This is not the date I wanted.

"Half body...I am...so sleepy...ha~"

"Understood. When we get to the classroom, Yakuya should take advantage of the morning meeting to have a good rest."

Xixian gently hugged Yakuya in her arms.

"Ah... Damn it... Why is there such a huge gap... I am unwilling to accept it... But... It's so healing..."

"Pet. Even though he's sleepy, Yakuya is still trying to be strong, and he's very cute."

"..."

Looking at Xixian with a happy face in silence, Mengyue no longer even had the desire to complain. Even the classmates passing by, when they saw the two of them, all smiled and said, "Ah, it's still the same in the new semester."

Can you at least tone it down a bit? You are almost becoming the famous product of Class 3.

However, Meng Yue's complaint obviously could not be transmitted to the lily barrier of the twins.

"Hey, Bamboo Princess. It's been a month since we last met. Happy New Year."

Seeing Zaodao Xiazhu walking in from the door, Mengyue called her by her title affectionately.

"Long time no see, happy new year. Also, I'm the class monitor."

Although she frowned a little in dissatisfaction, Xia Zhu still responded very politely and corrected Meng Yue's way of addressing her.

"Saodao, I'm sorry... Could you please help me take these handouts to the office and give them to your homeroom teacher?"

Just then, the history teacher passing by in the corridor greeted Xia Zhu.

"okay, I get it."

Xia Zhu nodded and took the thick stack of handouts handed to her by the teacher.

"Let me help too. It's a bit heavy for Bamboo Princess to carry all these."

Having said that, Meng Yue stood up from her seat.

Although the teacher was a little surprised by Mengyue's initiative, he still nodded.

"Well, that's my problem."

"Um...thank you."

Xia Zhu said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay. I'm the one to thank."

Meng Yue smiled and shook her head. To be honest, she really couldn't stand the gentle glances that the students in her class cast at her while looking at Yawu.

"Teacher, this is the handout our history teacher asked us to get."

"Okay, I did get it. Thank you for your hard work."

When they arrived at the office, the head teacher took the handouts from Xia Zhu, then turned his gaze to Meng Yue and asked.

"How's it going, Ryougi-san? Are you adjusting well after transferring here?"

"Yes. The atmosphere of this school is very comfortable, and I feel that I can spend a very meaningful time on campus."

Because I have answered similar questions before. Meng Yue smiled and answered with ease.

After hearing Meng Yue's words, the head teacher was obviously relieved.

"That's good. You just transferred to this school and your holiday started not long ago. I was worried whether you could integrate well into the class. If you have any questions, just come to my office and ask me."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

She bowed slightly to the teacher. By chance, Meng Yue glanced at the documents on the head teacher's desk and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Teacher, is that an aspiration survey?"

"Ah! Ahem—that's right."

Noticing his messy desk, the head teacher coughed a little embarrassedly, then answered while tidying up the desk.

"This is the survey form that we will prepare for the first-year students. They will be promoted to the second grade in April, and confirming their direction as early as possible will facilitate their future development."

"That's it..."

Meng Yue couldn't help but sighed. So, after the spring break in April this year, I will be entering my second senior year of high school.

"Come to think of it, it seems that Ryougi-san has never filled out a survey. If you haven't decided on a direction yet, it's better to decide as soon as possible."

"Thank you. But don't worry, teacher. I have already thought about what I plan to do in the future."

In response to this, Liangyi Mengyue smiled slightly and answered without hesitation.

————————————————I am the dividing line for going back to the classroom——————————————

"Liang Yi-san always gives people an incredible feeling."

Walking on the road, Zaodao Xiazhu couldn't help but sigh.

"Huh? Why do you say that suddenly?"

"Because when you transferred here last year, you clearly introduced yourself as being your first time at this school, but when I showed you around the school, you seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the school."

"what……"

Meng Yue turned away calmly. Not noticing Meng Yue's subtle expression at this moment, Zao Dao Xia Zhu continued to speak.

