47 The ghost on the fourth floor
[Monday, April 8]
"Wow, it's so beautiful, is this the flower from Sister Miki?"
In the living room, Sakura leaned her face to the vase, her little nose stirred and she took a deep breath.
"yes, I got it back yesterday, and you'll be asleep by then." Kyosuke Hojo in the kitchen replied.
It was only eight o'clock when he got home yesterday, but Sakura had already fallen asleep, and on the way home, he thought about how to convince this guy to eat less supper, but he didn't have this trouble at all.
"During the day, I played a game with Yingli Li for a day, and went shopping with Glass, and the whole person was tired."
Sakura walked over to the kitchen counter and sat down, yawning heavily with her arms on her back, as if nearly twelve hours of sleep were not enough for her.
After yawning, she turned her head sideways, and her bright yellow eyes looked fixedly at Kyosuke Hojo, who was holding a spatula inside.
He wears a black T-shirt on the top half of his body, gray shorts on the bottom half, and a red apron. Everyone in the house has their own apron, which hangs right next to the refrigerator.
She knew that as soon as he had prepared breakfast for himself, he would go upstairs to take a shower and change into clothes that had not been contaminated by the fumes. Although he can choose a meal that does not produce fumes, he says that "although fumes are annoying at times, they are a necessity of 'home'".
I don't know where the crooked truth came from.
The sound of the range hood in my ears, the smell of meat in my nose, and the man in my eyes like a family cook.
The golden light of the rising sun shone in from the direction of the courtyard, like a luxurious feather coat, and gently draped over the girl's body.
Sakura narrowed his eyes and muttered in a voice that could grapple with death:
"I feel so happy~~"
"Stupid, if you always say that, God will know about it, and I won't give you 'happiness' in the future."
Kyosuke Hojo said without replying, and then handed over a small dish, which was the oil residue left over from the fried sauce, he added salt and mixed it with radish leaves, which was an appetizer.
"However, I feel that my chest is full, and if I don't say it, I will explode with joy."
Holding a small plate with a cyan pattern in both hands, and looking at the verdant leaves inside with joyful eyes, Sakura continued.
"In that case......"
Kyosuke Hojo undid his apron, walked out of the kitchen, and opened his arms towards Sakura.
The girl hurriedly put down the plate and threw herself over with a small cheer.
"Now you have a smell on you."
"Hmm~~ This is the taste of home." Sakura closed her eyes and hugged her sturdy waist tightly, feeling the warmth of the morning.
Kyosuke Hojo didn't speak, and just hugged her, enjoying this quiet time that only belonged to the two of them.
After a long time, the two separated.
The girl returned to the bar, took her chopsticks, folded her hands and shouted, "I'm moving," and then stuffed the salad into her mouth and chewed it slowly like a chinchilla.
"It's delicious." It was clear that there was a little bit of freshness and saltiness of vegetables, but Sakura still raised his left hand to hold his little face and let out a happy exclamation.
Returning to the kitchen, Kyosuke Hojo smiled slightly, skillfully put the somen noodles he bought from a Chinese supermarket into the pot, made a bowl of fried noodles and handed it to Sakura.
One is to serve a delicious breakfast to the people you like at the beginning of the week, and the other is to wake up automatically because you sleep too much, so it's still early. I have not yet gotten up to study for a while in the morning.
"Ah, oh no, if you eat so much early in the morning, you're bound to get fat." After shouting like this, Sakura ate the noodles again.
"Kyosuke really doesn't understand girls, food with such a big taste, and I'll have to spend ten more minutes brushing my teeth later."
"But Kasumigaoka-sani should like it very much, she hasn't eaten Kyosuke's fried noodles yet."
"It's strange, why hasn't Yukino-sensei gotten up yet, didn't she have a class this morning?"
ββ¦β¦β
The girl seemed to have endless words, calling the names of her family members one by one, and even Momotaro was caught by her and muttered for a long time.
