Perhaps moved by the girl's well-reasoned statement, Touka Takanashi's expression did seem much more relaxed.
"Thank you for your guidance, classmate. I hope that Liuhua will be able to do the jobs you mentioned in the future..." She sighed, then her expression softened, no longer as cold and sharp as before, and asked in a friendly manner: "It's still early, do you want to come to my house for a cup of tea and something to eat? I'm a chef by profession, so I have some confidence in cooking."
Originally, Yamada Fairy didn't want to go into this much depth. After all, she had already completed the "informing and discussing matters regarding grades" and "discussing the student's future with the guardian" that were supposed to be done during a home visit. It could be said that this home visit was a complete success.
But because she still cared about something, she nodded: "Then I'll be rude to bother you!"
She glanced at Rikka Takanashi, who seemed to be a little lost, and quickly walked over to her and pulled her aside: "Let's go, there's nothing to see in the park at night~"
When seeing this scene, Touka Takanashi's eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness. She was probably quite satisfied with the Yamada fairy.
After all, judging from her dress, Fairy Yamada seems to be of the same type as Rikka Takanashi, but when they really start chatting, the other party does not speak like her sister, who talks in a weird and nonsensical way. Instead, she has a strong aura and is well-organized, without any trace of the second-year syndrome.
Considering that the other party can be assigned tasks by the Student Union, he must be a very powerful character. With such a person around, and also having a certain goodwill towards Rikka, Rikka's life in school will be much better.
Thinking of this, Touka Takanashi became even more motivated.
The apartment where the Takanashi sisters live now is an old-fashioned multi-storey apartment. It is not very large and a bit cramped for the fairy Yamada who has lived in Washimiya Ryo. However, she did not comment on it. Instead, she looked at everything in the house with curiosity.
This small apartment is full of traces of the sisters' lives, and is filled with the flavor of life. In comparison, Yamada Fairy's house lacks such vitality - she left more traces in Shiki's house than in her own house...
From the perspective of ordinary people, Touka Takanashi's cooking skills are actually quite good, probably at the level of a second chef in a high-end restaurant. If the restaurant does not have any signature dish, she might even be qualified to be the head chef.
But for the Yamada fairy who can enjoy food made in all four seasons every day, this level of cooking skills is not good enough. Even the fairy herself has cooking skills that are not inferior to the other party.
But of course she wouldn't be stupid enough to say such words in front of the other person, and in the end she simply praised the taste, saying it was good. Touka Takanashi seemed to see that she was not being sincere, but didn't say anything. She just tasted her own food over and over again, as if trying to find out what made the Yamada fairy dissatisfied.
After dinner, Fairy Yamada chatted for a while with Rikka Takanashi, who was blocked in the room by Touka and forbidden to go out.
However, unlike her lively and cheerful appearance in the park before, at this moment, Rikka Takanashi was obviously absent-minded, as if she was concerned about something else.
So after saying a few insignificant words and getting an insignificant response from the other party, Yamada the Fairy suddenly asked, "What did you see just now?"
"W, what?" Rikka Takanashi was stunned, and the absent-minded feeling finally disappeared. She looked at the Yamada Fairy with some nervousness and vigilance.
"At first I thought you saw Miss Juhua, so you suddenly acted a little surprised and scared at that time... But now it seems that this is not the case."
Fairy Yamada thought about what happened after she met the other party, and was sure that the only chance that could have caused her to become so confused and dazed was the moment before she met Touka, so she asked this question.
However, the girl could also confirm that, apart from the three of them, there should be no one else in the park at that time.
Could it be that some strange animal was seen in the corner of the park?
The lighting in the scene was dim at the time, so maybe there were some strange creatures in the corners, like a wild hammer snake?
Rikka Takanashi was silent for a long time, so long that Fairy Yamada even thought she was about to fall asleep with her eyes open, then she shook her head.
"No." She said in a dull tone, insisting: "The Evil King's True Eyes didn't see anything."
Chapter 265: Beautiful Girls Also Need to Go to the Toilet
Four Seasons knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened, revealing a face that looked a little tired.
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at him and said, "So what's the matter?"
If it was someone else knocking on the door, Kasumigaoka Utaha would not bother to open it - thanks to the NHK bill collectors, most people who are tired of harassment can develop the mentality of being able to sit back and relax even if someone knocks on the door - but Shiki, who saved her once, is a different story. At least her self-esteem prevents her from pretending not to be at home when facing her benefactor.
Perhaps it was because of this kind of personality that she was so easily at a disadvantage when facing Tomoya Aki.
"Didn't I tell you in the text message I sent you in advance? It's a home visit."
Shiki replied nonchalantly.
"Is there no one left in Toyonosaki? Let's not talk about the teachers, even if we go by order, the student council should be first, right?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha said coldly.
"So I'm now a temporary member of the student union." Si Ji spread his hands and said, "Won't you invite me in and sit for a while?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha was silent for a moment and shook her head: "It's not very convenient now."
