What does it have to do with me if they hate vests?

Si Ji drank a sip of barley tea with some distress. If it was a business negotiation, he would have many ways to refute the other party, but now because of various constraints, he couldn't use his strength and it was very uncomfortable.

It seems that for now I can only meet up with the Yamada fairy and exchange information about the situation on both sides.

Anyway, Kasumigaoka Utaha seems to have become much friendlier now, so it shouldn't be that difficult to negotiate again later.

Chapter 267 Non-paranormal phenomena

"I have completed the home visit part. Rikka Takanashi is surprisingly easy to communicate with. Her sister, Miss Juuka, is also a very nice person."

As the sky gradually darkened, Yamada Fairy walked alone on the brightly lit street, talking on the phone to Shiki.

She paused, looked at the neon lights on the street and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't know if it's my illusion... I always feel that during the home visit, Liuhua's attitude suddenly became a little strange..."

Because there was no basis for her statement and it could only be her own conjecture, which might even be suspected of speaking ill of someone behind their back, the girl did not intend to speak out the strange feeling she had felt at first.

But when the warm and mellow voice of Si Ji praising and soothing her flowed past her ears, the girl could not help but express her doubts.

She originally thought that Si Ji would not care. After all, the other party seemed to have only accepted a home visit commission from the Student Union, and such things had nothing to do with work.

But what he didn't expect was that Si Ji on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then asked in a deep voice: "What do you think is strange?"

The girl who had lived with Shiki for some time could tell that the other party was not just being perfunctory, but was asking seriously and even solemnly.

This made the girl feel a warm current flowing quietly in her heart, and she felt that she was valued.

She briefly recounted what happened after she met Rikka, and emphasized the look in her eyes, as if she had seen something terrible, and the way she shrank in fear.

She didn't feel it when she was with the Kotori sisters, but now when she was walking alone on the street and recalled that scene again, Yamada Fairy couldn't help but shiver.

"Do you think there really are such supernatural beings in this world?" She unconsciously held the phone tightly. This phone that could play the sounds of the four seasons was her only source of security.

"No. I promise."

Si Ji said without hesitation, and this materialistic judgment made the girl feel subtly relieved.

"Is that so? Actually, I think so too! And even if there are ghosts, there's nothing to be afraid of. After all, they are the remains of dead people. I'm not even afraid of living people, so how can I be afraid of the remains of living people!"

The girl patted her chest as if to give herself courage and said.

It’s a pity that the pedestrians on the street were either focused on their nightlife or on their mobile phones, and no one saw this lovely scene of the girl.

"By the way, you just said that you had already had dinner, right?" Si Ji asked her on the other end of the phone.

"Well, although it wasn't my initiative, I couldn't refuse your kindness..."

Yamada Fairy said with some regret.

Compared to Touka Takanashi's cooking, she still prefers the dinner made by Shiki. Not to mention that the latter's cooking skills are much better than the former's, even if the two of them are at the same level, Fairy Yamada will choose the one made by Shiki without hesitation. If possible, she feels that she will never get tired of it even if she eats it for the rest of her life.

"If you don't need to make dinner today, you'll have plenty of free time in the evening," Shiki's voice sounded a little cheerful on the phone. "In that case, Emily, if you're free, don't go back to Washimiya-ryo yet. Go to Shimokitazawa. I'll wait for you at the train station."

"Huh? That's no problem...but what's going on over there?" asked Yamada Fairy curiously.

"Just think of it as a date."

"Isn't it a bit strange to choose a date place? Although I don't mind..."

Fairy Yamada did not hesitate and followed Shiki's instructions and boarded the train to Shimokitazawa.

Si Ji on the other side also put away his phone.

Based on the records in the Puberty Syndrome Notes and what Yamada Fairy had seen and heard, he could probably understand Rikka Takanashi's situation.

"At first I thought it was some kind of supernatural phenomenon that would cause trouble... Well, it is indeed a supernatural phenomenon now, but the scale is still within the controllable range."

Si Ji originally thought that the name "Adolescence Syndrome" was just a simple psychological disease, so he spent influence points to buy this notebook. However, he found out that this thing is a wolf in sheep's clothing. The so-called Adolescence Syndrome is actually a disease that will show supernatural phenomena, and it may even be related to supernatural phenomena. If ghosts and monsters appear in the world because of this trivial matter, Si Ji will really want to strangle himself yesterday.

But after experiencing the situations of Mai Sakurajima, Utaha Kasumigaoka, and Rikka Takanashi, who had not yet confirmed it with her own eyes but had obtained information from the fairy Yamada, he picked up his initial guess again.

'Adolescence syndrome' is a mental illness: Kasumigaoka Utaha's 'duplicate' is a dual personality, and what Rikka Takanashi sees with her 'True Evil Eye' is probably just based on her inner hallucinations. The only case is that of Mai Sakurajima, which is a bit supernatural on a small scale, polluting the psychological cognition of people around her and making them unable to recognize her existence.

In this case, the only way to solve the problem is to prescribe the right medicine.

