"Just that time, didn't you pick up my hat for me during spring break? White beret. Megumi Kato said calmly, explaining to An Yilun why he wanted to thank the other party.

"Ah~~ Is there such a thing......? Sorry, I don't remember at all. ”

An Yilun also seemed to be a little puzzled, probably for a while, but he really couldn't remember such a thing.

"I think so, after all, it was more than a month ago." Megumi Kato thought for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully, but her expression was still calm.

I guess this kind of thing is normal, like most people don't remember what they ate more than a month ago.

An Yilun also didn't care much, just nodded politely to this female classmate, and then looked at Xia Ran with a smile, and when she was about to say something, her eyes suddenly widened.

As if he was quite surprised, he turned his head to stare at the female classmate tightly, and said loudly-

"No, wait a minute!"

"Huh? What's wrong? Megumi Kato was also a little surprised, as if she was frightened by the other party's reaction, and her body subconsciously leaned back slightly, widening a little distance.

"No, no, you are, you are ......" An Yilun also looked very excited, and the words he said were incoherent, and then he pointed fingers, probably wanting to use sign language to assist communication.

It's a pity that even Xia Ran can't understand what he wants to express, let alone Megumi Kato.

"What's wrong with me?"

"At that time, I was wearing a white ...... Dress! That's right, it's a dress! ”

"A white dress? Ah, I seem to remember...... It seems that there is yes? Megumi Kato muttered, and her tone showed a very uncertain feeling.

“…… It seems like......? ”

"Because normally, most people don't remember what they wore a month ago." Megumi Kato replied with a straight face.

“……”

“……”

"That's right...... Ordinary, to put it mildly, words. An Yilun also looked like someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his originally excited expression cooled down because of this, and his smile was also a little reluctant.

The memory of more than a month ago came back to life, and the whole scene came alive and brightly in his mind, it was a day in the spring when he met with fate......

The sun shone in the dusk, the slightly colder wind blew by, and the sand and dust rose on the way home.

And, on the top of the ramp alone...... The second female classmate standing alone.

However, dreams are beautiful, reality is cruel, and memories are often embellished. It's like the reason why many things happen is just a simple accident, but human beings will forcibly put a so-called special meaning on it according to their own ideas, concepts, and conjectures.

Just like now, An Yilun has always felt that what happened on that day more than a month ago was an encounter between himself and fate.

But the ruthless fact is that the other party is the girl he knows the name of, and he hasn't recognized the girl in the same class who has met every day for the past month. And the other party himself didn't care too much about the events of the day, and he didn't think it had any special meaning.

- Although I still remember that incident, I have forgotten what I was wearing at the time, so I don't think it was a fate.

And most importantly, I seem to have made up my mind to finish School Days, and now it seems too late...... The boy hung his shoulders in frustration and sat down in his seat.

"That...... Did I say something I shouldn't have said? ”

Seeing An Yilun also like this, Megumi Kato frowned slightly, and looked back at the young man at the front table with some puzzlement.

"Don't worry, no problem...... After all, in life, there will always be a few accidents......" After Xia Ran thought about it, she said very heartily, comforting this girl.

"That's the way it is, but I think...... Don't just add surprises to other people's lives, right? ”

Megumi Kato's eyebrows twitched, and he said this with a somewhat subtle expression.

……

……

Time flies.

The huge fireball in the sky also unconsciously shifted from the position in the middle of the sky, gradually shifting to the west, and finally the afterglow of the slanting sun became soft and weak, and the heat contained in it was almost negligible.

Xia Ran sat in the classroom all day today, and what made him feel a little relieved was that he had not been treated like a giant panda in a zoo all the time, and he was watched by others.

No matter how new a thing is, after the novelty has passed, it will be like that. And many people have their own things to do, and they are all more reserved, even those girls often don't rush over immediately after class, pointing inside in the corridor outside.

This made Xia Ran a lot more relaxed - although there were still many people passing by, they would glance outside the classroom, and look exactly in the direction of his seat, but this was much better than at the beginning.

After half past three, the people in the classroom have all gone one after another, if they have not come home from school, then they are participating in club activities, of course, it is also possible to go to some couples dating places in pairs, do some things they love to do, and make some friends......

Occasionally, someone walked outside in the corridor dyed orange by the setting sun, and from time to time there was a slight sound of talking and laughing.

Xia Ran was still sitting in his seat, slowly flipping through the books in his hands. Because Megumi Kato has just gone out, she won't be back until later, and it's not too late to clean the classroom by that time.

