Megumi Kato was sidelined.

It's hard to describe the atmosphere.

At first, I didn't know who said it, but over time, everyone knew that Megumi Kato was a "difficult to get along with" girl.

"The personality looks gloomy."

"It's hard to talk."

"Inviting her out is always denied."

“……”

Atmosphere.

You can't see it, you can't touch it, but it's real.

From home, to school, to work......

The atmosphere is inescapable.

Although the atmosphere cannot be hidden, it can marginalize a living person to the point of "invisible".

Tetsuya Ayakoji also remembered "Another" that her senior sister was writing now.

Although it is to fight the curse, the oppression of the atmosphere of choosing someone in the class as a "non-existent person" and making everyone in the whole school ignore his existence can definitely make people doubt themselves.

And in terms of setting, the male protagonist Sakakihara Hengichi was also constantly joked about by people at the original school, which led to a pneumothorax attack and had to transfer to Yemiyama.

Literary works are able to reflect social reality.

Compared with the kind of school violence led by a few people, this kind of atmosphere that arises naturally and invisibly is more difficult to solve.

After all, in the face of the former, it can be suppressed with stronger force.

And in the face of the latter, it is simply impossible to determine the target of a precise strike.

More people may think that -

"Don't try to fight the vibe, or the vibe will swallow you together."

Even if he stood up and loudly announced the existence of Megumi Kato at this time, he would probably be regarded as a bad head.

Tetsuya Ayakoji had to admit that if he suddenly behaved too close to Megumi Kato, it would cause disgust among other girls.

"Charm is a double-edged sword."

Moreover, Megumi Kato doesn't seem to be aware of the existence of the atmosphere herself.

Or maybe she doesn't really care?

On the way to the ranch, Tetsuya Ayakoji behaved very ordinary.

Ordinary walking, ordinary chatting with Sakata Kotai.

When we arrived at the ranch, it was already twelve o'clock.

"Everyone, gather now, don't mess up things, let's go to the neighborhood and finish cooking the curry before it's free time."

Mr. Odakiri, who was in charge of leading the team, shouted loudly with a loudspeaker.

The place where the curry is cooked is right next to the ranch.

For most people, it's a super boring experience.

"I walked for more than six hours just to cook a curry."

However, the theme of this trip was originally hiking.

Walking is the main purpose, tourism is just incidental, and Tetsuya Ayakoji's mentality is very stable.

"Hey, Ayakoji-san, do you still know how to cook?"

Tetsuya Ayakoji said: "Because I usually live alone, but you don't have to expect too much, the taste can only be said to be ordinary." ”

"It's a lot better than me." The squad leader sighed.

"Then please trouble the class leader, Kato-san, and Murakashita-san, you can help wash the dishes."

The squad leader nodded.

Let's do it first.

Watch Megumi Kato leave.

Tetsuya Ayakoji picked up the knife and his eyes fell on the potato in front of him.

When dealing with potatoes, he can cut them quickly.

But when dealing with the atmosphere, maybe a subtle change is a good way to do it.

Let Megumi Kato have a good relationship with the squad leader first.

Another example is to start by changing your image.

Tetsuya Ayakoji skillfully peeled off the potatoes, and the potatoes became graceful after the coat was removed.

"At least it will make people appetizing."

Knock Knock Knock –

Cutting the potatoes into small cubes, Tetsuya Ayakoji moved on to the next process.

He is just one of the many chefs, and Mitsuyasu Sakata, who looks like a simple man, is also a good player.

It's better to say that his size attracts more people when he dances a kitchen knife.

"Sakata-kun, be careful."

"Don't worry, my knife skills have been praised by the chef."

"Sakata-kun, can this really be eaten?"

"There must be a degree of blind doubt!"

If it was Mitsutai Sakata, the atmosphere would have been broken with a few punches in front of him.

In the end, Mitsuyasu Sakata easily conquered the girls around him with his superb cooking skills...... of the stomach.

"It turns out that everyone has their own strengths, maybe you just don't notice them."

