I refuse to be a plagiarist

————————————

“You’ve all seen it in many magazines, right?

All kinds of unsolved mysteries in the world...”

The driver didn't lie.

As a veteran ramen lover, the ramen in the noodle shop he recommended is indeed unique.

After all, even Hasegawa, who had a certain tinted glasses for neon ramen, couldn't help but sigh like a philosopher Jingze after tasting it, and made a big bowl of it.

In this case, let alone others.

Except for Hayasaka Ai, who has strong self-discipline, the other three in Shuchiin are now holding their round bellies contentedly and burping from time to time.

They haven't decided on their next trip yet.

While trying hard to digest the food, Hasegawa, as the organizer of the party, couldn't help but start looking for topics to discuss in order to pass the time while digesting the food.

Just like now.

——Unsolved mysteries of the world

There are all kinds of "unsolved mysteries" in this world, such as the construction of the pyramids, the curse in the pharaoh's tomb, the Loch Ness Monster, the Bermuda Triangle, Area 51 in the United States... and so on.

However, with the passage of time and the continuous exploration and discovery of relevant personnel, those mysteries shrouded in mystery seem to have answers that can be explained by science. Even when the truth comes out, it gives people a deep sense of irony.

Normally, this is just a program similar to popular science fun facts.

Just like some seemingly ordinary things, when you put these once "unsolved mysteries" together and discuss them with your friends around you, they will become particularly interesting and can even help you kill time while waiting.

"You say... Is there really something terrifying in Area 51 of the Free Country?

Even if the alien story may be false, such a place full of secrets can serve as a base for some kind of secret experiment.

For example, a testing ground for some new type of weapon, or something like human experimentation..."

He boldly expressed his conjecture, which was similar to science fiction.

Anyway, this is not the first or second time that the Eagle Sauce has caused trouble in this world.

Therefore, Hasegawa did not feel any psychological burden when he pinned those crimes, whether they were real or fake, on the other party. Instead, he felt a sense of satisfaction in persecuting them.

“But… isn’t it a bit too hasty to draw conclusions without any evidence?

And when it comes to the level of countries, it should be normal for them to have some secrets between them, right?"

"Oh, that may not be the case..."

.........

It is human instinct to explore mystery and the unknown.

As the boy and girl express the unknown possibilities in their hearts, time passes quietly.

The feeling of fullness after overeating has gradually disappeared without you noticing.

Seeing that the mobility has been restored, there is no need for everyone to stay here any longer, taking up seats in the store under the boss's resentful gaze...

Chapter 133: Silver Wants to Escape

The lanterns are on.

On this moonlit night with no festivals being held, there are actually not many choices left for people.

According to Hasegawa's previous idea, everyone should play a group activity like escape room together, and then go home to rest.

But considering the brains of the people around me, this kind of teamwork puzzle-solving style activity is likely to end up as a quick pass and giving money to the store owner for nothing.

So, under the slightly trembling gaze of Shirogane Miyuki, Fujiwara Chika, the most active member of the team, raised her arm and issued a call to the team.

——Let’s go sing together~

"That's right~

When it comes to singing, Hasegawa-kun should call me Master, right? "

Come to someone in a bounding manner.

Facing Ms. Fujiwara's desire to show off, Hasegawa Hide did not deliberately retreat, but nodded helplessly amid the comments of the crowd:

"yes.

Previously, I was grateful for the help from Mr. Fujiwara."

“Hey~Hey~….”

Hearing Hasegawa's affirmative answer, Fujiwara Chika touched her nose proudly, and glanced at a junior who liked to talk back.

It’s like a character’s combat power can reach an incredible level by stacking boxes.

From certain details in the student council on weekdays, Fujiwara Chika could clearly sense the admiration that President Shirogane and the junior Ishigami who liked to go against her had for Hasegawa.

However, because she likes to be clever and cheat, the girl's current status in the student union is not even ranked.

Therefore, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, she also wanted to elevate herself slightly through this method similar to "stacking boxes", so as to change her humble image in the student union group, which was almost synonymous with "taking advantage of loopholes".

But this is still too naive.

Compared with the result in the girl's fantasy, she obviously forgot the fundamental principle that "a good blacksmith must have strong tools".

Conducting skills can only prove one’s outstanding ability in a certain aspect, but one’s character has another indicator to measure.

Therefore, the title of "Hasegawa-san's music teacher" did not bring much arrogance to the girl. Instead, Ishigami-san complained about her in a very contemptuous tone: I didn't expect that Fujiwara-san, who is always unreliable, would occasionally show a reliable side, blah blah...

"Damn it... Ishigami-san, girls won't like you if you're so gloomy!"

"If it's a girl like Fujiwara-senpai, then it doesn't matter if she's not liked~"

"Hmph~!"

The daily joyful bickering between the senior and junior students started again.

The only difference is that this time the stage was changed from the closed student union office to a busy street.

