"Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango Family......"

It was late at night, but on the main road by the sea, there was a burly young man, stammering and humming strange songs, while wandering aimlessly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Obviously, this person is me.

Traverser, Kazuya Uesugi.

Today is the seventh day of July in the 21st century.

Since the Meiji Restoration, the vast majority of Japanese people have abandoned the use of the old calendar, so even traditional festivals such as Tanabata are celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh month of the Western calendar.

It doesn't have much to do with me, though.

Japan and China in this world are a little different from the world I have traveled to, and they are much less influenced by Europe and the United States than in the "previous life", and the sacred day for young men and women to fall in love, in addition to Valentine's Day on February 14, is also very important on July 7.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a store that sells love gifts, and you can make a lot of money twice a year.

yes, that's all!

This is the correct conclusion of a completely logical reasoning, and it is definitely not a resentment that arises from the fact that everyone is in pairs and I am alone on the road.

Definitely not!

Damn it!

Those bastards who have no righteousness!

Yuuji, the playboy who stepped on two boats, and Ma Junlin Duo, the bad woman who played with innocent teenagers, were left aside for the time being; Okazaki and Furukawa, who have long been interested in having a concubine, are also nothing; But why is it that even Ito, Sawanaga, and Haruhara, the three bad boys, can find good girls who are willing to hang out with them at least out of sympathy! Am I going to have the same sickness as an alien student who seems to have never paid attention to the gender of the earthlings?

It's so damning! The old man under the moon, this irresponsible fairy! I curse you for eating instant noodles all your life without a seasoning packet!

"Naughty barbecue dumplings, gentle bean paste dumplings, everyone...... What's next? ”

Damn! Why do they all play with cute girls, but I have to try to memorize such awkward songs?

Moreover, the lyrics of this song "Dango Family" are too difficult to remember!

I'd rather fight Fallagni again than memorize these weird lyrics!

But this morning, after hearing the phrase "I don't sing," Nagisa Furukawa looked at me like an abandoned pet cat - and I failed.

There's no way, if she insists on not agreeing, what should she do if she cries?

“…… When everyone works together, they can form a ...... of 100 people What's the matter with 100 people? I opened the crumpled paper again and reviewed the lyrics.

Damn the dumplings!

When I was depressed, I suddenly heard a soft singing voice in my ears.

A Chinese Ghost Story? Or is it singing in the middle of the night?

Either way, at least it's going to be more fun than stupidly blowing the sea breeze and fighting this group of dead balls......

Following the singing, I came to a school.

The sign at the entrance of the school is printed with the words "Municipal Higashi Junior High School", which looks like a junior high school (junior high school is called junior high school in Japan), so isn't this one of the "seven incredible songs" that every school must have, "the midnight song that will kill you if you hear it"?

Very good, very good!

Because the contemptible people have always wanted to catch a female ghost to be a servant!

Actually, I'm also a trainee spirit detective now, and it should be no problem to ask Lord Hades, who often comes to the master's noodle shop to eat white food, to apply for a female ghost assistant. But I'm an innocent teenager (or rather, sullen) after all, and I can't say anything like that. And according to the master, most of the female ghost assistants are clever and weird, and they can't be provoked.

If you catch it yourself, you won't have these troubles.

As my spoils of war, or captives, of course, only slaves, and at most servants, I may rightfully throw all my troubles to her, and enjoy a pure life myself......

The question is, where can I catch a female ghost?

At least, the beautiful girl in front of me in sportswear and wearing a yellow headband didn't have any ghost aura.

"Immortals?"

The girl frowned and shook her head.

"Youkai?"

The girl seemed a little interested in what I said, but shook her head anyway.

"Thank you."

Since there are no female ghosts to catch, I'll continue to recite them.

"Hey!" As I turned, the girl spoke, sounding energetic and imposing, "What are you doing?" Is the illegal invasion of the school in preparation for stealing the personal belongings of the female students for indecent assault? Or are you planning to plant a time bomb inside a school building? ”

Now, do I look so much like a pervert or a terrorist?

"Should you tell me what you're doing before asking someone what they're doing?" After all, you're prie-opening the door to the sports room.

"You'll know it at a glance, stealing something." She justified her criminal behavior, as if it was commonplace to steal sporting goods in the middle of the night, just like eating and drinking.

This girl is not an ordinary person!

"I don't know who you are, but since you've met you, come and help," the girl's slight glaring looked cute, but the words that came out surprised me - when stealing something, would someone grab a random passer-by to be a helper?

"Well, I just woke up, passed outside and had nothing to do, and when I heard the singing, I came in and wandered around. You suddenly told me about stealing...... I haven't brushed my teeth yet...... "There is also a classic movie "Journey to the West" in this world, but I don't think a Japanese girl will remember the lines in it.

"It's nothing more than brushing your teeth!" Sure enough, she didn't know, "You just need to be honest and come to help!" ”

"But you'll have to give me a reason to help you first." For some reason, my COS soul is burning at the moment!

"Do you need a reason for this?"

"Don't you need it?"

Unfortunately, the girl did not say, "Do you need it?" as I had hoped. Instead, he stomped his feet impatiently, and angrily announced: "If you don't help, I'll call the police!" ”

To be honest, I don't think there's any chance they'll be able to catch me unless the Japanese police are all star-clans flying all over the sky in cloaks!

