By Chaowuling, Minister of the Literature and Art Department, Fumiyu Yumiya invited the Unnatural Research Department and his team to visit their homes and go to their own printing factory to see the printing of the social magazine samples.
Neither Soya nor Hongko had any objections, and Akane Kirino responded very positively.
"Okay, I'm going!"
When she went downstairs, she lay on Zong Gu's back and whispered in his ear: "Actually, I just learned the name of Senior Sister Yugong..."
He smiled, "Senior sister won't mind."
When he came to the Literature and Art Department, facing the gaze of more than two people at the same time, Senior Sister Yugong was still a little shy. She hurriedly looked at each other and then lowered her gaze.
"It's great that everyone from the Unnatural Research Department is willing to accept the invitation. Let's go there now."
Under the gaze of several people, her head drooped lower and lower, and she hurriedly put several books on the table into her bag.
Walking out of the office, she turned around and locked the door.
Akane Kirino looked at the schoolbag she was holding and said, "Do you want to take all the books just now to read?"
"Yes……"
"Why can I finish reading it in one night after I brought so many books?"
"Yes."
“It’s amazing…”
"Thank you." Locking the door of the upper room, Senior Aomiya turned around and smiled at her, and his eyes turned to the side, "But senior is even more powerful."
Chao Wuling calmly said nothing, and she didn't care.
"let's go."
The few people went downstairs together, and Aumami Fumio pulled Chao Muling to walk in front, as if she was taking her sister to visit the high school sister.
"Senior sister, the social magazines of the Literature and Art Department should be almost ready to be printed, right?" Zong Gu asked as he walked.
"No, I'm still doing the last proofreading."
Fumiya Yumiya looked back at him, "Because this is the first social magazine I co-produced with my predecessors, I want to deliver the printing in perfect condition as much as possible."
"So that's it. It's just that, is there time?"
"It's time."
She lowered her head and smiled at Chao Wuling who looked at her, "After all, it is my own printing factory, and I still have this privilege."
Looking back at Murigawa, he looked at Sonogu, "And there are not many printed numbers, only fifty copies."
"Hey, are there only fifty books?" Akane Kirino was a little surprised, "It's less than ours."
"Actually, fifty books are enough."
Walking out of the special building, Yumiya Wenyu walked into the atrium and his pace slowed down a little.
"My senior and I each kept one book, and took out two more books, and left it to the consultants and social committees of the Literature and Art Department. There are still forty-six books left. If we can sell half of it during the school festival, it would be very good.
Something worth being happy about."
She looked ahead, "In today's era when entertainment methods are becoming more and more abundant, fewer people are interested in literature."
Akane Kirino thought for a while and guessed: "This should be a loss, right?"
Zong Gu moved his arm and hit her gently. She looked over and raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Senior Sister Yugong turned her head slightly and smiled bitterly: "I can afford this loss..."
"As the Minister of the Unnatural Research Department, I decided to purchase a social magazine of the Art Department for all the members of the Ministry of Education."
"Well... are five books?"
"Ah, yes."
"Thanks."
After leaving school, the few people boarded the tram together.
Senior Aomiya's home is near Shanke Station, while the printing factory is a little far away. After getting off the tram, you have to take a bus.
"After that being said, does not Guan Yuan usually participate in the club activities of the Unnatural Phenomenon Research Department?"
Akane Kirino and Hongko both looked at Soya.
"Yes."
He nodded without changing his face, "There are many things happening in the shrine."
"I think so," said Fumiyu Yumiya, "For this school festival, Guan Yuan reluctantly accepted the assignment in the class... Ah, this is just my own guess. Because it was decided by the lottery, I will take care of it.
The original classmate’s face was not very good, but he just didn’t object.”
Zong Gu smiled briefly and said nothing.
Akane Kirino: "Is the senior sister also from Class A in the second year?"
Fumiyu Yumiya: "Yes."
