Chapter 16: The Vault and the Flower of Life

In order to win my trust, each of these three people, who claimed to have lived through seven cosmic epochs, a time-traveling girl who claimed to have the ability to save and read files as easily as a game, and a women's magical boy who claimed to be a superpower, each showed me enough evidence to prove their identity. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 info three people for three different reasons. It is centered on Haruhi Suzumiya. Honestly, I think that's pretty good. It's weird. Not good at all. Because there's one thing I don't understand.

That's, why me.

Haruhi had already made it very clear when he introduced himself. She wanted an extraordinary human, and he had no interest in ordinary humans. Like Nagato, Asahina, and Furuizumi, these people are all the kind of special guys that Kasuga said. I don't care if Kasuga is a "singularity", "truth", "God" or a psychopath. Either way, maybe the world really has to turn according to Haruhi's wishes. So gods, traversers, and superpowers are all around her.

So, what about me?

Why am I being caught up in all this? I'm just 100 percent normal! I didn't suddenly wake up to a strange past life, and I didn't have any ulterior mysterious powers, I was just a super ordinary high school boy!

Who wrote the script for this story?

Or did someone make me smell some strange drug that caused me to hallucinate so much? Or was it shot by a poisonous radio wave? Who the hell got me into this predicament?

Is that you, Kasuga?

Just kidding!

I don't know anything at all.

Why do I have to be so bothered? It seems that all the reasons are due to Kasuga. If you really want to worry, it should be a spring trouble! Why should I bother with her? It doesn't make sense at all! I say that no reason is no reason, I have already decided! If things are as Nagato, Furuizumi, and Asahina say, then you go and tell the Haru-Japanese! What will become of the world at that time is the responsibility of Spring. It has nothing to do with me.

Go ahead and get busy! As long as it's not me.

The countdown to the arrival of the season before the arrival of summer. I was sweating profusely as I climbed the ramp, wiping my sweat from my untaken sports jacket as I reached for my tie and unbuttoned it to the third. If it's so hot in the morning, it's definitely even more terrible at noon. I gritted my teeth and walked down the ramp leading to the school when I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. When I yelled, "Don't touch me!" It's hot! And when he turned his head, Taniguchi's face suddenly came into view.

"Hey!"

Taniguchi, who walked side by side beside me, was really sweaty. It's so annoying that my carefully crafted hairstyle gets wet and collapsed with sweat. Despite what he said, he still felt bright.

"So, you know. Kuniki was accidentally locked up in the sports warehouse yesterday. You know the vaulting equipment that has been in the warehouse, but there is always a pit underneath. Kuniki skipped gym class yesterday and fell asleep hiding in that pit. But in the end, the person who sorted out the equipment didn't know, so he put the vault back in its place, and he was locked up. It's so funny! ”

"Is that so?"

"I said, Ah. How did you get listless? Gu Quan waved his hand exaggeratedly, "It's that guy from Kuniki, who was crushed under the vaulting horse, and he didn't dare to make a sound without moving!" ”

That's all right.

"Taniguchi."

When Taniguchi talked about his boring topic to himself, I interjected and asked:

"I'm supposed to be a normal high school boy, right?"

"What?"

Taniguchi had an exaggerated expression like he had heard a super funny joke for the first time.

"You should define what ordinary means, or the whole conversation won't work."

"Really?"

I'm starting to regret asking him that question.

"I'm kidding you! You say you're ordinary? I don't think an ordinary boy would overwhelm a girl in a classroom where no one is around! ”

Of course, Taniguchi probably won't forget this incident.

"I'm also a man, so I naturally take a sense of proportion, and I won't break the casserole and ask to the end. Do you know what I mean? ”

Didn't understand at all.

"When did you become that relationship with her? The other party is Nagato Ina, who I classify as an AΛ‰-class beauty! ”

It turned out that Nagato Irona belonged to the Aˉ class in his eyes.

"You have to listen clearly, although she and Asakura look very much, but their temperament is completely different, so there will be ups and downs in the evaluation. However, considering that Asakura has already transferred to another school, I can't see her anymore, so it's not impossible to raise Nagato's evaluation level a little. ”

Okay, I really don't want to continue to poke Taniguchi's own fetish for girls. To be honest, I don't think he will ever have a girlfriend in his life.

