Chapter 288 Socially anxious Youyou wants to make friends

"I see, that's what happened.

Yesterday, when Kobayashi and Huihui were dating, Youyou was feeling lonely and depressed, curled up on the sofa all day without moving, and Sato Kazuma told him about it.

After all, he is the leader of the team, and Youyou is Huihui's good friend. No matter what, this situation must be changed.

Kobayashi asked: "So, Sato-kun, what do you think should be done?"

Sato Kazuma pinched his chin and said: "Well... I think she should make some other friends."

In the final analysis, Youyou is depressed because she has too few friends. It is understandable that a girl who has no social skills would be listless after losing her only good friend.

If Kobayashi hadn't told Ryuko to keep an eye on them yesterday, Youyou would definitely follow them like a sasaeng fan, and then the clumsy tracking would always be discovered by them.

"I think so too. "

Kobayashi agreed with this idea.

In fact, as long as you communicate more with the team members, this situation will naturally disappear.

But...

"These are all problem children."

"That's right."

As a normal person, Youyou must find it troublesome to get along with the other problem children in the team. Even if she doesn't say it, or really doesn't think it's troublesome, it's already a troublesome thing in Kobayashi's eyes.

"Okay, let her get in touch with other teams for the time being."

"Other teams?"

"Just do missions together. Sato-kun, don't you often do missions with Duster and others, that kind of thing."

"Oh, there is such a method! "

Sato Kazuma suddenly realized.

Youyou is not that extreme. As a Crimson Demon Grand Mage and a normal person, she is very popular. Even Darkness, Aqua and Huihui often have people come to them for help. Of course, they are socially phobic and agree, and usually cause a big mess.

"But is this okay?"

"It's okay, I'll go talk to her."

The next day.

Kobayashi went to find Youyou to explain the matter.

Of course, he would not tell her the truth, but told her in the form of loaning and mercenary, which is very common among adventurers.

"Although the team members are fixed, there are always some necessary mobile combinations to deal with various occasions. Being able to be with other adventurers is also another kind of romance."

"Is that so?"

"Of course! And the team members also need some private property, and at this time they need to adventure with other teams. By the way, the team will not ask about this part of the profit. ”

“Haa…”

Youyou is a real rich girl, and she is also a powerful and high-level Grand Mage. She has no problem doing quests alone.

It seems that there is no need to team up with others, but the timid girl still wants to make friends.

She is a little tempted.

Kobayashi took this opportunity to persuade: "How about it, Youyou? It happens that I have a team here that is in urgent need of a powerful Grand Mage. Are you interested?"

"Um... can I?"

"If the Red Demons, who are known for their intelligence, can't do it, I don't think there will be anyone else.

Give the girl the greatest confidence.

Encouraged, Youyou bit her lip and made up her mind: "I'll go!"

Then——

Kobayashi brought Youyou to the guild.

In front of the task board, there were three female adventurers waiting there early. They were a three-person team consisting of a knight, an archer, and a priest.

Because the task requires the help of a mage, so it is recruited on the notice board.

After Kobayashi communicated with them, they readily agreed.

"I can't help but agree. After all, great magicians are not common in Axel. Hello, I don't know if Xiaolin has explained it to you. Let me introduce myself. I'm Tomoe, the captain of the team. Please give me your advice, Youyou."

"Yes, yes! Please give me your advice!"

Youyou was a little overwhelmed by the dashing female knight.

Xiaolin said, "Hey, you guys, don't scare Youyou."

"Huh? What are you talking about! Xiaolin, there's nothing for you to do here, leave quickly!"

"That's right, leave quickly."

"Leave quickly, leave quickly!"

The three people who had done their job had already expelled Xiaolin.

He didn't do it well, gave Youyou a cheering look, and then turned and left.

...It's impossible.

Although he left, he didn't leave completely, but followed them from a distance.

These three people were carefully selected by Xiaolin.

Whether it's character, gender or personality, they should be able to lead Youyou, and it's easier to talk to people of the same sex.

It should be like this.

Why is it so miserable.

One day passed, and when the mission was over and night fell, Youyou said goodbye to the three people and sat alone in the corner of the guild, looking so depressed and lonely.

Xiaolin walked over and patted her shoulder.

"You have tried very hard."

"Yes! Like actively doing the mission, talking to them, and trying to expand the topic!" Youyou talked excitedly, but immediately put her shoulders down and said dejectedly: "But..."

