Restarting life, starting from bullying Pochi-chan

Holding hands in front of so many guests is impossible, no matter what!

"Well then." Kitahara Makoto said with regret, "Let's talk about it after we finish eating ramen."

As he was talking, Kitahara Makoto suddenly smelled a wisp of fragrance passing by his nose. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a beautiful girl with ponytail, blonde hair and red eyes passing by him, and then sat down in an empty seat not far from him.

"Koizumi-san, what kind of ramen would you like to eat today?"

A short-haired girl with an energetic voice asked with her head tilted.

"Natto Reya Cheese Kimchi Ramen."

"Hey, hey, is this ramen with such a long name really delicious?"

"Ah."

"Since it's recommended by Koizumi-san, I want one too!"

"..."

Listening to the conversation between the two girls, Kitahara Makoto's expression quickly became subtle.

Blonde hair, red eyes, loves ramen, looks like a Sanri doll... Is this the ramen-loving classmate Koizumi?

I randomly came to a ramen restaurant and unexpectedly met the legendary Koizumi classmate... I felt like I had opened an Easter egg.

Kitahara Makoto quickly retracted his gaze and stopped looking at her, let alone thinking of striking up a conversation.

As soon as she arrived, Pochi-chan was sitting next to her, and it was too much for her to flirt with other girls in front of her, a little girl with social anxiety.

Secondly, Koizumi-san only has ramen in his eyes, and he probably won’t respond to anyone’s approach.

Finished eating ramen.

The next step is naturally to pay the bill at the front desk.

"How much is the total?"

The down-and-out young lady took out her wallet and prepared to pay the bill. One should keep one's word and of course one should not go back on one's word when one says he will treat someone.

The waiter smiled and said, "Hello, the total bill for the three of you is 4,500 yen."

"Please wait."

When Shoko Toyokawa opened her wallet and saw the balance inside, her pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Embarrassed.

Super embarrassing!

I've been haunted by ghosts during this period and have forgotten many things. Now when I was ready to pay the bill, I realized that I didn't have enough money in my wallet.

Although she said, "I am dead because I am weak," but at this moment, in public, she still felt hot on her face because she had no money to pay the bill after dinner.

"Toyokawa-san." Kitahara Makoto calmly handed over a piece of Fukuzawa Yukichi, "Your money just fell."

The down-and-out young lady looked up with a complicated expression, opened her pink lips, then took Fukuzawa Yukichi and whispered:

"…Thank you Kitahara-san."

After paying the bill.

The three of them walked out of the ramen restaurant. Outside, the sky was already filled with stars and the lights were dim.

"Come to my house quickly!"

As soon as they stepped onto the street, the ghost girl's voice rang out impatiently.

Kitahara Makoto and the other two didn't waste any time. They got on the train and headed straight for the address given by the ghost girl.

After half an hour.

The three of them came to a wealthy area and soon found the Fukada family villa. Unfortunately, the villa was pitch black. Kitahara Makoto went forward and pressed the doorbell, but there was no response.

"It looks like no one is home." Kitahara Makoto shrugged, "We can only wait and see."

"Um..." Goto Ichiri raised his little hand and said weakly, "Why didn't you call?"

Ghost Girl: "I'm sorry, I forgot the phone number a long time ago."

"..."

There was no one in the villa and no way to contact them, so the three of them could only choose to wait there.

Time passed quietly.

As the night deepened, Goto Ichiri felt the chill in his body grow thicker, his limbs began to slowly stiffen, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Ichiri-san, hold out your hand."

Kitahara Makoto suddenly said in a deep voice.

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri looked up blankly and subconsciously stretched out his right hand.

Kitahara Makoto held the little socially anxious kid's hand with a righteous look on his face: "Don't move. I'll help you replenish your yang energy."

"Eh eh eh?!"

As his little hand was held, Goto Ichiri finally reacted. His slightly pale face instantly turned red, almost bleeding, and steam was gushing out from his head.

Chapter 10: It is impossible to work, but if you can get a rich woman, get one

"…There's a bench over there. Let's sit down and take a rest."

Kitahara Makoto looked righteous as he led Xiao Shekong towards a bench not far away.

So slippery.

The girl's skin is super delicate and silky.

so small.

Holding it in my hand, it was so small that I didn't even know how to resist.

If you pinch it hard, this Pochi-chan will definitely cry loudly, right?

Compared to Kitahara Makoto's ease and naturalness, Goto Ichiri felt dizzy. He looked down at the ground in panic, his limbs stiff as if he had turned into a wooden man. He even forgot how to speak, and only steam gushed out from his head. He had completely evolved into a steam princess.