As his fingertips stroked over the rough and textured pages of the book, lines of textual information flowed into his heart under the invisible tentacles of spiritual power.

After a full day of reading, he didn't even finish a book now, because he had never had such experience before, and the problem he always encountered in self-study was that he couldn't understand something, and there was no one to guide him.

Therefore, you can only read and figure it out over and over again, and try to understand it in context...... Read the book a hundred times, and its meaning may not be self-evident, but chewing the bones is definitely much better than swallowing dates.

And he is not completely without gains, after all, this is a book about the basic explanation of illusion, and he is more or less in this department, even if it is just the additional reinforcement brought by the use of skill scrolls, which adds him some necessary knowledge of the illusion department, but this is the introduction.

Combined with his superficial opinions and some insights during this period of time, Xia Ran did feel that his understanding of illusion had taken a step forward, and he had a deeper understanding, and he also denied some of his previous misconceptions.

In addition, although it is a discussion of the principle and mechanism of illusion, the content of the book itself cannot be really strict enough to not involve some specific spells at all, and the author himself will bring a few examples of spells when explaining certain content and giving examples.

It's not to specifically explain how that spell is cultivated, but it's a relatively brief brushstroke, just saying what kind of effect that spell has, and what kind of principle it works.

This is very valuable, because it pointed out the correct way of thinking to Xia Ran, or a reliable reference direction, and gave him some inspiration.

Although I know that I am not qualified to toss any self-created skills at present, if people don't have dreams, then what is the difference between them and salted fish? Besides, he doesn't necessarily need to create his own complete skills, optimize and adjust his existing abilities, and develop some small tricks for auxiliary use, which can still be considered.

"Xia Ran, can we start?"

A voice from behind him interrupted his thoughts, causing his fingers to pause slightly.

He looked back and found that Megumi Kato had returned to the seat behind him at some point.

"Why do you walk without a sound?"

"Huh? Have it? Could it be that you were so preoccupied with reading that you didn't hear it? ”

She tilted her head slightly and brushed her hair.

"And speaking of which, it's you who walks without a sound, and many times you walk past me, I don't hear a sound......"

“……”

“……”

Xia Ran silently closed the book and stood up: "Let's start, clean the classroom first?" ”

"Yes." Megumi Kato looked calm, and she didn't feel like she couldn't keep up with the jumping topic at all, and replied concisely.

"Then it's the hallway...... In other words, can you just just scan it once? You don't need to mop the floor and sprinkle water or anything, do you? Xia Ran looked around, estimated the workload, and felt that it seemed completely acceptable.

It doesn't take much time, after all, it's just the inside of the classroom, and a small corridor outside.

"This ......," Keimasa Kato wanted to answer.

However, at the moment, a cold voice sounded-

"So it was here, I thought you didn't come to school today."

Xia Ran raised her eyebrows, looked at the door of the classroom, and found a slender beautiful girl appearing in the corridor outside that was dyed orange by the sunset, with black hair blown by the evening breeze with a little orange dyed by the afterglow.

"It's a classmate under the snow, it's been a long time!"

The young man suddenly showed a hearty smile, and raised his hand and waved, looking like he had been reunited after a long absence.

"The way you greet is really hard to flatter? It used to be a day, but now it's a week, and this kind of "long time no see" is too cheap......"

He frowned slightly under the snow and pointed out the facts mercilessly.

"This? No, no, no, I say it from the bottom of my heart. Xia Ran looked at the girl very sincerely, "You can't just look at the appearance, you have to know that there are always some things in this world that can't be explained by common sense, and when you understand me, you won't say that......"

"That's a perfunctory statement, and forget about understanding you, if I do that kind of thing, I feel like I've stepped into a realm that isn't human." Hearing this, he sighed first, and then replied indifferently.

"Do you mean I'm no longer qualified to be human?"

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself." The girl smiled, and there seemed to be no malice in her smile.

"That...... Xia Ran? ”

At this time, a somewhat bland voice came from the side, which seemed to be boiled water, which attracted Xia Ran's attention and made him turn his head.

"Huh? Kato-san, are you still here? ”

“……”

“……”

"I've always been here." Megumi Kato's expression changed slightly, it was a subtle look with a hint of loneliness, a hint of sadness, and then a hint of resignation.

(PS: Suddenly I was notified that I couldn't do the year or something...... But the epidemic still can't stop the blind date, and I don't understand what they're thinking anymore (bothered...... ）
