legend of the Eyes". Although he couldn't become a "ninja", he could "endure" it for now. With his pupils dilated, Hirayuko was being led along the way, torturing himself with boring jokes in his mind.

"...Really?" The brown-skinned girl looked innocent and actually believed what she said.

"Ninja... Speaking of kunoichi, aren't they a bit like maids?"

No, no, no, the difference between a ninja, a kunoichi, and a maid is too big, isn't it? Give me some serious criticism, you unknown girl with glasses!

The other students in the class were also scrutinizing Ping Xin. He was an ordinary boy who seemed a bit reserved. Besides wearing a mask indoors, he had no special features. After all, he wasn't the only one suffering from hay fever. So...

Will he be a toy for hot girls? The doubtful, mocking, and contemptuous looks from strangers made his skin tingle, and his blood began to flow faster.

*Tmd, the counterattack storm is about to begin!

"I am... Asuka Maheishin." A concise self-introduction.

"...Kadodade Hana Rin."

The same simple self-introduction, the same evasive gaze, hesitant words, and ambiguous attitude. Could it be... the same kind? Ping Xin smelled the scent of social anxiety, but unlike him, this girl at least had a few friends, while he had no real friends in the entire East Country except for a few acquaintances.

"I'm Murokasa Akane, hello~"

Unlike Asuna Ichinose and Karin Kadotate, who are overly enthusiastic and (suspected of being socially anxious) overly cold, Murokasa Akane has a very good control of social distance. This attitude, which is like doing business as usual and being "superficially friendly" to others, can make him feel a little relaxed.

But looking at it this way, the three of them are really incredible beauties——

How should I describe Ichinose Asuna...should I say she's innocent, or simply incapable of reading the atmosphere, or perhaps just a bit of a fool? Anyway, it's too close, too close. Please observe social distancing!

Putting aside the social distance that made him uncomfortable due to her overly enthusiastic and close manner when they first met, Asuna was definitely a beautiful girl who would be warmly welcomed by everyone.

Her azure eyes were filled with curiosity and kindness. Her flaxen hair, visible to the naked eye, reached a staggering length, reaching past her waist and hips (perhaps even her hips), and fell carelessly behind her head. Her hair, once a rather unremarkable color, shone brightly in the midday sun, seemingly radiating. Before, she was passionate and radiant, like the sun.

Her right eye, half-hidden beneath her bangs, creates an air of casual ease. Far from being a demerit, this casualness becomes part of her personality, showcasing the youthful energy unique to JKs (high school girls). Anyone who sees her can instantly recognize this endearing JK, possessing kindness and curiosity about the world and others, while also possessing a vibrant and energetic spirit.

But the blue manicure on her hands, the hair band on her hands and her slightly "frivolous" words and deeds give people the impression of a middle-eastern JK hottie. Well, as expected——

I absolutely can't handle this kind of woman!

As for the second person who introduced herself, Kadodashi Hana Rin, who was suspected to also have social anxiety attributes——

First, she was a rare dark-skinned girl, with long black hair that reached her waist and hips, tinged with lavender at the ends. It was unclear if she had dyed it. Her golden pupils fixed on Ping Xin, giving him the impression of being difficult to approach, as if she were resistant and wary of him. She was cold and aloof, as if she kept people at arm's length. Like the moon, she existed quietly but didn't actively shine, simply following the movements of the "sun."

Although meeting "similar people" can give Pingxin a sense of security, it is absolutely difficult to let socially anxious people make friends actively, or even let two socially anxious people make friends with each other, so he will not take the initiative to strike up a conversation!

The third girl, Murokasa Akane, also has long hair that reaches her waist and hips, a hairstyle that was completely unseen in school in her previous life. The fluffy and slightly curled hair at the bottom makes her look even more gentle and harmless. Compared to a lion with similarly "blooming" hair, she looks more like a rabbit's tail.

Compared to the other two, Murokasa Akane, with her light brown hair and gray eyes, was relatively unremarkable, catching the attention of a young man who had a slight complaint about her lackluster black hair and dark eyes. Her round black glasses softened her features, though they weren't as noticeable as the fringe of bangs cascading down in front of her.

Her voice was as soft and sweet as a sugar cake, her words tinged with a playful energy. Her manners were polite and respectful, never intrusive. She gave off the air of a girl next door, a kind of tolerant, girl-next-door...? No, more accurately, more like... a newlywed wife? Or perhaps a maid? While the two metaphors were vastly different, Hirayuko felt both were true.

But for some reason, Ping Xin felt that she was the most difficult to deal with among the three. His social anxiety and intuition told him not to cause trouble easily just because she looked easy to talk to.

In summary--

At first glance, I determined that none of the three could be offended.

Is it possible to appear? .jpg

Chapter 8: Calling the other person a lazy bum when meeting for the first time?

