Let's Laugh at This Beautiful Day

"I don't know why that guy ran to the classroom in such a hurry. Anyway, aren't you in the same class? We'll meet sooner or later." Izumi Ming shrugged.

"That's right." Tomoe Takasago nodded in agreement.

In fact, they are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is not very good. At most, it is a friendship between friends and neighbors, and even because it is a relationship between the few people who know that Zong Ya is a light novelist, the topic of the two will always revolve around Zong Ya. I didn't even think about bringing up new topics.

After chatting intermittently until the school, Takasago Tomoe and Izumi Akira said goodbye to the first-grade classroom, and Izumi Akira also walked to the second-grade classroom.

"Morning."

"morning."

In his seat in the aisle, He Quanming responded indifferently to a few classmates who had greeted him and did not have a deep friendship with him. That's true.

He Quan Ming, who usually comes to school, is either a sweaty worker who is exhausted to death, or he walks to his seat expressionlessly with dark circles under his eyes and falls asleep. When other classmates greet him politely, he doesn't even bother to respond. Back, the classmates who knew him were already used to his character.

I didn't expect to get his response today, and he didn't go to sleep directly when he returned to his seat... Was this guy arrested for body modification during the summer vacation?

As for the thoughts of passers-by and classmates, Izumi Ming was too lazy to care. After he put away his schoolbag and other things, he first looked around his classmates around him—Yao Tsuneki, who was always sitting in front of him, had not arrived yet; he The person sitting in the back is Jiaweitian... ah no, it's Jiawei Tian Zhengyi, although the schoolbag is already on the seat but no one is there, it seems that he and his good friend Yufu Nanasaki don't know where to go.

Sitting on the left of him is the well-known otaku in the school, An Yilun, and on the right is... Huh?Is there anyone sitting on his right?

When Iquan Ming stared at the empty seat on the right and pondered, a voice sounded.

"Yes, Izumi-san. I'm sitting on your right."

- The air speaks!

"... Izumi-san, even if it were me, it would still be a little sad to be called air."

"Is it just a little bit? Normal people should be angry... ahh--sorry, sorry, Kato, your breath blocking is too strong. I, a Rider, was naturally restrained by assassin, so I didn't find you, sorry. already."

Izumi Akira bowed his head to apologize to the girl who appeared out of nowhere, and a subtle emotion appeared on the girl's flat face.

"Izumi-kun, do you mean that I'm not a normal person... I don't have the inherent ability to block breath... Shouldn't I? Should I keep saying that I have a low sense of existence for you? Are you angry about this?"

Izumi Akira said helplessly: "If you are really angry, I have to applaud you, Kato Megumi, who is always expressionless... It's true that you have a very low sense of existence? If only I could spot you at a glance. That's weird."

The girl seems to be accustomed to being told that she has a low sense of presence. She doesn't mind what Heizumi said at all. Instead, she points her lips and doesn't know what she is thinking: "It's really weird, Izumi-san is weird... I feel your whole People are not the same as they were before the summer vacation. How should I put it...become more vicious, more confident, more sensitive, more bullying, and...more like talking? Obviously I sat on the right side of you for a whole grade. I didn't find it, I didn't expect you to talk to me now."

"It's you who talked to me first. I didn't notice you at first, let alone transcribing to you. After all, I'm not interested in speaking in the air." Izumi Ming scratched his head and organized some words. "...How to say, something happened in the summer vacation that is enough to give people a new life? Isn't that the case with adolescence? Just because of some small things will lead to a [-]-degree change in the inner thoughts, whether it is dealing with others or personality. Principles may be dyed with the opposite color from before, anyway, I am still me, not someone else's soul has passed through."

"Oh... that's it." Kato Megumi nodded noncommittally, "but I think it's better to be careful with the words Izumi-san speaks. You don't seem to realize that you just stabbed me again, if it wasn't for me. Maybe he's already angry... Well, people who talk to Izumi-kun will be angry, but that hasn't changed."

"I think you're already angry."

"Huh? No, right? Izumi-san's open mouth shouldn't be enough to make me angry."

"No no no, although there is no angry expression on your face, I can sense that you are a little unhappy now!"

"Is it...? Just treat it like that." Kato, still with a calm look, picked up the textbook and began to look through it.

