On Monday, I felt the humidity of the rainy season and climbed the hill to get to school. Pen ~ fun ~ Tsuka www.biquge.info I followed Nagato's instructions and brought the tome to school, so when I arrived at the classroom, I found myself sweating more than before. Oh my God, I wish there was a candidate in his election politics who proposed to build an escalator on this ramp. When I have the right to vote, I will definitely vote for you.

As I sat in the classroom and fanned the wind with a mat, Asakura walked leisurely. In this sweltering weather, Asakura's school uniform is still meticulously dressed.

"It's really hot today, do you need me to fan it for you?"

That, that's so embarrassing, I'll just come by myself.

"Eh, because you often take care of grandma at home? Actually, I'm still very used to fanning people. ”

No way. If Taniguchi saw it, I wouldn't dare to think about the consequences.

"Strange, why don't everyone agree to let me help fan the wind?"

I don't think anyone would dare to agree.

"Well, what a pity." Asakura shrugged cutely, then continued, "How's that?" Have you encountered anything good lately? ”

What if it's a good thing? Although it was a rare date with Asahina (probably a date), I heard a lot of strange things about her. Although I had a rare date with Nagato (I don't think that would be considered a date), I spent most of my time sleeping on the couch in the library. In the end, I ended up in a miserable situation with a dry wallet - although I didn't feel sorry for it myself.

"Both draws were drawn with beautiful girls. Overall, this may be Xiao Ji. Asakura suddenly covered his mouth and laughed, "Really, I didn't expect you to fall asleep on Nagato's date." How's she, is she bored? ”

Don't get me wrong, it's just going to the library together. I accidentally used a handsome term. It's not because Nagato is bored that I fall asleep, but it's mainly because I've heard Asahina say a lot of things in the morning, so I'm a little tired now. All in all, it's a good thing to go to the library with Nagato.

"I suggest you might take her to a movie or a play."

Huh?

"Our school also has a drama club.,There's also a performance at the school festival.。

I see.

"Speaking of which, do you believe in luck?"

Perhaps.

So, isn't there a mysterious Lord in the shadows who is in charge of all that is in charge of us? We have lived according to their will, and have attributed their instructions to luck or fate......"

I do not know. In other words, why did Asakura suddenly become interested in such a fatalistic doctrine?

"I said, Ahhhh

The smile on Asakura's face suddenly disappeared. Serious, she looked like a different person.

"I don't believe in fate. I don't believe that there is a master in the underworld. I don't believe in the tragedy of fate, and I can't understand the thoughts of those who are left to fate. I decided to fight forever! ”

Asakura's eyes narrowed, and he propped his hand on the table and brought his face closer to me. That's the distance from which her eyelashes can be clearly seen. But I couldn't appreciate her beauty as much as I normally would. I realized that something was bursting out of Asakura's body, and it shook me.

"How?"

What how?

"My lines?"

That's a line! When you think about it this way, it seems that the topic of drama was indeed discussed before. Because Asakura's performance was so infectious, I thought for a moment that she was serious.

"yes,That's the line from my school festival performance.。 Have you heard of the adaptation of "Macbeth"? ”

I've only heard the name of Macbeth, but I don't know what it is.

"One of Shakespeare's four great tragedies, I thought this one was quite famous. I'm a member of the drama club, didn't I tell you? Anyway, I can visit my rehearsal when I have time, which is very interesting. ”

Asakura's signature smile returned to her face, and the shocking side of the moment disappeared without a trace. I see, I see, Asakura may really have a talent for theatrical performance. I remember a celebrity saying that a good actor has to prepare 10,000 masks. Put a mask on your face when you need to play any role. When Asakura really enters the entertainment industry one day, I can still brag to others - she still begged to fan me back then.

When he thought so, Asakura had already turned around and left. I felt a little abrupt, and when I turned my head, it turned out to be a rare spring day that ran in time before the class bell rang. It seems that Asakura seems to have avoided contact with Haruhi, and perhaps she also knows that Haruhi doesn't like her.