(I was held hand by a boy...!!!)

Xiao She sat on the bench dizzy, his head feeling dizzy and the sounds around him faded away. However, his heartbeat was faster and clearer than ever before, beating non-stop in his ears.

(This is the first time I hold hands with a boy other than my dad...)

(Kitahara-san’s hands are so big…)

(Also, also… so good, so comfortable…)

Goto Ichiri could clearly feel that there was a constant flow of warmth coming from Kitahara Makoto's palm, which quickly dispelled the coldness in her body, just like a traveler who was trekking alone in a cold winter night and suddenly encountered a blazing bonfire. She felt indescribably warm and comfortable all over, as if every pore in her body was relaxed.

(It’s always cold when I sleep at night. It would be great if Kitahara-san could hold my hand all the time…)

(Aaaaaaah!)

(Kitahara-san is holding my hand to help me, don’t let your imagination run wild!)

(I am so dark and useless, Kitahara-san doesn't want to hold my hand at all...right?)

(Wait, wait… My palms seem to be sweating. Will Kitahara-san be disgusted?)

(I’m sure I’ll be disliked…)

(People like me should really hide in a cardboard box on the roadside to avoid causing trouble to others...)

Time slipped away quietly like this.

I don’t know how long it was before a car suddenly drove over, but unfortunately it didn’t stop, but drove away directly.

Goto Ichiri came back to his senses and hastily pulled his hand out, his voice as soft as a mosquito's hum:

"It's ok now. I don't feel any discomfort at all..."

"That's good."

Kitahara Makoto knew when to stop. Given Pochi-chan's shy personality, today's contact had clearly reached its limit.

"call……"

Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to look up to see anyone. He put his legs together, sat upright, then took out his cell phone and started playing with it.

Time continued to pass, and as the night deepened, Goto Ichiri's face gradually became more restless.

"what happened?"

Kitahara Makoto asked softly.

"Well, that..." Goto Ichiri hesitated for a while, and then whispered, "It's almost nine o'clock, and my mother sent me a message asking me why I haven't come home yet..."

"It's really late." Kitahara Makoto nodded, "It's normal for your mother to be worried."

This Pochi-chan has never had any friends since she was a child, and she can't even find an excuse to stay over at a friend's house.

Kitahara Makoto pondered for a few seconds, then said:

"Well, Ichiri-san, go home first."

Goto Ichiri bit his lower lip and said hesitantly:

“But, but Fukada-senpai…”

"It's uncertain whether Ghost Senior's parents will come back tonight. We can't just sit there and wait. If we can't see them today, we can always come again tomorrow." Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow and said, "... Ghost Senior, what do you say?"

The ghost girl floated out of Pochi-chan's body, her expression obviously full of resentment.

Ask me what I say?

If I say no, I will be beaten!

"Master Kitahara is right." The ghost girl said with resentment, "I have already waited for ten years. It doesn't matter if I wait one more day... There is no rush."

"Then, I'll go home first..."

Only then did Goto Ichiri agree and prepare to go home.

"Wait a moment." Kitahara Makoto took out his cell phone, handed it to the socially phobic kid, and said softly, "Let's exchange contact information. It's late now, and I'm a little worried about Ichiri going back alone... Send me a message when you get home."

“Okay, okay…”

Goto Ichiri agreed subconsciously.

After taking out my cell phone, I suddenly realized that this was the first time I exchanged contact information with someone.

(Only friends would exchange contact information... So, Kitahara and I are already friends, right?)

(Hey, I finally made a friend!)

After exchanging contact information, the three of them walked towards the tram station together.

As for the ghost girl, as she is an earthbound spirit, they will naturally let her wander back to Tsukinomori Academy on her own. The three of them will go over to help after school tomorrow.

"I'm going home first."

Goto Ichiri waved his hand and stepped briskly onto the train.

Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand to tuck up the black hair beside her ears and said in a cold voice:

"Kitahara-san, thank you so much for today...see you tomorrow."

The next moment, the ghost girl suddenly stopped in front of her:

"Toyokawa-san, let's make a deal?"

Toyokawa Shoko paused, her brows furrowed slightly:

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want to wait until tomorrow, not even a second longer, I just want to see my parents right away." The ghost girl said in a disappointed tone, "I have saved a lot of New Year's money since I was a child, at least 10 million yen, all in a bank card... I was eating ramen in the noodle shop before, Toyokawa-san is actually very short of money, right?"

"As long as you are willing to let me possess you and help me see my parents, I will give you all my pocket money as a thank you!"

Kitahara Makoto looked over in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be a rich woman."
