Chapter 2 Long Straight Hair and Strange Candy

I gradually realized that I was going to lose my normal high school life. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoActually, everyone's lives have been thrown into chaos because of a mischievousman. Basically, Haruhi Suzumiya won't do anything serious against the school rules, but her weird behavior is eye-catching enough. The first thing I noticed when I sat next to her was her hair.

When I introduced myself on the first day, the spring was covered with beautiful long straight hair. I remember a famous person who said that long straight black hair is the dream of all men. I was somewhat skeptical of this, but I was very impressed by the hair on the day of spring. Unexpectedly, when I saw her the next day, Kasuga changed to a single ponytail that is very suitable for sports. To be honest, a single ponytail is actually great, but the next day it becomes a double ponytail. Since I graduated from elementary school, I haven't seen a girl with a double ponytail. This was followed by a three-ponytail hairstyle with two on one side on the back, and finally four braids the next day. The braids on the back of Kasuga's head pop up one after the other as if they would increase in value, and I was looking forward to what it would be like to tie five braids at the same time. But I soon found out that it was a Saturday and I didn't have to go to school at all. By the time she saw Haruhi Suzumiya on Monday, she had dreams of wearing a man. I gradually understood:

Monday = 0, Tuesday = 1, Wednesday = 2......

As the unit of the week increases, so does the number of hair ties. Then on Monday, I started the first chakra again. I really don't understand why she did this, if she followed this rule, she should end up with six ponytails on her head, and suddenly she wanted to see what kind of hairstyle it was on Spring Sunday.

Soon, I discovered the second strange place of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Because physical education classes are held separately for men and women, they are all held in five or six classes together. When it comes to changing clothes, girls are concentrated in odd-numbered classes and boys are in even-numbered classes. So when the previous class is over, the boys in class 5 will naturally move to the classroom in class 6 in order to change clothes.

However, Kasuga didn't care whether the boys in the class were still present or not, so he took off his sailor suit on his own.

Almost like all the boys present were pumpkins or potatoes, she threw the sailor suit she had taken off on the table with a blank face, and then began to change into her sports uniform.

At this time, these boys, including me, who were dumbfounded on the spot, would be kicked out of the classroom by Asakura Sulfona.

Later, other female classmates led by Asakura Sarina seemed to persuade Haruhi because of this, but it didn't work at all. Kasuga still ignored the eyes of his classmates, and changed his clothes as if no one was around. After that, Asakura Sarina pulled Haruhi Suzumiya to talk alone for a while, and Haruhi Suzumiya reluctantly decided to go to the back of the classroom to undress. It certainly doesn't make a difference. Therefore, we boys were told that we had to leave the classroom as soon as the bell rang for the end of the previous PE class! As compensation, Asakura reduced the number of days the boys were on duty. It seems that Asakura Sulfona has become our squad leader. But I don't care who is the class leader, maybe she is.

But seriously, Haruhi is in pretty good shape...... Ah, now is not the time to talk about such things! Now I will continue to explain the strangeness of my discovery of the Suzumiya.

Basically, the spring day who is not in the seat after every class.,As soon as it's time to get out of school, I immediately rushed out of the classroom with my school bag.。 I thought she would go home immediately, but she didn't expect her to run to join all the clubs on campus. Yesterday I saw her dribbling in the basketball club, but today I found her sewing pillowcases in the craft club, and then tomorrow I saw her swinging a stick in the hockey club. In addition, she seems to have joined the baseball club, so she has participated in all the intramural sports clubs. Of course, all the sports clubs warmly invited her to join the club, but she refused all of them, because she was bored with participating in the same club every day, so in the end she did not join any of them.

What the hell is this guy trying to do?

Because of this incident, the rumor of "a strange girl in the first grade this year" instantly spread throughout the campus. Within a month, there was no one in the school who didn't know Haruhi Suzumiya. In May, there may still be people who don't remember the name of the principal, but no one doesn't know who Haruhi Suzumiya is.

In the midst of a lot of scuffles – in fact, Haruhi was the only one of the troublemakers from start to finish – May is quietly here.

