Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

"That's true...Oh, I really didn't expect that we two high school students would talk about such a topic."

Looking at the mottled light and shadow coming from the gaps between the peaks and looking around this quiet and old town, the teenagers couldn't help but shake their heads, with a lot of thoughts in their hearts.

After a while, Tsukawa Yucai said this with deep emotion:

"So, I really miss 250000 years ago. At that time, we were carefree, with gamma rays in our eyes, wandering around the world, with our hearts as high as the sky, and claiming that love was more important than anything else. Why should we care about these weird things? Something?"

"?"

Mochizuki's expression changed slightly:

"...So I've been talking to you so much, and you tell me that you miss prehistoric civilization?"

"What if I don't? I really miss that time when there was no need to buy a house, no gifts, no work, no so much pressure, no worries, simple friendships and a free life, except that it was easy to be trampled to death by mammoths and snatched away by tigers. , no problem."

"That's true... Governor Cao once said that people can't eat too much. If you don't eat enough, you will only have one worry: being hungry. After you eat enough, many worries will follow."

Mochizuki nodded and agreed with Fa Xiao's theory:

"Now I understand why you are nostalgic for that era. Don't worry. I will call you a large truck to take you back to 2500000 million years ago. Remember to hunt well when you return to prehistoric times. The days will become sweeter and sweeter."

"?"

After a while, the two teenagers arrived near the art exhibition.

"Ah...here he comes."

Wearing a sky blue jacket, sports shorts, and long-lasting bubble socks and pulleys, Kasumi Takegami, who seemed to have just arrived, gently waved to the two of them:

"Haha, Mochizuki-san...you brought Tsugawa-san here."

"Hello, Takegami-san."

After parking the bicycle, Yu Tsugawa nodded to President Takegami:

"You didn't wait too long, did you? It's all because of the puncture on my bike. It took a little time to repair the bike. I'm really sorry."

"........"

Mochizuki, who really had a flat tire, just hung his head with a rather embarrassed expression.

Fortunately, Takegami Kasumi didn't hear anything and just nodded blankly:

"I see... you're not injured, are you?"

"I'm not injured. After all, I'm not going to hit thirty miles and run around in the air."

"Cough cough......"

Secretly pinching his good brother and making the football forward kneel down to beg for mercy, Mochizuki said with some embarrassment:

"Um...Teacher Takegami, now that everyone is here, let's go into the exhibition and have a look--"

"Um...well, there was a little accident."

It was beyond Mochizuki's expectation.

Takegami Kasumi touched the back of her head in embarrassment, and her clear amber eyes seemed to dodge:

"Well... when I came here, I half-consciously remembered that I had remembered the time wrong. It seems that the art exhibition will not open for a while - so we still have to wait for an hour or two. Come inside."

".......Eh?"

Mochizuki became a little confused:

"Did you come early? This is not good."

"........"

Tsugawa Yu, who has a very sensitive sense of smell, felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere——

Such a familiar routine... Could it be that President Takegami deliberately said the wrong time to create a space between the two of them and use it as an excuse to go shopping with Ah Li to enhance their relationship?

It's such a simple tactic, but if used against a guy like Ah Li, it might be more effective than anyone else... Humph, as expected, no matter how innocent a little otaku is, she will still play some tricks in love.

It was at the moment when Tsugawa Yuu's thoughts were clear and he was about to leave with an excuse to lay down an assist for his good brother, that he heard such shocking news from Takegami Kasumi:

"Well... although it's a bit awkward to come to the art exhibition early, let's take advantage of this time to listen to music, right?"

".......Um?"

When they heard these words, Tsugawa Yu and Mochizuki both fell into confusion.

Jinchuan Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his words were also curious:

"Um...what kind of music are you listening to?"

"Yesterday, I saw on social media that there was a street singer nearby who was a junior high school student playing and singing Mr. Slothfish's songs. If we are interested, we can go and have a look——"

Kasumi Takegami held her chin and said quite clearly:

"I saw that the art exhibition wouldn't open for a while, so I called Saki-chan and invited her to come and see it together... How about it? Mochizuki, Tsugawa-san, let's go see it together?"

38. Social Fear of Doomsday 3/5

"Eh?"

After hearing what Kasumi Takegami said, Mochizuki's expression also showed some disbelief.

"...Are there people covering Mr. Sloth Fish's songs on the street around here?"

"Yes...and the girl who performs on the street said that she only covers Mr. Slothfish's songs."

Kasumi Takegami relaxed her muscles and bones, and her voice was still as bright as ever:

"It seems that Mr. Slothfish's popularity is getting higher and higher. There are even people singing his songs offline in our town... Hey, Mochizuki-san, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing..."

It has to be said that after hearing the sudden information given by Takegami Kasumi, the boy's mood was like a roller coaster.

As if he didn't expect that he would be dragged by his teacher to listen to street performers covering songs he had copied when he was supposed to be relaxing. The boy who was already socially fearful to a certain level even became a little unsteady——

And it is at this very moment.

"Ahem...haha, he may be a little anemic, I'll do it, I'll do it~"

It was obvious at a glance that Mochizuki's expression of ultimate social fear was about to be decomposed into factors. Tsugawa Yu, who had always been by his side, also gently supported Hao Xiao's subconsciously weak body at this moment, and smoothed things over in a serious manner:

"Okay, okay... Do you want a drink of water? Take a rest, cheer up, and go home to reward you with two episodes of Tyrannosaurus Warrior."

