Restarting life, starting from bullying Pochi-chan

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri raised his eyes and looked over.

Kitahara Makoto said softly:

"I only bought a small cake for Auntie and not for Erli. If I let it slip one day, Erli will definitely cry, right?"

Goto Kazuri: "..."

Erli is only five years old this year. If she knew that I didn’t buy her a cake, she might really cry.

"Then... buy one?"

Goto Ichiri hesitated.

"Of course I will." Kitahara Makoto took the lead and walked towards a nearby convenience store, "I'll buy a cake for Xiaohua too."

Goto Ichiri hurriedly followed.

The two walked into the convenience store. Just like yesterday, there were basically not many customers at this time and the convenience store was quite deserted.

“What a pity…”

Kitahara Makoto looked around and suddenly sighed.

"Hey, what's wrong with Kitahara-san?"

Goto Ichiri raised his little face in confusion.

Kitahara Makoto looked regretful: "The yakuza uncle from last night didn't show up today."

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri blinked blankly, and after a few seconds, his little face suddenly turned red.

(The yakuza uncle who only met once would not make people regret it. Kitahara-san clearly wanted to take the opportunity to make friends...)

Goto Ichiri's face turned red, and he hurriedly hid his hands behind his back, then hid to the side.

Kitahara Makoto said without changing his expression:

"Let's go buy some cupcakes."

"what……"

After they each picked out their cupcakes, they walked towards the cashier.

Today's night shift cashier is a young woman who looks like a college student, with a clear look of stupidity in her eyes.

Just as he walked to the cashier counter, a small hand suddenly grabbed the corner of Kitahara Makoto's clothes and pulled it gently.

"what happened?"

Kitahara Makoto turned his head and looked at the little socially anxious kid behind him.

Goto Ichiri handed over the small cake pitifully and said, "Please, Kitahara-san, help me with the bill. I'll give you the money later."

Kitahara Makoto looked around and said speechlessly:

"There are only two of us today, do you want to try to pay the bill yourself?"

“No.” Goto Ichiri shook his head and raised his phone to send a message. “Checking out is so scary. The cashier will ask so many questions. Once I went to a convenience store and the cashier was so scary. I spoke too softly and the cashier couldn’t hear me clearly, so he kept asking me questions over and over again… It’s so scary! It’s still so scary when I think about it now!”

If she was alone, Pochi-chan might pay the bill herself if she had to, but now with Kitahara Makoto as her support, Goto Ichiri didn't want to confront the cashier at all.

"Then I'll pay the bill."

Kitahara Makoto took the small cake and said softly, "Ichiri-san, please wait for me outside."

"Uh-huh."

Goto Ichiri nodded quickly, as if he was a deserter who had been granted amnesty, and ran out of the convenience store.

After a while.

Kitahara Makoto paid the bill and walked out of the convenience store carrying two small cakes.

"Thank you Kitahara-san."

Goto Ichiri thanked him gratefully and handed over the prepared change with both hands.

Kitahara Makoto took the change and said casually:

"Next time you have to pay a bill, remember to call me to help you."

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri looked up in surprise.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, nothing..." Goto Ichiri quickly lowered his head and stammered, "I thought Kitahara-san would be like my mother and encourage me to be brave enough to pay the bill in the future."

"If you want to try, then Ichiri-san, then try. If you don't want to try, then that's fine." Kitahara Makoto said casually, "Everyone has their own personality and lifestyle. As long as you don't cause trouble to others, you don't need to force yourself to change."

"In my opinion, social phobia and introversion are never shortcomings."

Goto Ichiri raised his little face in surprise, looking over with sparkling eyes: "Kitahara-san, do you think I don't need to change?"

"Indeed, there is no need." Kitahara Makoto looked at Pochi-chan and said seriously, "There are people in this world who like to be lively, and of course there are people who like to be alone in peace and quiet. Whether you are socially anxious or introverted, as long as you don't feel bothered, there is no problem."

"As long as you have your own hobbies and interests, and a few good friends, you can still be very happy even if you are socially anxious and introverted your whole life."

"It is foolish to force yourself to change yourself in order to cater to other people's opinions."

Goto Ichiri's eyes sparkled: "But, but my mother said that my work will be very hard in the future..."

"Then find a job where you can work from home and try to have as little contact with others as possible." Kitahara Makoto raised an eyebrow and said, "The world is so big, not everyone has to work hard in the workplace. As long as you don't cause trouble to others, it doesn't matter if you lie down."