"Yes. Almost... No, it's not at all to the point where we can chat casually."

Sighed slightly.

As if she was talking about something sad, Youyou clasped her hands together and was about to cry: "What did I do wrong?"

It seems that she still doesn't understand.

Xiaolin reviewed it for her.

"First of all, you don't need souvenirs to participate in the mission, the other party will think it is a burden. Besides, how did you carry so many things on you? Do you also have a four-dimensional pocket?"

"But you have to greet them properly!"

Youyou said it very seriously.

Maybe in her opinion, this is necessary etiquette, but Xiaolin only saw that the noble lady went to great lengths to write a letter. Adventurers are a group of casual people. Such behavior will only create unnecessary barriers.

"Also! Don't talk about the weather during the battle, you must know how to read people's expressions!"

"I saw dark clouds in the distance, and I wondered if it would rain or something."

What does it mean?

What's wrong with raining?

Do you mean you have to go home to collect clothes?

You are an adventurer, a person who will achieve your goal no matter what bad weather, what difficult enemies, or what helpless dangers you are in.

At this time, don't say something that will spoil the mood and ruin the romance that is unique to adventurers.

... or something like that, he would not say such harsh words to the girl.

"But the most important thing is...!"

"What is it?"

"When you are invited to participate in the reflection meeting, "Can I go too?" "If I disturb you, please tell me"... and so on, absolutely don't say it! It's too heavy!"

"But, but, it may just be social etiquette!"

Youyou was anxious with tears in the corners of her eyes.

She looked aggrieved, was it because she pushed too hard, was it her fault?

Although she is growing, it will be very difficult to gain so little with such hard work in the future...

"Wuwu... What should I do..."

Youyou is like a helpless girl.

Huh——

"Just keep it like this. At first, it's just an acquaintance, and it may be upgraded to a friend in the future. As long as you do it little by little, I think your efforts will not be in vain."

"Start with acquaintances first? But if so, when can we become friends..."

Obviously, Kobayashi's chicken soup didn't work.

It worked for those problem kids, so why didn't it work for Youyou?

Is it because she's a normal person?

But how can she make friends? Will she be alone for the rest of her life? Will she just give up?

"Mr. Kobayashi..."

"After all, do you really need friends? It's better to say that people without friends may be able to live stronger."

"Maybe that's what you said, but I still want friends..."

Indeed.

If it wasn't for this, Youyou wouldn't have agreed to Kobayashi's request.

Forget it.

Kobayashi comforted her, "Don't be so depressed, don't be anxious, wait for the opportunity."

Even if she couldn't make friends with others, the problem kids in the team would still be happy, not to mention that she had a good lesbian.

"But if that's the case, I may never make friends in my life... woooo..."

Why did she cry?

In Youyou's opinion, Kobayashi had completely given up on her.

Therefore——

Youyou lay on Xiaolin, hugged his waist and cried: "Please! I can only rely on Mr. Xiaolin now! Or do you dislike me because I can't do it? We both worked so hard to do it~!"

"Hey! Just want to make friends! If you say that, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings!"

Xiaolin was scared and sweated.

The other people in the guild were already looking at them. The men turned into people of fun, treating their farce as a snack. And the women stared at him with disgust and hostility, and it seemed that they regarded him as a scumbag who abandoned him after having sex.

Wait, it's obviously a misunderstanding!

Just when Xiaolin was at a loss and didn't know what to do, a voice came to his ears to save him.

"Haaah...I can't stand it anymore."

"Hui, Huihui?!"

The familiar little loli voice, after seeing her, Youyou was stunned.

Huihui said with a hint of helplessness: "Really, crying in front of everyone, you still call yourself my opponent?"

"Eh? Eh? Why is Huihui here?"

"Xiaolin asked me to come. He told me everything about you."

"All, everything... from where to where?"

"From the time Youyou felt lonely and wanted a friend, to how much useless effort you made for this, he told me everything."

"Xiao, Xiaolin! Why did you tell Huihui?!"

Youyou was so anxious that she burst into tears, and her cheeks were unnaturally red. It is normal to be like this when being seen in such an embarrassing state by a good friend.

"Wait, Huihui. I didn't say it was useless effort."

"Is that the problem?!"

Youyou cried even louder.

In response, Xiaolin could only explain awkwardly: "Yesterday when Sato-kun came to talk to me about this, Huihui happened to pass by, so... I'm sorry!"

