Chapter 5: The Last Day
Ministry of Ministry.
A strange non-public club, club activities are to lend a helping hand to those in need, to accept various commissions from school students, and once they accept commissions, they must fulfill their responsibilities.
The classmate under the snow stood condescendingly in front of Xia Ran, and declared to him sitting in a chair-
"People who have compassion give to those who are in need, people call them volunteers, just like developed countries give out development aid, people give food to the homeless, girls talk to undesirable boys, and help people in need, that's the activity of this community."
I think there's something strange mixed in with it, but if you understand the meaning, you'll be fine.
However, it is precisely because this club is so special that its existence itself has not been made public, and it still has to go through some necessary means of contact, and this contact person seems to be the club's advisor, Mr. Hiratsuka.
Therefore, there is no need for a special environment and special equipment, the number of people is insufficient and will not be abolished, club activities do not need funds, and even the door number is nothing, a blank.
Ordinary people don't even know that it exists, and it's impossible to apply for admission normally.
"It sounds amazing, but to put it bluntly, it's a volunteer, and it's still the kind of ...... who does everything."
In the activity room of the Ministry of Service, Xia Ran, who was the only one left, was lying on the table, looking a little listless.
Xuexia didn't plan to skip class, so after getting his application for admission and explaining the relevant matters, he left directly, probably coming back in the afternoon.
It doesn't matter if Xia Ran goes to class or not, it's better to say that it's normal to have him in the classroom.
Brushing –
"Boy, how do you feel! I see you seem to be very entangled......"
At this time, some overly cheerful voices sounded, and along with it, the sound of the door of the activity room being pulled open directly.
"Mr. Hiratsuka...... Please knock on the door before trouble comes in. Xia Ran was slightly startled, turned his head to look and couldn't help but complain, "And didn't you go back to class?" Why are you still here? ”
"I know, I know, don't just start learning to learn under the snow right away, and now it's out of class...... If you don't come and see, I always think you won't do what I say, little ghost. Mr. Hiratsuka said with a smile.
"Little ghost ......" Xia Ran raised his eyebrows, instinctively wanting to make a fuss on the topic of age.
However, considering the painful lesson before, and having also seen the state of Hiratsuka-sensei's rampaging first machine, he still wisely chose to give up and endured it with great self-respect.
The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and when this woman talks about her age, she will become particularly terrifying, and her combat power may soar to the level of dismantling the Gundam empty-handed, so it is better not to die.
"Don't put on such an expression, the teacher is also thinking about you......" Hiratsuka-sensei walked up to his side and reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's a pity that the 'good for you' set doesn't work on me...... Let me explain first, it's not that you can let me do such and such things under the banner of being good for me, Hiratsuka-sensei. Xia Ran pursed his lips.
"Of course I know that, but ...... At least you're not really repulsive in this matter, are you? ”
The female teacher mercilessly pointed out the facts-
"People are social creatures, and no one really thinks it's best to be alone. You were just disconnected from your surroundings because of force majeure, and now you can't fit in as a matter of course. ”
So she has to push this guy forward, and only under this semi-forced nature of the push, this guy will develop in a good direction.
Many people are like this, they seem to be very reluctant to do something, and they have to be pushed by others. Many times they don't really reject or dislike it, but if they are alone, they are always unable to make up their minds and muster up the courage to take steps.
So at that time, there has to be someone behind them to push them to do it, and they will move forward half-pushing.
"Hush."
It was probably because Mr. Hiratsuka was too pointed, and Xia Ran was speechless for a while, so he could only look away.
"What the hell! Your attitude is rude! Mr. Hiratsuka was a little annoyed and reached out and poked his head, and said hatefully, "To be honest, how are you feeling now?" ”
“……”
“……”
"I don't feel anything yet, and it's not like that as soon as you join, it will have an immediate impact, and this is not the aura in the game, as long as you have a team, you will immediately see the real effect bonus......"
Xia Ran put on an expression that didn't feel funny at all, said coldly in a flat voice, and once again lay listlessly on the table.
Then, remembering the girl's previous performance, he had a rare and somewhat uncertain look: "And she is under the snow...... She seems to have some preconceptions about me? ”
"Why? I don't think she's going to have any preconceptions about anyone, do you think you're special? Hiratsuka-sensei asked with interest.
