Why is my anime art style so weird?

Soon the office door was pushed open, and a figure that Xu Ming knew all too well walked into the office.

A light blue yukata, a red vest over it, jet-black hair cascading down her back, eyes sharp as knives... who else could it be but Ryougi Shiki?

Xu Ming was taken aback at first, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Miss Ryougi, we meet again."

Ryougi Shiki also immediately noticed Xu Ming's face, which she loathed, and her face instantly contorted into a grimace.

"It's you again?!"

"Oh, do you two know each other?"

The chairman asked with some curiosity.

"I don't know him!"

Ryougi Shiki denied it almost without hesitation.

"Of course I know him."

Xu Ming answered with a smile.

The chairman's face immediately showed a "youth is wonderful" expression; he had clearly misunderstood something.

Ryougi Shiki's face instantly turned completely black!

She glared fiercely at Xu Ming; if her eyes could be used as daggers, she might have sliced ​​him into pieces in the next second.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became incredibly cold.

The chairman coughed twice, trying to change the subject.

So he picked up the landline, dialed a number, and then spoke in a very gentle tone to the person on the other end of the line:

"It's me, Misaya. Could you come to my office?"

Soon the office door was pushed open again, and a young woman with wine-red hair walked in.

A hint of surprise flashed in Xu Ming's eyes when he saw her.

Isn't this the girl who was peeping at him from the window?

"Your Excellency Chairman, greetings."

The girl bowed, her movements precise and elegant, yet subtly conveying a polite distance.

The chairman, however, didn't seem to mind, and instead smiled indulgently, saying:

"Mishaya, you've arrived. Perfect timing, let me introduce you."

The chairman pointed to the girl and said to Xu Ming and Ryougi Shiki.

"This is the president of the Reien Student Council, Misaya Huanglu. She will show you around the academy."

Huang Lu?

Xu Ming's heart skipped a beat. If he remembered correctly, when the chairman introduced himself, he also mentioned that his surname was Huang Lu. Could it be...?

As Xu Ming was pondering, the chairman pointed at Xu Ming and the other person and said to Huang Lu Meisaya:

"Misayo, this is the new transfer student, Ryougi Shiki, and this is Investigator Xu Ming. Would you please show these two guests around the academy?"

The chairman's tone was very polite, not at all like that of a superior and subordinate.

Based on the age difference and appearance of the two, Xu Ming guessed that even if they were not father and daughter, they were at least very close blood relatives.

"Yes, Chairman."

However, Misaya Huanglu seemed indifferent, and she replied indifferently.

Thus, led by Huang Lumeishaye, Xu Ming and Liang Yishi began their visit to this ancient church school.

Class C, Grade 1, Senior High School.

Several close female friends were huddled together, talking quietly.

One of the energetic, short-haired girls said to her companions in a serious, mysterious tone:

Have you ever heard the legend of the Mirror Fairy?

"Mirror Fairy? No."

The other girls shook their heads in agreement.

"Legend has it that after midnight, a person enters a public restroom, closes the door and lights, lights a candle in front of the mirror at the sink, fills a basin with water, cuts his finger with a knife, drips a drop of blood into the water, closes his eyes, and calls out the name of the person he wants to see."

If the candle is blown out, you can see the person you want to see in the mirror.

The short-haired girl described it with great seriousness.

"Huh~ Is this true? I'm starting to miss my mom and dad now."

A round-faced girl immediately said with a look of anticipation.

"Idiot, you can just make a phone call if you're alive. The ritual to summon the Mirror Spirit can only be used to see the deceased."

The short-haired girl immediately said with a look of disdain.

The round-faced girl's face immediately showed disappointment.

"Then forget it. I wouldn't dare go to the public restroom alone at night. My senior said it's haunted."

"Those were just the older girls lying to you, teasing you. You actually believed that?"

The short-haired girl glanced at her disdainfully, then looked at a quiet and pretty girl with bangs standing to the side.

"Shiori, why haven't you said anything for so long? Is there someone you want to see?"

Seeing her friend remain silent for a long time, the short-haired girl asked curiously.

Shiori Hagamiya, who had been in a daze, suddenly snapped out of it. She bit her lip, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, and asked cautiously:

"Chiharu, is the legend of the Mirror Fairy true?"

The short-haired girl, Matsugata Chiharu, suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at her in disbelief.

"Shiori, you don't actually believe this, do you? It's just something I saw in a third-rate magazine, something like urban legend. These magazines love to make things up for the sake of sales, it's completely unbelievable."

"So that's how it is..."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Shiori's eyes.

Just then, someone suddenly whispered something.

"The student council president is here!"

The girls who had gathered together immediately separated and returned to their respective positions.

'White tooth! There's one more thing I forgot to mention...'

Chiharu suddenly scratched her head.

The magazine also noted at the end: When your name is called, no matter what happens, you must not open your eyes, or something terrible will happen.

'Never mind, it's not important. Besides, the legend of the Mirror Fairy is just a lie anyway…'

Qianchun's Heartfelt Thoughts.

She quickly put the matter out of her mind.

However, she didn't see that behind her, Shiori Hagamiya's eyes flashed with a resolute look, as if she had secretly made a decision...

Chapter 244 The Old Teaching Building

"This is the high school teaching building. The first floor has classrooms for first-year students. The second and third floors are arranged in order. The fourth floor has activity rooms for some indoor clubs, such as flower arranging, calligraphy, literature, etc."

Outdoor clubs such as archery, gateball, and tennis have their activity rooms located next to the gymnasium in a separate building.

Misaya Huang walked gracefully ahead of the two, stopping from time to time to explain the function of each room.

"President, greetings."

When she encounters other students on the way, they immediately stop and greet her.

"Greetings."

Huang Lumeisha would immediately reciprocate with a gift.

Her demeanor was elegant and poised; among all the girls Xu Ming had met of her age, she possessed the most air of a young lady from a wealthy family. (Erina: I feel offended.)

Under her guidance, Xu Ming and Liang Shiyi visited the middle school section, the high school section, the faculty and staff office building, the gymnasium and other facilities along the way.

I don't know why, but although the landscaping in Liyuan is well done, it seems to be poorly planned. Some buildings are separated by dense trees, making it look as if they are completely isolated by trees.

In addition, the college doesn't have a large number of students to begin with, and it's quite empty. Some of the old buildings, which have little foot traffic and are isolated in the woods, still give you a chill even during the day.

"Ok?"

As Huang Lu Meisha was leading two people ahead, Xu Ming suddenly caught a glimpse of a building peeking out from between the trees.

Strangely, Misaya Huanglu seemed to have no intention of leading the two to visit the building.

So Xu Ming spoke up directly.

"President Huang Lu, what kind of place is that?"

Huang Lu Meisha looked in the direction Xu Ming was pointing, and her expression changed slightly.

"That's the old teaching building. There was a fire there, and it's completely abandoned now. There's nothing to see here."

Huang Lu Meisha tried to appear calm, but her expression seemed somewhat unnatural.

Xu Ming and Ryougi Shiki could easily see her unusual behavior, but they both tacitly remained silent.

"By the way, Liangyi hasn't been to the dormitory yet, has she? How about I take you to see your room first?"

As for Mr. Xu Ming… your room has been arranged in the faculty and staff office building, where the other teachers also live.”

Huang Lumeisha began to deliberately change the subject at night.

Xu Ming smiled and shook his head.

"President Huang Lu, the chairman should have mentioned to you that we are both here to investigate those strange things, so this abandoned school building is actually a target we must investigate."

Could you please show us around?

Although Xu Ming said "please," his attitude was very firm.
