A world only known by the God of Lost Love

Suzuki Ren bowed slightly to the senior in front of him very politely and said:

"My name is Suzuki Ren, and I will be transferring to the second-year general course at Suimei Affiliated High School. Please look after me in the future."

"Oh, isn't he a good boy with a pretty good personality?"

Seeing Ren Suzuki's response was so appropriate and polite, Mitaka Jin smiled and nodded.

"Since you are so polite, I won't care about the fact that you are more handsome than me."

"Mitaka-senpai, you have given me the award."

After this extremely normal and ordinary exchange, Suzuki Ren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Unlike the self-talking Misaki Kamiigusa and Chihiro Sengoku, who has no adult appearance at all, at least judging from the other party's social style and ability, this Mitaka Jin is undoubtedly a very normal ordinary person.

Great...it's great that this dorm isn't full of weirdos!

Ren Suzuki was happy for this from the bottom of her heart.

"…………"

After Suzuki Ren greeted Mitaka Jin, Shiina Mashiro, who had been standing behind Suzuki Ren from the beginning, remained silent. Looking at her unresponsive look at this time, she seemed to be completely unaware. I plan to follow Ren Suzuki and say hello to him...

"Um...Shiina-san?"

Seeing this, Suzuki Ren quickly took a half step back to Shiina Mashiro, and whispered in her ear:

"Next, let me introduce myself to everyone a little bit..."

"……kindness."

After receiving Suzuki Ren's reminder, Shiina Mashiro nodded, and then said to everyone present:

"I am Mashiro Shiina."

"..."

"..."

"Eh? Is it possible that it's over already?"

"kindness."

"No, no, no, this is too concise, isn't it?!"

Ren Suzuki hurriedly approached Mashiro Shiina again and said to her:

"Although everyone should know that you are a second-year student in the art department, you still have to say polite words like please take care of me!"

"...?"

After hearing Suzuki Ren's words, Shiina Mashiro's face first showed a hint of confusion, but she finally listened to Suzuki Ren's words, and then added to everyone present:

"In the future, please teach me more."

After saying that, she turned to look at Ren Suzuki again:

"This should be okay?"

"…………Ah, that’s enough."

Suzuki Ren smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Well, I know that Shiina-san is from England, and the social etiquette between the two sides is very different. But considering that you will be going to school here soon, I still ask you to get used to the minimum social etiquette. "

"kindness."

Fortunately, after hearing Suzuki Ren's persuasion, Shiina Mashiro did not show any intention to resist. Instead, he nodded very obediently and continued to look at Suzuki Ren with his clear eyes:

"Then... Yulian will teach me?"

"no problem."

Seeing that the other party's attitude was so cooperative, Suzuki Ren also nodded happily and agreed.

"Next, I will teach you as much common sense as possible about living here. Although you may feel a little hard at first, the social interactions here are essentially minimal exchanges that will not cause trouble to each other. So you should get used to it pretty quickly.”

"……kindness."

Shiina Mashiro nodded again, and then fell into silence again.

At the same time, the exchange between Ren Suzuki and Mashiro Shiina just now caused the rest of the people present to express surprise——

"What! This is the first time we've met, and you two already seem to have such a good relationship!"

Misaki Uekusa said with an extremely envious tone:

"I also want to have a good relationship with Mashiro quickly!"

"Before that, let's let the two of them take their seats."

Mitaka Jin smiled and said:

"If we don't open the meal, Senshi-sensei will open a second can of beer."

"That's right! Then hurry up and take your seats, our hot pot party is about to start!"

Misaki Uekusa clapped her hands and said.

At the same time, Ren Suzuki noticed that Chihiro Sengoku, who had been silent at the dining table since the beginning, turned out to be secretly drinking alone...

Mashiro Shiina is obviously this guy's cousin, right?Shouldn't this guy show more concern? !

"…………lotus."

"...What's wrong? Shiina-san?"

"Both of us, do we want to go over now?"

"Eh? Ah...yes."

Suzuki Ren, who was suddenly asked a question, quickly replied:

"The two seniors have already greeted us, so naturally we have to accept the invitation..."

"Oh, I see."

Shiina Mashiro nodded to express his understanding.

But soon, when the two came to the dining table, Shiina Mashiro asked again:

"Then...where should I sit next?"

"Hey...even if you ask me about this kind of thing..."

Suzuki Ren turned his slightly confused gaze to Mitaka Jin.

"Mitaka-senpai, are the seats on our side fixed?"

"No, you can sit wherever you want."

Mitaka Jin said in a relaxed tone:

"Suzuki-san and Shiina-san just need to choose the position they like."