"And...how should I put it? Students who transfer in during such a delicate period as the end of the semester usually have a hard time integrating into the class circle. Although I know that you and Yamai-san knew each other before transferring...however, it feels like you've been in our class before, and you naturally get along with everyone."

"That's just your illusion. I'm a very outgoing person."

In response to Zaodao Xiazhu's doubts, Mengyue shrugged perfunctorily.

"And why did you call me 'Bamboo Princess' right after we met at school? Why do you know my nickname in class?"

At this point, Xia Zhu's tone clearly had a bit more resentment.

"Of course, Yakuya and the others told me this."

Meng Yue sold out her bad friend without hesitation, looking at Zao Dao Xia Zhu with a sly smile on her lips.

"And, I felt it when we first met. This child is really as cute as a princess (and very fun to tease)."

"Don't joke around, okay?"

As if she couldn't bear the words, Xia Zhu shook her head violently, her face flushed, and she retorted with a wry smile,

"Besides, when it comes to beauty, isn't Ryougi-san much prettier than me?"

"Well--"

An arrow hit Meng Yue's knee in an unexpected place, leaving her speechless for a moment.

"Well... putting that aside, don't you hate being called that? I think it's better than being called class monitor."

"It's not that I hate it... I'm just a little shy when people call me that, and it doesn't seem to have any sense of authority."

Zaodao Xiazhu muttered softly.

"You just have to get used to it. It's not a malicious name. If you really don't want to be called that, then when someone calls you 'Bamboo Princess', why not just ignore it? That way, the name will disappear after a while, Bamboo Princess."

"No, it's rude to ignore others."

Xia Zhu rejected Meng Yue's proposal without hesitation.

"Also, call me squad leader."

"Okay~"

(Perhaps it's because her reaction to this question is so funny that people can't help but keep calling her by her nickname.)

Thinking this in her heart, Meng Yue suppressed her smile and nodded.

In the previous world line, Meng Yue transferred to Raizen High School with the Yamai sisters in September last year. But in this world line, she enrolled in late November.

Because she still has memories of her previous life, she has an impression of the school environment, teachers and classmates in the class.

At first, she had considered hiding the incident and building good relationships with her classmates from scratch. But when she thought about how her friendship application was rejected by Yui and Yakuya, Meng Yue decided to give up.

Rather than role-playing to suit the experiences of the previous world, it is better to let things flow naturally. People who got along well before will naturally get along well now.

Suddenly, just as Mengyue and Xiazhu were chatting to pass the time, she felt an inexplicable chill and subconsciously stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Zhu asked doubtfully.

"No...that."

Meng Yue looked ahead with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Not far away in the corridor, Okamine Tsubaki, the head teacher of Class 4, Grade 2, lowered her head and walked towards her class step by step.

And around her, there was an aura of despair that made people retreat a little.

"… Happy New Year, classmates. How was your winter vacation? Christmas, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day… You must have had a lot of fun…"

After entering the classroom, after Teacher Xiaozhu's indifferent greetings, the whole class fell into an extremely cold silence.

The reason is very simple, because there is no smile in Teacher Xiaozhu's eyes at all.

"How old are you now? In two or three months, you will be in the third grade, right? So you should be almost eighteen, right? Students who were born to play more may still be seventeen. By the way, the teacher's birthday is in March. Guess how old the teacher is now?"

Teacher Xiaozhu asked in a casual tone. Although the answer was known to Mengyue, who was not a student in Class 4, no one in the classroom dared to step on the landmine, and they all remained silent without exception.

"I...will finally graduate from being nearly thirty this year and officially enter my thirties. Huhu...hahaha...pretty cool, right?"

Heavy! Too heavy!

Although he seemed to be joking when he said it, no one in the audience, including Mengyue and Xiazhu who missed the time to leave and were sitting outside the classroom, could laugh out loud.

