Angel Beats! – Track Zero

Chu Ling always thought she was just naturally bad at making friends.
Until one day, a system suddenly dropped into her life and told her she was actually a hated cannon fodder side character in a modern entertainment novel.
Chu Ling: Got it. I need to fix my public image.
System: Nope. You actually need to keep making people hate you to stay in character.
Chu Ling: Huh? Only an idiot would—
System: For every wave of negative emotions caused by you, we’ll deposit real money as a reward.
Chu Ling: —Thank you for the opportunity. I am that idiot. I’m all in.
Chu Ling joined a dating show and basically started swinging at everyone on screen. Her specialty? Not letting a single soul have peace.
A male guest with a “literary genius” persona gave her a heartfelt confession.
Chu Ling smiled sweetly: “Nice script. Shame the plagiarism check came back 90 percent. Better luck next time.”
Another rich-boy guest kept showing off in subtle ways.
Chu Ling rolled her eyes: “Bro, your fake watch is blinding me. Can you stop checking the time every ten seconds?”
A female guest gently asked her not to compete for the same guy since she already liked him.
Chu Ling gave her a pitying look: “Sweetheart, not everyone has taste as questionable as yours, alright?”
After racking up massive hatred across the internet, Chu Ling casually opened her account balance and sipped her tea: “Thank you, everyone. I humbly accept your criticism ^^”
But then, netizens slowly realized…
Her comebacks actually made sense.
She shut down toxic fans, exposed s*umbags, and snapped lovesick girls out of their delusions.
She wasn’t just stirring trouble — she was the mouthpiece of justice the internet didn’t know it needed.
A few episodes later…
Netizen A: Why hasn’t Chu Ling roasted anyone in so long?!
[You received ¥10,000.] 
Netizen B: I used to find her so annoying, but after the last two episodes, I kinda want to become a fan. Is this curable?
[You received ¥50,000.] 
Netizen C: Chu-jie! Without you, who’s gonna deal with all these tr*sh men?! Please come back!
[You received ¥100,000.] 
Chu Ling (dazed): …Wait, no one told me that missing someone, feeling conflicted, and pining for love also count as negative emotions?
A man who tossed and turned, unable to sleep at night due to a secret crush: Hmm… why doesn’t it count?

One day, while going to his “secret” scrapyard to gather some spare parts, he saw a girl playing an abandoned piano there. Somehow, the music had caused the junks to resonate, creating an illusion of a junkyard symphony. He was mesmerized by the familiar sounding melody, but he could not remember the tune. Just then, the girl noticed him, and called him a pervert/stalker. She then requested him to forget about the incident.
Back at home, Naomi realized that she is the piano prodigy Mafuyu Ebisawa, who had vanished from the music scene for some unknown reason. He met her soon again, with Mafuyu as the transfer student of his class. She declared to the class that there is no need to know her too well, since she will be gone soon.

However, he soon realized the shocking truth behind Mafuyu’s reason for disappearing from the piano scene and playing the guitar.
