The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

The girl looked around and was about to speak, but noticed that a figure finally appeared in the always empty seat.

"Oh~~ You must be the Shinomiya President! Has Kaguya-san's brother finally appeared~!" The girl, whose eyes suddenly lit up, rushed over quickly and leaned over to carefully observe An. wild goose.

"...What's going on?" In order to avoid being hit, An Yan, who subconsciously leaned back to evade, looked at Kaguya beside him, who was sorting out documents with a helpless expression.

After silently putting down the document, Kaguya said: "This is the friend I often mention to you, Fujiwara Chika. She has always been a little concerned about my brother...brother."

"Oh, I see?"

"That's right~ Ah, you really should introduce yourself at this time, right?" Qianhua smiled and stretched out her hand to him, making him subconsciously hold it and show a gentle smile, preparing to introduce himself, but... ...

Just when he held his hand and wanted to speak, he inexplicably felt that the palm of the girl opposite him, which was supposed to be soft, was a little twitchy for some reason, and there was also a strange squirming feeling.

Just when an ominous premonition appeared in his heart and the smile on his face began to solidify, Qianhua's other hand had already patted the back of his hand, and she held his hand with both hands, shaking her face with a smile on her face. He even continued with his eyes shining:

"I have long heard that Kaguya said that President Shinomiya is an all-round super genius like Kaguya! His hobby is to become an actor and a doctor, so in addition to studying every day, he also goes to the hospital to accompany experts for consultations, so You’ve never had time to join the student union, right?”

"Uh, well, she's right." What kind of settings did Kaguya give me?By the way, what is this guy holding?Why do you feel like you're pressed into a ball? !Could it be bugs... No, no, no, it's impossible, it's impossible. How could a female high school student catch bugs with her bare hands? ? ——Unconsciously staring at the held right hand, with goosebumps all over his body, he tried hard to suppress the urge to throw away his hand, and introduced himself with a forced smile:

"This is our first meeting, Fujiwara-san. My name is Shinomiya Anyan. Kaguya often mentions you in front of me. Today, it's really better to be famous than to meet, and to be famous is worse than to meet."

"Oh~ Onii-sama too! You are worthy of being the student council president who has held the No. [-] spot in Shuchiin since entering the school!"

"This is what I, as the student council president, should do."

Facing the girl with burning eyes, he tried his best to maintain a polite smile, but... when he thought about the things in his hands, his expression gradually became a little stiff, and finally he couldn't help but said with an almost broken smile:

"Now, compared to these things, Fujiwara-kun...Did you accidentally forget something in your hand when you were shaking hands? Can you let go of my hand now?"

"Ah! I was so happy to finally see the president that I forgot about it! I just wanted to ask Taro to go back to the forest in the student council room!"

Upon being reminded by him, Fujiwara Chika suddenly opened her mouth as if something bad had happened.

"Taro...what?" An Yan turned his head stiffly and looked at Kaguya, who was not far away with a strange expression.

"Taro is a vague term for a restaurant, to be precise..." Kaguya, who couldn't bear to look at the two of them and couldn't separate her hands until now, covered her mouth and turned away silently, trying to think of a suitable line: "....Insects of the order Blattidae and family Blattidae."

"Cockroach? Cockroach? Uh...could it be..." Cockroach?An Yan didn't want to say this word.

Kaguya nodded silently: "...Is it what you said? Fujiwara-san would occasionally catch it with his bare hands and then release it."

"—?!"

An Yan, who felt his scalp numb, didn't want to say anything anymore, quickly broke away from Fujiwara Chika's hand that hadn't let go until now, and rushed out of the door and rushed to the toilet in the corridor.

......................

After washing hands and disinfecting many times, An Yan returned to the student union room feeling exhausted.

"I'm sorry~! I'm really sorry! I suddenly saw President Shinomiya, and I forgot about it when I got excited~~! I really didn't mean it!" Qianhua, who had been apologizing all the way, still apologized with her hands clasped together.

"It's okay, Fujiwara-san. This is also a sign of your kindness. I'm sure my brother won't mind." Good job!Fujiwara!You are indeed my best friend~!He never plays by the rules and teaches this guy a profound lesson as soon as he meets him~!It's really great! ——Kaguya said this, but when he looked at An Yan, he showed a gloating smile: "Right~ Brother?"

