After chatting for a while, the train arrived at the station.
Katsura Kotonoha said to Lin Mu, a little embarrassed,
"Um, Lin, I... I've arrived at my stop."
"Alright, then you go ahead and get off, Gui. We'll talk on the phone. See you."
Lin Mu smiled and nodded.
Katsura Kotonoha, enduring her shyness, nodded vigorously, stole a glance at him, and then got off the train.
On her way to school, she lowered her head, feeling a bit annoyed.
Just now, Lin Mu had been the one initiating the conversation.
She was like a dumbfounded person, only knowing how to shyly nod. Would Lin think she was very stupid?
Would he have a bad impression of her?
Would he really contact her again in the future?
After replaying the scene in her mind, Katsura Kotonoha couldn't help but sigh deeply, becoming anxious and uncertain.
A handsome guy like Lin Mu, who actively came to talk to her, and whose eyes were so clean, not staring at her breasts.
She was naturally happy.
But she had acted so foolishly, and she felt so unwilling.
Why did she have to be so dull?
But... at that moment, her mind was blank, and she had no idea what to say to him.
Katsura Kotonoha, with zero experience in making friends, had no idea how to start a conversation.
After all, Lin Mu was a boy.
She couldn't possibly talk to him about private girl stuff, could she?
Back with Lin Mu, he had already returned to Gabriel and Mahiru's side.
"What, are you done chatting with your childhood sweetheart?"
Mahiru pouted and asked.
Lin Mu looked at her helplessly, "She's not a sweetheart yet, Katsura Kotonoha doesn't remember me from elementary school."
"So you failed to pick her up? Do you need my help?"
Mahiru said with great interest.
She was quite relieved; rather than let Lin Mu mess around with some strange women outside, she'd rather personally vet them and find women who wouldn't disrupt harmony to get along with.
"Mahiru, it would be great if you're willing to help. Katsura Kotonoha is a bit shy, and it seems that because of her introverted personality, her classmates think she's aloof and are ostracizing her."
Shiina Mahiru's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this, and she quickly covered her mouth.
"Is it that bad?"
"I always thought Yukino's situation was unbelievable enough, being so pretty yet still isolated. And now another one has appeared..."
Lin Mu shrugged, "Isn't that right? It's just like the character setting of a light novel heroine."
And isn't Mahiru the same?
Such a cute girl, like an Angel.
Yet she has two parents, Shiina Asahi and Shiina Sayo, who don't like her and are utterly awful.
"Then next time, I'll find an opportunity to get to know Katsura Kotonoha. Mu-kun, some things are easier for us girls to find out."
"Then I'll leave it to you, My Angel."
Gabriel was disinterested in their conversation.
Aside from the phrase "My Angel" making her brow twitch, she remained her usual lazy, listless self.
Mainly, she was out of money, unable to make in-app purchases, and couldn't even afford food, which greatly troubled Gabriel.
She could only look forward to trying out a part-time job at the convenience store Mahiru mentioned that afternoon.
Unbeknownst to them, Saionji Odoriko's shop had already become a primary workplace for beautiful girls.
Saionji Odoriko was quite helpless about this.
Young, pretty girls kept appearing there, most of them Lin Mu's classmates and friends.
Miss Yoko was under immense pressure, feeling like her chest had even grown a bit more due to the stress.
Arriving at the classroom, Lin Mu glanced at the shy Dan Sheng Gu Sen Xia and the complex-faced Miura Yumiko, smiled, and returned to his seat.
A bond had already formed.
Next, it was a matter of continuous interaction, striving for things to fall into place naturally.
Miura Yumiko no longer longed for Hayama Hayato, which secretly pleased Lin Mu.
Such a good girl, it would be too much of a waste for her to be Hayama's tool or shield.
She should be looking at him, Lin Mu, with that kind of longing gaze.
Sitting in his seat, Lin Mu habitually poked Kato Megumi's slender waist, drawing a somewhat resentful look from the girl.
Lin Mu's lips curved slightly.
"Good morning, Xiao Hui, your waist seems even softer."
"Good morning. By the way, isn't this harassment? If this continues, I'll really have to call the police!"
"Haha, even if you call the police, I'll still do this. Please accept your fate, Kato-san!"
After his usual teasing of Kato Megumi, Lin Mu was about to discuss the topic of kissing with her.
Satania suddenly ran up to him again, wiping away tears and complaining.
"W-w-w, Senior, Satania's pineapple bun was stolen by that dog again!"
Vignette leaned over, looking at Satania with a complicated expression, sharing a speechless look with Gabriel.
Lin Mu's mouth also twitched.
"Satania, didn't your magic power increase greatly? How did you lose to that ordinary little white dog again?"
"W-w-w, I don't know either, but I lost, and my pineapple bun was stolen."
Satania, whose magic power had greatly increased after Lin Mu's guidance last time, wanted to get even, so she confronted the little white dog.
And the result was her bun being stolen again.
Lin Mu probably understood.
Satania, despite appearing to be a demon, was actually just a cute girl who couldn't bear to harm small animals.
So, even though she possessed great power, she instinctively didn't want to hurt small animals.
The result was losing to the small animal and having her pineapple bun stolen.
Plus, there was the devious Angel Raphael secretly watching her, enjoying her misfortune.
Satania would probably have many more pineapple buns stolen in the future.
Looking at the teary-eyed Satania, Lin Mu helplessly reached out and ruffled her hair.
"Alright, alright, I still have a pineapple bun here, I'll give it to you. Next time, call me, and I'll see what kind of small animal dares to bully my cute junior."
"Senior, thank you!"
Satania quickly smiled after receiving the pineapple bun.
Gabriel, on the other hand, stared at Lin Mu's pocket with eager eyes.
She still hadn't figured out her lunch.
So, seeing him so generously give Satania a bun, she really wanted one too.
Although freeloading Vignette's lunch wasn't bad.
But thinking about Lin Mu making her run errands before, she still wanted to freeload off Lin Mu.
Noticing Gabriel's gaze, Lin Mu decisively pulled out a pineapple bun, "Gabriel, do you want one? I have another."
"Yes, thank you!"
Gabriel immediately took it, looking at Lin Mu with some emotion.
What a good person!
So understanding, seeing her predicament.
Vignette's face was full of black lines.
It was just a bun, was it necessary to be so touched?
She often helped Gabriel clean and urged her to study, but she never saw her moved.
Damn it, why did she feel a little sour inside?
While she was thinking, Lin Mu pulled out another pineapple bun and handed it to her.
"Vignette, do you want one?"
"Uh... no thanks. But where did you pull that out from? How many pineapple buns do you even have?"
Vignette couldn't help but complain.
Lin Mu smiled triumphantly, "As many as you want. When facing cute girls, I feel like I can do anything."
Vignette returned to her seat, feeling a little powerless to complain.
And that bun was taken by Gabriel.
Vignette didn't want it, but she did!
As for where Lin Mu pulled it out from, she wasn't too concerned.
