Chapter 36 is a combination of two chapters

(ps: As the title suggests, the two chapters are one, in fact, I can't think of the chapter name)

In the morning, there were no elementary school students in the cafeteria of the guest hall, and it is estimated that they are still in bed at this time. When the two of them arrived, they only saw the usual faces and Hiratsuka-sensei.

"Good morning, teacher"

"Well, it's early. Why don't you all come here for breakfast?"

Mr. Hiratsuka replied while flipping through the newspaper. Biqi Guxin said this is not nonsense, why do you come to the cafeteria in the morning and skip breakfast, but after estimating the weight of your little arms and calves and the fist power of the big demon king opposite...... Be silent!

Hikiya sat down with Totsuka on the empty seat, opposite Yukihama and under the snow.

"Give, your portion"

After a while, Yuuji and Elusie returned with Mitsuki Komachi and a few people each with two or three plates, apparently they had gone with breakfast before.

Although it is a rare time to spend a night together, the breakfast provided here is actually very family-like. White rice miso, grilled fish salad, omelet, natto, seaweed, pickles, and oranges for dessert.

It is in line with the impression of the breakfast provided by a general inn.

"Thank you, thank you...... I started it."

"I started"

......

After receiving everyone's gratitude, Yuji and the others also sat down next to them and began to eat breakfast.

Although breakfast is very ordinary and everyday, the rice here is delicious. With natto and seaweed alone, you can calculate that you need to consume two bowls of rice. If you want a ryokan, it usually comes with raw eggs, which is even more amazing.

Volunteers also had to help set up the night test and campfire ball, but since these activities were in the evening, they were not in a hurry. After eating, all the staff sipped tea. Even Totsuka said "I'm full" at an unhurried pace while holding out his hand to the tea.

While everyone was casually chatting about yesterday's events and today's arrangement, Mr. Hiratsuka folded the newspaper.

"Oh, it looks like it's all over. How was your deliberation yesterday? Did you get a result of your deliberations yesterday?"

......

Then, all the guys who had been actively working on various proposals until a moment fell silent. No one replied, and even the noisy Tobe cowered and lowered his head at this time.

In general, this reaction will tell the answer.

Although Yuji had an idea in his heart, he didn't make it to the end of yesterday's discussion, so naturally he wouldn't know the outcome of the discussion, and he also wanted to hear what other people thought first. So he picked up the convenient cup in his hand and continued to sip tea silently. And the same thing he did was Katsura Katsura Katsuma, and he probably wasn't ready to meddle in this matter.

In the end, it was Hayama who took the initiative to stand up and break the silence. He hesitated.

"Maybe、I'll have to let Rumi-chan talk to everyone by herself.。 Set up such an opportunity. ”

"But,If you do that,Probably Rumi-chan will be blamed by everyone......"

Although Yubihama said this with a low eye, Hayama still did not give up.

"Well, let's talk about them one by one. “

"The same. Even if you are kind at the time, you will come back in the back of the geography. Girls are much more terrifying than Hayama-kun thought."

It seems that the old classmates who are interested in corruption also talk with some fear. Even Hayama has nothing to say.

"Woo ......"

"What? really!

Probably had never experienced anything like this before, Elucie exclaimed, looking horrified. However, I don't know why Miura was scared. Hawkers, this guy belongs to the outspoken type. Because I've always been the queen, I may have something to do with politics unexpectedly.

However, it is really troublesome enough to be in this group of people. Bi Qigu on the side thought that having friends is not only a good thing, because becoming friends also means that both negative things have to be shared, and sometimes they have to sacrifice the so-called sacrifice in order to maintain the relationship. And Liumei is probably one of the 'victims'.

Questions. And if the relationship itself is a breeding ground for problems?

In this case, in order to solve the problem, it is necessary to make a fuss about the relationship itself.

"That...... I have an idea."

"Rejected"

Bikiya plucked up the courage to speak, and then, he was immediately dismissed by the snow.

"It's too early to decide...... Anyway, you can listen to what you're talking about!"

"I'm sorry, because it's your relationship, so I subconsciously vetoed it. I'll pay attention next time. ”

And next time, I see that you have no sincerity to apologize at all, hey! Forget it, I'm more than Lord Qigu Sama, so I won't worry about you little girl.

"So, what do you think?"

