At four o'clock in the morning, Yu Murakami heard the sound of rain outside the window.

This was the first sound he heard in December, and according to the custom of "what you did in the new year, what you will do all year long", this rain that does not know what is starting to fall, is it hinting at something

I don't have such a precious thing as real estate for the time being.

Tears are moving, joy, or sorrow

Or, it could imply that the month was dominated by rain

By the way, there is also a bleak atmosphere, hinting at the tragic ...... of the protagonist Forget about this, spare me.

"What Yu Murakami Woke Up Thinking When He Woke Up in the Middle of the Night" ended here.

for he was wrapped in a quilt and fell asleep again.

At nine o'clock in the morning, it was already clear outside, and he yawned and went downstairs.

Since December, I officially quit my job at a beauty salon, and today Ai Nakano, who happens to have no job on the voice actors' side, is grinding coffee in the living room.

Yu Murakami walked into the living room and sat down, neither reading nor brushing her teeth, just sitting there and watching her grind coffee.

It's actually distracted.

"Hmph" Ai Nakano hummed "Mr. Bear in the Forest": "Murakami-kun, please taste"

Yu Murakami reached out and took the cup and took a sip.

"It's bitter!"

He frowned slightly, looking at the coffee in his hand that didn't put anything.

"Ah, sorry, do you need milk?"

"It's okay, just sober up."

"Well, too, aren't you going to help Concave Sauce with a life negotiation today!"

"Got it, got it."

Yu Murakami is a character who has a long pain that is better than a short pain, so he drank all the coffee in one go, then got up and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.

After washing, changing clothes, and Ai Nakano said "I'm out", and then walked out of Sakuraso in her voice of "be careful all the way".

As Ai Nakano said, he has to go to the private Sakuragaoka today to give Yu Mubi something similar to a parent-teacher conference.

Therefore, the requirements of modern society for human beings are really too high.

The voice actor has to be crosstalk and funny; Baristas must know how to chat, and their appearance must not be ugly; Even as a tenant, I now have to help the landlord participate in life talks.

That rain is really hinting at something

After walking for more than ten minutes, the school gate of the private Sakuragaoka was reached.

Indicating his intentions, he got a sign similar to an admission permit, and walked into the campus.

In the hallway, he staggered past a lot of schoolgirls who were chatting together.

They all pointed at him, and their eyes were quite bold and explicit.

Yu Murakami had no choice but to hang his admission permit around his neck - it was a little cold when it came into contact with his skin, and he straightened his already straight shoulders.

{See, I'm a licensed person, and I'm not an unknown person who doesn't break into girls' schools.} ｝

But it didn't seem to be very useful, so he had to speed up.

found the second class of the third year where You Mubi was, and just as he was hesitating whether to call her out with his mobile phone or use manual operation, the classroom became noisy.

The female students in the classroom wanted to come out, and the female students in the hallway wanted to go in, but they were all hesitating.

Yu Murakami checked his admission permit, and sure enough, there was a word that I didn't know when it was going inside.

He flipped it over.

"Brother Yuu"

You Mubi walked out.

The other schoolgirls withdrew their gazes.

It seems to have dispelled the doubts in my heart {whether this man I don't know is a pervert and actually entered a girls' school}.

You Mubi took him to the teacher's office, and then the head teacher of the second class of the third year (a very energetic old man) took the two to a separate conversation room.

I won't go into the details of the conversation.

After all, the other party is an old man, and it is not worth Murakami Yuu to spend a lot of pen and ink to remember this past.

The general content is as follows:

The first is that Kuayu Mubi is a good boy. (Yu Murakami: The teacher taught well)

The second is that You Mubi has been recommended by the university, but she still participated in the independent recruitment of star universities and is a very ambitious child. (Yu Murakami: The teacher taught well)

Then he said that some parents should care more and support more, and keep the last hurdle of the college entrance examination, especially at home during spring break, and they can't let their children relax. (Yu Murakami: Okay, teacher.) ）

Finally, there are some irrelevant topics.

