Yotsuya Miko "…"
She didn't react at first, but after thinking carefully for a while, she understood what "2.5 Yotsuya Miko" meant.
And honestly, she could already picture it in her mind.
Yotsuya Miko composed herself, trying her best to calm her anxious mood.
Just as Yozora said,
Evil Spirits were dangerous existences, and if she was too impetuous, she would die a terrible death.
Yotsuya Miko didn't want to be timid, but likewise, she didn't want to die young.
At the very least, she should experience a sweet romance before she died, right?
"Sigh, the atmosphere in schools nowadays is really something."
Yozora looked at Toma Kazusa, who was sleeping soundly with her head on the desk beside him, and with the demeanor of an Old Man who had seen through the truths of the World, he shook his head and sighed.
"Sleeping so early in the morning, Soubu High School has really fallen."
Before Yotsuya Miko could say anything, Yozora took out two exquisite small pillows from his satchel on the side of his desk.
He gently placed one on Toma Kazusa's desk, and the other he placed on his own desk, then immediately leaned down. In less than a second, he fell into a baby-like sleep.
Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but show a helpless expression.
But she could probably guess why.
The reason Yozora slept all day was probably because he was "active" in various parts of Kyoto at night.
Thinking of this, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
If it were her, even if she had the same ability to contend with Evil Spirits as Yozora, would she have enough courage to make the same choice as him?
Yotsuya Miko had a deep understanding of the terror of Evil Spirits.
Therefore, she felt even more that Yozora was not a normal person.
This guy was even more evil than an Evil Spirit.
…
The tedious morning classes quickly ended.
When Yozora woke up and stretched, he found that Toma Kazusa had, at some point, already been sleeping on the small pillow he had given her.
At this moment, he felt like a saint.
She had given him a bottle of room-temperature Pepsi toilet cleaner.
But he had returned the favor with a pillow, which was exactly what Toma Kazusa urgently needed.
What was this if not a modern version of repaying evil with good?
"Look, am I emitting a light of merit?"
Hearing Yozora's sudden question, Yotsuya Miko paused slightly, then cautiously said,
"A light of merit… isn't that something only monks have?"
"Then never mind."
Yotsuya Miko shook her head, not bothering with Yozora's strange words.
She had come to understand.
If she were to seriously ponder every word Yozora said, she would one day become as abstract as him.
"Here, for you."
Yozora took the cream bread and drink that Yotsuya Miko handed him, and shook his head, saying,
"Is this repaying a favor? According to the usual trope, shouldn't it be a bento you made yourself, with a little heart secretly drawn in ketchup inside?"
Yotsuya Miko helplessly massaged her forehead and sighed, not knowing how to respond to such absurd words, and simply turned and returned to her seat.
Just as Yozora picked up the cream bread, preparing to unwrap it, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly appeared at the classroom door and waved to him.
"Yozora, come here for a moment, I need to talk to you."
"Alright."
When Yozora stood up and walked out of the classroom, it was clear that the students on both sides of the aisle moved aside for him.
After a day of fermentation, the rumors about him being a dangerous person had completely spread throughout Soubu High School.
Currently publicly available information 1: Yozora threatened a girl with a knife.
Currently publicly available information 2: Yozora slept in class.
Currently publicly available information 3: Hiratsuka Shizuka called Yozora to the office.
Conclusion:
"Is he going to be disciplined?"
"No, no, he's probably going to be expelled, right?"
"It can't be that serious, can it? Expelled on only the second day of school?"
"Maybe the rumor is true, he really did bring a knife to school."
"What I heard was that he brought a semi-automatic rifle?"
"You're exaggerating a bit, it was clearly a revolver."
…
A blessing in disguise.
The girl who played the role of the victim in the rumors, Yotsuya Miko, her name never appeared.
And no one really cared who the so-called victim was.
Everyone was simply looking for entertainment, just wanting to discuss it for fun.
Hiratsuka Shizuka clearly hadn't expected that simply calling Yozora to the office would cause such a chain reaction.
After Yozora walked out of the classroom, a hint of apology appeared in her eyes, and she lowered her voice, saying,
"I'm sorry, I…"
"It's fine, it's fine."
Yozora waved his hand, smiling indifferently.
"Cute Teachers can be forgiven."
"You!"
Hearing Yozora say she was cute, Hiratsuka Shizuka's face flushed slightly, she clenched her right fist and waved it, frowning slightly as she said,
"Don't talk to your Teacher like that."
"Alright, so what's the matter?"
"Let's talk in the office."
After taking Yozora to the office, Hiratsuka Shizuka subconsciously took out a slender lady's cigarette from her pocket, but then put it back.
Because she saw Kirisu Mafuyu sitting not far away, staring at her with a righteous and scrutinizing gaze.
As a Teacher, it was indeed inappropriate to smoke in front of students.
"I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"
"Forming a club?"
"Eh? How did you know?"
Hearing Yozora directly state her inner thoughts, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but be stunned.
"So it's true."
Yozora shrugged, looking somewhat unwilling, and said with resistance,
"Shizuka-sensei, I'm very busy every day, I don't have time for club activities, let's just forget it."
"That won't do."
Hearing Yozora say this, Hiratsuka Shizuka's initial thought of simply probing him instantly became firm.
"Only by forming a club and maintaining normal interaction with other students can you change your reputation at school. It's also a way to give you something to do, instead of just sleeping all day."
"How troublesome."
Yozora sat opposite Hiratsuka Shizuka, crossed his legs, looked lazy, and spread his hands.
"Leaving aside whether I'm willing or not, forming a club requires at least five members."
Hiratsuka Shizuka replied without thinking, "I will apply to the school for a special exception. Even if it's just you, a club can be formed."
"What about future members? I'm not an easy person to get along with."
"They all have to be approved by you personally."
"And there needs to be a clubroom."
"I will also apply to the school for that, and they will definitely agree."
"But if I have to participate in club activities I'm not interested in, that would be too boring, it would be torture."
"The nature of the club will be decided by you, as long as it's not too outrageous."
Yozora asked questions very quickly, disrupting Hiratsuka Shizuka's train of thought, forcing her to answer immediately.
Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Kirisu Mafuyu's eyes not far away.
"OK, it's a deal."
Seeing the difficult expression on Yozora's face instantly disappear, and his calm expression as he agreed, Hiratsuka Shizuka belatedly realized.
She…
Had she been tricked?