"Uh-huh."

Goto Ichiri nodded quickly.

Ever since watching those Japanese dramas that exposed the darkness of the workplace when he was a child, Goto Ichiri has developed a deep fear of society and work.

Absolutely not! I don’t want to work! Society is so terrible!

High school had just begun, and Goto Ichiri didn't have a clear plan for the future. He only knew that he would not be able to get into college with his academic performance, so he would probably have to work after graduating from high school...

But today, Goto Ichiri suddenly discovered a new path in life.

You don’t have to cause trouble to your parents, you don’t have to go out to work, and you don’t even have to go out and interact with others often.

That’s right, she is a very common housewife in Japan.

After graduating from high school, you can directly switch to being a housewife and you don’t have to go out to work in society!

Before this, the option of being a housewife had never entered Goto Ichiri's mind. After all, someone like herself, who was neither cute nor smart, would definitely not be popular and would most likely end up alone.

But now...

A future scene that he never dared to imagine appeared in his mind. Steam soon surged out of the little social-phobic guy's head, and even his body began to shake.

"Ichiri-san, what's wrong?"

Kitahara Makoto asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, it's okay..."

Goto Ichiri quickly hid his little head into his chest and didn't dare to look up at all.

Shameless!

How shameless!

We are all just freshmen in high school, it's too early to think about that kind of thing!

After a while.

A tram came on time.

"Yili, go pick up your aunt."

Kitahara Makoto waved his hand and hid in the corner like he did yesterday.

"Thank you Kitahara-san..."

Pochi-chan whispered a thank you, holding the small cake in both hands, and went to the platform to wait for Mrs. Goto.

Kitahara Makoto stood in the shadows and looked into the distance. Although Mrs. Goto said that she didn't need to answer it, she really smiled brightly when she saw Pochi-chan.

Needless to say, Kitahara Makoto secretly escorted Pochi-chan and his wife home. They had a safe journey and the windbreaker evil spirit did not appear.

After watching Pochi-chan walk into the house, Kitahara Makoto turned around and prepared to go home.

"It's time to see the African Oddbiao..."

Before I got home, my cell phone suddenly vibrated.

Kitahara Makoto took out his cell phone and his brows immediately raised.

Nagasaki Suyo: "...Kitahara-kun, that evil spirit is coming!"

Chapter 120 Kitahara-kun, you really saw everything yesterday, didn’t you?

"Kitahara-kun, I saw that evil spirit again!"

"I just came out of the shower and it was standing in the living room, smiling at me... I'm hiding in the bathroom now and I don't dare to go out at all."

You can feel the nervousness of the black-bellied young lady between the lines:

"Kitahara-kun, what should we do now?"

If possible, she actually didn't want to contact Kitahara Makoto at all.

It’s been less than two days since the incident of exposing myself at the amusement park, and I still feel so ashamed when I think about it now.

But there was no way. Compared with the terrible evil spirit, the girl's sense of shame was nothing.

Seeing the messages popping up one after another on his phone, Kitahara Makoto stopped immediately:

"Hold steady, don't panic. The weak evil spirit can only scare you in various ways in the early stages, but it can't cause you any substantial harm for the time being. It's best to pretend you can't see it."

Nagasaki Suyo: “…”

How can I not panic?

I was so scared when playing in a haunted house that I was trembling with fear. Now that a real evil spirit has come to my door, I wonder if I can remain calm!

Nagasaki Suyo bit her lower lip:

"Excuse me, could you please come over here now, Kitahara-kun?"

"I really don't know what to do on my own. I can only ask Kitahara-kun for help now."

Kitahara Makoto hesitated: "It's already past nine in the evening. If I go there so late, it will be difficult to explain to my uncle and aunt, right?"

Nagasaki Suyo quickly replied: "It's okay, my father is out of town discussing business, and my mother is at a party at a friend's house and won't be home tonight, so I'm the only one at home."

Kitahara Makoto: "That's great, send me the address and I'll be there right away."

There is no other way. The evil spirit is coming to the door of the black-hearted young lady. I can't just stand by and watch her die. It is reasonable to go there.

Nagasaki Suyo quickly sent the address over: "Kitahara-kun, just take a taxi over here, I'll pay the bill."

Kitahara Makoto: "I can do it myself. Don't hide at home, or you'll scare yourself. Go downstairs and wait for me in a crowded place."

Nagasaki Suyo: "I, I understand."

"..."

Twenty minutes later.

Kitahara Makoto got out of the taxi with a painful look on his face.