"You should be able to understand my anger by now! Now you can explain, what really happened between you? ”

I think the plot that Taniguchi imagined should be full of delusions, dreams, and completely unrealistic. So, I decided to explain it to him in the following words. Poor Nagato was a victim of Haruhi's forcible occupation of the club's classroom, and she was very troubled by the fact that she couldn't participate in the art club activities smoothly, so she came to me to discuss. She asked me if there was anything I could do to get Kasuga to give up the art club classroom and find another place. Touched by her sincere appeal, I decided to help poor her and consult with her about how to deal with the aftermath in a place that Haruhi didn't know. While we were discussing strategies in the classroom after returning from the spring, Nagato's anemia suddenly attacked. Just when she almost passed out, I hurriedly reached out to help her, but I didn't expect you to rush in. As long as this matter is talked about, it is nothing at all!

"Liar!"

He kicked me again. Damn, this is a super-perfect, mixed fiction and reality story that I have worked so hard to come up with! I didn't even deceive him!

"Even if I believe this lie, I still don't think you're any ordinary person. Because you can even get Nagato Sulfona, who usually doesn't have contact with people at all, to discuss things with you. It's not easy. ”

Come on, Nagato is so famous.

"No matter what, she's a subordinate of Liang Gong. If you're an average high school boy, I'm not as ordinary as a flea. ”

Then I asked again.

"Taniguchi, do you use superpowers?"

"Huh?"

"No, the number of superpowers should be very scarce, so I should ask if you're an agent or something."

He walked up the second flight of stairs with a sluggish expression. His expression was as exaggerated as if he learned that the beautiful girl he had successfully accosted was actually a missionary of the cult.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I see, you are finally poisoned by the cold palace...... We haven't been together for a long time, but you're really a good person. Please don't approach me in the future, so as not to infect me with the cold uterine virus. ”

I punched Taniguchi lightly, and he couldn't help but laugh. Haha, if this guy has superpowers or is trained as a secret agent, then from today onwards, I will be the president of the United Nations.

As I walked the stone steps leading from the school gate to the school building, I was grateful to Taniguchi. Because while talking to him, the heat seems to have subsided a little.

Such a hot day. Even Kasuhi couldn't bear it and lay on the table with all his body weak, and looked at the mountains in the distance melancholy.

"Ah Xu, I'm so hot!"

Is it? Me too.

"Fanning me?"

"If I want to fan someone else, I'd rather fan myself. It's so early in the morning, I don't have the extra strength to help you fan! ”

If Asakura was here, he might have already pulled out his blade and started fanning me. In any case, the cooling effect may be a little more obvious. If it was Nagato, he would have pulled out a book to fan the wind? Why do I have so much more mess in my head!

The spring day with the whole body lying on his stomach is completely gone, and the eloquent momentum of yesterday is completely missing.

"What do you think Shijiuru should wear for her next outfit?"

Bunny girl, maid dress should be followed by ...... Wait, there's the next set?

"Cat ears? Nurse uniforms? Or might it be better to dress her up as a queen? ”

I imagined Asahina's petite body blushing and struggling as she was forced to change her clothes, and I didn't feel dizzy. Ah, it's so cute.

Finding that I was seriously thinking about it, Haruhi glared at me with a frown, and then flicked the hair behind my ear.

"Look at how stupid you look."

Kasuga scolded. You changed the subject first, but my expression was as stupid as she said, so I'm not going to refute it. While I fanned her with a textbookβ€”

"It's really boring!"

Kasuga shouted like this, and then his lips drooped helplessly, and his expression was almost like a comic book character.

At the peak of the radiation line, after a hellish afternoon gym class, we scolded "Damn Okabe, who made us run a marathon for two hours straight," while changing out of our tracksuits that had long since turned into wet rags in Class 6 and returning to Class 5.

Although the female students who had already finished physical education class had changed their clothes, because there was only the class meeting left, several girls who had to go directly to the sports club after school were still wearing sportswear. However, what is puzzling is that Hasuga, which has nothing to do with sports clubs, also wears sportswear.

