"It's a coincidence that you're still neighbors. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Although the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, Hiratsuka Shizune didn't pay attention to it and joked with a smile.

"yes, an unfortunate coincidence."

Told by this, Xue Nai regained his composure, turned his head away, opened the book on his lap and continued to read. But even if it was her, it was impossible to see it in this atmosphere, after all, it was just a pretense so that they could know their attitude.

Ling Yi didn't care, he didn't want to stay here in the first place.

But as soon as he turned around, he was held down by Hiratsuka Shizuka's shoulder.

"The purpose of our visit is not to quarrel, but to talk about the club activities of the Ministry of Service, as a minister, do you plan to bring in grievances outside of official duties?"

I have to say that this is very clever.

Although it is only a low-level radical method, it is also a conspiracy. Under the snow that is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, Xue Nai will jump down even if he knows that it is a pit.

If this matter had nothing to do with himself, Ling Yi would definitely give a thumbs up to Mr. Hiratsuka.

"Hoo ......"

Under the snow, Yukino's face became even more ugly than just now, especially his eyes, which were so cold that he didn't take people seriously.

Still-

"I see. Since that's all I have to say, I'll listen to the teacher's intentions. But I have to make it clear that I don't have to accept a commission as long as I ask for it, and I have the right to refuse. ”

The overtone of this sentence is, 'No matter what you say, I won't say yes, so if you are interested, save your saliva and leave early'.

But Hiratsuka didn't seem to hear it, and said to herself:

"Actually, it's not too much trouble. It's just that this guy next to me is not very interested in school, and as a student this is very problematic, so I plan to ask you to help me correct it. ”

"To be reasonable, I'm a ...... approved by the principal"

Ling Yi didn't want a billion yen to be wasted like this.

However, his rebuttal was ignored by the two men.

"I see, it's really problematic."

Under the snow, Xue Nai glanced at him lukewarmly.

"But that's what a teacher should do, right?"

"Ah, I've been under too much pressure at work lately, and I'm busy connecting ...... Ahem, I mean contacting the parents of students who have problems with their academic performance to discuss solutions and so on, and I really can't spare the energy to deal with the students who have the biggest problems. ”

Hiratsuka held her head and said with a distressed face.

"Really? But I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do about it, this man is beyond my capabilities, and I think it's better to give up on him. ”

Xue Nai did not hesitate to refuse, she didn't want to have anything to do with this man.

"Although this is not a good thing to say, I also think it is a good idea, instead of wasting energy on me, it is better to go to the beauty salon after work to do some care and something, and the forehead lines are all out."

Ling Yi also took over the conversation.

"You two don't have such a tacit understanding at this time, okay? Well, let's make a bet. ”

The corners of Hiratsuka's mouth twitched slightly, and she had to come up with the last resort.

"Not interested."

"Meaningless."

"The loser must unconditionally obey a request made by the winner."

“……”

“……”

Sights, collided for the first time.

The two stared at each other nonchalantly.

No one took their eyes off first, as if they were trying to win in momentum.

"You all seem to be interested."

Seeing this, the teacher finally showed a satisfied smile.

Things are finally moving in the desired direction.

"Let me explain the rules, then—"

"Wait, I haven't said yes yet."

Ling Yi interrupted suddenly.

"Ah, will you back down too? Although this is indeed the right judgment. ”

As if he had found a flaw in his opponent, Xue Nai drew a smug arc under the snow.

"No, I just don't think the stakes are perfect enough in that aspect."

Ling Yi said lightly.

"I don't care about the exact content of the bet, I've only lost once in my life, and that was the last time."

"So, what do you suggest?"

Hiratsuka asked with a sigh.

"The bet that the teacher said before does not limit the content of the conditions, in other words, no matter what excessive conditions are fine."

"Ah...... This is indeed my negligence. ”

"So, you want to reduce the risk to make sure you don't lose too much if you lose, right?"

Under the snow, Xue Nai habitually sarcastic.

However, she didn't expect Ling Yi to show a smile similar to her when she heard this.

"No, you're wrong. What I want to say is that since any excessive conditions are fine, it is better to directly set the most excessive conditions. ”

"What......?"

"Hey, you two, don't make a big deal out of it, although the intentions are good, but if it hurts either of you, it will be worth the loss."

Hiratsuka was scared out of a cold sweat.

"Don't worry about the teacher, I'm in control."

Ling Yi smiled brightly, but he couldn't make people feel warm.

"In that case, tell me about your opinion."

Under the snow, Xue Nai is very calm.

"It's simple. If I win, you can't say no no matter what I say, and if I lose, so will I. ”

As soon as Ling Yi said this, the air in the department suddenly became tense.

Even if he had already been enlightened for a long time, Xue Xia couldn't help but widen his eyes.

If a bet is likened to a game, then once it is established, both sides are betting all their chips on this game.

"You two, ......"

Hiratsuka Shizune regretted being nosy.

Fortunately, however, there is a turnaround.

"Mr. Hiratsuka, it's your turn to announce the contents of the bet."

Under the snow, Xue Nai reminded coldly.

Although the risk was pulled to the top all at once, she would not back down.

Maybe that man was planning to make it difficult for him to retreat.

"Okay."

Hiratsuka frowned.

At this point, there is no turning back.

She didn't want anyone to be a loser, so she had to change her plan and devise a rule with a 99 percent chance of a tie.

To be honest, if it were someone else, she would never have thought of this method in the first place.

But it is precisely because they are-for-tat with each other, and these two people are calm and rational.

She was able to come up with this unsolvable rule in the first place.

Even Hiratsuka herself couldn't help but be moved by her wit, and her tense expression slackened, and she once again put on a smile that was easy to wear.

"Before the end of this semester, whoever likes the other party first will lose, and if you can't do it until the end of this semester, then you will be declared a tie and the bet will be voided. As for the standard of satisfaction that is determined by you, I believe that with the character of the two of you, you will not be able to lie with your conscience. ”
