Zonggu bent down and took out the envelope from under the door. There was nothing written on both sides.
"Give me."
He handed the envelope to Kirino Akane. She did not open it directly, but looked at him sideways.
"..."
Soya quickly surrendered.
"I plan to take a look at it myself first and then hand it over to Kirino."
"I am the minister."
With a hint of her original intention, Kirino Akane didn't embarrass him too much, but she still had to express her attitude.
"I am not a delicate flower in the greenhouse."
"Having said that..." Soya was still worried about the Sengoku armor incident some time ago, "If you encounter danger, it's hard to guarantee whether it will be blown by wind and rain, or uprooted."
"I know."
Kirino Akane looked at him seriously, "But, I believe in Soya. Soya, don't underestimate me."
He had nothing to say and just nodded.
She immediately smiled and opened the envelope.
"Let's take a look at what the commission is first."
Inside was a piece of beige letter paper folded several times, with beautiful handwriting, most likely written by a girl, and the signature underneath also confirmed this.
"Kurihara Narumi-san from Class E of the first year..."
Kirino Akane didn't care about what happened just now. She leaned in front of Soya and read the commission letter in her hand with him.
"It doesn't seem like a small matter."
According to the description in the letter, this Kurihara classmate has always felt that someone is following her recently. However, whether she suddenly turned around or secretly filmed behind her with her mobile phone, she found nothing.
And this feeling only appeared on a certain section of her way home.
After much thought, she thought she had been struck by something evil, so she decided to go to the school's Unnatural Phenomena Research Department to investigate before calling the police.
As for the more detailed situation, Kurihara Narumi wanted to come to the club room and explain it to them in person after school today.
"Is it a spirit body?"
After reading the commission letter, Kirino Akane looked at Soya inquiringly.
"Maybe."
He took the letter and looked at it a few more times, "There are a lot of taken-for-granted descriptions in it. You have to ask in person to find out."
"Really?" Kirino Akane gave him the envelope, "Then leave it to Soya and Anko. Although I also want to go, I still have to work part-time."
She patted his shoulder again, "Here, I appoint Zong Gu as the deputy director of the Unnatural Phenomena Research Department, responsible for all matters in the director's absence."
Zongya laughed and put the commission letter back into the envelope.
"What an honor."
...
From noon to the end of school in the afternoon, the two or three hours in between still passed very long.
And there is an evening class meeting before school.
The deputy teacher is not there every day, he only needs to show up occasionally, but Shibazaki Makoto can't come.
"...That's it. Be safe after school and go home early."
After explaining the matter, he announced that school was over.
While Soya was still packing his things, Yoshikawa came over to look for him.
"Let's go there."
Kirino Akane was not here, but she was more active than he expected.
According to Yoshikawa herself, this is the duty she should fulfill as a deputy minister who has high hopes from the minister.
"Tirino said that I am the deputy minister."
"I wrote it on paper, and the student union also stamped it."
"..."
The deputy minister who only existed in words quickly packed up his things and followed the real deputy minister to the Unnatural Phenomenon Research Department's office again.
After the school started for a period of time, Asagiri Suzu no longer followed Soya every day. For example, today she went to the literature club, and only Soya and Yoshikawa were waiting in the club room.
The place they occupied as a department room was the school's biology preparation room. There was a long table in the middle, various instruments were placed in the cabinets on both sides, and there was a rather realistic human body model in the corner.
The two sat across the table from each other, waiting for the client to come to the door, reading a book or playing with their mobile phones, and occasionally chatting intermittently.
Until the sound of approaching footsteps brought their attention back.
"Are you coming?"
The person who just opened the sliding door and walked into the club room was not Kurihara Narumi.
"Hmm, are it just Soya and Yoshikawa today?"
Noma Minami walked straight in and looked at the two of them again, "The combination of the two of you is quite rare."
"Teacher." Yoshikawa stood up and said hello.
"Teacher Noma is even rarer for this club." Soya just looked at her, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I have a meeting with the physical education teacher later. I can't go back directly yet, so I just came over casually."
Through the sportswear, Noma Minami scratched his butt without any image, "Where is Soya's loli girlfriend, why didn't she follow you today?"
"Ling went to the literature club."
"You actually didn't deny it...you lolicon."
Soya glanced at her, "It's useless to deny it in front of Mr. Noma, who doesn't keep his word."
Pulling out the chair, Noma Minami sat down.
"Because I saw it with my own eyes. If Souya seriously said that he hates lolita, I would never say that again."
"..."
Zonggu said nothing.
Noma Minami looked at Yoshikawa, "Let's see."
Although Yoshikawa knew that this was not the case, she was not very good at dealing with this female teacher who was unrestrained in all aspects and could only respond with a silly smile.
"No one can refuse a small and cute girl, I understand."
Noma Minami sounded sympathetic, then turned his eyes and looked at Soya again.
"But you must not become that dangerous person. I don't want to see Soya arrested for child molestation on the news one day."
"..."
He was really too lazy to respond, but when he saw Yoshikawa nodding solemnly beside him, he still defended himself.
"I'm not interested in loli, but I don't hate them yet."
Soya felt that he had to say a few words for Asagiri Suzu:
"And for people, 'young' and 'small' are two different concepts.
The former is a state that has not yet truly developed and should not be compared with other sexual attributes;
The latter one is fully developed, but it’s just petite. It’s natural to love the tiny and delicate parts of it, right?”
"..."
The department room fell into silence.
Noma Minami and Yoshikawa remained motionless, staring at him for a long time.
"Is this something someone who has no interest can say?"
"...No."
Zonggu couldn't stay any longer.
He got up and left, deciding to go find the client who had not arrived yet.
"ah……"
I just opened the sliding door, but there was a girl wearing glasses standing outside the door. When I saw the door opened, I took a few steps back.
Judging from the color of the school badge on her uniform, she is a first-year student.
"Kurihara-san?"
Soya guessed the identity of the visitor, "It's Kurihara Narumi, a classmate from Class E of the first year, right?"
"Yes."
She bent down slightly and said, "I'm sorry."
"..."
Soya looked back at Noma Minami and Yoshikawa, hesitating whether to let her enter the club room.
Yoshikawa smiled and said, "Kurihara-san, please come in."
"Excuse me..."
Kurihara Narumi looked at Soya who was blocking the door, and he quickly got out of the way.
"Ah, so there is a commission today?"
As soon as he saw something serious happening, Noma Minami immediately planned to leave.
"...Can you be a little more responsible?"
"At the beginning, Zonggu told me that all I needed to do was come to the club and show my name." She evaded with good reason, "and the meeting is about to start."
"..."
Noma Minami left, Soya sat back down, and Yoshikawa also moved over to sit with him.
The client sat down opposite.
"Excuse me……"
Kurihara Narumi glanced at the envelope on the table, "Have you reached any conclusion about what happened to me?"
"No."
Soya shook his head, "The amount of information in this letter is too little, and Kurihara-san still needs to supplement some details."
"OK."
Kurihara Narumi nodded, she came here just for this matter, "Do you want to start now?"
"Hold on……"
Zong Gu wanted to find something to record. He looked around and found that his schoolbag was placed on the opposite side;
Just as he was about to get up to get it, Yoshikawa next to him took out his pen and paper and handed it to him.
