Zongman: I can modify the status bar

"Haha, I'll try my best!" Yuigahama Yui jumped over and hugged the shy Yukino.

"In that case, I'll try to help out a bit!"

Everyone followed the sound, which was from Haruki who was standing nearby.

"Hmm? Tell me about it?" Yukino was really looking forward to what Haruki would do, but Haruki didn't seem to want to say it directly. He just waved to Yuigahama Yui and asked her to come over.

"Eh? Me?"

"Yes, come here first!"

Just like that, Yuigahama Yui went over and had a private chat with Haruki for a while.

"Ah? Is this okay?" Yuigahama Yui was obviously a little surprised.

"Don't worry, it's okay. It's during lunch break, it's no big deal, just go ahead and do it!" Yaohui squinted his eyes and was very confident.

"But, that's not a question of whether to take a nap or not! Ah! Forget it, there's no other good way, so let's just do what you said!" Yuigahama Yui returned to Yukino's side angrily. Naturally, the others didn't know what had happened.

Even though Miura Yumiko tried her best to eavesdrop, she couldn't hear what Minbai and the others said.

"Then let's get started!"

"Wait a minute!" Yumiko Miura couldn't help but stand up.

"Hmm? Do you have anything else to say?" Yukino looked at Miura Yumiko in confusion.

"Of course, if this is a boys' matter, there's someone who must know more about it than anyone else in the class!"

"Who?"

"That's—Hina Ebina!"

……

"Yeah! There's a picture!"

On the other side, in the [Service Club], Haruki and Yukino sat together staring at the screens of their phones, from which came the second-year J class classroom.

Second grade Class J classroom.

During lunch break, everyone had free time after lunch. Some read books, some rested on the table, and some chatted in groups of three or five.

Hayato Hayama was ordered to chat with the three people as usual, while Yuigahama Yui went to Ebina Hime with Miura Yumiko to look for clues.

"Well, what I mean is, Tobe, Ooka, and Yamato seem to be acting a little strangely lately!" Yuigahama Yui asked Ebina Hina directly.

For some reason, Miura Yumiko didn't say anything, but just made faces at Yuigahama Yui as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't utter them.

"Eh? Yui? I don't remember you being the kind of person who would say something like that." Ebina Hina looked at Yuigahama Yui with some confusion.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk about others like this? Gossiping about your friends is not a good thing..."

"Ah! No... no! How should I put it... I'm just a little concerned!" Yuigahama Yui tried her best to make her behavior seem less abrupt, but this seemed to make the atmosphere even weirder.

"What? Do you like one of them?" There's no way around it. Girls of this age are all like this, very sensitive to emotional matters.

"Ah? No!" Yuigahama Yui blushed and defended herself, but suddenly blushed and whispered, "Someone made me care, that's...ah!"

Suddenly I noticed a pair of eyes staring at me, as if my body and mind were seen through.

"So, you have someone you like? Tell us about it, we will lend you a helping hand! Right?" Ebina Hime attacked Yuigahama Yui, while looking at Miura Yumiko who was at a loss on the side.

"Ah... yes, we will help..." Miura Yumiko didn't know what was going on. If she had known this would happen, she should have asked in person. However, if she asked, it might cause another misunderstanding.

"Oh! I said, that's not what I meant! What I care about is the relationship between those three people!" Yuigahama Yui was eager to cut off her own relationship, so she led it to the other extreme.

"I understand!" There was suddenly a different kind of emotion in Ebina Hina's eyes when she looked at Yuigahama Yui, the feeling of having found a confidant!

Yumiko Miura closed her eyes and couldn't bear to watch. The thing she wanted to avoid most had happened.

"So Yui thinks so too!" Ebina Hina lowered her head and clasped her hands together in front of her chest, "Actually, I think so too..."

"That's right! Don't you think the atmosphere between them is very awkward recently?" Yuigahama Yui still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and was still going further and further down the road of misunderstanding. Even though Miura Yumiko next to her had hinted to her many times with her eyes, it still didn't work.

"I think... Tobu is definitely a bottom!"

……

Chapter 307: I can only play with my phone

"That's right! This guy Totsuka is right at first glance!"

Ebina Hina pounced directly on Yuigahama Yui, and the two of them started to stick close to each other.

"Eh?" Yuigahama Yui was so shocked by what was just said that she gave up thinking and just instinctively retreated step by step under the pressure of Ebina Hina.

But Ebina Hina still continued to attack Yuigahama Yui with a red face and almost crazy manner.

"Then if Yamato-kun is an orphan, he must be the one who attacks with all his might, and if Ooka is the one who seduces, he must be the one who receives! There must be some secret behind this triangle relationship! But, but! When they talk about their personal targets, they must all be targeting Hayato!"

Ebina Hina became more and more excited as she spoke, then turned around and continued to think of the obscene scenes in her mind while continuing to act crazy.

“This feeling of everyone taking a step back for their friends—it’s here!”

As she spoke, Ebina Hina's nose started bleeding, and Miura Yumiko quickly took out a handkerchief to help Ebina Hina wipe the blood from her nose.

"Hey! Ebina, you're cuter when you're quiet, so just pretend for a bit!"

