The closer we get to the holidays, the slower time passes.
The slower time passes, the more anxious the waiting people become. Therefore, in their perception, the speed of time passing becomes even slower.
Soya thought as he looked at Fushimi Keisuke, who was holding his head in his hands and bouncing his legs in front of him.
The Zhilei incident has come to an end, and in two days, it will be Golden Week.
A week-long break is a great temptation for students or salarymen. The restless atmosphere spreads among the student group, and everyone is both an infected person and the source of the next wave of restlessness.
Even Zongya, who looked at the holidays indifferently, now became full of expectations for the upcoming Golden Week.
"Time flies so slowly..."
Time passed by second by second, and one thousand five hundred and sixty-seven seconds later, this math class was finally over.
The mathematics teacher of Class A was Shibasaki Makoto. After the bell rang, he packed up the teaching materials and complained on the podium.
"... Even though Golden Week is coming soon, you are still a little too restless. If a teacher comes to complain, I will have a headache. I can't do this again in the next class."
"Obviously Cheng is also waiting for a vacation, right? When I went to the staff room, I saw the travel schedule on your desk."
"...What, was it actually seen?"
Zonggu below laughed, then raised his arms and stretched.
When he looked around, he saw Kirino Akane passing by in the corridor outside the door.
"..."
She was not alone, but following a teacher.
He also knew the serious old man, who was the common Mandarin teacher of Class A and Class B, Nakajiang Yue.
Kirino Akane also quickly noticed his gaze, puffed her mouth from a distance, and then disappeared behind the classroom wall of Class A.
...What did this guy do again?
Due to her somewhat out-of-the-box personality, Akane Kirino was called to the staff room by her teacher after nearly a month of school, which actually happened quite often.
The reason is nothing more than her talking during class, handing notes, running away, and even eating lunch...and her seat is in the middle of the first row of the classroom facing the podium.
Nakajiang Yue, who was walking in front of her now, was known for being strict and rigid among first-grade teachers.
"...Is this the third time this week?"
Just when Soya stretched out his arms, looking outside and thinking wildly, Shibazaki Makoto on the podium suddenly called his name.
"Okay, let's take Sogu."
"..."
Fushimi turned to look at him and said nothing, while Soya looked confused.
"What?"
"Go to the staff room with Cheng and get back the test papers from the last exam."
Fushimi suddenly understood what he was going through, leaned back against the table, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Cheng thought Souya was raising his hand, go ahead."
"..."
Running errands was just a trivial matter. Zonggu had nothing to say except shaking his head. He left his seat and followed the teacher.
The two walked towards the staff room one after another. The short and round Shibasaki Makoto had to raise his head when he looked back at him.
"Sogu also did well in the exam this time, keep up the good work."
"yes."
"By the way, how are you doing, Ms. Tachibana?"
"..."
Zonggu was silent for a few seconds, "I don't know."
Tachibana Tenko, who recommended him and Asagiri Suzu to enter Dankai High School, seemed to be an important investor in the school council, and he only learned this from a well-informed boy more than two weeks after the school started.
Seeing Soya evading, Shibazaki Makoto didn't say much and turned back to his round face with a smile.
"take it."
Returning to the staff room, he handed the stack of test papers for the in-person exam to Soya, who was turning his head to look at the other side.
Mandarin teacher Nakagaku was holding a notebook and pointing, and next to him was Kirino Akane, who was standing honestly.
"Do you also know Soya, Kirino-san from Class B?" Shibazaki Makoto glanced over there, and then remembered something, "By the way, you are in the same club."
"Yes."
Zonggu took the test paper, looked at it a few more times, then turned and left the staff room.
A few minutes later, Akane Kirino came out.
"Wow."
Only then did she notice Sogu waiting in the corridor outside the door. After being surprised, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and then she complained to him.
"Nakajiang is really good at talking!"
"Keep your voice down."
The two walked towards the classroom.
"What's the reason this time?" Zonggu asked.
Akane Kirino said calmly, "I slept in class."
"..."
"I'm too sleepy. Nakajiang is so hypnotic in class that I fell asleep without even realizing it."