"Big sister, I know, I will never try to climb the stairs again today, I fell hard yesterday. But I'm so bored at home alone, Xiao Yuanyuan can't speak at all, only running around. β
Listening to the teachings of the No. 1 hostess, Momotaro replied in a muttered voice, other puppies are already at a doggy age, and it can still only make a humming sound. Xiao Yuanyuan is the name it gave to the sweeping robot.,It's great.,It's the same talent for naming as the man.γ
Kyosuke Hojo also brought his noodles over and sat next to Sakurara, listening to her broken thoughts while eating.
Glass and Naoka got up one after another, and as for Yukino, as Sakura had thought before, she didn't have a class this morning, so she decided to get a good night's sleep before.
Knock Knock Knock β
There was a loud knock on the door, and the people below didn't even raise their heads, they were used to it.
It was Eriri who was telling Kasumigaoka to get up, and since she had seen Kyosuke Hojo pulled into the quilt by that demon girl and almost fell asleep, she had made up her mind to supervise Kasumigaoka to get up by herself.
As Sakura expected, although he liked the taste of fried noodles very much, someone still shouted:
"Can't you think of a way to make jajangmyeon so that it doesn't smell in your mouth? How can there be a lady who speaks with a mouth and smells of fried noodles. Chore, don't be lazy, tomorrow morning I'm going to eat Jajangmyeon that you can enjoy without rinsing. β
"Good, good~" Kyosuke Hojo replied casually, it was a piece of cake rather than finding a lily with the same size of each petal and writing the name on the most conspicuous scales on the back of the koi. You can't do such a small thing, how can you become a special chef?
Coming to the school, in the new week, the recruitment of new clubs has become more and more intense.
In the multimedia building facing the school gate, on the two legs of the staircase in the shape of a "person", there is a cappella on the left, a choir on the right, and a wind club in the middle.
A cappella group, which used to look the most dysfunctional, is now doing its best. Neither the accompaniment of the choir nor the music of the wind club could disturb them. Probably because they have long been accustomed to listening to the voice in their own heads.
In the midst of the passionate music, they calmly sang "Dear Traveler".
Thanks to the large standing next to the wind club that says what they played, Kyosuke Hojo knew that it was "Burn the Floor", but the choir didn't, probably because they thought that the song they sang was known to everyone in neon, so they didn't explain it.
Although the singing voice of the a cappella group was not large, in the midst of the noise, the calm showed extraordinary power, at least Sakura and Glass were attracted to stop.
"I thought they were strange yesterday, but now it seems really good." Sakura exclaimed.
Someone nodded in agreement, as long as there is no accompaniment, Sakura is invincible, and no one can say that she sings out of tune. The entire choir will be led astray by her.
The three of them listened with relish, and then walked over from the side.
Behind the multimedia building is a huge atrium, which is clearly the main battlefield. Not surprisingly, the reason why the three clubs at the door crowded together and demolished each other with the attitude of greeting each other with the back of their heads and a cold hum when they met in the future was because they were united and expelled by the clubs here.
But because I had breakfast at home and walked slowly to school, it was not early now, and most of the clubs began to pack up their things, and the next publicity would be after school in the afternoon. Well, just over six hours later.
"Even the home department has it, why don't you sleep during class time?" On the way to the school building, Sakura said casually.
"Maybe there is, but in order not to be exterminated by the school, they hide in the form of a secret society. Adhering to the tenet of 'automatically joining the club as long as you sleep in class', as long as the people who sleep in class do not disappear for a day, their legends will continue to circulate in the school. β
When it comes to satisfying Sakurara's fantasies, Kyosuke Hojo never skimps.
"Where's Nitrate-chan, didn't Yubihama-san ask you out last week?"
"Hmm~" Glass's cheeks bulged, and he said hesitantly:
"I feel like it's more fun to have fun with Sakura than to meet new people."
"This can't do it, oh glass, high school students are going to ......" Sakura pulled the glass and began to pass on the experience.
Sakura is an absolute authority in terms of making friends, as early as elementary school, she was a beloved character in the class, and Kunaka was able to relate to Yingli Li. You must know that although the latter is an abandoned house at home where she is too lazy to move her feet when sweeping the floor, and she will be reluctant to move if someone kicks her, she is 100% of the people in the school.