However, there is one point that needs to be noted, that is, it cannot be "Washimiya Shiki" who is the only one to solve the problem. As the instigator of this incident, it is better for him not to be too involved with the victims.

It is better to let your real self be responsible for one and let the others be handled by your aliases.

Moreover, Shiki has already decided which one of his original bodies he will be responsible for. It is undoubtedly Kasumigaoka Utaha. After all, the other party has almost made it clear that he is the second personality. From the moment he knew this, Shiki has been involved.

"Also, judging from what Emily said, Rikka should have never really seen anything strange through the so-called Evil King's True Eyes before. In other words, this situation only occurred after she came into contact with Emily, or the observer influenced by me. Not only that, Kasumigaoka was also suddenly replaced by the second personality while talking to me..."

At this point, the answer to the original question is very obvious. Adolescent syndrome is similar to Schrödinger's cat. It may be related to quantum mechanics to some extent. Only at the moment of observation will some psychological unhealthy aspects of the observer be manifested in some form.

In this case, it would be better to not contact the last two people for the time being. It would be better to resolve the problems of the three people who have already shown symptoms before doing the final finishing touches.

"We'll talk about this kind of troublesome things later!" Si Ji rubbed his face to make his expression less stiff: "Compared to this, let's go to the live performance of the Ending Band with Emily to relax!"

Chapter 268 Healing Moment

"Is this the date you were talking about?"

The Yamada fairy looked at Shiki with resentment in her cute half-moon eyes.

The noisy livehouse made it impossible to calm down. In addition, STARRY’s ventilation was not very good, and various smells mixed together. It was undoubtedly a test for those who were not used to watching underground live performances.

If it weren't for STARRY's store manager Ijichi Hoshika who kept the store clean and tidy and strictly prohibited smoking, the environment here would probably be many times worse.

"It's nice to go on a date and listen to live music together, doesn't Emily like rock music?"

Shiki withdrew his gaze from the stage. The band performing at that moment was a band he didn't recognize. For some reason, the four male band members were all wearing strange chestnut headgear.

“It’s not a question of whether I like it or not…”

The blonde girl sighed but answered honestly, "If I have to say, I prefer anime pop songs. But my family arranged for me to learn piano when I was a child, so I can also appreciate classical music... As for rock, if it's a pop style, it's okay, but heavy metal and above are all out."

"I don't really appreciate that either." Si Ji nodded: "Don't worry, no one usually performs heavy metal in such a small livehouse."

After all, the smaller the space, the more severe the echo, and even with some sound-absorbing building materials it cannot be completely avoided. STARRY's specifications are more than enough for ordinary live performances, but if you insist on playing heavy metal or even death metal, the only result will be severe echoes that give everyone a headache.

"I'm sorry that my livehouse is so small."

Just as Shiki was explaining the fairy to Yamada, an unfriendly voice came from behind him.

"Ms. Xingge, long time no see." Si Ji turned around and greeted her with a bright smile.

Then he introduced to Yamada Fairy: "This is the manager of this livehouse, Ms. Ijichi Hoshika."

"Hello, I'm Yamada Fairy." The fairy extended his hand to the other party generously.

"Yamada Fairy? Real name? Stage name?" Ijichi Hoshika asked while shaking hands with her subconsciously.

It is not surprising to have such a reaction. After all, the name Yamada Fairy does sound very incongruous.

"Pen name." The girl replied, "I'm a light novel writer."

"I will definitely read your masterpiece when I have some free time."

Ijichi Hoshika gave a very perfunctory smile of an adult. Judging from the fact that she didn't even ask what Yamada Fairy wrote, she probably wouldn't really look for it to read.

"But speaking of which," Ijichi Hoshika looked at the Yamada Fairy and said with a smile on her face, "I always thought that you and Goto were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, Washimiya."

“What…” The Yamada fairy widened her eyes, her light pink eyes full of astonishment.

She had once captured Goto Ichiri as the BGM for text messages, so of course she knew him. But after Goto Ichiri formed a band and had his own life, Yamada Fairy stopped bothering him casually. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the people here, Shiki and that child actually had that kind of relationship?

Thinking of Ichiri's body, which looked thin despite the clothes she wore, but was actually very well-endowed, Yamada Fairy suddenly felt a little threatened.

"Yili? That child is indeed a little worrying."

Shiki pretended not to hear Ichichi Hoshika's words: "That's why I came to watch their live today."

"Then you are lucky. They will be next."

Ichichi Hoshige said as he patted Shiki on the back.

Because Shiki often came to STARRY for a period of time, Ijichi Hoshige was quite familiar with him, so this level of intimate behavior was nothing special.

"Oh? This time he's not just warming up or filling in garbage time, but has his own position?" Si Ji asked in surprise.

"Of course. It seems that after participating in your school's festival, Hongxia and the others' level has improved a lot. They can now perform as a formal band... although their level is not stable enough and they still fail occasionally." Xingge said with emotion.

