Chapter 14: Preaching
The preaching room was large enough to accommodate everyone. The three classes that came to visit were lined up from front to back in the order of A, B, and C. As someone who shouldn't have been here, Nengnian Reina naturally sat in the last position.
But it's not disgusting. At least it's much better than sitting in front of you, surrounded by a crowd of strangers.
As the curtains of the classroom were drawn, all the lights in the room were extinguished except for the front, and a faint shadow separated her from the front, and Reina Neng felt even more relaxed.
On the podium, where the lights were shrouded, the heads of both sides were giving speeches, saying beautiful polite words in circles.
In the face of this kind of scene, the students in the audience have already experienced a hundred battles. His eyes looked straight ahead, his expression relaxed, and his spirit didn't know where he had gone.
Nengnian Rena is no exception.
Hiding in the shadows where no one was paying attention, the curiosity that had been forcibly suppressed on the road just now swelled up uncontrollably.
Is Shimizu-san still a student? So how did he appear in Toho and look like he had a good relationship with Toho's producers? Was it a coincidence that day in the café? Why did he come to help me?
When I looked up, I saw that the person who was speaking on the stage had been replaced by Horikoshi's student representatives. Nengnian Rena is relieved to immerse herself in her own world.
There are countless possibilities in my mind, but none of them seem to have enough evidence. It just made her blush and heartbeat while being inexplicably distressed.
What kind of person is Shimizu-san?
The girl in the middle of the struggle was finally awakened by the commotion in front of her.
Hurriedly raised his head and found that everything was business as usual, except that the person who was speaking on the podium had turned into a student of Waseda. So he quietly pricked up his ears, and the whispers of the girls in the front row floated over.
"Now, that's Shimizu-san over there, right?"
"Huh? Where is it? ”
"Next to the podium, against the wall."
"Really! It's so handsome..."
Nengnian Rena straightened her back, stared at the heavy figures in front of her, and searched hard for a while, and finally found Toru Shimizu in the shadow on the left side of the podium.
He stood against the wall, his long body straight. The expressions on his faces are blurred because they are too far apart, and only a rough outline can be seen like a sketch. With the short hair hanging in front of his forehead, there was only a sense of sharpness left when the whole person was transmitted to Nengnian Lingna's eyes.
It was like a cedar, and it was like a flash of white light flashing from the blade of her opponent's wooden sword during the previous kendo practice, which made her unable to take her eyes off for a while.
The girls in the front row were still talking.
"That's right, Yumi. In a moment, you can ask for the contact information of Shimizu-san. ”
"Why don't you go yourself?"
"I'm worried about rejection."
The previous discussion was silent for a few seconds, and then it sounded again.
"Speaking of which, Hasegawa-san over there is not bad, right? And it seems to be very talkative. ”
"But... Looks a little flirtatious... Maybe it's the kind of person who cares. ”
"Sure enough, it's still Shimizu Sang..."
"yes..."
There was silence for a while, but the noise elsewhere did not stop.
Perhaps affected by the sudden commotion, the man on the podium who was preaching seemed to be disrupted. The originally smooth words became a little stumbling, and the voice also revealed a nervousness.
It's finally the end.
"That's all for the part I preached, so let's ask Toru Shimizu to introduce his content."
As if relieved, the man wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with his hand, and hurried off the stage.
But the commotion in the classroom has not stopped, but has become more and more intense.
In the eyes of Nengnian Reina, every time Qing Shui Toru took a step on the stage, the light in front of the classroom converged on him, and the atmosphere in the classroom became more enthusiastic.
In addition to the discussion of the girls, there are also some voices of boys who pretend to be disdainful.
"What, what's so great about this level."
"I don't think he's a guy who does what he seems."
As if he hadn't heard these voices, Shimizu came to the center of the podium. Nengnian Reina's eyes were also bright enough to cover up other things.
If Shimizu-san becomes an actor, he will definitely be very popular.
Inexplicably, this thought popped up in her heart, and Neng Nian Lingna shook her head secretly: Even if he is not an actor, he is dazzling enough. On the contrary, it is himself, and if he removes this actor's identity, it seems to be useless. In terms of appearance, it is not as good as the predecessor of the same office, Yui-san Aragaki, and the school is only Horikoshi Junior High School with a correspondence system, and there is basically no hope of being admitted to university.
It's just the most ordinary girl. Thinking of this, she felt a little depressed for no reason.
The voice from the front row came again.
"By the way, Yumi, do you have a mobile phone? Take a picture. ”
"Is there a teacher watching?"
"What are you afraid of, someone else is filming anyway."
Sure enough, there was a shutter sound one after another.
The girl named Yumi looked left and right and took out her mobile phone as well.
"I'll see. Yumi: You've heard that legend too, right? ”
"Which one?"
"Under the cherry blossom trees at school, I can set the photo of my crush on my phone desktop to the desktop of my phone, and I can confess it after a month."
"You can't think about it, can it? I don't know where the nonsense came out. ”
"So what? By the way, send me a copy of the photo. ”
"Okay."
Perhaps these movements exceeded the limit of turning one eye open and one eye closed, and the teachers who were originally sitting in the back row got up one after another.
"Hey! What are you guys doing? ”
"Calm down!"
Taking advantage of the chaos ahead, Nengnian Rena took out her small silver mobile phone from her uniform pocket. Finding a gap where no one was looking, I lifted it over the shoulders of the people in the front row, and quickly pressed the "OK" key in the middle of the keyboard.
Toru Shimizu stood in the center of the podium, looking at the messy scene below, and the purple face of the vice principal Horikoshi next to him, he also had a little headache.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly approached the microphone with the palm of his hand, and a tooth-aching beep immediately came from the speakers throughout the classroom. Thanks to this, there was a momentary pause in the voices below.
Seizing this opportunity, Toru Shimizu coughed lightly and immediately began to preach: "Good morning, everyone, I'm Toru Shimizu, a second-year student at the Waseda Literature Department..."
With a sigh of relief in his heart, facing the manuscript in front of him, he remembered a face he had vaguely seen just now.
Is it a delusion?
Before he had time to think about it, he turned the pages of the manuscript in his hand.
……
“… That's the main plot of my book. The title of the book is "Night Hiking", and if you are interested, you can find it in the bookstore. That's all for my introduction, thank you. Next is the visit, please follow the arrangement of the teacher in this class..."
At the end of the seminar, the curtains of the classroom were opened. The sudden burst of light made Reina Squint's eyes narrow.
Before Toru Shimizu began to introduce, he accidentally made eye contact with him, so that Nengnian Rena could only shrink into the chair, and let the person in front of him block herself, in case there was another situation where her eyes met.
As for what Toru Shimizu showed on the projector, she couldn't see it at all. But listening to his voice, I still wrote down some things, such as...
"Night Hike"?
She was thinking about it when the Chinese teacher who brought her had begun to shout.
"The members of Class C were divided into small groups and followed the seniors of Waseda to visit. One group went to Hasegawa-senpai, and the second group went to Shimizu-senpai just now..."
When everyone in the classroom came out, he noticed Reina Neng, who was still in her seat.
"Nengnian, you just follow a group."
Nengnian Rena hesitated and raised her hand.
"That's... Is it okay for me to follow the second group? ”
"Whatever. Hurry up and don't make people wait. ”
Nodding, Nengnian Rena ran a few steps in the empty classroom, but slowed down again before the door.