"...Well, that's it, Shiina-san."

After getting the answer from the other party, Ren Suzuki turned back to Mashiro Shiina and said:

“You just have to pick the location you want.”

Having said that, Ren Suzuki directly chose a seat in order to demonstrate.

After he made his choice, Shiina Mashiro immediately sat on the seat to his left without hesitation...

(Did you choose me instead of staying close to your relatives?)

Regarding Mashiro Shiina's choice, Suzuki Ren felt a moment of surprise in his heart. However, when he saw Qianshi Chihiro preparing to open the second can of beer, he immediately shook his head secretly.

(Compared to this drunkard who hates marrying, it seems that I am more reliable...)

"Mashiro seems to trust you..."

Finally, after the two of them took their seats, Qianshi Qianxun spoke for the first time:

"This is really surprising. This child has always been respectful to other people when she was in the UK. I didn't expect that she would already be so clinging to you after only knowing you for less than an hour."

"...This is probably just because I am one of the few people she knows here."

Ren Suzuki explained:

"After all, this is a foreign country for Shiina-san, so it's natural that she would want to rely on people she knows."

In his opinion, Shiina Mashiro's dependence tendency at this time was entirely due to the uneasiness and fear caused by being in a foreign country.

As long as she is given some time to adapt to this land, her situation will surely improve.

however……

"...Humph, it would be great if it was really like what you said."

The corner of Qianshi Qianxun's mouth curved with a hint of meaning.

"Okay. Now that everyone is here, let's get started quickly."

After saying that, she raised the beer can she had just opened and signaled to everyone.

The rest of the people also picked up the cups filled with juice and raised them together——

"Shiina-san, I have to follow you here..."

"kindness."

Except for Mashiro Shiina, who was half a beat slower.

(It seems... my next workload will not be too small.)

Looking at the profile of the man who was silently looking at the sukiyaki pot in front of him, Suzuki Ren couldn't help but think this.

Chapter 5: Shiina Mashiro’s “weirdness”

"Haha...it's really a lively dormitory."

After the hot pot party, Suzuki Ren returned to the room and immediately lay down on the bed.

Logically speaking, just having hot pot with future neighbors shouldn't consume too much energy. However, everything that happened in that short hour completely overturned Ren Suzuki's idea of ​​hot pot parties. Imagine——

"Come on! Mabai, take a bite of this thick and slippery part! Ah! But be careful, if you are not careful and gentle, something very hot will shoot out from inside!"

"Kamiizusa-senpai...are these really adjectives that should be used on onions?"

"Hmm...I see, it's 79,55,78, [-], [-]. Just like it looks, it's a pretty slender type."

"What are you analyzing with such seriousness on your face...Mitaka-senpai?"

"Ku-ha! As expected, hot pot must be paired with beer. No, I have to get another can!"

"How much do you plan to drink..."

Ren Suzuki was stunned by the performance of the three people present. Whether it was Misaki Uekusa, who frequently made obscene jokes and was full of pornographic waste, or Chihiro Sengoku, a loser who was addicted to alcohol and could not extricate himself, Suzuki Ren was extremely shocked.Even Mitaka Jin, who originally seemed normal to Ren Suzuki, finally exposed his "different" side at this moment.

It was obviously the first day that he and Shiina Mashiro had moved here, but several people present showed them a show of loss of moral integrity that was almost at the lowest level without hesitation.Should we say that people really don’t regard themselves as outsiders, or that they don’t regard themselves as outsiders a little too much?

Among the hell pictures of this group of demons dancing around, the only thing that made Ren Suzuki feel lucky was that Mashiro Shiina behaved very quietly and normally throughout the meal.

Is it because she has been fed by Misaki Kamikusa?Or is it because she really likes sukiyaki pot?

Ren Suzuki didn't know.

All he knew was that in this raucous hotpot party, he was the only one with common sense in this epic show of stupidity.

"Well... if you think about it on the bright side, this kind of environment can really help people integrate into it as quickly as possible."

Although everyone's behavior was very "deviant", there was no doubt about the enthusiasm and friendliness they showed at the dinner table.

"...Compared with Goto's start, this one is really quite vigorous."

Recalling her peaceful and calm campus life at Xiuhua High School, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but start to feel a little nostalgic.

But no matter what, now that I have started my second strategy, I still have to seriously think about how to get closer to this talented painter...

……

By the way, the distance between the two of them is actually very close now, right? !

Whether it was the way she asked her about everything in advance when she returned to Sakurasou, or the way she chose to sit next to him without hesitation before the hot pot party started... No matter how you look at it, she has shown herself There is enough trust.