Kasuga threw his bag on the table, and then spoke in a arrogant tone.

"Fan me!"

My God, it's a stark contrast to Asakura! It's the same girl, why is the difference so big?

"You won't fan yourself!"

Today's spring has a straight face again, exactly the same as when we broke up in front of the station two days ago. I felt that her expression was much cuter recently, how could she return to her previous appearance.

"That's right, Suzumiya. Have you ever heard the story of Macbeth? ”

"What's that?"

The same face approached me, and I was startled by something bursting out of Kasuga's body.

Isn't it a little too easy to be intimidated, me?

"No...... No, nothing. ”

I replied awkwardly.

"Then don't ask me!"

Kasuga squinted at me, and I hurriedly turned my head, just as Okabe-sensei walked in, and the class meeting began.

In class this day, I could feel the unpleasant emotions emanating from spring in all directions, constantly putting pressure on me from behind. No, it should be said that there has never been a bell so pleasant to hear after class as it is today! As soon as class ended, I rushed to the club classroom to take refuge like a wild rat alert to a forest fire.

The appearance of Nagato reading a book in the club classroom has long been integrated with the interior scenery, and it is simply a fixed decoration that is inseparable from this classroom.

So, I said to Kazuki Furuizumi, who walked into the club classroom one step earlier:

"Aren't you going to tell me about the Liang Palace too?"

Now there are only three of them. Haruhi who is on duty today, and Asahina haven't come yet.

"I see. It looks like you've already been in contact with the other two people. ”

Furuizumi glanced at Nagato, who was concentrating on reading, and the tone of knowing everything made me feel annoyed.

"Let's talk somewhere else! If it is heard by Suzumiya-san, it will not be good! Gu Quan smiled and said, "Didn't you say you would have a drink together yesterday?" ”

So, Gu Quan accompanied me to the table outside the cafeteria and sat down. On the way, Gu Quan also bought a bottle of soda from the vending machine for me, and he knew that he liked to drink this brand of soda. Although it is inevitable that two men sitting at the same round table will attract attention, but this is also something that cannot be helped.

Gu Quan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but I stopped him.

"Okay, let me guess what you're going to say in the first sentence." I shrugged, "After the gods and the traversers...... You're not going to tell me you have superpowers. ”

"Don't take a preconceived notion." Gu Quan shook his cup and said, "Actually, that's not what I wanted to say in the first sentence. Look, do you think that Ryokiya-san is very willful recently, and sometimes he will suddenly be irritable? ”

Ahh

"So I want to tell you first, Suzumiya-san...... actually said," Gu Quan said, pointing to his head, "There's something wrong with her." ”

I almost spat the soda out of my mouth.

"What's wrong?"

What you said is so correct and common sense that I can't believe it. And my impression of you has changed a lot.

"Since you're in a good mood, I'll go on. Actually, I have superpowers. Ah, should this be called a superpower? ”

Ha? Aren't you going back again?!

"Listen to me first. In general, there is a lot of things in this world that go beyond common sense. For example, we actually fought two battles with aliens in secret. In addition, biological invasions from other dimensions also occur from time to time. It is not impossible to witness some ghosts and ghosts at night. Most people don't see these things in their lifetime because their wavelengths don't match those weird ones. So the average person doesn't care much about them, or sometimes they don't pay attention when they see them. For example, maybe your toys will take a walk around your room while you're asleep. ”

I looked at Gu Quan with wide eyes.

"Well, I continued. All in all, humans have been growing up with these strange phenomena for some time, so there will also be superpowers awakened among humans to protect the earth. Just like you can see in the tokusatsu movie, the superpowers will destroy all the monsters and monsters that invade the earth. Superpowers and heads of state formed 'organs' and began to specialize in non-routine matters. But perhaps because of the relationship that has been going well, humans have become a little arrogant. The agency began to explore the planet around it, and then finally encountered another civilization - which meant that we encountered aliens. Because of cultural differences, racial struggles, resource grabbing, and a series of other reasons, we are at war with aliens. In the beginning, our form was very good, and the other side civilization did not pay attention to military affairs, but on the contrary, communications and other technologies were relatively developed. We destroyed almost everything they had. The desperate aliens have finally done something-"

What's up?

