The blue sky is like a wash.

Crisp and pleasant birdsong.

The cherry blossom trees lining the streets are already in bloom.

This is the scene that Mu Yue, who was standing in the yard, saw after pushing open the door.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air, Mu Yue had an expression of enjoyment on her face.

"Wait, wait a minute, Lazuki-chan!"

Mengzhu, who had changed his shoes in the hallway, took out a bright red scarf from the cabinet on the side and wrapped it around his neck, and then trotted to Mu Yue.

Standing still, raising his head, his round eyes looked Mu Yue up and down, and then Mengzhu stretched out his hand to gently help him straighten the tie on his chest.

"Mmmm, that's more spiritual!"

After doing this, Mengzhu looked at Mu Yue, who was carrying the shoulder bag on his shoulder, and skillfully handed over the schoolbag in his hand.

Naturally, he took the schoolbag from Mengzhu's hand, and the two pushed open the gate of the courtyard and came to the street.

"Meow~~"

On the wall of the neighbor's house next door, a three-color cat lay on it and looked at Mu Yue and Mengzhu who walked out of the door, and barked softly.

"Good morning! Dodo! ”

Mengzhu jumped to the side of the low wall, tiptoed slightly, took out a piece of bread from his pocket and handed it over.

The tricolor cat named Dodo took a bite of the bread slice, then put it in front of him, turned his head and stretched out his tongue to gently lick Mengzhu's palm.

"It's a bamboo girl? My family is thanks to you for taking care of ......"

Uncle Sun, a neighbor who walked slowly across the street with two bags of fresh vegetables that he had just bought, saw Mengzhu and Mu Yue standing outside the wall, and immediately said with a smile.

"Ahh It's Grandpa Sun, good morning! ”

Mu Yue: "Good morning! ”

Uncle Sun put the vegetables at the gate of the yard, and said while taking out the key to open the door: "Good morning, today my children are coming back from other places, and my wife has prepared a big table of dishes, and you two children will come over too?" ”

"No, Uncle Sun! I won't disturb you and Uncle Sun's family fun! ”

Mengzhu smiled and waved his hand, then walked to Mu Yue's side and held his arm, and the two said at the same time:

"We're going to school!" ”

"Walk slowly!"

◇

Mu Yue and Mengzhu arrived at the high school at about 8:15 in the morning.

Although they are childhood sweethearts and have been in the same school since childhood, Mu Yue and Zhu Mengzhu are not in the same class.

"Then, Tsuki-chan, I'll go first!"

After changing into indoor shoes in front of the shoe cabinet, Mengzhu smiled and waved at Mu Yue, and then left with the two female classmates who also met here.

After walking up to the third floor and properly confirming the class schedule posted on the corridor at the corner of the staircase, Mu Yue walked to the classroom where she would spend the next year.

[2 years...... Six-class]

Since an evil spirit attack occurred on the campus of a certain city many years ago, almost all the buildings in schools and other important places with high traffic in the country are now being built with the participation of professionals from the [Chongdao Palace] to arrange the use of enchantments against evil spirits.

Although it is still useless to face large evil spirits, small evil spirits such as Poor Shadow can no longer threaten the safety of this place.

It's like the private Shenyin High School where Mu Yue and Mengzhu are.

However, even so, underground shelters, the most traditional means of protection against disasters, are still essential.

Mu Yue's position is in the row by the window, but it is not the legendary protagonist's special seat "the penultimate row by the window", but in the middle.

Putting down the schoolbag, Mu Yue looked at the students in the classroom.

Although there is still a while before the class meeting, many people have already come.

Because I was promoted to the second grade, the students in this class were all reorganized.

There are people who have known each other before and are happy because they are in a class, and there are people who stay at the table alone and are bored and in a daze.

[Hmm...... I don't know a few people, and a few of them are people I didn't know much about in the class before.]

"Smack!"

Suddenly, someone slapped him the shoulder.

"Yo! O my dear friend! In this cherry blossom season, it is definitely a gift from God to be able to be in the same class with you again. Let's work hard to strengthen our friendship in the new year! ”

A voice full of vitality, full of the atmosphere of middle two and stupid, sounded.

Without looking back, Mu Yue showed a helpless smile on her face and sighed:

"I really don't want to see you again if I can."

"Oh, that's so sad to say! It's so sad! ”

The person behind him moved to Mu Yue's table as if performing a stage play, and posed in an exaggerated sad posture while turning in circles.

Half a head taller than Mu Yue, her sky-blue hair hangs down to her ears, although she looks very handsome, but because she always has an exaggerated expression on her face, she makes unfamiliar people dare not approach.

Cui Huacan, Mu Yue's best friend, is a "stupid" in two words.

"Sad? Just you, a stupid person whose brain capacity is not much bigger than a bug, I have never seen the word sad on your face for so many years, if it does appear one day, please remember to take a picture and send one to open my eyes. ”

"Wow...... It's really sharp and complaining as always! My heart seemed to be pierced by countless sharp arrows, and I almost couldn't breathe......"

Holding his heart and leaning back, Cui Huacan's performance attracted the attention of many people in the class.

Noticing the whispering people, Mu Yue rubbed his forehead and sighed again.

"If it's pierced through the heart, it should be dying, but can't breathe? Is your body a normal human structure? ”

"Classmate Mu Yue."

Inadvertently, a voice came from the rear without any ups and downs.

"Huh?"

The girl's voice, although it is very good, does not have any emotional (divine beast) color in it, as if it is mechanically synthesized.

Mu Yue turned his head.

A slender girl stood there quietly.

He has waist-length brown hair, hazelnut-colored eyes, a doll-like face, and a rimless pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Expressionless.

I haven't seen a girl before.,I think it's a student in another class in the first grade.,After being promoted to the second grade, it's in the same class as herself, right?

But why did you come to him?

Mu Yue looked left and right, and after making sure that the girl's eyes were facing her, she stretched out her hand and pointed at herself suspiciously.

“…… I? ”

The girl didn't answer, but she still stared at Mu Yue with a faceless face and nodded slightly.

[I always feel that I have been targeted by people who are very troublesome......]

With an ominous premonition rising in his heart, Mu Yue cautiously asked, "Excuse me, ...... are you?" ”

"I'll beat you in the next first monthly exam."

"Huh?"

Before Mu Yue understood what the tea-haired girl was saying, she turned around silently, then sat on the seat on Mu Yue's right, took out a book from the drawer and looked down.

[Strange Guy ......]