Hongzi: "What is the academy ceremony for Class A in the second year?"
Fumiya Arimiya: "Osakaya."
Akane Kirino: "Where is the maid?"
Fumiyu Yumiya: "Maid...what maid?"
Akane Kirino: "No? That's pretty simple."
Fumiya Yumiya: "Simple... Because there are many students in Class A who are the main members of the club and will not stay in the class during the academy, so it is easy for the rest of the people to hold Osakayaki.
It's passed."
Akane Kirino: "I will go and taste it. Ah, so are Hongzi and Soya."
Yumiya Fumizu: "Thank you..."
While talking, the tram had arrived at the station.
In the evening, at Shanke Station, there was a rush of people. Several people squeezed out of the platform with some difficulty, left the station, and led by senior Yugong to the bus platform.
Almost five or six minutes later, a bus stopped by the side of the road, and several people got on the bus one after another, with seats.
"You can get there in more than ten minutes... you can also take the subway on the east-west line, but the bus platform is outside the printing factory, which is more convenient." said senior Yugong.
After more than ten minutes, the few people got off the bus together.
Wu Yumiya took two steps to the side of the road and pointed at a building in front of him, "This is the factory. There are many printing factories nearby that are concentrated here, and the printing factory of Yumiya's family is just a trivial part of it."
Zong Gu looked at the red building in front of him, and Senior Sister Yugong pointed further away.
“The company is near the subway entrance.”
"Company?" Akane Kirino looked over.
"Yes, the pre-press design and business departments of this printing factory are all in the company there. The factory here is mainly responsible for printing and binding parts."
“It turned out to be separate.”
"Yes."
As he said that, Senior Sister Yugong took them to the factory.
Tons of unopened paper piled up at the door, and a small forklift is carrying it back and forth.
When I entered the printing workshop, I needed to change my special work clothes. Although Akane Kirino was curious about what she looked like in the factory, she felt it was troublesome, so she didn't go in and just stared at the forklift and took a few more glances.
"I want to open it."
"Don't pay attention to her."
Soya grabbed Akane Kirino before Senior Amamiya was embarrassed.
"Come here."
Bypassing the piles of paper, Ayumiya Fumio brought a few people to an office, where an old man wearing glasses stood up to greet him.
"Miss Wenxu."
"Mr. Kuramoto, I'll take my friends over to see the sample."
Mr. Kuramoto greeted several children again, and Hongko and Akane Kirino responded quickly.
“Which book is it?”
There are dazzling array of publications on the desk in the office, which seem to be freshly printed samples.
Faced with the inquiry, Zong Gu was silent for a moment.
""Unnatural Story of Classmate Zong Gu"."
"Student Zong Gu... I'll look for it."
After watching him search for a while, Soya turned around, Hongko and Akane Kirino were both snickering.
The name of the social magazine was decided by a vote, and before that, the three of them had a very fierce debate.
【“Take the name of Sonogu, it will definitely be very good to sell!”
"This is too merciful."
"Aren't we making social magazines just for sale?"
"You said before that it was to explain the truth about supernatural phenomena to ordinary people."
"I'm the Minister!"
"The rest of the work you want to complete."
"Well... Then let's be more democratic, vote."
“…”]
The result of the vote was naturally not suspense. "The Unnatural Story of Classmate Zong Gu" was elected as the title of the social magazine with a huge advantage of two votes.
"Finally found this one, right?"
Mr. Kuramoto walked over with a thin book with a dark red cover and handed it to Soya.
On the cover is a girl holding a transparent umbrella looking back. Below is the title of the magazine, and below is the author, namely the Unnatural Epidemic Research Department of Danhai University.
The cover is designed by Hongko, and the base image is drawn by Akane Kirino's friend in Manyan.
"The printing effect looks pretty good." Hongzi walked over and said.
"Um."
Zong Gu touched the smooth cover, opened the thin book again, and quickly flipped through it.
“The texture of this paper is very good.”