For example, the private Sakuragaoka is one of the best in Tokyo, and three-quarters of the students in the school plan to go on to higher education.

Then the teacher said with a smile on his face that three of them are applying for the so-called star universities, and a large number of students are successfully listed every year.

Yu Murakami didn't know what the other party meant.

hints that if he has a daughter in the future, can he be sent to a private Sakuragaoka to study?

This enrollment plan started for fifteen years, no, it's already December this year, and it is obvious that it is impossible for him to get married and have children, that is, sixteen years, considering that it will take another year to have children, that is, seventeen years.

Teacher, you're thinking too far.

"Youmu, you can take your brother around the campus."

"Thank you, teacher."

After saying goodbye to the "Director of Admissions", it was already noon.

You Mubi brought a lunch, but she didn't eat it, but took Yu Murakami to the cafeteria.

"Brother You, what do you want to eat, here are noodles, meals, bread ......"

Yu Murakami pointed to the window with the best number of people in line.

"That's it."

"Eh" You Mubi's face showed obvious disgust: "Brother You, you still sit and wait for me, I'll buy it for you." ”

Yu Murakami's human rights in Sakuraso are in jeopardy.

After buying a meal, the two found a corner to eat.

Yu Murakami noticed that many students were also reading books while eating.

The suggestion of the "Director of Admissions" seems to be not bad, and he will consider this school when he has children in the future.

The premise is to give birth to a daughter.

After eating, You Mubi took him around again.

The school building is quaint, and there are even pigeons on the ridges.

In the atrium there is a statue of unknown whom, with a wreath around its neck.

You Mubi led him around the playground, and he saw the "dog hole" that he entered illegally with Higashiyama and Sakura Suzune last time.

Suzune Sakura ......

Then there is the stone that reads the school motto "Life is based on simplicity and heart is high in abundance".

When Yu Murakami was about to say goodbye, he saw a wisp of white smoke coming from behind the school building.

"Concave sauce, what's that?"

“h！”

"Hmm"

"It's burning, burning...... Oh yes! ”

"Which book is it or the desk wood?"

“...... Sanitary napkins are ready! ”

"Oh."

Murakami replied, indicating that he heard clearly, but he didn't know what to say next.

may have said those three words, the bottom line of shame was broken, and You Mubi did not change the topic.

"Sanitary napkins, cotton wool....." You Mubi waved her hands a few times indiscriminately: "Anyway, that's what it's used anyway!" ”

Yu Murakami nodded:

"Girls' school, this is inevitable."

"Brother You, you're very hh

“......”

Yu Murakami feels that what he said is quite official and formal.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see where our school keeps animals."

"Okay."

Yu Murakami followed her, but the wisp of white smoke was always in their sight.

There are about 1,000 students in this school, and if a fifth of them comes, it's 200.

That is, the amount of two hundred people needs to be burned every day.

Thinking of this, the curling appearance of the wisps of white smoke rising into the clear winter sky is still engraved in Murakami's mind.

This is no ordinary white smoke.

In the days that followed, he also visited the private Sakuragaoka a few times, but never saw that scene again.

I don't know if it's the wrong time, or if it's banned because of environmental pollution.

After seeing the rabbits, chickens, and ducks, the lunch break was over, Yu Mubi went back to class, and Yu Murakami returned the school entry permit and went out of the school gate.

Where to go next, there are still two hours before the afternoon work, go back and take a nap.

On the way back, Yu Murakami went to the bookstore closest to Sakuraso.

Goblin Slayer had finished reading it yesterday, and there was a reason why he didn't read it this morning.

The bookstore is very small.

Open the door and place the left side against the wall, the middle row of shelves, and the right side against the wall.

No, that's all.

Yu Murakami is also visiting for the first time.

