Chapter 159: Space Earthquake (6000 Words)
Shido arrived at the high school around 8:15 a.m. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After checking the class schedule posted in the hallway, I walked into the classroom where I would spend the next year.
"Year 2 - Class 4, is it?"
After the space earthquake occurred 30 years ago, the redevelopment of an experimental city built with the latest technology began in the southern part of Tokyo and Kanagawa Prefecture, which was turned into an empty space due to the space earthquake.
Shido is also one of them.
Proud of the fact that it is unimaginably a metropolitan school, it was established just a few years ago, and there is almost no damage to the interior and exterior decoration.
Of course, just like the universities in the old disaster-stricken areas, new underground shelters have been set up.
Because there were only a few people who could get in, it was a little hard for Shido who took the test just because he was close to home.
"Enββ......"
Moaning softly, he swept around the classroom without doing anything.
Although there is still a while before the class meeting, many people have already come.
People who are happy to be in the same class, people who are bored by themselves at their desks, have a variety of reactions...... Few of the priests knew him.
Then, when Shido turned his head to confirm the seating chart written on the blackboard,
"βFive Rivers Shidao"
Inadvertently, an unrepented voice came from the rear.
"Well......?"
Voices I haven't heard before. Wuhe Shidao felt a little incredible, and turned his head strangely.
It was, a slender girl, standing there.
A girl with hair that almost touches her shoulders and a doll-like face.
Like a puppet, I don't think there is anyone who doesn't describe it that way.
It was almost as upright as a measured artifact, and at ---- same time, there was almost no expression on her face.
"Eh......"
Shido looked left and right and tilted his head.
β...... Me?"
After confirming that there were no Gokawa Shido classmates other than himself, he pointed to himself.
"That's right. β
The girl didn't seem to be emotional, and nodded lightly while staring straight in the direction of Shido.
"You, how do you know my name......"
Shidao asked, and the girl tilted her head as if she felt incredulous.
"Don't you remember?"
β...... Hmm"
"Yes?"
Seeing that Shidao was speechless, the girl did not show any particular disappointment, and after a short speech, she walked to the seat by the window.
He sat down in a chair and took out a thick technical book from the table and began to read.
"What...... What, what the hell is going on, suddenly popping up and saying my name, as if I still know it very well..."
Shidao scratched his cheeks and frowned.
Looks like they know me, as if they've met me somewhere.
"Hey!"
"Ahem, who?"
Then, when Shidao was troubled, he snapped, and his back was slapped down beautifully by his palm.
"It hurts, why are you doing it, Toncho!"
At first glance, you immediately knew who the prisoner was. He shouted while stabbing his back.
"Oh, it seems to be very spiritual, SexualBeast Gokawa"
Hiroto Nayamachi, a friend of Shido, smiled as if he was boasting of a hedgehog head and muscular body fixed with hair wax as if he were boasting about his hairwax fixation.
β...... Sex... What?"
"It's SexualBeast, you **& amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; lt; (Shielded) bastard. After a while, I can't see it, and I start to mess with flowers. When will it become better to have an origami with a kite, huh?"
As he spoke, he put his arm around Shido's neck and asked with a wicked smile.
"Who is that?" "......Who is that?" Shidao showed a rather puzzled expression, this person's name... I haven't heard of it.
"Don't play dumb. Didn't you just talk to her very energetically?"
As he spoke, Tonomachi gestured to the seat by the window with his chin.
The girl who had accosted her before sat there.
Suddenly, as if sensing Shidao's gaze, the girl looked away from the writing and looked at it.
β......β
Shido held his breath and turned his gaze away in silence.
On the other hand, the town waved his hand and laughed as if he were familiar.
β......β
The girl didn't say anything in particular, and returned her gaze to the book in her hand.
"You see, that's it. It's also the most difficult of all the girls in our school.,Should I say it's permafrost or the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, or should I use γγγ£γγγΉ (Amamiya:DQ's ice attack magic).γ How can I please her?"
"Huh...... you, are you talking to me?"
"Of course, don't you really know, don't pretend to be stupid!
β...... Well, was there a girl like that in the previous class?"
After Shido finished speaking, Miyamachi spread his hands with a surprised expression of disbelief. This guy reacted in the same way as Europeans and Americans.