"Can you focus on what's inconvenient?" Si Ji asked.
"Has anyone ever told you that you're annoying?"
"Not really. People who know me well will say that I have the same depth as chewing gum that becomes more delicious the more you chew it!"
"No, I think they just think you're clingy, right?" Kasumigaoka Utaha pointed out the fact coldly: "Gum loses its flavor after being chewed for a while."
"A shocking truth was suddenly revealed as if nothing had happened?!"
Shiki showed a look of bewilderment: "So it's not a good thing for them to say I'm the curry in the sumo pot?"
"Sumo pots don't usually have curry in them," Kasumigaoka Utaha replied, "In that case it wouldn't be a sumo pot, it would be a normal curry pot, right?"
She looked at Shiki's exaggerated expression and sighed helplessly: "Stop saying such stupid things. Come in if you want, but don't say anything even if you see something strange, understand."
"Don't worry, I won't say anything until my lawyer comes."
"Why are you saying this with the premise of being arrested..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at him, and finally walked into the house first with her long legs, making Shiki happily follow her in.
But unfortunately, he didn't find anything strange in Kasumigaoka Utaha's house. Even the scattered panties that you usually see when visiting the homes of women living alone were not there. Kasumigaoka's house was quite clean and tidy.
"Why are you feeling so lost..." Looking at Shiki who seemed to have suffered a great shock, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes turned cold.
"Let's put everything else aside. Why not hang a used black silk on the sofa? Isn't this a customary event?"
The Four Seasons has incredible earthquake soundtrack.
"In which era, country, or region is this a customary practice?" Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms across her chest, showing off her plump fruit, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Where is the home visit you agreed to? If you just come here to be annoying, then I will kick you out now."
"Okay, let's follow the procedure..."
Si Ji found a random seat and sat down. He took out the transcript from the file and said in a lackluster voice, "Your score in this exam has dropped a lot compared to before."
"But the standard deviation value for admission is still met, so this degree of error is not a problem." Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't care.
"What about your attendance record at school? Although I understand that you may be a little reluctant about going to school, I still hope that you can continue to attend if possible. Rumors will not disappear just because you avoid them. If you really run into trouble, I will definitely help you."
Si Ji put away his previous frivolous expression and spoke seriously.
"That's a matter of mood...Okay, I'll go back to class when I feel better. Are you satisfied with that?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little annoyed. It was obvious that Shiki was not the first person to preach to her. It was just that when people were in a bad mood, even if they knew that the other person was right, it would only make them feel worse. "In this way, the work assigned to you by the Student Union has been completed. If there is nothing else, please go back."
"The work of the student union is done, so now is what I want to say to you personally."
Si Ji casually placed the information in his hand on the table: "Regarding the script you gave me before, I took it to game practitioners for evaluation. They are very optimistic about your script and hope that you can sign it."
"That's something that's been given to you. It doesn't matter what you do with it."
Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head and had no intention of signing her name.
Si Ji took out a bulging envelope from his pocket and put it on the table: "This is the money for buying out the copyright."
The girl stared at Si Ji with an unfriendly look. After all, what Si Ji did was equivalent to not accepting her gratitude and was a betrayal of her kindness.
"It's better to make clear things like copyright." Si Ji was not afraid of her accusing gaze.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to say something, but paused with a grim expression.
"I'm going to pick some flowers." She said with difficulty and then hurriedly left the room.
Si Ji was also stunned for a moment by such an anticlimactic negotiation, but the reality is not the second dimension. People have three urgent needs. No matter how beautiful a girl is, she has basic physiological needs. It is not strange.
After a while, when Shiki was almost bored to the point of wanting to ask his stand-in to go through the wall to see if he could find anything good, Kasumigaoka Utaha leisurely returned to the room.
"Regarding the game you just mentioned, can I go visit that studio and take a look at the production process?" After coming back, Kasumigaoka Utaha changed her tone and asked in a slightly more enthusiastic tone.
"Of course there's no problem with that." Si Ji agreed directly. After all, he had an offer from Maple Leaf Technology and could go to its subordinate game studios for 'research' at will.
"That's good. We don't have any drinks at home... Is barley tea okay?"
"Yes, yes..."
Shiki looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose movements seemed a lot lighter, and felt that her mood inexplicably improved after she went to the toilet.
Could it be that the reason she looked so depressed before had nothing to do with what happened at school, but was just because of constipation?
…I always feel like something is wrong.
Si Ji thought about it, and while the other party was pouring barley tea, he took out the Puberty Syndrome Notebook and opened it directly.
Chapter 266: Perfect Kasumi Shiko
Sure enough, new words had appeared on the blank pages of the notebook.