Kyosuke Hojo walked aside, smiling and watching. Although he thinks that one or two of his friends in school are enough, more can only be regarded as classmates with good relationships. However, he agrees with Sakura's statement that Sakura asked Glass to make more friends.
Although they have been able to work part-time as clerks, they can get along well with the seniors of the office, and they will share some interesting stories when they come back from dinner, and they are like big sisters when they get along with Yingli Lili. But this little girl is still too easy to be shy, and it is far from possible to be a voice actor like this. When you look at those lines, you will be shy and speechless.
As soon as I sat down, Ms. Hiratsuka walked in and started today's class meeting. I mainly talked about the quiz that will be held every morning next week, and there is also a matter of joining a club.
ββ¦β¦ Clubs are an indispensable part of high school life, and I hope that everyone will actively participate. It's okay to play clubs and the like, after all, as long as you stay with friends who share the same interests, you can always find something interesting. Of course, students with sports talents should also actively participate in clubs, which will be of great help to you in your future job search and further education......
The woman on the stage looked like a speaker invited by the club, and even began to share her own club experience in high school and college. Not surprisingly, it's all a martial arts club, and the interesting story is how she used this technology to fight crime on the tram.
The students in the audience were still enthusiastic at the beginning, but then they were stunned, and watched in amazement as the teacher on the stage began to demonstrate simple women's self-defense.
The boys were cold, and the female classmates became interested and began to inquire if there was such a club in Zongwu Gao. Needless to say, the most positive of these is Sakura.
"We don't have it in our school, but it's ......"
Hiratsuka hesitates, considering whether to pass on his kung fu to the lovely students. But soon she came to her senses, absolutely not!
I used to be happy after fighting those nasty elements, but when I returned to the office, my colleagues looked at me with the eyes of Ultraman's human body, and said something like "Hey, it's amazing, Mr. Hiratsuka, the person who will be your husband in the future is full of security."
She is a modern literature teacher, how could she not understand the meaning of these words, it is clear that she can't find a husband and can't get married. These bastards, when the school holds a dinner party in the future, you must teach your wives a few tricks, and let you kneel on the ground and beg for mercy when you go home.
Now, if he really created a martial arts club, he would definitely be an instructor, so the fact that "Hiratsuka Jing is a super violent woman" will not only spread among colleagues, but will spread throughout the university world at the speed of light through these students.
Nightmare!
"Ahem, in fact, if you really encounter a similar situation, it is better to shout for help immediately, or run away quickly. Alright, it's almost time, let's get ready to start class. β
After saying that, she packed up her things and hurried away.
The first class in the morning was a math class, and although the teacher said that the first class was the time when the brain was the most sober and easy to use, it was the most suitable time to learn mathematics, but Hojo Kyosuke clearly saw that Sakura's head was about to hit the table.
The day passed quickly, and then it was time for club activities.
Kyosuke Hojo sent Samisaki and Goro Hata to go to the kendo club first to take the members to prepare for the event.,Baseball club.,In the end, he didn't agree to be the minister.,It's going to fish.,It's okay to play during the game.,But the minister doesn't forget it.,Mistaken people's children.,If you're not careful, it's a big sin to abolish the ministry in three years.γ
He himself walked out of the classroom with Sakura Glass and accompanied them to continue to choose clubs.
"Now, are they a couple?"
Looking at the backs of the three of them, a girl asked in a low voice to her companion next to her.
"Probably not, right? How can a couple take another girl with them all day? β
"But isn't there a rumor that Yamauchi-san and Nishinomiya-san both transferred in with Hojo-kun?"
The girls are exchanging information, and the mere gossip seems to make them very happy.
A good team should have doers, coordinators, perfectionists, supervisors, etc. And a "qualified" small group of girls, there must be a queen, which is the center of the group, and then there must be a rebel, of course, this character usually plays the second role of the small group, that is, the queen's loyal doglegs, responsible for cheering, giving exaggerated praises, etc. Then there are the waiters at the bottom, who join in order to feel the warmth of the queen and not be isolated. and the intelligence officer, who is responsible for picking out interesting things to do when the queen is bored.