"It's just a normal thing."

Mitsuyasu Sakata touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

Not far away, Kana Murakashita, the squad leader, and Megumi Kato were looking at the alpacas in the fence.

Tetsuya Ayakoji said, "It's because this level is too simple for Sakata-kun that you ignore its existence." ”

Yuki Haseki nodded solemnly: "That's right, the way the village looked at you just now was different from usual." ”

"Really?"

Mitsuyasu Sakata immediately came to his senses.

"Murashita must be thinking." Yuki Hasei shook his head, "Oops, I didn't expect this bucket full of basketball and games to cook." ”

"Koki ......"

Mitsuyasu Sakata, who was still very excited just now, approached Yuki Hasei with a dangerous face.

The daily slapstick is here again.

Maybe it was because the two of them were noisy, and the alpaca, who was looking at each other across the fence with Megumi Kato, suddenly became irritable.

"Be careful!"

Tetsuya Ayakoji quickly pulled Kato Megumi back from Muleng, and then dragged the squad leader again.

"Ayakoji-kun, what's wrong?" The squad leader asked suspiciously.

"See for yourselves......"

A few girls turned around and found that the alpaca with the "airplane head" was spitting out.

Looks like a grumpy delinquent teenager.

If you go slowly, you will probably be spit up.

Megumi Kato nodded seriously and said, "It looks really angry." ”

"It's all Sakata-kun and Hase-kun to blame." The squad leader looked at the two people who were still fighting.

At this time, Kana Murashita also walked over.

Murderous eyes reappear.

"Murakashita-san, class president, I'm ......"

Mitsutai Sakata is at a loss like a child who has made a mistake.

"It's all because Guangtai is too loud......"

"Yuki, you!"

Tetsuya Ayakoji walked to the edge of the fence and said, "Actually, the alpaca with short bangs is quite cute. ”

"Unkempt looks silly." Megumi Kato continued.

Because it was the first time I had seen an alpaca with my own eyes, Megumi Kato was somewhat interested.

"There's an alpaca over there with its hair completely combed to the left." Tetsuya Ayakoji stretched out her hand.

Megumi Kato looked at her fingers: "Hey, it's a bit like a performance artist." ”

"Would you like to take a commemorative photo with Kato-san?"

Tetsuya Ayakoji asked with a smile.

Megumi Kato nodded.

Tetsuya Ayakoji took out her phone, took a few steps back, and then crouched down.

"It's about to begin."

Megumi Kato said calmly: "Ayakoji-kun, do you usually shoot girls under their skirts so directly?" ”

“……”

You think I'm a perverted gentleman Xiong Ji.

Well?

The sharp-eared squad leader turned his head.

Tetsuya Ayakoji also explained helplessly: "I am shooting alpacas at a 45-degree angle, and from this distance, it is impossible to shoot under the skirt." ”

The squad leader's gaze softened.

"It's time to start!"

With Tetsuya Ayakoji shouting softly, Megumi Kato subconsciously bent her knees, leaned forward slightly to look at the camera, and put her hands near her knees.

"Click-"

The shutter sounded several times.

Tetsu Ayakoji also handed the phone to Megumi Kato.

"I think Kato-san would feel much better if he had changed his hairstyle."

He pointed to the photo.

"Is that so?" Megumi Kato looked at Tetsuya Ayakoji blankly.

"Just like alpacas, alpacas with different hairstyles can make a completely different impression. If Kato-san had changed to a short ponytail, he would have felt a little more energetic. ”

Although it makes sense, the alpaca's words always feel weird.

Megumi Kato stared at the photo on her phone and nodded: "Then I'll try it when I go back." ”

Like Tetsuya Ayakoji, Megumi Kato did not refuse.

"So ......"

Tetsuya Ayakoji was just about to speak, when an unfriendly greeting suddenly came from beside him.

"Tetsuya Ayakoji!"

As soon as Tetsuya Ayakoji turned around, he saw a streak of gold passing in front of his eyes.
