Ichijo Masumi came back to his senses, and the rain had stopped.

Smelling the fragrance of ginger lily, a true mood is sunny.

It was perhaps the happiest day of the year.

No, from the moment I found a small gift at the door yesterday...

In the past two days, Ichijo Masumi has been a happy person.

The girl once again took out a small card and admired it.

[Sparkling piano sound,

Let every summer afternoon,

It's all a gift.

- Downstairs Love Counseling Department Asama still water]

The beautiful and neat handwriting reveals the tenderness of the writer.

It turned out that he was downstairs, and he had been listening to his own piano or mood for the past few months.

Music connects two people who have never met,

From this gift, she felt a reality that she hadn't experienced for a long time.

She felt that it was a kindness that had nothing to do with identity, appearance, or purpose.

[Children who play the piano will not become bad].

It is also because of this sentence that she has insisted on practicing the piano until now.

"Kikujiro's Summer", "DAYLIGHT", and "Weather Child Fantasy", all of which she has never tried, are all presented to the person downstairs.

If it were him, he would be able to feel happy and grateful.

Close the key cover and lie on it,

The girl's lustrous green silk and black piano blend together, and a faint smile on her face is even fairer.

That name, like a piano key, constantly taps on one's heart.

"Asama still water, it can't be the Asama still water who rejected Chiyo Konoe..."

Chiyo Konoe, I didn't expect that for 15 years, I would be here and win you.

Incredible fate.

Ichijo Masumi looked at the leaden sky that was very low,

But it is as if we have seen the Tyndall effect, and the light from the sky will penetrate the edge of the dark clouds and sprinkle on the earth.

Oh, yes

Ichijo Masumi is a coward.

The contempt of the family, the betrayal of feelings, and the ill-intentioned targeting, she never wanted to face it.

Take a step back and open the sky?

Is it deceitful to run away from shameful but effective?

Why is it that the sky you look up at is so narrow that it is difficult to breathe?

However, Ichijo Masumi had no choice, she could only choose to escape.

Each act of filling courage with anger becomes a more painful memory.

She doesn't like to run away, she doesn't have the comfort she needs.

She just ran away.

Wants to love but doesn't dare to love, fragile and sensitive, hates conflict, and remains pessimistic about most things.

She had no choice but to escape into another, purer, more expansive world.

In a world where only music exists, she can find peace.

This world,

No demagogic language, no other planned actions, no pressure from all sides...

Only Melody, which will not betray her, will respond to her mood completely.

And now,

Because of the melody, the world walked into a second person.

It's like Tyndall's rays looming outside the window.

Those who can only escape will also have a way forward.

Yesterday she faintly heard a knock on the door, but she ignored it.

In his heart, he must be rude...

The girl stood up and put the little cardboard in her pocket,

This is the second time she has chosen to move forward.

If he really loves music...

If he still loves to play the piano...

If he is willing to walk from the third floor to the fourth floor every afternoon and share the joy of music with her...

The four-hand piano club has a real meaning.

Imagining the appearance of [Asama still water],

You don't need to be handsome, just have a sincere smile on your face,

You don't need to be good at chatting, just listen to music with yourself.

I heard that the love counseling department is run by the second lady of the Fujiwara family, is she willing to let go?

Ichijo Masumi came to the door of the [Love Counseling Department] and took a deep breath.

【Knock Knock】

"Please come in."

A slightly majestic response.

"It's rude."

Ichijo Zhencheng tightened his mind, pushed the door in, nodded and bowed.

"Hello, is Asama Shizumi-kun here?"

Ichijo Masumi looked up at the man sitting in front of him.

“？？？” X2

“！！！” X2

“......”X2

The new customer is actually a true one.

A love consultation from [Confession Crusher: Sorry for the Hundred Kills]?

Asama frowned, feeling that something was wrong, sat down in the minister's chair, and took a step back.

Seiichiro Yamashita's shadow voice is activated:

"I am, what's the matter?"

Seeing this face, Ichijo Masumi instantly felt a heavy chest and a stroke.

"You... It's shallow still water??? ”

Apparently, she fell into a trap again, like a complete fool,

Is yesterday's gift also a plot with ulterior motives?

"It's me, if it was the last incident, I said I would keep my mouth shut, how did you find here?"

Ichijo Masumi took out a small card from his pocket,

"Did you write this?"

“...... You're the [Sanshiro] upstairs?! ”

Still here knowingly asking!

Ichijo Masumi took a deep breath, suppressed the hand that crumpled the card and kept trembling, and said:

"You really investigated me, no matter what your purpose is, and no matter what you want to do to the Five Senses,

If you want to entangle, go and dangle elsewhere! Please don't harass me again! ”

Ichijo Masumi tore the small card in half and turned to leave.

Watching the flammable and explosive spiritual internal friction girl leave the love counseling department in anger,

Asama got up with a blank face and picked up the card fragments on the ground.

A true sum is actually [Sanshiro].

She had been playing the piano upstairs a few months ago, and today's event should not have been the work of the guard.