On the first day after the end of Golden Week, I was already a little unclear what day it was, and under the unusually hot May sun, I walked up the ramp to school with no end in sight while sweating. What the hell is going on on Earth? If we continue like this, will we get yellow fever......

"Yo, Ah Xu. ”

Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder, and it turned out to be Taniguchi.

He hung his sports coat casually over his shoulders, and the tie on his chest was full of folds, and he was not manly at all. However, Taniguchi's lack of manhood has nothing to do with what he wears, he has never been.

"Where are you going to play during Golden Week?"

"I took my younger sister, who was in elementary school, back to my grandmother's house in the countryside. ”

"It's boring. ”

"And what did you do?"

"I've been working part-time. ”

"It's not like what you would do. ”

"Ah Xu, how good is it to take my sister to see my grandparents when I go to high school?

By the way, Ah Xu is me. I remember that the first person to start calling it that was my aunt. I remember a few years ago, my aunt who hadn't seen her for a long time suddenly said, "Oh, Ah Xu has grown so big!", after hearing her call her so funny, my sister immediately changed her name to "Ah Xu", and after the friends who came to play at home heard my sister call me like this. And so it goes. From that day on, my nickname became Ah Xu. Damn, my sister would have called me "brother" obediently before that!

"It is an annual ritual for our family to have a big gathering of cousins during Golden Week. ”

I continued to climb as I answered, and the sweat oozing from my scalp made me feel uncomfortable.

Taniguchi talks about what the cute girl he met at the place where he works and what he saved a little money so that dating funds are not a problem, etc. Honestly, conversations about what other people have and how powerful and adorable their pets are one of the most boring topics in the world.

After listening to Taniguchi's imaginary date itinerary before he even found his partner, we came to the school gate.

As soon as I walked into the classroom, I found that Suzumiya was already sitting in the seat behind me, looking out the window casually. I noticed that she had two buns tied around her head today, so I inferred that it was Wednesday and sat down on the bib. If not, I can't think of any other reason to explain it. Because when I came back to my senses, I found myself talking to Haruhi Suzumiya.

"Do you change your hairstyle every day for people from different worlds?"

Kasuga suddenly turned his head slowly like a robot, and then looked at me with an unsmiling expression, which was honestly a little scary.

"When did you find out?"

Kasuga is as cold as talking to a stone on the side of the road.

When she asked me that, I had to think about it.

"Hmm...... A while ago. ”

"Really?"

Kasuga impatiently put his hand on his cheek.

"That's what I think, because you make a different impression on me every day. ”

For the first time, there was a decent conversation!

"In terms of colours, Monday is yellow, Tuesday is red, Wednesday is blue, Thursday is green, Friday is golden, Saturday is brown, and Sunday is white. ”

I can sort out what she's talking about.

"So, if you use the numbers, Monday is 0, and Sunday is 6?"

"That's right. ”

"However, I think Monday should be 1 yes. I thought for a while and said, "Or rather, Sunday should be the start of a week, so it's 1, ah, no Sunday should be 0." ”

"Who asked your opinion?"

“…… That's right. ”

Kasuga didn't seem very pleased with my response, looking at me with a wrinkled face, and I could only let the time pass with trepidation.

"Did I see you somewhere, a long time ago?"

"Nope!"

When I said this, Mr. Okabe walked into the classroom with brisk steps, and our conversation ended.

Early the next morning, Asakura approached my seat with a smile on her face. To be honest, every time Asakura Irona talks to me, I feel flattered. In the face of her cute face, the boys will lose their voices for another reason that is different from facing the spring day.

"Do you want to eat?"

Asakura Sulfona handed over candy that has been very popular among girls recently. The school does not explicitly prohibit snacks and does not encourage them. I've seen girls pass this candy many times, but I've never eaten it. I hesitantly took a piece and put it in my mouth, worried that the way I watched the girl eating candy was noticed by Asakura. A high school student salivates over the candy in a girl's hand – and it's rude for someone to see it. Because of this, I didn't taste the candy that Asakura handed me at all.

Sulfona looked at me, smiled slightly, and handed me two more.