Although it has only been a week since the new semester started, the female high school students who have mastered this skill have already formed such a group around Yuiko Miura.
Originally, there was a more suitable candidate for the queen, and that was Sakura Yamauchi. has such a good relationship with the boy at the top of the school.,There's the same cute Nishinomiya Glass by his side.,And his own personality is also cheerful.,And talk well.γ Such a person could not be more suitable.
But the man didn't seem to have any intention of having such a relationship with them, but it wasn't arrogant or anything. Whenever someone talks to her, she responds happily.
Yamauchi-san's body seems to have a power that can infect people's hearts, and can make people happy unconsciously.
"That's not the case, Yamauchi-san and Hojo-kun are childhood sweethearts, and Nishinomiya-san is their elementary school classmate, and they made an appointment a long time ago to go to high school together."
Listening to the discussion of the classmates getting more and more outrageous, Yui Yui Hihama couldn't help but interject.
"Oh? You know a lot about Yui. Miura Yukiko said with interest, she doesn't usually discuss friends gossip, but those three people are obviously not her friends.
"Yes, yes, Yui seems to have a good relationship with Nishinomiya-san."
"It's not that good, it's just a few more words because of the seat." Reading the air master Yui Hihama immediately denied.
"Speaking of which, have you heard? The club that Hojo-kun founded. β
"It seems to be called the Happy Life Department?"
"No, it's the Department of Creating a Happy Life, and the instructor is that super beautiful Yukino teacher."
"That's great, I want to join too."
"Oh, do you want to join Hojo-kun's harem group?"
"Hey!! You're the one, you peeked at him a few times when you were in class. β
Hayato next to him listened to the girls' discussion, his eyes flashing slightly. He was the ace of the football club when he was in junior high school, and joined the football club as early as the first day of school. I heard a senior in the club who joined the student council at the same time say that Yukino also created her own club.
The unreliability of the name is not inferior to Kyosuke's club in Hojo at all.
"Ministry of Ministry"
I don't know what will happen next, Sister Yang Nai knows what she will do about it.
Although his friendship with Yukino has broken down in elementary school, whether as a retainer or a former friend, he sincerely hopes that Yukino can live a normal life in high school and stop being alone.
Of course, Xue Nai is a title, he only dares to use it in his heart. If they really met, he felt that he was not even qualified to call her "classmate under the snow".
atrium
Maybe it's because there's a special building with a club room behind it, so the people who come here to promote it have a lot of props.
Sakura and Glass walked in front holding hands, and Kyosuke Hojo silently followed. This lively scene made him think that he had come to the cultural festival, and subconsciously began to look for a food stall, octopus balls are frequent visitors to the cultural festival, and the project of their class in the middle school is this.
The huge cherry blossom tree was occupied by the people of the Faculty of Letters, and under the fluttering pink petals, a girl was reading an unknown article affectionately, using the tone of the Chinese descendants reciting the Tale of Genji on the Internet, and it was indeed beautiful to savor it.
Kyosuke Hojo noticed that the petals were not from the cherry blossom tree behind him, but from two boys carrying large pockets, and he didn't know where they had collected them. I really care for the plants on campus, and I hope they can smile when they clean up in the future.
After seeing someone, the girl who was reciting had a happy face, and her tone suddenly rose:
"The creator of Ishigami, the master of the sword, Kyosuke Hojo of Class F in the first year, please join the Faculty of Literature and compose the story of youth with us~~" The aria ends,
Behind the reciter, a group of girls immediately began to shout. Sakura responded by waving his hand, and Glass grabbed Kyosuke Hojo's arm tightly and walked forward.
Is your literature department all about the Demon King of Another World? If so, I recommend the sword hero general in the class to give you guidance.
In addition to exhibiting some past works, the people of the art club also painted portraits for interested students for free, and Sakura took the two of them to paint one with great interest.
