"Yes, Kawasaki Saki."

"What's the matter?" Yuan Oreki stopped to eat.

Stopping chewing means he's listening.It's a modern etiquette, like taking your earphones off when you're talking to someone.

Gen Oreki usually takes seriously the topics brought up by his friends.

Hikigu Hachiman thought for a while, and said, "Do you know what Kawasaki is doing at night?"

...?

"Is she on good terms with me?" Yuan Oreki asked back.

"I've never seen you talk to each other."

"Does she have any other contacts with me?" Yuan Oreki asked again.

"No."

"Then, does she like me?"

"possible."

There was silence.

Oreki Gen finished the remaining fried bread, and then said: "I said, Hiki Valley."

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes wandered, and a trace of sweat appeared on his forehead. In fact, he just wanted to talk to Oreki Gen, but it seemed that he started in the wrong direction.

"Did something happen to Kawasaki?" Gen Oreki asked.

"Ah..." Hikigaya Hachiman hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Kawasaki's younger brother came to us yesterday and said that his sister came home very late at night, and he was afraid of any accidents."

In fact, this is a matter of the Ministry of Service.But Hikigu Hachiman is willing to discuss with Oreki Gen.

Because in Hikiya Hachiman's view, Oreki Gen and himself are of the same kind.They are all looking for the purest emotion between people, hoping that both parties can understand each other.It is a spiritual pursuit based on personal ideals regardless of the material level.

This pursuit is called "real thing" by Hiki Valley Hachiman.

Minamoto Oreki might be a qualified person.

"Yukishita took my cat away," Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his head, "I want to use it to open Kawasaki's psychological defense."

"Haven't you considered being allergic to cats?" said Oreki Gen.

"Not yet."

"Then go ask."

Oreki Gen shrugged and pointed to the girl with a high ponytail who came in from outside the classroom.

Her expression was indifferent, her shirt was unbuttoned, revealing her snow-white skin.Zongwu Gao's school uniform jacket was tied up around his waist.

With a backpack in one hand, she looks like a bad girl, and she exudes a "don't come near me" aura.

"It's kind of scary." Hikigu Hachiman said in a low voice.

"Hikigu, courage is the hymn of mankind." Oreki Gen also said in a low voice.

Seeming to have noticed the gazes of the two, Kawasaki Saki glanced at them lightly, and after staying on Oreki Gen for a moment, he lowered his head and began to organize his schoolbag.

Oreki Gen noticed a tear mole under her right eye.

"Hikigaya." Oreki Gen said casually.

"what."

"Go play Undertale."

"Your topic is so jumpy."

"If you don't talk about anything else, that Kawasaki will beat us both up."

Sensing the vague gaze from Saki Kawasaki, Gen Oreki chose to kindly remind Hikigaya Hachiman.

Hikigu Hachiman thought for a while and said, "According to common sense, one girl can't beat two boys."

"Have you really thought about fighting?"

"Just say what you mean."

The rain outside gradually stopped, and the sun parted the dark clouds, illuminating the wet ground.

The surface of the puddle reflects the sky as the clouds recede and gradually turn blue.

Oreki Gen remembered the news from his mother yesterday.

"The top floor of the Royal Okura Hotel, Angel Ladder! It's a gift from Mommy! Remember to check it out tomorrow!"

"Remember to take a selfie for me when you arrive!"

"If you don't go, I'll introduce you to a good-looking big sister, the one who's prettier than Mommy."

"Actually, it's impossible for her to be prettier than me, but it's only a little short."

Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Did Hiratsuka-sensei Find a Boyfriend Today?

In Oreki's eyes, his mother is a beautiful, extremely narcissistic person with a very detached personality.Because he has been overseas for many years, in order to express his concern for his son, he often mails gifts to Gen Oreki.

Sometimes it's a handful of dirt; sometimes it's a shell; sometimes it's a can of air.

These are okay, quite artistic.

But when the mother's interest came up, the nature of the gift changed.

Sometimes it's a limited edition supercar; sometimes it's a yacht; sometimes it's a lion.

The supercar is still parked in the underground garage of the Quartz Building, and Oreki has never driven it because he is still underage; the yacht is drifting in Hokkaido, and a group of fishermen are hired to maintain it; as for the lion that has been fostered in Saudi Arabia, according to the feed The owner's photo shows that it rolls around after drinking and eating every day, just like a cat.

Today, my mother gave Zhemuyuan a shop on the first floor, and asked to go there tonight to send her a selfie.

If you don't go, things will become very troublesome.

Thinking of what his mother might do, Oreki Gen had a headache.

As night fell, Gen Oreki was wearing a school uniform, with his head bowed, standing at the entrance of the pedestrian street, surrounded by people coming and going, next to the entrance of the Royal Okura Hotel.

For the time being, no one noticed the standing student.

The numbers of traffic lights are constantly changing, and crowds are surging at the zebra crossing.

There were too many people, so I had to contact a friend to come and accompany him, so as not to faint inside.

Gen Oreki found an empty corner, took out his mobile phone, and called Shizuka Hiratsuka.

The call is connected.

"Hey."

There was an indistinct voice from the opposite side. If nothing else, Shizuka Hiratsuka was lying in the single apartment with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Oreki, what are you doing?"

"Can you come with me to Angel Ladder." Yuan Oreki cut to the chase.

Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly lost her voice.

After a while, I vaguely heard the sound of cigarette butts rubbing against the ashtray.

"I said, Oreki." Hiratsuka Shizuka's tone was very calm.

"exist."

"Minors are prohibited from entering or leaving such a place."

"Not going to drink, just take a picture and come back."

"That doesn't work either." Hiratsuka Shizuka refused decisively.

"Then I beg you."

"...Teacher-student relationship is not allowed, let's talk about it when you grow up."

"Mr. Hiratsuka, have you ever reflected on why you are still single?" Gen Oreki asked.

There was silence.

"Where are you?" Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly became enthusiastic.

There was also the crackling of a knuckle popping at the end of the phone.

Is this the sound that carbon-based organisms can make?

Not good.

"In your heart." Yuan Oreki hung up the phone.

When I opened Line, I originally wanted to send a message to the light music department, but when I saw the chat history, I found that they went to have dinner tonight.

Hikigu Hachiman seems to be busy today.

Axe Nogi Yu received a live broadcast at home.

Well, there is only one last option left.

Although I haven't contacted for a long time after joining Line... Is it a little awkward to ask for help from others?

But there is no choice in the current situation.

Gen Oreki opened Line, clicked on the profile picture of Xiaotiaoyou Liuhua, and made a voice call.

Soon, the call is connected.

"Sage of the abyss, long time no see."

On the other end of the phone, Xiaoniao Youliuhua's voice was pretending to be low, there were no other noises around him, it was very quiet, it should be in his own room.

Long time no see, it's been half a month.

Oreki Gen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Well, Kotoriyu, can you come with me... er, Angel Ladder?"

Inviting high school students who have only met once to a place like this is quite a conspiracy.