While comforting Ebina Hime, Miura Yumiko winked at the bewildered Yuigahama Yui and pointed at the group of four chatting at the back of the class.

Yuigahama Yui then remembered her other task, and quickly pointed the camera of the mobile phone on her chest towards the back.

"Hayato! Have you decided where to go?" Ooka pretended to be calm and asked Hayato Hayama about the location of the professional tour, was he trying to find out some information?

"Well, I want to go into the media industry, or go to a foreign-funded enterprise." Hayato Hayama stood among several people, completely occupying the center position.

"Oh! Hayato is really very promising! But, we are already at this age, and we have been worshipping our parents in various ways lately!" Tobe started to liven up the atmosphere again. Although it was very awkward, he would not say anything else. He could not make things too difficult for him.

Yamato, who was standing next to him, put his hand on Tobe's shoulder and interrupted his spellcasting. "From now on, I hope you will work harder!"

Tobe glanced at Yamato behind him in surprise, then naturally shook off the hand on his shoulder, "But you can't lose your youthful heart!"

It sounds a bit confusing, but if you can really say something like this in such a youthful way, then you can probably be considered a friend...

The four people in the picture are still chatting intermittently, calling each other's names, as if to say "This is the evidence of our friendship."

Haruki smiled faintly and turned off his phone. Yukino, who was standing next to him, looked confused.

"Did you figure out something?" There was no way. Although Yukino was very smart and perceptive, she did not have much experience in this kind of situation.

"Not only that, I've even... Never mind, I'll reveal the answer after they all come here!"

"..." Yukino had nothing to say about Haruki's keeping the secret.

When they felt that it was almost time, Hayato Hayama, Yumiko Miura and Yuigahama Yui returned to the [Service Club]. Just as Haruki requested, Hayato Hayama went over to chat for a while, and then came back when he felt it was almost time. Yuigahama Yui and Miura Yumiko on the side were responsible for finding out what the news was from the side, and helping to record their chat.

"So what did you understand?" Seeing that everyone had arrived and surrounded Haruki, Yukino asked Haruki for the result again.

"It's actually very simple. There's no valuable information in what I said before..." This refers to the fact that Himena Ebina is a fujoshi.

"The most valuable part is actually the last few seconds."

"What do you mean? Huh? What are you talking about at this time? Stop joking like that!" Yuigahama Yui obviously had the wrong idea, but what on earth is going on in the mind of a girl like you!

"Um...what does that mean?" Hayato Hayama also looked at Haruki in confusion.

Yukino frowned and looked at Haruki, who had been silent. Is it really that difficult to be simple and direct?

"That is to say, after Ye Shan left, that is, when you were not there, did you pay attention to the status of those three people?" Haruki asked Ye Shan Hayato.

"No, I haven't paid special attention to it..." said Hayato Hayama.

"I just said that when the three of them are together, they don't act like good friends at all. They can't even be called friends. As soon as you leave their circle, they start playing with their phones and have no desire to say a word to each other!" Haruki subconsciously glanced at Yukino next to him. Okay, let's put it more simply...

"To put it simply, Hayama-san is a friend of the three of them, but the three of them are friends of friends to each other."

"Ah! Now I understand perfectly..." Yuigahama Yui understood, and that made things easier. "If the person at the center of the conversation isn't there, the atmosphere becomes really awkward. I don't know what to do, so I just play with my phone."

"Yeah." Hayato Hayama also agreed with Haruki's analysis. These were indeed angles he had not thought of before.

Yukino, who was standing next to her, looked at Yuigahama Yui and nodded, seemingly understanding.

"Even if what you said is true, it will only strengthen the motives of the three of them. If we don't find the culprit thoroughly, this matter will not end here."

Although Yukino understood what Haruki meant, it didn't seem to help her solve the problem.

"Mr. Hayama, let me confirm again. What you want is to resolve this matter and restore the atmosphere in the class. In other words, you want them to no longer be embarrassed like this. So there is no need to find the culprit, and there will be no more disputes. You can only find a way for them to get along in a friendly manner, right?" Haruki looked at Hayato Hayama and asked.

"Well, I've said it before, I never thought about finding out who the criminal is. I just hope that everyone can get along well, that's all." Hayato Hayama also understood that Haruki really understood his thoughts, and was not like a certain young lady next to him who was obsessed with bringing the criminal to justice.

"It's simple. Why don't you just tell them you don't want to team up with them? No one will stand a chance, so no one will be kicked out. And as the center of the group, it won't matter if you don't team up with them. The distance between the three of them and you won't change. There won't be any conflicts or contradictions. Simple and straightforward, isn't it?"

Haruki looked at Hayato Hayama and the others beside him.

"..."

Chapter 308: Magical Power of Unknown Origin

"Well, I see..."

Haruki has explained it so clearly, so Hayato Hayama naturally has no questions, so he can just announce it directly before the lunch break is over.

The problem of chain messages was finally solved temporarily, and lunch break was about to end, so everyone in the [Service Club] returned to the classroom to prepare for class.