"They spread the coordinates of the earth to the whole universe, to all space. As I said before, although they are militarily underdeveloped, they are very good at communications. Soon, other extraterrestrial civilizations in the vicinity became aware of Earth's existence. Whether it is a friendly civilization or a very aggressive civilization, whether it is a gentle alien or a brutal alien, they all want to come to Earth to see. Ordinary tourist agencies are not unwelcome, as long as they disguise themselves as humans. ”

When he said this, I suddenly thought of Asahina and Nagato.

"But there are some brutal aliens, or aliens with great force, who have also come to Earth. Although the agency usually deals with the invasion of monsters, it is a small probability event after all. It's like a frequency of events where people who get lost come to your house to spend the night. But since the coordinates of the Earth have spread throughout the universe, aliens have poured into the Earth in the hundreds of millions. Not to mention whether these aliens will wreak havoc, that number alone can fill all the streets on Earth. For a while, the agency was very distressed, and began to mobilize all the superpowers to defend the earth and isolate all alien creatures. Speaking of which, that was three years ago. ”

It was three years ago.

"While the agency is struggling to protect the earth, a young girl emerges. Her abilities are incredible, and if she were fully realized, she alone would be able to construct a protective net to cover the earth. In this way, the vast majority of alien invasions can be insulated. However, that is based on the fact that her abilities are fully exploited. Humans usually leave three points of strength no matter what they do, which is a means of self-protection. But sometimes when you're running a marathon, you're trying so hard that you don't feel your feet – and that's what we need. ”

“……”

"Of course, it's generally impossible to do that. However, our agency gathered almost all the doctors and experts, and through drugs and mental inducements, the girl unleashed her abilities with all her might, and built a 'sh defense system' in the sky above the earth......"

Hey, hey! The sh you're talking about doesn't mean Suzumiya Haruhi (Suzumiya Haruhi)!

"That's pretty much it!"

Hey, this guy actually nodded! So according to what you say, isn't Kasuga herself the one she wants?

"Yes, she is indeed a capable person, and her ability is countless times stronger than all of us combined. But have you forgotten what I said? Gu Quan narrowed his eyes and said, "It doesn't take an ordinary level of effort to build a SH defense system, it's the kind of ...... that you need to forget your legs."

You're saying that Kasuga forgot about his own abilities in order to build that system? This kind of thing......

"This kind of thing is ridiculous, isn't it? Obviously the most powerful superpower, but he forgot his own ability. Gu Quan sighed and said, "But I don't think it's funny at all, but I feel very sad." You haven't experienced it yourself, and you don't know what kind of despair was experienced at the top of humanity three years ago. When I knew that all aliens within a light year wanted to come and walk around Earth, I was too scared to get up from my chair. Some people in the agency decided to tell the ordinary people everything they had, telling them that the agency had come to self-destruction because of its invasion of other civilizations. Someone decided to commit suicide to ease their guilt......"

So you sacrificed the spring?

"No, Ryumiya-san, she voluntarily received drugs and mental inducements. She also knew what would happen after that. Her brain will turn into a mess, and she will forget everything about her abilities, forget about herself, forget about her mechanisms, forget who she is. For those of us who are capable, ability is like hands and feet. Losing one's abilities is like amputating one's limbs, forgetting one's native language, and abandoning one's name. ”

“……”

After this, Suzumiya considers himself an ordinary student. She refuses to accept and understand everything that has to do with power. Her world became mundane and mundane. But on the other hand, she still can't forget her own abilities in her heart. Do you know 'phantom limb pain'? ”

I shook my head.

"Phantom limb pain, also known as limb hallucinatory pain, is when the person feels that the severed limb is still present and that pain is occurring there. It is a mental illness caused mainly by the cerebral cortex. Gu Quan gestured with his hand to his leg, "There are some warriors who have lost their limbs in battle. But they can also feel pain like an electric shock, a cut, a tear or a burn. That's because although the limbs are no longer there, there are still indelible traces in their hearts. Kasuga-san's situation is very similar to this. Although she has forgotten her abilities, she is still subconsciously looking for something that she knows very well in this world. ”

Ah, yes, that's why that guy in Kasuga became so weird.