Speaking out other people's weaknesses, even if it was not intentional, still made Youyou feel embarrassed, and the fault was still on Xiaolin.

"Haaa......"

Hui Hui sighed deeply, and said in a tone of regret: "I didn't expect that someone who claimed to be my opponent would need to rely on others to make friends, and he used such an annoying method... It's really annoying. Yes, it's annoying."

There was humiliation and ridicule.

Anyway, the little loli's voice was quite weird, as if she was deliberately bullying Youyou.

But in fact, not everyone is as socially phobic as her. To be honest, Xiaolin hopes that she can learn from Youyou in this regard.

Youyou, who didn't make any friends, said angrily: "Don't say it three times!"

Hui Hui continued to say in a weird tone: "For this annoying Youyou who claims to be my opponent, let me punish you!"

"You said it four times!"

Youyou hugged Xiaolin's arms even harder.

Is this torture?

In the field of social interaction, Hui Hui, who is at the top, verbally tortures Youyou at the bottom. Even with her short stature, she can overlook Youyou who is unable to make a move. It must be a strange pleasure psychologically.

And the weak, pitiful and helpless Youyou could only hug Xiaolin even harder.

Wait!

This softness...

Youyou, I unilaterally declare that you have already defeated Huihui, and you have won too much. It's just not in socializing, but in other aspects.

Huihui said, like a rich person giving alms to a poor person, "Hmph, are you unwilling? If you are unwilling, I can specially compete with you."

"Eh? Competition?"

"Yes, a competition. Do you want to compete? Or not?"

"Of course I will compete! I must make you admit defeat today!"

Hearing this word, Youyou immediately got excited.

Seeing Youyou recovering her spirit, Huihui's expression was a little bad, because she didn't do this on purpose, she said this just to hit Youyou harder.

Recovering spirit is a good thing.

But...

"Youyou, what about the friend increase campaign?"

"Sorry, I am forced to give priority to this now!"

She chose a good friend.

Youyou looked at Huihui excitedly and asked, "What will we use for the competition?"

"A tongue twister will do. Are you practicing too?"

Huihui said a strange competition item. What is a tongue twister? Is it a red carp, a green carp, and a donkey?

"Then I'll go first!"

The little girl made a strange pose, as if preparing for an attack, and said to Youyou, "Red paper roll, green paper roll, yellow paper roll!"

It's really this!

She finished speaking at a very fast speed, then shook the broken hair in front of her forehead and said proudly, "Humph, perfect."

"I, I won't lose either!"

Youyou clenched her fists. She and Huihui are both people who have a strange desire to win in competitions.

And then——

"Red paper roll, green paper roll, yellow shrimp! Ah woo woo woo~~~~"

Youyou bit her tongue.

It looks like Huihui won.

Well, she looks very happy... Let's leave it at that for now.

When Xiaolin looked helplessly at the two women who were competing, another scumbag in Axel who was as famous as Sato Kazuma, the real hidden boss Dust, staggered over. Just this stench, how much alcohol did he drink.

"Dust, it's still daytime."

"Burp~ What's the matter."

"You can't drink like that."

Xiaolin pinched his nose and took a step back, staring at him with disgust.

Even if he is a gangster scum, he can't be drunk every day, at least work for me to earn some money for his wife!

"Let's not talk about this first."

Dust waved his hand, then put his arm around Xiaolin's shoulders and said, "I didn't expect that Xiaolin, you are actually a master at picking up girls. The two girls who were jealous of you were actually subdued by you."

"What are you talking about?"

"Two girls are jealous of you."

"Because of whom?"

"Because of you."

"... Eh?"

Xiaolin was very confused and didn't understand what he was talking about at all.

However, Dust yelled, "Hey, stop hiding it! Didn't you take them to the dating place the day before yesterday and yesterday respectively? We all saw it. If it wasn't for jealousy, how could they compete?"

At this time, all the eyes in the guild were focused on him. There was envy, jealousy, disgust and thinking, which made Xiaolin shudder subconsciously.

"Damn, that guy..."

"I'm so envious!"

"Scumbag! Damn it!"

"FFF!"

Such remarks that would sentence him to death.

"Since Xiaolin doesn't mind..."

"Can we do it too?"

"After all, it's Xiaolin."

"It's a high-quality stock!"

There were also such whispers with ulterior motives to him.

Dust's drunken face, with an unspeakable smile: "Okay, just admit it, Xiaolin!"

"Wait, wait, you misunderstood! It's a misunderstanding! ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