"Yes, yes, raise your head. Such accidents happen to normal people, so don't take it too seriously."

No, it’s completely impossible not to care!What about catching cockroaches with bare hands and releasing them?Is this really something a human being would do?This cockroach woman! ——An Yan wanted to curse in his heart, but on the surface he still smiled and forgave Qianhua gently.

"But I..."

"It's okay, really don't worry about it, let's forget this unpleasant thing together, right?"

"Yes...thank you~!" Qianhua nodded repeatedly in emotion, and then couldn't help but ask: "But president, can you tell me, how do you manage to ask for leave frequently, but still get full marks in every exam? ? He is indeed a genius?"

"How could it be? In fact, I have already completed my high school courses, so there is no need to stay at school every day. The purpose of asking for leave is to go back and study things that cannot be learned in class."

"As expected of the president - so awesome!"

Unexpectedly, Qianhua had no doubts about An Yan's words, with admiration written all over her face.

However, she didn't know that Kaguya behind her was covering her face. She really couldn't bear to look at An Yan who was obviously cheating and how dared to brag like this?

However, the cold gaze from between his fingers was directed towards An Yan, warning him silently: That's enough. If you go too far, I won't help you clean up the mess.

An Yan didn't pay attention to her warning. At the same time, it could be seen from Qianhua's attitude that Kaguya probably said a lot of good things about herself to others, so she immediately waved her hand with humility in mind: "It's nothing, it's just the most important thing as the student council president." Basic self-requirements.”

"Then, then...can you teach me how to learn?"

"Of course no problem."

--boom!He agreed without thinking, causing Kaguya, who was worried about how to help him refuse and avoid exposing his true level, to bang her head on the table in a moment of dizziness.

Chapter 24 The character created by Kaguya Gebuki

"What, what's wrong? Kaguya-san?" The sudden impact made Qianhua look back subconsciously, and saw her lying on the table like a corpse, and quickly ran over: "Are you okay? Doesn't it hurt? Is your head okay?!"

"...No, it's okay...Compared to this..." Kaguya, who always felt like she was being scolded, covered her red forehead and looked at the calm An Yan with a resentful expression. He asked in a low tone: "Brother, you are so busy on weekdays and have so many things to learn, do you really have time to guide Qianhua?"

"This...it's true." Facing Kaguya's stern gaze, he deliberately showed an embarrassed expression, but still shook his head and insisted: "Since I am Kaguya's friend, even if I don't have time, I will definitely squeeze out the time. Time."

"President..." When Qianhua heard what he said, she was immediately moved and guilty. She shook her head and said, "Sure enough, forget it. It would be bad if it delays your brother's studies."

"Really don't care. If it's delayed like this, it only shows that my abilities are limited."

"How could it be! Classmate An Yan is already good enough! Why don't you take more rest if you have time?" His words made Qianhua not doubt his ability at all, and she waved her hand politely to reject his kindness.

Kaguya was also in the blind spot where Qianhua couldn't see, staring at him with dark eyes that had lost their light, and warned him again not to do anything strange.

This made him helpless, and he nodded regretfully: "Well, since you said so, I won't force it... It is true that after tutoring Kaguya yesterday, I studied a little too late, and now I am a little sleepy."

"Classmate An Yan is so busy, do you still need to tutor Kaguya?"

"Huiye is very smart. All he needs is simple guidance. In the final analysis, I am too slow to learn until dawn, which makes the tutors stay up late and work overtime." An Yan sighed with a look of self-blame, looking at Huiye. The night was stunned.

Did this guy go to bed earlier than me last night?And....counse me? ?Are you serious? ——Remembering last night, when she went to his room to have a good talk with him, and when he wanted him to go to the student union, he was lying on the bed in an imageless sleeping position. Kaguya couldn't stop twitching at the corners of his eyes and couldn't figure it out at all. How naturally he talks nonsense... Is it really the influence of his ex-girlfriend?

But Qianhua, who didn't know why, was full of admiration: "Even so, do you still insist on coming to the student union?"

"There is no way. I have been the president for so long, so I should at least do my part in the student union."

"But the body is more important! Classmate An Yan should pay more attention to the body! Go back and rest quickly, it's enough for us here!" Just as An Yan planned, Qianhua patted her chest and hugged her. Urging him to go back and rest.