It just so happened that at this time, Hiratsuka-sensei also spoke.

"Mr. Hiratsuka, may I first ask what today's arrangement is?"

"Oh, elementary school students should be free during the day today. In the evening, there was a test of courage and a bonfire. So I'll ask you to do the preparation for these things in the future. ”

"Hah, is there a campfire?" Hikiya frowned at the appearance of some nasty words, "Well, it doesn't matter. Since it's rare to have a test of courage as a material, I think we should make use of it as much as possible. ”

"How?"

Totsuka asked, tilting his head. So Hikiya gave Tozuka as much detail as possible.

"The one that is common at the Courage Test, you know?"

"Ahh

"She's probably talking about the placebo effect......

A smile appeared at the corner of Yuuji's mouth, but his eyes looked at Yubihama as if he was looking at something pitiful.

(The placebo effect is to make patients mistakenly believe that the drug they are taking is effective, and the condition is improved through psychological effects.) ）

“...... But before that, I want to talk about the drawbridge effect."

Under the snow, he lowered his eyes and showed a sad expression. Before I knew it, it became a pitiful Yubihama-like atmosphere.

"Okay, okay! The focus is on the content, the content!" Yuhihama danced with a red face.

"Heh~ Actually, you're all wrong, the correct answer is to try your courage in order to take supernatural photos, and on the way to try your guts, you encounter the experience of being chased everywhere. Biqigu stared at the dead fish and announced the final answer.

“...... Eh, is there such a thing?"

"There's no such thing, is it?"

Yuuji, who has no experience of trying his courage at the conference, believes that it is true. As a result, it was denied by the snow in a daze

"It's annoying, it's just there" That's right, that's the event triggered by a remnant girl in the class who said something "I,It seems to have a psychic sense". At the beginning, Bi Qigu was still thinking about whether he also had psychic sense, and if he did, he would be cool or something, so he ran to take supernatural photos. As a result, there are not only ghosts there, but just a bunch of bad ones. And it seemed that they were on the way to test their courage, but because of the bad timing of their appearance, they were scared, so that he was chased around with a grudge...... Well, it's okay to do anything like this. "A lot of it is because I trust the people around me half-heartedly, and I never think that they will betray me. That's why they are pushed out as victims when they are threatened badly...... Therefore, talent is the most terrifying!"

"Hachiman ......"

Yuji probably already understood what Hikiya was thinking, so he exhaled softly with worry, and Hikiya continued to explain as if he hadn't heard it.

"Man, in the state of the limit, will reveal his true nature. If you're really scared, you'll protect yourself anyway. I can't care about others anymore, even if I have to sacrifice those around me, I have to save myself. If such an ugly part is exposed, the relationship should never be better. That's all you need to do is get those guys scattered. ”

"As long as everyone is alone, there will be no disputes and frictions."

When he lightly told the content of the plan, Hikigu's face was gloomy, as if he recalled a bad experience. And in the face of this proposal, everyone was silent with a bitter face.

Yuhihama looked at Hikiya with a shocked look. The snow also narrowed his eyes to the limit, staring at him half-open.

"Compared to Gu Jun, the personality is really bad......"

Even the good old man Hayama said so, only Totsuka nodded as if he felt something.

"Hachiman always thinks about all sorts of things."

"I can't think of any other way, though...... Now there is no other way. ”

Although he was temporarily distressed under the snow, he still made a decision after eliminating the law. There can be no superfluous options in this situation. It's just that Hayama still has an unacceptable expression on his face.

“...... Doesn't that solve the problem?"

"However, it is possible to resolve the problem. ”

Facing the direct gaze cast by Hayama, Biqigu looked at each other without showing weakness.

In the end, it was Hayama who lowered his expression uneasily, "Indeed, there is no better way than this now, but ...... That's it."

"Looks like ...... You've made your decision, are you sure?", Mr. Hiratsuka asked again, and the crowd remained silent. Hayama's role this time should be quite annoying, and even then he said he wanted to do it, so why were the others embarrassed to object.

After getting the answer from everyone, Hiratsuka Jing then looked at Yuji, who was drinking tea quietly without his own business

"So Xiaoyu, what do you think?"

"Puff~~cough~~"

Yuuji, who was suddenly mentioned by name, squirted out a sip of tea and coughed violently. After hurriedly packing everything up, he slowly spoke

"My words, I should be against it!"