“It’s very comfortable to touch.”
After looking back and forth, Zong Gu slowly read it over again. This time the focus was on the internal text layout and illustration printing quality, and the actual effect was very good.
"Just like the library books in a bookstore, it's just a little thinner."
"Well, you guys can take a look, too."
He handed the sample to Hongko, and Akane Kirino also came to watch.
Chao Wuling had participated in proofreading before and was not interested in the content of her own club magazine. Instead, she scanned other samples in the office.
"These samples will be taken to the company later. If you are interested, you can take a look at them."
"Um."
Zong Gu followed Chao Wuling, watching her flip through several books, then raised her eyes and looked at the printing workshop outside the other window of the office.
A printing worker carried a thick stack of paper, shook his hands a few times, then hit the table neatly, and then put it into the printing machine.
"Bumping paper, knocking paper, moving paper and putting paper are actually very hard physical work." Yumiya Fumio said, "Those papers are not light."
Zong Gu nodded and pointed to a machine far away, "Is that machine also a printing machine?"
"Yes. That's an offset printer."
"It takes three people to serve" that machine." Mr. Kuramoto walked over, holding a cardboard box in his hand, and put the sample on the table in. "Even a factory with a high degree of automation, at least two people are needed.
.”
"Mr. Kuramoto, are these samples going to the company now?"
"That's right."
Mr. Kuramoto pretended as he walked, "I'm going to drive over. If Miss Wenxu and your friends want to take the subway there, I can send you there."
"That's great."
Akane Kirino and Hongko have also roughly checked the samples and are both satisfied.
"Is that right? Since everyone in the Unnatural Research Department thinks there is no problem, you can start printing in large quantities tonight." Yumiya Fumio said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you can bind it before school tomorrow afternoon.
A hundred good social magazines will be sent to the school.”
"So fast!" Akane Kirino said in surprise.
Fumiyu Yumiya smiled slightly, "Student Kirino is ready to pay the final payment."
"Ah, OK, I'll pay..."
Mr. Kuramoto put all the samples that needed to be moved to the company into a carton, and Soya and his party also got on a van.
"Every August and September, it is the time when students order the most," said Mr. Kuramoto.
Soya sat in the passenger seat, "It's because of the school festival and school anniversary in the second semester."
"That's right."
"But although we often face vibrant young people, printing companies are slowly declining. Due to the influence of the economy, the Internet and electronic technology, Japan's printing companies are now decreasing every year."
"Yeah……"
After chatting in the car for nearly ten minutes, Mr. Kuramoto stopped the car in front of a building.
“We’re here.”
After saying goodbye to Mr. Kuramoto, Soya and his party took the subway and rushed back to Yamako Station.
When we walked out of the subway station, it was already dark, and Yumiya Fumio took them to his house.
"I've said hello in advance, and dinner should be almost ready."
After walking for a while, the group came to a large courtyard. Judging from the door sign hanging next to it, this is Yugong's house.
"Senior Yumiya's family is so big..." Akane Kirino exclaimed.
"It's just an old house left by our ancestors." Yumiya Fumio walked to the door and stopped, "Please come in."
She pulled Aomiri, Hongko and Kirino Akane followed Zuoya and walked into the courtyard.
"This house should be much older than my house, but it doesn't look old at all." Looking at the tall wooden house that was getting closer and closer, Akane Kirino whispered in Soya's ear.
"Probably because there are too many people living in it and it is well maintained." Zong Gu pinched her hand, "Also, it's my house now."
“…”
She smiled, then came up to bite his ear.
"It's my home!"
Walking into the room, several people followed Aomiya to a large room.
The long table in the middle is filled with various dishes.
"Please sit down."
Soya sat down, Hongko and Akane Kirino sat next to him, and sat opposite him towards Mizure.
“It looks delicious…”
"You're welcome." Fumio Yumiya sat next to Chaowuling, "Please feel free to do it."
