Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Of course Asagiri Ran knew all this, but she didn't say anything.

She just turned her eyes away, blushed slightly, and leaned towards Oreki Gen, as if she wanted to squeeze into this extremely safe embrace.

Drops of rain hit the glass, leaving marks on the car window.

It seemed as if he was writing some words that he wanted to leave behind, but soon, they were easily covered by tears.

Oreki Gen didn't say anything either, just looked at the top of Asagiri Sang's head.

Well, my hair is very thick, so I probably won’t have to worry about my hairline until I’m forty... Of course, that’s if I can live to that age.

So, what will everything be like then?

Reflection in mirror.

She saw his eyes, and then saw the slight smile he gave as he lowered his head.

Although there were sounds in the car, they were dull and depressing.

Only this smile seen in the reflection of the glass can be considered a pretty good fairy tale.

Finally arrived.

Get off the bus with the dense crowd.

There were many figures and umbrellas at the school gate.

The water splashed slightly on the road.

Asagiri Sum did not walk side by side with Oreki Gen, and Oreki Gen did not force them to do so, but just walked behind the girl. Watching this girl was like a lonely shuttle through time and space, passing through the lively and laughing youthful crowd.

He couldn't help but think.

Asagiri Ran's personality has probably been like this for a long time, so has she been like this all these years?

She has no friends, no one to joke around with, and not even any extra entertainment activities. To her, the school is just a place full of people she has seen before and who look familiar to her, but none of them can establish a so-called close relationship with her... Can a person really endure such loneliness and desolation in the long run?

Oreki Xian felt that a girl like this didn't need any superpowers. Her tenacious character and the fact that she was still alive and well were actually quite impressive superpowers.

When changing shoes in the shoe cabinet, they naturally separated.

When Matsuyama Shouta came over with a familiar pat on his shoulder, Oreki Gen first turned around, but the next thing he did was to look at Asagiri Ryou. He wondered how she would feel when she saw Matsuyama Shouta. Would she look down on him and think that the worse a person is, the more he needs so-called friends?

But the next moment.

Oreki Gen saw a familiar figure appear next to Asagiri Ran. She carefully poked the girl's arm and said.

"Good morning, Asagiri-san."

It does look somewhat familiar.

Because she was a girl who had contact with Asagiri Ran during training camp, and she even seemed to have a story with her.

Kujo Nao.

She is a girl with a good family background. Although she is not as good as Sakuraba Mitsuki, she is also beyond the ordinary people.

Asagiri Ran noticed Oreki Gen's gaze, but before she could respond, she was interrupted by Kujo Nao.

She was stunned and looked at Kujo Nao.

"Ok?"

It seemed as if she was asking the other person why he wanted to greet her at this time...or simply, why he wanted to greet her.

Kujo Nao no longer had the tense mood she had with Asagiri Ran before. Instead, she blinked her eyes and spoke cautiously.

"Last time...you said that although you weren't ready to be good friends just yet, we could be friends."

"friend..."

Asagiri Ran seemed a little confused as she repeated the word.

But he saw that Nao Kujo looked a little nervous.

It seems that I have become important in the eyes of others and my decisions are being watched.

Asagiri Ran is not a girl who lacks attention, but she is more accustomed to the current life without attention. Because of her personality, she actively isolates herself from others. Most people no longer have illusions about her...

Maybe they have all become weird people.

But now it seems that some people still have expectations for themselves...

Not really used to it.

but...

"I see. Good morning, Kujo-san."

Hearing this, Kujo Nao widened her eyes in excitement, as if she couldn't believe it.

Then he immediately smiled happily and took Asagiri Ran's hand.

"I thought you forgot!"

"I didn't forget, it's just your hand..."

"Let's go to the classroom together! Have you changed your shoes?"

"It's been changed, but..."

"Then let's go. I've been reading a lot lately. Don't you like reading? Can you recommend a few to me?"

Asagiri Ran was almost dragged away from the shoe closet. She was not used to it and had an embarrassment on her face, but it seemed that Kujo Nao didn't notice it at all and was immersed in her own excitement.

It seemed like it was a great thing to finally be able to get close to this girl.

During the process, Asagiri Sami even looked for help at Oreki Gen who was not far away.

But Oreki Gen just smiled and waved his hand as if saying goodbye.

It seems that I don't need to worry about anything. It seems that they have changed a lot because of my appearance. I just hope...it's all for the good. This world is already dangerous enough.

"Who are you waving to?"

