The moment she walked into the school, Sakuraba Qianxue suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

I didn't come to school for three days, but I suddenly began to feel that the surrounding scenery, things, people, and everything was so unfamiliar.

Without the confidence of money, without beautiful dress, and even light makeup, Sakuraba Qianxue felt like a soldier who had discarded his armor but still had to go to the battlefield, and his whole body was flawed.

The inferiority complex in my heart began to stir again.

Sakuraba Chiyuki shook her head, trying to stay calm.

She's been poor herself, but she's only been rich for a year... Now it's about going back in time, well, that's it.

Sakuraba Chiyuki was about to speed up her pace and move forward, but because she didn't pay attention to the road, she accidentally bumped into a pedestrian in front of her.

"Hug, I'm sorry." Sakuraba Qianxue subconsciously lowered her head and said.

"You're... Sakuraba? ”

"Hey, look, isn't this Sakuraba?"

"It's really... Hey, where's your bracelet? And the Gucci bag that you showed off to us before? How did you change to a regular school bag today? ”

"So a countryman is a countryman, he doesn't know any brand, he thinks that he is fashionable, and he seems to be rich... It's so funny~"

"Hey, why don't you speak? Well? ”

Sakuraba Chiyuki listened to these four familiar and disgusted voices, and recognized who they were for the first time.

It's my former classmates in the international class.

Sakuraba Chiyuki, who had just entered the class at the time, witnessed the scene of several of them bullying another girl in an ordinary class, and then stood up and pushed down two of them.

As a result, inexplicable rumors spread later, public opinion was formed, and no one knew that she helped a girl in an ordinary class, but everyone knew that she bullied several "weak" girls by herself.

And "weak" refers to these people in front of them.

If it was Sakuraba Qianxue before the change, maybe at this time there would be the courage and confidence to face them head-on.

After all, the family has money, and in this school, most things can actually be solved with money.

But now...

Sakuraba Chiyuki looked at the chains on their slender wrists, some diamond decorations on their uniforms, and the expensive bags they were carrying from different brands... Although it is a school, the school never imposes too many restrictions on the students in the international class.

So much so that they can dress up however they want.

Gorgeous, noble...

And now I...

"I'm sorry I bumped into you guys..."

"Huh? Did you hear her still apologize? ”

"What's the situation? Bankrupt at home? Hmm~ What should I do, then you hit me, my chest hurts so much, do you have to pay me for the medical expenses? ”

"How much is better, a million! Anyway, your family has money, so a million shouldn't be a problem, right? ”

"You're so bad, didn't you just guess if her family was bankrupt?"

"What's the matter with me? It's her who bumps into me, right? ”

Sakuraba Chiyuki felt her brain buzzing, and the continuous bad words turned out to be like this?

And... What I said to him seems to be millions of times worse than that...

How the hell did he endure it?

In just a few minutes, Sakuraba Qianxue felt that the blood in her heart was about to flow backwards, and she felt very angry, aggrieved, and helpless.

"Ahh It was boring, boring, walked away, and went back to class. ”

"yes~The toy is broken~"

"A puppet that doesn't resist is not a good puppet."

Sakuraba Qianxue slowly raised her head after they left, but her clenched fists couldn't be released.

She's angry.

But what are you angry about?

Because you were insulted just now?

Or is it because of yourself who has done all the wrong things before?

……

Walking into the classroom, as soon as Sakuraba Qianxue came in, many people would glance at her, but no one wanted to talk to her.

Because of her past publicity and personality, her image has been stereotyped in the class.

No one wants to take the initiative to approach her, and no one wants to chat with her and make friends.

Because she always gets involved in money-related things at every turn, she subconsciously wants to show off herself and show her confident side at every turn.

In the past, Sakuraba Qianxue was still a little puzzled why everyone didn't like her like this, but now because of the current situation, after calming down, many things can be looked at from a new perspective.

Or rather... This is the perspective of when you are poor.

Because I used to have an inferiority complex when I was poor, I would compensate myself in some ways after I became rich.

