The Trickster's Ninth Episode

Ren Amamiya passed the plan of Yatengu's mask mold without hesitation, and Crow was not a member of the Phantom Thieves anyway.

Of course, Violet Yoshizawa Sumire is not a member of the Phantom Thieves in name, because she was rejected by Morgana, but she is considered a non-staff member of the Phantom Thieves, after all, she has the desire to join the group.

Most importantly, Sumire Yoshizawa's mask is easy to make!Put the two pieces of dominoes together, just carve flower branches at the eye position.

Yu Gonglian held a carving knife in her hand, and the sawdust before the case gradually increased in the middle of the night.

Silent all night.

This is a single chapter of apology

This book is a self-proclaimed book, but in the past few days, the number of people reading the book has gradually increased, and book reviews and postings have also increased.

So before we get down to business, let’s talk about something to be happy about.

Regarding the update, my codeword speed is very slow.If you want to explode, just wait for it to be on the shelves.But my explosive update, ah!At most five more, I can't guarantee more.

Then let's get to the point.

Although most of the comments are not to the extent of giving opinions or giving pointers.

But I was still swayed by the anticipation embedded in the reviews.

I originally wrote in the preface that "a book is full of water", but yesterday I actually had the idea of ​​"I don't want water, I want to push the plot".

Just kidding.

Where does the main plot come from in daily life?

Unknowingly, my heart may have shifted from [daily life] to [urban entertainment].

You have already seen this, and you should also know that this book is based on the style of P5 games. It is written day by day. Interesting enough.

This means that the pace of the book will be very slow. When it comes to the entertainment industry, it often takes a few months to skip the boring creative period and present the results directly to the readers.

But I really don't have much D, and I don't know how to write about the industry, and I don't want to write about it.Urban entertainment, so I don't even want to write.

Vtuber is an important part of this book, but not the most important.

Sure enough, I still want to write about my daily life, so let’s go back to my original intention. I’m not in a hurry. The debut is slow, and it will probably be slow after the debut.Although I have a lot of interesting things in my mind after debut, but take my time.

Apologies to those readers who had expectations, or wanted to make suggestions.

Please allow me to reiterate that what I am going to write is not the story you want to read.

that's all!

Chapter 52 Cherry Blossoms Falling

April 4 → August 14

On Friday morning, Ren Amamiya walked alone on the cherry blossom slope with her schoolbag on her back, and yawned.

On this day, the cherry blossoms withered.

The tree branches became bare, but the ground was covered with cherry blossom petals, like a carpet of cherry blossoms, which had a different flavor than usual.

This situation, different from the cherry blossoms in full bloom, is another kind of peerless beauty.But it is also the last beauty!

Although the cherry blossoms are all over the ground, it is beautiful, but it will be cleaned up within today.When I think that I won't be able to see it from tomorrow, I will inevitably have some different emotions in my heart.

Having said that, the cherry blossoms should have withered long ago.Cherry blossoms usually bloom in late March and wither in early April. The fact that this cherry blossom slope can last until mid-April should have something to do with the passing of the cold front during this period, but this is the limit.

As a result, the exhilarating journey to school can't last even a week?

Thinking about it this way, I felt even more exhausted after being sluggish because of staying up late.

It would be great if I could spend all my time on Vtuber and part-time job without going to school.

There was such a thought in my heart for a moment.It's not that he doesn't want to study, the entrance exam is still very important, but the things in the class are too shallow for him, even if he wants to improve his grades, he can't do it by listening to the class.So his classes are basically just a waste of time.

It's a pity, it's a pity, life has to go on, Amamiya Ren looked at the time, it was still early before the bell for class.

But there is no reason to walk slowly today, so go to the classroom early, maybe there is still time to catch up on sleep.

Easily detached from the slight sadness and reluctance, Ren Amamiya's legs, which were just strolling, expanded their pace. When she was about to speed up, she suddenly saw a sakura color at the edge of her vision.

Amamiya Ren was stunned for a moment, and looked over there. Inside the guardrail on the right, far away from the asphalt road, there was a cherry blossom tree, which was incompatible with other withered cherry blossom trees around it, full of cherry blossoms.

strangeness.

The cherry blossoms on Mitsusaka Sakura Slope are considered to bloom late and wither late. If it weren’t for this year’s climate problem, it would be impossible to see cherry blossoms in mid-April.Therefore, even though Ren Amamiya felt sorry for the withered cherry blossoms, she was already content.

How could there be cherry blossoms at this time?

Is it a fake tree?No, no, what's the point of putting a fake tree in this kind of place?

Yu Gonglian stopped in her tracks, after thinking about it, she still couldn't hold back her curiosity.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he climbed over the guardrail next to the road and walked directly into this small cherry blossom forest.

Before going to school in the morning, there were many students on Sakura Slope, and Ren Amamiya's behavior was very eye-catching. Many students recognized him as a [Legendary Transfer Student], and started talking about it.

But that's all. Although climbing over the guardrail on the way to school is unique, it is not something that people can't see. Although the discussion is big, it has not come up to stop it.

Ren Amamiya walked on the road paved with cherry blossom petals, came to the cherry blossom tree, stretched out her finger and touched the petals at the top of the branch...not fake flowers.

but why?

The cherry blossom tree in front of me seems to be still in full bloom. The cherry blossoms are full of treetops and branches, and the bloom is very bright.

"Do you care about this tree?" Just as Ren Amamiya was looking at this abnormal cherry tree in a daze, a voice came from beside him.

Yu Gonglian looked for the reputation, and the person who spoke was a woman.He has short brown hair and a gentle smile on his face. His red pupils clearly reflect Ren Amamiya's figure.Wearing a braided headband for hair restraint on the head, without any modification, it matches the delicate face just right.