"I don't know, I just asked her name, and if I wanted to get to know her officially, her expression became very strange......" Recalling what happened just now, Xia Ran was sure that he shouldn't have shown anything abrupt and rude.
“……”
“……”
There was a strange silence, and he couldn't help but look up at Hiratsuka-sensei, only to find that the latter's expression had also become strange.
"You say, you just asked her name, want to get to know her? Didn't you know under the snow before? Hiratsuka-sensei didn't know why he had a slightly happy expression. That's what you say, right? ”
"I don't know...... By the way, should I know her? Xia Ran tilted his head in confusion.
"Of course, it's abnormal not to know, right? Under the snow, she is a beautiful girl who everyone in the school knows...... By the way, she used to be the top student in her grade in both the quiz and the final test, and the deviation value ranked first. ”
The governess said with a smile, focusing on the pronunciation of the word "before".
First in grade? Xia Ran felt as if he understood something.
"Xuexia classmate has always been right, so correct that there is no room for refutation, but who knows how hard she can do it and how much effort she has put in behind it? Others always take this kind of thing for granted. ”
Mr. Hiratsuka shook his head, as if he was a little amused, and he meant something.
It seems that the past can be summed up with just a fluttering sentence of "she is an honor student...... She hates it, but you're a negative example, and you don't even remember your name after defeating your opponent, and you look down on people too much. ”
"I just don't pay much attention to this aspect......" Xia Ran shook his head a little weakly, trying to defend himself.
If that's the case, he can probably understand why that girl behaved like that, whether he really didn't know the "ignorance" she showed, or the "arrogance" that he pretended not to know, as if mocking-
This is not a good feeling from the other side's point of view, probably similar to the provocation kind?
After all, even Mr. Hiratsuka, who has the closest relationship with him in this school, doesn't seem to think that he didn't know Yukishita-san...... But think about it, even if a normal person is closed to the news, they shouldn't know nothing.
But he wasn't normal - many times, not only did he not come to school, but he also had an extremely confusing sense of time, and on the surface he might not have been there for a month, but it was likely that he had been out of school for a year and a half or even longer.
If he hadn't developed the habit of writing a diary, and by the way, to mark what he was going to do in reality, whether he would be able to remember who he was or a student would be another matter.
However, it's impossible to explain this situation to others, so I can only bear the damn side effects myself...... Although in a sense, this is really his golden finger, but it has really caused great inconvenience and confusion in his real life.
"Well, can I quit the Ministry?"
After thinking about it again and again, Xia Ran still held the hope of what happened, and asked Mr. Hiratsuka.
Teacher Hiratsuka smiled slightly, raised his hand and stroked the long black hair around his ear with the taste of a little woman, and then said with an extremely gentle expression:
"Xia Ran, don't think too much, in the next period of time, please enjoy life......
"You give me wait! What's the deal with this feeling of telling a terminally ill patient to enjoy the last period of their lives?! ”
……
……
In the end, Xia Ran still did not quit the club.
However, the next development is not as sinister as he imagined, although there are only two people in the entire club at present, he and Xuexia Classmate.
The girl was very punctual, and appeared in the activity room after half past three in the afternoon, but the two sides obviously did not have any common topic, just said hello plainly, and went their separate ways.
However, it seems that she did not care about the morning's affairs, although the attitude shown is still the same detachment.
The breeze swayed the curtains, the setting sun slanted into the activity room, and the quiet atmosphere spread unconsciously, whether it was a girl or a teenager, they were all sitting on a chair in the middle of the activity room at a certain distance.
And the movements and demeanors are surprisingly consistent, all of them are looking at the books in their hands quietly with calm expressions.
Xia Ran is the same, he is not pretending, but really reading. Anyway, it's confirmed that Yukino-sani is not a cautious person, and it's okay if he doesn't hold grudges, so he doesn't have to stick it with a dead face.
Although I also had the idea of having a good relationship, the girl is obviously a very cold kind of character, so it's better to go with the flow and be yourself.
Speaking of which, this ministry is not without benefits, if no one disturbs him, he can stay here all day, without thinking about where to spend his lunch break, and whether he will be interrupted by people he doesn't know.
Xia Ran thought so quietly, flipping the pages of the book in his hand in the breeze blowing outside the window, it was a book of poems.
