“Uh… haha, I’m indeed not very interested in socializing.”
Ashford laughed awkwardly.
Hearing Fluttershy’s teasing, he didn’t know how to respond and could only chuckle back at her.
“By the way, what’s the deal with Sunset Shimmer? Is she the school bully?”
“Sigh~, Sunset Shimmer is indeed the school bully here. She enrolled in the same term as you, and all the students are afraid of her. Except for you and Trixie.”
After hearing Fluttershy’s explanation, Ashford shook his head slightly.
Why did these students always like to bully others?
“My interactions with Sunset Shimmer aren’t very deep. Or rather, I’m really no different from Maud Pie; I have far too little social life here. I don’t even know the reason why she’s bullying me.”
“Uh… it might be because of that very point—your lack of socializing—combined with everyone’s evaluation of you. That’s probably why Sunset Shimmer targeted you.”
“Huh? Evaluation of me?”
Ashford was now curious about what Fluttershy said.
What kind of evaluation could someone who dislikes socializing have?
Reclusive?
“Ashford, everyone is saying now that you’re a strange top student because they’ve noticed you don’t really like communicating with others and have zero social life. At least Maud Pie has her own club and a sister like Pinkie Pie, but you really seem to be all alone. It’s probably because of this that Sunset Shimmer wanted to use you to assert her dominance.”
“Oh~, I see.”
After Fluttershy voiced her theory, Ashford nodded in realization.
At the same time, he secretly complained in his heart about the situation at this school.
Father, it’s not that your son wants to cause trouble, it’s just that fate has brought me to this point.
“By the way, speaking of which, Ashford, you haven’t joined a club yet, right?”
“That’s right. I wanted to join Maud Pie’s club, but it was too dull and didn’t suit me. I also thought about joining Rainbow Dash’s club, but that’s a sports club; I thought it was for astronomy. So far, I haven’t joined any clubs and I’m still on my own.”
Ashford smiled slightly as he said this, not knowing if he was mocking his own high standards or his solitary fate.
However, Fluttershy’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.
“Then you can come join my club.”
“Yours?”
Feeling that the medicine on his back had been applied, Ashford picked up his shirt and put it on, then looked at Fluttershy with a puzzled expression.
“Yes, my club knits clothes for small animals. You just need to sit and chat with friends while using a needle and thread to sew clothes. Uh… there are boys in my club too. If you like it… I won’t force you.” This chapter was taken from novelping . com without permission.
Looking at Fluttershy’s restless and at-a-loss manner, Ashford realized for the first time that she was actually so shy.
She hadn’t even blushed just now while applying medicine to his back.
In her mind, was inviting someone to a club harder to say than applying medicine to them?
The people here were so strange; they had no big reaction to the distinction between men and women, yet they reacted strongly to other things.
For instance, Pinkie Pie had physical contact with him before, yet she said Mud Stone was a boring fellow, even though her sister Maud Pie was the same.
And now, Fluttershy applied medicine to him very naturally, but blushed when inviting him to a club.
The cultural difference was really obvious…
“Wow, Ashford, I didn’t expect your skill in making wool clothes to be so good. Look at these little guys, they look so cute hopping around.”
Fluttershy smiled as she watched the scene with Ashford.
All sorts of small animals were dressed in beautiful clothes they had sewn stitch by stitch.
But compared to Fluttershy’s happiness, Ashford fell into deep thought as he looked at the little rabbit beside him.
“Fluttershy, are you sure the small animals here are all gentle?”
“Of course, the little guys in our club are all very cute babies.”
“Then can you explain why this little rabbit is biting my leg?”
Hearing Ashford’s words, Fluttershy turned her head in confusion.
Looking down, she saw the rabbit biting Ashford’s calf.
“Angel! You mustn’t be so rude. Let go quickly.”
“Ow, ow, ow! Fluttershy, don’t pull! I feel like my flesh is about to be bitten off.”
After a frantic scramble, Angel finally let go.
Ashford clutched his calf with tears in his eyes, feeling so wronged he was about to cry out loud.
Although his calf only had a bit of skin broken, the feeling of being bullied by a little rabbit was truly unpleasant.
If it weren’t for the fact that Angel was Fluttershy’s pet, Ashford would have served him a War Stomp long ago.
“Ashford, I’m so sorry. I didn’t expect something like this to happen.”
“Uh… maybe he doesn’t like the clothes you sewed for him.”
“Just because I sewed a little cat onto the clothes?”
Ashford really couldn’t understand how a creature like a rabbit could have the IQ to think about what it was wearing.
What kind of rabbit had that kind of intelligence?
“Oh, Ashford, I should have told you earlier. Angel is different from ordinary animals; Angel’s IQ is very high. He can even answer questions.”
“Really? Then let me test this rabbit. Angel, let me ask you: what does 1+1 equal?”
After Ashford finished speaking, Angel pulled out a pencil and a piece of paper from somewhere.
Then, under Ashford’s shocked gaze, the little rabbit actually wrote down the number 2 on the paper with the pencil.
Ashford’s eyes almost popped out.
Was this really still a rabbit?
A rabbit with this kind of IQ?
Having been proven wrong, Ashford felt his face burning, especially under Angel’s mocking gaze at that moment.
“Did this rabbit just roll its eyes at me?”
“If you’re starting to suspect it, then it probably did. Because sometimes even I have to listen to this rabbit.”
“…”
Ashford felt like his intelligence was being ground into the dirt.
Who would have thought that in his lifetime, he would be mocked by a rabbit.
But was a rabbit really this smart?
“Fluttershy, has your rabbit always been this smart?”
“Yes, I’ve lived with him ever since he was born. I was also surprised at first to find that this little rabbit’s IQ is ridiculously high, not at all like a rabbit’s.”
Fluttershy stroked Angel as she told Ashford about Angel’s wonders, but from an angle Fluttershy couldn’t see, Ashford’s gaze gradually grew solemn.
Could there really be magic here?