"It's too hot!"

That's right, that's her reasoning.

"It's okay, anyway, I have to change my clothes after going to the club classroom! In addition, I am on duty this week, so it is better to wear this kind of activity. ”

With his hand on his cheek, he looked out the window at the spring day, and his eyes followed the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky.

"That's pretty reasonable."

It's also a good idea to use sportswear as Asahina's next cosplay theme! What the? Is role-playing the term misused? Obviously I don't know where she came from, but she's trying to play a high school student right now!

"What are you thinking about, aren't you?"

Haruhi's conjecture was so accurate that I couldn't help but suspect that she had a mind reading skill.

"Before I go to the club classroom, you are not allowed to do anything wrong with Shi Jiuru."

Can you wait until you come? I swallowed the words back into my stomach and opened my hands rudely like a wanted Western Age wanted criminal at gunpoint by a newly appointed security officer.

I knocked on the door as usual and waited for a response from inside before entering the club classroom. The lovely maid who sat alone in a chair like a doll greeted me with a bright smile like a sunflower on the prairie. It's so warm! Nagato, who is still sitting at the table and reading a book, is like a camellia blooming in spring. Alas, I'm messing around with something! All in all, Nagato, who has taken off his glasses, exudes a subtle charm that almost makes me can't help but sing, "Wild lilies have spring, too."

"I'm going to make tea."

After arranging the headdress, Asahina approached the table with a pile of broken copper and iron, and carefully loaded the tea leaves into the teapot. I sat down at the regimental leader's table and happily looked at the busy Asahina, when I suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and I immediately turned on the power of the computer and waited for the hard drive to boot up. As soon as the desktop appeared, I called up the file and entered the password named "mikuru". It's a new type of computer that I grabbed from a computer club, and the processing speed is really amazing. After a while, Asahina's maid files appeared on the table.

After confirming that Asahina was concentrating on making tea, I enlarged and enlarged one of the photos.

Oh no, my heart started beating suddenly.

"Did you find anything?"

Before Asahina placed the cup on the table, I had quickly turned the screen off. I'm very careful in this regard. When Asahina looks at the screen from the sidelines, there is naturally nothing.

"Hey, what is this? What's in this mikuru folder? ”

Oh no, too careless!

"Why is it named after me? What's in there? Let me see, let me see! ”

"Well, that's the one inside...... What, what is it exactly? I guess I didn't have anything in it. That's right, it must be like this, nothing. ”

"Liar!"

Asahina smiled happily and reached out and leaned over from behind me to snatch the mouse from my right hand. Don't let you get away with it! I gripped the mouse with my hand. Asahina's soft body pressed against my back, her head poking over my shoulder, the sweet scent slapping my cheeks.

"Asahina, you get out of the way a little bit......"

"Let me see!"

With his left hand on my shoulder, his right hand chasing the mouse and running after the mouse, his upper body pressed all over my back, making me feel worse and worse.

The sound of a silver bell-like laugh gently hit my ears, and I couldn't help but let go of the mouse because I was too comfortable, and at that momentβ€”

"What are you two doing?"

The cold sound of minus 273 degrees Celsius made Asahina and I freeze on the spot. Haruhi, who is carrying a schoolbag and wearing a sportswear, has a terrifying expression on his face as if he has witnessed his father attacking an ignorant girl.

In the next second, Asahina, who had been stunned for a moment, began to move. She awkwardly stepped off my back, slowly backing away, and finally sat down in her chair like an asimo robot dying of power. Pale and pale, she almost burst into tears.

Don't worry, Asahina, I won't let you be obliterated.

Kasuga snorted, then walked over to the table and looked down at me with the sound of loud footsteps.

"What, you're interested in maid clothes?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"We're going to change our clothes."

It's up to you! I leisurely drank the tea that Asahina had made for me.

"Didn't you tell you we're going to change clothes?"

So what?

"Get out of here!"

I was almost kicked out of the door and fell down the hallway, and the classroom door was slammed shut right in front of me.

"What's that?"

I don't even have time to put the cup. I rubbed my fingers over my shirt, which was wet with the brown liquid, and leaned my back against the door.