[The syndrome of the evil king's true eye: an ability that blossomed and bore fruit because of that heavy expectation, but is everything that this eye sees really what she expected? ]
[Prescription for illness: Rikka Kotori]
……
[Double Body Syndrome: Legend has it that there is always someone in the world who looks exactly like you. When you meet that person, it means that you are about to die. When such a person really appears, can you still maintain your determination to hate yourself? ]
[Prescription for the Sick: Kasumigaoka Utaha]
Not only did Kasumigaoka Utaha's situation appear, but even the puberty syndrome of Rikka Takanashi, who was only a fairy, also appeared?
It seems that the current situation is more complicated than I initially thought. I will have to wait until I reunite with the fairy to know the details.
"Why are you suddenly silent?"
After pouring him some barley tea, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly asked, "Washimiya-kun seems to be a little quieter than usual right now."
"Because I feel a little uncomfortable being treated so gently by Kasumigaoka-senpai."
Si Ji replied seriously, "Can I ask why Senior's mentality suddenly changed so much?"
Judging from the words "Double Body Syndrome" in the notes and the almost explicit hint, Shiki already roughly understood why Kasumigaoka Utaha's personality suddenly changed. From the beginning, she would resist whatever he said, but now she seems to have a strong curiosity about everything and is not easily discouraged by setbacks.
To describe it more vividly, it is like a little hedgehog suddenly turns into a puppy. Although they are both cute, they are essentially different.
But the matter of puberty syndrome obviously cannot be brought up directly, so Si Ji can only try to understand the current situation in a roundabout way.
Was Kasumigaoka Utaha replaced psychologically, or was her body swapped with a 'duplicate' as well?
Shiki at least wants to make that clear.
"I just think that this won't work. If there's no way to change, 'Kasumigaoka Utaha' will eventually become the kind of person I hate."
The girl sat down opposite Shiki and spoke as if nothing had happened while squinting her eyes and taking a few sips of barley tea.
"I'd like to hear the details." Si Ji expressed his willingness to be a qualified listener and asked the other party to speak.
"Washimiya-kun, what is your first impression of 'Kasumigaoka Utaha'?" But the girl did not answer directly. Instead, she looked at Shiki with her wine-red eyes and asked back.
"...a proud girl."
It's not tsundere, that's Eriri. The initial impression given by Kasumigaoka Utaha is closer to the synonym of pride, as if she has a strong confidence in herself. At first glance, she even gives people a feeling of Xiaoqiu Lingfupei.
Yes, at first glance.
"You don't really think so, do you?" Kasumigaoka Utaha seemed to have guessed what Shiki was thinking: "Because Washimiya-kun is surprisingly perceptive. You've already seen that the real Kasumigaoka Utaha is actually a weak person who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. She is just trying hard to play the role of an excellent student."
"Based on your grades alone, you can still be called excellent, and your achievements as a light novel writer are something that many people would never be able to achieve in their lifetime. If you weren't in Fengzhizaki, you would be a true top student no matter which school you went to."
Four Seasons comforted.
"No, even if that's the case, I'm not as good as most people think... I'm afraid of failure, I worry about the sales of my light novels, I subconsciously live like a flower on the mountain top in the eyes of others, I regard the person who helped me out when I was down as my prince charming, and I treat myself as humble as a puppy in relationships... Would a person who is truly confident and proud be like this?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha shook her head and asserted: "Kasumigaoka Utaha is just a coward. She hates herself for being like this and doesn't want to bear the increasingly heavy mask, so I was born."
"I will be more cheerful than before, I will have a real pride that is hard to extinguish, I will have a stronger determination, I will no longer rely on anyone, and my heart will not be as fragile as glass as before."
"This is the perfect Kasumi Shiko, the complete Kasumigaoka Shiha, the complete me!"
"I see." Shiki, who was originally a little unsure about Kasumigaoka Utaha's state, now understood. But because of this, he was relieved: "After all, isn't this still a form of escape? You just hid the side of Kasumigaoka Utaha and replaced it with another so-called 'perfect' personality."
"There is no such saying," the girl took a sip of barley tea leisurely, "No matter from DNA, psychological cognition or other aspects, I am Kasumigaoka Utaha. And Washimiya-kun, don't you think that I am easier to deal with now than the thorny me in the past? I just became better, which is not a problem, right?"
"Maybe. But to be honest, I don't hate the old Kasumigaoka Utaha."
Si Ji touched his chin and began to feel a little tricky.
After all, considering Kasumigaoka Utaha's current condition, 'she' is indeed better than 'she' in the past.
If it weren't for the Puberty Syndrome Notes, which could confirm that her current state was just a 'symptom' of the onset of the disease, and not the state of Kasumigaoka Utaha after her enlightenment, Shiki might have felt that she was better this way and there was no need to change back.
"Regarding the game, please contact me after you have some news from Washimiya-kun. I still have to apologize to Machida-san and the others for their negligence during this period. I'm sure my readers are getting a little anxious waiting. It's time to prepare the latest volume of "Love Metronome". In addition, if Yamada Fairy-san still wants to make a bet, I can continue to accompany you."
The girl blinked playfully and said happily to Shiki who was somewhat speechless.