The recess lasted only ten minutes. As soon as the two of them walked near the classroom, the bell rang for the next class.
"Let's talk about it during lunch break." Kirino Akane waved her hand and quickened her pace back to Class B.
After two classes, she came to Class A with a lunch box.
"..."
As soon as Fushimi turned around, she saw her pulling Soya up and walking together to the front next to Yoshikawa and Asagiri Suzu.
Soon, he came back to move the stool.
"Sorry, Fushimi can eat by himself today."
Fushimi shook his head, picked up his lunch box and sat down with the other boys.
Soya moved a stool and sat next to Asagiri Suzu's seat, sitting opposite Yoshikawa and Kirino Akane. This was the first time the four of them had lunch together in school.
"Akane was called to the staff room by Nakae?"
"I fell asleep during class." Kirino Akane opened her lunch box and sighed before starting, "I feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep these days."
"Did you stay up late?"
Zonggu asked. There were two bento boxes with the same dishes on the table in front of him.
"No."
She picked up her chopsticks and said, "I've been working part-time these days and I've been a little too busy. I started-"
"Working...at Jiequan Pavilion?"
Kirino Akane nodded with food in her mouth.
"Akane is making pocket money." Yoshikawa, who was sitting across from him, explained, "It's money for fun during the Golden Week."
"Uh-huh."
Kirino Akane swallowed the food, "If you don't go to the store to help, mom won't give you pocket money."
"Yeah."
Based on what he had seen and heard before, Soya always thought that she was in a state of getting everything she wanted at home. Kirino Akane explained that it was just a short period of happiness before the high school entrance examination.
“I really want to take the college entrance examination right away!”
"Then you will miss three golden weeks, summer vacation, and New Year..."
"Ah... then forget it."
Kirino Akane took a few more bites of the bento and continued to explain:
"I didn't control myself during the first semester of school. I bought a lot of things and didn't go to the store to help much. All the money was spent... But traveling and staying during the Golden Week cost a lot of money."
Soya looked away from the lunch box and asked, "Accommodation?"
"yes."
"It's not the time you want to go out with me, is it?"
"Of course it's this time. Didn't Anko tell Soya?"
Absolutely not.
He looked at Yoshikawa, who rolled his eyes and said, "I forgot."
"But it's just one night in Kyoto. It's a very high-end hotel. Does Soya have any other arrangements?"
"No." Soya shook his head, "But it only takes an hour at most to get back here from Kyoto. Is it necessary to spend the night there?"
Yoshikawa disagreed, "If we rush on our way during the holidays, wouldn't it completely ruin the atmosphere?"
"What's the atmosphere?"
“Of course it’s the atmosphere of enjoying the holiday with peace of mind.”
During the Golden Week, apart from going out for outdoor cooking with Yoriken, the only current arrangement was to change from a one-day trip to Kyoto to a one-day and one-night trip to Kyoto, so Soya agreed.
"Then it's decided."
After finishing lunch, Kirino Akane went to the club room as usual to have a look.
"There will be no commission."
Zonggu has also finished eating and is drinking the green tea he just bought. "It's almost Golden Week, no one will pay attention to such trivial things."
Akane Kirino thought for a while:
"So, if you receive a commission at this time, there is a high probability that it will be a real supernatural event, right?"
"..."
Before Zong Gu could think of how to refute, she pulled her to the club room in the special building.
At this time, the atrium was very lively with people coming and going, while there were almost no students in the Special Building.
The two of them arrived at the club room on the fourth floor. The door was closed, but there was no need to go in.
Akane Kirino opened the mailbox that she nailed to the door of the club room with her own hands. There was nothing inside.
"No...I didn't receive the commission in my email."
"It's a good thing to have no delegation."
She was flipping through her phone while Soya leaned against the door, "Is Kirino going to work in the store after school today? What should I do if I receive a commission at this time?"
Kirino Akane was stunned for a few seconds, "Isn't there Souya and Anko as well."
"It's strange that Yoshikawa is willing to stay when Kirino isn't here."
"Hongzi will be willing."
She smiled, lowered her gaze, and suddenly noticed something that seemed to be placed under the crack of the door behind his feet.