Strange, as if something weird. Something is different from the usual.

"Ah, yes!"

I used to change clothes openly in the classroom, but today Jingran will blast me out of the classroom.

It seems that her state of mind has changed. Maybe she has also reached the age where she will feel shy, because the boys in Class 5 rushed out of the classroom like rabbits as soon as they arrived at physical education class, so they didn't notice that she had changed at all. By the way, Asakura, who let the boys of Class 5 develop this habit, is no longer there.

I sat outside the door for a while, and all the sounds in the room stopped, but I still didn't hear a call to enter. I had no choice but to hold my knees and continue to wait, and ten minutes passed like this.

"Please come in ......"

A small voice came from inside the door. When the almost chaotic waitress opened the door for me at Binet, I crossed her shoulders and saw Kasuga's long, fair-skinned and slender legs with her hands propped up on the table, looking bored. She wears long bunny ears on her head and wears that nostalgic bunny girl outfit on her body. Perhaps because of the trouble, she didn't wear sleeves and collars, not even net stockings.

Camera, where did my camera go?

"Although the hands and shoulders feel a little cold, this dress is actually very breathable."

After Kasuga finished speaking, she picked up her teacup and drank it as if she were enjoying it, while Nagato continued to read her book.

Surrounded by maids and bunny girls at the same time, I really didn't know how to react. If you take these two girls to solicit customers, you should be able to make a fortune! When I think like this-

"Wow, what is this?"

Gu Quan appeared at the door with a pale face.

"You...... You guys...... You ......"

It seems that Asahina's maid outfit has taken a considerable toll on him. I walked over to him in understanding and patted him on the back.

"All over the end of the sky. Sprout here, Flower of Life! ”

Gu Quan fell to his knees with a plop.

"Everyone's idol, the righteous magical girl - Ah Shu, participate!"

"Ahhh

Good, that gets him out. I've recently started to learn how to deal with Guquan. Even every time I attack him like this, those dark memories that I have sealed in the depths of my mind will also surface. Indeed, I feel a little sick to my stomach.

Others didn't seem to notice the strange appearance of the ancient spring.

"Shijiuru, you sit here."

Kasuga gestured to the chair in front of her. Asahina clearly showed a frightened expression, turned her back to the terrible Kasuga, and obediently sat down in her chair. I thought that Haruhi was going to do something, but she didn't expect her to start braiding her hair on Asahina's chestnut-colored curls. At first glance, anyone would think that the sister was fixing her sister's hair. But because Asahina's expression is really stiff and Haruhi is expressionless, it makes the sweet picture that should be full of warmth a little weird. It seems that Kasuga is just simply braiding the maid of Asahina.

Gu Quan poured tea into his mouth with a pale face, that look was really a little pitiful, and I couldn't help but talk to him.

"Do you want to play Othello?"

"yes, I haven't played in a long time. In fact, I can still fight all over the world in the organ. ”

Then, he lost me three games in ten minutes.

This superpowered person (magical girl) is really bad at chess.

While we were engaged in a black-and-white battle (unilateral torture), Kasuga helped Asahina tie his braids, then loosen them, and then tied two ponytails and combed his hair...... Every time Kasuga touches Asahina, her whole body trembles slightly, and Nagato is still immersed in the book without even raising her head.

I don't understand what kind of rally it is!

That's right, we carried out the activities of the SOS group calmly that day. It's not about aliens from another dimension, visitors from the future, blue giants, or red orbs of light. I didn't really want to do anything, I didn't know what to do, I just let myself wander in the torrent of time and live a carefree high school life. Everything is so geographical, and it's mundane.

Although I am dissatisfied with my ordinary life, I always say to myself, "Why do you think so much, there is still a lot of time anyway", and then leisurely welcome the arrival of tomorrow again and again.

Even so, I was so happy that I came to this club classroom aimlessly, and watched Asahina busy in and out like a maid; Looking at the Nagato that doesn't move like a Buddha statue; Looking at the ancient spring that is always pale; Looking at the spring when emotions are always swinging at the highest and lowest points. There's a supernatural air to it all about it, and it's part of high school campus life that makes me feel incredibly satisfied. Even though I have been hunted down by my classmates and seen the ferocious monsters that haunt the gray area, things that don't happen in real life, it's hard to say that they weren't my hallucinations, hypnotism, or daydreams.