Ah, sure enough, she has a brain disease, it seems that I guessed correctly.

I shook the bottle of soda, and sure enough, it was the most refreshing to drink on a hot day.

"Looks like you still don't believe me." Gu Quan sighed, "I didn't look like a transfer student, and an agency member like me should try to stay away from Liang Gong to prevent her from recalling her past again and making the SH defense system unstable." There were observers for non-capable people. I'm not the only one in this school who belongs to the 'agency'. Several agents have infiltrated the area, and I've been temporarily transferred here as an additional personnel. ”

Oh! Even spies and observers appeared!

At this moment, I actually remembered Taniguchi's face. He said that since junior high school, he has been in the same class as Haruhi. Could it be that he is the same kind of person as Gu Quan?

"Is that really the case?"

I saw Gu Quan pretending not to hear and continue.

"I wasn't coming back. But now the situation has changed, and Nagato-san, Asahina-san, these anomalous beings who had been in a wait-and-see state suddenly mingled with Suzumiya. So judging from above, I should also observe it closely. ”

Don't talk about spring like a rare insect, okay?

Perhaps noticing me frowning, he continued.

"Don't be angry. We're struggling too! We didn't mean to harm Suzumiya-san, but to protect her from danger. For the agency, the safety of Suzumiya-san's safety is equivalent to the survival of the SH defense system. If Suzumiya-san is in a bad mood, there will be more loopholes in the SH defense system, and there will be more monsters invading the earth. ”

Wow, the filtering function of Suzumiya Kasuga's defense system needs to be improved.

"It may sound like that. But these slips through the net still need to be solved manually by our other superpowers. Seriously, it's not an easy job every time. In places invisible to ordinary people, we fought monsters, and several times we felt like we were going to die. So we hope that the students of Lianggong can be in a better mood every day. This makes our fight a lot easier. ”

Ahh All in all, Haruhi is an important person, and she can't be exposed to things that aren't ordinary.

"yes, that's pretty much it."

Okay, OK. Anyway, when are you going to ship the spring away?

"Huh? What are you talking about? Why do you want to take the spring away? ”

For the first time, I saw Furuizumi's surprised expression.

Isn't that what it is? Because Nagato, Asahina, these anomalous existences are close to Kasuga, so you are worried that Kasuga will recall the past. That's why the agency sent you over and asked you to transport Kasuga back for treatment. She has a mental illness, something called phantom limb pain......

"We have some hardliners in our agency, but not to the extreme of yours. Listen, Ah Xu, what you said is impossible. We can't interfere with Kasuga's life like that. She'll be suspicious. Gu Quan shook his head, "Besides, if she's in a bad mood, the Earth could be destroyed in a day." ”

All in all, you should take her to medicine or treatment. I can't stand it every day to play with gods, traversers, superpowers.

"How can I say it? Due to the large amount of drug induction and mental interference that she had previously sat on Haruhi, she is now very resistant to drugs, and general therapy does not work for her at all. Ah, by the way, do you sometimes think she's too stubborn? That's probably one of the side effects of the drug. So Nagato and Asahina shouldn't affect her much. All in all, at the moment we can't find a way to change the Ryokiya without affecting the SH defense system. So I can only let her go. Gu Quan shrugged, "Besides, most of the people in the agency think that Suzumiya-san's current state is the best. ”

Are you kidding! Not good at all! It's not good for me at all!

"You see, she will neither kill people casually nor cause a bad public opinion. Even if she continues to mess around, all she loses is a club classroom, a desktop computer, and a few drinks for weekend activities. Oh yes, if you give me the invoice next time, I can directly help you reimburse the money for those drinks. ”

Next time? You mean, I'll pay for the drink next time?

