Chapter 8: This family will fall apart sooner or later without me.

What is the most deserving thing to be eliminated in this world?

Whether you ask this question to students still in school or working professionals, you'll likely get a fairly consistent answer:

The alarm clock in the morning!

"Ring ring~ Ring ring~"

The alarm clock rang precisely on time in the early morning.

The moment I heard the alarm ring, it felt like my brain had been hit hard with a club.

Its power was no less than the blow that Emperor Gin delivered to Shinichi Kudo on the back of the head, shattering the timeline of the Detective Conan world in one strike.

Upon waking up, Su Yan immediately reached out from under the covers to turn off the alarm clock on the bedside table.

But it felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, preventing him from moving.

I am bearing a burden that should not be borne at my age.

What is weighing me down so much that I can't lift my head?

Is this life?

No, it's Shizuka Marikawa!

Su Yan opened his eyes and saw Shizuka Marikawa's sleeping face right in front of him, so close that he could see every single hair on her face clearly.

Shizuka Marikawa clung to him like an octopus, her entire weight pressing down on him, even the two large breasts on her chest were being severely squeezed.

Shizuka Marikawa's breath tickled Su Yan's face.

Without lingering too long in the gentle embrace of Shizuka Marikawa, Su Yan laboriously freed his hand from her grasp and turned off the alarm clock that was still disturbing his peaceful sleep.

Then she got up and walked to the little nest she had built for the two snowball beasts by the bedside, picked up one of the little cuties, and turned around to put it into Shizuka Marikawa's arms.

Before she was fully awake, her hand, which had been groping for something on the bed, instinctively reached for the snowball beast that Su Yan had given her and hugged it tightly without hesitation after Su Yan left.

"Meow?"

Feeling the sudden pressure on its body, Snowballmon opened its big, round eyes.

Any man in the world who sees Snowballmon's current position would wish to take her place and replace her.

However, at this moment, Snowball Beast's face was filled with utter despair.

"Shhh."

Su Yan put her index finger to her lips, signaling the snowball beast to be quiet: "Don't wake her up."

"Meow!"

Snowballmon nodded heavily, as if it had made up its mind.

Seeing this, Su Yan smiled and, in a cooperative manner, opened his mouth towards the Snowball Beast and whispered, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Snowball Beast: This family will fall apart sooner or later without me!

Su Yan glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table; it was 6:01 AM.

Actually, it wouldn't matter if Su Yan got up a little later. In Japan, high school classes usually start around 8 o'clock, so there are still two hours until 6 o'clock.

However, Su Yan got up early mainly to prepare breakfast and lunch for Shizuka Marikawa.

Island nations have a long-standing bento culture. Whether they are students or working professionals, most people choose to prepare a bento box in advance for lunch.

Elementary school students usually have their lunchboxes made by their parents or older siblings.

In junior high school, schools in island nations offer a course called home economics.

The school's home economics teacher will teach students to make simple dishes such as tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelet).

Therefore, after junior high school, students usually start trying to make their own bento boxes.

Those who still need help making lunchboxes in high school are either rich kids or complete cooking novices.

Although the school cafeteria sells bento boxes at lunchtime, they're mostly foreign-style Chinese food...

How about trying General Tso's Chicken?

Therefore, Su Yan had no choice but to adapt to the island nation's bento culture.

She opened the wardrobe, took out her Fujimi Academy uniform, and put it on.

After washing up in the bathroom, I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and lunch.

Su Yan's lunch consisted mainly of home-style dishes like stir-fried garlic sprouts with pork, shredded pork with green peppers, and minced pork with pickled green beans, which would become more flavorful and appetizing after sitting for a while.

After finishing breakfast and packing lunch into a bento box, Su Yan took the bento box to Fujimi Academy.

Still, Shizuka Marikawa was not awakened.

Shizuka Marikawa is a teacher at the Fujimi Academy Medical Center, a profession that most people envy.

Plenty of money and little work.

Minor illnesses don't need treatment; they'll heal on their own after a rest.

If a serious illness cannot be treated, the patient should be transferred directly to a hospital.

The existence of infirmaries in island nations is, to some extent, to provide students who want to skip class with another option.

The position of infirmary teacher is somewhat similar to that of a physical education teacher at the University of Tokyo.

Arriving at the classroom door of Fujimi Academy, it wasn't long before class started, and the students were chatting in small groups.

Su Yan, however, had no desire to approach them.

The zombie crisis is about to break out, and who knows how many people in this school will survive.

Besides, he didn't awaken any lord system, and apart from the anime heroines he had his eye on, there was no need for him to interact with anyone else.

Su Yan sat on the king's throne by the window in the back row of the classroom, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding noise.

The body naturally enters a meditative state of mind cultivation.

There's no need to worry about being disturbed by others. Yu Yun, the top student in the second grade, and his usual aloof demeanor will naturally make others keep their distance from him.

Time flew by, and soon it was lunchtime.

Su Yan brought her lunchbox to the school rooftop, one of the most popular spots for anime and manga fans to take photos.

Su Yan usually goes to the infirmary to have lunch with Shizuka Marikawa.

It wasn't until after class that Su Yan learned that Shizuka Marikawa had taken the day off.

She said she went to visit her best friend, Nan Lixiang.

It seems he took what he said last night to heart.

Left with no other choice, Su Yan had to eat lunch alone today.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the school rooftop is a popular spot for anime and manga fans to take photos; there's really nothing special about it.

It's cold in winter and hot in summer; only spring and autumn are alright.

Furthermore, many schools in island nations lock the doors leading to the rooftops for fear that some students might have suicidal thoughts.

Su Yan was simply curious because he had never been to the rooftop of Fujimi Academy before.

Only those who don't have many friends would go to the school rooftop alone to get some fresh air.

This brings us to the unique bullying culture of island nations.

In island nations, students are assigned to new classes at the start of each school year and must organize or join a small group as quickly as possible.

If you are still alone after a period of time, you will be considered an antisocial person.

Then the other classmates will tacitly team up to bully you until you integrate into a small group.

Whether you are a top student or a poor student, they will bully every non-social person equally.

Often, the protagonist in anime and manga is in this unsociable position.

In fact, Su Yan is now part of the bullied group.

However, in Su Yan's eyes, it wasn't that he was being bullied, but that he was the one bullying everyone.

Su Yan sat on the rooftop, leaning against the wall, about to open the lid of the lunchbox.

I could faintly hear what sounded like a girl sobbing nearby.

However, this is not uncommon in Japanese schools, but Su Yan still couldn't help but go up and take a look out of curiosity.

A girl with long flaxen hair leaned against the wall, hugged her knees, curled up, and buried her head in her legs, crying.

"Asuna?"
