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

four seasons:"……"

No, why does it act like I'm the target?

Si Ji couldn't help but start to reflect.

I examine myself three times a day and find that I am wrong but I don't correct it.

Si Ji cleaned up the table - it was now around eight o'clock in the evening and dinner had been over for some time - then he picked up a book and leaned back on the sofa to read it.

Compared to the more convenient mobile phones, Si Ji personally prefers the weight of paper books, the unique scent of pages and ink, and the unique rustling sound and feel when turning pages.

"Hey~"

Before Shiki could read a few pages, Yamada the Fairy sat down next to him, leaned against him and started reading the comics.

"Don't you feel uncomfortable in this posture?" Si Ji asked with a smile.

"But I heard that if it's a hugging posture, because the human heart is on the right side, it will make the hearts farther apart."

The girl hesitated.

As she spoke, she gave a special demonstration by hanging in Siji's arms like a koala, allowing Siji to feel the so-called soft jade and warm fragrance for a moment.

But Mr. Si Ji, who was unmoved, said seriously, "No, I didn't say that we should read in a hugging position."

Then he added, "And even if we're facing each other's backs, our hearts are still misaligned, so it's no different from a hug, right?"

"Eh, that's weird..."

Yamada Fairy thought about it, then showed an expression as if he had given up thinking.

She lay on the sofa like a hunting cat, and just when Si Ji thought that this guy had given up this strange behavior that he had seen on TV, the girl suddenly pounced on Si Ji and hugged his back: "This way, the distance between our hearts will be the closest!" she declared proudly.

"That being said, how do you read books?" asked Shiki.

"Gu... I didn't expect the size difference would cause such a dilemma."

Yamada Fairy tried to continue reading the comics in this position, but it obviously didn't work, and finally she had to come down from behind Shiki in disappointment.

Si Ji looked at the girl's lost look, sighed helplessly, and patted the edge of the sofa in front of her.

The Yamada Fairy blinked in confusion.

Seeing this, Si Ji hugged her directly and said, "This way we can read the same book together."

"Oh! Oh oh!"

Because the girl was facing away from him, Si Ji couldn't see the expression on her face. He just heard her make a sound that seemed to be affirmative, so he opened the book he had just read.

The title of the book is "Pavlov's Dogs".

Originally, because of the title and cover illustration, Shiki thought that this was a book that used cute illustrations to tell a story about conditioned reflexes and Pavlov's experiment, but it turned out not to be the case. It was actually a light novel.

The plot is about a disgusting otaku who wants to become the dog of Miss Pavlov, a beautiful foreign girl who suddenly transferred to his class.

This makes Shiki feel like he was playing with butter and found out that the heroine was Newton.

What makes Shiki feel even more complicated is that this light novel's description of everyday youth love is quite interesting, and the sweet and sour feeling of first love is quite palatable - and then leaving aside the content that occupies one-third of the whole book, the rest is a training part that focuses on cultivating conditioned reflexes.

You say it is useful, most of it is pseudoscience, and the one being trained is the male protagonist, and without illustrations it is impossible to get hard. If you say it is randomly written, byd it fits the title quite well, and people can't even complain about the random title of the book to gain popularity.

I just wonder if Mr. Pavlov will lift up the lid of his coffin and get up directly after seeing this book in the underworld...

"It's really incomprehensible, isn't it Emily?" Shiki said casually, waiting for the girl's sharp comments.

As a result, the girl who usually liked to criticize the works of new light novelists from the perspective of a senior writer remained silent.

"Emily?" Si Ji was stunned, and looked down at the girl, only to find that she had turned into a mosquito-repellent eye without knowing when: "Why did you faint?"

Chapter 213: Yukinoshita Yukino's Dissatisfaction

After the physical examination, everyone focused their attention on the Fengyin Festival.

As time passed, the appearance of the Fengzhizaki campus continued to change. For example, there were many more stalls, tables, chairs, and parasols in the school lobby, and the curtains behind the stage in the auditorium had been installed.

Except for those members of the sports clubs who have nothing to do with the Toyotsu Festival, almost everyone in the school is full of energy and seems to be planning to make a splash at the Toyotsu Festival.

"Everyone is so enthusiastic. I even heard that the performance club practiced overtime until the evening yesterday. The school security almost mistook them for a suspicious group and called the police."

