Chapter 3 Twins and Braised Pork
It seems that he had decided to change seats every month, so the squad leader Asakura Sulfona put a four-fold piece of paper into the biscuit jar as a lottery for everyone to draw. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoSome people want to sit with their friends and get into a fight. Asakura Sona smiled and asked everyone for a drink after gym class, quelling the war. In the face of her plea to fold her hands, everyone retreated regardless of gender. Although half of the reason for this war is that they don't want to sit with Haruhi, and the other half wants to sit with Sulfona. Finally I moved to the penultimate seat by the window facing the atrium. And who is the last seat behind me? That's right, it's Haruhi Suzumiya with a stinky face at this time!
"Why is it that there is no such excitement as the disappearance of students one after another, or the murder of teachers in classrooms that form secret rooms? Our school may have been built by some famous architect. β
"Don't say that kind of scaring thing!"
"I've been to the Reasoning Workshop. β
"Huh, and then?"
"It's a laughing thing! So far, there hasn't been a decent incident at all. Moreover, the members of the club are just fans of detective mystery novels, and there are no decent detectives at all! When they saw me, they gathered around me and piled a book in my face, which was so boring. There isn't even a magnifying glass, a pipe, or a crowbar in the whole club classroom, can you believe it?"
"It should all be like this. β
"I was looking forward to the paranormal workshop. β
"Really?"
"I didn't expect it to be all mystic fanatics. A group of people told me that this was a city guarded by aliens, and that there were many UFO sightings. I asked them to show the pictures, but they said they were eyewitnesses, not cameras. Do they really understand what the sighting report means? Do you think it's going to be interesting for a community like this?"
"I don't think so. β
"Ah, really, it's so boring! Why doesn't this school have any fun clubs?"
"If you don't have it, you can't help it. β
"I thought there would be some super exciting club in high school! Alas, it's like wanting to go to Koshien with great ambition, but only to find that the high school you attended didn't have a baseball club at all. Like a woman who has made up her mind to visit a hundred temples and prepares to cast a curse, Kasuga looks at the sky with resentful eyes and spits out a sigh like a north wind.
Should I pity her?
In general, I don't know what kind of club Kasuga prefers. Maybe she doesn't even know much about herself! She just said lightly, "I want to do something interesting," but what exactly is a "fun thing"? Is it to solve murders, to find aliens, or to slay demons? I don't think she has an answer.
"If you don't have it, you can't help it. β
I speak my mind.
"As far as the outcome is concerned, humanity will be content with the status quo. People who cannot rest on their laurels will use inventions or discoveries to promote the development of civilization. If you want to fly in the sky, you can build an airplane, and if you want to move easily, you can invent a car and a train. However, it is only because of the talents and inventions of some people, and only geniuses can make those ideas possible. As mortals, it is best to spend our lives in mediocrity, and it is better not to suddenly emerge with an adventurous spirit that does not match our identity. β
"Don't be instigated. β
Kasuga interrupted what I thought was a good speech, and turned her face away. It seems that she is in a really bad mood. But she's like that a lot anyway, and I'm used to it. This girl probably doesn't care about anything unless it's a strange phenomenon beyond this boring real life. However, there is probably no such phenomenon in this world. Yes, not really.
Long live the laws of physics! Thanks to you, we can live our lives in peace. Although this is a little embarrassing for Kasuga.
I'm normal like this, right?
Something must have sparked this.
Maybe it's the above conversation!
It came so suddenly!
The warm sun was drowsy, and just as I was shaking my head and dozing off, a powerful force suddenly grabbed me by the collar and pulled me back. I was so hard that the scoop on the back of my head hit the corner of the table, and tears immediately burst out of my eyes.
"What are you doing?"
I turned my head angrily, but I didn't expect to find Haruhi Suzumiya, who was holding me by the collar, with a smile as bright as the sun above the equator!
"I thought of it!"
Hey, don't squirt saliva!
"Why didn't I even notice such a simple thing before?"
Kasuga's eyes sparkled, and she looked like a commander who had thought of a new battle plan, staring directly at meβand I, the toy soldier in her hand. In desperation, I had no choice but to ask:
"What the hell is coming to mind?"
"If not, just make your own!"
"What?"
"Society!"
There was a sudden stabbing pain in the head, but it didn't seem to be due to the fact that he had just knocked down the corner of the table.
"Really? That's a great idea. Can you let me go?"
"What's your reaction, you should be happier!"
"I'll listen to you later. I just hope you'll think about the occasion and share your joy with me. Now calm down, shall we?"
"What do you mean?"
"Because it's still in class. β
Kasuga finally let go of my collar. I pressed my head, which was a little numb, and turned around slowly, only to find that the whole class was looking very surprised, and the rookie teacher who had just graduated from college with chalk in his hand on the stage was looking at me with a look on his face that was about to cry.