Shiki couldn't help but feel a little relieved. He felt as if he had just looked away for a moment, and Goto Ichiri and the others had suddenly grown up a lot.

As they were talking, the chestnut-haired boys seemed to have finished their performance and left the stage, and the four people who ended the band came on stage next.

Compared to the initial situation when they were still adjusting to each other, the four of them are now much more capable. In addition, they have experience performing in front of hundreds of people at the Toyotsu Festival, so they now seem to be more at ease when facing an audience of less than a hundred people.

This wonderful sense of growth makes Si Ji feel quite satisfied.

At this time, Goto Ichiri, who was preparing to adjust the microphone on the stage, suddenly saw Shiki in the audience. His face lit up and he was about to say hello, but he saw Yamada Fairy behind Shiki looking at him kindly. The greeting was stuck in his throat, and his body shivered subconsciously and he took a half step back, accidentally kicking the speaker cable.

“Gah—?!”

Accompanied by a sharp electric sound, the audience covered their ears and looked at the embarrassed Goto Ichiri with kind smiles.

"Really, what is that idiot doing..." Ijichi Hoshika sighed.

"It seems that Ichiri-chan still needs some time to grow up." Shiki didn't care. He just looked at Goto Ichiri, who was almost melting because of his embarrassment on the stage, and said with a smile.

How should I put it, there have been a lot of troubles recently. He clearly intended to be a quiet and indifferent person, but he always gets dragged into troubles for some inexplicable reasons - well, there is also the factor of his own clumsy hands.

In short, at this time, only the atmosphere of the four little ones who ended the band remained the same as before. Just by looking at them, Si Ji could feel healed.

Maybe this is why he suddenly dragged Yamada Fairy to watch the live show.

Fortunately, the people who finished the band had already mastered the skills to coax Goto Ichiri. Even though Goto Ichiri was socially awkward this time, he was quickly coaxed back by them and completed the preparations quickly without delaying for too long, causing much trouble for the bands waiting to perform behind.

Of course, after something like this happened, we couldn't expect them to perform above their normal level this time. It would be better to say that being able to maintain a normal level would be a qualitative leap in Goto Ichiri's mental toughness...

Even so, at the end, the audience gave them warm applause and expressed their satisfaction with their performance.

Even Yamada Fairy forgot about her anger halfway through and cheered for them with her fans in the end.

Chapter 269: Cute Rabbit

As the store manager of STARRY, it is impossible for Ijichi Hoshige to always have time to chat with Shiki and the others.

After the band's performance, she left first, knowing that the little ones would come to find Siji.

"Speaking of which, I always feel like I've forgotten something."

Yamada the Fairy counted on his fingers and muttered to himself, "The daily routine of good morning kisses, rolling around idly on Shiki's bed, and making sounds while doing Shiki's laundry..."

"You actually did such a thing..."

Si Ji couldn't help but complain.

"After all, you're not at home for most of the day after school, so I have to find something to take care of myself!"

Yamada Fairy said confidently.

After she finished speaking, she murmured with some resentment: "The detergents these days are too strong. After washing, there is no smell left except the smell of detergent. I can only enjoy the original smell before washing..."

Si Ji thought about it and decided to pretend that he didn't hear the girl's thoughts on the use.

At this moment, the Yamada Fairy suddenly tapped his palms and suddenly realized: "Oh, right, we forgot Miss Yukino at home!"

Because he had already had dinner at Kotori Yu's house, Shiki brought her directly to STARRY to watch the live show, but the problem was that Yukinoshita Yukino was still waiting at home...

"On that note, I suggest you look in that direction."

Shiki pointed in the direction behind the Yamada fairy.

The girl turned around and looked in the direction he pointed, and was shocked to find that in the corner of STARRY, Yukinoshita Yukino was huddled in the corner with a drink in her hand and an unhappy look on her face.

"Ms. Yukino?!" Fairy Yamada was shocked.

Yukinoshita Yukino heard her voice, looked over here, gave Shiki a resentful look, then waved her hand weakly, with no intention of coming over to join them.

The fairy was a little confused about this: "Why is Miss Yukino here?"

"That's of course because she also bought the tickets for the band's live show." Si Ji answered as a matter of course.

Some time ago at school, when Goto Ichiri was still wondering what to do with the ticket assigned to her, Shiki and Yukinoshita Yukino bought one each.

However, compared with the enthusiastic Shiki, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't seem to have any intention of coming to see it at first - the cost of taking the train from Washimiya-ryo area to Shimokitazawa was a considerable burden for the cash-strapped girl.

As a result, today Shiki informed her that the dinner was cancelled at the last minute, but if she could come to Shimokitazawa to watch the live, he could treat her to a meal outside after the live. The girl had no choice but to hold her purse and go out.

The reason why I didn't come over to join them right now was probably because I wanted to show my final stubbornness, saying "I'm just here to watch the live show, I don't care about the meal you're going to treat me to."

"Ah, it's been a while since I last saw you, Washimiya-kun, and the pink fairy lady~"