Izumi Akira, who was ignored, did not give up and continued to talk to Kato Megumi. He thought for a while, and suddenly showed a wonderful smile.

"Kato, I think of a way to make me stop ignoring you!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Kato, I've figured out how to solve the problem of your lack of presence!"

"...Why do you want to ask again in another way?" Kato Megumi finally raised her eyes from the textbook, her tone was so flat that people didn't know what she was thinking.

"Of course it's because you just ignored me! This is a very important discovery!" Izumi Izumi pushed the black-rimmed glasses, and the mirror light flashed inexplicably, so that Megumi Kato looked away and didn't dare to look directly at Izumi Akira .

"Hey...is that so? Does it matter?"

"Of course it's important! The sense of existence is the proof of one's existence. Even if you are used to being ignored, you don't really like the feeling of being excluded, do you? No one likes being treated as an invisible person except the transparent world--or Say you like this feeling?" Izumi Akira asked Kato Megumi in surprise.

"It doesn't matter to me. I don't like it or hate it, as long as it doesn't bother others... I just felt like Izumi-san was harassing me verbally. Is it an illusion?"

"It's an illusion, yes!" Izumi Ming nodded decisively, and continued, "Well, let's put it this way, have you ever encountered a crowded train and been squeezed out of the train because of your low sense of presence, or no one cared about you and had nothing to do with it? Pushing your situation shyly?"

Kato Megumi's hand holding the textbook was obviously stiff, and her face was still expressionless.

"Have you ever encountered a situation where everyone was on the bus when teaching off-campus, but you were delayed because of something, and when you counted the number of people, you didn't count the number of people and drove away by yourself?"

Kato Megumi's expression froze slightly, as if all of these had spoken from the bottom of her heart, revealing her dark history. Although there was still no obvious expression, it could be seen that her mood was not very good.

Izumi Ming sighed helplessly: "So it's not that I like to be nosy, but it's really dangerous to have a low sense of presence! Kato, you haven't had any accidents so far, so you're lucky, but if you die one day , want to ask for help, but find that the rescuers are there and ignore you, what should I do? Not to mention that if you are in a car accident when you cross the road without seeing you, it is not your business."

"...Will it be that serious? Usually, although people don't notice my existence, they will avoid me unconsciously, as if they know there are people there. The things you said should not happen." After thinking for a while , Kato's expression returned to normal, but the tone did not have that buoyant feeling.

"Should! You said yes! What if there is an exception!" He Quanming clapped the table, "It's a matter of life! You don't pay attention to yourself, how can others help you! Although I'm just talking to you, I haven't spoken more than two times. The next table is ten sentences, but I can't watch someone die because of a low sense of existence, which is like a novel!"

Izumi Ming shouted in a passionate tone: "That's right, I didn't help you because I thought your characteristics were amazing, I'm a good person who is eager for justice and righteousness, and draws a knife to help when the road is injustice!"

"...Well, you seem to have given some strange reason." Kato complained lightly, and at the same time closed the textbook in his hand, turned around and sat facing Akira Izumi, "But you seem to have a little more to say. Reason, let me hear what Izumi-kun thinks?"

"Very good! As expected of Kato, this choice is very wise." Izumi Ming nodded with satisfaction, looking at Kato Megumi's delicate face and slightly dull eyes, as well as the flickering presence until Kato was caught by him. Staring was a little unbearable, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly said, "Okay, now I will close my eyes, Kato, you will do your best to eliminate your sense of existence, and then walk to a place within my line of sight."

When Kato was about to complain about his strange ability to actively eliminate the sense of presence, Izumi Akira suddenly said seriously: "Don't worry, go away Kato, no matter where you are, I will definitely find you."

"...Really." Muttering in a small voice, Kato got up with a flat expression and walked to a classmate's seat casually. Everything was no different from what she usually did, and she didn't do anything special. ——But the classmates who could vaguely sense someone now found nothing now, if she hadn’t flashed so fast, she would have almost bumped into her a few times.

...So it turns out that I really know such a strange skill.

Kato Megumi, who didn't know whether to be happy or sad about this, simply didn't think about anything, so she stood by and watched Izumi Akira slowly open his eyes, his eyes swept across the empty seats, across the entire classroom, over dozens of students. Classmates, passing her—finally set his eyes on her.

He smiled and said, "I found you, Megumi Kato."
