Can't you just leave me alone?

When passing by Class A, she pretended to look inside casually, and found that Yuanjing's seat was empty as expected.

Did he not come to school today?Or just not in the classroom?

With such doubts in mind, Touma and Sa stopped quietly at the window in front of Class A, as if they were going to wait there until the next class.

Of course, she didn't wait for Yuanjing.

But she waited until Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who went to class A with the teaching aids, noticed Touma Kazusa wandering around Class A.Although Touma Hesa ​​doesn't know her very well, she is quite familiar with Touma Hesa.

As soon as he saw the other party's expression and movements, Hiratsuka Shizuo roughly understood the purpose of the other party's trip.

After lamenting in her heart that Yuanjing is such a natural seductress, she took the initiative to walk forward——

"This classmate, who are you looking for?"

Then, it became what it is now.

Touma Kazusa tried hard to recall her common sense, as well as the videos and books she had read, trying to find some inspiration from them.

Well, Yuanjing doesn't have a fever, he's just overtired, so there's no need to apply hot towels to cool off.Naturally, there is no need to measure the body temperature, so... what else should I do?

After thinking about it, she realized that she seemed to be able to peel an apple for Yuan Jing.

"That..." Just as she was about to ask, Yuan Jing suddenly made a "shh" gesture to her.While listening carefully to make sure that the voices of Yukinoshita Yukino and Fujiwara Chika gradually faded away, he quietly motioned for her to open a certain layer of the bedside table.

With some doubts, Touma Hesha stood up, opened the cabinet door, and found a small heat insulation box there, opened it, and found that it was densely packed with——

pudding.

Mango pudding, yogurt pudding, chocolate pudding, cheese pudding...

It was like a pudding variety exhibition.

Do you love pudding that much?

Touma and Sa discovered a side of Yuanjing that no one knew about.

"Why do you have to wait for them to leave before taking it out?" She lowered her voice and said.

"I'm a patient after all," Yuan Jing also said in a low voice, "Although I know that pudding is not harmful to me now, with Yukinoshita's personality, I probably won't let me eat such a cold thing."

"Fujiwara-san's personality is a bit like an old woman's. Although she will agree, she will probably talk about it for a while. I don't want to hear her nagging."

what about me?

I will help you silently, without even a single question?Touma Kazusa muttered in her heart while saying——

"What kind of pudding would you like?"

"I'm kind of craving mango pudding right now."

It can only be said that Yuanjing is too accurate in judging people.

......

Just when Touma Hesha handed the mango pudding to Yuan Jing, a certain machine in the bedroom suddenly lit up automatically, and a mechanical sound without any emotion slowly flowed out from it.

"Tomorrow is October 10, the temperature in the Tokyo area is expected to be 23 to 17 degrees Celsius, and some areas will reach..."

Dongma Hesha was taken aback, but Yuan Jing was not surprised.

"This is an AI speaker. I preset it to report to me tomorrow's weather conditions at this time of day." Yuanjing unscrewed the lid of the mango pudding, "Didn't Dong Ma use this kind of thing before?"

"...Anyway, I'm just an old antique who can only play the piano." Touma Kazusa seemed to have never used this thing, and was a little angry at first, but then asked curiously, " Besides reporting the weather at fixed points, what is the use of it?"

"It's quite useful, for example, 'Hey, Siri'" Yuan Jing shouted to the machine, "Any interesting news happened in the Tokyo area today?"

"In Minato-ku, Tokyo, a luxury car hit people at 10:36 this morning. The incident happened at..."

"Hey Siri. I want to listen to some quiet, soothing music."

The news information that was originally broadcast stopped immediately, and a soft piano sound came from it.

Touma Kazusa knows this piano piece, its name is "awaken the dawn", and she will naturally play this piece.

"Besides, it's my alarm clock, and it's the one that wakes me up every day." Yuan Jing broke off the plastic spoon that came with the pudding, "It's my electronic housekeeper, and I rely on it to complete the day's work. daily life."

"I can do this too." I don't know why, Touma and Sasha seemed to have some unnecessary resistance, "Call you to wake up or it's time to eat, tell you the weather and news, and play the piano Let me tell you... I can do this too." She stood beside the white machine, her slim figure was like Ye Tan, "If you could choose, who would you choose?"

"? Then needless to say? Of course it's an AI speaker."

"...I am no match for a machine."

Oops, Ye Tan withered.

"No, it should be said that I chose it because it is a machine."

"???"