"A kite, a kite. The proud super genius of our high school. Haven't you heard of it?"
"No, it's the first time I've heard of it...... Isn't it amazing?"
"It's not just about being powerful. The results have always been the first in the school year, and it is not surprising that I got the top score in the country in the previous mock exam. It's certain that our ranking in the class will drop, so let's be conscious."
"Why would such a guy come to a public school, shouldn't he go to one of those good private schools?"
"Who knows. Maybe it's because of family?"
Shrugging his shoulders exaggeratedly, Tonomachi continued.
"And not only that, but the sports performance is also excellent, plus she is still a beauty. Last year's [Want to be a lover with her, women's rankings Β· BEST13] ranked third?
"I didn't even know there was such a thing. Speaking of BESTΒ·13, why is it such a half-baked number?"
"Because the girl of the organizer is the 13th"
β...... Ahh
"By the way, [I want to be a lover with him] was published to No. 358"
"That's a lot!? Isn't the bottom of the ranking close to the worst ranking? That's what the organizers decided?"
"Ahh Not crisp at all."
"How many are you in the city?"
"358-bit"
"Are you the host?"
"The reasons for being selected are: [love is too deep], [body hair is too heavy], [the nails of the feet and thumbs are too smelly]
"Sure enough, it's the worst list!"
"Well, to put it bluntly, the guy who ranked lower was the guy who didn't get a single vote. It's all about subtracting points to determine the winner."
"What kind of torture is that!
"Rest assured, Gokawa, you got a vote from an anonymous lady, so it's 52"
"I don't know what to do anymore!"
"Well, the other reasons are [it seems that I am not interested in girls] [I am a gay person at all]."
"Hurry up and cancel this ranking for me!"
"Well, calm down. At the very least, we were paired with me in the second place for the best couple in the school."
"It's not worth being happy at all!"
I howled uncontrollably. I am a little worried about the first.
But the tonmachi didn't seem to notice it (speaking of which, there was no intention of stopping at all), changed the subject, and said with his arms crossed.
"All in all, it's not an exaggeration to say that she is the most famous person in the school. "For the ignorance of Gokawa-kun, even the students of the town were taken aback
"No, what kind of character is that?"
Then, as Shidao spoke, the bell rang when he was so accustomed to hearing it in the first grade.
"Oops"
Speaking of which, I haven't confirmed my seat yet.
Shido looked at the seating chart written on the blackboard and placed his bag on the second row of seats by the window.
Only then, was it noticed.
β..... It's not that coincidental."
Maybe it's some kind of fate, but Shido's seat is next to the kite origami.
The kite origami closed the book before the bell rang and placed it on the table.
Then he looked straight ahead, and made a graceful gesture as if he had been measured by a ruler.
β.......β
For some reason, he was a little concerned, and Shido looked in the same direction of the blackboard as origami.
As if to meet the sight, the door of the classroom opened suddenly. Then a petite woman with thin-rimmed glasses appeared and walked to the lectern.
Small chattering voices could be heard from all around.
"It's a bead-chan ....."
"Ah, is it Xiaozhu-chan, that's great!"
"Really, it's amazing. The classmates let out a sound of joy
"Okay, good morning, everyone. I'm going to be your homeroom teacher for the next year, Everest Okayomine."
Speaking in a slow voice, Teacher Aokamine Zhuhui, a social science teacher, commonly known as Xiaozhu-chan, lowered her head, maybe it was not the right size, and her glasses slipped a little slightly, and she held it with both hands in a panic.
No matter how you look at it, it's a childlike face and a petite body that is about the same age as the students.,Plus that laid-back character.,It's a teacher who is proud of having a huge popularity among the students.γ
Subsequently,
β......β
Of the students who reacted in various ways, only Shido tightened his expression.
Because the one sitting on the left side of the Shido is tightly casting its gaze in the direction of the Shido.
β......β
For a moment, eyes met. As a herbivore, Shidao hurriedly looked away.
Why the hell are you looking at Shidao - no, it doesn't mean that you can't see it, it's possible that no one in front of you is looking at Shidao, in short, calm down first.
β...... When, what the hell ......?"
Muttering in a voice that no one could hear, Shidao's face was dripping with sweat.