Although there are two painting masters in the family, can this be the same?
The stool is Kyosuke Hojo sitting, Sakura and Glass standing on the left and right. If you change to a kimono, this is a proper wedding photo. But now the school uniform of this suit style is also good, and it looks more fashionable.
Perhaps in order to prove his strength to Kyosuke Hojo, the head of the art club took the initiative to fight. Of course, in the end, it was Hojo Kyosuke who asked the Kendo Department to recruit someone to help the three of them take a few photos to take a few photos, and what could they draw in a few minutes of sketching, and they didn't have "artistic talent" or "painting talent" or anything.
"Kyosuke, you go to the club, and then I'll go to the special building with Glass."
After walking around the atrium, Sakura said.
"There's nothing going on in the club today, so I'm not going, let them train daily."
Ignoring the longing gazes of the two members next to him, Kyosuke Hojo said directly. If someone scolds him for being forgetful.,In order to hang out with a beautiful girl, he left aside the members of the new love and expectation.γ That's definitely a big slander, and you have to know that even if there is no club activity, his daily life is the same.
It's better to say that club activities are the destroyers who insert into his good life.,If you want him to guide, you should first inform the secretary to make an appointment.,Wait for Sakura and they to have other things before they can get approval.γ
"Hey, this can't be done, I can't see what the real club is like with Kyosuke." Sakura muttered, this is true, as long as you see Hojo Kyosuke coming to the recruitment point, the people of those clubs will be like seeing the walking Fukuzawa Yukichi, using one hundred and eight martial arts, like a peacock that attracts a partner.
"Yes, Kyosuke-kun, you asked me to participate in more clubs before, but now I don't go myself."
Glass pouted, her voice still soft, this was already her greatest persuasion.
Looking at that cute appearance, Kyosuke Hojo wanted to recruit the glass into the kendo club for a moment, so he was responsible for wiping his sweat. However, those people's shouting may make a noise, so let them practice "silent victory" when the time comes, which is a trick of a well-known kendo master in history.
"I know, I know, I'm looking for an interesting club." Kyosuke Hojo said to Sakurara that she must know what she was referring to.
For the difficulty of learning voice actors, he is too shy. As I said before, a fool thrown into a sports club can become a hot-blooded fool, and a suitable club can definitely make further changes in the glass.
This requires contact with strangers, which his Department of Creating a Happy Life will never be able to do.
"Mmmm, don't worry~" Sakura nodded heavily.
"Then I'll see you later." Glass shook her hand softly, and the black school uniform of the general martial arts high school uniform on her body made her softness a little, but as soon as she spoke, she immediately changed back to her soft appearance.
After parting, Sakura pulled the glass and walked into the special building. Not all clubs will go outside to recruit new people, and some clubs are not suitable for going out to recruit new people, such as the Song Card Club, which is a card-grabbing game to play according to "One Song of Ogura Hundred People". Some are useless to recruit new people, and they will naturally come if they want to, such as game clubs.
There are also those who don't want new people to join at all, such as the one in front of me, on the fourth floor of the special building, facing the cherry blossom classroom in the atrium.
"Ministry?" Sakura, who had visited all the way here, was surprised to read out the note posted at the door of the classroom.
βSakuraβ¦β¦ Let's go down quickly, there is no club on the fourth floor. Glass said in a trembling voice as she tightly exposed Sakura's arm.
The last club on the third floor is the Paranormal Investigation Club, and the entire club is full of huge bookshelves, so crowded that no one has a place to sit. The bookshelves are full of documents, recording the supernatural events of the total martial arts that they have investigated from the first generation to the present.
The last of these surveys is this year's "Special Building 4th Floor XXX"
XXX is not a mysterious codename, but three crosses drawn with a red pen. According to them, since five years ago, the fourth floor has been cursed by a club called the "Horror Story Club", as long as anyone who is assigned there will suffer misfortune, the withdrawal of the ministry is the least severe, the second is the abolition of the department, and the most terrifying is ......