I motioned for Haruhi behind me to sit down quickly, and then held out my palm-facing hands to the poor English teacher.
I respectfully ask the teacher to continue the class. It's all because this guy is too ignorant, I must educate her well.
I heard Haruhi behind me muttering something, so I reluctantly sat down. Then the female teacher continued to write on the blackboard......
Form a new club?
Well......
She shouldn't have counted me in the book, right?
The dull pain in the back of the head keeps announcing this bad premonition.
Soon, my hunch came true. As soon as class ended, Haruhi grabbed me by the hand and dragged me out of my seat. Oh my God, I didn't want to compete with the girls, but when I was about to be dragged to the door of the classroom, I tried to resist, but I couldn't resist Haruhi. Why does her slender wrist have so much strength?At this moment, Asakura Sulfona, who had a man's dream hairstyle, appeared leisurely on my right side, and I looked at her with pleading eyes.
The class leader, maybe not the class leader, all in all, save me.
Asakura collected the distress message in my eyes, thought for a moment, and put two pieces of candy in my pocket. She smiled and waved at me, as if to say, "You have a very close relationship with your friends, and I want to be a good friend with Kasuga-san in the future, and I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart!"
Hey, didn't you understand what I was looking at?
I was pulled by Kasuga through the hallway, up the stairs, and didn't stop until the door to the roof.
The door is usually locked, and the stairwell above the fourth floor is almost used as a warehouse by the art club. Large canvases, frames that are almost broken, statues of the god of war with a missing nose, etc., are piled up in this small stairwell, making the already small space even more cramped and gloomy.
What did she want to do to me when she brought me here? If you look at the classification of the abuser and the abuser, I must be the abuser. But if someone else sees me leading a girl here, I'm sure I'll be considered a criminal.
"I want your help. β
At this moment, Haruhi grabbed my tie and said. Her sharp gaze shot at me slightly lower in the head, making me feel like she was threatening me.
"What do you want me to help with?"
I deliberately played dumb.
"Help me form a new club!"
"Okay, then tell me first, why did I help you with this idea that came to me on this spur of the moment?"
"Because I want to make sure that there are clubs and clubs, you have to prepare the written materials that you have to submit to the school. β
They weren't listening to me at all. I know, I know, there's no scene in Haruhi's mind where I'm going to rebel at all. She saw me as her soldier, bold, obedient, and, more loyal.
I shook off Kasuga's hand.
"What club are you going to form?"
"It doesn't matter whatever! Anyway, just get a new club out first. β
I doubt that the school will allow us to form a club with unknown activities.
"Listen to Luo, before school today, go to me to investigate. I'm going to find a club class, okay?"
No! If I answered like that, I would have been killed on the spot. If I think about it, if Haruhi yells here, will I be regarded as a **** and achieve a great social death? I heard that the principal has started to hold a summit constructive meeting with his counterparts in Dongkoku to discuss the issue of Haruhi Suzumiya. So, if Kasuga and I were found here, I might also be labeled as a weirdo, and I would have achieved another wonderful social death.
Just as I was hesitating to answer, Kasuga had already turned and gone downstairs, leaving behind a boy who didn't know how to be nice. Standing alone in the dusty stairwell.
ββ¦β¦ I haven't even said yes yet......"
Alas, this was useless to say to the plaster statue, so he could only drag his heavy steps, thinking about how to explain to his curious classmates as he walked.
Rules for the establishment of the "Friendship Club":
The number of people must be more than 5 people. In order to determine the advisor, name, person in charge, and content of the activity, it is also necessary to obtain permission from the Student Association Management Committee. The content of the activity should be in line with the spirit of creativity and vitality of the campus. After that, the Management Committee will propose whether it can be upgraded to a "Study Group" based on the status of its activities and actual performance. In addition, during the period of the club, the school does not allocate any budget.
There is no need to look it up at all, because it is written in the back of the student handbook.
The number of people can even be borrowed to register, and there is no big problem. And although it is difficult to find a consultant, it should still be possible to find a way to kidnap someone to do it. The club will also take a name that will not be found by the school, and as for the person in charge, needless to say, it must be a spring day.
However, I can guarantee that the content of our activities will never match the "creative and energetic school spirit".
That being said, Haruhi Suzumiya wouldn't have paid attention to these rules in the first place! If the school obstructed her, she would definitely fight the school to the end. Until now, she has not violated the school rules, and it definitely does not show that she is a good child, only that the school rules perfectly avoid the sensitive points of spring. Otherwise, the newspaper will soon run a second story of mysterious graffiti on campus, or the horrific news of a teenage girl who has gone on a hunger strike after making a big fuss at school.
It's great that nothing has happened so far.