I felt that my careful thinking was completely seen through by her, and she was very gentle and tolerant.

"Ah, Asakura-san, what's the matter?" I said, trying to pretend to be calm.

"It's nothing, I just want to say hello to Ah Xu. Asakura thought for a moment and continued, "Does it mean that it's better not to call you Axu? ”

Looking at her like that, I was a little stunned. I tried to convince myself that Asakura-san was just gentle by nature and kind to everyone, and he didn't care about me at all. I said this to myself twice and finally calmed down.

"Call me Ah Xu, I'm used to it. ”

"In this way, I still think it's more kind to call Ah Xu. ”

Asakura-san nodded as if the conversation had been completed, and then left my seat. To this day, I can't understand why she accosted me. I silently put the sugar in my mouth, and then I realized that this sugar is sour. I don't know how I ate it. I felt the subtle tingling sensation of the candy churning in my mouth, and I decided to sneak another one into the trash.

By the time I came back to my senses, Kasuga was already sitting behind me with a big sting. I took one look at her and was taken aback. I saw that her beautiful long hair was neatly made into a short haircut. As a result, I can no longer tell the day of the week by the number of braids on Haruhi's head, and her appearance on Sunday has become a strong candidate for the top ten unsolved mysteries of Haruhi. The original waist-length hair is now only shoulder-length, although this hairstyle is also very suitable for her, but the day after I talked about her hairstyle, I ran to cut it short, and it was clear that I was not happy to see me, what are you doing!

However, when I asked Kasuga for the reason......

"There's no reason for that. ”

She still responded in a displeased tone, but she didn't show any special emotion, and it seemed that she was not going to tell me the reason for cutting her hair. I shrugged my shoulders, just thinking I was bored. I've been at the front and back tables with Kasuga for so long, and the only decent conversation is just built on the hair. As the saying goes, I don't have to keep my hair but not my head, and I don't think I have anything to talk about with Kasuga anymore. Unexpectedly, Kasuga took the initiative to poke his head over.

"I didn't expect you to have this candy. ”

It took me a while to realize that Kasuga was referring to the piece of candy that Asakura had just given me.

"Ah, here you go. Take it. ”

Kasuga didn't wait for me to finish speaking, and put the candy in his mouth very directly. I had expected her to gnash her teeth at the strong sourness, but she was just calmly eating the candy, and even exuded a subtle sense of happiness.

"Don't you feel sour?"

Taking advantage of the moment before the morning shift meeting to talk to Haruhi is my daily homework. However, if I don't take the initiative to speak, Haruhi won't have any reaction. In addition, if I told her what was going on in yesterday's drama and what the weather was like today, which can be said to be "extremely boring" for her, she would never pay attention to anyone, so I changed the topic carefully every time. So, when I'm done, I'm ready to be baptized by the cold words of spring. For example, "Are you an idiot, don't talk to me about anything......" and other verbal violence, I think I can withstand it. But Kasuga just puffed out his cheeks.

"Generally sour. ”

I realized that I was in a good mood today, or super good. So, I asked the question that was buried in my heart.

"Do you really belong to all the clubs? Are there any clubs that are more fun? Tell me and let me refer to them. ”

"Nope. ”

Kasuga replied rather simply.

"Not at all. ”

She emphasized it again, then exhaled like a butterfly flapping its wings. She probably wanted to sigh, right?

"I thought it would be better when I went to high school, but I didn't expect it to be the same as the compulsory education era, and nothing has changed at all. Looks like I went to the wrong school. ”

Miss, what criteria do you use to choose a school?

"Sports clubs, cultural clubs are very ordinary. If only there were some strange clubs at school......"

How do you decide whether someone's club is ordinary or special?

"Nonsense, the club I like is just peculiar, or very ordinary. ”

Did you? I knew you would say that.

"Humph!"

She looked at her head in displeasure, and the conversation ended for the day. Another day.

"I overheard one thing. ”

"It won't be a big deal anyway. ”

"Did you really dump all the boys you were with?"

"Why do I have to listen to you like this?"

