Chapter 24 transition, the countdown to the finale begins

Jingling jingle jingle jingle jingle—!

Kacha-!

Wait, why is there something wrong with the sound of the alarm clock being turned off this morning?

"Kacha" or something, isn't it much softer than "Bang Ka"?

Could it be that an alarm clock finally escaped the fate of shattering under the clutches of the pink-haired demon king?

Don't worry, let's slowly restore the situation in this room.

Speaking of which, I haven't introduced Tatsuya-kun's room yet.

Intuitively, Tatsuya Kamome's room doesn't match that of an adolescent boy at all.

In the general impression, the dirty, messy, and poor quality of boys' rooms can't be found in him.

There is no decoration in the room, except for the thick documents on the computer desk, there are no unnecessary items at all.

Concise, this adjective can perfectly summarize the situation of his room.

Even the quilt was neatly folded and placed on the head of his bed.

Well, the last description about the quilt only appeared because he didn't sleep in the bed at all last night.

He was standing in front of the bedside table now, gently pressing off the noisy alarm clock.

——Mr. Alarm Clock, lucky you, my mood wasn’t that bad this morning, so I won’t smash you into pieces.

In fact, it is not accurate to use the word "gently" to describe his action of turning off the alarm clock.

This "gentle" is a comparative description that can only be drawn compared to the treatment of alarm clocks in the past.

The truth is, he slapped the alarm clock, causing its electronic display to flash.

——Ha, this morning, there is no daily routine.

Stretching greatly, he unconsciously started the "Second Set of National Radio Gymnastics for Middle School Students".

well?What does it seem to have exposed?

ignore ignore.

In short, he was in a really good mood this morning, because he didn't see Youyou going to the Opera House all night last night.

With good expectations, he wanted to make himself think that Youyou had given up looking for the witch.

——Although she didn't go to the opera house, there are other possible reasons.

——But if Youmei gave up, wouldn't the incident come to an end?

Temporarily throwing out other possibilities that would make things worse, he habitually walked to the door of the next room.

Knock, knock, the door was knocked by him.

Of course, no one will answer the door today.

The sisters are all traveling, he confirmed this

Reality.

So he leaned against the door and turned on his cell phone.

"Brother, sister and Homura climbed a mountain overnight, and now they are watching the sunrise, it's so beautiful~"

"That's right, we picked up a lot of wild mushrooms on the road, let's make wild vegetable pot for you to eat~"

"Did Xiao Da sleep well? You can't stay up all night until morning and just read my sister's information~"

Unlike Homura, his older sister contacted him through a social platform app.

So below the chat window, there are several pictures of the sunrise, as well as a selfie of her and Homura.

The moment the sun climbs out of the green mountain is indeed beautiful.

But it is not as beautiful as the smiles of the two women under the sun.

Madoka's smile was as gentle as ever, while Homura's smile was rare and shy.

Even if the feeling of the smile is different, the connotation is the quiet happiness.

humming--!

Tatsuya was responding to his sister's message when his phone vibrated.

This time it was a text message.

"The group photos sent by your sister, don't look at them, delete them immediately!"

At the sender's place, it shows Yan.

"How can such a good photo be deleted? I not only saved it, but also made a backup copy on the network disk."

"What?! There's nothing to save this kind of photo, delete it for me!"

"Sister Yan's shy smile, of course, must be preserved as a family heirloom~"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! I said no to watch! Hurry up and forget about it!"

"Haha~ It's late, but my memory is still pretty good~"

While replying to her sister's message, she made fun of Homura who was in a hurry.

Tatsuya also felt that this morning, he still enjoyed the warmth of everyday life.

He put away his phone with a satisfied face, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

---

The change of scenes can always drive the mood to change.

In his own home, he can rest in the warmth even if the sisters who healed him are not at home.

Dad's breakfast was as delicious as ever, and my mother's teasing topics were as tricky as ever.

When he left the house and came to the classroom, the reality forced him to rethink the status quo.

——It is necessary to confirm whether Youmei gave up or did not go to the Opera House for other reasons.

