Mygo, are you all yanderes?

As the increasingly disgusting plot unfolded before him, Kusano Akira wished for the first time that he could dream a little longer, even if it was a nightmare.

........................

Chihaya Aine never denies one thing: she is actually a person with an insatiable sense of vanity.

Perhaps due to her family background, or perhaps because of her naturally cheerful personality, Chihaya Aine successfully attracted everyone's attention the first time she left her parents' embrace.

When she was surrounded by a group of children her age in kindergarten, their eyes filled with longing, an indescribable feeling welled up in her young heart. The sweet feeling of being the center of attention made her realize her ultimate goal in life.

She wants to become the center of attention.

Everyone has different hobbies. For example, Chihaya Aine can guarantee that her teammate Shiina Tatsuki is not a showy person and prefers to do practical things rather than show off.

Another example is her companion's pet, Takasatsu-den, whose hobbies include collecting stones and writing notes—which, according to her, are her innermost thoughts.

As mentioned above, Chihaya Aine's hobby is to enjoy being the center of attention.

Volume 1: Chapter 144 (2k)

That might not be entirely accurate, since there are many different types of attention.

If you're asked a question by a teacher in school and can't answer it, your classmates will notice; if you accidentally do something funny on an important occasion, everyone present will notice; if you accidentally spill ramen broth on your collar while eating ramen and, in your haste to wipe it clean, you accidentally knock over the bowl, causing the ramen and broth to spill all over your clothes, everyone in the ramen shop will notice.

These are not the kinds of attention Chihaya Aine wants.

What she wanted was to be looked at with admiration, to be seen as a 'powerful person', someone even the most cynical and sarcastic person couldn't find fault with.

Sometimes Chihaya Aine would thank God for giving her decent talent, which allowed her to have a smooth path to fame.

Whether it was being elected class monitor in elementary school or running for student council president in junior high, she achieved her goals with almost no pressure, whether it was academics or social skills.

It can be said that before high school, Chihaya Aine was truly a person without weaknesses, just as Kusano Akira said.

That's absolutely right. Before experiencing setbacks, she was indeed an 'invincible' being. At that time, she almost didn't think there was anything she couldn't do.

Until he encountered his first major setback in life—studying in the UK.

That experience is something she will probably never forget for the rest of her life.

Academically, there's not much of a problem. After all, her English grades are quite good, and she can understand the textbooks. Even if the two schools are at different paces, with her talent, self-study is more than enough, and she can at least keep up with the teacher's pace. The real problem lies in her spoken English.

Japanese Seven's spoken English was so bad that it was disastrous, making it impossible for her to communicate with her British classmates, and even her high-ranking teachers couldn't understand what she was saying.

So she had no social connections there at all, and even her roommates were very distant from her, almost like strangers.

'Damn it, the day I can communicate with you all normally, I'll make you all wave Anno Tokyo flags and call me big sister!' Chihaya Aine had thought of things like that, but as I said before, her spoken English was terrible. Her classmates didn't even know her real name and called her Anon ann.

How is she supposed to play like this?

So she slunk back to Tokyo.

For the first time in her life, she ran away like a loser—oh no, not like, she *was* a loser.

In short, after reaffirming her resolve to return to London one day on the plane, Chihaya Aine returned to her comfort zone.

What happened next is easy to understand: he made friends, formed a band, and made a name for himself, thus regaining his former glory.

Of course, although she is doing well now, having temporarily forgotten everything from the past at her new school and found a way to stand out again, she still has one thing to worry about—she doesn't know how to face her former classmates.

In the past, he made a big fuss about his trip abroad in order to show off, and he received countless praises at the time. But now, those praises could turn into swords against him at any moment.

If Wu's former classmates find out she's back in China, her life will be over...

7. So even though she hasn't run into her old classmates, this incident still makes Chihaya Aine worry every day.

What should I do if I encounter a diamond?