As the school bell rang, Haruhi pulled the sleeve of my sports jacket with a terrible brute force, and then quickly pulled me out of the classroom almost as if he were kidnapping me. It took a lot of effort for me to keep my bag from being abandoned in the classroom.
"Where are you going?"
"Club classrooms. β
Haruhi, who was so imposing that he almost kicked away the slow-moving crowd in front of him, closed his mouth after a brief conversation. Please, at least let go of my hand first!
Through the hallway to the first floor, then into another building, then up the stairs, and then on the way down the dimly lit hallway, Kasuga stopped. Of course, I also stopped.
There's a door in front of me.
Literary Society.
The door number with these words written on it was skewed to the door.
"This is it. β
Kasuga opened the door without knocking and walked in unceremoniously. Of course, I followed her in.
The classroom was surprisingly spacious, perhaps because there was only a long desk, steel tube chairs, and steel bookshelves. Two or three cracks in the ceiling and walls give a clear idea of how old the building is. As if an accessory to the house, a young girl sat alone in a steel tube chair, reading a rather heavy hardcover book. In fact, this classroom is full of books. As soon as the bookshelves overflowed, the momentum of the bookshelf filled my eyes, and it was more like a bookstore than a literary club.
"From now on, this will be our club classroom. β
Kasuga opened his hands and solemnly introduced. Her face lit up with that bright smile, if only she could see it so often in the classroom. Although I thought so, I didn't dare to say it.
"Wait a minute, what the hell is this place?"
"The building of the cultural society. There seems to be an art club, a wind club, an art classroom, and a music room in the building. Some clubs or clubs that do not have special classrooms to use are gathered in this building, commonly known as the Old Building. And this classroom is owned by the Art Society. β
"What about the Art Society?"
"After graduating from the third grade this spring, the number of members is equal to zero, and there are not enough new members to recruit, so the art club decided to close. By the way, she is the only new member in the first grade. β
"I haven't closed the club at all!"
"It's close! There is only one one-person club, which means that there is no one at all!"
You idiot! Are you trying to rob someone else's club classroom? I glanced at the literary girl who was sitting at the table reading a book.
She was a girl with glasses and short hair. Kasuga has been arguing like this, but she hasn't even raised her head, so I can't see her face clearly. Except for the occasional flip through a book with her fingers, her whole being is almost static, completely oblivious to our existence. It seems that she is also a weird girl!
"I said, is that all right?" I cautiously approached her.
"No problem, no problem. β
Kasuga said heartlessly, please, it's not you at all that I'm asking!
The girl who heard my question raised her head, then nodded at a subtle angle, and I was startled at the sight of her face.
"Isn't this Asakura-san?"
Asakura stared at me all the time, and it made me feel furious. Her touching eyes, the rounded curvature of her cheeks, and her slightly exposed white neck are all our class leaders, Asakura-san.
"Ah, I was startled when I first saw her. Kasuga sat casually on a stack of books, as unscrupulous as if he had made it his home, "but it soon became clear to me that it just looked alike, you seeβthe atmosphere was very different, wasn't it?"
Indeed, in the end, the girl in front of her was too quiet. And Asakura's trademark smile didn't appear on her cheeks, so her charm was about forty percent less lethal to me. Besides, if it was that common sense-minded Asakura-san, it would be impossible for Kasuga to take away his club classroom at will, and he would not sit here and flip through the books without saying anything.
I approached her and began to talk to her.
"This guy was so rude just now, I apologize to you. I'm Ah Xu, may I ask your classmates ...... you?"
βSulfona. β
I stood up all at once.
"Hey, isn't this Sulfona? She admitted it herself, okay! Don't think I can't recognize it with a pair of glasses!"
Unexpectedly, the girl who claimed to be Sulfona pulled my cuffs.
"I'm Sulfona, but not Asakura. β
I refocused my eyes on her. Indeed, although the face is almost identical, this girl has short hair that does not care about the dreams of men. And the color of the hair is also subtly a little purple. I don't believe that Asakura could dye her hair short and then put on her glasses and sit here to play a prank on me. But, seriously, if she did it, I might have confessed to her.
Kasuga twisted my backswing hard behind me.
"How many times have I said that she is not Asakura. Why do you listen to her, but you don't listen to me at all?"
Hey, Miss, your words don't make sense. Here, it's obvious that my words are much more convincing than yours.
"Besides, you can't feel it yourself, the atmosphere is completely different. β
Kasuga said as she walked up to Sulfur and put her hand between Sulfur and the book in her hand. Sulfona still kept her head down and didn't say a word. Kasuga found that Sulfura didn't react, and began to get worse. One moment she tied several dead knots with the flat scarf in front of Sulfona, and then slapped wildly next to Sulfona's ear. I watched in amazement at Haruhi's atrocities, which were already terrible bullying no matter how I thought about it. But Sulfona remained motionless like a stone Buddha, seemingly completely undisturbed by the spring and continuing to read.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm showing you, you see she's not Asakura!"