In the Service Club, Eriri exclaimed that her Art Club and Performance Club were on the same floor, but because the stage art work for the Toyotsu Festival had finally come to an end, the Art Club had been on holiday for the past few days, allowing the members who had worked hard for a week to have a good rest.

As the ace of the art club, she naturally has to watch the atmosphere and cannot appear in the art club activity room. Otherwise, other students will be oppressed by the atmosphere of "Look, Sawamura-kun has worked so hard, how can you rest with peace of mind at your age?" and will have to go to the art club no matter how reluctant they are.

So these past two days, she was busy with some of Kashiwagi Eri's work as an illustrator - mainly because it was not appropriate to bring comic books to school - in the Service Club. Occasionally, she would ask Shiki to help draw the background and color it.

"After all, the opening is imminent. Even if we are confident, those who don't want to lose face at the Fengyin Festival will naturally work harder to cram for the exam."

Shiki said casually as he casually painted the background for her and yawned.

"You look so sleepy?" Eriri asked suspiciously, "Are you doing something weird at night?"

She checked the background of the Four Seasons painting with some concern, but found that it was painted quickly and well, with absolutely no room for criticism.

"No, it's just that there have been too many things going on recently, all mixed up at once, even I'm a little exhausted."

Si Ji yawned again and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I was careless. Next time I will never give myself such a hard job..."

"Hasn't most of the work for the Toyoin Festival been completed? What kind of hard work has made you so tired..."

Eriri muttered as she stared at Shiki with a questioning look.

"Various aspects, such as being enslaved by Kashiwagi Eri," Shiki said casually, "and being treated as a weirdo by the police, who asked, 'How could you let an elementary school student say such things? What did you do to her?' I almost got charged with a new crime."

"You really did attack Ms. Yamada after all..."

Eriri, who had no idea that Shiki had a ten-year-old girl living outside, was shocked.

"Don't be silly, she's even better developed than you."

Shiki retorted sincerely.

"...How do you know how she's developing?" Ying Lili's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Because I'm her landlord." Si Ji answered in a resounding voice.

"There is absolutely no causal relationship between these two things!" the girl was dissatisfied.

"Please perform strange crosstalk in a place where there are no other people."

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly warned, scaring Eriri and causing the paintbrush in her hand to fall crookedly.

Fortunately, she was using a drawing board and immediately withdrew the stroke she had just made. If it had been five to ten years ago when most drawings were made by hand, this piece of manuscript would have been completely wasted.

"Why does this guy look so upset?"

Eriri glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino, whose face seemed to have the words 'don't mess with me' written all over it, and asked Shiki in a low voice.

"Don't you girls have those heavy days every month?" Si Ji replied.

But when Eriri's contemptuous look and Yukinoshita Yukino's knife-like gaze swept over him, he decisively raised his hands in surrender.

"The minister is just unhappy."

"What?" The golden-haired girl with twin ponytails asked happily. It turned out that eating melons is human nature.

"Didn't she reject the request of the Amakusa Student Council President some time ago and not transfer the hosting rights of the Toyotsu Festival to the Student Council?"

Shiki explained, "But at this point, the layout of the school - mainly the booths guaranteed to sponsors and the setting up of various banners and promotional posters - requires a lot of manpower to move and arrange tables, chairs and other things. Obviously, the service department with only two people can't do this, so in the end, the student union helped a little."

In fact, if Si Ji really wanted to do it, it was not impossible. Especially after he recently mastered the words of the Golden Eyes and even his last weakness, durability, was maxed out, long-term heavy physical labor became a drizzle for him.

However, unless he was forced to do so, Si Ji naturally could not do so. It was tiring enough for him to run around three places at normal times.

"So the president feels like he owes the student council a favor, and that's why he feels so unhappy." Shiki whispered to Eriri, but in the not-so-big room of the Service Club, this whisper obviously didn't keep anything secret, and made Yukino look even more dissatisfied, but Shiki seemed oblivious: "If the president was a cat, he would have started to lose his fur by now because of the excessive pressure."

"Swashimiya-kun looks like you have a lot of free time. How about we put up all the banners today?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked with a wry smile.

"I also want to help the great Eriri-sensei paint black..."

