Chapter 5: The Guardian Spirit

"Crunch-crunch-"

Some shrill cicadas chirped from the trees next to the school building.

There is still more than a month left, which is the summer vacation.

Even if it is not yet the height of summer, the voices of the cicadas have a slight sense of hoarseness.

In an empty activity classroom.

It is undoubtedly a very private space.

There is no such thing as surveillance in the classroom.

Just imagine, a lonely man and a widow, in the same room.

Plus the labels of "classroom", "summer", "restless youth" and "childhood sweetheart".

Such a plot often unfolds in some strange direction.

But in the classroom now,

The man and the woman were ......

Serious study?

That's right, it's learning!

Learning without any impure connotation.

As a Harukawa Shirakawa with two life memories, he naturally understands the importance of learning.

In Japan, it can even be said that studying has become even more important!

Don't look at the fact that many people say that Japan has a "liberal education" and a "happy generation", but in fact, this statement is definitely not aimed at all Japanese high school students.

It's for the majority of students in public high schools, as well as those in the lower grades of private high schools.

Their grades will not be able to get into college.

Often in a short college, that is, a junior college, after two years, you will go into society.

As a result, it naturally became a relaxed education and a happy education.

It's all over the mix.

You must know that the rate of going on to university after graduating from high school in Japan is only a little more than 50%.

It can be seen that if you don't study hard, you may not even be able to get into college!

And the solidification of class, as well as the existence of the doctrine of "academic supremacy", it is conceivable what life will be like if people who can't even get into college!

There's nothing wrong with learning to change your fate.

Therefore, after knowing this, Shirakawa Qing was determined to study hard.

And his goal is Todai!

Even if he experienced something like that yesterday, he still couldn't stop Harukawa Shirakawa's love for learning.

"Ayane, I think the solution to this problem is a bit ....."

Harushi Shirakawa and Ayane Inoue sat across the table.

When encountering a problem, Shirakawa Harushi pushed the exercise book in front of Inoue Ayane and asked questions humbly.

It's a shame to say that in Bai Chuanqing's memory of planting flowers, the knowledge about learning is almost forgotten.

It will take a lot of time to pick it up again.

In terms of learning, he is not at all comparable to Ayane Inoue, a super scholar.

Inoue Ayane did not give an explanation for the answer to the previous question, and Shirakawa Harushi did not ask again.

Because he knew that if his friend was willing to answer, he would definitely take the initiative to explain.

It's like Inoue Ayane didn't ask him why he asked such a question.

This is some kind of tacit understanding between them, right?

"Rustling ......"

The sound of pencils sliding across the workbook is interspersed with the sounds of teenagers and girls talking.

Serious, and focused.

This should have been a pretty beautiful picture.

If it weren't for the almost transparent figure that was floating beside Ayane Inoue.

From the moment he first entered the door, Shirakawa Harushi saw such an existence.

However, there was a morning experience.

In addition, in front of his friends, Shirakawa Harushi has achieved strict self-management of facial expressions.

And self-hypnotic in the heart -

Assume you didn't see it...... Assume you didn't see it..... Assume you didn't see it.....

It's just that......

How can you really not see it!

A big figure floated to the side like this, so that Bai Chuanqing was not so focused on his studies.

However, Bai Chuanqing clearly saw it.

This ghost is very different from the hanging girl in the family.

Her body, like the Hanging Girl, was not filled with shadows, but emitted a faint, white glow.

temperament, not cold and weird.

It looks very peaceful.

Even if Shirakawa Harushi didn't have this knowledge before, judging from common sense, it was probably the difference between resentful spirits and non-resentful spirits.

This is a gentle and quiet woman.

No strange behavior.

It's just that he quietly stared at Inoue Ayane.

Occasionally, he will turn his attention to Harushi Shirakawa.

And in that gaze, there was only warmth, like the smell of sunshine.

"Alas......"

Bai Chuanqing sighed silently in her heart.

From the woman's somewhat similar face to Ayane, and what he had heard about Ayane.

can already recognize that this should be Ayane Inoue's mother who died in a car accident when she was a child.

Since this incident, she has become the facial paralysis she is now.

Expressions rarely change.

Even if he dies unexpectedly, he still wants to protect his daughter's obsession......

[Guardian Spirit], most of the time.

Harukawa Shirakawa was silent, not knowing what to say.

"Qing-kun?"

Inoue Ayane asked indifferently.

In his tone, there was a rare fluctuation of doubtful emotions.

"Why, keep staring at me...... Dirty on my face? ”

Harushi Shirakawa: "......"

"No, it's okay......"

Harukawa Shirakawa explained in a hurry.

Staring at other girls, although he doesn't actually see Ayane, it's always a rudeness.

And apologized.

"I'm sorry I accidentally got distracted."

"Hmm."

The girl sitting opposite nodded slightly, then lowered her head, and focused on the book that Bai Chuanqing couldn't read, and stopped talking.

"Hoo ......"

Harukawa Shirakawa exhaled carefully, he was really worried about what Ayane could see from his anomaly!

Supernatural existences, this kind of thing, let me know for the time being.....

For the sake of his friend's safety, Shirakawa Harushi thought so.

Having said that, as a childhood sweetheart who has known each other for many years.

Especially the other party is still a rare beautiful girl.,Even if it's weird in some ways.。

Harukawa Shirakawa does not deny that he has a certain affection for Inoue Ayane.

But for the time being, it's just a good feeling, and Harushi Shirakawa, who has integrated memories and matured thoughts, doesn't think it's a good time to fall in love.

What is most important in high school life?

Yes.....

Talk ..... Learning, of course!

Only by studying can you make your high school life perfect and spend it without regrets!

However, Ayane Inoue's more indifferent attitude is also one of the reasons why Harukawa Shirakawa did not decide to fall in love.

That's why their relationship is just friends, not lovers.

At this moment, Shirakawa Harushi saw that the guardian spirit beside Inoue Ayane suddenly burst into a smile.

Warm, warm,

But with a touch of sadness......

His gaze stayed on Bai Chuanqing's body, and it seemed to be full of deep meaning.

Then he nodded gently, and in a gust of wind, he turned into a white point of light and hovered around Inoue Ayane.

until nowhere to be seen.