The final result was rather sloppily blacked out, and it looked like it had been done with the last of his life's strength.
"It's okay, I guess the predecessor of their club was the Horror Story Club, and that legend was just made up, you look at their bookshelves, how many years of school history is the total number of years in total, so many archives, the total martial arts high is going to become a funeral home."
Sakura said nonchalantly, patting Glass's arm, and the girl decided to take this as a test of courage.
Moving to the door, Sakura stood on tiptoe and looked in through the small glass window on the door.
"Hey, someone, someone, really someone."
The girl was as excited as if she had seen the Nautilus in the classroom, and whispered to the glass. The latter's eyes widened at once, and he was even more frightened. His feet couldn't help but move back, and his calves were trembling slightly.
"Ahhh~~Let's go Sakura~~" Glass begged.
"It's a real person, a very beautiful girl, not a ghost or a ghost, and we have been blessed by the gods and witches, so don't be afraid at all!" Sakura took out the omamori in his pocket.,It was brought over to them when Sanye came home before school started.γ
The little hand clenched his white cloth bag tightly, and the glass also leaned into the small glass window on the door to look at it.
She saw that in the empty classroom, there were unused desks and chairs piled up in the back row, and a set of desks and chairs were placed by the window, and a girl with long black hair was sitting quietly reading a book.
"But, Sakura, we've been talking here for so long, why hasn't she reacted at all" Glass was even more scared.
"Hmm...... Well, maybe she was too focused on reading? Sakura thought for a moment, then stepped forward again, like going to an aquarium to see the fish.
Bang Bang β
The door that was not locked was accidentally pushed open.
Before they had time to apologize, the two were fascinated by the picture in front of them.
The spring wind carries the humidity of Tokyo Bay, and the much-loved cherry blossom tree in the atrium has been swept away by a few petals.
The girl in the same uniform as them sat there, her long black hair tied with two bows with a red ribbon, and she raised one hand to press the strands of hair that blocked her view. But neither the flying curtains nor the long black hair dancing with the cherry blossoms could make the girl's mind float.
The scene in front of me is as beautiful as a painting, giving the impression that even if the end of the world comes, the girl will stay there and continue reading.
Sakura and Glass finally knew why the two had been talking at the door for a long time, and the girl in the room was still motionless and still reading. Even the end of the world couldn't stop her from continuing to read and study, and the whispers at the door were nothing.
So Yamauchi Sakura came to the conclusion that a girl who exudes an immovable mountain-like aura and will not be disturbed by her will never do something bad because of her inner impulse!
As if finally sensing someone coming in, the black-haired girl put the bookmark on the table into the book and slowly raised her head.
"Two students, before entering a classroom with a closed door, it should be basic etiquette to knock on the door."
The voice was cold and clear, like a soft whisper in the ear, but it was very clear. It's like listening to the silent snow piling up.
Sensing the displeasure in the girl's eyes, Sakura swallowed the witty words of "we haven't come in yet" and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." β
The glass next to him also hurriedly bowed.
"Is that so......"
Under the snow, he closed the book and placed it on the table, and looked at the two of them with his eyes, as if trying to tell if it was a lie or not.
Being looked at by those pale cyan eyes, Nishinomiya Glass was unconsciously a little scared, as if all the thoughts in his heart would be read.
Sakura turned out the information of the girl in front of her from memory, she also has a lot of friends in the class, and a girl with such an outstanding appearance will definitely become the center of gossip after class.
Yukino is a one-year J class student, also known as the International Liberal Arts Class. Most of the students in the class are returning from overseas or planning to study abroad, and 90% of the classes are girls.
Why would such a girl sit alone in such a classroom that seems to be used as a warehouse?
Ministry of Ministry? Is this her society?
"Please come in."
Yukino opened her mouth under the snow, and she didn't know if she saw that Sakura Yamauchi wasn't lying, or if she didn't plan to dwell on this little thing.
"Excuse me~" the two at the door whispered, then closed the door and walked in.
Thank you to the bigwigs for their monthly passes, tips and referral ticket support