The more you lack something, the more you want to show what you have.

Superficial material abundance does not make up for the emptiness and barrenness of her heart.

After Sakuraba Chiyuki realized why everyone didn't like her and hated her, her regret was surging again, instantly crushing her originally calm expression.

When she has money and armor, she will feel that she still has room to spare, and she can face anything confidently, and it is not her fault that she can't make friends, it's just that fate hasn't arrived.

But once you lose this protective armor, after losing those filters and confidence, your own flaws will be infinitely magnified in your eyes.

Just like it is now.

Sakuraba Chiyuki feels like she's a good-for-nothing person, she doesn't study well, she has a bad temperament, she can't speak, and she still ... Deep in debt.

When I turned my head, I felt as if I was standing on a plane of nothingness, with nothing to see or touch around me.

Really, nothing.

…

Today Monday has a PE class.

During the physical education class, the teacher asked everyone to practice independently in groups, and Sakuraba Chiyuki stood in place and watched the pairs of girls leave from her side, and then looked at her shoes and her side.

The mood called loneliness is also slowly amplifying.

It's just that she didn't notice that a pink-haired figure not far behind her was also secretly observing her.

Ichiri Asaba came to school today, and when she saw Sakuraba Chiyuki, she actually wanted to apologize, and then give her back her guitar by the way.

But I couldn't find the right time... Or that Asaba Ichiri doesn't know what the right time is, and every time he wants to get up, he will soon retreat because of the small theater in his head, and finally he won't be able to do it.

…

Siesta.

Sakuraba Chiyuki has no band mates, and there is no one to have lunch with.

"Ahh

The cheapest green tea drink at the vending machine at the school costs 160 yen.

Where did she pay attention to these price things before?

So I could only endure hunger, sit alone in a corner, and quietly wait for the end of the lunch break.

And Ichiri Asaba originally wanted to apologize to her during the lunch break, but it turned out that he couldn't find anyone!

So it was put on hold again.

…

Hunger, loneliness, anger, and countless regrets.

In the afternoon, Sakuraba Qianxue felt that her whole body was in a daze, and she couldn't lift her spirits to go to class at all.

So she can only try to imagine what kind of life Akino lived in Saionji Temple before.

Are the feelings he has experienced now commonplace for him?

Hunger.

I asked my mother, and I used to give him only 5,000 yen a month.

He took his father's inheritance, but only gave him 5,000 yen.

Every time Sakuraba Chiyuki thinks about this, she feels extremely disgusted in her heart.

Five thousand yen a month... Wait, that's not pocket money, it's living expenses...

Five thousand yen... What can you do? Can you eat a full meal? I wouldn't have let him eat together at that time, so what was he doing?

Work? Or starving?

Imagining that Saionji Akino would squat in a corner and eat the air like herself today, her chest began to feel stuffy again.

Aloneness.

He used to be known as the Gloomy Man, and at school... Most of them don't have any friends, so these are two words that have always accompanied him.

How can you stand it? There is no one to talk to, and the grievances in my heart cannot be excreted ... Can only digest it on its own ...

Thinking of this, Sakuraba Chiyuki originally felt that her grievances were nothing.

Wrath.

That's what she gives.

Daily insults, disgust, false accusations... I can't count...

And he didn't fight back once, Sakuraba Chiyuki thought he was cowardly, but...

Saionji Akino's smile appeared in front of him, and so did those words...

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."Sakuraba Chiyuki subconsciously apologized.

Tears also unconsciously wet her white sleeves, leaving deep marks.

Slowly raised his head, and found that it was already afternoon school at this time, and in the classroom... No one else...

Today's duty is yourself...

Sakuraba Chiyuki wiped her tears, and when she was about to get up to clean up, Ichiri Asaba, who had been watching from behind, finally stopped her.

"Sakuraba-san..."

——

Suddenly, an alliance leader scared me...

After thinking about it carefully, plus 7 is a bit perfunctory.

Let's add a 4w word.

How much depends on the situation.

Only soft knives hurt the most...