I'm annoyed by Haruhi Suzumiya pulling me into the club.,But on all levels,I'm the only one who can get along with this group of interesting people.。 Putting aside the question of why I'm the only one for now, maybe there will be humans other than me joining in the future.

That's right, I've been thinking about this for a while.

Anyone has ever thought about this question, right?

But there are still people who don't think about it at all.

That's right, that person is Haruhi Suzumiya.

In the evening, after dinner, taking a shower, and preparing for tomorrow's English translation class, I looked at the time and found that it was time to go to bed.

So, I lay down in bed. Flip open the heavy hardcover book that the long door has forced into me. I wanted to say that it was good to read some books once in a while, so I flipped through them at random, but I didn't expect to read them page after page because the content was unexpectedly interesting. The book really has to be read before you can understand the fun. That's a good read! In this way, will I have any hope of being promoted to the legendary "superlife"?

Think about it, if one day a expressionless Nagato Ash suddenly appeared, a Aki Asakura who has a bright smile all day long and doesn't know what she is thinking, and Taniguchi Aki who has a disgusting death house atmosphere all over his body, and Aki Suzumiya who is completely disobedient to Hanada in his head. My God, no, no, as long as there is one in the spring of Suzumiya, I can't stand it at all.

How so? It would be perfect if there was another Asahina Asu.

I read the novel that Nagato gave me while carrying wonderful fantasies. However, it was impossible to read such a heavy book in one night, so I put the book down after reading a long monologue by one of the main characters, and the Sandman visited my eyelids at this time. After clipped the bookmark with Nagato's handwriting in the book and closed it, I turned off the lights and slipped into the bed. Within minutes, I was asleep.

By the way, do you know why humans dream? Sleep is divided into active and non-active sleep, and repeats periodically, and most people will come on after a few hours of deep sleep, when brain activity is at rest. When the body is asleep, but the brain is slightly active, it is called dynamic sleep, and we dream at this time. In the early morning, the proportion of active sleep increases, which means that almost all people will continue to dream until they wake up. Although I dream every day, I don't wake up until I get up until I am almost awake, and when I wake up, I am in a hurry to get ready for school, so I immediately forget what I dreamed. However, sometimes I suddenly remember a dream that I had years ago and then forgot, and the structure of human memory is so incredible.

Well, the small talk is over. Actually, I don't care about that kind of thing at all.

Suddenly I felt like someone was patting me on the cheek, and I was annoyed! I'm sleepy! Don't disturb my dreams!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ahh ”

The alarm clock hasn't gone off yet, and even if it does, I'll turn it off immediately. And it should be some time before my mother sends my sister to drag me out of the bed. I won't put it.,Shouldn't it be Asakura Axu.,Taniguchi Axu or something accidentally split it out.。 The transformation process of superlife forms could not have been so fast, no matter how it was. I must still be dreaming about it now.

"It's up."

No! I still want to sleep. There's no time for weird dreams.

"Wake you up, didn't you hear?"

The hand around my neck shook me hard, and I finally opened my eyes when the scoop hit the hard ground with the back of my head.

Hard ground?

I propped up my upper body in amazement. The girl who was looking down at me hurriedly turned her head away to avoid colliding with each other.

"You're finally up?"

"Ah, it's Lianggong Axu."

"What are you talking about! Dead! ”

Haruhi hit my head hard, but it didn't hurt at all. If I looked closely, I saw that kneeling beside me was Kasuhi in a sailor suit, her fair face revealing a deep sense of unease.

"Now, Ah Xu, do you know where this is?"

You know, it's the school, the prefectural North High School where we attend, and our current location is on the stone steps from the school gate to the shoe changing room. There was no light around, and the school building at night turned into a gray shadow standing in front of usβ€”

No, it's not.

It's not the night sky overhead.

Just a vast expanse of dark gray planes. Monochrome phosphorescent skies. There was no moon, no stars, and not a single cloud. It's a gray sky like a wall.

The world is completely dominated by silence and darkness.

Here's the middle layer.