The owner is a somewhat fat middle-aged woman, with a hairstyle that adds literary temperament, and her face is average.

The only bright spot is that there is no makeup.

"Here's a best-selling list, you can refer to it."

The female shopkeeper who didn't wear makeup handed over a very simple print sheet.

Yu Murakami prefers to find books slowly by himself, but he does not refuse the other party's kindness.

On the list, the number one seller is "Women's Magazine".

It's not how popular it is, but it's with forty-eight {x, raw, live} techniques in the appendix.

It is said that it will be updated every issue.

Tut.

Yu Murakami put the list back and walked around the bookstore twice.

There are no world classics such as "The Catcher in the Rye", "The Kite Runner", and "One Hundred Years of Solitude" (Murakami Yu doesn't read these), and there are no light and comics that he likes to read.

Mostly practical reference books.

It's a great place to farm your skills.

Yu Murakami didn't buy a copy, turned around and walked out of the bookstore.

Forget it, go straight back, and after the afternoon work, go to the big bookstore to have a look.

Back at Sakuraso, Higashiyama also returned.

Yuu Murakami sat down.

"Murakami-kun, I just happened to have something to look for you."

"What's the matter?"

Higashiyama has appeared in both the "Shura Field" and "Spring Things" animations, and Murakami wonders if it's a matter of this.

"I'm going to shoot the MV of the album "Moonlight is Beautiful" tomorrow, can you come with me?"

"Can you ask me why I came along?"

"Look." She took out the MV script and pointed to a few scenes inside: "I need to wear a spring school uniform here, and there is a night scene shooting at night, it's very cold"

"Well, it's cold, you mean, I'll follow you with a heater but I don't have that long wire."

"Nasty" Higashiyama patted Yu Murakami's shoulder, thinking he was joking: "I mean, you help me get my clothes." ”

"Take the clothes"

"Yes, you see, I don't have an agent to follow, and I don't know the staff of this MV production team, so I'm embarrassed to let others take it."

Higashiyama put away the script, blinked with big eyes "poof" and "poof", stared at Yu Murakami and continued:

"The point is, you'll be fine tomorrow, anyway, stay at home, just take me out for a walk, okay?"

Yu Murakami is indeed nothing to do tomorrow.

In the coffee shop, Miko Sanada is closed for two days (today and tomorrow) due to Kitagawa Tamako's participation in the semifinals.

Just as he was about to say yes, Ai Nakano said:

"Murakami-kun, you can go with her, I'm a little scared alone."

"Afraid"

"I hate it, didn't Aiyi-chan say it and couldn't say it?"

Yu Murakami looked at Ai Nakano.

Ai Nakano explains:

She hadn't met anyone from the MV production team, and she was always worried that something would happen. Let you accompany him to this matter, she hesitated from the morning until now, and only now will tell you. ”

"Hmm"

Higashiyama covered his face with his hands, and his body writhed shyly.

Persecution paranoia

But it's better for girls to have this awareness in their hearts than nothing.

Murakami Yu's index finger tapped on the table:

"Why don't you let Sakura accompany you?"

"She's going to attend Mizura-chan's birthday party tomorrow, so I'm not embarrassed to say it."

Higashiyama slowly moved his hands down, revealing his big eyes, and looked at Yu Murakami expectantly: "How is Murakami-kun?"

"Okay." Yu Murakami nodded.

"Great! Murakami-kun is the best! ”

Higashiyama spread his hands and wrapped his arms around Yu Murakami's right arm.

Her height of 152cm is too petite, she is obviously twenty-one years old, but her face is like a child.

Yu Murakami flexed his left hand and flicked it at her head.

"Ouch!"

Higashiyama covered his head with his right hand, and then slapped Yu Murakami's shoulder with his left hand.

"Nasty! Hum! Ignore you! ”

Ai Nakano smiled and said, "You ignore him now, what if he regrets it"

"Ahh

Higashiyama glanced at Yu Murakami with a weak heart and found that he was expressionless.

