Soya and the other three were the first group to finish the three dishes. After eating and drinking enough, they had packed up the kitchen utensils and tableware, and it was already past the time for get out of class to end.
"After cleaning up, remember to lock the door when you leave the home economics classroom." Teacher Usami left the classroom after leaving these words.
Zonggu took off his headscarf and said, "Let's go back to the classroom too."
"I'm a little nervous..."
Yoshikawa Anko held his shoulders, "It turns out that the curry I made can be so delicious... I accidentally ate too much."
"So, it's better to go back to the classroom and rest early."
"Um……"
Walking out of the fragrant home economics classroom, the three of them left the special building and passed through the cherry-filled atrium under the sun. When they went upstairs, they met Akane Kirino coming down.
"Kirino."
"Um...eh?"
The girl was in such a hurry that she didn't even notice them.
"How was it?" She quickly remembered their home economics class today, "Today's cooking."
"its not bad, right."
Zongya gestured behind him, "Yoshikawa is so full."
"..."
Yoshikawa held his back, raised his head and smiled at her.
"Yeah."
Kirino Akane also smiled, but an unspeakable feeling of loneliness surged out of her heart uncontrollably.
She also wants to cook with them in class and then enjoy it together...
"...Akane?"
Yoshikawa noticed the subtle changes in her expression.
Akane Kirino quickly recovered, shook her head, and pointed downstairs.
"I'm going to go find the consultant, see you later~"
"Um……"
After watching her disappear around the corner of the stairs, Yoshikawa turned back and found Soya looking at him.
"If you care, why not go with her."
"..."
She curled her lips and said, "I would like to, but I'm really exhausted."
Zonggu laughed, took two steps up, and suddenly stopped.
Yoshikawa was also forced to stop, and then he turned around.
"Noma Minami."
"..."
She was startled, "Assistant teacher?"
"Yeah. If you ask her to be the club's counselor, you won't be rejected."
"Why?"
"I know her."
"I know him too..."
"I mean somewhere else."
Sogu turned around and prepared to go downstairs, then looked at Yoshikawa, "Can you go back to the classroom by yourself?"
She put her arm on Asaguri Suzu's shoulders, and the latter shook a little.
"no problem."
"……be careful."
Going down to the second floor, Soya saw Akane Kirino near the end of the corridor.
"Kirino!"
She stopped and turned around in surprise.
"...Sogu?"
As she approached, Zonggu said: "I know where to find the consultant teacher, come with me."
"Eh, really?"
"Yes. He is the deputy teacher of Class A."
"The deputy teacher...hasn't that person never come to school?"
"Here today."
The two went down to the ground floor and walked around to the entrance on the other side. Soya remembered that when Noma Minami introduced herself in the morning, she said that her staff room was here.
"Hey, that teacher is a physical education teacher."
"Yeah, and Kirino's physical education teacher will also be her in the future."
The two stopped at the door of the staff room, and Soya knocked on the door.
"excuse me."
Opening the sliding door, Noma Minami was eating a bento and looked over here.
Kirino Akane also "discovered" her existence.
"Sogu, that teacher..."
"That's right."
The two walked over, and Noma Minami used his feet to pull out the obstructive chair next to him, and did not speak after swallowing the food in his mouth.
She stared at Kirino Akane for a while, and then moved to Soya.
"Teacher Noma." He started.
"What?"
"I want to set up a new club and am currently looking for a consultant teacher. I would like to invite Mr. Noma to take up this position."
"Yeah."
Noma Minami looked at him for a while, then took a mouthful of rice.
"I reject."
"..."
With a crash, the door to the staff room suddenly opened.
"Oh, Mr. Noma, have you caught the disobedient students?"
Physical education teacher Tsuchiya Taishi walked in and walked straight to his office without noticing that Sotani was his student.
Soya looked at him, while Akane Kirino and Minami Noma stared at the area above his head.
The wandering spirit that was about to disappear sat cross-legged on his shoulders, its legs wrapped around his neck, its expression still numb.
"That is...Miss Wuding?"
"So there is a name?"
Noma Minami glanced at her, "Do you know her?"
"Absolutely..." Kirino Akane looked at Soya, "It was Soya and I who brought Miss Wuding here."
"Don't pull such a prank."
Noma Minami turned to Soya and complained, "On the first day of work, I saw a spirit body riding on my colleague's neck. It really affected my work enthusiasm."
"..."
Zongya briefly explained how he found the spirit body in the physical education warehouse and brought her here. As for how she got entangled with the physical education teacher, he didn't know.
He lowered his voice, "Did Teacher Tsuchiya say anything?"
"It's cold, what else can I say."
Noma Minami ate the rest of the lunch in two bites and wiped his mouth, "Aren't ordinary people like this?"
"Why don't Teacher Noma separate them?"
"I just returned to school, and there is a lot of work waiting for me. But I am very busy, and I don't have time to take care of such noisy things."
She said and looked at them again, "As for the club consultant you mentioned, I don't have time."
"Just put your name on it." Soya said, with a sincere and direct attitude, "I don't really want Mr. Noma to come and disturb me very often."
"..."
Noma Minami glanced at him, "Soya is the person in charge of the club?"
"I am the person in charge." Akane Kirino said.
"Really? What are the activities of the club?"
"Collect and investigate paranormal incidents, then solve them!"
Her voice was a little louder, and Tsuchiya, who was sitting on the other side of the staff room, heard her and turned to look over.
"Oh, what is that, a club? It sounds interesting."
"Yes! Teacher, have you heard anything strange?"
"Something strange..."
Tsuchiya turned his chair and faced this way, "I seem to have encountered something strange myself."
He looked up at the ceiling, "Recently, I always feel chilly above my neck, as if the air conditioner is on. But the air conditioner in the staff room is always turned off, and other teachers don't feel this way either... Isn't it strange?"
Akane Kirino took a deep breath and looked at Soya again.
"What's wrong?"
She didn't answer, but reached out and touched the amulet on his chest, then mustered up the courage to go over.
"..."
Noma Minami kicked his feet.
"girlfriend?"
"no."
"Then she must like you."
Zong Gu took out the amulet and looked at her, "This is hers."
"oh--?"
She held her chin and drawled her voice, but Zonggu ignored her.
On the other side, Kirino Akane walked up to Tsuchiya solemnly and suddenly gave her a slap in the face.
"The evil spirits are gone!"
"..."
Tsuchiya was caught off guard and was startled.
Kirino Akane took the opportunity to grab "Ms. Wuding's" leg around his neck, pulled her away, and gently pushed her to another corner of the staff room.
"Teacher, do you still feel chilly now?"
Tsuchiya was stunned, touched his neck, looked at the ceiling, stood up and turned around twice.
"Strange...that feeling is gone."
Akane Kirino smiled, "Because the evil spirit has been driven away by me."
"Oh, that's awesome!"
"...All in all, our club activities are pretty much like this."
On the other side of the staff room, Soya looked at the silent Noma Minami.
"Teacher Noma, are you interested in putting your name on the line?"