Akane Kirino looked at the door, "Where is Senior Sister Yumiya's family? Are you waiting for them to come?"
"My father and mother are still in the company, so there is no need to wait for them. These dishes are prepared to entertain everyone."
"Is that so? Then I'm not polite. I'm starting to move-"
Zong Gu and Hongzi were no longer polite and picked up Kuaizi.
“It tastes really good.”
Without adults, there were fewer restrictions for several high school students, and the atmosphere of the dinner was very relaxed.
"Senior Sister Yugong, how many years have your house been?"
"It has been about two hundred years since the middle and late Edo period. It was rebuilt once more than ten years ago."
"No wonder it doesn't look that old. My house...our house is only more than 60 years old, and it's already very old."
"If necessary, you can also push down and rebuild it."
"Well...Songya, do you want to rebuild?"
"Where did Ling and I live during the reconstruction."
"My family or Hongzi family?"
"You really dare to think about it."
"Senior can live with me too. Ah, so do classmate Zonggu."
"It's too early to say this..."
While chatting, the few people enjoyed the delicious food. When they were almost eating, the door of the room suddenly opened a little, and a middle-aged woman poked her head:
"Miss, the master is back."
"I understand." Yumiya Fumio wiped her mouth and stood up, "I'll lose my companion for a while."
After Miss Aigumi went out, the door of Kawamiya was closed again.
Akane Kirino whispered: "Is that maid from my senior sister's house just now?"
"It should be called a servant."
After drinking the juice, Zong Gu wiped his mouth, "I will say hello to my senior sister's parents later, and it's almost time for us to say goodbye."
"Uh-huh."
After a while, the sliding door opened again, and Ayumi Fumio walked in with a middle-aged man.
"This is my father."
Several people quickly got up and greeted him, and Mr. Yugong responded casually.
When his eyes fell on Zong Gu, he glanced at his daughter again.
Senior Sister Yugong was stunned, and quickly reacted and shook her head immediately.
Mr. Arimiya came here specially, mainly to meet another person.
"Miss Chaowu, I met you at a cocktail party in Zhongjing more than ten years ago, but you probably don't remember me anymore."
He glanced at Wuling and shook his head.
"So many years have passed, your youth is still there, and I have entered middle age."
"Um."
After chatting for a few more words, Mr. Yugong asked hesitantly: "I'm sorry, I don't know that Miss Juicy recently..."
"The teacher has something else to do, not in Kyoto."
"I see."
He stopped asking more questions, instead invited a few children to rest at home for a night, shook his head at Wuling and refused.
After the dinner, Senior Sister Yugong took a few people around her courtyard and then sent a few people to the station.
"Senior, see you tomorrow."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow."
She turned around and left after sending several people to the platform.
There was a tram from Kyoto, and Soya pulled three girls into the car, but only Akane Kirino and Akane were squeezed in the seats.
"Let's sit here." Akane Kirino patted her legs.
She sat up, and Zong Gu held the handrail and stood in front of the three of them.
"Does Mr. Aiguchi know the teacher, too?"
"I probably just saw it, and I also have a little understanding of the teacher's energy, so I shouldn't be able to speak."
"The appearance of Teacher Ling and Jue will not change. Will others doubt it?" Hongzi asked in a low voice.
He shook his head at Wuling, "I will doubt it, but that's all."
Akane Kirino hugged her waist and said, "After all, no one would have thought that the teacher was actually a god."
"Shh!"
Hongzi was more nervous than the person involved, and Chao Wuling just smiled at her.
"I wish we could live like Ling."
Akane Kirino leaned back and suddenly felt a little melancholy, "Otherwise, when we are all dead in a hundred years, who will accompany the bell?"
“…”
Chao Wuling pursed his lower lip and raised his eyes to look at Zong Gu.
He touched her face.
"Life is limited. At least for this hundred years, we will be together."
She lowered her head and rubbed her cheek against the palm of his hand.
