Time waits for no one, and school was soon over.
At this moment, Wakaba Hiiro was sitting elegantly on the grass in the school’s small park, leaning against a large tree, reading the latest manga that Hina had spent the afternoon drawing.
By chance, Urushibara Mirei happened to pass by and saw Wakaba Hiiro reading the manga.
Fueled by her anger from this morning’s events, the intimidation she received from Hina at noon, and her long-term bullying of Wakaba which made her inherently displeased just looking at her, anger rushed to her head.
It was just like a thug who forced the person he liked to do ‘that kind of thing’ every day, only to get extremely annoyed when the other party rejected him one day.
Walking straight toward Wakaba, with three parts jealousy, three parts ridicule, and four parts annoyance, she opened fire on Wakaba Hiiro.
“My, my, if it isn’t Classmate Wakaba? Reading manga, are we?”
“I’m sorry, but this is mine now. I believe in you, Wakaba. You wouldn’t make a fuss over such a small thing, right? It’s just a manga, nothing to get worked up over. You wouldn’t do something so petty, would you?”
With that, Urushibara Mirei snatched the manga from Wakaba Hiiro’s hands, her beautiful face shifting into an expression that was three parts ridicule, three parts mockery, three parts smugness, and ninety parts begging to be beaten.
“Urushibara! Give the manga back to her!” Hearing this voice, Urushibara’s face turned pale, and she turned around to look for the source of the sound.
The voice came from the classroom above.
There, Hina was glaring down at her from the classroom windowsill.
In the next second, Hina jumped straight down from the upper floor.
“Whoa!! Someone jumped from the building!”
Afterwards, Hina passed away.
Cause of death: jumping from a high altitude.
Thus, this book ends—The End.
(Just kidding, it feels great to be a bit playful.)
Using her [Genius Scholar Ability], Hina combined mechanics, physics, mathematics, and other related knowledge in her mind to calculate a way to minimize injury when jumping from the building.
The result was highly successful.
During the fall, she benefited from the cushioning force of a few tree branches, and combined with her sturdy body, she was able to land safely.
Hina stood up, patted the dust off her body, and glared at Urushibara, scaring her so much that she didn’t dare make a sound, failing to even react as Hina walked straight toward her. This chapter is updated first at novelping dot com.
Hina walked up to her, snatched the manga back, handed it to the sitting Wakaba, and smiled, “Classmate Wakaba, your manga.”
“Y-Why are you protecting Wakaba? Don’t tell me you like her too?” Urushibara Mirei suppressed the fear in her heart, turning it into strength as she roared at Hina.
“Uh, I suppose you could say that. Classmate Urushibara, you wouldn’t want those things of yours to be exposed, would you?” Hina smiled at her again.
“Y-You…” Urushibara Mirei fell back into that deep-seated fear once again.
She glared at Hina in anger, then turned on her heel and left.
In Hina’s home, there was an extra guest—none other than Classmate Negishi.
Negishi had already informed her parents that her friend had invited her over to her house.
Her parents were overjoyed to hear the news.
After all, Negishi had always suffered from low self-esteem because she didn’t look quite human, and she had never been able to make friends.
Now that she had finally made one, how could they not be happy?
“I-Is this really me?” Negishi said in disbelief, looking at herself in the mirror.
At this moment, she looked like a handsome male god under the moonlight (since her features leaned masculine, a bit of makeup, a suit, and tying her hair up did the trick).
“Of course! Isn’t it super handsome? Now, let me try putting you in women’s clothing.”
“Uh, Classmate Juri, I think I’ll pass. I feel like this is actually pretty good.”
“Come on, how will you know if you don’t try?” After that, Hina went all out on Classmate Negishi, while Negishi allowed herself to be “slaughtered” at Hina’s whim.
“How’s that? Didn’t you become pretty?” Hina had successfully transformed Negishi from an ugly girl into a normal-looking girl.
There was no other way; if she applied any more makeup, it would be too thick, and she wouldn’t look like herself anymore.
So, Hina only gave her a relatively light makeup look.
By the way, she had no idea which classmate she had signed in on to get these cosmetics.
Signing in on Classmate Negishi had granted her the bugged skill [Soul Nullification].
Similar to Kumoko’s [Heresy Nullification], it rendered soul attacks, illusions, and other such skills ineffective, though Abyss Magic was an exception. The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
“Thank you, Classmate Juri.” At this moment, Negishi’s eyes were brimming with tears, filled with immense gratitude toward Hina.
“Alright, alright, don’t cry, Classmate Negishi. If you keep crying, your makeup will run. You must be hungry, right? I’ll go make dinner.” With that, Hina hummed a little tune as she headed to the kitchen to cook.
After a while, Hina brought the dishes from the kitchen to the dining table.
“Thanks for the food!” x2
“Mmm~ ٩(*´◒`*)۶, Classmate Juri, your cooking is seriously delicious.”
“You flatter me, I only know a little bit.” To put it bluntly, this was the first time Hina had cooked since coming to this world in this life.
Over the past few days, she had been eating instant noodles or going out to noodle shops.
If Classmate Negishi hadn’t come over as a guest today, she would never have cooked.
It wasn’t that she was like the Raiden Shogun who couldn’t cook; she was actually just lazy.
“By the way, Classmate Juri, where are your parents?”
“About that…” Hearing Negishi ask this, Hina was reminded of her parents from her past life.
In her past life, her parents had never forced her to become ‘the child of someone else’s family’ or planned her life like those children.
They didn’t over-control her and would sometimes let her play games, provided she finished her homework first.
Parents like that in her past life’s China were already as rare as national protected animals.
Thinking about how they had placed so many of their hopes on her, only to be rewarded with her departure.
“I’m sorry, Classmate Juri, I shouldn’t have brought that up,” Negishi said with a look of regret.
She realized this was Hina’s touchy subject.
She had a touchy subject of her own, which was her looks.
Clearly, she had just touched Hina’s sore spot.
“It’s fine, Classmate Negishi, let’s eat.”
“By the way, Classmate Negishi, you have to remember that being yourself is the absolute best. Anyway, you only live once, so don’t worry about how you’re supposed to live. Who cares what anyone else says? Being happy is what matters.”