“…Ah, that—”

The moment he opened his mouth, he was stared at by three people, and the pressure instantly reached 14000 points. Having just confirmed that they were "threats," Asuka Maheishin resolved to keep his distance and not be deceived by a mere woman! He had to directly say, "Please keep your distance from me!"

Yes, speak your mind boldly——

"Um...lunch break...is it almost over? Like...is it okay to go to class...or something like that?"

The three young and lovely JKs surrounding him exchanged glances with each other——

How interesting, Ping Xinjun!

This person... is unexpectedly weak.

A bit cute~

Surrounded by three completely unfamiliar beautiful girls and then stared at by the entire class, Ping Xin is now almost overwhelmed in every sense of the word! No, I have to think of a way... think of a way... Ping Xin, quickly use your invincible "World" to find a solution!!!

But it's a pity that Ping Xin's [fighting spirit] can only strike hard at characters of the same sex. If he faces a woman... facing such a naturally strong person... will he be considered successful if he doesn't get beaten into a pulp? Ping Xin has no confidence -

So what if they were stand users? So what if they had super powers? So what if they were time travelers?

Once there's a chance, there's a second. Beating up fellow time travelers is a perennial theme. After all, thinking you're special can lead to arrogance, and arrogance leads to failure. Three seconds is too short for someone who's insecure, at least...

"Hey, what ninjutsu do you know? Can you just vanish in a flash?"

The girl named Ichinose Asuna hugged him with a "Chi~" sound. The physical contact with the opposite sex made Hirashin's brain enter an unprecedented super-high speed state and then - he stopped thinking.

Mep Bourbon.jpg

What are those two soft, warm hemispheres? What is the future of humanity? What's holding his arm? What controls humanity's fate? Why would this girl named Asuna do this to him? What's his reason for traveling through time? And why did he suddenly have a Stand?

have no idea......

I don’t know any of this!

He was just an ordinary time traveler. Although he had just gained the power of "Stand" this morning, he didn't think he had the qualities that would make people fall in love at first sight. Could he be the kind of woman who only liked nerds, scumbags, and incompetent men? The world is full of wonders. The question was, did he really look that weak?

But looking at her, it seems more like...she's not thinking about anything?

No matter what, being approached by others, especially cute animals and beautiful girls, always makes people feel refreshed. After the brainstorming ended, Ping Xin had already thought of what to say next, but -

"...Ah...Where are the people?"

He didn't know when the three people had disappeared from his sight and the afternoon classes were proceeding normally, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

"...I see. It was an illusion."

No wonder there are hot girls who are kind to socially anxious otakus, and there are three beautiful girls with their own characteristics at once, and they even take the initiative to approach you when they first meet - please forgive me for being frank, but this is a setting that only writers of short novels dare to use easily. How could it happen in reality!

Even if it was just an illusion, the overly intimate contact just now has drained all my social energy, and I'm in dire need of a recharge. Bag hung up, clothes piled, and I'm in a state of turmoil, ready to go to sleep! Sleep reduces unnecessary energy consumption and allows the body to focus on recovery and growth, which is one of the main reasons why sick people and growing children are often advised to get more sleep.

Now, after absorbing sufficient energy, Asuka Ma Heishin's body is in urgent need of rest and a major overhaul. In fact, from the moment he started eating in the cafeteria, Heishin's body began to recover and become stronger.

If someone carefully observed him at this moment, they would have seen his muscles trembling slightly and his body slowly expanding in his sleep. An unprecedented transformation was taking place within him. And this transformation, unique to him, would eventually spread to the East Country, the Yan Country, Victoria, and even the entire world.

"..."

What on earth is going on with this person? Kadodate Karin was a little curious.

He suddenly stood there motionless, unresponsive to anyone's actions, but then, as if suddenly coming to his senses, he moved freely. Was this some kind of tactic to ignore everyone? Besides, not only was he late for most of the day on the first day of school, but he even slept through the afternoon class. Could his grades really be okay?

*It is well known that some subjects can no longer be understood if one loses focus for even a few seconds.

Karin is a cautious and patient person, a quality that allowed her to be admitted to the high school department of Seihyang Junior High School despite her low or even poor academic talent. Most people with social anxiety are kind because they simply don't have the courage to hurt others, and Kadotake Karin is no exception.

Such a simple and kind girl suffered bullying for two years in junior high school because of her skin color. Her life did not turn around until she transferred to another school and met her friend Asuna. Whether it was the motivation to study or making a close friend for the first time, it brought her heartfelt joy.

Because of her yearning, she admires and imitates others. Even if she cannot become the "sun" like Ichinose Asuna, Hana Rin wants to do her best to help others, especially those who are introverted and shy like Hirashin and her former self, who cannot ask others for help even when they are bullied.

"......call out--"