Unable to think of a solution, or rather, unwilling to consider the possibility of being caught, Chihaya Aine could only hope that she would never run into them again.

But as the saying goes, what you fear most is what comes to pass, and Chihaya Aine's hopes were dashed.

"…Huh? President Chihaya!"

"...!"

The two girls' surprised voices echoed in the small music store, naturally reaching the ears of Chihaya Aine, who was bending over to select a pick.

Her fair fingers trembled slightly, and her delicate nails scraped against the plastic pick with a little force, making a soft sound. The familiar voice in her ear was like a heavy hammer, shattering her courage and making her hesitant to turn around and face the owner of the voice.

This voice sounds familiar... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before. Where? Hahaha...

That was her junior high school classmate!

Moreover, this person was her best friend in middle school, the vice president who was in charge of assisting her at the time and was frightened by the crazy Kusano Akira!

"Chihaya-sensei... Ah! You mean that best friend from junior high that you always talk about, Sasuke?"

Another sound, one that radiates warmth and sunshine, came from behind, sounding as if the speaker was quite surprised.

"Yes, that's her, but shouldn't she be studying in England right now..."

"Could it be that they mistook me for someone else?"

"No, I don't think so. Pink hair is very rare, and besides, I've only ever seen the student council president dress like that..."

"Should we go and check?" (whispering)

"That's not a good idea (whispering)."

"It's okay. If we admit our mistake and apologize sincerely, I believe the other party won't hold it against us (whispering)."

"Search: 匛°○【杷◆er缌参参∩,聆∨好(whispering)."

Chihaya Aine wanted to tell them that no matter how softly they spoke in this small space, she could hear them clearly, but she wanted to find a chance to escape as soon as possible.

Chihaya Aine's gaze swept over the small music store, passing over everything from the walls filled with guitars and stacked amplifiers to the mixing console in the corner, all as she tried to escape.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find a second way to the outside world besides the entrance, and the only exit was blocked by the approaching footsteps behind her.

If she had the chance to do it all over again, she would definitely find a bigger music store—no, if she had the chance to do it all over again, she would definitely cherish her picks! If she hadn't used them so recklessly and without restraint, how could she have ended up in this predicament!

"Um, hello...?"

That energetic voice, tinged with hesitation, rang in Chihaya Aine's ears. Judging from the volume of the voice, the two of them had already walked up behind Chihaya Aine, no more than an arm's length away from her.

"..."

Now that things have come to this, there's no escaping it. I never expected this day to come so soon. This is the punishment for bragging.

After taking a deep breath, Chihaya Aine turned around with an awkward smile and greeted the two girls who were looking at her.

Volume 1: Chapter 145 (2k)

Before Chihaya Aine appeared one of her old friends from middle school—Sasaki Tsuko, a cool-looking girl with neat short hair; and the other was a beautiful girl with fiery long hair and fashionable clothes.

"It really is President Chihaya!"

The moment Chihaya Aine revealed her face, Sasaki's second daughter opened her mouth slightly and said with some surprise, she grabbed Chihaya Aine's hand, her tone full of undisguised joy.

"When did you get back? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Kita, this is the student council president I told you about, president of our middle school. The girl next to me is named Kita Iku..."

"Ahem! Just call me Kita!"

Kita Ikuyo suddenly coughed loudly, interrupting Sasaki's second son's introduction. Then she gently swayed her body, her slightly curly red hair bobbing with the movement, and smiled warmly at Chihaya Aine.

"...Hello, you can call me Qian Zaozao."

Chihaya Aine forced a smile, trying to respond to the other person's bright smile, but the muscles in her cheeks twitched slightly uncontrollably.

She gripped the pick tightly in her hand, rubbing it with her fingers as if to ease her tension.

Normally, she would be happy to be friends with this seemingly cheerful girl, but right now she had no time for that. She just hoped that Sasaki's second son would stop asking about her studies in England, otherwise not only would her image be ruined in front of her, but even this girl would know that Chihaya Aine was just a boastful guy.