But recalling Konoe's smile when he heard the sound of the piano here, Asama felt that Konoe Chiyo must have known that the upstairs was a Masumi.

I checked the side quests of the system, and I was reminded of yesterday's Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1.

Is this the [Symphonic Lover's Dream] that belongs to [Ichijo Matsumi]?

The Piano Prince, in addition to being a bit abnormal today, is playing some melancholy tunes every day, and last month he also played Beethoven's pathos for a week.

It's hard to relate to this angry girl.

In short, today's events, Asama doesn't matter.

It's just that the person who plays the piano upstairs is probably going to be mentally disturbed by himself.

Although he didn't know where to offend this one.

And the five regents are born to rush?

Isn't Rena Nijo good!

Pinching his eyebrows, the rain that had stopped outside for a while began to fall again.

The back of the head itches slightly, turn around.

Seeing Futami and Majima behind him, he stared at himself with curiosity and scrutiny.

Well, in the confrontation just now, people who don't know the details will most likely think that it was the victim girl who reprimanded the negative man.

Asama shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

Then he explained the ins and outs of the witness confession incident and the thank you letter to [Sanshiro], and explained it to Futami and Majima.

To put it simply,

It's a piece that has seen Asama, but she doesn't know that Asama is called [Asama].

Today I should be looking for [Asama], but it turns out that [Asama] is this Asama, and finally leaves with negative energy.

Two girls who have no other social circle except for Class A, and they don't know much about the situation of Ichijo Masumi.

I just saw Asama hated twice by a person,

Futami and Majima were both happy in their hearts, but they remained silent.

The lonely still water king is a good still water king!

Asama talked to Futami and Majima about the two systems of love counseling.

Majima wants to get started as soon as possible, and is more inclined to the first system of [goal, self-knowledge, and action].

So Asama recommended three books: the pure novel "Dangerous Relationship", the half-story and half-theory "Lies on the Diagnosis Chair", and the pure theory "The Psychology of Love" to Majima.

"Dangerous Relationship" can be borrowed from the step-by-step pulling technique.

"The Lie on the Diagnosis Chair" tells in detail how to be honest with customers through self-disclosure, and uses negative examples to warn people of the corrosive effects of sex and money.

"The Psychology of Love" is a set of logical, self-consistent and positive love cognitive system.

As expected, Majima chose "The Lie on the Desk" that Asama mentioned at the beginning.

Futami is more interested in semiotics, so he chooses to learn the second system of [definition, super symbols, and conflicts] first.

Asama casually pulled three books from the bookshelf and spread them out on the table.

"The Chrysanthemum and the Knife" in anthropology, "Guns, Bacteria and Steel" in history, and "The Moon and Sixpence" in fiction.

"Do you know what these books have in common?"

Futami replied without thinking, "... Are they all plural noun titles? ”

"Yes, these are symbols too. Symbols are concepts, cultural matrices, which can be abstract and refined, or referred to by concrete objects.

Writers are good at summarizing complex content through simple symbols. We also need to have this kind of summarizing.

This is especially important within the Positioning, Supersymbol, Conflict system. ”

So Futami put all three books in his bag.

Asama is interested, and he will tell the symbol, a must-have knowledge point in the love counseling department;

"Symbols run through our lives, and they are everywhere.

National flags, currencies, logos for luxury goods, mascots for the Olympic Games, emojis for social media...

In the short, flat and fast information age, symbols are more important, which can greatly reduce the cost of communication and speed up the flow of information.

Sometimes a symbol solves a communication problem more than a sentence.

How would you describe me? ”

Asama crossed her hands vertically over her chest and asked the two girls questions.

"The Cross."

"Defense?"

"Yes, you see, you're using the established symbolic language to illustrate my action, not saying, 'You're crossing your hands vertically.'"

APPLE'S GOD-BITTEN APPLE, TIKTOK'S EIGHTH NOTE, INS'S CAMERA, AND THE SOFTWARE ICONS IN THESE MOBILE PHONES ALL FOLLOW THE ESSENTIALS OF SEMIOTIC COMMUNICATION.

This one is even more interesting when I draw a ○.

Some people think it's the focus, some people think it's a boundary limit, some people think it's the zero egg of the exam, some people think it's the cancel button, and some people even think it represents a game...

Just like Tsukikai and Mai you just gave different answers.

People with different cultural and educational backgrounds receive different cultural mother tongues, so they will react differently to symbols.

We can do this by..."

At this time, the alarm clock set by the mobile phone went off.

"Let's talk about this next time."

"Uh-huh." Two star-eyed girls nodded frequently.

Asama draws the curtains, cleans things up, turns off the lights, and locks the door.

Walk towards the school gate with two new members, Futami and Majima.

...

The rain comes to be delicate and sparse, even if it can't be more, it refuses to do without.

In the afternoon of the rainy season, there is no one on campus.

Three transparent umbrellas, like three small boats, are released in the drizzle, moving slowly with the wind.