Carrying a satchel, she looks like a student, but she is not wearing a school uniform jacket that allows Ren Amamiya to identify the other party's grade, but only a white shirt and a black vest inside the school uniform.The bottom is a black and red plaid skirt with black pantyhose and brown leather boots.

Because the other party was not wearing a school uniform, Ren Amamiya could not judge the other party's grade in the first place.So there was no way to decide the words of greeting, and he hesitated for a few seconds.

The second grade is an awkward section. There are seniors, peers and juniors at the same time. In this society that is extremely serious about seniority, the interpersonal communication of the second grade can be said to be quite delicate.

As if seeing Ren Amamiya's hesitation, the girl who spoke turned her eyes to the cherry blossom tree next to her and continued: "The flowering period of this tree is different from other trees next to it, because this tree did not grow in the same batch as these trees. , but later planted alone."

Planted alone?But even if it is planted separately, and the flower species are different, it is impossible to violate the basic ecology of cherry blossoms!

"I don't really know the details, but this tree has been around for a long time. Everyone knows that there is a unique cherry blossom tree in Guangsaka Sakura Slope. The flowering period is much later than other cherry blossoms. It is almost after the other cherry blossoms have fallen. Flowering period." The girl smiled and put her gaze back on Amamery Ren. "You are a transfer student, so it's normal not to know."

She knows me?Amameiya Ren was a little surprised, but she didn't get entangled. It's not impossible for her [Legendary Transfer Student] to be known by others because of the rumors in the school.

"There is such a unique cherry blossom tree planted in this cherry blossom forest, has no one objected?" Amamiya Ren asked.

In the Somei Yoshino, which blooms and falls at the same time, although such a tree is unique, it is too abrupt.Places like Cherry Blossom Slope are actually man-made scenic spots. This piece of land has an owner. This kind of distinctive tree will undoubtedly destroy the overall sense of harmony. The owner of the land should not allow it to continue to exist.

"There are indeed some problems, but the existence of this tree is allowed. It's just that because the flowering period is different from other trees, the petals of this tree will be taken care of by the student union every year."

"Student union?" Hearing this term, Amamiya Ren was puzzled again.

Why would the student council do this kind of thing?Even if there are no special arrangements for daily or weekly students, you can still arrange people from the gardening club to be in charge!

Inexplicably, a flash of light flashed through Ren Amamiya's mind. He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned his head to look at the cherry blossom tree, and asked in a mysterious way:

"Who planted this cherry blossom tree?"

"This tree..." The girl seemed to have known that Amamiya Ren would ask this question, and turned her head to look at the cherry blossom tree with Amamiya Ren, with a smile on her eyebrows and a hint of longing in her eyes.

"It was planted by the person who guarded this cherry blossom forest seven years ago—the then president of the student union, Tomoyo Sakagami."

Chapter 53 The saga of transfer students continues

Sakagami Tomoyo?

The student council president seven years ago, so it has been so long.

It's amazing!Just mentioning this period of the past, Umiya Ren may be the one who knows it best, maybe even better than the girl next to her.

Thinking of that sassy silver-haired beauty seven years ago, she delayed her relationship because of this cherry blossom forest.In the end, what kind of mood did you plant this tree in this forest?

Then the silver-haired beauty entrusted the tree she planted to the younger generation to take care of it, and it has been passed down from generation to generation until today.The small tree that was first planted can now bloom bright flowers.

That's why this tree is taken care of by the student council, or...by the past generations of student council presidents.

"Do you like cherry blossoms very much?" The girl beside her asked casually.

"...Ah! I like it very much."

Now, I like it more.

Ren Amamiya looked at the cherry tree and laughed, but probably no one could understand what he was laughing at.

"Really? If you like it, next time you want to come over, remember to walk the right way and don't climb over the guardrail." The girl looked at Yu Gonglian and said.

"Uh..." The sudden reprimand was not harsh, but soft and strong, unexpectedly powerful.

Yugong Lian laughed out loud, but after a few laughs, she restrained her voice, and said to the girl with a smile: "Okay, I'm very sorry, I will remember."

"That's good, it's getting late, go to the classroom, don't be late."

As she said that, the girl took Ren Amamiya along the so-called right path and left the cherry blossom forest.

On the morning of Golden Day, it was less than a week since Ren Amamiya transferred from another school.In the end, there was a little commotion because he was walking with the student council president.

But putting aside this trivial matter, the morning of this day was quite peaceful, except that Umiya Ren slept for four more classes.

The teachers have no choice but to take Ren Yugong, because as long as they ask Ren Yugong to get up, Ren Yugong will apologize politely and ask the teacher to ask the question again, and then give the correct answer very calmly.Even if the teachers made things difficult for him with questions with a high deviation value, he still answered them all.

Then sit down and go to sleep.

This strength and composure made Miss Akuya, the "sleeping friend" Ren Amamiya led, envied.

"Hey, is your mental state getting worse and worse recently? Although I understand your feelings! But are you trying too hard?" After class, Jinghua looked at Yu Gonglian who was resurrected on time and said helplessly with.

And hearing the conversation between the two of them, Minato Aqua, who was going to find Kagura Mea, suddenly stopped her movements, and listened secretly with her little ears pricked up in her seat.

"You stayed up late again?"

"It's been a while, there is no way, there are too many things." Yu Gonglian said truthfully.

"If I remember correctly, you still go to work at night." Jinghua said with a frown.

"Don't mention it, the boss who worked part-time yesterday! It's really too much. Even though his store is already too busy, he still doesn't want to hire two waiters. I leave all the work to me, and I'm exhausted. It's gone." Yu Gonglian complained with a sigh.

"You can't go on like this, can you?"

"It's okay, it should be fine after this time."