Isn't it angry

Then she leaned her head over, her lips curled into a ball, her eyes were closed, and she said with the ambition of seppuku to commit suicide:

"Murakami-kun! Please! ”

Yu Murakami was naturally not polite, and came to her head again.

"Ouch!"

Higashiyama covered his head with his hands, pretending to be pitiful and staring at Yu Murakami:

"You, do you still want it, or else, another day, I'll be on camera tomorrow."

“......”

{Higashiyama is usually a serious person}, if he remembers correctly, this sentence was said by Sakura Suzune

It seems that she needs a pair of glasses more than herself.

"By the way, Murakami-kun," Ai Nakano said, "Tomorrow seems to be Mizura-chan's birthday, do you want to give her a gift?"

"Why" Yu Murakami gave her a strange look: "I'm not familiar with her." ”

"But aren't you guys acting together now?"

"Is there anything to do with the two?"

“......”

Ai Nakano sighed.

Yu Murakami smiled and said, "I have no intention of becoming friends with her, and I don't like to talk in the dubbing room, so why should I give her a gift"

If it's his own birthday, there is a person who has a relationship that is only a little stronger than a stranger, and suddenly gives himself a gift, except for feeling troublesome, there will be no other emotions.

"You have to participate in the event, everyone be friendly with each other, even if you don't give gifts, you always have to send a message of blessings."

"I don't have her contact information."

"I'll give it to you, her ......"

"Don't, don't!" Yu Murakami quickly stood up: "I'm leaving, and there will be the dubbing of "Sword Art Online" in the afternoon." ”

Ai Nakano gave him a blank look, and temporarily gave up his plan to let him run his interpersonal relationships.

Murakami Yu went out and remembered that he seemed to have come back for a nap.

"Hey."

It seems that his human rights in Sakuraso are really a bit in danger.

Leaving early, Murakami simply went to the bookstore to buy books.

Pick and choose, bought the "Classical Department Series", it is said to be what kind of youth reasoning.

Yu Murakami is looking forward to decrypting it with the protagonist group.

has new expectations in his heart, his mood has improved, and when he dubbed, he did it in one go.

Well, there's no direct connection between the two.

But if you're in a good mood, you're lucky, isn't it anyway, life has to be smoother, his life is as plain as water, so he can only forcibly put on the dubbing.

When I got home, after eating and taking a shower, Yu Murakami began to watch "Classical Part Series".

The first volume of "Ice Candy" was okay, but by the end of the second volume of "The Fool", Yu Murakami realized that something was wrong.

"This is obviously a book of love!"

Yu Murakami's mood went from pleasure to dullness in an instant.

At this time, it happened to be raining lightly outside.

The two still have nothing to do with each other.

At half past eleven, Yu Murakami went to the toilet and prepared to go to bed.

Lying in bed and listening to the sound of the rain, he suddenly knew the answer to the question {woke up in the early hours of the morning and heard the sound of rain}.

It's just a simple echo from beginning to end

But wouldn't that be too easy?

Well, it doesn't matter.

So, on this night, due to the fact that I went to school during the day and communicated with the teacher, Yu Murakami, who hadn't dreamed for a long time, dreamed of the Chinese teacher in my previous life.

He said {How can I tell you to write more answers without deducting points!} }

After that, it's about what sets the mood, what hints and so on.

Yu Murakami stood in the classroom and saw the words "Happy Graduation" clearly written on the blackboard behind the Chinese teacher.

Ignoring the Chinese teacher's teachings, he looked out the window of the classroom.

Sunlight is streaming down from the branches of the cedar that some students say are hundreds of thousands, and some students say they buy millions.

Looking back, the Chinese teacher was still talking about the solution to the question type.

"Teacher, I was wrong, I will try to fill the answer next time."

In addition, he always felt that he could faintly see a strange wisp of white smoke.