"Because, if I get such thoughtful service from you every day, I have to give something in return. I don't like this." Yuan Jing stuffed the mango pudding into his mouth, the cool and sweet taste directly moistened his heart Spleen, "I don't like to take care of others, and I don't like to be taken care of by others. There are too many things to take into account in this kind of interaction between people."

"In that respect, the machine does a good job because it's completely mine and I can do whatever I want with it."

"Also, if you don't call to wake me up one morning, I'll probably call you in turn to see if you overslept or aren't feeling well." Yuan Jing shook his head, "Then Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"

...if only AI speakers hadn't been invented.

Touma Kazusa couldn't help but think so.

Chapter 39 The first official commission

The three girls didn't bother Yuanjing's house for too long.

The main purpose of their visit this time is to see how Yuanjing's condition is and whether they need their help.

Although according to Shizuka Hiratsuka, Yuan Jing's condition is not serious, "I only took a day off, what kind of serious illness can it be?" (Shizuka Hiratsuka's original words), but there are some things that cannot be relieved unless you see them with your own eyes. worthy.

After discovering that Yuan Jing was indeed simply overtired, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After preparing dinner for Yuan Jing and watching him eat it, the three of them left one after another.

By the way, when Yukinoshita Yukino walked into Yuanjing's bedroom with dinner, she once sniffed suspiciously. She seemed to smell a little sweet and sour smell, which smelled a bit like, um, mango?

But at that time, Touma Kazusa was quietly peeling an apple for Yuan Jing who was lying on the bed.She obviously hadn't done this kind of thing very much, not to mention the pitted apples, the peeled apples were peeled intermittently, and her blood pressure rose a little, and she quickly put the doubts behind her.

"There's no need to peel apples, let's eat first." Yukinoshita Yukino said, "There is a folding table over there that can be placed on the bed, can Touma-san bring it here?" Because both hands are holding the dinner plate Because of the reason, she can only use her pointed chin to indicate the direction slightly.

Touma Kazusa seemed to have this intention long ago, she carefully put her 'fruit of labor' into a bowl, and then placed it on Yuanjing's bedside.

She stood up, kicking her calves wrapped in black stockings inadvertently, as if she was stretching her slightly paralyzed legs.

By the way, I quietly kicked a small plastic box that was eaten by someone to a deeper dark place under the bed.

That's where no one else can see it.

"Okay, I'll come."

......

The next day.

Although the body is still a little uneasy, it has not affected his daily life.

After spending a lackluster morning, Yuan Jing took his lunch and walked to the exclusive lounge of the club building.

No, it should be called the "Lamb Club" now.

During the day when Yuanjing asked for leave, Shizuka Hiratsuka had already completed all the application procedures for the 'Lamb Club', and even finished listing the rooms in the main house.

Now, the original sign saying 'storage room' has been removed.Instead, there is a beautiful listing with the three big characters of "Lamb Society" printed on it.On this listing, there is also a cute Q-version lamb pattern printed, and in the lower right corner is written a line of words——

"Those who enter this door must give up all despair."

This is Shizuka Hiratsuka's handwriting.

Yuan Jing is quite familiar with her handwriting, because he spends several classes every day looking at her writing on the blackboard, not to mention the comments in the exercise book.

Sighing with mixed emotions, Yuanjing pushed the door and walked into the main room.

As usual, he is No.1.

But to his surprise, the second person who came in was neither Yukinoshita Yukino, nor Fujiwara Chika, nor Hiratsuka Shizuka.

It was a woman he didn't know.

Judging from her almost identical uniform to Shizuka Hiratsuka, the other party should be a teacher?

"Excuse me, is this the 'Lamb Society'?" She turned her head to confirm the sign on the door, and then asked Yuan Jing in the room.

'Oh. ’ Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows, thinking, ‘Is there work so soon? '

"Yes." He nodded.

When he saw the young female teacher opening her mouth as if to say something, he said, "But our members are still here, I hope you can wait a moment." His ears moved slightly, and then he changed his words , "No, there is no need to wait, they are already here."

"Hey, Teacher Mio, why are you here?" Yukinoshita Yukino came lightly with a bento, and behind her, Chika Fujiwara also looked at the classroom curiously.

It seems that among the three, only Yukinoshita Yukino has dealt with her.

......

"This is Miss Misubina. I got the information from her when I was investigating the reason why Touma and Sa-san stopped playing the piano."

Putting all the bento aside for now, the three members of the Lamb Club sat face to face with the young female teacher.Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been in contact with her before, briefly introduced each other's identities to her two members.