However, Miura Yumiko always seemed to feel that she had something to say to the future, but she didn't dare to say it. Haruki didn't care about her. The main reason was that she was a teacher in the school after all, so she couldn't go too far. In addition, she couldn't squander her abilities as casually as before. In short, Haruki would put Miura Yumiko aside for a while and talk about it after his condition got better.

In the afternoon, since Shizuka Hiratsuka always had classes, Haruki naturally didn't want to disturb her. He just stayed in the activity room of the [Service Club], swiping his phone and casually checking the news to see if there were any other strange things happening recently.

According to current experience, those supernatural events that occur should be related to magic, and magic is related to adolescent students, so these common events should all happen around students.

But if that's the case, how do we explain those recently missing PE teachers? They're not exactly young people anymore. Even the youngest guys are already in their twenties when they graduate from PE school. It's true that some may have been delayed, almost like late bloomers.

All in all, there is still too little information.

Looking at the heat waves rising from the earth scorched by the scorching sun outside the window, it turns out that it is more comfortable to stay indoors.

Suddenly, when Haruki was about to get up and stretch his muscles, an inexplicable feeling of refreshment rushed to his head. Was it the feeling of regaining strength?

It has been a long time since I felt so refreshed. I remember the last time I felt so comfortable was when I gained a lot of weight. At that time, I was so happy that I even fainted. But now Haruki has grown a lot. If it happens again, he will definitely not be so embarrassed.

After closing his eyes for a moment to let go of this huge magical power that came from nowhere, Haruki was willing to withdraw his thoughts. But where did it come from, and the amount was so huge? You have to know that Haruki had been in school for so long, but it was still not as real as that moment just now. Even the 5% before was just a little bit accumulated from the school and the library, but the feeling just now...

Haruki turned his attention to himself so he could see how much his magic power had increased.

“20%!!!??”

Yaohui couldn't believe his eyes. How could the amount increase by 15% all of a sudden? How could it be so much? And where did all this come from?

After thinking for a long time, Yaohui still had no clue. This was too weird. Could so much magic power appear for no reason?

If you think about it carefully, there must be some details that Yaohui missed, and it should be a very crucial detail.

The magic power comes from adolescent students. Even under normal circumstances, they will involuntarily emit some magic power. What Yaohui collects from everywhere every day is this naturally emitted bulk magic power.

Another thing is that when doing it with Shizuka Hiratsuka, some magic power will be released when the other person's emotions reach the peak, which will not happen normally.

And then there is... direct contact?

Haruki remembered that when he shook hands with Yukino that day, a lot of magic power came from her body. Although it was nothing compared to the current amount, Haruki was extremely short of magic power, so he was naturally happy to accept it. At that time, the magic power released by Yukino was much more than that of others. However, it seems that the amount of magic power released by Yukino in the past two days is not that large?

It may also be that Haruki absorbed too much of Yukino's energy, so he developed resistance. In addition, his own magic power was not as limited as before, so his natural perception became a little dull.

After going back and forth, it was time to go home from school. Yukino walked into the activity room of the [Service Club] with her schoolbag as usual, then put the schoolbag on the windowsill, sat on the chair under the window, took out her reading material and started reading. It seemed that she could see that Haruki was thinking about something, so she didn't say anything to Haruki after all the actions. She just couldn't help but sneak a peek at Haruki a few times, and then went back to reading, just like a cat...

"Ya hello!!!"

The pink-haired Yuigahama Yui makes another shining appearance.

"Eh? Haruki... Teacher hasn't left yet?" Yuigahama Yui asked Haruki who was looking very distressed. She was not used to this title in the first place, and it became even more awkward after knowing that Haruki's age was not much different from hers. However, Haruki didn't care. It was awkward, so to speak. After all, she was a teacher, and letting students call her by her name might cause problems if others knew about it.

"Well, I'm waiting for Ms. Hiratsuka. Her last class should be yours, right?" Haruki looked at the cute girl with a backpack. Hmm, nice legs...

"That's right, but it looks like she'll have to wait a while before she can get away. Some students in the class didn't do their homework, and she's really pissed them off. I think she's probably scolding them right now..."

Yuigahama Yui started to sweat when she thought about this. It was really pitiful that a good teacher was forced into that state by this group of students.

"Hey! Haruki-sensei!"

Before seeing the person, I heard his voice first. Hayato Hayama and Yumiko Miura, who always followed him, walked in one after another, each carrying a schoolbag.

It turns out to be a people problem. When Hayato Hayama calls Haruki, there is not a bit of awkwardness in his voice. You damned little thing, I think you really deserve to be rubbed!

"Well, how was the result? It should have gone smoothly, right?" Haruki nodded at the two of them, then looked at Hayato Hayama who was smiling in front of him and asked. After all, it was his idea, and the dog-headed military advisor had to take responsibility and at least ask about the situation to show some concern.

"Well! Thanks to you, the problem has been solved successfully. Thank you!" Hayato Hayama's words also made the atmosphere in the activity room much more positive. See, it was just a human problem.

"It's just a small matter. I'm just giving you some advice based on my experience. I didn't do anything special. Besides, I'm your teacher after all, and your class is taught by Mr. Hiratsuka. You don't have to be so polite."