She brushed her shoulder-length hair and glared at me with bright dark eyes. Really, in addition to her expressionless face, this angry face appears most often.

"Taniguchi said that, right? I didn't expect to be in the same class as that stupid guy in high school, he can't be a pervert like a tail maniac, right?"

"I don't think so. I said this, but for the first time in my heart, I agreed with what Kasuga said. It's not good for my friends, but if Taniguchi really commits crimes against women in the future, I'll take him to the police station myself.

"I don't know what you've heard. But it's not bad, most of it is true anyway. ”

"Isn't there any one of them who would make you want to be seriously involved?"

"Not at all!"

Total denial seems to be her mantra.

"Everyone is like an idiot, and they can't get serious about it at all. Everyone would just ask me to wait in front of the station on Sundays, and then the place I would go to must be a movie theater, an amusement park, or a football game. The first time I had a meal, I had to have lunch, and then I went to drink tea in a hurry, and finally I will see you tomorrow!"

I really don't know what's wrong! I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it. Anyway, if you can't say it in the spring, it must be bad. "Then they must all confess on the phone, what are they doing! Such an important thing should be told in person!"

Who would dare to say such an important thing to a girl who looks down on them, at least to the boys themselves, they can't say anything when they see your face. I guessed what the boys were thinking and responded to Haruhi's words.

"Well, yes, if I did, I'd just ask to talk about it. ”

"Who cares what you do!"

What are you going to do, that's not right?

"The question is, are all the boys in this world such boring creatures? ”

It's not much better now, is it?

"So, what kind of boy do you think is interesting? Sure enough, do you still want to be from another world? Or is it a god...... Superpowers or something. ”

"It's okay to be a person from another world, or a creature of the same level. In short, as long as it is not an ordinary person, it is good for both men and women. ”

Why do you insist so much that there must be non-human creatures? As soon as I spoke, Haruhi looked at me with a look of contempt.

"Of course, because humans aren't fun at all!"

This...... Maybe you're right.

Even I can't refute Kasuga's claims. If the real identity of this beautiful girl transfer student is a hybrid of aliens and earthlings, I would also think it would be great. And now I'm sitting near me, secretly looking at Taniguchi and Kasuga, and if it's an investigator from the future world, it's definitely more exciting. And if Sarina Asakura, who somehow smiles at me all the time, had superpowers, my school life would have been more interesting.

None of this is possible, though. There can be no gods, time-travelers, or superpowers in the world. Well, even if they do show up. I wouldn't deliberately run to an unrelated me and introduce myself, "Hello, my real identity is actually a traverser".

"I said, you've eaten this candy. Kasuga pointed at me with the freshly peeled candy wrapper, "Don't you think that the other tastes in this world are so ordinary after eating them?"

The taste of this candy is really pungent, but it doesn't get to that level.

"All in all, it seems to me that people in the world are boring. ”

Haruhi ended the conversation with candy in her mouth. I've been regurgitating this phrase ever since. What did Haruhi Suzumiya want to say? Could it be that she had experienced something beyond reality before, so that she felt that ordinary life was very boring now? She was always eager to meet the surreal life that I had long since given up. And she's done it very positively.

Just waiting, opportunities don't come out of nowhere, so take the initiative to call them! That's why she draws white lines, paints rooftops, and stickers everywhere on campus.

Oh!

I don't know when Haruhi started doing these strange things that would make people think she was some kind of fanatic, because there is nothing to be gained by waiting in the air, so it is better to take the initiative to do some strange rituals to summon them, but I didn't expect to get nothing in the end, so Kasuga always put on an expression that wants to curse the world......

"Hey, Ah Xu. ”

At the end of class, Taniguchi leaned towards me with a strange expression. Taniguchi, you really look like a fool when you have that expression!

"Don't make any noise, it doesn't matter what you say. By the way, what kind of magic did you do?"

"What magic,"

Highly developed science is like magic!, I retorted as I remembered this proverb. So Taniguchi pointed to the Kasuga seat, which was nowhere to be seen at the end of class.

"It's the first time I've seen Ryomiya talk to someone for so long!