Yuan Jing was a little surprised in his heart.According to Yukinoshita Yukino's original description, he thought that the other party was a bold and chivalrous elder sister like Hiratsuka Shizuka, but he didn't expect that the other party actually looked like a gentle and quiet lady.

This is also to some extent a person who cannot be judged by his appearance.

"Ah, speaking of which, I also want to thank you all." Mio-sensei is quite young, she looks like she just graduated from university, she nodded to the three of them, "It will bring Touma Kazusa back to the string club , It really settled my worries. However," the young teacher sighed, "this time I may trouble you again."

She took out a white envelope from her pocket and put it on the table in front of her. "Accordingly, you students shouldn't know about this kind of thing," Teacher Mio said hesitantly, "But Mr. Shizuka Hiratsuka strongly recommended you to me, and you helped me so much before. Of course, the most important thing is that I really can't think of any other way."

She sighed slightly, showing a self-deprecating smile, "I am really an incompetent teacher when I need to ask students for help."

She handed the envelope towards Yukinoshita Yukino, motioning for her to open it.

Inside was a stack of banknotes.

They are all in the denomination of 1 yuan.Yukinoshita Yukino counted, the number was not too many, exactly thirty.

That is to say, there is a full 30 yuan in banknotes in the envelope. If it is converted into Yuanjing's previous Huaguo currency, it would be more than 1 yuan.

For students from other schools, 30 yen is already a huge amount of money.But this is St. Eden Academy, and the three people here are all masters who are not short of money.Therefore, although there was some consternation, no one showed a hint of greed.

"Whose money is this?" Yukinoshita Yukino put the money back into the envelope and asked Teacher Mio.

The latter showed a wry smile, sighed, and said, "This should be the activity fund of a certain club, but the problem is—"

"I can't figure out which club I'm in charge of is the activity fund for this."

"I hope everyone from the Lamb Club can help me solve this problem and find the owner of the 30 yen."

Chapter 40 Fragmented Classical Music Department

"Ms. Mio," Yukinoshita Yukino tapped the table with her right index finger regularly, she frowned, and asked with some doubts, "I remember that the school rules of St. A teacher can only serve as a consultant teacher for one club?"

Teacher Mio said that if she asked the Lamb Society to help her figure out which club she was in charge of, it would show that she was definitely not just a consultant for a club. Conflict.

"Oh, it's true that there was such a regulation." Teacher Mio nodded, "But to be precise, I can be said to be a consultant for a club, and that is [Classical Music Department]."

"Ah," exclaimed Chika Fujiwara, who was listening quietly from the side. She was the only one among the three who entered St. Eden Academy by direct ascent, so she knew a lot about the history and gossip of this academy. To elaborate, "I know this club, it was the pride of St. Eden Academy before, I remember it seems to have won awards in international competitions. But I remember that the classical music department seems to have..." Her voice Gradually lowered down, because she saw a painful expression on Mio-sensei's face.

"That's right, the Classical Music Department was disbanded two years ago." Teacher Mio's voice was a little hoarse, "Because of the emotional disputes among the leaders, the Classical Music Department has been divided into three parts, becoming [Strings Department], [ Wind Music Department] and [Chorus Department]. These are also the three clubs I am in charge of.”

After a moment of silence, Yukinoshita Yukino said, "So, the entrustment is to confirm whether the money belongs to [String Section], [Wind Section] or [Chorus Section]?"

Teacher Mio nodded.

"Then I want to ask, teacher, where did you find the money?"

"It's in the drawer of the music reference room." Teacher Mio replied, "After being divided into three clubs, although they all have their own new activity rooms, the music reference room is shared by the three clubs. "

"The Classical Music Department may be the oldest society in St. Eden Academy, and the various music materials it has accumulated are quite amazing. Among them are the handwritten authentic works of famous musicians and the notes they left when they were studying here, etc. , The value of these things is immeasurable. It is even more impossible to divide them into three equally."

"Therefore, although the association has been divided into three, this reference room is open to all three associations."

"That is to say, any club is possible?" Yukinoshita Yukino squeezed the center of her brows with some confusion, "Well, according to your observation, teacher, which club's president has behaved abnormally recently, and he looks like a loser? How about a lot of money?"

"I can't tell." Teacher Mio smiled wryly and shook her head, "In fact, the three presidents have always been like 'Where did my money go'?"

"In fact, the cost of playing music is very high, especially playing classical musical instruments. It costs money to rent a venue for performances, repair damaged musical instruments, and hire people to reorganize scores. Invite famous conductors to come and guide It takes a lot of money.”