After that, about three hours later.
"Five Rivers--γ Anyway, you're very idle, are you, can we go to dinner togetherβ?"
At the end of the school year, the students began to walk out of the classroom after packing their things, and Tonomachi, who had put their school bags on his shoulders, came over to talk.
There is no such thing as school before noon, except during the exam. Scattered and scattered, you can see groups talking to friends and going to lunch together.
Shidao was about to nod for a moment, and then he thought about it again.
"I'm sorry, I have an appointment today. β
"What? Is it a girl?"
"Ahh......h It's pretty much it. β
"What!!"
With both hands in a V and one foot raised, he reacted like a γ°γͺγ³ (Amamiya: Ezaki γ°γͺγ³ Co., Ltd., I guess NETA should be from their advertisement).
"What the hell happened during spring break! Not only did I have a good talk to that kite, but I also made an appointment with a woman to eat!? Have you forgotten that we swore together to become flame magicians!"
The origami on one side quietly pricked up her ears and listened to the conversation between the two boys.
"No, I don't remember swearing...... Speaking of which, it's actually a girl who says it's actually a piano?"
After Shido finished speaking, the town exhaled as if relieved.
"What, don't scare me!"
"You were the one who was shocked first!"
"But ah, it's okay with Kotori-chan. Can I go along?"
"Huh. I think it should be fine......
Then, before Shido finished speaking, the temple town put his elbow on Shido's table and whispered.
"Nana, Kotori-chan is in the second year of middle school. Do you already have a boyfriend?"
"Huh?" Shidao's expression was a little confused
"No, it doesn't mean anything else, Kotori-chan, about thirty percent of the older men are interested in her, "
β...... Sure enough, forget it, don't come, Sizhai steamed goose heart!"
Shido's eyes were half-open, and with a reluctant expression, he pushed back the face of the town who had come over.
"How is this!Ernie-chan~~~~" Tonmachi let out a terrible voice with a slow malice
"Wow! Shut up, it's disgusting to be called my brother."
Shidao frowned and waved his arms. Then Tonomachi stood up and shrugged his shoulders.
"Haha. Well, I'm not so bored that I want to disturb my brother and sister. Don't let your relationship go beyond the limits of the ordinance."
"What you said is redundant, but Kotori is my sister!"
After saying it while pulling his face, Tonmachi made an expression as if he was surprised.
"So you're a guy, aren't you super cute? Wouldn't it be the best to live under the same roof with a girl like that."
"If you had such a sister, this would definitely change!"
β and then, in that moment.
------------------------Woowoo woowoo woo
β.......οΌοΌβ
The windows of the classrooms swayed, and the streets sounded unpleasantly sirens.
"How...... What's wrong?"
Tonomachi opened the window and looked out. The alarm sounded, and many more were flying in the air.
The students who remained in the classroom also stopped talking and opened their eyes wide.
Then, the alarm sounded, and in order to make it easier to hear the words that were divided into paragraphs, a mechanical voice came.
"- It's not, training. It's not, training. Observed, foreshock. It is expected that a space earthquake will occur. If you are a resident of the neighborhood, please evacuate to the nearest evacuation center as soon as possible. Repeatβ"
In an instant, the students, who had quieted down, held their breath and began to listen.
- Space earthquake alert.
Everyone has been training various space earthquake and disaster avoidance measures since childhood, and they originally thought that this kind of thing should be very far away from themselves... Today, it seems to have become a reality.
"Hey...... It's really fake."
Sweat drooped down his forehead and made a dry sound.
But, including Shido and Tonomachi, the faces of the students in the classroom were a little nervous and uneasy, but they were still calm in comparison.
At least, there were no students who were in a state of panic.
Since this street was greatly damaged by a space earthquake 30 years ago, since Shido and his elementary school days, they have been doing frequent evacuation training for people who are annoying.
Plus, it's high school. An underground evacuation shelter is set up that can accommodate the entire school.
"The refuge is right in front of you. If you calm down and evacuate, you'll be fine. β
"Oh, oh, that's right"
Because of Shidao's words, Tonmachi nodded.
Walk out of the classroom at a speed that doesn't get to the point of running.
The hallways were already filled with students, lined up in the direction of the shelter.
ThenβShidao frowned.