"Um... Teacher Xiaozhu."

As if unable to bear the heavy atmosphere, Ai couldn't help but speak out.

"Shut up! From now on, when you talk to me, you must add three before and after your sentences!"

"Sa... San. Yes. Sir!"

Frightened by Teacher Kozue's aura, Ai straightened her back and answered.

"Three. Teacher Xiaozhu, what happened...? Three."

In response to this question, Xiaozhu gave a self-destructive sneer.

"Nothing~ Nothing~ It's okay, a very happy news. Airi-chan, who has been my classmate since elementary school, is getting married next month. Fufufu, it's so exciting. Because Airi-chan is a very good girl, she will definitely marry a very good child, and therefore a good husband. We get together every year on birthdays and Christmas, and give each other chocolates on Valentine's Day. When she was drunk, she once hugged me and shouted, 'Wow, if I'm not married by the age of 30, marry me, Xiaozhu!' And so on. The person she's going to marry seems to be a doctor who is two years younger than her. At the 'What Are Men Girls' Club' at the end of the year before last, Airi-chan got drunk and sprained her foot, and the doctor who treated her fell in love with her at first sight and launched a fierce offensive. Haha, I was there at the time, but I didn't expect When I was drunk, my best friend fell in love in the next room. Life is really unpredictable. But it's great. In fact, I often think that no one likes a cute girl like Airi-chan. How short-sighted the men in the world are! Airi-chan is such an outstanding girl, beautiful and tall, she can be invited to be a print model. Because I think girls like Airi-chan are still single, I think I am fine. But Airi-chan has actually been captured by a man secretly. Speaking of which, the frequency of her going to girls' gatherings has gradually decreased last year. It's so mean that she gave me a marriage report without any warning on the New Year, and she even said something like "I'm too shy, sorry"... To put it bluntly, it's just the lust to seduce men, right? I must learn it well. "

With her upper body lying on the podium, Teacher Xiaozhu kept talking in a flat tone. At the end, her voice began to sound like tears.

"...Another classmate is getting married...How many more wedding ceremonies do I have to attend..."

Enough! Enough! Teacher Xiaozhu, I am almost in tears after listening to this.

Rather, the person next to me is already crying!!!

"Mmmm... Teacher Xiaozhu... is so pitiful..."

"This is the darkness of an unmarried woman approaching the age limit of thirty. In the future, pay attention to finding a good man and marry him as soon as possible, Bamboo Princess."

Gently patting Zaodao Xiazhu's shoulder, Mengyue spoke earnestly.

"Um... I'm... the squad leader..."

"You are really persistent."

Looking at Xia Zhu who was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Meng Yue smiled bitterly and turned her gaze to Class 4, Grade 2 again.

To be honest, in her opinion, Okamine Tamae is definitely not an unattractive woman. She is gentle, very kind to students, and has a very good reputation in school. Although her petite physique may lack dignity in society, men should still prefer her.

Although this type of men is a bit dangerous.

After thinking about it, Mengyue felt that, regardless of their own conditions, there are only three reasons why women are still single.

1. The requirements are too high. In fact, there are men who like her, but they are directly excluded by the teacher because they do not meet the hard conditions;

Second, poor vision. In fact, I have met some people, but unfortunately, the ones I like are all unreliable and frivolous men, and every relationship ends up with nothing.

3. Bad luck. This is true...

Unfortunately, if the first two can still be saved, the third is really hopeless. And judging from the teacher's situation, it seems to be the third one...

Well. This is so pitiful that Meng Yue can't bear to watch it anymore. I hope a man will come out from somewhere and marry her.

Then, as if a sudden inspiration came to her, Mengyue turned her gaze to Shidao who was fidgeting in the classroom.

(If I remember correctly, Shidou proposed to Kozue-sensei several times. Although there are reasons for it... Strictly speaking, Shidou should also be responsible.)