"...Do you think I'm a primary school student?"

After complaining and pushing away Tsugawa Yu's hand that was supporting him, Mochizuki rearranged his expression, pulled his collar, and tried to regain his calmness in his voice:

"Okay... I'm fine. I'm just listening to music. What's the big deal?"

"Yeah, it's such a big deal~"

Kasumi Takegami's eyebrows narrowed slightly, and although her voice sounded the same at first glance, it seemed to have some meaningful meaning:

"That street performer is very good. It is said that she is a die-hard fan of Mr. Sloth Fish. Today she not only sings popular songs, but also sings the first few songs of Sloth Fish that were not very popular and were deleted as black history. ..... Hey, Mochizuki-san, you seem to be a little weak in your legs?"

"...Ahem, no, it's nothing."

Once again, Mochizuki's defense was accurately broken, and his pupils trembled unconsciously.

How could such a thing happen... Even if it's just a cover of a hit song by Unravel and others, he would even cover his own past black-historical literary works?

I remember that my original poor song, which was slightly off-key when I sang, and whose soundtrack relied solely on the three-legged cat kung fu guitar, was to be covered by die-hard fans and executed in public... For a moment, I felt so ashamed. The full boy really wanted to hit a wall and die——

And it was at the moment when Mochizuki could hardly hold himself any longer.

The voice of the biker’s son slowly sounded:

"Tsk...you kid, since you have a headache, drink more water."

Facing Fa Xiao's increasingly hellish expression, Yu Tsugawa skillfully but slightly nervously handed Mochizuki the mineral water to cover for him:

"Hmm! Drink more and take it easy... I'm sorry, Takegami-san, this guy seems to have had a fever recently. He even had hallucinations when he came here, feeling like he was back in prehistory. Times, walking upright in Zhoukou, Beijing——"

"roll......."

Mochizuki, who rarely spoke Tibetan, took a big gulp of the mineral water handed to him by his friend, and then sat weakly on the seat next to him:

"Teacher Takegami, please don't listen to this nonsense... Wait for me to calm down, my head seems to be a little uncomfortable recently."

"Really......."

Although Mochizuki had tried very hard to control his emotions, Xiao Chengzi, who was staying next to the boy, still vaguely noticed a strange feeling.

"...Mochizuki-kun, are you really okay?"

"It's really okay."

Mochizuki's expression remained unchanged, but unfortunately his body still showed some faint trembling - but in order to appear more normal, Mochizuki patted his seat gently:

"Teacher Takegami, please sit down."

"I won't sit down anymore...I'm not tired either."

Seeing his student showing such a complicated expression, Takegami Kasumi was somewhat speechless——

She lifted up her fluffy hair, and her soft, nasal voice sounded:

"Really... Why do you look like Xiao Saki? I called her earlier and told her that there were street performers singing Sloth Fish teacher's music here recently, and there were many people watching. Her My reaction is just as nervous as yours - well, that’s really worrying~"

That's it.

There was a faint light between the girl's brows and eyes:

"Although it may be rude to ask this...but you two have nothing to hide from me, right?"

".......No."

"Are you sure? Mochizuki-san?"

Kasumi Takegami's usually lazy dog ​​eyes suddenly became sharp, as if a primary school teacher was asking a primary school boy:

"Is there really nothing?"

"Really nothing."

Mochizuki, who was afraid of society and didn't want to expose his identity and attract everyone's attention, responded seriously.

.......This is a lie.

Seeing Mochizuki's rather clear response, Takegami Kasumi couldn't help but frown slightly.

However, this expression disappeared in the blink of an eye——

"All right."

Takegami Kasumi's slender fingers touched her lips.

"In that case, I won't interfere too much -"

Kasumi Takegami, who looked dull on the surface, seemed to have realized something and said nothing.

At times like this, just smiling is enough:

"Then...after the break, let's pick up Saki-chan together, and then watch the street performance together, Mochizuki-san?"

".......no problem."

When he thought about his partner Saki Kurihara being invited by Kasumi Takegami to be publicly executed with him... At this moment, Mochizuki turned pale, like a programmer who had been dead for three days.

Although on the surface he was as stable as an old dog, Mochizuki's legs actually no longer had the strength to support him standing upright——

Perhaps feeling that he was about to ascend to immortality, the young man quickly turned his head and sent a code to his little friend:

"Hey, Teacher Dayou, follow me quickly."

"okay."

Seeing through the situation at a glance, Tsugawa Yuu used his shoulder-to-shoulder movement to barely stabilize his legs, which were weak due to social fear and tension rising at the speed of light. He walked step by step towards the street performer pointed by Takegami Kasumi. direction forward.

I have to say that when the plot progresses to this point, the atmosphere between the three people is also quite subtle.

Even Yu Tsugawa, who had always thought that he could facilitate the relationship between Takegami and Mochizuki as long as he played support, could not help but feel chills running down his spine.

A large amount of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Yu Tsukawa, who knew the true identity of the Slothfish account, couldn't help but feel angry inside.

Sure enough, the day has come...Offline fans are performing Slothfish's past works in the street. Mochizuki Ri's Kurihara Saki, who is already afraid of society, is invited to watch the world-famous paintings live, and the performance is about to begin. ?

Damn...this is all a devilish plot.