"Yes, yes, she's not, so you'd better hurry up and stop!"
Kasuga breathed a long sigh of relief, as if commanding his soldiers to win a difficult war, and sat down on a stack of books. Why does it seem that the bully is more tired than the bullied! As the so-called slap does not make a sound, I couldn't help but turn my eyes to the girl who claimed to be Sona. White skin, expressionless face, and fingers that move like a machine. The short cut of her hair, which covered her upright face, immediately gave her a temperament that was obviously different from Asakura. She feels like an inconspicuous doll, and to put it bluntly, she is a mysterious and expressionless eccentric!
I saw the pair of dark eyes staring at me under her lenses. Neither her eyes nor her lips had any expression, like a mask. She's different from Haruhi, the kind of expressionless face that doesn't have any emotional changes from the beginning. I quickly looked away, but she handed me a small object. I took it and saw that it was her student ID.
"Nagato Sulfona...... What?"
I compared the photo on my student ID card with her and double-checked the information on it. I see, her name is really Sulfona. The face is exactly the same as Asakura's, and the name is the same, and the age is the sameβare they twin sisters or something? But since they are twins, why are they the same first name and not the same surname? I sketched in my mind a sad picture of my parents divorced and sisters separated.
"It's not. β
Nagato said suddenly in a flat voice that would have been forgotten from her head immediately after three seconds of listening, and then took her student ID card from my hand.
Was she just refuting my fantasies?
I had such a strange thought for a moment, and then I thought it was a little funny to myself - how could such a thing happen?
"I said Nagato-san," I said, "This guy wants to borrow this place as an activity room for an unknown club, is that okay?"
"Yes. β
Nagato's gaze never left the book.
"But it might cause you a lot of trouble. β
"It doesn't matter. β
"Maybe you'll be kicked out?"
"Please. β
Although she answered crisply, there was no emotion. It seems that she really doesn't care what happens.
"Okay, then it's decided. β
Kasuga suddenly interjected. Her voice was so excited that I couldn't help but have a premonition that something wasn't right.
"After school, we will gather in this classroom. You have to come, or you're dead!"
She said with a bright smile like cherry blossoms blooming, and I could only nod reluctantly.
Come on, I don't want to die!
Although the club classroom has been found, there has been no progress on the paperwork to be handed over to the school. Because the name of the club and the content of the event have not yet been decided. Although I asked Kasuga to figure these things out first, she seemed to have other ideas.
"It's good to decide after that!"
Spring proclaimed loudly.
"The most important thing now is the members, at least two more people need to be found. β
So, you've already counted that member of the art club into the club? You shouldn't treat Nagato Sulfa as an accessory to the club classroom, right?
"You can rest assured. I'll get the right people in the right moment, and I already have the right person in mind. β
How can I put my mind at ease! The doubts in my heart are getting stronger and stronger!
The next day, after refusing to invite me home with Taniguchi and Kunikida, I dragged my heavy steps to the club classroom. After Kasuga put down the sentence "You go first!", he rushed out of the classroom with the super-fast speed that the track and field team desperately needed. The movement was so fast that I wondered if she had an accelerator on her ankle. I really don't know if she's going to rush to find a new member, or if she's excited that she's taken another step toward contact with people from another world?
On the way, I met Sakura Sina, who seemed to be helping the teacher carry materials. Sure enough, Asakura didn't dye her hair, didn't cut her hair short, and wasn't short-sighted. If, if Asakura Sulfura is wearing a long straight black wig now, and will pretend to be Nagato Sulfura in the art club classroom later, I may propose to her under the control of impulse.
"Ah, it's Ah Xu!"
"Ah, hello Asakura-san. β
Seeing Asakura greet me so warmly, I almost ended up with the stack of papers in her hand and helped her carry the materials together. However, if you don't feel the teachers of the art club, you may be corrected on the spot in the spring......
"I wanted to talk to you a little longer, but you seem to be in a hurry. β
Asakura looked at me and easily solved my worries. I took the opportunity to say a few pleasantries, feeling both grateful and disappointed. I remember a celebrity saying that the heart of a high school boy is more elusive than the Ramsey number. Looking at her back as she left, I couldn't help but ask.
"Do you have any siblings?"
Asakura turned to me and smiled.
"Nope. Sulfona is sulfona. β
I pondered the meaning of this sentence repeatedly, but I couldn't understand it at all. Perhaps there is a warning not to meddle in things, or maybe it is just a simple unintentional statement. It was too simple and too profound, and my brain was thrown into chaos. If I say to Taniguchi one day, "Ah Yu is Ah Xu!", Taniguchi will ignore me and eat all the braised pork in my bento box.
