A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"So, do I have to take care of that myself?"

"Ah, that's right."

"Is that so..."

After receiving Suzuki Ren's affirmative reply, she immediately walked towards the box without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ren Suzuki finally breathed a sigh of relief, and picked up the utility knife, preparing to help Shiina Mashiro pack the rest of her luggage while she was sorting out her underwear.

However, just as he opened the box containing the books and was about to help her take the books one by one to the bookshelf in the room, Mashiro Shiina immediately came to him again——

"Packed up."

"Are you kidding me?"

Ren Suzuki looked back in shock.

"There are at least dozens of clothes in that box. How did you finish packing them in less than a minute?"

"...? Just, take them out and throw them in."

Mashiro Shiina explained her organizing method in an unusual tone.

Ren Suzuki tilted her head slightly and looked at the closet door behind her that had not yet been closed——

"…………Shiina-kun."

"Yes."

"You...may have some misunderstandings about the word 'clean up'."

Looking at the "pile" of clothes stuffed directly into the closet, Ren Suzuki felt that her voice could not help but tremble.

He really couldn't imagine how lazy this girl must be to regard this "tragic situation" as having been sorted out...

……

(No, no, this child...maybe cannot be understood simply as laziness.)

Because the other party's words and actions were so contrary to common sense, Ren Suzuki's thoughts became calmer.

After returning to Sakurasou, she asked about every detail...

When she just opened the first box, she lacked awareness of the emotion of "shame"...

And now, when facing that pile of messy clothes, she shows indifference...

"Sorry, Shiina-san, please wait for me a moment."

Whether it is for the next strategy or for the rest of Shiina Mashiro's life, Ren Suzuki must ask Chihiro Sengoku, her guardian, about the child's situation.

"I have something to confirm with Teacher Qianxun. I will be back soon."

"……I see."

After hearing Suzuki Ren's instructions, Shiina Mashiro nodded immediately.

Then, she sat back on the chair in the room, like an exquisite doll, returning to the quiet posture she had just seen when she was watching him carry his luggage.

Seeing this, Ren Suzuki didn't stop any longer, but walked hurriedly towards the administrator's room where Qianshi Qianhiro was.

Chapter 7: Shiina Mashiro’s “weirdness”

Just as Ren Suzuki hurriedly walked down the stairs and was about to run directly to the administrator's dormitory, he suddenly discovered that Chihiro Sengoku was sitting at the dining table at this time, and his eyes were looking at the stairs where he was. It seemed that he was It was as if he had expected that he would come to find her——

"You look like you've been greatly shocked, right?"

Seeing the astonished expression on Ren Suzuki's face, Chihiro Sengoku grinned and asked:

"Well, that's a pretty incredible kid, isn't he?"

After saying that, she gestured to the seat next to her, as if she wanted him to sit down and chat.

"It's not so much incredible...but it's more worrying."

Suzuki Ren frowned and sat over.

"Although it may be rude of Shiina-san to ask this, has she ever suffered from a disease similar to 'high-functioning autism'?"

The so-called high-functioning autism refers to a very special type of disease, which is characterized by [language expression disorder] [difficulty in social relationships with others] and [narrow interests, paranoia and specific things].

In his opinion, Shiina Mashiro can be said to perfectly meet the above characteristics.

However, Chihiro Sengoku's subsequent answer made Ren Suzuki's tense mood slightly relieved.

"...Not really."

Qianshi Qianxun shook his head:

"Although this child does behave a bit differently in some aspects, there is no problem with her mental and psychological condition."

"So, what kind of living environment caused her to become like this... extremely lacking in the ability to take care of herself?"

Ren Suzuki asked in confusion:

"Let alone folding clothes, this child is probably seriously lacking even the most basic emotional cognition... I don't think this is the result of being cultivated in a normal environment."

"Ah, you are right. This child's background is indeed not ordinary."

Qianshi Qianxun nodded.

"Because... the family this child was born into is actually a well-known artistic family in the UK. In a sense, they are a group of 'gods' who pursue art as their goal and completely ignore the worldly world."

"..."

Although Chihiro Sengoku's comments sound quite yin and yang, it is also very consistent with Ren Suzuki's imagination of an "artist".

And then Qianshi Qianxun continued:

"And in such a family environment, Mashiro's child awakened her extraordinary talent for painting at a very young age... You can check this on the Internet. Just search for her name and you will know what this child has. How awesome.”

"I've investigated it in advance."

Ren Suzuki replied:

"[The girl who fell from the sky], a super genius who successfully held a solo exhibition during his outstanding period..."

"That's right. Even if you look at the art world where geniuses abound, her talent is outstanding. So guess what, if such a gifted child appears in a family that pays attention to art cultivation, what kind of environment will she grow up in? What's it like?"

"…………"

Just after listening to Chihiro Sengoku's description, the corresponding picture appeared in Ren Suzuki's mind.