Also, if normal people heard what he said, how many would be able to prevent him from leaving?Although he personally felt that Qianhua was abnormal.

At this time, Kaguya also realized why he was saying these nonsense, and quickly stood up to dissuade him:

"Indeed, it is true, brother, I studied very late last night! It was very hard! But the work of the student union is also very important, and as the president of the student union, it is really unreasonable to not come to the student union for so long!"

"There is no need to emphasize the study last night, Kaguya." He stood up and walked to Kaguya, caressed her black hair, and said softly: "I know you are also worried that I work too hard. You promise, I will take a good rest today and start participating in student union work as much as possible tomorrow."

"No...so..." Kaguya wanted to say something else, but Qianhua helped him continue: "Yes~! An Yan, please go back quickly! Leave the student union affairs to us. OK~!"

"Ah... I'm really sorry. I'm obviously the president but I leave the work to you. Alas... I'm such an incompetent president and an incompetent brother..."

He apologized guiltily and blamed himself, taking frivolous steps, leaving the student council room as Kaguya watched helplessly.

It was also at the moment when the door of the student union room was closed that the guilt on his face disappeared, and turned into an uncontrollable smile. He no longer looked weak and tired as before, and disappeared into the long and narrow corridor with quick steps.

Inside the Student Union.

Shinomiya Kaguya has begun to regret now. Why did she tell An Yan to be so perfect for the sake of her family's reputation... Didn't this cause her friends to be fooled directly? What did they think he was? A brother who is hard-working, gentle, and smart?

.... By the way, what’s going on with this perfect character?A teenage girl’s fantasy of Prince Charming?Why do I say this? ——The previous scenes made Kaguya start to doubt life with her hands on her head. She didn’t know how to wipe An Yan’s butt next, because she knew that An Yan’s character could not last long.

Although she really didn't want to help An Yan deal with the aftermath, she really couldn't help but sit idly by, even though her thoughts were too leaping and unconventional, which she couldn't bear.

Qianhua didn't think much about it. She just looked at the door of the student union room and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. His gentleness when treating others was so refreshing. At the same time, she was even more surprised that the brother Kaguya had always praised was even better than what she described. A lot.

However...just as both of them were immersed in the atmosphere when An Yan disappeared...not long after, the door to the student union room opened again.

"An Yantong - what, Shi Shang, don't come today."

Qianhua, who smiled when she heard the voice, suddenly lost expression on her face after seeing the person clearly, and even waved her hands as if to drive away some animal.

His front hair was so long that it covered his left eye, and he had a big headset hanging around his neck. He was a rather gloomy young man. Facing the sudden attack on the door, Ishigami Yu looked confused, but he was also surprised and didn't care. He turned around and looked down. Kaguya, who lowered his head, asked: "....What happened to Fujiwara-senpai today? Why is it more extreme than usual?"

"....You came at the wrong time."

"Speaking of which, I seemed to have seen the back of Senior An Yan just now? Has he been here? It's really rare that such a busy person actually comes to the student union in person."

"...Well, well...just for now?"

Kaguya, who unconsciously felt ashamed for An Yan, covered her face and didn't know how to answer.

In fact, Yu Ishigami's impression of An Yan was completely wrong. Ishigami, who had an unspeakable past, finally solved his knot and joined the student union with the help of the student union.

Among them, An Yan's contribution was just to communicate with the principal for a while, and then took people to Ishigami Yu's home. After watching them drag Ishigami Yu out of the room, he managed to disappear without a trace in a few words.

But in the follow-up, Kaguya said that she was busy because she still cared about her juniors and came here specially, and then left due to urgent matters.

"I always feel that more than half of the current situation is caused by me? Am I actually an accomplice?"

Recalling that she unknowingly became his accomplice, Kaguya turned pale and began to reflect on her past actions, and wondered how to catch Anyan as soon as possible next time.

And it didn't take long for her to receive an email that An Yan wouldn't come back for dinner. She immediately understood that he must have gone to Shimokitazawa, which took four hours to walk back and forth, to find his "ex-girlfriend".

Chapter 25 No matter how difficult it is, you can’t cheat money.