Shiki picked up the manuscript in his hand and showed it to Yukinoshita Yukino.

Yukino's gaze fell on Eriri, who immediately jumped up as if her hair stood on end.

She showed a somewhat awkward smile on her face: "Well, I remembered that I have something to do, so I'll leave first!" After saying that, she wanted to take her manuscript back from Siji's hand, but found that the manuscript was held tightly by Siji.

"Don't abandon me!" Shiki signaled to her for help.

"Humans always have to pay the price for their gaffes." The girl showed a mournful expression, then mercilessly snatched back her drawing, quickly packed up her things, and successfully escaped.

Suddenly, Shiki and Yukino were the only ones left in the service club.

Shiki looked at the silent Yukino and gave a dry husky smile.

Yukino sighed helplessly, and then said softly with some dissatisfaction: "I'm not an ogre, is there any need to be so scared?"

"Maybe it's because your expression just now did look a little scary, Minister." Si Ji scratched his head.

Chapter 214: The Farthest Distance of the Real Thing

A silence fell over the service department.

After a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly said: "Actually, I should thank you."

Si Ji didn't realize what was happening and asked stupidly, "What?"

"everything."

Yukino answered seriously.

"Huh, I don't think I was asking about the price..." Si Ji was even more confused.

“You don’t have to work so hard.”

Yukino said softly.

"Minister, what are you talking about?"

Shiki looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, who seemed a little different from usual, and said in surprise: "Isn't the Toyoin Festival a project proposed by me? Although I didn't intend to make it so big at the beginning..."

"It's not just the Toyone Festival, there are other things as well."

The girl shook her head. "Even the Service Club, you didn't need to get involved. It's hard work here and there's no benefit, but you never complained and always helped out."

"Ahahaha, is that true?"

Four Seasons smiled woodenly.

He really didn't feel anything. After all, most of the things in the service department were things he could easily handle. Many of the things he didn't solve right away were because he wanted to observe how they would develop.

Just like an ecological tank enthusiast, he will not actively interfere with the situation in the tank, but just observe the appearance inside based on his own interest.

Even when he joined the Service Club, he didn't have such a pure intention in mind. He just wanted to observe Yukinoshita Yukino, the little girl who was played around by him as 'Akira Fumpei', in another identity, and wait until she completely trusted him, and then stab her in the back to see what expression she would show...

It's pure malice and bad taste.

At this moment, this purely malicious act was sincerely thanked by the girl who used to keep everything in her heart, which made Si Ji feel a little uncomfortable.

"I can probably understand how willful I am." Yukinoshita Yukino said softly, "In the past, I was always pursuing some kind of 'real thing', but then something happened at home, and that person's perspective suddenly fell from the lofty horizon to reality. 'Real things' became something that I could never get."

"The real thing..."

Si Ji pondered over this word and felt that it was probably the thing that was farthest away from him.

After all, everything he has comes from false things. Even his current name, in a sense, is just a fake.

"But at that time, I probably couldn't give up my obsession, so I still founded the Service Club after coming to Toyosaki... You may not know that I also set up a club like this in Sobu High School before I transferred, but unlike the lively Toyosaki, the Service Club there didn't receive any decent commissions for the entire semester."

The girl looked a little... I don't know whether to say she was lonely or relieved. She had a subtle smile on her face: "How naive was I in the past."

“Children will always fight against a world they think is wrong in their own way.”

Suddenly, Si Ji said, "Perhaps in the future you will find yourself ignorant and ridiculous, but if you feel ashamed of it, it means that the girl you were at that time has been killed by time in the long river of the past."

"That's some kind of chuunibyou thing." Yukino laughed.

“I thought that was a pretty good way of putting it.”

Shiki shrugged, his eyes falling on the pile of chocolates on the table - these were sent by the choir members as gifts of comfort - and then he looked at the several pieces of chocolate wrappers that were opened in front of Yukino.

He picked up a piece of chocolate, pulled it apart and brought it to his nose to smell it. As expected, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. After biting it open, the sweet and spicy liquid inside immediately flowed into his mouth: "I originally wanted to ask the Minister if you drank any fake wine..."

Chocolate with concentrated brandy filling... Where on earth did the choir members get this stuff?