"In other words, the education she received since childhood was basically all focused on painting?"

"If not all of them, at least half of them."

Qianshi Qianxun shrugged.

"But fortunately, the child didn't have any resistance or rejection. For this girl who grew up in her grandfather's studio, she also has a very strong interest in painting."

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

After learning about the other party's extremely special family situation, most of the doubts in Suzuki Ren's heart immediately disappeared.

In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for Shiina Mashiro's lack of certain common sense and lack of self-care ability.

However, in addition to this, another question came to Suzuki Ren's mind——

"If that's the case, then... why did she come to Japan to study?"

Suzuki Ren couldn't help but asked curiously.

"If you really want to talk about painting and art education, foreign countries are definitely much more advanced than us here, right?"

"Indeed, and in terms of painting alone, her abilities and qualifications are enough to become a teacher at Suimei High School."

Qianshi Qianxun nodded.

"So, what this child wants to learn when he comes here is not painting... but comics."

"………………Eh?"

Although it was all related to "painting", after hearing this word, Ren Suzuki inevitably showed a surprised expression.

"Come here...to study comics? Will her family agree to such a random thing?"

"I agree. After all, for this kind of art house, my will and creative desire can be said to be the most important things. And after all, it is also related to painting, and they do not think that this will waste her talent. and technology.”

Qianshi Qianxun said:

"I don't know what she went through. Anyway, after holding an art exhibition in the UK, this child suddenly expressed that she wanted to study comics and become a cartoonist. And in terms of comic culture, we do have something here. She had certain advantages, so at her strong suggestion, she transferred here from the UK. And as her cousin, I naturally became her temporary guardian——"

Speaking of this, she suddenly turned her eyes to Suzuki Ren again:

"It's just that what I didn't expect is that in addition to me, they also asked you to be her companion here... Hey, looking at it this way, these artists are actually a bit human."

"........."

After listening to what Chihiro Sengoku said, Ren Suzuki suddenly had a more three-dimensional concept of the girl Shiina Mashiro.

A super genius who grew up in a special environment.

A purdah lady who lacks secular education.

and doers who will travel overseas to pursue their dreams.

Various analysis results were combined in Suzuki Ren's mind, and he understood the flaws and problems in this child.

At the same time, Qianshi Qianxun finally told the reason why she was waiting for him here——

"Suzuki-san."

"Yes."

"Although you only took on the task of taking care of Mashiro because you were entrusted by your parents. But on top of that, I have another request..."

"...What request?"

"Please teach her the most basic common sense of life and how to get along with others while she is studying in Japan."

This time, her expression was no longer as careless as before, but became extremely serious and serious, and even her tone no longer contained any smile.

"If I, as an adult, do this, it will become a simple education no matter what. So, I hope you can teach this child this through 'accompanying'... Please."

After hearing this, Suzuki Ren did not rush to agree, but asked Sengoku Chihiro:

"Is it really okay to leave this kind of thing to a stranger like me?"

"Of course I can't trust ordinary strangers, but based on what I observed about you today... I think I can completely entrust this task to you."

Whether it was the sense of responsibility shown by Ren Suzuki when she wanted to shirk her work on the grounds of "failed friendship", or the sense of tolerance he had always shown after taking Mashiro back to Sakurasou, all of which made Chihiro Sengoku He was impressed.

The decisive point is that after he discovered the "weirdness" in Shiina Mashiro, he immediately asked himself about it, which also made Qianshi Qianhiro realize the kindness of this boy and the maturity of his way of dealing with things.

If it were him, he might really be the one to lead Shiina Mashiro back to society.

"So...are you willing to accept my request?"

"Yes, I accept it."

After sensing Qianshi Chihiro's thoughtful consideration, Suzuki Ren naturally agreed very decisively.

"Although I can't guarantee the final outcome,... I will definitely do my best to help Shiina-san and let her return to a normal lifestyle as much as possible."

In this regard, on the first day after moving into Sakurasou, Suzuki Ren officially became Shiina Mashiro's legal "companion".

In addition, he already had some preliminary ideas in his mind about how to carry out the strategy...

Chapter 8: "Instruction Manual" for Genius Girls

There is indeed a type of person called "genius" in this world.

Their outstanding talents and talents make them look at things from a completely different point of view from others, which leads to completely different changes in the perceptions of both parties when treating the same thing.

And for this world composed of the vast majority of "mortals", these unique perceptions will naturally make them appear incompatible with their surroundings... This is the reason why these "geniuses" seem to lack sociality. .

So, how to regain sociality for these geniuses who have been different from others since the beginning of their recognition?

Regarding this point, Suzuki Ren still has some say.

"First of all... don't try to use 'error correction' methods to forcefully change them. And you can't hastily define your own understanding as 'correct'."

Roughly and forcibly changing their minds will not only make them feel disconnected from the entire world, but will also cause their originally outstanding talents to be affected.