After leaving the student union room, An Yan jumped over the wall and fled the school, not even planning to attend the afternoon classes.

Since he would be caught when he returned home, he simply didn't want to go back to the Fourth Palace Villa, so he was going to look for Irena, who had been unable to contact him during this period.

In addition to wanting to learn magic from her, which he cared about from the beginning, there was also...borrowing some money, otherwise he would have to walk even to go out.

"Speaking of which...where could Irena be?" An Yan, who was walking on the road, only remembered that he and Irena met Ijichi Hongxia in Shimokitazawa.

If Irena followed Hongxia home, she should be in Shimokitazawa, so when he went out, he would always search in Shimokitazawa.

Now think about it seriously, if you are really in Shimokitazawa, if you choose to go to a school, you will usually go to a nearby school. It shouldn't be too difficult to find it?

With this goal in mind, he calculated the route in his head, and started the expedition again, walking towards Shimokitazawa, which is nearly ten kilometers away from Shuchiin in the port area.

He walked like this for two hours, from noon to afternoon, before he arrived at Shimokitazawa in Tagani District.

There are many fashion stores, second-hand clothing stores and daily necessities stores on the street, as well as many elegant cafes and bars, as well as various shops such as long-established Japanese pubs and popular restaurants.

Because the neighborhood is relatively old, the average height of the buildings is only two or three stories, and there are a lot of complicated wires above the streets. Compared with the bustling but obviously fast-paced port area, the slow-paced and nostalgic Shimokitazawa is brewing. It creates a unique street scene atmosphere.

An Yan, who was walking through it, every time he came here, he would unconsciously be attracted by a street full of money and desire that was completely different from the Tokyo downtown area that he had been tired of seeing in the past year.

As he walked around unconsciously, he almost forgot the purpose of coming here. It wasn't until his stomach started growling that he remembered what he was here for.

"Oops...I didn't even eat lunch. I was so disturbed by Kaguya that I forgot to put the bento in the drawer..."

The dilemma of hunger reminded him of the days when he first came to this world and he didn't know how to evaluate it. He staggered out of the shop and onto the street.

In addition to Xiuhua High School not far from Shimokitazawa, there was also Shimokitazawa High School in the neighborhood. So after hesitating for a moment, he chose to go to Shimokitazawa High School and squatted outside.

Soon as the sun gradually set in the west, the school bell rang, and not long after that...

"——Oh~ Are you... An Yan??" No one showed up at the school gate yet, but a familiar voice suddenly came from the side of the road.

Looking subconsciously, he saw a gray-haired girl wearing a black hood looking at him with a surprised expression.

Irena is still dressed like a witch, and she is also wearing the witch badge that she is proud of. It can be said that except for not wearing a hood, her other attire is the same as when they first met, and at the same time it is not too much. Attractive.

After carefully observing and confirming that it was him, Irena quickly came closer and tilted her head with a teasing smile: "What's wrong? You finally came out today?"

"....How is it possible? You guys didn't leave for too long and I came out."

"Oh~ Then the luxury car, the mansion, the maid, the feast?" When she said this, Irena's eyes shone for some reason.

But he showed a bitter expression: "....You think a little too wonderfully."

"No? Isn't your house a very wealthy one? It will be a luxurious big bed when you get back, right?"

"...a hospital ward to be precise."

"Hey...why?"

"...Put this aside for now." He imitated Irena's past movements, putting the air aside as if performing without a physical object, and then asked: "But why didn't you come out of school? Today is a working day, right? Skipping class?"

"This..." Irena's eyes suddenly became uncertain: "Well~ there are always various situations in life~"

"....Too."

"No, wait a minute..." He finished with a sigh, but Irena stared at him in turn, doubting: "You are also the age of a student, right? And this is not a school, and get out of class has just ended. , why do you appear here? Could it be that you...?"

"——Wait!" He raised his right hand and pointed the palm of his hand at the girl in front of him, signaling her to pause: "Are you sure we want to delve into this now?"

"....Well, let's put it aside for now." After a moment of silence, Irena showed a hearty smile, tacitly put the question behind her, and asked instead: "What's wrong? You're here all of a sudden. ? Are you looking for me?"

"Of course, is it possible that I can still find Hongxia? Let her come to me again if she is fine?"

"....real?"
