Multiverse: You Said Chuunibyou, But You're Playing for Real?

"It's him!"

Hitori Goto, curled up in the cardboard box, trembled.

Immediately, a pink blush quickly spread from her cheeks, covering her entire face.

What happened on the train yesterday had made her so shy that she couldn't sleep all night.

Because of this, she had inexplicably developed a psychological shadow toward someone as socially forward as Haru.

So when Yui Hirasawa, another socially forward person, came looking for her, she immediately got scared and hid in the box.

If yesterday's incident hadn't happened, Hitori Goto might have been too nervous to speak, but she wouldn't have directly hidden in a box.

Now that Haru had actually come looking for her, Hitori Goto became even more nervous, determined never to leave the box.

Meanwhile, Yui Hirasawa, hearing the voice beside her, couldn't help but freeze.

Then she looked up and immediately saw a handsome face.

"This classmate is so handsome."

Seeing this face, Yui Hirasawa was a bit starstruck, but then, remembering his words, she panicked:

"Oh no, oh no, Goto-san's friend came over. He won't think I'm bullying Goto-san, will he!"

Seeing Hitori Goto like this, anyone would suspect they were bullying her.

Frightened, Yui Hirasawa hurriedly bowed and blurted out her true thoughts:

"I'm sorry! I just wanted to learn guitar from Goto-san. I wasn't bullying Goto-san. Please don't misunderstand."

"You want to learn guitar from Pochita?"

Haru's mouth twitched. What the hell was this unexpected development?

"I really only came here for that purpose."

Thinking Haru didn't believe her, Yui Hirasawa explained with a panicked face, "I'm a guitar beginner, currently being taught by club members, but I can't always trouble them, so when I saw Goto-san who can play guitar, I wanted to get to know her and learn from her."

"Wuu—I really had this intention. Please believe me, classmate!"

Yui Hirasawa mistakenly thought she was being treated as a bad person, and Haru's expressionless face made her think he didn't believe her explanation, immediately scaring her to the point of tears.

Wuu wuu wuu, Ritsu-chan, Mio-chan, Tsumugi-chan, please come save me.

She was terrified.

"Alright, alright, I believe you."

Seeing that Yui Hirasawa was about to cry, Haru quickly said with amusement.

"Really?"

Yui Hirasawa's eyes lit up, and she immediately showed grateful expression toward Haru while choking back tears, "Wuu wuu wuu, it's so good that you believe me. You're really a good person."

You're the good person here.

Haru's face stiffened slightly, but he still patiently prepared to explain.

After all, just moments ago, the system had already sent a notification that this airhead Yui was also someone with special qualifications.

"You don't need to worry. Goto-san just has some social anxiety, which is why she's hiding in the box."

Haru smiled and explained to Yui Hirasawa, then gently kicked the box at his feet:

"Pochita, you heard that too. This classmate wants to learn guitar from you. Can you come out for a moment?"

Yui Hirasawa nervously looked toward the box. She just wanted Hitori Goto to come out of the box quickly, otherwise she really couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

However, Hitori Goto had already decided not to come out, mainly because she didn't dare face Haru.

As an innocent girl, being hugged by a boy she met for the first time for ten minutes was too stimulating. Hitori Goto's thin skin couldn't handle it.

"Sorry, classmate. It looks like Pochita doesn't dare come out while you're here."

Haru smiled slightly at Yui Hirasawa, "How about you leave for a moment, and I'll talk to Pochita."

The main reason is you! Hitori Goto wailed in her heart while hiding in the box.

Thinking about having to face Haru alone after Yui Hirasawa left made her even more nervous, wanting to immediately jump out and ask that Hirasawa classmate to stay.

However—

"I see..."

Yui Hirasawa was a bit disappointed. If Hitori Goto didn't come out, she really couldn't feel at ease.

But she also didn't want Hitori Goto to keep hiding in the box, so she could only look at Haru pleadingly and say: "Then I'll leave first. Please make sure to explain clearly to Goto-san."

After speaking, she turned and left the classroom with her guitar on her back.

"Wuu wuu wuu, I'm doomed!"

In the box, Hitori Goto heard Yui Hirasawa's departing footsteps and regretted it so much that tears came out.

She should have come out earlier.

Now only Haru was left.

What should she do now?

"Pochita?"

Haru looked at the cardboard box at his feet with an amused expression, trying to get Hitori Goto to come out first.

However, there was no response from inside the cardboard box.

"This is problematic."

Haru stroked his chin.

Hitori Goto not coming out wouldn't work. Otherwise, what about his task?

"I've got it."

Haru's eyes lit up as he immediately knew how to convince Hitori Goto to come out of the box, so he smiled slightly: "Pochita, if you don't come out, your best chance to become popular is going to disappear."

Whoosh! Hitori Goto instantly appeared in front of Haru, her blue eyes staring intently at him, saying extremely nervously:

"Be-become popular?"

Becoming popular was Hitori Goto's lifelong dream that she had been yearning for since childhood.

Even practicing guitar diligently was to become popular.

Hearing that she actually had such an opportunity, she couldn't care about being shy anymore and immediately jumped out.

But after speaking, seeing Haru's face, the shame immediately regained the high ground, making her pretty face turn crimson again as she quickly lowered her head.

But thinking about the chance to become popular, Hitori Goto still endured the shame in her heart and didn't hide back in the cardboard box.

"Before that, let's first do what we should do."

Haru looked at Hitori Goto with a grin.

"What we should do?" Hitori Goto was stunned. What was the thing they should do?

"Eh? Pochita, did you forget?" Haru acted surprised instead, "Didn't you promise yesterday to help me control my sense of smell?"

"Wait—wait!" Hitori Goto immediately knew what Haru wanted to do, her face burning hot as she shook her little head like a rattle, "No no no no—absolutely not—"

Hitori Goto wanted to cry. Hadn't they already hugged? Why did they still need to do that kind of thing?

"Pochita, you can't go back on something you promised a friend."

Haru deliberately put on a stern face and said to Hitori Goto, "If others find out that Pochita is someone who doesn't keep her word, Pochita won't be able to become popular."

"Wuu—can't become popular?" Hitori Goto's crimson face immediately froze, and her lips began to tremble.

No, that was her dream.

Immediately, Hitori Goto was torn to the extreme.

Seeing Hitori Goto like this, Haru felt a bit guilty.

"I've completely become a villain, haven't I, deliberately scaring her."

Haru thought guiltily.

But to get Hitori Goto to gather courage, acting like a villain seemed to be the best method.

"Whatever, villain it is. I'm also doing this to complete the task—no, I'm also doing this to help Pochita become popular, so I'm deliberately pretending to be a villain."

Thinking of this, Haru immediately decided that in front of Pochita, this villain act had to continue.