"Well, that's pretty much it." Gu Quan laughed, "I'm starting to understand why Liang Gong cares about you, you're such an interesting person." ”

So why does Haruhi care about me? I'm not a god, I'm not a traverser, and I don't have any superpowers.

"About that...... To us, you're a mystery. I'm sorry that I've done a lot of research on you beforehand, but I assure you that you're really an ordinary human with no abilities. ”

Should I be relieved, or should I feel sad?

"I don't know, but maybe you're the one who holds the fate of this world. So, please be careful not to let Suzumiya-san despair about this world. Think about it, the current Tsuzumiya-san can defend herself against all the alien attacks from within a three-light radius - what if she uses this power to vent or sabotage? ”

I drank the soda from the bottle.

"You say you have superpowers."

"Well, although the statement is not quite the same, it is not wrong in simple terms."

"In that case, show me your superpowers, so I can believe what you say. Let's say pick up the bottle without using your hands. To ease the difficulty, I've drunk all the drinks inside. ”

Gu Quan's expression became a little subtle.

"Well, the agency has a deep connection with each country. In order to facilitate our conduct in Japan, we are also all part of a special branch of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and we are also considered full-fledged civil servants with the rank of major - in short, we are militarized, and we need to apply before using our capabilities. In order to exert one's abilities, several important conditions must be met at the same time—"

Although he said it soundly, I could hear a sense of prevarication in his tone.

This kid isn't kidding me?

"I'm sorry for delaying you so much, I'll go back first today."

After saying this, Gu Quan left the table.

I looked at the brisk back of Gu Quan until I couldn't see it, and then I suddenly looked at the table with a sudden thought.

The bottle that was there before is gone. I almost screamed in surprise.

"Ah Xu's classmates originally like to drink this brand of drink!"

I turned my head to see that Asakura-san had picked up the bottle and was looking at it with interest. Oh my God, don't scare me! I almost thought it was ......

"Almost why?"

"Ah...... It's nothing...... I hurriedly changed the subject, "That, Asakura-san, do you believe in the existence of superpowers?" It's like a telekinetic power, the feeling of being able to take something out without using your hands...... That's pretty good, isn't it? ”

"Do you think this is very powerful?"

Huh?

"I think it would be pitiful. Think about it, Ah Xu. If you know how to read power, every time you go to the shrine to ask for a lot, you can't help but use your ability to pull out the good luck or something? In that case, it's not asking for a sign at all. It's better to say that I can't ask for a sign anymore. ”

Asakura-san casually put the bottle back on the table.

"I think it's better to have more uncertainties in this world. Ah, Ah Xu, why did you show a contemplative expression? This isn't for you! Asakura clapped his hands with a smile and said, "By the way, do you have time after that?" ”

Yes...... Is there time?

My heart started pounding. However, I have a flashing of Haruhi's face this morning.

"Eh, there's a club event after that......"

"And what about tomorrow?"

There will also be club activities tomorrow. It's better to say that there are club activities every day.,That's right.,Haruhi this woman likes to squeeze the people under her hands into juice.,But I don't admit that I'm her subordinate! If she becomes a section chief in the future, she will definitely force the members to work overtime until the last train stops. Then Yin Yang said strangely, since there is no way to take the train, let's stay here. If she was accommodating, she would continue to say that since she had settled in, she might as well finish her work before going to bed. This way, you can sleep more soundly. In the end, it will only work until dawn the next day. That's right, Haruhi is such an easy woman to get an inch.

I don't understand what I'm talking about. In short, I want to revolt and rebel against the "tyranny of shō".

"Tomorrow? No problem tomorrow! ”

"Hmmm! That's good! Asakura smiled cutely and nodded widely, "That's it." Tomorrow after school, we meet in the classroom. But please wait until no one is in the classroom. ”

――But please wait until no one is in the classroom.

I kept this sentence in my head, and then stared blankly at Asakura's back until I couldn't see it, and then suddenly looked at the table with a sudden thought.

The bottle on the table was gone, and the aunt who was cleaning the cafeteria was already taking it to the trash can.