"Hey, Shirogane, are they usually like this at school?"

Observing from behind the interesting interaction between Ishigami and Fujiwara, who love and hate each other.

With a curious attitude, Hasegawa quietly pulled over his friend who was the student council president and asked in a low voice.

"Uh, not really..."

Faced with questions from his friends, Shirogane Miyuki, as the guild president, originally wanted to cover up a little for his team members.

But when I thought back to the happy daily life between the two of them, when the words came to my lips, I just couldn't say them.

how to explain?

[Should I tell Hasegawa directly that they would ruthlessly attack me with all kinds of words just because of a small matter, and even stage a "fighting match" in the office? ]

He patted his forehead helplessly.

Although he could already get a glimpse of the truth from his expression, as the guild leader, Baiyin still didn't speak out the truth directly.

He believed that his good friend should have guessed the answer from his fleeting strange reaction.

In this case, it is better to save face for each other and not expose the truth so bluntly.

After all, it would be fine if it was just the student council members, but there was also Hayasaka, a member of Shuchiin, present.

At this time, Baiyin had no idea of ​​the twists and turns behind this blonde girl.

So naturally, there are some concerns about performance.

After all, in order to survive in that campus full of rich kids, as the student union president he was under a lot of pressure and tried his best to present a serious image every day.

Of course, part of the reason was that he was sleep deprived, which made his eyes look fierce, but that's beside the point.

"By the way...Hasegawa, are we really going to sing next?"

"Well, probably, if nothing unexpected happens.

After all, you saw how enthusiastic Ms. Fujiwara was, and no one else seemed to have any objections."

Hasegawa couldn't help but find it a little funny to see Shirogane being so cautious and as if he was on guard against something, he spread his hands towards him indifferently while explaining.

After all, the proposal was made by your secretary. As the president, you don't want to escape at the critical moment, do you?

An involuntary smirk appeared on his face.

Hasegawa Hide naturally knew that Shirogane was not very good at singing, and his singing could even be considered clumsy and torturous.

But in his opinion, so-called weaknesses, especially those like this one that are relatively easy to overcome and not really weaknesses at all, should be eliminated quickly.

After all, the other party is the president of the student union, and necessary social interaction between classmates is absolutely inevitable.

and.......

"...Didn't we practice this last year?

Don't tell me that after almost half a year, you are still at that terrible level of magic music."

The look he gave his friend became a little surprised.

However, facing the gaze from Hasegawa Hide, Shirogane Miyuki's eyes became evasive.

Yes, in order to prepare for the school festival, the two of them once teamed up to go to KTV to practice singing.

It was at that time that Hasegawa met Ms. Fujiwara, his music teacher, through an introduction from others, and thus made considerable progress in this less professional field.

Even in the final performance at the school festival, his performance was recognized by many classmates.

Of course, for Hasegawa himself, looking back now, it might have been better for him to create a more down-to-earth Neon song.

But what he never expected was that the friend in front of him returned to the starting point after that incident and never improved himself again.

With limited time and energy, choices ultimately mean trade-offs, and there is no way to have the best of both worlds.

As for Baiyin Yuxing, who even sang the school song by lip-syncing in the crowd, he didn't need to worry too much about what to focus his limited time and experience on.......

Chapter 134: Different Standards Bring Different Answers

"So...

I'm really not good at singing."

While explaining quietly, facing Hasegawa's puzzled look, Shirogane couldn't help but reveal a hint of embarrassment on his face:

"You know me too. Everyone has their own limits when it comes to singing..."

Very strange.

If one just listens to it, Baiyin Yuxing thinks that he has his own understanding of music and can even give some comments.

But once it’s time for me to perform, I don’t know why, but I always become tone-deaf and it’s hard for people to listen to me.

Not to mention that it's not in tune, it's basically all original.

Maybe it was to maintain his "powerful" image as the student council president, or maybe it was because he simply didn't want to embarrass himself in front of others.

In short, no matter what, if possible, Baiyin Yuxing absolutely does not want to be in a situation where he would embarrass himself online in front of a large group of acquaintances.

This can be seen from the last exchange meeting held by Shuchiin Academy with French students.

As the student council president, Baiyin was naturally assigned a very heavy task.

Although he knew nothing about French, he still studied the beginner's manual for several days just to make it through, making an imperfect sprint.

The result...

According to the conclusion drawn by Hayasaka during their previous casual chat, if it weren't for the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, who served as the vice-president, who took action at the critical moment, the president would probably have been scolded in French for dozens of minutes by the hostile exchange student with a shameless face and a stupid look on his face without knowing it.

This kind of situation where one has to rely on chance is absolutely unacceptable to Hasegawa.

If you can, you will, if you don't, you won't.

If you have shortcomings, just face them upright and use the conditions around you to improve yourself as much as possible. Why bother to save face and suffer in life?

"Hey, Hasegawa, you don't understand......"

"........"

【Hurry up, you. 】