Fuami, on Asama's left, is depressed because the umbrella increases the distance between the two.

The joy of learning Asama's secret fades away.

My mind is full of warnings about the escalation of the boss's difficulty, and Shizumi-kun has already indicated that he doesn't want to fall in love, how can this be good!?

If you are still active at this time, will it make Asama feel that she is a woman who doesn't know what to do?

Second sight, think of a way!

However, the time spent with Jingshui-kun has become longer, and there is always a chance, isn't it?

...

The island on the right of Asama is playing with his mobile phone and is silent with low eyebrows.

When will I be able to really help Asama and get a good income in the relationship counseling department?

In the next few days, Mai Majima, you have to study hard!

Majima has closed the status of renting his girlfriend's orders, and he is a multi-millionaire woman, so to hell with this job!

Well, resignation application submission!

Reasons for leaving...

The girl hesitated for a moment and ticked [Marry].

...

Since the identity of the non-romantic [Great Teacher Asama Shizui] was revealed to the second meeting, the symptoms of Asama's adolescent anxiety have been greatly alleviated.

Second sight of the Great Myojin, don't waste time on sour love, isn't it fragrant with the taste of spiritual progress and money?

I want to use my knowledge to fill your three years of high school life.

A man and two women walked to the school gate in the drizzle,

On the right side of the road, 200 meters away, there are three black Mercedes S600s with twin flashing lights.

Holding an umbrella, Goxingin beckoned to the three of Asama.

There were two people standing beside him,

When he got closer, he found that he was standing with Arima and Takishima.

When the three beautiful boys stand together, it is very dazzling.

Arima Yoshihiko, with a steady temperament, like a prince from an ancient empire,

The saint of the Imperial Academy, confident and calm, like Rothschild, the rising star of the old money family,

Takishima Tetsuya is a delicate bookish air, like a young great magister from another world.

The point is, they're all handsome.

Today's karaoke event, am I the only one who looks good?

I knew I would have borrowed a helmet and come back.

Can you say goodbye to stomach pain now?

Fukasawa got out of the third car at this time, opened the white umbrella with cherry blossoms, and waved at Futami and Majima.

Watching Futami and Majima walk towards Fukasawa.

Remembering the plan that Fukasawa sent to himself privately yesterday...

Forget it, let's go.

Boys take the first car, and girls sit in the second car.

It can be judged that the members of the student council, Konoe, Emiya, and Nijo are in the second car behind.

The timing is not right, and it is not feasible to support Arima for the time being.

Even if he stays at karaoke, Arima shows his singing skills, which is probably not very attractive to Konoe.

Seeing that they had already gotten into the car, the Imperial Palace signaled that they could go.

Because there were four boys in the first car, Goxingin became the driver himself.

Arima sat in the passenger seat and chatted with him about the preparations for the sports festival, and next week all the class committee members will be called by the student council to work.

Asama sat in the back row and listened,

And Takishima, who was also in the back seat and had just closed the door, turned his head sideways and greeted Asama with a smile:

"Asama-kun, that's a coincidence."

Asama nodded expressionlessly at Takishima.

Goxingin and Arima turned back curiously, and Goxingin asked:

"Do you know Asama on Takishima?"

Takishima replied with a standard smiling expression,

"Asama is very good at math, and the math teacher always praises him in our B class."

"And there's such a thing! Asama, were you opened a small stove by Hinoki Sensei? ”

Asama replied expressionlessly, "I was asked by my teacher to participate in the American Mathematics Competition AMC10. ”

Arima wondered: "But I didn't see you in Asama during the 2 training camps..."

Asama replied, "So did Arima-kun also participate?" I rejected Mr. Hinoki, so I didn't participate in the camp. ”

Arima was puzzled, "If you get the AMC10 and advance to win the AIME award, won't you be able to directly enter the Japanese Mathematics Olympiad national team?" This opportunity, for Asama's ability, it's a bit of a pity to give up, right? ”

"There's nothing to worry about, the main thing is that I can't take care of my energy, and I can't reach my ability."

Takishima winked at himself, indicating that he had listened to a joke.

I'd love to say to Takishima that you have a misunderstanding of my strength.

But as a [supporting role Asama still water], it is better to be silent than to explain too much.

The car started, and Asama closed his eyes and collected his thoughts.

It's already Friday, and Chiyo Konoe's bitcoins haven't been given to themselves yet.

Sure enough, are all the people who owe money uncle?

Add LINE friends to collect debts or something's dementia thoughts,Asama of physical strength 3 is not at all.。

Until he gets the technical protection of Komaba, Asama doesn't want to expose anything more.

Today is not a good opportunity -

Whether it's Arima's romance or their own Bitcoin.

Anyway, the skill is refreshed.,Wait for the guard to make another move.,Ask for the debt by the way.。

Three cars traverse the indifferent torrent of cars, climb the evening rush hour of Tokyo, all the way north,

In the leaden sky and drizzle, I drove towards the Beijing suburb manor of the Imperial Academy.