However, Matsuyama Shouta looked at Oreki Ken in surprise.

Oreki Gen smiled and shook his head.

"Nothing, maybe just a farewell to my bad mood today."

"Hmm? Are you in a bad mood today?"

The two of them walked towards the classroom while talking.

"How should I put it? A little bit."

"Then why are you suddenly in a good mood?"

"Of course it's because of you, my friend. Only when you appear do I feel that life should be filled with more happiness and should not be bound by troubles."

Matsuyama Shouta looked at Oreki Gen in shock.

"Am I that important?"

"Of course, don't underestimate your importance in this big world. Everyone is irreplaceable, Brother Xiang!"

Shota Matsuyama couldn't help but burst into laughter with pride.

"Hahahaha... First of all, please stop calling me that weird name. And... Can you introduce me to a cute girl when you have time? I don't want too much, just someone like Miss Sakuraba."

"...Brother Xiang, you are indeed important. But not to that extent. Although you should have a long-term vision, you should not look at the illusory other-dimensional space, okay?"

“Oreki, has anyone ever told you that you actually have the potential to be a bit sharp-tongued?”

"Ah? Really? I thought I was telling the truth."

"Sometimes the truth hurts, Oreki."

"But as your good friend I'm telling the truth, isn't that right?"

"Ah? Is that so?"

"Yes, that's right, Xiang-nii."

Conversations that are not very nutritious but are interesting enough will fill your entire youth. Only when you grow up and enter that materialistic and worldly society, will you begin to miss them. Sometimes, a life that is full of meaningful and interest-related conversations is a great sorrow.

The test is still more than a month away, and it’s almost winter.

The learning atmosphere in the whole class seems very relaxed.

Oreki Gen naturally seemed more lazy and relaxed, but he had no intention of giving up his studies. Studying had now become a very simple thing for him.

His goal is no longer some so-called exam.

But we developed our own lithography machine... Just kidding.

Let's leave the task of making an outstanding contribution to humanity to the next ambitious time traveler, whose goal is to survive this winter.

Until school is over in the afternoon.

Oreki Gen came to the door of the club classroom as if out of habit.

"Bang."

"Good afternoon, beautiful and generous Yukino-senpai, and smart and wise Asagiri-san..."

Oreki Gen's opening remarks had not yet been completed.

I realized something was wrong.

Because Sayuri Yukino, who was wearing long sleeves and thicker black socks, looked over with a smile.

Asagiri Ran, who was holding a book, was also looking at herself.

besides...

There is another existence that I seem to have overlooked in my success.

She was sitting on the spacious, soft sofa, half lying down, leaning lazily on the pillow, drinking juice, holding her cell phone, and then looking at herself with a smile.

The smile was familiar... the kind that was on the edge of danger.

Sakuraba Mizuki...

Oh, by the way! This young lady has also joined the club!

Oreki Gen sucked in a breath of cold air when he saw Sayuri Yukino's eyes trying to hold back her laughter and Asagiri Ran's unpleasant look.

Say it immediately.

"And my one and only, most important girlfriend in the world, Miss Sakuraba."

Sayuri Yukino nodded and said to Asagiri Ran.

"I've always admired Oreki-kun's reaction ability, but it seems that his memory is not that good."

Asagiri Sumiya was too lazy to respond to such a topic. She was not Oreki Gen, so she didn't want to play a duet with Sayuri Yukino.

Sakuraba Mitsuki looked at the handsome boy with a smile and just hooked his finger.

"come over."

Oreki Gen walked towards the other party with unwavering steps.

He thinks it should be a manifestation of boyfriend power.

But in the eyes of Sayuri Yukino and Asagiri Ran, it was almost like facing death with indifference.

Walk in front of the girl.

He looked at the other person with a smile on his face and squatted down considerately.

"What's wrong? Are you tired and bored of lying down? How about I take you home...hiss, it hurts, it hurts."

The girl grabbed Oreki Gen's ear.

He almost directly pulled Oreki string onto himself.

"You're quite skilled at greeting people. Are you usually so friendly with pretty girls? It's all thanks to you for remembering me, Oreki Gen."

Oreki Gen held the girl's hand and sat down on the sofa.

"How could I forget my girlfriend... Hey, this sofa is nice, did you buy it, senior? Why buy this if you have money? Money should be spent on the most important things, not on useless things like this."

Oreki Gen tried to quickly change the subject.

But Sayuri Yukino said with a smile.