"Speaking of which, President, weren't you studying in the UK? What are you doing here?"

Haha, we're doomed.

As her initial enthusiasm for seeing her middle school sweetheart faded, Sasaki Tsuko calmed down and remembered her earlier question. She asked it directly, and the moment she asked, the air seemed to freeze, turning into a thousand needles piercing Chihaya Aine's heart.

She felt her calves go weak and almost couldn't stand up. They were trembling uncontrollably, and she felt like crying.

"Well, well, a lot of things happened, so I came back to school, haha..."

"Speaking of which, since Chihaya-san is here, does that mean you actually play a musical instrument?"

Kita Ikuyo suddenly interrupted their conversation. She stepped forward with light, quick steps and asked curiously, while playfully winking at Chihaya Aine as she looked on fidgeting.

"...So, the president did perform at the school festival in junior high school."

Sasaki's second son's voice also paused for a moment, then he continued Kita Ikuyo's conversation as if nothing had happened.

"You've performed before? That's amazing! I've never performed before... Hey, Chihaya-san, what instrument do you play?"

"Oh, me? I can play the guitar."

Although Kita Ikuyo and Sasaki's second son's method of changing the subject was too obvious, it still allowed Chihaya Aine to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, at least ensuring that she wouldn't be embarrassed on the spot.

She loves this gentle world.

"As expected, after all, this is a guitar specialty store."

"Speaking of which, Chihaya-kun, are you involved in a band or something?"

"Hmm... I guess I am playing it."

Finally, she got to the few things she no longer felt embarrassed about, and Chihaya Aine felt as if her confidence had returned.

The soft light of the music store gently illuminated Kita Ikuyo's fair face. Her hands were crossed, and she kept twisting the cuffs of her sweatshirt, smiling somewhat shyly.

"Actually, I was also planning to play in a band, and I was in charge of the guitar position, but I played terribly, and no matter how I played, I couldn't play it well."

"Chihaya-kun, can I know the name of your band now? Maybe one day Satoshi and I can cheer for you!"

"Sure, but my band has only been together for less than a month, and we haven't even come up with a name yet, so our performance might not be very good..."

"It's okay, I really want to see it, and so does Sasuke, right?"

"sodayo."

"Hmm...have you guys heard of RIG?"

After much hesitation, Chihaya Aine decided to tell the two people in front of her the details of her current band.

She knew Sasaki's second son well, so there was no need to worry. The other party seemed to fully understand her current situation, which was why he changed the subject. As for the girl she had just met, she seemed to have a very nice personality, so it wouldn't hurt to tell her.

Moreover, Chihaya Aine desperately needs a chance to regain her dignity; she must make up for the loss of face she suffered while studying in the UK through band activities!

"Is that the famous live house? I heard it's a paradise for girl bands."

"It's more like a photo spot for young people than a live house."

Kita Ikuyo and Sasaki's second son spoke one after the other.

"Our band is playing there next Wednesday, and you should be able to see me then—probably."

"RIG...RIG...Ah, could it be..."

Sasaki's second daughter crossed her arms tightly over her chest, nodded and silently read RIG's name. As if she remembered something, she looked at Chihaya Aine and asked a question in confusion.

"President, are you studying at Haneoka now?"

"Xiao Zuo, your guess was way too accurate..."

"Is it really at Yuqiu?"

The flow is "really there".

"..."

"What's wrong?"

"I was just thinking, President, you and Kusano Akira are in the same school... Are you two still in the same class? No, that can't be."

"Kusano Akira?"

Upon hearing an unfamiliar name, Kita Ikuyo curiously leaned out and asked.

"Who is this person?"

"There was this weirdo in our junior high class. He didn't seem like a bad person, but his behavior..."

Recalling the memory of being frightened to tears by Kusano Akira, Sasaki's second son sighed helplessly.