Bi Qigu's eyes widened in vain, and there was a confused look under the snow. Miura, on the other hand, stood up as if she couldn't bear it anymore.

"There is a lot of wine, I said Banjing-san, you didn't attend the previous meeting and it passed, and now everyone finally came to a result and you came to oppose it, what do you mean!!"

This time, Hayama didn't stop Miura's actions again, probably with the same thought in his heart. In the face of everyone's accusatory or puzzled eyes, Yuji still said with a gentle expression.

"My words, only do what I think is the right choice!"

Faced with Yuuji's answer, which was not an answer at all, Yubihama's eyes lit up, as if he realized something.

"Yuuji, is there a better way?"

"Well, it's not counting, it's just an idea, and I haven't tried it yet. Yuji scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"What, I think it's better to use the method than to take Gu Jun, unlike someone who thinks of a way to return to the mysterious and secret pretend. Miura said a little unconvinced.

There is no way to defend this, and Yuji can only smile bitterly.

"But no, I can't just watch you do something wrong. Before Miura had time to refute, Yuji continued, "One of Rumi's troubles comes from herself, and the other comes from her surroundings. Hachiman's method is really good, it can destroy the strange environment around Rumi, so that she is not so troubled......"

"In that case......

"In that case, why should I object, right?" After asking back, Yuji once again showed a wry smile, "Actually, I don't think this method is wrong, it's just that the cost is too great, and we may not be able to afford it!"

"If you're worried about damaging our reputation, that's okay, and we're all prepared to help stay in the United States. Hayama said.

Willing to pay such a price for an unknown elementary school student, from this point of view, Hayama is indeed a good person, but it is precisely because he is a good person that sometimes he looks at problems so blindly. Yuji shook his head.

"It's not a matter of reputation, to be honest, reputation is only a famous person like you who cares about it, I don't care much about it. It's just that you have not thought about a problem, if the environment around Liumei is really destroyed, and everyone becomes alone—indeed, then the problem of Liumei is solved—then who should be responsible for the psychological trauma of those children who have been created by the hands of our people? Who will save their future?"

It's a blind spot, and everyone only sees Rumi pitiful, but forgets the consequences of ruining the relationship with the other children. If because of yourself, a group or a class of people will no longer trust others...... As soon as he thought of this, Hikiya began to break out in a cold sweat.

Really, it almost caused a catastrophe!

"However, Xiaoyou, you have a way. ”

Hiratsuka was so quiet that she opened her mouth quite calmly, even if Yuji didn't say this question, she was going to point it out. Although the method of sacrificing a few people for the sake of the majority is despicable, on the other hand, if you sacrifice the majority for the sake of the few, you will definitely be spurned by more people.

"Well, but I'll try this method alone, and you can go about your own business. ”

"Well, I'll leave it to you" Hiratsuka Jing handed over the matter to Yuji with confidence, then turned around and clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Next, the boys will go to help prepare the bonfire, and the girls will go with me to see the costumes for the test of courage." ”

......

When the girls' team walked past Yuuji, they whispered under the snow.

"Anything, do you need help?"

"No, that's actually quite simple, I'm enough for myself. Yuji shook his head and said, adding, "Thank you!"

"Yes"

I don't know if it's an illusion.,Yuji felt that his expression when he left under the snow seemed a little lonely and a little gloomy.。 Is there something unhappy about it?" he thought, and walked with the boys toward the playground.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind him

"Why don't you let them share the burden, it's always such a person, it's going to be very tiring!"

"Katsura Ma" Yuji turned to look at the visitor, and then explained with a bitter expression, "I'm not the kind of fool who knows that I can't do anything but do it, and when I need help, I will take the initiative to ask for help." ...... But this time it's really simple, and I can do it alone. ”

"That's right," Guima shrugged his shoulders in disbelief and said, "It's nice to be able to solve anything on your own, but friends shouldn't exist as an emotional burden...... Well, although this is a bit unconvincing to me. ”

"No, it's ...... It's very convincing!" Yu Er Nan said.

Really, couldn't be more correct!!

It's been a long time since Katsuragi Guima left, and Yuji was still in a daze. Thinking about her, the ministry department, and Tsurumi Rumi.