With this in mind, he didn't lie down on the table to sleep in the first place.

Instead, he chatted casually with Yixia next door, and wanted to chat with Youyou after she entered the classroom.

——Even if you deliberately think in a good direction, you still have to be mentally prepared for those bad possibilities.

Taking advantage of the gap before Youmei's arrival, he began to speculate on Youmei's psychological state.

In addition to the reason that she gave up her dream completely and did not go to the commercial street, she might have been delayed by something.

For example, her parents found out that she was going out late at night, and she was locked up; for example, her physical condition did not improve, and she went to the hospital at night; for example, she found other ways to realize her dream, instead of looking for a witch...

The last example is undoubtedly the worst case.

When Tatsuya thought of this, his good mood in the morning was gone again.

——If this is the last possibility, I can't even use stupid methods.

Sometimes, people who think too much will indeed ask for trouble.

Obviously he can confirm the situation as long as you wait until Youmei comes to class, but he insists on thinking about all kinds of possibilities to scare himself.

This is probably also the sequelae of the endless reincarnation that he experienced when he was three years old.

He swung the pot like this.

He can't do anything, so he can only rely on thinking about various situations to pass the time.

This brought him the "cause, process, result" problem-solving method, and also made him develop the habit of thinking too much.

——I really don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse.

If you recognize the shortcomings, you should correct them; if you think too much, you should think less.

He threw those guesses out of his mind again, simply hoping that things would develop in the best direction.

In this way, I can keep myself in a good mood, so that I won't faint due to excessive pressure while waiting for Youyou to come to class.

——Relax, relax, according to probability, the worst case is only a quarter of the possibility.

Minutes passed by.

The classroom, where only the voices of him and Yixia were chatting, gradually became lively.

Students seize the last time before class and fully enjoy their youth.

All kinds of human voices filled the classroom, turning it into a sea of ​​joy.

The joyful sea water is oppressive and almost suffocating.

Ding dong ding dong - ding dong ding dong - ding dong ding dong - ding dong ding dong -

The school bell rings.

He never waited for the figure he wanted to see.

Chapter 25 Broken Wires

"Squad leader, please come out with me!"

"Wait! What are you doing, Tatsuya? Class is already in session!"

"Sorry, Saotome-sensei! I have something to do with the monitor and I have to miss the morning meeting!"

"Huh? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"

A very bad feeling hung over Tatsuya.

The fact that Youmei didn't come to class already highlighted the urgency of the matter in his opinion.

So without saying a word, he left his seat while pressing the bell, pulled the class monitor and rushed past the head teacher, leaving behind a series of confusing words, and led the class monitor to the stairwell.

During class time, only students who are late will pass through the stairwell. This is undoubtedly a good place to ask questions.

"Squad leader! Do you know why Youyou didn't come to class?"

"What! You dragged me here just to ask this?"

"I'll explain my reasons later! Monitor, do you know why Youyou didn't come to class?"

Repeating the same question twice in a row, Tatsuya conveyed his urgency to the monitor well.

Affected by his emotions, the squad leader became inexplicably anxious. After thinking about it, she told what she knew.

"She should take leave to recuperate at home. When I texted and chatted with her in the morning, she said that she was still not feeling well."

"That means you're not sure, right? Wait for me here!"

After listening to the class monitor's answer, Tatsuya left another nonsensical sentence and rushed back to the classroom.

He opened the classroom door with a bang, and got the attention of the whole class.

Before the head teacher could respond, he asked the question first.

"Ms. Saotome, do you know why Yumi didn't come to class?"

The question was repeated a third time, with such urgency that the teacher forgot about his rudeness.

"As for Kurihara-san, she took leave of absence to recuperate at home."

The older only-child young woman who didn't understand the situation, nodded her lips and gave a definite answer.

"Oops!"

The confirmed answer failed to appease Tatsuya's emotions, and he ran again, out of the sight of the whole class.

"Tatsuya, what happened?"

Yixia received a message on his phone, and before he even had time to reply, he rushed to the squad leader.