Well, what the hell are you talking about? I'm just asking her a few random questions.

"It's earth-shattering!"

Taniguchi deliberately made a very surprised expression. Kunikida suddenly plucked his head from behind.

"Ah Xu has always liked strange girls. ”

Hey, don't say things that can cause misunderstandings!

"It doesn't matter if Ah Xu likes to blame girls. What I can't understand is why Suzumiya would obediently chat with you. I really don't understand. ”

"Maybe Ah Xuan is also a weirdo?"

"Basically, the nickname is Ah Xu, so it shouldn't be normal. ”

Rather than being called this idiot all the time, it's more pleasant to call me by my real name! At least, I want to hear my sister call me "brother"!

"I'm going to listen to it too. ”

Suddenly, a soprano sounded rather light. When I looked up, it turned out to be the unpretentious smiling face of Asakura Sulfona.

"I've tried to talk to Tsuzumiya-san several times, but to no avail. She seemed to be avoiding me and wouldn't open up to me. Can you teach me how to talk to her?"

I thought about it a little. I pretended to be pondering for a moment, but I didn't even think about it.

"I don't know. ”

Asakura smiled after hearing this.

"Well, but I'm finally relieved. It's not a solution to be isolated by her classmates all the time, so it's really good that she can make you a friend. Here, here's a reward for you. ”

As she spoke, she stuffed two more pieces of candy into my palm.

"You have to continue to help Liangmiya-san mingle with the classmates! It's rare to be in the same class, and I always hope that everyone can get along well, right?

Alas, even if you say that, I don't know what to do!

"Please. ”

She pleaded with her hands folded. In response to her request, I could only reply with vague answers such as "ahhhh Asakura Hachisei took this as an agreement, and showed a yellow tulip-like smile, and then returned to the girls' pile. After discovering that the group of girls were looking at me, my mood suddenly fell to the bottom, and I could only hold the two pieces of candy in a daze.

I didn't think the candy was very good, but it was too strong to accept the sensation. But Fool No. 1 Taniguchi and Fool No. 2 Kuniki approached with rather terrifying faces, and then began to fight for the sugar in my hand. I had to put the candy in my bag to avoid their clutches.

"I don't care if it's spring. But why did Asakura Sulfona go out of his way to talk to you, too?" asked Taniguchi through gritted teeth.

I think this is your misunderstanding. She came to talk to everyone, so we gathered all the charms of the three men to attract Princess Asakura.

"Do you think we're blind, she came to you alone this morning!"

So you've all seen it!

"I really can't figure out what's so good about a guy like you. ”

"Ah Xu, we are good friends, we can still be good friends in the future......"

Kuniki and Taniguchi showed an empty look, why are there a bunch of fools around me.

With this delicate feeling in mind, I returned home. When I picked up the chopsticks and took my first bite of food, I couldn't help but be stunned. That's not your ordinary taste. Although it was originally a commonplace, it was not delicious and unpalatable, but this time it brought me an unusual subtle sense of irritability. It wasn't that strong, but it was a little surprising to me. I'm starting to understand Kasuga's thoughts.

"Mom, Mom! Ah Xuan seems to be out of order. ”

My sister was making a lot of noise, and I wasn't in the mood to care about her at all. If I eat one by myself tomorrow, then I can experience the state of mind of the cool palace. If I give Liang Gong another one, she should also eat happily, and then her mood index will increase significantly. Then, I asked her about the legendary "Ten Unsolved Mysteries of Haruhi Suzumiya", and she should answer me very straightforwardly.

And I have exactly two pieces of candy, which is just a break for Fecot.

It was only then that I understood why Sulfura Asakura had given me two candies this morning and two more at the end of school. It turns out that she has long known that Haruhi likes this candy very much, and wants me to share it with Haruhi as a way to get closer. It wasn't interested in me, but I got a little mixed when I thought about it. I don't understand why she didn't use sugar to seduce Haruhi herself, and I didn't understand why she came to me, but I suddenly realized that Asakura Sulfona was not only beautiful, but also very kind.

She's probably a lot smarter than I thought.