There was only one of them, and in the opposite direction of the queue - a schoolgirl ran in the direction of the staircase.
"Kite ......?"
That's right, the skirt fluttering in the corridor is the kite origami.
"Hey, what's the hell! The Vault isn't over thereβ"
"It doesn't matter. β
The kite stopped for a moment when he was origami, and then ran again.
"It's okay...... Come back!"
Shidao hurriedly trotted up and grabbed the hand of the kite, and then said seriously:
"Even if something drops, you can't go back, what if the space earthquake is advanced?!"
In fact, space quakes do not occur immediately after the alarm is issued. If you rush back immediately, you can still catch it in time.
"Wellβ" Kite Origami stopped, glanced at Shidao, and then leaned against the wall on the side of Shido.
"Uhhhh
"Please, please calm down - come on, it's okay, slow down--! γγγ, γγΌγγΌγγΌ!
(Amamiya: γγγ principle: do not push, do not run, do not speak, this is the principle of evacuation in elementary school, the teacher bit his tongue, thank you for the translation of the natural disaster classmates.) οΌ
Then, from there, the voice of Zhu Hui, who wanted to guide the students to evacuate, sounded.
At the same time, snickering was heard among the students.
β...... When I saw someone who was more anxious than myself, I naturally calmed down. β
"Ahh
Shido smiled bitterly, and Tonomachi replied with a similar expression.
In fact, after seeing the appearance of the unreliable teacher Xiaozhu-chan, the students' anxiety and nervousness disappeared.
Then, remembering something, Shido took out the portable phone from his pocket.
"Well, what's wrong with Wuhe. β
"No, slightly. β
While fooling around appropriately, he chose the name of [Gokawa Kotori] from the call resume and dialed the phone.
But - it doesn't work. No matter how many times you try, the result is the same.
β...... No, I can't. Did you evacuate, that guy. β
It doesn't matter if you haven't learned it yet.
The problem is that it is already after school and then goes to the family restaurant.
No, there should be a public shelter nearby, which should be fine as a matter of common sense...... But Shido could not erase his uneasiness.
In his head, the words of "Absolute Yo --!" spoken by Jean rolled up a whirlpool with echoes.
"Although, although it was said that even if there was a space earthquake, I would definitely go...... No matter how good it is, you won't be stupid...... Wait, yes, there's that!"
Koto's mobile phone is supposed to have a service that uses GPS to confirm location.
When you operate a portable phone, you can see a map of the street on the screen, and a red icon indicates it.
Seeing that, Shido held his breath.
The icon indicating the location of the company stopped right in front of the family restaurant that had been promised.
"That, stupid......"
Cursing and turning off the screen, Shido closed the portable phone, and Shido left the student queue.
"Hey, hey, where are you going?!"
"I'm sorry! I forgot something!
While listening to the voice of the tonmachi coming from behind him, he ran to the staircase in the opposite direction of the queue.
With that quick change of shoes, Shido ran out with a rolling belt.
Leaving the school gate, he ran down the ramp in front of the school as if he was about to fall.
β...... In this case, you will usually evacuate......!"
Shido shouted as he ran as fast as he could.
"Wait. The kite folded in front of Shidao.
"I'm in a hurry! Sorry, Origami.... I don't know what your situation is, but I have to go!"
"Shidao just said that the space earthquake may erupt at any time, so hurry up and take refuge!"
"But!ah, forget it, I'll tell you, my sister is still within the range of the space shock! I'm going to go find her quickly!" said Shidao with some anxiety.
"Then let's go together. Origami naturally took Shidao's hand, and asked indifferently in Shidao's surprised gaze:
"Which direction?"
"Uh... Family restaurant..."Shi Dao said with a little blush, except for his sister, who was rarely held by girls, he was a little embarrassed.
"Let's go. Origami ran directly to the family restaurant with Shido in the way of a princess hug.
"Hey, hey, what's the situation, why am I being held by you, I can run myself!" Shido struggled a little confused.
"Because Shido is running too slowly. The kite didn't look at Shidao who was blushing in his arms, and complained very calmly.
"Why can you still complain seriously at this time! The space earthquake is about to explode!" Shi Dao was a little surprised by the speed at which he was holding his own origami.