But being idle is also idle, right?

"Hey, I'm studying with you, why are you so serious......" I said Uncle Grape's lines, but my hand was very neat to break the iron general who locked the door of the warehouse. Then, under the command of the girl, who regarded theft as a common thing, she carried out a scribing machine and some lime powder.

"What's next?"

Looking at the empty playground in front of me and the things I didn't know what to use at my feet, I was a little confused.

"You just follow my instructions and draw a line."

Sounds simple......

"It's crooked over there!"

"It's fifteen degrees off this side!"

"Please, we're drawing circles, what are you doing with a big white spot on the ground?"

To be honest, although being commanded by an ordinary human girl to do this and that is very detrimental to the prestige of the spirit detective and the city's No. 1 bad boy, I don't feel embarrassed, but I admire this unknown girl.

Get along in a long place, if I am a weak girl, and I am bumped into in the middle of the night when I steal something, and the other party is still a super strong man who is tall and tall like a terminator, I am afraid that I don't have the courage to point fingers like this.

Looking at her bouncing and jubilant, I suddenly felt that maybe she had been lonely all along.

Yes, people with this way of thinking are probably very unsociable in Japan today......

Forget it, just play games with children.

Following her instructions, I drew a pattern on the playground that I didn't know exactly what it was, because her ideas were so wild, so I often had to draw a few meters here, and then carry the marking machine to the other end of the playground a hundred meters away. Fortunately, it's me, a guy who is confident that his physical strength is better than that of an elephant, and I'm afraid that ordinary people would have been tired and lying down.

More than an hour later, a strange pattern appeared on the playground.

"What is this drawing?"

When she was done, the girl magically pulled out a bottle of sports drink and threw it to me, and then we sat in the grandstand at the front of the playground and chatted over the strange pattern.

"Message."

"To whom?"

"Aliens...... Or the future man...... Or superpowers...... Or people from another world can ......," the girl said with a little uncertainty, "Anyway, as long as it's interesting, it's fine." ”

Is that "funny stuff"?

I don't think so.

After a moment of silence, the girl suddenly asked, "Do you think there are aliens in the world?" ”

"Absolutely." Because I have one around me, "I think they're all nerds, holding hardcover books and reading and reading all day long, and they are all books they can't read." ”

"And what about the people of the future?" The girl continued.

"It's only happening occasionally, but it does exist." Tomoya Okazaki and Nagisa Furukawa's daughter Shio Okazaki, of course, are the people of the future.

"What about the superpowers?"

"There must be, though not necessarily friendly." I recalled the battle not long ago, "Of course, there will be kind and reliable comrades in it, but the guy who looks handsome is actually the final boss." ”

"What about people from another world?" Does she like to break the casserole and ask the end?

"That's the most common, no matter how conservative the estimate, there must be at least a thousand." I'm not talking nonsense, according to the statistics of the Crossing Mutual Aid Alliance, there are currently more than 1,200 registered traversers alone, distributed in hundreds of worlds dominated by this world.

The girl snorted, but sounded pleased.

"What school are you from?" She suddenly asked a more practical topic, "Your school uniform looks familiar." ”

"Xiangbei is the school that reached the finals of the county high school basketball league last year."

"Look at your figure, are you a basketball player?"

"It's a shame that I don't play basketball." However, I regret that Senior Mitsui, who is keen on expanding the army, is not me.

"You're funny."

Interesting? I don't think so.

"Of the people I know, I'm kind of boring." Really, that Ibukiko with a wooden starfish is really interesting!

The girl drank her can of drink in one gulp and stood up suddenly, her big pretty eyes shining with the word "excitement".

"I've decided!" She said, "Next spring, I will also go to school in Xiangbei!" ”

"Welcome." It doesn't seem like a bad thing to have more interesting people in the school.

And, I'm looking forward to seeing the scene where she clashes with that serious Tomoyo Sakagami.

The midnight bell rang to mark the end of Tanabata.

"It's time for me to go home, too," said the girl, who walked down the stands, took two steps and then turned back, and put her face in front of me, and looked at me carefully.

"What's wrong?" It seemed that the shampoo mixed with the smell of some sweat penetrated into my nostrils and made me nervous for no reason.

Then, there is a gentle and moist touch on the cheeks.

"This is a thank you gift." The girl jumped out of the stands and bounced like a sturdy deer towards the school gate.

As she walked into the shadow of the doorway, she suddenly stopped, turned back and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Kazuya, Kazuya Uesugi." I hadn't recovered from the shock yet, so I replied subconsciously.

"My name is Haruhi Suzumiya, and I'll be in the same school from next year, so please take care of me."

Then, the sound of the hidden iron door turning.

Haruhi Suzumiya? Where does this name seem to have been heard......

I touched my cheeks, which seemed to still be warm, and looked down at the strange patterns on the playground.

I took out my phone and took a picture of it, and sent this pattern to Yuhiko Nagato.

"Do you know what this picture is?"

Yuhiko's reply arrived quickly, as brief as ever: "Galactic lingua franca." ”

Suddenly! Could this be the legendary "blind cat crashing into a dead mouse"?

"Do you know what this sentence is about?"

"I'm here."

Closing my phone, I looked in the direction of Kasuga's departure, shook my head in disbelief, and couldn't help but laugh again.

Haruhi Suzumiya, what an amazing girl.

I look forward to seeing you next year!
